Opening up the Atlantic route and sweeping away or severely damaging the US Atlantic Fleet was the primary goal of the "Zheng He" plan.

Unlike the Yongle fleet's several expeditions, the Royal Navy's goal was to safely transport millions of Allied troops to the east coast of the United States. To achieve such a goal, there can be no American fleet in the Atlantic.

However, after the "Wusongkou Incident," especially after the fiasco of the decisive battle in the Mediterranean, the Americans also deeply realized that aircraft carriers are the main combat force of the modern navy.

Relying on the powerful shipbuilding capability of the United States, the US Navy has to quickly recover its vitality in just a few years, and the advanced Essex aircraft carriers alone have already been added to the list of eight, plus a large number of escort aircraft carriers, a large number of destroyers of all levels whose air defense and anti-submarine capabilities have been strengthened, and supporting ships that the US military has never lacked, the US Navy is worthy of a war with the Royal Navy!

In this regard, the allies have paid considerable attention. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the "Zheng He" plan, the joint meeting of the Chiefs of General Staff of the Grand Alliance G14 (England and Scotland on the basis of G12) was held in Cairo by Marshal Ye Weixun, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and a consensus was reached to jointly form a joint Allied fleet to escort the Allied forces in Europe to land in North America for operations.

Of course, even in the G14, there is a considerable gap in the naval strength of the countries. The Combined Fleet, of course, is dominated by the Imperial Royal Navy, and the commander of the Northern Fleet, stationed in the Mediterranean Sea and the Celtic Sea, Admiral Guan Canghai, was appointed commander of the Allied Combined Fleet, with full responsibility for operations in the Atlantic! The Atlantic Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Reich, stationed in the Azores, was temporarily merged with the Northern Fleet and merged into the Combined Fleet. Vice Admiral Lin Jie, former commander of the Atlantic Fleet, served as deputy commander of the Combined Fleet and commander-in-chief of the submarine force; The other deputy commander is the new Italian naval commander Admiral Tambuyazo, the former naval commander Admiral Giriziani because of the close cooperation with Marshal Jiang Yunzhi and other national officers in the Allied General Headquarters during the Mediterranean War, and was promoted to the rank of marshal, and served as the deputy commander of the Italian army, becoming the second person in the army system after Mussolini.

In addition to the Italian Navy's Aquila aircraft carrier battle group, the Soyuz aircraft carrier and the Seraphic aircraft carrier formation of the Kingdom of Judah are also quite eye-catching in the combined fleet. Six Soyuz-class aircraft carriers built by the Dahan Shipyard have been completed, four of which were ordered by the Kingdom of Judah, and one entered service with the Empire's coastal fleet, while the other was sold to Spain, becoming Spain's best hope for the restoration of the Armada dream.

The Invincible, the sixth ship of the Soyuz-class aircraft carrier, had just been officially listed in the Spanish Navy for three months, and led six escort ships to form an aircraft carrier battle formation and went to the Celtic Sea in England to join the Allied Combined Fleet.

Such a move represents that Franco is determined to stand with the Han Emperor, of course, this is also the treacherous Franco who sees through the truth that hard work is rewarded, and finds out the character of the Han Emperor.

More resolutely with the empire was the Huaxia Republic, and President Chiang also sent the Huaxia Navy's only light aircraft carrier, the Zhongshan. Converted from an aircraft carrier training ship at the former Royal Navy's Dahan Bay Training Base, the Zhongshan is a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of less than 30,000 tons, capable of carrying only short-range and vertical take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft, and has limited combat power.

In response to the call of the Han Emperor, President Chiang did not hesitate to send this treasure bump of the Chinese navy. Even his son is willing to be sent to the front, let alone a warship that was originally obtained from the Empire!

The Turkish Navy was rather shabby, sending the only cruiser with ocean-going capabilities, the Kemal! In the era of large aircraft carriers, the navy did not have aircraft carriers and was considered a symbol of a weak country. In order to comply with public opinion and to make Turkey more valued by other countries in the grand alliance, Turkish Prime Minister Inonu has reached an informal verbal agreement with the Han Emperor to exchange Turkey's minerals for a Union-class aircraft carrier to satisfy the people's desire for Turkey to have an aircraft carrier.

However, during the formation of the Allied Combined Fleet, Zhong Yi instructed the Governor of the North Sea, Huo Lu, to get in touch with the Soviet side, hoping that the Soviet Red Banner Black Sea Fleet, which had been operating in the Mediterranean, would send warships to join the Combined Fleet.

However, after careful consideration, the bearded man rejected the Empire's request.

In the eyes of the bearded man, if it were not for the weakness of the Soviets, then Germany and Han were the enemies of the Soviet Union. One is the desire to destroy Russia, and the other is to take advantage of the fire to rob Siberia and the Far East.

In order to survive the crisis, although the Soviets chose to compromise with the Han state, they could become allies without representing the two sides!

Now, relations between China and Germany have broken down, and Germany intends to open armistice negotiations with the Soviet Union, while Han hopes that the Red Army can continue to drag the main German army on the Soviet-German battlefield. In the blink of an eye, the Soviets went from facing the destruction of the country to being gluttonous. Without the threat of ruin, the greed and arrogance of the bearded man were immediately revealed.

Although, the wartime economy of the Soviet Union was in many ways strictly dependent on imports from the countries of the Grand Alliance; Although, even if the Soviet Union and Germany were armistice, the post-war reconstruction of the Soviet Union's industrial system would inevitably be inseparable from the Grand Alliance. But the bearded man never thought of groveling to the Han Emperor.

The so-called alliance between the countries of the Grand Alliance, in the eyes of the bearded, is nonsense. That was simply the submission of other countries to the Han state. The bearded man who was once the boss of the Comintern, of course, would only understand it this way.

In fact, the bearded man did not understand it wrongly, but he only cared about his own dignity and desire to rule others, and ignored the interests of the country.

Franco, Inonu and the like, which one is easy to match, but they have resisted from the beginning, and now they are willingly surrounding the Han Emperor, to put it bluntly, isn't the empire able to bring benefits to allied countries?

With sufficient benefits, small countries will submit to large ones, as has been the case since ancient times.

The arrogant bearded man, after rejecting the demands of the governor of Beihai, Huo Lu, was still proud of his decision, and shouted to the other comrades of the Soviet power, "We are poor, but we must also be poor and ambitious!" ”

It's just that he would not have imagined that more than ten years later, it was his decision today that became the root cause of the complete overthrow of Soviet power. It was only when the Russian Coalition once again replaced the Soviet Republic and got along with the Grand Alliance that the Bolsheviks, who had experienced this firsthand, would have thought about how the Soviets would have developed if the General Secretary had accepted the olive branch offered by the Emperor Han on his own initiative.

Such an assumption is of course meaningless, just as without the participation of the Soviet Red Banner Black Sea Fleet, the commander of the Allied Combined Fleet, General Guan Canghai, breathed a sigh of relief.

With Commander Guan's original intention, fighting in the Atlantic with the US Navy did not need the warships that these allies had cobbled together to get so many coalition forces, Guan Canghai felt that the trouble had increased a lot. The performance of warships and the quality of sailors in various countries are uneven, and it takes a lot of effort to unify command and coordinate with each other. Of course, the navies of these allies are quite easy to manage, and if you really add the fanatical and stubborn guys of the Soviet Union, it will definitely make the big head die.

Not only will it not increase the combat power of the Allied Combined Fleet, but it is also likely to lag behind, "Fart, the Red Flag Fleet, I really want His Majesty to order, Lao Tzu can send a double aircraft carrier battle group to completely destroy those old hairies!" Nima, mixed in the Mediterranean, even the royal navy needs to relieve them, and even the place of call is still borrowed from the port of Israel, and he dares to get sè when he mixes this poor and sour! ”

For the Red Banner Black Sea Fleet, which is known as the strongest fleet of the Soviet Union, Guan Canghai is full of disdain. "Just those few broken ships, send a few brute dragons over, a few 'Hong's Penguin' air-to-ground missiles can be easily handled, and even the 'Mai's Penguin' anti-ship missiles of the 'Zhiqiu-class' missile frigates are not something that those old Soviet ships that still rely on main guns as their main attack method can compete with."

In terms of the navy, if you want to deal with the Soviet Navy, it is a typical adult bullying children, and in this world, the opponent of the Royal Navy, after the destruction of the British Navy, only the American Navy can withstand a war.

Of course, Zhong Yi wanted to attract the Soviet Navy to join the Allied Combined Fleet, not for the sake of combat strength, but more for political considerations. Huo Lu, the governor of Beihai, sent back the news that the bearded man refused to allow the navy to participate in the war, and the bigwigs of Wei Qingge were angry enough.

"Isn't this a shame on your face?" Yun Shuai's temper is still hot.

But His Majesty smiled, "What is the quarrel, buying and selling does not give birth to benevolence and righteousness!" However, it is true that this problem cannot be used to him. From now on, all the exchanges between us and Lao Maozi in other aspects will be terminated, and if we want to talk, it will only be business. ”

Yes, only business! In fact, the bearded man also knew very well that the armistice between the Soviet Union and Germany would not immediately restore normal diplomatic relations, and the confrontation between the two armies was inevitable. If the Soviet Union wanted to strengthen its foreign relations, the only channel could only be the Far East, and the only goal could only be the Grand Alliance. However, the bearded man still rejected the goodwill expressed by the Han Emperor twice in a row since the Xijing G12 of the Grand Alliance.

Perhaps, for the two who are not willing to be subordinated to the king, this is the only option; Perhaps, for the two nations that occupy an important position in the forest of the world's nations, this is a fatalistic choice.

Two neighbors with the same ambitions are unlikely to become friends. It's because of the proximity of the house, you have to guard against the other party's bite at any time. When China was weak, it was Russia that hurt China the most; When China fell into the darkness before dawn, it was still the group of old Maozi who fell into the well, but they changed their coats, a red coat.

The arrogance of the bearded man cut off Zhong Yi's idea of using Lao Maozi to contain the Germans. The outbreak of the Battle of the Atlantic also gave the mustache and the mustache a chance to sit down and talk while licking their own wounds.

Is such an opportunity good or bad for the Han Empire, for the road to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and for the dream of the rise of a great power? Zhong Yi had no time to pay attention. Just as the defeat of the Japanese Navy was the first to be defeated, the mighty Royal Navy has once again pulled anchor and set sail, preparing for a decisive battle in the blue sea!
