c748 Scramble for Australia
Chapter 165 Battle for Australia
Since the Bunitalia Empire can see the strategic value of Area 11, why can’t Kelal see the strategic value of Australia?
Just as the Bunitalia Empire is gearing up to take back Area 11, they are also gearing up to capture Australia.
Australia has the best open-pit iron ore in the world, with almost no sulfur content. It is a mine that is envied and hated by China, which accounts for half of the sulfur content in iron ore and coal mines.
That is to say, we have now entered a civilized society, otherwise in a few years, Australians will not be killed by people from the Chinese Federation.
The Australians and the people of the Bunitalia Empire are white people of the same origin, so they do not have much resistance to the rule of the Bunitalia Empire, if they are not too far away from the Bunitalia Empire If they were native, they could even claim to be from the Bunitalia Empire.
For such a country that wholeheartedly surrenders to the Bunitalia Empire. If you want to capture it and successfully appease it, I’m afraid there will be some problems.
However, this did not hinder Keilar’s determination to win Australia. After taking Australia, the Bunitalia Empire no longer had any bridgehead in Asia. By then, if the Bunitalia Empire wants to compete with the Chinese Federation in Asia, it will have to fight a battle on the Pacific Ocean.
At that time, the Bunitalia Empire, which was still in the era of big cannon ships, was about to face the battle, and the EU had already begun to develop and produce aircraft carriers.
In fact, it is not realistic to start developing aircraft carriers from scratch now, but if it is just a modification. This kind of thing is extremely feasible.
For example, during World War II, the United States had a history of paving the decks of cargo ships and converting them into aircraft carriers.
Although the current warships and aircraft carriers cannot meet the technical requirements of Kailar. But being able to take off and land the P51 at the most basic level is already a mandatory requirement for an aircraft carrier.
Aircraft have only just begun, and it is too naive to expect the Bunitalia Empire to understand the power of aircraft carriers.
That is to say, the current production of aircraft carriers is not high, and it is still being improved while producing.
Otherwise, they would have sailed from the Atlantic Ocean to the mainland of the Bunitalia Empire. The true industrial Rust Belt of the Bunitalia Empire was bombed.
If the Hercules bomber is beyond the reach of the Bunitalia Empire, it can only reach the east coast. So Australia is simply a back garden for Hercules, he can come and leave whenever he wants.
This time there will be more than 800 Hercules transport aircraft. As mentioned earlier, the Chinese Federation’s production is sufficient because only 800 Hercules transport aircraft have been transformed into ground-attack bombers.
Most of the other Hercules transport aircraft are vacant.
After passing the last one. After the night attack on the Bunitalia Empire. Those new drivers led by old drivers can successfully become a new generation of drivers. Then proceed with the new driver.
In other words, there are a total of 1,600 aircraft performing the mission this time.
And these 1,600 planes are carrying 1,000 White Tigers.
Their mission this time was to land in Sydney. After capturing Sydney, they spread out in small groups to capture cities along the Australian coast.
Originally, the belly of the Hercules’ cabin had no way to accommodate the White Tiger, but in these modified Hercules, except for the nose, the entire belly has been hollowed out, leaving only the slot that can hold the White Tiger.
They have no problem transporting the White Tiger in terms of weight. So it only needs a little modification to become a perfect transport aircraft.
This kind of combat method was used by the Bunitalia Empire against the people in District 11 when they invaded District 11. The people in District 11 did not react at all and were instantly able to break through the defense line. The infrastructure facilities allowed the knightmare of the Bunitalia Empire to march straight in. The country perished within a few days.
But this time, Australia cannot escape the same fate as Area 11. More than landing in District 11, White Tiger has more powerful performance than Glasgow back then.
Among the 1,600 transport planes, a thousand White Tigers need to be transported. And then there it is. 600 transport planes have to be transported. Ten thousand infantry.
These 10,000 infantrymen will form a mixed formation with 1,000 White Tigers. They will complete the formation after landing in Sydney, and then move in all directions.
Of course, use local vehicles and driving tools. But there’s nothing strange about this.
The goal of this operation is to completely capture Australia within seven days, and then proceed to the next step of tactics.
To put it simply, it is a faster blitzkrieg than Guderian’s blitzkrieg.
The productivity on the east coast of the Bunitalia Empire was destroyed, and Schneizel and Cornelia were trapped in India. When the Bunitalia Empire had no time to care, it blossomed in all directions, beating the Bunitalia Empire into confusion.
After cutting off the connection between the Bunitalia Empire and several colonies and pushing the battlefield to the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, the real hard battle began.
But now you can still rely on your own ingenuity and strategy to cut off the tentacles of the Bunitalia Empire, completely cut off the Bunitalia Empire’s infusion tube, and trap the Bunitalia Empire in a land called America. in the isolated island.
This is all that the wise man Keilal can do.
The 1,600 transport aircraft are almost all the Hercules transport aircraft of the Chinese Federation. And the drivers inside are almost all drivers from the Chinese Federation. They come directly from. Area 11 took off and flew towards Australia.
These transport planes do not only have one mission, they must ensure that they can deliver 4,000 to 40,000 White Tigers and infantry to the Australian mainland 3 to 4 times a day.
This is actually not too much, but it is a severe test for these crew members. After all, they have never performed such a high-intensity mission. It is also a very harsh test for the entire control tower and command system.
If there is any confusion, the entire battlefield will become a mess. Although their communication system is the best on the planet, their command is by no means the same.
After completing the Pearl Harbor operation, Kelal did not make any comments on their command system and staff system, but asked them to start learning on their own how to command airborne regiments and transport aircraft.
No matter what, war always makes people grow up quickly, whether it is these pilots, these still immature commanders, or these chiefs of staff who are trying to adapt to the new way of warfare, or they are working hard to learn and improve. His own generalissimo Li Xingke. In this world-level war, they worked hard to improve themselves and tried hard to keep up with Keilal.
As for the Bunitalia Empire, a very serious meeting was being held. The emperor and the noble officials gathered together and were intensely discussing the necessity of this war.
For those nobles, the war was lost.
