"Thank God, those Japanese have never appeared!" James Porter couldn't help but feel relieved as he saw the shadow of New Zealand's land appeared in front of him.

Almost all Australian refugees prayed along the way, and it seemed that they finally worked. The Japanese warships did not appear.

Under the escort of American warships, they smoothly crossed the Tasman Sea and arrived in New Zealand.

The Japanese fleet suffered a considerable damage this time. The forward base near Australia has berthing and occasional replenishment, but repairs are difficult to do, unlike the Americans who can rest and recuperate with the port of Melbourne. The Americans are very attentive to transport civilian ships this time, and there are many warships escorting. With their aircraft carrier advantages, even if the Japanese attack, they cannot make much cheaper.

Perhaps the fineness and softness carried by those civilians may be very oily, but compared with the entire Australian continent, it can be said to be insignificant.

Once the Japanese strengthen the interception, the Australians will shrink from Melbourne, which will increase the difficulty of unifying the entire Australian continent.

As for the Australian treasury wealth, it must have been moved to a large American warship and could not be stopped easily.

Perhaps they could intercept the treasury ships that transported gold and silver, but they might not get it, and they might also fall into the trap of the Americans. Although the Japanese were jealous, they still swallowed their saliva for the final strategic purpose.

But after Meng Xiang found out the detailed news that Australians were going to transport 500 tons of gold, he couldn't help it.

The 300 tons of gold shipped this time were not only from the treasury, but also from some wealthy merchants.

Australia has really accumulated some inventory through wool and food, and the once popular gold rush in Australia also saved a lot of gold. In 2003, Australia ranked first in the world with an annual output of 119 tons. Even after South Africa's gold production squeezed its position, it was still one of the main production areas of gold production in the Commonwealth, and it continued until the end of World War II before it declined a little.

It is not uncommon to make up five hundred tons of gold at once.

The Japanese don’t know the specific number, and they can still bear it. However, Meng Xiang, who had inquired carefully, was a little addicted to robbing.

The Dutch, Belgium, France, and the British treasury were all robbed by Meng Xiang while transporting it at sea. The Soviet treasury was also robbed by Meng Xiang and Natasha and others during transportation on land. Thinking about the heavy actions of Australia towards China in later generations, Meng Xiang's idea of ​​robbery emerged again.

It was the most difficult to rob the Soviets. It was difficult to go deep into the inland and evacuate. Moreover, the spirit of fighting to the end of the Soviets to protect the treasury property has increased the difficulty.

In other countries, few people resisted until the last person. As long as the threat of death hits their heads, they can usually succeed.

The people who are lucky to the United States, Britain and Australia this time are not the kind of people who sacrifice their lives and money.

When Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, he only took away 20 tons of gold. It is said that when the new dynasty was first established in later generations, the gold in the treasury was only 0.187 tons, so the fruits of labor were used as the basis for monetary credit.

With continuous transactions and purchasing machine technology, especially large-scale purchases from Americans, smashing the door with hard currency, the total amount of gold held in Meng Xiang's hand sharply dropped to 1,237 tons, in order to cope with the next step of issuance of paper money. Five hundred tons of gold is enough to make Meng Xiang's wallet lose its sagging adventure.

Besides, letting the Americans evacuate so smoothly and allowing the Japanese to easily succeed in Australia. This is not Meng Xiang’s plan.

The overall situation in Australia has been decided when Americans are unable to provide more assistance in a short period of time.

News has been heard in the United States that with the foundation for this Bass Battle, we can evacuate.

While rebuilding the facilities in Hawaii, they planned to stay in New Zealand like Europe and wait for a good opportunity.

Under such circumstances, Meng Xiangba could not fight the last tragic battle between the Allies and the Japanese, and weaken the strength of the United States and Japan.

So Meng Xiang issued another robbery order without hesitation.

...

"It seems that the Japanese will not come!" Turnerson held up his telescope and watched around, but the surroundings were still calm.

The civilians have been transported continuously for five days, but the Japanese have not been moved.

At first, the Americans specially sent a fake news to transport the national treasury, and their plan to ambush the Japanese was also failed.

After two failed tests, the Australians finally transported away the most important part of the treasury on the sixth day.

The Vichita heavy cruiser, completed in 1939, is the last US Treaty heavy cruiser. It is a type of ship that transitions to the Baltimore class and has excellent performance. When the injured Hawaii cannot be dispatched and Baltimore has not yet disembarked, in addition to the aircraft carrier, it is already the strongest warship with the last armor and the largest naval gun. This time, 300 tons of gold was carried on this main battleship. In addition, there are more than 200 tons of silver and other valuables.

It and an escort formation composed of 1 light patrol, 4 destroyers and the USS Lexington aircraft carrier escorted more than 70 civilian ships of all sizes and transported some civilians away.

"I heard that the Japanese will not attack us anymore." Navy Sergeant Lockein next to him whispered.

"Um?"

"The Australian government signed a ceasefire agreement with the Japanese in private, but the Japanese did not agree. It seemed that they had to seize the entire Australian continent. However, they allowed civilians to leave freely, so there was no attack from the Japanese..." Locke was showing off the news that was circulating among the refugees, but before he could finish his speech, he screamed interrupting the ending of his tone that had been dragged out.

"torpedo!"

More than a dozen water lines that were rushing up by white waves at the same time rushed towards the Vichita. The dense attacks within a thousand meters made the Vichita, which was slowly following the civilian craft, unable to escape.

Sharp enemy attack sirens were heard on nearby ships one after another, but these were completely submerged by a loud bang.

"Boom boom boom boom!" The Wichita, who had never expected a submarine to lurk at close range, was hit by four torpedoes in a row and began to sink.

The entire fleet, shrouded in death, began to become in chaos.

I thought the Japanese would not appear, but I didn't expect that a submarine had concealed the scanning of the sonar in front of the ship, concealed the cruise of the air reconnaissance planes, and launched an attack near them. This was almost unimaginable in the wars of this era.

The roar of the aircraft engine was getting closer and closer, and the warplanes guarded around came over to pursue the traces of the submarine.

"On there!" On the ship, you can easily find a periscope with a submarine extending out from the left and right sides of the fleet, but it is a bit far away.

Some people later suspected that there were more than two submarines attacking.

But he was right about the guess. Meng Xiang dispatched a total of 6 submarines this time, and they were all second-class Red Alert Attack Submarines.

The base's Red Alert submarine weapons can be produced very early, but this type of submarine is not as good as a German submarine before the second-level, and it also requires a relatively valuable intelligent brain control point.

Red-aler warships, especially large warships or submarines, are different from Red-aler warships. Even if they are manually operated, they need to consume a valuable intelligent brain management star value. Before, Meng Xiang had no intention of producing at all, and only used the quota on aircraft carriers and battleships.

However, with the increase in sub-bases and the upgrade of bases, these management star values ​​are no longer too short. Meng Xiang has produced 6 Red Alert Submarines to try it out.

In order to keep this robbery, all these submarines were dispatched.

Because such actions do not require exposing the secrets of missiles, Meng Xiang chose the second-class Red Alert submarine. The third-class submarine is mainly based on missile attacks, but it is not as convenient as the second-class submarine.

The second-class is probably equivalent to the conventional submarines in the post-war 1950s. It is somewhat similar to the famous W-type submarines in the Soviet Union, but its performance is much stronger.

This time, except for these two ships who were slightly far away from outside to support the investigation and attract firepower, the other four ships sent out the torpedoes and dived in an emergency.

Two fearless dive bombers rushed towards them. Even though they were responsible for reconnaissance and alert tasks, they still dived and started to strafuse with a 12.7mm machine gun.

Due to the sudden attack, the Americans responded slowly, and the panic of the civilian ships, even in order to avoid the panic impact of several civilian ships sent by Meng Xiang, blocked their ability to take further action.

When bombers began to take off on the deck of the Lexington, which was also attacked and suffered a torpedo in the back, and the two nearby destroyers also began to aim their muzzles here, the two submarines had already dived rapidly.

Deep water bombs on the sea kept bringing up water columns that soared into the sky, but they could no longer affect the two second-class Red Alert submarines that had dived below 200 meters. The other four second-class submarines secretly stayed at the bottom of the sea under the cover of some civilian ships.

Their mission has been completed, and the most violent blow directly made the Vichita sink. It was so fast that it could not even move out the gold. The sailors were busy running for their lives, so who cares about this?

The Americans, Australians and British could only watch the ship of wealth sink into the sea with the explosion of flames.
