Chapter 2005 Total War
The issue of adhesives can be dealt with slowly. Anyway, the German submarine has not yet been built. The Ministry of the Navy is most concerned about the first "island" class aircraft carrier that is about to be launched. This aircraft carrier will be assigned to the Atlantic Fleet in the future.

In the past, the southern African navy has always been dominated by the Indian Ocean Fleet. After the battleship "Congo" was transferred from the Atlantic Fleet to the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet is now equipped with four aircraft carriers, three battleships, and nearly a hundred other combat and auxiliary ships. Ships, comprehensive strength can be ranked number one in the world.

Now there is only one "Madagascar" battleship left in the Atlantic Fleet, and two "City" class aircraft carriers, which is certainly not enough to fight against the five "Yorktown" class ships that the US Navy will soon serve, so the first "Island" class aircraft carrier It will be equipped with the Atlantic Fleet to deal with the increasing pressure on the Atlantic.

This result must have made the Indian Ocean Fleet dissatisfied, but the second "island" class and the third "island" class will be assigned to the Indian Ocean Fleet, which barely appeases the dissatisfied generals of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Who would think there are too many aircraft carriers?

Changi Naval Base, Fleet Command.

Three months ago, the Changi Squadron was just established, and Tang Li, the former captain of the heavy cruiser "St. George", was appointed as the commander of the Changi Squadron.

The Southern African Ministry of Defense has more than 5 troops stationed at the Changi Naval Base. In addition to the two alliance divisions, there are also two Marine Corps combat brigades, plus squadron officers and road-based aviation, the total strength is about 8000. [-] people.

This number does not include the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company and the regular army of the East India Federation Government. If these two parts are included, Tang Li can mobilize more than 50 troops, which is enough to shake up the military structure in East Asia.

"Everything is fine now. The only problem is that there are no battleships and aircraft carriers. We have two 'Table Mountain'-class supply ships, which can be converted into escort carriers at any time. Equipped with 88 carrier-based aircraft, the modified escort aircraft carrier can only carry 20 carrier-based aircraft, when will our Changi Squadron have a real aircraft carrier—” East India Prime Minister Huang Tingyao is worried. Breaking through the defense lines of the East India Fleet and the Changi Squadron, and entering the relevant waters of the East India, Huang Tingyao was very worried that the Changi Squadron could not guarantee the safety of the East India.

Japanese are cheap.

It will not go deep into the East India Sea, resulting in the irrefutable fact that along the East India Sea, it stays in the public waterway in one minute, and breaks through the East India territorial waters in the next minute, which is very annoying.

The Americans are now shrinking their heads. After MacArthur was transferred back to the United States to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Army, the strength of the United States in the Philippines was further weakened. The Japanese combined fleet broke through the Philippine waters. The trust established by the navy has disappeared. The Japanese combined fleet may now invade the East Indian waters through the Philippine waters at any time, which makes Huang Tingyao really unacceptable.

"The Ministry of the Navy's positioning of the Changi Squadron is an auxiliary fleet, so the Changi Squadron may never have a real aircraft carrier." Tang Li can only sigh up to the sky. The strength of the Changi Squadron is actually good. Without an aircraft carrier fatal flaw.

The current Changi Naval Base, the port includes the living area, with a total area of ​​about 110 square kilometers. There are more than 15 naval officers and soldiers and their families living here all the year round. The Changi Squadron now has four heavy cruisers and six light cruisers. There are more than 30 destroyers and submarines in total, and nearly 20 auxiliary ships. The strength is second to none in East Asia.

Of course, it is still incomparable with the Japanese Combined Fleet, but it is much stronger than the British Far East Fleet, the French East India Fleet, and the poor Dutch fleet. The biggest reliance on the Changi Naval Base is land-based aviation. Two wings of torpedo attack aircraft, one wing of torpedo bombers, and one wing of ground attack aircraft, unless the combined fleet is fully dispatched, it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to the Changi Naval Base.

Within the Indian Ocean, there are now two home ports of the Indian Ocean Fleet, one is the local Port Edward, and the other is the Adan Air Force Base located in the very center of the Indian Ocean.

Apart from Adan Air Force Base, there are Christmas Island and Devil Island closest to Changi Naval Base. Farther away, air force assistance can be mobilized from Ceylon and Australia, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Changi Naval Base.

Tang Li still has some things to tell Huang Ting Yaoming that the Southern African Navy does not pay much attention to the Changi Naval Base. While showing weakness to the Japanese Combined Fleet, it is also a trap for the Japanese Combined Fleet. If the Japanese Combined Fleet takes the bait, then the Southern African Navy will With thunderous force, the Japanese United Fleet will know what modern warfare is.

Back to the issue of the aircraft carrier, Tang Li is actually not that urgent.

It would be better for the Changi Squadron to have an aircraft carrier. If not, would it be better to catch it with nothing?

Impossible, even if there is no aircraft carrier, Tang Li will fight with the Japanese until the last one. Southern Africa is not the captain of the transportation brigade, if you lose your land, you will lose all your land; if you lose your land, you will gain all your land exist--

Just do it!

"Since we can't have more aircraft carriers, we need to have more submarines. I have collected 5000 million rand. If all of them are used to buy the latest submarines, how much can I buy?" Huang Tingyao is self-reliant and united In case the fleet comes over, the southern Africa at the Changi Naval Base can be withdrawn. Where will the Chinese in East India withdraw?

When hearing the figure of 5000 million rand, even Tang Li couldn't help but miss half a beat of his heart.

5000 million is a lot!

The cost of an "island" class aircraft carrier, plus a carrier-based aircraft, is only about 1000 million rand, and five ships can be built for 5000 million.

The ghost submarines are already products 20 years ago. The cost of each one is about 20, and the selling price is about 100 million. Even if the latest ghost submarine is more expensive, it is only 5000 yuan, and 25 million is [-] ships. ——

Alas, by coincidence, all the submarines in East India now add up to 25.

"Why do you want a submarine? If it's a surface ship, you can use land-based aviation if you can't. As long as the Japanese dare to come, let them come and go!" Tang Li was impassioned.

Huang Tingyao's face was full of bitterness.

Everyone knows that surface ships are cheap and plentiful. A destroyer is only about [-] rand, which is ridiculously cheap.

However, the combat effectiveness of destroyers is incomparable with that of submarines. East India is not southern Africa, and there is a huge gap in the main warships. Southern Africa can develop aircraft carriers unscrupulously, while East India can only buy some pitiful submarines to support its facade.

Of course, destroyers can also be bought, but in front of the powerful battleships of the United Fleet, destroyers really have no advantage, and they will be sunk as soon as they meet.

"There is a problem with your direction now. Why do you want to buy submarines? No matter how many submarines you buy, you will not be able to confront the Japanese Combined Fleet head-on, so it is better to use the limited funds in the most urgent places." Tang Li really couldn't bear to watch Going to a dead end in the East India, the defense of the Changi Naval Base also requires the cooperation of the East India.

The Americans are now in a shabby posture. The British and French colonies in Southeast Asia are clearly hopeless. The Portuguese can almost ignore it. The only thing that can help southern Africa is the East India.

"East India is full of waste, and we don't know what is the most urgent place." Tang Li was surprised by Huang Tingyao's answer, how did you become the prime minister?

Note, the position of Huang Tingyao should definitely be the president and not the prime minister, but it involves the issue of overseas Chinese nation building, so Huang Tingyao can only be the prime minister.

If the brothers really can't accept it, then it can be understood that the East India is still the Dominion of the Queen of the Netherlands, so Huang Tingyao, the prime minister, is logical.

"Army, try to use all the spare power to strengthen the army, more advanced weapons, stricter training, larger scale - if the Japanese dare to attack East India, then give up all coastal areas and release the Japanese Go to the land and fight again, as long as the Japanese dare to go deep into the inland, then all the Japanese will be wiped out!" Tang Li already had a countermeasure, and it would be unwise to compete with the Japanese for the navy.

Huang Tingyao was dumbfounded. In his concept, letting the Japanese land was tantamount to a complete failure.

Just when Tang Li and Huang Tingyao were worried about Japan's military expansion, on October 10, a Japanese ronin in Yecheng was unwilling to pay for betel nuts, and had a dispute with a Chinese who sold betel nuts.

After the police arrived, they tried to bring the Japanese ronin back to the police station to assist in the investigation, but the Japanese ronin refused.

Subsequently, the Yecheng police took compulsory measures, and the Japanese ronin resisted violently. During the law enforcement process, the Japanese ronin was seriously injured.

The Japanese Consulate in Coconut City then issued an ultimatum to the East India government, demanding that the East India government hand over the law enforcement police and punish the merchants who sold betel nuts.

The East India government will certainly not agree to such a request.

The Japanese government then sent a combined fleet to put pressure on East India. On November 11, the destroyer "Akizuki" of the Japanese combined fleet brazenly broke into the territorial waters of East India and threatened East India with force.

This is the first time that the Japanese Combined Fleet entered the East India Sea in a grand manner.

When the "Qiuyue" entered the waters of East India, East India No. 168 Ghost Submarine and No. 188 Ghost Submarine monitored the "Autumn Moon" throughout the process.

"Let's fight!" No. 168 Chief Officer Liu Zhiyuan couldn't bear it anymore. The behavior of the "Qiuyue" was tantamount to aggression for East India.

"Wait a little longer——" Zhang Xin, the captain of Ghost Submarine No. 168, was waiting for Yecheng's order.

It would be easy to sink the Akizuki, but that would probably trigger a full scale war between Japan and the East Indies.

ps: Chapter 3 was delivered, after all, I still overestimated my codeword speed——
