883 We Do Our Best
The game of the country pays attention to the comprehensive layout.
Between countries, making others strong means that they are backward.
Britain and the United States, such big powers that have emerged from the national jungle, will not give up the slightest opportunity to win future interests.
How can they sit idly by and watch a piece of the cake as big as Australia be swallowed by someone else?
It was okay for the British to compromise with the United States, but it was absolutely impossible for the British to compromise with China, given the impression that China had in their minds in the past. Even the United States and Britain have only thrown away some of their interests, and are absolutely unwilling to hand over all Australian interests.
Great countries have the dignity of a great power.
Although the homeland was in danger, the British understood better that the honor of the empire came from the accumulation of wealth in the colonies around the world.
They have constantly compromised with the United States in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other Asian regions, and even exchanged the Americans with many islands for their fleets to explore and settle on on the seas they once galloped on, but they have always grasped some core interests that even the Americans refuse to let go.
Canada in the north of the United States was used by the British and French to restrain the Americans, and in the face of American pressure, how could they let go?
The Middle East, the land of energy, has always been pinched by the British, and even the Americans have reached out in every possible way, and it took a long time in the previous life to gradually get their hands on it.
Australia, in the previous life, the Americans have been out of reach for a long time, if this time and space were not promoted by Meng Xiang to introduce the Japanese, who are more ferocious than rabbits, I am afraid that the Americans would not have a chance to reach out.
The British can compromise, they can back down, but they will never hand over the last piece of foothold on which to lay out.
They still have room to maneuver by dragging the Americans into Australia, but when the Chinese fill the whole of Australia with their heart-wrenching population, all they have left is despair.
In this era, without the tossing of Sovietism in the world and the complete weakening of World War II, the concept of white supremacy still permeated the bones of every white person.
If it was Germans, there might be room for détente. But the Chinese, the arrogant British, absolutely say no.
The contempt of the white people of that era for China is beyond the reach of people today.
On the contrary, the Americans who are bent on getting into the eyes of money know more about Huaxia and dare not be careless.
But Australia is also a springboard for them to implement their global strategy, and the temptation of a rich entire continent to anyone should not be underestimated, and the Americans are equally unwilling to let go.
What is the war for?
For the sake of politics!
What is politics for?
For the sake of profit!
For the sake of ultimate interests, even if the Japanese and their enemies are no different, they can still collude again. Even China was on a honeymoon with the United States some time ago, for the huge benefits contained in the entire Australian continent. You can still turn your face.
Of course, all of this takes timing.
With the first step of contact, the British, American, and Japanese are once again negotiating deeper cooperation.
……
"We will never give up the Australian continent!" Hideki Tojo did not give in front of Hirohito.
If the Japanese needed lubricant for peace talks with Britain and the United States, then the scapegoat was undoubtedly directed at him, who had once advocated attacking Britain and the United States.
No matter how shameless a politician is, he lies a lot, but when it comes to a figure like Hideki Tojo who has climbed to the top, the core banner set up behind him cannot be shaken easily, otherwise even if the tree falls, it will be scattered.
Hideki Tojo's only chance of survival was to continue to hold on to the anti-British and American banner. With a firm hand.
"Can we stop the Vanguard alone?" Fumiro Konoe asked.
Now the Japanese have realized the gap with the Chinese, and in less than a month, they were swept by the Chinese army to the last corner of Australia. Even Melbourne has lost news, leaving only Sydney struggling to hold on.
"We do our best!" Tojo's tone was now an octave weaker.
"Do your best, but in the end you still fail!" Fumiro Konoe reprimanded unceremoniously, and then turned to Hirohito, "We can take this opportunity to get rid of the unfavorable situation of fighting against Huaxia and Britain and the United States at the same time!" ”
"The empire still has a navy, how can it be said that it will fail?" Nagano Shushen next to him suddenly interjected.
The biggest beneficiary of Japan's strategy of marching south was the Japanese Navy, and if it were not for the support of the Japanese Navy, Hideki Tojo would have rolled down in the face of a series of defeats.
And compromise with Britain and the United States. I am afraid that it is not only Australia's problem, but also the division of interests in Southeast Asia will be speculated by the two old foxes of Britain and the United States.
The Japanese Army suffered a crushing defeat, but the Japanese Navy did not fall behind in the face of the Americans, and was even more confident in the Shangxia Navy, so it retreated from Australia. The entire Japanese Navy will not be reconciled.
……
With the strong demands of the navy, the Japanese did not make concessions to the British and Americans, let go of the vicinity of Sydney, and let the British and Americans land to occupy a piece of land first.
The two sides continue to bicker. Just boasted that Haikou wanted to teach the Chinese a lesson, and did not wait for the order of the South Pacific Fleet to launch a large-scale operation against the Chinese army. New news has come from the Australian front.
"How so?" Nagano Shushen held this news about the Australian Navy and couldn't believe his eyes.
As mentioned above, it is clear that the Japanese Second Fleet was withdrawn from Sydney Harbour.
As the Japanese navy expanded more widely in the south, the Japanese had divided the southern fleet into four groups.
The First Fleet is responsible for the South Seas, the Second Fleet is responsible for Australia and the surrounding South Pacific region, also often referred to as the South Balance Ocean Fleet, the Third Fleet is responsible for the Caroline Islands, the Marshall Islands and other waters all the way to the vicinity of Hawaii, and the Fourth Fleet is responsible for the Indian Ocean.
And now, the Second Fleet, which had just established its base in Sydney, had withdrawn from Sydney Harbour in its entirety.
"Why is this happening?" Nagano immediately contacted Jizaburo Ozawa, commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet.
"The air force of the China people is too powerful. We can't resist it, so we can only evacuate Sydney Harbour and seek fighters on the periphery! Ozawa replied dryly.
For Ozawa, who was able to compile a lesson plan for Japanese carriers, the navy had lost its air cover and could no longer successfully complete its set tasks.
In view of the small number of ships of the Chinese Navy, the only support fleet was initially relocated near Spencer Bay, and blocked the passage for the Japanese Navy to run to bullying with mines, so the order of the higher authorities was to ask the Japanese Navy to cooperate with the Army and launch an attack on the Chinese Army.
But when the Japanese navy approached the coast, it found that the Huaxia fighters, which had air superiority, could threaten them at any time.
At the beginning, with the addition of HNA, the sky above his head was not too stressful, but as time went by, Ozawa reluctantly found that most of the fighters on the three aircraft carriers had been shot down. If this continues, even the last vestiges of vitality will be lost near the coastline.
However, the number of Chinese fighters is increasing, not only fighters fighting with Japanese fighters, but all kinds of bombers have begun to focus on all kinds of ships with Sydney Harbour as their core activities. Even the torpedo machine ran out.
Their targets are not only those capital warships, but also those supply ships of all kinds.
Even the main warships of the Japanese Navy did not have an air defense system sufficient to withstand the attacks of the Chinese fighters, let alone the subsidiary ships.
Ozawa looked at the reports of battle damage, and could only hold his head and sulk every day.
The air reinforcements that the Japanese had brought from the South Seas could not reach Sydney at all, so they disappeared. Even if they came around from the Coral Sea, they still couldn't escape the sniping of the Chinese fighters. There are fewer and fewer fighter jets around Sydney, and the pilots with familiar faces shouting the slogan of loyalty to the empire are long gone.
When the final bomb bombed Sydney's airport to the ground, the fighters that took off with all kinds of damage had time to repair their nests.
But the whole sky has become the world of the Chinese people.
Having lost air supremacy, the entire Second Fleet was exposed to the bombs of the Chinese.
"Exit Sydney Harbour!" Watching in vain every day as ships sank beside him, Ozawa finally made up his mind, ignoring the orders of his superiors, making his fleet farther away from the Australian coastline, and even moving the supply base directly from Sydney Harbour.
More and more ships were sunk in the port of Sydney, and one day, the main warships receiving supplies would be blocked in the harbor and unable to get out. Moreover, the air defense system in the port could no longer stop the harassment of the Huaxia bombers for three days.
Ever since Huaxia's airships also joined the bombing ranks, dropping bombs from a high altitude to directly sink an unlucky Yamato-class heavy cruiser and seriously injure a Yamato-class battleship, Ozawa was even more resolute, and even ordered the evacuation without waiting for the order from his hesitating superiors to come.
"You're going to be a deserter!" Nagano Xiu said angrily.
Although Ozawa said that he was going to fight guerrilla on the periphery, Nagano knew that if he got out of the way, he would abandon the Japanese army and let them be overwhelmed by the chariots of China.
Without personal experience, you will not feel the horror of Huaxia's air power. Nagano Shusei is now thinking about the overall situation and protecting the interests of the whole of Japan in Australia, rather than preserving the strength of a fleet of naval forces.
"Return immediately!" Nagano Shushen ordered.
But before his order came out, news came from Australia again: Sydney had been captured by the Chinese army.
