Marine aquaculture and deep-sea fishing are the two pillar industries established by Cheng Gong for Donghui's people's livelihood economy.

Up to now, more than 3,000 distant-water fishing vessels are active in the waters of the Arafura Sea, the Selan Sea, the Coral Sea, the Banda Sea, the Maluku Sea and the Central Pacific Ocean.

In the coastal waters of Zhennan Province and Dingnan Province, there are more than 2,000 large and small seafood farms, which greatly enrich the vegetable basket project of Donghui people.

In addition, there are more than 100 ocean-going shipping companies registered with Donghui, and nearly 300,000 Donghui citizens are employed.

The rapid development of the offshore and offshore marine industry chain is obviously inseparable from the fact that Cheng Gong attaches great importance to it.

The sea, sea frontier and sea power were established by Cheng Gong as the foundation of Donghui as early as the beginning of the founding of Donghui.

Although the division and attention of territorial waters and maritime boundaries in this era are far less sensitive than those of later generations, conflicts of interest between fishermen and fishermen of various countries are still emerging one after another.

The conflict between Donghui fishermen and Australian fishermen over fishing grounds has become increasingly serious after Britain, France, the United States and other countries have provided strong assistance to the Australian government.

After the Donghui Navy launched an ocean-going patrol mission to protect the fishing for Donghui fishermen, the Australian Navy immediately confronted each other. Fortunately, the officers and men of the navies of the two countries have maintained a high degree of restraint, and so far there has not been a vicious incident in which the ships of the two sides have clashed their guns.

However, the "Australian warship ramming Donghui fishing boat" that occurred in the southern waters of the Arafura Sea at 4:36 p.m. on June 1, 1939 inevitably became the fuse that detonated the military conflict between Donghui and Australia.

Whether the Donghui Air Force has the strength to comprehensively suppress the Australian Air Force, Cheng Gong does not have the slightest doubt about this.

In order to delay the development of advanced fighter planes by the British, French, and American allies, Cheng Gong has been prevaricating with various reasons for the piston helicopter technology that Cheng Gong originally promised to open up to Britain, France, and the United States. After the incident of Ford's attempt to embezzle the CNC precision machine tool technology of the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in Shenpeng City was exposed, Cheng Gong took advantage of the situation and postponed the delivery date of piston helicopter technology to the beginning of 1941 without any room for negotiation.

As for whether the intelligence agencies of the United States and Britain had the ability to obtain physical samples of the high-power radial piston engines assembled by piston helicopters from Germany, Cheng Gong directly chose to ignore them. If Hitler could not see the strategic value of those high-power radial piston engines, it would be better to let the mustache die as soon as possible.

Although Britain, the United States and France have been racing against time to develop more advanced fighter jets to counter the F4U Corsair, F8F Panda and AD-1 Skyraider that Donghui exported to Germany, Italy and Japan, at present, the British, French-American alliance can only provide the Australian Air Force with a large number of Hurricane, Spitfire, MS.406, F2U Buffalo, F4F Wildcat, P36, P38 and P40 fighters.

In addition, countries such as the United Kingdom, France and the United States have mobilized a large number of air and naval pilots to come to Australia as volunteers. Since Donghui can't win in terms of "quality", it will seek advantages in "quantity".

However, when the newly developed P-51D Mustang fighter of the Donghui Air Force was put into service, whether it was the Australian Air Force, or the pilot volunteers of the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, they all felt an inexplicable fear and deep despair.

ALTHOUGH THE PILOT'S PILOTING AND FLYING SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN WINNING IN AIR COMBAT, FLYING A FIGHTER WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF LESS THAN 500 KILOMETERS PER HOUR AND PLAYING AERIAL COMBAT WITH A FIGHTER WITH A FLIGHT SPEED OF MORE THAN 700 KILOMETERS PER HOUR AND A 20MM CANNON INSTALLED IN THE AIR WILL KILL YOU, NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR FLYING SKILLS ARE!

In the face of the Donghui Air Force, which has brought the performance of piston engine aircraft to the extreme, in the past two months, almost all pilots in Australia have refused to take to the air to compete with the Donghui Air Force. That intense blow to self-confidence and self-esteem has turned into an unbearable physical and mental torture and torment.

The Arafura Sea is a sea area near Australia's territorial waters.

An old British V-class destroyer flying the Australian flag and the navy flag is slowly circling around three sailing fishing boats flying the five-star red flag of Donghui.

One of the Donghui fishing boats was obviously hit, and the starboard hull shattered a gap nearly two meters long, but fortunately, the hull under the waterline was not directly damaged, but the keel of the boat seemed to be damaged, so that the fishing boat could only use less than three knots to drive northwest little by little.

The fishermen on the three Donghui fishing boats, each with rifles or pistols in their hands, all stared at the Australian warship about a nautical mile apart with fire-breathing eyes, as if they would shoot at the other side if they dared to approach the boat.

Wang Bingchang originally thought that he would be as relaxed and happy as before, but he did not expect that the Australian fishermen fishing in the same waters would actually summon an Australian Navy warship cruising nearby. What surprised Wang Bingchang even more was that the Australian warship drove the ship into his fishing boat without even giving a warning. If he hadn't avoided it in time, it would have been the end of the ship's wreckage and death.

Although the personnel were only slightly injured and frightened, the hull of his fishing boat was so badly damaged that it could have been scrapped.

Of course, Wang Bingchang didn't know that the captain of the old V-class destroyer of the Australian Navy, Rear Admiral Holvinson, was drinking heavily on the ship today.

Holvinson was originally an Australian Navy Captain and captain of the Australian Navy light cruiser HMS Hobart. A week ago, when he returned home from a cruise, he found his wife and his immediate boss playing a game of creation in bed, and in a fit of rage, Holvinson beat the boss to death. As a result, Holvinson was also punished by military discipline for beating his superiors, and was not only demoted to the rank of major, but also assigned to the old and dilapidated British Admiralty's old V-class destroyer as a captain.

Feeling that he had been treated unfairly, Holvinson had been drinking heavily all day long since boarding the old V destroyer, and his temper had become extraordinarily rough. Today's cruise in the Arafura Sea was originally just a routine daily mission, but it happened that three Donghui fishing boats were fishing in this disputed waters, and as a result, these three Donghui fishing boats became Major Holwenson's punching bag, and he didn't care whether his behavior was to trigger a military conflict between the Australian government and the Donghui government, so he just had some fun and was happy.

Whether the sea area where this fishing ground is located belongs to Donghui or Australia, no one can say clearly. Originally, the fishermen of the two countries fished here in their own ways and did not interfere with each other. But in the last six months, there have been many clashes between fishermen from the two countries over fish stocks, and the Donghui fishermen, armed with rifles and pistols, have undoubtedly won each of these conflicts.

The Donghui Kingdom implements the national policy of all people being soldiers, and every Donghui citizen family is issued with civilian rifles and pistols to protect their legitimate rights and interests, which is known to all countries in the world. The fishermen of Donghui are strong, and all the fishermen from Australia, the Dutch East Indies and other countries who have dealt with them have a deep understanding.

After seeing that the fishermen on the three Donghui fishing boats had taken out their guns and planned to fight, Major Holvinson, who was carried away by alcohol, was naturally even more angry.

Even these little Donghui fishermen don't take him Holwenson in their eyes, and if they don't teach these yellow monkeys an unforgettable lesson, he Holwenson is not worthy of being an honorable officer of the Royal Australian Navy!
