Constantine Huang looked over the plans. The civil war was winding down, and the FXF was clearly in the ascendant, winning out in Wuhan and Manchuria.

Now, it was time to conquer once more. The Free Republic of Mexico had been a warmup; the Civil War had sharpened the teeth of an entire nation and provided battle-ready soldiers.

Now, Australia lay in his grasp......

The Xenizen Army had been to Australia before. The Second World War had seen Hideki Tojo's men try to conquer The Land Down Under, only to find his army reduced to cannibalism and despair at the hands of MacArthur, and ANZAC troops and US Marines.

This time, it was thoughroughly planned. FXF B-52 and B-70mk1 squadrons, based in Kyushu and Xenizen South China would begin escorted flights to Australian airspace. Octo-nitro-cubane, Headcrab bombs, and conventional laser-guided iron bombs would join Tomahawks from Submarine units and FXF Surface units from the South Pacific Fleet to reduce the defenses to rubble.

Then, 300,000-500,000 troops from the Army of Kyushu and the Army of South China would join the fight. A few Korean Auxiliary regiments would join in, as well. There would be landings at Townsville, Waipa, Darwin, Windham and Port Hedland.

These forces would march inland, supported by 24/7 air attack. They would blitz the weak Aussie Army, and crush them before they could react. This would go well............

As for New Zealand.......well.......two Marine Expeditionary Units would take the North Island, same game plan as Australia.

The name of the Op: Operation Crocodile Dundee.

Somewhere in South China, 1200 ZULU-

The night was black, with a full moon. Rebel B-52's and B-70mk1's were being primed and loaded for the epic journey ahead.

Things were going down the tubes. Already, the Reds were being raped by Allied air forces.....

But their new mission was different.

The B-52's of 1304 Squadron- some 25- and the B-70mk1's-some 20- were being loaded with Fuel Air Bombs, Bunker Busters, octo-nitro-cubane, and Headcrab Bombs. The mood was almost a carnival-loud music was playing, and the guys were laughing. Last minute checks were being done, and crews were working hard to get these birds off the ground.

After five minutes, the bombers began taxing onto the runway, and lifted off. Their destination: the city of Townsville, in Australia.

They flew over the South China Sea, not knowing what to expect. All they knew was that their F-81 Peacemaker and TSA-12 Kestrel escorts were following close, ready to fight any Aussie fighters that would come.

And as they reached Australian land, come they did.

Several F-16's flew to meet the Xenizens. The Xenizen fighters went to meet the Aussie aircraft, firing missiles at them and dogfighting them with cannons. Before long, that initial wave was taken down, and the air armada moved onshore.

The B-52's targeted all kinds of military bases. Theater SAM's, SAMs, army and air bases, convoys, anything that could help the Australians, was subjected to intense bombing.

The bombardiers, as they watched, could see the flames on the ground expand outward quickly. They could see explosions, and the destruction of the enemy below.

The B-70mk1's flew to Townsville. There, they tested their Headcrab Bombs on the populace; they dropped about several hundred thousand Headcrabs' worth of bombs on the poor burg. They couldn't see the effects from the air, but they knew that, if it worked.....

Evntually, they used up their bombs and flew back to base.......

-----------------------------------

Meanwhile, on the ground, the bombs exploded. Their cargo soon had its effect........

The army bases were drowned in a sea of flames. Explosions occured in chain reactions, as tanks, fuel, and ammo went up in smoke. Men and materiel were reduced to particulate matter, and there was no oxygen anywhere.

The rabbits died, that was good. But in Townsville, they didn't know that. The Headrabs, which were busy killing and infecting local citizens, got all the news. Already, 1% of the citizens were turned into zombies. The rest of the town was plunged into chaos, as men and women used shovels, knives and pistols to hunt the Crabs before they became the wlaking dead. The police and fire departments had their hands full, killing zombies and calming the populace.

And yet, the zombies seemed to multiply....

"Commander"

Huang looked up from his letter.

"Yes?"

The adjutant said, "Sir, we have confirmation of a positive hit. Townsville is in the sh-soup, sir. We ruined local defenses and have infected the city."

Huang then nodded and said, "Tell the other Air Forces to lift off. They have their targets."

"Yes, sir."

The adjutant walked away.

That night, all over UX, bombers lifted off to begin Phase I of Operation Crocodile Dundee. Townsville was gone, now, Waipa, Darwin, Windham and Port Hedland would suffer its same fate. Even Townsville would get no relief; another bomb group was sent in..........

----------------

Sendai Naval Base-

The South Pacific Fleet moved out. It would split into its various detachments, and hit their various targets.

General O'Brien laughed at the predicament of the Aussies. The Xenian Armed Forces had overwhelmed them. Now think what the Camel Eaters would do to the disorganzied ANZACs. He ordered the men out quickly over the Xenian lines passing by their Asian cousins they swiftly established desert bases in the areas of the Uluru, Great Victoria Desert, and Lake Erye. They had firm control over the deserts before marching the 5th Dalcassian Army into New South Wales.

The 5th Army ravaged the motley militias they met along the way before stopping at Canberra and turning inland once more. They left destruction in their wake. They would fight all the way to the Nullabor Plain and the city of Adelaide. They would finish what Upper Xen had started just a few days ago. The Central Territories of Austalia would be consumed into the Camel Eaters Empire. Whoever wanted what was left could have it....

The 5th Dalcassian Army: (I'm not good at armies)

5 Divisions: 750 men and women including support. 150 per Division.
1 Totalitarian Class Dreadnaught. The CERS Manny.
350 Kaiten mini-sub support for the CERS Manny.
3 Supply Lines running from Panama.

The bombing missions over Waipa, Darwin, Windham and Port Hedland paid off, and the ANZAC bases nearby suffered a similar fate as the base in Townsville. These cities, as well, became infected with Headcrab Zombies as well. Chaos now reigned over the whole of northern Australia, as refugees moved out of the cities, and the remaining ANZACs, weakened by the near-total demolishing of their materiel and manpower, the rise of a zombie horde, and the coming of the Camel Eaters, struggled to keep up.

Townsville was not spared, either. It was given another round of bombing, more Headcrabs, more Octo-nitro-cubane, more violence and firestorms.

----------------

The various detachments of the South Pacific Fleet moved in. Now, it was their turn.

Assembling of the shores of their respective targets in an intimidating formation, they began launching their F-35's, F/A-18's, and TSA-12B's, which proceeded to deal with the remaining RAAF fighters and attack any power stations, factories, and other high-value civil and military targets that the bombers didn't get with napalm, and iron bombs.

Then, the Sea Knights moved in, landing men on the shores, and proceeding to fan out, to take port facilities and claim parts of their target cities almost from the get go.

All the while, Tomahawks from the Seawolves, and the other ships aided the landings, and Sea Kings kept watch for Collins-class subs.

The troops moved in. In every targeted city, from house to house, they used standard breach-bang-clear battle procedures, using flashbangs and cleaning out the ANZACs that elected to stay and fight in the city, and the occasional zombie that got in the way. If there was an area too difficult to clean out by that method alone, then the F-35's were brought in to sort things out.

By now, several facilities had been taken, and the tanks and supply vehicles were brought out. T-4 and T-125 tanks, fresh from combat in China and Japan, were soon prowling the streets, hunting for enemy ANZAC armor. Land Rovers and Casspirs moved in, ready to take the foot soldier whereever he needed to be. And, G6 cannons moved out, ready to unleash their brand of justice on the poor ANZAC foe.

The Xenizen forces moved further throughout the cities, the G6 guns and the tanks joining the attacks. The Korean Auxiliaries, feeling good, began playing the "Scottish Regimental March" as they stormed through their objectives. The ANZACs fell back-the zombies and the human troops were too much.

Besides, God willing, the zombies might turn on their masters. The refugees began waving white handkerchiefs in large numbers, eager to surrender. The Xenizens complied, letting them into hospitals and schools for processing.

The zombies were another matter. In each city, the Xenizens had to spend time taking out the headcrab zombies, as they sprung up. Crowbars and shovels soon went to work, and many a pyre of headcrabs burned. The zombies were easily dispatched with a headshot, and the bodies burned. It was the moaning that got the troops occasionally, the zombies did have a tendency to make freaky noises.

As this occurred, troops that could be spared and air power were moved out into the country, to round up the remaining ANZACs.........and any sympathizers that came with.

Meanwhile-

"Sir, its John Howard on Line 2."

"Put him through."

Huang picked up the phone. He said, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Howard."

The Prime Minister of Australia was despondent. "Jesus......you guys tore us up. You raped us, you burned our crops, our cities, even unleashed some horror move freaks. You win, fine. Happy?"

Huang then said, slightly offended: "Yes."

John Howard then said, "I turn my government to you....the remaining Australian Army quits."

Huang then said, "Meet me in Townsville, tomorrow. 12:00 Noon."

John, knowing what this meant, said, "Mr. Huang, I can't, but my representative can."

Huang fumed, and said, "Well, send someone. I need an authorized surrender."

John said, "Okay.....do I get to stay in power?"

Huang said, calmly: "Well, funny enough-you do. You get to be the first Civil Administrator of Xenizen Oceania."

John said, "F**k."

-----------

The next day-

A representative, sure enough, met Huang in Townsville. He was despondent, but well dressed. He had a General left with him, who was grim faced as well.

Huang had them sit down at a table. He pushed a document in their faces. They signed, and then Huang signed, without relish. Then, he nodded, and left. The representatives left, too.

It was over. Australia was now no longer a seperate entity......

-----------

Auckland, New Zealand-

"Prime Minister...the Aussies have fallen. The Xenizens are to come any minute. They will not accept negotiations. They ask only for unilateral surrender."

The NZ Prime Minister said, "Humph.......bastards. We will resist. Order the army on high guard. We shall resist this new Attila."

As she said this, the humming of jets came over Auckland. The whistling of bombs soon fell, and a rumbling and whoosing of fire came.....

The Prime Minister ducked and covered, to no avail: she was engulfed in the storm.

High above the city, a Xenizen B-52 bomber crew said, "Direct hit....we've cooked them. Back to base."

A wire soon came from the NZ government, asking for surrender. They saw what had happened to Australia, and knew that they could not last long under such a force. The people clamored for resistance, but the remaining ministers agreed: to resist was suicide.

Huang gladly accepted their surrender, with the remark, "I see you've come to your senses."

The Marines that later came went in an anticlimax. Landing on the beaches in Auckland, and at its port facilities, they were greeted by a populace holidng signs saying a variety of pleas for peace. The Marines ignored this, and marched on.

Townsville-

John Howard stood in front of the Town Hall. He then read out a speech.

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

I come before you with a heavy heart. As of 12:00 Noon yesterday, Australia has become part of two empires. Our Northern quarters are now known as Xenizen North Oceania, and the Southern areas belong to the Camel Eaters. The two factions share the Northern Territory.

Let it be known that I am now Civil Administrator of Xenizen North Oceania. I will continue to serve the Australian people in this role, and do my best.

Thank you, and may God forgive me."

----------------

Shanghai-

Huang then said, "Fine...look, Mr. President, Australia is ours. The Western Old USA will fall soon....yes...."

Huang got surprised. "I'm in the middle of blitzing the Reds. Have somebody else make a new ANZAC force, m'kay? Relax."

"Sorry, Mr. President......."

Hong Kong, DX, Upper Xen-

Today, with the Xenizen North Oceanian Consolidation Act ready for voting in front of the Free Congress, today marks a new chapter in Xenizen politics. Or rather, a chapter not seen since the 1880's.

"I am excited about this endeavor. I know that once this nation is reunited, and once we pass this bill, both Upper Xen and Xenizen North Oceania will benefit greatly from this arrangement, and both sides will prosper," said Gordon Lew, President of the Free Xenizen Forces. "Today is a new beginning for all."

Others however, are skeptical.

"This represents an Ottomanistic turn in global politics. We are not imperialists, and we have no buisness monkeying about with other developed nations. Did our experience with Nihilanth show us that Imperialism never pays? I wonder if it really did," said John Hu, Senate Majority Whip (F-Fujian).

Nonetheless, the bill, if passed, will create an autonomous local government with local military forces and taxation and judicial powers for Xenizen North Oceania, expected to encompass the present areas of north Western Australia, Queensland, and North Island, NZ. A joint-sharing policy will be instituted with the government of Camel Eaters, as well, for administering the Northern Territory.

Hong Kong, DX, Upper Xen-

Today, by a 234-24 House and 96-4 Senate margin, the Xenizen North Oceanian Consolidation Act was passed by both houses of Congress.

The President will sign the bill into law later. The President, upon news of the victory, was heard to have said, "It's like bowling-only cooler."
