"Although the French are shirking responsibility, the possibility of the Allies concentrating their forces to attack France is not impossible, and may even be very high... ≦ Dingfeng Novel," Xu Jie said after reading Yang Yonglin's report.
"Is this like a gamble? The opponent may attack in two directions, but our strength is only enough to contain the opponent's offensive in one direction, so we have to analyze the opponent's attack direction? But I think France is indeed more important than South Asia. There are many. If possible, I would rather put Europe first and then Asia." Su Mo thought for a while and said.
"France is very important, but the Middle East and South Asia are also very important. Think about it, if Iran falls, then the world's largest oil producing areas will all fall into the hands of the Allies. I think you should be very interested in how much oil we consume a year. Clearly, and the growth rate is very fast, even if our oil fields in Northeast and North Asia can be successfully put into production, it is difficult to say whether the oil produced will be enough for us. We cannot let China's energy lifeline be in the hands of others." Xu Jie, of course. Knowing the historical production of Tyumen Oilfield and Daqing Oilfield, although China cannot be called an oil exporter, it is completely possible to be self-sufficient. However, Xu Jie's purpose is to let China control the Middle East. So there are some things that cannot be said. .
"The British rely heavily on Iran for oil. If we cannot keep Iran, the fuel system of the entire Allied Powers will become very difficult. It is almost unimaginable for the United States to supply China, the United Kingdom and France. And if we let the United States supply China, the United Kingdom and France. If the Germans occupy South Asia, the collapse of the British colonial empire is inevitable. But China will never have peace either!" Xu Jie said calmly.
"But France is also very important. We can't give up on France," Sumer said.
"France tends to be defensive. This does not conflict with the interests of the Allied Powers. It can even be said that as long as France can protect itself with its own strength, it will be the greatest contribution to the Allied Powers. But the key is that the French made a mistake. The fundamental reason why France can hold on is not the French navy, but the army and air force. I won’t say much about the French army, but the French air force is really terrible! It may collapse quickly under the attack of the Allied air force, and once it is lost In terms of air supremacy, facing the Allied fleet and the superior Allied air force entrenched in the Mediterranean, it was impossible for the French to block their opponents' offensive. Although the British proposal was for their own benefit, it did hit the mark and made up for the French's biggest shortcoming. Damn! But France just doesn’t buy it!” Xu Jie’s tone was filled with anger and a hint of uneasiness.
According to Xu Jie's original idea, the French Army will serve as the main force in Western Europe's defense against German ground attacks, while the Air Force will be jointly undertaken by Britain and France. After the Royal Air Force obtains the French base, it can not only effectively contain the German Air Force's attack, but also Use France as a base to carry out strategic bombing of Germany in depth. As long as France is there, the Luftwaffe will not go far to carry out strategic bombing of the British mainland. It would be better if France could control Sardinia. There is also a barrier in the south. , on the one hand, it can threaten the Allies' bases in Italy, and at the same time, it can also serve as a defense against the Allies' attack on France from the sea. Even if it is not effective, it can delay some time. The French Navy will have to deploy more than half of its forces into the Indian Ocean, part of which will be deployed They threatened the Allied flanks on Madagascar, while the other part joined the American and British fleets to fill the vacancies before China entered the war.
But what is the actual situation? Although the French army is all on the mainland, France has refused the large-scale entry of the British and American air forces, and the navy has also stayed on the mainland. The result of this is that the biggest shortcoming of France's military strength has not been made up for.
, and it is of little significance for home defense. For the outer sea
The navy, which is very important for combat operations, stayed on the mainland for soy sauce. More importantly, after France abandoned Sardinia, it resulted in a lack of depth. The southern ports were directly under attack by the Allies. After the Allies captured Italy, they formed
established a circular siege of France. Not only did it
France is within the attack radius of German strategic bombers. And because the Allies have obtained a series of better starting positions, medium bombers can also cover most areas. In World War I, France still had a place that could be called the rear.
In World War 2, facing the German air force
There is no safe land in France! Even after the war, the French realized this and agreed to the Royal Air Force's stationing. I am afraid that France also lost a large number of airports and aircraft in the air raids in the past few days. Even if the British wanted to come in
I’m afraid there aren’t many complete airports left!
"According to original estimates, it will take a long time for the Allies to conquer France. But now, the Allies have a better battlefield situation and have also gained Italian industry. After several years of recovery and development, they will definitely become an alliance.
It is an important part of the military system. The opponent's strength is growing, but the French are seeking death! It is your own fault!" Xu Jie said with a long sigh.
"By the way, let's talk about Germany and Italy. The person Germany sent to Italy this time to be responsible for integrating industrial production seems to be named Speer. It is said that he is very capable. And it is said that he also received support from the air force. And Speer should reciprocate the favor.
I prefer the Air Force." Su Mo thought for a while and said.
"This is really terrible news!" After hearing the name, Xu Jie squeezed out this sentence through his teeth. Who is Speer? Although this guy was just an architect at the beginning, he has become a leader in his organization.
And under the leadership of the Third Reich in history, the industrial production was under Allied bombing
Despite the machine, various wranglings within the Nazi Party and various conflicts among the capitalists, the German workers still reached their peak in 1944. And in this dimension, what can this guy do without many constraints?
What about his performance? Xu Jie felt uneasy thinking about it.
"It is estimated that France will not change its policy for a long time. What should we do? If France falls, it will not be good news for us." Su Mo realized the seriousness of the problem from Xu Jie's reaction. His tone
There is also a hint of anxiety in it.
"If this continues, it will be difficult for France to escape this disaster, and we must prepare ways to deal with it in the future. Based on the principle of leniency when predicting the enemy, we now need to consider what we should do if France is finished!"
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he looked at Su Mo to hear his opinion.
"The Germans are attacking France in the west, and we are attacking the Allied oil fields in the Middle East and the Caucasus in the east. The Allies have a total of four major oil fields, and our strategic bombers flying from Central Asia and South Asia can attack two of them.
France is much more powerful than Italy, and the Allies will do their best to fight against China
There won't be many air forces left in the east. This is an opportunity. Seriously damaging the opponent's fuel supply is more effective than annihilating hundreds of thousands of German troops. In addition, these two areas are relatively far from the German and Austrian mainland, and they want to resume production.
It will take a long time. Time is on our side." Su Mo said very simply.
"The idea is very good, but this alone is not enough. We also need to open another front. What do you think of West Africa? For example, in Western Sahara or Morocco. Of course, before that we need to occupy the Canary Islands first." Xu Jie
Although said in a tentative tone
These words, but Su Mo knew that Xu Jie had decided to put this matter on the agenda. Maybe it won't be long before China may make this suggestion to Britain, the United States, France and other countries. After all, in terms of distance, Britain and the United States
Better suited to fighting in North Africa than India.
"In the future, when China joins the war, we will gradually replace British and American forces as the main offensive force in the Indian Ocean. If we want to control the Middle East, we must make corresponding efforts. And the power of the United States and Britain also needs to be released, rather than letting them run through
Since most of the world has come to the Middle East, it would be better for them to open one in Africa
A battlefield. On the one hand, it can disperse Germany's power. On the other hand, if a breakthrough can be achieved in Morocco, then Spain, a loser, is likely to defect. This will allow our power to enter the Mediterranean and directly threaten the maritime and aviation power of the Allies.
Base camp." Xu Jie said.
"If it comes to this, maybe the Russians will also take action. We can even transfer some troops to Eastern Europe through the railway connected to Russia. However, will it be too heavy for us to be solely responsible for the offensive tasks in the Indian Ocean theater?
?Large-scale ground war means huge casualties. And the Germans will definitely try their best to protect their oil fields. Although I don’t know how much benefit we can gain in the Middle East in the future, I think the price may be a bit high.
"Su Mo said.
"First of all, you should believe me. China can definitely gain unimaginable benefits in the Middle East in the future. Secondly, I have also considered the cost issue you mentioned, so we need to use the excuse of insufficient fuel to let the United States, Britain and other countries help us resist Germany.
The first wave of human attacks. Then, we gradually intervened in the war, thereby finally gaining dominance over the Indian Ocean war situation. Of course, before we fulfill our obligations, Britain and the United States must open a second battlefield in North Africa. The United Kingdom and the United States are targeting Germany
Strategic bombing must also be carried out in an all-round way," Xu Jie said.
"These things are still far away from us, and these are all strategic matters. I think we can talk about some more realistic issues now, such as the formation and supplementation of the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet in the future? After this war, I have a feeling
I have a hunch that our existing armored aircraft carriers cannot completely defend against the opponent's attacks. The battle losses may be relatively large when facing land-based aviation forces," Sumer said.
