Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In fact, it was a mistake for the Australian fleet to decide to take the initiative from the beginning.

This would not be the case if the Governor of Australia asked John Empire for his opinion before making a decision.

You know, in order to avoid fighting the Daxia Fleet, the John Empire has not set foot in the Western Pacific region since World War I.

Even America, which is also a Pacific Rim country, is active in the Eastern Pacific. Even so, America is still hiding from Bactria's Kingdom of Hawaii in the Eastern Pacific.

This actually explains the problem very much.

Daxia's navy is too strong. If it confronts Daxia's navy, both sides will lose.

The John Empire and Milician, which are two levels higher than Australia, do not dare to conflict with Daxia head-on. How dare Australia do that.

If the Australian fleet can rely on coastal defense guns to defend several important ports, it may be able to defend them.

But like now, if the Australian fleet chooses to take the initiative, the final result will be that the Australian fleet is completely annihilated.

This battle on the Timor Sea lasted for a whole day and finally ended with Daxia's victory.

This time, no one of the Australian fleet that came with Arthur Weir escaped.

On Daxia's side, apart from wasting some ammunition, there was almost no loss.

After solving the Australian fleet, Gao Bo continued to move forward with Daxia's fleet.

After arriving at the Port of Papua, Gao Bo first replenished his ammunition and then headed towards the Australian Dominion.

Before, Gao Bo was worried that he would run into Australia's home fleet.

But after Arthur took the initiative to send him to the door and was annihilated by him, Australia no longer had a warship that could handle it.

That being the case. Gao Bo planned to change his strategy and divide the entire squadron to seize ports on the Australian mainland.

Gao Bo submitted his ideas to the Military Department, and the Military Department also conducted a detailed analysis of Gao Bo's suggestions.

They found that in the entire Asian region, except for Australia, which has a good-sized fleet, there are not many countries with large-scale navies.

And even if John Empire and Milician wanted to rescue Australia, reinforcements would not arrive until at least three months later.

This means that no navy in the entire South Pacific region can currently threaten the Third Combined Fleet.

According to the previous plan, after trying to firmly occupy a port, the slow advancement was somewhat inappropriate.

Therefore, after the General Staff Headquarters of the Daxia Military Department conducted a deduction, they decided to change their strategy and adopt a multi-point flowering and central encirclement method to attack the Australian mainland.

If everything goes well according to the new plan, the war is expected to end in about 8 months.

Finally, the General Staff's plan was submitted to Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi read the plan again, he also felt that the situation was unpredictable and the original plan could not be copied blindly.

Now that the situation between the enemy and ourselves has changed, the new plan should be implemented.

Although this new plan is a little riskier than the original plan, how can we be 100% sure about the war?

And, is the new plan really that risky?

of course not.

Now that there is no large-scale navy near the Australian mainland, what if we take risks at this time?

Could it be that the warships of John's Empire and Milician's were able to fly over?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi decisively signed his name.

After receiving the reply from the military department, Gao Bo immediately informed Xue Dingshan of the plan.

Xue Dingshan also agreed with Gao Bo's new plan.

After all, this plan is more beneficial to their army. If you want to occupy the Australian continent, you must ultimately rely on the army to complete the occupation.

Gao Bo's plan is tantamount to allowing the Army to occupy Australia faster.

After getting Xue Dingshan's consent, soldiers from the Daxia Empire began to board the ship.

Gao Bo also ordered the imperial warships to start advancing.

Gao Bo's first target is the St. Paul Islands in Queensland, north of Australia.

This is the closest archipelago from the Australian mainland to Papua.

In order to prevent the invasion of Daxia, the Australian Dominion 9 built a large number of forts here.

To gain freedom of navigation, Gao Bo must capture this archipelago.

On March 1932, 3, the Third Combined Fleet, which had completed preparations, sailed to the vicinity of the St. Paul Islands.

Under repeated attacks from aircraft carriers and Ming-class battleships, the St. Paul Islands only resisted for three days before being declared captured.

Then, Xue Dingshan ordered the construction of a forward airport in the St. Paul Islands.

The engineers drove some bulldozers and road rollers directly to the island. After two days of overnight work, an airstrip that could accommodate 120 aircraft for takeoff and landing was completed.

By this time, Gaobo had already secured the two ports of Ikinno and Torres in the northernmost part of Queensland.

Under the cover of the combined fleet, the Australian Army landed on the Australian mainland, and then swept the entire Queensland with an unstoppable force.

Although the Australian continent is called an island, its land area can be regarded as a continent.

Moreover, on this continent, there are typically fewer people and more land.

Many areas can be said to be deserted.

If there wasn't only one country on the mainland of Australia, then maybe Australia wouldn't be able to occupy the entire continent.

For Daxia, whose population is increasing day by day and has a slight trend of population explosion, the Australian continent is a perfect colony.

Perhaps it is not correct to say colony, because Daxia never wanted to turn Australia into a colony, but wanted to turn Australia into its own homeland.

To alleviate the growing population in Daxia.

Moreover, Australia has fertile land and flat terrain, which is very suitable for the development of large-scale mechanical agriculture.

In addition, Australia is rich in iron ore, which is definitely a cornucopia for Daxia.

Therefore, among the Daxia cabinet, there has long been a plan to turn Australia into a native country.

But now, after the Australian front army occupied Queensland, Daxia's cabinet became somewhat restless.

They urgently contacted the Imperial Military Department, hoping that the Imperial Military Department could send soldiers to escort the imperial civil servants to Australia Island and establish a basic management structure on it.

Lin Yi looked at these old scholars, all of them seemed to be excited, and he couldn't refuse.

Therefore, after communicating with Xue Dingshan and confirming the strength of a separate division to cooperate with this group of civil servants, these old scholars reluctantly let him go.

And these old scholars couldn't wait to board the supply ship heading south to deliver supplies the next day.

As the saying goes, if someone is happy, someone will be worried.

For example, the current Governor-General of Australia, Joseph Lyons.

He is very angry and regretful now.

He still couldn't figure out why he agreed to Arthur Weir's suggestion and let him lead all the Australian warships to ambush the Daxia fleet.

Well now, Arthur Weir himself became a prisoner and destroyed Australia's only warship.

The entire north of Australia is now passive.
