Chapter 1092: The first strike is the strongest
Although the two sides reached some consensus on some fundamental issues, such as once Germany and Austria attacked Italy with all their might, Italy would definitely not be able to stop it, and the Italian Navy needed to consider the transfer issue, but once it was to be implemented, Tycho's luck in his heart still made him unwilling to admit defeat like this, but anyone with some ability would be more conceited, so Tycho wanted to try other ways.
"Some valuable assets, such as equipment or something, we can slowly transfer them to Huaxia by means of investment, and for the families of naval personnel, we can also slowly transfer them to Huaxia, the United States and other places, after all, some people are willing to go to work in Huaxia, as for gold reserves? I feel like it's a bit early to talk about it. Tycho hesitated for a moment and continued: "But I am still not willing to let me leave Italy like this!" This is my country and I need to do my best to protect him! Even if you can't get a win. ”
"Do you know the cost of doing so? How many troops, money, and sacrifices are needed? And the end result is 80% failure...... Have you really decided to do so? In the face of Tycho's request, Lin Yongsheng was also a little entangled, because according to Huaxia's script, Italy would be abandoned, and Huaxia would carry out the plan of recovering as much as it could, and would invest some personnel and funds, but it was absolutely unwilling to fight a war with the Allies in the Mediterranean, and Tycho obviously knew how to start the war, but did not know how to end it all! Friendship is friendship. But Huaxia will not obviously be a war of attrition in this situation, not to mention, you want to consume it and be able to transport it in! . …。
"At least we tried. And we're not out of the blue. The Germans are still busy dealing with the financial crisis, and we can now take action against the Blackshirts. Destroy all their guilt. Tycho thought for a moment and said. He was also skeptical about whether this operation would work, because what Germany needed was an obedient puppet, and such a person was too easy to find, and there would be no one else without the Black Shirts.
"Speculation, if according to an old Chinese saying, is called striking grass and scaring snakes. And without Mussolini, there would be someone else. There is no shortage of careerists in this world. As Tycho expected. Lin Yongsheng did not appreciate Tycho's plan. "This behavior can even be counterproductive. Whether Germany and Austria can take Italy as soon as possible is not only the situation of resistance, but also their determination and the psychological bottom line that they can bear. And exposing strength too early will only lead to the opponent going all out at the beginning. It's not good for us. ”
"Won't they start doing it with all their might? This is against a moderately industrialized country, and he also has a strong navy. Tycho was slightly dissatisfied, because he felt that the other party looked down on Italy too much.
"Germany and Austria are monolithic. However, there is a difference in the interests of each other. Germany wanted to take over an Italy as intact as its puppet, but Austria-Hungary wanted a piece of the fallen Italy! Under normal circumstances, there was really no need for Germany to consider the attitude of Austria-Hungary, but before the German fleet entered the Mediterranean in a big way, it would be impossible to attack Italy without Austria-Hungary. And Austria-Hungary will not be stupid. Ferdinand (That's right, the one who was assassinated in history.) He would not work for Germany in vain, he would have to think carefully about inputs and outputs like a businessman. If you were Austria-Hungary, would you start doing your best? Lin Yongsheng asked..........
At this point. The Chinese were very accurate, and both Germany and Austria wanted to win at the lowest possible cost, although the Italian navy had already shown its strength last time. But Germany and Austria still did not want to settle Italy in the form of a medium war. Although the Luftwaffe said that it was willing to participate in the war, it said that there was a gap with the reality, such as how many planes and crews were mobilized, and more importantly, if the Luftwaffe wanted to participate in the war, it would definitely use the Austro-Hungarian forward airfield, so now the problem comes. What did Austria-Hungary think? Not to mention that Germany did not want a dilapidated Italy, and Austria-Hungary did not want to lose too much of its own strength for this. So if that's a good point. Then even if war breaks out, Italy already has the opportunity to transfer something. And if before that, the Italian navy did something to stimulate Germany and Austria, then how long can Italy itself support Germany and Austria in the face of Germany and Austria, which is doing its best? …。
"Of course, it's not about doing nothing, it's about when to do it and how to do it. Strikes against the remnants of the Blackshirts should be carried out before the other side decides to act, which can disrupt their deployment, even if they want to reformulate their plans. At the same time, we must prepare for war and buy time for the transfer by winning on the battlefield. Lin Yongsheng said, pointing to the large-scale map on the wall and said, "If it drags on for a longer time, it will be my mission here." ”。 …。
"Even if Germany and Austria start to do their best, I still don't think about the strength you have, except for the relatively small gap between the navy and the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, the only thing you can be sure of is the marines and part of the army that can be mobilized. The Blackshirts, though weak, were too narrow in the Adriatic Sea, and if Austria-Hungary decided to transport troops by sea, it would soon be able to make up for the rebels' shortcomings in the army. As for the Air Force. By the same token, your naval aviation and part of your air force are simply not capable of defending against the German-Austrian offensive...... More importantly, your fleet must not enter the Adriatic Sea. Too cramped, here is simply a hell of large warships, a paradise for planes and submarines. Lin Yongsheng said.
"I knew this very well, so I decided to defend myself with mines, frogmen, submarines and torpedo boats. At the same time, a number of fighter jets will be deployed. The main fleet will operate on the perimeter. Tycho nodded.
"Frogman?!" Hearing this term, the corners of Lin Yongsheng's mouth couldn't help twitching, he really couldn't understand how useful such a thing as a frogman could be. But out of politeness, he didn't say anything.
"If Germany and Austria decide to intervene on a large scale, the Italian fleet will attack on two fronts at the same time, in the Mediterranean theater, we will first block the southern exit of the Adriatic Sea with mines, and at the same time we will choose to engage the Austro-Hungarian fleet, and if conditions permit, we will launch attacks on bases such as Crete." Tycho did not dare to boast about it, but he said that he was still very confident in dealing with the Austro-Hungarian navy..........
"And the other battlefield is the Indian Ocean. The fleet I deployed in East Africa is designed to contain the opponent's fleet in wartime and relieve the pressure on the main fleet. Much of the oil needed by Germany and Austria needs to enter Europe through the Persian Gulf-Indian Ocean-Red Sea. If we make a fuss here, he can't ignore it. "Tycho is really determined to turn against the allies this time, and since he is ready to fight, then he will do everything!" Considering that the East African colonies are isolated from the sea, but they are not in a good location, and there are no borders with the Allied colonies, it would be very convenient for us to move if the British could supply us with ammunition and supplies. Mines in particular, I would like to lay minefields at the southern end of the Red Sea. ”
"That's a great plan, and now that you've decided, tell me how we can help as an ally. We will persuade the British government to provide the necessary assistance to the Italian Indian Ocean detachment, if the battleship is seriously damaged. You can also go to Huaxia for repairs. At the same time, we can provide the Italian Navy with air support of at least 400 aircraft and 300 crews before your operation, and the aircraft and crews of aircraft carriers and aviation cruisers ordered by your country in our country are counted separately. As for the land forces, although the Entente will not intervene in a big way, we will still try to persuade the Entente to organize a "volunteer legion" to participate in the ground war in Italy, so as to make up for the lack of ground forces. "Huaxia has always been very generous to its allies, and these are just the beginnings of aid. And then as the program unfolds, more aid and support ......... will follow.
"After the start of the war, Huaxia will continue to provide aviation support to your country, and we will open two routes, one to reach your colonies in East Africa, fly over Sudan and Libya and then into the Mediterranean, and the other to transport planes to France and fly directly from France to Italy, after the start of the war, we will supply your country with an average of no less than 60 fighters per week. Of course, none of these things will make your country pay. Assistance provided free of charge. Lin Yongsheng then added. …。 "You call this thing free?" Tycho looked up, pointed to the last page of the document and said, "If you let us deposit the gold reserves and other hard currency shipped out into the bank of Huaxia, these things will have a lot of interest per year alone, and you can do more with the funds, well, although you can also give some." But I always felt like we were still losing. Tycho said rather depressedly. But it's okay...... If you value this money so much, I think you must have a way to get this gold and silver out of the Mediterranean safely with my fleet, and tell me how we can get out in the future. Tycho asked.
"This question, I think there will be a result soon." Lin Yongsheng's answer surprised Tycho very much. The two sides began to talk so much, and the final result was not to get the Italian fleet out of the encirclement and suppression of the Allies? Why is it that by now, Huaxia still can't come up with a complete plan? Isn't this a cheat? …。
"It's not something we can do as a family. We are negotiating with the British and the Americans, and though it has not yet been concluded, I am sure that it will soon be agreed, and that if we can stop the German fleet from moving south, and at the same time deter Spain, we will be able to provide a way for your fleet to leave the Mediterranean. Lin Yongsheng said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
