At this time, Australia.
Xie Fang has not heard good news for a long time.
Fighting against the French fleet fully exposed the shortcomings of his battleships.
It also exposed how much harm the military leasing, free trade and other policies he implemented during his time in power did to a government.
Long Yanjun is under such a long-term military leasing policy.
Those employers are very willing to build the Long Yan Army into a private army that belongs to them. Without institutional constraints and strict training, this army has turned into a group of drunkards, gamblers, and hooligans...]
Military discipline is in disarray, combat effectiveness is low, and only some elites have not been corrupted.
These two months of combat gave Xie Fang a deep understanding of how difficult it is to build an iron army, and how easy it is to destroy an elite force.
After the war breaks out, the dispersion of the army is not the most fatal, and these can be corrected.
However, the free trade market, which forms the cornerstone of the Australian economy, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Drew has long instigated the rebellion of many businessmen, who are businessmen with dual nationalities.
There will be no obstacles to their departure.
After the war broke out, a large number of businessmen left here, and the finances of the Xie Fang government stagnated for a time.
Fighting means fighting for money!
The direct result of financial collapse and military corruption was the rapid advance of the French army.
The situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse.
General Li, who was in charge of the battle at the time, had been away from the army for 20 years. He had no idea that the super-strong army built by Liu Zheng would now be a mess!
Xie Fang sat in the main hall, covering his forehead with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "My lords, do you still need a good strategy for the army now?"
None of the ministers in the court spoke.
All was silent.
Xie Fang stood up and glanced at these people coldly: "The French fleet is almost reaching Sydney Harbor, and you can't even think of a way?"
Someone from the military stood up and said: "There is no money and military discipline is corrupt. Although the Yinzhou ship is powerful, it is useless without good soldiers!"
"Your Majesty, there must still be resistance from our Dragon Flame Army on Tasmania."
"I propose to use delaying tactics and improve military discipline!"
"As for military expenditures, I suggest that your Majesty use your family wealth!"
Xie Fang looked at this totally disrespectful general and said coldly: "I am still the emperor of Australia. Do you want to die?"
The general raised his head and looked indifferently at Xie Fang, who was furious on the throne. He was the one who wasted Australia's great situation.
Now if they, the Long Yan Army, are asked to work for Xie Fang, how could they, the Long Yan Army, agree?
Strictly speaking, they were Long Yan's soldiers, not Xie Fang's troops.
"Hmph, Xie Fang, remember that we are Long Yan's soldiers, and Australia was given to you by Lord Liu Zheng!"
The general threw the jade gui in his hand and walked away.
"You!!!" Xie Fang said angrily.
When the ministers saw Xie Fang, they were so angry that they trembled all over. Looking at the background of the general leaving quietly, they stared at Xie Fang without any respect in their eyes.
Australia is Long Yan’s Australia.
It's not Xie Fang's.
There will be a second one who dares to reprimand Xie Fang face to face.
The monarchy had long been abolished in Longyan, and these ministers who came from Longyan are not afraid of the emperor Xie Fang now.
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request your Majesty to use your family wealth for military expenses!"
"I beg you, Your Majesty!"
…
The voices of the courtiers shook the entire Jinluan Palace, and Xie Fang stared at everyone blankly.
He didn't expect that so many courtiers would be against him today.
"Rebellion, everything is reversed!"
"You dare to force the palace, do you want to kill the nine tribes!"
The ministers said in a deep voice: "If my head can bring peace to Australia, I will die without regrets!"
Xie Fang looked at these courtiers, laughed sadly, and walked down the hall.
There was silence all around.
He looked at these courtiers who usually wished they had the word "loyalty" engraved on their faces, but now...
Those feelings of awe were gone.
Everywhere you look, there are rebels!
He looked at the current Prime Minister, who remained silent and expressed his determination.
He looked at the six ministers, who stared at him without saying anything.
In the eyes of the courtiers, Xie Fang seems to be a greedy person, and he still controls the treasury and refuses to let go.
He walked behind the scenes, and the old eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Quit the court!"
…
And at the same time.
Because of Louis XV's arbitrary actions, the French army increased its troops in Australia. This was a good thing for Australia. More troops gave them the ability to take over Australia.
The sea is the center of their war. After receiving additional troops, the number of warships has also been expanded.
The advantage of war at sea came to their side.
After so many battles, the French army was close to holding Sydney Harbour.
But Li He, who was still fighting on the island, knew nothing about this.
When the French army did not increase its troops, the new material exchange conditions promulgated by Li He allowed them to achieve good results.
A large amount of supplies were obtained in a short period of time.
The French army was also overwhelmed by the Resistance's Sparrow War.
However, with the increase of French troops and the black troops hired by France from Africa, his battle became extremely fierce.
The supply speed produced by the small workshop they established in the flour mill was far less than the consumption speed.
But now is when the rebel forces on Tasmania need these supplies the most.
In order to maintain the coalition operations, Li He decided to take risks.
Unite all the resistance forces on the island and launch an all-out war to cripple the enemy forces as quickly as possible.
Li He summoned all the resistance leaders to discuss the matter.
conference hall.
"I think now is the best time to attack. If we delay, we will not have enough supplies and troops. The enemy's counter-encirclement and suppression campaign has accelerated. We must unite and fight together."
"I don't have any problem with that," Barbatos said.
"But one thing to note is that our current number of troops is less than 20,000, and there are more than a dozen teams."
"We can follow your command, but will certain troops really contribute in this battle?"
"I don't think they will, these borers are just going to eat away at our supplies in the back and I think they should be kicked out now."
Barbatos's eyes fell on another Tasmanian force.
This is a force forcibly spliced together by the residents of Tasmania, similar to mercenaries.
Their employer was a British man named Falk, an immigrated businessman.
The French were equally unfriendly to the British.
Fuck stared at Barbatos. He didn't like the other party's attitude very much: "Barbatos, I am also an Australian. I have Australian nationality. Please understand that the weapons you are using now were built and used at my expense."
"I hate those invaders as much as you do. They burned down my shop and destroyed my home!"
"My troops and I will fight with you!"
