1939. How do you fortify this thing beyond any sane measure? Maginot on Gin-drinker line? Landmines and naval mines all over the place? Barb wire? Three infantry divisions with separate arty retiment and enough tin cans to last you untill 1952? If going insane with fortification in this case, how is it done?
>>61981487It's very hilly and rocky, perfect for defenders. However, the Brits as usual, abandoned their colonies at the drop of a hat in order to "protect the motherland", leaving their erstwhile colonial subjects to the tender mercies of the Japs.
>>61981487Special 280 millimeters cannons.
>>61981487You don't, because you don't even have money to fortify Singapore, the "Gibraltar of the East" and lynchpin to your strategy to defend Australia and New Zealand.You're a basic bitch island country who shot their wad and lost a generation because some Serb killed an aristocrat. Welcome to irrelevance.
>>61981487Easy, like this.
>>61981487Mine the harbors/channels and arm the locals with pitchforks and harpoons; any naval landing will be scattered and swallowed up
>beyond any sane measureMaginot Line + Atlantic Wall + fuckloads of chemical weapons
>>61984366It was actually the 2 female penultimate leaders within 70 years that tore them to shreds.
>>61983003in what possible world is the UK able to defend such isolated places as Hong Kong and Singapore while simultaneously fighting Germany and Italy?
>>61984390what the fuck is a "penultimate leader"
>>61981487I think making some tiger teams of aussies to see if what you thought were geographically impassable barriers actually were would have been a good move and cost nothing
>>61981487Theodesian Walls, plus a big chain across any straits where you don't want naval traffic.
>>61984408"penultimate" means second-to-last.
>1939>Use 90s mapAlso you can't. New Territory is hilly but with a very large coastline. Japs can land anywhere and bypass the defense, which they did. Then you are left with Kowloon and HK Island, while being urban and heavily fortified. Is very small, lack defence depth and water source. Only way to do it is form second Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
>>61984426Explain the sentence "two second-to-last leaders"
>>61984423>TheodesianTheodosian
>>61984405>in what possible world is the UK able to defend such isolated places as Hong Kong and Singapore while simultaneously fighting Germany and Italy?The world prior to 1918.
>>61984480OK so we both agree the OP is stupid, great
