"Today is June 6th?"

Zhang Shusheng raised his head, looked at a beautiful landscape desk calendar on the table, and remembered that when he left home in the morning, He Ning had a charming smile, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

Out of the big office, he came to the office of Lu Yunyan, the former director of the General Office of the Central Committee and the current director of the base camp office, "Yunyan, why didn't you tell me in the morning, today is the birth of Tangtai." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shusheng was coming, Lu Yunyan first went to lock the door, then leaned down and kissed him on the mouth, then walked behind him and gently massaged him, "You have been so busy recently that you have almost no time to eat, Tantai called back yesterday and asked about you, as soon as her little mother said it, the girl said not to tell you that she was born today."

However, the girl called specifically to ask how to make beef leg zongzi, and it is estimated that she wants to learn again, and when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, she will make it for us to eat. ”

While enjoying Lu Yunyan's light kneading, Zhang Shusheng said to himself: "I've been a little busy recently, and this girl is really, and Sheng won't tell me." ”

Recently, of course, it has been very busy, on one side of which is the border conflict between China and North Korea.

Although the military operation has ended, and two divisions of the National Defense Forces have been stationed in Sinuiju, the aftermath has not been completely eliminated. How to maximize the benefits of this border conflict and develop in a favorable direction for China is a systematic and complex issue.

Although he doesn't need to go into details, Sinuiju has a bearing on the second or third confrontation between China and China on the Korean issue, and he can't help but pay little attention to it, and he has to personally inquire about many important plans in order to rest assured.

As for the impact of this incident on the international front, it has met Zhang Shusheng's expectations.

As one of the three most important countries in the Axis organization, the meaning of the Chinese term is second only to Germany, even if Germany is thousands of miles away, second only to its own strategic position.

In order to mend the rift caused by this incident, Hitler paid unprecedented attention to it and sent his henchman Goering to secretly visit China and the two countries, in an effort to resolve the Sino-Chinese crisis from the perspective of Germany and consolidate the relations between the Axis powers.

On the other hand, there is the joint maritime military operation of the three countries.

In addition to Goering's visit to China, the most important action of the Axis organizations at present is the 'Indian counterattack', and how to maximize the combination of the naval forces of the three countries to deal a severe blow to the United States and Britain is the common interest of the three sides.

In these respects, although the General Staff Headquarters and the Navy General Staff have completed the plan of the Chinese side, and the tripartite joint operations command has completed the plan part of the tripartite cooperation, Zhang Shusheng still has to give the most detailed thought to the plan part of the Chinese side.

To take the simplest example, the content of the plan on the distribution of interests in the Pacific is not something that ordinary staff officers can have a strategic point of view, and there are too many other areas that need people's attention.

Although, even if these things are not Zhang Shusheng, they will still make results, but he just can't rest assured, every time before the war, in the stage of planning and preparation, such busyness has become his routine.

"Why don't you let my sister go to Shanghai to see her and give her a birthday?"

Leaning over and pecking on her husband's face, Lu Yunyan asked against Zhang Shusheng's face.

Zhang Shusheng closed his eyes and said, "No, after I met Goering in the afternoon, we took a helicopter to Shanghai together, this girl." ”

In normal times, he rarely travels by helicopter even if he is in a hurry, but today, he feels that it is necessary. It's not because of anything else, it's just because Tantai has been abandoned by her family since she was a child, and every year she is born and celebrated every year, which is when her mood is at its lowest, Zhang Shusheng naturally wants to go to him for the next festival.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Ge Linjin to meet Zhang Shusheng.

Zhang Shusheng, accompanied by a number of senior military and political officials of the Wehrmacht, met with Goering and Ribbentrop, who had secretly visited China, in the Hall of Nations. The former was Hitler's absolute confidant, while the latter visited China many times, which can be regarded as an escort for Goering.

The first moment he saw Goering, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but smile in his heart, this Luftwaffe Marshal who was originally famous in history for his eyes and fat head and big ears, and the top henchman around Hitler, may be fatter than Zhang Shusheng imagined because the war in the Axis countries is much smoother than in history.

Before the interview, the security department showed Zhang Shusheng photos of Goering's inspection in a certain place in Germany three months ago, but they didn't expect the real person to look fatter.

Zhang Shusheng swept the conference seats in the Hall of Nations without a trace, and said secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the extra size seat specially arranged for your kid, I am afraid you would not be able to find a place to sit today.

"Ahh Your Excellency Zhang Shusheng, the head of the East whom I admire the most, please accept my most sincere respect, your wisdom and wisdom have also spread throughout Europe, and my dearest Führer, Mr. Hitler, has asked me to convey to you on his behalf the most sincere greetings from fraternal countries. ”

Originally, according to diplomatic practice, participants from both sides could enter at the same time, but Goering's status was not as good as Zhang Shusheng's, and it was the Germans who had a request for China.

When holding Goering's fat hands like elephant legs, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that under the obscene and disgusting appearance, this guy hides ambitions, conspiracy, and insidiousness far beyond ordinary people.

"Great Eastern Führer, it's a pleasure to see you again, you're just as impressive as you were a few years ago." Compared with Goering, Ribbentrop was more wise and magnificent, and after bowing, he shook hands with Zhang Shusheng, which was regarded as a salute.

Then, a number of military and political dignitaries on the Chinese side, including Army Commander Wu Tiejun and Air Force Commander General Fan Siran, met with the German personnel one by one.

When he learned that the middle-aged man opposite who had a slight silver hair and revealed a different divine light was a Chinese air force general, Goering's facial expression twitched without a smile, even if he was as conceited as him, he had to secretly say in his heart, at least these Chinese military and political officials are all talents, even in the aesthetics of Westerners, they are also beautiful men. In comparison, only a few of the German generals were similar in temperament, and looking at himself and Ribbentrop, especially himself, Goering had the idea of controlling his diet for the first time.

"is also the commander of the Air Force, is it because he is a general, and I am a marshal, his temperament is so much worse. Maybe because I'm a marshal, he's just a general. However, is there a marshal in China......"

Everyone sat down smoothly, except for Goering, perhaps because the seat was not custom-made, it was a little unsuitable, and when he sat down, he subconsciously twisted the fat meat mound, but suddenly found his gaffe, and immediately brought a sincere smirk on his face.

Zhang Shusheng scolded secretly, this is really a fat man with an obscene impression who knows how to enjoy it, but this has nothing to do with China.

However, what surprised Zhang Shusheng the most was that this dead fat man actually spoke Chinese, but unlike Ribbentrop, his spoken language was a little lame. Perhaps Hitler deliberately wanted to improve Sino-German relations, and most of the German delegation to China spoke Chinese very well.

Zhang Shusheng secretly said in his heart that Hitler was indeed showing goodwill.

The meeting was extremely unnutritious, and Goering, a fat man, flattered Sino-German relations in a roundabout way, and eventually even went so far as to preach that the Axis allies would rule the entire planet.

"Great Marshal of the East, you should understand that today you are completely on a par with the Third Reich in terms of national economic strength, industrial strength, army, navy, air force, etc. Hitler even privately referred to you as the Führer of the Fourth Reich on several occasions, believing that the world of the future should only be shrouded in the rule of a great Führer like you, who could be compared to him.

…… You see, the land of the East is so vast, there is Siberia full of resources, there is Southeast Asia, there is the Pacific region, there are countries such as Australia, and there are ...... In case you didn't know, the Führer had revised his blueprint for the Third Reich several times.

Sorry, because at first there was an underestimation of the strength of your country, and our initial goal was only to force the Soviets to sign an agreement to cede us something of interest to us, as they did in Poland.

Later, the development of the war, due to the brave fighting of the Third Emperor [***] team, exceeded our expectations.

For the first time, the Führer put the idea of occupying the entire territory of the Soviet Union in Europe, basically reuniting Europe in form, and establishing a European Nazi legion............ With China's full-scale entry into the war, it not only contained a large number of American and British troops in Southeast Asia, helped Yue himself complete the Southeast Asia strategy, and then went north to attack the Soviet Union, completely opening the prelude to the great Axis organization to dominate the world...... So, this time ......"

Goering paused slightly, then pretended to be unfathomable and profound: "The great Führer Hitler drew the most daring idea. In three to five years' time, we will win the entire Soviet war, and we will divide the whole Soviet Union with our great allies, and our third allies. In the Führer's conception, the Third Reich was to occupy the territory of the USSR in Europe and around the Arctic Ocean. You will get Central Asia and Siberia, and you will get the barren Pan-Far East.

We will force the British to withdraw from India, and if you or I am interested, you will all get a new colony in India, or at least a considerable military and economic interest, and in the Pacific direction, your country will mainly get the benefits of the South Pacific direction, and I will get the interests of the North Pacific direction, and we will get the interests of the hegemon in the Atlantic.

You may understand that the Americans cannot be defeated in a day, but once the basic outcome of World War II is decided, we will form a situation of encirclement of the Americans, weaken them, and completely turn them into the world's third-rate countries. ”

Hearing Goering's endless talk, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but show his impression of Hitler in the picture, and the impression was that this short man also liked to talk about long speeches, passing on some things that seemed shocking to others. And the people around him, who are most famous for their demagoguery and rhetoric, except for Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Third Reich, are the absolute third German people in front of him.

Seeing him pause slightly, Zhang Shusheng glanced at Premier Zhou Guolai, who immediately met and immediately smiled: "Mr. Goering, I don't know how your Führer, Mr. Hitler, thinks the first-rate countries and the second-rate countries are divided?" ”

Goering waved his hand and said, "I'm glad to answer for you." In the Führer's conception, Germany will be the future global bipolar hegemon and the world's first-rate country. Ben, Italy, and the Middle East alliance will be the world's second-rate countries. Third-rate countries are weak countries like the United States. ”

"Great idea." Zhou Guolai nodded noncommittally, and then stopped talking.

Zhang Shusheng is secretly in his heart, a bipolar overlord? Just kidding, if you really want to leave the bipolar hegemon, wait for the crazy Germany to develop slowly, maybe there will be a new Cold War at that time.

However, from Goering's words, Zhang Shusheng also realized that Hitler's desire for this war had reached the point where he needed to see the final results quickly. Perhaps because of Germany's domestic problems, or perhaps because of the fear that the war would go too deep, the Axis and the United States-led Allies ended up losing both. In short, Hitler's idea was to maximize the existing interests and then form a global encirclement of the United States.

If it is really as he intended, China can indeed take advantage of a lot, but that is obviously not what Zhang Shusheng wants.

At that time, tens of millions of heavily armed and armed to the teeth of the squadron, will they just get this little fruit of the war and return to the field? Just the whole people say singing and dancing?

Perhaps aware of some embarrassment, Ribbentrop said, "The status of your country is far higher in the heart of the great Führer than in himself. In the Führer's post-war conception, China will gain far more benefits than himself.

Moreover, due to the geographical location, China is getting stronger and stronger, and will continue to get stronger, and my influence on your country has been minimized.

At this time, if we can let go of some of the contradictions of the past and look to the future, in the future, we (the Axis powers) will have more.

When we look back at the First World War, the Entente also held the balance of victory, but because of some elements of disharmony and instability, the Italians eventually betrayed the Entente, which eventually led to an irreparable outcome of the war......"

As soon as Ribbentrop's words came out, everyone understood that the Germans meant: Compared with the interests of the post-war period, the less important person said that he was no longer worthy of being regarded as an opponent by China. And China should not expand the contradictions between China and China because of some past hatreds, and even reach the level of stability of the Axis of Crisis.

Ribbentrop even hinted that if the contradictions between China and China became more and more troublesome, it was difficult to guarantee that he would stay in the Axis countries with peace of mind.

When Zhang Shusheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Ribbentrop, thank you for your advice. We will seriously consider the future relationship between China and the Axis powers. ”

This is one of the things that Zhang Shusheng said not much, not because of how important what Ribbentrop said, nor because he reminded himself.

Most importantly, Zhang Shusheng found that, at least this time, the Germans' ideas were close to his own.

Perhaps Hitler also realized that the greatest destabilizing factor in the future of the Axis powers was not the difficulty of war, nor Europe, nor China, but in himself.

Perhaps, saving the tripartite relations between China and Germany, mending the cracks in the Axis powers, and preventing Hitler from gradually pushing himself to the side of the Allies were the most fundamental reasons for Hitler to send secret missions to China and China.

The ensuing meeting entered a boring stage, which was nothing more than the German side hoping to get some scientific and technological or military help from China, but the Germans talked about the most about this Sino-German tripartite joint maritime military operation. Those present were very senior military and political personnel from both sides, and they already had full access to these secret plans.

Zhang Shusheng did not speak again, occasionally Wu Tiejun and others would speak, or reply to the topic of the Germans, but from beginning to end, what Zhang Shusheng said, except for the first etiquette and surname greetings, did not exceed two sentences.

There is only one sentence: 'Thank you, Mr. Ribbentrop, for your advice. We will seriously consider the future relationship between China and the Axis powers. ’

As one of the highlights of the conference, the Germans said that after a certain period of war, or after the war, they would side with China and demand that they completely return the Far East close to China to China, so as to make up for the "Sino-Chinese relations" and the "damage to the feelings of the Chinese people and territories" caused by the seizure of territory by the Soviets.

After the reception, when the German delegation returned to the secret accommodation, when Göring and Ribbentrop had a post-meeting exchange, Göring was still quite excited, "Ribbentrop, the enthusiasm of the Chinese is beyond my imagination, and the Führer is right, as long as there are enough interests, the Eastern Führer will definitely be moved." ”

Ribbentrop nodded subconsciously, and after Goering left, he asked the German official in charge of the minutes of the meeting not far away, "How many words did the Führer say at the meeting?" What did they say? ”

What made Ribbentrop feel strange was that he and Goering felt somewhat similar, as if the tone of the whole meeting was very good, and the Chinese were very enthusiastic, and the Oriental head of state always gave a very positive and enthusiastic feeling. It seems that in the whole meeting, whether he speaks, or he nods, or even smiles, it represents a statement by him.

"Mr. Minister, the Eastern Führer has only said one sentence in total......"

The official, looking a little ugly, handed the foreign minister a brief transcript of the meeting.

When Ribbentrop saw it, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he turned around and left, but he secretly said in his heart: This Chinese head of state is more and more influencing a person's thoughts and thinking. Even if he only says one sentence, it will always make you subconsciously feel that he is very supportive of your ideas, he agrees, and he is very kind...... In fact, he only said one sentence from beginning to end.

He couldn't help but compare the usual style of Hitler's Führer, and couldn't help but secretly say: This Führer of the East is becoming more and more incomprehensible, perhaps, just like the tradition of their Orientals, more and more mysterious.

After the meeting, Zhang Shusheng took He Ning back to the head of state's base camp.

The afternoon meeting made him feel extremely bored, for him, it was rare for him to participate in such a meaningless, but extremely boring three-hour meeting in recent years.

From the beginning to the end, he did not have any superfluous words, not that he pretended to be profound, but that there was really nothing to say, China could not be guilty of currying favor with Germany, of course, the necessary face-saving work, maintenance work, naturally the following officials to do. And if it comes to any head-level promises, from the perspective of the head of state, Zhang Shusheng thinks it is absurd.

He will not promise anything to any country, because everything is in the interests of China first.

He will not throw out any high-minded and far-sighted talk, because everything can only be done in a down-to-earth manner, and after success, looking back is more convincing than looking forward.

Great blueprint ideas are not in the mouth, but on paper, conceived in the heart.

At 5:10 p.m. Hanjing time, Zhang Shusheng and his two wives boarded a helicopter bound for the Pudong Military Airport in Pudong, Shanghai, at the airport at the Führer's base camp.

The reason why he did not take the Führer Air Force No. 1 or other Air Force fighters was only because this was Zhang Shusheng's private matter, and moreover, this specially built helicopter was modified by Zhang Shusheng at his personal expense.

The basis of the modification is a high-surname multi-purpose armed / civilian helicopter exchanged from the dream system, the modification work makes it look more ordinary, in fact, it is very powerful, and it fully has the level of the most advanced armed helicopter of the United States in the first decade of the twentieth century.

"The things that are exchanged are good, but unfortunately they are too expensive."

This is Zhang Shusheng's biggest feeling when he arrived at the Shanghai Naval Airport.

It is true that helicopters are easier than other military aircraft, with a lot less procedures and no fuss, and they can move quickly, and they hardly need to alarm anyone except for the necessary security work.

After a brief make-up, after the experts from the security department of the base camp conducted a security assessment, the three people who almost couldn't recognize it was Zhang Shusheng's family and finally went to Huhai No. 1 Middle School under the secret protection of the guards.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, a Zhonghua A500 car arrived at the gate of Huhai No. 1 Middle School.

"Comrade, fifty meters ahead is the school, it's school time, traffic control is underway, please show your driver's license."

Because it was the rush hour after school, traffic control was carried out at the school gate, and a traffic policeman came over, saluted, and began to check.

"Yes, hard work."

Zhang Shusheng smiled and nodded, and handed him his driver's license.

His A500 luxury version of the Chinese car is just a hanging non-emergency license plate, so he queues up behind the control line, China's special license plate control is very strict, only emergency disaster relief, medical rescue, military operations, national security and other types of work needs, will have a special license plate.

Ten minutes later, after the students who came home from school for dinner had basically left, the traffic control on this street was lifted.

High school students in the Republic do not need to attend classes in the evening, nor do they need to go to self-study, however, the Education Law of the Republic stipulates that students must go to school in the evening, except for half an hour/one hour of physical fitness Yanhuang martial arts class, the rest of the time can choose group/individual activities.

As long as you are in school under the premise of abiding by laws and disciplines, you can participate in as many as hundreds of individual or collective evening activities, from reading books, watching movies, and watching television to ball games on the lighted courts, martial arts training, and even amateur military theory classes.

"Yo, you're coming to see the platform again."

When he saw Zhang Shusheng, the doorman was still very enthusiastic, and when he saw Lu Yunyan and He Ning who got off the car, the doorman couldn't help but secretly say, this family is a good guy, I'm afraid it's really either rich or expensive.

People can wear makeup, but that kind of temperament is difficult to hide, Zhang Shusheng is fine, temperament and appearance can be adjusted with personal emotions, He Ning and Lu Yunyan make people feel very temperamental.

"yes, I'm going to trouble you to register, hehe."

Soon, Zhang Shusheng took Lu Yunyan and He Ning into the school, and when he came to the dormitory, he said that He Ning had just gone to dinner with a classmate.

When they came to the cafeteria, Zhang Shusheng and the three of them attracted a lot of attention all the way, but this made Tangtai discover the three of them for the first time.

"My godfather was very brave back then, and once he fought ......"

Yutai was talking to Fu Huiyu, chatting about some of Zhang Shusheng's early battles and life anecdotes that she had slightly changed after she ensured that she did not leak secrets. Hearing that there seemed to be something talking in the cafeteria, as soon as I raised my head, I saw three people walking in the distance. A man with the temperament of a Wehrmacht soldier, and two noblewomen of twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

"Ah...... Godfather, little mom, big mom. ”

Yutai hurriedly got up, ran over and grabbed the hands of his little mother He Ning and his aunt Lu Yunyan, and said happily, "Little Mom, Big Mom, why did you accompany your godfather, didn't you say don't disturb your godfather, hehe~"

The little girl was still very happy in her heart, she didn't expect her godfather and two mothers to come at all.

Several people smiled and walked to the corner where Tantai and Fu Huiyu were sitting, and the seats next to them were occupied by some boys, which showed that the charm was too great.

There were only two of them at the small table of five people.

"Hello! Meet again. When Zhang Shusheng saw Fu Huiyu, he was slightly happy in his heart, and then said with a smile.

"You, hello." Fu Huiyu was slightly nervous, and when he saw the two women beside Zhang Shusheng, he couldn't help but look away slightly, and secretly said in his heart, it turned out that this was the aunt and the little mother of Tangtai, both of whom were peerless figures. However, she also has a cold arrogance in her heart that does not admit defeat.

Zhang Shusheng saw a small cake on the table, with the words 'Luo Yusheng said happy' written on it, which seemed to be given to her by Fu Huiyu.

"You girl, you actually have a cake to eat."

Seeing this, Zhang Shusheng slightly signaled He Ning behind him not to put the cake he brought on the table, but to let her put it aside.

"Since you girl has someone to give you a cake, we will eat it together, and this big cake will be divided among the students in your class." Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, he remembered that Yutai said that there was a habit of organizing students to talk about evening parties in the class.

Yutai also understood that if the big cake was put on the table, Fu Huiyu would be embarrassed, so he happily agreed.

So, the five of them began to eat her small cake, and Zhang Shusheng ordered some other dishes, which was a very hearty meal. The craftsmanship of the canteen is not bad, although the canteen is mainly for the public welfare of students, but in this small dining area, there are still exquisite special stir-fried dishes for some students who want to improve their taste. In fact, even poor students can improve once or twice a week in the food subsidy they receive. The Republic has always been generous in its investment in education.

The five people who ate the meal were very happy, and Lu Yunyan and He Ning also praised the master of the canteen for his good craftsmanship.

After eating, I don't know how the news of the birth of the platform leaked, and a classmate in the class, under the leadership of the teacher, wanted to celebrate the birth of her.

So, after observing the Yanhuang martial arts class for half an hour, Zhang Shusheng and the three of them participated in the short-lived party organized by the Yantai class. There are dozens of students in the class, and there is a student evening party almost every week.

It is said that it is a student evening, that is, collective singing, activities, and performances, which are essentially within the scope of collective activities in the school evening, but are spontaneously organized by teachers to enhance the feelings between classmates, and especially to take care of some students whose families are not good or whose surnames are withdrawn. Shantai Luoyu and Fu Huiyu performed their best guzheng and guqin, and other students also showed their hands.

Because they played late that night, Zhang Shusheng and the three of them stayed in the guest house in the school specially used for parents to visit and stay, and the next day, before class, Yutai and Fu Huiyu sent the three to the door.

Looking at the backs of Tantai and Fu Huiyu in the distance, Zhang Shusheng actually showed a trace of reluctance in his heart. Many times, he found that although he was becoming more and more accustomed to a life of high power, on the other hand, he was very moved by this ordinary life. Of course, Fu Huiyu and Yutai are also very likable.

"Be careful, I think this girl is good."

Looking at Fu Huiyu and the two who looked back and waved goodbye in the distance, Lu Yunyan looked at Fu Huiyu and said with a different meaning.

He Ning next to him was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: "Yes, sister, I also think she is very good, as good as our family." ”

Zhang Shusheng smiled, he knew best what the two women thought, and he didn't say much, "Let's go, there are still many things to do, let's talk about the rest later." ”

After Zhang Shusheng returned to Hanjing, Goering and others had basically completed their sightseeing and political and diplomatic work in China, and were preparing to leave for Yueben to carry out the next diplomatic maintenance work.

Before leaving, the high-level leaders of China, China and Germany held a special meeting at the headquarters of the 'Indian Counterattack' Maritime Joint Operations Plan in Hanjing, and the two sides discussed some details of the plan and the state of preparation.

On June 10, 1944, the plan was officially implemented.

"Chairman, the final implementation time of this plan is set for June 15.

According to the plan, it was the Germans who acted first.

Germany will dispatch a huge high seas fleet consisting of 24 of the 35 large, medium and small aircraft carriers, 12 from other European countries, a total of 36 aircraft carriers, more than 140 other ships, and more than 210 submarines. Today, when the role of the navy is becoming more and more prominent, the Germans have built their own powerful high seas fleet relying on the resources of almost all of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. This is also the reason why they were able to fight the British fleet and had the spare strength to harass the Americans.

The Germans' huge high seas fleet was to seek a real Anglo-German naval Armageddon while holding back the main British fleet under the guise of attacking Britain. It was expected that the British would have a huge fleet of more than 30 aircraft carriers to participate in the war, and the British actively learned a lesson in the Sino-British naval war, not only converting a considerable number of battleships into aircraft carriers, but also turning to building more cost-effective and material-efficient aircraft carriers at full speed, and the naval strength has developed rapidly in recent years.

After the Germans launched a feint, it was said that their combined fleet would go north to destroy the combined fleet of the United States and the Soviet Far East in the Okhotsk Strait and cut off the Americans' Far East transportation. After thoroughly attracting the attention of the U.S. military, they will advance the battlefield along the direction of the Aleutian Islands to the western coast of the United States, threatening the Alaska region of the United States, and creating a real threat to the American mainland.

His combined fleet will consist of more than 25 aircraft carriers, which is also more than 80 percent of his naval strength.

After the Germans and themselves attracted the main attention of the Americans, our army will take the opportunity to complete the sea march in two directions.

First of all, the participating units of our army will be divided into the Pearl Harbor direction and the Australian direction. The flotilla in the Pearl Harbor direction will consist of a powerful combined fleet of 22 aircraft carriers, including the Yellow Emperor, and in the Australian direction, it will be led by three aircraft carriers, which will be very onerous since their mission is to escort the landing force to occupy half of Australia.

Our fleet in the direction of Australia will depart in advance.

On about 15 June, the German fleets set sail, and after the naval battle began, the main fleet of our troops attacking Pearl Harbor, the base camp of the US Pacific Fleet, set sail. ”

"The strength is very strong, but the enemy is not weak, this battle at sea is not without variables, in short, you need to be careful and careful, cautious and cautious."

After listening to the brief report of the Navy Commander Deng Haoqian, Zhang Shusheng said.

The aircraft carriers of this period were not like later generations, the largest aircraft carriers reached the scale of a displacement of more than 100,000 tons.

In Deng Haoqian's report, those numbers seem huge, but in fact, a considerable part of them are escort aircraft carriers, and light aircraft carriers whose ships have been converted into aircraft carriers.

Most of these non-main aircraft carriers have a displacement of just over 10,000 tons, or even smaller, and the number of aircraft they carry is not much.

At present, in the world, except for China, which is not equipped with escort aircraft carriers, and a small number of modified aircraft carriers exist, other countries, including the United States, have a large number of escort aircraft carriers.

It only takes one to two months for them to convert a light aircraft carrier, while it takes at least 76 days for the Americans to build an escort aircraft carrier, 120 days for the Germans themselves, and 140 days for the Germans. But at the same time, the number that can be built is relatively large, which is why countries can quickly accumulate the number of aircraft carriers.

Zhang Shusheng clearly remembered that in the original history, in 1945, when the Americans attacked the mainland, there were hundreds of aircraft carriers and thousands of carrier-based aircraft.

Although it is only 1944, the intensity of the war has long exceeded that of 1945 in the original history, but in fact, the navies of various countries, except for the heavy losses of the Americans, are basically still the main force still standing, and they are not like on land, where hundreds of thousands and millions of troops have been wiped out.

The Americans, greatly stimulated by Pearl Harbor, not only quickly refitted a large number of light aircraft carriers, but also completely abandoned battleships, changed to the fleet model of air defense + aviation dual mission, and mass-produced aircraft carriers, and the number of aircraft carriers under construction in the entire United States once exceeded 25...... Although China has not built aircraft carriers indiscriminately all the way, it has been building its main aircraft carriers at a rapid pace, and a large number of 20,000-ton displacement-class aircraft carriers of the Warring States-class aircraft carriers have reached the order of 60 aircraft. And some of the modified Chunqiu-class aircraft carriers have a smaller displacement and a small number of carriers, but with the dual configuration of anti-aircraft weapons + carriers, they actually serve as real escort aircraft carriers.

Of the 25 aircraft carriers participating in the program, 12 are Chunqiu-class aircraft carriers, 11 are Warring States-class aircraft carriers, and the Yellow Emperor and Dashun are two emperor-class Chinese ace-level aircraft carriers. In the whole of China, there are only three ships, the Yellow Emperor, the Yandi and the Dashun, and another Yaodi is under construction.

It can be said that the strength of the Chinese Combined Fleet is already very strong, and it has also reached about 70% of the strength of the Chinese Navy.

On the other hand, the Americans have 70 aircraft carriers, and the huge loss of Pearl Harbor in 1942 is like a slap in the face, and the result of the subsequent frenzied refit and construction is that the United States has added dozens of aircraft carriers in two years.

Although a considerable number of them were escort aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers, this crazy pace of construction once made the people and the Germans who tightened their belts to build aircraft carriers feel depressed. The average speed of construction of two ships a month is difficult for Germany to achieve.

Because at present, the only thing in the world that can really compete with the Americans' Pacific Fleet and Atlantic Fleet is China's mysterious fleet, and China is also building multiple main aircraft carriers at the same time in a month, constantly building aircraft carriers, and expanding its navy again and again. The Americans are building a large number of aircraft carriers of all kinds, and China is focusing on building its main aircraft carriers, and the two sides are secretly competing the most fiercely.

Zhang Shusheng closed the document, made a final conclusion, and said to Deng Haoqian, "Last time, I attacked Pearl Harbor, and if it wasn't for our secret help, it was likely to be a mess. This time, for the first time, we're going to face the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, and I hope it will be a hearty victory. ”

"Yes, Chairman."

Half a month later.

Roosevelt's office in Washington, D.C., 10,000 kilometers away.

An officer rushed into Roosevelt's office almost at run-fast speed, handing Roosevelt the urgent telegram he had just received from Britain and the Far East.

"Mr. President, late yesterday, we discovered that our main fleet, a huge main fleet consisting of more than 20 aircraft carriers, suddenly arrived in the Strait of the Khotsk Sea for the purpose of military training...... In addition, this information has just been received from the British, and like our previous information, the Germans have launched a feint attack on the British mainland, but due to the situation, the British main fleet has planned a decisive naval battle with the German High Seas Fleet. ”

The officer said quickly.

Roosevelt nodded, "Two months ago, our agents discovered that China and Germany were secretly working on a large-scale military plan. A month ago, at a great cost, our secret services received back information that the three countries were planning to conduct joint operations at sea.

Half a month ago, we discovered that our fleet and the German High Seas Fleet were in action.

At the moment, only the Chinese are not acting. ”

"Yes, at the moment we only find that the Chinese have a large landing fleet under the protection of the escort fleet, heading for Australia." The official replied.

"Well, let it go, Australia, we're out of reach." Roosevelt sighed, but in an instant, his spirits were very good again, "I'm going to call an emergency military meeting right away." ”

After the official left, Roosevelt looked at the intelligence in his hand and muttered slightly: "Where will the real direction of attack of the Chinese be?" Indian Ocean? Expedition to Europe? Or the American mainland? Or what about Pearl Harbor? This is a problem. Their huge fleet was much stronger than that of himself and the Germans. ”

Closing his eyes slightly, Roosevelt recalled the special military meeting 10 days ago, which was a military meeting on a trilateral joint military operation between China and Germany. In response to the actions of the three countries, the United States and other member states of the Allied Powers have also drawn up corresponding plans, although they are not sure about the specific details of the actions of the three countries, but they have also made general arrangements.

For example, the main force of the Atlantic Fleet was secretly transferred to Pearl Harbor and the western coastal ports of the United States, and the focus of the decisive naval battle of the United States was placed in the Pacific Ocean, while the British fought a decisive battle with the Germans with the cooperation of the Soviet Arctic Ocean Fleet.

In order to further lay out the Pacific Ocean, the United States has even deployed a large submarine and air base on Guam, where not only as many as 20 submarines are arranged, but also a considerable number of strategic bombers are secretly deployed in case of emergency.

Having learned the bitter lesson of the attack on Pearl Harbor two years ago, the Americans have invested their blood to build a larger group of anti-aircraft fortifications and a land-based air force at Pearl Harbor with a near-terrifying number.

According to the concept of the US side, Pearl Harbor will be the core base for the US Navy to launch an offensive in the Pacific Ocean and balance China and the two countries, so that the base will have absolute self-protection capability and will also enable the base to meet the needs of a protracted Pacific naval war in the future.

To a certain extent, the Pacific Fleet has far surpassed the Atlantic Fleet, especially after the Soviet Union's Arctic Ocean Fleet recovers, it can properly participate in the maritime competition in the European direction, and can also protect the United States from the flank, this strategy is even more prominent.

On June 13, 1944, the Chinese and Australian special fleet, escorting two divisions of the army, set off for Australia, and their mission was to take over the largely uninhabited Australian grasslands and barren mountains.

This special fleet was followed by a scientific research fleet, loaded with instruments and geological and resource exploration scientists, whose mission was to go to the barren areas of Australia and quickly find resources.

On June 21, 1944, on the third day of the United States' Far East Naval Battle, the Anglo-German Naval Battle, a huge Chinese fleet secretly set sail from several Chinese ports and plunged into the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

They will sail for a month or so, hiding in the depths of the Pacific Ocean for secrecy, before launching the most violent Pacific attack ever on the Americans.
