Chapter 229: The army is in the Gulf of Aden
"Change! Why not change? As long as His Majesty allows the Smolgon family to become the royal family of Timor, let alone a Swan River Winery, His Majesty will give whatever he wants! ”
Old Sandra on the phone was already on the verge of madness.
Hebal pinched his nose and smiled bitterly, I don't know when, this habit of His Majesty is liked to be imitated by many people.
His father's dream of being a king has been going on for too long, and since the Rothschilds became kings in Luzon, Sandra has been on the verge of moving, and from time to time she lamented that Prince Haman had given birth to a good girl or something, and that resentful look made Hebal uncomfortable.
This time, the old man has fulfilled his long-cherished wish, not only has the king's dream come true, but the unborn daughter of his own family has also been caught by the little princess.
"What's the matter with this Nima?" Hebar suddenly sighed, was the idea he gave His Majesty right or wrong? This symbolizes history and glory, and the royal identity is extremely noble, and it has become a wholesale cabbage all over the place.
All right! Putting down the good news call to the old man, Hebar admitted that the excitement of becoming a royal family made him a little unable to sit still. touched the slightly bulging lower abdomen of Mrs. Lucy, who came over with coffee, "You have to fight to give birth to a daughter, then she will be the crown princess...... Well, at worst, it's also a grand duchess! ”
Think about it, it's better not to say these two words casually!
The series of reactions caused by the "wholesale royal family" was far from over, and the CIA investigation showed that around New Year's Day in 1941, tens of billions of dollars of wealth left the control of American banks and transferred to the Han Imperial Bank through neutral countries, and the American economy was in danger of collapsing in 1942. In other words, the New Deal implemented by President Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression in the United States after he came to power, and the achievements of the past ten years were stolen by the Han Empire through the "wholesale royal family" operation.
"Another economic crisis in the United States will be inevitable!" Secretary of State Hull's voice was a little heavy.
"Son of a bitch!" Roosevelt, with a gloomy face, sat in his wheelchair for a long time, squeezing out only these four words. Mr. President, who pays attention to his image, did not say such swear words when he learned that the US military visiting fleet in Wusongkou had been attacked.
If the series of victories of the Han Royal Navy in the Pacific Ocean only temporarily achieved a strategic advantage, then the economic draw from the bottom of the kettle will undoubtedly be fatal to the United States!
"It's not enough, we're not ready!" Zhong Yi in the Wei Qing Pavilion resolutely rejected the plan to organize a landing on the West Coast of the United States.
His Majesty shook the crystal glass in his hand and watched the bright red wine flow smoothly on the wall. "Lao Jiu, inform Long Xiaotian that after staying in Taoyuan for so long, they can move - go to Hawaii, except for Oahu, he can choose any other island. However, the United States is not Japan, and the United States has several advanced fighters that can catch up with Helleye, so it is impossible for him to be as arrogant as he was in Japan! ”
"Your Majesty, then our Qiu Long ......" Air Force Commander Yun Jiu subconsciously paused when he said the word Qiu Long, which attracted angry scolding from Jiang Yunzhi and Zhang Zheng.
Your Majesty, the caution of Admiral Yun is necessary, as the key research of the war laboratory, the Qiulong high-altitude bomber is a new generation of strategic bomber that replaces the eye of hell and adapts to the current air combat situation, and it is also a five-star scientific research project with the highest level of secrecy. So far, in the military, the existence of Qiu Long is only known to His Majesty and Yun Jiu. However, it doesn't matter, the Qiulong jet wing has already begun test flights.

Such data, in such an era, can be called against the sky, and the cost is also ...... It's against the sky.
In fact, Zhong Yi prefers the B-2, but with the current research and development capabilities of the laboratory, stealth materials are a big problem, not to mention avionics and engine performance. I had no choice but to retreat and provide the data of the YB-49, the predecessor of the B-2, to the scientists.
Unexpectedly, this tailless flying wing layout, which can be called a monster in the aircraft world, has been greatly praised by bomber experts, and his majesty is really worthy of being the son of God!
For this kind of misappropriation of the achievements of others in previous lives, His Majesty has been able to "pamper and not be shocked"! Even "count the ...... of the romantic characters" dare to shout a few words, what else does Your Majesty dare not do?
The Helleye that resembles the B-52 was made two years ago, is there still a YB-49 that has only produced prototypes? Qiulong, as long as the test flight is successful and the performance meets the design requirements, it can enter the mass production stage of the base. Compared with ordinary aircraft factories, the aircraft factories at the base have a lot less necessary procedures and save a lot of time.
Of course, the strategic bombing of the United States cannot wait for the dragon to enter the service, and although there is a danger of being shot down, as long as it can hit the military bases and related military industrial enterprises on the west coast of the United States, it is worth paying some sacrifices.
However, the maximum range of Helleye of 6,400 kilometers can only barely bomb the west coast of the United States from Hawaii, and it is also necessary to reduce the bomb load, load auxiliary fuel tanks, and the Air Force's Tianlong fighters can only escort half-distance. Once the strategic bombing of the United States begins, the strategic bomber forces will certainly face huge casualties.
Zhong Yi asked the Royal Air Force to make a careful plan to increase the suddenness and concealment of the bombing. There is no need for much bombing effect, just like the "Doolittle Air Raid" in the previous life, as long as the strategic bombers can fly over Los Angeles and drop bombs, they can cause panic among the Americans and make the rich people more determined to flee the United States!
This kind of political effect is not something that can be achieved by taking off a Pterodactyl bomber on a naval aircraft carrier! Moreover, the waters between Hawaii and Los Angeles and San Francisco have become the battlefield of the largest submarine battle in history, and a large number of land-based aircraft deployed by the United States on the west coast will also threaten the naval aircraft carriers entering the voyage at any time.
So the launch of strategic bomber forces became the only option.
Of course, the better option is to log in! The General Staff has already drawn up a plan for the "salvation" of the landing in the Americas, and as with the previous code name of the operation, no one knows why His Majesty named this plan "Salvation" and who to save? Indians or Mexicans bullied by the United States?
Or maybe His Majesty wants to go to the Caribbean to be a savior? Maybe both.
But His Majesty has always insisted that this "rescue" plan is just a spare tire, and the capture of Hawaii, the bombing of the West Coast of the United States, the forcing of the US military industry to transfer to the East Coast, and the maintenance of military pressure on the United States at any time, have already completed the first phase of the Pacific War. Just look at Japan's war in China, even if there is such a large military gap between China and Japan, how difficult it will be to completely conquer a country with huge territorial depth?
Therefore, Zhong Yi believes that to defeat the United States, first of all, it is necessary to economically deprive it of the prestige of the world leader, and then ...... Of course, it is to take advantage of the opportunity when Lao Mei does not dare to move and clean up its minions, such as Britain or something. Finally, the way to win is to attack the North American continent with Germany in the east and west.
Europe first, then America! This was the war strategy set by His Majesty for the Empire, and of course, it was also to the then Chief of Staff of the US Army, George Brown. Cartlett? Marshall learned the strategy of "attacking Nazi Germany first and then attacking the Japanese Empire" formulated by this master of strategy for the United States in his previous life, which made an indelible contribution to the victory of the United States in World War II.
There is a ready-made successful experience, and if you don't use it, that's not Your Majesty's style.
For example, the "torch" plan drawn up in London by the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of the United States and Britain, led by Marshall, concentrated superior forces to land in North Africa, giving priority to destroying German and African troops, and then landing in Europe.
That's a good plan! His Majesty almost copied everything, the only difference was that the Afrika Korps, commanded by Hans and Ink, did not need to storm the landing. Because the empire had territory in Africa, Somaliland, which was sent by the British.
Although the British regretted it and wanted to go back, in a series of battles in Northeast Africa, the Sixth Guards Army and the Coastal Corps drove the British colonial black forces step by step to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.
With the end of the Battle of Hawaii, His Majesty's gaze returned to the Indian Ocean region.
The Southern Fleet escorted the Yanzhou Army through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf region, and the day after the Empire officially declared war on the British, the Yanzhou Army had already entered Basra from Kuwait and then went up the Euphrates River to confront the Anglo-Indian Seventeenth Army at Najaf.
Just when Churchill was still complacent about his advance transfer of the 17th Army in India to Iraq for defense, a more exciting news made Qiu Fatzi immediately flutter.
The Northern Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han Dynasty has appeared in the Gulf of Aden. The Second Army of the Coastal Corps of the Han African Front captured Djibouti and seized the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the gateway to the Red Sea.
It wasn't until this moment that Churchill really realized that the Great Han had officially declared war on Britain! Such a declaration of war is not as small as the previous conflict between the two countries and the two armies, and the Han Emperor's action is a thunderous blow. In Siberia, in Hawaii, in ...... Churchill had to admit that Africa was in danger and the Mediterranean was ...... Dangerous.
Egypt, Churchill's eyes are firmly fixed on the Suez Canal on the map! As long as Egypt is not lost, as long as the British army can maintain sufficient pressure on the Suez Canal, then this canal is the burial place of the Han navy.
The only trouble was the Convention of Constantinople. In 1888, the Congress of Constantinople declared the Suez Canal a neutral zone under the protection of the British Empire, and made it open to ships of all countries, both in peace and war. In addition, the Convention provides that there shall be no hostilities in the waters of the canal and that no fortifications shall be built along its shores.
In addition, in the Sinai Peninsula, the British did not have enough troops, and once the Han army launched a landing operation in the Red Sea, Jordan and Palestine would not be safe.
Churchill was an excellent historian, statesman, painter, orator, writer, and journalist, and among his many titles, he may not be worthy of the title of military strategist, but this time, he guessed almost all the strategic plans of the Han Emperor, and the only thing he didn't guess was Palestine, the "ancestral homeland" of the Jews!
