In 1932, a human-bird war broke out in Australia, 20,000 giant birds swept across Australia, the famous Major General Meredian actually asked a company to support, what species makes the Royal Australian Artillery helpless?
The belligerents in this man-bird battle were Australia's Royal Artillery and a "giant ostrich".
Do not underestimate this "huge ostrich", although it cannot fly, and even the clumsy wings can only play a decorative role, but it is this huge species, the ability to dodge is extremely strong, even the royal army is defeated.
That's right, the royal army's opponent is the emus, they are extremely adaptable, like omnivorous, insects, love to follow the source of water, and run very fast, plus the species has a certain aggressiveness, people dare not easily attack them.
In 1932, precipitation in Australia plummeted, and emus formed a small team to pursue water sources to move forward together, along the way, emu continued to join in, and the small team also grew rapidly.
There was no grass left in the grasslands through which the large army passed, and as the ranks expanded endlessly, the demand for water increased, so they began to attack crops.
Watching the emus trampling on their crops, the local farmers are very distressed, and some people want to stop it, but the team of emus is too large, and everyone who obstructs them is eventually pecked blue and purple.
People took advantage of the dark to lay traps in the surviving crops, wait for the emus to fall into the net, buy weapons and prepare to kill them, and this, the huge team did not pay attention to it, they broke through the arranged net, dodged weapons, and even attacked people.
The people were terrified, but could not bear to destroy their hard-earned crops, so they asked for the army's support, but the army sent only one major general, Meredion, and two soldiers.
When Meredion heard that his opponents were a group of "big birds" this time, he felt that this was a shame for himself, and wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop with a quick victory.
When the huge team came to the crop field again, the major general began to shoot wildly at the emus. However, although emu live on the mainland all year round, their wings are hardened and they can no longer fly, but their walking speed is so amazing, a step can be three meters large.
Major General They are still shooting wildly, but the emus escaped at an alarming speed, looking at the shell casings on his ground, the major general was very proud, and when he looked at the emus in the crops, he was shocked, thousands of bullets only killed a dozen emus?
Seeing that the situation was not right, the major general immediately requested a company to support, and directly sent the Royal Australian Artillery Unit to confront it, and in the face of the large force, the emu did not panic at all.
The war was imminent, and soon the emu army had divided into multiple lines to consume the army's bullets and energy, and their speed of walking was extremely fast, and they soon left the army behind, and when the army wanted to chase forward, they found that their tanks could not walk in the crops.
In this way, 59860 rounds of ammunition only killed 2500 emus, and the army was also stunned by the great power of emus, and they effortlessly used their own advantages and terrain advantages to skillfully defeat the army twice, which is really a great shame for the Royal Australian Artillery!
After spending huge energy and financial resources, tossing month after month, the number of emus is still increasing, and there is still no good way to catch them all.
In 1964, seeing that the situation was out of control, the Australian authorities issued a bounty order with 2 marks for each emu killed, and this measure was quickly met with a strong response.
This time, the people took action together and tried their best to kill the emus, and the ranks of the people instantly became stronger, and with the help of the army, it can be said that it is stronger and stronger.
After half a year, tens of thousands of emu were eliminated, after all, the meat of emu is fragrant and tender, and its manure is also the most natural fertilizer for crops, and the people are enthusiastic.
In 1988, when the emus were killed uncontrollably, making the emus an endangered animal, the Australian authorities immediately issued a new policy banning the killing of emus and protecting it as a national bird.
At this time, the emu can finally stop, no longer avoid people's hunting day and night, but enjoy the treatment that it deserves as a national bird.
