Chapter 1500 The Future of Australia
The war situation in Australia, counting from 1915, lasted for more than a year, and as far as the southern hemisphere is concerned, it went through two winters, occupied the north before the first winter, and then advanced to the east for a whole year, and another winter passed, and then it was like getting ripe fruit, and the whole of Australia was obtained. For China www.biquge.info if it weren't for the steady and steady fight to win the whole and complete Australia, it might really be able to sweep the whole of Australia in less than a year.
Now, the fall of Sydney and other three major cities, even can not stop the Chinese army for a week, a large territory, become a part of China, this is a huge territory of 7 million square kilometers of land, at this moment, has followed the occupation army, into the city of Sydney Zhang Xiaohuai is also full of emotion, a one-time opening of 7 million square kilometers of territory, in the past era, difficult to die, even in the Qing Dynasty, but also lost the territory, but now it is so easy.
Zhang Xiaohuai spent more than a year before and after, the perfect solution to Australia's affairs, perhaps in the eyes of some people, the action is slow, but so steady and steady, like a boiled frog in warm water to kill Australia, its own casualties have been kept at a relatively low level, and, for the construction of Australia has not been delayed much, the northern and central regions have basically run through a large number of railways and highways, the southeast, itself is the most prosperous and rich place in Australia, With a little modification and repair, it can be connected into a network. A rail and road network from the North to the South East is about to take shape, and this network will largely accelerate Australia's construction in the future.
The war situation in Australia is over, although there are still all kinds of affairs to be dealt with in the future, but the Australian Front, as a large-scale dispatch force of China currently abroad, will gradually reduce the front army with a total number of more than 1.8 million people, and there is no combat mission, it is impossible to keep the field troops here for a long time, and only 500,000 mobile forces will be left in the future, but the Southern Fleet will continue to go south, stay in Australia, temporarily stationed in Darwin, and will be stationed in the Sydney area in the southeast in the future, where it is more appropriate.
The conditions of Sydney Harbour are far from being comparable to Darwin, even on Australia's huge coastline, it is also one of the best ports, plus the network of three cities, as long as Australia wants to develop in the future, Sydney is the top priority, which is also recognized by China, but for the safety of the fleet for the time being, the fleet can only be stationed in Darwin.
On the one hand, Darwin is the city that China has been operating in Australia for the longest time, from the beginning of the occupation, the port has been constantly expanding, almost all of Australia's construction resources are disembarked in Darwin, plus the Timor Sea is relatively narrow, and Timor-Leste is linked, it is easy to ensure security and reduce the possibility of being attacked.
Of course, Sydney Harbour also needs to be built, and the militarized transformation must be completed, according to the requirements of the Chinese fleet anchorage, at least there must be more than 100 large-caliber land-based artillery groups, as well as large military airports, and large-scale land-based radar stations need to be built, only after these three have been reached, the fleet can be occupied, the militarized transformation takes time, and a series of other problems, at least a year later, to take Australia, is a matter of thanks, However, there are still many problems, and before that it was only thinking about attacking Australia, even if it occupied most of Australia's territory, in the specific era of 1916, the Chinese side basically did not consider foreign attacks.
If you really take Australia as your own territory, you have to consider this problem, 1916 is a special case, the US army retreated because of huge losses, Britain has no ability to interfere outside Europe, Australia can not find other forces to help except its own strength, but then, it is different, unlike other territories of China, Australia's coastline is too long, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, there are too many places to attack, China can use the northern region as a springboard, The United States will do the same, according to the intelligence on the German side, the United States has accelerated the construction of warships, and even the Panama Canal will be put into operation at the beginning of 1917, when there will be at least more than 20 battleships, or even more, will be put into the Pacific theater, and it is difficult to say whether Hawaii or Australia will bear the brunt of the battle.
Even in a sense, Australia is easier to choose than Hawaii, Hawaii is an island, even if it covers a huge area, tens of thousands of square kilometers, but it has little effect, China does not need to be armed, as long as it holds Wake Island, this is the core of Hawaii, Wake Island is only more than 2000 square kilometers so big, such a small island, even if it can be forcibly landed, how many people can go up, compared to the cruel island landing war, Australia is much easier, after all, tens of thousands of kilometers of coastlineAs long as an opportunity is found, it can land, and as long as a few armies can be deployed, it is not impossible to liberate Australia.
Australia has not been occupied for a long time, and the people will support them when the time comes. However, such a theory is only based on the idea of the Americans, the first time China occupied Australia, most of the Australians, will move to other places, and those who stay in Australia are Chinese and a small number of naturalized or ethnic minorities, to ensure the absolute majority of the Central Plains race, counting on the people, Americans can not count on it.
China will be careful in Australia, but will not be fully fortified in Australia, 7 million square kilometers of Australia, tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline, to fortify layer by layer, even for China, is an impossible task, fortunately on the Australian side, there are not many ups and downs and mountains, more suitable for armored forces, 500,000 troops have at least 250,000 armored forces, they are the decisive force to defend Australia.
In addition to the armored force, China will also do a good job of reconnaissance, in some coastal areas, will set up radar stations, land-based radar detection range of more than 400 kilometers, with large airports, basically ensure that there are not many dead ends, with aircraft reconnaissance and radar station combined, so that even if the US military can pull out the cold landing successfully, it will be discovered in a short time, compared with the traditional manpower reconnaissance, the combination of aircraft and radar, the probability of discovery has increased a lot, for China, as long as it is not a million-scale landing, With an astonishing 500,000 field troops and 250,000 armored forces, Australia is not as easy to capture as other countries imagine.
Australia's surrender represents the surrender of a full member of the Entente, this influence is greater than that of Italy back then, no matter what, Italy's influence in Europe is not large, but Australia, which is the largest country in Oceania, has a million-dollar army fighting in Europe, after Australia was attacked, it has been reduced to 500,000, such a country, occupied by China, 7 million square kilometers of land, will become China's land, China in the process, and it will be strengthened a lot, Not only has this expanded China's territory by 7 million, but Australia also has many high-quality resources, and even some gold and silver mines are far higher than Alaska.
Fighting a war is a war, after the end of the war, it will need to be built, compared to before the war, after the end of the war, China will reduce the investment in one place, although it is said that enough troops will be stationed here, the combat mission will be greatly weakened, China will focus on the Pacific region thoroughly, relative to the construction of the land on the islands in the Pacific region, the speed of construction, it is impossible to improve on a large scale, most of the materials need to be transported by sea, not on land, As long as the people and some machinery and equipment are transported, most of the things can be self-produced, as long as they can be self-produced, even if the cost is a little higher than the mature areas of Chinese mainland, and the cost is lower than that of long-distance transportation, and the most important thing is convenience, not to occupy valuable merchant tonnage.
Australia is like this, the first to be transported, in addition to some necessary war materials, is a large number of machinery and equipment, after the first winter, a large number of factories appeared in the northern region, and then gradually spread, especially when the blast furnace of the steel plant was also erected, Australia's development has embarked on another path, now the war is over, it is conceivable that in terms of construction, it will come to the first, the situation of Australia itself, will let the resource industry blossom in Australia, of course, There is also Australian wool and meat, which Australia is blessed with.
In Yang Yuanzhao's view, in addition to using the golden finger to point out the many iron ore areas on the west side of Australia, the rest, just let it be, Australia is still dominated by cattle and sheep, can be close to the deep processing of dairy products and wool products, but will not build industry on a large scale, China already has two major industrial bases in the local and central and southern provinces, and if you add another Australia, it will produce a huge waste, China is the world's first in scale and efficiency, but local production is enough for domestic and the whole world. If you increase it further, you will definitely have an overcapacity, and in that case, you will be in trouble if there is a problem.
Australia will exist as a resource collection point and reserved area, which is also a unified view of the high-level, retaining some low-density areas and scenic areas, is the main way for Australia's development in the future, and will not be like the Central South Province, radical development of industry, although Australia has all the conditions.
