PS: I wrote the wrong chapter name in the last chapter, it should be chapter 633

May 20, Republic 2782 (1941), Hanking, Presidential Palace.

"Now our 13th Army has taken Brisbane, and the 9th Army has taken the entire northern region and attacked the Great Artesian Basin. After annihilating the Australian Second Army, the 5th Army entered the Eyre Peninsula to recuperate. After receiving reinforcements, with the strength of 2 air assault battalions, they successfully bypassed the Flinders Ridge defense line and captured the Adelaide ......"

General Liu Yiqiang, deputy chief of the General Staff and director of the First Division (Operations Department) of the General Staff, was standing next to a large-scale electronic sand table, explaining the current situation in Australia and New Zealand to the military and political bigwigs, including Wen Desi.

“...... In general, now our army has swept over three-quarters of the Oceania continent, and the 5th Army of the Southern Front has advanced to the west of the Murray River. The 13th Army of the Eastern Front had advanced to Brisbane. The 9th Army of the Northern Front had already entered the Great Artesian Basin, reaching Gray Ridge. The only areas that Australia can still control now are east of Grey Ridge, the Murray and Darling River basins. But it's also part of their best area, with major cities such as Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney all in the area. ”

"The three armies are seizing the opportunity to build a large front-line airfield and take a break, and once the large front-line airfield is completed, the three armies will launch a general offensive. Liu Yiqiang cupped his eyes and said with a smile: "If nothing else, we will end the battle before August......

Liu Yiqiang was originally the commander of the Eighth Army, but after the "Erathia Succession War", he was promoted to general and transferred to the post of deputy chief of the General Staff and head of the First Department of the General Staff.

"What about New Zealand, what is the situation over there?" asked Vice President Tao Chengzhang.

"New Zealand's North Island has been occupied by us, but their government refuses to surrender and continues to resist in the South Island. However, this is no longer a wave, their formed troops have been annihilated by us, and the rest is a law and order war. The 15th Army has a lot of experience in this, and it is estimated that by September at the latest, we will be able to take full control of New Zealand......" Liu Yiqiang said very easily.

Australia had effectively been crushed, and the Second Army, one of their two main forces, was annihilated at the Battle of Nullarbor on 10 May. On May 15, the 13th Army eliminated three Australian divisions and occupied Brisbane, an important northeastern city. Subsequently, in the Battle of Lake Yamayama on 16 May, the other main force, the First Group, was also annihilated by the 9th Army.

Later, the Chinese 5th Army, with the might of a great victory, approached Spencer Bay and, with the cooperation of the navy, occupied the York Peninsula on May 17. On the night of 18 May, the 5th Army, with the strength of two air assault battalions, bypassed the Flinders Ridge line and raided Adelaide opposite St. Venster Bay.

It was also the first actual combat of China's air assault forces. Because their vehicles are helicopters, and they disembark like mechanized infantry, and the combat method is similar to the ancient dragoons (mounted infantry), so they are also called "aerial dragoons". This type of unit is indeed very useful, they are almost not limited by the terrain, their mobility is amazingly high, and they have sufficient fire support, as long as they cooperate with the aviation unit, they can hit almost all targets within the range.

This new type of unit is good, but it is too expensive. A standard air assault battalion of more than 600 people needs to be equipped with 80 or 90 helicopters of various types, including 50 Z-9 "Jusha" armed transport helicopters, 6 to 8 Z-7 "Tianniu" or Z-8 "Dragon Llice" heavy transport helicopters, 8 to 10 Z-5 "Black Hawk" general-purpose helicopters, 18 Z-10 "Hujia" armed helicopters, and 6 to 8 Z-6 "Little Bird" reconnaissance helicopters. And that's not counting the artillery, all-terrain assault vehicles, etc., the cost of these helicopters alone is more expensive than the formation of four mechanized infantry battalions. Even if Mr. Wen was not short of money, he didn't dare to play too much, so he only formed three air assault battalions at the beginning.

It was not until it was tested in actual combat that it now seemed that this new type of unit was indeed very useful, so Wen Desi planned to expand it into three air assault brigades based on the current three air assault battalions. This force will become a rapid reaction force and an assault force belonging to the Army.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

After these campaigns, Australia's army was reduced from 21 divisions before the war to 5 divisions, losing 16 divisions or about 200,000 men. Although the kangaroos are still desperately building troops, the main force has been lost, and the rest of the troops are far from being comparable in experience and training.

If it weren't for the Chinese side for the sake of safety, they would have been able to fight Canberra by now. However, Wen Desi has other plans, so let the front line not be too fast, and fight steadily.

The aim is to reduce Australia's population as much as possible, to be precise, their young male population. Because Australia participated in a war that was more intense than the original plane, causing a large number of casualties, the total population before the war was only 6.5 million, compared to 7.2 million in the original plane. But whether it's 6.5 million or 7.2 million, Wen Desi is too much.

Because Wen Deji is not just about beating Australia, because it is like a lion fighting a rabbit, there is no suspense at all. Wen De wants the entire Australian continent, and he wants to completely localize these 7.61 million square kilometers of land and become China's "since ancient times". So, naturally, the fewer locals here, the better.

So in this war, in addition to the complete conquest of Australia, there is also a very important purpose, which is to try to bleed kangaroos, and the more blood they bleed, the better. A state of war is the most dignified means of reducing the population, and it is not so convenient to wait until victory to reduce the population, and it has a bad reputation. Although kangaroos are the descendants of criminals, they are also recognized as civilized people in mainstream society, and they cannot do the same thing as they do with the natives of Southeast Asia and Africa.

Mr. Wen has always been very particular about eating, even if he wants to do it to the monkeys, there must be a good reason. But if they die in the war, then no one is to blame. While it can also cause hatred and hostility, it is much more acceptable than killing in a non-war state.

The same is true for New Zealand, which is next door. If they don't surrender, let them bleed a lot. Anyway, there are less than 1.5 million people in New Zealand, and after these battles, plus the subsequent law and order war, I am afraid that there will not be many young and strong men left.

Of course, now that the Chinese Army is steadily fighting in Australia, the Air Force is not idle. Because the tropical storm has passed, a large number of bombers take off from Lynn (New Guinea Island) and Fiji every day to carry out strategic bombing against the remnants of Australia and New Zealand. Of course, China is particular about appearance, and does not bomb cities and villages indiscriminately, but only targets the other side's military targets and government agencies.

Wen Deji nodded and said, "It's not bad. Now we're going to think about immigration. Now that Malaya has been completely pacified, Western Australia, Northern Australia and South Australia, as well as the North Island of New Zealand, are also about the same, and some of them can be immigrated first. ”

Zhang Lizheng said: "Mr. Wen, what should I do with the rest of the people in Australia and New Zealand?"

Wen Desi said coldly: "If you are willing to leave, you will be sent away, I think there must be a shortage of people in Britain and Canada now, as long as they are willing to leave, we will send them away for free, and their legal property in the local area can also be converted into Chinese dollars for them." Of course, there must be some people who are unwilling to go, among these people, those who are willing to accept the assimilation policy can integrate into the mainstream society of our country after a few years, and those who are not willing to integrate with the ethnic group can go to a civilized school......"

"Mr. Wen, French New Caledonia also contains more than 18,000 officers and soldiers of the ANZ Afrika Korps, and these officers and soldiers are their elite. Gu Weijun, vice minister of foreign affairs, said: "We should put pressure on France to hand over these people......

Tang Jianhui, chairman of the new management committee, said indignantly: "Hmph, what are the French people thinking? I can't keep my foreigners, and they still want to deliberately disgust us......

"I don't think so," Cavour said. Where do they dare to disgust us now? I think they are just the face of the British and Americans, and they are now relying on the British and American troops to support them, or they will not be able to fight anymore......"

"However, I didn't think it was before, but now it looks like this French New Caledonia is really an eyesore......" Wen Deji walked to the electronic sandbox and enlarged the part of French New Caledonia.

"Yes, when we get ANZ, those islands will be stuck in the middle of our territory. Marshal Xin Jie came over again.

New Caledonia is one of the French overseas possessions and the only remaining French colony in the Pacific. It is located near the Tropic of Capricorn, in the Melanesian island group of the South Pacific Ocean, 1,500 kilometers off the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The region as a whole consists mainly of the islands of New Caledonia, the Loyal Islands and the Chesterfield Islands.

With a total area of 19,060 square kilometers, the group has a total population of less than 100,000 people, including European and Asian immigrants. Before that, the French were not too concerned about the island. But after World War I, France spit out a lot of territory in order to get China and the United States into the war, and now they only have this bit of territory left in the Pacific region, so the attention has increased a lot.

In addition, there is another reason for the nickel ore resources in the area. This is the largest nickel mine in France, so France is still very interested in it. If you want to make a big spit out in normal times, I'm afraid it's impossible.

But now that the big rooster itself is hard to protect, it is a good opportunity to start, and Wen Desi has been coveting this place for a long time.
