reborn super empire

Today's naval forces, apart from being somewhat deficient in combat experience, are definitely the leaders in the world in other aspects.

In terms of size, the Navy has five fleets, namely the Pacific Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Arctic Ocean Fleet, the Antarctic Fleet, and the Internal Guard Fleet, and each fleet's minimum armed force is two aircraft carrier battle groups.

You know, these two aircraft carrier battle groups alone have sixty or seventy warships, and this is not counting other types of warships, such as supply ships, transport ships and so on. If these miscellaneous things are included, With a fleet based on two aircraft carrier battle groups, the number of his warships is about one hundred.

And this is also the configuration of the Antarctic Fleet with the weakest strength and the least number of troops. The Internal Guard Fleet follows closely behind and has three aircraft carrier battle groups, one of which is stationed in Vladivostok all the year round, and the other two are in the country.

Then there is the Arctic Ocean Fleet, which has four aircraft carrier battle groups, which are mainly responsible for maintaining the newly occupied Soviet territory. The northern sea area is too large, and at the same time, it has to defend against sneak attacks by the United States and other countries, so four aircraft carrier battle groups, plus an inner guard fleet There are a total of five aircraft carrier battle groups patrolling the waters of the former Soviet Union.

Further on, the size of the Indian Ocean Fleet is the same as that of the Pacific Fleet. The two fleets each have five aircraft carrier battle groups. What makes Su Dao most excited is that among the ten aircraft carrier battle groups in the two fleets, there is one aircraft carrier battle group. The two aircraft carriers of the group were built by themselves.

And the other escort ships are all made by themselves. It may be a bit troublesome to build such a huge aircraft carrier, but it is much easier for small escort warships.

And with the equipment of the Chinese sword.The strength of the naval escort fleet has also begun to change, and most of them were originally focused on sea defense, air defense and anti-submarine.But now, they put their main energy on anti-submarine and air defense.As for the enemy ships on the sea, as long as they are not lucky, it is difficult for them to see the shadow of the fleet.

In the Mediterranean, the two aircraft carrier battle groups that were planning to go to the Atlantic to attack the British warships stopped when they approached Greece.

The reason is simple. The war on the Soviet side is over, but Italy, which was picked out, is still mired in the quagmire. As we all know, Italy's main goals are in North Africa and Greece.

Greece at this time is an absolutely weak country militarily.But even so, Italy still failed to win here. There are many reasons, including disagreements within the army, disagreement, lack of fighting spirit among the soldiers, and so on.

So now among the same front, only Italy is the most tragic and least powerful country, no matter how you fight or how you lose.No matter how you fight, you won't win.

Although Germany intends to help Italy, but now is not the time. Germany's butt in the Soviet Union has not been wiped clean. How can it have time to help Italy solve the chaos?

And two aircraft carrier battle groups are on their way to the Atlantic Ocean.The Germans knew the news, so Xiao Huzi discussed with Su Dao, hoping that the fleet could stop on the way.Support the Italian army on the Greek side.

And Germany also needs time to prepare, if the fleet is now in the Atlantic Ocean.On the contrary, it will lack the support of the German army, even if it can win.It is also impossible to achieve that kind of hearty victory.

Ever since, after asking Mussolini for information about Greece, the two aircraft carrier battle groups stopped in Greece halfway. Here, they will not give too much support to the Italian army. There are mainly two The reason is, first, this is not their focus, and second, there will be a fierce battle in the Atlantic Ocean, and they must store enough ammunition.

Fighting away from the mainland, if you don’t plan to use ammunition, it will be the most painful thing at that time. It will take at least half a month and nearly 20 days to resupply every time. How can there be so much time to waste?

The fifth aircraft carrier battle group and the No.17 aircraft carrier battle group of the Indian Ocean Fleet are in charge of the mission. The temporary first fleet is composed of an old fleet and a newly formed fleet.

"Just throw some bombs, missiles are so expensive, don't waste them here."

The flagship of the Provisional First Fleet is a battleship of the fifth aircraft carrier battle group, numbered 1005, and the aircraft carrier is the flagship of the aircraft carrier battle group. There are two levels of command. The loss of a command organization will not cause the command of the fleet to fall into trouble. confusion.

As the commander of the Provisional First Fleet, although Wang Lin was a little reluctant after receiving the order, he still did not refuse, and the troops sent were not many, only the fighter planes on two aircraft carriers were dispatched.

The remaining two aircraft carriers are still on standby. They are not in their own country, so they can do whatever they want regardless of the consequences.

In a place like Europe, the closest to them is Saudi Arabia, and the distance is about five or six hundred kilometers. Although it is very fast for an airplane, it takes less than an hour to arrive, but for an aircraft carrier For the formation, this period of time is still too long.

"It's true that the Italian army has been fighting for such a long time, but they haven't even taken Greece. I really don't know what His Majesty thinks. He would choose to stand on the united front with Italy."

An officer shook his head speechlessly.

In such a situation, no one can do anything. If they are not afraid of god-like opponents, they are afraid of pig-like teammates. At any rate, the Germans are a little more reliable than the Italians. Otherwise, they will be even worse than they are now. depressed.

Even so, the fleet is in a state of neither sadness nor joy. Everyone feels that bringing Italy is simply a burden. We have defeated the Soviet Union and are planning to attack the British. However, the Italians can't even beat Greece. defeat.

If the British send a powerful naval fleet in Greece, it will be fun. Not only can it directly block the supply line of the African Legion, but it can also block the nearest support route of the Chinese Empire, or fight with the British fleet here. frame, or choose a detour, increasing support costs.

And for this detour, you have to go directly from the southern tip of Africa, that is, to South Africa, and the distance has increased by more than a few thousand miles?

Although I don't know what the situation is, it turns out that this is possible. According to intelligence, since the defeat of the Soviet Union, the British have also begun to panic. .

Even the Americans couldn't help it again. Although the materials and personnel originally planned to support the Soviet Union were no longer needed, the United States supported all these resources and personnel to the United Kingdom, and even made all advanced weapons and equipment come over.

And the U.S. Congress, which has always played a negative role, generously agreed to any of Roosevelt's requests this time, because now even fools know that if Britain loses the war, the U.S. will be next.

No one can imagine that one day the flames of war will be ignited on the mainland of the United States. Americans, who think they are the world's boss, dare not say so on the world stage, but they always think so in their hearts. They will never allow any The nation's armed forces are present in the United States.

Therefore, the current world situation has undergone new changes, and the biggest victim and beneficiary is the United Kingdom, because at this moment the United Kingdom has become the center of the war.

The United States sent 20 troops to the United Kingdom, where they wore the uniform of the British Army, but the equipment they used was still the standard equipment of the US Army.

This time, the United States did not spare any effort. It supported more than a hundred British warships alone. Coupled with the original naval strength of the United Kingdom, it was enough to dominate the world.

The premise is that there is no Chinese Empire here to disrupt the situation. It is precisely because of the emergence of the Chinese Empire that the current British navy does not dare to come out too boldly. Their main task is to cruise in the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco Fortify both sides of the strait, and at the same time send a fleet to prepare at the other end of the Strait of Gibraltar.

They must do their utmost to block the support fleet of the Chinese Empire at the other end of the Suez Canal, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

As long as there is no naval support from the Chinese Empire, it will be difficult to break through the English Channel guarded by the British and American coalition forces only with the German naval military power.

Therefore, once the fleet of the Chinese Empire breaks through the Strait of Gibraltar, the scope of activities of the British and American coalition forces will be greatly reduced. At that time, they can only defend the English Channel with all their strength to prevent the Germans from taking the opportunity to land in the UK.

Once the German army continuously lands on the British mainland, the navy's resistance will be useless. At that time, it is estimated that they will all have to go to the United States to seek refuge, just like the French army took refuge in the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom and the United States will not let the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire break through the Mediterranean Sea or the Suez Canal easily, and the fleet of the Chinese Empire must enter the Atlantic Ocean with all its strength, so in the next period of time , the Mediterranean Sea and the vicinity of the Strait of Gibraltar will be key areas that determine future historical trends.

As for the British, this time they are undoubtedly one step too late. The Soviet War has just ended, and it is just when the soldiers of the Northern Army Group are taking turns to rest, and the British naturally think that the navy is also going to take turns, so at this time It will definitely not come out.

Therefore, at this time, the British Navy is not in a hurry to transport some required materials to Greece through transport ships. They plan to build some large fixed forts near the Mediterranean coast, in case the fleet of the Chinese Empire appears here. , They also have the confidence to give them a fatal blow.
