"The Americans are not slow to act! However, there are still fewer landing forces like this." Meng Xiang sneered.

The Americans' actions were not hidden from Meng Xiang. When Nimitz's combat plan was just approved, Meng Xiang had already obtained specific information about the US offensive.

There are a total of about 400,000 US troops in land, sea and air, which is the largest force that the Americans gather in New Zealand.

The war situation between Europe and North Africa still influenced the Americans.

The British have always controlled the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, which has blocked the Germans' access to the Mediterranean, making the Germans' actions in the Mediterranean with the help of the Italians and the Spaniards. But these two countries also resisted the Germans' entry into the Mediterranean, making the German fleet very small in the Mediterranean, and only the submarine forces are still relatively strong.

When the Allies attacked Tunisia and pointed directly at Sicily, the Italians seemed to have relaxed their resistance to the Germans. But at this time, the Germans no longer needed the Italians to open the Internet.

They got what they wanted in Toulon, France.

The Germans suddenly occupied part of the remaining territory of France, making the confused French even more disappointed with the future. In the French port in Toulon, the French Navy refused to recruit the Allied forces, and also refused the recruitment of the Germans and the puppet government, and finally chose to silence themselves.

But at this time, there was a slight change. Darlang, the French Vichy government's defense minister, did not fall into the hands of the Allied forces in North Africa, but was detained by the Germans who rushed into Vichy.

The supreme commander of the French Navy made a very controversial figure, but whether it was a hero or a traitor, his development and control of the French Navy was unquestionable. Seeing that the warships accumulated by the French Navy were to be destroyed and even extinguished the hope of future naval revival, he hesitated for a moment.

This hesitation won a relatively good trophy for the Germans. When the Germans controlled the Port of Toulon, France, at least half of the more than 80 warships docked there were retained. Among them, there were Strasbourg, which fled France to report the news when Britain and France were in trouble, and the first ship of its sister Dunkirk-class battlecruiser. The most conspicuous one was the French's proud battleship Richelieu.

After avoiding British bombing in Dakar, it was eventually recalled by the French to Toulon due to damage. This time it became the biggest spoil for the Germans.

The Germans sent their own naval forces to receive these main warships, and soon formed a fleet that threatened the Mediterranean Allied forces.

German submarines and Scharnhorst warships also came to the Azores and Madeira Islands to engage in activities, making it easier for Americans to reinforcements.

This series of actions made the Allied forces' operations in Tunisia and Libya difficult. Even if the Americans had sent 600,000 expeditionary forces to North Africa, they still did not meet the initial goals of the torch plan.

The German-Italy coalition forces were filled with 750,000 German-Italy coalition forces into the battlefields of Tunisia and Libya, and the 300,000 Commonwealth troops were added to the battlefields of Tunisia and Libya.

In the first phase of the North African War that lasted for nearly half a year, Eisenhower, who brought Patton and Montgomery, temporarily tied a draw.

But the North African war was fierce and the pattern of meat mincing farms has been formed.

In the past six months, the number of casualties of the US military has exceeded 200,000. If it weren't for the continued replenishment, I'm afraid the US military would have left the house long ago.

The battle on the Isle of Great Britain was even more intense. Even though the British were mainly participating in the war, the US troops there also damaged 70,000 people.

Such a large casualty also caused noise in the Americans. However, for the final victory, Roosevelt still persisted and tried to open up the situation in Europe.

On the Eastern Front, with the crazy Soviets going crazy, the Germans suffered heavy losses.

Although the two sides were still in a confrontation, nearly ten million corpses fell on the front lines of each side.

Although the damage of more than 8 million for the Soviets was not an exaggeration, the damage of 1.6 million for the Germans on the Eastern Front was also unbearable for the Germans.

In addition, the Germans suffered more than one million damage in North Africa and the Great Britain. The Americans still saw hope.

At this time, all European countries were already hurt.

Only by continuing to raise bets or even increasing investment can Americans gain the best benefits when unveiling.

In Europe for 43 years, the sparks of war burst out far more brilliantly than Asia. This has made the Americans still focus on Europe where they can gain greater benefits, rather than Australia where only wool, wheat and vast wastelands.

Americans' ambitions for land are far less eager than their pursuit of European wealth.

As a result, the new round of military dispatch plans adopted by the senior US executives, Europe and North Africa once again received 800,000 reinforcements, while Australia only received 200,000.

Even more than half of the American naval power was transferred to Europe to help the British continue to fight against the powerful German navy's attacks near Great Britain.

However, the half of the naval forces dispatched to the Pacific have become the reliance of the US military in Australia's operations.

With the large number of American ships being put into service, the British and American navies have now tied for the fight against Germany, Italy and the Japanese navies.

Currently, only half of the US Navy's strength is unable to defeat the Japanese Navy. However, it already has capital to compete, especially this time Nimitz has drawn most of the strength to fight against Japan's South Pacific Fleet in Australia, and the Americans are full of confidence.

However, in addition to 100,000 naval and air forces, it is still difficult for the remaining less than 300,000 troops to successfully land in the southeastern region of Australia where heavy troops gather.

In order to counterattack the Chinese army, with continuous support, the total number of Japanese troops hiding in southeastern Australia exceeded 500,000, including some elite troops. Even if most of the main forces were transferred to the front line, the remaining warning coastline was left, and the number of Japanese troops who were worried that the Chinese army would raid would be 150,000.

"It seems that the Japanese army does not have much force to defend the coastline, and just creating difficulties for the Americans is not enough!" Meng Xiang pondered while pinching his chin.

This time, the US Navy gathered eight aircraft carriers in New Zealand and Western Samoa. The size of the three battleships can definitely overwhelm the three battleships stationed in southeastern Australia and the naval power of the three aircraft carriers. If they are involved, the Americans may be able to successfully land on the island in the end. This is obviously something Meng Xiang doesn't want to see.

Obviously, the Japanese are even more reluctant to see it.

Skynet's intelligence once again allowed the Japanese to get the news in time.

The Japanese fleet, which was responsible for blocking Chinese ships in Southeast Asia, immediately sent back a support fleet composed of two Yamato-class battleships and three aircraft carriers, and secretly suspended the army's attack on the Chinese army and increased the defense of the coastline.

Although the Americans did not notice that the Japanese army's strength on the southeast coastline of Australia increased to 200,000, they received news that the Japanese support fleet was returning quickly.

Realizing that the situation had changed, Nimitz decided to advance the plan and instead of waiting for the Chinese and Japanese to fall into a stalemate on the front line, he launched an attack on the same day as the Japanese.

At 4 a.m. on the 23rd, the Japanese, who had to fire the arrow on the string, could not help but launch a counterattack against the Chinese army after hesitating for a long time.

However, the purpose of this counterattack has changed a lot. It is no longer the clamor of many people that allowed the Chinese to taste a painful lesson, but instead put the consumption of Chinese materials in the most important position, no longer the counterattack with a large span and a deeper range, but instead use the fortifications on the front line to drag down the Chinese army.

On the other hand, it is to concentrate its forces to prevent the Americans' surprise attack, and some people even advocate a counterattack against the Americans, adding some weight to the negotiations at the future negotiating table.

Obviously, with the Japanese's strength in Australia at this time, the Americans could not easily surrender, and they thought of negotiating.

After hearing the Japanese attacked China as scheduled and confirmed that the news that they bought from Skynet was indeed true, they directly chose to start the war.

At 4:15 a.m. on the 23rd, the main force of the two battleships and three aircraft carriers of the long-awaited US Navy began to set off from Pagopago.

At around 6 a.m., the US Navy's USS Alaska Montana-class battleship stationed in New Zealand and six aircraft carriers were also dispatched together, crossing the Tasman Sea and attacking Sydney.

At 8:21 a.m., the US Navy's Enterprise aircraft carrier discovered the Nagamon-class battleship Kamo, which was cruising 120 nautical miles away from Sydney. After only 20 minutes, the three aircraft carriers that had been waiting for launched the first round of attacks.

The Japanese Navy, which had already received the news, immediately retreated to the recovery, striving to rely on the coast's defense line, and delayed until reinforcements arrived.

Although the Bomo did not escape in the end and was beaten to death by the US torpedo and bomber group, the US Navy's achievements that day were limited to this. In the final battle, it did not wipe out the main force of Japanese warships in Australia and cleared the obstacles to landing. Hundreds of landing ships carrying 250,000 people from major ports in New Zealand could only continue to wait at the Tasman Sea or return to the port, waiting for the US Navy and Air Force to clear a safe landing channel for them.
