Chapter Ninety-Seven: Repercussions and Wang Fan's Thoughts
In late June 1943, when the news of Hawaii, the Stars and Stripes, was conquered by the Combined Fleet of Japanese Invaders and landed and occupied by the world, different waves were set off between the Allies and the Axis Powers.
Berlin, the capital of Germany, Hitler's high command.
"Haha, the combined fleet of those yellow-skinned monkeys did a really good job this time, and to be honest, it is beyond my imagination to achieve such results!" When Hitler heard the news that Hawaii in the Republic of the Stars and Stripes had been attacked by the combined fleet of Japanese pirates and had fallen, he couldn't help but say to the generals around him.
"Your Excellency, the Great Führer, this time the Stars and Stripes Republic is estimated to readjust their strategic focus, they have always insisted on Europe first and then Asia, and now even their own territory has been captured by the enemy, I guess that even if we only consider the pressure of our own side to take revenge, Roosevelt will first take back Hawaii!" A field marshal chimed in.
"Yes, immediately send this news to Manstein and other front-line generals on the front line, so as to boost the morale of the front-line troops and make them happy!" Hitler, who was in a good mood, suddenly remembered that he should properly care for the soldiers and generals at the front, so he ordered the staff officer beside him.
"Yes!" After the staff officer agreed, he immediately walked out quickly.
"Hasn't that pseudo-Bismarck been there lately?" After seeing the staff officer leave, Hitler asked the fat man next to him, Goering.
"Great Führer, there is no news of him yet!" Goering shook his head in reply.
"What happened to those jets, can't they be copied yet?" Hearing no hope answer, Hitler was somewhat disappointed and continued to ask.
"Our military experts have studied it, and in general it is still very promising to imitate, that is, the premise of imitation is that a lot of equipment is required to be transformed, and at the same time, it is limited to fuselage materials and yield rate, and the man-hours required to produce a Silver Eagle fighter (the name of the Luftwaffe for the sixth master) are somewhat long, and the cost is too high, so now we are trying to find a way to liberate these mass production obstacles!" Seeing that his boss was not satisfied, Goering hurriedly continued, "Great Führer, please rest assured, the 1,500 Silver Eagle jet fighters in our hands have only lost more than thirty so far, and the number is still enough to defend Germany's airspace." And because the results of the recent volleys have been extremely impressive, and now that the strategic bombing forces of the Stars and Stripes Republic and the British Empire have suffered heavy losses, they no longer dare to organize and launch a large-scale bombing campaign against the hinterland of our country at will, and I dare to guarantee with my life that the airspace in Germany is now very safe! ”
"Yes! Because of this, you must find a way to produce this advanced aircraft as soon as possible, and now limited to quantity, our army cannot put it into the front-line battlefield and conduct a war of attrition, which is a great loss for the Empire! Hitler was still very satisfied with the overall performance of the Luftwaffe during this period, so it was very pleasing to the eye when he looked at the face of the fat man, so he continued to order, "At the same time, tell Paulus and Manstein that once they meet that pseudo-Bismarck, show our sincerity at all costs, and be sure to finalize the next order as soon as possible, the Lion tank and this jet, and order another 2,000 each, well, no, 3,000 (units)!" ”
"Yes!" Goering replied loudly.
After hearing the news of the fall of the Star-Spangled Banner in Hawaii, Churchill couldn't help but be restless and walked back and forth in the house.
"Your Excellency, are you worried about the delivery of those destroyers?" Karl, an important assistant to Churchill, knowing that Roosevelt had mentioned the matter by telegram today, asked.
"No, the delay in the delivery of those 50 destroyers will not change the current war situation, so their delay in delivery is not a big deal!" Churchill shook his head and said, "I'm worried about the Battle of Sicily, which was originally planned to be launched at the end of July (historically, the Allies landed in Sicily, thus further forcing Italy to surrender and withdraw from the Axis powers)!" ”
"Battle of Sicily?" Karl wondered.
"The premise of the Sicilian campaign we plan to launch is that a large number of Stars and Stripes Navy and Army are needed to support them, and without their logistical supplies, the British Empire simply cannot launch such a large-scale landing operation!" Churchill explained, "But once Roosevelt and his team decide to change their strategy of Europe and then Asia, and instead counterattack Hawaii and regain the territory of the Stars and Stripes Republic, then our strategic goal of landing in Sicily, defeating Italy, and forcing it to surrender will be delayed for at least half a year, until next spring!" ”
"That's right, after all, catering to public opinion and recovering one's own land is now the mainstream voice in the country of the Star-Spangled Banner!" Carl nodded in agreement.
"And," Churchill said again.
"What? Your Excellency Prime Minister, are there any other influences? Karl wondered.
"I'm more worried that Roosevelt will ask the British Empire to send warships for assistance, after all, now their Pacific Fleet is basically wiped out, and the main ships of the Atlantic Fleet are almost transferred, basically half-crippled, but once we send warships to participate in their counteroffensive, then the number of warships we can use to escort will be greatly reduced, and the supplies sent to the British mainland will face the death threat of German submarines again!" After Churchill said to himself, he suddenly ordered in a loud voice: "Arrange a ship for me, I will go to Washington again, and persuade Roosevelt that he must not change his strategic decision to put Europe first and then Asia!" ”
"Yes! Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I will arrange it now! When Carl heard this, he immediately got up and quickly went out.
The Soviet Union, the Kremlin, and Stalin also discussed with their aides the possible adjustment of the Stars and Stripes Republic's policy toward the Soviet Union after the fall of Hawaii.
"Damn, how can these Japanese dwarf monkeys really capture Hawaii!" Stalin yelled angrily.
"It may be that they made a desperate bet, invested all their naval combat power, and fought to the death, but I didn't expect it to be really successful!" Vasilevsky guessed.
"Although I don't know how they did it, maybe those Stars and Stripes are too underestimating the enemy, but now the war situation of our alliance in the world has not collapsed to the point of being out of control, and now Midway, New Zealand, Australia and other strategic places are still in the hands of the Stars and Stripes!" Zhukov persuaded.
"However, their Pacific Fleet is all over, and if they want to fight back, it will take at least a few months to rebuild warships and train soldiers!" Vasilevsky continued.
"Yes, in the past few months, those Star-Spangled Guys who are afraid of death will definitely choose to shrink their forces to defend, and our heroic Soviet people will continue to shed blood and sacrifice here to resist the invasion of the Germans, damn it! Also, I don't know if the fall of Hawaii will affect their assistance to our country, I remember that the warplanes taking off from the waters of Hawaii can cover a considerable area of the North Pacific Ocean, and maybe it will affect the ships carrying aid from the Stars and Stripes! Stalin continued, "As soon as the supplies we urgently need such as warplanes and food are reduced, then the war at hand will be even worse!"
Due to the successive defeats in Stalingrad, the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia, and Kursk, the morale of the entire Soviet army is now low, and the defense is completely supported by numerical superiority, after Stalin transferred 900,000 troops from the Far East Siberian Army, although he effectively strengthened the strength of the Soviet army on the Eastern Front, but only maintained the war on the Eastern Front in a stalemate stage, and the three fronts of the North, Central and South did not have an advantage over the German army at all, and even the Soviet Union's battle situation on the southern front of the Soviet-German battlefield can be described as erosive.
At the same time, because of the consumption of a large number of domestic soldiers and other cannon fodder in the first two years of the war, there is now a shortage of human resources in the Soviet Union, coupled with the reduction of material supplies and frequent intermittent occurrences, and now the prospects of the entire Soviet Great Patriotic War are dim, and there is no dawn of victory in the short term. Knowing these realities, several high-ranking military officials of the Soviet Union could not help but fall silent when they heard Stalin's concerns.
30,000 meters above Pearl Harbor, in the aircraft where Wang Fan was.
"I didn't expect Yamamoto's luck to be so good, he hid in southeastern Hawaii for a day and a night, and was not discovered by the transport ships passing by, it seems that after avoiding the death of the air raid in history, Yamamoto's 'point' is back!" Wang Fan looked at the image on the screen of the aircraft and muttered to himself.
"yes, I thought you'd carry out a targeted bombing and destroy half of the Stars and Stripes Republic planes deployed in Hawaii!" After Yadi heard Wang Fan's words, he answered.
"Originally, there was this plan, but I didn't expect that this attack of the Japanese combined fleet would go so smoothly, although the final raid turned into a strong attack and a strong attack, but the final result was still good, at the cost of killing more than 1,000 landing troops, Hawaii and Pearl Harbor were captured, this deal is suitable no matter what, and it has been done!" Hearing Yadi's question, Wang Fan replied.
"You just counted the number of casualties, plus the wounded, a total of more than 4,000 casualties, which is not less!" Yadi, who has been observing the battlefield, was very dissatisfied with Wang Fan's unrigorous conclusion of 'running the train with his mouth full', and corrected it.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, those devils aren't dead, and when the injuries are healed, they won't continue to disgust the Stars and Spanglers!" Regarding Yadi's sometimes perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive tendencies, Wang Fan's countermeasure is to go into the left ear and the right ear, selectively ignoring it.
After dealing with Yadi's questioning, Wang Fan continued, "But I really didn't expect that the Japanese had the courage to prepare a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, intending to cut off the logistics artery of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, the Trans-Siberian Railway!" Hehe, no wonder their Yanhuang dispatch army has not entered Shaanxi for a long time, even after our third column captured the important town of Baotou, there was no reaction, it turned out that they were actively preparing for war, preparing to carry out a thousand-mile attack! (Wang Fan relied on black technology to monitor the base camp of the Japanese Invaders for a few days, and finally knew the overall plan of the high-level Japanese Invaders)
"Strategically, it's a great idea, it's all about execution. If the logistics of their surprise attack force are not good, the thousand-mile rush will become a big joke! Yadi commented.
"According to the information we have received, the Japanese plan to use the only nearly 3 tank divisions in their hands as the core to carry out a lightning attack, and then use most of the vehicles of the Guan Dong Army as a supply force, Yadi, what do you think is the probability of their success after deducing?" Knowing that Yadea's IQ and level were far higher than his own, Wang Fan at this time did not make up his mind, but asked humbly.
"According to the combat strength of the existing Mongolian army, the number of Soviet troops stationed on the Soviet-Mongolian border, as well as their equipment and soldiers, I think that the probability of the Guan Dong army attacking Mongolia and reaching the Soviet-Mongolian border is as high as 9 percent, breaking through the Soviet defense line, and before it gathers enough counterattack troops, the probability of success in destroying a part of the Trans-Siberian Railway is about 6 percent!" Seeing Wang Fan's humble question, Yadi did not deliberately make things difficult and ridiculed, and expressed his opinion.
"6 into? It's not low, it's enough to make the Japanese go all out, remember that when the Guan Dong Army just launched 918, they only had more than 20,000 people in the three huge eastern provinces and dared to start a war on their own, and at that time, according to the comparison of troops, only about 2 percent of the certainty! After hearing Yadi's analysis, Wang Fan was a little touched and replied, "Okay, regardless of them, this time we are fighting with the snipe and the clam and the fisherman is profitable, so let's wait to pick up the cheap!" Yadea, let me ask you, if I buy a large number of rails, which are the kind of rails that have been assembled with concrete sleepers, and can be directly used after being put in the correct position by forklift, can you connect and build a long railway in a very short time? ”
"Railroad? What do you want? Hearing Wang Fan change the topic and talk about the 108,000-mile railway, Yadi asked suspiciously.
"Tell me first, can you do it?" Wang Fan did not answer, but asked urgently.
"Then you need to tell me the location first, according to the information on the Internet of the main plane where you are located, the construction of the railway not only involves the laying of rails, the choice of location, and the geological composition of the location of the railway, directly determine whether the railway foundation treatment is required!" Yadi pressed her curiosity and patiently explained.
"The location is in Mongolia and Shaanxi for the time being!"
"Mongolia and Shaanxi? Well, in these two places, I recommend using the soil cushion method, because the soil of the Loess Plateau is somewhat soft, belongs to the soft soil foundation, and the soft soil part needs to be dug out, and then replaced with sand, gravel, blast furnace dry powder and fly ash and other materials with good engineering characteristics, layered compaction, you can directly lay sleeper rails on it, of course, such a railway speed is best not to exceed 120 kilometers per hour! Yadi replied.
"You can do it, right? Sand and gravel, all the soft soil is dug up, these are easy to do, I have a way, but hundreds of kilometers of railway laying, you have no problem, right? After Wang Fan heard that there was hope, he couldn't help but show a happy expression and confirmed again.
"That's just tightening the big screws, I can build some special robots, and very quickly, what do you think, why did you suddenly think about the railway?" Yadi was still very curious and continued to ask.
"Let's go back to Shaanxi first, tell the Yanhuanghong Party little devils their true intentions recently, and let them prescribe the right medicine. Then you and I will return to the main plane, and I'll tell you my thoughts in detail on the way! After speaking, Wang Fan piloted the aircraft and flew at high speed in the direction of Shaanxi Province, northwest of the Yanhuang Continent.
