Chapter 1386 Target New York
The ocean is so vast and huge. Even if it is four more than 45,000 tons, the world's largest battleship is very inconspicuous in the face of a huge ocean. As long as you go deep into the depths of the ocean and take some ordinary ships that are not suitable for but are accessible to warships, there is no problem at all, let alone at present, because submarines are moving around from time to time, the United States has greatly reduced the number of merchant ships in the Caribbean region. Most merchant ships that transport essential goods have been transferred to the west coast of the United States, and there are very few remaining on the east coast.
This scarcity does not mean that there is no ship at all. The United States has the most unique conditions in the world. The huge American continent has one of the most comprehensive resources in the world. Its close relationship with Europe and its own development has allowed the United States to complete the process of industrialization, and with its strong industrialization, it has become the most industrial country in the world.
Such a country has strong industries and even a few agriculture and fisheries in the world, which are relatively developed. The east and west coasts, different regions, different ocean currents and monsoons have formed fishing grounds. Countless fishermen work in these fishing grounds, especially the closer they are to the near sea, even if there are no fishing grounds, there are a large number of fishing boats moving.
The fantasy level will not be close to the coastline, at least not close before reaching the target, but it cannot penetrate completely into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. This will detour too far. There are many baths close to the continental shelf. It is not easy to cross the entire North Atlantic Ocean and enter the core area of the United States.
The captain of the supply ship looked at the warship that was leaving and sighed. He knew very well what kind of test the warship formation would face next. He could not dare to do this. He even followed it forward quickly. His mission was not light. Next, he needed to go to Brazil to complete the supply of supplies in the shortest time and then go to the depths of the North Atlantic.
The warships attack the United States, not just New York. If they are only targeting New York, it is just a formality. Just as the US military used aircraft carriers, used long-range bombers, and bombed Japan Tokyo in one-way. It was just a symbolic meaning, but it lost a large number of fighter jets. Many fighter jets fell into the sea and forced to land in the Japanese-controlled area. There were very few people who could land safely.
In some cases, symbolic meaning is also meaning. The American bombing almost broke the Japanese heart. That is to say, even the Japanese locality is not enough to make up for it, and it had a profound impact on the Japanese's psychology and the entire World War II combat plan.
During World War II, the United States was rich and powerful. The 16 modified B25bs were given up as soon as they said they gave up. Although China does not take warships seriously now, a warship worth tens of millions of Northwest Yuan is far from China's huge economic base, but similarly, he sent four fantasy-class ships, which did not make him sacrifice. Under the current circumstances, all four mobilized elite troops to serve battleships, and 5,000 naval personnel were definitely not a small number. The warships were far less important than these personnel. If it were not for demonstrating China's strength and allowing the United States to feel the pain of the war and disrupting the actions of the United States and the Allies, China would never rashly adopt such a method.
China is not Britain, France, the United States and Germany. Its naval tradition is extremely small. In other words, the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao took a huge price and continued to advance, which caused the current situation of China's naval blowout, but there are still huge gaps in truly qualified naval soldiers.
Unlike other naval powers, China has extremely large manufacturing capabilities. If you want to build 60 main ships with a capacity of more than 40,000 tons a year, there is no problem. Whether it is production capacity or capital, China can support such an explosion of strength, but there are not so many people.
Under such a premise, what China can choose is to build a batch of high-quality warships, increase the level of protection for warships at any cost, use machinery and automation as much as possible, and replace human roles. However, even so, the progress is relatively slow. Before electronic products develop to an extremely high level, it is impossible to reduce the personnel on the warship on a large scale. Besides, the battleships are already complicated to operate and require a large number of personnel.
China has a complete plan for the four sneak attack warships. After attacking New York, it will go south one after another to attack some harbor cities down New York. When the materials are almost the same, it will supply the North Atlantic Ocean and then conduct cost-effective attacks on the entire east coast of the United States.
In the meantime, the supply ships were very important. Almost all of the supply ships that had previously served submarines were transferred over to the submarine forces responsible for breaking the North Atlantic Ocean. The submarine force was only able to rely on the German submarine base for supply. The combat ratio was greatly reduced compared to before, but there was no way out. This sneak attack fleet was even more important.
To complete overseas supply, especially in the sensitive part of the North Atlantic, in which the North Atlantic, the Chinese flag cannot be hung. He must hang the Brazilian flag and prevent Germany from killing it. Fortunately, unlike before, under the premise that the submarines were hit by a huge blow, German submarines rarely entered the North Atlantic. Especially when Chinese submarines were showing their power, they clearly realized their shortcomings, and the remaining submarines did not attack, but followed the Chinese submarines to conduct targeted adaptation training.
Chinese submarines have almost released most of the subsystems. The 3,000-ton submarine has a relatively large space and brings about a dozen idle people. This is no problem. On the way, Deng Jieqian also trained new troops who have not been exposed to new ships. The professional quality of the Germans is no worse than that of the Chinese Navy starting from Qingdao. The most important thing is that language is not a problem.
In itself, Germany is one of China's largest partners. Both sides have close communication in all aspects. The personnel who master German and Chinese are equally huge, especially in the navy. Even Deng Jieqian is proficient in English, French and German because of his long-term contact with foreign ships. Although he has not reached the level of professional translation, he can communicate simply, which has eliminated the difficulties between the two sides. After more than a week of rest and several personal operations, some elite sailors can already take on the job of manipulating submarines.
We have a better understanding of the attack power of the Qin-class. Out of being responsible to the officers and soldiers, they are even more unable to let their submarines set off. Currently, there are only 31 submarines active in the North Atlantic, all of which are Chinese and German submarines have returned. In the future, as long as Chinese Qin-class submarines arrive, they will be sent to the Mediterranean and even support them to Turkey and Austro-Hungarian Empire, the North Sea and Atlantic, the main battlefields. Basically, there is no room for them to survive.
There is a secret telegram contact between China and Germany, but this time, the four fantasy-level ships are too important and are carrying out incredible actions. The four ships challenge a country, even if they are fantasy-level, even if they have been modified, they have reached the peak fantasy-level. As long as there is a possibility of leaking the news, I am afraid that the ones waiting for the fantasy-level will be thousands of troops. At least, no one knows before dealing with this battle in New York.
Of course, Deng Jiegan knew that as the commander of the Chinese submarine formation, he had already entered the ranks of middle and senior officers. With great military achievements, he would definitely be promoted to another level when he returned. Although he was young and had a very high position, Deng Jiegan also used his strength to reach this level step by step. He deserves this identity. In the future, Deng Jiegan might come out of the submarine force and take a more important position, but the premise is that he must become the highest commander of the submarine.
The emergence of the Qin-class gives the possibility of submarines to the main line. In the future, there will be several submarine hunting positions in the aircraft carrier formation, mainly for anti-submarines. Compared with the air and water surface, submarines underwater also have the strength that other ships do not have.
When Cheng Biguang entered the last supply land in the Caribbean, he contacted Deng Jiegan and contacted through secret telegrams between the two sides. Among the 31 submarines, there was no German intern. When they arrived at the Caribbean and made the last supply, they also received an order to escort the Fantasy class. Large ships like Fantasy class are amazingly powerful and have amazing destructive power to the ground and sea surface. However, sometimes, there is no need to fire the main gun. No matter what, this thing is precious, so it is best to use a submarine as a supplement.
The 8 submarines successfully entered the North Atlantic Ocean. According to the plan, they may arrive faster than the Fantasy Class. However, submarines are different from warships, especially submarines like the Qin class. As long as he thinks, he has too many opportunities to hide himself and not be discovered. There is no problem in ten days and half a month in the morning. Qin class submarines have solved many problems with ocean submarines. As long as they lurk, they can support them for a long time. In this era, night is basically one of the forbidden areas for left and right combat. Warships may still be able to fight with impressions and fire. How do you fight submarines? So, as long as you are careful, the submarine is like this.
This is how long-range navigation is. Unless it is the computers and satellite navigation of later generations, which are accurate to minutes or even seconds, can multiple armies be achieved. In this era, in the air force, only China has the moment, thousands of kilometers apart, it is really not easy to coordinate with two different fleets, and they can only try their best.
Although Cheng Biguang received the support of Deng Jiegan, he was far above Deng Jiegan in terms of his seniority and status in the navy. From Deng Jiegan's father, he was almost Deng Jiegan's uncle and was very different in age. As an orthodox naval officer, he did not discriminate against submarines from the era of strong ships and cannons. After seeing the strength of submarines, he had a deeper understanding of submarines, but in his bones, he still liked to control his own strength. (To be continued.)
