21 October 1942, Crown.

Standing on the roof of the two-story building that served as his headquarters, Lin Youde looked out at the strange scenery in front of him, which was a mixture of high mountains, desert and sea.

Three months had passed since the occupation of Egypt and the rendezvous with the French forces in Libya, and the war in the Mediterranean had reached a complete stalemate. The British desperately saved Alexandria, and as a result, this port became the trigger for the Mediterranean meat grinder for three months. In order to maintain Alexandria, the Anglo-American coalition had to organize a transport fleet to send supplies and troops to Alexander, while the Human Innovation Alliance desperately wanted to strangle the Anglo-American coalition transport.

So a magical scene happened, originally there was no Japanese navy in this time and space, so there should not be any "special allusions" of the Pacific War such as "Iron Bottom Bay", but now the two armies were stunned to turn the Bulge Strait into an Iron Bottom Bay.

At first, the British and American coalition forces felt that after occupying the competition, they could rely on the support of the land-based air force in the competition to pass the Guò Strait more safely, but they did not expect that the alliance would be very resolute in its will to fight, and the French air force had been dispatching troops from the city of Lunnis to attack the coalition airfield in the competition. At the same time, the combined air fleet of the Allied forces also attacked the "Chongguan" fleet at sea with extraordinary determination, and the allied fleet suffered heavy losses.

Later, the Anglo-American forces changed to the night passage of the Allied air force to the Guò Strait of Lunis, where the Allied air force could not organize a large-scale offensive, but did not expect to encounter the night attack fleet of the Allied Navy.

The French admiral originally wanted to continue to do the storage of the zài fleet, but Xia Li won the general election held in the middle of 42 by virtue of her heroic posture of resisting the British and American gods in the skies over France (this election was originally intended to be a large-scale invasion of French airspace by the British and American coalition forces, then Xia Li would definitely lose to the opposition party, please refer to the previous chapter BY Egg Pain Star Man for details) - and then Xia Li immediately put pressure on the French Navy, and the French Navy had no choice but to dispatch together with the Italian Navy, taking advantage of her more high-speed ships to form a fast night attack fleet, from the Adriatic Sea, attacked the Anglo-American fleet in the waters between Malta and Sicily at night in the Guò Strait.

In this era, in addition to the speed of the fleet related to the design of the ship, a big decisive factor is the boiler, whose boiler technology is good and the pressure is high, whose ship will run fast.

Before World War I, Britain had almost the best boilers, so the fleet had a considerable advantage in speed. While the Great Powers were still using straight-tube boilers, the Royal Navy was already using steam turbines. But this British advantage disappeared with alarming speed after the war.

In another time and space, before and after World War II, the highest boiler pressure was the German boiler, so Germany could build a high-speed running ship like Scharnhorst, but the German high-pressure boiler was unstable and could not work regularly at the theoretical optimal pressure value, so the German boiler pressure was not the highest in actual combat.

The country with the highest boiler pressure in actual combat was France, and the French Navy's Utopian class was the fastest destroyer of World War II, faster than the Japanese Navy's island wind. The original design output of the utopian main unit was 74,000 horsepower, and the design combat speed was 35-37 knots, but when it was running, the French themselves did not expect that the utopian turbine ran out of 120,000 horsepower with the support of the high-pressure boiler, which was 20,000 horsepower more than the main engine power of the Astro Boy.

The island wind energy has a speed of 40 knots, because it itself goes to high speed, and the ultimate output of the island wind turbine is only a little higher than the theoretical output of the utopian design level. Therefore, the island wind is much more compact in size than the utopian dream, in order to reduce the resistance in the water - the draft and width of the island wind are about one meter less than the utopian, and the length is ten meters less.

Later, because of the extreme speed of 40 knots to avoid the attack of the US army, the boiler overheated and exploded, and the highest speed sailing record of the utopian class was eight hours, which completely exploded the so-called "legend of the fastest Japanese navy".

After France, the first thing to do in terms of the speed of the battleships was Italy -- the French were originally able to build the utopian class because they were stimulated by the maximum speed of the Italian destroyer ship of 42 knots, so they made a utopian dream, and it turned out that the Italians were running naked, and the actual combat speed could not reach that speed.

After the Utopian class, the French also designed a large destroyer Mogador-class specially designed to sling the destroyer fleet led by Italian destroyers in the Mediterranean, and this kind of destroyer had only one mission, that is, a number of ships of the same type formed a fleet dedicated to destroying the enemy's destroyer fleet.

Of course, in the history of another time and space, Mogador only built two ships, and then there were no successes, only the utopian class was in the limelight.

Of course, naval battles in the Atlantic, North Sea and Mediterranean Sea are far inferior to the Pacific Theater in terms of intensity, and people can't blow it even if they want to brag about it, so there are no titles such as ghosts and nightmares, but when you look at the list of battle damages, it is clear and well-documented, saying that sinking a German transport ship is sinking a transport ship, and saying that three Utopian-class formations destroyed a German-Italian joint transport team is destroying a transport team.

Unlike the Japanese Navy, this naval battle has a destroyer called XX Nightmare, and that naval battle has a destroyer called a ghost or something, but when I look at the battle damage of both sides, oh my god, the Japanese Navy's battle damage is similar to that of the U.S. Navy, at least the United States did not lose battleships, on the other hand, the Japanese Navy, it was a heavy suffer.

Of course, the fantasy class also has many flaws, such as the lack of rotation speed of the main turret, and the stability of the main gun shooting in high sea conditions is also very problematic, but these problems have been solved in this time and space.

Lin Youde provided the French with a small main gun motor for destroyers, solved the problem of the speed of the main gun, and then pressed the automatic loader prepared for the new main battle tank on the French destroyer -- although the caliber of the main gun of the French destroyer is somewhat different from the next-generation main battle tank that Lin Youde is developing, the weight of the shells is actually not much different, and it can be used with a slight improvement.

In another time and space, the first time that a naval ship used a fully automatic reloading system was the American Des Moines-class heavy cruiser, after the Americans suffered a loss in the night battle of Iron Bottom Bay near Guadalcanal, they studied for a long time and thought that the main problem was that the eight-inch gun of their cruiser was too slow, so they made a full-turret electric, fully automatic loading ghost animal eight-inch gun, and then found that this gun was too heavy to be installed on the existing heavy cruiser, so they designed a new heavy patrol to install this new type of artillery.

When Des Moines was built, it had a six-second salvo of ghost beast firepower, and the density of fire was much higher than that of the final blueprint heavy patrol in the Japanese Navy's drawing library. But the Japanese Navy was almost on its knees when the design of Des Moines was finalized, and it was not even able to complete the drawing ship Ibuki-class, let alone the next stage of the Ibuki-class.

And in this time and space, the crown of the world's first fully automatic bomb loading warship was taken away by the Utopian class - but this is also thanks to the large hull of the Utopian class, and the narrow and compact hull of the island wind may not be able to fit it.

After installing the automatic loader, the main gun of the fantasy level can be fired in three seconds, and the ghost animal is a mess, and the stability problem does not matter: it doesn't matter if the stability is insufficient, it doesn't matter if you can't hit it accurately, just shoot a few more shots. What's more, the Mediterranean Sea is relatively calm, and the sea conditions have always been better.

In addition, Lin Youde also installed the best radar for the fantasy class, more space is great, you can install whatever you want, in contrast, the island - well, it's not black, it's not black, it's enough for people to have T-pants in the island style.

In short, the French fast fleet was rearmed by Lin Youde in this time and space, and together with the Italian fast fleet, it was thrown into the night battle in the Strait of Lunes, and the two sides fought back and forth.

In three months, the heavy patrols of the two sides were almost exhausted in the night battle in the Strait of Lunnis, and the French and Italian navies were supported by night fighters because of their technical equipment such as radar, and the battle damage ratio was better than that of the British and American coalition forces, but they could not withstand the many ships of the British and American coalition forces, and they would be disadvantaged if they were replaced.

However, because of the large number of cruisers and destroyers of the Anglo-American fleet, the convoy of the Atlantic route was flawed, and the results of the German submarines began to soar.

But this loophole is being filled at an alarming speed: the Americans have begun to mass-produce Fletcher-class destroyers, and it turns out that the Americans in time and space have one Fletcher in three days at most, and this time and space is probably in a hurry, and one Fletcher will start in two days, anyway, the Americans in this time and space do not need to mass-produce Essex-class aircraft carriers for the time being, and there is a lot of extra production capacity that can be squandered.

No matter how high the German submarine exchange ratio is, it can't stand this mass production method.

In the words of a real-time strategy game: "After learning the operation of my brother, the rest is just A past." ”

Lin Youde looked at the report sent from Potsdam these days, and deeply felt that he was wearing the wrong country, how good it was to wear the United States, he didn't need to use any brains at all, he could sit back and enjoy it after taking away Charlotte, and he could easily become the world's number one army expert and the world's number one naval expert.

What if the naval battle is fought until the Enterprise can fight, and one Essex-class aircraft carrier a month, are you afraid? The land battle was beaten into a dog by the German tank crews, it doesn't matter, it just blows out the Sherman lighter that the enemy can't kill, and then pushes it flat.

However, the U.S. military is actually quite capable of fighting, and the U.S. Navy is a bunch of hangers, what twin planes broke through the air defense circle of the Japanese mobile unit and injured the SBD pilot who left safely, the navigator who manipulated the aircraft carrier to dodge more than 20 aviation torpedoes and missed a single shot, and what battleship main gun squad that hit the theoretical limit rate of fire 1.5 times the theoretical limit in a night battle......

The U.S. Army almost, it seems that there are no particularly famous troops except for the Big Red First Division and the Airborne Forces, but that is because the U.S. Army has too many special units, and they always have an advantage in strength in the face of the German army, so it can only highlight the tenacity of the German army, even if it is fought well, it will not be particularly eye-catching, let alone be greatly exaggerated in later generations.

But the Germany that Lin Youde crossed can't be a pure reckless man.

He wasted all his efforts, took Egypt with a limited force, advanced to Lunnis, and finally avoided the worst of the situation of completely losing North Africa and thus losing the sea control in the Mediterranean, but after three months of hard work, he still failed to drive out Patton, who had occupied the big game. By all indications, Patton was gathering strength and preparing to wipe out all Confederates in Tunis in one fell swoop.

But for Lin Youde, there are two pieces of good news.

First, after nearly ten months of contraction, the imaginary space embodiment area of Cyprus can finally be mined in the periphery, and now the German alchemy industry has received a sufficient supply of element zero, and the production capacity and output of some refined alchemy products have been greatly increased, and the military industry department in Potsdam is studying what weapons can quickly change the situation of the war by putting these mass-produced alchemy elements into the production - as long as it lasts for a few more months, the change in alchemy production capacity should be able to be converted into combat effectiveness.

The second is that Angelita is about to give birth, and according to Ysera's report, Angelita is likely to become a combat force, and then the balance of the Divine Queen's combat power in the Mediterranean region will change - but there will also be a few months before Angelita recovers her combat power.

This means that Lin Youde will have to fend off Barton's offensive in these months.

Originally, Lin Youde wanted to go back to greet his fifth daughter in person, but now the situation of Connexus does not allow him to do so.

Although he still holds the title of commander of the Eastern Mediterranean theater, in fact the army of the French general Andrew is now under his command, and the troops of the German, French, Italian, and Turkish forces in Luncis are all mobilized by him. He, the de facto supreme commander, could not leave the front when Patton was about to attack.

However, Lin Youde is still a little excited, this is against Patton, originally fighting in North Africa, facing Montgomery is the authentic plot, but Montgomery in this time and space doesn't know where to go. Then, it doesn't seem bad to the last Patton, after all, he is also the number one Allied general on land in another plane.

Lin Youde has been planning a confrontation with Barton for more than a week, after he lost to Barton in the attack and failed to win the game again, and this time Lin Youde is determined to get back a point in the defensive battle.

(A bunch of people in the book review area and the post bar reminded me that Xuan Yuan Xuan is only responsible for the plot of the first three episodes of AZ, I just want to say, your too young, too simple Tucson is broken, milky.) The person who said these words obviously didn't know anything about the production process of Japanese animation, so I tell you that the position of Gen Xubuchi in the AZ production zuò group is called the original script, and the one that Katsuhiko Takayama plays is called the series composition. When there is no original script, the series composition is indeed responsible for the construction of the entire story, but when there is an original script, the task of the series composition is only to transform the story written from the original script into the outline of the animation script, and these outlines will be handed over to the screenwriter of each episode, and then the screenwriter will refine it into the script and storyboard.

So this is Lao Xu's pot, and Katsuhiko Takayama, as a composition of the series, can't change the direction of the story without Lao Xu's approval, and even if the final ending is not written by Lao Xu, he nodded and agreed.

But Katsuhiko Takayama also has to take the blame, because the characteristic of Lao Xuan is that you are convinced by feeding, look at Lao Xu's past works, which one is not feeding? Isn't the final ending of Devil Cry Street feeding? The song of Saya doesn't feed? Psychometrics don't feed at the end of season 1? FZ is also strictly fed in the end. But none of the above have such a big reaction as AZ, because these are fed skillfully, and most people will not realize that they are being fed without thinking carefully. So, now this is so unpalatable, it's a pot in the mountains. ）
