Chapter 1375 The dilemma of the Allied Powers

At this time, Germany had verified the excellent results of submarines and other weapons and determined to purchase new weapons such as submarines and reconnaissance aircraft from China on a large scale. Although a lot of money has been invested, the future compensation will be quite good. In addition, Deng Jie will be active in the North Atlantic for the next six months until the first batch of German submarines are delivered and used, and can even accept internships from some German submarine officers and soldiers. This almost solves the biggest problem in Germany at present, the problem of destroying the traffic lines of the Allied Powers. As long as the submarine remains strong and has not been cracked by the Allied Powers in various ways, Germany will be quite safe.

Because of this, according to the previous agreement with China, we began to announce the successful development of a new generation of submarines, which can effectively compete with the US sonar, and announced the contribution of this ocean-going submarine force, including dozens of warships of Minotao, more than 200 ocean-going freighters, with a total tonnage of more than 1.5 million tons. We obtained the winter combat plan of 1915 and dealt a heavy blow to the Allies.

Of course, this achievement cannot be made public to the public, but it was not carried out internally. Both sides have great confrontations in different fields between the Allies and the Allies, and the same is true in the field of intelligence. Although it is impossible to completely destroy the other party's intelligence network, Germany knows that it will leak intelligence at roughly the level. This is to confuse the Allies, and of course it is impossible to keep it strictly confidential. Through this method, go to the Allies.

Sinking dozens of warships and 1.5 million tons of merchant ship tonnage. Such a huge contribution is enough to make this submarine force reach the sky in one step. Germany also gave the highest level medal, but the commendation personnel did not announce it. This is normal for the two major groups. The submarines are not secretly secreted, and the troops that are highly offensive and easily produce outstanding results. Their commanders are almost absolutely confidential. Only after they really come out, when other troops, such as battleships or fast fleets, will they promulgate their previous military achievements. Sometimes, in the navy or in the army, the generals who suddenly emerge from these two troops often come out of these two troops.

The reason why it is so confidential and other troops will not do this is very simple. These troops have specificities. After assassinating the commander, it is easy to have a greater impact on this unit. This is also the willingness of the Allies and the Allies to do it. In this way, the Chinese troops became part of the German submarine force without knowing it, completely covering up the possibility of being discovered.&65288;&26825;&33457;&31958;&567;&3 5828;&32593;&32;&87;&119;&119;&46;&77;&105;&97;&110;&72;&117;&97;&84;&97;&110;&103;&46;&67;&99;&32;&25552;&20379;&84;&120;&116;&20813;&36153;&19979;&36733;&65289;

In fact, the UK spent a huge price and did not doubt it when she got this information from various channels. After all, the first thing they suspected was Germany, and Germany gave another reward, so there was no problem in this.

I didn't even figure out my own losses, but instead obtained real numbers from the intelligence department. This may be the tragedy of the British side. There was no reliable radio. For naval warfare, it took them 10 days or even a month to gradually feedback the information of naval warfare based on the situation. This is a little helpful for the record. For naval warfare itself, it has no use at all, and it cannot even be rescued. Without sufficient preparation, I just rely on life jackets and rubber boats to survive in the turbulent Atlantic Ocean, which is extremely terrible. This is also the fundamental reason why naval warfare or raid warfare had a high war loss rate before World War II. Even before World War II, a merchant ship was discovered one month later. In one month, almost everyone died.

This wave of attack by cadres Deng Jie not only severely hit the merchant fleet of the Allied Powers, but also had a great blow to the military. The 120,000 tons of ships and more than 7,000 sailors basically leveled the previous losses, including merchant ships, 1.5 million tons of merchant ships, more than 200 ships, and more than 7,000 sailors. These are familiar. Although the population of American and British sailors and watermen is huge, the real losses are not so easy to replenish.

The UK learned the real figures of this wave of losses through the celebration report from Germany. Although it was not accurate, it basically formed a relatively accurate figure after comparing them with their existing number. There was a slight deviation in personnel losses. Germany only estimated it based on rough estimates. The UK was relatively accurate. Without confirming its whereabouts, it could only locate the missing first. But gradually, with more and more accurate news, fewer and fewer missing people were missing and more and more people died.

The British Admiralty and the representative of the Ministry of Commerce sat there with a gloomy face. In front of him and the Minister of the Admiralty, there was a list of lost sailors. Although the merchant ship was the owner of the ship, under the current war and military control, it was almost equivalent to the military requisition of these ships, and this was also sunk for military purposes. These casualties must be given a pension.

A month later, when the exact news was obtained, the people were almost dead. Although some ships searched in similar areas, they were huge oceans, searching for the locations of merchant ships and survivors with uncertain locations. If you want to find them, you really look for a needle in a haystack.

Even in later generations, under the dual guarantees of global GPS positioning system and communication system, searching and rescuing survivors of crashed merchant ships is a very serious matter, and even the chance of success is low, let alone in this era.

In the end, among the sunken ships, the losses of sailors and sailors were as high as 95%. For various reasons, Chinese submarines did not continue to attack after the sunk. This did not save their lives. Even reaching the 5% surviving rate, it was a little bit of luck. A group of 12 merchant ships was lucky enough to avoid the reconnaissance plane. When the reconnaissance aircraft, Deng Jie arrived at the sea area. They happened to meet the team of rubber boats running through the ocean currents. They rescued 4 rubber boats and boldly went forward, searching for the sea area, and rescued a total of 121 people. If this number was missing, the total loss would be even higher, maybe 97%, or even 98%.

After seeing off the unsatisfied representative of the Ministry of Commerce, the Navy looked at the losses at hand and the military's losses, and there was a special department to deal with them, and the Minister of the Navy did not need to deal with them. However, the gap in the 1.5 million tons of merchant ship was a huge hole. How should this be made up for?

At present, the prices of merchant ships are already quite high. Free capitalism, most of the commodity prices are controlled by the market, which is the basis for capitalism to be based on the footsteps. Even if the European War begins, most of the resources are under the military control, the prices of certain products cannot have a significant impact. Among them, the price of ships is a very important factor.

Since the beginning of the war, the prices of merchant ships have increased significantly. Now, they have risen to an extremely high level. Before the war, the 10,000-ton ship was only about 1.2 million US dollars, and now it has increased to more than 3 million US dollars. That is, after the emergence of sonar, the Allied Powers greatly suppressed the German sea wolf tactics, and then it has slowly dropped. Now, the Minister of the Navy is very clear that as long as the news of the loss of 1.5 million tons of merchant ships in the Allied Powers spread, the prices of merchant ships will definitely rise in response.

Knowing this, it cannot be changed. The reason is very simple. These 1.5 million tons of merchant ships must be supplemented. The United States sent millions of troops and now has received a considerable number of prisoners of war from China. These require supplementary weapons. In addition, the United States almost alone supports the entire European war. In this case, 1.5 million tons of merchant ships are missing, which is a fatal matter.

According to the cost of a 10,000-ton merchant ship, this is 450 million US dollars. For the UK, this loss is huge and can be said to have a huge blow to the UK. Even if money is not a problem, the key problem now is that it cannot buy goods with money, and it takes time for the manufacturer of the merchant ship to occupy the dock. This is no longer enough for the UK to meet this point.

Before, because they did not declare war with China, they could still order Chinese merchant ships. Now, the two sides are in a state of war. They confiscated China's things and gained huge gains, but China also confiscated their orders. Although the harvest is much higher than the reduction, now, they have received less than 1.5 million tons of merchant ships for 450 million.

This matter cannot be solved by the efforts of Britain. In addition, a considerable number of the lost merchant ships belong to the United States, so the Americans must be notified of this matter.

At this time, the United States is digesting China's wealth, and the United States is huge in scale, with US$12 billion obtained from China, of which the amount of cash is very small, only more than 200 million. For ordinary people, it is a huge wealth that cannot be attached, but for the country, it is not conspicuous. The remaining gains are basically all kinds of materials.

China's materials can be said to be irreplaceable resources and are hard currency. Of the 12 billion yuan, nearly half are medicines and silk fabrics. These commodities that other countries cannot produce cannot be produced. After the Allies blocked Chinese products, the price has begun to rise. Although the remaining half, although not irreplaceable, are necessities of daily necessities and consumables. To a certain extent, the cost and price are lower than those produced by the United States and have better quality.

In order to obtain enough funds, the United States has used some operations to sell some of these things, and most of them are still sold slowly. It is expected that when all these products are sold in a year or two, the amount of money they receive will eventually reach about 15 billion, and even if they are acquired in a short period of time, it will exceed more than 5 billion US dollars. (To be continued.)
