Chapter 484 The five gods gathered to dig a pit, and the American emperor sent people away

For media people from all over the world, March 1945 was a painful and happy day for them, because in this month, there were major events in three different corners of the earth that shook the world, so that they did not have news to report. The only thing that hurts is simply because the time of these major events is too tight and the places where they happen are too far apart, and I can't report all of them on the spot.

Also in March, another major event that shook the world was that at the beginning of this month, the US Navy, which had been training in the Pacific Ocean, finally announced to the world in a high-profile manner this month that it would transfer all the dozens of capital warships, including the 20 Essex-class aircraft carriers that had been built, to the west through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean.

After receiving permission from the US authorities, reporters from various countries who had been prepared for a long time gathered in the Panama Canal and photographed the spectacular scene of four battleships, 26 battle aircraft carriers (including some Independence-class light aircraft carriers), 30 cruisers, and 240 destroyers crossing the Panama Canal.

It has been nearly three years since the US-Japan Pacific War was fought, and with the US war machine running at full speed, by 1945, the US Navy had received a full 23 Esesket-class aircraft carriers and 10 Independence-class light aircraft carriers, plus hundreds of dumpling-like crazy increase in auxiliary frigates, cruisers, and nearly 200 frigates, and the total tonnage of the US Navy has exceeded the total tonnage of the second to fourth naval powers in the world this month.

The U.S. side named the operation "Clarion Call," which means "Horn of Counterattack."

In the UK, the Times reported on the story with the following headline in red letters:

"The warships of the Americans, filling up the Pacific Ocean!"

Counting the fleet that had entered the Pacific ships in advance, the U.S. Navy was in the Pacific. The number of combat aircraft carriers alone is more than thirty, and this number is rapidly increasing at the rate of "one or two per month" combat aircraft carriers.

"Terrible Americans!"

The whole British Isles was filled with such fearful exclamations.

There is no need for an official pen to deliberately guide public opinion, and many Britons spontaneously exclaimed, after reading the newspapers: "It's terrible, when we are still counting the aircraft carriers one by one." The United States is abandoning its navy on the scale of one fleet at a time, and the American navy is too dangerous."

More than 10 days later, on 15 March, Japan's Tokyo Bay was crowded with people, including the emperor, and high-ranking government officials gathered here to greet the visiting "foreign friends" with the highest standard and the most solemn ceremony. To be precise, it should be a "foreign oracle".

"The visit of the British envoy Artoria to Japan" was the second major event in March 1945.

In this era, having a "divine messenger" is equivalent to having a "nuclear bomb" in the future. The significance of a country with an emissary sending an emissary to another country with an emissary is of great significance.

The eyes of the whole world were instantly focused on Tokyo Bay in Japan.

Artoria visited Japan on the USS Lancelot, a 35,000-ton aircraft carrier, which had just been launched this year. Due to the use of the "keel integration" technology, its performance is equivalent to that of a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier. 1943 after the start of the Holy Impact. The British did a very "thunderous" thing, they renamed all the aircraft carriers in service after King Arthur's Twelve Round Table Soldiers.

On the same day, the aircraft carrier Lancelot and the battleship Yamato sailed into Tokyo Bay together, and then docked together at the shore mooring. Then, under the harmony of everyone, the "guardian saints" of Britain and Japan publicly demonstrated their "virtual teleportation" technology. On the red carpet that had been laid out at the pier for a long time, he condensed his embodiment out of thin air, and then walked hand in hand across the red carpet sprinkled with flower petals, and made a show fiercely.

On the surface, the whole world thought that Artoria was visiting Japan for the first time, but in fact she had come to Japan secretly a year ago. I've been here for two whole months, and I'm here for the second time.

The last time Altoli went to Japan, in addition to discussing the Pacific War with Japan on behalf of the British government, one of the purposes was to build nine 18-inch guns on the Brittany, the last British battleship under construction.

With the level of British science and technology, as long as you are willing to spend money, let alone make an eighteen-inch main gun, even if you make twenty-inch guns, it is not a problem. Although a large number of donations from the public were received, which partially solved the problem of insufficient naval funding, the British Empire was defeated after all, and it was good to save a penny.

In the end, the British decided to give the manufacture of gun barrels to the Japanese, who had the experience to make ready-made equipment for eighteen-inch guns. In January last year, the British provided the materials for the manufacture of the barrels, and the barrels of the nine 18-inch main guns were all manufactured by the Japanese. As for the cost of manufacturing, it was replaced by thousands of advanced 2,500-horsepower air-cooled air engines and other military aid provided by the British to Japan.

For the British, who were no longer local tyrants, this greatly saved the cost of building warships, and for the Japanese, they also got additional income from building guns, and both sides were happy.

At that time, Britain and Japan had already received information that the United States was building the same class of Mengda-class battleships, so in this matter, Lin Han and Li Huamei did not embarrass the British, Lin Han also specially infiltrated Japan with Artoria, and then merged with the "Yamato Nadeshiko" four people, and directly participated in the manufacture of artillery barrels.

In order to save money, the British directly used the main gun design prepared by the Japanese for the Yamato, and when formulating the range table, they referred to the data provided by Japan.

The British made eighteen of these eighteen-inch barrels through Japan at once, and the extra nine were for backup.

Another major event that caused a sensation in the world that month was that the Germans sent a huge fleet of 18 warships, headed by four capital ships, the Bismarck, the battleship Tirpitz, the aircraft carrier Gabriel, and the aircraft carrier Sephiros, to arrive in Southeast Asia in early March of that year, and then the fleet was anchored in the port of Manila, the new colony of the Japanese. After a few days of rest, the Germans sent a detachment of the battleship Bismarck and the aircraft carrier Sephiroth and several escorts to continue northward, and docked at the port of Tientsin, on the same day as Artoria's visit to Japan, for a "goodwill visit" to China.

For New China, the country's upper leadership, many of whom saw the true face of such a huge warship for the first time.

Unlike the high-profile and fancy appearance of the British god envoy and the Japanese god envoy, the German god envoy Hannah (Gabriel) appeared very "low-key" and ordinary, and although Lin Han came to greet her as a representative of the Chinese side, there was no ambassador's mysterious means at that time.

This was also the first time that Lin Han, who had been missing for a year and a half after the Holy Shock, appeared in public in China - in fact, Lin Han had returned with the German fleet.

The battleship Bismarck and the aircraft carrier Sephiroth were both cutting-edge warships that were commissioned one after another before and after the end of the war in Europe during the year.

The battleship Bismarck of this dimension had a standard tonnage of over 45,000 tons and was armed with nine sixteen-inch (406 mm) guns. And Lin Han's spirit ship, the Sephiroth, is an improved version of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier, with a standard tonnage of 38,000 tons.

During the days when the port of Tianjin was berthed, the ship was open to ordinary Chinese people, and during the seven days of docking, it received tens of thousands of tourists, and also took the opportunity to absorb a lot of faith power.

Except for the "not yet fully born" Soviet heroes, all of the five great heroes known to the public gathered in East Asia in March, which was a sensational event around the world, and all the eyes of the world were focused here.

At a sensitive time when the US Navy was about to blow the clarion call for a counteroffensive in the Pacific, the divine envoys of Britain and Germany led powerful fleets into the western Pacific and suddenly appeared in China and Japan.

However, the big news that made the media around the world even more excited was that after concluding a 10-day "goodwill visit" to China, the German Navy anchored in Tianjin set sail on 26 June and arrived in Tokyo Bay on 28 July.

With great excitement and enthusiasm, the Japanese ushered in another "divine envoy" general. To the outside world, the political implications of the gathering of the envoys of Britain, Germany, and Japan in Tokyo, Japan, on this day are self-evident.

The media in various countries referred to the incident as the "gathering of the three gods", but some people suspected that the Chinese god Lin Han might also be mixed in, and ingeniously called it the "gathering of the four gods".

However, the real situation at that time was that China's "divine envoy" Lin Han was also lurking on his new spiritual ship Sephiroth aircraft carrier at this time, and if you count the Katyusha in the body of "Yamato Nadeshiko", it was actually a "gathering of five gods" here in Tokyo.

In addition to the little Hannah, who is continuing to play Hitler in Germany, the "Lin Han family" now has a happy "family carnival" in Japan.

When the news reached the United States, the whole of America trembled at the news.

"What do the British want to do, what do the Germans want to do?"

This was the first thought of all Americans when they heard the news, and President Dewey roared even more so when he received information that the main force of the German Navy had also entered the Pacific Ocean during this period.

At the sensitive period when the US Navy was about to blow the clarion call for counterattack, the British Navy and the German Navy transferred half of their capital ships to the western Pacific and visited the "theater of operations" during this sensitive period.

The U.S. government protested to Britain and Germany, and the British replied that this was Britain's internal affair, while the Germans replied unceremoniously and directly in the face: This is a copy of what you did in the Atlantic in 1940. (To be continued......)
