Chapter 1063: Where Did They Come From
"I dare to swear, in my grandfather's name and Allah, the warships of the Huaxia really did not pass through the canal!" Mehammad swore an oath, but his eyes were on the pocket of Smith, who was dressed in Arabic clothes.
"Let me ask one last time, no matter what happened before, did the warships of the Huaxia people really not pass through that canal?" Federal agent Smith twrung the tip of a stack of green bills in his pocket, and Franklin's face seemed to be full of smiles.
A Chinese fleet suddenly appeared in the Mediterranean, dealing a fatal blow to the Americans who led the Tunisian campaign. The US intelligence services were once again greatly disgraced and were pushed to the forefront of the anti-black cauldron.
At this time, both the FBI and the Strategic Intelligence Agency actively rushed over, trying their best to find evidence of their innocence or the guilt of others.
Although the U.S. intelligence agencies were not aware of the arrival of the Chinese fleet, they needed to know at least how they came to be.
Tragedy has already happened, but it is always necessary to know the cause and effect so that you will not make similar mistakes in the future.
Therefore, the Americans went around to find out the origin of the Huaxia fleet that suddenly appeared.
It is obviously impossible to originate in the Mediterranean, not to mention that the German and Italian Mediterranean fleets have been stared at by Britain and the United States, and it is difficult to break through the British and American interceptions.
The Mediterranean Sea is a relatively closed sea.
The only links to the outside world are the Strait of Gibraltar leading to the Atlantic Ocean, the Suez Canal to the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, and the Turkish Canal to the more closed Black Sea.
The Strait of Gibraltar was out of the question, the Allies guarding it had multiple surveillances here, and now it was difficult for even German submarines to pass through, let alone a fleet.
It is also impossible on the other side of the Turkish Strait, not to mention that it is difficult to run such a fleet out of the closed Black Sea, and even if there is a Turkish Strait where the US military and China are confronted, it is difficult to pass through.
Although Huaxia stopped here, in order to prevent a surprise attack by Huaxia, the Americans blocked almost the entire Turkish Strait with mines, plus heavy artillery erected along the strait. It is difficult for even destroyers to operate in the straits. Not to mention a fleet.
The most likely destination for this Chinese fleet is the Suez Canal.
The Allies immediately activated intelligence networks in Egypt and elsewhere to find out the truth.
People from Britain and the United States in Egypt were forced to evacuate early, and even those who stayed were quarantined, and they would not be too involved in those military secret areas. But under the long-term operation of the British for hundreds of years, it is natural that there will be a lot of dark chess.
Even with pounds and dollars, the Allies were able to bribe many locals to provide information.
The migration of China has lagged far behind the footsteps of the Chinese chariots, especially in areas such as the Middle East.
Although there is an army and a construction corps. But in many areas, some of the work is done with the help of some locals, even the Suez Canal. Without long-term familiarity, it is impossible to control this major artery.
Locals who are in key locations can learn about the canal's every move and understand the value of the news.
"Oh, I figured it out. On two occasions, the Chinese included the entire canal in a military restricted area, and even we had to avoid it. Know that it was night, and even in some high places, it was difficult to see the details there. Mahmoud spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Smack!" A stack of Franklin arrived.
"In the light, it seemed that the silhouette of a large ship could be seen, the largest of which was almost larger than the Ark Royal. And there are a lot of big ships, it's simply a fleet. Some of these ships have huge shadows of naval guns, definitely battleships. Mahmoud quickly added.
"Finished?" Smith twisted the few dollars he had left in his pocket. His face was gloomy, as if it was about to condense frost.
"That's all!" Mehammad squinted at his hand. After swallowing hard, it moved to his face. Said with a smile.
He's a competent intelligence broker who knows when to ask for a big deal and when to stop.
Even if the Allies didn't fight back, he still didn't want to offend the British and American agents.
On the one hand, he will not get along with the dollar and the pound, and on the other hand, it is better to live faster than to spend money if he has money. It is difficult for the ruthless British and American agents to break through the blockade of Huaxia, but it is easy to deal with him, an old oilman of the Gu family. In his lifetime, he has seen at least 30 ways to get a family out of this world completely.
Although there was an eyebrow, it was not finalized, and Smith was still slightly disappointed.
He knew that this old Egyptian man was already the most well-informed, and since he only knew about this, it seemed that under the strict blockade of the Chinese people, it was unlikely that others would get detailed information.
"If you think of anything in the future, contact me again!" Smith split the remaining dollar bills in his pocket in two, tucked half back into his inner pocket, then stuffed the other half into the collar of the smiling old Egyptian man, patted his thin chest lightly, gave him a warning look, and then drifted away.
……
"We can only tentatively conclude that part of the warships of the African fleet of the Chinese entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal." Donovan, the director of the Strategic Intelligence Agency, looked at his old classmate.
With the help of his classmate Roosevelt, he received a lot of power from Hoover, but it also meant a lot of trouble. The intelligence problem of the Chinese people is even more of a big trouble in trouble, so that he can avoid it and keep planting it in it.
"But Raymond has been entangled with that Chinese African fleet. For this battle of Tunisia, the 5th Fleet even organized another battle, and the opponent's firepower did not weaken in the slightest. Leahy next to him frowned and shook his head constantly.
Spruance's report is on his desk.
The Chinese fleet was no longer confined to the vicinity of the Gulf of Aden, and the scope of their activities was getting bigger and bigger. They can be found everywhere in the vast waters of the Seychelles and the Maldives.
Even without the help of the power of the army aviation, their naval aviation still performed well, and their other warships are also becoming more and more proficient, the 5th fleet has already fought more than a dozen battles with them, large and small, and the two sides have won and lost each other, and there is no shadow that they are novices in the navy.
Even though the Fifth Fleet had suffered heavy losses, with the assistance of the Second Fleet, the help of the British, Indian and South African fleets, and the unified command of Spruance, the smartest man in the US Navy, the strength of the Fifth Fleet was not weaker than in its heyday.
"They're tougher than the Japanese!" Spruance gave the fleet a high rating, but they didn't think they were so strong that they could ignore the existence of the 5th Fleet.
He didn't think that the Chinese fleet could fight hard with the 5th Fleet in the Indian Ocean, and at the same time still be able to draw the main force to the Mediterranean.
"If that were the case, I would have annihilated the Chinese fleet near the Maldives a long time ago!" When Spruance heard of the events in the Mediterranean, he immediately gathered his main forces, and even Somerville's British fleet joined in and launched an attack on the main force of the Chinese fleet hovering near the Maldives. Both sides suffered damage, but it was still difficult to help the opponent, which also proved that the main force of the African fleet of China still remained in the Indian Ocean.
"It's not like a jamming fleet sent out, otherwise it wouldn't have made the shrewd Cunningham's Mediterranean fleet suffer." Leahy shook his head again.
If it only interferes with the fleet, it will be difficult for even the British Mediterranean Fleet to break through.
But the reality was that the British Mediterranean Fleet led by Marshal Cunningham, who had come to the aid of the Americans, was taken by surprise by the Chinese fleet in the waters between Malta and Tunisia. After 1 heavy cruiser and 3 destroyers were sunk, 1 aircraft carrier was heavily damaged, and the British fleet withdrew to Malta, the Chinese fleet let go of the British and began to hunt down many American ships in the Tunisian waters, and directly shelled Tunisia and other coastal cities, and even Chinese troops began to land in those weakly defended coastal areas.
"Do they have new reinforcements? But where did they come from? Leahy didn't shake his head this time, but looked at Donovan with a headache.
To this day, the Americans still do not know how much China's military strength is.
The Chinese people always think that they have a chance to win in the United States, and suddenly new hole cards appear.
Not to mention that this time the Americans' battle for Tunisia was overturned by China's land and air cards, even the navy that the Americans considered to be the most powerful in China became somewhat uncertain under the new main warships that continued to emerge in China.
Now Huaxia is around the Philippines in the South China Sea, and there are still 2 aircraft carriers and 1 battleship loitering.
In the vicinity of Australia, there was also an aircraft carrier and a battleship patrolling.
From the Japanese mainland to the vicinity of Alaska, at least 1 aircraft carrier and 2 battleships were also active.
Near Hawaii, where the fighting has not stopped, at least four aircraft carriers and three battleships are fighting against the siege of the main force of the US Pacific Navy.
It is said that the shadows of 3 aircraft carriers and 2 battleships have also been found along the coast of China.
The African fleet in the Indian Ocean, according to Spruance they deduced, had at least 5 aircraft carriers and 4 battleships.
There are so many warships that even the U.S. Navy finds it difficult to find, and there may be others that have not been detected.
This is evidenced by the fact that at least 2 aircraft carriers and 2 battleships suddenly appeared in the Mediterranean naval battle.
"Where did they come from? Transferred from elsewhere, or newly served? "Americans urgently need to get to the bottom of these key questions. (To be continued.) )
