Chapter 118: Australian Kangaroo's Sturdy Defense!
Dönitz did not know now that Cheng Gong had already agreed with Hitler, who decided to build a large submarine fleet for the German Navy, and planned to purchase 120 X-type submarines from Donghui, who would package and sell all the technology of the X-type submarines to Germany after receiving all the money.
According to Cheng Gong's proposal, the German Navy will build a massive submarine fleet with 500 X-type submarines. This would undoubtedly be an extremely terrifying nightmare for the British sea transport fleet and routes!
Cheng Gong is very much looking forward to the fact that after the outbreak of World War II, the manufacturing speed of the US imperialists' Freedom Wheel and Brilliant Wheel can still compete with the hunting and predation speed of the German sea wolf pack commanded by Dönitz? When the British Isles were besieged and turned into a desert island that had lost foreign supplies, did Churchill, a dead fat man, still have the confidence to fight Germany to the end?
The various "reactionary remarks" against the Donghui Kingdom that Churchill shouted at the British cabinet meeting reached Cheng Gong as soon as possible through the channels of the German Military Espionage Bureau. Moreover, there is intelligence that the reason why Britain, France, and the United States came up with this action to aid Australia is largely due to Churchill's multi-faceted campaigning and lobbying.
For Churchill's behavior, Cheng Gong really has a refreshing feeling that someone will send a pillow when he is sleepy.
If you white ghost animals don't take the initiative to stir up trouble, how can this king continue to hold high the glorious banner of maintaining world peace!
You must know that if European and American countries do not play conspiracy and tricks against Donghui, Cheng Gong wants to win the plan of Australian New Guinea and unify the whole island of New Guinea in one fell swoop, and he is still a little undecided!
After all, Australian New Guinea is now legally entrusted by the League of Nations to the Australian government, and if Donghui starts a war and swallows Australian New Guinea in one bite and maintains world peace and stability, Cheng Gong will not be able to sing any more.
Now that Churchill is jumping up and down and clamoring to sanction Donghui, Cheng Gong certainly has to play a game with this dead fat man.
Modern warfare is fought with real money and silver, and it is fought against a country's overall overall strength.
Since Cheng Gong came to this time and space******** he has been thinking about how to turn World War II into a pot of porridge, and now he has the opportunity to serve a plate of dessert before the feast with the white ghost animals.
Only by letting European and American countries know what a modern logistics support system is, can Donghui take this opportunity to develop people's livelihood light industry after the outbreak of World War II, and then establish a complete set of light industry system built by Donghui's workers.
You must know that modern military logistics support covers a much larger area.
From field food, clothing, shoes and hats, tents, sleeping bags, daily necessities, equipment and hangers, medicine and bandages, to weapons and ammunition, transportation, medical support, repair and maintenance, spare parts supply, fuel supply, electronic communications, and so on.
Once the war breaks out, the demand for logistical supplies of the participating countries must be calculated in units of 10,000 tons every day. At that time, all of Donghui's factories will be converted to wartime mechanisms and will be operating at full capacity. This will undoubtedly be a great strengthening for the establishment and improvement of Donghui's light industry structure and the upgrading of the industrial chain.
Moreover, war is still the best way to explode all kinds of equipment. A large number of equipment will certainly be able to further stimulate the rapid development of Donghui's military heavy industry, only need to absorb and digest the various types of industrial technology provided by Cheng Gong for Donghui, and the future of Donghui's national industrialization system, its starting specifications are far stronger than those of European and American countries.
In order to obtain the various advanced technologies disclosed by Donghui, nowadays, Krupp AG, Henschel AG, Mauser Arsenal, Wilhelmshaven Shipyard, Daimler Automobile Plant, Messerschmitt AG, Augsburg Maschinengel, Rheinmetall AG, Hanomark Company, Blom Foss Shipyard, Siemens Electric Company;
ExxonMobil, General Motors, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, McDonald, Douglas, DuPont Pharmaceuticals, Procter & Gamble, Grumman, Lockheed, Martin;
Rolls-Royce & Co., Portsmouth Shipyard, Armstrong Shipyard, Vickers & Co., **** Company, British Petroleum. British Mining Corporation, Field Company; Saint-Nazaire shipyard, Atlantic Shipyard, Alstom Maschinenbau, France; Nearly 300 world-renowned enterprises such as Royal Dutch Shell and Cartier of Switzerland have invested and built factories in Donghui Zhennan Province and Dingnan Province.
Donghui Shuguang Island has become the most lively investment mecca in all countries in the world. This trend is getting bigger and bigger, and there is an endless stream of large and small businesses and business owners from all over the world who come and go to Dawn Island.
No one knows that behind this thriving and incomparably peaceful investment and economic development, a war is coming.
Since the Donghui Kingdom began to invest heavily in infrastructure construction on Dawn Island, the Australian federal government began to dig trenches and build permanent fortifications while strictly ordering the border guards deployed on the island of New Guinea to stand by along the 141st parallel of east longitude.
After receiving economic and military assistance from the United States, Britain and France, a team of architects and construction companies from France contracted a large-scale project to build defensive fortifications on the "141st Parallel" on the island of New Guinea, which was named the "Marcch Line".
The whole island of New Guinea is slightly northwest-southeast, about 2,400 kilometers long from east to west, and 640 kilometers wide in the middle. The central mountains are coiled and stretch from northwest to southeast, forming a rolling central mountainous area. Most of the mountains and plateaus are above 4,000 meters above sea level, making it the highest island in the world.
The highest peak is Jaya Peak, which is 5,030 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in Oceania.
The eastern part is the Mahler Range, which gradually decreases in the east and then extends to the southeast to form the Owen Stanley Range on the Papua Peninsula.
The northern mountain range, also known as the Coast Range, is a fault mountain that is very steep and steep towards the coast.
When the French helped the Australian federal government design the overall defensive line, they played a clever trick and deliberately pushed the southern defense line northwest to the town of Marauch on the pretext of making full use of the terrain to save money.
Geographically, the town of Malaoch belongs to the former Dutch New Guinea, that is, the city should be the territory of Donghui at present. However, due to the remoteness of the place, the government agency of the Donghui Kingdom is a newly created grass platform team, and the Donghui government has not had time to pay attention to the most remote town on Dawn Island.
The Australian government felt that the opportunity was rare, and if it weren't for the intervention of this damn Donghui Kingdom, the entire island of New Guinea would belong to the Australian Federation. In line with this mentality, the entire defensive line was designed to start from the southernmost Malauch, connect with the town of Potal on the "141st Parallel", and stretch in a straight line along the "141st Parallel" to Beiping to the central mountainous area.
With the vigorous assistance of Britain, France, the United States, Canada and other countries, the construction progress of the "Marauch Line" has completely surpassed the construction project of the "Macedonian Line" in France. The defense center of the entire defense line is also dominated by the plain on the south side of the central mountainous area, which consists of a support zone with a depth of 4-14 kilometers and a main defense zone with a depth of 6-8 kilometers. The construction is also strongest in the southern plains and swampy areas.
In the most important section from Marauch to Potar, a complex of fortifications combining surface and underground parts was constructed, suitable for ring defense. Its ground part was armored or reinforced concrete machine-gun fortifications and artillery fortifications. The underground part has several floors, including a command post, a personnel lounge, a food storage room, an ammunition depot, an ambulance station, a power station, a filtration and ventilation room, etc.
There are passages between the fortifications, and the battery cars are connected. The weapons in the firing fortifications were specially designed and installed. A total of 4,200 permanent fortifications for various purposes were built along the entire defensive line, with a density of 15 fronts per kilometer. The roof and walls of the strongest reinforced concrete fortifications were up to 3.5 meters thick, and the armor of the armored tower was up to 300 mm thick, which was resistant to direct hits from two 420-mm mortar shells.
The anti-tank obstacles in the defensive line mainly include anti-tank trenches, cliffs, cliffs, and metal and concrete piles, reinforced with minefields. Anti-infantry obstacles are generally metal piles or wooden piles with barbed wire, and some sections are also equipped with electrified barbed wire.
In the words of the French engineers, when this defense line is completed, if the Donghui Kingdom has the courage to attack Australian New Guinea from the southern plains, it is guaranteed that as many people will die as many as they come! Because the "Maroch Line" is a greater military architectural marvel than the "Macedonian Line"!
