Chapter 1078
The withdrawal of the German army made the main threat to the west of the British Empire disappear at once, and a wave of optimism began to spread in the British Empire.
In this case, in order to respond to the people’s call, sending troops to Australia for support seemed to be a must!
“However, have you ever thought about this? We only have so many troops. If all of them are sent to Australia, let alone whether we can really defeat the Foot Basin, even if we defeat the Foot Basin, this army will inevitably not be able to return to South Asia to protect us for a long time. If the German army takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on us during this period of time, what should we do?”
“The German army can withdraw suddenly, naturally it can also suddenly increase troops, or even suddenly launch a full-scale offensive. The initiative is always in their hands. I don’t think it is a rational thing to pin our own destiny on the enemy’s mercy!”
Churchill is a mature politician. He is best at calculating the gains and losses!
Admittedly, the security situation around the British Empire has indeed improved a lot, and they do have the ability to send reinforcements to Australia.
But what are the consequences of doing so?
Can they really bear this risk?
This is a question mark!
Hearing Chukir’s words, everyone nodded, obviously alerted by his words!
The current situation does not allow them to be careless. If they are not careful, they may step into a situation of no return!
They can’t afford such consequences!
“Are we going to miss this opportunity?”
Someone asked unwillingly.
The homeland is gone, the Maple Leaf Country betrayed them, South Philippines also betrayed them, and then it was taken away by the German army. If the Foot Basin people continue to take Australia away, then the only colony of the British Empire in the world will be South Asia! The once glorious British Empire is about to completely decline and become history!
As an old man who has experienced the most glorious period of the British Empire, these people present do not want to lose the glory of the British Empire, so they don’t want to give up the Australian colony anyway!
Moreover, giving up here is equivalent to giving a large amount of war resources to the Foot Basin. Once the Foot Basin converts these war resources into weapons and equipment, then the South Asian colony may not be safe!
After all, this place is too close to the Foot Basin!
“Australia must be saved, but not at this time!”
Chukir naturally understood this truth. To be honest, he did not want to be defined by future history as the prime minister who caused the destruction of the British Empire. This reputation was too bad. If it was written into history, I am afraid it would be infamous for thousands of years!
“When was that?”
Everyone held a glimmer of hope when they heard that Chukir had not completely denied the matter.
“We have to wait until we get a clearer signal from the Third Reich!”
……
“Hasn’t the British army sent troops yet?”
After ordering the withdrawal of the Central Asian troops, Mainz paid close attention to the situation in South Asia. The Japanese army has now established a foothold in the west of Australia. Once they have established a foothold, the subsequent Japanese army and a large amount of combat supplies will be continuously transported over. Once the Japanese army is ready, it will begin to cross Australia and launch an attack on Australia’s most essential eastern coastal areas! Although
Australia is large in area, there are relatively few places suitable for living.
Most of them are concentrated in the eastern coastal areas, which are the most densely populated areas in Australia.
Occupying this area basically means occupying Australia.
Although the Australian army is working hard to build a defense line to stop the enemy’s advance, most of them are recruits with no combat experience, which is a big gap compared to the Japanese veterans who have experienced the hardships of war on the battlefield of the Celestial Empire.
Moreover, the Australian army is not large in number. Considering that they have a population of less than 10 million, they usually maintain a maximum of 50,000 to 100,000 troops. Even after an emergency mobilization, the total number of Australian troops should not exceed 300,000!
Expecting 300,000 recruits with no training and no combat experience to resist hundreds of thousands of Even millions of veterans with rich combat experience, this is simply a foolish dream!
So as long as the Japanese army successfully crosses Australia and reaches the eastern part of Australia, then this place will be at their fingertips. At that time, Australia may not be able to defend it at all!
According to the results of the German Army’s General Staff’s war game simulation, the Japanese army will probably cross Australia in a month and a half and reach the eastern part of Australia.
At the latest, it will occupy the last city in southeastern Australia in three months!
In other words, the people of the British Empire only have three months at most, considering that they need to do a lot of preparation before sending troops.
It takes time to transport troops at sea and land, so the Sun Never Sets has only two months at most!
If they don’t want to divide the river with the Foot Basin and only have part of Australia, then the sooner they set out, the better. In that case, if they land before the Foot Basin operation, the probability of holding the defense line will be much greater, and it will not be easy to lose Australia at that time!
Mainz naturally trusts the results of the deduction of the General Staff, and combined with the intelligence, the facts are indeed the case.
In this case, the Sun Never Sets should be very anxious at this moment, but why are they not moving at all?
“Not yet, Führer, I will inform you as soon as I have any news!”
Himmler shook his head and replied.
During this period, the Führer paid more attention to South Asia than North America. Although the war in North America has entered its end, the American government is still lingering and has not been completely destroyed.
Moreover, after killing North America, the German army may continue to attack the Maple Leaf Country in the north.
The Third Reich has no interest in most of the land in the Maple Leaf Country, because the low-latitude ice field area is not suitable for human survival at all, and the significance of occupying such land is limited.
However, there are many areas that are extremely important to the Third Reich, such as the area in the west of the Maple Leaf Country close to the Pacific Ocean. , it is connected to Alaska, and the German army must take this area!
In addition, the Great Lakes region is an important economic zone for the Eagle Sauce in the north. The convenient water transportation in the Great Lakes region also makes the port trade here extremely convenient. However, many of the Great Lakes are shared with the Maple Leaf Country in the north. At the beginning, the Eagle Sauce was relatively weak and could not beat the British Empire, so it was forced to accept such conditions, leaving a lot of regrets for the Eagle Sauce’s territory!
But now the German army does not have this concern, so this part of the territory must be taken over!
