Chapter 634: Isabella's Great Retreat on

readx;

After the bombing, Washington, a megacity of a million people, was reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye, not to mention the political center and capital, and suddenly became the focus of the world's attention. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā•”ā•—

The fact that the Imperial Air Force was able to amass such a large amount of air power in such a short period of time to flatten a large city and highlight its formidable conventional military power made the entire Allied bloc feel unprecedented military pressure, not only did Roosevelt regret it (he should have endured it if he had known the outcome), but also Hitler felt that it was too hasty to declare war on the Chinese Empire.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and at the moment the US-German allies have to fight hard, otherwise once they show weakness, the results may be unbearable.

After Hitler learned that Washington had been razed to the ground, he was deeply impressed by the huge air force of the Chinese Empire, and immediately strengthened the air defense capability of the homeland, and the German Air Defense Command set up an emergency office, and dozens of German industrial enterprises, including the Krupp company, received orders for the production of 100,000 anti-aircraft guns. The commander of the Luftwaffe, Al Gore, also gave instructions at the subsequent Air Force meeting, demanding that the German Messersmitt Company immediately come up with a plan to deal with the threat of jet aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Air Force to intercept aircraft, and give priority to the Messersmitt Company to give priority to the production of 10,000 MW262 jet fighters.

By this time, the Luftwaffe was already armed with more than 400 ME262 jet fighters and had achieved excellent results on the Soviet battlefield, capable of completely suppressing the propeller fighters and bombers of the Soviet Air Force. And it can compete with the J-11 fighters of the Chinese Imperial Volunteer Air Force. The ratio of war losses has dropped from 3.8:1 last year to 1.5:1 before the official declaration of war between China and Germany. ╔╗ It's just that because the German aviation industry is still lagging behind the Chinese Empire in the production of jet fighter technology, the cost of producing the ME262 fighter is almost more than double that of the J-11 fighter produced by the Chinese Empire, and the huge cost pressure has made the financially strapped Luftwaffe unable to produce jet fighters on a large scale.

The result of the air raid on Washington after the Chinese Empire officially participated in World War II had already caused panic in the German High Command, so Hitler still decided to give priority to allocating 3 trillion German marks (about 3 billion dragon coins) to give priority to the production of 10,000 ME262 jet fighters in order to solve Germany's current weakness to the Chinese Imperial Air Force.

Of course, Messersmitt could not swallow this huge order, and the Luftwaffe command was also aware of Messersmitt's production capacity problems, so it negotiated. Seventeen German airlines, including Juncker, have joined forces to share the cake, but it will take three months to complete projects such as technology transfer and production line construction. Until then, the Luftwaffe had to rely on Messersmitt to provide 400 ME262 jet fighters a month.

Obviously. The performance of the ME262 fighter was not as good as that of the J11 fighter, which made the Luftwaffe, which was already numerically weak, even worse.

For this reason, Gore separately gave the Messersmit company a new research and development task, and within three months came up with a new aircraft capable of suppressing the Jian-11 fighters of the Chinese Empire.

As a result, the Messersmitt company gathered all the company's elites to invest in the development of new fighters, and Gore even more than a dozen other airlines from Juncker and other top experts to help, for the first time in German history, all airlines jointly developed a fighter situation, which also laid the foundation for the rapid development of the Luftwaffe in the future. ╔╗

At the request of the Luftwaffe, Gore provided Messersmitt with information about the Imperial Chinese J-11 fighter jet fighters that had been obtained and collected by the German OKW Intelligence Service.

What the OKW Intelligence Bureau can confirm is that the main armament system of the J-11 is two 30 mm MK38 cannons (100 rounds each), and the secondary armament is two external 30 mm MK35 cannons or two 12.7 mm M2 heavy machine guns. It can be roughly judged that its combat radius is 1400 km and the maximum speed is 1000 km / h.

In response to the data provided by OKW, Messersmitt came up with the fastest plan on the basis of not being limited by cost, that is, on the basis of the ME262 fighter, two rocket boosters were added to suddenly accelerate to catch up with enemy aircraft during air combat, so as to open up the battlefield situation.

But adding two rocket boosters is not an easy task, the main thing is the cost, but considering that the Chinese Empire is about to officially send an expeditionary force to Europe, a large number of jet fighters of the Chinese Empire will be put into the Soviet battlefield. The pressure on the Luftwaffe was enormous, so Gore had to approve this stopgap measure.

As a result, Messersmitt quickly added two sets of rocket boosters to the ME262 fighter, so that within three months, a new ME262 fighter would be launched into the air. ╔╗

Messersmitt and other airlines are well aware that this is only a stopgap measure, though. They are working a new jet fighter, codenamed "Euro Tornado".

With the Chinese Empire declaring war on the U.S.-German allies, Britain finally ushered in the dawn of an all-round increase in its military power.

Previously aimed at the Me262 jet fighter of the Luftwaffe. The British Air Force developed the Spitfire, but it was not successful. With the British joining the Commonwealth of China, the British Air Force acquired some jet engine technology that had been restricted from export by the Chinese Empire, allowing the heart of the British Air Force's Spitfire to be replaced with a high-performance Bison engine produced by Royal Heavy Industries of the Chinese Empire, which made its maximum speed approach 800 kilometers per hour. Before the Chinese Empire approved the export of J-11 fighters to Britain, the Spitfire became the main fighter of the British Air Force.

On the eve of the Chinese Empire's declaration of war on the United States and Germany, Royal Heavy Industries had delivered 800 Bison aero engines to the British Air Force, of which 600 had been installed on the Spitfire and the remaining 200 were used as backups.

The news of the Chinese Empire's air raid on Washington was a great cheer for the British people. It was a heavy blow to the Nazi clique. It was a great incentive for the Entente, or to be called the Union Powers.

On the same day, Churchill ordered the major British media to make efforts to hype up the air raid, and wanted the British people to believe that after the Chinese Empire entered the war, Britain would attack the United States and Germany allies and be humiliated. Churchill promised to defeat the Allied bloc soon, and the loot obtained would be used to make up for all the losses of the British people in five years of world war. ╔╗

Of course, this was just a political trick by Churchill, and he himself did not know how much loot he would get, and his purpose was only to appease the anti-war sentiment in Britain and win as many British people as possible to support the British government to rejoin the world war sequence.

It has to be said that Churchill's strategy worked very well. More than 90% of the British people are vindictive and support the government's entry into the war. However, this does not mean that they affirm the combat effectiveness of the British army, but that they are full of confidence in the strong national strength and military strength of the Chinese Empire.

Whatever the reason, Churchill had the support of the people. More than 900,000 Anglo-French troops were ready to return to the European continent.

The day after the Chinese Empire declared war on the United States and Germany, Lieutenant General Chen Zhen, commissioner of the General Staff of the Chinese Empire, arrived in London and met with Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, and other officials of the British and French High Command.

During this period, Chen Zhen responded to Churchill's previous proposal to the Chinese emperor to open up a second battlefield in Europe. The Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao agreed, and Chen Zhen, on behalf of the Chinese Emperor, formally discussed with the British and French Allied Forces Headquarters about specific combat operations.

"Before the meeting, I would like to formally convey the latest notice of the League of Nations." Chen Zhen looked at Churchill and de Gaulle and said: "The League of Nations has expelled the United States, Germany, Italy and other Allied member states, and all the participating teams that have waged war against the Allied Powers will be unified into the command of the Joint ** Command. At present, the joint ** commander-in-chief is commanded by General Cai Yi, a five-star general of the Imperial Chinese Army, I don't know if you have any objections? ā€

Does this need to be asked?

Churchill and de Gaulle looked at each other. ╔╗ just smiled bitterly, and then nodded in agreement.

"That's good!" Chen Zhen then said: "Now I announce the appointment of the Joint ** General Headquarters!" ā€

"General Chen Yi of the Imperial Chinese Army is hereby appointed as Commander-in-Chief of the European Theater of Operations, and Lieutenant General Liu Bochen of the Imperial Chinese Army is appointed as Chief of the General Staff......"

The main positions in Chen Zhen's appointment letter were all held by officers of the Chinese Empire, and the commanders of the army, navy, and air force of Britain and France were all subordinate. Churchill didn't care about this, this was something he had expected for a long time, with the national strength and style of the Chinese Empire, this was too normal. De Gaulle, the leader of the government-in-exile, was counting on the Chinese Empire to recover French territory, so he did not oppose it.

However, there was no shortage of talent in the British and French armies. Generals such as Montgomery and Cunningham were also appointed and reused, and the only thing that puzzled Churchill and de Gaulle was that they learned after inquiring that these people were actually appointed by Wang Chenhao, the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

After reading out, Chen Zhen turned to Churchill and said: "The imperial government has decided to send 500,000 expeditionary forces to open up a second battlefield in Europe. All ordnance and munitions will be delivered to England at present, and I hope that your country will be able to implement them as soon as possible. ā€

Churchill hurriedly said: "There is no problem with this. We've been ready for a long time! ā€

Churchill was still very far-sighted, as early as the second year of the outbreak of World War II, he expected that the Chinese Empire would sooner or later enter the war, and half a year ago he judged that the Chinese Empire was about to enter the war, and for this reason, a large number of new military bases were built in Britain, just to wait for the day when the Chinese Imperial Expeditionary Force arrived in Britain.

Only, there was one disappointment for Churchill. Regarding the fact that the Chinese Empire only sent 500,000 expeditionary forces, he previously estimated that the Chinese Empire would send at least 3 million expeditionary forces, after all, the Chinese Empire had a population of 500 million, and 3 million troops was simply a simple matter.

"Isn't that 500,000 too little?"

De Gaulle couldn't help but ask first.

Chen Zhen said with a smile: "Please believe that the strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor's ** team, 500,000 is enough to be worth the five million army of the Allies." ā€

Although Chen Zhen's words are a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that the 500,000 troops that the Chinese Empire is about to send to Britain are all the standing army of the Chinese Empire, and they are all elite troops. Compared with the German soldiers, the soldiers of the Chinese Emperor ** from the steel helmet on the head, to the body armor on the body, to the steel boots under the soles of the feet, the protection ability is extremely strong, plus the 6.5 mm caliber individual M16 assault rifle, the large-caliber M2 heavy machine gun used by the squad platoon, bazooka, flamethrower, and strong communication capabilities, the squad platoon can directly call the support of fighters, bombers and armed helicopters of the army aviation, and even call the fire support of naval guns. Taken together, the Chinese Imperial Army has already achieved modernization compared with the American and German armies, and the two sides are fundamentally qualitatively different, and the role of quantity is outdated.

However, Churchill, de Gaulle and others did not know the real combat effectiveness of the Chinese Imperial Army, and they did not even know that the Chinese Empire already had a super weapon of destruction such as armed helicopters, so they were naturally a little disappointed when they heard that they had only sent 500,000 troops.

Chen Zhen didn't elaborate, but just comforted them and asked them to believe in the powerful power of the Chinese Emperor's ** team.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire's air raid on Washington had highlighted the strength and devastating power of its air force, so Churchill and de Gaulle believed Chen Zhen's words.

While everyone was discussing the details of opening up a second battlefield in Europe, the American continent had turned upside down.

The seven days and nights of fire put Washington in the spotlight of the world, but within a few days, the world's focus quickly shifted to the Mexican battlefield.

When the U.S. troops fighting on the Mexican border learned that the capital had been razed to the ground, they were not deterred, but under the instigation of Roosevelt and the SS, they turned their grief into strength and vented all their anger and hatred on the Mexican army.

In just three days, the Battle of the Rio Grande ended, and the U.S. Army quickly crushed the Mexican Army that had been holding the U.S. Army on the U.S.-Mexico border for more than a year with a devastating offensive.

On 7 May, the 25th Army landed in Alvarado in the Gulf of Mexico under the cover of the US Maritime Self-Defense Force and began a large-scale invasion of Mexico's strategic rear in order to coordinate with the main offensive of the US forces on the front of the Rio Grande.

According to the operational intentions of the US High Command, the US military will not give the Chinese Empire a chance to reinforce Mexico this time, and before the Chinese Imperial Army reinforces Mexico, it will launch a blitzkrieg to flank the Mexican Army at the same time, so as to avoid the recurrence of the situation in which the Chinese Imperial Airborne Forces carried out a large airborne landing in Monterrey to block the advance of the US Army during the Third US-Mexico War.

Because the main forces of the Caribbean Fleet of the Chinese Empire were sunk in the port of San Juan, the naval strength of the Chinese Empire in the Caribbean was very weak at this time, and the aircraft carrier battle group was transferred to the North Atlantic to attack Washington, so the US Maritime Self-Defense Force was able to smoothly cover the amphibious landing of the US 25th Army and quickly launch an attack on the east coast of Mexico.
