Chapter 343: It's Not Just Manhattan
Operation "Longsword" of the Nazi Air Force stopped halfway.
The Red Banner Black Sea Fleet, after another frightened night voyage, finally sailed out of the narrow and slender Dardanelles. It can also be regarded as a tiger entering the mountains and forests, and a dragon diving into the sea.
Even Greece was still in the hands of the Germans, and the Aegean Sea was still within the reach of the Luftwaffe, but it certainly did not compare to the danger in the Turkish straits.
Čllyukov received another secret telegram from the commander of the Navy, Kuznetsov, with the content of a simple ...... Outrageous: Arish.
It is a place name. After the Allied liberation of Egypt, Ben-Gurion and the Jewish organization he led established a state in the Sinai Peninsula with the support of the Han Emperor. Following the establishment of the Kingdom of Judah by the Rothschilds on the island of Luzon, Israel, a second predominantly Jewish state, was also formally established.
Arish is a Mediterranean port that Israel has developed vigorously since its founding. The port of Arish, which can dock giant oil tankers, is well enough to provide much-needed maintenance and supplies for the Black Sea Fleet.
This was also one of the implicit conditions of the Harbin Treaty - to provide the necessary repair and supply ports for the Red Banner Black Sea Fleet entering the Mediterranean.
With this secret home port, Zyryukov was absolutely confident that he could turn the Mediterranean upside down, at least cutting off Germany's oil routes would not be a problem.
As the old saying goes: there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings. After the Northern Fleet crossed Gibraltar into the Atlantic, the turbulent Mediterranean fell into a temporary lull.
Although the strength of the Red Banner Mediterranean Fleet is not yet powerful, and it is far less than even a carrier battle group of the Han Royal Navy, in this vacuum period of naval strength in the Mediterranean, coupled with the covert support of the Han Dynasty, there is no problem in setting off a storm again. In particular, after the "Submarine Massacre in the Bay of Biscay", the submarines of the German Navy retreated to the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, completely ceding the Central Atlantic to the Atlantic submarine formation of the Han State.
The German U-submarine that sank the British aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal in Gibraltar is now extinct in the Mediterranean, which greatly boosts Chinlyukov's confidence in doing a great job.
And on the German side, after the battle in the Sea of Marmara, the calm was somewhat suffocating. Operation "Longsword" never seemed to have happened at all, the 1st Bomber Wing returned to Poland, and the 3rd Group of JG52, which was missing a squadron, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Steinhofer, also returned to the Volga front. The pilots were told that this unsuccessful operation would become the top secret of the Empire, and that any information about the operation would be punished for treason.
The squadron of "Black Knights" commanded by Captain Rupinsky was not reorganized, and the reason given by the Air Force Command was that the Führer sent this squadron of heroes on secret missions.
Well, during the war, there are many troops who will be suddenly sent on "secret missions", and it is an absolute honor to be personally dispatched by the Führer, although most of the troops who carry out "secret missions" will disappear from people's sight.
The calm of the Germans, in the Supreme Command of the Imperial Army, was considered a "great" victory, and many officers, including several marshals in the imperial capital, were talking about it: the Germans simply did not dare to go to war with the Reich. The disparity of 24 to 2 in the sea and air battle of Marmara completely shattered Adolf's "glass" heart, and anyone in such a military comparison would lose the courage to continue to provoke.
However, the Han Emperor, who had asserted that Adolf would not dare to tear his face before the action, returned to his office with a stern face when everyone was singing praises.
Wu Dami, who deliberately slowed his pace, swayed his graceful figure and walked over, like a docile little white cat, snuggled up to His Majesty's side, "What's wrong?" Everyone is so happy after winning the battle, why aren't you happy? ”
The corners of Zhong Yi's mouth were lightly raised, revealing a smile that was forced to be happy at first glance. Well, it's really fake, the goddess of martial arts who watched it frowned, "You don't want to be like this, I'm so scared!" ”
There is concern in the coquettishness, such an expression, such an action, all suggest that the goddess has been attacked.
Another good cabbage...... Well, in the words of Hebar, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Timor and the chancellor of the Exchequer of the Imperial Cabinet: the goddess is getting harder to find, but the princess is increasing.
Not long ago, when the Han Emperor inspected the Huangdao Company in Jiaozhou, a large photo of Wu Jiayi stepping off the special plane with His Majesty in his arms occupied almost the front page of all newspapers in South China.
Today, the people of South China are accustomed to the Allied victory, and the war seems to be getting farther and farther away from the Han Empire, except for some so-called special military brick-builders who still babble on television and in the newspapers about when the Allies will be able to liberate Britain, land in the Americas, or even the possible gains and losses of war with Germany. More people in the empire are concerned about whether "South China Troubled Times-3" will be filmed or not? Can the salaries of civil servants still rise? Can the immigration policy be relaxed? There are still a lot of relatives in China waiting to immigrate to South China!
Of course, gossip about Weiyang Palace often dominates the headlines. The addition of the royal family and the girl of which country His Majesty likes, are very popular with people.
After the goddess of martial arts made a public appearance with Her Majesty, many underground bookmakers in Nanhua opened handicaps. First, what will Wu Jiayi's title be? Concubine Wu? Hua Fei or something else? Buy one and lose ten, as long as you can guess it, you can definitely get rich overnight; Second, who will be His Majesty's next secretary or concubine? Alternate answer: Have a princess of the British royal family? Siberian beauty? A noble girl? Well, the odds on this market are low, buy one and lose five, because there are not many options left.
"Jiayi, you said that if it was you and you were bullied, you obviously had the ability to fight back against the person who bullied you, but you silently endured it! Why would that be? ”
"Hmm...... Dislike! His Majesty's question suddenly turned the big reporter's face red, and he twisted for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say in a voice like a mosquito singing: "She is in love with you!" ”
"What?" Zhong Yi really didn't hear clearly.
"You hate to die! I mean, she's willing to let you bully, she loves you! "The character of the goddess of martial arts is by no means as weak as it seems on the outside, she dares to love and hate, and she is an absolute woman in the new era.
"I ......," Zhong Yi slapped his forehead, "I'm asking about the Germans, it's Adolf!" ”
"You...... Uncle's! ”
"Ahh Help me! ”
"What are you shouting, I don't know if you want to stand up when the goddess is mad?"
"Uh......"
The royal guards in the corridor were still standing as tall as statues, but the corners of their mouths were raised to reveal that he could clearly hear His Majesty and the ...... The secretary's slapstick.
"Adolf is not a person who can endure, even if he doesn't dare to fight us immediately, but not saying a word is definitely not his style!"
If you know you best, then your enemy must be counted as one! In Zhong Yi's mind, the paranoid German Führer has always been an enemy who can be ranked in the top three.
Since you can't ask anything with a woman, the first choice to answer your majesty's questions is, of course, Director Mu.
In fact, Mu Yu must definitely be regarded as a stuffy gourd, but Zhong Yi just thinks that staring at his dead fish face can bring more inspiration.
"Adolf's silence this time is not normal, he must have been afraid. That's why he doesn't bother to quarrel with us, he's waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to give us a heavy blow! ”
There was no change on the face of the dead fish, just a polite nod to His Majesty's words. If he hadn't deliberately asked him, Mu Yu would rarely take the initiative to answer.
Zhong Yi didn't care, and was still analyzing the current psychology of the German Führer.
"What is Adolf's power? The German Army is very strong, but they can't swim to our South China, right? Needless to say, the Navy has been working on an aircraft carrier Grave Zeppelin for several years, and there has been no major movement. Air force...... He was just cleaned up by us, what else does he have to worry about? ”
The dead fish face still nodded, as if to ask with His Majesty, "What else does he have to rely on?" ”
"In conventional military operations, Germany has no advantage over us. Unless it's unconventional......"
His Majesty's self-questioning and self-answering were only halfway through, and he suddenly stopped, and the dead fish face also stood up suddenly, and when the eyes of the two men met, they both saw horror in each other's eyes.
Yes, it's horror. But what else in this world would make the Han Emperor and the head of the imperial spy feel frightened at the same time?
For a long time, Zhong Yi has attached great importance to nuclear energy research in the United States. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up some interests in exchange for the opportunity to end the European war early. The alliance with Turkey, the friendship between Italy and Spain, and even the withdrawal from the Iron Alliance, and the early confrontation with Germany were all preparations for landing in North America.
However, at this moment, Zhong Yi realized that he was only staring at the "Manhattan" plan of the United States, but ignoring Germany and Germany's "doomsday technology".
Since even the Go-229 can be born in advance, and even the side rotors can appear on the battlefield, is the rocket-powered aerospace plane about to form combat power?
And "nuclear", Germany's nuclear energy research is even one step ahead of the United States.
Mu Yu also thought of this, he wouldn't know about "Doomsday Technology", let alone the Silver Bird Aerospace Bomber, but he had seen the tragic situation after the explosion of "Little Naughty" in Qibu, Japan, in Director Mu's heart, would there be anything more terrible than a nuclear explosion?
Is Germany, like the United States, secretly researching the atomic bomb? Significant progress has even been made, such as the refining of nuclear raw materials such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239!
"Mu Yu, we need a German 'Delmar'!" His Majesty's expression was very serious.
- Delmar, code name of George Coval, a five-star agent of the Han Imperial Military Intelligence Agency, and a Jewish chemist. In the early years of the Great Migration, George immigrated to South China with his family, but then returned to Manhattan City University in the United States for special training, and soon joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States, where he worked on nuclear material extraction.
The presence of the Empire's five-star agents in the U.S. nuclear plant is the biggest reason why Zhong Yi slowed down the pace of his actions in Europe and instead considered a long-term layout.
However, it seems that after history has been changed beyond recognition, Zhongyi's prophet has lost his magic. At least in terms of "nuclear", the slow progress of "Manhattan" does not mean that Nazi Germany, like in its previous life, has no chance of being "nuclear"!
