Chapter 476 She will lose everything and Hugh Gough’s laughter (please subscribe, please vote)

Early morning of January 20, 1833, Sydney Cove.

For the white skins here, this morning is an unforgettable moment in their lives!

Because this morning does not start with a steaming cup of milk, but with the piercing air raid siren!

Most of the exiles still staying in Sydney Bay are elderly or female exiles. Although according to the order of Admiral Hugh Gough, every white Australian is obliged to take up arms in order to defend their penal colony and the British.

The interests of the empire will be fought to the end, but mobilization always comes first.

According to the general's order, priority for mobilization is young and strong (no more than 60 years old, no missing arms or legs, or terminally ill) violent criminals such as robbers, murderers, arsonists, kidnappers, etc. These violent criminals

Criminals often have a relatively high team spirit - they are all gang members! If they are used to committing crimes in gangs, they are naturally easier to organize and participate in battles.

The second wave of criminals are relatively mild and civilized criminals who are under 60 years old and have good physical conditions, such as fraudsters, thefts, etc.

The third wave is the "second generation" men aged 15-60 who are in fair physical condition. There are some male exiles who have married female exiles in Australia and have offspring, and there are also some female exiles who are in exile.

They were raped or raped by the crew members who escorted them on the way and had offspring. For these female exiles, all kinds of things were almost inevitable! Because the British government, which believed in the market, outsourced the business of escorting exiles to businessmen, and

How can ordinary merchants dare to do this? No matter how many pounds they have, they wouldn't dare! So slave traders and part-time pirates are usually responsible for such transactions.

Now that the first three waves of exiled prisoners have been mobilized, they are either on the battlefield, going to hell, or stationed somewhere. As for those men who are over 60 years old or under 15 years old, they can take up arms, and those who are over 60 years old or under 15 years old can take up arms.

All women aged 15 who can take up arms belong to the fourth wave. They will take up arms and go to the battlefield when the city or settlement where they live is attacked by the enemy. Among them, the elderly in Brisbane area,

Women and children were already on the battlefield or turned into corpses waiting to rot, while elsewhere the elderly, women and children were being trained to fight in defense of the British Empire.

Angelina from London is one of the female exiles who are being trained. She is only 16 years old this year. She is as old as a flower, but she is already a criminal exile. The horrific crimes she committed are helping

The Bank of England issued pounds! Born in Ireland, she went to London to work as a child laborer when she was 12 years old. Because she encountered the economic crisis and was starving, she had no choice but to join an Irish "charitable organization" that helped the Bank of England issue pounds. She was responsible for "

"Bulk cargo". As a result, he was caught by Scotland Yard police detectives after only a few days of food. He was also sentenced to hanging by the British court, which is known for its impartiality and independence. However, the gallows was not actually hanged.

Put on a ship bound for Australia.

But to her surprise, Angelina, who had almost no way to support herself in London, the richest and most prosperous city in the British Empire, actually lived a life of eating beef and drinking milk until she vomited after arriving in Australia, a wild land.

A happy life. Moreover, the vastness and richness of Australia far exceed the imagination of the people of her small island.

What was even more unimaginable to her was that the British Empire, which had two giant colonies, Australia and Canada, could obviously transport back enough food to feed 20 million islanders, but why were there still so many hungry and cold people in Ireland and London?

People? Why didn’t those who ruled the British Empire do so even though they could afford to feed everyone?

why is that?

Angelina, who had just finished her night shift and sent away a wealthy naval lieutenant commander from England, was lying in bed counting pounds and thinking about this complex economic issue when the air raid siren sounded that changed the trajectory of her life.

It's already ringing.

The piercing and annoying alarm sounded into Angelina's bedroom. She hurriedly got up from the bed, hurriedly put on her clothes and pants, and was about to heat up a pot of milk for herself, when an explosion that she would never forget came from

came from outside.

She ignored the hot milk, just grabbed two pieces of bread and rushed out of her own big house (this was the result of her hard work every night). She stood in the yard full of weeds and looked at Jackson to the east.

The plumes of smoke and fireballs were rising from the harbor, and a pretty and fresh face was filled with an expression of indescribable horror. Only at this moment did Angelina realize for the first time that she was likely to lose her again.

Everything, including freedom, even life!

"Hahaha"

Hearty laughter came from inside the large white tent. It was the laughter of General Hugh Gough, the commander of the Australian Army, who was enjoying a sumptuous breakfast.

What made the commander laugh heartily was the urgent telegram he had just received from Sydney - Sydney was being bombed! Moreover, dozens of square miles of Ming warships appeared outside Sydney Bay!

Obviously, the Ming army adopted the strategy of claiming the north and attacking the south. Their fierce attack on the Brisbane area was actually a feint. The purpose was to attract the main force of the British army in Sydney to go north, and then use their sea power advantage to quickly

Mobilize the fleet south to attack Sydney, which is empty of troops.

Sydney is now the absolute central area of ​​Australia, and Brisbane is the second most critical area after Sydney. Once Sydney and Brisbane are occupied, the war in Australia will only be guerrilla warfare. Although the security war has a large number of

The British army with horses can still hold on in the vast Australian outback for a long time. But without the arms and reinforcements imported from outside, the British army in Australia will sooner or later be turned into a nomadic tribe!

So the British generals who were having breakfast with Hugh Gough all looked at their commander-in-chief with puzzled faces - what does this person mean? Is he crazy?

Seeing the confused eyes of the big guys, Hugh Goff finally stopped laughing, then stroked his beard that he had grown for several years, with a sinister smile on his big white face: "Those generals in China like to use the so-called tactics most.

Showing your extraordinary wisdom, I believe that you have already read their art of war when you went to military academy!"

Chinese art of war, including "Five Classics and Seven Books", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "New Book of Jixiao" and "Selected Works of King Wu Zhong", are all must-read books in Western military schools. Even Napoleon was familiar with them, and even

The Napoleonic Annotated Edition, the Wellington Annotated Edition and the Clausewitz Annotated Edition of "The Art of War".

Therefore, a group of British officers, including Hugh Gough, were very familiar with the tactics used by the Chinese.

Because of his familiarity, Hugh Gough did not go out in full force, but left as many as 9 divisions of nearly 100,000 garrison troops in the Sydney Fortress area - this still does not include the Naval Fortress Garrison and Sydney Militia. If counted,

With them, Sydney's garrison could exceed 200,000!

And these are 200,000 people who are determined to fight to the end!

Because the white-skinned Australians all know who they are. They are the evildoers who exterminated the Southern Continent Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they are all evildoers and exiled criminals, so they will definitely exterminate them all after the Ming Dynasty lands!

Hugh Gough said: "Even if they have a fleet of 1,000 square miles, they must send infantry to land and occupy Sydney inch by inch. This is not a problem that can be solved in a week or two weeks, but a hard battle of several months.

When their main force moved south, there must have been only a small number of troops here in Brisbane. In fact, they did not capture the Brisbane Fortress for so long, and they were still setting up defenses on Tabletop Mountain, which shows that they did not have enough troops.

.This is our chance!

Now, we must show our utmost determination to break through the Ming army's defense line on Tabletop Mountain, and quickly drive the Ming army in the direction of Brisbane across the Pacific Ocean!"
