Chapter 533 Unless God is asleep

"When I passed through Cape Verde, I felt a little worried!" Wang Xiu looked at the undulating waves in the distance and said leisurely. (Starter)

"Worried about what? Worried that the British will come to attack us? Cheng Dalong glanced at the meticulous German adjutant next to him, and couldn't help but smile, "When we were near St. Helena, those two British destroyers saw us from a distance and ran away. We have two super-class warships, plus an aircraft carrier and two cruisers, what is there to worry about such strength. Unless the British fleet comes, it will only be a feat under our guns! ”

Cheng Dalong shook his shoulders and glanced at the major rank epaulette of the German Navy uniform on his shoulder.

At the time of the handover with the Germans, the nearly 2,000 officers and men of the Pioneer Army who remained had been uniformed into German naval uniforms, and a group of German sailors boarded two battleships and the aircraft carrier on Chinese New Year's Eve to fill the vacancy after some of the soldiers left. In general, they are all Germans, but the Chinese New Year's Eve part of the work in the engine room and other parts are still officers and soldiers of the Pioneer Army. The Pioneer officers and men who had left had already returned aboard the four Keeling-class destroyers.

On the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, two hundred Italian Chinese New Year's Eve people are also familiar with the aircraft carrier that Mussolini has named the Aquila. When some of the Chinese New Year's Eve soldiers of the vanguard army had returned from the Italian Chinese New Year's Eve familiarizing themselves with the relevant operations, the Germans took their place.

The two aircraft carriers of the Germans have not been able to implement the problem of carrier-based aircraft for a long time because of the constant entanglement of the German high-level.

"For less than a hundred carrier-based aircraft, we need to maintain at least three production lines. The empire doesn't have that much money to splurge! Goering's excuse is also correct, carrier-based aircraft are Chinese New Year's Eve different from ordinary army aviation aircraft, and aircraft of the same type also need some separate production lines. For example, the BF-109, which was specially designed by the Germans for the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, not only thickened the main landing gear, added a tail hook, but also lengthened the wings a lot.

This is only a fighter plane, and the aircraft carrier also needs dive bombers, torpedo planes, reconnaissance planes, etc., so the cost of maintaining the expanded production line is very high.

However, the aircraft carrier brings the strategic commanding heights, and it cannot be less than the capital of innocence. Even Dönitz, who was a hard-line dismantling of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier in history and was bent on growing submarines, was influenced by the naval thinking of the Pioneer Army when communicating with the Pioneer Army, and began to change some of his concepts, began to attach importance to the aircraft carrier, and began to integrate the attack and defense of sea and air integration. At least the advantages of the aircraft's eye in the sky and speed cannot be ignored.

"We have carrier-based aircraft, which are cheap!" At this time, the copycat company came forward again, and Hitler was also moved.

During this period of air warfare with the British, the problem of insufficient range of aircraft always affected the Germans. The planes that increased the range were all from the late stage of World War II, and the profits were four times less, so Meng Xiang naturally would not stupidly throw out the latest models at once, and then encourage the Germans to pay attention to aircraft carriers.

"If there is an aircraft carrier, it can be presented in any part of the strait, and it can also go around to the west and south of Chinese New Year's Eve Britain, and you can freely choose the address of the attack. In the future, in the Mediterranean, in the Baltic Sea, and in the Western Ocean on Chinese New Year's Eve, aircraft attack actions can be flexibly placed. "The words of the copycat company 51 very tempted the Germans once.

There are more wars waiting for them in the future, and flexible support from aircraft carriers is indeed needed. And they only need to purchase this part of the carrier-based aircraft.

The dispute between the German navy and air force was over the distribution of resources, but wealth was somewhat worse. After the Germans occupied Europe, they looted for wealth. They still adhere to Lao Xi's predatory guiding philosophy, rather than business or integration.

Convergence is definitely not suitable, at that time the European countries had awakened to the concept of the state, where is it so easy to integrate, after two or three generations of operation, it is still about the same. But the Germans at this time absolutely did not have that energy. Operational, however, is feasible, but it still faces many difficulties, and it is not as convenient as predatory.

Plunder the wealth and resources back to Germany, where Chinese New Year's Eve population needs employment and the good life promised to them. You only need to be based in your own country to be invincible. There is no need to care about the life and death of other countries, and the task of saving the world is the business of Su Xiu, US imperialism and Superman.

It is precisely in this way that the concerted efforts of the Germans can persist in reaching the world. But in the end, the power of a country is still too weak. Even if the Germans had a huge amount of wealth, they still couldn't exchange it for more tanks and planes, and when they were finally defeated, they had a huge amount of wealth that had not yet been digested.

The wealth accumulated by Europe, which plundered the world for hundreds of years, is staggering, and the wealth amassed by the Germans when they cut their wool again is also staggering. After being plundered by the Americans and Soviet Russia, the remaining wealth became like a human treasure that became part of the impetus for Germany's rapid rise after World War II. Otherwise, without money, no amount of talent will be able to take advantage of it.

By this time, the Germans had plundered a lot of good tools from the French, Belgium, and Poland, but these were not quickly converted into production capacity. Steel, chemical and other resources are limited, and even industrial manufacturing capacity is limited, which means that the Germans hold the gold and silver of the Chinese New Year's Eve pen, but still can't exchange for tanks and planes.

In fact, it is not the advanced scientific research ability and massive wealth that means a strong Chinese New Year's Eve, and the huge Chinese New Year's Eve production capacity contained in Huaxia, as the world's factory in later generations, is also terrifying. It was precisely this role that Americans during World War II undertook, so they were particularly vigilant about the rise of China in later generations.

At this time, the Germans lacked this ability, and the three German armed forces were constantly arguing over whether to build tanks or planes or warships.

Because of his iron relationship with Lao Xi, Fatty Ge had a congenital advantage, and he rose up in the famous air force of World War II on Chinese New Year's Eve. But his strength has also suppressed the growth of other services. More manufacturing capacity and resources have been biased towards the Air Force, while the Army has always been strong, and only the Navy, which has been consuming extraordinarily Chinese New Year's Eve, has been growing very slowly.

This is also a matter of no form, and the result is limited production capacity. However, the presentation of copycat companies solves this problem. The copycat company can provide weapons in all aspects, and he only needs money, and even after dragging it to the vanguard, he can not even need money, he only needs the Germans to use part of their industrial production capacity for civilian industrial production. This can be done in some occupied areas. For example, the Czech Republic and Belgium may not be at ease when they are used to produce military products, but they are still used to produce civilian machines as usual, and the resistance of some enterprises is still not so strong.

"Bought it!" Recently, Lao Xi bought 200 carrier-based aircraft from Shanzhai Company and continued to renovate the Zeppelin aircraft carrier.

During the robbery in Europe, the greed of the fat man, who was desperate to loot art and wealth, was criticized by many people, and his extravagant and corrupt life was always unpopular among the high-level, and Lao Xi also took advantage of this to beat him. As the prestige of the elder grew, and the recognition of the German powers, Goering's importance declined considerably. Goering was a little unhappy, but he didn't do anything more.

This time, the Ark Royal-class aircraft carrier of the Vanguard Army carried a hundred carrier-based aircraft. In addition to the normal placement of aircraft, surplus aircraft are transported in the form of parts packaging.

Chinese New Year's Eve also ordered 100 aircraft, but these will be shipped directly from the Libyan sub-base. Even the remaining planes of the Germans were shipped from Greenland, and some of them had already been paid to the Germans, using still German designs.

This time, when the Germans came to pick up the cargo, they led some German naval forces and aircraft carrier operators who joined the training to take over the vanguard army to escort the fleet.

……

"Hans, how's it going?" Huang said a word of fluent German to a Luftwaffe lieutenant who was carefully inspecting the landing gear. The vanguard army had a lot of communication with the Germans, and there were many people who could speak German, and Major Huang Yanyang, who had taught himself German Chinese New Year's Eve, also came with the team this time.

"Very nice! These planes are not bad! "Hans. Ulrich. Rudel raised his head and looked up at his friend from training in Huaxia, he had finished his training exchange in Huaxia, and this time he took the opportunity to return to China.

He stood up, patted the wing of the Ju-87 next to him, and smiled: "Actually, flying on the sea is similar to that on land, but it is a little troublesome to identify the purpose of the target." When he was in China, he also received some training in flying at sea, and he also flew twice on this aircraft carrier with Huang Chaoyang, so he is no stranger to this.

"I didn't see that guy," Huang Chaoyang's mouth turned up, and he pointed to a Huaxia second lieutenant who was gesturing with two German pilots in the distance, and said: "It's that guy, when he first came to our HN, he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and he couldn't even distinguish between the top and bottom, and even worse, he was seasick." Once after taking off in a daze, I took the Chinese New Year's Eve Sea as the sky and planted it directly into the sea. ”

"I know him, his name is Leshui Zhang, no, it's Zhang Leshui. His flying skills are good, and I really can't tell that he even flies a dive bomber. Rudell laughed too.

"He's challenging himself! And he succeeded. The guy has a lot of perseverance. Huang Yiyang nodded appreciatively.

Zhang Leshui over there was a comparison with two German pilots, his German level was really not very good, the chicken and the duck spoke, and after a long time, no one understood.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ceping, who was checking the fixation of the fighter jets on the deck, came over and asked.

"The two Germans were pilots of reconnaissance aircraft, and they had previously trained to use Fetzelle's FI167 two-seater reconnaissance/torpedo aircraft. I'll give them a Stuka to use it as a scout, and it's very useful. But they just have to use Fitzelle. Zhang Leshui said with annoyance.

"Each has its own situation, and they are also responsible, and there are serious benefits to being serious." Xue Ceping smiled slightly, "When the time comes for the heavens to investigate, the Stuka will be opened, and they will drive their Fetzel, and they will have nothing to do with each other." ”

"It's like, these people are really wooden. The purpose of a reconnaissance plane is to conduct reconnaissance, and as long as timely and accurate intelligence information is obtained, what kind of aircraft is not the same? In a moment I drove my mount and competed with them. Zhang Leshui was not convinced.

……

"It's not normal." Wang Xiu frowned slightly, looking at the calm sea outside. Driving on the Western Ocean on Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a rare temporary calm, but Wang Xiu's heart was always unconvinced.

"After we entered the Western Ocean on Chinese New Year's Eve, the British never showed up, except for peeping from afar, which is too abnormal. They've already discovered our whereabouts, and they can't do nothing. This is not the style of the British. I'm afraid they are going to have some Chinese New Year's Eve moves. Wang Xiu said worriedly.

"What kind of Chinese New Year's Eve action, do they really want to run with elite troops to encircle and annihilate us?" Cheng Dalong joked.

"Possibly!" Wang Xiu's brows were not furrowed, and he subconsciously bit his lip and said, "If I were British, I would have to concentrate my military forces and destroy our two super-class warships first, so as not to overwhelm the British garrison Chinese New Year's Eve the huge Chinese New Year's Eve pressure brought by us after we joined the Germans." ”

Cheng Dalong's face was also solemn and said: "The peep of the British is really a bit like when the bandits stepped on it before, I'm afraid there will be real trouble this time." Then he asked, "Do you want us to tell Commander Chen?" ”

His is Long Wu, in order to avoid a group of people with the surname Long, Long Wu changed his surname to Chen. In this case, he was the fleet commander of the Vanguard Army, but he did not volunteer to join the German Navy, but intervened as an observer.

"They should know that otherwise they wouldn't have resupplied twice in a row on the way. The reason for sailing so slowly for so long was to make those Germans more proficient earlier. Wang Xiu said lightly. However, he was still worried in his heart, I was afraid that the British would not give up this time, and the attack would be a thunderous rage. They don't know if they can resist it?

"Of course, it also makes us more familiar with it, so we have to be ready. Now it's past the Canary Islands, and it's almost to the Strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean. Either before it passes, or after it's passed, to encircle and annihilate us, the Mediterranean fleet will definitely join. Wang Xiu said calmly.

……

"Christmas in the West is only a few days away, and it is no wonder that the Germans do not agree to instigate war at this time." Meng Xiang looked at the date and realized that it was almost the end of the year. This era did not have the Christmas enthusiasm of later generations in the West, and the traditional festivals that had always encouraged the revival of China in the joint theater had long forgotten this. This time, when the winter solstice was approaching, he received a reminder from Tang Mingyue, and Meng Xiang found out that it was almost Christmas in the West.

In this era, many Westerners obviously attached more importance to Christmas in the West than in later generations, and Germans were no exception. Lao Xi, who has already won the game, also hopes that after Christmas, he will start to organize the final attack. The generals and soldiers were also reluctant to fight at Christmas.

"Christmas? Why is there no Christmas in Huaxia? Meng Xiang was a little emotional. There has always been no unified belief in China, not those ethereal gods, and even the Confucian saints are not unified and believed in by all people. If there is a literary saint, there is a martial saint. There's really no way to find a unique Christmas day.

"The people of the country do not believe in the only god!" Tang Mingyue pinched Meng Xiang's somewhat sore shoulder behind her back, and said indifferently, "The only representative is **, and the mood of the Chinese people is the most unrestrained." The Western world seeks order in chaos, while China seeks balance in chaos and order. Therefore, not being able to do so is the only way to pursue. ”

"How did you learn philosophy lately?" Meng Xiang pressed Tang Mingyue's left hand on his shoulder, and asked with a smile on his head.

"The recent initial medical reform has made things much easier for Shantang. When I was fine, I read more Western philosophy books, and last year, that Sigmund Freud gave me some and I was very inspired. Tang Mingyue didn't withdraw her hand, her expression was as usual. She has taken care of Meng Xiang's life for more than a year, and both parties are already familiar with each other, and the familiar one is almost the last step that has not been taken.

But feeling that her mother was a concubine, Tang Mingyue had already made up her mind that even if she didn't marry, she would never give anyone else a concubine. Tang Mingyue was always unwilling to take the last step when she had no name.

But at the beginning, Meng Xiang kept saying "If you don't drive away the Japanese invaders, you will never get married", although he dismissed some boring huggers, but he also tied his hands and feet. Tang Mingyue said, "I can wait!" It made Meng Xiang almost burst into tears, and he hated his original decision inexhaustibly. But he already had a series of plans for people in mind, and he had been preparing for this for a long time. Although he felt a little guilty about Tang Mingyue's expectations, he would never change it easily for the sake of this matter.

"Don't look forward to it for a long time, the day of finding someone to pay off your debts is coming!" Meng Xiang held Tang Mingyue's left hand tightly, stared at this woman who had taken care of him day and night for more than a year, and secretly made up his mind.

……

"Today is the winter solstice, eat dumplings!" Zhang Leshui took the dumplings made by the fat old Li in the kitchen, sang like a shopkeeper, and sent them to the tables of the officers and soldiers.

"This is a dumpling? Dumplings in China? Walter asked, touching a dumpling on the plate with his fork.

"Yes, that's dumplings. However, when eating it, it is best to use chopsticks and not a fork. In our hometown, forks are used for farm work and fork dung. Zhang Leshui, who had just come around, heard Walter's muttering and couldn't help but interject, but the last sentence was muttered in Chinese.

Walter glanced at Zhang Leshui, still a little unconvinced by this second lieutenant of the vanguard army who won them in the flight test with them. Hearing his Chinese, I couldn't help but think about trying to figure it out.

Xue Ceping, who was smiling at the same table, gestured the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Use this, there will be more atmosphere!" Then, I picked up a dumpling at once.

Ernst next to him also picked up a pair of chopsticks and tried to pick up dumplings, but he couldn't get them on without leaving his hands. In vain, it took him two pairs of chopsticks to subdue a dumpling and bring it to his mouth. But just about to take a bite and lose it.

"We are so proficient in playing these skills, no wonder our flying skills are so good!" Ernst couldn't help but sigh in frustration.

"It's really nothing! It's just that practice makes perfect, and hands are familiar. Xue Ceping smiled. Just like Commander Meng's "education should start from the baby", every Chinese person starts from the baby and begins to use chopsticks, can they be proficient? In the same way, the pilots of the vanguard army are not qualified when they are trained to fly a thousand.

The loss of aircraft on Chinese New Year's Eve, massive fuel consumption, and countless ground handling services have created the superb flying skills of the Pioneer Army pilots. Although the Air Force of the Vanguard Army has only been established for two or three years, the pilots who can make perfect have been honed little by little by relying on flying at least four hours per person per day.

"Proficiency is a shortcut to success." Ernst understood Xue Ceping's meaning on Chinese New Year's Eve and nodded his head.

"We can't use chopsticks proficiently, but we have forks, which is just as convenient." Walter quickly forked a dumpling with a fork, and smiled at Xue Ceping with satisfaction, "Fork tool, this is the most professional." ”

"To convenience, chopsticks can have the function of a fork like that!" Xue Ceping also heard that this Walter meant that during the day, Zhang Leshui and them were arguing over the reconnaissance plane, and even discussed the matter for a while, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, broke the dumpling with chopsticks, and picked it up more easily, and said, "A pair of chopsticks can have more functions, eliminating the trouble of changing knives and forks back and forth." The key to a tool is how people use it. In the end, our ultimate goal is to eat the tools in our mouths. ”

……

"This time, I don't want the tool to slip away!" Cunningham said solemnly. This time he was named the commander of the interception. Just completed the miracle of Taranto, the Italian Chinese New Year's Eve can not shrink the Navy. The Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar were again stuck by the British. The Mediterranean is temporarily fine, but with the arrival of two super-battleships, the British mainland will fall into a huge crisis on Chinese New Year's Eve. The British had no choice but to fight to the death. This time the main forces of the Mediterranean Fleet were withdrawn.

"Even if we only have a few destroyers dangling off the coast of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they will definitely not dare to sail half a step out of the harbor. They're scared! "Somerville is reassured about the peace of the Mediterranean.

However, he was silent for a moment before asking, "What if the Germans rush to help?" ”

"Baron Tovey will contain the main German forces in the North Sea and the Chinese New Year's Eve in the British Channel, while General Ramsay will fortify near Brest. Our Fantasy-class superbattleship can hold them back, and the rest is up to us. Cunningham, a famous general of the World War II generation, was also a little nervous at this time, and in the end, they would face two super battleships. In a one-on-one duel, none of the British battleships was an opponent, so they could only attack them in groups.

"They can't run." Cunningham finally said resolutely, "Unless God is asleep!" ”
