After various emotions such as shock, unbelievable, anger, etc., reacted, the white Australian world burst into an anti-Chinese sentiment, which was a folk reaction.

In Parliament, the Australian Parliament passed various bills to resist the Chinese invasion for the first time, authorizing the recruitment of soldiers, purchase of arms, issuance of war bonds and other series of war-related matters.

In the military, the Australian army quickly ordered the garrison troops in various places to be on guard at the first level, cancel all military leave and return to the troops to standby immediately, and the troops near the Northlands gathered.

At the same time, we are looking for recruiting troops to assemble in the southeast of the densely populated areas, preparing to give the Chinese invading army a headache. Admiral Auston was appointed as the supreme commander of the southern front of the Australian Army.

Admiral Auston just celebrated his 60th birthday this year. He joined the army at the age of 23. He climbed from a lieutenant step by step to the current high position. He has rich combat experience throughout his life. When he was an intern lieutenant, he could order his soldiers to open fire on the unarmed indigenous people of the O Island.

Taking advantage of the military achievements of cleaning up the natives of Australia, Auston climbed up step by step. Then, in World War I, with his outstanding performance in commanding the Australian light cavalry in Turkey, Auston broke through the school and generals and stepped into the ranks of generals.

In the army, some people bluntly compared General Auston to General Butcher, because Auston was a bloody general who walked up to the top of the army with the bones and blood of the natives of the Island of Australia.

At this point, Auston never shy away from anything. Because for him, who has the supreme thinking of white people, among the people living on the island, only white people are the masters of this land, and other people of color are inferior races.

The inferior race should have the awareness and attitude towards life of the inferior race. They can only serve white people and act as slaves to white people. As for the inferior race who dares to challenge the authority of white people, Auston will definitely use his most severe means to retaliate.

It is precisely because Auston had such cruel means to non-whites that the first person that the Australian army thought of when it comes to choosing officers was him.

Because Auston not only cruelly used non-white people, but also known for his strict control of the military, the Australian army participated in World War I and participated in the island battle between the US and Japanese army in the early days of World War II, but the number of participants was not large.

Judging from previous performance, there were many unsatisfactory aspects. For this reason, the Australian Commander believes that Auston's strict military governance measures can quickly improve the discipline and combat effectiveness of the army, which will bring many benefits to Australia.

Being able to defeat the Chinese invading troops more quickly means that the smaller the attacks on the island of Australia will be. This will also save a large area of ​​land from being occupied and also means that the smaller the damage you are affected by war, the smaller the loss will be. It is precisely based on this idea that General Auston was quickly sent to the south of the island of Australia to form troops and resist the southern invasion of the Chinese team.

As soon as General Auston took office, he burned three fires. The first fire was to strictly enforce military discipline. In just one week, a large number of officers and soldiers who were drunk, troubled, and ordered erratic violations and even openly resisted were severely punished, which caused a sudden change in the atmosphere of the Australian Army in the southern region in the short term.

The second is to vigorously strengthen military training, especially the newly recruited recruits. The harsh and arduous training made many veterans complain.

The third fire was to recruit a considerable amount of logistics support. Not only in South Australia, but also in several surrounding states, many of these logistics personnel were recruited. Among these logistics personnel, there were even yellow people and local natives. They were doing the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work under the muzzles and bayonets of the Australian army, but they could not even get enough food and clothing to fill their stomachs.

"General, the car is ready. You can set off at any time." The adjutant's respectful attitude satisfied Auston. He was used to being superior to others. Auston would never tolerate a life of inferiority. This is an important reason why he tried hard to climb up.

"Where did the vanguard force arrive?" Before leaving the comfortable office, Auston still did not forget to ask about the progress of the troops. Although Auston was extremely arrogant in terms of ethnicity, Auston was definitely not a mediocre person in his work.

"I called an hour ago. I have passed Takura and am now accelerating towards the border of the North Territory." The adjutant followed Auston for many years. He knew his style and work attitude, and was definitely confident when answering questions that Auston might ask.

"Very good. Tell them that you will start to increase your alert when you arrive at Mount Willoughby. I don't want those thousands to become appetizers for the Chinese team again." A hint of ferocity flashed in Auston's eyes when he gave the order.

"Yes, sir!"

"General, your afternoon tea is ready. The weather is great today, enjoying the sun and afternoon tea party outdoors will allow you to have a wonderful afternoon." The adjutant carefully informed Auston, who was looking at the military map.

Although most of the ancestors of Australians were robbers and prisoners who were exiled here in Britain, their living habits still originated from Britain. Afternoon tea, a unique living habit of British people, naturally became a part of Australians' lives.

"Oh, it's time for afternoon tea so soon. It seems that time is really not waiting for anyone." Auston threw down his magnifying glass and rubbed his slightly sore eyes and said with some self-deprecating feelings.

After all, Auston is also an elderly man, and his energy is far less abundant than before. His long-term concentration has caused his body to experience fatigue that he had previously noticed before.

"That's the job that you are too focused on. You must know that people who focus on something are the easiest to ignore time." The adjutant put a coat on Auston and did not flatter the old man in his mouth.

The temporary command center was set up in several huts, which were actually the living area of ​​a rancher in the past. Because the ranch was too big, the white rancher must have been too busy with his family. For this reason, he hired many helpers to help manage his ranch. Over time, this ranch formed a living area.

Although the buildings in these living areas can only satisfy the living and office purposes of some senior officers and are far from meeting the needs of the entire group of troops. However, they are nothing to Australian soldiers who are used to camping at night.

"General, I'm glad to receive your invitation to share such a wonderful afternoon tea time with you." Lieutenant General Plains raised his tea cup and greeted Auston sitting opposite him.

"Plans, although I don't like to talk about business at this time. But now everything is lacking for us, including time. I need you to report to me everything I want to know during this time." Auston shook his teacup expressionlessly, and the exquisite Chinese porcelain indicates his valuable value.

"My general as you wish." Plains put down the teacup to make his story smoother. Although there is no military map here, he knew that for the old man in front of him, the distance between the place names he had to say and the regions between the regions he had to wait for was data that could be drawn from his mind at any time.

Even a little mistake would make the old man unhappy. At this point, Plains admired and feared General Auston.

"Now we have gathered more than 26,000 soldiers from Mount Carverna to Mara, which borders Northland and South Australia. These soldiers formed three temporary blocking lines along the railway and highway lines. On these lines, we have prepared more than 160 artillery pieces of four inches or more, and forty heavy artillery pieces of six inches."

"The eighty tanks and light tanks of the Third Light Cavalry Division also arrived at the second line of defense by train this morning. I believe that in the face of such firepower, the Chinese will only leave a large number of corpses to achieve your reputation as General." Plains carefully introduced the matters he prepared, and of course, in the end, he would not forget to give a small compliment to his immediate boss.

"I'm very happy to see you so dedicated, but what I need now is not only to resist the Chinese attack, but I also need more power to fight back. You should know that from some information channels, the Chinese have less than tens of thousands of troops in Alice Springs."

"Although they will also receive certain support in the next few days, they are fighting away from the local area, and all the reinforcements they can get will need to be transported from thousands of miles away. We must seize the time and eliminate them before the other side has formed a larger force. We need to attack."

Although Auston's tone was faint, only those who were familiar with the old man knew that his heart was actually hot. Because the greatest value of a soldier was on the battlefield. Auston reached this new peak of his military career with the help of the invasion of the Chinese.

If Auston defeats the Chinese invading army in the days to come, then all kinds of overwhelming honors will bring Auston's military career to the next peak. Can this not make Auston excited and excited?

"General, we can only use all kinds of forces in our hands to complete the blockade. If we want to carry out a counterattack and annihilation war, we need more reinforcements." Plans carefully tested Auston's anger, and then boldly continued to speak after seeing Auston not getting angry.

"General. Although our troops are more than the Chinese, we have some reports sent back from the front line. I don't think our current troops can smoothly block the Chinese attack. To some extent, I need more reinforcements to stabilize our defense." Plains suddenly smiled bitterly and said the real thing in his heart.

"Continue, Planes." What surprised Planes was that after hearing these things, Auston was not angry. Instead, he encouraged Adair to continue boldly.

"General, although many people say that the Chinese were just using despicable sneak attacks to catch us off guard, from the various news we can collect about the Chinese, we can be sure that the weapons in the hands of the Chinese are far more advanced than the old-fashioned rifles in our hands."

"According to the news received by several soldiers who escaped from the wilderness, we can know that the more than 3,000 people who disappeared in Alice Springs were annihilated by the opposite Chinese troops in less than three hours. While this news surprised me, I also began to ponder whether we can support such a powerful offensive and firepower."

Plains took a deep breath of cold air to calm himself down. The news received by the soldiers rescued by the search and reconnaissance team in front of him had once surprised Adal. In addition to being surprised, he couldn't help but begin to reexamine his power and the power contrast of the Chinese people described by these soldiers.

"General, from the defeated soldiers, I can confirm that our opponent is far stronger than we imagined. I don't think we can defeat each other with this little power in our hands. And our ridiculous intelligence department even ridiculously delivered the information from the Australian History Museum sixty years ago to me as important military reports."

"Can't we keep these wastes who sit in the office and drink coffee every day to do something to deserve the salary they receive?" Speaking of this, Plains obviously felt very angry because in the eyes of some people, these intelligence officers were malfeasance or dereliction of duty.

In Plains's eyes, this is simply joking about the lives of tens of thousands of Australian soldiers, which is no different from sending the soldiers to death directly.

"Calm down, let's talk about the key points. Of course I know what the trash behind are, but we are soldiers and our duty is to obey. The opponents we are facing now are indeed very strong. It is because of this that I need to know more about your ideas and practices." Auston's stern face finally showed a smile.

He was very happy to see that his most trusted subordinates did not treat his opponent seriously and pragmatically as the trash-those who were thinking behind him. Auston was very pleased that Plains could clearly know the strength of the Chinese people on the other side.

"General. Thank you for your understanding. After a preliminary understanding of the situation of the Chinese, although we still lack understanding of them, we can also understand a certain situation of our opponent. The opponent lacks air support such as aircraft. This is a good thing for us who also lack an air force."

"Although the opponent's firepower is strong, it is not without weaknesses. The Chinese have to consume a large amount of supplies in every battle. A large amount of supplies is required for a large amount of supplies. For a long time, the Chinese troops attacking the southern line have been attacking south along the railway and highway lines. Therefore, I have concentrated on shrinking the focus of defense on these three defense lines now, and I have not distributed too many troops to set up blocking positions on the eastward highway."

"In my opinion, the transportation capacity of roads and railways is completely incomparable. The Chinese will only occupy more land along the road after opening the railway line. At this point, some of the war reports from the East and West lines also confirm this."

Plains, who has been studying the strategic deployment of the Chinese army, has a very clear idea of ​​the enemy's combat style, which is enough to prove that he is not a wine bag that can only rely on his family background to climb to the position of lieutenant general.

"For this reason, I not only tend to focus my defense on the railway line, but also focused on burying a large number of ** on a long railway line. Once needed, I will order the entire railway to blow up. In my opinion, this method of only slightly destroying the railway was correct but not thorough. Faced with such a powerful opponent, we cannot expect to defeat the opponent quickly and win. We need to make arduous preparations for long-term combat."

Nodding as a recognition of Plains's work, Auston affirmed the other party's hard work.

"Plans, you are well prepared. I am glad you are not stupid enough to look at your opponent from the perspective of decades ago. I also know that the troops you have on hand are far from enough. These forces are far from being severely damaged by the Chinese. For this reason, I applied for more support from the rear to reinforce us."

"I believe that in the next two days, these reinforcements will arrive one after another." Auston's words lit up Plains's eyes. Having more reinforcements means that he can not only withstand the Chinese attack, but also withdraw troops to counterattack the opponent. Being beaten is never the right way, and only the best offense is the best defense.

"But before that, Plains, I need you to nail these defense lines like nails. You cannot let the Chinese break through these three defense lines. At the same time, you must stick to them. You cannot let them divide their troops to engage in roundabout battles. I need you to do your best to help me attract the opponent's main force!" Auston's sonorous and powerful voice also foreshadowed his decisive determination.

"Yes! I swear to you with the reputation of my family, and I will swear to defend these three lines of defense with the honor of my family!"

"Very good, Plains, you are responsible for the defense and drag the opponent down. I will conduct a roundabout encirclement and cut off the Chinese's logistics to fight a beautiful annihilation battle. Although the Chinese are very strong, they fail to fight away from the local area. As long as we can cut off their logistics supplies and eliminate them, it is not difficult."

Auston said this sentence in an understatement by him, and his confidence also infected Plains. As long as he could discover and grasp the other party's weaknesses and develop his own advantages. As Auston said, it was actually very simple.

Just as Auston and Plains were enjoying the afternoon tea time outside the house and discussing some important matters for the future battle, they could not have imagined that at nearly five thousand meters away, a small land bundle that was said to be not high, several people who were almost confused with the surrounding vegetation and land were whispering to each other, whispering to each other everything they saw through the high-power observation mirror.

"The distance between 4,600 and scattered fixed buildings, and some radio antennas were found on the periphery. Although the density was not high, judging from the number of detected so far, the density was denser than the radio areas I have seen in the past."

"The frequency of vehicles entering and exiting is also higher than that of other places, and the number of guards and patrols is much higher than that of other areas. Several senior generals were found on the lawn outside the house. The distance between the ranks was too far away to be confirmed and identified, but from the color of the collar flowers, they were definitely general-level commanders."

"All observers should pay attention to distinguish between the Australian military officers who have been discovered, especially the general level and the school officer. Report immediately after discovery. There are more soldiers and fewer soldiers to look at the officers. I guess this is the command of the Australian military southern line. It seems that we have found a big fish." A voice conveyed the joy of the speaker in a low voice.
