Destroying the Sun Chapter 63 The Beautiful Ocean

Germany, Berlin, Supreme High Command.

"Are you saying that the battalion commanded by Adolphus took the lead in capturing the Japanese headquarters on Oahu? Ha, that's good! ”

After listening to the report of the special intelligence officer, Chen Tianle said that since he ascended the throne, some historical "dangerous figures" have become the object of his attention, and for this reason, the Ministry of Intelligence has also specially set up a special special intelligence section, and the spy personnel under the intelligence department are in groups of four to five to conduct all-round surveillance of a specific person. In this group, some are responsible for liaising with their superiors, while others are unwittingly blending into the circle of this person's life, such as Adolf Hitler's orderlies and a company commander. As it stands, Germany did not lose the First World War, and Adolf did not suffer the double blow of body and spirit after the defeat, so his performance in all aspects was very normal. However, despite all indications that Adolf had a unique strategic vision but a very average tactical performance, Chentian had no intention of promoting him further, which is the same reason that Hermann Goering could not be a higher-level commander - once they were in a high position and some potential "political talent" was stimulated, it would not be a good thing for Chentian and Germany.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" In this room of only two people, the special intelligence officer said reassuringly: "Captain Adolf performed very bravely in the battle, and the Japanese army could not stop the attack of their battalion despite desperate resistance!" The subordinates thought that Captain Adolf's bravery was fully worthy of an Iron Cross! ”

"Major, that's not something you should be concerned about!" Chen Tian unceremoniously reminded that as an intelligence officer, it is a taboo to show your own opinions on your own mission.

The major really apologized again and again, "Well, it's a subordinate who has lost his word, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”

"Remember!" There was no anger on Chentian's face, to be honest, since the navy won the Battle of Hawaii. He's always been in a good mood, and besides, the intelligence officer's mistakes are not unforgivable.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates must remember today's lesson!" The intelligence officer was visibly relieved.

"By the way, Herman, how is Goering?" Speaking of Adolf, Chen Tian naturally remembered his partner in the other world. As far as Chen Tian himself is concerned, he dislikes Goering's big fat man very much. Because of the Dunkirk retreat, because of the British air battle, and the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, until now Chentian did not want to see Goering commanding even a squadron of fighters. Although he was a little paranoid, Chen Tian was unwilling to take this risk with the Empire's excellent pilots.

"I've woken up from a coma, but it's going to take a while to recover! According to other captured pilots, Goering was beaten in retaliation for speaking disrespectfully to the Japanese officers! The intelligence officer replied without a hint of personal opinion this time.

"Oh, unfortunate fellow!" Chen Tian shook his head, and after a moment, he asked again, "What about our heroes?" I'm referring to Gunther. Lieutenant General Lüttejes! ”

"Back to Your Majesty. Lieutenant General Lütejes has been transferred from a field hospital in Hawaii to Mexico. If nothing else, I'll be back in Germany next week! According to the military doctor, it will take about a month for his injuries to recover! ”

"Oh!" Chentian replied, and the role of Lüttejes and his "Wools" in the naval battle of Hawaii was obvious.

This was not in vain Chentian's trust in him, but Lutejes and his ship were wounded together in the battle, and the "Wools" was forced to return to the port of Mexico for repairs.

"Does Your Majesty have any other orders?"

"Uh, no, you go down first!"

Chen Tian quickly fell into his own thoughts, since Gunther. Lütthetheus proved to be up to the task, and the expeditionary fleet, which was now being assembled on the mainland, could not find a suitable commander for a time because of the deterioration of Marshal Scheer's health. Why not......

On the other side of the world, in the late summer and early autumn months of March, Oceania is sunny but not hot during the day, and the cool breeze at night helps to improve the quality of sleep, and the fields are full of abundant harvests, and herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely in the natural pastures. If there is no war, this land far from Eurasia, away from the hustle and bustle, will be a paradise that is very suitable for human life.

However, at this time, Oceania was flying dazzling plaster flags everywhere, under the rule of Japan's colonial rule. The people of Australia and New Zealand are enduring unprecedented oppression and suffering, and the resistance movements are rising one after another, but most of them are attracted by the bloody suppression of the Japanese occupation forces, and the people are looking forward to the early arrival of the liberators.

Shortly after the evacuation of the governments of Australia and New Zealand from Oceania, the leaders of the two countries agreed with King Robert I of Britain to form the Oceania Liberation Alliance, and actively recruited troops in Europe, and a large number of volunteers joined the army and navy of the Liberation Alliance, including regular soldiers and exiles from Australia and New Zealand, officers and soldiers of the former British Empire, and even French and Slavs, some of whom came for the liberation of their homeland, and some of whom came for justice. In short, after nearly two years, the size of this coalition army has 310,000 army officers and soldiers and more than 70,000 naval officers and men, the army is mainly equipped with the regular army of the Kingdom of Britain and the regular army of Germany, a total of 22 infantry divisions, 2 armored divisions, 1 cavalry division and 16 flying squadrons, the navy has 1 battleship, 12 cruisers, 26 destroyers, 1 light aircraft carrier, 33 submarines and nearly 100 auxiliary ships, and the army and navy are stationed in northern Scotland.

This coalition army, despite its strength, was not strong enough to confront the Japanese army and navy before the German-Japanese war, and the real turning point for the Oceania Liberation Alliance was Germany's declaration of war on Japan. In order to counter the German military power in the Far East, the Japanese government had to reduce the military strength stationed in Oceania to a relatively low level, and it was the German North Sea Fleet, which was added to the Allied naval combat sequence as an Allied force soon after, which was led by the German Vice Admiral. The fleet commanded by Admiral Wilhelm Zuchon consisted of the battleship "Baden", the battlecruiser "Mackensen", the Ernst-class aircraft carrier "Ernst", 2 Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, 5 escort carriers, 4 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 28 destroyers, 22 submarine hunters, 36 submarines, in addition to 12 cruise ships, 80 transport ships and oil tankers called up by the German Navy. Under the command of General William Zuxiong, these are the ships that the Union forces most desperately need at the moment.

"The great coalition army will save the people of Oceania from the dire straits!"

On January 1, 1929, King Robert I of Britain, President Morris of Australia, President Hughes, President of New Zealand. William. Ferguson. Marcy co-authored the Emancipation Proclamation in London, in which 400,000 Allied troops vowed to expel every Japanese invader from Oceania. 812078 Subsequently, the Chilean government, which had declared war on Japan, allowed the troops of the Alliance for the Liberation of Oceania to use three ports off the coast of Chile as advance bases, plus two naval bases on the long-term lease of land by Germany in Chile. The Confederate forces easily gained the offensive pedal in South America.

After more than a month of careful preparation, the first batch of 120,000 officers and men of the Union Army boarded the ships in various ports on the west coast of Scotland, and the fleet was escorted by the Union fleet across the vast Atlantic Ocean to Chile, the first stop of the trip.

On 20 February, Zuchon's fleet joined up with the Atlantic Fleet under the command of German Vice Admiral Benck, and the two fleets immediately launched an attack on the Japanese entrenched in the Polynesian islands. The Japanese quickly adopted a defensive strategy of shrinking and concentrating the main army and naval forces on Tahiti, so that only a week later, all the islands of the Polynesian archipelago except Tahiti were recovered by the German navy.

After that, the Germans laid siege to Tahiti with surface ships, naval aviation, and submarines, and built airfields on several islands near Tahiti.

Although the Japanese tried their best to prevent the Germans from building airfields, thanks to the efforts of the German naval engineering units, by the beginning of March, three medium-sized airfields and four small airfields had been completed, and the German light aircraft carriers soon brought four squadrons of fighters and one squadron of Dornier II long-range bombers from the Chilean naval base. After a large number of anti-aircraft artillery units have been deployed around these airfields.

The Germans left only General Benck's fleet to continue the siege of Tahiti, while General Zuchon's fleet returned to Chile.

In mid-February, the landing flotilla of the coalition troops again set sail from Chile. Their goal was New Zealand, Oceania.

"It's nice to finally be able to go home!" A middle-aged man dressed as a British Army soldier excitedly looked at the clear blue sea, more than 1,000 nautical miles ahead of him was his hometown, New Zealand. New Zealand's military was much weaker than Australia's, and it fell earlier than Australia after the Japanese invasion, so New Zealand soldiers in the Allied army were the ones who spent the longest time away from home.

"Yes, now that we have a strong navy and army, we want to let the little devils taste our strength!" Another New Zealand soldier clutched the plum in both hands. It can be said that the calculation of the Australian and New Zealand government to stay out of the world situation has long laid the groundwork for the Japanese invasion in 1927 - rich in products and resources but without strong military force. This is no different from Tang Seng in Journey to the West, which is as coveted.

"One more week, another week, and I'll be able to see my family! My wife, my daughter, and my old mother! A soldier who looked to be no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old muttered excitedly, and everyone around him was moved by this scene, although many people knew about the atrocities of the Japanese army in the occupied area, but at this time no one was willing to speak out against this young father, good husband, good son.

Judging from the tone and content of the conversation, most of the soldiers on board the transport ship were New Zealanders. At least that's how it is on this deck. But on the wooden box near the ladder near the side of the ship sat an officer in a trench coat, a crooked hat, and a glance at the mustache, a classic English officer's dress, who looked to be about forty-five years of age, and whose blue eyes seemed to have a natural sense of melancholy. While everyone around him was talking, he was silently looking at the sea alone.

As a native of England, Morey has never been to New Zealand or Australia, nor has any relatives in Oceania, nor has he ever seen himself as a superman who can bring justice to the world, the reason why he came to this army and served as an officer of this group of New Zealanders is simple, he is a professional soldier, a farmer, a worker or a small trader is not a role he can adapt to, since the army of the British Empire collapsed with the fall of the empire, Morey has sunk at the bottom of society for a long time, And today, he has been waiting for this opportunity for more than ten years.

"Mr. Ensign, what are you thinking? New Zealand? Oh, I promise you'll love it at first sight! ”

A New Zealand sergeant, who was older than Morey, came to his side at some point and sat on the deck next to him with a big grin.

"No, it's just thinking about the old days!" Morey replied very vaguely that although the road ahead was full of unknown dangers, he still envied these New Zealanders from the bottom of his heart, at least they still had expectations, and their own "home", and his own home had long ceased to exist more than ten years ago - a gentle and virtuous wife, three lively and lovely children, such an enviable home disappeared in an instant because of a bomb, which is why Morey hated war and the Germans so much. But today, he was forced to put on a military uniform again, had to go to the battlefield full of violence and death again, and had to fight side by side with the Germans.

Morey raised his head and glanced at the two German soldiers standing in the bow of the ship, they both joined the Union army as volunteers, in Morey's opinion, the gray military uniform and the unique field military hat made him feel dazzling, if it were not for reason to restrain himself, he would rush up and beat the other party hard.

"Aha, let the past pass! When we take Wellington back from the Japanese, I will treat you to a drink, for I have a few good bottles of wine hidden in my cellar, and I will not find them at the level of the Japanese! ”

Seeing that he was about to return to his hometown, the New Zealand sergeant was as optimistic as everyone else. The alliance army is a more complex army, a mixture of volunteers and mercenaries, various styles are blended together, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is more easy-going, which is not beneficial for combat, but various objective reasons make it difficult for the top of the alliance army to strictly regulate this.

"Good wine? Well, nice proposal, if we both ...... by then," Morey stopped halfway through, and considering that now was not the time to spoil the fun, he changed his tune:

"Both...... If you get a medal, you should be drunk and rest! ”

"Okay, that's it!" The New Zealand sergeant said happily.

Morey had a smile on his face, but his heart was not very comfortable, most of these New Zealand soldiers were civilians who had never touched a gun before joining the coalition army, some of them had participated in the war of resistance in Oceania, but those were basically just informal guerrilla warfare, more than a year of formal training had transformed these people from civilians and guerrillas to fighters, but the vast majority of them had not yet experienced the bloodshed of war. In this way, the only people on this ship who really have the quality of a warrior are those two German soldiers besides themselves!
