Although his own intelligence indirectly led the commander to decide to bomb Adelaide, killing thousands of his fellow whites, Hans felt quite guilty. But after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that the strength of the Red Guard Force was no longer something that the federal government could resist, and forcing the Federation to surrender as soon as possible might be the best way for his compatriots to reduce casualties and stay away from the war as soon as possible.

Therefore, Hans, who was silent for a long time after receiving the casualties of the Adelaide bombing, still resolutely pointed out at the military meeting that Broken Hill's mineral income is a lot of reliance on New Wales, and the occupation of the silver capital can allow Sydney's MPs to increase the pressure on Canberra.

Hearing the two words Yindu, Zhong Yi reacted even more than Jiang Yunzhi, although the construction scope of the sub-base cannot reach the east coast region, but controlling Yindu and hitting the economy of the federation is a good suggestion, not to mention, there is a direct railway, and the ore is used back to Uerdi by train, which is another income! The Navy Yard building is about to be activated, and we'll never be too lazy.

The plan has changed, the third regiment and the first brigade of the guard team as a reserve are about to go up, Xiao Guoxing has long been jealous of Jiang Yunzhi's second regiment's thousand-mile leap forward, but the third regiment is not a pure armored force, and there is still a gap with the second regiment in terms of mobility. But this time the 2nd Regiment went to Broken Hill, and it should be our 3rd Regiment to attack Adelaide. Unexpectedly, after the final task was arranged, the third regiment remained in place, staying in Uerdi as the general reserve, and the good thing was Hans's first brigade. This made Commander Xiao very embarrassed, when did our Red Police Force not compare to the Guards? But when he questioned the commander, he really didn't have the guts.

Depressed as he watched the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Guard Brigade in dark green uniforms boarding the car and setting out for the battle, he suddenly heard someone running behind him, "Report to the regiment commander, the commander wants you to go to the air force headquarters for a meeting now." ”

I grabbed a jeep on the platform and rushed to the headquarters of the Air Force Airport, where the ground crew was very busy and were hurrying to load bombs for the H-5. Xiao Guoxing was shocked, looking at this, he had to have an urgent combat mission! Sure enough, as soon as he entered the command room, Lieutenant Colonel Yun Jiu, the acting head of the flying regiment, handed over a telegram, Xiao Guoxing took it with a little surprise, and there was only one line on the telegram: The British expeditionary fleet has arrived in Sydney.

This...... No wonder the commander shouted to himself so urgently, and glanced at the commander who was standing in front of the large map of Australia on the wall with his hands behind his back, his face was sinking like water, Xiao Guoxing wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. The command room became silent, and the three of them understood that the critical moment that would decide the fate of the Red Police Force had arrived!

Zhong Yi's heart is not as calm as he seems. In his plan, the British army should not arrive so quickly, as long as they can quickly carry out the South Australian strategy, at most advance to Melbourne, and the number of people in the occupation area required for this promotion mission will be about the same. When there is a navy, plus the shore-based Jian-5 and H-5, the British fleet will have a good chance of winning a decisive battle with the old battleships of the British fleet during World War I. But now the British fleet, which was supposed to take three months to reach the east coast of Australia, has arrived in less than a month, which greatly disrupts Zhong Yi's plan. The absence of a navy meant that there was no way to prevent the British from landing, and the British fleet could cover the army's troop carriers to launch an attack at any coastal location, or even ...... Perth.

Even if the federal government had asked their British mother for help when they were attacking Kalgoorlie, and even if the British military department had reacted immediately, they would not have been able to send a fleet out of Australia so quickly! Where the hell did this British fleet come from? Zhong Yi stared at the map, thinking about it all the time.

Where is the closest place to Australia? Zhong Yi's eyes turned to the South China Sea, among the islands in Southeast Asia, Malaya and Singapore were colonies of the British Empire, and it seems that on the day of the outbreak of the Pacific War, the little devil navy attacked Pearl Harbor at the same time, and annihilated a British Far East Fleet in that area, and that fleet was stationed in Singapore. Zhong Yi poked his finger fiercely at the projectile that could barely see the location on the map.

As Chung had guessed, the fleet that came to Sydney did come from Singapore's Changi Naval Base, but what Chung didn't know was that Singapore's naval base had the world's largest shipyard and stored oil depots that could support the entire British Imperial Navy for six months. However, there were no warships at this naval base, and the later Z Fleet, led by the Prince of Wales, only arrived in the Far East in December 1941, and was sunk by the Japanese 22nd Air Wing in Malay waters a few days later.

This fleet that came to Australia was not the Far Eastern Fleet, this was the Mediterranean Fleet sent to the Far East for a "vacation".

In the face of the increasingly tense situation in Europe, Britain adopted a policy of appeasement and signed the "Anglo-German Naval Agreement" with the German mustache who was already in power in June this year, legally lifting the restrictions on the armament of the German navy in the "Versailles Treaty" and legitimizing Germany's rearmament.

In order not to overstimulate Germany, Britain sent part of the main warships of the Mediterranean Fleet to the Far East at the beginning of this year, and it happened that shortly after the fleet arrived in Singapore, Baldwin, who had just become British Prime Minister again, received a request for help from Canberra. As one of the two most important overseas Dominions of the United Kingdom, it was the duty of the British Empire to rescue Australia, and even Edward VIII, who was struggling with the American widow Mrs. Simpson, took time to pay attention to Australia. With the support of the British King and the Prime Minister, the Secretary of the Navy immediately ordered the Mediterranean Squadron, which was on "vacation" in Singapore, to escort the 11th and 9th Divisions of the British Army's Third Army, which had been transferred from Malaysia, to Australia to assist the Federal Government of Canberra in eliminating the evil army that had suddenly emerged.

This Mediterranean squadron has two battleships, namely the Queen Elizabeth-class Malaya and the monarch-class Royal Oak, both of which are veterans of World War I, but after modern refits, they are still the main warships of the Royal Navy. There is also an aircraft carrier, two heavy cruisers, and one light cruiser in the fleet, of which the aircraft carrier is the Athletic God carrying Swordfish carrier-based aircraft. In addition, there were more than a dozen destroyers of slightly smaller tonnage, escorting more than thirty troop carriers carrying two divisions of the British Army, through New Guinea, across the Coral Sea, to Sydney.

The news was transmitted back to Perth by the Smolgon family commercial spies sent on the east coast, and Hebar immediately sent a telegram to the commander, which was the telegram that Xiao Guoxing saw. In addition, Hebar has already gone to Sydney in person, and detailed information will come later.

Finally, Zhong Yi turned his head, Xiao Guoxing and Yun Jiu were already overwhelmed by the silence in the conference room. Zhong Yi smiled slightly, "Guoxing, Yunjiu, don't worry. Isn't a decisive battle with the British army exactly what we are looking forward to? ”
