Chapter 579: Prepare for War

Selassie's announcement that Mogadishu would be handed over to China was the moment Qiao Yu had been waiting for, and the Chinese navy had long been ready to send two newly built escort aircraft carriers to form the Indian Ocean task force, and the aging Chaoyong was also sent to the Andaman Islands.

Chaoyong was sold to Siam by China, successfully opened the door of Siam, just a while ago the Siamese democrats broke out an unprecedented scale of demonstrations, and then evolved into a nationwide uprising, the whole Siam was in chaos, Rama VII had to ask China to send troops to help stabilize the situation, and Siam did not have the financial resources to continue to maintain the navy, and the Siam aircraft carrier formation was bought to China for a symbolic one Chinese dollar.

The Chinese side has carried out some maintenance on this old ship, installed sonar and other equipment, and once again put it on the battlefield, because the ship is old, it can only be responsible for the defense of the coastal area.

The name of the Siam was changed to the Chaoyong again, and just five days ago, Rama VII had announced his abdication, in fact, there was no way to do it, the number of people shot in the entire crackdown was more than 30,000, and dozens of times as many people died as a result of the riots.

It doesn't matter who killed these people, it is important that all of them be recorded in the name of Rama VII, and if he continues to be king, I am afraid that the whole country will oppose it, and the Chinese side also believes that this king no longer needs to exist.

The notoriety, the betrayal of his family, and the abandonment of China finally brought Rama VII's throne to an end, but China offered him a generous condition, as long as he agreed to abdicate, he and his immediate family could be guaranteed to live and be safe, and the royal family's property could also be guaranteed.

China was willing to send Rama VII wherever he wanted, and gave him 5 percent of the Kra Canal Company's shares. Don't underestimate only five percent. Such an international waterway. There are countless ships coming and going every day, and the Canal Company is a hen that lays golden eggs.

With this part of the shares, it is absolutely possible to ensure that generations will eat and drink without worry, and there is no need to worry about it. Although Rama VII was nostalgic for power, he also knew that this was the only way to survive, so he had to accept China's advice.

After the complete overthrow of the Siamese royal family, most of the former princes and ministers were purged. In addition, the democrats also suffered heavy losses, and the whole of Siam turned out to be a situation of no leader, which was attached to the joint request of Siamese generals such as deception, that is, to incorporate Siam into the Chinese territory.

Of course, behind all this is the result of Chinese directors, and finally another country on the Indochina Peninsula fell into the hands of China, and World War II provided China with an unprecedented good opportunity to expand its strength calmly, and quietly, the pattern of dominating the Asia-Pacific region has initially emerged.

The only problem left is Japan, and the only way to crush this island nation is to completely crush it. Only then can China truly make a complete and comprehensive layout and become a well-deserved hegemon in East Asia. Divide the Pacific Ocean with the United States.

China has been waiting for an opportunity, and Japan is also waiting, a suitable time, and now there are still four great powers that have not participated in the war, that is, the United States, China, the Soviet Union and Japan, and the top leaders of the four countries know that this world war will definitely affect them, and no one can escape, but it is unknown who will be involved first.

In fact, the most anxious is the British government, Churchill reluctantly led Britain to victory in the Battle of Britain, barely blocked Hitler's attempt to cross the sea to attack the British Isles, but this is only the beginning, after the turn of the year, German shipyards will build newer aircraft carriers, and the control of the English Channel has been threatened at all times, but fortunately, the attitude of China and the United States has become more and more clear.

A large number of weapons and equipment, military supplies were sent to Britain, and China and the United States also provided a large number of anti-submarine equipment, which greatly reduced the power of Hitler's wolf pack, especially when the Bismarck sank, Dönitz was also on the aircraft carrier, and he sank to the bottom of the sea with the Bismarck.

After the loss of this excellent commander, the German Navy's attack efficiency became less and less effective, and the United States had already placed five large aircraft carriers in the Atlantic, ready to participate in the war against Germany.

Roosevelt had privately assured Churchill that the United States would declare war on Germany as long as Germany tried to land in England, which gave Churchill the confidence to continue fighting.

Churchill knew very well that for Britain, Germany's aircraft carrier was the most threatening weapon, and only by knocking out the aircraft carrier could Britain rest easy, so Britain mobilized all its intelligence forces and selected the best pilots from the air force to form a bomber formation, whose mission was to raid German shipyards, even if not to disrupt Germany's aircraft carrier construction work, but also to delay Germany's construction.

Chinese pilot Liu Shaoqing and others were selected, and at the same time, the pilots from the United States to aid Britain were also in place one after another, and the United States also sent B17, that is, the famous Flying Fortress, which is also the latest aircraft developed by the United States.

The United States is in a hurry to send this aircraft to Europe, on the one hand, it wants to test its combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, it is also to show its support for Britain.

The United States did not care about anything, and began to arm Britain with all its might, and after the B17 came to the United Kingdom, after some adaptation training, it formed a powerful formation with British bombers and carried out air raids on the shipyard in Hamburg, Germany.

The operation was carried out at night, and the Germans had placed a lot of anti-aircraft fire around the shipyard, but it still did not work as well as it should, as the bomber formation successfully bombed the shipyard, and an oil tanker in a docked port was hit and exploded.

The fire caused far more damage than the bombing, and the Tirpitz, which was being repaired, was once again affected, many maintenance workers died in the fire, and the aircraft carrier Deutschland under construction was also attacked, and more than a third of the deck was destroyed.

Although Germany shot down 12 British bombers during the battle, the damage caused was irreparable, and Britain would continue to harass it at any cost, and Germany's aircraft carriers would not want to be launched easily.

This was a war of attrition between planes and pilots, and Hitler, who owned all of Europe, was not afraid of Britain, but he couldn't help but shudder at the thought of China and the United States standing behind Britain.

Hearing the news of the attack on the shipyard, Hitler was annoyed. He became the most outstanding conqueror in the history of Germany, and the Third Reich finally encompassed most of Europe, and now the only countries that could compete with Germany were red Russia and England.

The defeat of the air battle of Britain made Hitler lose confidence in the air force, and the sinking of the Bismarck, as well as the British attack on the shipyard, made him lack trust in the navy, what can really bring glory to Germany is the powerful army, is the invincible armored force, Hitler urgently needs to cover up the defeat of the air battle of Britain with a greater victory.

Aggression and expansion are like drugs, as long as you taste the benefits, there is no way to stop, Germany is obviously addicted to drugs, it is difficult to turn back, in fact, this is not something that Germany can decide, if you don't hit others, others will beat you, no one will watch Germany comfortably digest the fruits of victory.

Hitler knew very well that Germany had to fight all the time, break the old world pattern, break a new world, and defeat all its opponents, otherwise all the great powers would become enemies of Germany, and the war potential of those countries was far from being comparable to Germany.

In the German stronghold in East Prussia, all the top Nazi leaders were gathered together, and they were discussing the question of whether and how to attack the Soviet Union!

Many German generals were resolutely opposed to provoking a Soviet-German war before the conquest of Britain, which would only put Germany in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts and repeat the mistakes of World War I.

However, Hitler insisted on his own opinion, and he expounded his own point of view, the first point is that the lack of naval and air forces made it impossible for Germany to quickly conquer Britain, and if it continues to delay, the United States and China will speed up the pace of arming Britain, and when the war machine of the two countries is fully activated, they will unceremoniously declare war on Germany, which is exactly the same as the situation of the First World War.

The second point is the Soviet Union, now the strength of the Soviet Union is expanding rapidly, Stalin has ordered the expansion of the army to five million, the strength of the Soviet army is not less than that of Germany, let the Soviet Union continue to grow so strong, sooner or later the Soviet Union will attack Germany.

The third point is that the United States has secretly approached the Soviet Union and is trying to form an alliance against Germany, and once China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain are united, Germany has no chance of winning at all.

So Hitler finally summed up a way to win, that is, to destroy the Soviet Union with a blitzkrieg, destroy France for one month, and destroy the Soviet Union in only three months.

As long as the Soviet Union perishes, China and Germany will border, and if the two countries want to go to war, the entire Asian continent will attack the European continent, and the scale of the war is unimaginable. Therefore, China will most likely not dare to go to war because of its losses, and the United States will not easily attack Germany after the European continent loses its support point, and it can be said that as long as Germany destroys the Soviet Union, it will be so strong that both the United States and China are afraid of it.

Hitler's rhetoric convinced many, but there were also those who strongly opposed it, that was Rundstedt, an old Prussian general with the most seniority in the German army, who pointed out that Hitler's plan was based entirely on the destruction of the Soviet Union in three months, and in fact three months was not enough time to move from the west to the east of Soviet territory, let alone conquer.

But Hitler didn't listen, he dismissed Rundstedt from his post and began to prepare for a big attack on the Soviet Union! (To be continued.) )
