Emperor Hao Jing would not annex Tasmania unless absolutely necessary. The exception was the Kamchatka Peninsula, which was considered Swiss land.
A nuclear strike will cause radiation to the surrounding waters. It is best not to eat seafood for at least ten years...
Faced with the menacing Huangpi monkeys, Jackson Irving had no choice but to abandon his home base of Tasmania.
To the north is the territory of the Huangpi monkeys, to the east is the Inca, and to the south is the Antarctic. None of these three directions can become a foothold.
The only possibility is to go to Africa. I heard that the Russians have taken control of Somalia and the Mogadishu port should be able to dock ships.
The fleet immediately pulled anchor and set sail, starting from Hobart, first sailing south, and then heading west at full speed.
As long as they enter the scope of the Russian Navy's activities, they will be considered safe.
Huang Ting originally wanted to follow his master's orders to pursue the remaining enemies, but a fire broke out in the backyard and he had to turn around and go home.
The "backyard" was not his wives and concubines, but a massive rebellion in Sumatra!
A guy named Baro Surosa launched a rebellion near Padang on Sumatra Island. Now the rebels have captured the city of Padang and have taken control of the Mentawai Strait. They are attacking the nearby islands and the entire Sumatra Island crazily.
After the Russian fleet threatens the Gulf of Aden, once the Sunda Strait and Malacca are controlled by indigenous rebels, ships bound for East Asia will have no choice but to bypass the northern waters of Australia.
This would cause huge losses to the maritime trade between the East and the West, not to mention that Sumatra itself was a strategic location of the Ming Empire and could not be lost.
According to satellite photos, this enemy is no small group of enemies, and its military strength even exceeds that of the Australian rebels.
Weapons that can be recognized by Zhu Cixi include the "Black Tiger" (Halim) medium tank, the "Sky Guard" 6*6 wheeled anti-aircraft vehicle, the "Little Rhinoceros" 6*6 wheeled assault gun, and the "Cobra" 8*8 wheeled armored transport vehicle, "Little Bison" 6*6 wheeled armored transport vehicle, BTR-58 tracked amphibious armored transport vehicle.
SA-330 medium utility helicopter, H-225 medium utility helicopter, Bo-105 light reconnaissance helicopter, -235 medium transport aircraft, AC-235 aerial gunship, PC-235 maritime patrol aircraft, C-212 light transport aircraft.
It can be said that the ground forces and aviation forces are obviously stronger than the Australian rebels, and the maritime power cannot be underestimated.
It has twelve "Manado" class frigates (Sigma 10514 type with a full load displacement of 2,400 tons), four "Makassar" class dock landing ships (with a full load displacement of 11,394 tons), and eight "Port Bintuni" class tank landing ships. ship (full load displacement of 5,200 tons) and four "Nagapatha" class conventional submarines (type 209-1400).
There are also twelve FPB-57 missile boats, KCR-40 missile boats, KCR-60 missile boats, and X-18 tank boats. These things may seem small in tonnage, but they are quite threatening.
The missile boats are equipped with at least four anti-ship missiles, including Exocet and C-701.
The X-18 tank boat is a seam monster, with a tank turret installed on the hull of the missile boat.
These missile boats and tank boats are particularly suitable for fighting in the terrain and sea conditions of the archipelago, because the Ming Empire has already built a bunch of similar things.
The reason why Zhu Cixiang quickly asked Huang Ting to stop in time was because once this group of natives were allowed to take the opportunity to grow bigger, the destructive power they would cause to the Nanyang region would be astonishing.
Fortunately, no advanced fighter jets were found on the other side. The Ming Air Force stationed nearby has reported shooting down at least ten helicopters and five transport planes of the other side.
By repeatedly studying satellite photos, Zhu Cixiang can roughly draw a conclusion, that is, the air defense capabilities of these rebels are very low.
In addition to air defense vehicles, frigates and missile boats also have some air defense capabilities.
The latter two mainly rely on 76mm main guns, 35mm close-in defense guns, and "Mika" air defense missiles to intercept air targets.
The range of "Mika" is only 20 kilometers. Even if the range is doubled, it can't resist the Ming Air Force's "Harpoon" anti-ship missile launched 50 kilometers away.
In the first three days of the war, the Ming Dynasty's division damaged a rebel dock landing ship and sank two tank landing ships and a frigate at the cost of losing four bombers and twelve jet fighters.
If the rebels in Australia will not leave and come back, then the Ming Dynasty's armies in Australia and Southeast Asia can use all their strength to encircle and suppress the indigenous people in Sumatra Island and nearby areas.
If his leader can be killed, Zhu Cixiang can get another good gift package. At the very least, it can greatly improve the transportation capabilities of the Army Aviation Force and the Air Force.
The "Black Tiger" medium tank is a thin-skinned and large-sized tank. In addition to being equipped with a 105mm cannon, it has a low cost and relatively strong maneuverability.
In terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness, it is completely incomparable with the "Tiger"-4 (prototype Leopard II) main battle tank equipped by the Ming Dynasty Army.
The Ming Dynasty Army and Marine Corps have deployed at least one tank battalion in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Medan, Banda Aceh, Jakarta, Pontianak and other places.
The war zone near the incident site has three tank battalions equipped with "Tiger"-4 main battle tanks and six tank battalions equipped with "Leopard"-2 (prototype TAM) medium tanks.
Emperor Haojing's request to all departments in the war zone is - take orders and act on the same day!
The fleet commanded by Huang Ting can arrive at the battlefield in up to four days. Before that, the garrison on Sumatra Island and nearby must do their best to contain the attack of the indigenous rebels.
Assuming that the local indigenous gift package and the Czech gift package in Zhu Cixiang's hand have the same weapon summoning time, then the leader can only summon ten tanks and various armored vehicles per day in the initial stage of "entrepreneurship".
This poses almost no threat to the Ming Dynasty. Even if the opponent tries hard to save tanks for a week, he will still be shot to death by the Ming Dynasty in the end.
On the contrary, the monthly fleet mode is extremely dangerous, as it involves an entire fleet at once, so a certain native cannot be allowed to survive until the next month...
The indigenous people who rebelled in Badong and surrounding areas did not expect that the Ming army would respond so quickly. Baro Surosa thought that the main force of the Ming army had been attracted by the enemies of Australia.
His troops were able to capture cities and territories in the East Indies. However, this smooth situation lasted only three days, and then the situation reversed.
Surosa's fleet all operated in the Mentawai Strait area, which is located in the waters west of Sumatra.
But the Ming army fought from the east of Sumatra, which meant that his navy could not cover the army and air force at all.
Unless the opponent reaches the seaside, there is nothing to do but stare at it. Perhaps it can only launch anti-ship missiles to attack the opponent.
Every shot of precious anti-ship missiles is one missing. Surosa still wants to use these treasures to defeat the attack of the Ming fleet.
The rebels also tried to capture Jambi quickly, but on the frontal battlefield, the "Black Tiger" medium tank was far from the opponent of the Tiger tank.
The former was shot down by the latter two kilometers away, demonstrating the unique skill of the flying turret in public...
The "Black Tiger", which weighs less than forty tons, is a weapon developed for low-intensity armed conflicts and cannot cope with high-intensity duels.
The "Little Rhino" wheeled assault gun's offensive and defensive capabilities are not as good as the "Black Tiger" tank, and the "Leopard" can beat it to the core with one shot.
After losing more than ten main battle equipment, tens of thousands of rebels who realized that the situation was not good had to run back in pickup trucks.
There are only more than 500 Surosa soldiers here, and the rest are natives who choose to speculate and bet, intending to go into the city to make a fortune.
As the large group of troops retreated, they were pursued by Ming army attack aircraft, armed helicopters, and aerial gunboats.
Hundreds of pickup trucks and heavy-duty trucks were lost, and thousands of casualties were lost. The meaning of "escape journey" was truly realized.
The six AC-235 aerial gunships supporting the Jambi battlefield were all shot down by the "Ao" medium-range air defense system (the missile has a maximum range of 40 kilometers).
The "狋" medium-range air defense system is not too advanced, but it has no problem fighting this kind of aerial fool.
At this time, the rebels' fatal weakness of having no fighter jets and weak air defense firepower was completely exposed. All aircraft would be severely beaten by the Ming army.
After gaining control of the air on the battlefield, the Ming army dispatched "Wang Jiu" fighter jets, "Scissored Kite" attack aircraft, and aerial gunships to continue to bombard the rebel armored vehicles indiscriminately.
The main force of the air force and naval aviation involved in encircling and suppressing the Australian rebels moved from southern Australia to many airports in western Java and southern Malay Peninsula within two days.
Whether it is a ground target or a sea target, as long as the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower is weak, it is the favorite prey of Ming pilots...
Everyone will not falsely report the results of the battle. All targets destroyed will be photographed on the spot. Not only can you get military achievements and bonuses, but it is also a good bragging material at the dinner table!
Especially after destroying the warship, the thick smoke from the target is clearly visible at an altitude of 10,000 meters. This "human landscape" is very clear in the photo.
In the first week of the war, the rebels' four "Makassar" class dock landing ships and eight "Bintuni Port" class tank landing ships were all sunk by the Ming Navy and Air Force.
Two "Manado" class frigates were also sunk, and the remaining ten could only hide among the many islands to avoid being wiped out by the opponent.
When the rebels were at their peak, they controlled less than one-fifth of Sumatra, namely Badong and the surrounding areas.
After the Ming Dynasty's army really exerted its force, the rebels who had lost their air superiority could only be defeated and retreated, unable to reverse the decline on the battlefield.
The rebel infantry was also equipped with anti-tank weapons, but relying on infantry and a small number of tanks and armored vehicles was completely unable to withstand the Ming army's onslaught.
As long as there is a target with similar firepower on the ground, the Ming army's fighter planes will drop bombs or missiles. Except for the carpet air strikes on Badong City, they have basically done everything they need to do.
For the rebel infantry, the most terrifying thing is not the Ming army's tanks, but the rocket launchers, which can kill hundreds or even thousands of them in one salvo.
The "Lion" 306mm tracked rocket launcher and the "Wild Boar" 133mm wheeled rocket launcher equipped by the Ming Dynasty King's Division are the nightmare of the rebels.
A rocket launcher battalion can destroy the defense line two to three kilometers wide on the opposite side with a single salvo, opening a gap for one's own armored forces to come out.
Then came the cover of attack aircraft and armed helicopters, and the armored troops pushed forward from the gap position one after another. This was a surprise operation that the rebels could not resist even to the death.
It may not seem very large, but this is Sumatra, not a European battlefield. The rebels themselves have limited strength in the early stages, and there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with the Ming Dynasty.
If they choose to avoid fighting, they will have nowhere to escape. Sumatra itself is long, and it is impossible for armored troops to follow the infantry to fight guerrillas in the jungle...
At first, you could board the ship and run away, but the dock landing ship and tank landing ship were sunk, and the escape vehicle no longer existed.
If anyone could swim to Somalia, Huang Ting would definitely admire him so much that he wouldn't feel bad if he was given a month's salary as a reward.
By the time Huang Ting's main fleet arrived at the battle zone at full speed, nearly half of the opponent's ships had been destroyed by naval and air force fleets. In terms of tonnage, that was more than half.
There are also ten frigates and thirty or forty missile boats and tank boats, more or less, and they have not sunk any submarines, so the task is relatively difficult.
The failure to annihilate the Australian rebels has already made Huang Ting and the entire fleet disgraced.
It was the first time in fifty years that the Ming Navy was able to defeat the rebels in a decisive battle.
The fleet is under a lot of pressure, so it's not like the Commander-in-Chief has to fight every time to win, right?
If you still can't win the game, you have to find the reason within yourself.
Because the opponent does not even have an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship, our own side has an absolute advantage.
Under heavy pressure, the fleet also fought for Huang Ting, destroying the remaining ten frigates that day and sinking at least twenty missile boats and tank boats.
The remaining task is to destroy the remaining small boats and sink all the opponent's submarines as soon as possible.
It was not a good place to stay for a long time. Seeing that the situation was not good, Surosa immediately decided to take a submarine and escape to Somalia...
Everything was as expected by Emperor Haojing. Through research, he found that the main battle equipment in the gift package was almost all disposable.
For example, a "Scarab" main battle tank can be used as a tractor after all the shells in the vehicle are fired.
There is no way to replenish it with shells of the same type, except by taking them from other tanks.
The fuel can be used in models produced and imported by Daming, so it can be used as a tractor, otherwise it can only be sold for scrap metal.
The same is true for naval ships. After the missiles and artillery shells on the rebel frigates are used up, these things are just living targets.
Zhu Cixiang's only worry is the rebel submarine. If it is really the Type 209, it may obtain torpedoes from the rebels elsewhere, which will threaten the safety of maritime transportation lines for a long time.
Zhu Cixiang didn't have the final say on this matter. The details depended on the anti-submarine capabilities of Huang Ting's fleet.
The number of submarines is also difficult to estimate. Theoretically, it is four to eight, and at most it will not exceed ten.
The other party deliberately detours and takes the route south of the Chagos Islands to Somalia. There is a real possibility that our fleet will not be able to catch it.
Anti-submarine is a matter of bold attack within the scope of scientific rationality, and a little luck, so that it can be completely solved.
It belongs to the metaphysical style of pulling a net to catch fish, which can only be met but not sought...
