"Haha! Could this Hitler be trying to learn from the Japanese and make a sneak attack on Scapa Bay? Listening to Long Tenghui's words, Yu Yanshou laughed loudly: "Now the German aircraft carrier force is not weak." They already have four heavy aircraft carriers, the Count Zeppelin with a displacement of 20,000 tons and the Peter Strasser with a displacement of 2

12,000 tons of Seydlitz, 40,000 tons of displacement Frederick the Great. Among them 40 aircraft of the Zeppelin and Strasser, 18 Junkers Ju87 Stuka and 22 BF-109. The Seydlitz can carry 48 aircraft, 24 each of the JU87 and the BF-109. Frederick the Great can carry 100 aircraft, of which 60 are JU87s and 40 are BF-109s. In addition, the Germans will move tankers, and the European, Elbe and Gnexenau will be converted into aircraft carriers, of which the Elbe has already been completed. The aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of almost 27,000 tons, and the number of carrier-based aircraft is the same as that of the Seydlitz, which is 48 aircraft. The aircraft carrier is also currently undergoing sea trials, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it can join the high seas fleet. ”

"Five aircraft carriers, 276 carrier-based aircraft." Long Tenghui snapped his fingers and shook his head, "The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor by surprise, and nearly 600 carrier-based aircraft on seven aircraft carriers were available!" And the sneak attack was successful when the Yankees were paralyzed and careless. And the British have been on guard against us for a long time, and now they have declared war, and it is estimated that they are guarding against us in the spirit of 120,000 points.

I'm afraid we won't succeed if we want to sneak attack. "Huh! If you don't sneak attack, even if you put it out and fight, we will have a big chance of winning. Yu Yanshou shook his hand indifferently and said confidently: "Together with the Germans, we have six 40,000-ton battleships and five aircraft carriers. According to intelligence, the British home fleet now consisted of sixteen battleships or battle cruisers, though most of them were old goods from the First World War. With the exception of the battlecruiser Hood, the battleship Nelson, and the battleship Rodney, there was not much of a threat to our six Zhenyuan-class. And their aircraft carriers are even inferior, although there are six aircraft carriers, but there are only more than 250 carrier-based aircraft on them. As for the carrier-based aircraft of the British, they are far inferior to the German JU87 and BF-109, so once the war starts, the air supremacy is completely on our side. Moreover, the place of our battle with the British fleet should be within the combat radius of the Luftwaffe, so there will be more air force planes to help in the battle, so we are sure of this battle! While speaking, Long Tenghui and Yu Yanshou had boarded the huge Zhenyuan battleship surrounded by a group of senior officers of the expeditionary fleet. In the large conference room, a nautical chart of the Beihai region was already hanging high, and Colonel Chiang Ching-kuo, deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary fleet, who had arrived with Long Tenghui, took a teaching whip and walked to the edge of the map.

Seeing that everyone had already done it in turn, Chiang Ching-kuo began to introduce: "According to the order issued by the General Staff and the Admiralty, our expeditionary fleet will temporarily accept the command of the German Imperial High Seas Fleet and fight side by side with them. Now announce the order of the commander of the German Reich High Seas Fleet, Admiral Raeder. Speaking of this, Xiao Jiang paused, then accentuated his tone, and said loudly: "The battleship Zhenyuan, the battleship Dingyuan, and the battleship Ningyuan are included in the battleship detachment of the High Seas Fleet, and they are under the unified command of the commander of the detachment, Admiral Lu Shiyan, and are ready to attack at any time!"

The rest of the ships of the expeditionary fleet were all rowed... The aircraft carrier detachment of the High Seas Fleet ......" ............... and this naval combat plan is an integral part of the "Wiesel exercise." The plan was divided into two main parts: first, to attack and occupy Denmark and Norway in order to prevent Britain and France from occupying Norway first, thereby cutting off the German Empire's road to import iron ore from Sweden. And the main task of the German High Seas Fleet (including the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet) in this part was to cooperate with the German Army and Air Force in seizing the port of Oslo.

2. Destroy or repel the invading British and French fleets, and the primary target is the home fleet of the British Royal Navy! Aim to sink at least 5 British battleships or battlecruisers, and at least 2 British aircraft carriers to weaken British supremacy at sea. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure the partial naval supremacy of the German army in the North Sea region. The High Seas Fleet would assume the main responsibility in the second part, while the Luftwaffe would do its best to cooperate with the German Navy on Führer Hitler's orders. "On November 9, 1938, in Tianjin, the largest commercial city in northern China, an army wearing a blue-gray military uniform with a red five-pointed star inlaid on a large-brimmed hat suddenly appeared, and the front of the team was waving the bright red GCD party flag and the Red Army flag! Such marching processions poured out from the Tianjin railway station, and a train full of officers and men in the same clothes was roaring from the northwest. In the Tianjin Railway Station and on the main streets of Tianjin City, there are still many Chinese national defense officers and soldiers who are loaded with guns and ammunition, and these national defense soldiers are also on guard at the moment, staring at the marching army in front of them. The steel gun in his hand was also held tightly. It seems that they are always on the lookout for what revolutionary action the troops of the GCD revolutionary army, which at a glance know to be the GCD revolutionary army, suddenly take against Tianjin, the largest bastion of the northern bourgeoisie!

These troops transferred from the northwest one after another are the southbound corps sent by China G, but now they have a more resounding name - GC International South Runner-up Army! It is said that these people are all real GC fighters, and they all participated in a three-month special training before going out on the expedition, and they have greatly improved their ideology and military skills, and they should be fully able to undertake the great mission of liberating the people of South Asia.

The GC International Oriental Bureau has clearly done its best to liberate the people of South Asia. Medium g

The Chinese border guards under his leadership are now only a few shelf troops, and almost all the elites have been transferred to the GC International South Asian Army. How much does this army total 150,000 people! At the same time, the logistics department of the border guards also loaded almost all the materials stored in their hands, including artillery, machine rifles, ammunition, military uniforms, etc., into trucks and transported them to Tianjin. In addition, the Zhongg, which was originally lurking in Tianjin

The underground personnel also came out overnight, taking the colorful fiat currency and the approval of the Ministry of Armaments of the Nationalist Government to go around procuring medicines for the treatment of various tropical infectious diseases and various items suitable for tropical warfare.

It can be said that for this expedition, the International Oriental Bureau of the China C and GC factories has already done everything they have, and if at this time, the Kuomintang comes to a treachery, the consequences are really unimaginable! So at this moment, the top and bottom of the GC International South Asian Army, including Commander-in-Chief Ye Ting, General Political Commissar Xiang Ying and Chief of Staff Liu Bcheng, are also hanging with a heart. But what's the use of being scared? You must know that according to the marching route arranged by the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, they will be transported by the Wehrmacht Navy, go south by sea to Hainan Island and concentrate, and then wait for the opportunity to attack India! You must know that 150,000 people are on the ship, what evil intentions does that fascist leader Luo Yaoguo have, they don't even have room to resist!

Thinking of this, Comrade BMG sat in a car presented by the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce and had the same nightmare every night, in which he was the commander of an army led by the Central G, stationed in the south of the Yangtze River to resist the Japanese, but turned out to be a victim of the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party............... the Kuomintang reactionaries in the dream were really bad!

"There must be a conspiracy!" Zhou Elai smiled bitterly, looked at the armed defense officers and soldiers outside the car window and shook his head gently. said with a wry smile: "But this Luo Yaoguo is very insidious, he will not openly tear his face and fight a civil war with us." So you don't have to worry about them on the road, what you really have to worry about is after entering India. "Will the Kuomintang deal with us in India?" Ye Ting was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said with a smile: "When we arrive in India, our army will be out of the control of the Kuomintang, and the people at the bottom of India are deeply oppressed by British imperialism and the feudal ruling class of their own nation. Zhou Elai's thick eyebrows were tightly twisted, as if he was full of worries about the battle in India. I have already had in-depth discussions with Comrade Lu Yi on issues such as religious conflicts, castes, and traditional forces such as princely states in India. He shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as we imagined, Indians, especially Hindus, are very poisonous with Hinduism, and they are more resigned to their own situation than to rebel. In addition, I'm still worried about ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Elai suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "I'm still worried about Stalin!" "Lin" Stalin!? Ye Ting was stunned and stunned, he couldn't understand why Zhou Elai suddenly talked about this traitor and sinner of GCISM?

"Yes! That's him. His hundreds of thousands of troops have now been defeated by the Wehrmacht and the White Russian army, and for the sake of Huang Laizi's respite for a while, he has ordered his troops to invade Persia! "What Zhou said happened on November 7, almost at the same time as Pearl Harbor, but it didn't attract much attention. It took only a few hours for Zhukov's army to crush the Iranian army stationed on Iran's northern border, and it is now marching on Tabriz, an important city in northern Iran.

"Brother E, it means ......" Ye Ting frowned, expressing puzzlement.

"I fear that the Wehrmacht will follow the Soviets in their invasion of Persia and then push the Soviets into Afghanistan and Pakistan and Punjab. Then we would inevitably have to clash with the Soviets in India. "Zhou E

came to the gloom on his face and said the hidden worries in his heart.

After the two of them talked, the car had already driven into the southward marching corps (GC International Army) of Yang Liuqing in Tianjin

General Headquarters. As soon as they got out of the car, the two found a new Buick car parked in the yard, with two small Star-Spangled flags on it...... It looked like some American diplomat had visited.

At this time, an officer wearing a straight U.S. military uniform hurriedly walked out of the meeting room of the headquarters, and Zhou Elai recognized it at a glance as the U.S. Embassy military attache named Stilwell, who was also an old friend of Zhongg, and had been to Moscow with Zhou Elai.

"Mr. Zhou, it's such a pleasure to meet you in Tianjin!" Before Zhou Elai could react, Stilwell greeted him with a smile on his face, and gave Chairman Zhou a bear hug, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your army to actually drive to Tianjin, it won't be the Kuomintang that will give up the treasure land of Tianjin to you to manage Zhongg, right?" "Zhou Elai's impression of this beautiful diplomat seems to be good, and the original gloom on his face has long been replaced by a faint smile." Mr. Stilwell, to take your good words, it is only a matter of time before our party enters Tianjin. At present, our party is ready to further promote China's democratic process, and will also form a campaign alliance with the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang to participate in the elections for the Guangdong Provincial Assembly, county mayors, and governors to be held early next year. At the end of Tianjin's period of political discipline, our party will certainly participate in the election of Tianjin mayor and councillors. "Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Stilwell's face: "So, speaking of which, the democratic process of the Kuomintang is sincere?" Didn't you say not long ago that the presidential election at the end of the year was unfair? Zhou Elai smiled, took Stilwell's hand and walked towards the living room, saying as he walked: "Of course, the presidential election in the mouth month is not fair. Because this presidential election is not directly elected by the people, but by the members of Congress. But most of these members of Congress were appointed by the Kuomintang, Mr. Stilwell, do you think such an election is fair? When he came to the meeting room of the headquarters, several people sat down separately, and Ye Ting ordered the orderly soldiers to bring good green tea. Then Zhou Elai and Stilwell exchanged words and phrases for a while, but the topic did not touch on China's democratic process. In fact, through Zhou E's words just now, Stilwell has already figured out the intentions of Zhongg. They seem to have given up on their intention to seize power through revolutionary war in favour of parliamentary democracy...... Of course, this does not mean that the Chinese and the G will hand over the armed forces to realize the nationalization of the armed forces in accordance with the requirements of the Nationalist Government.

Just look at the G army that has been pouring out of Tianjin Railway Station in the past few days. Medium g

The army he leads will be used in the Far Eastern Republic, the South Seas, India, etc. In this way, they were able to maintain their armed forces and participate in the national process in their own country, which was indeed a good strategy for advancing and retreating. However, Stilwell seems to be a little unhappy with this result. After a moment of greeting, he changed his conversation and cut to the point.

"Mr. Zhou, then, do China and G really believe that China's democratic process can not be deviated without relying on strong armed forces? Now the Kuomintang still controls 600 de facto With such a force in hand, Marshal Luo Yaoguo can completely implement dictatorship after the war! There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. With his current martial arts, if he seizes Nanyang and Australia again, let alone be a dictator in the future, he will openly ascend the throne and become an emperor, but it will not be too difficult, right? Of course, Zhou Elai heard what the other party said, and hurriedly asked: What does Mr. Yang Diwei mean?" Stilwell said in a deep voice: "According to the experience of the democratic process in various countries in the world, it is only possible to establish a real democratic system when the power of various political forces in the country is balanced. Now that the Chinese Kuomintang controls a powerful army of up to 6 million people, while your party has only a mere 200,000 troops, and the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee does not have a single soldier, it is impossible for the Kuomintang to share power with your party under such circumstances. Speaking of this, Stilwell paused and said solemnly: "But we, the United States, are very willing to see a peaceful and democratic and responsible China appear on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean." To this end, we are willing to provide all possible assistance to all China's democratic forces and form an alliance. ”

"Alliance?" Zhou E was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Stilwell.

"Yes, it's an alliance." Stilwell laughed: "But it is not an alliance between the United States of America and China, but an alliance between the United States and the Far Eastern Republics. "Against whom is this alliance directed?" Zhou Elai asked rhetorically.

"Japan, of course!" "As far as I know, Japan has always been hostile to the Far Eastern Republics, and has threatened the Far Eastern Republic with war more than once," Stilwell said. So it can be said that there is a common enemy between the United States and the Far Eastern Republics, and an alliance should be formed at all. ”

Of course, Zhou Elai knew that this matter was inappropriate, because once the Far Eastern Republic formed an alliance with the United States, I am afraid that it would immediately face the Japanese attack! And the Nationalist Government probably doesn't want an ally of the United States to have on its side, right? However, it does not seem appropriate to reject the United States, after all, the United States is the most powerful industrial country in the world, and an alliance with the United States will definitely get a lot of assistance from them, which is undoubtedly a shortcut to the development and growth of the weak China G.

Seeing Zhou Elai's hesitant look, Stilwell knew that an open alliance was unlikely, so he smiled and said, "Of course, there are many situations of alliances, both open and secret. Although China has always opposed clandestine diplomacy, it is possible to make an exception in the current special situation. The United States could form a secret alliance with the Far Eastern Republics, and only if the Far Eastern Republic could launch an attack on the Japanese forces entrenched in the Far East, the United States could provide all possible assistance, both in kind and in cash. "Cash?" Hearing these two words, Zhou Elai's eyes lit up. At present, in order to plan the southward expansion, it can be said that China G has gone bankrupt, and even the northern Shaanxi Energy Company, which has been operating for many years and finally started to make money, has also been sold out. In addition, he sold the industrial base in Baotou to Zhang Xueliang, one of China's leading capitalists (now that the Central G jurisdiction has entered the period of training and can take the capitalist road), in exchange for 50 million fiat currency in cash for the purchase of military supplies and the payment of settling-in allowances (for internationalist fighters).

"Yes!" Stilwell had already taken in the other party's fleeting surprise expression, nodded slightly, and said: "The Far Eastern Republic and the Republic of China are friends, if the Far East takes cash to purchase weapons and equipment from China, it should be no problem, right?" That way, even if the shipping lanes of the Far East and the United States are blocked by Japan, you will still be able to get a steady stream of logistical supplies. At the same time, you can also entrust China's domestic shipping companies to transport weapons and equipment from the United States to the port of Miaojie in the Far East, and Japan is expected not to intervene with the powerful force of the Republic of China. Zhou Elai nodded slightly, the method proposed by the United States is indeed very attractive. Moreover, the Americans only demanded that the Far Eastern Republic launch a war against the Japanese army in the Far East, and did not stipulate the scale of the war ..............., that is, China and G could completely fight a small-scale local war with Japan. As long as the Japanese are not pushed into a hurry, with 6 million Chinese defense forces behind them, presumably the Japanese will not dare to attack the Far Eastern Republic on a large scale. However, there is still a problem with cooperation with the United States, and that is the United Kingdom!

Thinking of this, Zhou E came to Ye Ting beside him and gave a look.

Ye Ting smiled and said, "Mr. Stilwell, you must also know the position you are holding now, right?" Stilwell naturally understood what the other party meant, he was silent for a moment, and his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Don't hide it from you, the U.S. government really doesn't want your party's troops to participate in the Kuomintang's aggressive and expansion activities.

However, this will not prevent the Far Eastern Republic from cooperating with the United States, since the Far Eastern Republic is a sovereign and independent state, not a vassal state or colony of China. In fact, Roosevelt hesitated for a long time after confirming the news, and finally decided to cooperate with China and G. In the view of the scheming American president, it was impossible for the British Empire to stop China's southward advance, and it was only a matter of time before India fell. And after the fall, if India is not controlled by the Chinese G, it will become a colony or vassal of China, which will be even more disadvantageous to the United States!

Zhou Elai sighed softly when he heard this, "... So, is our cooperation with the United States to be carried out under the brand of the Far Eastern Republic? Seeing Stilwell nodding, he continued: "As you must know, the main task of our party at present is to liberate the Indian people, so the heavy weapons of the GC International Far East Army have been deployed to the South Advance Army. So ......"

"The U.S. will help." Before Zhou E finished speaking, Stilwell promised: "As long as the Far Eastern Republic and the United States conclude a secret alliance, the United States can immediately provide 3,000."

$10,000 in low-interest loans, and Lend-Lease (the Lend-Lease Act has already been passed by the US Congress) a batch of American-style weapons and equipment to the Far East. ”！。
