Since Bruce moved here, he replaced the original Chancellery signboard at the entrance with the Governor's Palace written in English.Without waiting for the Queen's order to come down, he himself became interim governor here.When he heard that more than 5,000 people in the logistics unit had been wiped out, he trembled all over.He has been worrying about this problem every day since the army was raised.After all, they have a shaky foothold here, and everything is not fully prepared when they first arrive.Fighting a war is not only a matter of front-line operations, but also a matter of logistical supply.Especially in this undeveloped wilderness, the issue of logistics is even more important.After the army returned to the city in a sparse manner, Joseph went straight back to the governor's palace with a depressed face, and saw that Bruce was not as proud as usual."
Governor, I'm sorry I've disgraced you," Joseph hung his head, blushing like a monkey's ass.His people are not so entangled when they die, the point is that the militia in Victoria is dead.Before leaving, he also made a special promise to the commander of the militia in Victoria that he would do his best to protect the safety of the militia, and as a result, all of them were exposed to the wilderness in the first battle."
Alright, I've already explained this to Antonio, he has my old friend pressing on him, and he won't say anything more this time.It's just that we owe them a personal favor, and we will pay them back later" Bruce waved him to sit down and speak, and the two of them ended up together, and in his heart Bruce was still full of respect for Joseph."
Governor, then what should we do now to pursue the Chinese" Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't swallow this breath.Obviously, the equipment and combat effectiveness are far superior to the Chinese, but here they are led by the nose."
No, let them live one more year.We will resume production as soon as possible, accumulate enough materials, and do not have to look at other people's faces in the future.We suffer losses because we have an unstable foothold, and we do not have the slightest supply.We and the Chinese can't afford this war, and it's impossible to expect others to provide logistical supplies" Bruce sighed, for now he can only think in the long run, and there is no way to take these Chinese for a while."
But didn't the Chinese's envoy say that the army of the Huaxing Army is coming to support soon, can we hold out for so long, after all, this is a subordinate state of New China, they will not watch us occupy here" Joseph raised his eyebrows worriedly, and his heart trembled when he thought of the Huaxing Army.If they do land in a big way, it is estimated that they will not be able to hold out for even a month."
I can only bet once, this is the state of New China.The whole of Australia is still a colony of our Britain, and I don't believe that the queen will watch New China become stronger and stronger, and give up all these colonies.It's really not good, we will go to the mountains and hold on until the queen sends troops to rescue" Bruce revealed, and there was nothing to hide at this time.The fleet has been completely destroyed, and their only way back is to avoid the enemy's edge like the Chinese, and this mountain is to hide."
That's all there is to it now, and I hope the queen doesn't give up on us."
Joseph nodded, now he could only prepare for the worst.But it is also a possibility that the Huaxing army will not come, if they don't come, they will only need a year to gain a foothold here."
Alright, you go down and settle the soldiers.I have been seconding us more than half a year's worth of grain, and I will bring a batch from across the river today.You take someone to receive this batch of grain and grass, so that the soldiers can eat a full meal first" Bruce patted Joseph on the shoulder and cheered him up.Although he didn't know how to march and fight, he was still better in interpersonal relationships.Anyway, food can still be borrowed.The next day, the weather in southeastern Australia was still sunny.Sydney's sandy beaches are even more so, and if it weren't for the soldiers constantly patrolling the shore, it would have been a beautiful holiday destination.In the midst of the waves of the sea, a black dot moves closer and closer to the shoreline.The observers on the shore immediately noticed the situation, and hurriedly climbed the coconut trees on the shore, picked up the binoculars and looked at them carefully.It didn't matter, it almost scared him out of the coconut tree.The black dot in the distance was nothing more than ten huge warships, and the sails alone were sky-high."
If there is a situation, return to the battery quickly" "Urgent military situation, urgent military situation" ""The observer has not yet seen which country's gunboat it is, and quickly blew the military horn in his hand."
The herald under the tree quickly shouted, and after receiving the news, the commander hurriedly asked the militia, who was training on the beach, to quickly rush back to the fort for defense.The heralds quickly galloped across their horses into the city and informed the councillors of the governor's palace.They were discussing in the house whether to send troops to Queensland, after all, a month had passed, and there was not the slightest movement of the Huaxing army at sea.In this war, although they did not contribute manpower, they also contributed material resources.After the end of the war, how can you also score some benefits.As soon as the herald arrived, all the councillors were stunned.His mouth trembled and muttered, "Coming, they are still coming" "What can I do about this, what the Chinese envoy said is true" ""The parliamentary room was suddenly like a fryer, a middle-aged man quickly got up and waved at everyone, "Everyone is quiet, the situation has not been clarified, the person who came does not know whether it is Chinese, maybe it is our British reinforcements" The middle-aged man is none other than Ryan, the commander of the militia in New South Wales, and he is also a member of parliament.The British governor in the colonies did not allow locals to serve as governors, and all of them were sent by British locals.Although Sorion has prestige in the House of Representatives, he is also a temporary governor, not a real governor.The council room fell silent for a moment, and all of them were focused, focusing on Ryan's."
Everyone will immediately act according to our rehearsal, the one who leads the troops will immediately follow me to the front, the rear of the palace will immediately arrange for the citizens to evacuate to the west, and those who transport supplies will immediately replenish the supplies to the various positions.Quick, act immediately" Ryan slapped the table, quickly made arrangements with a majestic face, and rushed to the front line with the guards after speaking.The parliamentarians didn't say anything more, and they obeyed the order and went down to prepare.They had prepared for this before the war, and they had rehearsed it several times.Now it's really happening, it's just panic, but everything is still going in order.When Ryan arrived at the front line, that little hope in his heart was completely shattered.The battleship was less than 5,000 meters away from the coastline, and the national flag on the mast could be seen clearly, and it was still the arrogant nine-star red flag.They did not even make the slightest camouflage, and swaggered towards the coastline, not afraid of their coastal defense fire.This is the gap between strength and strength, and with absolute strength, you can despise everything about your opponent
