Chapter 99: The annexation of Australia (1)

Over Poland, fighter planes were densely packed like clouds and bombs fell like raindrops.

Arsenals, airports, barracks, granaries, and almost any valuable military target were destroyed by German bombers within a few minutes. This was the first time that the Poles had tasted the largest taste of death and destruction from the air in human history.

The German ground troops launched a full-line attack from the north, west and southwest. Under the cover of more than 2,000 tanks, more than 1,000 aircraft and more than 1,000 cannons, the 900,000 German troops defeated one million Polish troops in just a few days, forcing Poland to move its capital to Warsaw.

The German army launched a blitzkrieg. Based on a huge number of combat aircraft and assault tanks, the Po army was defeated if they could not react. Most of the steel weapons supporting the German army came from the ** factory of the Tang Empire. The main fighter jets and main battle tanks of the German army were designed by the Tang Empire, and most of them were directly produced and manufactured by the Tang Arsenal and delivered to the German army. Otherwise, just a few years after Hitler came to power, the production capacity of the German Arsenal would not be able to produce such a large number of aircraft and tanks. The Tang Dynasty really made a lot of money, worth billions of Tang Yuan, which shows the huge profits in arms transactions.

At the same time, judging from the scale of weapons and equipment for the Tang Dynasty military industry in just a few years, the Tang Dynasty military industry was able to produce more than 2,000 aircraft, more than 2,000 tanks and sufficiently equipped twelve German armored divisions, seventeen light armored divisions, and twenty motorized infantry divisions, the Tang Dynasty military industry was very powerful in terms of weapon and equipment production capacity.

Such a huge production capacity was not only for making huge profits for selling arms, but also because of the war between Tang and Ri. The Tang army expanded its troops on a large scale, reserved weapons and repaired parts, and was also prepared for the Second World War.

Now the Tang Dynasty officially declared war on Britain and France. All war mobilization has actually been completed long ago, and various weapons and equipment have been in place. Strategic materials have even reserved astronomical figures during the world economic crisis, which is enough for the Tang army to spend five years at high intensity without any supplements. It can be seen that the amount of strategic materials reserved by the Tang Dynasty is so terrifying that it comes in handy at this time.

As the Tang Empire officially participated in World War II, the military strength that had been hidden in the war against Japan had to be exposed in advance.

The Ministry of Defense of the Tang Dynasty was busy. The combat plans from various combat staff were constantly rejected, thinking, and vetoing and thinking. After repeated war games over and over again, the Tang army decided to attack the French Pacific Colonial and Australia at the same time.

France and Japan have long formed an alliance. Therefore, in every colony in the French Pacific, the French and Japanese army built solid fortifications and even built airports. However, France had been hesitating before whether to officially break up with the Tang Dynasty, so it had been secretly carried out secretly. Now the two sides have officially break up with the war. The French and Japanese armies have even publicly built various military fortifications on each island. They have added garrisons, as if they want to fight to the death with the Tang army.

Looking at the entire Pacific region, the Tang Empire fought against Japan at the same time, France and Britain at the same time, and it was like a shaking tree. But in fact, on the contrary, around the Pacific, the Tang Empire never took Britain, France and Japan seriously, but the only thing they feared was the United States from the east coast of the Pacific.

There were many generals within the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who had put forward military intentions and ideas for fighting against the United States, and some even proposed to take the initiative to attack Pearl Harbor to eliminate the US Pacific Fleet. Their view is that the relationship between Britain and the United States is extraordinary, and the United States will sooner or later stand on the side of Britain. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty chose to start a war with Britain and France, sooner or later, it will face the United States sooner or later. Instead of waiting until the American war machine is running, it is better to kill it in the bud early. Once the US Pacific Fleet is destroyed, the entire Pacific region will be completely under the Tang Empire. Even if the United States mobilizes its forces from the east to supplement the losses of the Pacific region, it can at least win a strategic buffer period for the Tang Empire for two to three years and fully develop its military strength to fight the United States.

This view is supported by considerable theoretical and practical foundations and is completely in line with the national strategy. It was only eventually suppressed by Zhang Meng, because Zhang Meng knew very well that the war potential of the Tang Dynasty was many times stronger than that of Japan and its strategic material reserves were more than twenty times more than that of Japan when it attacked Pearl Harbor. However, it is the most unwise to go to war with the huge war giant of the United States. Even if you want to fight, you have to wait until the three kingdoms of Britain, France and Japan are eliminated before taking action.

Zhang Meng knew very well how powerful the isolationism in the United States was. As long as he did not provoke the United States, it would be difficult for the US government to join the war. This is why Zhang Meng's real purpose of supporting Hoover to come to power and signing a non-aggression treaty with the United States. As long as the Tang Dynasty did not actively attack the United States, the United States could not actively declare war on the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Meng suppressed a group of generals who took the United States as their imaginary enemy within the military and guided them to focus on conquering Britain, France and Japan first.

In terms of combat against Japan, the Tang army had already controlled the entire Taiwan Island and was planning to launch an attack on the Ryukyu Islands. In the North Pacific, the Northern Islands of the Tang Dynasty continued to maintain large-scale bombing operations against Japan and restrained the Japanese aviation forces from reinforced Ryukyu. On the battlefield in North China, the Chinese team held more than one million Japanese main forces, dragged the Japanese army to the battlefield in North China and could not make any progress, and indirectly supported the Tang army's plan to attack the Ryukyu Islands.

In terms of the French Central and South Pacific islands, the Tang army transferred back to the Chiyou aircraft carrier and four destroyers from the second aircraft carrier battle group of the Tang Dynasty, and then transferred six escort aircraft carriers from the local area to form the third aircraft carrier battle group to fight in the Central and South Pacific. The newly formed Sixth Division of the Tang Dynasty Marine Corps has been assembled and will follow the third aircraft carrier battle group to participate in the battle.

In terms of the Commonwealth member Australia, the Tang Empire adopted both soft and hard measures. On the one hand, the Tang Empire put pressure on Australia through diplomatic means, demanding that Australia take the initiative to break away from the Commonwealth and be completely independent. The Tang Empire will not invade Australia and provide military protection to Australia. On the other hand, the Tang Army's Fifth Marine Division and the Seventh Division are actively preparing for combat operations against Australia. The Tang Army Air Force gathers and stands on standby at major airports in the Fiji Islands, and will launch air military strikes on Australia.

The internal opinions of the Australian government are also inconsistent. Some officials firmly support the British Empire to prepare to start a war against the Tang Dynasty. The other part has no longer a strong sense of belonging to the British Empire. They consider the actual situation and believe that the British Empire is thousands of miles away and it takes at least three months to reinforce Australia. The Tang Empire is close at hand, and the Tang army's strong combat power is far greater than the Australian army. The number of aircraft on both sides is 3,500:76, ​​the number of tanks is 1,200:144, the number of cannons is 6,000:800, the number of warships is 420:54, and the number of army forces is 5:24 (10,000). Although most of the Tang army's forces are used to fight against Japan, they are still much stronger than the Australian army. Once the war begins, Australia will fall in less than three months.
