When the Army succeeded in consolidating the fortifications on the Isle of Wight, the Battle of Isle of Wight was over. The German Empire now occupied most of Western Europe. Due to Ji Feng's influence, the Vichy France that was supposed to be produced was now driven to the African continent by Ji Feng. Vichy France then declared that it would take over all the French colonies and make Tunisia in Africa its capital.

The next day, Vichy France announced that it had ceded mainland France (including Corsica) to Germany and joined the Axis powers.

On June 1, the Duke of Windsor, the former king of the United Kingdom, proclaimed the Republic of England.

On June 2, the German Empire, the Italian Empire, the (smaller) Japanese Empire, Vichy France, and the Commonwealth of England (which was the government of the Duke of Windsor) announced the signing of the Axis of Five Powers Treaty. The treaty stipulates that in the event of an attack on any of the five powers, the remaining four powers are obliged to lend a helping hand, including political, economic, and military assistance.

On June 3, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands (in exile), Belgium (in exile), France (in exile), Poland (in exile), French Indochina, British Burma, China@China@Min@ and the Dutch East Indies announced the signing of the Declaration of the Anti-Fascist Alliance. The declaration stipulates that the above-mentioned countries will provide comprehensive and in-depth assistance until fascism is completely eradicated.

, Ji Feng returned to the Reichstag in Berlin; The Japanese ambassador to Germany, Hiroshi Oshima, hosted a welcome banquet.

On June 5, Ji Feng entered the normal track of life.

Just as Ji Feng was about to go to see the strategic bomber developed by Dr. Henkel, a report was sent to Ji Feng's desk by Bowman.

The report reads: In this naval battle, the British Royal Navy battleships "Revenge", "Ramirez", "War-weary", "Barham" and the aircraft carrier "Athletic" were sunk. The total tonnage is 140,200 tons. The rest injured about 58,000 tons.

Our U-551 was seriously wounded and sank, and 1 of the 48 people survived. The U-47 bridge was hit by a 127-mm shell, which is expected to take 3 days to repair. The bow torpedo hatch of the U-331 was hit by a downed Buffalo carrier-based fighter, and the repair is expected to be completed in two days.

The USS Graf Zeppelin was hit by the main battery of our surface fleet, the hull was damaged, and 112 people were killed or wounded, and it is expected to be completely repaired in 60 days. "Tirpitz" was hit by the C secondary gun, 30 casualties, and the repair could be completed in 20 days.

Ji Feng laughed after reading it, and thought about it while being happy: "It seems that Raeder's bottle of Louis XIII can't be saved, but it's not good if he makes these wines alone." I'll just take out two small boxes of 1932 Louis XIII and a 1900 bottle of LOUIS XIII, which I don't need now. ”

Reddell obediently held a drinking party because he lost the bet, and just as he was about to open the bottle of wine, Ji Feng said, "Hey, Reddell, wait." Look at me here's the loot! ”

Raeder took the big box that Ji Feng gave him and looked at it carefully, and then the whole person was shocked. Then he asked: "My Führer, where did this come from?" ”

Ji Feng said lightly: "These wines come from the ancient castle in the middle of the Isle of Wight. But this is clearly not the wealth of the British. The British have amassed so much wealth over the centuries of colonial plunder that we may not be able to see more than one percent of what is actually there. Most of this property, according to my intelligence department, is scattered in the royal coffers in the various counties.

Looks like we're hard to get, doesn't it? ”

Bowman and Goering nodded, then Bowman looked down at his glass, and Goering caressed his sapphire ring as if he were showing off his wealth.

Ji Feng said: "Everyone's thoughts seem to be imprisoned. Think about what we're going to do? ”

Bowman: "Marshal Raeder's banquet!" ”

Goering: "Uh-huh! ”

Himmler: "The upcoming birthday of the party." ”

Ribbentrop: "The first Axis conference to be held. ”

Ji Feng shook his head and said, "No, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." We're attacking England! I believe that the British Army, without the support of the Navy and Air Force, they will not be able to withstand for long! So the British royal family will transfer all the possessions, but we can't block the entire British coastline. ”

Raeder's eyes lit up: "We can use submarines to block the sea transport lines of the British!" ”

Ji Feng nodded appreciatively: "That's right." Since the Industrial Revolution, Britain has been severely short of domestic resources. Now they are more dependent on imports for most of their resources. Such an economic system is very unsound, because in this way, if the lifeline of the sea is cut off, the whole country will be in danger! Now, our submarines can hunt in the Atlantic, sinking all merchant ships that have the potential to provide resources for Britain. If necessary, we can carry out 'unrestricted submarine warfare' as we did in World War I.[Note 1]. Defeat the British like this! ”

Suddenly a burst of sycophants flew up below, and Ji Feng pressed his hands and signaled everyone to calm down.

Then Ji Feng continued: "Don't forget what the Americans did during World War I, they joined the Entente after seeing us lose power. And to declare war on us on the grounds that our submarines attacked their merchant ships, and of course William II's letter to the President of Mexico also has a certain share. But! Don't forget the disgusting faces of the Americans! Now, they are already sending arms to Britain and other countries under the banner of neutral countries! During the Battle of the Isle of Wight just past, I saw a four-way tank converted from an American active half-track armored vehicle. What does this mean? This already shows that the Americans are provoking our authority!

Unfortunately, we do not have the right weapons to attack the United States, which is on the other side of the ocean. Now we must step up training and scientific research. Adhere to the cause of compulsory education (which is also one of the important policies of the national society to come to power), so as to improve the scientific research capacity of our country. In this way, we will be able to avenge the defeat in the First World War, and we will be able to throw back to those unequal treaties that the Entente imposed on our country! Ji Feng said that in the end, he also made Xiao Xiaoxi's signature move - the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were raised together, and he threw it forward fiercely. So Xiao Xiaoxi's handful of iconic hair fell in front of Ji Feng.

Looking at Raeder, who was slightly frustrated, Ji Feng said in a baritone: "Raeder, let's stop building surface warships for the time being, and build at least 100 level 7 and 9 submarines with snorkels. Then he leaned up to Raeder and said, "There is one of our supporters overseas who will repair and refit the Graf Zeppelin for us, and in addition to building the B ship for us, of course, the conversion is the same." Then he promised to provide us with a very advanced 9B-class submarine after it was repaired in a day. He said that a hydrogen-powered engine was used for the first time in the submarine, which he said would allow the submarine to cruise permanently underwater, but the technology has not yet been proven. This submarine will have a real mission. ”

Raeder was overjoyed to hear that his navy could be stronger. Ji Feng continued: "Don't forget the British Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, we only hurt their home fleet. The Mediterranean Fleet still has very strong combat effectiveness. Coupled with the US Navy, the pressure on the Navy is not small. ”

As soon as the sad Raeder became happy, he asked Ji Feng to pour a large basin of absolute freezing point level cold water without reservation. Without waiting for Raeder to adapt to the temperature of the absolute freezing point, Ji Feng gave Raeder another confidence: "The performance of our aircraft carrier is said to be able to improve a lot. When we have a second aircraft carrier, the shape of our Navy will be much better. Don't give up, Raeder. There is no invincible enemy in this world, and at this time it is a test of our willpower! ”

Raeder got a promise from the Führer, and suddenly the whole person was in the dark.

Next, it was the turn of the fat man to bleed. Ji Feng said lightly to Goering: "Goering, I think that there are some old BF-109E and Ju-87C in the Air Force that can be modified and handed over to the naval aviation." Even though you have lost these planes now, trust me, soon you will get more and better planes. ”

Ge Fatzi obviously didn't know why Ji Feng made such a promise, but out of the prestige that Xiao Xiaoxi had accumulated, Goering still agreed.

Ji Feng said this because he knew that Goering's Focke-Woolf FW-190 was in full swing and would soon be able to build the first FW-190 fighter.

In addition, he has now given Junkers a new engine drawing, the diesel \ gasoline engine in this drawing can not only adapt to various fuels, as long as it is not loaded with heavy oil or charcoal, it can fly, and the working hours are short, the cost is low, the output is large, and the range can also be increased a lot; In addition, the exhaust gas turbocharger added by Ji Feng to it makes the high-altitude performance of this engine better, which completely solves the problem of poor high-altitude performance of the FW-190. This is also one of Ji Feng's hole cards: the best of the strengthened piston engine, it can be said that the research of piston engine is close to the peak @ peak, and the next step should be to vigorously develop turbine engines.

Tokyo, the capital of the small Japanese Empire. Emperor Hirohito is listening to a briefing from Prime Minister Hideji Tojo. Due to the recent defeat in the war of aggression against China, the people in China have begun to be indignant. Now the Tojo cabinet urgently needs a message to calm the people in the country. As soon as they wanted to sleep, their allies brought them pillows: the German Empire's High Seas Fleet defeated the British Royal Navy's home fleet at the Battle of the Isle of Wight, with a victory of more than 100,000 tons.

So Tojo grasped a life-saving straw, and on the one hand, he hyped up how powerful his country's allies were at home, and on the other hand, he attributed all the credit for being able to form an alliance to his cabinet. Hiroshi Oshima was also summoned.

But the small Japanese Empire, despite its great joy, did not declare war on the British. Due to the U.S. oil embargo, Japan is now relying on a small amount of oil from Borneo to survive this catastrophic war. Now the military department (the ruling faction in Japan) has begun to plan an air raid on Hawaii. Now the Japanese have decided to take a desperate gamble and go south while sneaking into Hawaii.

The reason why he didn't go north was because during the Battle of Normenhan, the National Treasure 1st Tank Division was defeated by the Soviet Light Tank Division, and the Kwantung Army was also greatly hit.

Stay in the country. Mussolini saw that his allies, relying on equipment inferior to his own navy, who knew how many times worse, actually crushed the home fleet of the British Royal Navy! And he once declared that "the Mediterranean Sea is our sea!" This propaganda slogan has not yet come true, and now "our seas" are still closely guarded by the British Mediterranean fleet.

So Mussolini was not angry, why could others win him. Mussolini did not take into account the general lack of enthusiasm of his Italian army, as he might have known if he had sent troops to North Africa now. Now Italian soldiers would even surrender to the British in droves, and their supplies included even more wine than ammunition.

But the big @dictatorial @dictator@ didn't care about this, and directly ordered the navy not to return to Hong Kong if it could not sink the 100,000-ton British ** ship.

So the little wrecked ships that were standing in a daze set fire and drove out of the harbor.

In the British Empire, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and King George V were discussing national policy.

George V snorted coldly when he saw the navy's casualty report and threw it to Churchill, who was sitting opposite. Churchill, as the former Secretary of the Admiralty, was stunned when he saw this report, thinking that he really could not believe that the most elite home fleet of the British Empire's heroic and invincible Royal Navy had been routed by the High Seas Fleet, which had long since fallen to the Germans.

And now, if it weren't for all kinds of resources from the United States, Britain would have collapsed at home. Now, it seems that it will take a long time and a lot of resources to rebuild a native fleet. But the Germans are clearly not going to give themselves that time. So Churchill proposed: "Your Majesty, now we must think not only about how to resist, but also how to make our shipyards more efficient." Only by making our shipbuilding more efficient will we be able to resist the German navy.

No matter how strong the German navy is, it has not been more than 50 years since it was formed (here Wilhelm II instructed Tirpitz to build an ocean-going fleet), and the Royal Navy of the British Empire has been in force for more than 300 years (from the 16th century to the 20th century, it is indeed more than 300 years), no matter how powerful their fleet is, I believe it will be short-lived.

As long as we can strengthen the application of aircraft carriers, we will definitely be able to defeat the fascists! ”

King George V of England was not so optimistic: "The Germans have found the Duke of Windsor and established the Windsor House. Their idea is to drive us out. ”

Churchill looked out the window a little sadly: "I, it's a big deal to live under the care of the Germans for more than ten years." Or they just give me a hard time. But your majesty, they will probably let you spend the rest of your life in a small and unknown estate. ”

Churchill's words succeeded in cheering George V, and even if he was defeated by the Germans now, he would not end well, so he might as well try to resist.

[Note 1] Unrestricted submarine warfare: When fighting at sea, submarines need to take into account many things, such as whether there are passengers or crew members of neutral countries on the merchant ship. But unrestricted submarine warfare has lifted this restriction, which means that every merchant ship that behaves suspiciously will be sunk indiscriminately.
