Chapter 259: Three Kingdoms Fight Landlords

Despite choosing to join the Iron Alliance, Turkish President Inonu's policy of striking left and right has not changed. If he had read the Three Kingdoms, he would definitely applaud Xu Shu's performance after entering Cao Ying.

Germany's demand for the Turkish Army to attack Georgia was not unexpected. The Germans, who were in a bitter battle with the main forces of the Red Army in the Don Valley, needed the Allies to open a gap in the Soviet flank. Undoubtedly, Turkey, which is not weak in terms of land strength, is the first choice. But Inonu said that it would take time for the army to build, and that Turkey had never considered joining the war before, so in terms of supplies......

In a word, "It's not easy for our small family and small business, why should we mix in the war game between the gods if we don't give enough benefits?" If not...... If it weren't for the Han Emperor's enthusiasm, we would still pursue a non-aligned policy! Joining the Allies, even the will of the great leader Kemal was violated! ”

In fact, Zhong Yi is also quite kind. At the moment when Turkey announced its accession to the Allies, several regiments on the border between Iran and Iraq immediately moved south.

Next, let the mustache and Inonu fight, with the shrewdness of the Turks, they will not send troops without giving a full price, which is equivalent to the warlord troops in the North China period, if you don't give enough money, what kind of war will you fight?

In the 16th century, the Ottoman army burned Moscow and almost destroyed Russia, but by the end of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was defeated several times by the Russian army in the Caucasus, and the territories of the Black Sea region such as Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia were also lost. Today, the Turkic warriors who were driven by the Han people to the junction of Europe and Asia have long lost the bravery of their ancestors, and they are left alone to face a big country......

It's no wonder that Ino struggled to prevaricate his mustache in order to postpone the date of the army.

Zhong Yi has a plan, if the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Alliance in the Middle East are the first to send troops at the border between Iran and the Soviet Union, and then let the Turkish army follow, presumably Inonu will have no excuse to delay. But......

"Germany should make trouble in the Soviet Union for a while!"

Come to think of it, this is not only Zhong Yi's wish, but even Luo Cripple and Qiu Fatzi will welcome it on all fours.

The three landlords of the Mediterranean, the number of people is complete, and everyone has no intention of letting the mustache mix in again.

In the current situation, the Han Emperor is obviously a landlord, and he also has a good deck of cards in his hand. Looking at the poor British aircraft carriers, which are still carrying propeller-type dive bombers and even bulky torpedo bombers, His Majesty is a little disdainful.

"Lao Tzu and the two kings are still with a long dragon, Qiu Fatzi, what are you doing with your hand of loose cards to fight with me?"

Before bullying the soft-footed Mussolini out of Xiang, do you really think that the British Royal Navy is still the era of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world"?

In the battle for Libya, the navy went to war before the army. While the Grand Alliance Army commanded by Hans and Shui Mo and the multinational force led by Eisenhower were still in central Libya, the Battle of Malta, the Eye of the Mediterranean, had officially begun in an unprecedented aircraft carrier showdown.

In the Alps, the Italian mountain troops, like their other "Adou" brothers, were beaten by the Free French troops, which consisted of volunteers.

In Africa, where the situation could not be opened for a long time, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Multinational Force led by Marshall made another ruthless move and formed the Second Group of the Multinational Force, with British General Harold Alexander as the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Theater of the Allied Powers. His goal was to capture the Italian island of Sicily from Tunisia, which was controlled by the multinational forces, and then land in the Apennines, where he would flank the Free French forces from north to south and force the surrender of the weaker Allied Italy.

This is obviously bullying Italy, and it is no wonder that people pick soft persimmons, and Italy is indeed the army, navy, and air force, and none of them have raised their faces. Even the French army, which has already been wiped out, bullied their most elite Alpine mountain brigade, what else is there to say?

But in the eyes of the mustache, the Apennines must not be lost, otherwise, a gap will be opened in the defense circle of the European continent, France, Austria, and even Germany itself will be threatened by multinational forces, and the defense line built by nearly a million German troops in the coastal areas of France will be useless. But most of the main forces of the German army were already concentrated on the Don and Moscow fronts, and even the elite armored divisions of the SS were already in a bitter battle in Voroshilovgrad.

The Germans forced the Don River to cross the Don River, and the total number of troops invested by both sides was 2.6 million. In the battle for the great corner of the Don, the two sides fought almost surrounded each other. It was the Red Army that repelled the German attack, and the appearance of enemy armored forces on both sides would be found. Then reinforcements were called, and the Soviets increased the area and surrounded all the German troops. But when the encirclement was formed and the general offensive was prepared, the Soviet command would have discovered that the German interspersed units had cut off their rear beyond the larger area......

This is no longer what Western sandwiches can describe, in Dahan, there is a food that can be particularly appropriately compared to this kind of inner three layers, outer three layers of income surrounding.

Mille-feuille cake is one of the famous foods of the Han nationality in the area of Dongping Jieshan Township, Shandong. This kind of cake is wrapped with a layer of crust on the outside, and there are more than ten layers inside, the layers are divided, after cooking, the outside is yellow and the inside is clear, crispy and soft and oily, the hot food is not greasy, the cold food is not loose, and the taste is fragrant.

However, the "mille-feuille" encirclement of the Soviet and German armies was by no means so enjoyable, and the long-distance penetration of armored forces had lost its effectiveness, because they did not know whether the troops in front would be replaced by their own men after the tanks were activated and after a few shots. "Mille-feuille", if you bite into it, it is definitely not between you and me.

In this case, Mustache and the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union both spent their blood and desperately increased troops to the Don River.

Regarding the attack of the multinational force on Italy, the mustache bluntly said, "No reinforcements!" Unless the Berlin garrison is sent! ”

The sad Mussolini had already realized the change in attitude of the Italian king Umberto, coupled with the repeated defeats of the Italian army, the loss of African colonies, not to mention the fact that even the mainland was about to be attacked. Adolf's attitude almost made him desperate, and the only hope was pinned on the Han Emperor!

In this part of the Mediterranean, it is not enough to have an army, but a navy! So, since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, since the British defeated the Spanish Armada, this territory has been British.

But now...... The landlord is fighting lively, Luo Cripple and Qiu Fatzi have found another way, which is too unreasonable!

A telegram was sent to Rome, "Don't worry, brother! ”

……

Well, of course, exchanges between countries are not such child's play, but Foreign Secretary Wilson did write in his memoirs in his later years: When he learned that the multinational force had formed a second group and was preparing to attack Sicily, His Majesty raised his hand and said: "Tell Mussolini, don't worry, brother cover him!" ”

His Majesty easily did not fool people, and after a telegram reassured Mussolini, who was already on fire, the northern fleet of the Royal Han Navy, which was based in Alexandria, Egypt, Haifa, Palestine and other places, immediately pulled anchor and set sail.

Guan Canghai's Mediterranean battle plan was greatly appreciated by His Majesty. Pure defense has always been the style of the Han Royal Navy. Since the multinational forces were to capture Sicily as a springboard, the Allies were to capture the island of Malta, the heart of the Mediterranean.

After the loss of Egypt, the military port of Valletta on the island of Malta was already the largest naval base of the British Navy in the Mediterranean. If this place is lost, the multi-force navy will have to retreat to Gibraltar, which means ceding the Mediterranean to the Central Powers.

Beginning in June 1942, after Italy obtained a batch of D-4 Phantom fighters, it equipped two air divisions and began to bomb the island of Malta with Phantom escort old bombers.

The Meteor series, F-86 Sabre, F-107 Ultimate Sabre and other fighters of the multinational force resolutely fought back. Among them, the most colorful is the latest delta-wing F-102 Javelin fighter in the United States, which is currently the fastest supersonic aircraft in actual combat, and has been in the limelight in the chase with the H-41 Qiulong flying wing bomber of the Han army on the west coast of the United States, and is known as the only fighter in the United States that can shoot down the Qiulong.

Because of the success of the delta-wing Javelin, a new type of fighter was even derived from the classification of fighters - interceptors. That is, with excellent high-speed and high-altitude performance, it intercepts the enemy's bombers, reconnaissance planes, and other combat targets in the air, so as to defend its own important towns, strategic points, and transportation hubs from being attacked by air raids.

Of course, interceptors generally need ground radar stations or early warning aircraft to guide to the target area, and then use airborne radar to intercept and track the target, and attack the target when the aircraft is in an effective attack position.

However, against the old bombers of the Italian Air Force, all the American pilots of the Javelin had to do was to take off and search for targets through the onboard radar after receiving a warning from a ground mine, and then launch Falcon Falcon missiles to shoot them down!

The D-4 Phantom fighter equipped by the Italian Air Force is not inferior in combat with other types of aircraft of the US military, and even has a slight advantage! However, since the arrival of two squadrons of 48 triangular javelins on the island of Malta, the number of goblins shot down has gradually increased. Mussolini once again asked the Emperor Han to send the Royal Air Force into the war!

The land-based air force of the multinational forces must be knocked out, otherwise the Navy will be too limited in this big bathtub in the Mediterranean! Zhong Yi and Guan Canghai are also aware of this problem!

Therefore, when the air battle in Malta was raging and the Italian Air Force was rarely tough, the Northern Fleet did not act rashly.

The development of the aviation industry in the United States is somewhat beyond the imagination of His Majesty. I thought that in the previous life, the blowout of the new fighter jets of the United States after World War II benefited from the large number of talents and drawings obtained from Germany. Unexpectedly, in this world, because of the emergence of Zhong Yi, ten years after advancing the jet age, the United States still quickly ascended to the highest field of fighter research and development.

In the base laboratory, among the latest fighters lit up on the icon, there are not no supersonic aircraft, and even the D-6 Skylight fighter in the Royal Douglas aircraft factory, which is also in a delta-wing layout, is no worse than the American triangular Javelin in terms of interception.

It's just that His Majesty, who is used to crushing opponents in terms of equipment performance, is really not suitable for fighting a close battle with the opponent.

The subsequent improved version of the J39 Tianlong fighter did not satisfy His Majesty, and Zhong Yi wanted not to be equal, but to explode. Just when the Air Force had begun to switch fields one after another to join the battle of the century for the Mediterranean sky, in front of the console of the main base in Queens, His Majesty, who was anxiously waiting, finally saw the icon of another fighter plane lit up.
