Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The German-made battleship that was tested in the Indian Ocean and strengthened to the Indian Navy of the British Ocean finally returned to the Atlantic in anxiety. Along the way, the warship avoided the tracking of the German submarine and bypassed the blockade of the German Navy. It took one month to finally reach the Canadian port from the Indian Ocean.
This warship has been renamed the "villain" because of the war with Germany. It is regarded as the most nasty battleship in the Royal Navy. However, this battleship is indeed the shortest main battleship in the active battleship of the British Navy.
The villain merged with the Royal Ark aircraft carrier staying in the Canadian port and the repaired King George V to form a large-scale British Atlantic First Fleet. When naming the fleet, the British authorities in Iceland deliberately avoided the sensitive term of the local fleet.
At about the same time that the British villain entered the Atlantic Ocean, the same class battleship originally built for the United Kingdom in the German port was in the final test. This battleship was personally named by the German head of state as the battleship of the Marshal Riddle, which was always given to The supreme naval commander who supported the head of state was an unprecedented comfort.
Interestingly, this British-funded German battleship became the first battleship to serve at the same time in a hostile country. It also had two class names at odds: Britain is called the villain class, and Germany is called the navy. Marshal level.
Germany finally has a new battleship that can fight with the fleet. At this moment, the short board of the high seas fleet is finally filled, and it becomes almost invulnerable.
This battleship is also equipped with a more powerful radar and fire control system, which can be used to fire at night at 20 kilometers away from the target you want to attack. At the same time, the armor protection level of this battleship has been slightly improved, weakening the armor of some unnecessary parts, and strengthening the configuration and number of air defense weapons.
Starting from the service of Marshal Riddle, the German navy entered a vacuum period when ships were launched: too much steel was occupied by the army, some frigates and patrol boats that were not necessary to be built were cut, and the high seas fleet will not be in the next six months The new ship was launched, and all the energy was put on the four aircraft carriers that were started at the same time.
In the future, the German Navy will have three overseas main fleets: the strongest Atlantic high seas fleet, with 5 aircraft carriers in active service as the core; the next-strong Arctic Ocean attack fleet will have 2 aircraft carriers; the weakest Mediterranean The fleet has 1 carrier.
However, in addition to the high seas fleet that has been formed and has outstanding achievements, the other two fleets are now only a skeleton of the personnel department. Even some tasks that should have been handed over to the Navy were completed by the Air Force Strategic Bomber Force under the command of Dick.
For example, the Soviet Baltic Fleet, which had been shrinking near Leningrad, was a German long-range strategic bomber unit that took off from Prussia during the night. The entire military port was wiped out by more than 300 butcher bombers in one fell swoop, and the dropped bomb let Lenin There was a blaze in the port of Göller. The Soviet-class battleship Belarus was hit and injured, so far it can only be nested in the port for maintenance.
At this time, the effort to maintain a huge fleet, but there is no other support force to support the shortcomings of this fleet has been revealed. The original steelmaking technology of the Soviet Union was not advanced. The direct consequence of barely launching several battleships was that the supporting dock facilities for repairing these battleships were backward. Once the ships were injured, they could not be repaired in a short period of time to continue to participate in the battle.
On the contrary, the US Navy, after being sneak attacked by Japan and sinking two aircraft carriers such as Enterprise, actually repaired the seriously wounded aircraft carrier Saratoga and participated in the Japanese navy in the naval battle off the Philippines. Fleet sneak attack. Although the German Navy has not received a complete assessment report for more than ten days after the naval battle, the Japanese Navy did indeed take a secret loss from the US Navy under unexpected circumstances.
To be honest, Akado now cares more about the Pacific battlefield than his own Eastern Front, because the elite attack of the 3 million Germans on the Eastern Front is not enough, but the Soviet Red Army whose defense has just been hit hard is definitely more than enough. He is more concerned about American industry. Whether the potential is completely inspired like the previous life.
It now appears that the industrial potential of the United States is indeed not to be underestimated, but the large German fleet as imagined to move south to the Atlantic Ocean has caused considerable pressure on the United States. Many South American countries have turned to selling raw materials to come to the bottom. Germany, which to a certain extent limits the industrial expansion of the United States.
However, in terms of oil, the United States still has an unshakable presence. After all, the German navy that sailed from the Middle East to the United States via the Mediterranean Sea did not dare to attack on a large scale, and Mexico and the United States ’domestic oil extraction can also meet the needs of American industrial production, so Many weapons of war were still produced at a terrible rate.
For example, the shipyards on both sides of the United States are desperately building aircraft carriers. There are as many as 14 aircraft carriers in the docks, which is almost twice the number of aircraft carriers under construction in Germany and Japan. At the same time, the United States has started mass production of this mature tank with improved production of m4 tanks. The monthly production has even approached 3,000.
But even so, the United States was still defeated by the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield. Because of the lack of support from naval combat ships, the United States abandoned Malaysia and the Philippines successively. The British squadrons deployed in Asia were completely annihilated, most of them were in The periphery of Hong Kong was sunk by the Japanese.
Then the battleship USS Scoundrel left the Indian Ocean. The British fleet remaining in the Indian Ocean could not cross the Straits of Malacca and threatened Japan's maritime traffic lines. The Japanese navy, which had lost its worries, began to go eastward, and even began to approach Australia, which was almost undefended.
The arrogant Japanese militarism leaders immediately felt that the victory of the war was on the horizon. They even regretted that the navy who did not use the advantage earlier killed the US Pacific Fleet to end the war. They even regretted listening to the army ’s words to provoke the powerful Soviet army. .
There is even an optimistic view in Japan that once the Japanese army captures Mid-Pacific and Wake Island and other central Pacific islands, the United States will humiliate and choose to sum up to end the entire Pacific War. By that time, a large amount of land in the entire Western Pacific and Asia-Pacific had become the pocket of the Japanese Empire.
Unfortunately, the arrogant Japanese Navy was immediately given a vivid and powerful education lesson by the US Navy: the only aircraft carrier in the United States was repaired and appeared in the Philippines offshore where it should not have appeared. A Japanese squadron sank 3 destroyers and 2 cruisers. An old Japanese battleship was also stranded in the offshore area of ​​the Philippines with serious injuries.
What makes the Japanese Navy even more annoying is that this flexible American fleet has broken through the siege of the main Japanese fleet and returned to Pearl Harbor, adding the only bright spot to the gloomy May of the US Navy.
The Japanese navy reacted angrily, and the commander of the Navy's combined fleet received fifty-six orders from the emperor, ordering him and Nan Yunzhong to lead the fleet, cover the Japanese army landing on Wake Island, and regain the initiative in the war. right.
If someone has studied the whole process of Japan ’s initiation of the Pacific War, it will find a very interesting phenomenon: Japan first rushed into Pearl Harbor in the United States in a hurry, then suddenly it seemed that it was not in a hurry, and began to concentrate on waste. Valuable time to compete in the South Pacific for islands such as the Philippines and Malaysia.
The main reason for this strange phenomenon is that the United States blocked Japan ’s oil, which led to Japan ’s need to go south to waste precious time competing for the few precious oil extraction areas on the islands of the Philippines and Malaysia. This is the main reason why Japan has slowed down the pace of war after rushing into Pearl Harbor.
At the same time, this also led to Japan ’s strategic route being completely calculated by the United States: Japan ’s route to march, the approximate time required is under the control of the Americans, so when the Midway battle, the Americans can actually be said to be Everything is in the hands of a strategic decisive battle. Even if the US Navy on Midway still fiascos, the Americans will have a certain victory in the next year.
Japan in this life has not been able to escape this tragic fate: the plan of the fifty-sixth general Yamamoto ’s sneak attack on Midway was put on hold indefinitely. The army is fully attacking the US defenders in the Philippines and Malaysia, hoping to bomb the Japanese navy. If you say that the Germans played an unexpected and wonderful process with a bad hand, then the Japanese spread out their first hand to fight against the Americans and win or lose.
In fact, the best chance for Japan is after the end of World War I, as long as it develops with peace of mind at that time, it will no longer provoke war, then its future situation will be many times better than that of Germany defeated in World War I, and it will bet on the victory of Jiawu In the war, Japan after gambling to win the Russo-Japanese War was too confident of his gambling.
Therefore, when the financial crisis came, the Japanese empire, which had originally held a good hand, pinned its national transport on a gamble, instead of controlling the Korean peninsula and Taiwan and occupying the Korean peninsula and Taiwan during the period of financial difficulties. In places such as Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao-Dalian, the Japanese empire that created the actual independence of the three eastern provinces once again took part in gambling, but this time, it was not a confused gambler, the Manchu government, or the isolated poor gambler, Tsarist Russia. America's gambling king, who has been sitting on the bank for a long time.
