Chapter 465 Chinese Self-help Army
@@@@@@@@In Perth, the capital of Western Australia, Benjamin Ka stared at the flow of people holding big signs on the street and walking to the council hall and the governor's mansion. Somehow, a kind of worry suddenly surged up in his heart.
On the newsstand next to, the subtitle of "We Can't Be Neglected" is eye-catching. This slogan is now like a plague, sweeping the whole of Western Australia and North Australia.
This is not the slogan of the local Europeans, but the roar of the Chinese workers who have settled here for many years. In just a few days, they were incited by an invisible big hand, because they need to get the right to vote!
Jerminka doesn't know why those Chinese who look modest and weak like Queensland sheep suddenly become irritable. All he knows is that the whole northwest of Australia has fallen into chaos. Mines strike, railways are suspended, the police are all sent to the streets, and there were many fights yesterday. The beating conflict, but it still can't stop the sound.
In fact, Jemengka doesn't care that these people get out of the dirty and opium, cut off their braids, and dress neatly like themselves every day. Many Chinese workers who can speak fluent English begin to get the rights they deserve, but those big people obviously don't think so.
There are more than 500,000 Chinese living in the two autonomous regions in northwest Australia. Although most of them are usually busy in industry and mining, they have actually deeply affected the lives of the original residents, exquisite food, living habits from China and some strange festivals. But it is because of these things that those bigwigs are worried that they will be controlled by the Chinese and eventually submerged.
Such worries have been heard of by many people, but as long as life is not disturbed, he does not want to care about these things, because Australia is too big. Western Australia alone can accommodate millions of residents, but in fact, there are only 400,000 people here, and North Australia is only 200,000.
The two territories in the past are only synonymous with barbarism in the hearts of Australians. Only people like him have no choice but to come here. However, with the increasing scale of ore export industry here, the economic scale here even exceeds that of South Australia and Tasmania, even compared with Queensland and New Wales. It's not much worse, and it doesn't count the ore transferred from other places by those big companies.
Jerminka took a deep breath and continued to walk forward with all his thoughts. Instead of going to protest, he was going to the bar next to the city hall to sit down.
Shuttle through the crowd, Jemengka greeted everyone he knew, both locals and Chinese neighbors who had only come in the past few years. When he walked to the most famous bar in Perth with a wooden sign hanging at the door with a large wine glass engraved on it, he only heard a bang, and the Chinese team demonstrating was like The swarm exploded like a swarm.
No one knew what had happened until there was a bang of shooting in front of him again. Jeminka's face suddenly darkened. He quickly climbed up to the roof and saw a team of armed soldiers shooting at the unarmed Chinese on the demonstration in the municipal hall and the adjacent governor's mansion. Blood was everywhere. Bu Siye!
"There will be no more peace in Western Australia!"
Jerminka stared at the fallen Chinese workers in a daze, and the corners of his mouths said to himself. The smell of choking smoke drifting with the wind and the crowds everywhere made the whole city of Perth in turmoil. At that moment, he seemed to see the war beginning to spread on the land of Western Australia.
But he didn't know that on the roof of a five-story building farther away, Huo Zheng's eyes were almost congested, and his fists were pinched tightly. If it hadn't been for the explanation, he would have taken his brothers and foreigners to fight desperately.
"Brother Huo, do you think I'm too bad? Do you care too much about other people's lives? After Shen Jun lowered his hand and handed the telescope to the intelligence officer behind him, he turned his head and looked at the leader of Hongmen who came out of the American court.
Huo Zheng didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't know how to answer this question. The gunfire in the distance had gradually dissipated, and a corpse that fell into a pool of blood had said everything. He knew very well that the riots and demonstrations were planned by this man, but he didn't expect this situation to happen.
People die like smoke, and no matter what they say, they can't save those living lives. Although he can't tell the reason for the decision of this cold man, he is very clear that if there is no bloodshed and no conflict, the Chinese may be bullied by foreigners in their lives!
As the emperor said, there has never been a reason in the white world. Whoever has a big fist is the reason!
From Japan to Spain, from France to Russia, to Britain and the United States, the emperor has actually been using unreasonable means to reason with them. On this road, tens of thousands of soldiers gave their lives, and the blood stained today's blood cloud dragon flag and made the Chinese straighten their back.
The bloodshed in front of us is not worth mentioning compared with the long-term stability in the future!
Seeing that Huo Zheng's fist slowly relaxed, Shen Jun smiled at the corners of his mouth. Hongmen is an ancient gang in China. They are neither good nor bad, but they are the leaders of the Chinese overseas, just like the American court in San Francisco at this moment. Before the start, they had actually been silently playing the role of overseas Chinese protectors.
Today, this ancient sect has almost been split by the emperor, and most of the remaining American court has also moved to this new land, and the role as a protector continues.
Now, these guardians should also do their best, "Brother Huo, it's up to you next!"
"Brother Shen, please reply to the emperor. As long as my Hongmen is here for one day, this is the happy land of my Chinese!" Huo Zheng nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled by Shen Jun. He took out a revolver from his waist and handed it over. "The national art can strengthen the body, but the times are different!"
"Ha ha, Brother Shen, don't worry, I still know this!" After saying that, after taking the pistol, he quickly left the building with his men.
Seeing Huo Zheng leave, Shen Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the emperor's move is not very good. If he is himself, he will definitely send troops directly, but this can't be blamed on China. After all, Xinhua has made a lot of enemies at present, and it should not be too offended by the United Kingdom and the United States at this time, so he can let the Chinese here make trouble by himself. Take the initiative.
It's just that some people have to be cleared!
"The Australian soldier who shot first?"
"Sar, don't worry, you have sent someone to do it, and it will be disguised as a conflict to death!" The men said immediately.
Shen Jun nodded. Australia is not a fool. As long as he can control the situation, he will not shoot, so he used some small means to let them shoot first to provoke the conflict. He knows very well that soldiers are brave. After one person shoots, others will definitely follow, so the guy who shoots first can no longer stay. !
"Notice the aardine that from now on, any soldiers and political axe officials in Western Australia and Northern Australia can be fully assassinated!" After Shen Jun gave the order, he didn't wait for his men to answer, and then asked, "Has the arms ship arrived?"
"It has arrived in Darwin."
"Then send it as soon as possible and arm yourself. There is no need to wait now. In addition, inform Thomas and Mr. Slo that I need their full cooperation!"
"Yes!"
On August 1, 1907, a serious shooting occurred in Perth, the capital of Western Australia. More than 10,000 local Chinese workers were suppressed by the Western Australian army when they demanded equal treatment, and more than 170 people fell into a pool of blood.
Originally, this matter did not attract the attention of the world, but as the Chinese workers burned the local mine machinery and blocked the harbor to ban ships from entering and leaving, the situation became tense.
Although the Governor of Western Australia repeatedly defended the shooting as a pure accident, the lack of any evidence angered more Chinese and eventually turned into a bloody conflict.
On August 3, when tens of thousands of Chinese workers carrying the bodies of the victims surrounded the Governor-General's Office of Perth and the parliamentary building and asked the Western Australian political axe to hand over the murderer, the gunfire sounded again, but this time the Chinese workers who had been prepared for a long time immediately fought back with pistols.
On August 4, Chinese workers from all over Western Australia and North Australia responded one after another to protest against the atrocities of the Australian political axe. At the same time, 20,000 Mosingana rifles, tens of thousands of grenades and revolvers were sent to Huo Zheng along the newly opened Darwin-Perth railway line, causing him to quickly pull up a nearly 10,000 people. Armed.
After receiving armed support, Huo Zheng immediately issued a declaration of Chinese workers' self-help in Perth, announcing that he would form an Australian Chinese self-help army to ensure the safety of local Chinese workers. At the same time, he announced that he would take over the two political axes and expel those white phans.
Darwin, the capital of Northern Australia, was almost completely destroyed in the recent local riots, so only a few thousand white people were almost effortlessly expelled from Darwin, and 30,000 white people in the whole Northern Australian Dominion were expelled in just ten days.
But Western Australia is different. There are more white people in Western Australia, and Perth has always been managed by the local political axe, so Huo Zheng's declaration immediately led to a war.
On August 7, the first large-scale conflict between the newly armed Chinese Australian self-help army in Narokin, south of Perth, and the Western Australian army. Although there were only 1,000 people in the Western Australian army, the self-help army was just armed and lacked enough experience, and 2,000 people were quickly dispersed.
But just when the Western Australian army thought it could easily control the situation, Narokin's thousand garrisons were attacked again, and this time it was not so easy. After they fought bitterly with the mysterious enemy in the night all night and lost nearly 60%, they encountered 3,000 self-help troops the next morning. After a fierce siege, all 1,000 people were killed in the end.
After the news reached Perth, the Governor of Western Australia asked for help from several southeastern states with little consideration.
On August 10, the newly formed Commonwealth of Australia announced that it would send 5,000 soldiers from Melbourne to Perth to quell the rebellion. However, when the first two troop carriers had just sailed out of Sydney Harbour for less than five nautical miles, the troop carrier suddenly exploded. 1,500 soldiers escaped less than 400, and the rest were all Buried in the sea.
When the two troop carriers sank quickly with black smoke on the sea, all Australians realized that this was not a riot, but a war!
On August 11, the Chinese self-help army, who returned from Narokin, arrived in Perth. The governor and the remaining hundreds of soldiers knew that they were invincible and immediately disarmed and surrendered.
On August 12, when 10,000 white people in Western Australia, including the governor of Western Australia, were declared unwelcome and expelled, Huo Zheng announced that Western Australia and North Australia would be temporarily taken over by the Chinese Self-help Army. At the same time, he said that he would not point guns at innocent white people, nor would they continue to strike and boycott mines. They could continue to live here. Live and invest, and their lives will not be disturbed.
Although the declaration said that it would not embarrass white people, after the governor left, a full 30,000 white people fled along the railway line to South Australia.
In just a few days, the beacon smoke rose everywhere in the northwest of Australia, and news of riots and deaths kept coming from all over the country, making the newly established Australian political axe unable to sit still. In order to stabilize the situation, the Australian political axe decided to use the navy!
On August 20, Perth City was shelled by two Australian naval cruisers. The shells suddenly roared from the sea, causing at least 2,000 Chinese to die and injuring. The news immediately escalate the conflict and shocked the whole world!
Just one day later, Xinhua Zheng Axe took the lead in breaking the silence, announcing that it would send warships to patrol northwest Australia to ensure that the legitimate interests of the Chinese in Australia were not harmed, and strongly condemned the Australian navy's shelling of Perth.
At the same time, Australian diplomats in China were expelled, Xinhua announced the indefinite suspension of diplomatic relations with Australia, and began to recall ambassadors and diplomats in Australia.
Suddenly, there was tension in the Pacific Ocean. When the eyes of the world began to slowly gather here, the Australian political axe panicked.
Although the Australian Navy is also one of the strongest fleets in the region, compared with the successful Xinhua Royal Navy, several cruisers obtained from the British Navy could not be taken at all, so in the face of huge military pressure, they began to turn to the British political axe.
But at this time, the accident happened again. Just as the British Parliament began to discuss whether to support Australia and send more warships there, the German political axe suddenly announced the construction of five new Caesar-class battleships.
At the same time, William II said during his visit to Munich that he personally supported the self-help operation of the Chinese in Australia, and was willing to send the German Far East Fleet stationed in Sasebo to Australia as an observer to ensure that the local Chinese were not subject to shelled by the Australian navy.
As soon as this statement came out, the world was in an uproar!
Although the German political axe said the next day that William II's words were only his personal opinion, the whole Britain still shelled the unobstructed emperor and said that if the German [***] ship entered Australia, it would be a challenge to the British Empire!
At the same time, the construction budget of the five Caesar-class battleships once again deeply stimulated Britain. For this reason, Britain decided to build a brand-new first-class battleship and continue to maintain its absolute advantage over Germany's capital ships.
On August 30, the British Navy decided to send a fleet to Australia to maintain local security. Under this order, three Edgar-class first-class protective cruisers and four Light-class second-class protective cruisers set off from Portsmouth Harbor. They will turn into a British cruiser in Australia to ensure that Australia The sea area is safe.
With the news of the departure of the British cruiser fleet, the world's eyes came to the Pacific Ocean earlier, and even the British-German shipbuilding competition in full swing has temporarily forgotten
