Chapter 173: A Feast for the Three Navies of East Japan and Germany!
The signing of the "Non-Aggression Pact between Eastern, Japanese, and German", whether Cheng Gong wants it or not, also marks that Donghui has one foot in the Axis camp.
However, Cheng Gong knows very well in his heart that in this world of the jungle, any treaties and agreements can be torn up at any time.
At this stage, Cheng Gong could only use the Axis powers to counterbalance the Allies. Otherwise, the nascent Donghui will inevitably face the joint encirclement and suppression of all the powers in the world.
When it's time to stand in line, you have to stand in line!
With the existing military strength and war preparations of Germany and Japan, in the early stage of the outbreak of the war, there was no need for Donghui to send troops to fight together.
What's more, there is also the Soviet Union grinding its fists and preparing to attack Afghanistan.
According to Cheng Gong's expectations, at least until 1945, the Allies did not have the strength to launch a strategic counteroffensive.
With five years, Cheng Gong is completely sure that he will digest the whole of Australia, as long as the first five-year plan of the Donghui Empire is completed, whether it is the Axis or the Allied Powers, they must look at the face of the Great Donghui Empire.
Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to fight for the end of the First World War as soon as possible and take the whole of Oceania from the mouth of the British!
In front of the world map on the landlord wall of the imperial study, Cheng Gong stood with his hands in his hands, silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The efficiency of the attendant room in charge of Zhao Yajing continued to make Cheng Gong very satisfied.
Ten minutes later, the V22 command helicopter parked on the lawn of the front yard of the royal estate, with the name "Army Aviation No. 1" painted on both sides of the fuselage, roared all the way west, escorted by four Mi-28 gunships.
Before the "Army Aviation No. 1" left Nanhua City, eight F8F Panda fighters flew over from the rear sky to join the escort formation and firmly guard the "Army Aviation No. 1" in the most central position.
Regarding Zhao Yajing's arrangement, Cheng Gong didn't think she was making a big fuss.
Although Cheng Gong has always asked the attendant room not to be arrogant and not to engage in formalism. However, it was during the war between Donghui and Australia, and it was understandable that the attendant room strengthened the escort force of the "Army Aviation No. 1".
This "Army Aviation No. 1" is a private special aircraft tailored for Cheng Gong on the basis of the V22 command helicopter.
Produced by the Aleutian base, it must be a high-quality product.
Whether it is the V22 helicopter, or the Mi-28, Mi-24 armed helicopters and other air force equipment, all have been optimized and designed, and all the shortcomings have been improved. The engine output is more powerful and reliable, the thrust-to-weight ratio is larger, and the fuel consumption is lower. In particular, the potential safety hazards caused by aerodynamic phenomena have been completely eliminated.
The cabin of the "Army Airlines 1" is designed and decorated as a multi-purpose office, equipped with electronic equipment that allows Cheng Gong to keep in touch with the Pentagon's Joint Command Center on Paradise Island anytime, anywhere.
From Nanhua City, the provincial capital of Zhennan Province, to the Biak Naval Base in Lushun Bay, the distance in a straight line is about 850 kilometers, and with the normal cruising speed of 560 kilometers per hour, the "Luhang No. 1" can safely arrive in less than two hours.
Sitting on a comfortable soft chair, Cheng Gong looked through the porthole at the high-rise buildings rising from the ground everywhere, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a gratifying smile.
Although many of these high-rise buildings have not yet been completed, the shadow of the modern urban reinforced concrete jungle has gradually emerged in major cities in Zhennan Province.
The backward and poor face of former Dutch New Guinea is long gone. More than 8 million Donghui citizens, with their hands, have made this island in the South Pacific Ocean with the world's second largest island undergo earth-shaking changes every minute.
The transformation of the wartime economy does not seem to have had any impact on the owners of the capitalist enterprises that invested in Donghui, on the contrary, the orders received by their factories increased.
A shipload of high-grade iron ore brought in from all over the world has become a high-strength weldable ship steel plate, deck steel, and special ship gun steel of different grades in various iron and steel enterprises in Zhennan Province, with a cost-effective advantage slightly lower than the international market price, and the supply exceeds demand.
Cheng Gong single-handedly provoked the global naval arms competition, which made Donghui's high-strength and easy-to-weld ship steel, deck steel and special ship gun steel become the most sought-after goods in countries around the world. With this alone, Britain, France, the United States and other countries do not dare to easily launch trade sanctions against Donghui.
What's more, Donghui's global container logistics system patents and standards are being fully implemented in major developed countries in Europe and the United States, including the governments of Britain, France and the United States, which do not want to stop at this time.
If the Allied camp imposes an economic blockade and trade embargo on Donghui at this time, it is guaranteed that the Axis countries will laugh happily.
Besides, as Donghui's largest trading nation, the capitalists in the United States will not agree to the unreasonable demands of the White House.
Going to Donghui to earn Asian dollars is the current trend of world economic development. Whoever wants to swim against the current will inevitably be crushed by the power of capital.
Donghui, which makes governments love and hate each other, is so capricious. In your eyes, all kinds of industrial products, which are regarded as national strategic reserve materials, are open to supply to the world.
At present, a total of 186 countries and regions around the world have established long-term trade cooperation relations with Donghui. Unless someone can block all the routes of Donghui to the world, otherwise, the trade embargo on Donghui is a joke.
Unconsciously, the group of planes of the "Army Airlines No. 1" flew over Arthur Bay.
At this time, Arthur Bay has become a world composed of warships of different sizes.
More than 160 warships of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet were moored in an orderly manner at the berths of the nearly 20-kilometer-long wharf in Arthur Military Port.
The East Japan and Germany Navy Joint Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, more than 120 warships docked at the Biak Naval Base.
In addition to the ships on patrol duty, the rest of the surface ships and submarines of the Second Fleet of the Pacific Fleet of the Donghui Navy were also assembled at the Biak Naval Base at this time.
In the sky, from time to time, there are four P51 Mustang fighters in two and two formations, escorting an E2 Eagle Eye early warning aircraft, cruising at high altitude.
Taking the opportunity of overlooking from the air, Cheng Gong roughly estimated the number of warships anchored in Arthur Bay, including 4 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 12 heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers, 165 destroyers, 126 submarines, and 4 transport and supply ships, with a total tonnage of about 1.3 million tons.
If you compare it by tonnage, the naval force that Donghui is ready to invest this time is basically the same as the total tonnage of the British Royal Navy. It is slightly worse than the gross tonnage of 345 ships of the US Navy with a total of 1.43 million tons.
Of course, this total tonnage does not belong to the Donghui Navy. According to Cheng Gong's agreement with Hitler and Hirohito, after the end of the East Australian War, all ships in Arthur Bay would be handed over to the German Navy and the Japanese Navy.
Hitler and Hirohito wisely did not ask Cheng Gong what the Donghui Navy would use to defend the vast sea frontier of the Great Donghui Empire in the future. Because they could guess with their heels, Cheng Gong dared to sell all these ships, and he must have a batch of aircraft carrier battle groups that are more advanced than these advanced warships!
The Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet and the East Japan-Germany Combined Navy's aircraft carrier battle group assembled in Arthur Bay not only did not deliberately conceal it from the outside world, but also specially arranged for a reporter from Donghui's Guangming Ribao to come to Arthur Bay for an exclusive interview.
When mainstream newspapers and magazines around the world reprinted this interview report from Donghui's "Guangming Daily", governments around the world couldn't help but lose their voices.
Donghui actually assembled a huge fleet group with a total tonnage of nearly 1.3 million tons to fight the Royal Australian Navy!
This is too damn negative!
