In the calm English Channel, an unquiet wind suddenly blew, and soon black clouds rolled in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The British and German naval commanders accused each other of firing first, demanded an apology from the other side, and took all responsibility and damages, but the other side refused.

The French fleet of the German Imperial Navy had twenty-one warships, the largest of which was a Brunswick-class battlecruiser, with a total tonnage of only 70,000 tons.

On the other side, the British Royal Navy's home fleet has 42 warships, including six battleships, with a total tonnage of 190,000 tons, which is overwhelming.

The British Royal Navy was supported by the Chinese Empire and was not afraid of the German Navy, so it quickly formed a battle formation and further forced the French fleet of the German Empire to apologize.

The German Navy saw that it was about to suffer, so it had to apologize first, but the British Royal Navy, which was unforgiving, did not intend to let the German Navy go, and planned to capture the fleet, and then ask the Chinese Empire for merit.

At this time, the German army stopped doing it, and immediately asked the German naval base camp for help.

When Wilhelm II learned of this, he was furious and immediately ordered the German High Seas Fleet, which was holding large-scale military exercises in the Mediterranean Sea to deter the Mediterranean Fleet of the Chinese Empire, to immediately go to the English Channel and at the same time lodge a solemn protest to the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, the command of the Chinese Imperial Dispatch Force in Britain also received the news, and Li Weijun, who was sitting in the United Kingdom, was also angry about this matter, and he always wanted to teach the Germans a lesson, so he immediately assembled the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and soon arrived at the English Channel.

At this time, the capital ships of the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy were actually the capital ships of the original Pacific Fleet, but because they had to be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean for a long time, they changed their establishment and were assigned to serve in the Atlantic Fleet.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, with more than 30 super-dreadnought-type battleships and super-dreadnought-type battlecruisers, more than 200 warships of various tonnages, and a total tonnage of up to 1.5 million tons, making it the most powerful fleet in the world.

The German Imperial High Seas Fleet, which also arrived in the English Channel, although there were more than 200 warships of various kinds, had a total tonnage of only 900,000 tons, which was much worse than the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and was not an opponent of an order of magnitude at all.

However, an accident made Li Weijun feel tricky.

Because at the same time, there were more than 50 aircraft carriers, which were called aircraft-carrying cruisers in the German Navy.

In this world, only a few people know the role of aircraft carriers, and Li Weijun is one of them, and he has been warned by Li Weiguo more than once, telling him to be careful of German aircraft carriers.

When he raided London, Li Weijun used the first aircraft carrier of the Chinese Empire to participate in the battle, and he witnessed the great tactical role of aircraft carriers.

At this moment, Li Weijun couldn't help frowning when he suddenly saw the German Navy sailing over fifty aircraft carriers in one go, he knew that the idea of teaching the Germans a lesson this time seemed not feasible, and he might even suffer a big loss.

Hundreds of warships of the Chinese and German navies confronted each other, and the situation instantly became delicate.

"Order all ships, if the situation gets out of control, concentrate their firepower as soon as possible, and be sure to sink the aircraft carrier fleet of the German Navy!"

"Yes!"

"Has the submarine fleet arrived?"

"Report, the submarine fleet is still on its way, and it is expected that 40 submarines will arrive in the English Channel in the next six hours, and at present, near the strait, four submarines are on combat readiness patrol!"

"Inform these four submarines and lock on to the German aircraft carrier fleet!"

"Yes!"

Li Weijun made all preparations, and the order was conveyed to the command rooms of the ships of the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and their respective commanders quickly prepared for battle.

On the other side, in the command bridge of the battleship Deutschland, the flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, the commander of the German High Seas Fleet, Tirpitz, who had just been promoted to admiral, was also sinking like water at this moment, and the cold sweat on his forehead could not stop flowing down.

Tirpitz, who was known for his treachery, did not expect to confront the powerful Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy so soon, and even to the point of a war that was on the verge of breaking out.

"Report, the main guns of the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy have been raised, and the muzzles of the guns have turned towards us!"

Tirpitz's hand shook suddenly, and it was false to say that he was not afraid, he knew very well the huge gap between the Imperial German Navy and the Imperial Chinese Navy, and once a war started, the Imperial German Navy would have a chance of winning at most.

"Order the ships to be on alert! No fire is allowed without my orders! ”

The main guns of the ships of the German Imperial High Seas Fleet were also raised, and the muzzles of the guns were also aimed at the ships of the Imperial Chinese Navy more than ten kilometers away.

At the same time, on the aircraft carriers of the Imperial German Navy, carrier-based planes slid and jumped one after another, and then stood guard in the air.

This is Hitella's masterpiece, he seems to be very clear about the future difficulties of the German Empire, so he did his best to help Germany develop aircraft carriers during the World War, and today, fifty aircraft carriers with whom Tirpitz came, Hitella, who was far away in Berlin's base camp, seemed to see the hope of the rise of the German Empire.

In the time and space where Hittra is located, his memory is the lack of aircraft carrier strike groups of the German Empire's High Seas Fleet, in this English Channel incident, was attacked by the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, almost all the troops were annihilated, the Sino-German War broke out, and the German Empire, which lost the High Seas Fleet, was quickly defeated by the Chinese Empire, since then, there is no country in the world that can compete with the Chinese Empire, so in less than 20 years, the Chinese Empire controlled the whole world and formed a world government.

But at this time, Hitra did not want the defeat of the German Empire, he hoped that the future world government should be dominated by the German Empire, and the great Aryan nation should dominate the world, not the Chinese dominate the world.

So Hitler had to give it a go, and the huge aircraft carriers were the only chance for the German Imperial High Seas Fleet to turn the tables around.

Of course, Hitler did not want a showdown with the Chinese Empire now, but unfortunately the English Channel incident still happened irreversibly.

Hitler and Wilhelm II sat opposite each other, with fine wine from Berlangen on the table, but neither of them was interested in tasting it.

"Do you think Tirpitz can win?"

Wilhelm II couldn't help but ask, he now regretted it, he shouldn't have ordered the High Seas Fleet to go to the English Channel, but the Chinese Empire did not budge, and the main force of the Atlantic Fleet also reached the English Channel, resulting in a stalemate.

Of course, if Wilhelm II admits it, it is still possible to order a retreat now, but he wants to save face, it is impossible to order a retreat at this time, he can't afford to lose that person.

Hitler knew Wilhelm II's temper, so he said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have transferred fifty aircraft-carrying cruisers in the direction of the Mediterranean to the English Channel, and with them, even if they cannot destroy the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, at least there is room for self-preservation." ”

Now the German Reich has converted nearly two hundred aircraft carriers, but unfortunately most of them are kept secret and are docked in the Baltic direction, not deployed in the Mediterranean or even the North Sea direction.

Hitra also regretted a little, he regretted that he did not deploy all 200 aircraft carriers in France at the first time, so that he might destroy the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy in one go.

Wilhelm II worried: "As far as I know, the aircraft-carrying cruiser is only a function of a sea airfield, and the machine guns carried by the fighters are no problem against the soldiers, but how can they move the battleship armed to the teeth?" ”

Hitra smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know, our fighters have been modified, and carrier-based fighters carry not only machine guns, but also aviation zha shells and fish radium. ”

Seeing that Wilhelm II was puzzled, Hitler gave him a brief explanation.

"The airdrop Fish Radium can drop Fish Radium from any direction, so that the battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy cannot avoid it, although their battleship armor is thick, it is difficult for a single Fish Ray to sink a super dreadnought battleship like the Fury, but a dozen Fish Radium can also sink the Fury from all directions at the same time. Even if we can't succeed horizontally, we are invincible vertically. The warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy have no air defense capability, they only pay attention to the protection of the side armor and ignore the horizontal armor protection, and our aviation shells dropped from the air can penetrate the horizontal armor of the battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, so that even the most powerful battleships cannot stop the fate of sinking. ”

After listening to Hitla's explanation, Wilhelm II's eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression changed from gloomy and depressed to excited, as if he had been resurrected with full blood in an instant.

"Haha, if that's the case, then this time the prestige of the Chinese Empire will be extinguished!"

Hitra shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, we don't have the strength to start a full-scale war with the Chinese Empire now, let alone destroy the Atlantic Fleet, even if we sink one of the warships and kill one of their naval soldiers, we can't afford the consequences!" ”

Wilhelm II was immediately displeased: "What the hell is the matter with you?" Didn't you just say that our aircraft-carrying cruising fleet is invincible? Since we are invincible, what are we afraid of the Chinese Empire? ”

Hitra sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I secretly developed the aircraft-carrying cruise fleet is because I am worried that the Chinese Empire will invade our German Empire with the aftermath of the victory in the world war, because the Chinese Empire is so powerful, so strong that after the world war, the strength of the Chinese Empire not only does not have any losses, but swells sharply several times, with the current economic strength and industrial strength of the German Empire, we simply cannot defeat the Chinese Empire." ”

Like a basin of cold water poured down, Wilhelm II instantly came to his senses.

Oh, yes! The German Empire, which had just experienced a world war, had actually collapsed its national economy, and although it occupied most of the European territory, it was a pity that all it got was a ruin, and it could not support the German Empire to launch another war, especially with the Chinese Empire, which was absolutely unwise.

After the world war, the gross national product of the German Empire was set back by twenty years, to the point that the military industry had increased tenfold compared to the pre-war period, but unfortunately the after-effects of the reckless militarism were the collapse and lack of recovery of the German economy today.

On the contrary, the Chinese Empire, whose vast industrial economic power benefited from the Great War.

Today, the GDP of the Chinese Empire is as high as 28 billion yuan, while the German Empire has a measly 120 million yuan, a gap of more than 200 times.

After the world war, both the Chinese Empire and the German Empire encountered the excessive concentration of domestic industrial production in the military industry, which led to the rapid expansion of the military industry, the shrinkage of the civilian industry, the overcapacity of strategic materials, and the dilemma of economic crisis.

However, the Chinese Empire was shrewd, and under the correct guidance of Li Weiguo, the Chinese Empire quickly consumed the excess production capacity during the war by providing loans to European and American countries, providing economic and military aid, dumping surplus commodities to overseas colonies such as India, expanding domestic demand at home, stimulating consumption, and selling arms all over the world, so that the domestic economic situation was stabilized and the possibility of economic crisis was lifted.

However, the German Empire was not able to do so, it itself was seriously consumed during the world war, and it was in urgent need of international loans to save its life, but it could not get a dime of help from the Chinese Empire, let alone provide loans and economic and military assistance to other European and American countries. As for the plan of dumping products overseas, it is even more impossible, because the German Empire has only a few poor colonies, and the population of German East Africa and other places is small, so it is impossible to dump commodities at all, and it is impossible to dump commodities against India like the Chinese Empire, because India has a population of more than 100 million, and the huge market is enough to consume most of the excess capacity of the Chinese Empire.

There is also the expansion of domestic demand to stimulate consumption or something, the German Empire suffered eight million casualties in the war, all of them are young and strong men, accounting for one-eighth of the total population, today's German Empire, women are the majority, there is a serious shortage of male labor, and it is almost impossible to expand domestic demand to stimulate consumption, because the Germans are now poor and have no money, and even the occupied France is in ruins, and the French cannot afford to consume.

All of these circumstances led to the post-war period of the German Empire in a difficult environment, with an economic downturn, numerous factories closing, a large number of desolate farmlands, and hunger becoming a serious problem that could not be ignored.

Although the German Empire produced countless weapons and ammunition during the world war, these were consumables, which not only did not help the recovery of the national economy, but instead spent a lot of money on the maintenance of these weapons and equipment, especially the construction of countless warships, which were huge ships with alarmingly high maintenance costs every day, which became a serious obstacle to the recovery of the German economy.

If there is a war with the Chinese Empire in this situation, even if there is an aircraft carrier advantage, it will only be a short-term advantage.

Because war is a war of attrition, the powerful Chinese Imperial industry will quickly build more warships and aircraft carriers, and then the steel flood will crush the German Empire, which the German Empire cannot afford to consume in its current situation.

The 200 converted aircraft carriers that Hitler had painstakingly prepared were only used to deter the Chinese Empire from daring to attack the German Empire easily, but this did not mean that the German Empire could have the courage to take the initiative to start a showdown with the Chinese Empire.

Aware of these problems, Wilhelm II instantly wilted again, listless.

Hitra picked up the phone, connected to the command of the Navy, and handed it to Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II reluctantly took the phone and gave the order for Tirpitz to retreat.

Tirpitz, who was confronting the Imperial Chinese Navy in the English Channel, was also relieved after receiving the order, he did not have the confidence of Hitla, and did not want to provoke the Chinese Empire.

"Retreat!"

At the sound of an order, the German Imperial High Seas Fleet began to alternately cover the retreat.

At this time, the two German fighter pilots in the sky seemed to be very unhappy, and they could not see that the German Imperial Navy had retreated like this, so they disobeyed the order and flew towards the Chinese Imperial Navy fleet.

When Tirpitz learned about it, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he wanted to twist off the heads of the two pilots and kick them off as a ball and fly to Mars.

On the other hand, Li Weijun was a little disappointed when he found out that the German High Seas Fleet had withdrawn, and he wanted to teach the German Navy a lesson, but he was afraid of the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group.

At this time, he learned that two German fighters suddenly flew over, and guessed that it was the stunned young man in the German army, so he was very happy, and finally found an opportunity and an excuse to repair the Germans.

"Artillery preparation!" (To be continued.) )
