Commander Christie was right. All Filipino and Kalimantan soldiers were indeed served a warm, excellent steak and white bread that day.

The next day there was indeed an even more difficult war, which could be called an all-out offensive.

The first day's attack was only a tentative, and the Australasian side sent less than 10,000 troops in total, and the final losses were also very large, with less than a tenth of the people evacuated.

And the next day, the Australasian army could almost be said to be in full force.

Because yesterday a lot of the island's defensive positions have been removed, today's attack is still the Philippine and Kalimantan troops, and more than 30,000 people have been sent at once.

The attack is no longer limited to one main island, but is launched against all the surrounding islands.

The first disadvantage of an all-out offensive is the increasing number of casualties.

Arthur is also closely monitoring the situation in Europe.

But there are results.

But if the French had held out, the situation in Europe would have been very different.

Sensing the crisis, Luxembourg also announced its membership in the Quadruple Alliance the next day.

Once the British were in control of the Netherlands, they were able to cross the Channel and constantly transport large numbers of soldiers to stop the German attack.

The Belgian government quickly abandoned everything, and fled south to France, where it took a ship to London, taking with it a number of government officials and many important documents.

In the same way, Germany and Italy signed a military treaty, which is where the name of the Entente comes from.

When Australasia was not in a hurry and carried out its own plans, Europe on the other side of the world was also in deep trouble at this time.

Although the names are the same, the main countries of the two major military blocs have been completely replaced.

In just over two hours, at least 6,000 indigenous soldiers were killed or wounded, and more than half of them died.

It can also be seen from the map that the German army, which penetrated deep into the border between Belgium and France, was easily surrounded by the army in the rear of the Netherlands.

With Germany in control of the Netherlands, it had the means to threaten Britain's southern coastline. German planes, if they took off from the territory of the Netherlands, could bomb most of Britain.

The Franco-Austrian alliance, the Anglo-Australian alliance, and the Anglo-French alliance jointly determined the name of this military bloc.

The military alliance of Britain, France, Austria and Australia is known as the Allied Powers.

Secondly, the Philippine army is okay, the Kalimantan army is almost entirely composed of natives, which also means that the Kalimantan army does not have large-caliber artillery.

After the defeat of Belgium, Germany had successfully become the only neighbor of the Netherlands on the European continent.

But from this moment on, there have been more and more European countries choosing to join the two sides, and the two major military forces have also had their own members.

This makes the current situation in Europe even more intense. On the whole, Europe was still a war between Britain, France, Austria and Germany and Italy.

These small islands served as the first front line of the Ryukyu Islands, and the number of troops deployed was certainly not too large.

In just one day, the troops of the Philippines and Kalimantan suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Even the death toll has exceeded 10,000, and the number of injured is close to 20,000.

The second is to let the Kalimantan army experience such a brutal war and let them accept the baptism of war.

If France, as it has historically done, even to create the myth that the enemy will never be able to conquer Paris before France surrenders, then Arthur has nothing to say.

Even if the Austrian Empire was defeated, it would not have had a great impact on the overall situation. After all, Germany, which unified most of Europe, was destined to make the Russians unable to sleep and eat well.

On 27 June, the last Belgian city, Kortrijk, was breached by German troops. More than 100,000 German troops entered Kortrijk, officially announcing the occupation of Belgium by Germany.

Like the Allied Allies in World War I, the so-called World War II naturally had its own military bloc codename.

The main Allied powers in World War I were Britain, France, and Australia, but in World War II they became Germany and Italy.

On the day of the declaration of war, the Dutch government, under the orders of Queen Wilhelmina, directly joined the Anglo-French-Austrian-Australian alliance.

But the problem was that the German Empire at this time was clearly not under the control of Wilhelm II. It is no exaggeration to say that Wilhelm II had no control over Germany at this time, and he was only a German emperor with no name.

One of the purposes of Commander Christie's purpose in doing this is to train the fighting power of the Philippine army and make the Philippine army an important assistant to the Australasian army.

After the complete defeat of Belgium, France would face the pressure of the German army alone. Even with the help of a part of the British army, it could not change the situation of the war in a short time.

Although relations between the Netherlands and Germany were relatively good during World War I, even Wilhelm II chose to take refuge in the Netherlands when he fled.

Kalimantan, in particular, is itself an army composed of natives, and the overall discipline is very poor, and the combat effectiveness that erupts is completely unguaranteed.

Then, in the afternoon, the situation repeated itself.

When the island army is defeated in the future and the expedition to Europe is made, these indigenous armies that have experienced major wars will be able to play a greater role in the European battlefield.

This also means that whether France can hold out for a period of time will directly determine the development of the situation in Europe.

The main countries of the Allies in World War I were Germany and the Austrian Empire, but in World War II they became Britain, France and Australia.

First of all, the small islands around the main island, almost all of which have been captured.

There is no way, the current combat effectiveness of the German army is too terrible, which makes it not so safe in France.

At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, after nearly four hours of fierce attack, Commander Christie looked at his watch, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It should be almost, let the soldiers take a breath, before our reinforcements arrive, it is not the time to consume a large number of indigenous soldiers." ”

But the so-called cannon fodder troops in the Philippines and Kalimantan cannot guarantee their combat effectiveness.

From the actions of Commander Christie, it can be seen that the purpose of Australasia is actually to hone the combat effectiveness of the Philippine and Kalimantan armies through this landing battle.

And what about the casualties inflicted on the island's army by these Kalimantan and Philippine troops? Almost minimal.

Once Britain and France were weakened, the two countries that were most capable of competing for world supremacy were Australasia and Russia.

Although Australasia has the upper hand in the competition between the two countries, if Russia is not weakened too much, it is likely to develop a situation of polarization as it has historically.

Doing so would ensure that the Kalimantan army would at least remain stable in the face of a similar brutal war, and not fight for the sake of the enemy's chances.

In addition to wanting to consume the strength of Britain and France as much as possible in World War II, Arthur also had a plan to try to make Germany and Russia internally attribution.

It can't be helped, the location of the Netherlands is as important to Germany as it is to the UK.

In Australasia's plan, the entire operation against the island nation will become the biggest grind for the Philippine and Kalimantan armies.

In order to secure its own front, and also to avoid the threat posed by the geographical location of the Netherlands, Germany declared war on the Kingdom of the Netherlands on June 28, 1936, the day after the full occupation of the proportion.

The combat effectiveness of the Australasian army is still somewhat guaranteed. After all, the annual military expenditure is also a huge amount, and with a sufficient military budget, Australasian soldiers are at least qualified, not to mention elite.

However, before attacking France in full force, the German staff also had other ideas about several surrounding countries.

It can also be seen from the map that the territory of Germany has tended to be rectangular, and the northwest seems to have been gnawed by the Netherlands, leaving a large gap like the Netherlands.

More importantly, along with the German attack on Belgium, the Netherlands also had the intention of turning to the British.

In fact, if Commander Christie had ordered the Philippine and Kalimantan armies to attack with all their might, the results of these two days would not have been to conquer only the surrounding islands.

If the declaration of war on Belgium required a certain pretext, then when war was declared on the Netherlands, Germany had no more pretense.

Although the island's army has nearly 100,000 troops in the Ryukyu Islands, most of them must be deployed on the more important islands.

The reason is also very simple, the main factor of the four countries that make up this military alliance is the alliance treaty between them.

Germany, which had successfully captured the entire territory of Belgium, was already confident at this time. In addition, the army of the island country has successfully delayed Australasia, which made the German staff confidently express to the German government the idea of attacking France in three months.

But the problem is that Captain Christie, or the Australasian government behind it, clearly has no intention of conquering the Ryukyu Islands as soon as possible.

No matter how their respective members changed, the main situation in Europe in World War I and World War II was also the same as that of Britain and France against Germany.

Well, coincidentally, the two major military blocs of World War II are still named the Allied and Entente powers.

What's more, in addition to the coast of the Netherlands, Germany could be said to have completely encircled the Netherlands.

The military bloc formed by Germany and Italy was called the Entente.

If we look at this trend, the 300,000 men commanded by Commander Christie can only hold out for more than half a month.

First of all, in the battle of beach-grabbing landing, it is undoubtedly difficult to transport artillery under the nose of the enemy, and to move and fire it.

Arthur didn't want to see that. At best, both Britain, France, and Russia were greatly weakened in the war, and Australasia became the only natural world hegemon, inheriting most of the British legacy.
