The three countries controlled by France alone, with just Texas having a population of over 6 million. The population of the Southern Coastline Federal Republic is about over 8 million, and the Florida Confederated Republic has a population exceeding 12 million.
Together, these three small nations had a combined population of over 26 million, and they could supply a military force of over 2 million personnel.
The war in Europe had intensified, and over these past few months, the war in the Pacific Ocean had also seen significant changes.
By the end of July, Australasia had already fully occupied the Ryukyu Islands. Even in early August, a military airfield temporarily constructed there had already launched several airplanes, which repeatedly bombed the Island Nation’s native land.
Then, throughout the entire month of August, the main objective of the Australasia Army was to occupy all the islands in the Pacific Ocean belonging to the Island Nation, including Iwo Jima, Saipan, and Marcus Island, among others.
This allowed Australasia to virtually occupy all the islands and archipelagos within the range of the Pacific Ocean, truly dominating the entire ocean.
Currently, the only islands in the Pacific Ocean not affiliated with Australasia are two: Pitcairn Islands in the southeastern part of the Pacific and the Galápagos Islands belonging to Ecuador in the eastern Pacific.
After occupying all the islands and archipelagos of the Island Nation in the Pacific Ocean, Australasia did not rush to attack. Instead, like Germany and Britain, it engaged in aerial games with the Islanders.
The airstrikes by Australasia on the Island Nation were done openly, always boldly heading towards the Island Nation’s native land.
When waiting for the Island Royal Air Force to come intercept, they boldly fought an air battle with the Islanders. With a variety of weapons and missiles, the Island Nation was basically decimated in air combat.
After the disastrous defeat of the Island Royal Air Force, Australasia began to heavily bomb the urban cities of the Island Nation’s native land, then performed a few aerobatic maneuvers in the sky to mock the Islanders before returning.
This scenario had occurred several times on the Island Nation’s native land, aimed at tormenting the Islanders.
Australasia was well aware that this gave the Islanders time to hide in air-raid shelters, yet they still waited every time for the Island Royal Air Force to come, aiming to destroy all Islanders’ confidence in the war.
The time given to the Island Royal Air Force was never enough to defeat the Australasian Air Force. It was always the same outcome followed by the humiliation faced from the Australasian Air Force, and the torment it caused the Island Royal Air Force needs no further mention.
It is worth noting that what Australasia did inadvertently hit the mark. The Island Royal Air Force faced humiliation, but the problem was, the Island Nation didn’t have an officially organized air force.
The Island Royal Air Force was scattered under the army and navy, known respectively as the Army Air Squadron and the Naval Air Squadron.

Humiliated by the Australasian Air Force in this way, the Naval Air Squadron and the Army Air Squadron showed no signs of uniting; instead, they blamed each other at various military and cabinet meetings.
The Island Nation Army stated that it was due to the navy’s timidity that the Island Nation faced Australasia’s assaults without any power to resist.
The formidable Island Nation Army couldn’t even see the Australasia Military, being trapped in the native land and completely unable to leave.
Meanwhile, the Island Royal Navy furiously blamed the army. The navy believed it was the army’s poor performance in the Ryukyu Islands that allowed Australasia to have such a nearby military airfield to bomb the Island Nation’s native land.
At the same time, the Island Royal Navy mocked the Army Air Squadron’s performance as, up to this point, most of the airplanes that went to intercept the Australasian Air Force belonged to the Island Nation Army’s Army Air Squadron.
Most of the Naval Air Squadron were on aircraft carriers; with the navy not deploying, naturally, these naval air squadrons could also not be deployed.
The feud between the army and navy had become an eternal topic in the Island Nation, with the battle over the military budget nearly leading to full-scale combats.
Of course, Australasia was unaware of the internal affairs occurring within the Island Nation. To Australasia, there was nothing more pleasurable than tormenting the Islanders.
Compared to the war on the European Battlefield, the war in the Pacific Ocean was utterly one-sided. Due to the superiority of airplanes, our country simply could not compete with Australasia.
Even more fatal was that in the air force area, the Island Nation not only lacked quality but also lagged behind in quantity.
The terrifying industrial production capability of Australasia far surpassed that of the Island Nation. For every airplane the Island Nation produced, Australasia could produce one and a half.
While this may seem like only a 1.5 times difference, it was actually the difference between wooden-frame airplanes and all-metal-frame airplanes.
If Australasia focused on producing wooden-frame airplanes, not only could it significantly reduce the costs of building airplanes, but it could also rapidly increase airplane production to several times that of the Island Nation.
