Chapter 469: Mediterranean Storm (26)

The Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Donghua Navy has one Admiral-class heavy aircraft carrier, one Jianghe-class amphibious assault ship, two Shanyue-class dock landing ships, two all-round fast support combat ships, four Shield-class missile cruisers, eight Warrior-class missile destroyers, and twelve Guardian-class missile frigates.

In addition, there are two Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack submarines, 10 Kilo-class conventional-powered diesel-electric AIP submarines, 24 Type 024 missile boats, and a number of other auxiliary vessels. The main base of the fleet is stationed at the Cretan naval base.

The Atlantic Fleet of the Royal Navy, Donghua, has three midway modified inclined deck aircraft carriers (leased to the U.S. Navy but not officially handed over), one Admiral-class heavy aircraft carrier, two River-class amphibious assault ships, four Shanyue-class dock landing ships, four all-round fast support combat ships, four Shield-class missile cruisers, ten Warrior-class missile destroyers, and sixteen Guardian-class missile frigates.

In addition to these surface capital ships, there are four Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack submarines, 16 Kilo-class AIP submarines, 36 Type 024 missile boats, and a number of other auxiliary vessels. The fleet command is located at the Accra naval base in the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa.

In addition to surface and underwater ships, the two fleets of the Donghua Royal Navy also have a naval division composed of four flying wings and a marine division with a full strength of 24,000 men.

It is also thanks to Emperor Cheng's great military training and martial arts competition, which forced the officers and soldiers of these two fleets. Otherwise, these energetic and belligerent naval officers would certainly have used their training in sea trials to provoke the British, Italian, American, and German navies with brawl.

Regarding the military power in his hands, Emperor Cheng never had to report to the military generals under him. With the Sky Eye Satellite System deployed in space, Cheng Gong can grasp the every move of the respective forces of the Royal Navy, Army and Air Force of the Donghua Empire anytime and anywhere.

If needed, Cheng Gong can even monitor the situation of troops as small as a company at any time.

Since injecting the military and political dignitaries under him with the primary X-type strengthening potion, Cheng Gong found that the Donghua Empire's sphere of influence was getting bigger and bigger, but his job as an emperor was becoming easier and easier.

The three major secret agencies, the CIA, the Military Command, and the Ministry of the Interior, have completely ensured that there are no acts or incidents of disloyalty to the emperor in the military and government departments.

The three major law enforcement departments, the Ministry of State Security, the General Police Force, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, have coordinated with the two judicial units, the Inspectorate and the Courts, to curb possible corruption in the military and government departments in a timely manner.

The use of X-type strengthening potions made military and political officials at all levels of the Donghua Empire more and more respectful of Cheng Gong's omnipotent ability.

As a result, the personality cult and reverence of the citizens of the empire for Cheng Gong reached the extreme. They are more religious than those of Catholic, Christian, and Islamic denominations.

After the cabinet and military of the Donghua Empire determined that Emperor Cheng was determined to be ruthless against the British, the state apparatus of the Donghua Empire, which was already in a quasi-wartime mechanism, began to operate with greater speed and precision.

At present, Cheng Gong has basically stopped the production and manufacture of heavy weapons such as warships, aircraft, and main battle tanks at the base. Instead, let the military industrial complex of the Donghua Empire carry out industrial mass production according to the orders of the military.

It can be said that the military industrial enterprises of the Donghua Empire have completed localization in the true sense of the word, from steam catapults and turbofan engines to steam catapults and turbofan engines, to a scythe mother.

The huge production capacity of the main base of Paradise Island and the sub-base of New Guinea Island is now hidden by Cheng Gong as the biggest hole card. At the critical juncture of the life and death of the Donghua Empire, Cheng Gong decided not to use the power of the base again.

The strength of the Donghua Empire, if it is built on the two undersea bases held by Cheng Gong, this is not a good thing for the Donghua Empire. Only by allowing the scientific research team and industrial workers of the empire to rely on their own strength to establish and improve the national industrial system of the Donghua Empire can the Donghua Empire become a world-class power.

Relying on the strong industrial capacity of the Donghua Empire, the speed of industrialization of the African Union is also changing with each passing day.

As Sun Zuomin, commander of the Donghua Army, reported in his debriefing, the first phase of the reorganization of the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) under the African Union has been completed.

By the end of July 1942, there were 2.4 million permanent troops on active duty, 4.5 million reserve troops, and 8.9 million basic militiamen.

The main standard individual weapons of the African Union are the SKS semi-autonomous rifle, AK47 assault rifle and TT1933 pistol made in the Donghua Empire, which is known as the "1942 gun family" of the African Union to the outside world.

With the vigorous assistance of the Donghua Empire, the African Union has now achieved industrial mass production of the Type 42 gun family, and a total of 15 military factories in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are engaged in mass production.

As for heavy weapons and equipment such as aircraft and tanks, they still need to be imported and purchased from the Donghua Empire for the time being.

In the words of Emperor Cheng Da, the African Union is developing in accordance with the military construction model and political and economic model of the early days of the founding of New China.

You must know that the economic strength and industrial base of the African Union today are much stronger than those in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The subsistence allowance and medical insurance launched by the African Union are absolutely bearable in terms of striving to unite the hearts and minds of the people.

Escorted by the powerful Royal Donghua Navy, armed by millions of African fighters, and provided by the Donghua Empire, the social security environment and political situation in the 24 member states of the African Union have reached the most stable period in history.

Cheng Gong calculated and analyzed left and right, and finally came to the conclusion that he could take the opportunity of attacking the British Royal Navy to pull the brand-new armed force of the African Liberation Army to the British mainland for actual combat training.

The purpose of spending so much energy and investing so much money and resources in the development of Africa is to make Africa's population resources available to the Donghua Empire.

To put it bluntly, the non-solution is that Emperor Cheng decided to really participate in the new force of World War II. The Donghua Royal Navy, Army and Air Force are strategic reserves.

Controlling the press and public opinion has always been the most effective means used by those in power to hijack public opinion.

The AU Press Management Regulations, which are implemented by the AU, ensure that the radio stations, cable television, newspapers, magazines, and publishing houses operating in the AU can only have one voice: the voice that is conducive to the AU's governance and law enforcement!

During the formation of the African Union, it was not that no one jumped out to speak out against it. It's just that these people were quickly wiped out by the non-solution.

But any social change will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed.

Emperor Cheng knew very well what to do and what not to do. For example, the dirty work of killing people and destroying homes is tiring, and the people who execute it are the military and police of the African black buddies themselves.

The soldiers of the Donghua Empire can only play the image of peacekeepers who maintain world peace.

Although Cheng Gong did not let people specifically count how many people died during the period of the African Union's Liwei, the approximate number can still be vaguely guessed: no less than five million!

The vast majority of those executed by the African Settlement were "non-traitors" who were determined to be lackeys with the previous European colonial governments.

Only a few are the barbarian groups who are stubborn and unwilling to leave the life of primitive tribes. For example, African elephant people and cannibals.

The highest ruling authorities of the African Union have been very active in implementing the spirit of Cheng Gong's directive that "the African people must be integrated into the civilized society of the modern world". We must resolutely eliminate all factors that are not conducive to the display of the spiritual civilization of the African people and to the establishment of an international image of the African people.
