Chapter 440: The Kangaroos' Choice
"Yang, do you have to do this?"
Count Clement said with a frown.
The British government is also a headache for Australia, and Menzies is a staunch pro-British faction, even proclaiming his love for the queen in public on many occasions, although he is only for a façade. In fact, the Australian government has now become the most loyal brother of the United States, and it was the first to follow the United States people to the battlefield in the Korean War, and it also followed the pace of the United States during the Suez Canal War. But at least he did a good job of superficial work, and British public opinion was full of favor for the Australian prime minister, who always said something loyal to the queen.
Yang Feng was Britain's de facto most important ally.
If there was a war between the two of them, Britain would be in an extremely awkward position.
"My principle is very simple, they can't let the United States station troops in Australia, whether it's Darwin Port or other places, this kind of garrison can only be aimed at me, there is my back, I can tolerate the presence of US troops in my front, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the presence of US troops in my back, economic things can be discussed, but this issue is not to be discussed.
I know they feel they suffer in the iron ore business, but how much do they make from me each year in the grain and meat business?
It can be said that 80% of Australia's grain and meat are sold to me, most of Australia's farmers are living on my orders, a lot of dollars flow into Australia from me, and the Argentines are even cheaper than them, but I still ban the import of grain from South America, am I not compensating for the iron ore problem?
Are they not satisfied?
In short, my request is simple. Australia refused to garrison the United States. We will continue to be friends. Including the interests of iron ore can also be re-discussed, but then my grain and meat imports will also go according to the market, if they still want to garrison troops in the United States, then I must take measures, including forcibly stationing my troops in Australia, they do not agree that I will also be stationed, if they dare to stop it, it will mean war. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Of course, I will not seek Australian territory. You can rest assured of that. ”
Then he added.
"You won't seek Australian territory, you just need to send the Chinese over and let them seek it."
Count Clement thought to himself.
Of course, Yang Feng's strategic arrangement will not deceive these old foxes, as long as the Ming army is stationed in Australia, this position must be Western Australia, which is not even a thought about it, and then the next step must be large-scale Chinese immigration, and now the number of Chinese there has exceeded that of whites, but the vast majority of the former are employees of Huaxia Mining and have no Australian nationality.
And they live mainly in the north-west, to Port Hedland. The Newman Iron Ore Area is the core, and there is still some distance from the Swan River Basin, where white people mainly live. Because of this, the Australian government had to station a division of troops there to prevent the nearly 200,000 Chinese there from creating a state within a state, but if Yang Feng also stationed troops there, then I am afraid that as long as he wants, he can turn this into reality at any time.
"Yang, I will convey your meaning to Menzies, but we still hope that you can resolve this issue peacefully, and of course even if you end up in conflict over this, we will remain neutral."
He thought for a moment and said.
"Well, in short, when the people of the United States start to build military bases, I will do it, you can clearly tell the Australians."
Yang Feng said.
"Führer, so they will definitely prepare early."
After Count Clement left, Hu Hao reminded Führer Yang.
"I'm just going to get them ready, and then beat them, so that they know what the gap is, and let them always remember what it means to have a big arm that can't be twisted."
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
There was no suspense about the outcome of the British mediation, Australian Prime Minister Menzies refused to terminate the construction plan of the US military base on the grounds that the Ming had no right to interfere, and at the same time Australia announced that it would send two more divisions to Western Australia, and the US government urgently passed a new military aid plan, giving Australia 150 Super Sabre fighters, and the latest Super Sabre D fighter-bomber.
Previously, the Australian Air Force already had a batch of its own sabres, originally they wanted to buy chasing the wind, but Yang Feng refused to sell the production rights, coupled with the change in the relationship between the two parties, so in the end the Australians chose to produce their own sabers, and they were also improved, equipped with Rolls-Royce's Avon engine, the performance is basically equivalent to the earliest Kunpeng version of the saber, plus this batch of super sabers, the combat effectiveness can be said to have increased rapidly.
However, they also knew that even with these super sabers, they still couldn't beat Yang Feng's carrier-based aircraft, after all, even the crusaders were in the sand, let alone the super sabres that were a lot worse than the crusaders.
What they really used to deal with the Tiger Shark was the F104 Battlestar, and Eisenhower decided to give priority to the kangaroos of this fighter that the U.S. military itself has not officially equipped, but this fighter will take some time, at least early next year to be delivered, of course, this is not a big deal, anyway, after these new weapons are handed over to the Australians, they will also need enough time to get used to it.
Yang Feng said that as long as the US military base does not start construction, he will not do it, since this is the case, it will be delayed for half a year, and it will just give the Australians enough time to prepare for war.
In addition, they are also afraid of Yang Feng's nuclear bomb, even if he doesn't play with nuclear bombs, let Yinglong bombers play conventional bombing with the mother of bombs, the kangaroos can't stand it, and they must have to wait after the formation of the effective nuclear deterrent capability of the United States against the Ming Dynasty, or after the successful test launch of their Cosmic God intercontinental missile, with the ability to nuclear level, otherwise the kangaroos are worried after all, after all, this kind of cutter is easy to get hot-headed.
In addition, the United States also presented 400 of the latest M48A3 tanks to the kangaroos, which is different from the A3 in the original history, this tank uses the 105 guns produced by the United States from the Ming Dynasty, although the performance is worse than that of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no problem in penetrating the front of the Leopard tank, so that the kangaroos also have the ability to resist the Ming army's armored forces on land.
Of course, this is only the main weapon, not to mention the other messy artillery, tanks, and missiles, Eisenhower is as excited as a chicken at this time, wishing to give every Australian a gun, and then let them drag Yang Feng to death with their lives!
He even gave the Australians a squadron of B47 bombers, so that the kangaroos have the ability to directly bomb the Ming mainland, and then the naval weapons provided the Australians with six Thorntail-class submarines, a total of six submarines of this type, packed together for the kangaroos. As for the surface warships, they don't, they also know that it is useless to give the kangaroos surface warships, after all, even the aircraft carrier fleet of the United States is also useless against the Ming fleet, and the Australian Navy itself also has a certain strength, for example, they still have two aircraft carriers!
"No matter how much garbage there is, it's garbage."
Yang Feng said disdainfully.
He just wants the Australians to make sufficient preparations, and then the first war completely knocks them back to the prototype, the more weapons the Americans give them, the worse they lose in the end, and the more brilliant the results of the Ming army, anyway, whether it is the Melbourne aircraft carrier or the Sydney aircraft carrier, or the Super Sabre fighter, or even the conventional submarine, it is garbage for him, and this time he is just going to use kangaroos to train his troops.
So far, the Ming army has not really fought a large-scale war with the white army, especially the war on land, whether it is with the United States or the Soviet Union, it is a sea battle, and the land mainly fights the Tianzhu people, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the latter. But the kangaroos are very famous for their combat effectiveness, whether it is World War I or World War II, they are the main force of the British Commonwealth, and even on the battlefield of Goryeo, it is also the most important thing that the coalition forces can fight, and the Japanese army in World War II has also fought a real bloody battle on the island of New Guinea, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the American army.
Such an army is worthy of being a sparring partner for the Ming army, always bullying those weak and small is not interesting for the growth of the Ming army, as for the final loss, it is not worth mentioning, as long as you can grab Western Australia, the casualties of tens of thousands of people are completely worth it, that is a real treasure trove of resources, the metal resources that the Ming Dynasty currently consumes most, almost can be found there, not to mention other light iron and aluminum, it is worth a big war for this.
Lao Pan across from him looked at him with a smile, and it was clear that the dog-eat-dog between the empire and the righteous made them very happy.
"You said you agreed?"
Yang Feng put down his hand and said.
"Your Excellency, we cannot guarantee the issue of numbers, nor can we ask our people to leave their homeland, but we will not prohibit those who will."
Lao Pan said.
"That's agreed."
Yang Feng ignored his modifiers and said directly.
Old Pan Moran, they can't disagree, if you want to industrialize, you must have funds, and everything the Soviets provide requires money, it is an oil field with an annual output of more than 10 million tons, even if the current oil price is 1.4 US dollars a barrel, it is hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange a year.
"So be it, then, I will send ships to your ports, and all those who will come to me will be transported by you to these ports, but you must not mix in with those I don't want, and if there are any full people or other flag men, I will throw them back to you. When the number of people reaches 500,000, I will tell you the location of the oil fields, and as last time, I will send you an exploration team until a productive well is drilled for you, and in the meantime you will have to continue to give me people until you don't want to give me any more. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Ah, one more thing, I don't have to give it to the people on this list, I won't want them."
Then he picked up a notebook and threw it to Lao Pan. (To be continued.) )
