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 through guò investment, and for the families of naval personnel, we can also slowly transfer them to Huaxia, the United States and other places now, after all, some people are willing to work in Huaxia, as for the 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 in the end, 80% of the results will fail, have you really decided to do it? 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, Tycho obviously knew how to start the war, but did not know how to end this qiē! Friendship is friendship, but Huaxia will not obviously be a war of attrition in this situation. What's more, if you want to consume, you have to be able to transport it in!

"At least we tried. And we are not without chances, the Germans are still busy dealing with the financial crisis. 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, according to an old Chinese saying, is called scaring the grass and scaring the snake, and without Mussolini there will be others. 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 the Germans and Austrians can take Italy as much as possible is not only the situation of resistance, but also their determination and the psychological bottom line that they can bear. And exposing one's strength too early will only lead the other party to do it with all their might from the beginning. It's not good for us. ”

"Won't they start doing it with all their might? This is in the face of a moderately industrialized country. And he also has a powerful navy. Tycho was slightly dissatisfied, because he felt that the other party looked down on Italy too much.

"Although Germany and Austria are monolithic, there are differences in their interests. Germany wanted to take over an Italy as intact as its puppet, but Austria-Hungary wanted a piece of the fallen Italy! If it is under normal circumstances. There really was no need for Germany to take into account the attitude of Austria-Hungary. But before the German fleet entered the Mediterranean in a big way, Austria-Hungary could not do without attacking Italy. And Austria-Hungary will not be stupid, Ferdinand (that's right, the assassinated lord 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, Huaxia grasped very accurately, and Germany and Austria wanted to win at the lowest possible cost. Although the Italian navy had already shown its strength last time, Germany and Austria still did not want to settle Italy in the form of a medium-range dù war. Although the Luftwaffe expressed its readiness to go to war. But there is a gap between the statement and the reality, such as how many planes and crews are mobilized, and more importantly, if the Luftwaffe wants to participate in the war, it must use the Austro-Hungarian forward airfield, so now the question arises, what does 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 this is done well, then even if war breaks out, Italy already has a chance to divert 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 through victory 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 to Guò, 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 fleet and part of your air force are simply not capable of defending against the German-Austrian attack, and more importantly, your fleet will never be able to enter the Adriatic. 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 guò 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, but he was still very confident in dealing with the Austro-Hungarian navy.

"The other battlefield is the Indian Ocean, and the fleet I deployed in East Africa is to contain the opponent's fleet and relieve the pressure on the main fleet in wartime. Much of the oil needed by Germany and Austria needs to enter Europe via 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, and if the ship is damaged, it can go to China 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 more aid and support will come as the program unfolds.

"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 raised his head, pointed to the last page of Wen Jiàn, and said, "The premise is that you let us deposit the gold reserves and other hard currency shipped out into the bank of Huaxia, and these things will pay a lot of interest every year, 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 well, 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 talk about how we can get out of it in the future. Tycho asked.

"This question, I think there will be a result soon." Lin Yongsheng's answer surprised Tycho very much, and the two sides began to talk so much, and the final result was not to let the Italian fleet get rid 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?

"This is not something we can do, we are negotiating with the British and the Americans, and although it has not yet been fruitful, I believe that it will be agreed soon, as long as we can stop the German fleet from moving south, and at the same time deter Spain, then we can provide a way for your fleet to leave the Mediterranean." Lin Yongsheng said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
