Chapter 704 Pershing, I wrote it down
Sydney, Australia.
The wide port of Jackson still has traces of the battle. The cruisers left by several Australian fleets hang their barrel, and there is no more prestige. More than a dozen old-fashioned cargo ships, some of which are docked in a mess. The Japanese and North Korean flags hanging on the mast prove their identity, and Compared with the big brother of Asia's large ocean-going merchant ships, they are obviously much more shabby.
But even so, it can't hide the excitement of these boatmen from afar. It's very simple. Xinhua has contracted all the work of the captured soldiers and Australians to New Zealand.
Originally, many domestic shipowners wanted to intervene in this matter. After all, the transportation of millions of people was not a small business, but after careful study, the Army Department still handed it over to me, because the lackeys had to play the role of running dogs.
Of course, the Ministry of Finance was unwilling to touch this matter, so it was asked the army to solve it by itself. Finally, with the consent of the General Staff, Zhao Long gave the captured 7 cruisers, 23 destroyers, and nearly 100 torpedo boats and gunboats to the shipping companies of the two countries as compensation.
Shipping companies want warships to be useless, but the political axes of the two countries are useful. They immediately acquired these warships and paid the transportation costs to the shipping company. Although these cruisers and destroyers are a little old, they can be used immediately, especially destroyers and torpedo boats. For the newly acquired large number of islands, they are still surprised. When it comes to the two countries of New Zealand's trusteeship, it is simply a timely rain.
So the soldiers and boatmen of the two countries at work at this moment are particularly energetic, and even take the initiative to follow the Xinhua soldiers to knock door-to-door to forcibly transport the Australians who supported the war to New Zealand.
As many as four or fifty thousand soldiers and boatmen from the two countries with red eyes really helped a lot. With these hungry wolf-like guys opening the way, the dispatch efficiency has increased several times.
The British's behavior of taking Indian Asan and Gurkha soldiers as cannon fodder is much worse than that of the two watchdogs of Emperor Li's family. Let's not talk about combat effectiveness, this kind of diligent efficiency alone is enough to make the world powers jealous.
And the first to leave were naturally the soldiers who gave up their weapons.
On the dock, a team of U.S. soldiers who put down their weapons lowered their heads, frustrated, and their eyes were numb. The cold bayonets on both sides and machine guns behind the bunker told them that as long as there was any abnormal movement, they were smashed to pieces.
However, some soldiers' eyes were still full of anger, because they found that the machine guns used by the Japanese soldiers who pretended to be powerful were actually brought by them!
"Ha ha, this time Japan and North Korea have made a small fortune." Huangbuqi curled his lips and gave the trophy he had worked hard to give to the dynasty. It was really a little uncomfortable. The seven cruisers alone were worth more than a million pounds.
Zhao Long shook his head with a smile. He didn't know Huangfuqi's resentment and saw that the war in the United States was about to start, but he, the commander-in-chief of the Central South War Zone and more than a million soldiers here, must continue to be stationed here to help Zhong Wenyao and Yan Fu maintain stability and carry out the advance work before the arrival of immigration.
What made Huang Fuqi more distressed was that the emperor also gave him a "major task" to manage the local garrison, strictly prohibit the destruction of the local ecological environment, prohibit the large-scale killing of unique kangaroos and other animals, and also asked him to find out if the thylacons survived!
How can I find this!
For this matter, Huang Fuqi took the trouble to ask the following to inquire, but he asked nearly 10,000 Australians, and they all said that they had not seen it for decades, which really gave him a headache.
By the way, he has never understood the strange idea of the emperor before. Many similar laws such as the Wildlife Protection Law and the Forest Water and Soil Protection Law passed in China over the years are strange. Moreover, the emperor also hired a large number of Nanyang indigenous people to plant trees, but now he seems to understand a little. During this period, tens of thousands of kangaroos and other animals were killed by soldiers. If it goes on like this, it will gnaw Australia sooner or later!
Now that Australia has returned to Xinhua, it will be merged into the country sooner or later. Naturally, he can't do this kind of killing chickens and taking eggs, so he also issued a special military order to restrain the soldiers.
"How many bones do you need to raise a dog? What's more, he is an ally. Besides, we have got a lot this time."
Chen Ping smiled and said that he was not as thoughtful as Huang Fuqi. The Japanese dynasty was indeed a great harvest. Just such a large number of islands in French Polynesia and Fiji in the east were enough for them to work, not to mention the trusteeship of New Zealand. If they used well, it was not impossible to get a hard ticket.
However, Xinhua got more. Apart from the land of Nouméa and Australia, as many as 1.7 million rifles were captured, 780 cannons, 2,300 machine guns, 110 tanks, more than 5,600 trucks, and countless ammunitions, finishing the good things that Britain and the United States have supported Australia over the years. It's all in one place, and what's more gratifying is that 272 tons of gold were found in the temporary government axe vault, and this alone is all.
It's not without gains at sea. Although it gave up warships and only intercepted a few British W-class destroyers equipped with steam turbines, those old night ships could no longer enhance their naval strength. Instead, Britain and the United States had been blocked by submarines in several seaports after the last fleet that arrived before Australia was blocked. In addition, there are more than 100 local ships in Australia, especially the 47 large ocean-going ships in that fleet, which is of great help to Xinhua, which is preparing to land in short of maritime transportation.
"Wo."
A sound of collapse sounded from a distance. The three of them saw a residential house built in a remote place on the dock fall down, which made Huang Fuqi jump up and scold, "Here we go again!" However, Zhao Long and Chen Ping seemed to be not angry with this kind of thing. They smiled and said, "Forget it, as long as the public facilities are not destroyed, the private property will be disposed of by them."
Huangfu was angry, but there was nothing he could do. These Australians were stubborn and had to demolish their houses when they left, saying that they would not leave them for the enemy. If it hadn't been for the upper limit of interference, maybe they would have to kill a group of them recently to relieve their anger.
"Let them go. As long as they are willing to leave, this is a small matter."
Hearing the Chief of Staff say so, Huang Fuqi can only suppress his anger. To be honest, it is impossible for a total of more than one million soldiers to be transported from Australia and Nouméa to New Zealand without resistance. The remaining ordinary Australians will not be willing to let them have a channel to vent, which can indeed reduce the numbness of soldiers. Annoying.
The war is over. Even if they are given weapons, the soldiers have no intention to fight again, but there is still a lot of trouble for people to migrate. Australia has a vast land. If someone lets it drill inside, it can't be found for several years, so there is still a long way to rebuild in the future.
But it's finally a good start.
Soon, Huang Fuqi's attention turned to the upcoming war in the United States and asked, "Chief of Staff, is Mexico really ready to join us? Why don't you let me lead my troops to Mexico, give me the weapons seized here, and make sure to advance to Texas.
"Is your hand itchy?"
Seeing that Huang Fuqi was already happy, Chen Ping waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple. What can we do even if Mexico joins us? Even if you give them all the weapons here, it will be useless in a year and a half. What's more, the population and depth of the United States are too big, and this battle will not end in a year and a half!
The Russian Civil War officially began. Our 1 million garrison in the northwest can no longer move, 300,000 in the Arab side can't move, and the 500,000 in Singapore and Ceylon can't be transferred, so you have become our only strategic reserve team here!
I have taken care of the country. The National Guard and the police will be transferred as soon as possible, and the Coast Guard will soon arrive to take over the naval defense patrol work. Therefore, while helping Lord Zhong and Lord Yan stabilize Australia and speeding up the migration, you must strictly do a good job in troop training and never relax!"
"The United States can't be beaten in a day or two. If we could settle down here earlier, our strength would have been increased!" Zhao Long also said.
Huang Fuqi is also an old-qualified officer. It is the first time he has seen Chen Ping and Zhao Long's expressions so serious. It can be seen that they are also very cautious about the war after landing in the United States, and they also use nearly 1.5 million troops in the whole Central and South Theater as strategic reserves!
Although it is impossible to return to the front line immediately, Huang Fuqi also understands that Australia's population is scattered, and the people's resistance is very strong. If you want to complete all the migration work, it is impossible to not have enough soldiers and deterrence, and it will take at least half a year, so the Chief of General Staff will personally supervise the formation and accelerate the migration work. OK.
"Chief of Staff, Commander, don't worry, I promise to give the emperor a clean Australia within half a year!" While Huang Fuqi saluted and promised, a hurried figure also appeared in the distance.
"Report, this is the information just received." Jiang Tianxiu, who accompanied him, ran over breathlessly, handed the telegram to Chen Ping, and reported, "The 12 U.S. troops stationed in Colorado and New Mexico began to mobilize last night. According to preliminary analysis, it is likely to be deployed to the Mexican border."
The garrison of New Mexico and Colorado is a second-line reserve for the defense of the West Coast of the United States, with a total of 25 divisions and about 1.2 million troops, and now half of them will be sent to the Mexican border, indicating that the United States has begun to worry about Mexico's participation in the war.
"There is another message."
Jiang Tianxiu continued: "Last night, a total of 37 British support fleets and US [***] ships stationed in Miami have all left. In addition, about 150,000 troops stationed in Puerto Rico who were originally intended to be put into Panama have also left in the past two days, but our intelligence officers in Panama do I don't think any reinforcements have arrived at the port of San Lorenzo in the past two days!"
"Oh?!"
Chen Ping waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately spread out the map he carried with him. When he found the location of Puerto Rico, even Zhao Long suddenly understood.
"Penshing! I wrote it down."
