blood feud

Admiral MacArthur chose Major General Sutherland as his chief of staff. He has two big problems, "sexual impotence" and "homosexuality". This is an open secret of the top US military.But this person is cautious and does everything without leaking. MacArthur likes and trusts him very much.

For the benefit of the United States and the dangerous situation in the Southwest Pacific, Chief of Staff Major General Sutherland was ordered to leave the Allied Forces Command in Brisbane and head north with two staff officers and a Chinese translator.

Now time is life, and there is no room for a moment of delay.

It is said that according to Bai Shujie's order, Chen Jie and Chief of Staff Chen Dazhu rushed to Darwin on June 1942, 6 with his guard battalion, reconnaissance battalion, supply battalion, and a group of mining experts.

Chen Jie kept in mind the words of the boss Bai Shujie when he was about to set off five days ago: "After you go there, you need to confirm a few principles. If the other party messes around, the prisoners and the fleet this time will become our trophies, and the place we are occupying now I won't let it out."

"First, we want to establish the Lanfang Republic in the existing area. The land area and territorial sea area, in addition to the existing areas, also include the Java Islands, Sumatra Islands, and the Malay Peninsula in the west. Recognize the Jewish Republic of Papua Legality, the Allied Forces can no longer make a move against the Papua Islands."

"Second, in order to prevent the combined Pacific Fleet of the Japanese devils from advancing westward, we will lease the area north of the 20th parallel south latitude. Especially the Darwin Peninsula, the Gulf of Carpentaria, and the Cape York Peninsula, we will station troops here. "

"Third, in order to make the garrison self-sufficient and not burden the local people, we need to build a number of factories and mines here to provide the necessary supplies for the troops."

"Fourth, the little Japanese devils in the Java Islands, Sumatra Islands, Malay Peninsula, and Taiwan will be tasked with annihilating them. But the little Japanese devils in the Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Guam, Wake Island, and Palau Islands will be eliminated by us." The Allies solve it."

"Fifth, after our army eliminates the Japanese troops on Taiwan Island, it will participate in the attack on the Japanese main island. In order to prevent the resurgence of Japanese fascism and militarism, we will station troops on the Japanese island in the future to monitor their every move."

In fact, Baishu Jeroli has listed so many things in such a way that he wants to hide one main purpose, which is the third article: "Build a group of factories and mines here to provide the necessary supplies for the troops."

Northern Australia has never been populated, let alone developed.According to the inherent history, it will take 40 years before someone will investigate here.

But Bai Shujie didn't need to investigate to know: the whole of Australia is a huge ancient land, a cornucopia from beginning to end.

Australia's uranium reserves account for more than a quarter of the world's total reserves.The Anamdi peninsula where Darwin is located is a huge uranium mine.

Also, the Anamdi Peninsula and the Cape York Peninsula to the east form a Carpentaria Bay, and this area is all treasures.

The Gulf of Carpentaria is located between the Arnhem Tee Peninsula and the Cape York Peninsula in northern Australia.The maximum width from east to west is 670 kilometers, the length from north to south is about 600 kilometers, the water depth generally does not exceed 80 meters, and the bay area is 31 square kilometers.

Most of the south coast of the bay are mangrove mudflats, and there are two ports in Normanton and Burketown in the southeast.The main islands are Groot Island and Wellesley Islands.The coast and islands are basically composed of bauxite and manganese ore.

The bay is located in the northern, central and western half of the Carpentaria Basin.There are a large number of manganese mines in the west of the Gulf, and the salt fields on the southeast coast of the Gulf are rich in bauxite, manganese and prawns (river shrimp).

In addition to the Burman uranium mine on the Arnhemti Peninsula and the manganese mine on Groot Island, there are also large bauxite and gold mines in Weipa and Cape York Peninsula, Goff Peninsula and Arnhemland.

In the northern part of the west coast of Australia, the average annual rainfall is 260mm, while the evaporation is as high as 3300mm/year.The annual minimum temperature is 27 degrees Celsius and the highest is 46 degrees Celsius.

There are no mountains or ridges along the coast, endless plains, and it is in a typhoon-free area, so typhoons will not damage the salt fields and sun-dried salt.It is a rare natural salt field in the world, and its sodium chloride content reaches 97.0-97.5%.

The western plateau desert is widely distributed, and iron, aluminum, nickel, uranium and other mineral deposits are among the top in the world. Coal, copper, lead, zinc, manganese, silver, tin, tungsten and other mineral deposits are also quite rich. Oil, natural gas, phosphate and other important Discover.

Mineral deposits are mainly distributed in three major areas: in the central and western regions, there are very rich iron, manganese, gold, nickel, tungsten and other ores in the ancient Precambrian rock formations in Western Australia, and oil and natural gas in the continental shelf of the west coast.

Whether it is rare uranium ore, iron, aluminum, nickel, coal, copper, lead, zinc, manganese, silver, tin, tungsten, oil, natural gas, phosphate and other mineral deposits, it is a country's national defense and people's livelihood. Indispensable things.

Although there are also in the Philippine Islands and the Brahman Islands, Bai Shujie has designated these places as his own territory.

Now there are other people's things available, so it's not for nothing.

Otherwise, why did the Eight-Power Allied Forces enter China?Why did the little Japanese devils invade China?

For other mineral resources, Bai Shujie can wait for a while, but uranium ore, iron ore, bauxite, copper ore, nickel ore, manganese ore, lead ore, and zinc ore are the most urgently needed things right now.

What are you fighting for?It is these minerals that are being hit.Whether it is gun bullets, or high-energy explosives, or even atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and neutron bombs, they all need these things.

Lead-zinc mines, zinc mines, large-scale high-energy lead-zinc batteries, don't diesel-electric submarines need these things as power?Bauxite is used to make profiles and smelt aluminum-nickel alloys. That is the skin of the aircraft. Can it be urgently needed?

As for the highest quality salt fields in the world, the naturally sun-dried sea salt along the western coast of Australia has a sodium chloride content of 97.0-97.5%, which is the most urgently needed chemical raw material.Today's Philippine Islands and Borneo Islands simply cannot find such a good place.

What saddened Bai Shujie the most was that the corrupt Qing court was ripped off by others all day long, and how many treasures were ripped off by the great powers.

This time, he caught MacArthur and Nimitz's sore feet. If he didn't hit the bamboo bar bang bang, Bai Shujie felt that it would damage the honorable title of "Devil of China".

Chen Jie wanted to plan the matters assigned by the boss, and asked Chief of Staff Chen Dazhu to deal with the coordination of the troops, and Zhong Guitang, the deputy division commander, was responsible for the mobilization and command of the troops on the front line.

Because the sixth Australian division on the northern front has been captured, and the seventh division, the main force of the raid, has also become a prisoner of war, so there is no single soldier in the entire northern part of Australia.

Now, the first armored regiment has rushed south along the eastern coastline to Charters Fort, and the second tank regiment has moved forward hand in hand, and has occupied the first line of Winton.The current situation of these two arrows is directly directed at Admiral MacArthur's headquarters in Brisbane.

The [-]nd Armored Regiment did not advance much. It only occupied Halls Creek on the southeast side of the Kimberley Plateau, blocked the west gate of the Anamdi Peninsula, and existed as a defensive force for Chen Jie's headquarters.

All the anti-aircraft regiments entered the Cape York peninsula, taking over the forts of the two battalions of the 1000rd Australian Division. The current defense targets are the little devils more than [-] kilometers to the west.

More than 1000 kilometers, if it is placed in the cold weapon era, the enemy may not be found for several centuries.But now with airplanes, the enemy can hit the door in two hours.

Chen Dazhu, the chief of staff, was not idle, and ordered the reconnaissance battalion to lead the radar soldiers to pull the equipment and start to set up the radar to build a complete air-to-sea early warning system.

The supply battalion does not need to build fortifications, but their task is to assist the Jewish mining engineers to continuously dig trenches in the Burman area. The main purpose is to find the most convenient area for open-pit mining of uranium ore.

The mineral resources here in Australia are not buried deep, and most of them can be exploited by uncovering—of course, this is a purely predatory mining at the cost of destroying the ecological environment.

Now there are little devils all around, and there may be a huge enemy situation at any time, so Bai Shujie is not in the mood to think about the environmental protection issues of other people's homes.

His main task now is to get back 200 million tons of uranium ore to those desperate Jewish experts within a year!In a hurry, what kind of shit is environmental protection?Then we have to wait 30 years.

The security battalion commander of Chen Jie's second division is a woman, the famous Huang Suzhen: "Report to the division commander: Deputy division commander Zhong from the frontline headquarters sent a telegram, saying that it is the chief of staff of the US military headquarters. A group of six people drove over to visit you. Deputy Master Zhong asked if you would let me go."

"The people who come are all guests, how can we not let them go?" Chen Jie chuckled: "The boss asked me to come, isn't he just waiting for them? Your guard battalion should also be tidied up, lest people say that our troops are like Savage. Hahaha—”

Huang Suzhen curled her lips: "Hmph, you just dare to talk nonsense here. If you return to Dragon City, just your words will be heard by the commander-in-chief. I think you can't bear it and walk away!"

"To be honest, you should stay at the general headquarters. There is no need to follow to the end." Chen Jie said solemnly: "As for your husband, he is also the deputy head of the armored regiment now. Is it necessary to follow?"

Huang Suzhen shook her head: "I was used to fighting guerrillas near Lianshan Pass back then, and when I arrived at the headquarters, I felt uncomfortable all over."

"The boss told you that the war will always end, and the more difficult thing is to engage in construction." Chen Jie said seriously: "We have to build a world, we must build well. I think you will follow the ship after a while The team went back well, there are 28 female soldiers over there, and a backbone force like you is even more needed."

1942年6月3日上午10:30，在陈杰的指挥部会议室，萨瑟兰少将终于见到了真佛。

Major General Sutherland was born on November 1893, 11 and is 27 years old this year.He didn't expect that the teacher who was alone would be so young.

In fact, Chen Jie is not young, he is also in his thirties this year.But in the U.S. military, which is a seniority-based group and must graduate from a military academy, division commanders are all after the age of 40.

Now is the time of war, the two sides have no nonsense, just sit down and start negotiations.

Sutherland's main mission here was to find out what Chen Jie wanted.Chen Jie didn't even know how to negotiate, so he simply put the five conditions proposed by Bai Shujie on the table.

"Ahem, sir." Major General Sutherland knew that his trip would not be easy, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't want to talk nonsense, so he said with some embarrassment: "May I ask how long you want to stay here?" Woolen cloth?"

Chen Jie said in a low voice: "Then who knows? You should ask the little Japanese devils this question. When will they be wiped out, when will we be able to sit here and discuss this issue."

Major General Sutherland nodded slightly, and then changed another question: "Excuse me, our General Wainwright, how is the situation now? Can I see him?"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
