After the Prime Minister walked out of the Trianon Palace, he went straight to the home of Duke Harvey.
Louis XV had given his approval for the attack on Australia.
They must act now.
As soon as the Prime Minister arrived at Duke Harvey's castle, he saw a leisurely and relaxed look on his face, as if he had already forgotten about Australia.
"Oh, Prime Minister, why are you coming to my place if you don't accompany Your Majesty when he wakes up?" Duke Harvey said enthusiastically when he saw the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister smiled and said: "His Majesty has approved the attack on Australia."
"We must act now."
Upon hearing the news, Duke Harvey was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of shock: "Our cowardly Majesty agreed."
The Prime Minister nodded vigorously.
Harvey smiled boldly: "This is really good news."
"Have they informed us? We need to make plans immediately."
The Prime Minister nodded: "Not yet. I can't stay long. See you in the conference hall."
Harvey said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
The two men went to inform other ministers separately, and soon they gathered in the French Chamber.
In the conference hall, a map of Long Yan's arrival in Australia hung.
However, there was only an outline on Long Yan's map, and they had no idea what was going on inside.
With France's power, there was no way to detect what was going on inside Long Yan.
But other places, places like Indonesia, are incredibly detailed.
This is especially true in Australia.
The Prime Minister sometimes wonders why Australia and Long Yan have the same roots, and why Long Yan has achieved such a perfect level of information control.
Australian geographical intelligence, like a lamb with no secrets, was all exposed in front of them.
Duke Harvey also came from the battlefield. He looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "According to our intelligence in Australia, there are as many as 150,000 Longyan troops stationed in Australia."
"The number is not large, but it is still quite a lot. Australia has a flat terrain, with some hills at most and not many peaks, which is suitable for army operations."
"here."
Harvey pointed to a mountain range that almost crosses the entire country in the southeast on the map of Australia.
"According to intelligence, this is the place with the most livable climate and environment in Australia. Xie Fang and his empire were established along this southeastern coastline."
"Because important cities are concentrated along this coastline, and they rely on the natural barrier of mountains, we are left with only two options."
"One comes ashore from the southeast coast, but there will be a heavy price to pay."
"The other is to land from other ports, but because of the mountains and climate, this provides Xie with an almost impenetrable natural barrier."
"Mountains and dense jungle will stop our march."
Harvey added: "In view of Australia's terrain, in my opinion, we need to proceed step by step and steadily, and if we send the navy directly from France to reach Australia, we need to bypass Africa and enter the Pacific from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa."
"The time and route are too long, and we are not sure how many troops we need to send to capture Australia."
"I suggest that we first occupy Australia's surrounding islands, use island encirclement tactics, and then eat away at Australia bit by bit."
Everyone pondered for a moment and then argued: "The combat effectiveness of the Dragon Flame Fleet is even more powerful than our French fleet."
"We don't have any advantage by adopting island siege tactics."
"Furthermore, Australia is a huge area. If we adopt island siege tactics, how many troops will we have to send out?"
"Do we still have so many soldiers in France now?"
Harvey shook his head, pointed at the map, and said calmly: "We only need to occupy Australia's key islands to achieve a blockade."
"I also said just now that the country established by Xie Fang is now entrenched on the entire southeast coast and other places."
"We only need to control the entire southeastern coast to cut off Australia's external connections."
"As for the battleships you are talking about, Xie Fang owns Long Yan's Yinzhou ships. We have already arranged people in Australia, and they will be in charge of those Yinzhou ships."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a good plan.
The Prime Minister looked at Harvey and said in a deep voice: "But we in France don't have so much time now. The siege strategy is very good, but we need a faster way."
"I propose to establish a stronghold and then force a landing, and use the advantages of our French army to quickly occupy the Australian capital."
Harvey looked deeply at the Prime Minister, but did not contradict his plan.
All he could say was: "Okay."
Seeing Harvey's agreement, the Prime Minister said forcefully: "Now that the strategy has been formulated, let's start taking action."
"In this war, Duer will be the naval commander, and Duke Harvey will be the commander-in-chief..."
After the order is issued.
The French troops moved quickly.
It didn't take long for the French navy to set off.
…
At this time, Xie Fang was in Australia.
The season of Longyan at this moment should be winter, but in Australia the sun is shining brightly.
Xie Fang was lying comfortably on the beach, surrounded by a standard beauty from Australia with an exposed figure.
He looked at the beauty and smiled.
He held her in his arms.
During these days in Australia, Xie Fang, the emperor who originally wanted to work hard to govern, was completely relaxed at this moment.
There is absolutely no ambition as before.
The development of Australia at the moment is pretty good, but this is not Long Yan.
As Long Yan's former crown prince, Xie Fang naturally wanted to return to Long Yan, but he couldn't go back to Long Yan now.
His ability is nothing compared to Liu Zheng.
Instead of thinking about those unhappy things, it is better to continue to enjoy your current imperial life.
You can't get it in Longyan.
He's in Australia and will get it all.
Not long after, Xie Fang left with satisfaction.
The Prime Minister looked at Xie Fang, who he now only knew was greedy for pleasure, sighed and shook his head.
When Xie Fang first arrived here, he was still full of ambitions.
But since Xie Fang came back from Longyan, Xie Fang has completely fallen.
Although everything seems to be calm in Australia now, potential immigration issues and military leasing issues urgently need to be resolved.
Moreover, the Prime Minister received news from Long Yan that the Liangzhou laboratory is currently working on something special. It is said that many places in Liangzhou have been sealed off.
The Prime Minister looked at Xie Fang and said bluntly: "Your Majesty cannot continue to degenerate. We have to return to Long Yan."
Hearing this sentence, Xie Fang couldn't help but laugh. Returning to Long Yan, this sentence is just bullshit here!
