Chapter 1021 The rise and fall of the empire is here
A few days later
September 2
Large-scale mass demonstrations broke out at the same time in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand's autonomous region, and the largest town of Auckland. The local Chinese and white people participated in the parade, with tens of thousands of people. The crowd held high slogans such as "Let the children go home", "We were shamelessly deceived", "The European war does not belong to us", "End the tragedy", etc. Many of them were parents and relatives of young people who joined the army to the European battlefield.
They walked on the street with sad expressions. Many pedestrians joined the protest procession when they saw this and gradually gathered near the British Governor's Office and the local city council, protesting and accusing them in anger.
The cause of the incident was the heavy casualties of the ANZ Legion in the Battle of Gallipoli. Most of the two New Zealand divisions invested were injured and killed. As part of the white legion, they should receive generous casualties and the death notice was sent to the relevant families in a timely manner.
For a moment
The fierce war, far away from the other side of the earth, swept through like a tide with endless grief. Almost half of the white families in Wellington and Auckland lost their loved ones, and many of them were among them.
The grief was born with a huge dissatisfaction, which exploded instantly after it was ignited.
This cannot be blamed on New Zealand's weak tolerance. It is an island dominant with only 477,000 people, of which the Chinese population accounts for 75% of them. The total number of white people is only a little over 100,000, or more than 17,300 white families.
Among the two New Zealand divisions, the total military post was 26,310,000, and the proportion of soldiers was the opposite. White soldiers accounted for more than 60%, with a total of 15,963 people, and the remaining were local Chinese residents.
This way
Almost 90% of white families have adult men joining the army, and some have more than one family.
Most of the white people in New Zealand are descended from the British Isles, mostly Irish. They voluntarily joined the army with great recognition of Britain and fought for the honor of Great Britain.
Ideals are full, but reality is too cruel.
The European war is not a joke, nor is it a suitable occasion to express patriotism. The total number of death notices delivered this time was 7,362, and the injured soldiers were not included. Such a painful loss hit the New Zealanders a heavy blow, which made them sober.
And those families who did not receive the death notice became even more panicked at this moment.
They were afraid that one day they would receive the same bad news. Huge fear enveloped the community. With a gentle push, a hurricane would form in a blink of an eye, blowing all fantasies to pieces.
Now everyone just wants the surviving New Zealand soldiers to come home.
I don’t want to play anymore, I really can’t afford to play!
To be honest, the Governor's Office and the local government are indeed responsible. After the outbreak of the war, they carried out a lot of deceptive propaganda and vigorously encouraged the patriotism of young people. Many white young people signed up without telling their families under the strong opposition of their parents.
Among them, there are many Chinese youths, who are eager to prove themselves like white people.
Overall
The proportion of Chinese families joining the army is relatively low and they have no sense of belonging to the UK.
There was a young man from almost six Chinese families who volunteered to join the ANZ. Seeing these Chinese people who were full of love for the UK, the Ocean Empire forces, which had a significant influence in New Zealand, did not intervene or dissuade, but provided many conveniences with an optimistic attitude.
If you can accept the beaten blows from the European War and come back with good arms and legs, then congratulations on your fortune and fortune.
If you accidentally throw your life in Europe, then just throw it away. What's the matter with others?
The path is chosen by oneself. These guys who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the alien race are really good. That one... do whatever you should do. Don't watch the fools. You must take it as a warning next time!
The demonstrations that took place in New Zealand soon spread across towns and towns. Under extreme grief and anger, many marching people made irrational behaviors. They found that local officials beat them up and smashed the city hall and the local police station, and had to settle the score with the New Zealand governor.
The New Zealand governor was so scared that under the protection of several guards, he fled New Zealand in a mess by boat and ran to Sydney to take refuge.
In fact, the demands of the masses in these New Zealand demonstrations are unreasonable.
All the soldiers who participated in the ANZE Legion served voluntarily and went to the European battlefield to fight for Great Britain. Although the local government tried its best to sensation, the decision-making power was still in its own hands. After joining the army, how could they say that they would go back on their word?
Britain has mobilized more than 5 million troops, with more than 1.3 million in the Indian colonies alone, plus more than 300,000 soldiers from other colonies, France has mobilized more than 6.8 million troops, Germany has mobilized more than 7 million troops, and Russia has successively invested nearly 10 million troops.
It is impossible to join the army at such a large-scale world war and to go back on your word.
However, under the instigation of those who are interested, the local people in New Zealand exploded uncontrollably, and they wanted the children to come back. For this reason, many people shouted "join the Ocean Empire" and "please ask the Ocean Empire to make the decision for the children", and they received a warm response.
They didn't know that even if the Emperor of the Ocean Empire, Li Fushou, came out to London to beg for the children to go home, London would never agree to such a request.
If you play war like this, don’t fight, just admit defeat and count the ball.
at the same time
North America New Mexico border
Marshal Oyama Iwa led a group of senior generals to stand in the dense forest on the hill with a serious expression, and looked down at the area where fierce border conflicts were erupting through a telescope.
At first glance, there were more than 30 senior Japanese generals with the rank of major general and lieutenant general on their shoulders in the crowd, and four senior officials with the rank of general, almost capturing all senior generals of the army base camp.
Adhering to the advantages of Fusang people's consistent meticulous behavior, as the lord of Marshal Dashan Iwa, he must go to the frontier of border conflict to take a look and not miss any details.
Observe for a moment
Marshal Oyama turned around without saying a word and walked into the deep forest. This is the Bisby area east of Tucson. It is the southernmost end of the Republic of Arizona. It is also one of the areas where border conflicts broke out. The other is in the central area.
Entering the deep forest
Here is a simple military map board hanging from the tree, and next to it are more than a dozen base camp staffers with golden wheat ears hanging on their chests. Each one is a top student from the saber team, with different ranks of assistant officers hanging on his shoulders, bowing respectfully together; "Thank you, Grand Marshal, thank you for your hard work."
Marshal Dashan Iwa, who had a high status in the army, became famous for commanding the Southern Manchurian General Command to defeat the Russians in one battle. Jin was a master of the first-class duke and one of the founders of the modern Fusang Army. He was highly respected in China.
No one knew that he had secretly arrived in the Republic of Alessan, and there were so many senior army generals here.
It can be seen from this
It took a day or two for the Fusang people to plan this war. Both the United States and Japan were fully prepared to do a good job when Europe had no time to take care of others.
Marshal Oyama Iwa walked to the map board and stopped. He glanced at the generals who followed him with a majestic expression. He didn't say much nonsense, and reached out to click on the map and said;
"Everyone, opposite the Pisby area is one of the key defense areas of the US military.
The Americans hoarded 34,000 army soldiers and more than 70,000 militias in the area, and built solid permanent positions and artillery fortresses, which was a tough and hard bone to crack.
But we have to see;
Compared with the tight defenses in the central region and the unfavorable terrain of the Colorado Plateau Mountains, the southern border is easier to break through. After the breakthrough, it is a very important oil field for the Great Fuso Empire 220 kilometers away. We must take it down intact. This is one of the important battle goals of this battle.
Therefore, the Army Base decided…”
Having said this
All the Japanese generals and generals all raised their legs together, stood solemnly, waiting for orders.
“Base decision;
The defensive force was adopted in the central Arizona Republic, and the offensive was adopted in the south. With a spirit of rapid, tenacious and courageous sacrifice, the strong fortress in the south were broken through the strong fortress in the south, and the troops were divided into three groups through the soft abdomen of the enemy.
The detached divisions along the route southwards into the oil field, captured and occupied the area intact, and regained the control of important oil resources.
Here, I want to emphasize it;
The troops attacking the area must ensure that the oilfield production facilities are intact, and that production can be resumed as soon as possible after occupation, and that it provides a steady stream of funds for the imperial army. This is extremely important.
The side troops continued to attack and advance in the northeast direction, regaining the towns they passed along and consolidating them.
After the main force of the Imperial Army was to capture Las Cruces in the New Mexico Railway, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, and Nas Vegas, from the rear, encircled the main force of the US military stationed in central New Mexico, attacked front and back and wiped them out in one fell swoop.
Here I want to remind you..."
Having said this
Marshal Oyama Iwa stopped talking and glanced at all the army generals present with a stern look. Everyone stood up with their chests and waited for orders with a solemn expression.
Marshal Oyama Iwa's eyes flashed with a hint of undetectable satisfaction. These generals and assistants who had undergone rigorous military training had enough ability to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalization of the empire. They were brave enough to sacrifice and were willing to make contributions. Even if they were torn to pieces, they could execute orders without fail and be trustworthy.
“I want to remind you;
The core point of this military plan is to seize time and compete for speed. Before the Americans reacted, they broke through the enemy's central region from south to north, occupied Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and other places, and formed an encirclement of the US heavy army group.
After detailed intelligence analysis, we have only one week left to operate.
If the war is delayed
Reinforcements from the eastern and central parts of the United States were continuously arriving, and heavy troops formed on the front lines of Rio Rancho and Santa Fe, and the war situation would slide in an uncontrollable direction. This is a situation that no one wants to see.
Therefore, once the war is launched, we must quickly crush the strong fortress blocking in front of us with a resolute but not afraid of sacrifice. I only give you two days.
To this end, the Imperial Base Camp specially equipped us with heavy mortars, 152mm large-caliber howitzers and other attack weapons, and prepared sufficient ammunition.
Everyone, the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom is here, please!”
After saying that, Marshal Oyama Iwa bowed deeply.
"Please rest assured, Marshal, we will swear to complete the task to the death, and advance without retreat." All the generals of the army bowed and returned the gift, and the answer was firm and decisive, revealing a sense of determination.
The Fusang people were very military insightful and immediately prepared to take a full blow after realizing that the Second US-Japan War was inevitable.
Chapter completed!
