Chapter 1505: The Final Trap

On 27 February, the Operational Command Center of the Navy Headquarters of the Anjia Army in Haiphong Port. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"So the Germans won't be in action until March 2......"

After reading the first telegram, An Yi pondered for a while, then looked at the second one, put down the telegram, and said in surprise: "What the hell, the selection of naval aviation pilots is so strict, with a 98.4% elimination rate, how many people must be organized to participate in the selection in order for our naval aviation to take shape?" ”

Navy Commander Lu Guang had just finished reading the first telegram, and after listening to An Yi's words, he hurriedly took the telegram and read it, couldn't help laughing, and comforted:

"Don't worry, this is only the result of the selection among the Japanese, their population is limited, and the army, navy, and army aviation are also competing for talent, and only 180,000 young people who are qualified for various requirements can be organized from all over Japan to participate in the selection in each period, and in the end only 3,880 people can become carrier-based aircraft pilots.

"The situation in our country is different, we have people, and what we are now practicing is a wartime system, which can make way for the selection of naval aviation at any time, even if we magnify the number of Japanese tenfold and organize 1.8 million people who have passed the physical fitness and cultural assessment to participate in the selection, even if only 1.6 percent of them can become talented in the end, we will have 38,800 carrier-based aircraft pilots available in each period, and the talent reserve is enough.

"If we feel that this number is not satisfied, we can appropriately relax the conditions, and train other conditions that are slightly worse for land-based pilots, after two to three years of training, we can also have at least fifty or sixty thousand naval pilots available, and we can always carry out such a selection, the best pilots enter the navy, and slightly worse become air force and navy land-based pilots, of course, we will not announce the specific assessment standards and results, and say to the outside world that the physical fitness is suitable for their respective aircraft conditions!"

An Yi nodded, and then sighed: "I don't know how the Japanese thought of such harsh conditions, the swimming assessment must dive fifty meters, hold your breath for one minute and thirty seconds to be considered qualified, the diving test requires jumping from a two-story high wall to the hard ground, and the balance test requires walking with both hands upside down; If you pass the examination and enter the naval pilot aviation school, you will also practice using the ground above your head for 15 minutes and are not allowed to use your hands to assist, the combat class must achieve even one victory before you can get off the field, the observation training requires you to look for stars during the day, and the flight class requires you to spend a quarter of an hour in the sky holding the wings to exercise your guts. ”

Cheng Guang smiled: "Who knows? However, Japan is a big naval power, and since this kind of assessment and training must have their reasons, we will first practice the doctrine of taking it out, and then we can find out clearly and revise the irrational points in it. Don't we have so many biological and medical experts? I think they'll have constructive comments! ”

An Yi thought about it, and immediately said: "Okay, now your navy can organize young people of appropriate age to select naval pilots in different regions according to the conditions of the Japanese selection!" Hopefully, by June, our naval aviation school will be running successfully. When the basic training is almost over, and our improvised offshore platform for practice is almost completed, and there is a three-to-four year accumulation of technology, the aircraft carrier formation of our navy will be formed, and then it will really be the time for us to raise our eyebrows. Okay, let's not mention this, now the French Navy has reached the Strait of Malacca, Cheng Guang, tell me, are we implementing Plan 1 or Plan 2? ”

Cheng Guang still could not let go of the battleships in the French fleet, and said cautiously: "According to the present situation, the Germans will not reveal the truth about Saigon and Cochinchina in the media until at least the day after tomorrow, that is, March 1, and we still have plenty of time to use. The No. 1 plan for the purpose of seizing ships is very unwise, after all, the ships of the French are still warships even if they are old, and even if they cannot participate in naval battles, they can be used as training ships, and it is a pity to sink them! ”

After receiving the information from the German side on the 20th, the An Jiajun was greatly shaken, and the plan that they thought was seamless turned out to be not so safe.

Reflecting on it afterwards, in addition to the loophole of the Germans, there is also a high probability that the business contacts and government personnel of Britain, the United States, Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy and other countries in Tokyo, Zhongqi and Cochinchina will also have a high probability of exposing the target, although there are not many of these people, and the total is not more than five hundred, and they have been closely monitored during the implementation of the plan, especially on the second day of Saigon's occupation, the Anjia army will implement strict ***, but with such a large force, it is still possible to deceive for a month or two months. It will not be realistic for a long time, after all, after receiving feedback from intelligence officers, these countries will definitely send a large number of intelligence personnel to infiltrate South China in various guises. At present, South China is not closed off from the rest of the world, even if it is just a little movement of personnel from the north and south of South China, and through dialogue with people who speak various dialects, the intelligence personnel of other countries can get the truth from the clues.

Another unstable factor is the Japanese. The colonial government of French Annam had a good impression of Japan, because among the great powers, Japan was the only one that only bought goods from Annam without thinking of dumping goods, and there was a large trade surplus every year, so there were not a few Japanese in Annam. The Japanese, like the Chinese, are all East Asian races, and if you don't pay special attention, you can't distinguish them correctly, which gives Japan a great opportunity to spy on intelligence.

After learning from the pain, the An Jiajun improved the No. 1 plan, and changed from letting go of the North African fleet to seeking it, because there was no good opportunity to get it for nothing; Subsequently, the No. 2 plan was formulated if the French discovered the truth, and this plan was mainly naval warfare and air raids, with the main purpose of sinking the warships of the North African fleet and eliminating the threat.

Now, with the French fleet approaching, the final moment of decision has finally arrived.

An Yi did not make a decision immediately, he called Liu Qing of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, Shen Fengdao of the Ministry of National Security, and Xu Yichen of the Fourth Department to inquire about the reactions of various countries, but found no abnormalities, and determined the current location of the various naval departments, and the specific deployment of Gu Changfeng's troops disguised as the Annam army stationed in Hanoi and Cam Ranh Bay Port, before giving an order to Lu Guang:

"Let's do Plan One. Remember, Admiral Kinsol's role was crucial this time, not only to receive the two cruisers and six destroyers assigned to him by the French Navy off the coast of Saigon, but also to invite Vice Admiral Esteva, commander of the North African Fleet, as a landowner, to Cam Ranh Bay. In the process, Admiral Kinsol is trying to break the Navy's practice of keeping half of the ships on patrol and let the entire North African Fleet enter the military port in Cam Ranh Bay. After all, his fleet is not a little worse than Kinsor's Mediterranean fleet, with Admiral Kinsor's safety guarantee, the mentally exhausted North African Fleet, which has traveled thousands of miles, has a great chance of choosing to enter the port as a whole, and then we can take these ships into control like the previous two times! ”

Cheng Guang took the order and left, and only came back after five minutes, and said to An Yi: "The plan has been officially launched." Admiral Kinsol, who had just flown to Syria last week, met his wife and daughter, and met the head of the Jewish Freemasonry, has now completely fallen to us, and the French will not be wary of him when he comes out. But after this incident, the French will definitely be alarmed, why don't we make it public ourselves, and let the Germans disclose it? ”

An Yi smiled: "We have to take care of the face of the Führer, we finally got a piece of top-secret information, if we take great pains to prepare, and we solve the mystery before we can use it, then they are not very faceless?" Let's satisfy the vanity of the Germans! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the command center, but An Yi didn't laugh, he knew that the real reason for doing this was just to protect the safety of the spies who had broken into the German hierarchy. With Reinhard. Heydrich's status in the Nazi Party became higher and higher, and the role of Zhong Lei, who was highly valued by him, became more and more obvious.

Because of relying on Zhong Lei's strategy, Heydrich opened almost the entire intelligence empire to Zhong Lei, and Zhong Lei could access many of Germany's top-secret information, which can be said to be the most accomplished intelligence personnel in the An Jiajun's self-development. Through Zhong Lei, An Yi has now been able to influence Heydrich's decision-making, and in the future, he can even influence Hitler through the rise of Heydrich's status to create favorable conditions for the rise of the Chinese nation.

......

The sun is shining, under the blue sky and white clouds, a huge fleet is passing through the Strait of Malacca.

Vice Admiral Esteva, 55 years old, Bordeaux, was already the commander of the fleet during the last European war, but due to the infighting and infighting peculiar to French politics, he has been the commander of the North African fleet for ten years, and if the situation does not change, then he is likely to retire from this position.

Like most colonial generals who have lost their pursuit, Vice Admiral Esteva is very reluctant to go on an ocean voyage, which consumes a lot of time and energy, the sea is changing, one moment the wind is still beautiful, the next moment it may face a terrible storm, the battleship is tossed in the wind and waves, not to mention, the worry is that most of his fleet equipment is the old ships left over from the last European war, in case the hull can not withstand the impact of the huge waves and therefore disintegrate, resulting in large-scale casualties, then it is too late to cry.

Fortunately, this journey is quite peaceful, there are almost no major storms, after Malacca is the South China Sea, and after a few hours of sailing, you can reach Saigon Port.

Kinsol and Esteva have a good relationship, the two are in the Mediterranean, one south and one north, across the sea, and they have many contacts on weekdays, and Kinsol has also had the experience of not meeting talents, so the two have a lot of common language.

I don't know what Kinsor, a junior of the Naval Academy who is three years later than himself, will treat himself with what he will do? Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Esteva asked Lieutenant Colonel Kars, the adjutant standing beside him, "Have you contacted General Kinsol?" ”

Colonel Karls smiled and said, "General Kinsol can't wait to invite us for a drink, and by now he has sent four telegrams. He said that he had been in this ghost place for more than two months, and he was about to go crazy, and this time he was looking for a drink with the general and confiding his thoughts! ”

Vice Admiral Esteva laughed: "This kid is unlucky enough, he was on the task of escorting the new ship to sea trials and showing off force to the colonies by the way. Admiral Brevier left Qiang behind...... His position as commander of the Mediterranean Fleet is a big fat shortage, and he doesn't know how much money he can make from it every year by seizing smuggling, especially since Spain is in a civil war, and Italian and German cargo ships have to pass through his territory, and the burden of plugging will not be less. ”

Colonel Kars accompanied Vice Admiral Esteva to laugh, and said: "General Kinsol said that we have worked hard from afar, and this time the task of cruising for the fleet will be handed over to them to complete, and we only need to enter the military port to rest." ”

Vice Admiral Esteva said with a big grin: "Of course, did we come to the Far East and still want us to leave half of our ships outside to withstand the wind and waves?" If I am ten years younger, or if I am leading a brand new warship, those naval regulations will naturally be adhered to, but look at our ships, except for the eight new ships escorted, what kind of goods are the rest! I heard that since the start of the war, Kinsol has lost eight warships, and this time he just made up for it...... Tut-tut, these ships are all cruisers and destroyers that were temporarily converted after the end of the Sino-Japanese naval and air war in Haizhou Bay in August last year, and the M1933 100 mm anti-aircraft guns and M1935 37 mm fully automatic anti-aircraft guns were added after reducing the main guns, secondary guns, and fish launch tubes. ”

Colonel Kars said suspiciously: "Isn't there an aircraft carrier that can carry carrier-based aircraft?" How can these battleships, armed with a large number of anti-aircraft guns, come in handy? ”

"Aircraft carriers?"

Vice Admiral Esteva, who was obsessed with the cannon of the giant ship, pouted: "Is it the kind of mobile cargo compartment on the water that lifts the plane into the water before taking off?" Don't expect much performance, I don't believe how much damage that kind of plane can do to a thickly armored ship! So far, only Chinese fighters have caused problems for the Japanese, and no one knows if that is an isolated case...... I really can't believe that now Japan and the United States have begun to build aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft like crazy, and they will definitely regret today's decision, in the final analysis, naval warfare still has to rely on large-caliber heavy artillery, and everything else is false! ”

Although Colonel Kars felt that Lieutenant General Esteva's views were biased, how could he question his superiors' opinions as a subordinate, so he changed the subject:

"Vice Admiral Kinsol arranged his itinerary as follows: he led the fleet to meet us off the coast of Saigon, and when the troop transports had entered the Saigon River and all of them had safely entered the dock of the military port, he would sail north with us. Now that the Chinese are blocked in the mountainous terrain between Da Nang and Quy Nhon ports, the Cam Ranh Bay naval base is safe, with relatively complete supply and leisure facilities, and a large number of workers who have migrated from the country are housed there.

"General Kinsor said that he had specially invited a chef from Saigon to invite us to an authentic French court dinner, and he said that he had bought a few bottles of sherry from the late last century from the Imperial Russian Massandra Winery from the wine market in Saigon, with the Tsar's royal seal on it, and this time we were invited to try it."

Lieutenant General Esteva, who is a heavy drinker, smiled: "I have heard about this winery for a long time, it is four kilometers away from Yalta, it is the best winery in the imperial Russian era, its cellar has a collection of millions of bottles of Russian wine from the last century, French and German wines, this time we can feast our mouths!" ”

Perhaps feeling greedy, Vice Admiral Esteva called his staff officer and gave the order for the fleet to move forward at full speed, so all the ships whistled and accelerated one after another, heading at high speed towards the southern seas.
