I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 580

For this reason, Yamamoto ordered the carrier-based aircraft of the first 9 aircraft carriers to be mainly fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft (there is no need to have strong attack power, only sufficient defense and reconnaissance power is enough), and the carrier-based aircraft of the following 4 aircraft carriers The aircraft are mainly dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft (because they are the real main force and must have sufficient attack power).

Yamamoto's battle plan is objectively brilliant, but he may not have even dreamed that his "good friend" Jiang Weiguo sold his carefully planned battle plan to Nimitz for 1000 million U.S. dollars. At a price of [-] million US dollars, he sold him to Nimitz together with his psychological weaknesses such as "fear of losing too many warships", "extremely wanting to destroy the US aircraft carrier", "Yamamoto's subordinates basically have pride, underestimate the enemy, and arrogance" , so that Nimitz basically mastered Yamamoto's battle plan, and mastered Yamamoto's psychological shortcomings.

"That 1000 million US dollars is really worth it!" After receiving the information provided by Jiang Weiguo, Nimitz was both elated and terrified. He admitted afterwards that if he hadn't learned from Jiang Weiguo that Yamamoto still had four aircraft carriers hidden, It is almost certain that the US Pacific Fleet is more than 90.00% likely to be wiped out in the Southwest Pacific Battle.

Although Nimitz is not afraid of Yamamoto, he is seriously lacking in strength at this time. He really wants to wait calmly for a year and a half. At that time, he will have a power that is not inferior to Yamamoto and will become more and more overwhelming as time goes by. The strong advantage of sexuality can "crush" Yamamoto, but Yamamoto has already forced him to the point where he cannot avoid the battle.

Strength is Yamamoto's greatest possible and only advantage, but his stamina is seriously lacking, while Nimitz's advantage lies in intelligence and the super powerful industrial productivity of the United States behind him.

In order to win this crucial battle, Nimitz worked hard and strategized. Together with a handful of a dozen core generals, he racked his brains and thought hard, and came up with an ingenious strategy.

The U.S. Navy has a unique warship between an aircraft carrier and a transport ship, called an "escort aircraft carrier."

This kind of warship is essentially a "transport ship made into an aircraft carrier and capable of taking off and landing carrier-based aircraft." It looks no different from an aircraft carrier, but it does not have thick armor and strong defenses. It is very fragile and almost It can be destroyed by a bomb or a torpedo, and the speed is slow. The advantage is that it has a large internal space, can store a lot of supplies, and is easy to build (the United States can build more than 50 escort aircraft carriers a year, the fastest speed record One ship was built in 76 days, and the first escort aircraft carrier in the United States was born in June 1).

According to the plan formulated by Nimitz, Spruance, Fletcher and others, the U.S. Navy requisitioned four large commercial ships with a tonnage of more than [-] U.S. civilians, and the shipyards transformed them into escort aircraft carriers within three months. , but specially made it "very similar to a regular aircraft carrier" in appearance.

The U.S. Navy originally had 8 aircraft carriers. After the loss of the Enterprise, there are still 7 ships left, namely the Lexington, Saratoga, Yorktown, Hornet, Wasp, Ranger, and Langley. The two Lesa ships are heavy aircraft carriers, the Langley is a light aircraft carrier, and the remaining four are medium-sized aircraft carriers, and the four escort aircraft carriers are specially disguised as the Yorktown, Hornet, Wasp, Raider, and even The painting was specially made exactly the same as the four ships including the Yorktown, thus becoming four "fake aircraft carriers".

In order to strengthen the anti-strike capability of these 4 "fake aircraft carriers" (if they sink too fast, they will reveal their flaws), Nimitz ordered the shipyard to carry out targeted transformation, increase the number of water-proof cabins and make sufficient preparations on board Emergency repair equipment, fire extinguishing equipment, etc., and do not store too many explosive and inflammable materials such as bombs, torpedoes, and fuel oil on board.

"Yamamoto is extremely eager to annihilate our aircraft carrier, so he must not wait to swallow these 4 'aircraft carriers' after he finds them. Once he destroys these 4 'aircraft carriers', he will naturally be overwhelmed by extreme excitement His subordinates are arrogant and conceited, killing our four 'aircraft carriers' at once is enough to make them think that they have won the battle, and then become paralyzed and take it lightly, and we will have the hope of victory!" Nimitz Said at the pre-war meeting, "When the Japanese carrier-based aircraft attacked the four 'carriers', we could find their aircraft carriers along their returning planes. At that time, it was time for us to counterattack! Thank God, we have already Know that Yamamoto still hides 4 aircraft carriers, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! In addition, tell the pilots that their mission is to damage the Japanese aircraft carrier, the damage is enough, and there is no need to sink it!"

Nimitz's order to the pilots of the U.S. aircraft carrier-based aircraft "just damage, not sink" is very meaningful. To sink an enemy ship requires continuous attack. While expanding the results of the battle, you must also lose yourself. In addition, the U.S. military still lacks actual combat experience with aircraft carriers and is in the exploratory stage. Therefore, for the sake of caution, they should not put in too much effort, and U.S. aircraft and U.S. pilots are not as good as Japanese aircraft and Japanese pilots; secondly, for the U.S. military, defense is more important than offense. Important, so it is necessary to deploy more fighter jets instead of dive bombers and torpedo attack planes, and the number of carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers is fixed. More of the former will definitely lead to fewer of the latter. The US military has no choice but to do so; more importantly, , for the Japanese aircraft carrier, there is no need to sink it, it only needs to be severely injured, forcing it to return to Japan for maintenance, and the strategic goal of the US military has been achieved: for a long period of time, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet cannot Once dispatched, the US-Australia maritime transportation line will naturally resume unimpeded, and the US military will also gain valuable time.

What does the U.S. military lack the most?It's time.

Get time and everything is enough.

As for the damaged Japanese aircraft carrier will return to the battlefield in the future, Nimitz doesn't care. Anyway, when the damaged Japanese aircraft carrier is repaired, the US military will also have a new aircraft carrier.

The Japanese aircraft carrier was injured and had to go back to the mainland for repairs, and was unable to dispatch. If the aircraft carrier did not dispatch, battleships and cruisers naturally did not dare to dispatch. The Japanese Navy was forced to leave the Southwest Pacific temporarily.

Not only that, but Nimitz mobilized more than a dozen transport submarines in advance, transported more than 100 carrier-based aircraft to New Zealand, and deployed them at a temporarily built and heavily camouflaged airport in the northernmost part of New Zealand's North Island, as a " killer mace".

Yamamoto's hole card has been betrayed by Jiang Weiguo to Nimitz, and Nimitz's hole card is unknown to Yamamoto.

Although there were many coincidences, accidents, and accidents during the "US-Japan Southwest Pacific Battle" that lasted ten days and ten nights, the overall steps were generally not beyond Nimitz's expectations.

After learning that the U.S. fleet was dispatched, the Japanese navy was overjoyed, and then waited impatiently for the U.S. military to throw itself into the trap.

A total of 13 Japanese aircraft carriers participated in the battle, while the U.S. military had 7. Although the Japanese army greatly surpassed the U.S. military in strength, Yamamoto feared that the losses would be too great. The U.S. Army also knew that its strength was far inferior to that of the Japanese Army, so they did not dare to take the initiative to attack, so they played "hide-and-seek at sea" with the Japanese Army.

Because both the Japanese army and the American army had scruples, in the first five days after the outbreak of the battle, the two sides searched for each other while hiding themselves in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, and played "Tai Chi" for five days and five nights until the afternoon of the sixth day. The real battle took place. The Japanese army discovered the precise location of the four US "medium-sized aircraft carriers", and then eagerly dispatched half of the carrier-based aircraft to attack them. After a fierce battle all afternoon, the Japanese army sank two US "aircraft carriers". There was no damage to the aircraft carrier himself. Immediately, the Japanese army cheered from top to bottom. Run away, never let it go", so the Japanese army's cautious attitude at the beginning was greatly reduced, and it became more and more bold. Almost all the Japanese soldiers who participated in the war believed that "their side has already secured the victory and will surely win the final victory"; the next day , the Japanese army attacked again and sank two U.S. "aircraft carriers". Immediately, the Japanese army burst into cheers. The counterattack (in this way, after the counterattack was over, it was already completely dark, and the Japanese carrier-based aircraft could not launch a counterattack against the U.S. aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier did not have combat effectiveness at night), and damaged many Japanese aircraft carriers to varying degrees; on the seventh day, both sides Continue to fight fiercely, and the balance of victory is more and more inclined to the US military. The biggest reason is that the Japanese army believes that "the US military only has 4 aircraft carriers left", and the Japanese army still has 2 aircraft carriers that can fight normally. On the seventh day , the USS Langley light aircraft carrier was sunk by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's Soryu was also severely damaged by the US military, and the number of Japanese aircraft carriers injured increased again; at this time, Yamamoto thought he had achieved a major victory, but he never thought of seeing He thought that "the U.S. military has only 7 aircraft carriers left, and our own side still has 5 aircraft carriers that can fight normally. If you don't wipe out the U.S. military in one go, what are you waiting for?" So he ordered to continue the attack, and he Judging that the U.S. military was fleeing at full speed, he determined the U.S. military’s escape route on the nautical chart (the U.S. military must follow a straight line at sea if they want to escape), and ordered the fleet to pursue along that route, but Nimitz’s move was superior. He ordered The fleet made a roundabout turn and circled to the rear of the Japanese fleet overnight, making it impossible for the Japanese fleet to spot the U.S. fleet after dawn, but the U.S. fleet spotted the Japanese fleet ahead of time, thereby seizing the opportunity, and finally sank the Japanese fleet in one fell swoop. At the end, the Soryu was limping towards the mainland of Japan.

The loss of the Soryu made Yamamoto very anxious. In his opinion, the loss of one aircraft carrier by the Japanese army can offset the loss of three aircraft carriers by the US military. At the same time, Nimitz retreated while fighting, deliberately leading the Japanese fleet to New Zealand.

In the end, in the final decisive battle on the tenth day, the U.S. military lost the heavy aircraft carrier USS Saratoga, but the U.S. aircraft carrier-based air fleet and the land-based air carrier deployed in northern New Zealand in advance successfully took the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. The flagship "Yamato" aircraft carrier was sent to the bottom of the sea, and Yamamoto himself, who was sitting on the Yamato, almost fell into the sea and drowned.

So far, this battle has officially come to an end. Yamamoto believes that "the U.S. military has only one aircraft carrier left, and the goal of this battle has been achieved, and the Japanese army has lost two aircraft carriers. The cost is too high, and it is not worth continuing to fight", so he He ordered the fleet to return to the voyage in full; Nimitz called for money to withdraw his troops at the same time. His planned combat objectives had basically been achieved, and it would be very dangerous to continue fighting with the Japanese army.

这场美日西南太平洋海战堪称波澜壮阔，日军出动了13艘航母以及80多艘其它型号军舰，美军出动了7艘航母、4艘护航航母以及50多艘其它型号军舰，在持续十天十夜的鏖战后，最终，日军损失了2艘航母（苍龙号、大和号）以及1艘轻型巡洋舰、2艘驱逐舰，6艘航母受到较严重或很严重的创伤；美军损失了2艘航母（兰利号、萨拉托加号）、4艘护航航母、1艘战列舰、1艘重型巡洋舰、3艘轻型巡洋舰、3艘驱逐舰、4艘运输舰船等辅助舰船。

After this war, both the Japanese army and the U.S. military believed that they were the winners. The Japanese army firmly believed that they had sunk six U.S. aircraft carriers, and the U.S. military had only one aircraft carrier left. He believed that he had sunk 6 Japanese aircraft carriers and damaged more than 1 Japanese aircraft carriers, making it impossible for the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet to attack again for a long time, thus gaining himself the most precious time.

In fact, the sinking of the Yamato hit the morale and belief of the Japanese navy more than the sinking of other aircraft carriers, making the Japanese navy become cautious again.

For a while, both Tokyo and Washington were celebrating.

Although Yamamoto 56 felt a lot of regret because "one US aircraft carrier slipped through the net and his side lost two aircraft carriers", but he was more happy and relieved. He believed that his strategic goal was basically accomplished, but, He soon discovered that something was wrong. Just one month later, definitely not one, but at least three US aircraft carriers appeared in the Southwest Pacific, swaggeringly escorting a convoy full of supplies to Australia.

"The new aircraft carrier of the U.S. military has been completed so soon?" Yamamoto was worried. He thought it was the new aircraft carrier of the U.S. military.

When the transport fleet escorted by the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet arrived in Australia, the fleet docked directly in Melbourne, and Melbourne was in the midst of continuous warfare. The Japanese army that had successively captured Brisbane, Sydney, and Canberra had launched an attack on Melbourne, and the Australian army had almost survived. I couldn't hold it anymore, but after the U.S. fleet arrived, it not only unloaded a mountain of munitions including a large number of tanks, aircraft, and heavy artillery, but also transported a full division of the U.S. Army. Suddenly, under the onslaught of the Japanese army, the precarious and crumbling Melbourne immediately turned from danger to safety. The US-Australian allied forces not only stabilized their positions, but even launched a counterattack. A large number of newly manufactured "Sherman" tanks gathered into a torrent of steel that the Japanese army had never seen before, and rushed towards the Japanese army unstoppably. The people were turned on their backs and suffered heavy losses (in history, the first Sherman tank participated in the war was in North Africa in October 1942, and it was in the Australian battlefield at this time, and the time was just right).

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Standing in front of the huge new version of the world map, Jiang Weiguo looked at the Pacific Ocean and the Australian mainland, "It seems that the 'expansion' of Little Japan has begun to be contained.

The Battle of Hawaii took place at the end of March, and it is now the first ten days of October. Hehe, exactly half a year. Yamamoto’s prediction was good.

However, Little Japan is still very strong. After all, only two aircraft carriers have been sunk. The U.S. military is still far away from a full-scale counterattack. The next step will be a war of attrition like a meat grinder. Let’s fight. The more blood you bleed, the better China will be. !"

There were two episodes at the end of the U.S.-Japan Southwest Pacific Naval Battle. The first was that the Japanese navy immediately renamed the Italian ship Yamato after it sank the Yamato. The intention was self-evident; the second was the loss of Lexington The USS did not sink, but was abandoned by the US military after being seriously injured and its power system completely paralyzed. It was then discovered by the Japanese army, captured, and dragged back.

At the last moment of the Lexington, Spruance, who was in command on the ship, sent a message to Nimitz: "The Lexington can't be driven back, and we can't take it back. We are going to shoot it on its own." Shen, please approve!"

Nimitz replied: "No, just leave it where it is!"

Spruance said in astonishment: "Then it will become the spoils of war for the Japanese!"

Nimitz replied: "It's not necessarily a Japanese booty, the Japanese can't repair it without American-made parts and equipment, but someone can get American-made parts and equipment. answer!"

After giving this order, Nimitz stood on the bow deck of the warship, looked at the distant east, shook his head, and showed a complicated smile.

Chapter 671 Outer War Situation (7)

In a coastal city in western France, the German SS set up a secret prison in a dark corner of the city.

"General Shang, the most suitable candidate has been found!" In the office, Reinhard Heydrich, the number two figure in the SS and Himmler's confidant, gestured to Shang Zhen who was sitting next to him. A prisoner wrenched in by two big-armed Gestapo.

Shang Zhen looked at the prisoner, who was a young and strong French man. The other party looked at the German and Shang Zhen, the Chinese, with hatred and hatred.

"Aged about 35 years old, in good health, well-nourished, and free from abuse or torture!" Heydrich introduced the Frenchman to Shang Zhen as if introducing a commodity, "Most importantly, he He looks exactly like us Germans, with blond hair, blue eyes, and tall stature, and he can almost become a sample of the "pure-bred Germans" that the Führer said!"

Shang Zhen smiled helplessly: "Actually, in the eyes of us Chinese, there is no difference between you Germans and French!"

Heydrich also laughed: "In the eyes of us Germans, there is no difference between you Chinese and Japanese, but you can tell the difference in appearance between the two, just as we can also tell the difference between the Caucasians. The face of the nation!"

The French suddenly yelled furiously. A Gestapo raised his rifle and was about to hit him in the mouth with the butt of his rifle, but Heydrich yelled at him: "Stupid! How can a person whose teeth are knocked out by the butt of a gun?" Will he be an excellent officer in the German army? We must leave no trace of flaws! Only in this way can the Allies be convinced!" He waved his hand, "Shut him up!"

A basin of water was brought in, and the Frenchman's head was forced into the water.

"What did he do?" Shang Zhen couldn't bear to look at the Frenchman who was struggling desperately but in vain.

"Participated in the French underground resistance organization, and killed a lone German soldier in the middle of the night with a pistol provided by the Allies!" Heydrich said calmly.

"What kind of water is that basin of water? It can't be tap water, can it?"

"Standard sea water in the English Channel, even the best doctor in the Allied Army will definitely confirm that this 'German officer' died of drowning, and he drowned in the English Channel. The water is sea water!" Seeing that the prisoner stopped struggling, Heydrich ordered his subordinates, "Change his clothes, and hang the prepared briefcase on his body!"

The Gestapo dragged over the Frenchman's body and began to dress the body in a standard German naval lieutenant colonel's uniform.

"In two hours, the fresh body will be dropped by our submarine on the coast near the British mainland.

I believe that the 'secret documents' in the briefcase carried by the corpse will definitely make the top allied forces feel like a treasure!" Heydrich smiled slightly.

"The law of war says that what is false is true, and what is true is false!" Shang Zhen muttered to himself as he looked at the corpse being carried away.

The official participation of the United States, which has the world's largest comprehensive national strength, has brought the scale of the all-out war between the Allies and the Allies to a new level, reaching an unprecedented level.

From the end of the war to the autumn of 1942, the flames of this world war were mainly concentrated in two places, one was the North Atlantic Ocean with Britain at its core, and the other was Oceania and the Pacific Ocean. The British Army, the Canadian Army) fought fiercely, and on the second main battlefield, the Japanese Army and the Allied Forces (U.S. Army, Australian Army, and New Army) fought bloody and rainy winds.

Although the two main battlefields are thousands of miles apart, they are closely related. At the same time as the Southwest Pacific War broke out between the United States and Japan, Germany officially launched the "Sea Lion Operation" that landed in the United Kingdom on October 10. A total of more than 8 million people from the German Army, Navy and Air Force participated in the battle.

In this battle, the German Army and the Luftwaffe were dispatched in full force.

Landing on the British mainland was one of the strategic plans that Hitler and the German High Command had been planning and preparing for a long time.

Four months ago, the British Air Force bombed the German mainland. Many major German cities, including Berlin, were bombed by the British army. The air strike caused considerable civilian casualties in Germany. More than [-] German civilians were killed. The British army was killed and injured. The air raid was originally just an action carried out by the British military to imitate the "Doolittle Air Raid" of the US military to retaliate against Germany and boost the morale of the British army and civilians. Nerves became the fuse of the "Sea Lion Project".

Furious, Hitler ordered "to actively integrate the surface fleets of the German, Italian, and French navies while continuing the unrestricted submarine warfare against Great Britain and the United States and the strategic bombardment of the British homeland, and the Luftwaffe to proceed with full coordination at the same time." The preparations for the German army finally landed on the British mainland, wiped out the British, and ensured that the German mainland is safe."

The "Sea Lion Project" was thus finalized.

There are basically five reasons why Hitler and the top German leaders made up their minds to land on the British mainland:

First, the German Army has no war at this time, and launching the British homeland war will not put the German Army into a two-front combat situation. Germany has enough national power and the German Army has enough military power to launch this battle;

Second, the United States has officially joined the war. Before the United States entered the war, the United Kingdom fought against Germany alone. Although it could temporarily keep its homeland with its powerful navy, it was already under the double blow of the German Navy's unlimited submarine warfare and the Luftwaffe's strategic bombing. As long as it lasts for another year or even half a year, the United Kingdom will collapse on its own. However, the United States has entered the war and has continuously transfused blood to the United Kingdom, making Germany's original strategy against the United Kingdom less and less effective. The Navy’s submarine losses are increasing, and the Luftwaffe is losing its air superiority more and more. It can be predicted that if time continues to drag on, Britain will not collapse on its own. The bombing of the German mainland can prove that "Britain's military strength is recovering." Britain has not been resolved for a long time, and will eventually become the forward base for the Allied forces, especially the US military, to counterattack the European continent and threaten the German mainland.

Before the United States entered the war, a large number of American warships, weapons and equipment, machinery and equipment, industrial raw materials, strategic materials, and thousands of American aid personnel (mainly pilots) were continuously sent to the United Kingdom by the United States. The supplies and personnel from the United States to the United Kingdom have increased several times. There are more and more U.S. troops, U.S. aircraft, and U.S. military bases in the British mainland. The frontier military bases, and then the mainland of Germany will not be safe and fall into crisis. As the saying goes, "the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly";

Third, the Allied Powers have never intended to "defeat or eliminate the United States" from the beginning to the end, because without that capability, Germany must completely dominate Europe if it wants to win the final victory, forcing the United States to recognize "Europe is Germany's territory", and then forcing The United States has completely withdrawn from Europe, so the elimination of Britain is a major event that Germany must complete.

Germany can only force the United States to admit the fact that "Germany has dominated Europe" only by eliminating the United Kingdom. Otherwise, the United Kingdom will always have the springboard, stepping stone, and forward base. hope.

In the matter of fighting against the United States, Hitler's thinking coincides with that of Yamamoto 56. Both of them admit that "the United States cannot be defeated", and the only way to defeat the United States is to achieve a decisive victory that makes the United States unshakable , to force the United States to accept the established facts and recognize the established facts, and from now on, it will "do not violate the river" with Germany or Japan, "each side will dominate, and each will have its own problems";

Fourth, the strength of the German Navy’s surface fleet is indeed inferior to that of the British Navy. What’s more, the British Navy already has the help of the US Navy’s Atlantic Fleet at this time. However, the German Navy also has the help of the Italian Navy and the French Navy. The strait is not wide, and the sea combat area is completely within the combat range of the Luftwaffe aircraft, and the Luftwaffe still has a slight advantage in the current battle against the US and British air forces (however, as time goes by, more and more US military aircraft stationed in the UK The more American and British allied aircraft can defeat the Luftwaffe in terms of quality, they can use their quantitative advantage to overwhelm the Luftwaffe, which makes the German top leaders more eager to launch the "Sea Lion Project"), so the German army still has the strength to compete with the Allied forces. Compete at sea;

Fifth, the German Army is the strongest of the three German armies. The elite of the British Army has been captured by the German Army following the Battle of Dunkirk. The U.S. Army is seriously lacking in actual combat experience and "cannot fight at all." Canada Not to mention the army, so once the German army sets foot on the British mainland and breaks out a land battle with the US, British and Canadian armies, it is the German army that "uses its own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses". As time continues to drag on, the Luftwaffe will be overwhelmed by the Allies sooner or later. As for the navy, the navy is the biggest weakness of the German army. If it falls into a trough and time continues to drag on, the strength of the U.S. Navy will be restored, and the German Navy's hope of winning will become even slimmer. Therefore, it is necessary to "do it as soon as possible."

The reason why the "Sea Lion Project" of the German army broke out at the same time as the US-Japan Southwest Pacific War was that in order to win the Southwest Pacific Battle, the US military transferred most of the capital ships of the Atlantic Fleet to the Pacific Ocean and added them to the Pacific Fleet, including three All of the aircraft carriers have further weakened the strength of the US Navy in the Atlantic Ocean. For the German Navy, this is a great opportunity.

Commander-in-Chief Raeder of the German Navy, like Yamamoto 56, knew that the U.S. Navy could not gain time to restore its strength. The longer the U.S. Navy, whether it is the Pacific Fleet or the Atlantic Fleet, will be stronger.

Therefore, after learning of the outbreak of the Southwest Pacific War between the United States and Japan, Raeder immediately met Hitler and categorically requested the launch of the "Sea Lion Project". Hitler followed suit and approved it.

From the British Air Force's "surprise attack on Berlin" to this time, a full four months have passed, and the German army, navy and air force have also prepared for a full four months, and they are basically fully prepared.

Naturally, the German Army need not say much. The German Air Force has prepared more than 1.6 aircraft of various types for this battle. The scale is astonishing. The destruction, coupled with the unrestricted submarine warfare of the German Navy, led to a sharp decline in the industrial raw materials and strategic materials obtained by the British mainland, resulting in a sharp reduction in the production of aircraft in the British mainland. In the past 1942 months, only more than 10 aircraft have been manufactured. For comparison, Germany has manufactured more than 9 aircraft in the same period (the United States has manufactured more than 5000 aircraft in the same period); as for the German Navy, its scale is quite strong , because there is also the Italian and French navy to assist in the war.

参加此战的德国海军舰艇包括3艘装甲舰、2艘战列巡洋舰、3艘重型巡洋舰、6艘轻型巡洋舰、20多艘驱逐舰、10多艘辅助巡洋舰、超过200艘鱼雷艇、20多艘鱼雷舰以及超过300艘潜艇等；参加此战的意大利海军舰艇包括9艘战列舰、9艘重型巡洋舰、16艘轻型巡洋舰、2艘航母、60多艘驱逐舰、100多艘潜艇等；参加此战的法国海军舰艇包括10艘战列舰、2艘战列巡洋舰、1艘航母、12艘重型巡洋舰、超过20艘轻型巡洋舰、50多艘驱逐舰、100多艘潜艇等；德意法三国海军联合舰队的参战舰艇船舶的合计吨位约150万吨，实力不可不说雄厚，计有战列舰、战列巡洋舰、装甲舰24艘，航母3艘，轻重型巡洋舰约70艘，运输舰船超过200艘；另外，德军还准备了5000多枚飞弹用于此战。

The "Sea Lion Project" launched by Hitler can be said to be a gamble.

Regarding the "Sea Lion Project", Jiang Weiguo held an attitude of not supporting it, but Hitler had a hard heart, and he had no choice but to try his best to help Hitler win the battle.

When Hitler asked Jiang Weiguo for "what good suggestions do you have", Jiang Weiguo made three suggestions to Hitler based on his "foresight":

First, we must cast doubt on the Allied forces.

The widest part of the English Channel reaches 240 kilometers, the narrowest part is only 34 kilometers, and the narrowest part is also known as the "Dover Strait (Strait of Calais)", which is the Dover area of ​​the United Kingdom on one side and France on the other. The Calais area is the narrowest area, so it is the most suitable for the German army to cross the strait. Therefore, the Allied forces must closely monitor the Dover Strait. The German army can establish a large but false army group in the Calais area of ​​​​France to attract the attention of the Allied forces. , so that the Allied Forces made a major misjudgment; (Jiang Weiguo's strategy is actually a tactic used by the Allied Forces in the Normandy landing in the original history.

）

Second, we must attack the Allied forces.

As the so-called "false and real, real and false", the Allied forces believed that the most likely place for the German army to land, but the German army did not land there, and did the opposite, or the trees blossomed and launched multiple landings on the UK. Even landing in Ireland.

Ireland was originally very pro-German, and at the same time hated Britain extremely. After being forcibly occupied by the US military a few months ago, it hated the Allies even more deeply. If the German army landed in the UK, the local British people would definitely resist desperately. The locals will welcome the German army with a pot of milk and food, and fight side by side with the German army. After the German army takes Ireland, will it be far from taking Britain? (Historically, after Hitler committed suicide, Ireland was the only country that sent condolences to the German government.

）

Third, the British air defense forces are generally equipped with radars, so that they can monitor the sky day and night, and give early warning of the attack of the German fleet. How to deal with the radars of the Allies?There is a very simple method: use a bomber or transport plane to load a large number of aluminum foil strips, fly to the detection range of the Allied forces radar and throw aluminum foil strips, and the electronic display screen of the Allied forces radar will be "densely densely covered with snowflakes", thereby losing its effect.

This is the principle of the later weapons "disruptor" or "chaff", the effect is very ideal,

Hitler, who received Jiang Weiguo's "pointing to the maze", expressed his thanks again and again on the one hand and was more confident on the other hand.
