Chapter 345: Occupy New Asia
The Maori were armed with simple tools, including bony harpoons, stone knives, and rudimentary bows and arrows with a range of just over ten meters. Although the weapons were not advanced, the Maori fought each other more fiercely than the advanced weapons of the great powers that were fighting the Great War of the World.
Sharp bone forks could easily pierce the chests of foes, sharp stone knives slashed through unarmoured bodies, and the entire beach was in a scuffle, with stumps and severed arms splattered all over the ground, blood staining not only large swaths of the sand, but also the nearby water.
The battle lasted for three hours, and the newest number of Chief Rabroli finally could not hold out, and they were forced to give way to the beach area and retreat deeper into the island.
Despite the initial victory, the Austronesian Maori did not have an easy victory, with more than 10,000 soldiers killed and nearly 50,000 wounded.
In this backward country without any medicines, there is only a thin line between injury and death, and the infection and suppuration of the wound and the complications that come with it will kill these wounded. The North Island Māori lost more people, and they had to retreat deeper into the islands and use the familiar terrain to resist the South Island Māori invasion.
The favorable terrain allowed the outnumbered North Island Maori to move back to the situation, and the South Island Maori who went deep into the jungle of the island were killed one after another, which made Chief Cabrades very annoyed, and he asked the South Island to continue to expand the conscription, so that all the men who could go to the battlefield entered the North Island to fight, and on the other hand, he asked his soldiers not to leave their hands, and killed all the men, women and children in the North Island, leaving no one behind.
The number of Maori in the South Island soon reached 190,000, but the battle did not go as smoothly as Chief Cabrades had predicted.
With the killing of the South Island Māori leaving the North Island Māori with no choice, all the North Island Māori had no choice but to rise up and fight, and the scale of the war grew larger and more tragic than both sides expected.
Liu Wei's sowing discord this time was to create public opinion for the Iron and Blood Army to invade New Asia, so before the two sides went to war, Liu Wei and the special forces led by him secretly infiltrated Beidao with cameras specially equipped for the reconnaissance department to shoot the whole battle.
A week later, reports of the civil war in New Asia appeared in the major newspapers of the world, and the photos of the massacres of women and children aroused the indignation of the people of the world, and many anti-war activists took to the streets to march on the streets and use the photos of the massacres of women and children in these wars to publicize, not only asking the government to send troops to intervene in the civil war in New Asia to stop these barbaric massacres, but also demanding that their country withdraw from the war and restore a peaceful environment to the people of the world.
Governments are now in a difficult position to pull out of the war and are unable to intervene in the civil war in New Asia.
At this moment, Fu Mingcheng announced in the name of the Chinese consortium Iron Blood Army that the civil war in New Asia had threatened the safety of the barbarian continent's external transportation routes, and the Iron Blood Army would never sit idly by, and at the same time, the Iron Blood Army had the ability and responsibility to stop this barbaric massacre against humanity.
Under the pretext of defending human rights, the predominantly prepared Iron Army quickly dispatched two divisions to land on the flat beaches of New Asia under the escort of a small fleet. Fu Mingcheng did not send the troops directly to the North Island, anyway, the Maori information is blocked, it is better to let them fight for a few more days and consume more.
Fu Mingcheng first commanded the Iron Army to quickly land on the South Island, and the regular army of the two divisions completely wiped out the Maori living here, and the men who could move around among these Maori had been sent to the North Island to participate in the war, and the South Island was completely unable to resist at this time.
Faced with the defenseless Maori of the Austrones, the Predators easily controlled them all, and also sent a fleet to block the sea between the two islands to prevent anyone from smuggling across the channel to report to the North Island.
The remaining Maori who remained in the South Island were old and weak, women and children, who could not cause any trouble for the Predators, and they were quickly put together to look after them. With the help of Wu Feng, Fu Mingcheng seconded a group of freighters from the shipping company to catch all the Maori on board, and their destination would be the remote and poor land of the St. Martin Empire, which was not much like the reservation policy of the United States on Earth for the Indians, where they would live a difficult and difficult life.
Emptied of the South Island, the Predators quickly landed on the North Island, and the well-trained and well-equipped regular army landed on the beach of the last great battle without hindrance, and the few Austronesian Maori guarding the beach area watched in astonishment as the army rushed onto the beach, and was at a loss for a moment.
The two chiefs soon got a report from their own people, and at this time they woke up like a dream, thinking of this strange violent incident, most likely the sowing of discord by others, but it was too late to regret it, and both chiefs sent messengers to each other after deliberation.
Both sides had the intention of reconciliation, and the negotiations went very smoothly, because both sides paid a lot of price in the war, and the two sides agreed not to pursue each other's responsibilities, and the two sides agreed to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
In order to defeat an unknown foreign enemy, the Maori of the two islands formed a coalition army, and in the eyes of the two chiefs, the Maori still had 200,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and they were very sure of any invading army.
The two Māori chiefs, who had never seen the world before, had never seen a hot weapon, and after finding that the Predators had established themselves on the beach and were transporting supplies, they led their warriors to attack the Predators on the beach from all directions.
The Predator warriors were incredulous in the face of the Maori rushing up with rudimentary weapons, and they couldn't understand how these Maori could be so brave and dare to attack their well-equipped army with cold weapons.
But the Predator soldiers did not stand stunned for long, and under the loud orders of the commanders at all levels, all the warriors began to look for concealment, picked up their weapons, and opened fire on the Maori.
The dense gunfire apparently frightened the Maori in the front row, who had never heard of gunfire before and did not understand what a hot weapon was, and when the dense bullets hit their heads, some of the Maori warriors who were running suddenly fell to the ground with blood sprayed on their bodies, frightening those who were not hit.
When the warm blood of his companions splattered on his body, and the enemy was hundreds of meters away, the fear of the Maori was unspeakable. The surviving Maori in front were so frightened that they turned around and tried to flee, while those who were charging behind were unaware of the situation in front of them, only that they were charging forward, and the chaos in the ranks deprived them of their last chance.
When the Type 03 machine gun spread bullets on the Maori at a rate of 1,200 rounds per minute, their fate was doomed. The two chieftains who rushed to the front were killed on the spot, and the Maori, who had lost their command, were thrown into disarray, and they no longer knew whether to charge or retreat.
The Predator warriors attacked with ferocity, and they were all indoctrinated with the idea that as long as the enemy did not surrender, they must be resolutely destroyed, so they looked at these panicked Maori with no mercy at all.
The bullets struck the bodies of the Maori, splashing blood and causing a large number of Maori to fall to the ground in panic and become corpses strewn across the beach, and in just two hours, most of the 200,000 Maori warriors were reduced to corpses.
As it turned out, flesh and blood could never compete with steel, and the Predator soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield afterwards only rescued more than 5,000 Maori wounded, and the rest of the corpses were piled on top of each other and doused with gasoline and burned.
The fire burned for a whole day and night, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air everywhere, smelling it everywhere in the North Island, making the elite Predator soldiers almost sick.
After paying a terrible price, there were not many strong men left to fight, and the remaining old and weak women and children had no choice but to surrender, and these Maori were also sent to the St. Martin Empire to settle down.
The Maori people on the island were all relocated, and the construction team of the Chinese Consortium followed closely behind the Iron Warriors to land on the island, and they began to build ports in several selected bays, which were divided into military ports and commercial ports, and the goods purchased in the wild continent in the future would be delivered here to avoid leaks.
At the same time, the construction team built a fortress stronghold in the important place as a defensive garrison facility, and Fu Mingcheng planned to completely occupy this place.
After the initial construction of the port, more building materials were transported to the two islands, a large number of coastal batteries, radar stations and dockyards were built, and with the support of several ports on the two islands, the Iron Blood's fleet had a lot of room to maneuver, and Sydney Harbour also had an outpost. When he heard that Fu Mingcheng had occupied the two islands of New Asia, the excited Fang Xiaoyu decided to come and inspect it in person.
It is not a simple matter for the emperor to travel, just the number of guards needs to use the scale of thousands of people, involving more than a dozen departments, Fang Xiaoyu will hug each other once he travels, and a large group of people will follow, either bright or dark, so Fang Xiaoyu rarely goes out, but this time the stakes are very high, so he has to come to inspect.
Fortunately, the government of the Chinese Empire is very efficient, and usually major affairs are handled by officials such as the East China Tour, Fang Xiaoyu is very idle, and the palace he left is not a big deal.
In order not to touch the already very sensitive nerves of the countries of the Western Continent, Fang Xiaoyu felt that he couldn't make a big splash, so this time Fang Xiaoyu didn't alarm too many departments, especially those public departments, he secretly led a group of guards and made a private visit.
Fang Xiaoyu very much hopes to take a plane to the Wild Continent, because he has always hoped to have a special landline like Air Force One, but unfortunately the current aircraft skills are really not flattering, not only the load capacity is limited, but the safety is not guaranteed, not to mention that the Chinese Empire does not have a special passenger plane at all, so Fang Xiaoyu can only choose the traditional way of travel, take the train to Port Arthur, and then take a boat to Moore Port.
