There is an old saying in the military circles that "the staff always made a perfect plan for the last war." (This is true. The expression may not be accurate, but the meaning is not bad.) The meaning of this sentence is,

When the staff formulated a plan based on the lessons learned from the last war, they suddenly discovered that the plan was completely useless in the upcoming war.

.This thing has happened repeatedly in history, causing many soldiers who claim to be elites to hate the battlefield. Let’s not talk about the second war in history. When the French learned the experience and lessons of the first war, they honestly repaired fortifications and

Bunkers poured billions of francs and a lot of manpower into the Maginot Line, but this costly defense line played no role in actual combat.

For another example, before World War II, when the top brass of the U.S. Navy prepared a large number of battleships for a Jutland-style naval decisive battle with the Japanese Navy, and when the Japanese prepared to use the nine-stage combat taper tactics to gradually consume and eventually defeat the U.S. Navy, these

The makers of the plan never imagined that a gambler named Yamamoto Isoroku would use 6 aircraft carriers and more than 400 aircraft to completely sweep these plans into the garbage heap of history.

Hit! So much so that those who come here have to sigh: What a trick of fate! And military enthusiasts on the Internet are thinking all day long about how the war will change if the Yamato is replaced by the Shokaku aircraft carrier, and what will happen if Zeppelin is put into service?

What has changed? In this dimension, the Americans seem to have made the same mistake, but their mistakes are more technical. They underestimated the level of German military technology!

After all, there is only one time traveler. After all, China is the longest rival with Germany. Xu Jie knew that Roosevelt was not a good person, so while doing his best to save face, he also hid it very well! He could not tell the Allies.

Say, if you can't tell, don't tell! So under the influence of this guideline, Xu Jie hid a lot of valuable information. For example, the German Air Force's new fw190 fighter jet is said to be powerful in combat. For example, in this plane

Definitely

German tanks of more than 50 tons will appear. Another example is the German Navy's fast attack formation. As for the methods and machinery for deciphering German codes, China has not shared much with the Allies. It would be good to provide information. As for the source

You can go there yourself! Some of this information is known to the United States, Britain, France and other countries to some extent, but they don’t believe it because these things are too unbelievable to them. If Xu Jie is not a time traveler, then Xu Jie himself will not

Will believe it!

Ever since, under China's deliberate cover-up, the Americans, British and French began to evaluate the current combat power of the German army and formulate future combat plans. The three giants of the Allied Powers believed that they already knew the German army very well. After all, the Great War

We have fought twice, and the equipment of the Germans seems to be the same without much change. Of course, the same is true for the United Kingdom and the United States.

The first is the air force. After a great war, the British had to admit that the German air force had made great progress in organizing major battles and electronic warfare. The cooperation of the German navy and air force in Operation Sky Garden could be described as seamless.

After a combination of punches, the British Air Force in Iran was completely destroyed. However, what pleased the British was that it seemed that the equipment upgrading of the German Air Force was very ineffective. The fighter jets are still BF109 and BF110. The former's overall performance is not as good as the Spitfire, while the latter is of course

Attack aircraft seem more suitable.

Bombers? The JU88 and He110 will dominate the world, and the strategic air force is still the He177 Griffin. This combination is not scary in the eyes of the British. Especially on a smaller battlefield like Europe, combined with the large number of well-equipped British and French aircraft

Airport. Squirting

The problem of insufficient range of Firefighters is not serious. In terms of scale, the British Air Force plus the French Air Force plus the U.S. Air Force in Europe should be no less than their opponents. Our own fighter jets will have an advantage in defensive operations, which means that at least the Air Force

There won't be any big problems.

As for the electronic warfare level of the Germans? After some research, the British believed that their fiasco in the Sky Garden was largely due to outdated equipment. If they were replaced with new equipment, the results would be much better.

The three giants of the Allied Powers believed that the combat power of the French and British air forces alone was enough to hold off the German air force. As the three countries entered the war system, the three countries believed that their advantages in national power would gradually turn into combat power advantages, and they would later turn around and bomb them.

It is also possible in Germany.

"I hope the British can come up with the Spitfire 9 as soon as possible. Otherwise, the British Spitfire 5, the French D520 and the American P40 won't be tortured to death?" Xu Jie's estimate is still conservative. Who knows how many times it will take?

Will the Germans come up with jumo213 in the future? Think about the performance of the fw190d using c3 oil + mw50 at medium and low altitudes and the mid-term Spitfire model compared with the American model.

If you fight the early models of P47, the situation will be very wonderful. The Spitfire 9 can't beat the fw190d9 with oil change and 2-stage supercharging! As for the P47? This aircraft is really nb at high altitude, but the P47, known as the milk bottle, is in the middle

It's miserable at low altitudes. Although a powerful engine can lift the refrigerator into the sky, whether it can be launched once it's in the sky is another question.

As for the p38 and p51? At least historically, the p38 has no advantage over late German aircraft, but the p51? The design team has all come to China, and the Americans have not planned to introduce this aircraft so far. After all, it has not installed Molin.

The performance of the mid-term engine P51 fighter is just like that. Big countries want to save face, and if it is not their own, they will rarely introduce other countries’ products on a large scale.

As for the size of the air force? Xu Jie believes that Germany’s mobilization ability in this dimension must be a higher level than in history. First of all, Speer, who was an architect of the Third Reich in history, has appeared. Secondly, if we talk about mobilization

Regardless of history or reality, the mobilization efficiency of Germany under the Kaiser's rule was much stronger than that of the Mustache's Third Reich! Think about it, when corruption and corruption were rampant in the Third Reich, Speer

Under the strategic bombing of the United States and Britain, it can increase its aircraft production capacity to 39,000 aircraft a year. At this level, Germany's strength far exceeds the Third Reich in history. The mobilization efficiency is also higher, so the Third Reich's air force production capacity

There will definitely be a terrifying figure. In addition, Germany is not short of oil in this dimension. Then Xu Jie believes that maintaining a scale of 20,000 aircraft and a production capacity of about 70,000 fighter jets a year for the German Air Force during wartime is really not a big problem!

What's more, the production capacity of the German Air Force was actually not fully utilized. The Germans mobilized too late. They did not mobilize when they started strategic bombing when the impact was not significant. They waited until the bombings were no longer viable and started mobilizing. In fact, if we purely talk about industry,

Even according to the historical scale of the German aircraft industry,

So there is potential for improvement. After all, it goes without saying what the situation was in the skies over Germany in 1944. In the early stage, both sides fought for consumption. In the later stage, it was basically the backyard of the US and British air forces. Under such circumstances, the German aircraft produced

It is a miracle that the number can reach a scale of 39,000!

If we diverge a little further, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still exists in this dimension. Even if Austria-Hungary is worse, its industrial base is still much stronger than that of Japan in history. If the proportion of multi-engine aircraft is lower, it will only be more than 25,000 per year.

Is it divided? There is also the production capacity of Italy and Spain, even if the Italians' inactivity is included. Together, whether it is production or assembly, the total is 15,000 aircraft per year.

The production capacity is also acceptable. Italy's industry is actually not weak. Italy in this dimension is actually stronger than in history. Calculated in this way, the production capacity is nearly 110,000 aircraft per year. This is definitely quite terrifying.

Of course, if the Germans increase the number of strategic bombers, then this value will decrease. But there is no difficulty in the actual production capacity exceeding the historical rate of more than 2 times.

On the other hand, on the Allied side, although the United States and the United Kingdom entered the combat readiness system relatively early, their strength is obviously not much higher than in history. If the British can be calculated according to the historical difference, 26,000 a year is as high as the sky. The British's

The mobilization efficiency was not low, and they entered the war early. There was no chance of not having enough time to exert their efforts. In fact, the British reached the peak of production capacity in 1943. On the contrary, it declined in 1944.

Down. Even considering that the British have a relatively large number of bombers and a large number of Lancaster and Halifax heavy bombers. However, the scale of the British aviation industry in this dimension is definitely far less than that of Germany. Can the scale of the Allies' aircraft industry be considered?

Xu Jie cannot guarantee that the US imperialism will reach the level of full force, but what Xu Jie can guarantee is that it is absolutely impossible for the United States, Britain and France to use their air force to overwhelm the Allies alone!

Xu Jie made a careful calculation. Historically, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union constituted the main air force against Germany and Japan. In this dimension, Japan is gone, but the Soviet Union is also gone. The Soviets said that no matter how miserable they are, there is still a useful 2000

With a horsepower engine, the La series and even the coffee table can compete with the fw190d at low altitude. Even if you are knocked unconscious by a sap at first

, but the maximum annual output of the Soviet Air Force still reached a scale of over 40,000. (Of course, it is mainly single-engine aircraft and twin-engine small aircraft. If converted into man-hours, the Soviet Union is still not as good as Germany.) On this scale, Japan can compare

? So in fact, the Allied air force system composed of the United States, Britain, and France in this plane is weaker than the historical air force strength of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union.

As for the technical level, even though the overall performance of the historical fw190d and bf109k is weaker than that of the p51 and p47, they can still be fought. The gap between the two sides is far less than the big gap between the egg and the p51 on the Pacific battlefield.

If the technical level is not too different (the Germans are not short of fuel this time), the loss can be calculated from a mathematical point of view. What's more, the German technology is stronger in this plane.

And the strength of Germany and Austria in this dimension is far stronger than that of Germany and Japan in history. Considering the direct distance between the United States and the European battlefield and Germany's powerful navy, in the face of the wolf pack and the Allied navy, how many aircraft and fuel bombs can the Americans use?

Shipping to the UK is an unknown! Don’t forget, although the Allied navies are weaker than those of the United States, Britain and France on paper, the main force of the German and Austrian navies is in the Mediterranean, fighting at home and on the inside, and there are

Spain is an important forward base. It is unrealistic for the Allied Navy to use a large number of anti-submarine weapons while ensuring the decisive battle advantage of the fleet. Moreover, the base layout is too poor. The British mainland has resources, but the United States is too far away? France? Everyone

Understand, the Allied Air Force wants to get rid of China and defeat the Allied Air Force alone? It’s better to just go to bed! If it doesn’t work, the British will have a taste of burning London!

Of course, Xu Jie would not tell the Allied Powers what he had painstakingly summarized. Only when the situation of the Allied Powers becomes more difficult, China can gain more benefits from it. Just when the Allied Air Force said that it could at least hold on and guarantee undefeat

, the Allied navy also expressed rare optimism. And they are more confident than the air force! The reason for this is that Germany

The performance of the navy has been poor since World War I! During the Italian Civil War, it was suppressed by the Allies and China and did not dare to say a word. In the only Mediterranean naval battle, the German Mediterranean Fleet and the Austro-Hungarian Fleet were furious. And in this Iran War, Germany

Although the Germans won the victory, it was a victory achieved after mobilizing the strength of the German naval system, giving people a feeling that the victory was not achieved by force.

The United States believes that this is a manifestation of the immaturity of the German navy. If we look purely from the perspective of breaking diplomatic relations and submarine warfare, the performance of the Germans is indeed not as good as that of the United States and Britain. This is like being a thief, but it is difficult to prevent them. As the saying goes,

A person who commits a thief in a thousand days cannot prevent a thief in a thousand days. Therefore, at the internal meeting of the Allied Powers, the United States, Britain and France believed that if they could send an effective raiding fleet to attack Germany's routes in the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, they would be at a disadvantage.

of

The German Navy will inevitably allocate a considerable part of its strength to maintain the security of communication lines, which will lead to a further decline in the German Navy's mobile strength. "Even judging from the strength of the British Home Fleet, the U.S. Atlantic Fleet and the French Fleet, we can already fight in a decisive battle

We have a certain advantage in China. And as long as we seal the Allied fleet in the Mediterranean, most of the sea areas of the United States, Britain and France will be safe." Churchill once commented on the situation at this time.

The Allies thought very well. Relying on their naval superiority on paper, the Allies could completely cut off Germany's defense line from the North Sea, the North Atlantic to the Mediterranean. Although Germany had already transferred its local naval industry and shipbuilding industry to the Mediterranean more than ten years ago.

The direction of the Mediterranean Sea is shifted, but the tail cannot be lost. No matter how it is shifted, local naval facilities and production capacity still account for a relatively high proportion of the Allied navies. From the perspective of the Allied Powers, this is not considered an internal operation in the full sense.

, even though the Germans began to transfer the entire fleet, the newly built warships can still only hang around in the fish pond of the North Sea. The main force of the entire German fleet is still divided. Therefore, the Allies believe that as long as France is still there, the local German fleet will

With the Allied fleets in the southern Mediterranean, it is difficult to fight alone and it is difficult to form a rope. Whether from the perspective of breaking diplomatic relations or from the perspective of the main decisive battle, the Allied Powers seem to have a firm advantage in the ocean! There is no possibility of losing.
