The sun never sets.

The 30 thousand households belonged to Lin Yongchang's direct tribe. They were not worried about being without food and clothing after arriving in Australia, but the vastness of Australia still exceeded the Mongols' expectations. The pastures here were much better than those in Mobei.

His Majesty the Emperor not only allocated cattle, sheep and horses to them, but also allowed them to hunt freely on this land, not with bows and arrows, but with rifles, and sometimes with sabers. Their prey included medium and large creatures on this land, kangaroos, bison, wild sheep, etc., as well as those white colonists.

Legend has it that the local government funded the purchase of white colonists' heads, and each head could be exchanged for 50 yuan, which is not much, but it can buy a lot of things. Now the average monthly salary of Union workers is only 280 yuan, and 50 yuan can do a lot of things.

Of course, these are just legends, and no government official will admit it openly. There are some things that can’t be done, and some things that can’t be said.

Lin Jieye and the soldiers had a meal of barbecued kangaroo. The kangaroo meat was very unpalatable, and its taste was incomparable to beef and mutton. Even with all kinds of seasonings, it still had a taste of urea and was difficult to swallow. However, Lin Jieye, like the other soldiers, ate up all the kangaroo meat happily.

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry is one of the alliance's trump cards. The firepower and impact of the cavalry are not as good as those of the armored forces, and the firepower output is not even as good as that of an ordinary infantry division, but the People's Army still has a large number of cavalry units, because the cavalry can do many things that infantry and armored divisions cannot do.

Australia has a vast territory and a lot of barren land. In such a place, cavalry is much more effective than armored forces in most cases. Lin Jiye's [Mongol Iron Cavalry] was ordered to harass the heartland of the Australians. The Australians would use guerrilla tactics, and the Mongols would also do so, and they would do it better.

The year has come to 1926, and countries are still busy dividing up the legacy of the former world hegemon, and the war in Australia is still going on.

Since the Mongol cavalry appeared in Australia, the situation on the battlefield has changed. Before that, the Australian army was losing ground on the front battlefield, but it still caused a lot of trouble to the alliance through repeated harassment and attacks. The appearance of the Mongol cavalry changed this situation, and the targets of burning, killing and looting became the Australian colonists.

The Mongolian cavalry took advantage of their strong mobility and ability to endure harsh environments. They often rushed out from the uninhabited desert areas, looted the villages and towns of the Australian colonists, and then withdrew leisurely with the slaves.

The air force of the Australian Army further increased, shooting down a large number of Australian aircraft, which allowed the Mongolian cavalry to gallop freely over the vast land. In addition, the Mongolian Iron Cavalry had a lot of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, which could pose a great threat to Australian biplanes.

The Australian War turned from an army battle into a bloody killing game in which everyone participated. The Australian army would massacre the allied immigrants whenever they had the chance, and the Mongolian cavalry also launched a killing spree on the white colonists.

Wherever the Mongolian cavalry conquered, anything that could not be taken away would be burned, and any slaves that could not be taken away would be killed. From January to July 1926, the Australian government lost less than 7 troops, but the population loss reached million.

If the loss is 160 million people every year, all white people in Australia will be dead in two years.

The Australian government accused the Alliance of brutality in the international community, which greatly reduced the Alliance's international reputation. The Alliance responded by presenting a lot of evidence of the Australian government's massacre of indigenous peoples. After liberating Northern Australia, the Alliance obtained a lot of evidence to prove that the Australian government had been systematically killing people of color in order to achieve the goal of genocide.

For Westerners, the massacre of the indigenous people by white people is already commonplace, and organized massacres are not uncommon. But isn't this God's will? White people can massacre the indigenous people, but not vice versa. Both Germany and the United States protested to the People's Revolutionary League, demanding that the International Red Cross be allowed to enter Australia to prevent the humanitarian crisis there.

The Alliance Central Committee agreed to set up an investigation team and sent some cadres there. Faced with the various evidences produced by the Alliance, the International Red Cross had to admit that the Australian government had indeed committed terrible crimes, but this did not mean that the Alliance was innocent.

Germany, the United States, and some other European countries have been promoting the brutality of the alliance, linking the People's Revolutionary League with the Mongols in history. This is not too far-fetched, as there are more and more Mongols in Australia.

However, the opposition and protests from the European and American powers could not stop the alliance's actions in Australia. Because the People's Revolutionary League had a large enough population, and because of the influx of Japanese and Mongolians, the area under the control of the Australian government became smaller and smaller. By September, the population under the control of the Australian government was only two million.

Where did the others go? Some were killed in battle, some were taken as slaves by the Mongols, and some were missing. Missing means gone, perhaps dead, or left Australia on a ship.

The Allied Army advanced steadily on Australian soil, and the Australian Army launched several attacks, but all ended in failure. Seeing that the Australian government had less than half of its control, the US government could no longer bear it and sent a note to the Allied Foreign Ministry, requesting mediation in the Australian war.

Chapter 764: Shock

American Ambassador James sat in the back seat of the car and looked out. The streets of Chang'an were bustling with people coming and going, and it seemed extremely prosperous and lively. The people here were enjoying a good life, and the bloody killing thousands of miles away did not seem to have any impact on them.

It’s not that no one in Chang’an is discussing the war going on in Australia, but most people are more concerned about what to eat for dinner tonight, or whether the price of green peppers has increased by five cents, or what new movies will be released this weekend.

As the capital of the Human Innovation Alliance, Chang'an has something new every once in a while, and it has been like this for more than ten years. Even James has to admit that Chang'an may be a greater city than New York.

The city of Chang'an, with Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace as its core, has been expanding continuously. Its permanent population is said to have exceeded 600 million, making it a veritable world-class metropolis.

James sometimes feels envy, jealousy and hatred. He thinks that a city like Chang'an belongs to the United States, but it is in Asia. James knows that it is wrong to have such emotions, which will hinder his diplomatic work, but looking at this city, he can't help but feel sour.

The vehicle stopped at the gate, the driver showed his pass, the guard checked it, and then checked the car before letting James and the others in. Although no one in this world had used a car bomb to launch an attack, Lin Yongchang didn't want to see that kind of scene in Chang'an City at all.

The American ambassador's car passed through three inspections before arriving at the Union's Ministry of Foreign Affairs office building. "Mr. Ambassador, please come this way. The Deputy Minister is waiting for you."

James felt more and more unhappy when he saw the confident and cheerful smiles on the faces of the league staff. He suppressed his unhappiness and followed the staff forward. After walking a few steps, he saw Gu Weijun, the league's deputy foreign minister, at the door of the building.

Gu Weijun is a rising star in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He went to the United States to study when he was young and graduated from Columbia University. Later, he served as a diplomat of the People's Government in Mexico and also served as ambassador to the United States. After returning to China, he worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is now the deputy minister. It is said that he will soon replace Tang Shaoyi as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Mr. James."

"Minister Gu."

The two shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries, then Gu Weijun led him and his assistant into the conference room. After James sat down, he smiled and said, "Gu, congratulations on becoming a member of the Central Committee."

Gu Weijun once studied in the United States and worked as an ambassador. He and James knew each other before, so they had a close relationship. To some extent, Gu Weijun was a "pro-American".

"Thank you. James, let's get down to business first."

"Well," American Ambassador James opened the memo, "according to my government's..."

Everything that was said was written in a memorandum. Gu Weijun had a copy in his hand. He quickly read through the contents. What was written in it was nothing more than a request for the Alliance to cease fire in Australia, withdraw to the vicinity of Carnarvon, and return the Port of Darwin and other cities and ports to Australia.

This is definitely not possible. How can you get what you can't get on the battlefield at the negotiation table? Gu Weijun only took a few glances and knew that this memorandum was just a cover. The Americans were still prepared to use the "salami slicing" tactic, first proposing a condition that the other party absolutely could not accept, and then dividing the interests into small pieces and slowly negotiating.

But if the Americans can drag it out, can the Australian government continue to drag it out?

After James finally finished reading the terms in the memorandum, Gu Weijun said, "The Alliance does not agree with the armistice terms proposed by the Australian government."

If one only looked at the armistice conditions of the Australian government, one would certainly think that the Alliance was being suppressed and was about to launch the Battle of Guangzhou.

Negotiations are nothing more than coercion and inducement. The Australian government has not offered sufficient compensation and cannot pose a threat to the alliance, so the things in the memorandum can naturally be thrown aside.

Gu Weijun proposed the armistice terms for the alliance. The conditions of the People's Revolutionary League were generally fair. It only ceded two-thirds of Australia and reduced the war reparations it demanded to 4 million yuan.

To be honest, this amount of money is really just a token of appreciation. The amount that the alliance has to pay back to the United States every year is about 200 million, and it has to pay back for a total of 20 years. In the next decade or so, it will give the United States a large number of cars, televisions, refrigerators and other industrial products every year to offset the debt.

In Gu Weijun's opinion, the conditions offered by the alliance were very fair. But the American ambassador immediately exclaimed, "Gu, you know that the Australian government will never agree to such conditions!"

"Oh, then keep fighting until

Until they agree. But the next time we negotiate, it may not be the same condition. James, you know, the conditions are always changing. "

"I think you don't know a piece of news yet, Gu. The US Congress has agreed to send volunteers to Australia."

"really?"

Gu Weijun showed a shocked expression, which made James secretly happy. But Gu Weijun immediately said: "I thought the US government would focus on Mexico and Latin America. Is Washington going to give up its control over South America?"

Revolution is contagious. After the establishment of the French Commune, it has been exporting revolution to all surrounding areas. Under the influence of the French Commune, the British Civil War broke out. More than 100,000 French volunteers crossed the English Channel and participated in the Red and White Civil War in Britain.

The Human Innovation Alliance also sent 24 volunteers to Britain and provided a large number of tanks. The alliance's tank industry ranked first in the world, producing thousands of tanks and transformable vehicles every year. After the latest Type tank was finalized, the existing tanks were either shipped to Australia or supported by the British Red Army.

The British Red Army was not in an advantageous position at first, but with the assistance of the French Commune and the Alliance, the Red Army successfully defeated the British Army and forced the Windsor family to flee to Canada.

During the English Civil War, the German Empire once wanted to intervene, but the League carried out a partial mobilization, increased the Polish garrison to 110 million, and held a military exercise. The League claimed that the exercise was not aimed at any country, but just wanted to test the mobilization and combat effectiveness of the army. However, the German Empire had to consider the possibility of a surprise attack by the League.

In addition, the French Commune also carried out partial mobilization, and a large army was stationed on the German-French border. It was not until the German Empire canceled its plan to interfere in the British Civil War that the Alliance and the French Commune canceled the mobilization and disbanded the mobilized army.

As a result, the British Red Army and the Red Navy won the civil war. Inspired by the victory of the British Revolution, revolutions broke out in Mexico and Latin American countries. Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama were influenced by the socialist Mexican export revolution under the rule of the radical proletariat, and syndicalist revolutions broke out one after another, preparing to establish the Central American Syndicalist Federation together with Mexico.

"I thought the United States would be more focused on the upcoming Central American Syndicalist Federation. After all, the United States has occupied too much land in Mexico."

Gu Weijun's tone was sincere, but James just wanted to punch him in the face.

Chapter 765: Truce

The US government is willing to invest money in Australia because Australia can become a place to consume the alliance's strength. According to incomplete statistics, since the outbreak of the Australian war, the People's Revolutionary League's investment in the country has dropped by 40% to 60%, and the growth of its strength has slowed down a lot.

If the war could last for another decade or eight, the United States would have the potential to regain its position as the world's leading industrial nation. Of course, the alliance's investment amount dropped significantly because it was fighting in Southeast Asia, Britain, and Australia at the same time, not just in Australia.

War consumes a lot of resources. As weapons become more advanced, the speed at which wars burn money is also increasing. [People's Revolutionary League] Fighting on three battlefields at the same time consumes a lot of resources.

In order to continue the war and ensure sustainable development, the central government of the alliance had no choice but to issue bonds again, bringing the alliance's national debt to a historical high.

Fortunately, the civil war in Britain ended and the British troops in Southeast Asia surrendered, which reduced military spending. But the good times did not last long. The scale of the war in Australia became larger and larger, more and more troops were deployed, and immigrants had to be transported there, so the cost of spending continued to rise.

The war expenses were reduced by less than half, but the special expenses (immigration expenses) increased tenfold. The local governments and the private sector in Japan raised a lot of money for the immigrants, but it was still only a small part, and the bulk of the money still came from the government's financial allocation.

The US government achieved their goal by simply giving the Australians some guns and cannons, which brought the economic growth of the alliance to a halt. However, the Americans certainly did not expect that when they focused their attention on Australia, a huge country like the Central American Syndicalist Federation would appear next to them.

If it was just Mexico, it wouldn't matter. At most, we could send more troops and crush the Mexicans again. But the Central American Syndicalist Federation was not so easy to deal with. Not only was the Central American Syndicalist Federation much larger in territory and depth, but it also had a larger population, and its economic and industrial strengths were also stronger.

The newly born [Central American Syndicalist Federation] was full of hostility towards the United States, blocking the passage of the United States to deploy power to South America, and eyeing the Panama Canal. The current US government no longer had the energy to take care of other things. They had to first ensure their absolute dominance on the American continent.

James shook his head and said, "The Central American Syndicalist Federation is just a pile of loose sand. Our country only needs to give them a slight push and they will collapse."

"Is that so? Then why don't we wait for a while and see if there are any new changes in the situation."

"...Well, the changes in Central America were indeed unexpected, so we have a basis for negotiations."

The Americans learned from the British and are very skilled in using the salami-slicing tactic, but the current situation is not

Allow the US government to continue to delay. [People's Revolutionary League] In 1926, that is, this year, six battleships were started at the same time. If the Australian War continues, the League will have to build an unprecedentedly powerful Pacific Fleet in accordance with the Naval Expansion Act.

On the battlefield in Australia, the Human Innovation Alliance spent more money than the United States and Australia combined. While the fierce fighting was going on on land, the Alliance also had to build up its navy, which greatly affected the Alliance's economic development. However, the Alliance had enough capital, and even if it was hurting people with its own capital, it could still wear down Australia.

The alliance built up its navy, and the US government had to keep up. In addition, the investment in the Australian battlefield also interrupted the upward momentum of the US economy. After the British royal family fled to Canada, the huge country of [Central American Syndicalist Federation] appeared on the American continent, and turmoil also occurred in the United States.

John Jack Reed and the left-wing groups established the "United Grand Guild". This organization, temporarily called the Socialist Party, participated in election activities while secretly developing its own armed forces.

Most left-wing parties and groups merged into the Socialist Party, with only some leaders of the Labor Confederation refusing to join.

Because of the above reasons, the United States and the Alliance negotiated very quickly. The United States was willing to stop confronting the Alliance, and the People's Revolutionary League felt that it could not afford the huge consumption now. The Alliance Navy did not fight with the US Navy, but every escort and patrol consumed a lot of fuel. The main fleet was concentrated near the Banda Sea and the Timor Sea. Building ports and naval fortresses in places such as the South Pacific and Hawaii also required a large amount of funds.

Some comrades in the Central Committee of the League believed that peace should not be made with Australia. The fire in the Americans' backyard was a godsend opportunity, and they could destroy the Australian government in one fell swoop.

If we give Australia a chance to breathe now, it will take more effort to defeat Australia in the future. Rather than fighting another war in the future, it is better to grit our teeth and fight for another year. I don't believe that we can't defeat those stubborn Australian colonists.

This argument is not without reason, but after discussion, the central government rejected the proposal to continue the war. Australia has no industry, and even if some factories are built, the output is not enough to meet the daily consumption of the troops stationed in Australia.

Most of the bullets and artillery shells fired by the front-line troops were transported from the Union homeland, across the ocean and over a distance of 10,000 kilometers. The consumption was several times greater than that in the Boer War.

Because of the Australian war, prices within the alliance have risen by about 4%, and some voices of dissatisfaction have emerged in society.

"The ceasefire is not to nurture trouble, but to consolidate the existing gains. We want to carry out comprehensive construction in Australia, not only to establish a basically complete industrial system, but also to develop agriculture and animal husbandry."

The number of troops stationed in Australia was less than 15, and in addition to weapons, ammunition and fuel, they also needed a lot of food. If the immigrants in various parts of northern Australia were included, the daily consumption of supplies reached 6000 tons, and this was without fighting.

"Time is on our side. The alliance's system is better than that of the United States and Australia. In this case, why can't we stop fighting for a while? In addition, we also need to end the state of war with the British government."

"During the armistice period, the Northern Australian government must develop industry and agriculture."

"........Chairman, Australia lacks fresh water resources and cannot develop heavy industry."

"Is that so? Then we can develop agriculture and animal husbandry... It's hard to develop large-scale mechanized agriculture without water? That kind of vegetable should be fine, right? It would also be good to reduce the pressure on supply."

Chapter 766 India

The Australian War proved that the People's Revolutionary League had the ability to project military force thousands of miles away, but it also proved that the force that the alliance could project thousands of miles away was not strong enough.

The alliance needs more warships, more transport ships and merchant ships, more frigates, and more naval bases. When the British Royal Navy dominated the world, it built many naval bases around the world, which was also part of the strength of the British Royal Navy.

In contrast, the Alliance has not done enough in this regard. Without naval bases all over the world, it is impossible to achieve naval hegemony.

Due to the mediation of the United States, a ceasefire was reached between the Human Innovation Alliance and the Australian government and the United Kingdom. The two sides divided the territory of Australia with the actual control line. In this way, the Alliance occupied 2/3 of Australia's land, and the Australian government only had 1/3 of the land. At the same time, the Australian government needed to pay the Alliance 4 million RMB worth of gold and silver, or machinery and equipment, agricultural products and fish catches to settle the debt.

During the Australian War, which lasted for 17 months, a total of 64000 Australian soldiers were killed or missing, 11.2 were injured, and the population loss was nearly 200 million. As a result, they had to cede territory and pay compensation. The Australian government was quite unconvinced and felt very aggrieved.

However, their biggest financial backer withdrew his investment. Without the guns and food provided by the Americans, the Australian army could not continue to fight. The Australian government originally wanted to achieve the same results as the Boer War. Their strength was stronger than that of the Boers back then. Unfortunately, the alliance was not Britain. The Australian army's guerrilla tactics only achieved some results in the early stage.

After the Allies carried out large-scale immigration to Australia and transported a large number of Mongols, the Australian army could no longer move forward.

Seriously speaking, the Australian army fought very well. Their weapons and equipment were far inferior to those of the Coalition’s troops in Australia, but they were able to hold out for so long and inflict heavy casualties on the Coalition, which was worthy of the investment of the US government.

But a defeat is a defeat. No matter how many ambushes the Australian army launched, they still lost. They could only sign the armistice agreement - or it would be more appropriate to call it a surrender agreement - in humiliation, ceding large tracts of territory to the Human Innovation Alliance.

However, these lands did not originally belong to them. Australian colonists occupied Australia for hundreds of years and are now giving them back. This is just another manifestation of the law of the jungle.

After the United States mediated the Australian War, it also received a temporary suspension of the implementation of the "Navy Expansion Act" in return. The Alliance Navy Department expressed its willingness to convert two of the six battleships started this year into aircraft carriers and slow down the construction speed. Starting next year, the Alliance will not build new battleships for three years, and other cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats, etc. will also be cut.

The New York Times used a front-page headline to publicize this diplomatic victory, claiming that Ambassador James had defended America's rights in the Pacific and prevented the evil People's Revolutionary League's plan to annex Australia.

All in all, the United States wins.

The Alliance also claimed victory, punishing the evil Australian regime and seeking justice for the victims of the massacre.

The war in Australia was over, and the Alliance no longer had to spend millions of dollars a day on military spending in Australia. But things did not end there, and the People's Revolutionary League accelerated the pace of building Australia.

While the Alliance was building Australia, Germany was also constructing military ports and fortresses in Papua New Guinea, apparently in preparation for deploying a naval fleet there.

Germany did not catch up with the good times of the Age of Exploration. By the time they began to colonize overseas, almost all the land under the sun had been divided up by the developed powers. Germany only managed to grab a little bit. Papua New Guinea was one of Germany's few colonies.

Papua New Guinea is located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, bordering Indonesia's Irian Jaya Province to the west and Australia across the Torres Strait to the south. During the World War, it was occupied by Australian troops. After the unconditional armistice, Papua New Guinea was returned to Germany. Now Germany is spending a huge amount of money to build military bases and fortresses in Papua New Guinea, which is obviously not a good intention.

Spain recaptured Gibraltar, Egypt occupied the Suez Canal, and the powerful German High Seas Fleet could sail directly to the Indian Ocean. If Germany completed the construction of naval bases and fortresses in the Pacific Ocean, the German Navy would be able to expand its sphere of influence to the Pacific Ocean.

The World War has ended for ten years, and Germany and the Allies have recovered from the war. However, Germany is still facing the disadvantage of fighting on two fronts. The Anglo-French Alliance in the west (Syndicalist Britain and the French Commune have formed an alliance) and the Human Innovation Alliance in the east are not easy to deal with.

Some German leaders pessimistically believed that the strategic situation of the German Empire was worse than before the World War. In order to break this deadlock, Germany began to actively expand overseas.

The German Empire not only built military bases and fortresses in Papua New Guinea, but also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in India. Taking advantage of the British Revolution, the German Empire sent troops to southwestern India via the Middle East and established the Madras Republic as a puppet regime, which made the situation in India more complicated.

After the Germans' defeat, the League increased its aid to Chandra Bose, and the BJP established the People's Republic of India with Calcutta as its capital.

At the same time, the Indian Dominion retreated to northwest India and was able to maintain its rule; the princes of southern India established a conservative royal princely alliance;

The whole of India was divided into four parts, and four regimes coexisted. There were many contradictions between these four regimes, and there were also various contradictions within them, such as religious issues and caste issues, which were almost unsolvable.
