The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

After dealing with the unexpected Japanese submarine, Long Fei's fleet continued its slow advance.

Even with reduced speed, they quickly reached the waters more than 20 nautical miles from Darwin.

Long Fei then ordered the fleet to remain on alert and wait in place.

Meanwhile, Xie Qiang ordered all ships to proceed at high speed in order to reach Sydney Harbour as soon as possible.

Finally, after two days, they successfully entered the Tasman Sea and stopped more than 20 nautical miles off Sydney Harbour, awaiting Long Fei's order to attack.

After receiving Xie Qiang's report, Long Fei immediately sent a telegram to Kangaroo Island.

On January 1, 1901, Kangaroo Island officially became a self-governing dominion of the Lion Federation, which meant that Kangaroo Island gained independence from the colonial rule of the Lion Kingdom.

Subsequently, the various colonies on Kangaroo Island were reorganized into states, forming the Commonwealth of Kangaroo.

Furthermore, in 1931, Kangaroo Island gained further autonomy in its domestic and foreign affairs, becoming an independent nation within the Lion Federation.

However, it wasn't until 1986, when the Lion Country Parliament passed the "Kangaroo Island Relations Act," that Kangaroo Island gained full legislative power and final judicial jurisdiction.

Therefore, there is no problem for Long Fei to send a telegram directly to Kangaroo Island, which has now gained autonomy in its domestic and foreign affairs.

Long Fei's telegram read: "Kangaroo Island Government, we are the Longyan People's Army Navy of the Longyan Kingdom. We are now formally informing you."

Kangaroo Island was successfully discovered by the navigator Wang Dayuan as early as the Yuan Dynasty of China. Wang Dayuan later wrote the book "A Brief Account of the Island Barbarians" to record his discovery in written form.

In the book, Mr. Wang Dayuan named Kangaroo Island "Rosas" and "Desolate Island," which is more than three hundred years earlier than the discovery of Kangaroo Island by your Western countries.

Therefore, Kangaroo Island has been an inherent part of China's territory since ancient times, which is an indisputable fact.

We are here on behalf of the Chinese nation to reclaim our territory. You have three hours to consider.

If you return it voluntarily, we will treat all the people on the island properly. However, if you refuse, we will use force to forcibly take it back.

After receiving Long Fei's telegram, the high-ranking government officials on Kangaroo Island laughed uproariously.

The high-ranking officials of the Kangaroo Island government are all descendants of convicts exiled from the Lion Kingdom. He is not a native of Kangaroo Island; the blood of the former British Empire flows in his veins.

They could hardly believe that a weak Eastern country, which had been weak for a century, had been ruthlessly bullied and humiliated by them, and had been insultingly called the "Sick Man of East Asia," was now being referred to.

Now they actually dare to send troops to brazenly reclaim some inherent territory. Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?

The Prime Minister of Kangaroo Island, Curtin, is now the Prime Minister of Kangaroo Island, which has gained independence, but in reality, he is just a front man for Lion Country on Kangaroo Island.

While convening a meeting with high-ranking government and military officials to discuss the situation, he immediately reported the situation to the Prime Minister of the Lion Kingdom, Chogir.

After reading the telegram, Qiujier, with a cigar in his mouth, let out a burst of maniacal laughter.

"Has the Chinese nation lost its mind? Do they think they're so powerful just because they drove away the Japanese invaders? How dare they send troops to challenge my British Empire?"

Qiu Jier was burning with anger and, in his agitation, picked up the phone to summon the naval commander, but then he changed his mind and had to put the phone down heavily.

The Hans Kingdom is now sending a large number of aircraft to bomb the Lion Kingdom every day, and has also amassed a large number of warships, seemingly intending to cross the English Channel and attack the Lion Kingdom's homeland.

Although the Hans Kingdom is currently focusing most of its military forces on the Rakshasa Kingdom, no one knows whether Sitra, which has turned Europe upside down, will launch a blitzkrieg against the Lion Kingdom.

Qiujier initially intended to send a fleet to Kangaroo Island to teach the Dragon Flame People's Army Navy a lesson.

However, Qiujier was worried that if the naval forces were withdrawn now, they might not be able to withstand the Hans's navy, thus endangering the safety of the homeland.

After careful consideration, he decided to seek advice from his allies, the United States and Russia.

While awaiting Chouihar's reply, Prime Minister Curtin quickly convened a meeting with relevant personnel to discuss the matter.

Those attending the meeting were all high-ranking officials from Kangaroo Island. They were all descendants of the Lion Country and looked down on China from the bottom of their hearts, and did not believe that China had much naval strength.

Therefore, the meeting quickly reached a resolution to reject the unreasonable demands made by the Longyan People's Army Navy.

He also demanded that General Thomas, the commander-in-chief of the army on Kangaroo Island, immediately order the army to enter a state of high alert and resolutely repel the enemy's attack.

Thomas was originally sent by Kangaroo Island to the Middle East to command the First Army of Kangaroo Island, but in order to prevent Japan from attacking Kangaroo Island, he was urgently recalled to take charge of the island's homeland defense.

Thomas didn't know much about China, but as an excellent military commander, he didn't underestimate his opponent.

Therefore, he immediately ordered aircraft to take off and conduct reconnaissance off the coast of Darwin, and canceled all leave for the troops, putting them on high alert.

After contacting US President Ross and Russian leader Stalin, Qiujier immediately abandoned the idea of ​​sending a fleet.

Stalin harbored a deep grudge against the Dragon Flame Army, so his advice to Qiujier was to have the government and military on Kangaroo Island deal with the situation firmly, but he did not recommend that Qiujier send a fleet there.

Because of the long distance, by the time the fleet arrives after traveling thousands of miles, the battle will probably already be over.

In addition, Stalin reminded Qiujier that the greatest threat now was the Hans nation, so all forces must be concentrated to fight against it, and absolutely no troops should be divided.

As for US President Ross, he is currently preoccupied with the war with Japan in the Pacific and has no time to worry about the safety of Kangaroo Island.

However, because they were tricked into buying two islands by the Dragon Flame Kingdom and had three warships sunk by them, they must be extremely unhappy.

He shared Stalin's opinion that Chouigh must be dealt with toughly, and that he should also encourage the garrison on Kangaroo Island to fight tenaciously.

Ross thought that if the Kangaroo Island army could inflict heavy losses on the Dragon Flame Kingdom's army, it would be equivalent to helping him vent his anger and get revenge.

If the army on Kangaroo Island cannot stop the army of the Dragon Flame Kingdom, then the loss of Kangaroo Island is no big deal for the United States, and there will be no loss whatsoever.

After careful consideration, Chouihart accepted the suggestions from Russia and the United States. He immediately ordered Prime Minister Curtin to have Kangaroo Island firmly refuse and to mobilize all the troops on the island to resolutely resist.

After receiving Qiu Jier's reply, Ke Ting felt even more confident, so he immediately sent a telegram back to Long Fei, and the telegram was extremely tough and arrogant.

To the Dragon Flame People's Army and Navy of the Dragon Flame Kingdom: Kangaroo Island rejects your unreasonable and absurd demands and solemnly warns you to leave immediately. If you dare to land, we will consider it an act of aggression, and the Kangaroo Island army will annihilate you all.
