"This is what you want, the British Empire has operated fortresses and colonies for hundreds of years. 【Reading.com】樂文小说|" After signing the treaty, the British envoy said indignantly. In the treaty, which came to be known as the Agreement between China and Britain on Certain Questions in Southeast Asia, Britain ceded to China Sarawak (present-day East Malaysia), Brunei, Malaya and Singapore, as well as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean. At this point, Britain's colonial power was completely extended from Southeast Asia. And China finally dominates the whole of Southeast Asia. And a forward base for access to the Indian Ocean was obtained.

As a negotiator of Huaxia, Mei Rujiao put away the documents with a smile, and then expressed her appreciation for the British government and the royal family's approach, and in exchange, Huaxia will deploy at least 8 fleet aircraft carriers in the Atlantic within a year to ensure the smooth communication lines from the United States to the United Kingdom, and provide Britain with at least $2 billion in supplies and equipment!

Well, this exchange is very good, and Xu Jie has a great sense of accomplishment to be able to take away such a big benefit from the shrewd British! If the Germans hadn't put their guns on the heads of the British, there would have been no such opportunity! The British were very angry about this treaty, but Xu Jie was very calm, and even when he met with the British envoy, Xu Jie intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing, and the battleship Cornwall, which uncovered the humiliating history of modern China. (It was on this ship that the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing was signed.) If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to avoid irritating the British, Xu Jie would have even wanted to sign the treaty in Nanjing, but in the end the place was chosen in Hong Kong. This was once a British colony. Don't say it. When Xu Jie saw the text of the treaty, his heart was sour!

Once you've reaped the benefits, it's time to think about how to deal with the situation at hand. Let's be honest. The German's performance still exceeded Huaxia's expectations. Well, the Germans are a little more powerful than expected, although the German occupation of France in this plane is several times longer than in history, but at the same time, you must note that the Allies have prepared the United States, Britain and France on the battlefield in France to fight for 20 years! This plane is the United States that entered the war from the beginning! In this way, the Americans also lost no less than 450,000 men on the battlefield in France. Among them, nearly 10,000 planes alone were thrown! How much did the U.S. military lose in the entire 2 World War in history?

After this battle. For at least 1 year, neither the United States nor Britain will have the strength to launch a campaign-level attack on the European continent! Even the Air Force could not do it, the British had already replaced the bomber production capacity with fighters, and after the original reserves of strategic bombers were consumed, it was simply impossible to launch a strategic bombing of Germany without one year of preparation time. As for the Americans? They need to replenish the Essex aircraft carrier on the one hand, and the Air Force and Army on the other. In general, the Entente were now on the defensive. The situation will not change significantly in one year.

Huaxia sent almost all of its main fleet to the Atlantic, and the huge lineup of 6 armored aircraft carriers and 2 medium aircraft carriers allowed the Allied fleet to regain supremacy over the Allied fleet on paper. Eight aircraft carriers and 1,500 aircraft of various types, many of which were spare aircraft, greatly enriched the strength of the Allied fleet. And the American fleet, after returning to the mainland, after a period of rearmament and strengthening. also put together 8 fleets that can be used at any time, plus the aircraft carriers brought over by the French Navy, the total number of regular aircraft carriers of the Allied fleets gathered on the west coast of the United States has once again reached a terrifying 20! Although this size may be a slight numerical disadvantage compared to the Germans!

The recovery in numbers does not really reflect the strength of this fleet! The most crucial thing is the upgrading of the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Allied countries. I have to say that the Huaxia Navy came to the United States with full sincerity this time, not only with 850 brand-new Skua carrier-based aircraft on eight aircraft carriers. (Same as the FW190 of the Germans.) An aircraft that plays the role of a fighter, an attack aircraft, and a torpedo machine at the same time. Among them, the fighter and attack aircraft are completely common, and the torpedo aircraft is numbered Skua 2 aircraft. It can carry up to two torpedoes and one auxiliary fuel tank. The internal oil has been increased, but the air combat performance has decreased greatly, specifically referring to the difference between F4U and AU1 in history! Although the remaining 650 carrier-based aircraft have the name of spare crews, Huaxia said that if the United States can provide some help in other aspects, then these aircraft and their crews can join the US Navy!

However, the Americans still have some scruples about this, after all, it involves the issue of command and coordination. The United States and Britain have been fighting side by side for so long. After the Spitfire 9 was launched on the US aircraft carrier, there were also some problems, such as conflicting operating procedures, difficulties in logistics and maintenance, and obstacles in the communication system. The Americans were worried that rashly letting the Huaxia Air Wing on board the ship might lead to some unforeseen conflicts, but at the same time, the U.S. Navy also admitted that this is not only an excellent aircraft than the F6F Hellcat, but also better than the FW190!

So with the intention of trying it a little, the Americans agreed to equip two of the aircraft carriers with the Chinese Skua aircraft. As a result, the current Entente fleet has nearly 1,000 Skua fighters, and with the addition of more than 300 Spitfire-9 fighters responsible for the air defense of the fleet, the technical level of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft units in the new Entente fleet has surpassed that of the German High Seas Fleet!

In terms of warship air defense, the Americans have replaced it with new fire control radars and electronic jamming equipment after returning this time, and although they have limited effect on wire-guided bombs, they are still very effective for the vast majority of missiles that rely on radio guidance. The most important thing is that the Americans have invested heavily in equipping all warships with VT fuse shells this time. This multiplied the air defense of the entire fleet! Although the Allied carrier-based aircraft forces did not yet use twin-engine bombers on a large scale like the Germans, guided bombs had already appeared, and Huaxia specially designed a two-seat Skua 2 attack aircraft, which carried a gliding bomb.

Although it is somewhat simple because of the guidance equipment, and because the cockpit is too crowded, it is more cumbersome to operate. But in the end, it fills the gap in history. After some preparations, the fleets of Huaxia and the Entente are ready to attack again!

Sending a fleet to seize control of the Atlantic is only part of the plan. In other words, the Navy's actions are still on the defensive side. The whole fleet will be spread out around ensuring the smooth flow of transport lines, and it will be impossible to control the entire ocean, after all, the German navy is now in its prime, and if it is dispersed, it will be to seek death, even if there is a large fleet to provide protection. The convoy could only go to Britain under the cover of the fleet. The Germans have proven it. How terrible it is when they concentrate their forces on one point. So Huaxia and the Entente had to put pressure on the Germans at multiple points at the same time!

In addition to the European theater, after consultations, China and the Entente would also launch an attack on the Central Powers in the Middle East. Among them, Huaxia means relying on bases and strategic air forces in Central Asia to launch strategic bombing of Germany's Caucasus oil fields. But the United States and Britain believe that mere air pressure will not bring the other side to its knees. The U.S. and British garrisons in India will launch an attack on the Turkish and Austro-Hungarian forces stationed in the former southern region of Iran! Regarding the latter's opinion, Huaxia holds the view that it does not support or oppose it. Anyway, you can do it, but it's absolutely impossible to get benefits and support from me!

This is not to say that Xu Jie is engaged in internal strife, because this is the first trick played by the United States and Britain! When the United States, Britain and China discussed this offensive, the other side never explained how to deal with the places that were defeated. Xu Jie even tentatively asked about the topic of "maintaining Iran's territorial integrity". But the other side is always vague. This made Xu Jie feel very dissatisfied!

"It's all about this time, and the British are still thinking about scooping things into their pockets?" After this incident, Xu Jie finally had a deeper understanding of the essence of businessmen, which really fulfilled this sentence. For the sake of profit, it can be said that it will be at any cost! At a time when a sword of Damocles hangs high on their homeland, the British are counting on this to make up for their own losses by taking something from others! Aren't they afraid of paying a little more if they are careless?! To be honest, Xu Jie was not optimistic about the British offensive plan, if it was said that the two sides fought to the death on the battlefield in France. The Entente ** team from India may still be able to take advantage of the Middle East, but now, Xu Jie thinks that the battle in the Middle East is definitely not easy to fight, because at this time, the German Army has already freed up, and it is really not difficult to send 30 to 500,000 troops to the Middle East!

Isn't the Germans still preparing to land in Britain, one might ask? At this time, the elite army should not be transferred into the Middle East. The first half of the sentence is very correct, but the second half of the sentence is far off. The key to landing in Britain lies in the navy and air force. Whether the former can completely blockade Britain, whether the latter can defeat the British Air Force is the key, the requirements of the army are not very large, or in other words, it is not a big difference whether you send 500,000 German troops to the island or 1 million German troops to the island!

500,000 elite German troops were enough to take out Britain under the cover of the air force. After all, the British Army also suffered heavy losses on the battlefield in France, and after realizing that France might not be able to stop it, the British have been sparing no effort to strengthen the Air Force, and the Army's recovery speed is very slow. Therefore, the German Army can completely transfer some of the elite to the Middle East, it is easy for the United States, Britain and Indian colonial forces to fight Turkey, and it is okay to fight Austria-Hungary, but if you want to fight with the elite of the German Army, it is better to wash and sleep, and what is even more tragic is that the United States and Britain do not have many air forces in India, at most they are on par with the air forces of the Allies in the two river basins and Iran!

The reason why Xu Jie agreed to launch an air offensive instead of a ground offensive was because the main forces of the Luftwaffe were concentrated in Western Europe at this time. The defenses of the Transcaucasian and Kirkuk fields are relatively weak, while Huaxia has the advantage of distance and base, so I want to try these two places first. The ground offensive will have to wait for the arrival of a large number of land forces. In Xu Jie's opinion, the United States and Britain are obviously in a hurry!

However, the U.S. and British plan has the advantage of at least containing the air power of the Allies in the Middle East. At the same time as the ground and air offensives were launched, the Italian fleets in Huaxia and Tycho would also launch a breakthrough operation at sea, the German Navy did not have a main fleet in the Indian Ocean, and the three aircraft carriers of the Italians and the two medium aircraft carriers of Huaxia were enough to send any ship encountered at sea to the bottom of the sea!

In charge of the strategic bombing of Germany's two major oil-producing areas was General Liu Yaping, commander of the Air Force of the Central Asian Military Region of China. With the support of the country's major military districts, the total number of strategic bombers finally concentrated in the north of Iran and the Caspian coast reached 2500 units, and 1500 twin-engine bombers! At the same time, there are 2,000 Twin-engine fighters such as the Stone Tea Falcon fighter and 1,500 Flying Bat fighters. The total number of troops on the front line has reached as many as 7,500! And it can be replenished with about 900 various aircraft per month. Although this scale is not comparable to the air corps that the Germans are about to launch an offensive against Britain, considering the relative concentration of bombing targets of these bombers, such an offensive is still quite terrifying!

"Even during the French campaign, the Germans have not relaxed their defense of the Transcaucasus, from the current point of view, they have at least 3 air corps stationed in the Transcaucasus, with more than 2,300 single-engine and twin-engine fighters, and have a complete ground radar system and anti-aircraft artillery network, the Germans have deployed at least more than 400 large and medium-caliber anti-aircraft artillery batteries in this mountainous area, as for the radar system is a combination of high and low, there are almost no dead spots for large aircraft groups to enter. If we don't want to break through in the early stage, we can only slowly clear the early warning radar and airfield on the other side's periphery. "Although we have 7,500 planes in our hands, these planes have to be distributed in the two battlefields of the two river basins and the Transcaucasian region at the same time, and at the same time to ensure the safety of our own airspace, so the number of bombers that can be assigned to the Transcaucasian oil fields in the end is not particularly large. Then consider the other party's strict prevention and control system and fleet. Liu Yaping prefers to take his time. Strategic bombing takes a long time to be effective, and it is definitely not something that can be completely killed after a wave has passed.

"Don't be in a hurry yet, wait for the Germans and the British to fight. You can now start exploratory bombing. Wait until a second major naval battle breaks out in the Atlantic, and then you will do it again. We need to release these pressures at the same time. Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

And just when China and the Entente were about to give the Germans more than one point of flowering, the heavy fists of the Luftwaffe Navy and Air Force were already raised high, across the narrow English Channel, and on the opposite side was the country that had made the rest of Europe hate and anger for hundreds of years! The Spanish armada was defeated, the Dutch had successfully reached the Thames, but in the end they tasted the consequences of defeat, and Napoleon, the hero of almost all of Europe, could only sigh, so what would happen to the German Empire this time?
