readx;?“ In fact, judging from the current situation, Austria-Hungary itself has fallen into a crisis, if there is no external force to intervene, Austria-Hungary will eventually fall apart, the continuous war has exhausted the vitality of the country, and the dualistic political constitution makes the country in danger of splitting! A considerable part of Austria's armed forces are in the Middle East, and Hungary's local power has a tendency to split, and from the perspective of strength, we can theoretically help the Habsburgs to suppress it, but I think everyone knows the risks involved. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info??.? 'If you don't make a good fuss, something big will happen. ”

Raeder said.

The problems of Hungary and Austria were, after all, internal problems within Austria-Hungary, and Germany's unauthorized use of military force to suppress them was likely to lead to unforeseen consequences.

Besides, the German ** team itself is not so rich, and while fighting to the death with China and the Entente, on the other hand, it has to maintain stability for Austria-Hungary?

What do you think?

So if Austria-Hungary wants stability, the key is to be strong!

How to make the current Habsburg dynasty strong?

The key is to take the Austro-Hungarian army that is stuck in the Middle East and transport it back!

It doesn't matter if you lose your equipment, as long as you can go back, you can guarantee stability within Austria-Hungary!

Now, although the war situation in the two river basins can be described as erosive.

===Breaking the Sky Comics/===.

However, this time, Huaxia focused on controlling the occupied areas rather than annihilating the enemy.

Quite a few Austro-Hungarian troops withdrew from the front to the vicinity of Basra.

Among them was the best-equipped Bohemian regiment of the Austro-Hungarian regiment.

The commander of this regiment was also an old acquaintance of the German army, and General Schrager fought alongside the Germans in the Iranian Civil War and was a loyal supporter of the Habsburgs.

Just rush this, and the Germans will pull him a hand.

At this stage, China has not yet gnawed on the hard bone of Basra, there are hundreds of thousands of German and Austrian troops, or the German Navy is the largest military port in the Middle East, the perfect defense setup, the abundance of material reserves, and a strong defensive corps are destined to be a hard bone, so China temporarily implements the strategy of encircling but not fighting.

The Basra region has become a temporary safe haven for the German-Austrian teams.

However, this safe haven also has a time limit, and when the Huaxia Legion settles other places, it will definitely move to the Persian Gulf region!

Therefore, if we want to save people, we must do it as soon as possible, while China has not launched a large-scale attack on the coast of the Persian Gulf.

Take advantage of the fact that now the Luftwaffe still has air supremacy in the Persian Gulf region at least.

Take advantage of the fact that the Huaxia Navy has not yet come, hurry up and prepare to talk nonsense, it will be too late to be late!

The situation of the Allies in the Middle East can be described as a collapse.

All the Germans need to do now is to liquidate their positions immediately and then reduce their losses.

However, it is not easy to do this, and the Chinese naval fleet does not know when it will suddenly appear in the Arabian Sea.

Shore-based aviation alone is simply not enough to hold off an opponent's attack.

And if the fleet is dispatched, Raeder thinks that once he fights the other side, it is almost inevitable that he will lose.

More importantly, it is impossible for the fleet to enter the Persian Gulf, otherwise once it is blocked, it will be completely useless!

However, if you want to withdraw the troops, you must prepare for a fight with Huaxia.

It was impossible for the Chinese Navy to let the Germans leave easily.

So.

In this meeting, the three parties will discuss a practical plan.

Perhaps it was the just-concluded Battle of Gibraltar that gave the Germans the confidence that they could easily defeat an opponent much stronger than themselves, with the cooperation of the navy and air force.

And this time, they want to replicate that victory!

"Actually, as early as when China launched air raids on Transcaucasia, I expected that this day would come sooner or later. It's just that I didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”

The Red Baron smiled bitterly.

"The Air Force has prepared a reserve base for evacuation, and when we are no longer able to use the bases in southern Iran and the two river valleys, we will withdraw to the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, which is the Oman region. Where we have prepared a large number of preparatory airports. As long as we remove the aircraft from the front, we can cover the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula very well. Moreover, this area is far away from the air base in Huaxia, and the intensity of the other side's strikes will also be reduced a lot. ”

"You're saying that you're going to deploy the magic box in this area and then cooperate with my fleet to intercept the Huaxia Navy? Is that so? ”

Raeder thought for a moment and said.

"If the operation is started within a month, our fleet can be replenished with 2 armored aircraft carriers and 2 medium fleet aircraft carriers, returning to the state it was in before the Battle of Gibraltar. If it's just defense and not offense, I think it should be no problem facing the Huaxia fleet. ”

"If I could, I'd like to send some of the jet fighters over to strengthen the air defenses."

Kruger added.

After all, this is a plan made by the Air Force and Navy to cover the withdrawal of the 6th Army, and no one will think that their defenses are too high.

"I'll do my best. The number of jets is too small, and there are some problems with maintenance and longevity. What's more important is that the voyage is relatively short. Sea transportation is no longer safe, and it may be difficult to fly from one place to another. ”

The Red Baron said with some embarrassment.

The Luftwaffe had a hard time moving to the Middle East.

In the past, it was enough to go directly from Turkey, but with the development of the Chinese offensive.

The two river basins are obviously not accessible, and it is difficult to cross the desert directly across the Arabian Peninsula.

So the Luftwaffe was all transported from Egypt to Italian Somalia, and then flew directly to the front-line airfields.

Until the German Navy entered the Indian Ocean again, the Luftwaffe transports did not even dare to go out of the Red Sea!

This plan is a copy of the original naval battle of Gibraltar, and the only question is whether China will deploy 6 base air forces on the west coast of India.

The German Indian Corps had long since withdrawn, and it was back under British and American control.

Theoretically, China, as an ally, could use the airfields of the United States and Britain or obtain their support.

But now the differences between China and the United States and Britain have become so great that even the Germans are aware of it, and according to the estimates of the German General Staff, in the next two months, if the Germans launch a large-scale retreat plan, there is a probability that the Chinese Navy will fight alone!

Although the Luftwaffe in the Middle East was choked enough by the Chinese Air Force, they said that they could at least make up more than 2ooo aircraft of various kinds, plus the magic box group and the Allied fleet supported from Europe, it was really not a big problem to make up more than 4ooo aircraft.

No matter how fierce the Chinese Navy is, what can it do in the face of the Luftwaffe Navy and Air Force, which have superiority in quantity and quality?

Huaxia's Skua 3 fighter is really powerful, but the TA152 fighter in this plane is also okay, a little worse, but the difference is limited.

And the Luftwaffe still has a lot of trust in the AR234 bomber, they believe it.

Except during the bombing window, it is very difficult for carrier-based aircraft to intercept the AR234 at other times.

If the Huaxia Navy really wants to prevent the German army from retreating from the Middle East, then let them repeat the mistakes of the past!

After finalizing the plan, the three German armies began this battle plan, codenamed Watching the Mediterranean.

The Luftwaffe front-line air force began to transfer to airfields in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

The Magic Box fleet, which had played a prominent role in the Battle of Gibraltar, had also begun a long transition journey, and the German Navy, after a period of replenishment, decided to break out of the Mediterranean again, but this seemingly ferocious wave of adjustments was only for the purpose of retreat.

It is a great irony to compare the triumphant advance of the German army on the battlefield in France!

And the strategic plans of the Germans also did not escape the attention of China and the Entente.

By this time, the situation of the Allies in the Middle East had collapsed.

At this time, it is not necessary to increase the number of troops to maintain the situation of the war, but to withdraw and reduce losses.

Xu Jie believes that this wave of interception is very necessary.

If hundreds of thousands of German-Austrian troops with combat experience were withdrawn to Europe, they would be a strong army after a period of replenishment and recuperation.

The situation on the Eastern Front was stable for the time being, and it was very likely that the Germans would redeploy this force to Asia Minor, so that China's original plan could be lost.

(Take control of the two river basins and prop up a new Turkish government in the shortest possible time.)

Therefore, after some research, Huaxia decided to make preparations in two aspects, on the one hand, to concentrate the 6 bases and the air force to strengthen the offensive from the north to compress the opponent.

At the same time, the navy was dispatched to blockade the Persian Gulf and block the sea lanes for the retreat of the other side.

Xu Jie is also very aware of the advantages of the Luftwaffe in the Persian Gulf and the eastern Arabian Peninsula, and in the confrontation of countries of the same level, it is best not to be tough with the opponent's shore-based air force, and in addition to the 6-base air force, the German Navy will also be dispatched.

The greatest advantage of the Huaxia Navy over the six bases -- mobility -- will be greatly weakened.

More critically, in the face of the threat of guided weapons, unless the carrier aircraft is directly shot down, Huaxia has no good way.

Although the Chinese Navy is in the process of refitting jet aircraft, it can play a role in the final performance of these aircraft.

Xu Jie is not very confident in his heart.

For this reason, Xu Jie hopes that the air force of the United States and Britain on the west coast of India can provide some help, even if it can't divide the troops, it can provide airfields and logistical supplies!

But what Xu Jie didn't expect was that.

The contradictions and conflicts between Huaxia and the United States and Britain have already been made clear on a large scale, if at the beginning, the two sides only had conflicts at the negotiating table, and on the issue of Huaxia's request for the United States and Britain to provide bases in western India, the United States and Britain, especially Britain, expressed their refusal!

The British think that is called a far away!

Britain is now sensitive to the deployment of any power in India.

When the United States entered India, there was no way, and it was a last resort.

As far as Huaxia is concerned, it is not too much for Britain to say that it is like a thief to guard against Huaxia, although some of the technical and logistical personnel currently deployed in India by Huaxia really do not do anything inconsistent with their identity.

But that's what the British think!

As long as people think so, does it matter what you do or don't do?

"As allies, we have our own air force, so we can't borrow your airfield?"

Xu Jie angrily said to the British ambassador to China, and the latter could only express regret and powerlessness over and over again, except for repeating over and over again that the airport facilities in western India were seriously damaged and not enough to support the British Air Force to use this obviously prevarication excuse!

Of course, the British did not do anything wrong, they said that Britain could still send some supply ships to help the Chinese Navy operate, but it was impossible for the Grand Fleet to anchor in India!

"On this point, I will also find a way to make India independent after the war!"

Xu Jie said in his heart, but this angry sentence did not help.

The problem of the navy now is that in the absence of the support of the 6-base aviation force, will the Huaxia Navy be on or not!

Theoretically, the Chinese fleet could also be opportunistic and line up in the Gulf of Aden at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, so as to avoid German air strikes around the Persian Gulf, but the problem was that the Germans occupied Somalia in the Horn of East Africa.

Long-range bomber units deployed in the Persian Gulf can also be transferred anywhere.

Moreover, under the double insurance of submarines and aerial reconnaissance, it is difficult for the Huaxia fleet to avoid the eyes and ears of the other side.

Compared to the narrow Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea is clearly more suitable for the operation of the Grand Fleet.

"Give us a month! We can definitely challenge the German fleet and 6 base aviation near the Persian Gulf. ”

In the end, Su Mo's reply to Xu Jie was that he could fight, but he needed time to prepare!

And judging from the current situation, a month is still okay.

It would take at least another month for the German fleet to be dispatched.

Before the navy is dispatched, it is better to let the 6th Army and Air Force wear down their opponents, although the Germans are trapped in the Persian Gulf coast, but here is almost the largest concentration of heavy troops outside of the German mainland.

It is of great significance to annihilate it completely.

The powerful siege corps of about 35 divisions commanded by Xu Huaide has also completed the final preparations and is about to launch a general attack under the guidance of Zhou Xuan.

I have to say that the last remaining families of the Germans and Austrians are quite powerful.

When hundreds of thousands of troops are concentrated in a small area.

Its power is quite powerful, and as the battle line becomes longer and longer, the air time of the Huaxia Air Force will become shorter, and the air superiority will not be as great as before, and the Germans can rely on the airfields deployed in the Persian Gulf to provide support.

The air power of the two sides is further equal, and this time Huaxia can only rely on the 6th Army to advance little by little.

When the battle at sea broke out, the 6th Army of both sides fought a fierce battle around Basra and later Kuwait, hoping to solve the opponent's opponent in one fell swoop, and the German-Austrian army, which was looking forward to returning home, did not allow their defeat.

The defeat of the former meant the continuation of the war and more bloodshed in Turkey, while the defeat of the latter meant the collapse of the Allied bloc.
