Darwin was originally an aboriginal settlement, is an important area of the northern city, in later generations, in the 70s of the 19th century, after the discovery of gold mines, was taken back from the aborigines by the Australian government, and since then it has developed, and the city was established in 1911, which can be said to be a very new type of city, with a relatively complete harbor and urban zoning.

As the biggest target of the attack, China has never let go of Darwin's intelligence gathering work, with at least 40 intelligence officers in Darwin, and almost 3,000 people living in Darwin's Chinatown.

Because it is the closest to Southeast Asia, the history of the Chinese entering Darwin can be traced back to more than 400 years ago, almost the same as the time when the Chinese went to Nanyang, especially after the discovery of gold mines, the number of Chinese surged, not that the Chinese wanted to find gold mines in order to make a fortune, the labor intensity of gold mines was relatively large, and the natives and Nanyang people were not suitable as workers, only hard-working Chinese.

It is precisely because of the hardships and hard work of the Chinese that Darwin's recent situation is very well excavated, and the Chinese have also been given preferential treatment because of their hard work, and Darwin specially built Chinatown, a Chinese settlement, although in the suburbs of Darwin, even the houses are dilapidated, but it has become the basis for the Chinese to enter and collect intelligence.

That's how 3,000 Chinese came, those intelligence officers, also through the cover of Chinatown, entered Darwin, and sent Darwin's intelligence to East Timor in a steady stream, in China's intelligence, the current urban population is about 100,000, most of them are white, a small number of indigenous high-rises, and the port can only berth 3000-ton ships, and the berths are not too many, only these, it is enough, 3000-ton ships, can dock in the port, It is enough to allow the army to land in a steady stream, for landing operations, beach-grabbing and landing on the beach and occupying the port to land, these are two completely different methods, although the mobile dock can play a role, but the effectiveness of the landing is completely different, China's army has always cost a lot, and the pressure on logistics is huge, this time the transfer to Australia is only 300,000, but the logistics pressure is almost more than five times that of the US military transferred to Europe, this is a huge gap.

In this case, in the choice of landing, you can't choose casually, you must choose a place that has a certain bearing capacity and can berth a certain level of merchant ships, Darwin is such a choice, the capital of the Northland region, has not been established for a long time, because it is separated from the middle of the entire Oceania, there is not much defense force.

Responsible for the Australian strategy, is Zhang Xiaohuai, as one of the early Chinese Army high-level, Lu Shi Sanjie's Zhang Xiaohuai is actually not obvious for a long time, in terms of military exploits, he is not as good as the first general Cai Yi, training personnel, he is not as good as Jiang Baili, and even after entering Yan Xishan, he has surpassed him, but he has steadily completed all the combat tasks assigned to him, and even in the stability of the task, compared to Cai Yi, it is not much better, and now, China has joined the ranks of the world war, There are many aspects that need to be faced, and Zhang Xiaohuai must be alone.

In the eyes of Yang Yuanzhao and Feng Yuxiang, Australia, which has lost too much blood, cannot make any big waves, but Australia's land area has become a must be careful with the Chinese army, conquering Siberia, China has mobilized at least more than 2 million troops, and even exceeded 3 million at the peak, so it is safe to take Siberia in its hands, although this is more due to the fact that Russia has sent an army of nearly 10 million, But millions of square kilometers of apprentices are millions of square kilometers of land, and hundreds of thousands of people are sprinkled into it, and there is really no bubble at all, even if there are more than a million people, what can they do.

Australia and China are far apart, even if there is Southeast Asia in the middle, the supply route needed is not segmented, and it is impossible to put a million troops up at the first time, so it is necessary to find a steady person, steady and steady, so as to be able to achieve a complete victory, in the middle, who else has higher qualifications and strength than Zhang Xiaohuai.

6 months of preparation, Timor-Leste, concentrated a large number of materials, 300,000 troops as early as 4 months ago, has been in place, Zhang Xiaohuai carefully in the drill of them, Australia and China are completely different places, Timor-Leste, although it can not completely replace Australia's environment, instead of doing adaptive training can still be, the facts have proved that Zhang Xiaohuai is correct, but really not adaptable, the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere, coupled with the relationship between heat and humidity, if not the Chinese side, in the medical area attaches great importance to this areaThe 300,000 people were not only equipped with standard medical personnel, but also added a regional-level medical team for Timor-Leste.

The intelligence collection is almost complete, the transportation volume and escort force are also in place, and even the soldiers in their hands have undergone relatively strict training, reaching the level of Zhang Xiaohuai's satisfaction, and the next step is to choose a zodiac auspicious day to send troops, Zhang Xiaohuai is already preparing, and the time is not too far away.

Zhang Xiaohuai on the side of East Timor, commanding 300,000 troops, is gearing up, but on the other side of Australia, no one knows, although Australia is one of the countries of the Commonwealth at this time, and at the first moment when Britain declared war on Germany, the entire Commonwealth of countries declared war on the right.

The vassal states of Britain include, British Australia, British Canada, British India, British New Zealand, British Newfoundland, British South Africa, they are all members of the British Commonwealth, de jure, they are one with Britain, in the case of Britain declaring war on someone, they will also follow the declaration of war, as if it were a routine practice, which saves the problem of declaring war and legal theory, and when both sides declare war, then there is no problem in attacking them.

Lan Fang has already joined the camp of the allies, but to Australia, Lan Fang is still far away from them, yes, it is very far, if from the perspective of Sydney, it is really not close, Lan Fang's capital is in Borneo, Australia's capital is in Canberra, neither of them is on the border between the two sides, from Borneo to Canberra, Australia is too far away, but Australia does not realize that compared to the Australian continent, it is really not far, to put it bluntly, Australia's personnel are too small, They hadn't formed a whole concept yet, and they weren't even very alert, a member of the Allied Powers was right next to them, but they bypassed him and rushed all the way to Europe to participate in the war, of course, Lan Fang didn't join the Allied camp at first.

Zhang Xiaohuai has chosen several times, the date of sending troops is set on March 17, 1916, for China, spring has just arrived, and even in some provinces, there is still some cold spring, occasionally, there will be a series of windy cooling weather, for Australia, the end of the official summer, the autumn day is coming, this day is the best day of the war.

Although the time is a little rushed, but before the arrival of winter, China never thought that it could occupy the whole of Australia, a large country of 7 million square kilometers, in a few months, even if the other side has no resistance, it is an impossible task, they are just a vanguard force, occupy Darwin, and expand enough space, establish a solid base, the real battle, until next year.

Anyway, Australia is too close to Asia, and the United States, the United Kingdom is far enough away, plus the Panama Canal, the United States can interfere in the place to be eliminated, from the United States to Australia, must bypass the entire South America, so that there may be support will also be greatly reduced, as far as the current United States, is still **** wounds, Wall Street losses are brewing, Panama's losses are also intensifying, the combination of the two, the United States is also sad.

For China, even if the United States joins, it doesn't matter, who is the Chinese Army afraid of, even if it is Russia, which is the title of European steamroller, is in front of the Chinese Army, it will be defeated, what is the role of the United States, or even the support of Britain, maybe, cause turmoil in the whole of Europe, Germany directly occupies the advantage, and completely drives the Entente army out of the Nordic continent, so that there is no need to fight next.

As far as its own ideas are concerned, China prefers that Europe continues, Australia is a good place, Australians and British, there are not enough manpower, not to develop everything he has, but to China is different, there is always enough industrial capacity and development capacity, his treasures are developed, whether it is iron ore, or all kinds of resources, even prairies and cattle and sheep, will become a new growth point of China's economy, this, Yang Yuanzhao is convinced, he is more complementary to China.

Once Australia and the whole of Oceania are taken, the land requirements will be greatly weakened, whether it is to Africa, Central Asia, or even the Americas, they are too far apart, maybe distant Alaska, acceptable, where the resources are rich, like Siberia, is a place where humans rarely go, the resources are relatively rich, but that is for mobile phone resources, and it is considered to have a fixed foothold in the Americas, other places, forget it, take the current territory, at least within 200 years, China does not have to worry about the problems of its territory, and a larger territory will bring many problems, and Yang Yuanzhao is seeking the foundation of everything, not like Meng Yuan, who laid a huge territory out of thin air, but it quickly fell apart.

Stabilizing the existing land, coupled with Australia, a country on a minecart, is enough to give China the foundation of a superpower, and then, unless it is to unify the world, there is no other thing to pursue these things. (To be continued.) )
