At this time, firecrackers were fired. After almost 4 months of emergency repair, the Hawaii Port was finally completed. It was at least one month later than Guam Port, but Hawaii got it much later than Guam. The reason why it was so smooth is that on the one hand, the construction of Hawaii's port is far less difficult than Guam. Guam's bay was not prepared for the port, although it was suitable. Hawaii was so suitable. On the other hand, in addition to sea transportation, air transportation also played a role.

Hawaii is far above Midway Island, not only at the forefront of China and the United States, but also as long as a naval war breaks out in the future, it will definitely be the front line. Therefore, most of the air forces in China support the establishment of Hawaii's counties.

Hawaii's high-standard airport has not been completed yet. As long as the leveling work is completed, the temporary steel plate combination airport will be projected and cannot withstand the top 4-engine long-range strategic transport aircraft. However, some medium-sized and ordinary 4-engine transport aircraft are still OK. A plane is more than 30 tons, which seems to be incomparable to ships, but the speed of the aircraft is fast enough, especially in Guam. When the construction reaches a certain level, some materials can be flew to Guam for transportation and then flew to Hawaii, which will take a lot less time.

In just three months, China has successively transported 500 million tons of materials to the Southwest Pacific, most of which are steel bars, cement and other construction materials. Unlike the mainland, it is impossible to transport equipment to build a large-scale steel base, hundreds of square kilometers or even thousands of square kilometers of land, just like Alaska. However, for a comprehensive base of an island, every land cannot be wasted easily, so most of the materials must be transported by ship.

This is how the construction of islands is. With large-scale investment, the freight costs are very considerable, but even ordinary islands must be built, not to mention high-standard islands like Hawaii. With the huge investment of manpower and material resources, the entire Hawaii has changed. On the third largest island, not only has a military base that can accommodate an army of 700,000, but also a modern airport.

Of course, there is only one 3,500-meter runway. In the future, the military airport will increase to 4, the largest of which will have 46 runways of various types, including 5,000 meters of high-standard runways, at least 12. The huge hangar built in the mountains can accommodate 2,500 aircraft, including 300 strategic bombers and transport aircraft, which will become the strike force located at the core of the Pacific Ocean.

This is probably the largest airport that China has deployed on overseas islands. Once the arrangement is completed, it will be equivalent to the power of 25 aircraft carriers. The flight radius of the combat aircraft and the surrounding 2,500 kilometers are all attackable. Even radar can detect 500 kilometers away. In other words, no matter day and night, within 500 kilometers, it is an absolute restricted area. It is discouraged by itself within 2,500 kilometers, and there are regular cruises and searches. It is basically unlikely that a fleet will come to pass by.

The development of Hawaii is comprehensive. In addition to volcanic islands, some of the remaining stable islands will be stationed with one or two airports. The entire Hawaii range will have a capacity of 4,500 aircraft, which is enough to make the waters around Hawaii as impeccable. Aircraft will always be the best weapon, attack and defense will be like this. Until later generations, unless there is a large-scale generation difference, attacking a country with air supremacy and eliminating opponents' aircraft will always be the first thing to do. If not, ground troops will basically not be deployed or invested.

Hawaii has developed tremendously, and Guam is not bad. Although it is not as good as Hawaii in terms of area, it has 500-degree square kilometers of land. In the future, it will have 32 military aircraft, 1,800 Guam and Hawaii echo each other. In addition, dozens of islands developed around, with a total area of ​​more than 5 square kilometers, some of which are just one or two runways. However, the entire Southwest Pacific is safe. When all the projects are completed, this area will have at least 12,000 aircraft, of which 20% are long-range strategic aircraft, and almost more than 10% of China's long-range strategic aircraft are arranged here. With these intersecting responses, the entire Southwest Pacific is solid, at least in Yang Yuanzhao's heart, and there is no power to break the defense here.

It can be said that for China, in the year of 1916, the focus was on these islands in the central Pacific Ocean, whether Alaska or Australia, they maintained their current territory and fixed defenses. Especially Australia, unlike Alaska, which is only 1.7 million square kilometers, this is a large island of 7 million square kilometers. If it is rashly aggressive, problems may arise. At that time, once the Chinese team suffered a large-scale blow, or even a certain number of casualties, China's Australian strategy will be hit hard.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohuai is a very steady person. He is not greedy for merit and is just sticking to his original territory. On the one hand, he strengthens construction and completes the construction of the highway that runs through central Australia. On the other hand, he also makes steady progress and stabilizes the situation in Australia.

Due to the different races, China has not received news of Australia's retreat. After all, there are only a dozen submarines, either participating in the top leaders of the Allied Powers or the top leaders of Australia. This is not something that China and Germany can penetrate.

Australia began to retreat, a country with independent capabilities, a country that is already essentially independent. The ideas of its senior management are unified. Most of them believe that Australia should retreat to South Africa and preserve the wealth of the Commonwealth, at least those that are easy to take away. However, a small number of Australians believe that Australia cannot take the initiative to retreat, leave its people, and its territory, is it still a complete country?

Among them, the most ambitious one is Australia's Deputy Minister of Defense Ferrola. He is the most radical among all the Australian senior officials. He actively promoted Australia to join the European war and demonstrated Australia's strength at the expense and war. He was the most important person in this regard, but when the senior officials determined to retreat to South Africa, Ferrola, who appeared to agree with him, had a different idea in his heart.

Among the top Australian officials who are over 55 years old, Ferrola, who is only 37 years old, is a teenager. He is a lawyer and proficient in international law. He became a well-known Australian lawyer in his 20s. Later, he joined the political arena, and went all the way to the position of Deputy Minister of Defense, promoting participation in the European War in order to give Australia enough social status and enhance the influence of his independent country in the world. In the future, when a large number of senior officials withdrew from the stage of history, he will be able to take over and become a powerful figure.

Things have changed now, and China's combat effectiveness has far exceeded Australia's imagination. In this case, not only did it fail to succeed and go further, but it is possible to retreat as a minister. Unlike other senior officials, Ferrora has not served in the Australian government for a long time, and has no experience in the British Governor's Office. He has no certain relationships and backgrounds within the UK. Others can leave because after leaving, they can make a comeback, but he cannot.

Because after leaving, they really became British ministers, and they were not even considered ministers. The leader of an eradicated country, with a huge amount of money, went to the sect leader country. In this situation, they would definitely be eaten up. By then, there would be no money, no status, and no power. Isn't it just that both ends were lost, especially for him, unless he turned back and became a lawyer, he would probably not even be able to guarantee his status.

Ferrora has unimaginable ambitions when she turned to the UK and could not achieve his wish, it would be better to cut off the fire. They took the initiative to contact the Germans and informed Australia that it was retreating and transporting various precious metals on a large scale.

After the Germans received the news, they were surprised that this had little to do with them. They focused more on Europe. If they could defeat the Allies in Europe, Germany could win the war. Australia was the battlefield for China, but out of the responsibility of their allies, the Germans informed China of the news.

Now, it's simple. Don't you want to run away? Then you can ban all the surface ships. Next, a large number of Chinese ships came to various ports in Australia, not for attacking or working with the army inside and outside. They also laid mines. Since Australia has arranged so many, China will set up randomly, which will have little effect on Australian mines. Even if they can leave some channels, what can they do if these channels are covered by China? These channels will not work.

If China only knows this through intelligence, perhaps Australia still has a chance, and mines don’t have many ways to deal with submarines. However, China has received a notice from the Australian senior management that there are more than 10 submarines that are helping Australia transport. This is bad news. Australia is rich in various precious metals, at least more than 100 tons of gold and 5,000 tons of silver, and other copper, iron, zinc and tin. These are also transported away. Even if China gets Australia, its harvest will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, China sent out some destroyers or anti-submarine destroyers on the southeast coast of Australia. The United States can use sonar to severely damage German submarines, almost completely bankrupting the German seawolf tactics. This shows the huge role of sonar. China's outstanding achievements in semiconductors have surpassed electron tubes and transistors and entered the level of integrated circuits. At this level, the performance of sonar is much stronger than that of the United States. Even China's new submarines cannot be completely immune, let alone these British and American submarines. If it were not for capturing these submarines, they could send all these submarines underwater in just one round of attack.

After accurate layout, the position was accurately determined with sonar, and with the help of various weapons and coercion, the submarine was finally captured. This was a 700-ton submarine with a full load displacement of only 750 tons, which means that its load capacity was about 35 tons. More than 3 tons of gold and 30 tons of silver were produced from the middle, which was a great harvest.

It was just intelligence before, but now it has grasped the current situation. According to the exchange standards of this era, there are millions of gains at one time. These are precious metals and can exist as issuance currencies. The value of each is several times its own value. Especially after knowing the total number of precious metals in Australia, it is even more impossible for them to leave.

In the following time, China sent at least three times the destroyer and patrolled the Australian seaside. Everything was very successful. After attacking several times and capturing four submarines, it obtained precious metals worth tens of millions of dollars. Australia stopped this dangerous method and could no longer continue. Only the submarines that came to search had been captured, and three were sunk. The rest did not dare to come, which was a dangerous journey. Around Australia, a black hole for submarines, and no submarine was willing to come.

The British only obtained the initial securities, contracts, and so on. These things are one of the most important wealth for Australia. Without these, Britain would not be able to obtain this part of the securities. However, for China, these things are the most useless. China and the Allies are in a state of war. Even if they capture these, they cannot cash out these things. If they really win, they can naturally obtain these things with the power of the victorious country. Instead, they are not as good as these precious metals. After so many years, China has obtained a large amount of gold around the world through foreign trade, mining, acquisitions, etc., to support China's huge economy. Now, if they get Australian gold and gold mines, they can create more currencies in the future, which is a huge good thing for China's financial stability.

The transfer work was just starting to start, and there was no more. A large amount of precious metals existed in Sydney and could not be transferred. The sea surface and under the sea surface were strictly blocked, and even a small windsurfing could not leave. In this case, most Australian officials were also trapped in Australia and could not move. They could only wait for China's attack, like a lamb to be slaughtered. (To be continued.)
