My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

"Left full rudder! Heading to the south!" A first officer was standing on the bridge confirming the password loudly. For the first time, the German ocean-going fleet entered the South Atlantic Ocean on a large scale, escorting a huge transport fleet of 40 Hercules transport ships.

This was a large-scale naval operation. Germany imported a large amount of rubber from South American countries, and then formed a fleet to return to European ports under the **** of the German high seas fleet. Those chemical companies and manufacturers that need rubber have long been looking forward to it. They look forward to the arrival of natural rubber materials, and look forward to the quality of rubber products can improve the quality of their products.

Natural rubber is still an irreplaceable industrial raw material in this period. Although it is said that the company has developed a substitute for artificial rubber, but in terms of quality and characteristics, artificial rubber is not as good as natural rubber.

Has anyone ever wondered why the German tank used the complicated design of the cross-wheel in the previous life? Because the edge of the tank load wheel is covered with rubber, but the quality of the German artificial rubber does not meet the requirements, so it is necessary to use a small diameter load wheel or a cross load wheel to increase the contact area per unit length to alleviate the negative effect caused by insufficient rubber quality influences.

The main purpose of the criticized German tank walking mechanism turned out to be a compromise for insufficient rubber performance. This shows from another side that any technical shortcoming will bring earth-shaking changes to the design in application. . This is the power of industry, which is why it is impossible for a traverser to allow the Tang army to use it to reload the howitzer.

Now in Germany, due to the technological innovation of Faben, the rubber stocked before the war will be exhausted. Originally, rubber cannot be hoarded on a large scale, and it will deteriorate due to time. However, Faben has developed a new technology that can Through processing, new rubber is extracted from the deteriorated rubber. Although this technology has about 15% waste, it can allow the German side to hoard rubber materials before the war.

This is also an important reason why Akado dared to equip German tanks with single-row load wheel walking mechanisms in this time and space, and it is also the reason why the reliability of German tanks has been greatly improved.

Defeating the British Navy and not turning face to face with the United States has allowed Germany to purchase huge amounts of rubber raw materials in South America. In order to prevent Germany from completely turning its backs, the economic sanctions on Germany do not contain rubber as an important industrial raw material, and the corresponding German navy did not go south to attack the route from South America to North America-the two sides obviously played a tacit agreement with each other when they were hostile. .

And the United States is really unable to prevent Germany from purchasing rubber from South America. This has a clear relationship with the maritime strength of both parties. For example, the United States can clamor for embargoing weapons to Iraq. Everyone thinks that there is nothing wrong with it, but one day Iraq clamors for sanctions against the United States to impose an arms embargo on the United States. This is totally a funny rhythm.

The USS Carrier Enterprise and the Lexington were sunk in Pearl Harbor, resulting in a fatal impact on the actual combat capabilities of the US Navy. The United States Navy in the Pacific Ocean regarded by the United States as its own bath is still chased by the Japanese Navy, not to mention in the South Atlantic Ocean where there is not much power.

This has to mention the problems left over by history. In fact, it is not that the US Navy does not want to develop its Atlantic fleet, but that the Atlantic Ocean has always been a strong British navy. No matter who wants to develop his navy on the Atlantic, he must pass the British navy first.

However, this unreasonable yet invincible British navy was defeated by the newly rising German navy in a short period of time, and this moment caused a power vacuum in the North Atlantic Ocean, and the German navy is trying to make up for this It is a vacuum area, so the hindsight of the US government instead fell behind the North Atlantic to the German navy that was not strong.

In order to cope with the Atlantic crisis made by the German Navy, the United States has not launched the aircraft carrier under construction, nor has the British aircraft carrier built in the Canadian shipyard and the United States. Now the United States is completely unprepared for two-line operations, so they are carrying out the order of operations from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

At the same time, however, the British Navy did not think the same as the US Navy. They prepared a large number of attacking fleets in the South Atlantic Ocean, using cruisers as the core to intercept German merchant ships, which caused a lot of trouble for the German Navy.

Last month, they sank 4 ships between Germany and Brazil, which belonged to Vichy France, Italy and Germany. Of course, the German Navy could not tolerate the disruption of a transportation line that it had finally established to be interfered by the British Navy, so it immediately swept south and sought the decisive battle of the British Navy fleet near the South Atlantic.

5 aircraft carriers, 17 various types of armored ships and cruisers, 25 destroyers of the German high seas fleet, against 1 battleship, 7 cruisers and 20 destroyers of the British South Atlantic squadron. The British-German South Atlantic naval battle broke out on May 22, 1938.

Two days later, an Italian battleship brought three cruisers and five destroyers to the nearby waters. The Axis powers were even greater, while the British Navy had two destroyers left the war zone and went to the Pacific to assist in the defeat. The US Navy defends Australia.

Following Vichy ’s French fleet also entered the war zone, a French battleship and a cruiser came to South American waters to investigate the sinking of their own transport ship. In fact, although they did not receive an order to engage the British Navy, the British Navy They have listed them as enemy naval forces that can sink.

On the morning of May 23, the German naval carrier aircraft discovered a British destroyer fleet, and then the first batch of carrier aircraft launched an attack. Both sides opened fire constantly. In the afternoon, the British destroyer fleet had only three destroyers. All were sunk. However, the bad news came that the main force of the British naval fleet had moved northwards, hitting the Italian naval fleet.

The Italian battleship was seriously injured, one cruiser was sunk and two destroyers were also sunk. The Italian Navy suffered the heaviest loss since the war. However, their losses were exchanged for important intelligence. The German navy fleet fixed the approximate location of the British Navy ’s South Atlantic squadron.

The subsequent killing was more difficult than everyone thought. The British navy fleet quickly moved closer to the German navy that night, forcing the German navy high seas fleet 30 nautical miles, then opened the distance and went northward. The heart wants to go back to Canada.

According to the intelligence department, the only British aircraft carrier, the Royal Ark, which can be used, rushed out with the remaining troops of the local fleet. It seems that it is necessary to ensure that its squadron is absolutely safe. However, the German navy with absolute air control at sea did not give opponents a chance, and the two sides contacted again the next morning. The German carrier-based aircraft sank 4 cruisers and reinvented the flagship battleship Queen Elizabeth of the British South Atlantic squadron.

The British South Atlantic Fleet has only two cruisers left (the other cruiser was wounded by the Italians and fled in the other direction due to the reduced speed, and eventually returned to Canada for repair). The combat effectiveness dropped to a negligible level, and the course on the German South Atlantic also resumed unobstructed.

It's just that the British submarine is not easy to strangle. After all, anti-submarine **** is a long-term job, unlike the battle against the sea, which can be accomplished in one battle. So Lütjens was ordered to return, and then the German South Atlantic Fleet was established. It consisted of two armored ships and two guided missile destroyers and two anti-aircraft destroyers, and began to cruise the South Atlantic Ocean for a long time to provide **** for the German fleet.

Just as Germany and Britain fought for the control of sea power in the South Atlantic, the Japanese navy was a breeze, and like the German navy, they were carrying out their own plans for going south. They broke down the US fleet in one breath, fully occupied Malaysia and the Philippines, and drove the US Army to Australia.

The East Asian "Alliance" is like an invincible posture in the world, and even with the navy of a country in Japan, it has exerted its momentum to dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Coupled with the subsequent decisive victory of the German Navy in the South Atlantic, three important groups were re-ranked for a time: the Axis Powers were already the first in the world, the so-called "Alliance" of Greater East Asia came second, and the Allied Powers Bottom.

This situation is actually not complicated: the once invincible British navy was defeated by the German navy, and the US navy unexpectedly suffered heavy losses in Pearl Harbor. In addition, the industries of the two countries have only just begun to exert their strength, and the lost ships have not been made up. So he lost all at sea.

However, this does not mean that the United States and the United Kingdom will still be so embarrassed after one year. Akado knows that as long as he has survived this difficult first year, even if the Axis powers have control of Europe, it may not be able to suppress the allies. Not to mention one area of ​​Japan.

He now feels a bit powerless, and many things are beyond his control. Relying on aid or secretly intervening can no longer have a sufficient impact on the situation, nor can it change the outcome of some events. How to reach into the East Asia region in the future, have a strong influence on China, and change the post-war world pattern-all this needs to be prepared now.

"Provoking such a technical job as World War is really not something ordinary people can afford." Akado sighed with a bitter smile after putting the combat report of the South Atlantic naval battle aside.
