Chapter 225 Q41

Compared with the powerful surface ship force of the city, the submarine and anti-submarine forces of the city are much worse. It is impossible to win a naval battle by submarines, but for an island country like Yuben, everything has to be transported back from outside, and there is no safe sea route, which is really fatal. There have been more than 10 consecutive incidents of merchant ships being sunk, and the cumulative tonnage sunk is close to 500,000 tons. It is said that those chaebols are already going crazy, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will really go crazy.

It is said that the navy can do before the final plan is issued is to send destroyers and light cruisers as much as possible to strike at the submarines. However, the anti-submarine capability of the Navy is really bad, and it can make do with intimidating submarines during the day, but at night they have nothing to do, and submarines can attack unscrupulously. Now that the ship has implemented comprehensive light control, the route taken has changed back and forth, and it does not dare to take the normal route at all, but has changed to the North Pacific Ocean, which is windy and turbulent.

This factor of insecurity is not only a natural factor, but also an impending factor of thought – the Sino-US Joint Task Force. Although the Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, it lost all the main warships, and the strength of other warships was still there. In view of this, the Chinese Navy proposed to form a joint task force to concentrate the treaty patrols of the two countries, and use the speed advantage to move around the sea and focus on attacking the sea transportation lines. In other words, even if the merchant ship made a detour, the Chinese Navy did not intend to let it go

The United States readily agreed to this request and dispatched two Pensacla-class heavy cruisers, two Portland-class heavy cruisers, and four China's Pearl River-class heavy cruisers to take turns in the North Pacific with Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as their foothold. As for the route from the Philippines to the Ryukyus, with the Chinese Navy's submarines watching, the United States will not mix, and it is said that the United States is still having a headache for German submarines. The heavy cruisers of both countries are treaty ships, characterized by high speeds, a range of more than 10,000 nautical miles, and a caliber of 203 main guns.

With such a fleet, the North Pacific route will soon be not very peaceful.

Of course, at the beginning of the war, it was the air force and submarines that played the leading role. The Chinese Air Force's strategic bombing of Yuben is destined to be a long-term act, and the first sneak attack during the day was fruitful, and the next time it will not be so good. Soon after, the Air Force received an order from the General Staff Headquarters to change the bombing of the bombing to the night so that the altitude could be appropriately lowered to increase the hit rate of the bombing.

With regard to this order, the General Staff stressed that it was the president's will, and the air force could only resolutely obey it, and no one who questioned it would question the president's correct surname. In fact, Fang Jianxiong suddenly thought of it, in history, it seems that the United States did not have a good effect on the high-altitude bombing of Yuben at the beginning, and then Li Mei and this guy carried out night bombing, and after lowering the altitude, it really blew up and howled wolf. Now that we know history, there is no need to repeat mistakes. So the bombing of the Air Force was changed to night, and there was also training for surnames before, and the bomber units were no strangers to this.

After the last bombing, the Air Force quickly summed up its experience and concluded that for the bombers, the fighters of Yuben did not pose much of a threat, and the biggest threat came from ground artillery fire, so night bombing was feasible. Well, even though the president has always been correct, everyone has carefully conducted scientific analysis and research on this matter, so as to make the president's theory more complete and convincing. In fact, even if it is wrong, it is estimated that the Air Force will be able to find the right place and magnify it infinitely. Who made the Air Force known as the "pro-son" saying of the president. Which appropriations and treasury bond sales didn't come first with the Air Force?

On the day of the end of the Tashkent Campaign, the Air Force again launched a large-scale air raid, and 800 **-17 bombers and 190 **-29 bombers that took off from the two air bases in Qingdao and Lushun flew over the Yueben Islands at 10:33 p.m., and the target of this bombing was Nagoya, which is where the manufacturing center of the Yueben aircraft is located.

The flapping anti-aircraft guns decorate the sky with a spectacular spectacle of meteors, which is not fun at all for bombers. Descended to a height of 5,000 feet, dropping 3,000 tons of napalm. The aircraft manufacturing center was burned to the ground in this air raid, causing more than 30,000 casualties, and the Chinese Air Force shot down 16 **-17 bombers, wounded 33, and other planes returned safely.

For the Ben, this kind of bombing is an unsolvable problem, the distance between China and China is too close, the **-29 that took off from Qingdao and Lushun, carrying eight tons of napalm at a time, is not a matter of flying back and forth. **-17 is a little worse, with a four-ton napalm, it is also a fatal thing to throw it down.

What's worse is that this kind of bombing is continuous, three days after the Nagoya bombing, the shipbuilding center in Kobe was patronized by 300 **-29 bombers, which still left a fire in a mess, killing and wounding countless people. And on this day, Tokyo also had a false alarm, three **-17 dropped countless leaflets, and officially informed me that next time we want to bomb Tokyo, everyone should prepare in advance.

The power of this leaflet was amazing, and the next day 100,000 people fled Tokyo with their families in tow, and the casualties caused by the last bombing of Tokyo were so miserable that I could have nightmares when I slept. The act of dropping leaflets was shamelessly treated as benevolent by the Chinese media!

Three days after the leaflet was dropped, bombers flew over Yomoto again, but this time it was not Tokyo that was bombed, but Kobe, and the consequence of this bombing was that 350,000 people were homeless and more than 23,000 people died in the bombing.

Ben is crazy! "If we don't take the initiative to attack, I will die, what about our navy? And what about our Air Force? And what about our Army? The huge amount of national money consumed every year in exchange for these casualties and property damage figures? The well-known newspaper "Chao Yue Shimbun" published such a comment on its headlines, vigorously criticizing the army's inaction.

While the whole public resentment was boiling, the military department and the admiralty were blocked and scolded by angry citizens every day.

The bombing caused a great deal of panic on the four islands of Moto, with nearly a million people fleeing the city in Tokyo alone. And this is just the beginning in my opinion. In the following week, not a single bomber came, which puzzled him. Why didn't it blow up? It's not scientific!

In fact, at this time, the Chinese Air Force was busy receiving **-29 bombers aided by the United States, and Huabo's annual output was only 1,000 **-17 and 300**-29, and after the production of **-17 was stopped, the annual production of **-29 was only 500. After several air raids, the losses of the air force were not small, and the napalm was exhausted, and the bombing could only be temporarily stopped.

The first phase of the United States' aid to China has really increased its transportation efforts in recent times, and 500 **-29 bombers all flew to Yangon in half a month, and then the Chinese Air Force took over and flew to Qingdao and Lushun. The United States also shipped 10,000 tons of napalm to Yangon, which was urgently needed by China, and the powerful productive forces of the US imperialists were fully reflected, and this 10,000 tons of napalm was almost a year's output of China, and the factories of the US imperialists completed it in only one month after receiving the order. Of course, the main reason why it can be produced so quickly is that the orders were submitted by the squadron half a year ago. At that time, China had not yet declared war on China, and Fisher had a considerable stake in the enterprises that produced napalm.

The war has made the military industry of the United States develop by leaps and bounds, a large number of new production lines have been launched, a large number of new docks have been completed, and Detroit's automobile companies have received orders for 300,000 trucks from China before the outbreak of World War II, because of these orders, the American automobile industry has been developing rapidly. Well, Fang someone's youngest son's belongings are also getting thicker and thicker because of these orders. However, now the shares of these enterprises belong to Fang someone, and the profits obtained every year are consumed by Fang Jianxiong in the form of purchasing Chinese government bonds. Over the past 20 years, China's political axe has issued 3 billion yuan of treasury bonds in the United States, more than half of which are locked in Fang Jianxiong's safe. Many times, Fang Jianxiong is thinking about whether to burn these treasury bonds before he dies? In the end, Fang Jianxiong still decided to hold a ceremony before the next general election to return the national debt to the country. Since he is already the "Fang Sage" in folklore, let's continue to play this role.

Two weeks after the declaration of war on the war, a fleet of four treaty heavy cruisers, including the Zhujiang, Minjiang, Ganjiang, and Xin'anjiang, quietly left the port of Keelung in Taiwan and sailed into the vast sea. The task of this fleet is very clear: sail to Hawaii, and after the return to the United States, form a joint task force to attack the newly opened North Pacific route in turn.

These sorties were urgently equipped with new radars, which were able to detect targets at sea from a distance of 50 kilometers. Because the country attaches importance to it and started earlier, China's radar technology and sonar technology are temporarily ahead of the world. However, there is nothing to be proud of, there are not many things that can be taken by Chinese science and technology, and the technology that really makes President Fang Da look forward to is still brewing in the depths of a desert in Xinjiang Province.

In the first three months of 1941, there was no good news for the Soviet Union, but there was not much bad news either. Tashkent, which hangs alone, does not count, it has long been abandoned anyway. What puzzled the bearded man was that even if China declared war on Germany, the mustache did not seem to have any intention of forming an alliance with the Soviet Union, and the two sides only carried out in-depth cooperation on some military and economic issues.

In fact, the mustache also did not understand, obviously beaten like a dog by the Chinese, why did Comrade Joseph not take the initiative to find an alliance with Germany? We can flank Britain and the United States in the Middle East. Both sides wanted to take the initiative, but they were holding back and waiting for the other to speak first.

In fact, Joseph did not see much of the future of Hou Xiaomu, which is also the reason why he did not make up his mind for a long time, although the cooperation between the two countries was very close, and the Germans transferred advanced fighter technology, radar technology, and tank technology to a certain extent, and obtained the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. The problem was that the naval strength of the Soviet Union was just like that, and Hitler intended to rely on the Black Sea Fleet and the French fleet to solve the problem of landing in Britain, and with the early entry of American imperialism into the war, this matter was also yellow. Now these warships are in the process of ensuring the route to Africa, and Libya has really pumped out oil, which makes the mustache wake up with a smile several times from sleep.

A mustache with plenty of oil and a mustache without oil are two different concepts, and Germany in parallel history was not an ordinary hardship because of energy constraints. Now Hitler dared to pat his chest and say, with a hundred more panzer divisions, I would be able to come up with enough oil. As for the little bit of oil in Romania, Hitler had long since lost sight of it, and he did not send troops to fight Romania, and Hitler was not interested in fighting the Balkans now. Instead, they sent troops to occupy Greece and block the exit to the Mediterranean Sea with Italy.

The whole world has been in chaos, and the two camps are all thinking about how to kill each other, and all kinds of bad tricks can be used as long as they are effective. The British and Americans, who were forced by German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean with wolf pack tactics, almost did not resist, and before the first quarter of 41 years had passed, they had already sunk a million-ton merchant ship. Churchill's already modest hair was about to fall out, and his forehead was getting brighter and brighter. Roosevelt's blood pressure also increased, and the Chinese's procrastination on the transfer of sonar technology made Roosevelt want to shoot out the bastard surnamed Fang "**".

On land, the main battlefield of Britain and the United States is now Africa, and after Rommel crossed the Egyptian border, he collided with the American army. Compared with the skills of war, the American imperialists were much worse, and Rommel ate three infantry divisions and one armored division in one shot, if it weren't for the fact that there were enough backups to block Rommel's army, Rommel would have marched to Alexandria with a song.

Rommel suffers from his logistical problems and a pig teammate Italy who is dragging his feet. Every time I counted on Italy to make a difference, I was infinitely disappointed every time. Now the entire Italian Afrika Korps has been directly abandoned by Rommel, and the Italian Legion is in charge of logistics and taking care of prisoners of war or something. Even with this kind of work, Italians often go awry. It is not good to be a soldier in war, and he is very good at using the opportunity of managing logistics to make oil and water.

It's been almost a month, Rommel has only advanced three hundred kilometers, and the fuel supply and ammunition of the armored forces can't keep up, so they can only stop and wait. On the other hand, on the side of US imperialism, although the skills of fighting a war have not yet been trained, there is absolutely no problem with logistics, not to mention, but the troops grow a little bit every time they fight. During the fighting on the border between Egypt and Libya, Patton commanded his 2nd Panzer Division, which inflicted heavy losses on Rommel's 15th Panzer Division. This also directly led to the considerable losses of the armored forces of both sides. For the United States, the losses of tanks were replenished quickly, and for Rommel it was not so fast. German submarines were rampant in the Atlantic, and British and American warships and aircraft carriers were also vegetarians. The German Navy's main focus is now not on the Sea Lion program, but on maintaining the replenishment and supply of the Afrika Korps. The battle between the two sides at sea was also extremely fierce, and at this time, the ace of the German Navy appeared two months earlier than in history.

First taking the northward course and then the northwest, they successfully crossed the Norwegian Sea and headed towards Greenland to the Danish Strait between Iceland and Greenland, the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the close proximity of the fleet's course to the Arctic Circle, British aviation reconnaissance did not detect the Germans. Since the main target of the Germans was the convoy, Lütjans hoped to quietly break into the Atlantic with the help of a dense fog.

Unlike parallel history, because the German Navy temporarily changed the code on a whim, the Bismarck was undetected and rushed headlong into the Atlantic. This can be regarded as pushing Britain into a corner, and the entire Atlantic route is under the threat of such battleships.

The bad luck of Britain continued, and as soon as the Bismarck entered the Atlantic, it was confronted by a British merchant fleet, a whole fifteen freighters, hoisting the white flag under the huge guns of the Bismarck and the heavy patrol Prinz Eugen, and then the personnel boarded the dinghy and went home on their own initiative. The Bismarck was not even willing to waste shells, and the work of sinking these merchant ships was done by the Prinz Eugen with torpedoes.

At this time, Britain and the United States could not take care of any African routes, so they hurriedly mobilized a force that could be mobilized, and the United States dispatched two aircraft carriers, and all the big guys of the British Navy were on board.

At the moment when the world was in chaos, Poland's political axe made a "small request" to China, asking the Chinese political axe to recognize the legitimate surname of the Polish political axe in London.

I don't know if it's because of forgetfulness, while declaring war on Germany and Italy, the Chinese political axe recognized de Gaulle's "**France" but did not mention the Polish **political axe. So the Polish political axe thinks that China has forgotten it, let's remind you. Anyway, everyone is in the same camp now, and maybe they can get some help or something after admitting it.

British Ambassador Johnson found Wang Chonghui when he received this task, which is not a big matter, but there is no trivial matter related to national diplomacy. Wang Chonghui hurriedly went to report to President Fang Da.

Fang Jianxiong's face was ugly when he heard this, Poland is really a country that lacks any good feelings. First of all, let's talk about the senses, the life of the young lady's body, the life of the maid, was enslaved before the First World War, and it was not easy to read, but Nima took the initiative to find something to fight the Soviet Union, which made people fat and beaten up and was not honest. In this time and space, China and Poland did not have any big grievances, but at the Paris Peace Conference in parallel history, Poland was the first country to jump out to support Yuben to take over Germany's interests in Shandong. President Fangda, who knows history, has not forgotten this matter, so when he declared war last time, he deliberately did not mention Poland.

The things of the two planes are mixed together, President Fang Da is very grudgeful, and the hatred of the previous time and space continues to this time and space.

Ignoring him, he said that China did not know that there was a country in the world, Poland. A political axe that plays soy sauce, and still wants China to recognize it, is it still worried about some aid? The strength of this country is not good, the toss is not small, and it was destroyed by the Soviet Union and Germany in partnership, and it was all self-inflicted. Fang Jianxiong said an angry word, Wang Chonghui couldn't cry or laugh a little, this is too child's play, right?

"President, you're not so diplomatic." This is a bit straightforward, mainly because Wang Chonghui thinks that the matter is not big and can be used as a strong order. President Fang Da smacked his lips again and again, and finally said: "You go to find an excuse, whatever you say, anyway, China will not recognize Poland's ** political axe now, and will not give Poland ** political axe a penny of aid." ”

Wang Chonghui smiled helplessly, and still decided to give President Fang: "President, I don't know where the country of Poland offended you, but I still recommend that it be better to recognize Poland's political axe." As for the aid, just send a few melons and two dates. Now, after all, it was fighting against Germany in one camp. ”

Fang Jianxiong thought of the Katyn tragedy, but unfortunately there was no clear evidence in hand, otherwise this matter could fool some Polish scientists. What Wang Chonghui said was reasonable, Fang Jianxiong thought for a while: "Then admit it." ”

In the face of national interests, private feelings still made concessions.

U.S. Ambassador Hurley came to the door again, and after meeting President Fang Da, he implicitly expressed the U.S. political axe's resolute support for China's move to blow up the Stone Age. If it weren't for the fact that Hawaii was too far away for the US imperialists' planes to pass, the US imperialists themselves would have wanted to bomb them to relieve their hatred.

Later, Hurley said that the U.S. Navy would not be able to fight in the short term, and hoped that the Chinese side would understand, and at the same time hoped that China would complete the transfer of sonar technology and radar technology as much as possible. Hurley also couldn't figure out how the Chinese were willing to invest huge financial resources in these relatively isolated science and technology to develop one step ahead of others.

Especially for shipborne radars, the radars of the Chinese are not only smaller, but also have a detection range of 20 kilometers farther than those produced in the United States. Not to mention sonar technology, the United States is still in a relatively early stage, otherwise there is no good way to take German submarines?

Fang Jian's ambition said that it was better for the US imperialists not to come to the South Pacific, and that it would be better for everyone to have half of the Pacific Ocean in the future, and that the US imperialists would definitely not agree to it if they wanted to treat it as an inland lake. Fang Jianxiong pretended to say that he would urge the transfer of relevant technology, and sent people away. From the bottom of his heart, Fang Jianxiong was full of vigilance against the United States, especially the fact that the United States did not declare war on the Soviet Union, which made Fang Jianxiong even more angry. Du Nima is an ally, and he still thinks about this and that. From a rational point of view, the United States does not declare war on the Soviet Union, which is indeed beneficial to the interests of its allies, but it is not conducive to China's interests.

Sent away Hurley, Fang Jianxiong saw Zhao Yi who came in a hurry, Zhao Yi brought a very important piece of information, said that the army's battle plan came out, launched an attack from the direction of North Korea, and attacked the northeast of China's heavy industrial base. In order to achieve this strategic goal, the army is constantly increasing its troops in Korea, and for fear of being discovered, it chooses to set off in the late afternoon and arrive in Korea after dark. In order to cooperate with this plan, the navy is planning to blockade the Bohai Bay with mines. It is said that the navy really does not have the strength to penetrate the Bohai Bay now, so it can only blockade it. (To be continued.) )
