The Soviet army was successively defeated by the Tang Army in the Korean War and the Mongolian War, which led to Stalin's death of anger, the Soviet Union fell into the quagmire of the new leader's seizure of power, the morale of the Soviet army was low, and the expansion of Soviet hegemony stopped.

At the same time, the new US President Harry S. Truman came to power, and took advantage of the Soviet Union's internal and external difficulties to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Europe to form a European military bloc to confront the Soviet Union.

Although the newly appointed Soviet Khrushchev formed the Warsaw Pact bloc to confront it, his regime was unstable and generally weak.

The Soviet army was severely beaten by the Tang Empire in terms of land and air, and the surface ships of the navy were inferior to the navy of the Tang Empire in terms of quality and quantity, and the gap was a full 20 years.

The scale of the Tang Empire's navy was very large, the largest in the world, and the total tonnage reached 3.2 million tons in the early fifties, although it was greatly reduced from the crazy era of 6.5 million tons during World War II, but what remained was the essence. During the same period, the U.S. Navy shrank to 2.1 million tons, so the Datang Navy is still the largest naval force in the world. Although the Soviet Navy has been trying to expand, it is only 450,000 tons, and it is in an extremely unfavorable situation in the competition with the navies of Tang and the United States.

Under the full supervision of Zhang Meng, the main fleet of the Datang Navy maintained 20 conventionally powered large aircraft carriers, 13 super battleships, 6 battle cruisers, 31 heavy cruisers, 110 light cruisers, 523 destroyers, and 213 submarines.

Among them, 20 large aircraft carriers include 12 Chiyou-class aircraft carriers, 8 Chang'an-class aircraft carriers, and all Tianwang-class and Doukui-class aircraft carriers have been retired and replaced with aircraft carrier training ships.

All 13 super-battleships were captured, including four Britannia-class super-battleships captured from the British Navy, four Richelieu-class super-battleships captured from the French Navy, and five German-class super-battleships captured from the German Navy.

Other battleships, such as the Queen Elizabeth class, George V class, Dunkirk class, Bavarian class, and Saxony class, were decommissioned and reduced to various test target ships of the Navy.

The reason why the Datang Navy still retains the strongest super battleships of Britain, France and Germany is that in addition to the fact that these battleships themselves have not been in service for a long time and have great use value, there is also a kind of deterrence and humiliation. Since World War II, the navies of all countries no longer build battleships, so these super battleships of Britain, France and Germany have become the last battleships, which is of great significance.

In the Korean War, the Datang Navy sent these super battleships for fire suppression and battlefield support, and the effect was very good, especially the five German-class battleships, which were the greatest battleship projects of Nazi Germany, comparable to the Japanese Yamato-class battleships.

The five Deutsche class superbattleships all had a displacement of 70,000 tons and were loaded with four 3-pack 460 mm guns. The speed is 29 knots. 450 mm waterline with armor. 300 mm of horizontal armor, making it almost impossible to sink the presence. It's a pity that these five super battleships had just been built, and before they could participate in the war, Germany was defeated and surrendered by Datang's atomic bomb. In the end, it was taken away by the Tang Imperial Navy.

The Tang Army brought five German-class super battleships back to China for modernization, refit and upgrade, and equipped with powerful and advanced electronic systems, radar systems, air defense systems, missile launch systems, etc., so that they could continue to serve in the Tang Navy and show off their strength to the world on behalf of the Tang Empire.

The six battle cruisers also came from the German Navy, which was originally the Bismarck-class battleships of the German Navy, but the Tang military insisted on changing them into battle cruisers to replace the original three battle cruisers captured from the British, and they were also modernized and refitted. Radiates a strong vitality.

As for the other warships, the Tang Empire has not been replaced because it is invincible at sea, and the Fengshen-class and Seagod-class have been in service, and the age of the ships is not long. It has undergone many modernizations and upgrades, so there is no problem in serving for another twenty or thirty years.

Although the Tang Empire has money, it will not spend money casually, so these auxiliary warships have not been replaced.

Similarly, most of the submarine forces of the Datang Navy are old submarines during World War II, and although the new carp-class submarines are powerful, it is a pity that only 40 of them were built, and World War II ended, and the Admiralty immediately stopped continuing to build.

However, after the Soviet Union's successive defeats in the Korean War and the Mongol War, the Soviet Navy went all out to develop submarine forces.

During the occupation of East Germany, the Soviet Union obtained German UXX2 submarine technical data, which is Germany's most advanced submarine technology, although there are artillery weapons in appearance, and the mute effect is not as advanced as Datang's carp-class submarines, but it is comparable in other aspects.

The Soviet Union could not afford to engage in an arms race with Tang and the United States in terms of aircraft carriers and battleships, so it could only compete with Tang and the United States with low-cost and fast-acting submarine forces.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Empire, Zhang Meng also vigorously developed submarines with the mentality of a weak country's navy, and now it is being used by the Soviet Union to learn, which makes the Soviet Union's submarine power skyrocket.

On the basis of Germany's advanced submarines, the Soviet Union has developed and mass-produced W-class, F-class, R-class and other submarines, and built more than 300 of them, of which the W-class submarines dismantled the artillery weapons in the later stage, imitating the shape of the water droplets of the Tang Army's carp-class submarines, and obtained a huge performance improvement, which can compete with the conventional submarines of Tang and the United States.

The Tang Far East, Alaska and the northern part of the Soviet Union are all in the Arctic Circle, where the climate is too cold for air and ground battles, but under the Arctic Ocean is a fighting arena.

The submarine forces of the navies of the three countries often compete in secret in the waters of various parts of the world, and even open fire to sink each other's submarines.

In the beginning, Tang and Mei's submarines often sank Soviet submarines, and soon Soviet submarines counterattacked, constantly sinking Tang and American submarines.

Since the end of World War II, more than 200 submarines have sunk on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, up to 137 in the Soviet Union, 81 in the United States, Datang's submarine is the most advanced, but it has also sunk 48, and the submarines of Britain and France began to join in the fun, and they did not dare to go again after sinking a few, all of which were the result of the secret war between Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union, and were called the Arctic Triangle of Death by the world media, comparable to the Bermuda Triangle.

However, soon one thing broke the dominance of the submarine forces of the Tang Empire in the Arctic Ocean, and not long after Khrushchev came to power, the Type 627 nuclear-powered submarine with the number K3 crossed the Arctic Ocean for the first time, from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean.

After Zhang Meng got the report, he immediately went to the Navy's Submarine Engineering Institute to inspect in a rage, and called out a group of officials in charge of the development of the Datang nuclear submarine and scolded them one by one.

You must know that Zhang Meng has been urging them to develop nuclear submarines a long time ago, but the Soviet Union has taken the lead, which is a matter of face, and Zhang Meng is very unhappy.
