Chapter 250: Sad John Bull

In October 1939, after Britain and France declared war on the Soviet Union, Germany and China, the British soon found themselves a "beef feast" that everyone on the table wanted to eat

The British allies in Asia, through guò "commercial means", quietly cheated them.

In order to trap the British to death, Li Huamei borrowed the hand of Japan and maliciously placed a large number of orders in the United States as early as the end of June 1939, and most of the goods on the orders were not urgently needed by the Japanese. In order to prevent the Americans from defaulting, these orders were preceded by a large amount of breach clauses.

These orders take up a lot of U.S. capacity. Many of the orders were air-to-air orders placed by the Japanese side in direct collusion with the American capitalists, with the aim of getting more money from the British. In order to squeeze more profits out of the British, the American capitalists have become smart at this point, and when the British wave money to buy commodities in the United States, the most common reply they encounter is: Sorry, these things have already been ordered in advance by your ally, the Japanese.

The reason of the Japanese is high-sounding: this is to deal with the evil Red China and the Soviet Union. In order to get these orders, the British government had to "negotiate" with the "allies" of the Japanese, and only after paying more costs did they get their hands on them. In the process, the Japanese acquired a lot of technology that had been coveted for a long time from the British, and those American capitalists who colluded with the Japanese to play air-to-air tricks and speculate on prices also shared a lot of dividends with Japan afterwards.

Compared to being silently blackened by the allies, the Japanese, the negotiations between Churchill and Cactus Ghana can be described as "robbed".

United States of America. This former "little cousin" of Britain has now grown into a behemoth, openly brandishing a cattle-killing knife and preparing to cut the flesh of Britain fiercely.

On December 23, at the presidential palace in the White House in Washington, Ghana and Prime Minister Winston Churchill discussed the problems of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and the Caribbean.

"Your Excellency, your request is to destroy the British Empire!"

(I didn't make up this plot out of thin air, but a real allusion from the meeting between Churchill and Roosevelt that I saw in World War II.)

The current British Empire though wolf bèi. But now it's only 1939. The Anglo-French forces were still able to form a balance of power with Germany on land. Even in the Atlantic, the British Royal Navy was at a disadvantage only because it was inferior to its opponents, and although it was wolf, the Anglo-German navy had to fight hard. The British Navy still had the absolute upper hand.

Ordinary people are still obsessed with the power of big ships and cannons. But there was a first-hand experience of the Royal Navy. The important role of naval aviation in naval warfare has been realized, and in terms of the number and quality of aircraft carriers, the German Navy is currently in the upper hand. This is precisely the biggest headache for the British.

Before coming to the United States, people within the Royal Navy came up with the idea of converting several high-speed cruise ships in the country into aircraft carriers, and then joining battleship formations for use.

Ordinary people are still obsessed with the power of large ships and huge guns, but the Royal Navy, which has experienced it firsthand, has realized the important role of naval aviation in naval warfare, and in terms of the quantity and quality of aircraft carriers, the German Navy is currently in the upper hand, which is precisely the biggest headache for the British.

So far, this action plan is still being prepared. Like the returning German Navy, the British Navy had spent too much time playing hide-and-seek at sea with the German fleet for more than a month. In the process of chasing down the opponent's attacking fleet, that old "relic of the First World War" did what it was doing at full power for too long.

For those "old ships" that are more than twenty years old, their fragile "hearts" (power systems) and bodies, after returning home. They also had to face the problem of maintenance and overhaul, so the British also had to calm down and wait

Wait until the warship is maintained.

In addition, another fatal factor for the British to seize Norway was that the Royal Navy now lacked air supremacy.

After the Battle of Norwegian, the Royal Navy lost three aircraft carriers, including the newest HMS Ark Royal. The aircraft carrier Athletic God, which survived, was seriously injured and is now being repaired overnight in the dockyard, and it is impossible to participate in the battle in a short time. The Royal Navy calculated that there was only one aircraft carrier left in the Mediterranean, the Eagle aircraft carrier. In order to capture Norway without fail, Churchill had ordered the Eagle aircraft carrier to be redeployed from the Mediterranean, but one old aircraft carrier had to fight against two new combat carriers. The British government has a great headache when it comes to thinking about this problem.

Battle of Norway. The topic of the world's greatest attention was the night battle, in which the German navy easily inflicted heavy damage on the British fast fleet thanks to its excellent night shelling skills. And another hot spot, the aircraft carrier battle that took place on December 2. But it has been overlooked by many people.

Groups of German attack aircraft that took off from Zeppelin and Seydlitz at that time. Easily break into the skies over the British fleet, which is protected by the Grand Fleet. Dropped a bomber and torpedo, sinking two glorious and brave aircraft carriers, and damaging the Athletic God. The important role of aircraft carriers in naval warfare has once again been revealed.

The idea was quickly approved, and the British Navy has now sent several cruise ships to the dockyard for renovations.

"Your Excellency, your request is to destroy the British Empire!"

(I didn't make up this plot out of thin air, but a real allusion from the meeting between Churchill and Roosevelt that I saw in World War II.)

Although the current British Empire is wolf, it is only 1939, and the Anglo-French forces are still on land and can still form a balance of power with Germany. Even in the Atlantic, the British Royal Navy was at a disadvantage only because it was inferior to its opponents, and although the British and German navies were to fight hard, the British Navy would still have the absolute upper hand.

In this context, the President of Ghana and Churchill spoke on these topics. It seems that there is a can't wait. In Churchill's view, the president of Ghana simply treated the current "world's first empire" as a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and it was too ugly to eat.

In the eyes of the Americans, the dispatch of the navy to escort the British fleet now faces not only under the water, but also on the surface. That's why the lion dared to open his mouth and ask for a price.

But in Churchill's view, the issue of the US Navy's escort of the Atlantic convoy is not very "anxious" at the moment. Every sortie of a large warship, especially after a long period of foreign warfare. After returning to port, they will enter the dock for maintenance. Replace the parts and components that are severely worn, and replace the boiler pipes that are coking and scaling. The Norwegian naval battle had just ended, and even the two ships of Shane, which had the possession of the spirit of the ship, were now in the German dockyard for maintenance, and it was impossible to dispatch them in the short term.

And not just warships. The sailors on the ship experienced such a long bump. It also takes time to recuperate and regain energy. So at least until January 1940. Atlantic shipping will not be threatened by German surface ships for the time being, and the Royal Navy will only have to deal with Dönitz's "sea wolves" for the time being.

On the issue of the US Navy escorting the British fleet. So there's still something to talk about. In Churchill's mind, after the defeat in the Norwegian Sea, the British government is currently planning a big battle plan, that is, to dispatch the navy and army to blitz Northern Europe and take Norway.

As long as Norway was taken, relying on its geographical advantage, the German navy's passage to the Atlantic Ocean through the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea was blocked.

So far, this action plan is still being prepared. Like the returning German Navy, the British Navy had spent too much time playing hide-and-seek at sea with the German fleet for more than a month. In the process of chasing down the opponent's attacking fleet, that old "relic of the First World War" did what it was doing at full power for too long.

The Norwegian naval battle, the world's most concerned topic was the night battle, the German navy with excellent night artillery skills, easily heavy damage to the British fast fleet. Another hot spot, the aircraft carrier battle that took place on December 2, has been overlooked by many.
