Chapter 1416: China and Germany

"Isn't it a little early for us to go to war now?" After Qin Yue glanced at the memorandum of the meeting handed over by Xu Jie, he said with some hesitation. Since the end of the Iran War, Qin Yue has directly served as the chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, and this time Xu Jie agreed to send the Air Force to assist the Entente countries first, but the specific plan must be formulated through the Air Force General Staff, and how to mobilize that force will be mobilized will be completed below.

"To be honest, it's a bit early, and I wish the Entente and the Allies were both defeated, but time is running out. The situation at sea has changed, and the situation in Europe is already very unstable. Xu Jie smiled and said. Although his tone was flat, he told Qin Yue that this matter had been decided!

"The situation at sea is not good, why are you looking for the navy, what are you looking for me?" Qin Yue's eyes were a little strange, and he muttered in his heart. However, he would not say this kind of thing, but obediently took out some of the information of the aviation units that Huaxia could mobilize recently, and asked the latter to make a final decision.

"Well, I know your doubts, and here I will explain them to you. Our help is to make it impossible for Britain to die, so that the war can continue, not to say that the Germans will be solved once and for all, and we have no strength or intention to do so. All we can do now is to improve the environment in the United States and Britain so that they can take some positive action. Okay, that's it, hurry up and handle this matter, you call Su Mo in later, I have something to say to him. Xu Jie said that Qin Yue still didn't understand a little. Well, but the above speaks, he only executes. After going out again, he called Su Mo in by the way.

Compared to Qin Yue, who was a little 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 was going to Europe soon, joining the Entente fleet, and his position was Huaxia's naval commissioner to the Entente. It's going to be a battlefield, and if you're unlucky, the result will be unimaginable. Judging from internal channels, the Entente, which had been pushed to the end, seemed to be intent on fighting for it. This is a rare opportunity, Huaxia must send people to see the routines and actual combat effectiveness of the Germans to prepare for future battles, and Su Mo, as the best aircraft carrier commander of the new generation. Naturally, you need to go to the battlefield to actually learn about it.

In fact, Huaxia has been pushing the Entente and the Allies to conduct a decisive naval battle, after all, Huaxia will have to face the German fleet sooner or later, and it is undoubtedly a good choice to let the Entente consume the other party before that, of course, from a strategic point of view, the Entente is also the best choice at this time. If you give up the last chance to fight and choose to retreat, once the Allies rely on the French base on the west coast of nearly 20 aircraft carriers, it will be difficult for the Allied transport ships to send supplies to Britain, so after Cunningham put forward a suggestion, both Nimitz and Pound agreed to this plan, which also made Xu Jie feel very pleased!

Since everyone is about to jump into a trench, then the necessary help is naturally indispensable, so Xu Jie's first round of support to the Entente is to send 5 Shicha Falcon air wings to Europe, to give a shot of strength to the Allied Navy's land-based aviation force that has been exhausted, and the combat effectiveness of 500 P51 fighters is definitely not weak. After being replaced with Huaxia's new liquid-cooled engine, the performance of this batch of past Shicha Falcon fighters is close to that of P51B, and the performance can suppress FW190A! At the same time, Xu Jie gave a fuse to the Allied fleet, and with the P51B's fairly good range, when the Allied fleet was chased by the other side and ran all over the street, this air force still had a chance to save their lives!

Xu Jie was also deeply afraid that the Americans would not know what it meant, so they threw these precious fighters into a frontal battlefield like a meat grinder, and specially added that this is a unit of naval aviation and has very rich experience in naval operations. Moreover, if the Allied navy had a major operation, if Huaxia was notified one week in advance, Huaxia could urgently transfer about two wings of planes from Vladivostok to the city, and the specific route would be thought out. Head north, then turn east to Alaska and fly all the way to the East Coast of the United States! This oil burned, Xu Jie was moved by his sincerity! I don't know if the No. 100 aviation gasoline is worth a lot in this era!

As for the valuable aircraft carrier formation, Xu Jie still has no intention of dispatching now, his is almost after the Allied fleet and the Allied fleet fight a wave. The Chinese Atlantic Fleet then fought side by side with the U.S. fleet to reopen the North Atlantic route. The main naval force entered the Indian Ocean and launched an attack on the Ottoman Empire at any time with the Chinese Army in northern Iran. Before it can completely tear its face, Huaxia also needs to withdraw all the personnel within the Confederate countries, and this work will take time.

Just as China was preparing for war, the Germans also felt the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air. Judging from the Chinese embassy in the Allies and some of the things that have been done recently, Huaxia will eventually go to the opposite side of Germany! The Germans knew the power of Huaxia, and once Huaxia completed its war preparations, it would definitely have a subversive impact on the war situation. "From now on, we have at most half a year to solve the problems of Europe, and if we fail to seize this last chance, then we will be the enemy of the most powerful alliance in the world, and France and Britain must die!" At the emergency meeting of the Supreme Command, Wilhelm II's tone revealed a sense of determination, and there was a hint of fear hidden in it! This time Germany is in even more trouble than in the First World War!

"It seems that our plan is going to be advanced, the mission of the Raeder fleet in the South Atlantic has been accomplished, and the rest of the tasks will be handed over to the submarine, I need him to bring the fleet back intact. What do you think? At the end of the meeting, Count Spee asked his student, Count Lukner, for advice, and he now wanted to follow up as soon as possible. Although he knew that it would be better to delay for a while, judging from the letter of thanks sent by the army, there was already a shortage of supplies for the Entente ** team in France, which naturally could not ignore the role of the Raeder fleet. If there were no external causes, Count Spee agreed that Raeder would continue to fight in the south, but now that the Kaiser had spoken, the German Navy's plan of action should be accelerated!

As Cunningham inferred, the German fleet deployed throughout the South Atlantic was already very strong, and no one would ignore the combat effectiveness of these warships and the more than 300 aircraft of various kinds carried on them. Of course. Those annoying submarines remain.

"Actually, it can be a little later, General Raeder's fleet has not yet run out of supplies, and the new wave of reinforcements from the Americans has not yet gone south, which is somewhat in conflict with the division plan we began to develop. We've worked hard to get a tactical victory, and if we can't turn it into a strategic victory, there will always be some reluctance, and the air force we have replenished the Raeder fleet is ready, as long as the ships are transferred. There are no major losses on the main battleship, and the replenishment will be fast. Count Luknall said.

"Raeder's fleet will stay in the Atlantic for another week at most! It's a death order! I'll get the confidential officer ready to send the report immediately, all that's left is to prepare for the fleet sortie, kid, the most critical moment is coming, and we must learn to give up something for the sake of this battle. His student's answer made Count Spee a little embarrassed, and after some hesitation he relented.

After returning to the island, the German Navy was in full swing. With the exception of the Raeder fleet, the remaining fleets have almost completely rested and replenished, and it can be said that their combat effectiveness has reached its peak. And to the surprise of the German Navy, the German super aircraft carrier, the lead ship of the Kaiser-class aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of more than 40,000 tons, was finally completed at the German Navy's Mediterranean shipyard on the island of Crete, and soon completed the training task, according to the current schedule, the Kaiser can be put into battle before the decisive battle breaks out, this aircraft carrier can carry about 3 squadrons of twin-engine aircraft, if it is purely about the amount of firepower projection. The commissioning of a Caesar-class aircraft carrier will not increase its combat effectiveness much, but the key is that the various electronic warfare aircraft and reconnaissance planes on it have greatly improved the soft confrontation capability of the German Navy, so that the German naval aviation has an electronic warfare force that can accompany the attack of the air group.

The Germans had a total of 19 fleet aircraft carriers (including the Austro-Hungarian fleet), and the Spaniards have not yet decided whether to participate in this decisive battle. This made the Germans very dissatisfied, but in compensation, Spain was willing to increase the army and air force stationed in France, and the Allied fleet almost continued the initial deployment, and the entire fleet was divided into four detachments, and the newly commissioned Caesar-class aircraft carriers were directly allocated to Count Spee. In addition to this there will be 7 aviation cruisers (including the remaining 3 aviation cruisers of the Kranker fleet. The Germans equipped these ships with aircraft. A total of 26 aviation warships will have more than 2,200 carrier-based aircraft of various types! Among them, the proportion of FW190 aircraft is as high as more than 6%. The remaining 2 percent are JU90 torpedo aircraft, and about 10% are twin-engine aircraft!

Although the Germans saw the formidable combat potential of twin-engine aircraft, the number of twin-engine aircraft in the German fleet was not very large, subject to aircraft-carrying carriers. It's more about undertaking various support tasks. Of course, there were also twin-engine bombers with guided bombs in them, which were to be used as a killer weapon for the Germans at the last critical moment to completely destroy the main warships of the opposing side. In order to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier fleet, Germany and Austria have come together nearly 100 destroyers and small warships of various types, and many of these destroyers are equipped with centimeter-wave radars with relatively good performance and deployed on the periphery to be used as radar sentry ships. In addition to this, there were 2 dozen cruisers of various types and 1 dozen battleships to guard the left and right.

In addition to these main fleets, the Germans also equipped the fleet with a large number of non-combat auxiliary warships, such as various oil tankers, tugboats, and hospital ships. One of the most special ships is the camouflage ship known as the target in the German Navy, this kind of ship is actually a camouflage aircraft carrier changed from a large civilian ship, with a huge flight deck on it, and some wooden planes are arranged, these warships are fake targets, waiting for the other party to take the bait, because the speed is slow, so the German high seas fleet has 5 targets are organized into a separate team to act, which can attract the opponent to attack naturally, if not, the loss will not be very large.

In addition to the preparation of the naval fleet, the land-based aviation units under the German High Seas Fleet also began to move, to be honest, except for the attack on Corsica, the pressure on the German Navy's land-based aviation regiment was not great, and it can even be said that the German and Austrian air forces did not exert all their strength in the war against France, and the Luftwaffe and naval aviation, which had always had spare strength, had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely push away the opponent in a wave, and the air force had already overstretched the Allied air force in Europe through long-term attrition. And the preparation of the Navy has been completed. Just before the fleet made the final preparations before departure, the 3 air corps of the German Navy began to maneuver towards Spain, Portugal and the islands on the outskirts of the Strait of Gibraltar!

Hundreds of planes maneuvered to these places every day, and naturally it was impossible to conceal the intelligence networks of the Allied countries in the local areas, and such a large-scale movement would not only be carried out by the planes, but also by other units that provided maintenance and support for the aircraft. The movement of a large number of ships and people immediately saturated the capacity of certain ports and transit stations! According to the intelligence sent by the intelligence system, the Americans finally realized that the other side was ready to move! This time it's not a small fight like in the South Atlantic! This is a sign before the dragon of the High Seas Fleet goes to sea!

The Entente found that their actions had to be brought forward, and the American and British fleets began to assemble from various ports to the front, and carrier-based aircraft units, which had been used on land as air reserves, began to return to the carriers. But at this time, there was a sudden accident, the commander of the French Navy, Darlan, suddenly put forward a proposal at this juncture to ask the French fleet to go out to deal with the Raeder fleet in the South Atlantic, which made the American and British ** officers feel very surprised and dissatisfied!

"What the hell do the French want to do? The one who made such a proposal at this time was simply an accomplice of the Germans! They are splitting the Entente fleet! They are evading their responsibilities! They should all be sent to the gallows! Churchill was furious when he received the news!

But the French say that because of the disruption of the South Atlantic route, their supplies have dropped to about 70%. Even the supply of part of the rear army began to decline. They were very dissatisfied with our actions, so Admiral Darlan raised the slogan that the French fleet needed to solve this problem on its own. A well-timed reminder from a subordinate left Churchill speechless, after all, the incident was fundamentally caused by the abandonment of French interests by the United States and Britain.
