"The thirty-seventh battalion is missing!"

Prime Minister Austria was shocked and hurriedly asked:

"What's going on?"

Just thinking about the strange telegram of the Americans, there was a problem with the troops who went to Gove to quell the so-called autonomy, which made the Austrian Prime Minister feel a lot of trouble - there can't really be any problems, right?

Could it be that the other side was transported by motorboat and personally sent troops to the field?

Otherwise, the prime minister can't imagine in his heart, what can the so-called miners' self-defense forces do?

"An hour ago, the 37th Battalion had arrived in Gove and was about to launch a military operation to recover Gove and quell the insurrection, and 25 minutes ago the call said that the offensive had officially begun, and that contact had been maintained every five minutes during the period, but contact had been lost for 15 minutes."

The secretary strives to organize the language.

"Haven't been in touch?"

Although he knew that he must have been in contact all the time, the prime minister couldn't help but ask.

"I'm still in contact, but I've not received a reply."

The secretary replied.

"They brought three long-range radios, right?"

The Prime Minister continued.

There are also advantages to the small population of the country, and the dignified prime minister, who actually knows the communication configuration of a battalion, can be said to be personally involved.

"Yes, three American-made high-power radios."

The secretary replied.

Thanks to the Yankees' departure from the Asia-Pacific theater last year, the Austrian army received a lot of good equipment.

"Keep in touch."

The Prime Minister's tone trembled a little.

Hopefully, the radio signal was affected by the weather, or the fighting was too fierce and destroyed, or maybe the battle was too smooth and they were bullying the miners and forgot to contact them.

Or, forget it!

The Prime Minister prayed silently in his heart.

Two hours later.

"Prime Minister, I still haven't contacted the 37th Battalion."

The secretary reported again.

Mr. Prime Minister was silent for a long time.

Now two hours, plus the previous fifteen minutes, that is, one hundred and thirty-five minutes after losing contact, although the 37th Battalion is a newly formed battalion, a second-line unit, and the troops lack combat experience, they have not been in contact for so long, and it is during the mission.

No matter how you think about it, it's not normal.

"Where's the destroyer Ceduna?"

After a long time, the prime minister rubbed his forehead and remembered the destroyer that had been sent.

A small population isn't necessarily a bad thing, but with a large territory, it's not great.

Especially in this case where communication technology is underdeveloped.

Just like now, when a unit goes missing on a mission, it is impossible to confirm its specific status in a short period of time, because there are no other troops or cities around that can be contacted.

The nearest city to Gove with a radio station is Zell, a hundred kilometers away, and in the absence of a railway, only a gravel road, it takes five hours even on horseback, and besides, there are no troops stationed there, and there is no communication corps to be sent out at all.

As for the plane, it really can't fly anywhere.

"It's going to take another ten hours."

The secretary replied immediately.

"Let them speed up."

Prime Minister Says:

"Arrive as fast as you can."

······

Three and a half hours later.

on the destroyer USS Ceduna.

"It's Goff up front."

Comparing the compass and the map, the navigator pointed to the sparks on the distant land, and his tone was affirmative.

"Turn off all the lights and send a motorboat to take people ashore."

The captain waved his hand:

"Be hidden."

As the destroyer Ceduna, who had witnessed the lighter battle in the subcontinent, the captain was very cautious, after all, he knew very well that this incident was definitely the work of the other side, although there was no evidence that the other side had personally ended the battle, but it was always right to be careful.

After all, after three and a half hours of racing at full speed, the destroyer Ceduna was running out of fuel at this time.

As a warship that participated in the Battle of the Pacific Ocean, the soldier's quality is quite good, and in the dim light, a motorboat was quickly lowered, and then sailed towards the distant port of Gove.

After another half an hour, the Austrian navy finally discovered that there was no so-called autonomous force in Gove, only a group of soldiers of the 37th Battalion who had been disarmed and imprisoned.

"Report to the Prime Minister."

The captain immediately ordered.

······

Meanwhile.

"Prime Minister."

The secretary rushed into the Prime Minister's Office in a panic:

"Zell Emergency."

"Zel!"

Prime Minister Austria's eyes lit up.

Zell, the town of Goff, which was occupied by the miners' autonomous forces on the other side, was of course a little less populous, just over 1,500 people.

But for Oshu, which has a total population of just over 7 million, it's really a lot.

“····”

Seeing the expectant eyes of his prime minister, the secretary who was about to speak suddenly choked.

"What's going on?"

The prime minister suddenly felt bad, and his smile narrowed down a lot.

"Zel."

The secretary took a deep breath:

"Captured by the so-called autonomous forces formed by the miners."

"What!"

The Prime Minister's smile vanished.

Coincidentally, at this time a secretary ran in:

"Prime Minister, the destroyer USS Seduna telegraphed, Goff did not find the miners' armament, the thirty-seventh battalion was defeated and captured."

"In addition, they learned that a few hours ago, a large transport plane landed in Gove."

“·····”

Turning his neck stiffly, looking at the telegram handed over by the new secretary, Prime Minister Austria's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but his complicated mood made him unable to say it.

The Yankees united with him to transport weapons and equipment to the Japanese.

The backhand on the other side of the strait pushed the miners to riot and practice self-government, and provided materials and weapons and equipment.

"Hey..."

At this moment, the Austrian Prime Minister regretted it a little.

Although the immigration restriction bill was passed, there were nearly 500,000 miners on the other side of the river alone, and once all of them were mobilized, it would be a big problem.

But soon, the Austrian prime minister regrouped his mentality and regained his fighting spirit.

He remembered the telegram from the President of the United States, the American fleet that was about to depart, and the vast territory and depth, and his confidence suddenly rose.

"Where is the nearest troop?"

The Austrian Prime Minister asked again.

"There are a lot of miners around, we have a lot of troops stationed, there are three infantry battalions in 500 kilometers, a total strength of 1,300 people, equipped with..."

"Not enough!"

Before the secretary finished speaking, the Austrian Prime Minister directly interrupted:

"At least 5,000 troops are needed, and they need to be equipped with heavy artillery and tanks, as well as aircraft."

After the self-confidence returned, the Austrian Prime Minister's brain was also online.

Since this so-called miners' autonomous force was able to defeat the 37th Battalion with four tanks in a very short time, even considering that the 37th Battalion itself had made fatal military mistakes, it could not conceal the fact that this group of so-called self-defense forces was very strong.

I am afraid that there are not only advanced weapons provided by the other side, but also officers and soldiers who have been trained by the other side, and even veterans who have participated in wars.

Although the Austrian prime minister looks down on the people on the other side, he has to admit in his heart that in terms of the level of the army, whether it is equipment or combat level, the other side may be able to crush them.

Considering that this autonomous army will be expanded in the future, it will take at least 5,000 troops to be sure of annihilation.

Even, more.

"Five thousand..."

The secretary began to look for information and began to search for troops.

It's good if the population is small, the troops are small, especially after the main forces are fighting abroad, there are only 30,000 troops in the country, and this is still including the third-line troops, and there is no need for military personnel, the presidential secretary can handle it.

Of course, this also has to do with the wartime system.

Soon, the secretary got the job done.

"It will take twenty days."

The land is vast and sparsely populated, the main force is still abroad, there are only second-line troops left at home, and there is a lack of railways in the inland areas and can only be transported by ports.

"Twenty days."

Once again, the Prime Minister had thoughts of regret in his heart.

Not long ago, after the defeat of the Japanese, the pressure at home plummeted, and at the 'invitation' of the President of the United States, he sent the last 200,000 troops to fight in Europe, resulting in almost no decent troops in the country today.

Otherwise, why would it take 20 days for a mere 5,000 troops?

How could it be that a battalion of regular troops was completely wiped out by the miners' self-defense forces?

"However, twenty days can call up an army of 11,000 troops."

The secretary added:

"Including a tank regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, an armored infantry battalion, a total of fifty M3 and M4 tanks, seventy Greyhound armored vehicles, twenty-six 105 howitzers, twelve 155 howitzers."

The Yankees retreated, and it was not cost-effective to transport the equipment back, so they gave it to the Austrian army, which also led to the fact that although the Austrian troops are pulling their hips, the equipment is not pulling their hips at all.

"Good."

The Prime Minister was in a better mood all of a sudden.

With 10,000 troops, 50 tanks, 70 armored vehicles, more than 38 heavy artillery, and one regiment of elite troops who participated in the Pacific War, he didn't believe it, could that group of Tuhaha stop it?

Even if the other side sends veterans to the war and provide logistical supplies, but so what?

Even if a small elite force is mobilized from within their country, it may not be able to win.

Then the president summoned a group of generals and staff officers, and began to make intensive arrangements for the transfer of troops, after all, it was nearly 10,000 troops, and in this huge state, mobilization and transportation were not a simple matter.

The next morning, the prime minister, who had finished his work, breathed a sigh of relief and was in a happy mood.

Twenty days was the secretary's rough estimate, but in reality it would take only seventeen days to mobilize 11,000 heavy troops to reach Zell, which was occupied by the illegal miners.

"Did you find out where their airport was?"

The Prime Minister looked at the secretary.

Last night, he sent his secretary to investigate how the other side of the strait had airlifted supplies to Gove's illegal armed forces.

"I don't know."

The secretary shook his head:

"I contacted American intelligence, but they didn't know either."

Of course, it is impossible to rely on Ao himself, this kind of thing must be done by the thighs and his father, that is, to ask the United States to investigate.

"Continue the investigation."

Prime Minister Austria was not angry either, he paused and continued:

"Also, condemn each other..."

He's ready to denounce it, and while it doesn't do much, it's a good thing to make headlines in the United States.

"By the way, it's time to screen the spies and rebels in the country·····"

In the end, the Austrian Prime Minister's eyes flashed.

Even if you protest, you still dare to pull the flag to engage in self-government, then don't blame me for being rude and attacking others.

The secretary nodded, walked out, picked up the phone and began to shake people one by one.

The president's latest order needs some influential figures in the country to complete, such as farmers, mine owners, factory owners and other big domestic capitalists and entrepreneurs.

The last time I cooperated with the United States to transport supplies for the Japanese in the subcontinent, it was the cooperation between the Prime Minister's secretary and these domestic bigwigs.

The United States contributed money and materials, the domestic bigwigs sent people and ships, and the secretary was responsible for communicating with the military, and the first cooperation was very pleasant.

Although the second business was messed up, it did not affect the relationship between the two parties.

"We will discuss the day after tomorrow, at noon on August 7, at the Kearns Hotel, and Mr. President will be there in person."

In less than half an hour, the secretary contacted a group of bigwigs and confirmed the time and place of the meeting.

······

Noon on the same day.

In the county town of Zel, 110 kilometers from the coastline in north-central Oshu, the leader of the Miners' Self-Defense Force and the leader of the self-government movement met for a meeting.

The leader first said:

"This time, I mobilized a total of 100,000 miners and their families to converge here, but if we want to really gather all our forces and form an autonomous region, we need more people, and we will win a battle to prove that we have this strength."

"Also."

The leader accentuated his tone:

"We lack supplies, which is also a big problem, and there is not enough food here."

"There's no need to worry about that."

The leader of the Miners' Self-Defense Forces smiled slightly:

"Starting tomorrow, supplies including food, medicine, tanks and heavy artillery, and reinforced concrete will be transported from the base areas, and when the second and third runways are completed, the transportation volume can reach 2,000 tons."

"Within three days, the main force of the Miners' Self-Defense Force will also be expanded to 2,000 and 500 people, including artillery and tank troops trained in the base area, and in ten days, it will be expanded to 5,000 people."

"Today, Austria only has some old, weak, sick and disabled troops, with a total strength of less than 30,000, and there is no problem at all in holding the territory."

"And."

After a pause, the leader of the Miners' Self-Defense Force said:

"There is more direct action at home."

"Two thousand tons per day? Enough is enough! Enough is enough! ”

The leader was pleasantly surprised.

2,000 tons a day, even if only half of it is grain, is enough to meet the consumption of 100,000 people, after all, there is still a lot of local food.

"More direct action?"

The leader was stunned.

······

That night.

Natuna.

Inside the combat chamber.

"Given the number of tankers, it is impossible for us to take off all transport aircraft from Natuna. ”

An Air Force staff officer is reporting to Huang Quan:

"Therefore, we plan to use the devil to do a transfer at the airport in East Tiwen, and at present, an infantry battalion has arrived in East Tiwen and is expanding the airport, and it is expected that the day after tomorrow will be able to provide a transfer, reaching a maximum transportation capacity of 2,000 tons per day."

"Okay."

Huang Quan nodded, and stopped paying attention to this matter.

If we talk about combat, our own air force is still worse, but in terms of transportation, it can be said that looking at the whole world, the base areas are the first in the world, and they are the first in the world in terms of transportation capacity and efficiency.

There is no doubt about that.

After taking away the unnecessary people, Huang Quan looked around at the officers of the Natuna base in the combat conference room and took out a few photos:

"Operation 'Noongate'."

Everyone looked down, the photo was a gorgeous hotel, and they could see the signboard, although it was in English, but after studying for so long, they also knew a little bit, and the name of the hotel was-

Kearns Hotel!

Huang Quan's tone was serious:

"The day after tomorrow, that is, at three o'clock in the afternoon of August 7, a precision bombing of this building will be launched."

"In this operation, the latest laser-guided bombs in service will be used."
