The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1071

Colonel Tachibana Yuichiro stood on the bridge of the old battleship Shikishima, his eyes moving away from a fishing boat on the sea that was still emitting black smoke and was broken into two pieces.

In the past few hours, their fleet has encountered more and more fishing boats, most of which are flying the Australian flag, which shows that they are very close to the Australian mainland. Perhaps if they sail a distance further south, they will be able to see Australia!

Australia, this place has great appeal to the people of the foot basin.

They have already controlled many islands in the central Pacific at this time, and the purpose of controlling these islands is to expand southward little by little.

After all, the area of these islands is generally not very large, and they cannot live with too many people and cannot provide too many things to the foot basin, so the people of the foot basin must be dissatisfied.

Australia is different. This place has been circulated in the foot basin country a long time ago.

According to legend, there is a large island in the south with abundant water and grass, wide grasslands, and a large number of wild animals!

For the people of the foot basin, who have a small land and a large population, the news of this large island in the south has an inexplicable attraction to them.

After all, a country with a narrow land area and located in a dangerous volcanic earthquake zone, its citizens, from Tianhuang to ordinary people, have a sense of insecurity in their hearts!

This is also true. Earthquakes occur frequently in Jiaoben, and there are a large number of volcanoes distributed in the territory. Many of these volcanoes are active volcanoes, and no one knows when they will erupt again!

Living in a land where natural disasters are frequent, it is normal for Jiaoben citizens to feel insecure. After all, an accident may destroy their families!

So in the hearts of Jiaoben people, they are very eager to go out and find a better and safer place to settle down, so that they can get rid of this terrible situation in Jiaoben as soon as possible!

Jiaoben is keen on external expansion, which is also based on the unique sense of insecurity of the citizens of this island country!

At this time, Australia, which was once a paradise in the hearts of countless Jiaoben people, is right in front of him, and Tachibana Yuichiro is naturally very excited!

“Release the seaplanes, prepare for aerial reconnaissance, notify the landing troops in the rear, and let them prepare for landing!”

Like many naval generals, Tachibana Yuichiro naturally has no good feelings towards the group of elks in the army.

If it were normal times, he would not like these people at all, but this time the mission is special, both for themselves and for the Foot Basin Empire, this mission is of vital importance!

So his attitude has improved slightly. In order to complete the mission and to allow his descendants to live and work in peace on this fertile land, Tachibana Yuichiro took care of the group of army elks a little.

After all, escorting them here, the navy’s mission has been completed for more than half, and the rest depends entirely on the performance of the army elks themselves.

Whether or not they can capture this continent and snatch this place from the hands of the British Empire depends on the performance of the army elks on land.

If they perform well, Australia will be in their hands in the future. If they don’t perform well, then this operation will be a failure! The British Empire is the weakest and easiest to bully in the past few hundred years. If they ca n’t snatch Australia from the British Empire in this situation, then when the British Empire recovers, it will be exponentially more difficult for them to take action!

Therefore, Tachibana Yuichiro hopes that the army’s idiots can fight for their dignity a little and not let him and millions of citizens down. They must succeed immediately and complete this mission!

After receiving the notice, the Japanese army soldiers transported on the landing ships, transport ships, cruise ships and merchant ships in the rear immediately became excited!

To be honest, for a force like the army that does not often sail on the sea, The feeling of riding on a ship for a long time is quite terrible, especially because they are worried about the lack of troops, so they want to cram more people on each ship, regardless of the fact that too many people will cause the living conditions to deteriorate. Their journey is really not pleasant!

Fortunately, this long and painful journey is finally over, and they are in Australia!

As long as they arrive in Australia and land on the shore, even if there are enemies waiting for them on the shore, it is better for these Japanese soldiers than staying on the ship!

Life on the ship is really not a life for human beings, and they don’t want to stay on the ship for another second!

The national strength of the foot basin is much worse than that of other powers, and the steel production is insufficient, which has led to their limited materials being almost all used to develop combat equipment. For example, the navy has the most sufficient funds for the construction of main battleships, and materials. Materials are also used first.

And auxiliary equipment that does not have combat effectiveness, such as troop transport ships and oil tankers, will be treated much worse. The funds for these ships are tight, and they can save as much as possible and cut as much as possible, resulting in not only a small number of such warships in the foot basin, but also backward performance.

This time, the foot basin took action against Australia, and they mobilized more than one million troops in total. Even if all the Australians were five turns, the foot basin people were not afraid!

However, it is basically impossible to transport more than one million troops to Australia in one go.

Although the foot basin’s homeland is not as far from Australia as the Third Reich is from the Eagle Sauce, and the foot basin’s colonies on the island of Daiwan and the supply points on the islands in the central Pacific also provide great convenience for their mission this time, which reduces their logistical pressure a lot!

But even so, it is impossible to transport millions of troops in one go by relying solely on military troop transport ships and landing ships!

Therefore, the foot basin government had to find all the ships that can run in the ocean and let them carry the army’s stags to sea!

These ships are not specially designed for transporting troops and landings, so they have very obvious shortcomings and shortcomings!

But at this time, the people of Jiaoben couldn’t care less.

They just had to pile up the troops first! The people of Jiaoben were lucky. After their first batch of landing troops landed, the Australian army, who learned the news, hurried over!

After they arrived, before they could launch a counterattack, the Japanese army had already taken the initiative to attack!

Obviously, they didn’t want this Australian army to threaten their friendly forces that were landing!
