Chapter 746: Air Force Boom

After hearing Ma Xiaoshuang's report, Xiao Zhenlei picked up the phone and made a call to Jiang Fangzhen, "Baili?" The Germans sent 500,000 men from Poland to the Western Front, and it seems that the calm on our side reassures the Germans, and since the Germans are going to fight to the death with Britain, France, and the United States, then why don't we fulfill it? Immediately sent an order to Cai Guodong, asking him to stand still, and the navy should urge the British to form a new fleet as soon as possible and join the joint operation to completely solve the German navy! ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

The next morning, Xiao Zhenlei and Yang Du were walking on the lawn behind the presidential palace, and Xiao Zhenlei asked: "Huizi, the Germans sent 500,000 people from Poland to the Western Front, it seems that the Germans want to fight to the death with Britain, France and the United States on the Western Front, who do you think will win this time between Germany and Britain, France and the United States?" ”

Yang Du thought for a few seconds and said: "President, judging from the comparison of the existing forces, the total strength of Britain and the United States in France is still 2.2 million, and if Germany transfers 500,000 troops to the Western Front, Germany's troops on the Western Front will be 100,000 more than those of Britain, France and the United States. The disadvantage of the German army is that it cannot use all its forces for combat, because the German army is not fighting on its own soil, but on the territory of France, and the German army needs a part of its forces to maintain law and order in the occupied areas and protect the supply lines to prevent being attacked by the French partisans, although the German army has 2.3 million people, and judging from the current strategic area of the German army in France, the German army must send at least 300,000 people to maintain local security and protect the supply lines, so the German army can only use a maximum of 2 million troops. On the contrary, it is 200,000 less than Britain, France and the United States, and this gap is not big. With the combat effectiveness of the German army, it can be completely compensated, so in terms of strength. The German army is still stronger than Britain, France and the United States, as for which of them can win, there are many factors in this, in terms of strength alone, the German army is still stronger than Britain, France and the United States! ”

The outcome of a war depends on many factors, the most important of which are the true strength of both sides, the commander's command ability and command level, logistics and supply, natural factors, internal cohesion, and so on. Is it true that Britain is inferior to Germany? On the whole, Britain's overall strength is definitely stronger than that of Germany, but the British have been beaten all over the ground by the Germans. That's telling.

In fact, on the issue of command, there is a natural deficiency or congenital disease on the part of the Entente, that is, the Entente is composed of an allied army, and it has not achieved complete unity on the issue of command, while the Allied side is dominated by Germany, and now the other Allied countries have surrendered one after another, although this seems to make Germany isolated, but it also allows Germany to completely get rid of those burdens, and now the Allied armies are all German troops. The strategic and tactical intentions of the German commanders were to be fully realized by the army, without any constraints or opposition, and therefore were many, much more efficient than the Entente, which was fighting for a campaign. In terms of deployment, it can be argued for months, and that's the difference between the two sides.

In general, the Entente side had a geographical advantage. And the German side occupies the people, as for which side the time will be. It's hard to say, but what is the result? Now the battle has not yet begun. The outcome will only be seen after the battle has begun.

This is Wang Yaqiao walking over quickly, and the secretary Xiao Gao reminded beside him: "President, Director Wang is here!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei and Yang Du stopped when they heard this, turned to look at Wang Yaqiao, Wang Yaqiao walked over quickly and immediately reported: "President, I just received the news that the Germans have organized a large number of manpower and material resources in northern France to prepare to build a strong defense line across northern France north of the Marne River, and the millions of French people who have been organized have already started construction, according to our estimates, with the current people's strength, they can complete the construction of this defense line within three months!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "What the hell are the Germans going to do?" Mr. Yang, what do you think? ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "President, I think I probably understand the intentions of the Germans, the Germans built this defense line, on the one hand, in order to play the role of a confused Britain, France and the United States, covering up their movements from Poland, and at the same time to let Britain, France and the United States relax their vigilance, and when the German reinforcements arrive, the German army will have enough troops to carry out a large-scale counterattack on the British, French and American armies." But the Germans also knew that they could not wipe out all the armies of Britain, France and the United States in France at once, and they were afraid that when the British, French and American armies were heavily defeated, our army would launch an attack on the German mainland on the Eastern Front, and at that time they would push a small part of their forces into that line of defense, and at the same time transfer most of their forces to the Eastern Front to fight our army! ”

After listening to Yang Du's analysis, Xiao Zhenlei nodded: "Understood, it seems that the Germans still put a lot of thought into it!"

Yang Du said again: "President, in fact, the current German forces on the Eastern Front are very weak, and the defense line is too long, as long as our army chooses a key position for the offensive as a breakthrough, concentrates its forces to break through the German defense line, tears a hole in the defense line, and then sends a mechanized force to drive straight into Germany, until it reaches Berlin, Germany, it should not be difficult."

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and said: "It's not that simple, have you thought that I haven't, until now, we have not had any major problems in logistics and transportation, there is no risk of the logistics line being cut off on our side, and several allies who were attacked by our army quickly surrendered, but once our army entered the territory of Germany, the situation was completely different, at that time there were enemies of our army everywhere, and it was impossible for our army to advance as quickly as before, and the further west, the longer our supply line became, once the army supply could not keep up, Our army is in danger of annihilation, we cannot rush to war, Germany's defeat is already a foregone conclusion, they have already lost strategically, why should we be in a hurry? Now is not the time to take risks, and there is no need to take risks, and besides, wouldn't it be good to let the Germans consume the power of Britain, France and the United States? ”

Yang Du took a step back and bowed his head and said, "Yes, the president is thoughtful, and it is not as good as just in case."

Wang Yaqiao said: "President, there is another news, according to the news we have sent back from the intelligence personnel in Germany, Britain, the United States, Italy and other places, after this naval battle in the North Sea, all countries have discovered the huge threat of fighter planes to naval warships, and the high-level military personnel of various countries have asked their respective military equipment research and development departments to develop more powerful fighters, and at the same time, the British and American militaries have also begun to pay attention to the carrier-based aircraft groups on our seaplane carriers. Each of them formed a special research team to analyze the role that seaplane carriers can play in warfare! ”

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked, he said: "It seems that all countries have finally noticed the great power of aircraft carriers in future wars, but it doesn't matter, they are only now starting to pay attention to our seaplane carriers, and our aircraft carriers have completed the second generation of refurbishment, of course, we can't stop because of this, we have to get rid of them in technology for decades before European and American countries develop aircraft carriers!" ”

In the Battle of the North Sea, the German bomber group actually destroyed the 92 warships of the British fleet, a total of 630,000 tons of fleet, which shocked all countries, and the Japanese naval fleet was blown up by the Chinese bomber group, and no one else had seen this matter except for the Chinese air force pilots and naval fleets, so all countries did not believe that the air force could destroy a fleet, and this time many British naval officers and sailors had seen it with their own eyes, and even the Americans had seen it with their own eyes. This cannot be faked, the threat of the air force to the fleet has been very obvious, so on the one hand, countries began to vigorously develop new types of fighters, on the other hand, they also began to develop anti-aircraft weapons, especially anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, in the former Jutland naval battle, the Luftwaffe had bombed the British fleet, but the German bomber performance is not strong, the bomb power is also limited, and the results achieved are not much, although the countries have also found the threat of bombers to the fleet, but they have not paid much attention to it, and the situation is completely different after two years, The German powerful bombers posed too much of a threat to the fleet, and if the fleet was not equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, it would only be passively beaten and helpless.

When it comes to the construction technology of fighter planes, only the technology of Chinese fighters is the most advanced at present, and the military of various countries knows this, so all countries have tried every means to get China's fighter construction technology, but China has been very strict in this regard, and there has never been a way to get it, and various countries have also wanted to obtain technology through cooperative research and development, but China has disdained this.

Now the great power of the air force bomber group is once again revealed, and the air force can actually become a main branch of the army on its own, which makes all countries realize that the pattern of war will begin to change again, especially Germany, Britain and the United States, which have decided to set up an air force command to develop air force units.

At this time, in the north of France, millions of people were carrying people on their shoulders and were in full swing, and a strong defense line running through the entire northern part of France was slowly taking shape, and the Germans also used a large number of trucks to transport a large number of rocks from the mountains to build the defense line and various fortifications.

This move of the Germans made the high-level leaders of Britain, France and the United States confused, and they all wondered, why did the Germans suddenly build a defensive line in northern France? The armies on both sides of the Marne were still facing each other, did the Germans think that they could no longer hold the Marne line, so they built a strong line of defense across northern France in the rear?
