From to 1935 2020

However, in the end, the high-level leaders of both sides wanted to resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations, and did not go to war directly.

During the confrontation that day, the planes in the British and Japanese fleets all took off, hovered over their respective fleets, and demonstrated. The scene of "swarms of flies flying over the fleets" left a deep impression on Yamamoto 56 at the scene.

Yamamoto 56: "Aircraft carrier, plane..."

When the main forces of the British and Japanese fleets confronted each other, the Sino-Soviet joint navy, which was the weakest on the scene, withdrew the main force ahead of time, leaving only a Soviet destroyer and the Ninghai to continue watching. period", the Chinese and the Soviet Union are not afraid that the Japanese will make a move.

Fortunately, during this period, neither Yamamoto 56, Inoue Narumi, nor even Emperor Yongren wanted to go to war.The standoff in Tokyo Bay lasted only a few days.The final outcome ended with the Japanese government completely detaining the Spey with its crew and crew in accordance with the "neutrality law", promising that it would not be released before the end of the war.

Afterwards, the British fleet left extremely depressed, and the Japanese, who took advantage of it, happily received a pocket battleship. As for the Sino-Soviet navy, they watched a good show as soy sauce.

After November, with the defeat of the British Air Battle, Hitler lost confidence in the confrontation and Britain, and had to consider putting more pressure on the British elsewhere.Then he ordered the German diplomats stationed in Japan to secretly contact the Japanese, expressing his willingness to sell this pocket battleship to Japan-the price will be discussed after the war is over, and during this period, there is also a high-speed cruise ship Scharnhorst in Japan , the ship sailed to Japan to hide because of the outbreak of war to escape the seizure of Britain and France. In history, Germany finally sold it to Japan, and then it was transformed into the "Shenying" aircraft carrier.

This time, Hitler simply "packed" the two ships together and sold them to the Japanese.

After the confrontation in Tokyo Bay, Yamamoto 56 remembered the "quasi-allies" across the strait, China and the Soviet Union. The Soviets have been increasing the number of aircraft carriers recently.

After the defeat in China in 3, the Japanese economy collapsed, and they were heavily in debt. Japan, whose naval military expenditure was less than in history, was forced to shrink the plan to build two Yamato-class battleships into one—if it didn’t shrink, two ships If they are built together, they will become two unfinished ships due to lack of funds.You must know that during this period, there were two other Ruihe-class aircraft carriers being built on the berth, which also cost money.As for the plans for the No. 4 and No. [-] ships in history, they were aborted before they even started.

The construction of the Musashi has completely stopped at this time, and all resources have been misappropriated to speed up the construction of other ships-because of the impact of the defeat, the construction time of Yamato Musashi was more than half a year later than in history. Due to the lack of funds and various stagnations of external pressure, the construction progress was nearly a year behind the same period in history.If the two ships were built at the same time, it would not be possible to enter service until October [-] at the earliest.

But in Japan now, it is impossible to wait until that time.The domestic voices shouting "Don't miss the European Express" are increasing day by day, coming from the bottom up, and the pressure to go south to grab the colonies is also increasing day by day. It is as strong as Yamamoto 56, and it cannot withstand the pressure at this time.

"According to the experience of transforming a cruise ship into an air carrier for the Soviets in the past, it only takes half a year at most to transform an air carrier..."

In November, when Hitler presented the warship cruise ship, Yamamoto 56 proposed to his superiors to transform the German cruise ship into an aircraft carrier, and the proposal was quickly passed.

When Yamamoto 56 put forward this proposal, he had already had a vague idea in his mind: to use the carrier-based aircraft on the air carrier to sneak attack the American warships parked in the military port-this idea was read in the book written by Huang Ke before In the "Prophecy Book", there was a flashback when it was mentioned that the US aircraft carrier attacked the fleet, but now, this idea is even stronger.

After Hitler sent the big red envelope of the warship cruise, he once again handed over an olive branch to Japan: the Japanese-German alliance...

At this time, an important deviation occurred in history. Hitler, who was disadvantaged in the west, felt that the Soviet Union in the east was too powerful to be touched for the time being, but at this time he quietly shifted his gaze to the south—he looked to North Africa.

But before that, one thing Hitler really wanted to do was to fight for Spain. As long as he could draw Spain to his side, let Germany garrison troops, and use the air force to cut off the shipping in the Strait of Gibraltar, the transportation between the British and the Far East could be greatly increased. The cost, especially the transfer of troops by the British Empire to North Africa, has become quite troublesome, and the strategic significance is extremely important.

Since November, the German special envoys have frequently traveled between France and Spain, and frequently hooked up with Franco. Franco, who had just finished the civil war, suddenly changed from one head to two big ones.

Chapter 339 In 1941, there was no Soviet-German war!

After 1940, Europe was in full swing.

However, China, which used to be a chessboard, unexpectedly discovered that in this year, it has become the largest arms exporter in Asia.

China, which was already prepared for France's sudden defeat, first sent all the "British weapons" collected in the country to the Soviet Union in advance, and used the Soviet Union to sell them back to the British Empire, clearing the country of British weapons.

And in August, another "surprise" came, and Italy began to "reach out" to Greece.

Italy in this plane was unprecedentedly "honest" during the French campaign, and it didn't try to take advantage of the danger to reach out to Vichy France, and then was drawn back like a pig's face - as in history, the Italian army attacked France The Alps defense line, the French army killed 37 people, injured 52 people, and missing 150 people during the 631-day battle, and cost Italy 2600 people killed in battle, 2100 people were injured, 3878 people were frostbitten, and [-] people were captured. Successfully light up the "Disgraceful" medal.

In this plane, because of the development of oil fields in Libya and the discovery of rich mineral deposits, Mussolini's thoughts are all on keeping the one-acre-three-point land here, plus selling oil and ore between Germany, Britain and France to make a fortune , but did not launch the "familial (Italian)" war that made him lose face-no one else, the French colony of Algeria is on the left of Libya, and the British colony of Egypt is on the right. Is Italian oil ore not selling well at both ends?When the war really broke out, the British planes flew over and bombed, and the oil well facilities that had been built with great difficulty were all ruined.In the British air battle that broke out later, Italy did not have the intention to get involved, keeping its vitality.

But Spaghetti's steel ambitions were not appeased by a brief moment of honesty.Because of the less severe beatings on the French side, it has instead focused on its neighbor, Greece to the east, earlier than in history.

In September of that year, when the Battle of Britain was in full swing, Italy reached out to Greece (two months earlier than in history).

As soon as the war started, the Italians discovered that the Greeks on the opposite side had more French weapons than expected, and there were even T26 tanks that made them suffer enough in Spain.What makes the Italians angry is that the opponent still has a large number of [-]mm Italian guns.

Greek weapons and equipment, firearms are mainly French weapons, but artillery are German weapons (mainly from Austria). After the European fight in October 1939, Greece saw that Europe was becoming more and more insecure, and worked hard to find sources of arms.

The European countries in the war during this period did not take care of themselves, so how could there be any surplus arms for export? As for the beautiful country of the United States, it was busy "killing chickens and cattle" at this time. How could poor Greece afford to pay?While worrying, the Soviets came to the door on their own initiative.

"Young man, Mr. Su has a batch of old French arms of "unknown origin", second-hand goods, and only charge you for shipping and half the cost price..."

The French firearms in the Soviet population mainly come from three countries: one is Poland, which was divided by Germany and France. There are a large number of French light machine guns left in the Polish army during World War I. They were seized after the Soviet-German split. It is the worst in the world. The Shosha light machine gun, the Soviets dismissed it, and sold it to the Greeks together with the T26 tank as a free gift.As for the Italian guns in the hands of the Greeks, they came from the three Baltic countries.In history, the three countries imported more than 100 guns from Italy. After the Soviet Union annexed the three countries, the guns became tasteless in the hands of the Soviet Union, and they were simply sold to Greece to clear the inventory.

However, a large number of French Bethier rifles arrived across the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal after August 1940.The cargo ship carrying the ammunition departed from Thailand. There were two sources of firearms. One was a generous gift from the French colonial troops in Indochina to the CCP, and the other was the French firearms that were being replaced by the Thai military.

At the end of the 30s, Thailand was also eliminating a large number of legal equipment in its hands and converting them into Japanese calibers.After the Indochina campaign ended, Thailand was unable to resist the joint pressure from China and the Soviet Union in the north. After bowing its head and giving in, in return, China and the Soviet Union made a large-scale deal with Thailand in the form of "food and rubber for arms". arms trade.

The Soviets provided Thailand with the latest T80C light tanks specially optimized for the terrain in Southeast Asia, while the CCP sold them to the Thais in large quantities.As for the large number of French firearms seized or eliminated in the hands of China and Thailand, it happened that Greece was in urgent need of arms during this period. Under the lead of the Soviet Union, it was pulled by a cargo ship from Thailand, tens of thousands of Bethiere rifles plus all "extra Ammunition", as well as some French artillery, were all packaged and sold to the Greeks at a very favorable conscience price.

Although these firearms are second-hand and have many quality problems, they are cheap and plentiful. The Greeks are quite satisfied after taking over. They renovate and equip a large number of troops.As for China and Thailand, they used waste and eliminated the legal weapons in their hands at the same time. Everyone was very happy.

Then at the end of October of that year, after Italy's outrageous territorial sovereignty conditions to Greece were rejected, Mussolini, the leader of the noodle country who had been honest for a year, declared war on Greece in a rage...

In history, the Greeks did not receive so many foreign aid weapons, and they beat the Italians to doubt their lives in the Italian-Greek War.Although the noodle country of this plane has made war fortune by exporting oil in the past year, and its national strength is stronger than in history, its neglected army is still like a bird, and it quickly turned the war of aggression against Greece into a "defense of Italy" war".

The war started at the end of October, invaded Greece from Albania in early November, and retreated to Albania in December... At this time, the British Empire, which had been relieved, also began to support Greece.

This "magic operation" of the British Empire, which won the Battle of Britain, helped Spain while hurting Greece, and instantly drew Germany's attention back from Spain.

For the Italian-Greek war that took place in southern Europe, Germany's initial view was just "pecking each other", and it didn't pay much attention.On this plane, Italy's "whore" behavior before the meeting of the Seven Nations made Mustache extremely shameless.At first seeing him make a fool of himself in Greece, he gloated and was happy to see it happen.

When the British intervened in Greece, Hitler became alert for an instant, but still did not act immediately.

And when it was Christmas that year, Churchill, who was determined not to be a man again, did another unworthy thing at the end of the year: he ordered the Royal Air Force stationed in Egypt to dispatch dozens of bombers to raid the oil fields in Libya.

During this period, the Germans and Italians paid unprecedented attention to the safety of Libyan oil wells.Because of the cooperation with the Soviet Union, the German radar technology in this plane is no less than that of the United Kingdom.In the past year, Germany has also exported radar technology to Italy in exchange for oil, and the Italian army has also deployed a complete local defense system for oil safety.

In the bombing on December 25, the British Air Force destroyed half of the local oil wells after paying a lot of losses. This not only stabbed Italy's waist, but also stabbed Mustache's family's hornet's nest.

Mustache, who suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Britain, was in a state of rage when he learned that his lifeblood had been bombed. Germany and Italy formed a deeper war alliance at an extremely fast speed. On January 1941, [-], Italy declared war on Britain.

At the beginning of February 1940, the British army, which continued to be unwilling to be human, sent four infantry divisions and two armored divisions into Greece two months earlier than in history. (This is also the force in history.) The difference from history is that the British armored forces that landed in Greece on this plane are equipped with Soviet T50 tanks and T80 tanks in large quantities-this is the third batch of arms obtained by the British Empire from the Soviet Union. At that time, the equipment was shipped directly from the Black Sea to Alexandria, Egypt.

If the British did not intervene in Greece, Mustache would just watch the Italian-Greek war, but after a large number of British troops stationed in Greece, the Germans could no longer sit still.

"Damn Churchill, I can't beat the Royal Air Force in London because of the home court advantage. In Greece, everyone is playing away games. You are a grandson in land battles!"

With angry revenge, at the end of February, the German army joined the Italian army and entered the battlefield from Albania. It took only one month to easily defeat the Anglo-Greek coalition forces. At the end of March, the British were driven into the sea again.

After making the ally Greece miserable, the retreating British army, relying on their maritime advantage, stirred up shit, set a fire, patted their buttocks and walked away easily, leaving only the unlucky The Greek, facing the pressure of the ghost brother Gui Sandezi, forced a creampie, wailing endlessly.

(Note: The same is true of the Italian-Greek war in history. Without the intervention of the British, Greece would not have been so miserable. They could beat the noodle country on their own strength. However, the head of the Greek government at that time was also unconscious and took the initiative to greet the British to enter.)

While the British intervened in the Italian-Greek war, Germany established the African Army at the end of January 1941. With the cooperation of the Italian Navy, it first stationed two BF109F fighter wings in Libya to protect the safety of the local oil fields.After February, with the British intervention in the Greek War, a German army division and light armored division entered North Africa in March.

In March, when the British Army was driven into the sea by the Germans and returned to Egypt, a Soviet cargo ship that set out from the Black Sea to trade with Italy was bought by the Italians after the transaction was completed.The Italians laid planks on the ship, and it took only a month to restore him to an escort aircraft carrier-this ship had carried out the first trade mission between the Soviet Union and Britain half a year ago.It's just that the place where it returns after completing the mission is the Black Sea.

Then, after the flight deck was dismantled in the Soviet Union, it was packed into a cargo ship and came to Italy to "deliver" it to the door, but was "detained" by the Italians.

After April, Italy had its first aircraft carrier—although it was only an escort aircraft carrier, the bathtub in the Mediterranean Sea was enough.With the help of the aircraft mother, in the following days, Germany and Italy put more armored troops into North Africa.

In April 1941, Huang Ke, who was in Moscow, drank tea with Stalin and watched the European war report handed over by the GRU. Everyone, old and young, felt very comfortable.

Huang Ke said: "After eating the plaintiff and the defendant, the fun of stirring shit is really wonderful!"

Stalin nodded, picked up the tea he made and handed over, and drank it down in one gulp.

So far, the Soviet-German border line is still peaceful and peaceful-Stalin, who knew Hitler's bottom line, has not yet shot against Romania, the German anti-scale.It's not that he doesn't want to reach out, but that the bearded man understands that as long as he has enough strength, he can reach out whenever he wants.After the Libyan oil field was bombed, Mustache has now turned into a grumpy old man. He will fight desperately with anyone who dares to touch his oil well.

For the safety of Romanian oil, the German army has sent troops to Romania during this period.Stalin's response was to "express understanding", but only asked the German army to send anti-aircraft units, and Hitler agreed.After both sides took a step back, the crisis in Romania was eliminated directly.Historically, there were many reasons for the outbreak of the Soviet Union's war. Both the Soviet Union and Germany extended their hands to Romania, which is definitely an important factor.Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, Molotov visited Germany and discussed the Romanian issue with Hitler. The evaluation of later generations is: This is a disastrous meeting.

And on this plane, when the German Afrika Korps stationed in Libya, it was located in the Chancellery in Berlin. Hitler was sitting in a dark room with a bunch of confidantes such as Rundstein, Manstein, and Guderian, watching the war from the Soviet Union. Here comes the videotape.

From the Battle of France to the current Battle of Greece, in the past year, the Soviet Red Army did not do nothing on the seemingly peaceful east of the Soviet-German border.

In Ukraine and Belarus, the Soviets held three consecutive large-scale military confrontation exercises without a director department within one year.Zhukov and Rokossowski, the most warlike generals in the two Soviet Red Army, acted as the "German army" to take the initiative to attack. They were beaten again and again... In the defensive state, the two of them, together with Lukin, the master of defensive warfare, pushed the Soviet Red Army several times their number to the ground and beat them again.

During the exercise, the Soviets also specially invited the Germans to come over to observe on the spot, and sent out the video tape afterwards.

Stalin's subtext is very clear: Mustache, I'm ready, don't be too hard on yourself!

In the movie footage, densely packed T[-] tanks and T[-] tanks form an armored ocean, charging and breaking through, and the Soviet cameraman also took pictures of ten tanks to give the effect of an armored division. I was dumbfounded.

Several days after the high-level military meeting in Germany, Hitler gave an order to lock the Barbarossa plan, which had been prepared a long time ago but could not make up his mind to carry it out, into a cabinet.

Then, he said to a group of Nazi officers: "Next, let's focus on solving the oil security problem in Africa!"

In April, Germany invaded Yugoslavia, and it took only eleven days for the Yugoslav government to surrender.However, before and after the outbreak of the Italian-Greek War, the Soviet Union secretly smuggled a large number of Mauser [-] rifles from China to Yugoslavia through various channels.When the Yugoslav government surrendered, Tito raised the banner of resistance to the Nazis.

In May, Germany launched the Battle of Crete and, as in history, succeeded in capturing the island at the cost of heavy losses of the airborne troops.

June was the most tense year in the Soviet Union, but there was still no fighting on the border between the two sides.

In July, there is no war.

August, September and October still passed quietly.

The weather turned cold in October, but it was still peaceful.At this time, the roads in Russian land after the autumn rain have turned into muddy roads, and it is even more impossible for Germany to launch a blitzkrieg at this time.

After November, the cold current went south, and the whole Soviet Union was covered with ice and snow...

In December, Huang Ke and Elena in Moscow spent a quiet and happy New Year together.

Throughout 1941, the war in North Africa was raging, and the Pacific Ocean in Asia was also boiling hot.

PS: In this chapter, the entire European war has been explained clearly. Next, we will concentrate on writing the plots of Asia and China, and basically will not return to the European front.

Don’t talk about me pouring water. Others write about World War II. The European war before the Soviet-German war often needs hundreds of thousands of words. Here I am, and there are so many wars in the entire European war. None, it is even less than history textbooks, very conscientiously not counting words.

Because this is a global grand strategy, the next step is to pull the timeline back to the beginning of 1941, and rewrite what China, Japan, and the United States were doing during this period.It also includes war.

In addition, I tried two updates today and asked for a monthly pass.In addition, I opened another book in Xiyang, which has more than [-] words "The Dragon and the Dragon Slayer" (modern anti-thief essay), which should be regarded as an old book bar with [-] words updated every day.In addition, there is also the completed version of "The Shipman's Crossing Story" (WWII text of the Republic of China)

Chapter 340 Huang Ke and Elena's Children

Ma Xiaohu was only 11 years old when he joined the Red Army.

Due to long-term malnutrition, at the age of 11, he looks about the same size as an eight or nine-year-old child from a wealthy family in a big city.

At that time, he lived in a village near Majiazhai, Majiashan, at the junction of southern Shaanxi and Gannan.

On that day five years ago, a young man and woman came to Majiazhai. Seeing the poverty of the local villagers, they gave them some food and milk powder out of sympathy.As a result, horse bandits passing by were attracted, which caused a series of incidents later.

Ma Xiaohu's mother died young, and his father was killed by horse bandits at that time. Afterwards, the couple avenged him and temporarily placed him in the home of the local mayor.

A few months later, when the Red Army of the Long March rushed out of northern Sichuan and swept across the Shaanxi-Gansu region, Majia Town was liberated by them "by the way".Because Huang Ke explained in advance that the Red Army who liberated here found him and asked him if he would like to join the Red Army?

Without saying a word, Ma Xiaohu followed the Red Army and became a "red kid".

Because he was too young, he was assigned to the Junior International Division to study and train with him, and he stayed behind for a long time. (Note: Historically, the Youth International Division was dismantled in 1935, but because this person knew the history, he also had to prepare for the future training of talents for the founding of the country. The CCP paid unprecedented attention to training the next generation to succeed. The Junior International Division was rebuilt.)

Around 1937, when the Red Army established a rear production base in Baoji, Ma Xiaohu’s Red Army School was also moved there and renamed Hongxing Primary School, and he stayed there to study and train.

Since the establishment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base in [-], the Central Red Army has paid unprecedented attention to the training of the revolutionary reserve team.The early learning materials were also formulated by Xu Teli himself.

The unfortunate and painful experience in the first 11 years of his life made Ma Xiaohu pay more attention to the rare opportunity than ever before.Without father or mother, he instinctively regarded the revolutionary team as his home early on after he left with the Red Army.

At that time, it was built in Baoji Red Army School, and all the children were orphans. Their origins were varied: there were descendants of revolutionary martyrs whose parents both died, and there were single households like Ma Xiaohu who were forced to ruin their families by the old society. In addition, there were many orphans. But it was the abandoned or sold children adopted by Huang Ke and Elena in Shanghai.

As long as there is a chance, when he returns to China every year, Huang Ke will try his best to come and take care of these children, tell them stories, give them gifts, and occasionally take some history lessons.Because of special circumstances, Elena only returned to China three times in the past three years, but every time she came back, she would come to Baoji to visit these children.While in the Soviet Union, Elena also served as the director of an orphanage.

This orphanage in Baoji originally had more than 600 people, all of whom were over ten years old.Then it gradually increased to thousands of people. Because of the relationship between Huang Ke and Elena, the children in the courtyard habitually called them father and mother.

In the midsummer of June in 1940, the weather was already very hot.

Ma Xiaohu and his contemporaries are sitting in a brightly lit classroom for final exams.
