"Everyone knows the theme of this meeting, and they are all hidden, and now we will discuss the issue of marching into Australia" Qiao Zhiqing opened straightforwardly, and there was no need to go around in circles to talk to these soldiers."
President, this is the military plan we have formulated, let me explain it to you" Wang Shumao handed a report to Qiao Zhiqing, and then walked to the military map opposite Qiao Zhiqing, holding a command baton and explaining up and down, "President, please see, Australia is located in the southern sea of our country, facing the sea on all sides.At present, only the coastal areas in the northeast and southeast are developed, and the rest of the country is still wilderness.Our New Huaxia State of the Greater China Federation is located in the northeast, which is also a springboard and base for us to enter Australia. ”Wang Shumao paused, waiting for Qiao Zhiqing to signal."
Continue" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the map, compared with the strategic plan in his hand, and quickly spun and thought in his mind."
In this march into Australia, our Ministry of Defense unanimously decided that the Guangzhou Military Region would be responsible, and a total of four routes of troops would be dispatched, with a total of more than 120,000 soldiers and horses.These four armies were transported by the East Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet, respectively, and the South China Sea Fleet continued to cruise the Indian Ocean to prevent British reinforcements from returning to India.Now the British have only two colonies in Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, and according to reliable information, they are armed with old Enfield breech rifles, and there is no regular army, all of which are militia forces.Therefore, we planned to attack in two directions, one way to land in the new Huaxia State first, and attract the British army to the north.One route was then transported directly by the navy and landed in Melbourne, Victoria, to flank the British from both north and south. ”Wang Shumao pointed to the landing site in two directions on the map, which had been clearly marked.Qiao Zhiqing kept looking at the specific plan in his hand, and did not rush to express his opinion, but looked up at the markers of the map from time to time.The generals' eyes were all focused on him, lest he be dissatisfied with something."
Very well, this military plan is very well thought out."
Qiao Zhiqing put down the military report and smiled, before the generals had time to relax, he added, "But there is still something missing in this report of yours, that is, the problem of logistics and supply, Australia is alone, unlike India, we can transport grain and grass by land."
The grain and grass of the 120,000 army is not a small number, how should you solve this problem" "President, this time we can rely on New Huaxia Prefecture to provide supplies" Wang Shumao returned to his seat, frowning a little puzzled.The generals were also discussing, and they didn't know what Qiao Zhiqing's plan was."
Do you know what the situation is in New Huaxia Prefecture" Qiao Zhiqing did not answer, but asked about other things."
Of course I know, isn't New Huaxia Prefecture an armed force established by the remnants of the Taiping Army" "Yes, President, isn't New Huaxia Prefecture a prisoner of the Taiping Army who pacified Sichuan""" The generals answered one after another, and everyone here followed Qiao Zhiqing from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, of course they knew the situation in New Huaxia Prefecture."
Well, no one has forgotten it.There are nearly 100,000 remnants of the Taiping Army in New Huaxia Prefecture, and we have also provided them with military factories and enough breech rifles.They used to have different political views from us, and now they have such great strength, and they will not easily cooperate with us, not to mention counting on them to provide us with logistical supplies, this is just your unilateral conjecture, and war should never be judged by intuition.Whatever decision you make, make sure it's safe.As commanders, don't easily gamble with the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers, once something happens on the battlefield, we will suffer immeasurable losses" Qiao Zhiqing's face returned to seriousness, and his eyes looked around at the generals to give them a wake-up call."
President, in that case, why did we still raise tigers in the first place" "President, didn't New China admit to joining the Great China Federation As long as we give an order, do they have the courage not to help" "President, according to what you say, do we still have to consider the issue of them putting cold guns in the back" "The generals all widened their eyes in confusion, they are just generals, not politicians, and they will not take this into account when considering problems.Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand, got up and stood in front of the map and thought for a long time, and only after everyone was quiet did he slowly spit out, "Remember, even if they don't help us, they are all flesh and blood compatriots of the Han nationality."
Brothers can't be killed, is it because of this, do you still want to kill them cleanly, we have to understand them, fathers and sons and brothers are still enemies for the sake of profit, not to mention this large-scale military operation.Have you ever thought that the grain and grass of more than 100,000 soldiers for a day may be the savings of Xinhua Xiabang for half a year?
They are just establishing themselves in Australia, where much of the land is not suitable for farming, only for raising livestock.The food in their hands is only enough for food and clothing.When we suddenly asked them to hand over their food, it was like taking their lives. ”The generals were silent, all thinking about this question in their hearts, and they all blushed at the complaint just now."
To sum up, we have two goals this time.The first is to drive out the British, and the second is to disarm the armed forces of the new Huaxia State and replace it with our Huaxing Army.As for the landing site, we don't have to count on the new Huaxia state.Now Australia's naval power has been completely wiped out by us.And their coastline defense is also very fragile.One of our troops landed in Melbourne, and the other army landed directly in Sydney, still encircling the British army in accordance with the north-south flanking strategy" Qiao Zhiqing pointed to the location of Sydney on the map, and changed the first landing site directly from the new Huaxia State here.The soldiers only now understood that Qiao Zhiqing wanted to take over the armed forces of the states in an all-round way."
President, what should we do if the new Huaxia state does not accept the order to disarm" Vice Minister of Defense Wang Shijie frowned, according to Qiao Zhiqing, if the Han people do not fight the Han people, then how should this battle be fought."
Don't worry about this, as long as your 120,000 troops pacify southeastern Australia, they will naturally accept this condition.Now that the militia reserve system is implemented in New Huaxia Prefecture, the soldiers are both soldiers and farmers, and they have long been tired of war.If it weren't for the invasion of the foreign tribes, or if they were driven to their death, they would not have resisted.In a word, we can't count on them to help us, but we can't use force to retaliate against them This is a political matter, you just need to conquer the British colonies beautifully" Qiao Zhiqing knew what the generals were thinking, and these boys must have felt aggrieved.But he didn't want to do cannibalism anymore, so he could only rely on a strong military deterrent to bring the leadership of New Huaxia Prefecture to its knees.This is indeed not a military problem, what Qiao Zhiqing only needs is the military leadership of Xinhuaxia Prefecture, not for them to hand over the administrative power, and there is no conflict between life and death between the two.Now among the states, there are also Indonesia and the Philippines with their own armed forces, one is still a remnant of the Taiping, and the other is a remnant of the Boxer Rebellion.These two armed forces are not worth mentioning, and as long as Xinhua hands over its military power, there will naturally be no opposition from these two places.At present, most of the states of the Great China Federation, except for Japan and Korea, are Han Chinese.Qiao Zhiqing did not want any more Han people to be oppressed, and if he did not take military power, he would not be able to form effective control over the states, and some of them would not obey the orders of the central government and secretly adopt a policy of enslaving the people."
Listen to the president's order" all the generals stood up and saluted, and no one dared to complain about anything."
Alright, that's it for the meeting.Take the problem of logistics and supply into account, and then draw up a military plan" Qiao Zhiqing finally showed a smile, got up and dismissed the meeting, said goodbye to the generals, and took Wei Ziyou back to the presidential palace.Wei Ziyou followed him into the study, and asked Qiao Zhiqing with some puzzlement, "Brother Qiao, according to what you mean, is it possible for the New Huaxia Army to sneak attack us behind our backs" "No possibility, as long as I don't land in New Huaxia Prefecture, don't touch their fundamental interests, and ask them for food and grass, they won't dare to take such a risk" Qiao Zhiqing shook his head, sat down at the desk, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat."
Didn't you say that the British army that escaped from Barisal went to Australia, then why don't you wait for Xinhuaxia to be defeated and take the initiative to ask us for help, so that we don't have to make so much trouble, they will definitely voluntarily hand over the armed forces in their hands and ask for our assistance" Wei Ziyou made an opinion, she listened to Qiao Zhiqing a lot, and also knew that the armed forces of the New Huaxia Army must not be the opponent of this British army."
The Navy will soon have news that if the British army really arrives in Australia, it will launch an attack on New China.Until the last moment, the leadership of New China will not be willing to give up the power in its hands and seek our help.By the time they opened their mouths to us, it was too late, and in the end it was still us Han who were killed or injured, so we had to take the initiative to attack, and once the navy sent back the news, we would immediately send troops to Australia" Qiao Zhiqing sighed helplessly, human nature is so selfish.If you expect the leadership of Xinhuaxia to be selfless and take the initiative to hand over their vested interests, it is undoubtedly gambling with the lives of Huaxingjun."
Brother Qiao, I'm afraid that you are the only one in this world who really thinks about the Han nation, and only you can be called selfless.At that time, the Taiping army and the Qing court fought to the death, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and other Qing court ministers, like the Taiping army, were all out-and-out Han people, but they were willing to die for the Manchus.We were fratricidal, but in the end we benefited the Manchus.The selfishness of human nature is indeed terrible, in order to compete for interests, no one thinks about it as much as you" Wei Ziyou also looked at Qiao Zhiqing sadly, sincerely admiring and worshipping him.He seems to have really been sent by God to save the Han nation, and he is not a little selfish in his heart.No matter what you do, it is for the sake of this nation.If it is someone else, it doesn't matter if Xinhuaxia is Han or a brother.He has millions of elite soldiers in his hands, and crushing them to death is like crushing an ant.All it took was one order to disarm them immediately.If they don't obey, then go straight to the fight, and use force and killing to make them submit.I'm afraid that no one will be as aggrieved as he is, and try his best to preserve this nation.If the leadership of New Huaxia had such a little consciousness, they should have taken the initiative to relinquish their military power and ask the Huaxing Army to be stationed.In the final analysis, they still didn't want Qiao Zhiqing to interfere with them too much and spit out what they had eaten in their mouths.How good it is to be a mountain king by yourself, who wants to put a shackle around their neck.In the final analysis, their joining of the Great China Federation was also a last resort, not a surrender from the bottom of their hearts
