ACT296: Pingduzhen Lu Da Bobo
When the Zhao ship was planning the "big construction", on the moon at the same time, the German expeditionary fleet, which had long been ready to go, quickly set off for Saturn, the outermost part, after learning that the "passage" had been opened. In order to occupy the Sudetenland on the territory of Lysis III, Hitler sent nearly one-third of the navy's ships in addition to 120,000 ground troops.
Although the Czech side was extremely angry at the "Munich Agreement" unilaterally signed by the four countries, it was unable to stand alone against the overwhelming German navy, so it could only choose to cede the Sudetenland in humiliation. And the reason why Hitler was able to drag it like this was that the strength of the navy was his greatest reliance.
The German Navy in this time and space benefited from the halving of the High Seas Fleet, and its strength was far more considerable than that in another time and space!
By the end of World War I, the German High Seas Fleet still had 19 battleships and 6 battlecruisers, as well as 2 Mackensen-class battlecruisers that were nearing completion. At the end of the war, because the Tang Dynasty intervened to mediate, the High Seas Fleet was not seized by the Allies to the famous Scapa Bay, but the size of the capital ships had to be cut in half.
The Germans, under pressure from both home and abroad, finally agreed to this solution, but again fell into disagreement with the victorious powers such as Britain and France in the way of reduction.
The idea of the Germans was to keep 10 battleships and 4 battlecruisers in terms of quantity, 2 Bavarian-class, 4 King-class and 4 Caesar-class on the battleship side, and 2 De Fleet-class and 2 Mackensen-class ships armed with 15-inch guns on the battleship cruisers, so that the naval combat power could be preserved to the maximum.
The British side obviously did not want the Germans to be satisfied, and they strongly demanded that the capital ships of the High Seas Fleet in service be divided into half according to the number and tonnage. The battleships retained 2 Nassau, 2 Helgoland, 3 Caesar, and 2 King, while the battlecruisers retained the Moltke, Seydlitz, and Hindenburg. 15 Bavaria-class battleships and 2 Mackensen-class battlecruisers armed with 2-inch guns had to be dismantled for "safety reasons"!
The representatives of both sides insisted on their own opinions, and at one time they were in a battle at the Palace of Versailles, and finally decided to give in to each other.
The British side agreed to let Germany keep the Baden-class second ship on the battleship. And preferentially retain 3 King-class and 4 Caesar-class, but in terms of battle patrol, it must be done in accordance with British requirements, dismantling two Mackensen-class, and only 1 De-Flinger-class and 2 Moltke-class retained with the core of God.
In addition, these retained warships are not allowed to undergo large-scale modernization and modification, and they are not allowed to upgrade the caliber and caliber of the main guns. The idea of the British is very simple, since they can't be completely annihilated and can only fight "half dead", then find a way to cut the opponent's legs short!
However, even the reduced and weakened half-price high seas fleet is far superior to that of a small country like Czechoslovakia. Especially after Hitler unilaterally tore up the "Versailles Treaty", the German Navy, which was growing rapidly, had faintly expressed that it wanted to return to the rhythm of the "first sequence"!
It is worth mentioning that Germany's forcible occupation of the Sudetenland this time was, on the one hand, to test the bottom line of Britain and France. On the one hand, it is also to get a "big rear" that is not easy for Britain and France to touch. The Czech Republic was unfortunately hit by Hitler because it had a fairly good industrial foundation, and the Sudetenland was just the first cut to the steak in this meal!
Before World War I, there were two major powers in the Saturn Circle, Tsarist Russia, which occupied Saturn, and Austria-Hungary, which owned most of Saturn's moons. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was dismembered after its defeat, and Czechoslovakia was one of the countries that became independent at that time.
However, the Czech Republic, which received only one-fifth of the land and population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, inherited 80% of the industrial capacity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Among them, Enceladus was an "industrial satellite" that Austria-Hungary focused on operating out of strategic considerations.
In order for Germany to go to the periphery to play with Maozi, Britain and France gave Hitler such an important area.
After the departure of the German Expeditionary Force. All the way through Mars, the Broken Star Region and Jupiter, the three gates, and arrived at the Saturn field. However, when they entered the delivery area of the Saturn Gate, they found that the team that had come to "greet" them was in addition to the expected Soviet Red Navy. And a bunch of guys that surprised them a little - the Polish Navy!
Just like in another time and space, the big wave here also jumped up and down in the years before World War II!
Since the restoration of independence in 1918, Poland has been the most obvious expression of hostility towards the Soviet Union in the "Eastern European system". With British funding, they developed a space navy with obvious targeting. With up to 40 destroyers and 3 "heavy artillery cruisers", he is the only guy in the Saturn circle who dares to argue with Mao Zi when nothing happens.
As the only planet in the known star field to have rings, the floats of Saturn's rings are far less delicate than those of Jupiter's rings. The bad Cheng dรน here can be said to be second only to the Broken Star Zone. Small, nimble and maneuverable ships often have an advantage over clumsy large ironclads here, and the Polish Navy, nicknamed "Kindergarten", was purpose-built for this environment.
In order to deal with the three Gangut-class battleships of the Soviet Red Navy, the Polish Navy specially purchased three 7,000-ton light cruisers from the British side, and frantically equipped them with two single-mounted 11-inch heavy guns. The Poles believed that these three heavy gunboats could rely on the complex environment of Saturn's rings and effectively use their flexible advantages against Soviet battleships.
Therefore, Poland, which thinks that it has excellent strength and strong foreign reinforcements, does not take the close woolly bear in its eyes at all.
I have an 11-inch gun, are you afraid? I have an alliance between England and France, so I ask you if you are afraid!?
When the Germans arrived, the first to meet them were the destroyers of the Polish Navy, and the other side even used a very strong wording on the public radio channel, demanding that the German troops who crossed the border leave the circle of Saturn immediately, otherwise they would be unkind!
The German ships, which were scattered on the periphery of the projection area, ignored each other's so-called warnings. According to the original plan, it was quickly integrated into six sub-fleets, and then sailed head-on to the forbidden war field in the delivery area, advancing to the predetermined assembly track.
The Polish Navy obviously did not expect that the other side would really dare to ignore itself, so the ships hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to form a "ship wall" to block the other side's passage. But in the face of the German Caesar-class battleships with a tonnage much larger than ten times their own, the Polish schoolchildren finally retreated obediently to the side because they were afraid.
Looking at the inconsistent Polish Navy, the German commander sneered disdainfully.
"A bunch of self-defeating guys!" (To be continued......)
PS: "independence" refers to Germany, "dew" refers to Russia, and big waves...... It's Big Bobo!
In addition, since readers generally report that stand-in tactics affect reading, then I will not use it in the future.
PS: I have to make up 9000 today! Even if I didn't get the chapter that I couldn't send before 12 o'clock yesterday, I even have to be a 5-watch party for a day QAQ!
