ACT407: Humanity needs war

On January 15, 1940, at the request of the "Dispatch Fleet", the French government decided to send another reinforcement to the Shattered Star Zone in response to possible "special events". The decision meant that the French navy would place nearly two-thirds of its capital ships far from its homeland.

The tragedy of Jutland during World War I left the French impressed by the catastrophic consequences of low-earth orbit combat. Therefore, both the people and the government supported the idea of "fighting a decisive battle offshore", believing that it was a brilliant idea to place the defense line in the deserted Shattered Star Zone.

Out of sight, out of mind, don't disturb my local singing and dancing when you fight!

With the support of this mentality, the French people happily sent off their elite fleet to overseas, leaving only some old ships with backward performance to watch their homes. The country's defenses are unprecedentedly weak, but France's military is not worried.

The military believed that Venus was their home turf, and that the only country here that still had some strength was Italy, which was still making up for its industrial system, and the German infantry divisions stationed in Austria were completely ignored by the French army. Venus has the "Maginot Fortification" defense system that they have operated for many years, and their army is not afraid of any opponent when it comes to ground warfare.

And if there is a space war, there are 3 Corbe-class and 3 Brittany-class capital ships left on the mainland, plus the soon-to-be-completed Richelieu-class No. 2 ship "Jean. Barr", they still have 7 battleships available on their home soil, and the quantity and quality are not as good as the Italian Navy.

Even if necessary, they can call for support from the British Royal Navy on Mercury, as long as they can block the main force of the new high seas fleet in Germany in the alien ring, and the hometown can rest easy!

In fact, the French idea is still very reasonable, after all, in the vast space, if a fleet wants to attack another planet hundreds of millions of kilometers away, then they can only use the stargate to jump in the order of arrangement. And this is equivalent to giving the defender some defensive focus.

From Saturn to Venus, there are a total of 6 star gates to pass along the way, and whichever one of the French gets stuck can play a role in blocking the Germans.

However, as many human scholars have speculated, the stargate was indeed a controllable teleportation facility during the ancient human period. The user is free to choose where they want to teleport and does not need to jump one by one in order, but unfortunately this controllability is no longer effective after the fall of the ancients.

Thor had tried to gain access to the three Stargates in the Shattered Star Zone, but none of the requests were answered, and the Stargates refused to accept any outside signals. And it was because of the attempt, that when Thor found out that someone had done something he couldn't do. I feel very unhappy!

"Thor, you mean, someone is tampering with the jump channel, is that right?"

"Hmmm! And after curing, it is likely that a permanent channel will form. ”

"Is that so? Let me think...... Thor, have we made any recent discoveries in those scouts left on Saturn? What were the respective movements of the Soviet army and Germany? ”

According to Zhao Jian's request, Thor showed the other party all the information about Saturn that the reconnaissance station had collected in recent months. Dozens of light screens appeared in front of Zhao Jian in an instant, and there was a text report compiled by Thor. There are also high-altitude footage filmed.

The reconnaissance station is essentially a well-maneuverable spy satellite, and even when shooting on the ground in low-earth orbit, the picture is quite clear. Zhao Jian has been busy with the Shattered Star Region and Mars recently, and basically doesn't pay much attention to Saturn.

pass guò these information. Zhao Jian found that the area around Saturn has really not been very peaceful recently. The Soviets may have been itching to see the Germans grabbing land, so Da Linzi set his ill-intentioned eyes on Finland next door. By early January, the Soviet Union had amassed more than 300,000 troops along the border with Finland. There are more than 1,000 armored aircraft and more than 800 aircraft.

On the other hand, Finland is so vulnerable!

At this time, Finland has a population of less than 6 million. The standing army is more than 40,000 troops, although it has been in the military since the end of World War I, and has received funding and training from many Western powers such as Britain and Germany, but the overall magnitude is too different.

It is worth mentioning that before Zhao Jian set up his own door, he once sold a batch of individual bazookas to Finland, it is said that the other party felt good with it, and the soldiers gave praise after the exercise, so Finland ordered another batch from the Datang State Arsenal, and these weapons are estimated to be used on Lao Maozi soon.

Compared with the blatant deployment of the Soviet army, Germany on the other side was much more cautious. So far, the millions of German troops stationed on Titan seem to have seen little clue other than a significant increase in their daily training. However, Zhao's reconnaissance station found that shipyards in Poland and Czechoslovakia were currently working hard to build a rudimentary transport ship.

This boxy and angular "iron box" can be said to have no ship appearance just by looking at the appearance, but it also greatly simplifies the production process, and does not even need a special shipyard, and there is a large enough open space to start construction, so the construction speed is very amazing.

In just one year, thousands of such iron box ships have been produced!

Germany claims that the humble ships were not built for military purposes, but for more efficient migration and delivery of Titan-produced ore to the world. But until now these ships had only sent a few batches of iron ore to Japan, an ally of Germany, and had been idle for most of the rest of the time.

Combined with the information at hand, Zhao Jian seemed to understand the plans of the Germans.

"In this way, the Germans have almost prepared the conditions for the start...... But who will be targeted? France? It is indeed the most likely, but it does not exclude the Anglo-American ...... it! What am I thinking about all this for!? ”

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Jian suddenly found that he was thinking a little too much! Not to mention whether he was now capable of stopping the Germans' movements, it was up to debate why he should do so.

True! From a purely human point of view, preventing the Second World War, the greatest war catastrophe in human history, could indeed save many lives. But Zhao Jian, as a person who has come over, also understands that this war also has its positive side.

Not to mention the progress in science and technology, this war should be regarded as the largest collective negative release of human society in a sense. Without the tragic pain of these wars, the living would not have cherished this seemingly cheap peace in their hands!

Therefore, even if Zhao Jian stops the pace of the Germans now, at most, it will be a survival for the world for another year or two. Human beings will never wake up until they destroy some irreplaceable treasures with their own hands! (To be continued......)

PS: After the title of this chapter was written, even I found it ironic. I believe many people understand that we are "remembering what we eat but not remembering" many times. More than once, when I was shivering and "gliding" in the second half of the night, I vowed never to eat those messy street food again, but after my stomach was healed for a while, I couldn't control my mouth again.

Never mind! Without further ado, I'll go squat for a while......
