Chapter 483 allies have to look at actual actions

In fact, when it comes to Raeder, Lao Xi doesn't like it very much.

Lao Xi's speeches and theories can easily arouse fanaticism, but as a highly technical branch of the navy, what is needed is calmness. They are more aware of the specific strength of both the enemy and us, so the Navy's attitude towards Lao Xi is even less cold than that of the Army. Raeder opposed the spread of Nazi ideology in the navy, but he had a good relationship with the elder Xi. Originally, Raeder chose Hitler for the sake of the Navy. Lao Xi's support for the German Navy was also very strong. Lao Xi brought not only fanaticism, but also the rapid revival of Germany.

After the Germans took out France, which was known as the world's largest army, the army collectively gave in to Lao Xi. Even the relationship between the Navy and Lao Xi has eased a lot.

But the Navy's arch-enemies were the British, who had been in their shadow since before World War I. Some time ago, Norway and other battles also suffered a lot of losses. Although Lao Xi did not understand the Navy, he also brought a lot of new warships to the Navy, which also changed the Navy's concept of Lao Xi a lot. Soldiers are not politicians, and sometimes it needs to be simpler.

Lao Xi also arranged a lot of his own chess pieces with the help of the allocation of new equipment. Over the years, Dönitz's rapid rise to popularity is one of them.

Dönitz won the trust of Lao Xi, and he was a good new generation of generals in the navy, and he received Raeder's support.

Dönitz's submarine attack was supported by Raeder, who preferred the surface fleet of giant artillery ships, but he also understood that the German navy could not compete directly with the British for the time being, so the Germans still adopted the method of fighting British cargo ships. At this time, the role of submarines had already been proven in the First World War.

From the beginning of the attack on British cargo ships, by now, the Germans have sunk more than 1 million registered tons of cargo ships of the British and their allies and even some neutral countries.

But it was also threatened by British destroyers and planes. Reminded by Skynet and the Vanguard, the Germans also realized that once the submarine was targeted by the aircraft, it would be difficult to escape. If there is an aircraft carrier, with the cooperation of aircraft, it is not only easier to find targets, but also can threaten the opponent's aircraft and even ships. This also made Raeder even more eager to have an aircraft carrier.

Although there is no mention of surpassing the status of battleships, the role of aircraft carriers is recognized by the navies of various countries. Not to mention anything else, the naval battle in the Yellow Sea between the vanguard army and the Japanese was also seen by everyone. But the highly technical nature of the Navy makes it difficult to renew this change. A new system needed to be set up, and a large number of people were silenced because of it.

Raeder was also one of the people who supported aircraft carriers in Germany, but aircraft carriers in Germany still did not receive the attention they deserved. In addition to Goering's obstruction, another reason was the strategic problem of the Germans. The Germans' sights were mainly on the European continent. The army is the most important thing to build, and even if there is a need for air force along the coast, landing on airfields can solve most of the problems.

The Germans also did not expect their victory so quickly and soon needed to jump out of the European continent. This makes their aircraft carrier program still far from mature.

Aircraft carrier operations are a systematic project that cannot be accomplished overnight. The development of the Zeppelin by the Germans for a long time was also related to the existence of many technical and tactical problems.

The North Sea region is a perennial choppy region with strong winds and waves, and it is also the main battlefield of the British and German naval battles. When using an aircraft carrier in such a harsh environment, there are many issues to be taken into account. This is not as cost-effective overall as a land airport.

The Germans, after quickly defeating France, could directly attack the British on their homeland. In this way, the strategy of attacking the British transport lines and slowly grinding them to death needs to be changed. The battle to cross the trench of the English Channel can begin at the airfields of France.

To put it simply, it was all because of the strategic adjustment of the Germans, so that the plan for the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was canceled for a while. After the Sea Lion plan, when preparing to fight to the death with the British on home, the importance of aircraft carriers is not so important, so Raeder also complained about the Zeppelin being stopped, but he did not tear his face.

But at this time, Lao Xi suddenly said that there was almost an aircraft carrier, and his heart suddenly lifted.

"We ordered an aircraft carrier!" Hitler stared into his eyes, as if pondering something, and said only after a moment.

Eddell immediately understood.

"Copycat companies?" The name came to his lips, but he didn't spit it out. Recently, the Germans and copycat companies have traded too much equipment. Purely from the navy, not only three Yamato-class battleships and three Bavaria-class battleships, but also five Scott destroyers have been purchased one after another. The submarine forces have received more than 30 ships, and dozens more have not arrived.

Even the class torpedo boats, the Navy ordered more than 30 of them. More orders followed. Even another aircraft carrier is unusual.

For the strong manufacturing capabilities of copycat companies, the Germans have also embraced. Such a level can definitely be compared to the industry of a large country. You must know that copycat companies sell not only naval equipment, but also many of the equipment of the German army and air force are made by copycat companies. The Air Force, in particular, cooperates more with copycat companies and vanguard armies.

Raeder thought of the copycat company, and he thought of the vanguard army. One of the important reasons why Germans like to deal with copycat companies is that they can barter with copycat companies. Naturally, the copycat company had a contract with the Chinese Pioneer Army for the purchase of resources, and the responding orders for the machinery and equipment and related technology that the Pioneer Army needed to purchase were transferred to the Germans. In this way, although the Germans had fewer arms orders, they had a large number of industrial and commercial procurement contracts.

The contracts of the vanguard army involved all aspects, which were equivalent to the establishment of a country's industrial base, and these contracts undoubtedly stimulated the development of the German economy, which was far more conducive to social stability than the simple military industry.

Besides, the Germans' military-industrial enterprises did not have such a great appetite to eat the rapidly expanding German equipment, and it was nothing for the arms oligarchs to divide some appropriately, after all, they controlled not only the military industry, but also their share in the large orders of the vanguard army. If we say that before, some people in Germany were against the war, but at this time the cooperation with the vanguard army was a real economic boost. Let more people have employment opportunities, attract more people, and make Lao Xi's position more consolidated.

Yes, Lao Xi was still very satisfied, which was also one of the reasons why the Germans were slow to form a formal alliance with the Japanese. He didn't want to lose the potential of the vanguard army because of the Japanese.

The combat effectiveness of the vanguard army, the intelligence agencies of Germany were constantly increasing the weight of assessments. But in general, much stronger than the Japanese. Even if it was to contain Soviet Russia, there was no doubt that the vanguard army was more suitable than the Japanese. Especially when the vanguard army had already occupied northern China. Moreover, the contradictions between China and Soviet Russia are also numerous, and Mongolia alone makes it impossible for China to avoid. In this regard, there is still a basis for cooperation between the two sides. Although the Japanese navy may help involve the Americans, Lao Xi calculates that the greater threat at this time is Soviet Russia.

The Americans were still separated from Europe by an Atlantic, and the Germans could not attack them, and it was not easy for them to land to attack Europe. But Soviet Russia has been preparing for war, and it is a real threat. In Hitler's understanding, the United States was negotiable, and could cooperate as long as it gave enough benefits. But Soviet Russia needs to be finally defeated.

It turns out that historically, some of the Americans' big chaebols have been secretly supporting the Germans in their wars and stirring up the situation in Europe. Only by breaking the old world can a new world be planned. The Americans also need a redistribution of benefits in the New World.

There are many reasons why Lao Xi turned his head to deal with Soviet Russia when he did not exterminate the British. In addition to the need for sustained fighting and victory in the army and the fact that Soviet Russia is also sharpening its knives and preparing to stab, the attitude of the Americans can be said to be crucial. Lao Xi was fooled by the Americans, thinking that it was possible that there would be nothing to do on the Western Front.

Perhaps under some kind of promise, the Americans will not intervene on a large scale until the defeat of Soviet Russia. This can also explain that when Soviet Russia was beaten to the ground, the time for the Americans to stand up was very appropriate.

Of course, the army that the Americans had been performing before World War II was extremely poor, and even the navy was about the same level as the Germans at the beginning, which also gave Lao Xi a reassurance. So he thought that with the constant supply of warships from copycat companies, coupled with the constant production of domestic warships, the German Navy would have no problem defending against the surprise attacks of the Americans, even without the help of the Japanese navy.

Because of this, the role of the Japanese alliance is getting smaller and smaller. The delay in decoupling the Germans from the Japanese was mainly due to the fact that the vanguard army had not taken a position.

However, although there is no formal covenant between the two sides, the relationship is as good as an alliance. The two sides are not only trading goods, but also people.

The Navy of the Vanguard Army at this time still had more than 2,000 people training and practicing in Germany. Even more than a hundred people took part in naval battles, and some time ago in the naval battle of Norway, there were two trainee Vanguard naval officers on board the silent cruiser Blucher.

The Vanguard came to learn the operation and operation of warships and submarines, and the Germans also learned some aircraft carrier operation from the Vanguard. At the beginning, the aircraft carrier of the Pioneer Army, the Canglong aircraft carrier, which sank the devil in the Yellow Sea, was a classic aircraft carrier battle, and was included in the study cases for the navies of various countries. Therefore, when it comes to aircraft carriers, the vanguard army can be regarded as having actual combat experience, which is worth learning from the Germans.

The personnel of the two sides are also complementary in some aspects, and this is also suitable for the army and air force. Many of the weapons of the cottage company were unveiled in advance in the vanguard army, and those advanced tanks and aircraft, if there are any problems and experience, the people of the vanguard army can still talk about it. And the Germans are more solid on the foundation, which is also lacking in the vanguard.

So when Raeder heard that the vanguard army numbered more than 7,000 men in Germany, he was taken aback. In the same way, at this time, there were more than 2,000 German officers in the territory of the Chinese Pioneer Army who were practicing and exchanging, which was larger than when Lao Jiang was at the beginning.

"Jan, I'd love to go back!" Hans. Rudel took a can of Tsingtao beer from Huang Yiyang's hand, looked at a Stuka D-3 plane flying in the sunset in the distance, and kept diving down to practice bombing. He has been applying for training courses in Stuka since he received the Iron Cross of the Second Class in October last year. At this time, his superiors transferred him to the exchange group of the vanguard army.

The Pioneer Army was very willing to invest in the training of pilots, and could not help but open up the supply of fuel, and even the planes were on call. You don't need to wait for a plane to train here, as long as you have the energy to complete the training, there will be an aircraft for you to use. Rudel knows the difficulties of flight training, otherwise there would not be so many people applying, and the pass rate is really low.

Airplanes fly in the sky, and although the fuel consumption is not as exaggerated as the jets of later generations, it is also very amazing. These costs, as well as the maintenance and repair of the aircraft, are all set down, and it is normal to say that the pilot is more expensive than the aircraft.

How did the ace pilot come and fly out. Although this kind of thing is also about talent, it is always a skill that makes perfect. Why do pilots divide by how many hours they fly? Without him, only the hand is familiar. The planes of later generations will cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars once they go on the sky, how can such a luxury cultivate a large number of trump cards?

That is, in times of war, many costs have become secondary issues in the face of life and death, and at this time, there can be increased investment regardless of costs. In peacetime, there is no need to count on it.

Of course, even in times of war, some of the costs are unbearable. Lao Jiang also knows the importance of airplanes, but not only airplanes, but also oil, which also need to be imported. Give him 10,000, and he can't afford to raise it.

And the aircraft of the Vanguard Army, all of which are cheaply manufactured at the base. Most of the planes used in primary training and those in flying clubs were built before World War II or even during World War I, and the cost was cabbage price. Even advanced training aircraft, those before 45 years, could be discounted by one-sixth, and it didn't cost much.

The problem of maintenance and maintenance, there are clones and maintenance workshops in the air finger center, and there is no need to worry about it. Even if some of the losses are large, just replace them with new ones. At this time, the vanguard army was definitely equipped with more aircraft than pilots.

At this time, the exchange group of the Germans also found this cheapness, which not only allowed them to get in touch with the latest aircraft, but also saved the cost of training, so why not. Meng Xiang was also unkind, and collected the trump cards in his memory, such as Rudel, Hartman, and Buckhorn. Although Meng Xiang was worried, he was afraid that pulling out the seedlings would help them grow, so that these future aces who were not yet famous would die halfway. But considering that since they can be trump cards, they are naturally not in vain. Naturally, the pilot's talent does not lose too many points as the environment changes.

Meng Xiang brought these people here, not simply to satisfy the evil taste of the traverser collecting celebrities, but the aura of these people will drive the level of Huaxia pilots. While they are improving rapidly, they can also put some pressure on the pilots who are regarded as proud sons in Huaxia.

The skills of the Chinese pilots can be regarded as having learned all over the world. Some originated from Britain and France, some from the United States, some from Soviet Russia, and some from Japan. But whether it is learned at home or abroad, many of them are dyed with a bit of romantic flavor. This was largely determined by the profession of pilots, who were the darlings of high society and were once the communicative cards in the hands of the first lady. They were far away from the big men of the army, and they lacked a taste of iron and blood.

The injection of the clone soldiers' style has made the pilot's atmosphere improve somewhat. These are not enough, Meng Xiang brought the Germans, let them see the world's high level, and also let the German catfish seriously rush to the casualness of China.

In addition to a group of master instructors who led the team, there were also some novice-level students in the flight group who came to communicate. But there are a lot of future cattle among them. It is necessary to teach the pilots of the vanguard army a lesson, so that they can know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.

Sure enough, when the level of these future aces increased by leaps and bounds, the pilot lads of the Vanguard Army were under a lot of pressure. The battle with the Japanese was not obvious because of the superiority of the aircraft, but the excellent results of the Germans in training and simulated combat under the same type of aircraft stimulated these pilots who discussed romance with the lady from time to time.

Driven by the clones, the healthy competition collides with each other between the Chinese and German pilots, and at the same time sublimates their friendship.

Just like Rudel and Huang Mix Yang at this time. Huang has a wealth of flying and combat experience in flying and fighting in Stuka, while Rudel is super talented with world-class aces and is making rapid progress. The two sides cherished each other and became a pair of good friends.

At this time, Rudell was depressed, and Huang Mingyang also understood.

The Germans' war against France and others after the year, Rudel and others missed it. The excitement of making a contribution and the emotion of homesickness are intertwined, and the mood is inevitably low.

Huang Yiyang didn't say anything, just opened the beer can with a snap. There are many things between men that don't need to be said explicitly, and drinking together can replace a thousand words.

Rudel also opened the beer can in his hand, this aluminum can is an invention of the Chinese people, simple and convenient, but also easy to carry and preserve. Their beers also taste good and are pure. In Aoshima, I heard that there is not only the craft of Japanese people, but also the craft of German beer. Huaxia people purchased two production lines from Germany. One of them is in Qingdao. The beer produced has a bit of a hometown taste.

The whizzing of three F-190-3 planes piloted by members of the German Exchange Mission in the sky interrupted Rudel's thoughts. He thought about returning to Germany to fight again.

Germany was now facing Great Britain, and air battles were almost daily. If you need to attack the ground or water in the air, then this is Stuka's chance to show off his skills. He missed the honor of attacking France, but he did not want to miss attacking England.

"Bang dang!" After passing an arc, the empty cans were accurately thrown into a garbage bin not far away. The opening on the green side is recyclable, and someone comes every day to clean and sort it.

Huang Lianyang was very satisfied with his accuracy, turned around, and finally said in stammering German: "I heard that the next batch of exchange groups is coming, you can go back!" ”

Unlike the Pioneer Army in Germany for one year or two years, the exchange groups sent by the Germans to China were generally three months or half a year, and a few were for one year, all of which were doubled in units of three months. After all, the conditions in China are still much worse than those in Germany. The language alone makes most of them uncomfortable.

Although Meng Xiang feels that Chinese is the best language in the world, if he wants to learn other people's skills, he naturally adapts to others. At this time, there was a craze for learning German in the joint theater.

The origin of this trend was that the Pioneer Army's communication with the Germans was not limited to military exchanges, and the number of Chinese students and technicians studying various technologies in Germany was close to 20,000 at this time.

Before 43 years, Germany had not been bombed on a large scale and was still safe. It would also be nice to take advantage of the Germans' plundering of Europe and to draw some nourishment there.

Because of the relationship with the vanguard army, the attitude of the Germans towards the Chinese was much better.

Hamburg's Chinatown, which has also suffered a catastrophe in its history, was harassed by the Nazis in the early days, but has since become an area under German protection. So many Chinese people come here to study, to spend money, not to rob them of their jobs. Under Goebbels' vigorous propaganda, China and Germany were being accepted as allies.

However, the vanguard army was slow to determine that the two sides were in an alliance.

"Allies are looking at actual actions, not at that blank slate." This is an understatement that Meng Xiang made when he faced the Germans' test of the vanguard army's attitude, but the relevant meaning was also clearly expressed.

Lao Xi also understands that this is the vanguard army and is not the ruling government of Huaxia, and it also needs to take into account the pressure of Britain and the United States, plus the Japanese are still invading China, it is normal for Meng Xiang not to make a statement at this time. However, the actual actions of the vanguard army made Lao Xi feel a lot more relieved. In the continuous communication with the Germans, many weapons of the vanguard army also changed hands and became the equipment that the German army urgently needed.
