"Cunning old fox, how did Roosevelt become cautious in this plane? Isn't Lao Luo quite tough in history? The safety zone has been slid to a distance of nearly 700 nautical miles from Europe. Xu Jie couldn't help but shake his head. (Historically, in April 1941, the U.S. government announced the extension of the neutral zone to nearly 740 nautical miles off the coast of Spain, so that 80% of the Atlantic Ocean was included in the U.S. Navy's patrol range, and U.S. warships also joined the escort operation.) On October 17, 1941, the German submarine U568 torpedoed the American destroyer Karl, killing 11 people, and on October 31, the German submarine U552 sank the American destroyer Ruben James, leaving only 44 of the 159 crew members alive. Although the two sides did not declare war, the film has officially begun. Even without Pearl Harbor, the end result would have been a full-scale war between the United States and Germany! ）

However, Roosevelt also had a point, and if the British did not agree, the French Navy might not have taken action, and the Chinese and American fleets plus the Italian fleet might not have enough shore-based aircraft for each other. After all, the Italian sea-based aviation has already been depleted in the last battle. "The key is still the British! Historically, Zhang Bolin pursued a policy of appeasement, and I don't know what he will do now. Thinking about Roosevelt, who was a little cowardly, Xu Jie didn't have much hope for Chamberlain's attitude, but for the sake of Huaxia's interests, Xu Jie had to try it, just 1 hour after ending the call with Roosevelt. Xu Jie answered Chamberlain's phone again.

"Isn't it too risky to do that? If our fleet goes south, then the Germans will be able to drive their fleet to the doorstep of the British Empire. The Royal Air Force also invested considerable forces in Italy. Native defenses are tight. Chamberlain did not refuse as directly as Xu Jie thought. From the words, Xu Jie could feel that this matter was still negotiable.

"The British are essentially merchants!" Xu Jie scolded in his heart. Because the first battle ended in a draw. Therefore, Britain has always maintained a complete wariness of Germany. Especially after the outbreak of the war in Italy, some of the military-industrial potential of Britain was activated. That is, the British have begun to mobilize partially. Maybe Britain is inferior to Germany in terms of overall strength, but in terms of aviation, the British are still very strong, you know, since the beginning of the British air war, Britain's aircraft production capacity has skyrocketed! So much so that since then, the production capacity of the British Air Force has been stronger than that of Germany! Although by 44 years British aircraft production was inferior to Germany. But do not forget that a significant part of the British aircraft were Lancaster 4-engine bombers, if measured by the cost of American single-engine aircraft and 4-engine bombers. 4 to 6 such fighters as P51 would cost as much as a 4-engine bomber! After a few words of conversation, Xu Jie understood what Chamberlain meant, and the British were capable of ensuring the safety of their homeland, but if the fleet went south. It will not be possible to lock the German fleet in the North Sea. So what should Huaxia and the Entente do in this situation? In addition, if the British helped Huaxia, then how should Huaxia repay the British?

"If the German fleet leaves the North Sea and takes hostile actions, then we do not mind settling this problem once and for all with a superior fleet. The Confederate fleet was divided into two large parts, and we concentrated almost all of our forces. Xu Jie replied. In fact, one of the reasons why Xu Jie dared to say this was that Xu Jie concluded that Germany would not have a showdown with China and the Entente at this time, what was Germany's purpose? Occupation of Italy. If the Entente could withdraw from Italy, then add to that naval superiority. The Germans chose to go down the slope to get off the donkey is the most correct choice, so that everyone's face will not be so ugly. And not after getting Italy. Regardless of the wounds on his body and the other party's desperateness, Germany shed more blood than Huaxia and the Entente in a few months of fighting, and he needs to rest more!

Another reason is that Hipper's physical condition is no longer good, and he can't even perform his normal work. The veterans of the German Navy in World War I are now in the middle of the storm. The Kaiser's dissatisfaction and heavy pressure, as well as worries about the future, severely damaged the general's body. And now the German Navy has lost its authority and backbone, so this time the German Navy definitely does not want to fight! Since the other party has a probability of more than ninety percent that he will not fight, Xu Jie can naturally write a blank check! Cashing out is hardly considered anyway.

The real trouble is the second point! What the British want! Xu Jie proposed several suggestions, but the other party politely refused. And this result made Xu Jie very puzzled, Xu Jie thought that I was completely in accordance with the historical Lend-Lease Act! We can provide Britain with all kinds of supplies and weapons, and give very loose payment methods, and even accept some non-hard currency, such as Indian cotton or something! Why is this Brit still not satisfied?! What are you doing?! Xu Jie was very angry. Say what you want!

"Within three months of the start of the war, I hope that Huaxia will provide the British Navy with three standard fleet aircraft carriers and send volunteers to participate in the war against Germany. We will keep these personnel confidential. Try to avoid diplomatic troubles in your country as much as possible. Chamberlain made his own request.

"Three aircraft carriers and combat crews on them. This is not non-negotiable, but this fleet cannot be separated, and it must be placed under the command of the Chinese generals. We have the right to veto the battle plan. A few minutes later, Xu Jie replied, he could participate in the war, but he must not be cannon fodder, and he used the blood of the Chinese fleet and personnel to block the most ferocious attack of the Germans, Xu Jie was not so stupid. The three standard fleet aircraft carriers are very important even if they are taken to the United States in history, and the Americans only have 3 fleet aircraft carriers in the Battle of Midway, and even in the Battle of the Marianas, the United States has only 9 large fleet aircraft carriers, and the other 6 are 10,000-ton independent-class aircraft carriers. At the beginning of the war, when China had not yet mobilized, it was also a little difficult to come up with so many aircraft carriers!

"I want to make it clear that your country has more troops in Italy than in China, and although the Germans are mainly directed against the United States and France, if we do not act quickly enough, then the shape of the northern front may also deteriorate immediately! Now Italy has almost no coastal defense, and the other side can land at any place of their choice! Xu Jie once again pointed out that this operation is not only to save China, but more importantly, to save Britain itself, and not to put forward too high demands so that both sides will not end well.

"This requires the Admiralty to come up with a realistic plan. And we need to communicate with the Chinese fleet in the UK, if we can, I hope that General Yang Yonglin can quickly arrive in the UK, and then communicate on the cooperation between the two sides, and the US fleet and the French fleet will also be added, and we will convince the French, and I hope your country can convince the United States. Chamberlain weighed the conditions given by Huaxia, and it was not bad. As Xu Jie said, helping others is also helping yourself. But what he couldn't understand was why Huaxia would take the initiative to take such radical action? But if you don't understand, don't think about it for now. Since Huaxia provided enough rewards for this joint operation, the British also wanted to take advantage of the situation to get a decent ending.

After negotiating with the British, Xu Jie did not contact the French, after all, there were relatively few exchanges between China and France, in other words, France did not have much to attract the attention of China. However, the British had already accepted it, and the United States should say that at this time the four navies were enough to suppress the scattered Allied fleet. Don't be afraid of the Germans messing around! "In this way, you can probably make the Germans quiet for about 6 years, right?" Xu Jie muttered to himself.

If there are no major accidents, it will take about 3 years for European countries to completely get rid of the economic crisis, and the gap between the two sides may continue to widen in these three years, especially the United Kingdom and France. When emerging from the economic crisis, the Entente also needed time to activate their own production capacity. If Xu Jie is the emperor, if he wants to fight, he will start a war before the other party's production capacity equals his own! And what Xu Jie wants to do is to delay the time for Germany to start the war as much as possible!

Xu Jie, who hung up the phone, did not go back to rest. Xu Jie bets that there is at least a ninety percent probability that the Germans will not take drastic action, but what if the Kaiser takes a risk? Xu Jie didn't think that the four-nation fleet, which had never even conducted a joint exercise, could play combat effectiveness on paper! Huaxia's 3 aircraft carriers in Europe can't afford to make a mistake! "Tell Yang Yonglin that he is preparing to form an Indian Ocean detachment with two other aircraft carriers and his frigates. Scatter ocean-going submarines into the Gulf of Iran and the Arabian Sea. Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issue another announcement, saying that the Chinese fleet will go to British India to visit wèn! After looking at the map and thinking about it, Xu Jie said to the confidential secretary.

This is Xu Jie's backhand, if the Germans want to take a risk, Huaxia doesn't mind cutting off the Allies' sea transportation lines! It would be even better if the Turkish Navy could be picked up by the way! Before China completes fuel self-sufficiency, the Germans must not even have the guts to do it! Of course, with the so-called two-pronged approach of both soft and hard, if Germany does not move China's oil fields in the Middle East, direct trade between China and Germany can still continue.

Xu Jie's work tonight has a very far-reaching impact on the settlement of the Italian problem and even the future war, but it will not help the American and French troops in crisis on the Italian front, and De Gaulle and Barton are racking their brains to think about how to take Foinho back without air supremacy!
