Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Mulan City Government,

In the mayor's office,

Mei Ping, the mayor of Mulan City, stared at the annual report in her hand with a frown on her face. In the past year since she took over Mulan City,

All economic indicators are declining rapidly.

The annual GDP in 1951 was 1133.57 billion yuan, down 13.22%; fiscal revenue was 135.6 billion yuan, down 35.67%; the annual fiscal surplus was 1.2 million yuan!

This means that she spent all the assets left by the former mayor Yin Xinjun in almost one year!

Mei Ping was a little depressed. In the past year, she reflected on herself and realized that she had worked almost all year round and devoted herself to her work, but she still couldn't stop the downward trend!

Alas! Yin Xinjun is indeed outstanding in economics, it is impossible not to admit it!

In a few days, the year-end meeting will begin. How will people view these figures when they are read out?

Mei Ping is a competitive person. Her hard work in Changchun City caught the attention of her superiors, who directly transferred her to a more important job position!

There were footsteps at the door.

Deputy Mayor Tong Yu and Secretary Xiao Rong walked in together!

Both of them had happy expressions on their faces!

Xiao Rong held a telegram in his hand and said,

"Mayor Mei, please take a look at this telegram from the Ministry of Finance and Supplies of Haizhou State!"

Mei Ping hurriedly took the telegram. It turned out that Haizhou State had done statistics and found that by the end of 1951, Mulan City had provided Haizhou State with a total of 5 people of various human resources! Based on an average of 106 per person, Haizhou State would pay Mulan City billion yuan in compensation!

Mei Ping was overjoyed. This was truly an unexpected fortune!

"When Lao Yin transferred personnel from Changchun, he also said that they would be paid for use. It turns out that it is true. I had forgotten about it!"

Tong Yu also laughed,

"The government is short of money this year, and this money will be of great use!"

Mulan City has a huge annual fiscal expenditure. Just in the area of ​​education, the government has to spend 12 billion yuan in cash every year for 30 years of compulsory education. Moreover, Mulan City is the only region in the country that implements 12 years of compulsory education!

Xiao Rong handed over the second telegram.

"Mayor, this is a letter of intent from the Aviation Department of Haizhou, hoping that the two places will strengthen cooperation and build an aviation education base in Mulan. Please take a look!"

The second telegram was very long. The Ministry of Aviation of Haizhou State wanted to build four aviation academies and 10 airports in Mulan City, and train no less than pilots every year! Therefore, the funds, equipment, and training aircraft needed would all be provided by the Ministry of Aviation of Haizhou State!

The requirements for pilots are very high, not only in terms of physical fitness but also cultural quality. They are required to have at least graduated from junior high school. After several years of compulsory education, the cultural quality of the residents in Mulan City is generally high, with an illiteracy rate of only 13%, ranking first in the country. The city has the conditions to train a large number of pilots!

Mei Ping nodded and said,

"I think there's no problem. Let's hold a meeting in the city and report to the higher-ups. You've also heard that Old Yin has declared war on Britain and the United States at the same time. They need pilots! We must give them our full support!"

Tong Yu said,

"Of course not. My wife is so anxious that she sends telegrams to the brothers in Haizhou every day, asking about the situation. She even wants to go and fight in person!"

South Australia,

In the early morning, Port Adelaide was still shrouded in mist, and the roar of dock cranes and the sound of waves were intertwined.

Suddenly, a shrill air defense alarm tore through the silence, and the lookout on duty was horrified to find dense black spots appearing in the sky - 65 carrier-based Yue Fei fighter jets were in a goose formation, their silver wings glowing coldly in the morning sun, approaching at a low altitude raid.

Almost at the same time, a formation of 40 White Tiger heavy bombers of the Army Aviation appeared above the clouds, making a heavy buzzing sound as they cut through the air.

The ground anti-aircraft firepower was hastily activated, and black smoke from several anti-aircraft guns exploded in the sky, but Yue Fei's fighter planes quickly dispersed with their flexible maneuverability and quickly launched rockets in counterattack. The anti-aircraft guns were immediately blown to pieces and there was no sound anymore!

Afterwards, Yue Fei's fighter plane began to attack targets on the ground, and rockets under the wings whizzed towards the oil tanks and ammunition depots at the port. Amid violent explosions, orange-red flames shot up into the air, and the oil tanks instantly became burning torches, with thick smoke covering half of the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the White Tiger heavy bomber began dropping bombs at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

One after another, 1000-kilogram high-explosive bombs penetrated the mist and accurately hit the dock facilities and the anchored cargo ships. The reinforced concrete dock collapsed in the explosion, a huge crack was blown open on the deck of the cargo ship, and the ship, which was burning fiercely, tilted helplessly on the sea.

The port's communication towers and warehouses were destroyed one after another, and burning wooden boxes and cargo debris fell like raindrops, covering the roads in the port area with charred debris.

The bombing lasted for nearly half an hour. When the Haizhou aircraft gradually disappeared at the junction of the sea and the sky, Port Adelaide had become a ruin. The burning smoke rose into the sky, the injured workers groaned in the rubble, and the sea water was dyed into a strange color by oil and blood. This once busy port suffered a devastating blow on this day.

Starting from January 1, White Tiger fighters entered Australia, and the advancing ground forces built an airport next to the railway 16 kilometers south of Port Hedland. Because it is next to Mount Charles, the airport is called Charles Airport!

The four White Tiger Squadrons of the 1st Air Wing of the Army Aviation entered Charles Airport. Ding Shan ordered the implementation of all-weather and non-stop bombing in the deep areas of Australia!

The targets of the attacks include but are not limited to military bases, airports, ports, oil depots and other important facilities. All Australian citizens must understand that they are already in a state of war!

London, United Kingdom,

10 Downing Street,

Prime Minister's Official Residence,

Foreign Minister Eden hurried into Prime Minister Churchill's office.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, we have just received a telegram from the New Zealand government, in which they are demanding to withdraw from the Commonwealth!"

Except for the United Kingdom, all Commonwealth countries were former colonies of the British Empire. By forming the Commonwealth, these countries can enjoy internal tariff preferences, which is equivalent to forming a global trade organization under the leadership of the United Kingdom!

Churchill gritted his teeth and said,

"This coward must have been frightened by the Haizhou Kingdom!"

Aiden continued,

"The US side asked when our troops can set off?"

After declaring war on Haizhou, the United States, Britain and Commonwealth member states formed an alliance, with a total of 300,000 ground troops, which have begun to assemble on the east coast of Australia in recent days!
