Chapter 65: I want to be a general every day

Jiang Yunzhi's arrival in Canberra means that Melbourne's big and small affairs have ended. After the British Army Commander Lieutenant General Conan signed the instrument of surrender, the remaining more than 10,000 British troops were imprisoned in prisoner of war camps. There are still more than 40,000 Australian troops, who were also disarmed on the spot and sent to Western Australia, where they were guarded by Cole, the commander of the third brigade of the guard.

"The iron mines in the northwest are just short of miners", this is Zhong Yi's original words.

Admiral Pound of the Royal Navy was also taken by helicopter to the former Governor's Palace in Melbourne, and then the Red Guard Navy spent a lot of effort to finally clear the channel after bombing and delaying, and the only two remaining battleships and four destroyers of the Mediterranean Fleet were seized in the port of Melbourne. Many of the soldiers and officers in the army have opinions on this matter, and every day mutton and goat milk, kangaroo steak, and large seafood are offered, will these British soldiers be reluctant to return to China one day?

Comrade Commander's explanation was: The British soldiers are different from the Australian soldiers, they are guests, and sooner or later we will have to send them back. No, the Canberra matter had not yet been resolved, and while Zhong Yi was still pretending to be ill, Britain's official diplomatic letter and telegram came: I hope to negotiate with you on the issue of the British Empire's Dominion of Australia and the British dispatch of troops to Australia.

Zhong Yi was waiting for this telegram, not because he had to get used to the British Empire, which was already declining, but when he was at the main base, Zhong Yi received the task of promotion at the general level, and he really had to deal with the British Empire.

Promoted to the rank of Major General mission

Mission duration: one year

Mission Activation: Capture the capital city and own the Naval Dockyard

Objective: Build a new empire with more than 10 nations recognizing your regime (including the overlord)

Mission Success Rewards: Commanders are promoted to Major General, troops can be expanded to military levels, ore refinery buildings can be opened, and a random superweapon will be rewarded

Mission Failure Penalty: Banned from promotion to military rank for two years

Look at the rewards, they are tempting, each one is tempting. But if you look at the mission goal again, every time you think of this, Zhong Yi can't help but want to complain. Statehood, that's okay, but why does it have to be an empire? Well, if we want to build an empire, why do we have to be recognized by ten countries? That's it, there are a lot of small islands around the Australian mainland, so let's just bully a few, but why do we have to ask the suzerainty to admit it? Was Britain that easy to bully before World War II? Although the whole world can see that Britain's national power has been declining year by year after World War I, its influence on the whole world is far from the imperial era of the last century. But at least for now, Britain's colonies are still the first in the world, and Britain's navy is still the first in the world...... Oh, without this Mediterranean fleet, I don't know if it's the first!

But from the point of view of this task, defeating Britain or tempting Britain to give up Australia cannot be bypassed, is it a fight? Or talk? This is actually the reason why Zhong Yi acted a little weirdly after entering Canberra before. Everyone can't guess, Zhong Yi is also very depressed, and they all say that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, but a soldier who wants to be a general every day is not happy!

According to Ye Zhiqiu's report, the three brigades of the army have all formed combat strength, and the commander of the third brigade is temporarily replaced by Ye Zhiqiu, chief of staff, waiting for the new appointment of the commander. The two regiments missing from the Air Force Division were being formed, and Yun Jiu handed over the battle on the front line to Gao Jian, the commander of the first regiment, and simply flew back to the main base, chasing Ye Zhiqiu every day for planes. The Battle of Sydney has ended, and the 111th Ink Regiment took the train directly outside Sydney, set up a tank formation to disarm the 5th Division of the Australian Army stationed in Sydney, and successfully took over the largest city in Coastal Continent. The two cruisers of the Australian Naval Base on Garden Island, the Australian Navy led by the Canberra and the Sydney, also obeyed the surrender order of the federal government, in fact, the total annihilation of the main Mediterranean squadron deeply shocked the Australian sailors, the master was beaten badly, what did the apprentice toss? Zhang Zheng of the Red Alert Navy was very happy and received two more cruisers, although the anti-aircraft firepower on them was very poor, but it was better than nothing, and it was not bad to use them as training ships for the officers and men of the Navy.

There is no news of the fat man's left guard who sent troops to attack Brisbane for a long time, and with the firepower of the newly developed wheeled Cheetah armored vehicles equipped with their regiment, it should not be a problem to deal with the Australian troops who are armed in those places, and from the situation of the Australian troops stationed in Sydney in the coming year, after the federal government announced its surrender, they may not resist.

Harding, who was sent to the United States, also sent back the news, and this telegram made Zhong Yi happy for a long time. This industry madman who wants to become the king of Australian automobiles, and even gave up his heir status, led a team to the United States after the Great Depression to buy the bottom, and also opened the way with gold, and the harvest was not small, and there were more than 30 companies that negotiated acquisition intentions, including steel, machine tools, chemicals, construction, automobile manufacturing, cement plants, shipyards and other industries, and even banks and entertainment companies, several of which aroused Zhong Yi's great interest.

Douglas Aircraft Company, if the name is still a little unfamiliar to you, then when it comes to the McDonnell Douglas aircraft of later generations, it must be known to everyone, next year this company will launch the DC-3, which is known as the most important transport aircraft in human history, how can the company be sold now? Will the United States allow this company, which has served the Navy for more than a decade, to be sold? You must know that McDonnell Douglas in later generations is absolutely ahead in the technology of air-to-air missiles!

General Motors, seeing this name, Zhong Yile was happy, is it possible that Cadillac will become made in Australia in the future? However, Zhong Yi is not very interested in this old American enterprise whose assets are broken and the acquisition must be very difficult, can it still compare to the war factory in our base by building cars in peacetime and tanks during the war years?

The Detroit Aircraft Company, which has gone out of business and is facing an auction. Lockheed? Skunk Works? Hercules? Don't know yet? The F-117, F-22 Raptor, and F-35 Lightning should always know, right? Has this company gone out of business and is being auctioned? Zhong Yi regretted that he had studied history too poorly and couldn't remember the details of Lockheed Martin at all, but he couldn't let go of wrongful killings. Buy people, buy equipment, buy studios, what can be photographed, get them all!
