At this point, the problem is already very obvious.

Although South Africa announced strict civil exchanges after the Naval Battle of the Maldives, South Africa's non-South Africa still favors the United States. This is easy to understand. The United States still controls Australia and controls the entire Western Africa except Nigeria. It also controls the entire Latin America except Argentina. Even if the Republic gains access to South Africa by controlling Seychelles and Madagascar, it poses a channel to South Africa. The threat to South Africa is not as good as the United States. As the saying goes, the two evils are the least. When threatened by two or superpowers, South Africa has no choice but to act according to the opportunity.

This is the problem? How can South Africa change its mind?

The answer is simple, that is, to decide the winner in the southwestern Pacific. If necessary, appropriate actions can be taken on the African continent, such as sending troops to Chad, opening up ground passages from Sudan to Nigeria, and deploying an elite ground force to Nigeria to disintegrate the US encirclement and suppression of Nigeria. In short, the key is not on the African continent, but on Australia opposite the Indian Ocean.

Now, the problem returns to the starting point, that is, before winning the Southwest Pacific, everything else is hands-free.

The problem is that "the resettlement of the army officers and soldiers cannot be put on hold for a long time.

The Russian War has ended. Even if Li Dongshi immediately launched a strategic offensive on the Middle East battlefield, he could not absorb so many troops. On the African continent, a logistics support line across the African continent supported by a highway and a low-level highway line, which can be supported at most. It can be seen that winning in the Southwest Pacific is imminent.

That's why Pei Chengyi only gave the Navy a month.

Although giving up landing in Australia will have an impact on victory in the Southwest Pacific, it is well known that in the marine battlefield, sea control determines everything. As long as the Republic's navy can seize sea control, it can block Australia and prevent the US Navy from entering the Indian Ocean from Australia. This will make South Africa feel the pressure. Coupled with the Republic's strategic offensive actions on the battlefields of the Middle East and African continents, as well as the efforts of the Republic's diplomatic department, it is enough to convince South Africa that the Republic will not only win the final victory, but the war will end soon. If South Africa still favors the United States on its stance, let alone gain benefits from the war, it would be a blessing not to be marginalized after the war.

In fact, in the middle of the month, that is, after Russia announced its defeat, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic launched an action in South Africa.

At that time, the attitude of the South African authorities had been shaken.

Not to mention anything else. On the lunar month, the South African authorities made an exception to agree that a fleet of ships transporting food, medicines, tents and other humanitarian aid supplies entering Port Elizabeth, and sent warships to provide escort cover in the territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. The fleet comes from the Republic and its destination is Nigeria. Among the materials transported, in addition to the humanitarian aid supplies mentioned above, many of them are specially provided to the Nigerian army. In fact,

Materials such as food and medicine are also military supplies. More importantly, the South African authorities did not disclose to the media that they also moved attack submarines from the Republic's Navy, which was specifically escorted to this slow fleet, into the South African waters, and brought them to the south for hours outside Port Elizabeth, and then followed the fleet to the north. Although South Africa did not provide assistance to the submarines, it allowed the ships of the belligerent countries to enter the territorial waters. It also provided convenient conditions for military operations, which had damaged South Africa.

The US authorities strongly protested against South Africa's behavior. The problem is that the US can only protest. Even Australia is almost unable to save it, the US authorities have no way to suppress South Africa, and it is even more impossible to make a big fight for this distant country.

In short, at the beginning, although the overall situation on the battlefield was very beneficial to the Republic, which not only grasped the strategic initiative, but also saw the dawn of victory after Russia surrendered, but before winning, there were still many ways to go and there were many challenges on the road ahead. For the Republic authorities, the most urgent thing was how to make full use of the national war power that had been mobilized to allow the largest war machine in mankind to operate normally. For the Republican army, the most important thing was to open up the situation, connect the originally relatively isolated battlefield, and gradually transform strategic advantages and initiative into the fruits of victory.

To this end, on February 2019, Tian, ​​he traveled to the eastern waters of the Coral Sea in the northwest of New Oridonia for Lidoday's first main fleet, the second main fleet and the third fleet formed a large fleet group. Under the guidance of the dawn of the morning, he headed south from the east of the Noahti Islands. The route directly pointed to New Zealand. At the same time, the four maritime bases operating in the north also scattered southward and followed the fleet toward the Tasman Sea.

On the sea facing Ran, the U.S. Navy Third Fleet sounded the battle alarm.
