Chapter 442: Governor of the Bahamas
Dönitz's decision was quite in line with the essence of the Han art of war, and he took it by surprise and did the opposite.
Two hours later, the carrier-based aircraft of the Red Shield fleet were resupplyed, and Admiral Airy gave the order to attack indiscriminately, and the large ships and small ships were bombed together, completely annihilating the German High Seas Fleet.
However, the carrier-based aircraft formation did not find the rest of the ships of the High Seas Fleet, and the slowly sinking Lützov, which was slowly sinking under fire, proved that this was indeed the site of the recent engagement. The attack aircraft group searched Iceland in the northeast and Newfoundland in the northwest in two directions, but no trace of the High Seas Fleet was found.
Admiral Airy was puzzled, "Could it be that the High Seas Fleet has fled not to the north but to the south?" ”
To the southwest is Bermuda and North America, where the Allies are also fighting fiercely with the United States, and to the southeast is the Azores, the base camp of the Han Royal Navy in the Atlantic.
Moreover, the German Navy can still be mixed in the North Atlantic, and when it comes to the Central Atlantic, not to mention the defeat of the remnants of the High Seas Fleet, even if it is a complete lineup before the sinking of the Zeppelin, it will not benefit anything. Both in terms of traditional spheres of influence and supply areas, the High Seas Fleet could only flee in the north, Iceland or Newfoundland.
But the carrier-based aircraft formation almost reached the combat radius, and there was nothing to gain, so it had no choice but to return. The aimless search here is not the specialty of the naval fleet, and Airy has no choice but to send four more endured Fireeyes to continue the search. In the vast Atlantic, there are only four AWACS/reconnaissance planes searching, which is somewhat a bit of a matter of exhaustion and resignation to the destiny of heaven. Whether or not an enemy ship can be spotted depends on the luck of the collision.
Even so, the reconnaissance range of the Fire Eye is still the northern part of the sea area where the two sides are fighting, that is, the waters of the North Atlantic. Airy firmly believed that it was impossible for Dönitz to continue to place such a weak fleet in the sphere of activity of the Allied forces in the Mid-Atlantic.
It was precisely by taking advantage of this mentality of most of the officers of the Red Shield Fleet that Dönitz commanded the High Seas Fleet, which had only nine warships of all types, south down the Mid-Atlantic Sea, carefully avoiding the Allied convoy and, after crossing the 40th parallel, drew a shallow arc to sail around the area where the Bermuda Combined Fleet and the U.S. Atlantic Fleet were engaged, and sailed towards the Bahamas.
After the American Revolution, many British loyalists fled to the Bahamas, where the supreme ruler was still the Governor appointed by King George.
After England joined the Great China Alliance, after the establishment of the "Europe-American Alliance", the capture of British overseas territories did not have any psychological obstacles for the German Navy. The only trouble was that Germany had not declared war on England and Scotland after the separation, and the high seas fleet's avoidance of the Bahamas could cause some diplomatic problems for Germany.
These are not what Dönitz needs to consider. Preserving the surviving warships of the High Seas Fleet and preserving the hopes of the German Navy is the most important responsibility of the naval commander at present.
Hiding into a U.S. military port was not considered, although the Port of Miami in Florida had more comprehensive facilities. The Atlantic Fleet was engaged in a fierce battle with the Allies, and Dönitz did not want to use the remaining strength of the German Navy as cannon fodder for the Americans. What's more, with the current strength of the High Seas Fleet, it really can't have too much impact on the war situation.
After three days of wandering around the outer edge of the Caribbean Sea, Dönitz finally received a transoceanic telegram from the base camp, in which the Führer agreed to the plan of the High Seas Fleet to capture the Bahamas and asked Dönitz to get in touch with the American forces and cooperate in the operation.
No one could have imagined that this plan would have a huge impact on future generations, and it even indirectly contributed to the formation of the Cold War. But at the time, Dönitz was just trying to find a temporary respite for the ships on the high seas.
There was no suspense in the battle for the island, and the destroyer USS Wolfsburg of the High Seas Fleet, after reaching New Providence, the main island of the Bahamas, fired only a few shots off the beach, and the colonial forces of the Governor's House scattered and fled. Counting on a group of blacks and Indians armed with rifles to resist a modern navy? Rogers, the Governor of the Bahamas, believed that King George would not have such crazy ideas either.
The German sailors began their landing in lifeboats on battleships, and after the fiasco, they experienced the thrill of the British colonizers who had bullied the natives everywhere centuries ago. On the contrary, the Indians, who were a small number of the Doge's palace troops, put up a more stubborn resistance in the jungle behind the sandy beaches, inflicting modest casualties on the German sailors.
On the west coast of North America, the news of the imminent establishment of the Indian Kingdom inspired all the Indians of the Americas and gave confidence to the natives, who had been bullied for centuries.
"Thousands of years ago, we were the same ancestors as the Han people!" Indians can often be seen all over the Americas with such proud claims, and the Indian leader You Xing'an, who has been approved by the Han Emperor, also kept running in San Francisco, "The day is coming when the Indians stand up and the Indians raise their eyebrows!" ”
Of course, this is nothing more than another trick played by Zhong Yi in order to control North America, and the so-called leader is simply a more famous, capable, but particularly obedient character that Zhang Houqun found among the Indians. The first two points are for reference only, and the most important point is the last, "You must be obedient."
Zhong Yi didn't plan to make a lot of effort to conquer North America and raise a white-eyed wolf.
It's okay to make an independent or reshuffle the government, even if the Imperial Army has the ability to stop it, it sounds like a trouble, doesn't it?
However, the person Zhang Houqun found was very obedient, a tribal leader who had immigrated to North America from South America. Hearing that as long as he was loyal to the Han Emperor, he could become the first prime minister of the Indian Kingdom, and this thing was so excited that he didn't even want his name, and begged His Majesty to give him a name.
Looking at the future "leader" of the Indians with great acting talent, Zhong Yi, who was a little crying and laughing, was also very satisfied, at least this guy was very on the road, and understood that the empire would definitely promote Han culture in the Indian kingdom.
Since the liberation of North America is a gimmick for sailing for 3,000 years, of course, the name of Youhou Xi cannot be abandoned, after all, in the legend, You Houxi and the army led by him are the ancestors of the Yin'an people.
As a result, this idea of His Majesty made the surname You the first major character of the Indian Kingdom, and after the founding of the Indian Kingdom, most of the people in the country changed their sex in the days when the whole country abandoned the West and the Han Dynasty. Anyway, just choose a surname, who doesn't want to have a relationship with their ancestors in history.
Until the new policy was introduced, Indians who had not changed their names after the specified time were randomly assigned surnames. The surname is very good, but nearly 10 million people in the country have a surname, so it is still ...... What is the unification?
"Damn, it's hard to even pick a name." You Xing'an is very proud of his foresight, with the current Chinese level of the Indians, there are only a few names that can be named, and everyone is not divided into men, women, young and old, and they are named in a unified manner, and most of the people who are called An Guo and Conghan must be called ......
Of course, among the various measures to "abandon the West and follow the Han", the important policy of changing the name promoted a very prosperous and quite high-ranking profession in the Indian kingdom - making names, which many people did not expect.
In 1950, when His Majesty the Han Emperor visited the North American countries of the Great Alliance such as the Wèn Indians, the Democratic United States and Mexico, he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw that most of the buildings on the streets of San Francisco were actually famous halls and famous restaurants.
……
The news that the German High Seas Fleet had captured the Bahamas and Dönitz had been transferred to Nassau as the temporary Governor of the Bahamas was transferred from King George VI of England to the Allied General Command in Europe. Xiao Guoxing was speechless about this, while Guan Canghai was directly rude: "Nima, the more mixed this goods are, the more mixed they go." The dignified navy actually hid in that small place...... What, old clock, where is the Bahamas? ”
Chung Tilt Kwok: ......
In the Battle of Celtic, the Red Shield fleet suffered heavy damage to the German High Seas Fleet and sank five German capital warships, including the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, at the cost of only nine carrier-based aircraft on its side.
Such a war report made the Red Shield royal family ecstatic, and the kingdom of Judah and all over Israel held enthusiastic ceremonies. In the minds of the Jews, this was even more exciting than the establishment of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.
His Royal Highness Haman, Prince of Judah, communicated with Israeli President Ben-Gurion and decided to designate September 20, the day of the Battle of Celtic Sea, as the Emancipation Day of the Jews, as well as important Jewish holidays such as the Sabbath and Yom Kippur.
The Red Shield Fleet became a heavenly soldier in the eyes of the Jews, and Airy naturally became a Jewish national hero. Even Zhong Yi in the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an also benefited from this, and the little princess who cried with joy did her best to wait for His Majesty all night.
When His Majesty walked out of the Lanfei Pavilion with his sore old waist in the early morning of the next day, he couldn't help but blush a little when he faced Qin Yingxue and Vivian, who were covering their mouths and chuckling in the hall of Jinhua Palace.
"Hey, hey! It's been a long time since I've been to the barracks, and I've been exercising less lately! ”
"Well, I think Your Majesty also needs to exercise a little more, Yao, you see Jiayi's sister's mouth pouting, your eccentricity makes people angry!"
"Huh? What's the matter, Sister Xue, you talk nonsense, I think you're jealous! ”
……
The wife was angry, and His Majesty smiled bitterly, "Damn, it's no wonder that the emperors of ancient times didn't live long, pink beauty, snow greasy white jade...... And that foxy and brutal little girl, if there is another daytime prostitution, sleeping with a big sleep, etc., who can stand such a temptation? ”
It's a pity that Zhong Yi's intention to be a faint gentleman is destined to fail, Li Jinshi and Li Dami's somewhat inopportune knock sounded outside the palace door, and Qin Yingxue and Wu Jiayi, who were making trouble together, hurriedly returned to their places and were busy cleaning up some messy clothes.
September in the southern hemisphere is spring. Wu Jiayi, who loves short skirts, has already changed into a thin shirt and pink skirt, just because after giving birth, the sudden growth of the twin peaks has made the goddess have a lot more mature woman demeanor.
