Chapter 717: Can't Stop at All (5)

By October of the year 2783 (1943), the situation in North Africa had taken a new turn.

Due to the strength of the wolf pack, a large number of supply and transport vehicles were sunk, resulting in a shortage of supplies in the North African theater. The German and Italian armies seized this opportunity and finally made a breakthrough in the North African theater, pressing the British and American troops south of the Tropic of Cancer and basically controlling the entire French North Africa.

It should be mentioned here that although Morocco and Algeria are still called "French North Africa", only a few port cities such as Algiers and Balat can really be controlled by France, and other places have become the battlefields of Britain, the United States, Germany and Italy. Both sides said, "The territory is still French, but we will return it to ......you when we fly the XX car."

Although the French are 10,000 reluctant, what can they say? They don't want to fight for a long time, they don't even want to fight on the domestic battlefield, who will go to work hard for the colonies? That is, they have to pinch their noses and admit the reality. Anyway, both warring sides have recognized their sovereignty, and China has come forward to endorse it, so it is good to get by.

As for Mali, Mauritania and other areas of French West Africa, Britain and the United States did not say whose it was, and Germany and Italy did not say anything. The French are of course also very self-aware, and although they say that it is French, they are only limited to lip service. Britain and the United States occupy the current line and continue to fight with Germany and Italy.

When Germany and Italy took full control of the Mediterranean, what the Portuguese Prime Minister had been fearing for a long time finally happened. The German-Italian army, which had made great efforts to drive the Anglo-Americans out of the Mediterranean, in this case, turned its attention to Portugal.

However, this time Germany and Italy did not directly attack Portugal, they planned a deceptive operation. They first sent the Mediterranean Fleet north, and at the same time attacked Lisbon and Porto and other places, making it look like they were going to land, but their real purpose was to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

After receiving Portugal's call for help, the combined fleet of Western Treaty led by the United States and Britain hurriedly rushed to the rescue. The location of Portugal was very important, and if it was occupied by Germany, the situation in the Atlantic would not be good, so it was necessary to prevent the Germans and Italy from landing on Portugal anyway.

So the British and Americans were fooled, and their fleet to reinforce Portugal was ambushed by the German and Italian fleets around the Azores. The Italian Navy performed extremely well this time, it was almost like a hang-up, first sinking three British and American aircraft carriers in one fell swoop, as well as the British Super Battleship Lion and the American battleship Mississippi.

Subsequently, the German-Italian fleet routed the Portuguese army in the Azores and successfully landed. True, this time the German-Italian fleet was indeed going to land, but their target was not Portugal itself, but the Azores.

The Germans did not take the resort for a hot spring vacation, but they were going to turn it into an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean and use it as an airfield to bomb the continental United States. Moreover, once this place is taken, it can also be used as a submarine attack base, which is to tighten the noose around the neck of the United Kingdom.

However, the Germans did not have long to be complacent, and they also suffered a blow that day. The operation of their high seas fleet to prepare for the opportunity to rush out of the North Sea failed.

Germany's high seas fleet was taking the Norwegian Sea Route, and they were preparing to bypass the heavily fortified Shetland Islands and enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Danish Channel between Iceland and Greenland. However, in the middle of the way, they accidentally discovered the location of an armed Icelandic fishing boat, and although they sank the fishing boat as fast as they could, the signal had already been given.

As a result, the five remaining regular aircraft carriers and five temporary aircraft carriers of the Western Covenant went all out, with more than 300 fighters urgently transferred to Iceland, plus the British home fleet, and gave Erdezi a hard blow. In this battle, two German heavy aircraft carriers (Count Zeppelin and Prince Heinrich) and four Seydlitz-class light aircraft carriers were sunk, and the super battleship Bismarck was sunk, which severely damaged the Queen of the North House.

Germany suffered heavy losses on the high seas and had to retreat to the North Sea. Therefore, in the Atlantic theater, Seeyo pulled back a game and did not completely lose his underwear.

Now, there is a lot of solid evidence, and the navies of the major powers have also changed their views. Even the most stubborn BB party had to admit that the battleships were outdated, and in the future the seas would be dominated by aircraft carriers. Therefore, almost all of the new naval construction of the great powers are aircraft carriers. At this time, the navies of various countries also realized that the bigger the aircraft carrier, the more cost-effective, the light aircraft carrier looks cheap, the construction period is short, but the defense is too low, it is easy to be caught in the soul. Therefore, several big hooligans are now starting to build aircraft carriers, all of which are heavy fleet aircraft carriers with a standard line of more than 60,000 tons.

Moreover, the United States, Britain and Germany have all begun to transform all the unfinished capital ships in the dockyard into aircraft carriers, but Japan, which is on the plane, was reminded by China to wake up a few years ago, and their Yamato-class built two and stopped playing, and replaced them with a 70,000-ton displacement "Ruilong-class" heavy aircraft carrier, which is actually a conventional power version of the Shanghai class.

At this time, the mustache also intends to make peace with the United States, and this tug-of-war of mutual bloodletting is really quite painful. Because the mustache had never imagined that he could completely defeat the United States, he was very puzzled and angry at the hostile behavior of the United States towards Germany. The cause of this war is the North Sea oil field and the Libyan oil field, and it has nothing to do with you and the United States! As for being so unrelenting? It's enough that you have occupied so much territory in Central Africa and West Africa, do you have to occupy everything?

But the olive branch handed out by the mustache was mercilessly knocked to the ground by the cactus classmates. Ghana did not disagree with the peace talks, but his offer was too high, and they demanded that the Allies completely withdraw from Africa, Belgium, Norway and the Azores. How could Germany agree to such conditions? The mustache meant that according to the current ceasefire in the area of actual control, whoever occupies it now will have who's territory.

The contact between the two sides ended unhappily.

Around the same time, Japan also approached the United States to see if they could sit down and talk. Like Germany, Japan's Kita Kazuki never had any delusional idea that he would be able to completely defeat the United States, and the difference in national strength between the two countries was too great, and if it weren't for the allies in the north who contained most of the United States' energy, Japan would not even be able to maintain its current results.

According to Japan's original plan, it was just trying to take advantage of the fact that the United States had no time to take advantage of the fact that the United States had no time to take advantage of the southern shares, create a fait accompli, and then force the United States to accept it. From Japan's point of view, the United States already has a large territory in Africa, so why do you want a local tyrant to come and compete with a working class like us for food?

But this plan failed because of the withdrawal of the Soviet Union. So Kita Yihui retreated and prepared to carve up South Africa with the United States, but he couldn't get all of it, and it was good to get half of it. The United States insisted that Japan must first withdraw from the occupied areas before peace talks, otherwise the volunteers would continue to fight, but this was something that Japan could not tolerate.

At this time, the People's Volunteers of the United States, which had suffered heavy losses in South Africa, also realized their own shortcomings, and the US military expanded too quickly and had too much cannon fodder, which led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army. In addition, the Japanese Air Force was always in an advantageous position, so the US pilots could not accumulate enough experience, and once they lost air cover, the ground forces became a live target for the opposing side. After this, MacArthur began to shrink his front, and instead of attacking with the main force except for interference, he tried to accumulate and train his troops, intending to wait until he had a large enough force advantage before attacking.

So the two sides continued to fight.

Hankyung.

Because Britain and the United States refused peace, Germany and Japan both sent special envoys to China, ready to ask China to mediate. They soon met with Wen Deji and asked the question, which they couldn't figure out.

Why did Britain and the United States suffer so much loss, and still cling to this little benefit? Can't they have fun with everyone?

Mustache and Kita Ikki may not understand, but Moon Tokuji is very clear. The reason is simple, this is the interest of the consortium.

Because at present, among the major powers in the world, whether it is China, Germany, Italy or the Soviet Union, they are all "countries that dominate capital", and even France and Spain, which are now restoring their imperial system, are also going down this road, and it is needless to say that their younger brothers are not to mention.

If there is a ceasefire in the current situation, the losses of the Anglo-American consortium will be too great, and their power will be seriously reduced, and they will completely lose the opportunity to turn the tables. They will gradually be eroded, squeezed, and eventually completely collapsed by the "capital at the disposal of the state". This kind of outcome is absolutely unwilling to see the Anglo-American consortium, so they must fight for a larger sphere of influence, which is also for their own survival space.

So, this is the truth of the Anglo-American bloc participating in this world war regardless of losses, for these plutocracy, the country is broken and broken, and it doesn't matter how many people die, as long as they still exist, then there is hope for the future, if they are all finished, who will care about the future of the country and the people?

"Because this is a war of capital! It is a battle for the survival of the international capital group! If they give in now, they will be doomed. Since this is the case, why don't they try their best to make a difference?" At the meeting with the special envoys of Germany and Japan, Wen Deji pointed out the essence of the affairs to the point.

At the same time, he was also sighing in his heart, the mustache and the northern Yihui were still too sweet.

"Your Excellency, do you have to defeat them once and for all in order to achieve peace?" asked the Japanese envoy Kuroshima in a dry voice.

I can't answer this question, because I don't know the psychological bottom line that these consortium forces can bear. ”

The German envoy Hess said angrily: "Mr. President, they are gambling with the fate of the whole country and the people!" Then he began to describe the great idea of the mustache, a united and harmonious European Union that would play happily with his friends.

As he spoke, he began to hack the Soviet Union: "...... And Stalin was a deserter in this war that decided the fate of the world, he betrayed socialism, and the USSR was a traitor in our socialist camp!"

"Please rest assured, China is also a socialist country, and we in China will unswervingly support your just cause!" Wen Desi also cheered them up.
