The first thousand and ninety-two chapters strike first
While the top German leaders were fighting openly and secretly over how to deal with the Italian situation, Lin Yongsheng and Tycho had already begun to consider what to do in the future. Although the two sides had reached some consensus on some fundamental issues, for example, once Germany and Austria attacked Italy with all their strength, Italy would definitely block it.
Can't help it, the Italian Navy needs to consider the transfer issue, but once it starts to be implemented, Tycho's luck mentality still makes him unwilling to admit defeat like this. Anyone with some ability will be more conceited, so Tycho wants to try other ways out.
.
"We can slowly transfer some valuable assets such as equipment to China through investment. For the families of naval personnel, we can now also slowly transfer them to China, the United States and other places. After all, some people are willing to go
Work in China, as for the gold reserve? I feel that it is too early to discuss this matter." Tycho hesitated and continued: "But I am still not willing to leave Italy like this! This is my country, I
We need to do our best to protect him! Even if we can't win."
"Then do you know the cost of doing this? How many troops, funds and sacrifices are required? And the final result will probably fail. Do you really decide? Top? Point? Novel
Have you done this?" Faced with Tycho's request, Lin Yongsheng was also a little entangled, because according to China's script, Italy will be abandoned. China will proceed with the plan of earning as much as it can and will invest some personnel.
and funds, but absolutely unwilling
Fighting a war with the Allies in the Mediterranean, Tycho obviously knew how to start a war, but he didn't know how to end it! Friendship is friendship, but China will not engage in a war of attrition under such circumstances. What's more, do you want to
The consumption must also be transported in!
"At least we tried. And we don't have no chance of winning. The Germans are still busy dealing with the financial crisis. We can now take action against the Black Shirt Party and eliminate all their internal agents." Tycho thought for a while and said.
He was also skeptical about whether this operation would work, because what Germany needed was an obedient puppet, and such a person was so easy to find. Without the Blackshirts, there would be others.
"Speculation, according to an old Chinese saying, is to alert the snake in the grass, and without Mussolini there will be others. There is no shortage of careerists in the world." As expected by Tycho, Lin Yongsheng did not agree with Tycho's plan.
Don’t appreciate it. “This kind of behavior can even be counterproductive. In addition to resistance, whether Germany and Austria can win Italy as soon as possible is more important is their determination and the psychological bottom line they can withstand. Exposing their strength prematurely will only cause the other party to start to lose strength.
Do your best. This will be detrimental to us."
"Wouldn't they start doing their best? This is a medium-industrialized country. And it also has a powerful navy." Tycho was slightly dissatisfied because he felt that the other party looked down on Italy too much.
"Although Germany and Austria are monolithic, their interests are different. Germany hopes to take over an Italy that is as complete as possible as its puppet, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants a piece of the pie from the fallen Italy!
Under normal circumstances, Germany does not need to consider Austria-Hungary's attitude. But when the German fleet aggressively advances
Before entering the Mediterranean, if you want to conquer Italy, you cannot do without the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And Austria-Hungary will not be stupid. Ferdinand (yes, the assassinated Lord in history) will not work for Germany in vain, he must
Think of a businessman carefully calculating input and output issues. If you were the Austro-Hungarian Empire, would you try your best at first?" Lin Yongsheng asked.
At this point, China has grasped it very accurately, and both Germany and Austria want to win at the lowest possible cost. Although the Italian navy has shown its strength last time, Germany and Austria still do not want to fight a medium-level war.
to solve Italy. Although the Luftwaffe expressed its willingness to participate in the war, there was a gap between the statement and the actual situation, such as how many aircraft and crews were mobilized. More importantly, if the Luftwaffe wanted to participate in the war, it would definitely use the forward airport in Austria-Hungary.
So now the question is, what does Austria-Hungary think? What's more, Germany does not want a dilapidated Italy, and Austria-Hungary does not want to lose too much of its strength for this. So if this is used well, then even if the war
When the outbreak broke out, Italy already had the opportunity to transfer something. And if the Italian Navy had done something to stimulate Germany and Austria before that, how long could Italy itself support it in the face of Germany and Austria who were doing their best?
"Of course, we are not doing nothing, but we must consider when to do it and how to do it. The attack on the remaining forces of the Black Shirt Party should be carried out before the other party decides to act, so as to disrupt their
Deployment, even if they want to make a new plan, it will be too late. At the same time, we must be prepared for war and gain time for the transfer through victory on the battlefield." Lin Yongsheng pointed to the large-scale map on the wall and said, "If it takes longer,
The time is my mission here."
"Even if Germany and Austria don't try their best, I'm still not optimistic about the strength you have. In addition to the navy's relatively small gap with the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, in terms of the army, you can be sure that the only ones you can mobilize are the Marine Corps and part of the army. Black
Although the Soviet Union is weak, the Adriatic Sea is too narrow. If Austria-Hungary decides to transport its troops by sea,
If you have a fleet, you can quickly make up for the shortcomings of the rebels in the army. As for the air force. In the same way, your naval aviation and part of the air force are simply unable to resist the German and Austrian attack. More importantly, your fleet must not enter Asia.
The Adriatic Sea is too narrow, and it is simply a hell for large warships and a paradise for aircraft and submarines," Lin Yongsheng said.
"I know this very well, so I decided to use mines, frogmen, submarines and torpedo boats to defend. I will also deploy some fighter jets. The main fleet will fight on the outside." Tycho nodded and said.
"Frogman?!" Hearing this term, Lin Yongsheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He really couldn't understand how useful something like a frogman could be. But out of politeness, he didn't say anything.
"If Germany and Austria decide to intervene on a large scale, the Italian fleet will launch attacks on two fronts at the same time. In the Mediterranean battlefield, we will first block the southern exit of the Adriatic Sea with mines, and at the same time choose to fight the Austro-Hungarian fleet.
, and launch attacks on Crete and other bases when conditions permit." Tycho did not dare to boast about anything else, but he was still very confident in dealing with the Austro-Hungarian navy.
"The other battlefield is the Indian Ocean. The fleet I deployed in East Africa is to contain the opponent's fleet and relieve the pressure on the main fleet during the war. A lot of the oil needed by Germany and Austria needs to enter Europe through the Persian Gulf-Indian Ocean-Red Sea.
.If we start an attack here, he can't ignore it." Tycho was really determined to turn against the Allies this time.
Now that we are ready to start fighting, we have to do whatever we can! "Considering that the East African colonies are isolated overseas, but the location is not bad, and there are no borders with the Allied colonies. If the British can provide us with ammunition and supplies,
It will be very convenient for our operations. Especially mines, I hope to lay minefields at the southern end of the Red Sea."
"It's a very good plan. Now that you have decided, let me talk about the help we can provide as an ally. We will convince the British government to provide the necessary assistance to the Italian Indian Ocean Detachment. If the warship is seriously damaged, we can also go to China.
Repair. At the same time, before we take action on your side, we can at least provide the Italian Navy with air support of no less than 400 aircraft and 300 crews, and the aircraft ordered by your country in our country
The aircraft and crews on the aircraft carriers and aviation cruisers are counted separately. As for the army, although the Allied Powers will not intervene significantly, we will still try to persuade the Allied Powers to organize a "volunteer army" to participate in the ground war in Italy.
To make up for the lack of ground military strength." China has always been very generous to its allies, and these are just the initial aid. And as the plan unfolds, there will be more aid and support.
"After the war, China will continue to provide aviation support to your country. We will open two routes. One is to reach your country's colonies in East Africa, fly over Sudan and Libya and then enter the Mediterranean, and the other is to transport aircraft to France.
After that, we flew directly from France to Italy. After the war, the average number of fighter jets we supplied to your country per week was no less than 60. Of course, your country will not pay for these things. It is free assistance." Lin Yongsheng later added
.
"You call this free?" Tycho raised his head, pointed to the last page of the document and said: "The premise is that you let us deposit the gold reserves and other hard currencies shipped out into the banks of China.
The annual interest is quite a lot, and you can use this funds to do more things, okay, although you can also
Give me some. But I always feel that we are still at a loss." Tycho said rather depressed. "But it's okay, if you value this money so much, I think you must have a way to let these gold and silver go with my fleet.
Leave the Mediterranean safely and tell us how we can escape in the future." Tycho asked.
"I think there will be an answer to this question soon." Lin Yongsheng's answer surprised Tycho. The two sides started talking so much. Isn't the final result just to get rid of the Italian fleet from the encirclement and suppression of the Allies? How come it is now?
China still can't come up with a complete plan? Isn't this a lie?
"This is not something we can do alone. We are negotiating with the British and Americans on related matters. Although there is no result yet, I believe we will reach an agreement soon. As long as we can stop the German fleet from heading south, at the same time
Deterring Spain can provide a way for your fleet to leave the Mediterranean." Lin Yongsheng said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
