Chapter 507: Anti-Sneak Attack

The combat effectiveness of Austria-Hungary was so, and the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman Empire was not much better. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Transcaucasian direction, more than 800,000 Ottoman troops were likewise unable to cross positions defended by only 200,000 Russian troops.

On the Eastern Front of Europe, the Tsarist Russian Empire fought with the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire at the same time with the strength of one country, and there was no shame in defeating three enemies, not to mention that the Tsarist Russian Empire blocked the fierce offensive of the three countries.

For a time, the prestige of the Tsarist Russian Empire was in full swing, and the friends all over the world were stunned, and they re-understood this old and backward empire that was declining, and suddenly found that the former European military police, although very poor and industrially underdeveloped, was still strong, and not all countries could bully it.

Of course, they did not notice that this was on the premise that the Chinese Empire did not send troops, and in the Sino-Russian border area, the Chinese Imperial Army only defended strategically and did not take the initiative to attack, and the Tsarist Russian Empire fought smoothly in the European theater, but repeatedly failed in the Central Asian theater and the Siberian theater.

On the African battlefield, Britain and France fought against China and Germany alone, and Italy and the Ottoman Empire, although they also had some interests in Africa, were too weak in combat power to be almost negligible.

Compared with the main European battlefield, the scale of the African theater is relatively weak.

The first stage of the Boer War was a victory for the Boer army, and in the second stage, after the British army increased its troops, it won the victory, forcing the Boers to completely open their arms to the Chinese Empire.

Orange and the Transvaal sent hundreds of tons of gold and huge amounts of diamonds from their coffers to the Chinese Empire in exchange for the Chinese Empire's troops.

As a result, the third stage became a war between the African Dispatch Army of the Chinese Empire and the African Colonial Army of the British Empire.

Chamberlain's previous military deployment in South Africa was okay with the Boer army and the international volunteers, but when it was the turn to confront the African dispatch army of the Chinese Empire, it was too weak.

The British army, which was about to destroy the Boer regime, immediately changed dramatically with the intervention of the Chinese African dispatch army in the war, and the Chinese Imperial Army fought bravely, and in addition to the well-equipped, tactical special operations were adopted to infiltrate the rear of the British army, and the special forces destroyed the British army's supply lines and communication systems everywhere, assassinated British commanders and doctors, and blew up ammunition depots and oil depots.

In the face of this epoch-making tactic of the Chinese Imperial Army, the British army suddenly collapsed and was forced to abandon a large part of the occupied Boer territory, and all 200,000 British troops withdrew to Cape Town and lost Cape Town.

The British army still adopted Chamberlain's previous tactics, and built a large number of fortifications in the entire Cape Town, such as radium and machine gun bunkers, which were used to block the attack of the Boer army quite effectively, and also played a certain role in the face of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army.

However, with the annihilation of the main forces of the U.S. and Japanese navies, the Royal Navy of the British Empire also lowered its profile in the Indian Ocean, and the fleet, which had originally supplied the Cape Town colony from the sea, also suspended sailing to prevent attacks by the Imperial Chinese Navy.

As a result, Cape Town's only sea supply was gone, and in the face of the fierce attack of the African dispatch army of the Chinese Empire, the resistance of the British army in Cape Town became weaker and weaker, and it was only a matter of time before Cape Town was lost.

Germany also wanted to attack Cape Town, but when the Kaiser proposed to divide South Africa equally, the Chinese Empire clearly refused, and all the gold and diamond mines in South Africa belonged to the Chinese Empire and would never be distributed to Germany, so the Germans could only look at the gold mountains in South Africa and lament, and turned their attacks to other African regions.

The Germans aimed at Congo and other places in Central Africa, which were colonies of Portugal, France, the Netherlands and other countries, and although the gold production was not as good as that of South Africa, it was not bad, and it became a must for the German army.

As a result, the Germans went to war with the French and Portuguese armies in the Congo, and the Dutch armies, seizing a large amount of territory.

The Allied military operations in Africa benefited the most from the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, and Italy took over the territory left to them by the Chinese Empire in Ethiopia, but when the Ethiopian people saw that the Chinese Imperial army had left, they felt that Italy was vulnerable, so the guerrillas revived, and the Italian army was overwhelmed.

The Ottoman army was to restore the former glory of the empire and reoccupy Egypt.

Of course, the real goal of the Ottoman army was the Suez Canal, which they wanted to take for themselves.

Unfortunately, the diamond could not be used, and the British deployed 200,000 heavy troops in the Suez Canal to guard against the attack of the Chinese Empire's army, but it turned out that the Ottoman army was waiting for it.

After a battle, the Ottoman army threw down more than 30,000 corpses and fled in disarray.

In the South American theater, the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation, after joining the Central Powers, became ambitious and wanted to control the entire Central and South American continent.

The Colombian Federation, with the support of the Chinese Empire, invaded Venezuela and is still at war.

The Brazilian Empire, Argentina and Chile have always been in conflict, and with the accession of the Brazilian Empire to the Allied Bloc, Argentina and Chile became in crisis, and under the mediation of Britain, France and the United States, the two countries joined the Entente.

When the world war broke out, Argentina and Chile learned that the U.S. Navy had successfully attacked Pearl Harbor and eliminated the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and their ambitions quickly swelled, believing that without the help of the Chinese Empire, the Brazilian Empire and Colombia would be a crispy nut to defeat easily.

Thus, after the Central and Entente declared war, Argentina and Chile declared war on the Brazilian Empire and the Confederation of Colombia, triggering the Third South American War.

Argentina attacked the Brazilian Empire, Chile attacked the Colombian Federation, and for a time, the South American continent was in flames.

However, with the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and the two-ocean fleet of the United States Navy being completely annihilated by the Imperial Chinese Navy, the morale of the Commonwealth of Colombia and the Brazilian Empire was boosted, and the soldiers became more and more courageous. Chile and Argentina, on the other hand, were confused, fearing that the Chinese Imperial Navy would come from the sea, and the militaries of the two countries would have to abandon their offensive and turn to defense.

The destruction of the US and Japanese navies by the Chinese Imperial Navy and the domination of the Pacific theater had a huge impact on the whole world.

At least for the time being, the Entente bloc was frightened and basically turned into a defensive posture, for fear that if they behaved too arrogantly and pretended to be too b, they would attract the attention of the Chinese Imperial Military and suffer an unwarranted disaster.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, news has been blocked from the outside world.

When the U.S. military attacked Pearl Harbor, the damage caused was far less devastating than the outside world spread.

In fact, it was a stormy night, and the U.S. naval guns and Fish Radium destroyed the fake warships in the harbor, and although they also damaged the facilities around Pearl Harbor, the fire was quickly extinguished due to heavy rain, and the damage was limited without the fire.

However, eating a trench grows a wisdom.

Known as the first fortress of China, Pearl Harbor, a steel hedgehog in the Pacific, was attacked, and the powerful fortifications did not work, allowing the enemy to take advantage of the storm when it came.

Therefore, after Li Weijun returned to Pearl Harbor, while repairing the battleship, he redeployed the defenses, strengthened the defense in bad weather, and made it difficult to prevent similar things from happening again.

Due to the imposition of martial law at Pearl Harbor, no entry or exit was permitted, telephone and telegraph lines were closed, and only radio contact remained.

Invisibly, the news of the entire Ezo Tail is closed and unknown to the outside world.

When the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy were repaired and regrouped here, Li Weijun did not restore Ezo Weiyi's communications, so that spies from various countries could not pass on the news.

The outside world thought that the Imperial Chinese Navy had destroyed the main forces of the Japanese and American navies one after another, and that it must have suffered a lot of losses, even if it had strong industrial strength, it would definitely not be able to repair it in a few months.

Therefore, when the Entente group judged the next move of the Chinese Imperial Navy, it would subconsciously delay it for several months.

As a result, when the Entente Group formulated various strategies, it would think that it still had a few months to go, and even Japan, when it planned to complete the transfer of coastal industrial equipment, would take a few months to complete it.

If the Imperial Chinese Navy were to attack Japan now, it would definitely take the Japanese by surprise.

However, the Japanese had a bit of luck this time, and after weighing the pros and cons, Li Weiguo decided to let Li Weijun lead the main fleet to attack the east coast of the United States first, destroy the coastal industries and cities of the United States, and most importantly, destroy the shipyards of the United States, as well as the warships being built in the factories.

Therefore, the Japanese borrowed the light of the Americans, and Li Weiguo did not attack Japan first this time, so he let the Japanese go first.

Roosevelt, including Roosevelt, underestimated the industrial strength of the Chinese Empire, and believed that it would take several months for the Imperial Chinese Navy to complete its recuperation.

Therefore, Li Weijun had two to three months to carry out the battle plan.

If you go around South America and go to the North Atlantic, you will waste time on the road and lose the opportunity to blitz the east coast of the United States.

Fortunately, the Americans did a great thing.

The Americans spent seven years, spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and worked overtime to successfully dig the Panama Canal, but not long after the route was opened, the world war broke out, and the US military did not even have time to implement the battle plan to seize Panama, because their first step was to attack Pearl Harbor and destroy the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, but unfortunately the first step failed.

The Panama Canal, which the Americans spent a lot of money and manpower to build, was quickly occupied by the Chinese Empire and the Colombian federal army after the war, and was originally intended to prevent the US Navy from using the Panama Canal to enter the Pacific Ocean, so the Colombian government army was ready to block the canal with stones first.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire stopped it in time, otherwise the Chinese Imperial Navy would not have been able to use the Panama Canal to suddenly appear on the east coast of the United States.

A week later, Li Weijun led the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy to quietly pass through the Panama Canal and enter the Caribbean Sea.

In today's Caribbean Sea, the Caribbean Fleet of the Chinese Empire is enough to blockade the entire sea area, because after the main force of the US Navy was destroyed, the US military completely reduced its forces, recalled all the US warships that were originally intended to be deployed in the Caribbean Sea, and defended them in various port cities in the United States.

After a little resupply at the Puerto Rican naval base, Li Weijun couldn't wait to divide his troops into three routes, led by Deng Shichang, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, to attack the important US shipbuilding bases and harbor cities in the Gulf of Mexico. Lin Tai once led a second route to Virginia, focusing on attacking important U.S. shipyards and seaport cities in the Chesapeake Bay. The third route was led by Li Weijun and went directly to the direction of Rhode Island, on the one hand, to reinforce the Rhode Island defenders, and on the other hand, to attack New York Bay, which is the financial center and naval industrial center of almost the entire United States.

At present, in the US Navy's shipbuilding plans in 1893 and 1894, 8 super-dreadnought battleships and 8 super-dreadnought battlecruisers are speeding up construction, and it is expected that they will be launched one after another in one to two years, so the mission of the Imperial Chinese Navy is to sink these US capital ships in the shipyard in advance, and then destroy the important cities along the coast of the United States and destroy its economy.

Although the main fleet of the U.S. Navy has been completely destroyed, it is not easy to destroy the warships that are under construction.

The U.S. military would massively deploy water radium offshore, with coastal fortifications, and would have to destroy these obstacles if they wanted to get close to the shipyards.

Fortunately, careful arrangements were made in advance this time, and the American headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. was finally rebuilt with Tang Jianzhang's efforts.

Secret radio stations were re-established to report on the situation in the major coastal cities of the United States at any time, and to cooperate with the military operations of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Therefore, information on the location of important shipyards of the US military was quickly sent to the telecommunications room of the warships of the Chinese Empire involved in the operation.

The Gulf of Mexico, in Mobile, Louisiana, is an important shipyard base for the U.S. Navy South, where more than 12 U.S. warships were built, including four of the most powerful battleships in the U.S. military's high hopes for the New Mexico class.

Deng Shichang led the First Route Fleet to quietly approach Mobile Bay, and the submarine conducted reconnaissance of the surrounding waters in advance to avoid US patrol ships.

However, the biggest problem facing Deng Shichang is the topography of Mobile Bay.

Mobile Bay is wide on the inside, but near the Gulf of Mexico on the outside, there is a string of pearl islands that protect the entire Bay of Mobile.

On these islands, the U.S. military deployed reconnaissance posts to protect the shipyards in the bay from enemy attacks.

"No matter which route we take, we will be spotted by the observation posts on these islands!"

"If we can't do a surprise attack, even if we destroy the shipyard and the US warship, but we can't kill all the US shipbuilding technicians, then our operation will not be perfect, and in a few months, these living shipbuilding technicians will start building ships again."

Deng Shichang frowned, encountering this kind of problem, which made him very entangled.

It's a pity that the Navy is not an air force and can't fly over.

"My lord, we can send special operations soldiers to cut the telephone lines on the island, even if the US military sentry finds out, they will not be able to report it!" An adjutant suggested.

"But the U.S. military can shoot! The sound of gunfire can notify the US troops in the distance! ”

"Yes! U.S. military sentries can shoot! ”

"Then we'll kill all the sentinels first!"

"It's not that easy!"

"It's better to let people fire a large-scale salute on the other side of the river to cover up the gunfire!"
