Chapter 116: Conquest
Hitler faced a difficult choice, but the British Isles had lost air supremacy, and once the Atlantic Fleet of the Tang Empire arrived to contain the British Royal Navy, then the German armored forces would land directly on the British Isles.
It would be a great feat for thousands of years to be able to land on the British Isles, and there would be a great sense of accomplishment, it was the German nation that conquered the British.
The German army was eager to try, and after Hitler convened the main staff group to discuss, he believed that Barbarossa's blitzkrieg attack on the Soviet Union could wait until the German army landed on the British mainland to launch at the same time, so that the Tang Empire was estimated to be difficult to take food from the German army, and the Soviets might not be ready to fight the German army, killing two birds with one stone.
Hitler agreed, he despised the Soviet Union, despised all European countries, and now he was only afraid of the Tang Empire, a country that had only recently risen so mysterious and powerful that Hitler had to compare the Tang Empire with the United States, believing that both countries were Germany's biggest potential enemies in the future.
At the beginning of 1939, the Atlantic Fleet of the Tang Imperial Navy entered the waters of the North Atlantic, and the British Royal Navy was ordered to withdraw to the home defense.
Just as during the First Shijie War, the British Navy would not easily fight the German Navy but chose to besiege the other party, and the British Navy would not easily fight the Tang Navy at this time, but it was on the defensive.
Similarly, after the arrival of the Atlantic Fleet of the Tang Empire in the North Atlantic. Directly stationed at the Portuguese Naval Base in Saibatur, he did not take the initiative to engage the British Navy.
At this time, Portugal was still a neutral country. But in fact, they have always stood on the side of the Tang Empire, and directly handed over more than 100 warships of the entire French fleet that they kept on their behalf to the Tang Empire Navy.
Of the French fleet captured by the Tang Army, nine battleships, six heavy cruisers, ten light cruisers, and fifty-seven destroyers could be directly put into combat use. They were directly incorporated into the Atlantic Fleet of the Tang Empire, and mixed with the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group to form a task force. The strength swelled several times at once, and it could directly face the main fleet of the British Navy.
This is a formidable navy liliang.
But what is puzzling is that the Tang fleet did not move after it was stationed in the Portuguese Sebatur. The British Navy, which was not far away, was worried all day. However, the Tang army was not seen to launch an attack for a long time, which is puzzling.
Only the Germans knew that the Tang Army was asking Hitler for bargaining chips and an advance payment, after all, it cost a lot of money to go to Europe to participate in the war, and if it was not beneficial to the Tang Empire, it would be impossible for the Tang Army to work hard.
Hitler knew this very well, and he did not want to delay too much, after all, the German blitzkrieg was effective. Because the number of tanks and planes far exceeds the opponent, once the time drags on for a long time. Opponents will then produce enough tanks and planes to compete with them, and then they will lose the advantage of strategic initiative.
Zhang Meng also understood that if blackmailing Hitler was too much, he was afraid that Hitler would provoke him to give up attacking Britain, so in the end, the Tang Empire's demand was only to occupy the island of Ireland, and the other British islands would be occupied by the Germans. On the issue of the distribution of British weapons, equipment, and strategic materials once Britain was defeated and surrendered, Zhang Meng said that whoever grabbed the Tang and German armies first would be whomever would grab it, and how much could be grabbed.
In response to Zhang Meng's proposal, Hitler was hesitant at first, he knew that Zhang Meng was a guy who could not afford to be unprofitable, and it was impossible to be unprepared for the division of British interests, but he did not believe that the German army would not be able to grab the Tang army, after all, the Tang Empire did not send the army over, and the German army must be much stronger when it comes to seizing British supplies.
The entire German army was almost the same idea as Hitler, believing that the Tang army could not capture them, so Hitler finally agreed to Zhang Meng's conditions, and the Tang and German armies began to negotiate a joint attack on the British mainland.
Zhang Meng was not worried about the war situation in Europe at all, and at the moment he devoted himself to teaching at the Imperial Defense University. Zhang Meng's development prospects in the national strategy and shijie in the next 100 years are very clear, so he wants to expand his influence, especially the influence on the next generation, he wants to instill the future direction and development prospects of shijie that he knows to the next generation, when these students who have listened to Zhang Meng's lectures grow up, they will understand how great Zhang Meng is, it is simply a god-like existence.
Of course, Zhang Meng also did this for a purpose. The Tang Empire was thriving at this time, all of this was fought down by Zhang Meng, it was created by him, he didn't want that one day when he was not in this shijie, the Tang Empire he worked so hard to build would decline, or his descendants could not control the situation of the Tang Empire, causing civil strife or dynasty change.
What Zhang Meng has to do is to use his liliang to influence the next generation, the next generation, so that all the children and grandchildren of the Tang Empire must remember that this country was created by Zhang Meng, and he wants to mythologize himself, so that the future descendants of the Zhang family can continue to sit on the throne of the Tang Empire.
Of course, Zhang Meng only went to the National Defense University by chance, and every one of his classes would crowd all the students on campus and cause a sensation.
There is no way, most of the content of Zhang Meng's speech is shocking, such as the coming of the nuclear era, the power of the atomic bomb, the use of nuclear energy, electronic computers, the space race, etc., as well as some strategic judgments made for the second Shijie war, the future naval war will be dominated by aircraft carriers, battleships will briefly withdraw from the stage of history, until the electromagnetic cannon weapon realizes low-cost mass production, missiles will become cutting-edge weapons, etc., these are all familiar to Zhang Meng, he is the first to say, Even the top experts in Shijie were admired and impressed, especially those experts from all over Shijie of the Tang Imperial Academy of Sciences, who were even more eager to rush to the National Defense University to grab seats with the students, just to listen to Zhang Meng's class, and they didn't want to miss even a word.
Zhang Meng's classroom once became the theoretical center of the future development of Shijie and a place of pilgrimage for scientists, which made Zhang Meng's influence expand dramatically and was completely mythologized by the people of the Tang Empire.
The Second Shijie World War is in full swing, and the development of the field of military weapons is changing with each passing day, and the financial and human resources of various countries are concentrated on the development of weapons and equipment. It can be said that it is war that makes weapons more and more terrifying and more advanced.
In addition to going to the National Defense University to give a speech, Zhang Meng's favorite place to go is the National Academy of Sciences, since the last time Tesla successfully developed the orbital kinetic energy cannon, Zhang Meng abided by the agreement to allocate one billion Tang yuan to the National Academy of Sciences.
When Zhang Meng came to the National Academy of Sciences again, the rocket research and development team broke out the good news, that is, the missile project, which was second only to the nuclear engineering and the orbital kinetic energy cannon project, was second only to the nuclear engineering and the orbital kinetic energy cannon project.
Subjugate!
The name of the first successfully developed surface-to-surface medium-range ballistic missile in the Tang Empire! (To be continued......)
