Iron Dynasty

Lin'an, the former capital of Chu State.

Since the fall of the state of Chu and the collapse of the Merchant Council, it has been a different style under the rule of the imperial court for several years.

Different from the prosperity of the past, the current prosperity of Lin'an reveals the atmosphere of industry everywhere.

In recent years, local businessmen in Lin'an have come to Qingzhou to purchase machinery, equipment and technologies. In a short period of time, most of Qingzhou's products have been produced independently here, and there are also more industrial products on the market.

Riesling, the third division has been assembled and ready to go at any time.

On the Lin'an Wharf, Shi Liu Hongzhi, the head of the Southeast Military Region, gave Lei Ming a military salute and reported the situation of the army's gathering.

Five days ago, they received an order from the General Staff, asking them to go south to attack Australia, followed by other maritime island countries in the South China Sea.

After receiving this order, the whole army of the Southeast Military Region was in high spirits. This was the first time the empire had used troops abroad after the military reform, and the generals wanted to make their mark in this war.

In addition, the equipment of the machine gun also made the generals confident.

Board!

Lei Ming looked at the warships in Lin'an port and said loudly, this time the General Staff has handed over the war in Nanyang, and he did not dare to be careless. This time, he plans to go to Australia with the soldiers to personally supervise the war.

After all, the chaos in the country has long since been quelled, and the Southeast Military Region he is in charge of is even more leisurely. He fought on the battlefield and is the most impatient of such leisure, so he decided to let the long history Liu Hongzhi stay to deal with the sundries. Lead the troops south.

All aboard!

As soon as Lei Ming's voice fell, the generals quickly conveyed it. Soldiers wearing steel helmets, carrying Han-style rifles, and carrying machine guns boarded the ship one after another.

Before the soldiers boarded the ship, one hundred and twenty guard artillery had been hoisted onto the ship.

Lei Ming's eyes swept across the soldiers who boarded the ship, with strong pride in his eyes. This third division is the elite of the Southeast Military Region, and once made great achievements in the Kanto War.

Because of this, he allocated most of the Han-style rifles, machine guns and Guards artillery to this division.

And in order to go south this time, he specially strengthened the third division. The original 10,000 people were expanded to 12,000 people. These soldiers were using the latest equipment, and they could be said to be the elites in his hands.

Stopped and watched for a while, Lei Ming and the officers who were going to Australia this time boarded the warship. After six days of sailing with the roar of the steam warships, the fleet, including eight warships and twenty troop carriers, arrived in Wales, Australia. Offshore.

On the battleship, Lei Ming was looking at the beach ahead through his binoculars. The appearance of the Imperial Fleet had caught the attention of the British. There were already British troops in red uniforms running back and forth on the beach, apparently preparing to deal with them.

According to the information we got, this Australia used to be nothing more than a place where the British exiled prisoners. Most of the people living here are descendants of criminals and some free people, and the British have always paid little attention to Australia, because the indigenous people here are scarce and cannot be used for They provide sufficient economic profit.

Shi Yanjun, commander of the 3rd Division, was reading intelligence about Australia.

Lei Ming already knew about Australia. There were about 100,000 British people living here, and there was only one garrison army of 3,000 people.

The third division is a bit overkill to deal with such an enemy, but their purpose is not only to destroy the British army, but more importantly, they want to escort the people of the Mineral Department to find minerals here, and they will not invest too much in a war without interests. thought.

Login!

After thinking for a while, Lei Ming issued an order. After sailing at sea for so many days, the supplies on the ship were consumed a lot, and the conditions did not allow him to continue to wait at sea.

What's more, being timid is not his style of thunder, and in the Battle of Kanto, his command has always been known for his ferocity.

Boom boom boom...

The order was issued, and the eight warships immediately fired on the beach. Before landing, they tried to destroy the British battery on the beach as much as possible.

At the same time as they fired, the British forts also began to counterattack, and black artillery shells flew towards their battleship group. The black artillery shells fell into the sea and exploded, splashing waves several meters high.

Blooming bombs!

Seeing the way the shells exploded, Lei Ming frowned deeply. Obviously, the Dengzhou naval battle made the British who suffered a loss quickly equipped with shells that could quickly sink battleships.

Shi Yanjun's face was also a little ugly, he said to the captain; Retreat now, Riesling's safety is the most important thing!

Fart! I, Lei Ming, haven't withdrawn on the battlefield, continue to fight! Lei Ming scolded, his eyes were sharp, and the scene in front of him ignited his passion on the battlefield again.

Shi Yanjun was scolded and disgraced, and Lei Ming's frantic eyes made him helpless for a while. Once he entered the battlefield, his boss seemed to be a different person.

On the coast, the British were secretly complaining. After the naval battle in Dengzhou, the British troops stationed in Australia had been in constant fear, for fear of a call from the Great Yu Congress.

And after the United Kingdom sent a special batch of ammunition from the mainland, their concern was even stronger. The whole Welsh people were living in a kind of panic, and the thing that worried them finally happened today.

Lieutenant Alden, I have brought you all the best lads in Wales. We must keep our city no matter what. Kenneth, in a black suit and top hat, said loudly with a pipe in his mouth. said the blond officer.

Your Excellency the Governor, I will surround Wales with my life, this is our home. Alden pulled out his sword, I will let these yellow-skinned pigs in Da Yu country understand that we white people are the noble race, they are only worthy of defeated by us.

Very good! Kenneth laughed out loud, We Welsh have only 100,000 people, but brave blood flows in everyone's blood. Politicians in London say we are descendants of crime, but only brave people can Contempt for the law, right, boys, there will be no law today, and you can slaughter these yellow-skinned pigs in the Great Yu Kingdom!

Send them to the guillotine.'

Cut off their heads!

Hang them and hang their bodies on a tree to feed the crows!

...

The Welsh people behind Kenneth made a noise. They were wearing ordinary English blouses and their weapons were multi-colored doors, but they all had fierce expressions on their faces.

During this period of time, they have been rehearsing the situation of the Great Yu Country's attack. When the Great Yu Country's battleship appeared, more than 8,000 young soldiers immediately assembled, and the 3,000 regular army constituted the entire strength of Wales.

There is one more chapter, which will be late.
