Chapter 1021: The Rise and Fall of the Imperial State in this move
A few days later
September 2nd
Wellington, the capital of New Zealand's Dominion, and Auckland, the largest town, were joined by tens of thousands of local Chinese and whites, holding slogans such as "Let the children go home", "We have been shamefully deceived", "The war in Europe is not ours", "End the tragedy", many of them are parents and relatives of young people who have joined the army and gone to the European battlefield.
They walked down the street with signs held high with mournful expressions, and many pedestrians joined the protest procession, gradually gathering near the British Governor's Palace and the local city council, and protested angrily.
The cause of the incident was the heavy casualties of the Anzac in the Battle of Gallipoli, and the two New Zealand divisions involved suffered most of the casualties, and as part of the white army, they should receive generous casualty compensation, and the death notice was sent to the relevant families in time.
Time
Far away from the tragic war on the other side of the world, with boundless grief sweeping like a tidal wave, almost half of the white families in Wellington and Auckland have lost loved ones, including many Chinese families.
Grief was pregnant with a great discontent, which exploded in an instant after ignition.
This cannot be blamed on New Zealand's weak tolerance, which is an island dominance of only 477,000 people, of which 70% of the population is Chinese, and the total number of whites is a little more than 100,000, that is, more than 17,300 white families.
In the two New Zealand divisions, the total number of troops is 26,310, and the proportion of soldiers is reversed, with white soldiers accounting for more than 60%, a total of 15,963 people, and the rest are local Chinese residents.
That's it
Nearly 90 percent of white households have adult men in the military, and some have more than one.
Most of the white New Zealanders were of British Isles descent, mostly Irish, and they volunteered to join the army with a great sense of British identification and fought for the honor of Great Britain.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is too cruel.
The war in Europe was not a child's play, let alone a suitable occasion to express patriotic feelings, and the 7,362 death notices were served, not counting the wounded soldiers, and such a tragic loss dealt a heavy blow to the New Zealanders, which made them sober.
And those families who did not receive the death notice became even more panicked at the moment.
They fear that one day they will receive the same bad news, and a great fear hangs over the community, and a gentle push can form a hurricane in the blink of an eye, blowing all illusions to pieces.
Now, all wants only the surviving New Zealand soldiers to come home.
If you don't play, you really can't afford to play!
After the outbreak of the war, the Governor-General of New Zealand and the local government did have an unshirkable duty to carry out a lot of demagogic propaganda to stir up patriotic sentiment among young people, and many white young people were signed up without telling their families under the strong opposition of their parents.
There are also many young Chinese people among them, who are eager to prove themselves like white people.
Overall
The percentage of Chinese families who join the army is low, and they have little sense of belonging to the UK.
A young man from almost six Chinese families volunteered to enlist in the Anzac, and seeing these Chinese people who were full of love for the British, the Ocean Empire, which had great influence in New Zealand, did not intervene or dissuade them, but provided many conveniences with an optimistic attitude.
If you can accept the beating of the war in Europe and come back with good arms and legs, then congratulations on your great life.
If you accidentally lose your life in Europe, then you will lose it, what do you care about others?
The road is chosen by oneself, these young men who are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for the alien race are really good, what is that...... Do whatever you have to do, don't watch the fools, next time you must take it as a warning!
The demonstrations in New Zealand soon spread to towns and cities, and under the extreme grief and indignation, many of the demonstrators acted irrationally, finding out that the local officials were violently beaten, smashing the town hall and the local police station, and settling accounts with the Governor of New Zealand.
The frightened Governor of New Zealand, protected by several guards, fled New Zealand by boat and ran to Sydney for refuge.
In fact, the demands of these New Zealand demonstrations are unreasonable.
The soldiers who participated in the Anzac Corps were all volunteering to serve and volunteered to go to the European theater to fight for Great Britain, although the local government had tried its best to demagogue propaganda, but the decision was still in their own hands.
Britain has now mobilized more than 5 million troops, including more than 1.3 million in the Indian colonies alone, plus more than 300,000 soldiers in other colonies, France has mobilized more than 6.8 million troops, Germany has mobilized more than 7 million troops, and Russia has invested nearly 10 million troops.
In a world war of this scale, it is impossible to say that you will join the army if you join the army, and if you say that you will regret it, you will regret it.
However, under the instigation of well-intentioned people, the emotions of the local people in New Zealand broke out irrepressibly, and they wanted the children to come back.
They didn't know that even if Li Fushou, the emperor of the Ocean Empire, personally came out to London to beg for the children to be sent home, London would never agree to such a request.
Don't fight the war like this, just admit defeat and count the ball.
meanwhile
New Mexico border, North America
Marshal Oyama Iwa led a group of high-ranking generals to stand in the dense forest on the top of the mountain with a stern expression, looking down through binoculars at the area where fierce border clashes were breaking out.
At a glance, there were more than 30 high-ranking Japanese generals with the rank of major general and lieutenant general on their shoulders in the crowd, and there were also four high-ranking officers with the rank of general, almost all the senior generals in the army base camp.
Adhering to the merits of the Fuso people's consistent meticulous actions, with the respect of Marshal Dashanyan, we must go to the front line of the border conflict to see it for ourselves and not let go of any details.
Observe for a moment
Without saying a word, Marshal Oyama Rock turned around and walked into the depths of the dense forest, which is located in the Bisby region east of Tucson, which belongs to the southernmost part of the Arizona Republic and is one of the more intense border conflicts, and the other is in the central region.
Into the depths of the forest
There was a simple military map board hanging from a tree, and next to it stood a dozen or so staff officers of the base camp with golden wheat ears on their chests, each of whom was a high-achieving student from the saber group, with different ranks of adjutant officers hanging on their shoulders, and bowed in unison with respectful expressions; "Your Excellency, Generalissimo, hard work."
Marshal Oyamayan, who had a high position in the army, became famous for commanding the South Manchurian General Headquarters to defeat the Russians in a war, and was promoted to a first-class duke with the title of meritorious service, one of the founders of the modern Fuso Army, and was highly respected in the country.
No one knows. He actually came to the Republic of Arizona secretly, and there are so many high-ranking army generals here.
Thus
The Fuso people have been plotting this war for a day or two, and both the United States and Japan are fully prepared to fight a good battle when Europe has no time to take care of anything else.
Marshal Dashanyan walked to the map board and stopped, glanced at the generals who followed with a majestic expression, and without talking nonsense, he stretched out his hand and nodded on the map and said;
"Ladies and gentlemen, on the opposite side of the Bisby area is one of the key defense areas of the US military.
The Mi people have hoarded 34,000 army soldiers and more than 70,000 militia in the area, and built strong permanent positions and artillery fortresses, which is a hard nut to crack.
But we're going to see;
Compared to the tight defenses of the central region and the unfavorable terrain of the Colorado Plateau Mountains, the southern border is easier to break through, and after the breakthrough, there is a flat river, and 220 kilometers away is an extremely important oil field for the Great Fuso Empire, and we have to take it down in good condition, which is one of the important objectives of this operation.
Therefore, the army base camp decided to ......"
Speaking of which
All the Japanese soldiers put Zuoqi's brushed legs together and stood solemnly, waiting for orders.
"The base camp decided;
In the central part of the Republic of Arizona, the defense was taken, and the southern part of the country was on the offensive, and with a spirit of swiftness, tenacity, and courage, and sacrifice, it broke through the fortified fortresses in the south in one fell swoop, and penetrated deep into the soft belly of the enemy, and the troops were divided into three routes.
All the way along the road line to the south into the oil field, seize and occupy the area in its entirety, and regain control of the important oil resources.
Here, I would like to emphasize;
It was extremely important for the army attacking the area to ensure that the oil field production facilities were intact and that production could be restored as soon as possible after the occupation and that the Imperial army would be able to provide a steady stream of funds.
The division continued to attack and advance in a northeasterly direction, recovering the towns it passed through and consolidating them along the way.
After the main forces of the Imperial Army occupied Las Cruces deeply, the New Mexico Railroad in Orancho, Santa Fe, and Nas Vegas outflanked the main forces of the American forces stationed in the central area of New Mexico from the rear, flanked them in front and rear and annihilated them in one fell swoop.
Here I would like to remind you ......"
Speaking of which
Marshal Oyama Yan stopped talking, and his eyes swept over all the army generals present, and everywhere he looked, everyone puffed up their chests and waited for orders with solemn expressions.
Marshal Oyama Yan's eyes flashed with a subtle trace of satisfaction, these generals who have undergone rigorous military training are capable enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the revitalization of the empire, they have the courage to sacrifice, they are willing to dedicate, even if they are broken, they can carry out orders to the letter, and they are trustworthy.
"I would like to remind you;
The core point of this military plan is to seize time and speed, and before the people of the United States can react, penetrate the enemy's central region from south to north in one fell swoop, occupy Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and other places, and form an encirclement of the US heavy military group.
After exhaustive intelligence analysis, we have only one week left to act.
If the war drags on
With a steady stream of reinforcements arriving in the east and center of the country, and a heavy bloc on the front line of Rio Rancho and Santa Fe, the war situation will slide in an uncontrollable direction, which no one wants to see.
Therefore, once the war has begun, it is necessary to quickly smash the strong fortress that stands in front of you with a resolute and unafraid attack without fear of sacrifice, and I give you only two days.
To this end, the Imperial Base Camp has specially equipped us with heavy mortars, 152mm large-caliber howitzers and other offensive weapons, and has prepared sufficient ammunition.
Ladies and gentlemen, the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom is here, please! ”
After speaking, Marshal Oyama Iwa bowed deeply.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Marshal, we will swear to complete the task to the death, and there will be no advance or retreat." All the army generals bowed in return, and the voice of the answer was categorical, revealing a sense of determination.
The Fuso were militarily perceptive and, having realized the inevitability of a second war between the United States and Japan, were immediately ready to strike a blow.
Waiting to be beaten is not the style of Fuso people.
