readx; If you simply compare the strength of battleships, it is almost impossible for the Chinese Navy to defeat this battlefleet, even if the whole army is dispatched, it is estimated that it will be the result of losing both, but now it is 1941, and the battleships have long been reduced to secondary forces. Ben's aircraft carrier force is currently second only to the Chinese Navy, and the United States can only rank third. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 By 1943, a large number of Essex-class aircraft carriers of the United States would be put into service one after another, and the US Navy would be able to easily catch up with the strength of the Chinese Navy in a short period of time, and it would be even easier for the US Navy to surpass its own navy.

However, the United States has built a large number of aircraft carriers, saying, "Although it cannot keep up with this pace, it does not mean that the Chinese Navy cannot keep up; compared with the US Navy, which also has to take into account the construction of battleships, the Chinese Navy has already given up the construction of battleships and has spent all its resources on aircraft carriers, and more than a dozen large fleet aircraft carriers on the slipway are under intense construction, and the number of aircraft carriers under construction does not need to be much less than that of the Americans."

Let's not talk about the future for the time being, for the time being, although the total tonnage of the Chinese Navy is only the fourth in the world, but it has the world's largest scale, the most actual combat experience and a mature system of carrier-based aviation, the strength of twelve aircraft carriers is enough to defeat the navy of any country, but this is just the view of Chen Jingyun and the Chinese naval aviation faction, in the eyes of the naval generals of other countries, the main force of the Chinese Navy is still the four high-speed battleships, and the Shaohao and Fuxi-class ships with twelve inch naval guns. As for aircraft carriers, although they are also considered the main force, they are far from reaching the stage of absolute main force.

And even if you don't count China's huge carrier-based aviation force, simply analyze China's gunboats, the strength of the Chinese Navy is not weak, the four battleships that have been modernized and converted are already veritable high-speed battleships, the Yandi-class battleships in the late thirties after refitting, the old Parsons punch steam turbine was replaced with the latest high-pressure impulse steam turbine of Shanghai Power Company, not only the steam turbine was replaced, but also the oil-fired boiler was replaced, and the combustion efficiency will be better, After changing the power system, the power of the Yandi class increased significantly, and the Yandi-class ship was originally designed as a high-speed warship, and the slender body ensured the speed of the Yandi-class, and the speed reached thirty knots after modification.

In addition, the level of horizontal armor has been thickened, electronic systems such as fire control and radar have also been comprehensively upgraded, and a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower has been installed, it can be said that the state of the Yandi-class battleship in 1941 and the state when it was first commissioned in 1921 are two different things, the most obvious is that the tonnage has increased, and the standard displacement has increased directly from 40,000 tons to 42,000 tons.

The modification of the Shundi-class battleships was similar, mainly to increase speed, thicken horizontal armor, and anti-aircraft firepower. In order to renovate these four battleships, the Chinese Navy has spent a huge amount of money, and the four battleships can be built with a total cost of more than 100 million Chinese yuan.

These four battleships after major refit are already the top ranks in the world in terms of combat effectiveness, and even many British and American battleships that served during the thirties cannot be compared, and the Prince of Wales, which the British just served, is the most obvious example, with a displacement of only 35,000 tons, it is only equipped with 14 inches and 45 times the naval gun, which can be called a miracle in the history of shipbuilding in the world. Not to mention the main battleships of the 16-inch naval guns in the navies of various countries.

Four battleships, plus four large cruisers in the Chinese Navy, these eight capital ships are the real essence of the Chinese Navy in the eyes of the navies of various countries, and it is obvious that the reason why the British Navy has mobilized so many battleships is mainly to counter these eight capital ships of China.

The British Navy's dispatch of the main fleet in the direction of Asia did not have an impact of public opinion, but also directly affected the strategic decisions of various countries.

"Now the Chinese Navy has transferred their First Battlefleet to the South China Sea, and now all four of their battleships are in the South China Sea. Coupled with their large air force, it should not be a problem for them to hold off the British Navy. If the Chinese Navy can blockade the British Navy in Malacca, then we will be able to free up our hands to attack the US Navy! ”

Yamamoto said: "Although we have signed a secret agreement with China, it is a matter of strategic coordination, and we still need to discuss with the Chinese side!" ”

He said that the naval strength of Ben and China was not weak, but they were also facing the British and American navies at the same time, so according to the strategy of the Ben Navy, it was naturally unrealistic for them to fight against the British and American navies alone, and when Ben launched an attack on the US Navy, the Chinese Navy must contain the huge fleet of the British Navy.

Seeing that the outbreak of war was imminent, in order to further increase his confidence, Chen Jingyun agreed to his request with a wave of his hand, and not only transferred all four battleships to the South China Sea, but also dispatched as many as six aircraft carriers, so that the strength of the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea reached six aircraft carriers and four battleships, and in addition, the two large cruisers Shaohao and Fuxi were also stationed in the South China Sea with the main fleet.

With such a large naval force, let alone defense, even if it is to attack Singapore and capture Malacca, it is enough, and the move of the main force of the Chinese navy to the south is enough to contain the British Far East Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. At this time, it was said that the navy was also able to mobilize almost all of its forces to prepare for a super-large-scale attack on the US Navy, thus establishing the strategic superiority of the navy over the US Navy in one fell swoop.

In September 1941, the relations between China and the two countries reached an unprecedented height, and judging from the actual actions of the two countries and the secret agreements that preceded them, it can be said that the two countries were already in an alliance relationship, and in the propaganda of the people of the two countries, the call for an alliance between China and China was very high, and the slogan that Asians are Asians was also frequently appeared, and even some radical Asians shouted the slogan of Sino-Chinese integration.

China said that the respective strategic needs of the two countries have led to a high degree of cooperation between the two countries, which is reflected not only in the supply of resources and the opening up of the economy and market, but also in military cooperation. At the same time, there are also some supplies of ordnance and materials, and China has even provided a large number of air-cooled aircraft engines to increase the output of various types of main fighters.

After entering the honeymoon phase of the paramilitary alliance, the diplomatic negotiations between China and the Soviet Union also entered the final stage.

"Now the situation of the Russians is getting worse and worse, and if this momentum continues, it is estimated that Moscow will have to be lost without the arrival of winter!" Gu Weijun frowned and said: "But even so, the Russians are still very tough and refuse to recognize China's legitimate occupation right in Central Asia, and they will not recognize China's legitimate occupation of Siberia and the Far East!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "We knew the difficulty of the negotiation from the beginning, but don't care, now the Russians are almost in a desperate situation, in the past few months, they have lost at least three million troops, and all kinds of technical weapons have lost huge losses, not only the western front has been defeated, but the eastern front is also a connection rout, Omsk and Tyumen have been occupied by the Russian republics one after another, I think it will not take long to reach the Ural Mountains!" ”

In the months leading to the war, the situation in Soviet Russia was much worse than the outside world had imagined, with the loss of 3 million troops, more than 15,000 tanks and self-propelled guns, more than 80,000 artillery pieces of all types, and 8,000 aircraft. It can be said that most of the military strength of Soviet Russia has been annihilated.

On the Eastern Front, the troops of the Russian Republic have reached the Ural Mountains, if there is a Ural Mountains on the Eastern Front that can obtain a certain buffer time for Soviet Russia, then on the Western Front it will be a complete tragedy, Poland, the three Baltic states, and the Ukrainian regions are almost lost at an unparalleled speed, and the Soviet troops on the Western Front have been unable to stop the German offensive at all in addition to running backwards or backwards in the past few months of the war, and the German army has almost marched all the way eastward in the mode of a victorious march without any strong resistance, By now, the German Army Group Center had already gone straight to Moscow and occupied the vital Smolensk in July, and by September, the German Army Group Center had launched a large-scale offensive campaign on Moscow, trying to break the last resistance of the Soviet army and occupy Moscow in one fell swoop.

It can be said that by the end of September, Soviet Russia was already on the verge of collapse, and when the Western Front was in a rout, the Soviet Army was still unable to transfer troops from the Eastern Front to defend the Western Front because it was facing the attack of the Russian Republic.

At such a time, the Soviet Russians finally admitted that the doctrines they believed in could not save Soviet Russia, lowered their seemingly noble heads, and went against their beliefs to extend a helping hand to the evil capitalist Chinese Empire.

In order to show the sincerity of the talks, the Soviet and Russian sides first said that Soviet Russia recognized China's territorial sovereignty recovered in the Sino-Russian Nanjing Treaty and recognized the sovereignty of part of Central Asia that China currently controls, that is, the western region of Kazakhstan.

But this is far from enough for China, after countless international negotiations, Gu Weijun, who has won many interests for China from the negotiation table, once again exerted his true negotiating colors, and directly said in a tough tone: "In order to ensure China's strategic security and the peaceful development needs of the people in the Asian region, China must maintain its strategic defense line from the Caspian Sea to the Ural Mountains!" ”

When Gu Weijun said this, the representative of Soviet Russia on the opposite side went directly to the table!

Facing the back of the Soviet Russian representative leaving angrily, Gu Weijun did not have the slightest worry, but lit a cigar gracefully. Negotiation is a lion's mouth, whether you want to get it first or not, first magnify the requirements, as for what can be negotiated in the end, that is a matter for the future.

Besides, now the situation in Soviet Russia is so tense, and the Russians are more anxious than themselves!

Gu Weijun actually enjoyed this negotiation very much, he has been engaged in diplomacy for so many years, but it is the first time that he has occupied so many advantages in the negotiation, this kind of taste of taking advantage of the fire is really refreshing!
