Kemal said: "How could such an important executive staff officer be captured? Will there be a fake in it? Or is it that the Axis powers deliberately gave me false news? ”

Li Guojun shook his head and said: "I have already reported this news, judging from some of the information transmitted back from the National Intelligence Agency, it should be true." This staff officer was going to a communications center in the rear of the enemy's army, and when he was planning to use the long-range radio station there to communicate with the headquarters, he was coincidentally captured by a small unit that we had penetrated into the depth of the enemy's position. ”

Marshal Kemal was still a little unrelenting, and he asked: "Maybe we can still solve this situation, can't we draw troops from across the strait and hold on to Istanbul?" As long as we have enough troops to hold here, and the strait is still in our hands, we can increase our troops. ”

Li Guojun said: "You and I have been in the army for many years and have rich combat experience, can't you see the current situation in Istanbul?" Don't let your judgment be skewed just because this is the capital, the depth of the Istanbul area is too small for too many troops to deploy. The current million-strong army of Istanbul is already so crowded that no number of them can be used, and from the information I have received, the Axis powers have sent a large fleet into the Mediterranean. Now this great fleet is coming towards us, and once they reach us, they will lose control of the strait. Without sea supremacy, there will be no logistical supply, and no matter how many people there are, it will only increase the enemy's capture camp. ”

"What?" Marshal Kemal exclaimed, and the news finally woke him up. If the Dardanelles and the Esphorus are cut off, all the million-strong troops fighting in the Istanbul area will be surrounded, and they will not only lose their way back, but even all supplies will be cut off, and what will be lacking here will be not only weapons and ammunition, but also more important food, which will undoubtedly be a fatal blow.

"Now our fleet, in order to avoid the opposing air force, has moved to the port of Batumi in the depths of the Black Sea, and there is no naval garrison in the strait, and once this place is cut off, we will lose our way out." Marshal Kemal's eyes were a little straight, today's news really shocked him, he was very excited about the results of the night counterattack, but he didn't expect that the current situation of the battle would take a turn for the worse, and they would soon be completely surrounded.

Li Guojun nodded and said: "Yes, so I hope you can persuade the royal family to transfer immediately, and later we will also withdraw the army, and everything must be fast, otherwise we will lose the last chance to survive." ”

The fleet that Li Guojun mentioned was discovered by a reconnaissance satellite in space, and speaking of this fleet, it is also related to the offensive of the Northern Route Army. Due to the two-sided offensive of the Axis Northern Route Army and the Northern Coalition Army of the Western Continent, the Cossack government army retreated to the capital Paladin Fort, but the fortifications there were extremely strong, and the two armies could not attack for a long time, and the two million Cossack troops held back the Axis troops twice as many as their own for several months, and because of the narrow sea there, the Axis fleet was often attacked by the Cossacks and the Chinese Air Force, not only did not play much effectiveness but also suffered a lot of losses.

Therefore, after the sea froze in winter, their fleet returned to the Saar Empire to rest, and when spring came again, the fleet also ended its renovation. However, Halsey decided that attacking the Yad Sea on the northern route was too narrow and vulnerable to the danger of shore-based aircraft, and that his fleet should abandon the northern route and start with the southern route. The Axis leaders also gave considerable recognition to Halsey's suggestion, so he transferred most of his fleet in the Yad Sea to the Mediterranean, joined up with the small fleet there, and led it by himself, threatening the Empire of Istanbul from the sea.

The rapid expansion of the Axis Mediterranean Fleet made it impossible for the Mediterranean Fleet of the Chinese Empire and the Empire of Islam to compete with it, and the Mediterranean Fleet of the Chinese Empire could only retreat to the vicinity of the Sinai Canal, relying on the land-based aviation there to operate under the cover of activities, and completely withdrew from the Dardanelles area, which caused the Empire of Islam to be cut off from the back route.

In the continuous high-intensity battles, although the troops led by Li Guojun fought bravely with Kemal's troops, but the Axis forces were too strong and occupied air superiority, so they also suffered heavy casualties, and it was only then that Abdul II found that the situation was not good, and under the persuasion of Marshal Kemal, he crossed the strait with the royal family and went to the Istan Peninsula, and Li Guojun's troops also withdrew with the imperial family as a guest army.

The dispute with Abdul II delayed time, and by the time the royal family and Wehrmacht had crossed the strait, the huge fleet of the Axis powers had already arrived in the Balkans, directly threatening the security of the strait, and it was no longer possible for the army to withdraw its troops to Istanbul through the Dardanelles.

Under the attack of both land and sea, the Islamic army of His Highness suffered heavy losses, and Marshal Kemal also mobilized ships from all over the country to transport his own soldiers back to the strait. The Chinese Empire also sent a large number of submarines to lay mines at the entrance to the strait, and fierce battles broke out in the skies between the air forces of the two countries and the Axis air forces, covering their retreat at the cost of blood.

The fighters of the two sides fought a bloody battle in the air, and Cai Tingyuan, the commander of the southern subcontinent, also dispatched part of the air force to the north to support, and even Gao Deyu temporarily transferred the air force from the middle to participate in the battle, and the number of planes over the strait between the two sides reached almost two to one.

Although the Chinese Empire was still at a disadvantage, their pilots were more skilled, and the Boston Empire's better-performing F86 fighters were only produced in small batches, and only more than 30 were equipped in the Southern Route Army. In a large air battle with thousands of aircraft, such a small number of aircraft could not play any role at all, so on the whole, the Chinese Air Force still had an advantage.

Although the F86 fighter was not equipped much, it still aroused the alarm of the Chinese Imperial military, especially the commander of the Air Force Chen Yu. This fighter with two 2,000-horsepower turbojet engines can actually enter supersonic speed when diving, this kind of aircraft is not only quite agile to operate, but also has a large load, in addition to six 12.7 mm machine guns, it can also carry 900 kg of bombs and eight 127 mm rockets, and its armament can be described as powerful.

The appearance of this kind of aircraft gave Fang Ruijun a sense of crisis, and he found that after the Chinese consortium no longer replaced new weapons for the country, the research and development capabilities of the Chinese Empire were actually inferior to those of the Boston Empire, so Fang Ruijun increased support for domestic scientific research institutions on the one hand, and ordered all aircraft factories to increase the production of Golden Eagle 5 fighters, and he was ready to fully reequip the Air Force.

For a long time, the Golden Eagle 4 fighter has been valued by Fang Ruijun at a lower price than the Golden Eagle 5 fighter, which is why he has not replaced the new fighter for the National Defense Force, because the Golden Eagle 4 fighter has only one engine, which is not only low in price, but also low in maintenance and support costs. The Golden Eagle 4 fighter has always suppressed the F84 fighter of the Axis countries, since it is completely sufficient, there is no pressure to change the equipment, but now it is different, after the appearance of the F86 fighter, the performance of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter has been somewhat insufficient, so the equipment update of the Air Force has been put on the agenda.

The Golden Eagle 4 fighter and the Golden Eagle 5 fighter are not the same manufacturers in China, the Golden Eagle 4 is authorized to be produced at the Northwest Aircraft Factory, while the Golden Eagle 5 fighter is authorized by the China Foundation to the Far East Aircraft Factory in Far East County, which belongs to the Zhongxia Foundation.

The Northwest Aircraft Factory does not have the strong background of the Zhongxia Foundation, but the young technicians of the factory are not reconciled, and after hearing that Fang Ruijun intends to upgrade the Air Force and eliminate the Golden Eagle 4 fighter, they began to conduct their own research, hoping to improve this aircraft and make it gain the favor of the Air Force again.

The hard work paid off, and under the research of the researchers of the factory research institute and the engineering technicians of the factory day and night, they soon launched an improved version of the Golden Eagle 4B fighter, and the previous fighter was renamed the Golden Eagle 4A.

This new fighter enlarged the body of the Golden Eagle 4A, its entire fuselage has been up to 11.26 meters, and at the same time, in order to increase the speed, they increased the sweep angle of the wings, and at the same time equipped with a more powerful 2,358 horsepower turbojet engine, although the horsepower of this engine is much smaller than the combined horsepower of the two F86 engines, but with a better aerodynamic layout design and a lighter fuselage, its speed has also reached 1,114 kilometers per hour, Not at all inferior to the F86 fighter.

In order to reduce weight, the Golden Eagle 4B fighter abandoned the weapon loading method of machine guns and cannons, and only equipped the aircraft with a 37 mm cannon and two 23 mm cannons. His weapons are more powerful than the F86 fighter, and this aircraft is more agile, because it uses one engine, its cost of construction and maintenance is more advantageous than the Golden Eagle 5 fighter and the F86 fighter with two engines.

After Fang Ruijun saw the performance indicators of this new aircraft, he immediately applied to the Congress, requesting that the aircraft for the National Defense Force be changed from the Golden Eagle 5 to the Golden Eagle 4B fighter. Because the new aircraft was cheaper and much more performant, Congress was happy to spend less, and they passed the resolution quickly after Air Force experts determined that the new aircraft could compete with the F86.

The replacement of fighters on both sides is a later story, and at this time the air is still a confrontation between F84 and Golden Eagle 4, and the pilots of both sides have used all their strength, and the battle losses are more than 100 every day.
