Chapter 1446: Defending the Southeast

After occupying most of the northern region, China stopped, not encountered tough resistance, but after occupying the initiative, it shrank back, such a situation, let Australia have always been worried about the mentality of letting go, they have been worried that the Chinese will keep fighting, the Chinese are too fast, only a few days, 500 kilometers across the country, the northern region is not many people, there are 700,000, the number of troops is also small 50,000, look at their speed, the Australian army is afraid to rush through it, Not to mention that there is still a war, if the other side continues, 1000 kilometers, or 1500 kilometers, it will be able to threaten the central part of Australia, and maybe the situation in the whole of Australia will collapse, it is good to stop, at least give them time, time to prepare.

As long as there are enough recruits, they will build a solid defense line in the central region, with the core area as the center, to resist China's attack, when the time comes, behind them is Sydney and other places, there is no problem of logistics supply, but for the Chinese side, not only to cross the long sea route, but also to cross thousands of kilometers of the Australian mainland, which is a huge pressure on logistics.

Next, China's actions made Australia a little desperate, because the other side is obvious, not like an ordinary winner, just grab a handful and leave, is constantly increasing strength, 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 800,000, with more and more garrisons, even Australia is panicking, the northern region is not very important, but more than 90,000 square kilometers of the northern region, completely lost from the territory, this is also a serious matter, not to mention that the Chinese side has not stopped attacking.

After all, the northern region is Australia's territory, Australia has inextricable links here, some things that are too secret, Australia can't know, these people have no professional intelligence education, it is unlikely to spy on more important intelligence, the number of troops and China's strength, they can figure it out, China can block Darwin's cable telegraph, but the Australians get the intelligence, send 200 kilometers and there will be a line.

It is impossible for China to turn the entire Northland into a concentration camp, pull up barbed wire, prohibit all personnel from going out, they can only guard the army, prohibit locals from going out, and more, there is no way to do it, and even the control of intelligence is not to a strict degree, after all, the distance is huge, and it is impossible for Australia to send troops in a short period of time, even if they know something, what is the problem.

The Chinese's measures almost scared Australia to pee, I thought that the Chinese, after crossing the ocean, just sent a partial division, they have no foundation, no foundation, and soon they can use Australia's huge territory to disperse their forces, perhaps, without hitting the core area, they first lost their sharpness and became the end of a strong crossbow, but looking at the other party, hundreds of thousands, or even directly to more than 1 million, this is clear, it is going to fight a big battle, now it is only the northland, when the northland is stable, It will gradually move to the central region, and even to the southeast coast.

China's actions made Australia's top brass suddenly think of the southeast coast, will this part be just a partial division, a partial division that attracts Australia's attention, a huge territory, super strategic depth, will be their reliance, if from Darwin's side, it will take a year or two to say the least, but if this is a partial division, China is waiting for the opportunity to attack the southeast coast, once it attacks the core area of the three major cities, Australia will be finished.

The more the Australian top brass thinks about it, the more correct it feels, otherwise there is no way to explain why, the other side will choose Darwin as a breakthrough, China is stronger than Australia, but Australia is a local defense, to make good use of Australia's huge strategic depth, what they need to do now is to wait, wait for the Chinese to attack, but there is a premise, the southeast coast must be protected, do not be broken by the Chinese.

China is too powerful, especially the emperor level, he turned around the American coastline, and the United States was all over the place, even Wall Street and the Panama Canal were killed, Australia does not dare to guarantee, if the emperor level comes, he will definitely be able to resist, you know, just got the news, China's emperor level did not turn from the Cape of Good Hope to return to China as expected, that is the road when they came, it stands to reason that it should be familiar with the road, and there will be no problems going back, The Entente Asian Fleet, under the frantic attack of the Scheer fleet, there are not many cutting-edge warships, even if the tonnage exceeds the Emperor class, it is impossible to threaten the Emperor class, and it should be safer to come back from there.

According to the information received by the Entente through the route, China did not pass through the Cape of Good Hope in South America, but through Cape Horn, and he was preparing to bypass South America and return home from the Pacific Ocean. For the Entente, it didn't matter much where they returned from, as long as they left. Since the emperor class left North America, the United States has no way to stop it, just kidding, the emperor class has a huge advantage in North America, 12 battleships, all under the strong combat power of the emperor class, have lost Changsha, how many more to send, 24, 36, not to mention no, even if there is, it is impossible for Britain to allow the capital ships to come over again.

The departure of the Emperor class represents the end of the crazy offensive started by Chinese warships in Europe and the United States, for the time being, the United States and Britain do not have to worry about the repetition of the Chinese fleet, for Australia, it will be hard, from the Cape of Good Hope, even if it comes to Australia, it will be in the direction of Darwin, in order to increase the strength of the Chinese fleet, but from Cape Horn, across the Pacific Ocean is Australia, what is the Emperor class doing here, bypassing Cape Horn, along the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, all the way to Australia, If the opponent turns around on the southeast coast of Australia and uses the emperor's incomparably powerful attack power, Australia will not be able to stop it.

Although Australia has 7 million square kilometers of land, it seems that it is not much less than that of the United States, but Australia is different from the United States, most of Australia's big cities are by the sea, unlike the prosperity of the United States.

There is no way, they still want to ask for help from the suzerain, Australia has asked for help once before, at that time Britain had no way, China is close to Australia, and it has already attacked, even if Britain is so powerful, it is beyond the reach of the whip, Britain's strength lies in his strong navy, with the ability to launch the world in an era, with the help of the ocean, can attack all the places that meet with the sea, this ability will take time to come, not to mention the current period of war, most of Britain's strength, They were all dragged in Europe, and it was impossible to come to Australia, which was really beyond the reach of the whip, so last time, Britain did not express its position, and did not even have any support, and let Australia resist China on its own.

This time, however, the question was not to ask Australia for support from the British, but only to ask how Australia's southeastern seaports would be defended if the Emperor came to attack. It's just the defense of the harbor, and the British really have a way, and the way is that when the emperor attacked the United States, he came up with it, and the emperor-level attack at that time, Wall Street and the east coast of the United States, the whole of the British people were taken aback, and the territory of the British Isles could not withstand such a random attack by the emperor.

Britain is a naval power, after a little thought, I thought of a move, killing three thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but the move is useful, a large number of mines, the more the better, their own ports are blocked, it is not easy to get in and out, this is a big problem, but compared with the seaport was attacked, or the mines have a role, in fact, after the United States laid mines, the real effect, after the Americans arranged, the emperor no longer raged the United States, ran to bully Panama, although Panama won the victory, the American ports were saved, As for the European side, the Germans, who had just been reminded by the emperor's brilliant reminder, took the risk of sending the emperor out in order to take advantage of Britain, who had more important seaports than the United States, and if they could kill one or two of the military ports of the Entente countries across the strait, they would really wake up laughing.

However, the British decisive minelaying was still a large number, almost arranged along the English Channel, and even some of the early arrangements flowed along the English Channel to the North Sea, after receiving the news of the reconnaissance formation, the Scheer troops, who had just been dispatched and were full of confidence, immediately retracted, joking, the mine is cheap, but it is also powerful, a huge mine, kill a battleship, this is not a problem, even if it is a thousand, one of them works, and the British side earns, But the Germans could not afford to pay, and if one was sunk by a mine, it would break its bones and bones, so even the battleships that Germany harassed Britain were gone, and they did not achieve any results, and went back in disgrace.

This is a small problem, in the telegram, casually said, things are made clear, Australia is like a treasure, as long as it can keep the triangle of Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's basic plate is still there, as for the issue of going to sea, in the face of China's direct threat, these are secondary.

Like the United States, after Australia got the reminder from the United Kingdom, it began to arrange all kinds of mines crazily, big and small, long and short, anyway, as long as it can be arranged, all spare no effort to arrange it, for Australia, they have no coastal defense, even if it is a little better on the Sydney side, it is not as good as New York, and even the kind of place in New York can't stop the emperor level, they don't fortify in advance, how can they get it, fortunately, the emperor level has just passed through Cape Horn, and there will be a period of time to come over, enough for them to arrangeAs long as these are arranged, their southeast coast is impregnable.
