Chapter 46: Three Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons
The Dream cruise ship slowly left Port Felimantle, and also brought with it the dream of Comrade Commander's million-strong Han immigrants. Looking at Wilson and Mu Yu, who were still waving on the cruise ship, Zhong Yi suddenly had a thought, what kind of scene would it be when Mu Yu faced Boss Dai?
The bulletproof Chitu SUV quietly stopped on the dock, and Vivian, who had changed into a well-fitting military uniform, stepped on small half-heeled leather shoes, and made a pleasant "click, click" sound on the concrete floor on the dock.
In fact, Vivian's complexion is not pure African black, but the kind of brown that is closer to that of South Americans, although this does not conform to the aesthetics of Comrade Commander, but I have to admit that as a secretary, Vivian is still quite qualified. Smart enough, diligent enough, and hard enough, is Zhong Yi's comment to his female secretary.
"Commander, isn't China your hometown? Why did you send a white man to call for labor, and not to send the same yellow-skinned officers? Vivien's voice wasn't particularly brittle, a little hoarse.
"Hehe, this is that you don't know China, in my hometown, we Han people have been bullied by whites for many years like you natives, although there is no foreign adult saying now, but it is still more popular for foreign monks to chant scriptures."
"What is a monk?"
"Oh! It's the equivalent of a priest in Perth City! ”
"Then why do pastors chant the scriptures?"
……
Didn't bother to pay attention to the Australian Aboriginal version of the 100,000 why, Zhong Yi boarded the Chitu SUV, and the commanders of the various units had been waiting in the conference room of the sub-base for a long time.
During this time, after the three regiments of the Red Police Force and one flight regiment of the Air Force were all installed, most of the funds of the base were invested by Zhong Yi in the construction of base vehicles, but the cost of one million per sub-base car still made Zhong Yi feel a little like vomiting blood. Fortunately, after the construction of the four base vehicles, they were deployed to the iron ore mining area of the Hammersley Ridge and the nickel production area below the Swan River, which greatly increased the amount of capital recovered. The two sub-bases did not build many military facilities, but only built mining plants and barracks for the purpose of mining local mineral deposits, and the day-to-day management of the bases was done by engineers recruited by the barracks. The third sub-site is located in Shack Bay, north of Perth, where the nearby Indian Ocean will serve as a test field for testing the Red Alert base's offshore drilling rig. And the fourth sub-base is the location of the conference room that Zhong Yi is preparing to go to. This sub-base in the small city of Fermantle was spread out near the port, and in Zhongyi's plan, it would become the birthplace of the Red Guard Navy.
In the conference room, the three regiment commanders of the Red Guard Corps and the three brigade commanders of the Guard Corps had all arrived -- after the reorganization of the troops, the Third Division and the First and Second Regiments of the former Guard Corps were reorganized into three brigades, which were unified into the First Division of the National Guard, and the division commanders were temporarily vacant, and the brigade commanders were Hans, Thayer, and Cole, among whom the commander of the Second Brigade, Thayer, was an indigenous who had distinguished himself in the Kalgoorlie Resistance and was exceptionally promoted. Not only is the position of the commander of the 1st Division of the Guards vacant, but even the brigade commander of the armored brigade of the Red Guard Force is temporarily replaced by Zhong Yi. The core content of this meeting was to lay out the objectives of the next stage of the campaign, and after the meeting began, Zhong Yi's first sentence was: Those who enter the port of Augusta first will be the commander of the guard division or the brigade commander of the Red Police.
There was a small confusion in the conference room, and the commander's order was too sudden. Although everyone guessed that after the reorganization of the troops was completed, the next step would definitely be to attack outside Western Australia, but it was too ...... to cross the Nullarbor Plain and break through 3,000 kilometers to the end of the Poo Railway Exaggeration!
The first to speak formally was Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Yunzhi, commander of the Second Armored Regiment, "Commander, before there was no railway, crossing the Nullarbor Plain was equivalent to crossing ...... Tibetan. And a direct attack on Port Augusta, a leap of 3,000 kilometers at once, our fortune will have to rely entirely on this railway, once the Australian army ......"
"Yes, what Commander Jiang said is completely correct, although there are no Australian troops in Western Australia, and most of the Australian troops in South Australia are stationed in Adelaide and the York Peninsula, but our supply lines are too long, and the Federation has an air force with a fleet of battleships and dozens of aircraft." Hans's knot had been untied, he was no longer inhibited at the meeting, and Hans had been promoted to commander of the Australian Army's 17th Brigade, which was part of the 6th Division in the Adelaide area. Another Australian force in South Australia was the Eighth Cavalry Division, to which Hebar once belonged.
In terms of the current combat effectiveness of the armored brigade and the 1st Guard Division, the Australian troops in South Australia are not enough to trouble, and Zhong Yi is confident that an armored regiment can completely annihilate them. It seems that the commanders of these units also have the same opinion, everyone is just worried that the battle line is too long, and the relief channel is easy to attack. Zhong Yi waved his hand, and the black girl immediately spread a map of southern Australia on the conference table, the detection radius of the main base is only 1,000 kilometers, and it cannot cover the entire South Australia at all, and the holographic screen is temporarily useless.
"Everyone knows that the Australian army is not our opponent, neither the army nor the air force! I can also tell you that if you win this battle, we will have a navy, and by that time you can directly assume that the battlefleet of the Federation has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Ignoring the surprise of the three guards, Zhong Yi smiled mysteriously, pointed to the map and continued: "There is not so much time to waste, we must complete the unification of the whole of Australia by this year." At the very least, we want to occupy the densely populated areas of the east. In order to achieve this goal, then South Australia ...... Including Adelaide, I ask within a month, take it! Finger moved to the right, "After the Battle of South Australia, we will have about two months of rest and recuperation, and the troops will be regrouped. And then we're going to have a good chance of a decisive battle with the British Expeditionary Fleet here, and if we win, I think, the battle should be over, and you can be ready to go to Melbourne, Sydney, and, of course, Canberra. Zhong Yi's finger stopped at the location on the map and there were a few small words - Bass Strait.
It seemed that everyone had digested the strategic arrangement just now, Zhong Yi picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine - Nima, it was time to tell Mu Yu to bring back some Longjing. "Ladies and gentlemen, the first step of this Australian strategy is the South Australian campaign that we are about to execute, and the concern between everyone is very necessary, our troops are advancing three thousand miles, and this distance may be able to create a record in the history of world wars. But we are not unprepared for the battle, first of all, our air force can fully control the railway line, Hans just said that the federal government also has dozens of flying air forces, and I promise that as long as they dare to take off, there will be no chance of landing again. Everyone nodded, and fools could see that the jet J-5 was not comparable with the dozens of biplanes of the Federal Air Force at all.
"Second," Zhong Yi raised two fingers, "we have a large number of engineering troops to ensure the smooth flow of the railway, and at the same time, the main task of Thayer's 2nd Brigade is to protect the railway line. Without waiting for Thayer to speak, Zhong Yi stretched out another finger, "Third, and most importantly, we will establish an advance base in Nullarb. ”
