Chapter 160: Hirohito Sold the Yankees!
Hitler and Hirohito didn't expect Cheng Gong to spend the eight all-round fast combat support ships that Cheng Gong had just revealed, and they only wanted Cheng to be content with the four all-round fast combat support ships that were temporarily incorporated into the East Japan and German Combined Naval Fleet.
Of course, the Buran torpedo, with a maximum speed of 200 knots, must also be mastered by Germany and Japan.
After a short but fierce ideological struggle, Hirohito finally decided to sell the Americans.
Cheng Gong's last words further corroborated Hirohito's speculation about Cheng Gong's hidden hole cards.
How difficult and technically demanding the construction of the Yamato-class aircraft carriers is, Hirohito has already had an intuitive understanding through Japanese shipbuilding experts. Cheng Gong was able to quietly take out four brand-new Yamato-class aircraft carriers at once, what this meant, Hirohito knew too well in his heart.
Donghui's industrial capacity is definitely not as simple as it seems. Otherwise, how were those four all-round fast combat support ships built?
With the current industrial status and technical level of Dingnan Province and Zhennan Province, even if it can complete the design and manufacture of the all-round level, its industrial production capacity will not reach the terrifying level of building four all-round ships in a year!
Cheng Gong, a cunning little fox, may have been using the technology and gold in his hand as bait to lure other countries to invade, so as to achieve the goal of expanding to the outside world in an open and honest manner. Bagaya Road! I won't fall for you! Hirohito secretly made up his mind in his heart.
When Cheng Gong and Hitler heard that the US Pacific Fleet planned to raid and land on Paradise Island at the most stalemate between the German Navy and the British, French, and Australian navies in East Japan, Hitler scolded Hirohito, scolding Hirohito for having his brain in water, and scolding the Japanese for being a bunch of widows from island countries who only focused on their immediate interests, and that they were all a bunch of fools.
Cheng Gong acted like a nobody, as if he had expected such a situation for a long time. Anyway, the calm and calm demeanor revealed from his face made it impossible for outsiders to see what he was really thinking in his heart at the moment.
"There are indeed more good things on Paradise Island." Cheng Gong pursed his lips with disdain and said: "It's just that with the strength of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, which can't be on the table, it is simply a fool's dream to break the defensive circle of Paradise Island and land on Paradise Island." ”
Hitler and Hirohito took it for granted that the reason why Cheng Gong had such a big tone must be that he relied on Buran torpedoes and all-round fast combat support ships.
Hitler and Hirohito have not figured out the size and strength of the Tohui Navy to this day.
Although the German Navy and the Japanese Navy have been helping the Donghui Navy in various trainings, these German and Japanese navies in Donghui also have to abide by strict secrecy regulations. Especially on Paradise Island, there are many military forbidden areas for the Tohui Navy, not to mention the Germans and Japanese on the island.
Over the past year or so, Hitler and Hirohito have basically concluded that Paradise Island has an extremely strict and special system of anti-espionage mechanisms. Because so far, no intelligence officer of any country has been able to obtain any valuable information on Paradise Island.
The security channels set up at the airport and wharf on Paradise Island are equipped with advanced equipment and meticulous staff, so that even the contents that are hidden in the rectum and swallowed in the stomach of passengers can be checked out without landing on the ground.
Even if there were once clever agents who tried to avoid the airport and docks, and mixed in with the fishermen's fleet operating on the island, they still ended up in the hands of the Paradise Island Coast Guard, and since then they have disappeared from the world.
Over time, Paradise Island has become a forbidden place for all agents and spies in the world.
According to normal thinking, if the Japanese navy cooperates with the joint navy of Britain, France, Australia, the Netherlands, and other countries to hold back the vast majority of the strength of the Donghui navy on the island of New Guinea, with the strength of the US navy, the probability of conquering the paradise island is absolutely more than 90 percent if it undeclares war against the Donghui by means of a surprise attack.
Because, the United States has one of the biggest advantages in attacking Paradise Island: it can use the Alaska Peninsula as a forward base!
Aside from the various cutting-edge technology secrets on Paradise Island, the gold stored in the world's largest vault in Cheng's Fort alone is enough to make the US government take risks.
As early as when Cheng Gong opened Paradise Island and built an air base and a naval base on the island on a large scale, the U.S. government also built on the Alaska Peninsula based on the principle of homeland security and defense. Even the command of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy was relocated to Elmendorf.
Alaska was bought by the United States from Tsarist Russia in April 1867 for a mere $7.2 million, and was established as the Alaska region of the United States in 1912. A little more than an hour's drive west from Ankrucci, the regional centre, is the city of Elmendorf.
Currently, Elmendorf is a large new military base built by the US military in the Alaska region. The entire city is occupied by military installations and buildings. The garrison includes the U.S. Pacific Fleet Command, the Pacific Fleet First Aircraft Carrier Formation Command, the Pacific Fleet First Battleship Formation Command, and the Alaska Joint Command.
Obviously, in response to the growing military power of Donghui, the focus of the United States' Pacific strategic defense has changed from Hawaii to the Alaska Peninsula. The Elmendorf base has become the forefront of U.S. surveillance and defense against Donghui's military expansion.
About 15,000 troops were stationed at the Elmendorf base, organized into a mechanized infantry division; The army aviation has about 9,500 people, including 1 aviation team, 2 wings, 6 squadrons, and about 240 combat aircraft;
The Navy has the First Aircraft Carrier Squadron, the First Battleship Squadron, the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cruiser Squadrons, one Naval Aviation Squadron, two Wings, and six squadrons, and nearly 300 combat aircraft. Stationed at the newly built Kodiak naval base.
The U.S. federal government allocates 52 percent of the total Alaska budget to defense spending, 80 percent of which goes to the Navy. For this reason, the US Navy did not hesitate to transfer some capital ships from the Atlantic Fleet to strengthen the Pacific Fleet.
When he decided to sell the Aleushen Islands to Cheng Gong as the king of the island country, Roosevelt never thought that Cheng Gong would stir up the global situation and make the whole world revolve around such a small country as the Donghui Kingdom.
However, the U.S. government has never shown any remorse for its original intentions. On the contrary, it has made full use of the geographical advantages of the Alaska Peninsula and established a variety of business cooperation relations with the people of Paradise Island.
The U.S. government has greatly strengthened its military defense on the Alaska Peninsula, but any military strategist with a bit of strategic vision can see that the U.S. government is preparing for the annexation of Paradise Island in the future.
The thoughts of the US imperialists, how can Cheng Gong not understand. When he first proposed to Roosevelt to lease the Aleutian Islands, Cheng Gong was already playing Alaska's idea. All US imperialist military deployments in Alaska are under the monitoring of the Sky Eye satellite system.
Cheng Gong hoped that the US imperialists would take the initiative to provoke a war, and at that time, the Donghui Defense Force would be able to land on the Alaska Peninsula in name only, and then fully occupy the whole of Alaska.
