Chapter 301 World War II 2

Hu Chuyuan is very concerned about the changes in the world situation, but he is also more concerned about another problem - the giant spirit god plan. He knows that even if Li Kaiye and Cai E do not complete this difficult task in the end, as long as his filing plan is successful, China can still be invincible.

This day, Hu Chuyuan prepared a table of meals at home and asked people to invite Cai E, who was busy.

The banquet is very simple, with four dishes and one soup, only him and Cai E.

Cai E came very early. He came after four o'clock in the afternoon. When he entered the study and saw Hu Chuyuan, he bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Chairman!"

Hu Chuyuan didn't expect him to come so early. He felt a little strange at this moment, but he didn't say anything. He asked Cai E to sit down first and slowly made a pot of oolong tea.

After waiting, Hu Chuyuan and Cai E asked, "Don't you have so many things to do today? Why did you come so early?"

Cai E smiled bitterly and said, "I knew that the chairman would ask me to ask questions, so I was always prepared. Things were scheduled to be done in the evening. I'll come and report to you first."

Hu Chuyuan waved his hand and said, "It's not a report. I'm just curious. Yang Zhenlin is not the kind of person who can't fight a hard battle. Why don't you let him attack Moscow and let the Russians continue to remain like this? It's not a good thing after all!"

Cai E said, "President Li and I have carefully analyzed that the current overall strength of the Russian army is still there. They have already moved to St. Petersburg for the first time. At this stage, even if they beat Moscow, it is of great practical significance. The total strength of the Russian army is still there. Their tanks are very rough and durable, and it is easy to produce in large quantities. Once they are firmly occupying the Kursk region, they are likely to capture Ukraine in a short time. If so, even if we capture Moscow, we will fall into greater difficulties.

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Kursk is still very important to Russia."

Cai E said, "The thin camel is bigger than the horse. No matter how depressed Russia is, it is also Russia. They still have the ambition to become a great power again. Their soldiers are indeed more heroic and good at fighting than we expected. The example of sacrificing personal anti-explosive bags to blow up our tanks is very common in the Russian army. Moscow has a special significance for the Russians. If they have to attack, Yang Zhenlin's forces gathered outside Moscow are still relatively difficult. It is likely to drag it until the cold winter, and once the logistics supply can't keep up, there will be problems. He is also more afraid of this. We now ask him to withdraw the main force to Kursk, and let Jiang Guangnao lead the second and fourth armies of the northern line to defend the Volga River basin. In this way, Yang Zhenlin can get a large amount of supplies from Ukraine, and Jiang Guangna's supplies are not a problem. In particular, Ukrainians are now angry and ready to participate in the war, so we can make full use of Ukraine's power!"

Hu Chuyuan thought for a period of time and felt that such an idea was still very good. Instead of rushing to win some symbolic victory, he continued to fight against the enemy for a long time in terms of grand strategy.

He suddenly asked Cai E, "The Russians beat Kursk so easily, and you reacted so quickly and drove others out again in less than a month. I think this is your strategy, right?"

Cai E smiled and said, "It's not a good strategy, but we just received the information that Britain asked the Russian army to capture Ukraine and Poland, and was willing to support a large amount of military equipment of the Russian army. The Russian army did seem to have this plan, so we deliberately relaxed for a period of time. Let the Russian army attack south.

Hu Chuyuan said, "This method is good!"

He couldn't help sighing.

Then he asked Cai E, "At present, what do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Cai E pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman, in fact, I think we basically have an 80% chance of winning. No matter what the United Kingdom and the United States think, a very important key point is the production capacity and resource supply of military weapons. We still have an absolute advantage in this regard. After hitting Australia from the beginning, this is to open a small hole, which is slowly getting bigger and bigger. It can be said that we rely on the resources of the whole Eurasian continent and Australia and Africa, and they only rely on the resources of the Americas. In fact, the war has been divided. Our current task is to continue to consume our opponents and wait until the right time to make full efforts. We are consuming drastically with our opponents in the Western European battlefield, which makes it impossible for the Russian army to get enough support, and our military industry is also manufacturing and producing rapidly. Within a year, the gap between us and the Russian army in military equipment will be very obvious. Starting from the Russian army to break through, once we defeat the Russian army, we can fully enter the European battlefield. During this period, we still have to ensure the balance of the navy. If the navy can't restrict the American and British navies, the ending will be a little hard to say!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Cai E said, "The problem now is that the U.S. Navy can mobilize on both sides of the Panama Canal. It takes too long for our navy to rush back to the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean. We have also considered attacking Panama, which is of little significance, unless it directly blows up the Panama Canal. Now that I think about it, the best way is to station a larger fleet in Pearl Harbor to attract the U.S. Navy to prepare for a decisive battle in the Pacific Ocean at any time. In addition, try to support the Combined Mediterranean Fleet to ensure access from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "It's up to you. How to fight? This is your business, as long as you think this is the best choice."

Cai E said, "I see, Chairman. Regarding this war, although we are better prepared, it will take at least a year for the general to reach the peak. At this time, we will fight to the death with our opponents. If we win, we will win to the end. The enemy has nowhere to escape, and if we lose, we will be defeated!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled bitterly.

If China is defeated in one place, it is not a defeat in one place. It is precisely because of this that Cai E did not dare to take risks outside Moscow and re-act the brilliant record of occupying Moscow.

This is commendable.

A large-scale war of this scale is not forced to be helpless, and it is true that stability should be the first.

...What's wrong with the French?

Did it consume all the spirit and courage in the great Napoleonic era?

This question really makes the whole world sigh for it!

Sino-German VS British, American, French and Russian, from the perspective of cards, the Atlantic Alliance has more advantages, but when it only took the Germans a month to let France fall, France's entire industrial production capacity and the military materials that have been prepared in the past few years belong to Germany. After the people, the whole war has gone to another kind of collapse.

If any point in this World War II had the greatest impact on the whole situation, there is no doubt that it was the rapid defeat of the French. More than three million Atlantic allied forces could only withdraw to Britain and Spain in confusion, and more French troops could only surrender on the spot.

With the establishment of the French temporary political axe, France withdrew from the Atlantic Alliance and re-transferred to the Asia-Europe League camp. Its combat effectiveness is not worthy of attention, but its industrial production capacity is enough to disgust the entire Atlantic Alliance.

From the bottom of my heart, the French have been very active throughout the preparation stage. Their investment in the development of tanks is almost second only to that of China and the United States, and even more than that of Britain.

Hakis H-39, Renault R-35, Renault R-37, Somoa S-35 and Charles B1 are the five main types of tanks in the French army, of which Renault R-37 alone is equipped with more than 3,000.

At the overall level, Renault R-37 is the last light and medium-sized tank developed by France before the war, with a body weight of 12 tons. Except for the slight lack of power system, other parameters are even better than PZI tanks.

For a long time after World War I, Germany could not develop tanks and armored vehicles. However, through the internal cooperation of some military enterprises, some engineers participated in the research of China's tank system engineering in China and Mercedes-Benz and other companies. Since 1930, Germany began to systematically introduce new ones from China. T-20 and T-25 series tanks, and on this basis, imitate new tanks that better meet their requirements.

Relying on the control of the Fukang consortium, the development of Germany's armored vehicle and tank manufacturing industry was very rapid. By 1933, Germany's military manufacturing capacity had once again surpassed that of Britain and France.

The 15 giants of Germany's current military industry are BASF Chemical, Ops, Siemens, German Thyssen Iron and Steel Group, Kryp Mechanical Heavy Industry, German Rhine Metal Company, Volkeng Heavy Industry, Mercedes-Benz Company, MAN Company, Bogward Company, Henscher Company, Meseschmidt Aircraft System. Factory, Bavarian Aircraft Factory, Bavarian Machinery Factory, Royal William Shipyard.

Among them, the seven enterprises controlled by the Fukang consortium are BASF, Ops, Siemens, Thyssen Steel, Krugberg Machinery, Mercedes-Benz and Volcang. The German Rhine, MAN, Bavarian Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and Bavarian Machinery Manufacturing Factory also have shares of the Fukang Consortium.

The best tanks, aircraft, warships, guns, ammunition, explosives and artillery in active service in Germany are almost all provided by the companies of the Fukang consortium. After the rapid occupation of France, the Fukang consortium immediately attacked and used the original connections and roots of the Fukang consortium in France to quickly integrate the French machinery and chemical industry. , implement holding and equity participation in Renault, Somia, Alstom, Peugeot, Citroen, Saint-Nazar Shipyard, French Chemical Company and other giant enterprises, and organize these enterprises to quickly invest in new production.

In fact, the truth behind this situation is that the Fukang consortium defeated the British and American consortium, while the British, American, French and other national consortia and capitalists spent a huge amount of money to recover the French industrial shares from the Fukang consortium, and almost returned to Fukang Finance at the lowest price. Under the banner of the group.

While integrating French industry, the Fukang consortium also re-established a new memorandum of cooperation with French capitalists. The two sides forgot the past and began to look forward to new cooperation and new common interests.

Interests.

This is the eternal main theme.

Many years later, if the ultimate winner of this war is indeed the Asia-Europe League, people need to look back on this period of history and never forget why the defeat of the French was so fast that the whole Atlantic Alliance was in crisis.

After the effective integration of the French military industry, everything was the same as Cai E's initial estimate. In 1941, the military strength of China and Germany reached an unprecedented peak.

As of April 1941, in the army, the T-30 series tanks have become the largest tank in human history, with 57,542 units produced in the entire Asia-Europe League, 21,400 T-35 series tanks, and the total production of TZB-33 series armored vehicles reached 52. 300 vehicles.

Zibo Aircraft Manufacturing Factory did not disappoint Hu Chuyuan. The F-20 propeller fighter they designed surpassed the P47 and other fighters, quickly becoming the most common fighter in World War II, with the strongest fighting ability and survival ability.

Compared with the Atlantic Alliance's P47, P51, La-7, and the larger Mk5\9 Spitfire fighter, the F-20 Black Hawk has an engine power of 1822 horsepower, while the opponent's engine power is MK3, which is still 120 horsepower. Force.

The design basis of the F-20 itself is to first adapt to the high-power engine, and then take into account the pneumatic layout. In order to maintain low weight, high survivability, high fuel load and other problems, especially to face the low wing load of the zero series, it is relatively strange in the whole pneumatic layout, and the upper line is relatively flat. The lower abdomen is large, and the overall shape is similar to P51.

The instantaneous power and maneuverability of the F-20 Black Hawk fighter are very strong, the firepower is large, the pilot's field of view is very large, and the speed and range are also in the first-class ranks. The main feature is that the large area is made of high-strength aluminum-titanium alloy, which has special protection for key positions such as fuel tanks.

After the F-20 Black Hawk fighter entered service, it received very good reviews. Major domestic military manufacturing enterprises and Bavarian aircraft manufacturers are speeding up production. In just one year, more than 8,000 aircraft have been produced, becoming the ace killer in the air battlefield of the whole world.

In the air force competition between Britain and Germany, Black Hawk fighters even created a Black Hawk nightmare corridor.

As of April 1941, the Chinese navy had 12 Novosibirsk-class aircraft carriers, 22 Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers and 25 307-class escort carriers. There were as many as 72 new cruisers in service during the war, 225 destroyers, and the aircraft carriers under construction are still planned to As many as 14 ships.

This is an era of continuous technological progress and renewal. From the production of the F-20 Black Hawk fighter to today, there have been three technical transformations in just a year and a half, and six models have been derived. There are also two models of the corresponding carrier-based aircraft F-202 series. The latest model has been replaced with the griffin engine. Up to 2,000 horsepower.

Even so, Black Hawk is still the last glory.

The complex competition between F-7 and F-8 was finally won by the F/FEI-8 series. The F/FEI-8 series with air intake on both sides is unprecedentedly matched with the airborne radar made by Shanghai Electric Company. Although the power is not large, it can also be regarded as an epoch-making model with ten years of technology. Accumulation, development and testing have made the F/FEI-8 series surpass the F/FEI-7 series from birth.

In order to adapt to the plan of naval carrier aircraft, Jiangnan Heavy Industries actually designed the F-8 and FEI-8 separately in the long-term competition with Hyundai Heavy Industries. Except for most of the same application materials, components and engines, FEI-8 carrier-based aircraft and F-8 jet fighters are essentially completely It belongs to two kinds of fighters and corresponds to two completely different design parameters.

This strategy made Jiangnan Heavy Industries laugh to the end. It had the upper hand in the bidding of the air force and navy. Although Hyundai Heavy Industries failed miserably in the new aircraft project, and even suffered heavy losses in transport aircraft, early warning aircraft and other contracts, only the helicopter project won, but after all, they also won two consecutive victors in the new aircraft carrier plan. The bureau not only holds the manufacturing contract of the Novosibirsk-class aircraft carrier, but also won the pre-research funds for the next generation of Omsk-class aircraft carriers, and still maintains the hegemony of warship manufacturing.

The competition between Jiangnan, Fuguo and Hyundai in the new generation of jet transport aircraft, destroyers, submarines, long-range bombers, cruisers, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery and missiles continues fiercely. Even in the project of automatic rifles, the three major heavy industry is also fiercely entangled, although the major shareholders are Fukang. Consortiums, but they all belong to listed companies, and they must have their own interests to pursue and protect.

According to the needs, they also continue to implement joint production and cooperate with each other. Even if they fail in the project of jet fighters, Hyundai Heavy Industries will still produce for Jiangnan Heavy Industry and provide engines and spare parts.

The sudden appearance of the F/FEI-8 series of fighters has opened a new starting point in the history of the entire world air force. A new era has been opened. The F-20/202 series of propeller fighters have really become the last song. At the same time, facing the threat of two series of super fighters, Atlantic United On the one hand, the alliance strengthens the improvement of MK Spitfire fighters and P51 fighters, and on the other hand, it invests all force and material resources in the research and development of jet fighters.

However, this is a very long road. From the beginning of development to the final stable commissioning of production, China's 208 Engineering Institute has been on the road for nearly 20 years. This is not the gap that can catch up overnight. Even if they produce new jet fighters, they will find themselves facing more problems.

The F/FEI-8 series fighter is nicknamed "Marblet". It is roughly similar to the F-14 in the design of the entire aerodynamic layout and shape. It uses a twin-engine engine, and the carrier-based model FEI-8 adopts a folding wing design. Due to some technical problems, it can only be used on the Novosibirsk-class aircraft carrier. In addition, the Navy used F-202 fighters on the Jabinsk-class aircraft carrier and the 307-class convoy, instead of the FEI-7, because the take-off and landing data of the FEI-7 on the Jabinsk-class aircraft carrier is not ideal.

In order to make fuller use of the Jabinsk-class aircraft carrier, there is already a new carrier-based aircraft FEI-9 project in operation, with Hyundai Heavy Industries and Fuguo Heavy Industries's Zibo Aircraft Manufacturing Factory participating in the bidding at the same time.

In the vast sea, with the gradual large-scale service of aircraft carriers, the strength of the Chinese navy has far ahead of the United States, but in the Pacific waters, there has been no large-scale exchange of fire between the two sides.

Although the United States has formulated a plan to retake the Hawaiian Islands and spread the war to the entire Pacific Theater, it has not yet launched more provocations against the China-Pacific Combined Fleet, and the Pacific Combined Fleet has blocked the Pacific Ocean and Japan, giving Japan a chance to actually participate in the war.

In the past three decades, Japan has lost not only the opportunity to become a world power, but also the courage to compete with China blindly. Even if Japan's pan-right wing is very fierce, it is still Japan's centrist party that is in power on the stage. Most of the mainstays in the army are also due to the era of Toshio Shibata. During the peacetime, he once studied in China's naval and land military colleges.

These people know a truth very well. Unlike other Atlantic allies, Japan is too close to China. Joining the Atlantic Alliance can make Japan gain a lot of benefits. But even so, it is too stupid for Japan to challenge China at this time without the full support of the United States.

Although Japan can build a military force with four million people, it is still the same - they are too close to China. As long as China takes Busan and the Ryukyu Islands as a springboard to carry out a large-scale amphibious landing operation on Japan, it is tantamount to setting fire [***].

The lesson of the last two defeats is profound. Don't attack your opponents without naval advantage.

The main force of the American Pacific Fleet is stationed in less than a day, and it will not act without authorization for a day. The Far East Army Group, which is specifically aimed at Japan's military strength, is not moving. It is steadily stationed in the theaters of North Korea, Vladivostok and Taiwan Province. It will block the Japanese, neither waste of military strength and materials to attack, nor let Japan send it. Play any effect.

In June 1941, World War II had entered a more intense period. After opening the northern channel and directly providing large-scale military supplies to Russia, the Atlantic Alliance finally decided to ignite the war and compete for Africa's resources. At the same time, it opened up a third battlefield in the Far East to make use of Japan's combat power. Share the pressure of the Russian army.

In response, the Chinese navy readjusted its strategic distribution, established a new Atlantic Combined Fleet Command, and expanded its military presence in Africa to 4 million people.

The aircraft carrier group of the Chinese navy is roughly divided into three parts, namely, the Pacific Theater, the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean Theater, and the Atlantic Theater. There are as many as 14 aircraft carriers transferred to the Atlantic Theater, 4 in the Novosibirsk class, 6 Yabinsk class, 4 307 escort carriers, and Admiral Zheng Dalian fought from the Indian Ocean. The district was transferred to the Atlantic Theater Command as the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, and Ma Jijiang, the commander-in-chief of the African Army Group, was also authorized enough to take the initiative to launch the South African War before Britain and the United States.

The grab of South Africa means that the war resources available to the Atlantic Alliance will be further reduced.

In July 1941, the first large-scale naval battle between the Chinese and American navies in the Pacific theater finally broke out. The U.S. Pacific Fleet completed the assembly preparations and attempted to launch the first attack on Hawaii with 14 battleships, 4 York City-class aircraft carriers and 2 escort carriers as the main force.

After China's aircraft carrier strategy was gradually revealed, it was impossible to determine which side of the aircraft carrier and battleship was heavier. The Atlantic Alliance adopted a synchronous construction strategy. At the end of 1940, the U.S. military surpassed China in the total tonnage of battleships, and the number of aircraft carriers was also There are 12, four of which are escort carriers modified on the basis of the original cruisers.

Relying on stable intelligence work, Admiral Zhang Zhepei, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater, has been fully prepared. In order to deliberately attract the main force of the U.S. military, on the basis of two Novosibirsk-class aircraft carriers and four Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers stationed in Pearl Harbor, he did not mobilize more troops to participate in the war, although the war The number of ships is small.

With the strength of the two sides roughly equal, the huge submarine force that has not been exposed in the Pacific Theater plays a very critical role, and the air base and high-power radar station built in Hawaii also play an important role.

After quickly locking in the opponent, the first large-scale naval battle between the Chinese and the United States, the Gardner naval battle, occurred at 16:22 on July 17, 1941, which was also the first large-scale aircraft carrier battle in human history.

Relying on the joint operation of FEI-8 series fighters and AE-10 early warning aircraft, more than 1/3 of the U.S. aircraft were shot down in the first round of attacks. The U.S. military's surprise attack did not have any effect. In the subsequent large-scale naval battle, the rest of the U.S. military's carrier-based aircraft were quickly shot down. .

For both sides, even if the war is defeated, it does not have much strategic value. Both sides have a huge foundation in the training of pilots. The industrial manufacturing capacity is also the most powerful in the world, but it is still of great significance.

Unfortunately, although the U.S. military has exhausted all its possibilities and designs, the role of the FEI-8 series of fighters and early warning aircraft is still incommible. The U.S. carrier-based aircraft is not even as good as the F-202.

The worst part is that the U.S. military miscalculated the speed and range of the F-8 fighter, as well as the information transmission capacity of the [***] team. The Air Force F-8 fighter from Oahu quickly arrived at the battlefield and participated in the battle in the earliest time.

After three hours of naval battle, the U.S. military tried to withdraw from the battlefield, but was besieged by the F-8 warplane and bomber group for a long time, and finally lost 4 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, 3 cruisers and 21 destroyers. The main force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet was almost lost, while the Chinese Pacific United Ship The team only lost one escort aircraft carrier, two battleships and four destroyers, and one Yabinsk-class aircraft carrier was seriously damaged.

With this huge advantage, the Pacific Combined Fleet began to adjust its direction, quickly capturing the Aleutian Islands and making Alaska the main direction of attack.

One of the biggest effects of the Gardner Battle was the delay of the U.S. military's plans on the battlefield in Africa, and the Combined Atlantic Fleet with more aircraft carriers was indestructible.

The Gardner naval battle itself is also an important turning point. After enough accumulation, the Chinese navy began to attack in an all-round way, became more active in the blockade of the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and repeatedly attacked in the Atlantic Ocean.

From September 1941 to March 1942, the three joint fleets of the Chinese navy continued to attack the naval bases held by the United Kingdom and the United States, completely blocking the entire Mediterranean Sea, breaking the connection between the Atlantic Alliance and India, and blocking South Africa and Japan.

In the continuous large-scale naval battles between the two sides, the Atlantic Alliance Navy has been hit hard. Relying on its huge production capacity and long-term 20 years of scientific research investment, the successful transformation of the Chinese navy in aircraft carrier strategy is the direct reason for this series of victories.

Compared with the Chinese Navy's Yabinsk-class aircraft carrier and its improved model Yabinsk II-class, there is a big gap between the active aircraft carriers of various countries, and the Chinese Navy's Novosibirsk-class aircraft carrier is the real giant, the Congo-class, Congo-class II-class, Guinea-class, Benin-class, Angola-class cruiser and Chaoyu-class The Chunchao-class and Chunlu-class destroyers are very good frigates. The heroic, Yuzhou-class and Qingzhou-class battleships around the aircraft carriers can still provide stable firepower output.

Before the Battle of Gardner, the number of aircraft carriers of the Atlantic Alliance Navy was no less than that of the Chinese Navy. The key difference between the two was that the Chinese Navy was more resolute and earlier in the transformation of aircraft carrier strategy.

The characteristics of the design of warships around aircraft carriers and battleships are completely different. Since 1920, China has fully considered the factors of aircraft carriers in the process of designing ships. The warships produced after 1930 are completely designed around aircraft carriers, especially the Congo II class and An Gora-class cruisers and Chunchao-class destroyers, including Qingzhou-class battleships, have also fully considered these factors in their actual design. On the whole, they have good anti-submarine air defense and coordinated aircraft carrier operations capabilities. Moreover, this series of warships have helicopter platforms and a large room for improvement.

This allows the Chinese navy to continuously upgrade the original warships during the war, instead of blindly eliminating updates.

The task of the Atlantic Alliance naval forces at this time is not only to narrow the differences in the quantity and quality of aircraft carriers between the two sides, but also to readjust the design of other supporting ships of the entire navy.

The gap between the two sides in radar and carrier-based aircraft is also obvious, and these are not the gaps that can be filled in just a few years.

During this period, the Chinese navy has become a well-deserved world naval hegemon, and it can be said to be a real new invincible fleet in the world.

In January 1942, the Italian navy was defeated, and the Western Front Army Group fully occupied Italy. Italy ended Mussolini's rule. The newly established Italian political axe withdrew from the Atlantic Alliance and joined the Asia-Europe Alliance as a defeated country.

After liquidating the internal military enterprises and traditional chaebols in Italy, the Fukang consortium continued to acquire Fiat Company through cross-holding, and through a series of integrations, and then integrated many industries throughout Italy's military manufacturing, automobile production, engine, shipbuilding, electricity and so on through Fiat. The Anglo-Dutch Fortis International Consortium has also added a new subsidiary, the United Credit Bank of Italy.

Taking full advantage of the gap between the navies of the two sides in the past two years, in March 1942, the General Staff of the Chinese Navy began to implement a larger-scale combat plan - the Battle of Panama, which resulted in the largest naval battle in the history of the world - the Battle of the Virgin Islands.

As the eastern gate of the Panama Canal, the Virgin Islands have always been under British control. After the U.S. Pacific Fleet was completely weakened, through the coordination of the General Staff of the Navy, more than 8 Novosibirsk-class aircraft carriers and 14 Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers, 12 Class 307-class escort carriers, and more than More than 400 frigates were concentrated in the Combined Atlantic Fleet, trying to control the entire Caribbean Sea and then seize control of the Panama Canal.

Once this goal is achieved, the Atlantic Alliance will completely lose control of South America, their contact with each other will be interrupted, it will not be able to obtain strategic supplies from South America, and the U.S. Navy will not be able to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Panama Canal.

This will be the real turning point of the whole World War II.

The ultimate confrontation between the British and American navies and the Chinese navies took place on March 27, 1942. In terms of the number of aviation and other ships, the Chinese navy has a numerical advantage of more than 30%, especially the tonnage level of aircraft carriers.

In this unprecedented naval decisive battle in human history, it is actually a decisive battle of all the naval strength of both sides.

Even if the U.S. and British can use the airport in the Caribbean Islands to support the navy, the too obvious naval gap between the two sides is irreparable and irreparable. The whole battle lasted for 7 hours in the first confrontation, and then carried out a three-day follow-up attack in the Caribbean Sea. In the end, The Chinese navy, which is more thorough and full in its transformation, has won a comprehensive victory.

The rich experience of the Chinese navy in amphibious operations is also one of the main reasons for the victory of this battle. The large-scale landing operations of the Marine Division and the army's airborne operations quickly disintegrate the opponent's airport, resulting in the loss of the geographical advantage that the Atlantic Alliance originally relied on.

Although the Chinese navy lost five aircraft carriers, including a very critical New Siberian-class aircraft carrier in addition to four Class 307 escort carriers, the British and American navies lost 11 aircraft carriers, and 17 battleships and 52 cruisers were sunk.

After the Battle of the Virgin Islands, the strength of the Atlantic Alliance Navy suffered an unprecedented blow, while the Chinese navy still has 11 Novosibirsk-class aircraft carriers, 20 Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers and 17 Class 307 escort carriers, and 4 Novosibirsk-class aircraft carriers to be put into service. Six other Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers will be completed by the end of the year.

After long-term naval observation, the National Military Commission of China no longer intends to convert the Class 307 special ship into an escort aircraft carrier, but the Yabinsk-class aircraft carrier acts as the escort carrier, with the Novosibirsk aircraft carrier as the real central and core force.

After the full victory of the Battle of the Virgin Islands, China's military strength was fully stimulated. In April 1942, the main force of the Southern Front Army was transferred to South America. After seizing the control of Panama, it quickly occupied Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Guyana and Suriname, and recaptured the Central dependency. Guyana.

After the Western European battlefield, the Moscow battlefield and the African battlefield, a new battlefield was opened up, and the U.S. military began to compete directly with the Chinese Southern Army Group in Central America through Mexico, trying to regain control of Panama.

The U.S. military can still fight a war, but how can the British who have been hit hard by the Royal Navy bear it?

The most significant practical significance of the naval battle of the Virgin Islands is that the Atlantic Ocean has been controlled by China, the ties between Britain and the United States have been blocked, and the victory or defeat of the Western European and the African battlefield have actually been known. It can also be said that the defeat of Spain and Portugal is the landing of the German army in Britain.

Is it the navy that finally decides the winner?

This result was probably unexpected by President Li Kaiye. However, Li Kaiye can't know what the final outcome will be like!

(to be continued)
