Chapter 19 Starts with Western Australia

The ensuing battle became unhurried, and the rout became unstoppable. When the cavalrymen who escaped for their lives under the strafing of the machine guns fled back to the gate of the base, they were greeted by six machine guns spraying deadly fire snakes from the muzzles of the black holes. Qian Zhihao ignored them, and three infantry fighting vehicles with machine guns fired horizontally tightly blocked the only escape route.

The walls built at the defense interface are three meters high and half a meter thick, and the reinforced concrete structure makes them look extremely strong, but what brings the deserters is incomparably despair, even if they abandon the war horses, they can't climb over such a high wall, when Huo Lu commanded a row of two wheeled chariots to search for deserters, he actually saw a scene in the northeast corner that the Red Police soldiers could not understand: more than 100 Australian soldiers, they consciously put their horses together, and leaned their horses and guns together, Then everyone took the wide-brimmed felt hat in their hands, and when the infantry fighting vehicle appeared in sight, they waved the felt hat in their hands excitedly, and the red police soldiers who watched the lively scene were dumbfounded, Huo Lu pinched the soldier next to him, in exchange for a miserable scream, "Nima, is this here to attack our base, or to welcome the people of the People's Liberation Army?" ”

At the gate of the base, Colonel Hbar, with the "creaking" of the tank turret, wisely took off his white shirt and raised it with his carbine, a move that won the cheers of all the cavalry around him. As long as you don't have to face that demonic green killing machine anymore, even if you surrender, even if you are a prisoner of war, as long as you are still alive, you are worth celebrating!

This is also the biggest difference between the East and the West in terms of world view, in the eyes of Australians, to be precise, all Westerners, admitting defeat is not a shameful thing, but rather a gentleman. It is not worth compensating for fighting for their lives in a desperate situation, what they pay attention to is to surrender with dignity after doing their best, and even after surrendering, they can still return to the army and serve again. In World War II, the German army, which was known as invincible, also surrendered its entire corps in North Africa, even the SS surrendered after being surrounded by Cossack dragoons on the Don River. Lieutenant General Wainwright of the U.S. Army and Lieutenant General Percival of the British Army even accepted the Mack? Arthur's invitation to attend the Japanese surrender ceremony held on the battleship USS Missouri, both of whom were prisoners of war.

Qian Zhihao was deeply ashamed of their soft behavior, and at the same time, he was also deeply dissatisfied with the order issued by Company Commander Jiang Yunzhi to let the guard squad be responsible for guarding the prisoners of war, "Nima, let ten of us take care of hundreds of people, and hundreds of horses." "On the contrary, the Australian prisoners were quite cooperative, and the officers with higher ranks took the initiative to stand up to help maintain order, and the soldiers of the guard squad did not have to get out of the car, and they just sat in the infantry car and kept an eye on it.

Zhong Yi made an exception and entertained the commander of the cavalry regiment, Colonel Hebar, in the hall on the first floor of the main building. Of course, the hospitality supplies all came from the baggage wagons of the cavalry regiment, and there was no shortage of guns or cannons in the base, but there was an extreme shortage of daily necessities, and the logistics factory did not produce these, such as this bottle of red wine on the table, although Zhong Yi repeatedly gave in, but the identity of the prisoner of war made Hebar a little restless, although the young enemy commander in front of him was quite a gentleman, but the baron's eyes were mostly focused on the holographic map on the wall of the hall. Although defeated, it must be admitted that the colonel still had excellent military qualities, and he could see at a glance that the map was a panorama of Western Australia, and the scope even included Central Australia and part of the Great Artesian Basin, and the mountains, rivers, urban farms were clearly visible, which was ...... It's horrible.

"Relax, Baron, we are all gentlemen, and although you and your troops have been defeated, I must say that this defeat is not a battle! You and your knights are very heroic, your defeat is due to the backward Australian government, and your equipment is quite different from ours. Zhong Yi raised his red wine glass, gestured, and drained it. At this meeting, he himself had already drunk half a bottle.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, for your opinion that allows us to preserve the honor of our soldiers. I swear in the honor of my family: I will conscientiously cooperate with all the requests of His Excellency the Commander, and at the same time ask that you can provide the necessary support for the livelihood of my soldiers, they are soldiers, they come to attack you only by following the orders of their superiors, they can die in battle, but they must not be humiliated. ”

Jiang Yunzhi sounded quite angry, these white people are all like this bear, and if they are defeated, they will ask for this and that as if they are victorious!

Zhong Yi shook his head and stopped Company Commander Jiang, who was already about to scold. "Okay, baron, as long as you can cooperate with Company Commander Jiang's next inquiry, I guarantee that you and your soldiers will get the treatment they deserve."

After drinking the red wine in the glass again, and picking up the bottle with his hand, Zhong Yi stood up and said in English: "Lieutenant Chiang, uh no, you are now Captain Chiang, please be kind to Sir Hebal, he has sworn by the honor of the family to cooperate with any of your inquiries." Then he glanced again, and when he saw Jiang Yunzhi's eyes, he staggered back to the second floor. With a hiccup, he sat down in front of the console, "Bird, uh...... How can I increase the speed of recruitment in the barracks? ”

"Report...... Sir, there are two ways, the first is to build a sub-base, which we cannot achieve at the moment, and the second is to continue to build barracks in the main base, although multiple barracks cannot recruit personnel at the same time, but they can speed up the recruitment of barracks. "The female anchor is also a little uncomfortable with the commander who is getting drunk and getting drunk.

"Okay, you take control, build five military camps, put them all outside the valley, and do your best to increase the speed of recruiting PLA soldiers. In the meantime, get all the mining carts out and hollow out the Ayers Rock for me. ”

Zhong Yi was not drunk, but quite sober, according to Hebar, the Australian government is still focusing on the indigenous people for the robbery of the super mine shaft, and Western Australia just voted last year to secede from the Australian Commonwealth to seek autonomy, so this time did not send troops. And their cavalry regiment came to check on the destruction of Ayers Rock and assimilate the natives along the way, of course, this assimilation was a "friendly" assimilation by force.

The Australian government has not noticed itself, which is good news. But at the same time, Zhong Yi also noticed the news that Western Australia had applied for autonomy last year, that is, not only Bumiputerans, but also white people in Western Australia were not satisfied with the Canberra government, what does this mean? Zhong Yi felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for himself to quickly gain a foothold in Australia, Western Australia is more than 2 million square kilometers, which is similar to the whole of Western Europe, but most of it is a desert wasteland, and most of the population of the entire Western Australia is concentrated in the capital Perth, plus some small cities with tens of thousands of people like Kalgoorlie. Occupy Western Europe Zhong Yi did not dare to think for the time being, and occupied Western Australia...... There is a Type 59 tank armored regiment about the same, right? All that needs to be considered is how to get whites to accept their rule. Although the Red Police fighters are extraordinary, the bottle of red wine in their hands can reflect the shortcomings of the base - there are no civilian facilities. Therefore, Zhong Yi is a rare gentleman, and treats his defeated general Hebar politely, because this guy is a baron, and his family is the Smargon family with a certain influence in Western Australia, and wineries and mines are the main industries of this family.

Gently shaking the red wine in his hand, not the kind of graceful rotation of pinching the glass foot, but the unconscious shaking of the palm of the hand, Zhong Yi didn't know that the temperature of the palm of the hand would change the taste of the red wine, but he knew that the opportunity to control Western Australia and even the whole of Australia was ...... Here it comes!
