Chapter 45: The Peaceful Liberation of Perth
"Male entanglement, high spirit, across the Swan River, for peace, love Perth, is to protect the hometown. Good sons and daughters of all ethnic groups, unite together, be brave and fearless, and defeat all ambitious wolves. Majestic ......"
A week after the negotiations at the town hall ended, the Red Alert soldiers of the 1st Panzer Regiment had already appeared on Swan Street, and the loud military songs even drowned out the rumbling of tank engines.
The meeting at City Hall was a friendly negotiation and a successful exchange that laid the foundation for the future prosperity of Western Australia and was a model for inter-ethnic exchange and cooperation in building a pluralistic society.
The peaceful liberation of Perth opened a good opportunity for Zhong Yi and the Red Police to integrate into Australia. Brigadier General Lieberman also led the division to lay down its arms and accept a peaceful reorganization, which was being organized by Colonel Hebar, chief of staff of the National Guard. Former WA Governor Wilson was retained because of his good performance in the town hall negotiations, but his name was changed from governor to mayor of Perth. A regiment of the Guard, under the command of Brigadier General Hans, took over the small cities around Perth, and the basic principle was that as long as the local government obeyed the orders of the Perth City Council, it would remain as it was, and that it would continue to do whatever it should. The Red Police Corps, which is dominated by soldiers, does not have so many political talents, and Zhong Yi does not have that much time to really engage in any appointment and selection for the time being, and the administrative affairs of Perth are fully handed over to Smolgon and Luke, and there is no doubt about the use of people, and there is no need for suspicious people, of course, as long as there is the deterrence of the army and the powerful Red Police Force, the two old men are smart people. As for Wilson, Zhong Yi's first task to the mayor was to visit China. Aren't you going to build a textile factory? Aren't you going to call in a great crowd of women weavers? Go to China to call, not only to call female workers, but also to drag the family, not stupid and crippled, we all want. Playing industry, no one can do it? How many workers does a motor city need? It just so happened that there was a food shortage in China, coupled with the civil war, and there were more unemployed workers and farmers fleeing the famine. To this end, Zhong Yi handed over all the Australian dollars and British pounds to Wilson from the Perth Department of Finance to exchange them for Chinese fiat currency or the ocean, as long as he can summon people, don't be afraid to spend money. There is another sentence that has not been said, this money is useless if it is not spent, and it will be invalid anyway.
In this regard, Zhong Yi has no sense of guilt, just like he shamelessly plagiarized the military songs of the volunteer army in later generations, anyway, with Zhong Yi and the Red Police Corps in this world, will there be another Korean War.
The second armored regiment and the third mechanized infantry regiment have been formed, the regiment commanders are Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Yunzhi and Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Guoxing, the third regiment commander Xiao Guoxing is also one of the surprises of this conscription, although the special skills he has are not growable, but it is an absolute counterpart of the artillery class, he is also one of the only two officers above the lieutenant colonel in the conscription, and the other is Colonel Mu Yu, who has been defined by the commander as the head of the special service.
Unlike the step-by-step and orderly handover in Perth City, Zhong Yi in the Kalgoorlie City sub-base was a little irritated at this time, and the excitement brought by the peaceful liberation of Perth had gradually subsided, but many worries came up at once. The rapid expansion of the territory caught Zhong Yi a little off guard, and he even had some confusion about the future development direction of the Red Police Force. The previous actions were not so much good decision-making as it was chasing ducks to the shelves, and each time the goal was determined with the promotion mission of the base. It took only more than two months for Comrade Supreme Commander to be promoted from second lieutenant to colonel, setting a new record in the history of the world army, but it was these promotion tasks that Zhong Yi had no time to think about the future development path, and the livelihood industry development plan handed over to Sandra was, to put it bluntly, a plagiarism of the urban construction plan of future generations.
Looking at the promotion task on the holographic screen, Zhong Yi pinched his nose and smiled bitterly, "It's time for the New Year!" ”
Yes, the time has come to January 17, 1935, which is also the time when the Zunyi Conference ended on the way of the Red Army's Long March, and it was on this day that the leadership of Taizu was established.
And Comrade Supreme Commander also activated the task of promoting the rank of colonel on this day.
Rank of Colonel Mission
Duration: 6 months
Mission Activation: Capture a state capital city with an Air Command building
Objective: Reach a territory of 1 million square kilometers and a population of 5 million people
Rewards for mission success: Commander promoted to colonel, nuclear power plant building, Navy dockyard building opened
Mission Failure Penalty: Banned from promotion for one year
The mission countdown now begins.
The first of the two conditions of the mission goal is to give it away for free, and it is also a buy-one-get-one-free type, which is more than 2 million square kilometers in Western Australia alone. The difference is only in the second condition, the population! Hey, Nima this is Australia, if you change to China, don't get 5 million yuan, 10 million can easily get it, but in this hellish place in Australia, it's easy to find 5 million sheep, find 5 million people?
Zhong Yi leaned on the back of the chair weakly, it seemed that he wanted a task, and he was ready with both hands, immigration! The place with the most people in the world, except for India, is China, yes, there are little devils. Even if they live in a city, it is better to go to the farm to herd sheep, at least the taste of the sheep is relatively simple. And the devil, don't think about it now, after getting them in the future, the Japanese girls can still introduce some, and the comrades-in-arms of the Red Police Force after the war also want to marry a daughter-in-law, but it seems that it is difficult to find real girls in Japan, I heard that it is difficult for them to have girls after they finish middle school, is it difficult to go to elementary school and catch them and then raise them? Well, that's a good idea, let's feel more at ease when we look at it ourselves.
…… Hey, if you think about it far, in fact, there is no choice, whether it is objective or subjective, it is necessary to immigrate in China. "It's time for Wilson to go, well, when the newly built sub-base car comes, we'll go!"
……
A month later, in the port town of Felimantle, only 19 kilometres from Perth, named after Captain Felimantle, who first boarded the WA Challenger by British colonists in the early 19th century, Zhong Yi led a group of senior officials from the Perth government to host a farewell reception for Wilson, who was about to leave for China. Different from the Han people's lavish banquets, white Westerners always like to achieve their goals in a self-service cocktail party, holding a glass of red wine that seems to be all over the world, but has a prominent purpose.
Zhong Yi doesn't like this method very much, drinking and eating meat, and tasting all the food in the world is the king. However, after following the local customs and secretly killing the two large lobsters that Vivien got on the balcony, the commander at this moment was elegantly holding a goblet, exchanging with Wilson about the matters that need to be paid attention to after the visit, as well as tips for dealing with Chinese officials, which is a golden word and the key to victory. Zhong Yi is not proficient in this regard, but it is OK to flip through a few web pages in the future. Without him, only beauty and money.
