Chapter 438: Fourth Carrier Battle Group
readx; Winter should have been an excellent time for the Soviet Red Army to counterattack, and it was precisely like this on the Western Front, the Soviet Red Army took advantage of the cover of the cold winter to successfully counterattack the German army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a time, the war that took place on the Western Front shocked the whole world, and the Soviets were overjoyed, and it had been half a year since the war began, and this was the first time they had given the German army a little color.
The British were also very happy, because they finally saw the deflated Germans on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, and only in this way would they be more sure that they would defeat the Germans in the next war, and they would have more time to prepare.
With the entry of the United States into the war, more supplies than before were shipped to the British mainland, either directly to the troops or into factories for processing, whether it was warplanes or ordnance, the number of which skyrocketed.
The mustache was taken aback, disappointed by the defeat in the Battle of Moscow, and at the same time expressed his dissatisfaction with the generals at the front, but then another important city would be in trouble because of the carelessness of the Soviet side.
Su Dao knows all these things, and he also understands the reasons for some things relatively clearly, but the question is, how should he say these things? What can be done to stop the madness of the mustache?
The mustache is well-known, as long as it is something he believes, basically no one can persuade him to change, and no one even dares to reason with him, Su Dao's words The mustache will not be completely ignored, but Su Dao is not confident that the mustache will listen to his words.
And Germany can lose the war, but it must not be a big defeat, because this will affect the plan of Su Dao's side, but what makes Su Dao even more painful is that the beginning and end of this matter still originates from Air Marshal Goering.
Historically, in the latter part of the Battle of Stalingrad, the German Army Chief of Staff, General Zeitzler, urged the mustache to order Paulus's Sixth Army to retreat, but Air Marshal Goering assured that he could guarantee that the Air Force would be able to supply the Sixth Army by air bridge.
So the mustache believed Goering's words and rejected the advice of the chief of staff of the army, General Zeitzler. It turned out that the Luftwaffe simply did not have the transport capacity to provide the supply of such a large number of troops, and its transport ceiling of 300 tons per day could not meet the demand of 700 tons per day.
However, Hitler still supported Goering's plan, and Hitler ordered Paulus to hold his ground, and the 6th Army must remain in Stalingrad, and ordered him to change the name of this army group to the "Stalin Bastion" Army in the future. Due to bad weather and anti-aircraft fire of the Soviet Red Army, the airdrop program soon suffered failure.
According to statistics, the Germans received only about 10% of their supplies, and the 6th Army gradually felt the threat of starvation. On the other hand, the Soviet Red Army was constantly strengthening the encirclement of Stalingrad and began operations to reduce it.
These are all things that Su Dao knows, and they don't know about the mustache, although they have experienced the defeat in the Battle of Moscow, but the mustache soon found hope for victory again, and thought that they could win.
The development of the Chinese Empire can be described as orderly, whether it is domestic or foreign wars, which are basically under the control of Su Dao, but his western ally Germany, really makes Su Dao a little worried.
If the mustache can be like Su Dao, directly divide the tasks for the people below, and then let them solve it by themselves on how to complete it, and can resist everything and not interfere, maybe Germany will not be defeated so quickly.
At this time, the mustache was depressed, and he wondered how this battle could have failed. I don't know what the problem is, and I don't know how to solve the current problem.
Some people are happy and some are worried, except for Germany and its allies, the rest of the countries are basically excited. Although Germany lost the war, they still had hope for Germany, although the Chinese Empire was also very strong, but after all, it was a newly formed country, and his image had not yet penetrated into their hearts.
Others are busy rejoicing, but Su Dao is hiding in the country and burying his head in development, the scale of the army is like this, no matter how it develops, it is impossible to increase too many people, so far the army is only about 7 million people, and it is still after the second batch of immigrants is all collected.
In other words, the limit of the army strength of the Chinese Empire is about 7 million people, and the navy and air force do not need many people, and the two can add up to 200,000 people.
Of course, this is not just an air base, but also a naval port, because this island is very large, but there are not too many people living on it, so at the beginning, Su Dao even coaxed and threatened to let those residents move out, and then this became a separate military base.
Under normal circumstances, the interior guard fleet will have a formation of about six or seven warships docked at the Bangka base, which is responsible for the security of this part of the capital.
But today's Bangka base is very lively, the air force pilots stand on the airport and look with interest at the new aircraft being assembled, and the naval dock is also full of people, but these people are all naval soldiers, one by one neatly lined up, not as chaotic as imagined.
More than 30 ships and submarines are docked on the pier, which are full of colorful flags, which will only be hung when the founding of the country or when there is a major event, and now it is also the most lively day at the Bangka base.
Because there are two giants docked here, it is here that the internal guard fleet will welcome their first aircraft carrier battle group, more than 30 ships and submarines, of which more than 20 are members of the aircraft carrier battle group, and the rest are originally warships of this Gbarnga base.
At this time, the Imperial Chinese Navy was also extremely dazzling, with six aircraft carriers alone, and if you add the two that are about to enter service, it will be eight, and in two months, there will be two more aircraft carriers to be commissioned in another military port in the west.
Once those two aircraft carriers are put into service, Su Dao's naval plan will be roughly completed, and the next time will be to train more soldiers in the aircraft carrier battle group, accumulate as many talents as possible, and slowly form a fifth aircraft carrier battle group.
At present, there are two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Pacific Fleet, a total of four aircraft carriers, one aircraft carrier battle group in the Indian Ocean Fleet, two aircraft carriers, and the Internal Guard Fleet is about to have an aircraft carrier battle group.
The eight 60,000-ton aircraft carriers are still not inferior to the United States in the slightest, because these eight aircraft carriers are all professional aircraft carriers, far from those aircraft carriers that have been converted from cargo ships, and the number of carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier far exceeds that of any country in the world.
To put it bluntly, if you contend with an aircraft carrier battle group on the side of the Chinese Empire, then the other side must dispatch at least three aircraft carriers, provided that the carrier-based aircraft are more advanced than those on the side of the Chinese Empire, enough to fight one at a time, otherwise everything is a floating cloud.
"Watching the warships in service, my heart has gradually become more stable, only when these warships gallop in this vast sea area, I can go to work with confidence."
Su Dao stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier marked No. 7, looking at the more than 30 warships in the port and the air force airfield where there was no shadow in sight, and suddenly sighed.
"Yes, when you found me in your hometown three years ago, I couldn't believe that what you said was true, in fact, I was just holding the attitude of giving it a try, anyway, I was idle at home, as long as I could have a warship handed over to me, but what I didn't expect was that now it has only been three or four years, and I have more than 100 warships and hundreds of transport ships under my command.
Yang Shuming nodded equally excitedly.
At this moment, he remembered Su Dao standing outside his door, the night when the snow was falling, at this moment, he remembered the promise Su Dao gave him at his home, judging from the current situation, Su Dao overfulfilled his promise, and also gave him a huge surprise.
"Americans are actually not terrible, and we have a great advantage over them now, and the reason why the United States is terrifying is not because of how powerful his troops are, but because the country's production capacity is really terrifying.
In fact, against an enemy like the United States, we have no way to destroy his production base, then it means that he will have a steady stream of warships to be added to the navy, and the only thing we can do is to destroy their fleet, so that their supply speed cannot keep up with the losses, so that their recruits will die on the battlefield before they have finished training. The veterans are dead, and there is a group of new recruits left, even if they are facing a hundred aircraft carriers? ”
Su Dao said lightly.
In fact, the terrible thing about the United States is just as Su Dao said, the performance of the United States in the early stage of World War II was actually average, and the war loss rate was very high, but because the soldiers had been training for a year or two, they could be regarded as having some foundation, but they had no battlefield experience.
This is also the reason why the US military can become more and more brave and stronger the more they fight, and it is not difficult to crack this way of them, that is, to strangle them before they grow up, and this is the only way.
Because of the special geographical location of the United States, it is impossible for Su Dao to directly send his army to invade the past like he did with other Asian countries, and if he wants to defeat the United States without worry, he can only beat his fleet to the ground, so that his army cannot go abroad.
"Yes, it's easy to say if you have a goal, the focus of our training next is how to make good use of this aircraft carrier battle group, if we can knock out the US aircraft carrier in the early stage of the war, then our advantage will be huge, as long as the ** is properly controlled, the United States basically has no chance to turn over."
Yang Shuming nodded, Yang Shuming, who had been to Europe to study, didn't know what the situation was in the United States, although he also knew some from the data, but after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but just the data on the surface still didn't look like something they could compete with.
Of course, this is only because Yang Shuming doesn't know where their warships came from, and the current shipyard is also very slow to build warships, and it can't keep up with the speed of troop supply, Yang Shuming has been thinking about a question, that is, where did these warships come from?
This is the only one in the world, and I have never seen this kind of warship in other countries, which seems to confirm Su Dao's statement, this is their own development and production, other countries do not, but where is the shipyard? And how did these warships come about? No one knows, not even the Air Force, which is responsible for the security of air defense at sea, has not detected when these warships entered the country.
"This aircraft carrier battle group is called the fourth aircraft carrier battle group, and immediately after the ceremony, it will be practiced in the inland sea, so that it can be used for actual combat as soon as possible."
Su Dao turned to speak, because there was another thing to do today, and it was also the thing that Su Dao was most concerned about. (To be continued.) )
