Chapter 721: The Conquest of Australia 8


On the south bank of the Brisbane River, this river is also known as the Tianjing River.In the command tent of the British army, the commanders were studying the offensive strategy against the map.This time, Victoria and New South Wales, each state sent 50,000 troops, all under the command of the militia commander.Antonio, the commander of Victoria's militia, is a native Australian and a third-generation migrant whose grandparents migrated from the UK.The commander of the militia in New South Wales is named Ryan, who is older than Antonio, belongs to the fourth generation of immigrants, and has no affection for the suzerain.Therefore, when the Governor's Palace was attacked, the militia did not organize to rescue for a long time, knowing that all of them were assembled after dawn.Although it is said that the British sent the governor to be in charge of military and political power, in fact, the Australian mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the local politicians have a lot of autonomy, and they do not obey the governor's dispatch at critical times.The reason why Antonio and Ryan cooperated with Bruce this time was because they wanted to divide the interests after the war, not out of resentment against the Chinese, all of which was just a performance by politicians.Except that the common people will believe this, their eyes are bright, and the killing of Governor Johnson is now inconclusive in the hearts of politicians.After all, Xinhuaxia is too far away from Sydney, and they are not worth tossing around in Sydney City, and then quickly withdrawing."

Report, generals, a Chinese envoy has come to talk to us for peace" The herald broke the meeting in the command tent and urgently informed the generals of the latest situation."

Oh" All the generals were stunned, nothing like this had ever happened before.In their eyes, the Chinese's waist pole is hard, "What happened to these Chinese when they fought with us before, but they all resolutely resisted" Ryan showed a mocking look, it turned out that their two states had also organized several battles to recover lost territory, but each time they were defeated, and they had never seen the Chinese take the initiative to sue for peace."

It's strange, when did these Chinese become so timid, did they see Governor Bruce's regular army coming, and their pants were scared to pee" Antonio also laughed, full of confidence in this battle.With Bruce's 30,000 latest equipment, he no longer pays attention to the Chinese."

Let's meet these lowly Chinese and see how they appeal to us for peace" Bruce also laughed arrogantly, waved his hand and signaled the herald to bring the Chinese messenger up.Soon, a good-looking Chinese envoy was brought into the command tent by the heralds.He was Xu Ming, who had followed Shi Dakai and took root in Australia together, and had been working as a translator and envoy in New China."

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the letter that our prime minister handed over to you, please take a look at it carefully and give me an answer as soon as possible" As soon as Xu Ming entered the command account, he owed a debt to the foreign devil without humility or arrogance, and handed over the peace book in his hand to the foreign devil.He spoke in a standard London accent, which amazed everyone in the tent, and just listening to the voice, they thought Xu Ming was British."

What else are you talking about, you just lay down your weapons and act as our slaves, maybe we will let you go" Bruce arrogantly threw the Washo to the ground, now that the soldiers are pressing, victory is close to him, he doesn't even bother to look at this thing.Xu Ming chuckled, bent down to pick up the book, and dusted it off with his fingers."

You don't know, my prime minister is here to inform you of a confidential military situation.The army of New China will soon land in your two states, and this time it is not only the navy but also the large-scale army that will come.What our prime minister means is that I don't want the two of us to fight to the death and let the Huaxing Army of New China take advantage of it in vain" Xu Ming directly told the foreign devil about the book with an arrogant face, he didn't know that the above things were just guessed by Shi Dakai.Because Xu Ming believed that Hua Xingjun was coming, he was full of confidence in his heart.In his heart, the Huaxin Army is invincible wherever it goes."

Fart, what are you talking about, the Huaxing Army is coming early, how can you wait until this time" Bruce was nervous, afraid that the other two militia commanders would believe this, and the two of them really frowned and thought about it, the Huaxing Army was like a devil to them.As long as they heard this name, their hearts and livers trembled.It is precisely because of the Huaxing Army that they all walked around the southern part of Australia, and they did not dare to take a step into the northern seas at all."

Chinese, don't talk nonsense here, we won't go back to you and tell your prime minister, this battle is settled" Antonio was the first to add, but in his heart he thought of quickly informing the governor and parliament of the news."

yes, get out of here.Tell you Prime Minister, either surrender or go to war, you can only choose one" Ryan also made a statement, neither of them is a professional soldier, more of a politician.I don't say anything to my face, but I think I'll send the message to the council right away, "That's good, gentlemen."

Before leaving, I hope that you will seriously consider the matter of peace talks.Although we in New China belong to a state of New China, like you, we do not want to be interfered by our mother country.Therefore, peace talks are the best choice for everyone, and I don't believe that you can attack after a while.If the Huaxing army really attacks on a large scale, you still have room to save it" Obedient and listen, as soon as Xu Ming heard their tone, he knew that they had seriously considered this matter in their hearts.So when he left, he added seriously, and there was no appearance of lying at all."

Chinese, get out of here, are you waiting for me to send you with bullets" Bruce got up depressedly and cursed, completely losing a jazz bearing.He could also see that although the two militia commanders still advocated attacking, they obviously felt a little withdrawn.After Xu Ming retreated, the British generals discussed in the command tent, and did not come up with a specific offensive strategy.Who is responsible for the defense, who is responsible for the attack, who is responsible for the supply of food and grass, the two militia commanders are trying their best to be perfunctory.Bruce also knew what they were thinking, and after waving the meeting, he urgently called Joseph and Jackson in to discuss countermeasures.After Ryan and Antonio went out, they hurriedly returned to the army and asked their men to send the information out quickly, and told the council to consider the matter.In their drive, Hua Xingjun did have the intention of moving seriously this time.After all, Bruce brought more than 30,000 people to Australia to break the military balance here, and it was impossible for the Huaxing Army to sit idly by.The situation is indeed as the Chinese envoy said, if all the troops are spent here, the rear will be completely empty, and the Huaxing army can easily land in the rear, and the consequences will be unimaginable:
