"Here's our chance!" Leahy excitedly said to Roosevelt, "We have discovered a large naval fleet of the Chinese in the Indian Ocean!" ”

"How's the German Navy doing?" Roosevelt looked at the strength of the detected Chinese naval fleet, pondered for a moment, and then asked.

He understood what Raisi meant, after the defeat in the Philippines after the typhoon, the US Navy has always wanted to find the fault of the Chinese Navy and use a big victory to wash away the shame.

However, the Chinese Navy has been operating in the coastal waters, and the support of the Chinese air force for the coastal navy has made the US Navy not have much certainty of victory. Moreover, the loss of naval strength in the Pacific is not small, especially the loss of air power, and it is very likely that it will be another failure to directly and rashly challenge.

With the British and German navies losing both, it was precisely when the US Navy took the initiative in Europe that the US top brass was reluctant to transfer naval forces from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

After all, Europe is likely to gain far more than Asia. With the British navy, which was the strongest point of the United Kingdom, becoming less and less effective, the Allied maritime command in Europe was tilted in favor of the United States. At this time, it is not only a matter of taking advantage of the opportunity to take the position, but also the time has come to counterattack the German Navy.

The counteroffensive on German land could not be carried out without the support of sea forces.

On top of that, the German Navy had previously shrunk the activities of large warships due to fuel shortages. The Americans, who have been calculating the German oil problem, know that this is a critical moment to gain the initiative at sea, so the strategy at sea is also to put Europe first and then Asia.

At that time, the United States had already abandoned Japan, held the Philippines, maintained the last springboard, waited for the solution of the European problem, and it was not too late to return to deal with China. Therefore, except for the fact that the Philippines sent 2 aircraft carriers when it planned to harass the coastal areas of China, the main naval forces of the Americans in the Atlantic Ocean did not move on a large scale at that time.

Whether it is Japan's mainland waters, Southeast Asian waters, or Australia's coastal waters, the Huaxia Air Force, which is equipped with advanced fighters, has prevented the Pacific Navy, which has not yet made up its strength, from getting a good chance of counterattacking. This strengthened the Americans' determination to get Europe done first.

During this period, although the Allies did not make much progress on land. But on the ocean. The inferiority of the Germans became more and more obvious.

In terms of the number of battleships, the German navy was overwhelming. Even those sunk in the fight with the British, they now have 3 H-class battleships, 3 Yamato-class battleships, 2 Bismarck-class battleships, and 2 Nagato-class and 1 German-class pocket battleship.

But in this era, aircraft carriers have risen. The Germans, with only 4 aircraft carriers, were clearly unable to compete with dozens of Allied aircraft carriers in Europe. With the addition of 2 Italians, it is not used at the top.

With more and more advanced fighters, even those light aircraft carriers and escort carriers of the Allies can inflict heavy damage on these steel giants from a distance.

At Cape Roca and the Second Battle of Jutland, Germany had the upper hand one after another, but in the English Channel, the German navy suffered a lot of losses.

With the massive influx of American aircraft carriers. The Germans began to suffer from the lack of air power in the North Sea and the English Channel, as well as in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Yamato-class battleship was surrounded by 5 Allied capital aircraft carriers and 6 light aircraft carriers in the Atlantic, and sank along with the 1 Royal Ark-class aircraft carrier that escorted it.

In addition to those sunken, even among the battleships that existed, there were 2 Yamato-class battleships and 2 Bismarck-class battleships that were attacked by Allied aircraft carriers due to slightly weaker air defense, and were seriously injured and stopped in the harbor. If it is not only responsible for coastal defense. The Nagato-class and German-class, with poor air defense, also followed in the footsteps of the sunken old battleships.

In light of this. The 2 former dreadnought battleships and the 4 Bavarian-class battleships bought from Meng Xiang, except for 2 were sunk. The others were also withdrawn from the battle sequence, used as training ships and dismantled, so as not to occupy valuable naval personnel places.

In the same way, other old battleships captured from other countries were also dismantled by the Germans, who looked down on them.

Even their Yamato-class battleships were sunk by Allied aircraft carriers, and the Germans, who had a slightly weaker naval background, did not dare to risk these old battleships.

The weakness of the German navy and the lack of self-care of the Luftwaffe to provide effective support to the navy were one of the reasons why the Allies were able to counterattack the continent from Sicily and Normandy.

Even though the Germans have always been at the forefront of the world in fighter technology, the inferiority of piston fighters and the number of pilots makes them eaten to death by the Americans. The only chance to surpass in qualitative change was still suppressed by the Allies because of the misuse of jet fighters by the Germans and the difficulty of rapid popularization of numbers. Even if you don't take into account the contradictions with the Navy, you can't take into account the Navy.

Like the Navy's strategy, the Americans' air power was preceded by Europe and then Asia.

The British surrendered the Allied air command early on. Therefore, even though the sky in the Philippines is tight, the top level of the United States, who believes that there will be no major accidents in the Philippines, still does not massively transfer European air forces to continue to put pressure on the Germans. In particular, most of the aerial bombing force was concentrated in Europe.

The Americans also carried out large-scale bombing on the territory of China three times, but they were either quickly intercepted by the fighters of the Chinese people, or they were routed by the air defense weapons on the territory of China.

Thanks to the radar superiority of the base, Huaxia fighters and anti-aircraft firepower have always taken the lead, and the Americans have been deflated many times.

"As long as we don't block the weapons transportation channels of copycat companies and others, even if we blow up all the industries of the Huaxia people, it will not pose much threat to Huaxia!" At the suggestion of many high-ranking US officials, the Americans finally stopped this kind of move, which did not outweigh the losses, and the means of dealing with China shifted to targeting the weapons channel.

The financial war waged by the Americans is aimed at reducing the number of weapons purchased by China by depleting China's coffers.

In the case of other ways to deal with the Chinese, the American bombers naturally aimed at the Germans. Especially after getting the exact news that the Germans were developing nuclear weapons, the bombing of the Germans accelerated the pace.

Meng Xiang is also happy to see this, and even some news is sold by Skynet.

Even the Americans' nuclear program has been continuously sabotaged by Meng Xiang and has not succeeded until now, let alone the more nationalist Germans.

The Japanese have fallen, Italy and Britain and France have no time to take care of themselves, the Soviets and Russians also have no energy for research, other countries do not have such strength, and only the United States and Germany are committed to nuclear weapons. As long as these two countries are stuck, Huaxia, which has already made achievements in nuclear weapons, will naturally be a dominant one. This is also the ultimate confidence of Meng Xiang's expansion to the world, even if the Germans intervene, so their nuclear facilities are constantly bombed, accidents are frequent, and even the progress of the Americans is not as good as the progress.

With the loopholes in the sky, even their ordinary industrial plants are constantly being bombed, which is also what Meng Xiang is happy to see.

The Germans had to resort to copycat companies for help, or they got rid of the copycat companies and cooperated with Huaxia, so that a large number of technical personnel flowed to Huaxia, the only peaceful Allied country, and there was no doubt that the biggest beneficiary was Huaxia.

Like the weakened Luftwaffe and navy, the greater the industrial losses of the Germans, the less threat they posed to China in the future.

And the more Germany weakened, the sooner the door to Europe would be opened.

China's actions in Africa were also actions of last resort when the door of Europe was blocked by the Germans.

This time, it was decided to first pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, and use the sea and land to plan for southern Africa and the Horn of Africa in the east.

Although some warships can be conjured out of thin air, it is easy to arouse suspicion by directly conjuring them, and a cover is needed, and the training of the ocean is more conducive to the growth of the Chinese navy.

Starting from Australia and Southeast Asia, the long journey was naturally noticed by Britain and the United States.

The British were still nervous that they would attack India, adding to India's woes, which was already under attack on three sides. But after discovering that they were only passing by, they began to worry about the situation in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and even worried about East Africa, but they were never aware of China's intentions against South Africa.

However, the sight of the appearance of the Chinese fleet near the Gulf of Aden already made the British nervous. Churchill immediately went to the Americans to discuss these matters.

Leahy immediately realized that the opportunity to teach Huaxia a lesson had come.

The surroundings of East Africa were already beyond the reach of China's powerful native air force, and the immature navy of China alone could impress both the British and the Americans.

It was only a preliminary reconnaissance, and 2 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers and 7 cruisers in China had been detected, which also made Roosevelt have to pay attention to it, and he didn't want any accidents to happen, so he asked about the German Navy, worried about the impact of the transfer of troops from Europe on the Germans, or worried that this operation was a joint operation between Germany and China.

"The German Navy is no longer able to shrink, and we have enough forces to deal with both the German and Chinese Navy!" Leahy replied confidently.

"Are we taking advantage of this opportunity to attract more Huaxia naval forces? Or also lead the Chinese Navy out in the Pacific Ocean? This time, since they have always been conservative, they have come out of the ocean, which is a signal that they want to come out of the ocean. This may be a sign of their self-confidence, but it is definitely a good opportunity for us! Roosevelt nodded with a smile after listening to Leahy's general estimate and introduction of the naval forces of the two sides. (To be continued.) )
