Chapter 1416: China and Germany
"Isn't it a little early for us to join the war now?" Qin Yue said hesitantly after taking a look at the memorandum of talks handed over by Xu Jie. Since the end of the Iran War, Qin Yue has directly served as the Chief of General Staff of the Air Force. This time Xu Jie
Jay agreed to send the air force to assist the Allies first, but the specific plan had to be formulated through the Air Force General Staff, and how to mobilize that force had to be completed below.
"Honestly, it's a little early. I wish the Entente and the Central Powers would both lose before taking action, but time waits for no time. The situation at sea has changed, and the situation in Europe is already very unstable." Xu Jie said with a smile, although his tone was calm.
, but told Qin Yue that the matter had been decided!
"The situation at sea is not good. Why are you looking for the navy? Why are you looking for me?" Qin Yue's eyes were a little strange and he muttered in his heart. However, he would not say such words, but would obediently send the troops that China could mobilize recently.
Part of the aviation force information was brought out and the latter was asked to make a final decision.
"Okay, I understand your question, and I will explain it to you here. Our help is to prevent Britain from dying and allow the war to continue, not to solve the Germans once and for all. We do not have the strength and do not have this intention.
All we can do now is to improve the environment in the United States and Britain so that they can
Take some positive actions. Okay, that's it for now. Hurry up and finish this matter. You can call Su Mo in later. I have something to say to him." Xu Jie said in a foggy voice, Qin Yue how much
He still didn't understand. Well, what he said above was all he could do. After he went out, he called Su Mo in.
Compared with Qin Yue who was confused by Xu Jie's order, Su Mo was the real trouble. At least the former's life was not in danger, and Su Mo would soon go to Europe. He would join the Allied Fleet and his position would be the Chinese Consulate General.
The naval envoys of the Allied Powers are going to the battlefield. If they are unlucky, the result will be unimaginable.
Judging from internal channels, the Allies, who have been pushed to the edge, seem to be planning to give it a try. This is a rare opportunity. China must send people to see the German tactics and actual combat effectiveness to prepare for future battles, and Su Mo, as
The best aircraft carrier commanders of the new generation naturally need to go to the battlefield to learn in practice.
In fact, China has been pushing the Allies and the Allies to have a decisive naval battle. After all, China will face the German fleet sooner or later. Before that, it is undoubtedly a good choice to let the Allies consume the opponent. Of course, from a strategic perspective, the Allies take action at this time
It is also the best choice, if you give up the last chance and choose
If they choose to retreat, once the Allies deploy nearly 20 aircraft carriers based on French bases on the west coast, it will be difficult for the Allied transport ships to deliver supplies to the United Kingdom. Therefore, after Cunningham made a suggestion, whether it was Ni
Both Miz and Bond agreed to this plan, which made Xu Jie very happy!
Since everyone is about to jump into a trench, the necessary help is naturally indispensable. Therefore, Xu Jie's first round of support for the Allied Powers was to send 5 Stone Kestrel air wings to Europe to provide assistance to the already exhausted
The land-based aviation force of the Allied Powers' navy has received a shot in the arm. The combat effectiveness of the 500 P51 fighter jets is definitely not weak. After being equipped with China's new liquid
After cooling down the engines, the performance of this batch of past Shiksha Falcon fighters is close to that of the P51B. In terms of performance, it can suppress the FW190A! This air force is also a fuse for the Allied Powers fleet. With the P51B, the range is still acceptable, and in the Allied Powers
When the fleet is being chased through the streets by the opponent, this air force still has a chance to save their lives!
Xu Jie was also deeply afraid that the Americans would not understand the meaning and throw these precious fighter jets into a frontal battlefield like a meat grinder. He also specifically added that this is a naval aviation unit with very rich experience in sea combat.
, and if the Allied Navy makes a big move, China will be notified one week in advance.
If so, China can urgently dispatch about 2 wings of aircraft from Vladivostok. The specific route has been thought out, go directly north, then turn east to Alaska, and then fly all the way to the east coast of the United States! This oil is burning, Xu Jie is all
I was touched by my sincerity! I wonder if 100 aviation gasoline is very valuable in this era!
As for the precious aircraft carrier formation, Xu Jie still has no intention of dispatching it now. After the battle between the Allied fleet and the Allied fleet, the Chinese Atlantic Squadron will fight side by side with the US fleet to reopen the North Atlantic route. And the Navy
The main force then entered the Indian Ocean, and together with the Chinese Army in northern Iran, launched an attack on the Ottoman Empire at any time. Before a complete break-up, China still needed to evacuate all personnel within the Allies, and this work took time.
Just as China was preparing for war, the Germans also felt that the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was getting stronger. Judging from the Chinese embassy in the Allied Powers and some recent things it has done, China will eventually become the opposite of Germany.
!The Germans know the power of China. Once China completes its war preparations, it will definitely have a subversive impact on the war situation. "From now on, we will have at most half a year."
It’s time to solve Europe’s problems. If we can’t seize this last opportunity, then we will be enemies of the most powerful alliance of countries in the world, and France and Britain must die!” At an urgent meeting of the High Command,
, there was a decisiveness in William II's tone, and there was also a hint of fear hidden in it! The trouble Germany encountered this time was greater than the troubles in World War I in history!
"It seems that our plan is going ahead of schedule. The Redel fleet's mission in the South Atlantic has been completed. The rest of the mission will be left to the submarine. I need him to bring the fleet back intact. What do you think?" at the meeting
After the end, Earl Spee asked his student Earl Luckner for advice. He now wanted to start follow-up actions as soon as possible. Although he knew that there would be further delay
The effect will be better after a period of time. Judging from the thank you letter sent by the army, the Allied forces in France have already experienced a shortage of supplies. Naturally, the role of the Redel fleet cannot be ignored. If there are no external factors, Count Spee agreed.
Raeder continues to fight in the south, but now, the Kaiser has spoken. The German Navy's action plan must be accelerated!
As Cunningham deduced, the fleet deployed by Germany in the entire South Atlantic is already very powerful. No one will ignore the combat effectiveness of these battleships and the more than 300 aircraft of various types carried on them. If the Germans want to fight with the Allies,
Once done, then the Redel fleet must be transferred back. In this case, the crisis on the southern route will be automatically resolved. Of course, those annoying submarines will still exist.
"Actually, it can be a little later. General Redel's fleet has not yet exhausted its supplies, and the new wave of American reinforcement fleets has not yet moved south. This is somewhat in conflict with the force division plan we started to formulate. We worked hard to let it go
achieved a tactical victory without
If we can't convert it into a strategic victory, there will always be some unwillingness, and our air force to replenish the Redel fleet is ready. We only need to transfer the battleships. There will be no major losses in the main battleships, and the replenishment speed will be very fast.
Quick." Count Luckner said.
"The Redel fleet can stay in the Atlantic Ocean for another week at most! This is a dead order! I will immediately have the confidential officers prepare to send the message. Okay, the rest is to prepare the fleet to attack. My child, this is the most critical moment.
It's coming soon. For this battle, we must learn to give up something." His student's answer made Count Spee a little embarrassed, and after some hesitation, he still made a concession.
After returning to the safe island, the German Navy was making full preparations. Except for the Redel fleet, the remaining fleets had almost been completely rested and replenished. It can be said that the combat effectiveness has reached its highest peak. And what surprised the German Navy was that the German fleet
The super aircraft carrier, the Kaiser, the first ship of the Kaiser-class aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of more than 40,000 tons, was finally completed at the German Navy Mediterranean Shipyard in Crete. The training mission was quickly completed.
, according to the current timetable, the Caesar can definitely enter the battle before the decisive battle breaks out. This aircraft carrier can carry about 3 squadrons of twin-engine aircraft. If we simply talk about the amount of firepower projection, the service of a Caesar-class aircraft carrier is not
How much combat effectiveness will be increased, but the key is that the various electronic warfare aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft above have greatly improved the soft confrontation capabilities of the German Navy, giving the German naval aviation an electronic warfare force that can accompany the attack group.
The Germans have a total of 19 fleet aircraft carriers (including the Austro-Hungarian fleet). The Spanish have not yet decided whether to participate in this decisive battle. This makes the Germans very dissatisfied. However, as compensation, Spain is willing to increase its army and troops stationed in France.
The Air Force and the Allied Fleet almost continued their initial deployment. The entire fleet was divided into four detachments. The newly commissioned Caesar-class aircraft carriers were directly assigned to
Graf Spee. In addition, there will be 7 aviation cruisers (including the remaining 3 aviation cruisers of the Krank fleet.) The Germans have equipped these battleships with aircraft, and the 26 aviation battleships will have a total of more than 2,200 aircraft.
Various carrier-based aircraft! Among them, the proportion of fw190 aircraft is as high as more than 60%. The remaining 20% are ju90 torpedo aircraft, and about 10% are twin-engine aircraft!
Although the Germans have seen the strong combat potential of twin-engine aircraft, due to the constraints of aircraft carriers, the number of twin-engine aircraft in the German fleet is not very large. Most of them are responsible for various support tasks. Of course, some of them also carry guidance
These twin-engine bombers will serve as the Germans' trump card and will be used at the last critical moment.
Completely eliminate each other's main battleships. In order to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier fleet, Germany and Austria assembled nearly a hundred various destroyers and small battleships. Many of these destroyers were equipped with centimeter-wave radars with better performance and were deployed on the periphery.
It is used as a radar picket ship. In addition, there are 2 dozen cruisers and 1 dozen battleships guarding the left and right sides.
In addition to these main fleets, the Germans also assigned a large number of non-combat auxiliary warships to the fleet, such as various oil tankers, tugboats, hospital ships, etc. The most special ship among them is known as the target within the German Navy.
A camouflaged ship. This kind of ship is actually a camouflaged aircraft carrier converted from a large civilian ship.
There is a huge flight deck, and some wooden aircraft are arranged. These warships are false targets, waiting for the opponent to take the bait. Because of their slow speed, the five targets owned by the German High Seas Fleet are organized into a single team.
It's best if you can attract the opponent to attack. If you can't, the losses won't be huge.
In addition to the preparations of the naval fleet, the land-based aviation units under the German High Seas Fleet have also begun to mobilize. To be honest, apart from the attack on Corsica, the pressure on the German naval land-based aviation units is not great, and it can even
It is said that the German and Austrian air forces did not use their full strength in the battle against France. The German Air Force and Naval Air Force, which had always had spare power, had been waiting for a
The opportunity is an opportunity to completely push away the opponent. The Air Force has already stretched the Allied Air Force in Europe through long-term attrition. The Navy's preparations have also been completed. Just before the fleet makes final preparations before departure.
, the three aviation armies of the German Navy began to maneuver towards Spain, Portugal and the islands outside the Strait of Gibraltar!
Hundreds of aircraft maneuvering to these places every day naturally cannot hide the local intelligence network of the Allied Powers. Such large-scale mobilization not only requires the movement of aircraft, but also requires the movement of other units that provide maintenance and support for the aircraft. A large number of ships and personnel
The movement caused the capacity of some ports and transit stations to be immediately saturated! According to the intelligence sent by the intelligence system, the Americans finally realized that the other side was preparing to move! This time it was not a small fight like in the South Atlantic! This was the High Seas Fleet
The sign before this dragon goes to sea!
The Allies found that their actions had to be advanced. The American fleet and the British fleet began to gather from various ports to the front line. The carrier-based aircraft units originally used as air force reserves on land also began to return to the aircraft carrier. But at this time, suddenly appeared
By accident, the French naval commander Darlan suddenly proposed at this juncture that the French fleet should go out to deal with the Redel fleet in the South Atlantic. This made the American and British officers very surprised and dissatisfied!
"What do the French want to do? Anyone who makes such a suggestion at this time is simply an accomplice of the Germans! They are splitting the Allied fleet! They are evading their responsibilities! They should all be sent to the gallows!" Churchill continued.
After hearing this news, Lei Lei was furious!
"But the French said that due to the interruption of the South Atlantic route, the supplies they obtained have dropped to about 70%. Even the supplies of some rear troops have begun to decline. They were very dissatisfied with our actions, so General Darlan proposed the need for the French fleet
The slogan of solving this problem yourself." A subordinate's timely reminder left Churchill speechless. After all, this matter was fundamentally caused by the United States and Britain giving up the interests of France.
Chapter completed!
