"The main force of the Americans is finally here!" Chen Guan smiled with a sigh of relief.

Although the naval fleet of the Chinese expedition to Africa led by Chen Guan only encountered small-scale engagement and harassment between Britain and the United States along the way, the news of the mobilization and assembly of British and American warships was not concealed from China and constantly pressed China.

Originally, Meng Xiang was still a little strange why the Indian Ocean was so calm, but when he inquired about Yingmei's worries from the clone spies, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"It turns out that Britain and the United States are worried that once we encounter defeat, they will not be able to retreat, so they have nowhere to speak, and want to give us a trick to lure the enemy out. However, instead of showing weakness, they want to use this threat to force us to protect ourselves. Well, we'll do as they wish, and send more warships for a ride. Meng Xiang pushed the boat down the river and continued to expand the scale of the fleet on the expedition to Africa.

The Americans' lure was not only in the Indian Ocean, but also in the Pacific, weakening Hawaii's defenses under the pretext of mobilizing troops to rescue the Philippines.

It would be best to lure the Chinese army to attack Hawaii from a distance, but they were worried that China would not take the bait, and even Guam and other places were transferred to the Philippines.

Although Guam is not as ideal as long-distance Hawaii, it can also exceed the support range of China's extremely threatening land-based jet fighters, and there are the Northern Mariana Islands and the Japanese Navy's remnants stationed in the south, the Caroline Islands in the south, the Marshall Islands in the east and many other areas that can be ambushed, and the unsinkable aircraft carrier of the Philippines in the west can block the support of China, which is obviously also a good trap.

This trap is a little clumsy, but if Guam and other places fail, they will inevitably implicate other regions, and even use it to block most of the supply routes to the Philippines, and the Americans believe that Huaxia, which is eager to occupy the Philippines, will consider this, and perhaps Huaxia will be as greedy as the Japanese and will not want to miss such an opportunity.

The Americans, who thought they were secretly setting up an ambush in the surrounding area, did not expect that their actions had already been gathered on Meng Xiang's desk through clone spies and high-altitude airships and aircraft reconnaissance.

"If the Americans want to play with fire in reducing their own defenses, then we don't have to be polite." Without hesitation, Meng Xiang determined the attack plan to swallow the bait.

The spies on both sides have infiltrated each other, constantly handing over half-truths and half-truths, not to mention Skynet intelligence, which has been recognized by various countries. It's always been real money. When the Huaxia Navy was ready. The Americans, who were willing to spend money, also quickly got a report on Huaxia's actions.

After learning that the raiding fleet of three aircraft carriers and two battleships of the Huaxia Navy had set off for Guam, the Americans were also relieved, and after realizing that the Huaxia Navy had no more reinforcements to send, they immediately ordered the navy in the Indian Ocean to close the net.

At this time, under the deliberate indulgence of Britain and the United States, the Chinese army encountered only slight naval resistance and crossed the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Taking advantage of the situation, 120,000 troops were sent to East Africa one after another.

The more than 50,000 Allied troops in East Africa could not resist at all, except for relying on the familiarity of the terrain and retreating step by step.

Although the terrain of East Africa was complicated, and many areas made it impossible for the Chinese tank forces to use, even if it was a simple infantry engagement, the veteran British Imperial troops could not resist. If not, it is more constrained by logistical supply. At this time, the whole of Ethiopia was about to be swept away by China.

The Chinese army in the north had already crossed the Suez Canal and reached the Nile, so naturally there was no need for the East African army to go north to support.

Britain and the United States did not think much about the move of the East African Chinese army to the south, and the vanguard even entered the territory of Kenya. Even if some people thought that the Chinese Army would be infected with the Chinese Army, they could not think of the plan of the Chinese Navy to raid South Africa before the Indian Ocean naval battle was decided.

They were not afraid of the Chinese Army landing on the lands of East Africa, in their plans. As long as the Navy cuts off the passage of the Red Sea. Even if the Chinese army had more than 100,000 men, it would eventually run out of adequate supplies. Even before they could get out of the extremely harsh conditions of the African continent, they fell first.

It was just that the onslaught of the Chinese army put a lot of pressure on the British, and they were relieved to hear that the US Navy was going to act, and hurriedly transferred the British Navy from South Africa and India to help in the war.

At this time, the German Navy, which had always had contacts with China, also moved when it heard the news, and frequently attacked from north to south from the Norwegian Sea in Europe to the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of New Guinea in Africa.

The Germans knew it was time to come to the aid of their Chinese allies. If you don't sit back and don't make a difference, once Huaxia loses a lot of losses in this sortie, you can directly retreat from it, and the opportunity to come to the expedition of the Huaxia Navy after promising many benefits will be lost in vain. Only by showing sincerity can the Huaxia Navy not be able to complain about the lack of strength of the allies. Besides, with this containment of the Huaxia Navy, the German Navy can also take the opportunity to get some oil and water.

Whether it was to further weaken the strength of the German navy and win the initiative, or to let the Germans contain the main force of the Allied navy, Meng Xiang, who originally planned to make the German navy crazy at the end, naturally would not treat this powerful ally badly, and gave the Germans enough fuel in time in the name of the cottage company, so that the German fleet could gallop on the Atlantic Ocean again.

Beginning in late May, a large-scale maritime war was waged between the Axis powers, with China and Germany at the core, and the Allies, mainly Britain and the United States, in the Arctic Ocean, including the interception of supplies supporting Soviet Russia in the Arctic Ocean.

China is about to welcome the U.S. Fifth Fleet, which is part of the Pacific Ocean and commanded by Admiral Spruance himself, in the Gulf of Aden.

With the crushing defeat in the Philippines and the capture of Hals and others, the strength of the US Third Fleet has been greatly damaged, and it has not been relieved to this day. Originally, the Fifth Fleet was to be used as a backup, but the form in the Indian Ocean still allowed the Fifth Fleet to maintain its independence. The replenishment of the Third Fleet was deployed from the domestic and Atlantic fleets.

This time, the fleet that was preparing to ambush Huaxia and raid Guam and other places was part of the Third and Seventh Fleets, which were being restored, and were under the personal command of Nimitz.

With so many troops, Nimitz naturally pursued more than just this victory. Vice Admiral Kincaid, commander of the Seventh Fleet, took advantage of the Philippine springboard to lead other warships of the Seventh Fleet to take the opportunity to launch attacks on some Chinese targets along the western Pacific coast.

For the sake of this war, the Fourth Fleet deployed by the United States in the waters around South America has deployed its main forces to the Pacific side and extended it to the north to make up for the vacancy in the main force of the Third Fleet.

This time, the U.S. Pacific Fleet pressed almost all of its forces. The Atlantic Fleet is also not easy.

Now that the German Navy was reactivated, the 6th and 2nd fleets followed closely in the Atlantic, like sharks smelling blood. Even in order to make up for the shortcomings of the Pacific Fleet, the 2nd Fleet, which was retained as a strategic reserve fleet, transferred part of its forces to support the Fifth Fleet in the Indian Ocean.

In order to get three points of victory on Huaxia, the strength of the Fifth Fleet this time is eye-catching.

"They're menacing this time!" Yang Bo quipped beside him.

"So what? This time you and I have joined forces, and the Yankees are sure to surprise the Yankees in the Gulf of Aden! Chen Guan said disapprovingly.

For the strength of the US Navy, the Navy Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters have been deduced more than once. The Huaxia Navy, which had been prepared for a long time, naturally had the confidence to confront, and I heard that Chairman Meng also had a secret weapon to counteract.

"When you and I studied in the United States, we were looked down upon, and this time the Americans would never have thought that we, the apprentices, would be able to defeat the master!" Yang Bo also lifted his spirits and said proudly.

After studying the Army in the United States, he spent so many years in the Middle East, and his familiarity with his surroundings made him the commander-in-chief of the Red Sea Straits after leading his troops to capture Yemen.

Although it is not clear why the always calm Chen Guan is so confident, he has always believed that the allies will never be able to break through the Red Sea passage he guards.

……

"Although we intended to back down before, the British were still unwilling to embarrass the Chinese Navy in the Red Sea, so they arranged very carefully in the Red Sea, which they were familiar with, but the frigates and torpedo boats of the Chinese Navy in the Red Sea fought fiercely, and annihilated those British in the Red Sea. From this point of view, the Chinese Navy should not be underestimated! Spruance said cautiously.

This man, who is known as the smartest man in the US Navy, has always been cautious, and he does not dare to be careless about Huaxia, which is constantly making Americans suffer.

"The Chinese have only honed their skills in small ship warfare in the coastal waters, which is suitable for operations in the narrow waters of the Red Sea. And they have always lacked experience in ocean-going warfare. On this vast ocean, the Chinese people may not even be able to find our trace on the ocean, not to mention winning the war. And without the army fighters who sheltered them, they might be huddled in the straits of the Red Sea at this time, and they would be strictly guarded! The colonel's staff officer next to him, Little Benson, responded directly.

The nephew of William Benson, the supreme commander of the U.S. Navy in World War I, has always been high-eyed, and at this time he was full of disdain for China: "Didn't the Chinese, who used to be the number one navy in Asia, be captured by the Japanese in the harbor?" They simply do not understand the offensive spirit of the Navy! ”

"Whew!!" Before his words fell, a sharp air defense siren sounded over the fleet, and at the same time more than one person shouted:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Chinese are coming! (To be continued.) )
