Lin'an, the former capital of the Chu State.

Since the fall of the Chu State and the disintegration of the merchant council, it has been a different landscape under the rule of the imperial court for several years.

Different from the prosperity of the past, the prosperity of Lin'an now reveals the atmosphere of industry everywhere.

In recent years, local businessmen in Lin'an have gone to Qingzhou to purchase machinery and equipment and technology, and in a short period of time, most of Qingzhou's goods have been able to produce independently, and then, there are more industrial products on the market.

"Riesling, the third division is assembled and ready to go."

On the Lin'an wharf, Shi Liu Hongzhi, commander of the Southeast Military Region, gave a military salute to Lei Ming, and at the same time reported on the assembly of troops.

Five days earlier they had received an order from the General Staff to attack Australia in the south, followed by other maritime islands in the South Seas.

After receiving this order, the whole army of the Southeast Military Region was in high spirits, this was the first time that the empire used troops abroad after the military reform, and the generals wanted to make a name for themselves in this war.

In addition, the equipment of the machine gun also gave the generals full confidence.

"Board the ship!"

Lei Ming looked at the battleship in Lin'an Port and said loudly, this time the General Staff handed over the war in Nanyang to full authority, he did not dare to be careless, and this time he was going to go to Australia with the soldiers to personally supervise the war.

After all, now that the national chaos has long been pacified, the Southeast Military Region he is in charge of is even more idle, he fought the battlefield, and he was the most impatient with this kind of leisure, so he decided to let Liu Hongzhi, the chief historian, stay to deal with the sundries, and lead the troops south.

"All aboard!"

As soon as the thunderous words fell, the generals quickly conveyed it, and soldiers wearing steel helmets, carrying Han-style rifles and carrying machine guns boarded the ship one after another.

And before the soldiers boarded the ship, one hundred and twenty guards guns had already been hoisted onto the ship.

Thunder's eyes swept over the soldiers who boarded the ship, with a deep pride in their eyes, this third division is the elite of the Southeast Military Region, and it once made great achievements in the Kwantung War.

Because of this, he distributed most of the Han-style rifles, machine guns and guards artillery rationed to the South-Eastern Military District.

And for this southward journey, he deliberately strengthened the Third Division, and the original 10,000 people were expanded to 12,000 people, and these soldiers used the latest equipment, which can be described as the elite of the elite in his hands.

After pausing for a while, Lei Ming and the officers who had gone to Australia boarded the battleship, and after six days of sailing to the roar of the steam warship, the fleet, including eight warships and twenty troop carriers, arrived off the coast of Wales, Australia.

On the battleship, Lei Ming was looking through binoculars at the beach in front of him, the appearance of the Imperial fleet had already attracted the attention of the British, and there were already British troops in red uniforms running back and forth on the beach, apparently preparing to deal with them.

"According to what we have learned, this Australia was formerly nothing more than a place where the British exiled prisoners, and most of the people living here were the descendants of convicts and some freedmen, and the British have always paid little attention to Australia because the indigenous people here are scarce and cannot provide them with sufficient economic profits."

Shi Yanjun, commander of the 3rd Division, reads intelligence about Australia.

Lei Ming already knew about Australia, and there were about 100,000 British people living here, with only a garrison of 3,000 people.

The Third Division is a bit overkill to deal with such an enemy, but their purpose is not only to destroy the British army, but more importantly, they have to escort the people of the Mineral Division to search for minerals here, and they will not put too much thought into a war without profit.

"Login!"

After a little thought, Lei Ming gave the order, after sailing at sea for so many days, the ship's supplies were consumed enormously, and the conditions did not allow him to continue waiting at sea.

What's more, timidity has never been his thunderous style, and in the Battle of Kanto, his command has always been known for its ferocity.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The order was given, and the eight battleships immediately opened fire on the beach, and before landing, they were to try to destroy the British batteries on the beach.

At the same time as they opened fire, the British batteries also began to counterattack, and one after another black shells flew towards their group of battleships, and the black shells fell into the sea water and exploded, splashing waves several meters high.

"Blossom Bomb!"

Seeing the way the shells exploded, he frowned deeply, and it was clear that the Battle of Dengzhou had made the British quickly equip themselves with shells capable of quickly sinking battleships.

Shi Yanjun's face was also a little ugly, and he said to the captain; "Retreat now, Riesling's safety is paramount!"

"Fart! I haven't withdrawn from the battlefield yet, keep fighting me! Lei Ming scolded angrily, his eyes were sharp, and the scene in front of him once again ignited his passion on the battlefield.

Shi Yanjun's scolded face was disgraced, and his thunderous and fanatical eyes made him helpless for a while, once he was on the battlefield, his boss seemed to be a different person.

On the coast, the British were secretly complaining, and after the Battle of Dengzhou, the British troops stationed in Australia had been worried that the Dayu Congress would come over.

And after the British sent a special batch of ammunition from home, their worries were even stronger, and the whole of Wales lived in a state of panic, and today what worried them finally happened.

"Lieutenant Alden, I've got you all the best lads in Wales, and we must keep our city no matter what." Kenneth, dressed in a black suit and top hat, spoke loudly to the blonde officer with a pipe in his mouth.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I will surround Wales with my life, this is our home." Alden drew his sword, "I will let these yellow-skinned pigs of the Great Yu Kingdom understand that we white people are a noble race, and they only deserve to be defeated by us." ”

"Good!" Kenneth laughed out loud, "Although we only have 100,000 people in Wales, but everyone has brave blood in their blood, and the politicians in London say that we are the offspring of crime, but only brave people will defy the law, right, boys, there will be no law today, this group of yellow pigs of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is at your disposal!" “

"Send them to the guillotine. '

"Cut off their heads!"

"Hang them and hang their corpses on the trees to feed the crows!"

“……”

The Welshmen behind Kenneth were noisy, dressed in plain English shirts and armed with a variety of weapons, but with a fierce look on their faces.

During this time, they had been practicing the situation of the attack of the Great Yu Kingdom, and when the Great Chongqing warships appeared, more than 8,000 young men and strong men immediately assembled, and 3,000 regular troops constituted the entire strength of Wales.
