Chapter 213: The American Mentality

Fang Ping's English American taste is very good, and Alexander is very unhappy to listen to. However, now is not the time to care, Alexander is more concerned about the pilot's suzhì and the fighter's surname Neng.

"Is this China's latest fighter jet?" Alexander put away his arrogance, the British air force was consumed in Singapore, and the Indian side had less than a hundred fighters, or the Hurricane that had been proven to be backward in Europe.

"Yes, you read that right. This is the newest Mustang-B, and I have flown the Mustang-A fighter to shoot down twenty German planes in the Battle of Britain, including three of the latest German FW190s. Judging from the surname ability, the Mustang-B type has improved in all aspects, and my personal experience judgment should be slightly ahead of the FW-190 in the surname ability. In particular, the advantage is more obvious at altitudes above 6,000 meters, which is mainly due to the supercharger technology provided by Merlin. ”

When he heard the words that he had shot down 20 German fighters in the Battle of Britain, Alexander's whiteboard face was put away, and he saluted Fang Pingzheng: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your contribution to the British Empire!" You are a true warrior! "At this time Alexander was in a good mood, because the wing commander sent by the Chinese looked young, but was already an ace pilot.

Alexander walked away satisfied, with his chin held high. Gao Xiaoqiang, the captain of the first brigade, was very unhappy with the British, and the other party muttered: "The British devil who is said to be a dog, so that the parents who cleaned up in Germany don't know each other, and they are still putting up a shelf in front of us." If I knew this, it would be better to go to the Far East to have a good time with Lao Maozi. ”

Fang Ping said with a smile: "The British have this German surname, compared to Maozi, I am not a good thing, of course, the great powers have no good things." We are soldiers, the interests of the country are higher than a qiē, and military orders must be obeyed. Something like that, I don't want to hear it a second time. Hurry up and rest, I've been flying for half a day. As he spoke, he subconsciously took out his wallet from his arms, and when he opened it, there was a photo of an English girl staring at her. Because of the war, the girl named Daisy insisted on staying in England, continued her medical work, and gave up following Fang Ping back to China. Probably because of Daisy, Fang Ping chose the 23rd Fighter Wing and came to India to fight for Britain again. In fact, Fang Ping doesn't like the British very much, uh, the exception of British female nurses.

Captain Rounes was ordered to receive the Chinese pilots, and soon Fang Ping learned from Lunes that Bombay was just a transit point and had to fly to Calcutta. Lunes did not explain in detail, but the real reason was that the British had received information from China that the army was likely to carry out a landing operation in the direction of Calcutta.

At this time, the base camp of the army had already issued an order for India to fight, and the navy dispatched three aircraft carriers and four battleships, while the army directly transferred the sixth, eighth, and 11th divisions, plus one heavy artillery brigade and one tank wing, from various battlefields in the South Seas. This is the maximum limit that Yue can bear to send troops, and he has been lacking resources for a long time, and he originally planned to grab some ships from the South Seas, but he did not expect that the European and American ghost animals and the Chinese were colluding and hung up the Chinese flag in advance, or they were hired by China to evacuate overseas Chinese.

At the Naha Military Port, the crowd of farewells on the dock had not yet dispersed, and Yamamoto Fifty-six, who was holding a knife in both hands, looked at the figure of the navy warship that was gradually moving away, and his face was solemn. The Kuroshima Kameto, who was trusted by Yamamoto, whispered on the side: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you worried about the Chinese?" ”

Yamamoto nodded and said expressionlessly: "The Chinese have built an airfield in Natuna, and the entire channel is within the attack radius of the Chinese aircraft. It would be false to say that I was not worried, and the only hope now was that the Indian campaign would open up the situation as much as possible and lock in the victory before the Chinese entered the war. ”

"Our intelligence officers reported that the Chinese Navy is equipped with the latest fighters, and the surname can be no less than the Zero. It's a pity that I haven't seen the real thing, so it would be nice to get one and study it. "The Black Island Turtle Man knows what Yamamoto thinks, and he breaks Yamamoto's mind in one sentence.

"China's rise is a sad thing, one China already makes us worry and fear, and there is a more powerful United States to deal with. In half a year at most, the U.S. Pacific Fleet will be able to regain its strength, but unfortunately we are not capable of capturing Hawaii. There is some truth in the Army's advocacy of attacking Australia first. With Australia as a springboard, an attack on Hawaii may not be impossible. It is a pity that the struggle between the navy and the army never stopped. Yamamoto said this, and the turtle man of Kuroshima hesitated a little before saying: "Your Excellency, the attack on Australia must consider the strong maritime capabilities of the Americans. In contrast, attacking India is clearly more certain. ”

"I know that, but it's really unsettling not to take advantage of the heavy losses of the U.S. Pacific Fleet to seize Australia. The preparation for the campaign against Australia will take at least a month, and when we are ready, the Americans will be able to send at least five to eight infantry divisions to Australia, plus the army of Australia itself, and the odds of victory are too small. That's why I didn't stick to this point of view at the meeting of the Navy. ”

Yanjing, the official residence of the president. Xu Shuzheng strode into President Fangda's office and said quickly: "Fuguo, this fleet has gone to sea, and the target discovered by the Navy submarine No. 029 is currently in this position." ”

Fang Jianxiong glanced at the point on the map that Xu Shuzheng pointed to, and said silently: "It should take 14 days to reach Kolkata on a normal voyage, and it will take at least fifteen days to keep up with the fleet carrying infantry from the Philippines and Singapore." According to this estimate, let the British know privately. ”

"Do you want the Navy's submarine force to give the supply fleet to Yuben?" Xu Shuzheng was eager to try, Fang Jianxiong shook his head: "It's not time yet, let the British have a headache." Liu Mingzhao's plan was to launch a general attack on Tashkent on February 10, and now it is January 30, and the logistics are a little more focused, especially large-caliber artillery shells and 500-kilogram aerial bombs. ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "I understand, after I personally walked around, I stared at them and moved faster." Be sure to take Tashkent before spring comes. Otherwise, the Soviet army will take advantage of the winter to ease up and return to the previous stalemate situation. ”

As soon as Xu Shuzheng left, Chen Shaokuan came, and when he saw Fang Jianxiong, he said: "President, the submarine force has intelligence, why don't you report it to me, the naval commander, first?" It's not in line with the rules! "Submarines have always been a relatively readable establishment, and submarine commander Chen Fu is also a lieutenant general, which is the same level as Chen Shaokuan. When such a thing happened, Chen Shaokuan had to speak even if he knew that Chen Fu was Fang Jianxiong's cronies.

Of course, Chen Shaokuan has another meaning, grasping the command of the submarine force in his hands, which requires Fang Jianxiong to nod.

"You people, you used to look down on both submarines and aircraft carriers, especially you, who were clamoring to build battleships all day long. Now that I see the benefits of submarines and aircraft carriers, I want to ask for the command of others. Fang Jianxiong's face flushed when he said this, but he still insisted: "President, you know the benefits of unified command. ”

Fang Jianxiong rolled his eyes and sighed: "Of course I know, forget it, let Chen Fu be the deputy commander of the navy, and in the future, the submarine force will be unified by the headquarters." ”

Chen Shaokuan, who succeeded in the conspiracy, left with a smile, and Fang Jianxiong shook his head with a wry smile. The navy fights with the army, and the navy fights itself. Where there are people, there is infighting, but it depends on what Cheng dù is. We have to take advantage of the opportunity of World War II to improve the command system of the navy, and don't think about it as it is now, Chen Fu's submarine force will listen to it and not listen to it.

There is no doubt that the key to combat is the navy. That's why Fang Jianxiong will indulge Chen Shaokuan, it is still in the preparation stage, and it is estimated that it will take a few months or even half a year to really fight. The United States and Britain have been urging China to join the alliance, and Germany is also actively courting China, which is also the reason why this cabinet judges that China is vacillating. Because it is swaying, it will not declare war on Yue in a short time, otherwise Yue Ben will still have time to fight India, and the main route from Nanyang to Yue Ben will be under the nose of the island of Taiwan, not to mention the threat of Natuna.

Not long after sending Chen Shaokuan away, Duan Feng and Jiang Fangzhen came together. Jiang Fangzhen said excitedly: "Fuguo, the aid promised by the United States has arrived in Yangon Port, this is the first batch, a total of 200 P-39s, 200 C-47s, and 10 B-29s. There are also 10,000 tons of aviation aluminum and 100,000 tons of high-grade aviation diesel. ”

Fang Jianxiong was not happy, but frowned slightly: "What about the proximity fuse?" "This is what Fang Jianxiong cares about the most, and other things are also important, but there is no proximity fuse for the battle, and the crazy kamikaze agent team is called fatal. The proximity fuse of this space-time was born ahead of schedule because Fang Jianxiong instructed Fisher to study in advance in the United States. Because the scale of the domestic electronics industry is too small, it can only be produced in the United States. Fang Jianxiong has always been worried that the US political axe will play tricks on this technology.

"A million 105 proximity fuse bombs!" Duan Feng took the words, Fang Jianxiong breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that his waist was a little stiffer. "It's less, it's still less, how can there be one or two million."

"Supporting the country, this thing is precious, but there is no such thing in the materials aided by the United States." Jiang Fangzhen was really distressed.

"No matter how expensive it is, it must be purchased in large quantities, and there are no production conditions in China, otherwise it will let the Yankees slaughter it." When Fang Jianxiong said this, he was a little weak-hearted, because the patent for this technology was in Fisher's hands, and the production enterprise was also produced by Fisher and American companies, and Fang Jianxiong actually accounted for 35 percent of the shares in it. This belongings will be counted on San'er Fangsi in the future, otherwise Fisher would not have worked so hard to help.

The fact that the Americans are moving so fast shows that the United States urgently needs China as an ally.
