readx; Fighting a country like Australia would have been a breeze for the Chinese Empire, and although Australia had been studying for decades, its army was not large, and most of them were only stationed in places with large populations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In other places, some symbolically send a few troops, while others are lazy to garrison, and the unique geographical location makes them not know what invasion is.

In fact, it is precisely like this, there was indeed a war in Australia in history, but it has not happened so far, and the so-called war is just a small-scale attack on Australia, and then it was driven out of Australia by the US military.

Needless to say, the U.S. military regards Australia as their backyard, and many of the troops sent to South Asia first go to Australia to recuperate, and then put them on the battlefield, or the troops withdrawn from the battlefield are placed in Australia for recuperation.

In short, so far Australia has not enjoyed the taste of war, coupled with the backwardness of the military industry, the troops have not been able to come up with any decent equipment at all, so when the Chinese Empire attacked, it did not encounter any decent resistance.

Australia, a huge country with the sixth largest territory in the world, is not as fierce as the Philippines, especially on the first night of the attack, when the Imperial Chinese Army surrounded it, many soldiers did not react to what was going on.

When the police went to work the next day, they found that the police station had been occupied, and these policemen who went to work could be regarded as self-contained, and they were tightly controlled as soon as they appeared.

Canberra, located 238 kilometers south of Sydney and 507 kilometers north of Melbourne, has now become the capital of Australia for more than 10 years, in 1911 the Australian Federal Government passed the resolution to move the capital here, and in 1912 began to collect planning opinions, in 1913 in more than 100 proposals, selected today's one, that is, the famous American landscape architect, Chicago Walter. Bury. Griffin's scheme.

But after a halt in the First World War, the capital took 14 years of construction before it was finally completed in 1927 and the capital was moved there.

Although Australia is proficient, its relationship with Britain is still very close, similar to the later "one country, two systems", Australia and Britain have agreed on the supreme leader, that is, the monarch of the United Kingdom.

And the British monarch appoints the prime minister, and the prime minister nominates the governor general, but since 1930, when the United Kingdom determined the self-governing reading territory of Australia, as long as the prime minister is submitted, the British monarch will basically pass it directly.

And this term of Australia's Prime Minister is Menzies, and the Governor General is Alexander? Gore? While the Prime Minister is generally based in the capital Canberra, the Governor has two official residences, one in Canberra and the other in Sydney.

At this time, after the Chinese Imperial Army landed, according to the information learned before, a group of soldiers went directly to the Admiral's Mansion on the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Unfortunately, only a handful of British soldiers were stationed here, and the Governor was not among them.

At the same time, the Marines had landed in the two seaport cities of Milton and Batemansby and were heading at full speed for Canberra, the capital of Australia.

It was a surprise battle, and they didn't need to occupy too many places at first, and if they could control Sydney, Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities, overnight, and then take control of the capital city of Canberra, the impact would be absolutely huge.

Milton is about 100 kilometers away from Canberra, and Bartmansbay is only about 80 kilometers away from Canberra.

"Regiment commander, Canberra has at least one regiment of guards, if you attack it, I'm afraid it will let the big fish run away, and at the moment our forces are not enough to surround Canberra."

After hearing about the situation ahead, the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment of the 1st Marine Division frowned and spoke.

Their mission was to take Canberra and control everyone in the Governor's and Prime Minister's mansions, as they had no prior knowledge of whether there were any big fish in them, or even the whereabouts of the two theoretical supreme leaders.

"It is impossible to guarantee that not one person will be able to run out even if we pull our entire 1st Marine Division over." ”

The regiment commander Song Qian took the battle map from the guards, looked at it roughly, and said.

Due to the lack of preparation before the attack, the troops of the Chinese Empire did not have a complete map of Australia in their hands, and they did not know where the map in their hands came from.

No matter who commands the army, there is no guarantee that a city can be besieged to death, and it is a city that does not know anything, although the scale is not large, but it is full of unknowns.

"Where is the 359th Regiment?"

Immediately after, Song Qian continued to ask.

"They estimate that there are still 10 kilometers to go, and there are many mountain roads there, so it is not too convenient to walk."

The chief of staff said directly, when they stopped just now, he went to contact the 359th Regiment, so the approximate location of the 359th Regiment was still very clear.

Although the 359th Regiment landed from Batmansby, the distance was about 20 kilometers shorter than theirs, but there were too many mountain roads, and if they didn't want to climb over the past, they could only make a detour, so no matter what, they would delay a little time on the road, and the 358th Regiment, which was far away, was only a little difficult to walk on when it first landed, and there was no more difficult mountain road behind it.

"Ten kilometers will take at least an hour, or even more, and it will be dawn after an hour, I can't wait, so I will send a company to sneak in first, guard the Governor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Palace, and don't let anyone come out, if there is anything abnormal, don't worry about it, and attack directly."

Song Qian looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock now, and the sky here was bright early, if he didn't take action in time, God knows what accidents would happen.

If you don't ask, you only need to take this city, one battalion of marines is enough, but now they need to catch two big guys, so they will send two regiments to take this projectile land, Song Qian knows the importance of the task, so he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

Liang Shuicheng and his company were ordered to sneak into the city of Canberra quietly, fortunately, this city is not too big, otherwise for them without any information, they will get lost sooner or later.

Half an hour after entering the city, and having been almost spotted by the enemy, they finally found the Governor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Palace, and divided a company into two groups of troops, and surrounded the two official residences to death.

The big fish, which should have been still sleeping, didn't seem to be sleeping at the moment, one of the official residences was dark, while the other was brightly lit, and there were many figures walking back and forth in it, as if there was some emergency.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Governor, something is wrong, someone just reported that they had spotted a group of unidentified soldiers in Quambien an hour ago, and they were heading in the direction of Canberra."

An officer walked up to the two bigwigs with a telegram with a panicked face and reported in disbelief.

"What? Go and ask what the hell is going on? ”

Prime Minister Menzies put down the cigar in his hand and asked with a frown.

And the governor on the side also trembled suddenly, unable to understand the reason for the matter. At about nine o'clock last night, they received the news that an unknown army was attacking Sydney, and the Governor went directly to the Prime Minister's Office to discuss, but the two discussed for a night without coming up with a reason.

They were also disappointed by the response from the British, who were at a critical juncture and did not have the extra forces to help Australia, and the British hoped that they could mobilize the native Australian population to resist the invaders.

After receiving this telegram, the faces of the two men were as silent as ashes. They also knew a little bit about the situation on the British side, and the British Army would definitely not be able to move, because the Germans could attack it at any time. And the powerful British navy also needed to be on constant alert to prevent the Germans from landing.

Since then, some of the main warships of the Asian fleet, which should have patrolled Australia regularly, have also been transferred back, leaving only a group of old warships, and the most painful thing is that these warships are being resupplied in India at this time, and will stay there for half a month, and then come to Australia on a detour.

At present, the defense force of the whole of Australia is even smaller, and there is only one division of the British Army in a large part of the territory, which is still scattered in various regions, and many places are responsible for the security of the police department, and it is simply not enough to fight a war.

And recruiting local soldiers, this seems to always be the most troublesome thing for Australia's political axe, not only to maintain economic growth, but also to ensure the security of the homeland, the aborigines and those foreigners they are not at ease, so the number of troops is small.

In the 21st century, Australia's economy is already considered a developed region, but Australia has only 55,000 troops in the navy, land and air force, and even released posters for overseas recruitment, giving the benefit of providing a fast path to naturalization.

This shows the extent of Australia's military shortage, of course, there are some other effects, according to Australia's population base, it is impossible to have an army of only 55,000 people so cold. But it's true that many people don't want to join the army anyway.

"Your Excellency, the news has been confirmed, and just now another resident found a large number of unknown soldiers passing by when he was going to the toilet, and the destination is Canberra."

The officer who had just left turned and walked in again, but this time his expression was a little panicked.

"Oh, it looks like it's not safe here, Ruswen, I think we need to change places to chat."

Menzies's heart suddenly moved, but there was nothing unusual on the surface.

As Australia's top leader, if he panicked at this time, what should he do next? So Menzies had to force himself to pretend to be calm, as if nothing had happened, and invited Ruswen to change places with him.

"Well, I think we can go to my manor to relax, it's remote and not easy to be disturbed, I think it will be very suitable for us."

Where did Ruswen not know what Menzies meant? hurriedly found a place for him to go, and at the same time covered up the embarrassment of their evacuation, and externally they could claim that the two of them were not in Canberra at the time of the incident, so that public opinion from the outside world would not point to them.

"Company commander, the people inside seem to be running."

"Sniper, take out the soldiers at the door and beat them back." (To be continued.) )
