The violent storms and rains caused by severe tropical storms are beyond the control of any weapon or army. Storm surges, torrential rains, floods and storms cause 60% of all natural disasters to be lost.

In the face of the power of nature, human beings seem so small and helpless.

Donghui has the blessing of King Cheng, and it is necessary to issue a storm warning and make good preparations for disaster prevention in advance.

As for what will become of Australia after this severe tropical storm, Cheng Gongcai has no mind to pay attention to it.

The weather changes have bought the Australian army a lot of time, and even if thousands of people are killed by torrential rains, floods, and mudslides, it will be worth it.

In a natural cave on the 308 heights of Owen Stanley Hill, Lieutenant General Frank, the commander of the Australian Seventh Tank Division, had bloodshot blue eyes in his sunken eye sockets, but his thin cheeks revealed a sense of absolute fortitude.

Here is the temporary command of the 7th Tank Division. As the commander of the 7th Tank Division, Lieutenant General Frank has always been confident in holding the "Maroch Line". But by now, that confidence is long gone.

At the outbreak of the Aussie-Eastern War, Frank led his troops to garrison Seki, which was subordinate to the Seki Army, and the 7th Tank Division served as the general reserve attack arrow for the Simpsons Army from defense to counteroffensive. Frank never dreamed that the attack of Donghui's army would be so sharp and the speed of advance would be so fast.

Didn't the British advisers say that even the British army could break through the "Maroch Line"? Doesn't it mean that the Donghui Defense Force is a group of boy scouts who have just been in the army for less than two years? Isn't it said that the army of the yellow race is the worst army? Didn't you say that Donghui didn't dare to declare war on the Australian Federation?

However, this is not the case at all!

If the Donghui Defense Force is a bunch of Boy Scouts, then the Australian Army is not even as good as the Boy Scouts!

The king of Donghui did not take the British Empire and the French Third Republic seriously at all.

Fooled! Prime Minister Lines has fallen for the British and the French! The entire Australian army fell for the British and the French!

"General, what should we do now?" James James, chief of staff of the 7th Tank Division, asked in a hoarse voice: "The sea has long been blocked by the Donghui Navy, and it is impossible to return to the mainland." Even if we can put on wings, we still need to face the attack of the Donghui Air Force.

General, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, experienced it myself, and killed me, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a powerful army in this world. Even if it was the army of the British, it would certainly not be an opponent of Donghui's army. ”

"It was a mistake." There was a look of despair and sadness in Frank's eyes, and he said slowly while smoking a cigar: "It was a complete mistake for us to provoke Donghui. Prime Minister Lines is still counting on the British and the French, who will lead our entire Australian Commonwealth into an endless abyss.

Without the support of the British, the French, the Americans, the Dutch, and the Canadians, we alone in the Australian Commonwealth, and the ten Commonwealths combined, would not have won this war. Because, our strength is not in the same heavyweight class as Donghui people at all. ”

"General, I've heard that Congress has recently set up a war commission to raise sharp questions about the war that Prime Minister Lines is pushing for, is that really the case?"

"It's true!" Lieutenant General Frank nodded and said, "Some of my old friends in China recently sent me a telegram about this matter, and he wants us to try to preserve our vitality and strive for a decent end to this war. ”

Lieutenant General Frank's answer gradually gave birth to a glimmer of hope in Major General James's eyes.

Prime Minister Lines's call to "fight the Donghui invaders to the end" can certainly inspire the fighting spirit of some Australian soldiers and civilians, but his idea has not been recognized by the vast majority of middle and senior generals in the Australian army.

The day after the outbreak of the war in East Australia, the Senate and the House of Representatives of Australia were increasingly divided over the war. By the time Lines called for the whole nation to mobilize all the people to fight to the death against Donghui, the divisions in the Congress gradually became irreconcilable. It is said that Lines's supporters and opponents are the first to make a big move in the Australian Federal Parliament.

Under pressure, the House of Councillors authorized the formation of a War Inquiry Committee to conduct a comprehensive investigation into whether the Prime Minister's Office had made hasty and faulty decisions about the Tohui War.

Perhaps, this parliamentary war investigation committee may set off a political storm in Canberra. If those politicians could realize that Australia had been betrayed by the British and French, Australia would not have won the war, and the fall of the Rains government would have been inevitable.

Hopefully this damn hopeless war will end sooner rather than later! Even if it is because of this, he can take off his military uniform and return to his hometown in Sydney to become a farmer. Major General James couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"James, we can only do our duty and do our job as a professional soldier." Frank stared at his chief of staff with blazing eyes, and said in a slow tone: "The war has happened, and whether the outcome is acceptable or not is the business of those miscellaneous politicians." We are soldiers, and the federal constitution stipulates that soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, so the outcome is not something for you and me to consider, we can only do our part and try to keep as many soldiers alive as possible.

I believe that you and I both understand now that it is not our will to fight this war with Donghui. This was imposed on us Australian soldiers by the British and French, including the Americans. They intended to test Donghui's military strength and war potential through our Australian soldiers, but they completely abandoned us at the most critical time!

James, we must live, we must let as many officers and men of the 7th Tank Division return home alive as possible! Because, someone must take responsibility for this stupid war decision, and the souls of the nearly one million innocent soldiers and civilians who died in this war need to be appeased and committed! ”

"General, the rain has stopped, and the sky has cleared!" An Australian major in a brown and yellow military uniform covered in mud ran in from outside the cave, panting.

"Inform down, let everyone pay attention to air defense! The Donghui people will attack soon! Lieutenant General Frank grabbed a steel helmet and put it on his head, grabbed a Thomson Model 1928A1 submachine gun as he spoke, and walked out calmly.

Outside the cave is a mountain-type trench connected by tunnels, many fortifications have been blown down, and many soldiers are rushing to repair them shirtless.

The mountains and highlands in this area are dangerous, and the mountain roads are rugged, and the tank mechanized troops cannot be deployed at all.

Frank scattered all the intact Matilda tanks of the 7th Tank Division, relying on the cover of mountains and rocks, into hidden mobile battery fire points.

With such equipment, such fortifications, and such tactical arrangements, if it is to deal with an infantry attack, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be firmly invincible.

"Buzz Buzz ......"

The roar of the aero engine shook the mountain again, as if the whole Stanley Mountain was trembling and trembling.
