"It seems that we are ahead of the Allies." After reading the information, Lin Yongsheng handed it to Tycho and continued: "Germany is going to make a move, and this time it will also pull Austria-Hungary. Although he didn't get much news, considering the news of this summit of the two emperors and the subsequent large-scale transfer of several Luftwaffe wings, Lin Yongsheng could sense that the war was approaching. It's not clear when exactly you'll start counting, but it's not too far away.

"The two aircraft carriers we built ourselves, the Aquila and the Eagle, are almost completed, and the Flying Eagle that your country has built for us can also be put into battle at any time, and we will have three aircraft carriers by then. Austria-Hungary could only have a maximum of 3 aircraft in wartime, two of which were medium aircraft carriers, and we had an advantage in aviation. But if we take into account the possible German fleet and the air base group in the Balkans, we are still at a disadvantage. Tycho thought for a moment and said.

"So, our final action should be before the German detachment enters the Mediterranean. Once the Germans came, we could not even guarantee the superiority of mobile forces. In the future, according to your plan, the Italian fleet could only be based in Sicily, with Messina as a forward base and Sicily as the rear. But is it really okay to abandon the North like that? Lin Yongsheng looked at the map and asked. In the arrangement of the Tycho, there will be no large surface ships in the Adriatic, except for submarines and torpedo boats. The Italian navy will concentrate in Sicily and Sicily, on the one hand, to avoid the air attacks of the other side, on the other hand, this is the nest of the Italian navy, and at the same time can also obtain Libyan oil. It's a nice base.

"There is no way, the army side has been slow to express its position on our construction, and there are some people who have secretly communicated with the Allies and Mussolini. With our current manpower, it will be difficult for us to build a complete front. But don't worry. As soon as the operation begins, I will mine the main port cities on the Adriatic coast under the cover of the air force. At the same time, aviation will also organize the shipping of the opposing side. Of course, if the land forces promised by the Entente can reach us, we can still fight each other in the north. Although the number of people may only be in the tens of thousands. Tycho smiled wryly.

Tycho's argument makes it even clearer that Italy itself is difficult to hold, and that all actions are nothing more than delaying time. To buy time for the transfer of the remaining people and supplies, all the transport ships will transport the personnel and supplies to Toulon, France, and then to the ports on the Atlantic coast by the Tongguò railway. Then depart for Huaxia. When the work on the Iqiē transport was completed, the Italian Navy was ready to retreat. Of course, before leaving, Tycho still wanted to shoot those traitors and then yell, "One day I will come back!" ”

"2 months before you guys started. You need to let us know. We will send a fleet to visit Italy, and in the event of German and Austrian intervention, our fleet can help you deal with the blackshirts in the name of evacuation. If Deao doesn't open his eyes, Huaxia doesn't mind fighting a skirmish first. Even if the Italian Navy loses its entire fleet in the end, we will still send you to China, no matter what method you use and what the price you pay. In the end, Lin Yongsheng gave Tycho a promise. It can be regarded as eliminating the other party's worries.

At the same time, while the Chinese and Italian navies were in full swing of preparations, Britain, the United States and France had to fulfill their obligations. Britain was busy preparing its own fleet and strengthening its own air forces in order to block the German High Seas Fleet in the North Sea if necessary, together with the Chinese fleet. At the same time, the construction of new logistics facilities began to supply the Chinese fleet from afar. And the Americans and the French were responsible for providing ground forces to enter Italy under the guise of "volunteerism". And among the troops that the United States and France are preparing to send, there are also two celebrities. One is called Barton, and the other is called de Gaulle! In order to ensure the support of the Allies to Italy, France expressed its willingness to open Toulon and Corsica as distribution bases for supplies.

"From now on, we must complete the preparations for the 20+11 years, and if the time drags on too late, I am afraid that Germany and Austria will do it first." Integrating all aspects of intelligence, Lin Yongsheng said.

"When exactly will the Entente be able to wage a large-scale war?" Tycho was still a little unwilling, and if he could delay until the Entente restored its national strength, Italy would really be able to escape this catastrophe.

"At least until 20+14, the Entente had no idea of going to war. And I feel that Germany will be fully restored in 20+12 years. We can't wait until this time. And even by this time, the German naval base in the Mediterranean should have been almost completed, right? In the face of an all-out blow from the German-Austrian Navy, how long could the Italian Navy last? And the entire Mediterranean Sea is a closed zone, even if the Anglo-American fleet is strong? If Germany strengthens Spain, the western gate, it will not be easy to break through this base. Lin Yongsheng paused and continued.

"The result is certain, no matter when it moves, Italy will not be an opponent of the Allies, although it is cruel, but we can only do our best, and now the greatest advantage is that the German fleet is still in the North Sea, and we can limit it to the North Sea. Germany and Austria are currently limited in strength, and we can delay it for a longer time. At the same time, the most important thing is that we can take the other party by surprise first. This first-mover advantage is obvious. Of course, I am not encouraging Italy to provoke Germany and Austria. The Italian Air Force was too weak and had very limited strike capabilities against Germany and Austria. Lin Yongsheng said helplessly.

In this plane, there are only more than 1,700 military aircraft of various kinds in Italy, 170 carrier-based aircraft for two aircraft carriers on the navy, more than 300 land-based aircraft in various bases, and more than 100 aircraft in Libya and East African colonies. Aside from these numbers, there are about 1,000 aircraft, and it is difficult to say how many of these military aircraft belonging to the Italian Air Force can be used once the war starts, and more importantly, the proportion of these aircraft is old, and the number of twin-engine bombers is also relatively low, only about 20%. Taking the initiative to provoke Germany and Austria on such a scale will not only not have any impact, but will further provoke the opponent, so the result of Huaxia's positioning of the Italian Air Force is that as long as it can contain the opponent's air strikes, it will do its best as far as it can attack the sea and the ground.

"But if your country agrees to provide 300 aircraft of various types at the beginning of the war, as well as carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier Flying Eagle, plus the assistance of no less than 200 aircraft per month thereafter, will this not be enough to suppress the German and Austrian air forces?" Tycho asked, somewhat surprised. In his opinion, although it cannot be compared with the total amount of the German-Austrian Air Force. But Germany needed to deal with the Anglo-French air forces at the same time. Most of the naval aviation will not participate in the battle in the Mediterranean direction, and perhaps when China and Britain Chen soldiers in the North Sea, the German naval aviation will have to make every effort to cope with the pressure in the North Sea direction, and Italy, which has received a lot of support in the Mediterranean direction, should have the advantage.

"You don't understand, you don't know how huge the energy of a first-class power is once it is mobilized, to be honest, I started to think the same as you, but your teacher told me that this point must be observed. Understanding must be complied with, and understanding must also be complied with, in short, it is not possible to over-stimulate Germany and Austria. Lin Yongsheng smiled bitterly. remembered that before leaving, Xu Jie repeated at least 3 times when he saw him off at the airport. Lin Yongsheng still decided to carry out Xu Jie's order. As he said, if you don't understand, you have to obey!

People in this plane don't know how big the military production capacity is in World War II, but Xu Jie knows that in history, if you want to talk about efficiency, the Second German Reich under the Kaiser will completely blow up the mustachioed Third Reich. And Germany in this plane is stronger than Germany in World War 2. Historically, Germany produced more than 40,000 aircraft of various kinds under the bombing in 1944, of course, you cannot expect that the current Germany has the same industrial capacity as the later Germany in 1944, nor can you say that the current Germany can carry out such a deep mobilization. But let's not forget that today's planes are far less sophisticated than they were in 1944, and at the same time, the German mainland will not be bombed by the United States and Britain, and the Germans will not be short of fuel as they were in history. What's more, even if this number is cut in half, it will be a monthly production capacity of nearly 2,000 aircraft, which is not counting Germany, not Austria-Hungary, and the 200 aircraft given by China every month is a drop in the bucket.

So Xu Jie's meaning is very simple, drag it out as long as you can, take away everything you can take, and the rest of the meaning is on the line, Xu Jie has no intention of competing with the allies in the Mediterranean. It seems to give a lot of things, but once you engage the enraged German and Austrian, these things are really not enough. And now when Daqing, Tyumen and other large oil fields are still under construction, China is really inseparable from the oil of the Middle East.

"By the way, can Italy's gold reserves be guaranteed to be shipped out?" In the end, Lin Yongsheng still asked with some concern, that is thousands of tons of various gold and silver. (The author really doesn't know how much gold reserves Italy has, so let's just visually measure the gold reserves shipped to the United States after France's defeat in World War 2 are probably more than 2,000 tons.) The author will estimate it in terms of the proportion of national strength. If it can be put in China, it will definitely be of great benefit to the future development of China.

The cooperation between China, the Entente and the Italian Navy was in full swing, and at this time, another major event had happened in the world naval circles, but this time, it seemed to be good news for China, the Entente and the Italian side. German Admiral Schell has died! This is not the end, and as a close friend of Schell's life, Admiral Hipper did not attend the entire funeral, but left with his face exposed, which made the outside world doubt the health of the German admiral!
