Without the support of the navies of Britain, France, the United States, the Netherlands, and Canada, the strength of the Australian Navy would not have been able to rise to the table.

If Churchill's "generator plan" had been fully implemented, Australia would have been able to assemble a huge fleet of nearly one million tons of gross tonnage. Even though many of the main ships of this great fleet were obsolete from the First World War, they were still spectacular on the sea.

However, the collapse of the British Royal Navy's Australian Fleet made the "Generator Project" have to die halfway. As a result, the four aircraft carrier battle groups of the East Japan and Germany combined naval forces simply could not find an opponent that could match them.

At present, all of Australia's open military ports have been destroyed, and there are very few surface ships left hiding in the harbors.

Cheng Gong wandered around the west coast of Australia with the "King" for a week, but he did not see half of the warships belonging to the Australian Navy at all.

As Cheng Gong and Canaris had predicted, Britain and France declared no war.

Even if the Donghui Air Force carried out an indiscriminate strategic bombing of Australia's major cities and towns, the British and French governments still only thundered and did not rain.

This is a sea area on the border between the Arafura Sea and the Indian Ocean, between the Dutch East Indies Java Islands and the west coast of Australia.

A huge fleet consisting of two Ise-class battleships "Ise" and "Hyuga", two Aoba-class heavy cruisers "Aoba" and "Kinugasa", three Nagara-class light cruisers "Nagara", "Kinu" and "Yura", twenty-four Akizuki-class destroyers (Keeling-class), eight XXI submarines, and an all-round fast combat support ship, with their huge bows, cut through layers of waves, and splashed countless silver waves at normal cruising speed in battle formation. In this sea area, which no longer belongs to the Donghui Sea Frontier, he sailed unscrupulously.

If you look down from the sky through a satellite, you will find that these steel behemoths belonging to the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy are like stars and moons around a huge steel flower, and the blooming stamen is the battleship "King", which is murderously cleaving the waves in the bright moonlight.

It has been three days since the "King" joined the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Battle Group under the command of Tomozaburo Ozawa, and Cheng Gong's intention to go to sea to shoot targets has not yet been opened. Every day, I either watched the sunrise and sunset blowing the sea breeze on the deck, or I sat in the captain's room to chat with Hitler or Hirohito to pass the time.

Just yesterday, Hitler reminded Cheng Gong that based on the current situation that Australia's naval strength has been zero, if Donghui uses these four aircraft carrier battle groups for operations against Australia, it will really be a bit overkill. Rather than wasting resources on the cruise, these carrier battle groups should be given something else to do.

Needless to say, Cheng Gong could also hear what Hitler meant by other activities.

Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta!

It is certainly not difficult to take Jakarta, which is controlled by the Dutch. But to easily capture the British-controlled Strait of Malacca, this is definitely not an easy task.

Now that war has been officially declared on Britain, it is natural to take action against Britain's colonies in Asia.

What Cheng Gong needs to seriously consider is whether it is necessary to open up two fronts at the same time.

From a strategic point of view, taking over the entire Dutch East Indies would definitely be beneficial to the defense of the entire Oceania.

According to the contents of the "Japan-East Non-Aggression Pact", it is also time to let the hungry wolf of the little devil out to hunt for food.

Although this suggestion was put forward by Hitler, Cheng Gong estimated that it must have been Hirohito, the old boy, who first blew something in Hitler's ears, and the old boy was a little embarrassed to mention Cheng Gong, so he asked Hitler to come forward.

The appearance of two armored divisions of the Japanese Janissary Guard and two heavy tank divisions of the German SS on the battlefield in Papua New Guinea has long made Hitler and Hirohito, two war maniacs, unable to bear the impatience in their hearts.

Learning war through war was originally the best military tutorial formulated by Cheng Gong for the Donghui National Defense Army.

Since Britain, France, the United States and other countries did not send troops to participate in the East Australian War, they would have simply let the German and Japanese troops in the East Australia battlefield withdraw, and let Sun Liren, Hu Lian, Zhang Lingfu, Qiu Qingquan, Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang, Xue Yue and other senior generals of the Wehrmacht take their respective troops to the Papua New Guinea battlefield to fight the Australian army in turn.

With Donghui's existing ocean-going shipping capabilities, it was not difficult to transport the Japanese and German troops in Donghui to Kalimantan and Sumatra for landing.

The only thing that needed to be considered was whether to let these Japanese and German troops continue to fight in Donghui's uniforms, or let them return to their original colors.

Thinking of this, Cheng Gong couldn't help but send a video call request to Hirohito.

As a result, the bell rang only once, and Hirohito's half-body holographic image was revealed in front of Cheng Gong's eyes.

"Brother Hirohito, this king has declared war on the British ghost animals, do you Japan have to show something!"

"Quack, Brother Cheng Gong, I've been waiting for your words for a long time! I didn't say it, when you want me to declare war, I'll declare war whenever you want! The soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire have been waiting impatiently for a long time! ”

"In this way, Brother Hirohito, I will draw two aircraft carrier battle groups for you for the time being, and provide escort and fire support for your army. Let's not move the Philippines for the time being, first take Malaysia and the Dutch East Indies, and then go back and eat the Indochina Peninsula of the French. With the mineral resources and human resources in these places, I estimate that you can increase your local industrial production capacity by at least 30%. ”

"Uh-huh!" Hirohito nodded again and again and said, "It's better for my brother to think it through, and you can leave the war here to our Great Japanese Empire." We, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, promise not to let you down, brother! ”

"Brother Hirohito, this battle is related to your Japan's national fortunes, who are you going to let command?" Cheng Gong asked very seriously.

"According to Ishihara's plan, it is under the command of Okamura Ninji." Hirohito replied.

"If you believe me, someone else." Cheng Gong groaned and said: "To fight Southeast Asia, Yamashita Fengwen is more suitable than Okamura Ningji. ”

Hirohito was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I believe your words!" I'll let Ishihara make personnel adjustments! By the way, Brother Cheng Gong, can I ask you a favor. ”

"What's the busy?" Cheng Gong asked quietly.

"Could you please discuss with the Nationalist Government and give me an excuse so that my army can take Hong Kong first through Guangzhou?" Hirohito said cautiously.

"Don't even think about it!" Cheng Gong refused without hesitation, and said solemnly: "It's best not to get Huaxia involved in our business." Haven't you already prepared for Taiwan to move south? It would not take much to attack Hong Kong directly from Taiwan. If you don't have enough capacity, I can lend you dozens of free ships. ”

"One hundred!" Hirohito said with a smile.

Damn, dare you old boy waiting here!

"Fifty ships at most!" Cheng Gong rolled his eyes and said: "Don't forget, according to what we originally discussed, now the four aircraft carrier battle groups should be fighting for this king, and not take them out for you to use." ”

"Okay! That's it! Hirohito didn't entangle Cheng Gong much, and nodded happily in agreement.
