Give me five days
to prepare,
:32:03
and I'll ship the whole goddamn United
States Army to New Guinea by air.
:32:07
Really?
:32:09
- My staff hear about this?
- I doubt it.
:32:12
Don't tell 'em.
You'll scare 'em half to death!
:32:15
Attack!
:32:52
And you ram it
right down his throat!
:32:54
The recent bombings of our northern
airfields give us every reason to believe...
:32:58
that the nips' next move will be a massive
invasion of the Australian continent.
:33:04
The garrison at Darwin,
up here,
:33:06
doesn't have enough troops
to hold for more than 48 hours.
:33:10
So our best plan, therefore,
is to show token resistance...
:33:14
and fall back rapidly to this,
the Brisbane Line.
:33:18
To the north, the enemy
will find only burnt offerings.
:33:22
Meanwhile in the southeast,
we will throw everything...
:33:25
into the fight for the cities
and the farmlands around them.
:33:29
This is the living heart
of Australia,
:33:32
and we shall defend it
with our lives.
:33:35
- General.
- Thank you.
:33:39
Gentlemen,
:33:43
I've been deeply moved...
:33:45
and deeply stirred...
:33:48
by the allied efforts,
:33:50
and by the courage and
determination of the Australians...
:33:53
as expressed by
General Blamey, but...
:33:56
as supreme commander of
the southwest Pacific area,
