Franz, the chief of staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Marshal, what do you say, we all listen to you" "Yes, Marshal, we all listen to you" All the generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire raised their heads and shouted, pinning their hopes on Hindenburg."
From what I know about the Orientals, if they are going to send an army to attack Europe.If it is aimed at Britain and France, they will definitely greet us in advance and want to use us to deal with it.If they hadn't greeted us, they would have been thinking about sweeping Europe.This is both an opportunity and a crisis for both of us.In any case, the army must not be dismantled at this time, and preparations must be made to deal with it" Hindenburg gave the order intently, with a trace of hope in his heart, hoping that God would bless him, and in a few days he would receive news from the Orientals."
Yes," the German-Austrian generals responded in unison.At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was torn apart, and the empire was about to collapse.The separatist forces were now on the verge of a move in Austria-Hungary, and the top of the empire could only pin their hopes on Germany.God's light protects Germany, and within a few days news came back to Germany.The Ministry of National Defense of the People's Republic of China informed the German Embassy that it had exchanged views with the German Ambassador on the matter of attacking Europe.The German ambassador's excited eyes were about to pop out, and he naturally knew the significance of this incident, and immediately sent a message to the country.Now that Germany has also set up a radio station in New China, Hindenburg was about to cry with excitement after receiving the news from the New China Embassy, and a stone in his heart finally fell.On the same day, Britain, France, Portugal and Italy, more than 100,000 allied troops stationed in Africa, finally launched an attack on the Huaxing Army in South Africa.The Huaxing army did not occupy much in South Africa, except for the area around Cape Town in the southwestern tip of South Africa.Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa and is known for its natural beauty and marinas.It is located in a narrow strip of land at the northern end of the Cape of Good Hope, bordering Tebul Bay in the Atlantic Ocean.Founded in 1652, it was originally the supply station of the East India Company, and was the earliest base established by Western European colonists in southern Africa, so it is known as the "mother of South African cities", and is the base for Dutch and British colonists to expand into the interior of Africa.Before the discovery of gold and diamonds in Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa.Qiao Zhiqing sent troops to occupy Cape Town this time, not just to attack Britain.Not only is it a maritime transit point in Europe, but its military location is crucial.In addition, Johannesburg also has a large amount of gold and diamonds, which have incalculable value, and when they are dug up, they have a direct exchange value.The Huaxing Army stationed in Cape Town this time was commanded by Gu Yunfei's nephew Gu Xinghua, with a total of three armies and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.At present, Gu Xinghua has served as the commander of the Fujian Provincial Military Region, which is subordinate to the Nanjing Military Region and has the strength of three armies.In addition to the care of his uncle Gu Yunfei, he also has his own ability in it.Over the years, Gu Xinghua has completely grown up from a hairy guy.New China's first set of modern tactics for landing operations was proposed by Gu Xinghua and applied in practice.Of course, this is also by Qiao Zhiqing's point.Since he and Qiao Zhiqing met in Nanjing, he took the time to visit Qiao Zhiqing in Beijing, and always wanted to learn something from Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing watched him grow all the way, and was secretly glad that he had saved his life in Nanjing, otherwise there would be no such excellent general.When the Huaxing fleet swept the Atlantic, Gu Xinghua commanded the three-way army to land in Cape Town, South Africa.The British built more than a dozen forts here, each with hundreds of cannons.However, as soon as the ocean-going fleet of the Huaxing Army arrived, it blew the fort into slag thousands of meters away in an instant.Before attacking Cape Town, Firefox had a complete grasp of the location of the local batteries.Asia's business with Europe, Africa, and the Americas has not been broken, and many Firefoxes have appeared as big businessmen.In this era when espionage precautions were not strict, it was easy to spy on intelligence.Moreover, Britain still dominates the world, and has long since stopped taking other countries into account, and no one will believe who will attack British colonies.When the British troops in the fort saw the Huaxing Army's ocean-going fleet, they thought it was the British fleet coming.Hundreds of battleships fired their main guns in unison, and no side-rotating guns were used at all.Forty planes from two aircraft carriers bombarded the past, and the British defensive line in Cape Town was completely destroyed.Cape Town is surrounded on three sides by mountains, and the terrain is like a crescent moon.The western suburbs are bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, and the southern suburbs are inserted into the Indian Ocean.The British army stationed in Cape Town numbered more than 30,000 troops, as well as more than 100,000 local Afrikaner troops.As soon as Gu Xinghua landed ashore with the army, the two sides fought fiercely inside and outside the city.The armament of the army here is far inferior to that of the British army.There were nearly 130,000 troops, armed with only a thousand artillery pieces.Gu Xinghua brought not only the army, but also a division of armored troops, with more than 300 tanks.Because of the suddenness of the Huaxing army's attack, the British army did not even have time to build defensive trenches outside the city.The Huaxing army completely landed in the port, and under the air attack of the flying formation, it was easy to clean up the troops outside the city.The British and South African armies completely retreated into Cape Town, hoping to use the fortifications to resist the Huaxing army.After the Huaxing army completed the siege of Cape Town, it did not rush to attack, but issued a notice to the city.Within three days, the army immediately laid down its arms and surrendered, and all citizens withdrew from the city, otherwise the Huaxing army would be killed.After hundreds of years of European colonial development, and successively through the construction of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Cape Town has become quite a huge city, with a population of more than one million scattered all over the world, and more than 300,000 citizens in the urban area.The British and South African forces in the city reacted differently to this force of unknown origin from the East.Some advocate holding on to help, while others advocate retreating from here first.But in the end, the hardliners prevailed, and the war between China and the West was confined to Asia.It was the first time that Westerners had seen an army of Orientals in Africa, so they still maintained their usual pride and always had a condescending attitude towards people of color.Three days later, the time given to them by Gu Xinghua had arrived.Although the British and South African troops did not, the ordinary citizens quickly withdrew from Cape Town.When Gu Xinghua ordered the attack, there were still more than 100,000 armed forces and more than 100,000 young people in the city who had not withdrawn.These armies tried in vain to rely on the street fighting in the city, stalling with the Huaxing army and waiting for the army to attack.After the first wave of the offensive began, forty aircraft from the aircraft carrier launched an air attack, and 4,000 rounds of ammunition were dropped in a circle, completely in the densely fortified area of the British and South African troops.The explosion thundered through the city, and the locals looked at the plane as if they were aliens, and they were scared to pee their pants on the spot
