Australia is crazily strengthening maritime defense, with countless mines investing at any cost. The mine is very simple and has a lower technical content than shells. Even incomplete industrial countries like Australia can produce them. In the past, there were not many spares in the navy, which was not enough to block the entire port. Now, at the stalls that may come to the emperor level, most Australian military-industrial enterprises have switched to producing mines.

As long as there are raw materials, the efficiency of conversion is very high, and the quantity is guaranteed. Countless mines sprinkled into the sea like dumplings, blocking the Australian port. At this moment, Cheng Biguang had no idea what was happening in Australia. The four emperor-level ships he led had just passed Cape Horn and entered the Drake Strait. This is the widest and deepest strait in the world. Before the Panama Canal was opened, it was a busy waterway. Even now, it is one of the important maritime channels.

However, now, it is a depression here. On the one hand, Panama's connection has allowed most ships to pass through Panama. In this era, most merchant ships can pass through Panama. There are many ships with greater traffic capacity than the Panama Canal. Very few are not the mainstream. Although one side of the Panama Canal was attacked by Cheng Biguang, it is no longer used, and most ships have not yet bypassed. Besides, China is so fierce against the United States that they dare not circulate Cape Horn before they are not sure that these warships have completely left the Americas. Even if there is a possibility, they will be miserable. If the American flag that is showing off in America, they will die.

The completion of a sneak attack on the United States not only destroyed Wall Street and Panama, but even before leaving, more than 100 battleships, including 12 battleships and more than 100 warships had exceeded the task. Before coming to North America, Yang Yuanzhao, he could not imagine that the four fantasy-class ships could achieve such great results. As for Cheng Biguang, he might just think that Yang Yuanzhao was just a symbolic revenge, able to obtain a little bit of sunk numbers, and also hit the United States.

No one expected that the result would be so brilliant. The powerful United States had almost no defense. Not only did it achieve breakthrough results on Wall Street, but it almost swept the entire United States wherever it was, and it reached the extreme in Panama. Not only did it kill the Panama Canal that the United States spent decades and spent huge amounts of money to build, the United States actually lost this canal within one or two years and sank 12 battleships. No matter which achievement is, it can be called incredible glory, let alone these achievements combined. No matter what the course of the war, how many wonderful naval battles will occur in the future, Cheng Biguang, who commanded this battle, can be recorded in history.

Perhaps it was the dullness after **. Cheng Biguang was very relaxed since he passed through Cape Hoen. He did not say that he had completely relaxed his vigilance. The level of vigilance had been reduced from the original highest level to level 5. He only turned on the radar and fixed observation. There was a seaplane hovering in the surrounding 40 kilometers. Compared with the previous one, at least 8 seaplanes, searching within more than 100 kilometers uninterrupted during the day, it was much lower than that.

Such a warning scale is actually the lowest, and it is impossible to completely remove the warning. Of course, if you enter the Chinese waters, such as passing the Philippines and entering the South China Sea, it can be reduced to the level of only observation and radar. In unfamiliar waters, this is already the lowest. This can only be guarded against sneak attacks by battleships, and it is still a small-scale one. Once a large-scale ship surrounds, the fleet may not be able to escape.

Cheng Biguang knew very well that in the Battle of the Caribbean, 12 battleships were sent to the bottom of the sea, which had already shown the power of the emperor level. In this case, there were fewer warships, and if there were more warships, the Allies would not have the courage. Apart from guarding against sneak attacks by small groups of troops, the rest were basically ignored. In fact, the British and American powers were far less bold and dared to send small groups of forces to sneak attacks in South America. They were calm along the way, without enemies, and without crossing ships.

The Drake Strait is a good strait with rich fishery. In this era, there was not much development. After a peaceful journey, when leaving the Drake Strait and entering the Pacific Ocean, Cheng Biguang chose a relatively remote channel. This choice is of course for his own safety, not to hide his own sneak attack. Although Cheng Biguang himself once thought about taking action in Australia, and even a few young officers under his command were instigating, some more mature officers all opposed it. In the Americas, the entire fleet fought for two months. In a completely hostile environment, all the surrounding enemies were enemies. The fantasy level was very powerful. The four ships confronted a powerful country. Just think about it and it was impossible. If they fell into an unfavorable state, it would be a catastrophe.

From top to bottom, all the officers and soldiers were under great mental pressure. In addition, they moved to the United States and Panama in two months. At least a dozen wars, especially the last one, they seemed to have a fantasy level defeated their opponents and won the final victory of the war. However, in fact, they almost wandered on the edge of the knife. Any failure was a result of doom. Therefore, after entering the North American route and lowering the warning indicators, it seemed that the string that had been tight suddenly relaxed. The officers and soldiers all had problems of varying degrees. It can be said without hesitation that in the United States, if the fantasy level was 100%, or even 120%, the combat power of the fantasy level is now less than 60%. Although this can be used to attack Australia, it is better to forget it.

Perhaps, it takes at least one month to rest in Southeast Asia before the Fantasy level can restore its full combat effectiveness. Now, Cheng Biguang’s biggest wish is to bring the Fantasy level back successfully. None of these experienced soldiers should be missing. The position of these soldiers is to impart experience. Even if they impart their knowledge to three or two people, it will increase the strength of the Chinese fleet, crossing 20,000 kilometers, raiding the opponent’s city for a long distance, and finally confronting a fleet with a tonnage far higher than theirs. These are rich experiences.

In order to make it possible for the emperor to appear in front of us, Australia is crazily laying mines at the ports, including ports in the three major cities, and even some small and medium-sized ports. The entire southeastern waters are full of mines, which also makes Australia safer for a long time. Australia's mines are almost casually arranged, without a complete map. One point on this side and one point on the other side, there are mines in large areas. In addition to climate changes such as ocean currents and monsoons, the mines are floating there. For a long time, no ship dares to come here. On the premise of cutting off Australia's foreign aid, it also avoids Australia being attacked by China's dominant navy.

Australia focused on defense in the southeastern waters, but Darwin's actions were intensifying. After transporting army and military supplies to Darwin's merchant ships, after unloading the goods, returned to East Timor as soon as possible, and gradually transferred the remaining supplies to Darwin. More and more personnel and more machinery were concentrated in East Timor, the Chinese began to expand Darwin's port, a 3,000-ton port, without any tower cranes and lifting equipment, and the efficiency was too low. The Chinese engineers were preparing to temporarily renovate a dock in about a month, so that it had the ability to pass through containers, and expanded the berth from 3,000-ton to 10,000-ton.

In addition to expanding the port, Darwin's construction is also continuing. Temporary houses and tents cannot support long-term combat. For Australia's operations, it will be a long-term and lasting war. Zhang Xiaohuai knew this. Only by controlling Darwin's core port and basic point, the next step is to continue to expand and take steady steps, which is the first task that must be carried out.

However, with the gradual arrival of Chinese personnel, the personnel and machinery could not be expanded in Darwin, so they were released. High-standard roads that penetrated the entire northern region began to be built. Australia's backwardness is all-round, including highways. Except for some simple roads on the southeast coast, there are no roads in other places. For China, which entered the automobile era, whether there are roads is completely different.

At present, it is impossible for China to build railways and highways to the extent of Australia, but it must be built in the northern region, and a complete base will be formed here. After the strength here has accumulated to a certain level, a war will be launched next year and central Australia will be included in the sphere of influence. At that time, the highway will be built. With the help of Darwin and even the central transfer base, China's attack on the entire Australian territory will not be a tree without fate and will not have logistical problems.

The Chinese did not hide the actions of anyone, but they were the most stable and solid. Although Australia knew what happened near Darwin, it could not believe China's speed. It was not difficult for three days to build a floor every three days, and the laying speed of 12 kilometers per day, which made the road network spread throughout Australia. Even the Australian government did not luxuriously build such high standards and high-density roads in the northern region. These Chinese people did it. The top leaders of Australia knew very well that the Chinese would be able to make their goals bigger with such a large capital. Perhaps, this is not a partial teacher, but the focus of the real attack. (To be continued.)
