Chapter 512: Hero Krim (II)
PS: Thank you for the 2 monthly tickets voted by the book friend "Wangyun Mountain People", and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^
In just a few years, Kerim started with an armed tribe of less than 1,000 people, and in the face of the Spanish and French colonizers with advanced weapons and large troops, he won great and exciting victories again and again, and almost succeeded in achieving national liberation and national independence; His glorious record of destroying more than 100,000 Western colonial troops is also the only one seen in the modern anti-colonial struggle, and even the great men were fascinated and sighed after hearing it (Note 1), and although Kerim was defeated and imprisoned, he still became a well-known national hero in Morocco, and the Moroccan people have never forgotten him in history.
Therefore, Hu Weidong confidently believed that if he could be rescued and brought to Morocco to ascend to the heights, he would definitely be able to quickly form a prairie fire, and the Spanish Civil War had not yet completely ended (Note 2), so it would be powerless to suppress it, so it could only be solved by France, and once the flame of the uprising was ignited, it would be impossible for France to extinguish it without sending more than 300,000 troops and naval forces.
In this case, unless France carried out a general mobilization (the cost of a general mobilization was very high, and in the case of Germany's fierce eye, unless it was an existential situation, it would be impossible for Britain and France to carry out a general mobilization. Otherwise, they will definitely not be able to increase their troops in Indochina, and there is even a high possibility that they will withdraw troops from Asia, after all, the North African colonies are far more important to France than Indochina, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army is only dealing with those enemy forces in Indochina at present, which is absolutely fine. And when France destroyed Krim, then the Germans should also do it, right?
It is not an easy task to save people, especially it is necessary to ensure that people are brought out alive, but it has been more than ten years since Kerim was imprisoned, and the defenders of Reunion Island are estimated to have changed a few times, and now I don't know the prestige and deeds of the prisoners, plus there has been no accident for so many years, the French will be a little lax, so the rescue still has a chance to succeed. However, Hu Weidong's greatest source of confidence is the special forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Due to the continuous increase in training time and the rapid expansion of the screening base. Today's Chinese special forces are far more elite than they were at the beginning, and their understanding of special operations is far from comparable to that of the beginning, and for the success of this operation, some weapons and equipment that are currently only Shiyan models have also been put into use in advance
The first teardrop-shaped verification submarine, trial-built in cooperation with Germany, honorably took on the heavy responsibility of transporting personnel in this mission. After removing all non-essential loads and replacing them with fuel and daily necessities. This submarine, which was originally only used for Jishu verification, has an incredible endurance. It can sail for more than two months without receiving any supplies, with a range of more than 20,000 nautical miles (historically, the German-built Type 21 teardrop-shaped submarine had a range of more than 15,000 nautical miles, and it was full of weapons). )。 It can almost circle the globe, which allows the submarine to send Kerim directly to Morocco in one go after rescuing him from Reunion Island
However, since the submarine can still carry a maximum of 80 people (mainly people to eat, drink, and Lazar), the fresh water and food consumed for two months are far greater than the weight of guns and ammunition needed for a battle. In order to ensure that he could deal with the defenders on Reunion Island, Hu Weidong decided to divide his troops into two routes, first sending some special combat personnel disguised as civilians to take a German or other country's merchant ship to Reunion Island in the name of "tourism" (Reunion Island is a Shijie-class tourist resort) to go to Reunion Island to hide, and at the same time be responsible for various preparations for the raid, such as reconnaissance of the enemy, especially to find out where Krim was being held first. And when the submarine arrives on Reunion Island and the two sides meet, they can receive weapons and ammunition from the submarine and launch an attack by surprise
Even the drop-shaped submarine, which is faster underwater, is more fuel-efficient for water navigation (underwater navigation relies on electricity, and the electrical energy is charged into the battery pack by diesel engine power generation, and the efficiency is certainly not as high as directly using diesel engines to drive). In order to avoid being discovered by ships or planes from other countries, especially Britain and France, Hu Weidong specially installed a built-in warning radar for the submarine, and when it surfaced, the radar antenna was raised for vigilance. And this radar is really easy to use, the submarine drove safely to Reunion Island without any danger along the way
Although Kerim has been under house arrest for more than ten years, the French have not treated him too harshly in order to appease the people of Morocco, and even Kerim usually has French newspapers to read, well, this is actually the French bullying him for not being able to read French, but who knows that Kerim actually relied on a dictionary and talking to the French soldiers who guarded him, and mastered French and French to the extent that he was proficient, and he also mastered the fourth language, in addition to this, he also tried his best to learn all kinds of new knowledge, Ignoring the hopeless future he might never get out of, by 1940 Kerim was a knowledgeable elder who knew five languages (including English).
Note 1: Lamenting that Morocco was congenitally deficient, with insufficient population, long and narrow territory, and close to the sea in Europe, all of which were extremely beneficial to Western colonization and extremely unfavorable to the rebel army, and it happened to be after the end of World War I, and France had spare strength to solve the matter. Even if the great man himself were faced with the same conditions, it would have been difficult for him to lead the people of the whole country to win independence and liberation.
Note 2: Due to the butterfly effect caused by Hu Weidong's crossing, the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War was much stronger than in history, mainly because the cheap and high-quality Stern submachine gun was of great help to the Republican soldiers who were generally untrained, and the advantage of more veterans of the Nationalist Army was greatly reduced, and the secret cooperation between Germany and China occupied a lot of resources, so that their assistance to the Nationalist Army could not be compared with history, so the strength of the two sides of the Spanish Civil War was more balanced, and the civil war continued to this day. This has undoubtedly caused great harm to the Spanish people, but it is greatly beneficial to Hu Weidong's overseas layout (to be continued......
