Det är aldrig avslöjat vem den invaderande armén är; men de verkar vara invaderande på grund av behovet av mark.

Det visar sig att ursprunget för den invaderande armén aldrig avslöjas . Det föreslås att den ursprungliga författaren gjorde detta för att begränsa att landet strider mot det verkliga livet , på grund av hur armén agerar i själva serien. I min forskning är fienderna (mestadels) grymma och "utan försonande egenskaper". Jag har funnit spekulation om att armén är franska , kinesiska , malaysiska , koreanska , indonesiska em> och mer generellt Asien .

En konstant motiv som jag finner är att den invaderande armén vill utnyttja allt vårt outvecklade utrymme. Jag antar att ingen kropp berättade för dem att den inte är utvecklad eftersom den är också , mestadels obeboelig .

Vi har mer information om vem de är inte .

En artikel om rsimpson.id.au ger insikt om vad vi vet om fienden, från böckerna:

The Enemy at rsimpson.id.au(emphasis mine):

Anyway, it is easier to identify who they are not. They are not:

• New Zealand (as they fight on our side)
  
• Papua New Guinea (as the fight on our side)
  
• The United States of America (as they supply us with equipment)
  
• Japan (as they supply us with equipment)
  
• India (as they try and broker a peace deal)
  

So who are they ? What are their characteristics ?

• They speak a guttural language, with a sort of wailing music to it (The Dead of the Night, p44)
  
• Their language is nothing that Fi recognises (and she knows about 6), Lee doesn't recognise it and he knows Thai and Vietnamese, Homer does not recognise it and he knows Greek nor does Ellie (with her poor French).
  
• They are ruled by a general - likely a military dictatorship (*Tomorrow, When the War Began*, p168)
  
• They have a large population, several times ours (otherwise they wouldn't have a hope of pulling of an occupation)
  
• They use a different alphabet to us [Australians](The Night is for Hunting, p128 - a soap packet wrapper)
  
• They were either colonised by a European power with a royal family or have one of their own (The Other Side of Dawn, p192 - Colonel Long's rank insignia is three crowns) but not by the British as the invader's insignia for a Colonel is a crown and two stars.
  
• They have at least one aircraft carrier (The Third Day, The Frost, p82)
  
• They have a base nearby to Victoria (that's where they invade, and for a successful invasion you need a nearby base, see Invading Australia
  

Författaren till artikeln föreslår att vad vi vet inte matchar något ett land och att de anser att detta har varit en avsiktlig plot-enhet, på en del av John Marsden. Författaren noterar en populär teori om att armén helt enkelt är Asien , men säger att de tolkar armén som franska .

Det finns förslag om att invadrare är en sydasiatisk -koalition.

Wikipedia-artikeln på serien säger att den invaderande armén är en koalition av sydasiatiska länder, och söker en lösning på överbefolkningen.

"Tomorrow series" at Wikipedia (emphasis mine)

Likewise, no parts of the war outside Ellie's immediate perspective are covered; the reader is not informed exactly how much of the country is under enemy control, or how well the war is going for the Australian military. However the invaders are described in the series as a coalition of highly populous South Asian nations seeing the vast underdeveloped spaces of Australia as a way to tackle their overpopulation (Most likely Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines) and the series features multinational colonies of enemy civilians being set up in conquered territory.

En annan användare finner mycket likheter med Indonesien .

En användare har också frågat om armén på Quora , och än en gång är vi bara möttes med spekulation:

"In John Marsden's Tomorrow, when the war began, who is the invading army" at Quora(emphasis mine)

"It is never actually mentioned, in the books or movies. It is likely to be Indoneisa, our neighbour to the North has a strong military, and they have a lot of peopl[sic] and not enough space. They aren't as fortunate as Australia for sure, and in the movie, it is mentioned that the invaders are Australia's "less fortunate neighbours[sic]."

It can't be China, simply because then New Zealand, even in with their military super boosted by the war, would never be able to win against China. Apparently the North Korean flag can be seen on the helmets of the soldiers in the movie, and it makes sense, nobody from North Korea will ever be offended by this, and I didn't notice this flag at all, keeping in mind I learnt[sic] this fact after watching the movie. The invading army seems far two equipped and capable, with tw[sic] is, army, and good aircraft, to be the DPRK. And even then, the U.S. Would probably jump at the chance to save a nation from invasion from North Korea, especially a western country, and an ally.

I can't see it being China or North Korea, so even though technically, the answer is nothing, because it is never mentioned, but I would have to say Indonesia, Papua New Guinea was allied with Australia during this war, and they also wouldn't be able to successfully take over Australia. The same with Malaysia, but they don't have a very high population, so they wouldn't need to invade as much as indoneisa[sic] would. I guess it could be Singapore, they have a strong airforce, but because they probably don't have a good enough population for the invasion, and they could easily be beaten by Indonesia, even though I think Singapore has a better airforce, if they were to invade Australia, assuming indoneisa[sic] doesn't help."
