Chapter 653: The Australian-New Zealand-Malaysian War Ends
2 December, Republic 2782 (1941), Sydney.
Sydney, Australia's largest city and the capital of New South Wales, is Australia's economic, financial and shipping centre. In later generations, Sydney was also an internationally renowned tourist destination, famous for iconic buildings such as Love Harbour, the beach, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
However, at present, the Harbor Bridge is there, the Shell Opera House has no shadow, and the tourism industry has not been developed at all. After all, Australia at this time was still an undeveloped sling country, and in people's impressions, it was still a place of exile for criminals, and it was lonely overseas. Naturally, not many people are interested in playing.
Well, all of this is meaningless now, because the country of Australia is already on its knees, and according to Wendehe's plan, the country will disappear into the long river of history.
At 8 a.m. yesterday, December 1, the Australian government, which had retreated to Sydney, could no longer bear it and announced its decision to surrender unconditionally on the radio.
Admiral Yi Damao, commander of China's Nanyang Front, immediately ordered the former Australian government and military to immediately maintain local law and order and protect various government, public and private property pending handover. At the same time, all units of the front line were ordered to immediately go to the reception, equipped with a large number of motor vehicles and helicopters, and the Chinese army suddenly showed amazing efficiency. The various units rushed to the various areas as if they were racing.
Just after 10 a.m., more than 3,800 officers and men from two air assault battalions and an infantry regiment arrived outside Sydney in more than 300 helicopters. They immediately entered the city and received them. Near noon, a large number of troops arrived one after another.
In a manor villa more than ten kilometers outside Sydney, several well-dressed middle-aged and elderly people sat in the living room and looked at each other speechlessly, everyone's face full of a sense of failure. Before yesterday, they were the rulers of this country, but now they are prisoners, well, they can't be considered prisoners, at least not yet.
This manor house is a jazz property, a luxurious villa with a Victorian exterior and a very modern interior, and placing this bunch of kangaroo high-rises here can only be called house arrest at best.
The former Governor of Australia, Alexander Hall, looked at the layout of the room, looked out the window, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this should be Sir Dantès's estate......"
The Governor General of Australia is the representative of the monarch of Australia. Under current Australian and British law, Australia and the United Kingdom share a monarch who is resident in the United Kingdom. As such, the Governor General of Australia generally exercises the office of Head of State. But the Governor-General of Australia was not appointed by the King of England, but was nominated by the Prime Minister of Australia, who, as head of state, had the power to dissolve the government. It was a strange system, so in 1975, there was a constitutional crisis, and the governor dissolved the government.
Now, of course, they don't have to worry about that anymore.
At present, the Governor General has participated in the First World War, has the rank of brigadier general, and has been awarded the title of Baron Gowry by the British King.
Dr. Herbert Will Ivat, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, also looked around, and said with a bitter face: "It is indeed Sir Dantes's villa, and he took his whole family to Canada before the war, and I thought he was making a fuss, hehe......"
These former Australian tycoons were originally imprisoned in the city hall building in Sydney, and in order to facilitate management, they were sent out of the city early this morning and placed in this manor.
"Gentlemen, what will the Chinese do with us?" said former Australian Prime Minister Robert Gordon Menzies in a dry voice. At this moment, this politician, who is known for his eloquence, can be described as dumbfounded, with a gray and decadent face, and the whole person has lost his spirit.
In the history of the original time and space, Menzies served as prime minister twice, 18 years, 5 months and 12 days, making him the longest-serving Australian prime minister in history. However, on this plane, he obviously has no second chance. This dude is a political fighter, a typical politician, but a coward. During the First World War, he evaded military service, and this disgraceful event became his handle for a long time.
Menzies's classmate is almost the same as the Kerensky in Belarus, both are invincible people with sparse hands, and they can still mix in peacetime, but once they face war, he is blind and does not know what to do at all. When the Chinese 5th Army took Melbourne on September 15, he panicked and tried to escape, and even contacted the U.S. Embassy to prepare to go to the United States to form a government-in-exile.
But the U.S. ambassador regretfully told him that there was nothing they could do, because the Chinese Navy and Air Force were blocked in the air, at sea and under the sea. He originally surrendered, but the Australian military# side was dominated by hawks, and many officers were white supremacists, who were unwilling to surrender to the "low" colored people, and advocated fighting to the end.
They retrenched their defences, moved all the remnants of their forces to Canberra and Sydney, and mobilized all the forces they could mobilize, arming every man and woman of the right age. They also know that there is a huge difference in strength between China and Australia, and they do not expect to be able to hold China, so their biggest reliance is to ask the United States to enter the war.
But the United States clearly has no intention of wading into troubled waters. Lao Tzu is already very difficult to deal with the two battlefields of Europe and Africa now, okay, the red woolly bear and Hans Meow are very good at fighting, and if I provoke China again, I have a bag in my head? This is the idea of the Americans.
Originally, the Yankees are not surnamed Lei, so why should they help you Kangaroo top the thunder.
However, the Chinese army did not fly them in one go. Originally, according to the plan of the General Staff, as long as the Chinese army used all its strength, the fighting could be ended in August. The reality is that by the end of November, the Chinese army had only conquered the defended Canberra, which was still more than 200 kilometers away from Sydney, the last major city in Australia's hands. If it hadn't been for their unconditional surrender yesterday, it is estimated that they would have been able to drag on until mid-December.
It's not that the plan of the General Staff is wrong, and it's not that the Chinese army can't end the fighting in August, but Wen Desi has other plans, and the reason has already been said. Anyway, China's three group armies, just so unhurried, fought steadily all the way, leaving time for Australia to fully mobilize, and then waiting for the Australian government to continue to send these recruits to brush their heads.
Well, in general, it is the Chinese army that regards this large artesian basin as a place to brush people's heads and experience.
Anyone who knows a little about the history of World War II knows that the Australian and New Zealand barbarians are very brave, especially when defending their homeland, most of them are not afraid of death and have high morale. And Wen Deji also officially took advantage of this characteristic of theirs, giving them enough time to build up the army. Kill them when they send them in to brush their heads.
The original Australia suffered many casualties in World War I, so it had a population of only 6.5 million before the war. After a high-intensity war with China that lasted for more than half a year, the casualties rolled upward, and by the end of November, the number of casualties had exceeded 2 million, which means that on average, one in three people was killed or injured.
And at this time, the United States, which they had high hopes for, seemed to know nothing.
In the face of such a cruel reality, no matter how hawkish and white supremacy is, it can't stand it. So they surrendered decisively, and they really couldn't afford to fight.
Although they know that China is a civilized country and will not slaughter prisoners and surrenderers, the labor reform system and civilized schools are world-famous, and there are still tens of millions of labor reform personnel and civilized school students in China.
Of course, the white-skinned kangaroos must think that their civilized people will not be sent to civilized schools like those natives. But that labor reform is enough to choke. Especially those powerful and rich, they are even more panicked.
"We've surrendered, and as is customary, at least they're going to keep our lives safe......," Dr. Ivat smiled.
"Yes, life safety can be guaranteed, but it is only life ......safety," the chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General John Lavalak, sighed.
Everyone was silent, they all knew very well that the safety of property would definitely not be guaranteed, this was the spoils of the victors, and it would be good if the vanquished could save their lives, so what else could they expect?

Hankyung, presidential palace.
At this time, Wen Desi and others, who were far away in China, were also discussing how to deal with these people.
“...... At this point, the Australian-New Zealand-Malaysian War has ended. In this war, Australia has killed a total of 776,500 people and wounded 1,475,300. New Zealand had 171,200 deaths and 396,500 injuries. A total of 92,500 people were killed and 172,200 wounded. Our military and civilian population died 4,321 and wounded more than 19,600, some of them mine workers in New Caledonia and Western Australia. Deputy Chief of General Staff General Liu Yiqiang reported.
"How is New Caledonia in control?" asked Wendesi.
"It was completely controlled by us, and the French army on the island was less than 500 men, and they surrendered directly. It was the Anzac that had violent clashes with our miners on the island. By the time our reinforcements arrived, hundreds of people had already been killed and wounded. Liu Yiqiang replied.
So there are more than 5.72 million in Australia, more than 1.33 million in New Zealand and more than 1.32 million in Malaya. What will happen to the nearly 8.4 million people?" said Moon.
Zhang Lizheng said: "Let's still follow the old rules, anyone who directly participated in the war will be subjected to labor reform as a prisoner of war. In addition to this, all the indigenous people of Malaya were sent to civilized schools. As for those in Australia and New Zealand, hehe......"
