Chapter 873: Battle Plan for the Island

"Now is not the time for a decisive battle with the island's navy." Vice Admiral Andrew, the former commander-in-chief of the Navy and the current chief of staff of the General Staff, shook his head and objected: "

This is clearly not in line with our plans, and a quick defeat of the island nation is not a good thing for us at this time, and we have to face a much stronger Germany.

What's more, an Australasia that has defeated the island nation and mastered the hegemony of the entire Pacific Ocean will pose less threat to Britain and France than Germany?

In order not to worry our allies, let's play with the islanders for a while. ”

Although the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and the Chief of the General Staff of the General Staff are also at the rank of vice admiral, there are still some differences in status.

The military structure of Australasia is somewhat different from that of other countries. As an absolute monarchy, the army's primary target of allegiance was naturally Arthur.

As a result, the highest body of the military is the Ministry of Defense, which serves Arthur, rather than the staff or other agencies of other countries.

Secondly, regarding the navy, we also have a more detailed battle plan.

Hearing what Andrew said about the plan of the General Staff, General Daniel immediately calmed down.

Australasia can easily crush the island nation in terms of industry.

Of course, we will retaliate against the attacks of the islanders, and we will make the islanders bear a hundredfold of the losses.

Seeing that the success had attracted everyone's attention, Andrew smiled, took out a document, and then introduced: "

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest plan drawn up by the General Staff for attacking the island nation.

"Of course not." General Staff Andrew shook his head, looked at Arthur, and after getting a nod of agreement from Arthur, he continued: "

When both the island country and Australasia are producing at full capacity, for every 1 capital warship built by the island country, Australasia can also build at least 2.5 ships.

Of course, this is still very risky.

If the island nation wants to maintain a certain level of industry, in addition to grabbing ore from other countries, it can only pay high prices from farther away and waste more time to buy it.

Therefore, the first step is to quickly land in the Okinawa area of the island nation from the Philippines to the north.

But the problem is that Australasia's industrial scale far exceeds that of island countries, and the speed of building warships naturally far exceeds that of island countries.

This is also the reason why the country is constantly expanding outward. If they don't expand, they are destined to become the bottom of the great powers, and even weaker and weaker, and walk the altar of the lower powers.

The Navy's mission is to completely block the trade routes between the island countries and the Americas and Africa, and cut off the possibility of the island countries obtaining supplies from the outside world.

Of course, history is only a reference after all, not necessarily a standard answer.

In order to win this war, Britain will definitely make some concessions of interests. What Australasia is asking for is actually the land that is more important in these geographical locations, including the distribution of resources after the war.

The Minister of Defense, on the other hand, is similar to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the three services, which is the highest rank of all military positions and the highest rank of military rank.

"So what should we do? Didn't there be any reaction to this attack by the islanders? Navy Commander Daniel looked at the General Staff of Staff Andrew and asked.

As long as the eastward and southbound routes of the island nation are gradually blocked, this island nation on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean is destined to become an isolated island. ”

It was only after gaining some hegemony in the Far East that the island's industry began to grow rapidly. However, they also have to face a big problem, that is, the mineral resources of the island countries are very poor, which not only seriously restricts the industrial development of the island countries, but also makes the comprehensive national strength and potential of the island countries stay at the lower level of the great powers.

The closest to the mainland of the island nation is the Philippines, but there are still close to 1,700 kilometers away.

In fact, it is. Because of the shortcomings of its own mineral resources and petroleum materials, the island nation is a little unworthy of its name.

Second, Britain and France had to win, but Britain and France had to be consumed by Germany and Italy.

Among the promotions of senior officers, the Navy, Army and Air Force Officers will be promoted to Commander, and the Commander of the Armed Forces will be promoted to Chief of the General Staff.

Then, Australasia's plot in this war is understandable. After all, if Australasia cannot become a world hegemon after the end of this world war, it is not destined to be possible in the coming decades.

Even if the island country has a larger population in the great power class, in the eyes of the more powerful European powers, the island country is still only an Italian-level power with a so-so level.

First of all, it is necessary to strike a good balance between the two major military blocs of Britain, France, and Germany and Italy. Australasia has always been on the side of Britain and France, which also means that the victors of the war can only be Britain and France, not Germany and Italy.

This is one thing, and the other is the economic imbalance between the two sides.

But Australasia is different. Australasia's economy is not among the best among the powers, but the government's financial position is definitely relatively good.

Since the Second World War was the largest war in a hundred years, it was also the one that was most likely to change the situation in the world.

No matter what you do, you will never be able to change the fact that the island country has a small land area and poor mineral resources.

The so-called plan is actually to turn the war in Europe into an internal conflict between Britain, France, Germany and Italy through war with the island countries.

Moreover, Australasia itself has a large number of mineral resources and oil, and the cost of industrial construction is much lower than that of the island country.

But this also roughly shows that after the world's major countries have powerful nuclear weapons, those countries with other ambitions will also have to rein in their ambitions.

Obviously, such a long distance has a very significant impact on our battle plans.

Only by weakening the strength of the British and French, and especially the British, could Australasia gain more land, and in a more peaceful manner.

The longer this competition drags on for Australasia, the easier it will be for Australasia to win.

In the absence of the United States, Australasia, as the strongest player outside Europe, is clearly the biggest beneficiary in the case of internal friction in Europe.

Throughout world history, since the beginning of the Age of Sail, the change of world hegemons has often been accompanied by war.

Under the command of the Ministry of National Defense, there are four major departments, the Navy, Army and Air Force Command and the General Staff, as well as small departments such as the Logistics Department.

According to historical experience, in the nearly 100 years after the end of this war, there will hardly be a war of too large a scale.

This also limits the fact that it is impossible for the island's industry to grow to a larger scale, because they simply do not have any raw materials.

The hegemony of the British Empire has been maintained for nearly a hundred years, and the British naturally do not want to see Britain become an ordinary great power country, even if it is Australasia that becomes the new world hegemon, which has almost the same roots as Britain, and even the royal family is originally a family.

It is almost impossible to become a world hegemon by peaceful means, after all, no country wants to see itself slowly step down from the altar.

This also means that the aircraft we deploy in the Okinawa area can easily harass the mainland areas of the island nation.

After all, you can search or even exterminate a country because it suspects it has nuclear weapons, but you will never search for a country because it has nuclear weapons.

It can also be seen from Australasia's battle plan against the island nation that the army did not attach much importance to the island country, the so-called great power country.

With such a large army and warships, the island country is indispensable to the dilemma of tightening their belts and getting by.

The island nation is the country that cannot be dragged out the most. The island's only hope of victory is to win a naval battle, and then gradually blockade Australasia proper, conquering Australasia's overseas territories one by one.

Suspicion and truth are two outcomes at the diplomatic level.

But the time for revenge is not now, and now we have other plans. ”

But at that time, the opponent was only the Russian army in the Far East, not all of Russia, and the island countries still took a big advantage.

According to the current situation, the main sources of goods obtained by island countries are, in addition to the Asian continent, basically the Americas and Africa.

As long as Europe weakened, Australasia could acquire a large European heritage and gain the opportunity to seize world hegemony.

At least in the face of large-scale wars for the survival of the nation, these lands are not as important.

Because our allies (the Philippines, Kalimantan, the United Kingdom of the West Coast, California) have declared war on the island nations, we can raise a huge army of more than 1.5 million in a short period of time.

Judging from the current combat effectiveness of the British and French armies, it is difficult to achieve this goal.

The northernmost tip of Okinawa is only about 300 kilometers from the mainland of the island nation, and even some of the closer islands are less than 500 kilometers round trip.

Places like the British's Straits Settlements, the Chagos Archipelago in the center of the Indian Ocean, and Mauritius in the western Indian Ocean are also less important to the British.

The island nation lacks sufficient supplies, and their attacks will become even more frenzied. Once their offense descends into the ultimate madness, we will have a better chance of winning.

In addition, some islands in the Pacific Ocean, where there are not many garrisons, are also in our first step of the plan to conquer.

Therefore, the only way Australasia can become a world hegemon is to weaken Britain as much as possible in this war, so that the British themselves can realize that Britain is no longer strong.

Their main achievement as a great power was the defeat of part of the Russian army, which was then poorly prepared in the Far East.
