Chapter 80, The End of White Australia
As the news of the escape of the Australian federal government's top team spread, the last more than 10,000 Allied officers and soldiers abandoned on the battlefield completely collapsed. In an atmosphere of self-destruction, some people began to walk out of the trenches holding white flags and surrender to the Japanese army on the opposite side.
On September 22, the Japanese army discovered that the "enemy chief" had actually escaped on a submarine, and immediately launched another attack regardless of fatigue. At this time, the Allied forces were not only sick, hungry, and short of ammunition, but also had no fighting spirit from top to bottom when they learned that the top commander had abandoned them and fled. Therefore, the "Red Hills" and "Main Ridge" positions of the Allied forces at the front collapsed at the first touch, and the town of Rye at the back only defended it for only half a day before basically announcing that it had changed hands. At this time, the remaining Allied soldiers were injured due to injuries. He was already very skinny and hungry, his hands were shaking when he held the gun, and it was difficult to even aim, all relying on his energy to hold on. When the news of the officer's escape spread, his spirit collapsed and his whole person was basically useless.
On the morning of September 23, a group of Japanese troops landed behind the Allied lines in small boats, successfully broke through the already chaotic Allied positions, and entered the town of Sorrento, where the Allied headquarters was located. Most of the Allied troops At this point, the officers and soldiers completely lost their fighting spirit, dropped their firearms one after another, and raised their hands in surrender listlessly. Only a few hundred U.S. soldiers retreated to the tip of the southwestern peninsula, a hill approximately two square kilometers in size guarding the exit of Philip Bay. They attempted to rely on the solid reinforced concrete fortress on the mountain and the force just sent by the "White Pomfret" submarine. Thirty tons of ammunition and supplies continued to hold on until the last moment.
Due to the steep mountains, strong fortresses, and fierce artillery fire from the defenders, the arrogant and careless Japanese army did suffer a bit at first, and was beaten to death in front of this final stumbling block. But this setback could not really save much of the defeat. Instead, it stimulated the Japanese army to become more aggressive. So, these American warriors waited for the six Yamato-class battleships to bombard each other in turn, and the Japanese bombers to repeatedly baptize from poison gas bombs to incendiary bombs. ……
Late at night on September 24, the fortress's ammunition depot was damaged and detonated by an armor-piercing shell from a Japanese battleship. In an instant, the entire battlefield was shattered and earth-shattering. It was as if a sun appeared in the dark night, and a bright burning mushroom cloud slowly rose in the night sky. rising. Even from the other side of Philip Bay, you can see it clearly. At the same time, the ground for several kilometers was shaking violently like an earthquake. Smoke and dust covered the sky in mid-air, debris flew across the sky, and various pieces of iron, gravel and blackened corpses were lifted into the air and thrown into the sea... After this earth-shattering explosion, the resistance of the remaining Allied forces finally ended, and Australia The last Allied battle flag on the mainland battlefield withered in the fire, like the final end of a nightmare.
But in fact, for the white residents of the Australian Federation, their misfortune is far from over...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A fierce, bloody and arduous battle was finally over.
Looking at the last tattered Stars and Stripes flag on the distant hills, falling in the sea breeze, Lieutenant General Tsuji Masanobu couldn't help but let out a long breath.
——Although due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the outcome of the war was almost determined from the beginning, the tenacity and tenacity displayed by these "American and British ghosts" in desperate situations still surprised him. Even though the Japanese army had advantages in strength and firepower, it was not easy to end such a brutal battle in such a short period of time. The hardships involved were no less than the Battle of Lushun during the Russo-Japanese War.
At the end of the day, facing the dawn of victory, Lieutenant General Tsuji Masanobu did not feel much lofty ideals. He only felt that he was exhausted, tired, and miserable. Every nerve ending and brain cell was numb, and even The little energy he had to cheer was gone. So, he jumped out of the car, sat on a stone next to the road, lit himself a cigarette, looked at the rising sun on the horizon, thinking about nothing, just resting motionless.
Shortly after sunrise, the weather became gloomy again, and a few raindrops began to fall. The cool rain awakened Tsuji Masanobu from his paralysis due to excessive fatigue. He put out the cigarette butt, turned around, and once again looked at the land that had just changed its owner.
The exquisite Victorian-style houses in the town of Sorrento have been baptized many times by Japanese bombers and naval guns in recent days, and have long since become devastated. Many wooden houses were burned down to only a few blackened wooden piles. More than half of the concrete buildings are riddled with holes, like honeycombs, and are crumbling. But even so, it is still possible to vaguely see how enviable prosperity and beauty this European-style town in the southern hemisphere once had. It is hard to imagine that this land is so far away from Europe. Especially those typical British-style red brick houses, Tsuji Masanobu couldn't help but think of the Navy Ministry Building in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, known as the "Red Tile"...
Although the town of Sorrento was devastated by the war and was covered with rubble, and even experienced a gas war, many people still survived in this purgatory ruins - just at the end of the headland where the Allied forces were When the last resistance was shattered, some ghostly figures were also scolded by the Japanese soldiers. Like burrowing prairie dogs, they emerged from the ruins with trembling and unkempt appearance.
A small number of them were defeated Allied soldiers, but the vast majority were white Australian women and children. Their clothes were torn into strips, dirty and torn, and could barely cover their bodies. You can see the old woman's shriveled and sagging breasts and bony back, and you can also see the young woman's round shoulders and tall, firm breasts. Some children were sucking milk or crying softly. At first glance, there were at least hundreds, maybe even thousands.
Seeing these half-clothed women and children emerging from the ruins, the Japanese soldiers onlookers couldn't help laughing ambiguously, or made various obscene gestures, or even whistled for a long time. ...Obviously, some of these white women will soon appear in the Japanese military's comfort stations, and the "meritorious officials" present will patronize their flesh and blood business...
However, precisely because of this, these Japanese soldiers have a pretty good attitude towards Australian women and their words are relatively gentle. Some of the soldiers even took out the leftover biscuits and rice balls and threw them to these half-starved white women and children. For some reason, the Japanese army's supplies recently were unusually abundant, even to the point of extravagance and waste. This made many women breathe a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that these yellow-skinned dwarfs are not so bad after all.
However, if the Japanese army treated Australian women somewhat politely, then they treated the surrendered Allied soldiers with no dignity at all - groups of prisoners of war had just been driven to an open field, and the Japanese soldiers escorting them They couldn't wait to search for their belongings, sweeping away blankets, watches, jewelry, blades, tableware, food and even toothbrushes belonging to the Allied prisoners. If anyone dared to resist even a little bit, he would be grabbed by his hands and feet, thrown to the ground, and then beaten with sticks and punches. If a prisoner of war has a pistol or dagger hidden on his body and is found by the Japanese army, he will at least be hit with a gun butt until his face is bloody. If he is unlucky, he may even be stabbed directly with a bayonet. die.
After the body search, the Allied soldiers received a very small amount of food and water. Each person's portion was probably just enough to make a little mouse's belly round... After a while, three ships were spitting out billowing black smoke. The small steamer slowly docked at the dock of Sorrento Town, which had just been repaired by Japanese engineers. Some scorch marks and bullet holes could still be seen on the hull - these were Australian ships captured by the Japanese army in nearby ports.
As three small steamers arrived one after another, the white Australian women and children were escorted onto the ship one after another, preparing to be transported across the sea back to the urban area of Melbourne where they had just escaped not long ago, and then further processing would be carried out. However, the passenger capacity of the three small steamers is limited, and the combined displacement of the three ships is less than 2,000 tons. Therefore, based on the international principle of ladies first, those captured Allied officers and soldiers did not have the option to travel by boat. Good luck - according to the arrangements of the Japanese military staff, these have been The sick, hungry and exhausted captive soldiers will be driven back to Melbourne on foot like a herd of cattle under the bayonets of the guards along the coastal road surrounding Philip Bay. However, they are already extremely weak and even reach the point where the wind blows To the extent that it falls...
As a result, the transfer of these ragged and hungry prisoners of war turned into a death march with a total mileage of more than 80 kilometers - the vast majority of Japanese soldiers abided by the barbaric spirit of Bushido and were treated mercilessly With these "white-skinned ghosts", brutal behavior was commonplace in this process. The prisoners who disobeyed were hacked with knives. The stragglers were all beaten inhumanely. Some Japanese soldiers even used sticks to hit prisoners on the head for fun. . Prisoners who were dying of illness and malnutrition were abandoned on the side of the road. Those who fell to the ground were buried alive by their companions at gunpoint. If anyone refused to cooperate or even dared to resist, the bestial Japanese soldiers would stab them to death with bayonets.
So, in the cold winter rain falling from the sky, tens of thousands of allied officers and soldiers in ragged clothes and soaked to the skin, trembling with their arms folded, walked back to Melbourne city. The tragic journey to the area - the road leading to the north was pockmarked by artillery fire and bombs, and the trenches beside the road were littered with abandoned equipment, burned-out trucks, gun mounts and rifles. The prisoners were forced to drag heavy footsteps around these messy obstacles. The wounded who were missing their legs could only use branches as crutches and struggle forward while dragging loose bandages. The entire road, which stretched for fifty or sixty kilometers, became a long cemetery where these sick and hungry ghosts were buried. The ditches along the road were quickly filled with corpses and dying people.
However, any prisoner of war who can stagger on this marching road, no matter whether he can finally reach the end point of the prisoner of war camp, is not the most unlucky. Even more tragic were those who fell at the starting point of the march - Lieutenant General Tsuji Masanobu saw with his own eyes a scrawny Australian officer with a red face and eyes like burning coals, who was obviously suffering from a high fever. After only a few steps in the town of Sorrento, he staggered and fell to the ground, coughing heartbreakingly, but couldn't stand up. A Japanese soldier escorting him came up and kicked him in the chest repeatedly. The Australian officer struggled to get up and stretched out his hand to plead with the Japanese soldier, but the latter just pointed the tip of the bayonet at his neck and killed him with one blow.
Not far away, two unkempt Australian civilians, who seemed to be drafted coolies on the spot, were forced by the Japanese with bayonets to dig a pit and carried a U.S. captain with a serious infectious disease into the pit. . Unexpectedly, at the moment when he fell into the pit, the captain suddenly started struggling desperately, trying to escape from his tomb. The Japanese soldiers ordered the two Australians to use shovels to beat the struggling captain back. They refused at first, but it was not until the Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at them that they reluctantly swung the shovels and beat the captain into a pit. Buried alive like this... Perhaps it was because the soil was not compacted. After a long time, you could still see a hand hanging out of the grave, desperately grabbing at the air.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Lieutenant General Tsuji Masanobu, who was known as the "Jackal Colonel" in the past, turned a blind eye to this while holding a cigarette in his mouth - he was never a merciful person who could pity the enemy. When he massacred American prisoners of war in the Philippines, he had a share of the credit. . Moreover, Lieutenant General Tsuji Masanobu also had his own logic for this inhumane atrocity: Why were white animals in the United States and Britain able to kill people of color like vermin, but they were not allowed to kill them in reverse? You know, the first batch of criminal immigrants who were exiled to Australia by the British Empire killed more than 80% of Australia's indigenous people in just twenty years, and the people on Tasmania were The indigenous people were killed to death, and finally they used bloody butcher knives to dye the land half a world away from the island of Great Britain white. What the Japanese army is doing now is just to learn from the traditional experience of the British, tit for tat, and replace it with people of color to kill all the noble white people like them, and once again change the racial structure of Australian residents...
Since European and American white people can confidently eliminate the aboriginal people in America and Australia and replace them with other species, why can't the Japanese nation follow the same example?
However, despite this, out of the most basic curiosity, he stopped a staff officer responsible for directing the transportation of prisoners of war and asked in Japanese where the prisoners of war were to be transported. Then I learned that General Yamashita Fengfumi had ordered that all Allied prisoners of war be taken to the mines in Western Australia.
"...The mines in Western Australia? Do you want them to go down into the mine? This is not a good idea! I have seen such a scene in Western Australia!"
Tsuji Masanobu frowned and shook his head, "...even though these white people seem to be quite tall, they are actually lazy, inefficient, and have a huge appetite. If they were allowed to mine, they would probably eat more than The daily food rations for the Imperial Army soldiers are even larger, and the ore dug out But it is less than the thinnest North Korean laborer... In addition, these guys also like to go on strike every three days to make troubles and ask for more rations and rest. They really don't care about life and death - instead of raising these stupid white people who are lazy and eat well, Might as well collect workers from North Korea and China!”
"...Indeed, Your Excellency. In fact, in the past few years, we have been using Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans to replace stupid American and British white animals. But last month, the Australian Front Command A group of China Eighth Route Army came... er, no, it was the diplomacy of the Chinese Red Army Officer, it was arranged by the Communist International to come to Australia to establish a consulate. As a result, as soon as this group of people arrived in Australia, they found the commander, General Yamashita, to protest, demanding that we release the Chinese workers who had been conscripted to Australia one after another, so that they could go home, or at least protect them. fundamental rights.
Then, representatives of the Soviet Union also supported them, saying that since the red regimes of China and Japan had negotiated and formed an alliance, citizens of friendly countries should not continue to do hard labor without pay. At the very least, the workers should be paid and all the work they had done before would be required. To compensate... Your Excellency, as you know, the situation is stronger than the people now, and the Combined Fleet Command of Truk Fort also supports this view, so Admiral Yamashita had to hold his nose and agreed. ”
The staff officer explained, "... after the fact, after statistics, even if they were offered very generous wages, less than half of the Chinese workers were still willing to stay in the mines. And after so many people left, it appeared that We can only count on these American and British prisoners of war to fill the labor gap.”
"...So that's it...it seems like there's no other way. I have to stuff them into the mines to use their surplus value. Let's just waste a little bit of food...Now the government has changed its sign and needs to be more careful about its work. Decent, we can no longer execute prisoners en masse casually.”
Lieutenant General Tsuji Masanobu sighed, "...What's next? Have all the Chinese workers who left their jobs returned home on the return immigration ship?"
"...No, only a small number of people went back. The rest took the fields given to them by the command and settled in Australia."
"...What? Are we going to give them land? Why should we give them the land that the imperial army fought with blood and sweat?" Tsuji Masanobu asked in surprise.
“…Because we encountered a little trouble when settling their salaries, many Chinese workers refused to accept banknotes. At present, all kinds of domestic consumer goods are completely rationed. Whether it is military stamps or Japanese yen, they can buy any goods. If you don’t come, God knows when it will be until market trading can resume again. Easy. And if it were given in kind, the headquarters wouldn't be able to give much... So the Commander came up with a compensation plan for allocating land. Anyway, Australia has a large territory and a small population, and the wild land is barren. It’s also useless, it’s better to send it away...”
The staff officer replied, "...please rest assured, the headquarters allocates to the Chinese low-grade dry fields in Darwin Port, the Gulf of Carpantaria and Cape York Peninsula, as well as some semi-arid pastures on the edge of the desert." . You also know that there is a desert just a few steps away from the coastline. The big cities are also separated by thousands of kilometers of no-man's land. No matter how much land was given to each person, no one would want to live there. Now it can be used to frustrate the Chinese. As for the banks of the Darling and Murray rivers. All the good water and land are reserved for our fellow immigrants!”
"...Understood." Masanobu Tsuji nodded, "...So what about these captured white women? How do the superiors plan to relocate them?"
"...The plan is to take them to Melbourne and let the madams from several comfort stations on the Australian frontline come to screen them. First, they will pick out the women suffering from infectious diseases and leucorrhea, and then the beautiful white women will go into the comfort stations. The not-so-pretty ones will be sent to the comfort stations. White women were assigned as wives to Chinese laborers who came out of the mines...what? What should we do about the immigrants in our country? You are so worried! Our country has been fighting for so many years, and many young and strong men have been killed and injured. Now there are more women than men in the country. How can a young man be matched with a car full of girls? If you do it again, find a white woman to marry?..."
"...Well, although it sounds reasonable and logical, I still feel like I'm at a bit of a disadvantage this time..."
……
At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in the waters of the Solomon Islands, on a towering ship like a floating city, classmate Wang Qiu, who was wearing beach shorts and a sweat vest and lying on the deck to bask in the sun, watched [Travel The latest score progress displayed on the book], and I breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
——[Successfully changed the racial attributes of Australia, turning 'White Australia' into 'Yellow Australia', and obtained 20,000 reward points]..."...Well, the speed at which the reward points are received is pretty good, but it takes three hundred. Ten thousand points... No, Sophie eroded a few more ships later, and now she needs The enough points to escape have increased to 3.2 million, but there is still a long way to go!" He raised a large glass of juice cocktail beside him, took a sip, and sighed quietly, "...Look. Get up, we really can only fight another World War III..."
