Australia is south of the equator, and the season is exactly opposite to that of the Northern Hemisphere. While the north is still a cold winter, Australia is the hottest time of the year.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Australia was far from being economically developed in later generations, although the mining industry had been initially revealed, when it was still far from the point where the mining giants 'shake' the world.

Their relationship with the British is very good, although there are certain contradictions between them, but they are only minutiae, and the two sides still maintain a close degree of agreement on the general principle. The British stationed a large fleet there, with an Orion-class super-dreadnought-class battleship and two Neptune-class dreadnoughts, an Indomitable battlecruiser, and a large number of cruisers, destroyers, and gunboats, as well as twenty-six submarines.

This is a powerful fleet, and without defeating them, the Chinese fleet will not be able to land in Australia safely.

So the 200,000-strong elite army remained in East Timor, and the early war began with a naval battle.

Three aircraft carrier battle formations, each with four aircraft carriers of two heavy and two light or two heavy and one medium and one light, carry at least 200 fighters. There are 2-4 capital ships deployed in the vicinity, which are dreadnoughts, battle cruisers, or large armored patrols, and heavy patrols, 24-30 light cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, 2-3 oil tankers, 4 supply ships, 20-30 torpedo boats, and 4-10 submarines.

The entire aircraft carrier battle formation has more than 60 large and small ships, and its combat mode has completely shifted from close-range artillery battles of the Grand Fleet to fighter attacks.

Three aircraft carrier battle formations, one remaining in East Timor, control the Timor Sea. One turned to the Coral Sea, based in Guinea. Attack on the Cape York Peninsula. The Sea Falcon and the H4 dive bomber could easily teach the Commonwealth fighter to be a man again. While this area is far from the best of Australia, it is at the forefront of the Australian resistance.

Another carrier battle formation went straight south to attack the port of Darwin. The ultimate goal of seizing the peninsula of Australia's north coastline was to take control of the Bay of Carpentalia, the large bay that recessed in the middle of Australia's north coastline. Fighters flying from the depths of this large bay can directly attack the east coastline of Australia.

At the end of 1917, when Liu Xian stood in the foreground again, the clouds of war hung over the world. Speaking on the war, Fisher, leader of the Australian Labor Party, said: "Australia is firmly on the side of the motherland, assisting her, supporting her until the last man and the last shilling." ”

The day after China declared war on Europe and the United States. Australia followed in the footsteps of the British Empire and declared war on China.

On January 13, 1918, the caretaker Prime Minister Joseph Brown. On behalf of the government, Cook announced that during the war, Australia's navy would be placed under the command of the British Admiralty, and declared a national conscription, calling on all citizens to stand up and defend the right to freedom with their lives against the invasion of the Chinese.

At midnight on January 14, 1918, a telegram was sent from London to all the Dominions. The war mobilization order of the British Empire was announced. In the afternoon of that day, Prime Minister Cook summoned representatives of the press at his office in Melbourne and announced: "I have received the following message from the Imperial Government: Mobilize all forces, war has broken out. "Australia has unanimously agreed to provide unconditional assistance to its home country and other allies. Even quite unexpectedly. The Australian-Irish, who had always held an anti-British stance, also expressed support for the British war against China. The Liberal Party also expressed its full support for the just war against China in the home country, and its leader, Hughes, said: "A united nation is facing the worst crisis in our history. "There is no real disagreement among the Australian parties on the issue of going to war. Opposition parties across the country have expressed their full support for the mother country, such as the New South Wales Liberal Party leader Raid's proposal to the state's Prime Minister Holman (Labour) to stop the party struggle in support of the war.

Australia's slogan is "Save the Empire." Defend Australia". After entering the war, the government called on the people to voluntarily sign up for the army, and the entire Australian civilian registration enthusiasm was quite enthusiastic and active. The total strength of the Austrian army soon reached 300,000, and more than 80% of them were Australian-born. The Australian government concentrated its recruited volunteers in Liverpool near Sydney and Broadledos near Melbourne for military training. At the same time, the government also manufactured all kinds of munitions on a large scale, such as automobiles, horse-drawn carriages, horse harness, uniforms, guns, ammunition, boats, and prepared food and medicines.

General Bridges was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian Army. Bridges was one of Australia's most prominent professional soldiers, having served in Africa with the British Army, and from 1909 to 1910 he served as Australia's representative at the Imperial Staff in London; He founded the Military Academy in Australia, and in 1914 he was appointed Director General of the Australian Army. His deputy was General White. He was also a highly talented officer who served in the British Army in South Africa and also studied at the prestigious British Military Academy in Cambury. White was appointed Chief of Staff of the Australian Army.

Of course, the British Army and the Royal Air Force are also stationed in Australia. Sydney is the base camp of the British Air Force in Australia, and more than 300 British Thorprois fighters have exceeded 180 kilometers per hour. The ability to climb is even better than that of the Harrier-converted fighter, and on more than one occasion in the Ottoman battlefield, when there has been a single-plane confrontation, the Harrier-converted fighter was defeated by the excellent British pilot who operated the Soproyis fighter-Camel fighter.

Of course, this heads-up is not universal. Just like in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China's low-speed piston MiG fighter shot down the most advanced high-speed jet fighter in the United States.

But the gap between the two sides is almost the same.

The British are very confident in their camel planes, and their more than 300 planes, together with Australia's own more than 100 planes, and 500 planes, they believe are enough to protect the whole of Sydney.

However, the British did not expect that the Chinese fighters attacking were not backward Harriers, but quite advanced Sea Falcon fighters and H4 dive bombers. The gap in the performance of the fighters of the two sides has not narrowed, but has widened. Although the Haigu fighter and the H4 dive bomber are not considered the most advanced goods in the technical reserve of the Chinese Air Force. But for the current European and American world, it is still an existence that can make them completely desperate. It's like what happened after the Battle of Thrace......

So. The Battle of the Peninsula on the North Coastline of Australia and the Battle of the Cape York Peninsula, British warplanes and combat aircraft of the Australian side. Both of them were defeated without fighting back, and the high-speed fighter with a speed of up to 260 kilometers per hour was beyond the reach of the camel plane.

In just one week, all the airfields and harbor bases laid out along the north coast of Australia were completely destroyed, and one bombshell after another annihilated the defensive lines that the British had painstakingly arranged in orange-red flames. The price paid by China is a tiny less than thirty aircraft, including six H4 dive bombers.

Counting the damaged planes that insisted on flying back to the aircraft carrier, the total loss of the Chinese side was only a small 50 aircraft.

Neither of the two combat aircraft carrier formations needs to return to the rear to replenish the fighters and pilots, and the loss of a total of only 50 aircraft is only the transport ships in the rear, and everything can be done, including the replenishment of pilots.

That's the benefit of a transport ship. They carried not only food, fresh water and bombs, but also entire planes, aircraft accessories and a lively pilot candidate.

So, just 20 days after the start of the Australian campaign, hundreds of Chinese warship formations appeared off the coast of Brisbane, Australia's third largest city.

The war is going so well. Having lost air supremacy, the Australian Army was vulnerable, and their navy retreated from the north coast of Australia to the east and west, so to speak, in separate parts of the British fleet. With the pursuit of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet along the way, more than two dozen light cruisers and destroyers have been destroyed by aircraft carrier fighters to this day. The British and Australian submarine forces also carried out attacks on Chinese aircraft carrier formations, damaging and sinking many Chinese naval protection warships, but they never came within 10 kilometers of the aircraft carrier.

China's aircraft carrier formations are too meticulously protected. High-speed destroyers and light cruisers on the periphery. More than 20 torpedo boats are frequently active between these destroyers and light cruisers, and their speed is much faster than that of light cruisers and destroyers, and they cooperate with submarines and planes in the air. The naval submarine forces of the Anglo-Australian Combined Fleet were really difficult to approach their prey. All they can do is hunt down a few light cruisers and destroyers on the periphery of this large circle, and then flee to their deaths surrounded by Chinese planes and high-speed warships.

China's aircraft carrier battle formations have not yet been tested by truly brutal naval battles. It is difficult to say whether it can play the role of an unbreakable golden body. But it's a system after all. Even if it is immature, it is a system that is filled with countless wisdoms. For the first time, the British were faced with such a mode of warfare. Their performance is even more overwhelming.

Therefore, the naval fleet deployed by the British on the north coast of Australia, plus the fleet after the Australian Navy, although it has good strength, has no power to fight back in the face of the general trend, so it can only flee separately and be beaten by the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet in the back of the ass. During the entire operation period, only minelayers and submarines played their role among the British warships, adding some trouble to the Chinese Navy's warship cluster.

"The Emperor is wise. took out dreadnoughts, battle cruisers, and other things that consume national strength but are useless in today's naval warfare, and instigate the Germans to compare with the British, and they are poor. China has silently developed aircraft carriers, laying the foundation for a century-old strong navy in one fell swoop. Lin Baoyi, commander of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Formation, looked at the Australian light cruiser in the waterway in the port of Moreton Island, which had been occupied by the marines accompanying the ship, and his face was full of smug pride.

He didn't think that the emperor's death was a shocking deception, and the navy should be the emperor's proud work.

As soon as the dreadnoughts and battle cruisers came out, Europe and the United States were surprised. The Europeans had gone to great expense to build dreadnoughts, super-dreadnoughts, and battle cruisers. But what's the use? On today's battlefield, no matter how powerful a dreadnought, it is just a pile of scrap metal under the 'feet' of an aircraft.

Bombers and torpedo planes cooperate with submarines and torpedo boats to assault and harvest, this is the current tactic of the Chinese Navy. The capital ships, cruisers, and destroyers have become the nannies of the aircraft carriers.

The Chinese Navy would rather sink a heavy cruiser than a heavy aircraft carrier.

As long as the two sides are at an appropriate distance, all the warships of the British will come up, and Lin Baoyi will not be afraid at all.

Now the Germans and the British have dozens of dreadnoughts and battle cruisers vacant, which, in Lin Baoyi's view, are useless.

"The Emperor is indeed a genius. Abandoning the capital ship and taking the aircraft carrier not only avoided the attention of the Europeans and relieved the pressure of the conquest, but also killed the entire European and American navies in one fell swoop. ”

"When I was in the prime of life, the world thought that China was strong on land and weak on sea. But now as soon as the aircraft carrier comes out, our Chinese Navy dominates the world! It's really a hundred-year plan. Huang Zhongying, chief of staff of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Formation, said in agreement.

What position determines what opinion. In the eyes of a group of generals of the navy, Liu Xian insisted on not taking the route of giant ships and cannons, but took the aircraft carrier, and raised the level of the Chinese navy for an entire era in one fell swoop.

Those naval powers in Europe and the United States who are still in the era of giant ships and cannons can continue to change their thinking, but the pace is destined to fall behind the ass of the Chinese. A decision made by the old emperor shortened the time of at least thirty years ago for the real rise of the Chinese Navy!

"Report to the Commander. The landing force called that a certain battalion of the 2nd Marine Division had successfully seized the British airfield on the outskirts of Brisbane and completely annihilated the remnants of the enemy. ”

A young staff officer reported to Lin Baoyi. When the Chinese Marines attacked the city of Brisbane, some of the remnants of the southern part of the city fled while the encirclement was still not secured. The 1st Division of the 2nd Division was ordered to pursue, and the remnants of the British and Australian troops retreated to the airfield in the southern suburbs. Then the battle has been fought until now.

Huang Zhongying glanced at her watch, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which means that the battle at the southern suburbs airport had been fought for almost two and a half hours.

"Commander, the foreigners are fighting very hard. A remnant army of less than 1,000 men was defeated, relying on the dilapidated southern suburbs airfield, and actually resisted our battalion for two and a half hours. ”

"That's it. The war of the fallen country, the war of hegemony. Neither the Australians nor the British will let us get what we want. The battle on the seashore is over, and there is still a battle to be fought after going deep inland. We're followed by 200,000 elite troops.

The Emperor has given the order to die, and Australia will not hesitate to do so, even if it is a blank field. (To be continued.) )
