Part 6 Chapter 29 "Crazy Gambling"

The new plan formulated by the German Navy is not very similar to the product of the German calm personality, but a bit like the Japanese style during World War II.

According to this plan, the German high seas fleet will be fully out and defeat the British local fleet. Unfortunately, this plan was rejected by William II. The reason is very simple. What Chinese allies want to see is that the German navy frequently takes the initiative to attack and adopts small-scale formations to fight guerrillas with the British fleet on the ocean.

The German Navy also felt strange about Chen Congyun's seemingly strange suggestion, and even despises the Chinese dictator from the bottom of his bones, he is an amateur in naval tactics. In any case, the German high seas fleet does not need to be triggered on a large scale to fight against the powerful British fleet, which is still a pretty good suggestion for the German side.

Chen Congyun knew very well that although the German High Seas Fleet was just a "existence fleet", as long as it existed, it had the value of existence. As long as the German High Seas Fleet existed for one day, the British main fleet would continue to be a watchdog in the Port of Scarpaflo. The frequent small-scale active attacks were naturally to make the British nervous and focus on Europe.

As China officially announced its participation in the Allies in combat, six Vietnamese guard divisions crossed the western border, set out from Hanoi and sent troops from Saigon to launch an attack on British and French colonies in Southeast Asia. The reason why the Vietnamese guards were used was that Chen Congyun believed that fighting between the terrifying jungles of Southeast Asia was relatively suitable for China's Vietnamese Province. In order to cooperate with Vietnam's actions, after occupying Singapore, an army from the Southern Military Region landed and advanced all the way north, with the purpose of sweeping across the British remnants on the Malay Peninsula and entering Thailand.

The participation of the Chinese government in the war brought heavy blows to the Allies, especially the turmoil in Russia. It is completely foreseeable that the Germans would draw at least one million troops from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. At that time, the pressure faced by the British and French troops is conceivable.

Some strange voices began to appear in the two British and French newspapers, and some radical anti-war elements used fierce words to refute the government's stupidity. "If I had known that things would be like this, I would rather accept the proposal of the Chinese side's armistice negotiations."

Throughout March, Britain and France were filled with disappointment, panic and helplessness.

Kuala Lumpur!

A simple airport is closing in a tense and orderly manner. Nie Zixiu, wearing a major general uniform, seemed a little eye-catching. He held the construction drawings in his hand and looked at the airport that was about to be completed. Nie Zixiu felt a little nervous. The Air Force cooperated with the navy's combat concept, which was personally anxious by Chen Congyun. It was actually a year ago.

In the first six months, the new bomber increased its speed and loaded it with fish in accordance with the requirements of Shen Congyun. In the next six months, the Air Force conducted a long drill with the goal of finding a way to load the aircraft with bombs and torpedoes onto the warships.

The results of the actual combat drill are shocking, but after all, there is still a difference between the drill and the actual combat. The only thing that can be gratified is that today's British naval warships do not seem to be much stronger than Chinese warships in terms of air defense capabilities.

A month ago, Nie Zixiu was fortunate to be invited to the study of the presidential residence, where Nie Zixiu met a combat plan called "Hurricane".

This is a plan full of imagination. The overall idea is to form a special-mix fleet with half of the main warships of the Chinese Navy to enter the Indian Ocean and actively seek the British Far East Fleet to fight. The ultimate goal is naturally to fight and retreat, and introduce the British Far East Fleet into the range of the bomber. Then the plane takes off from the airport in Kuala Lumpur, bombard the British Far East Fleet and cooperate with the sneak attack while bombing the British Fleet. Finally, the special-mix fleet kills a resurgence.

This plan was collectively questioned by the highest levels of the Navy and Air Force, but no one dared to challenge Chen Congyun's absolute dominance over the army. All the doubts were suppressed and the plan must be implemented.

That is, at the meeting with seven participants, Nie Zixiu saw Chen Congyun's arbitrary side and announced in a tone without any room for negotiation: "If there are objections, you can retain them, but this combat plan must be implemented."

When discussing tactical details with Navy Commander Deng Shichang in private, Deng Shichang sighed: "To be honest, with our current naval power, let alone the British local fleet, even the British Far East fleet, which concentrates the national naval power, at most, can draw. The British Navy is too powerful. At least before seeing this plan, I have not seen the possibility of the Chinese Navy defeating its opponent."

Later, Deng Shichang said again: "Although I saw the possibility, I still felt that this plan was more like a planned gambling than a planned battle."

Thinking of this, Nie Zixiu also expressed a similar feeling deep in his heart, and said to himself in a low voice: "A crazy gambling is gambled on half of the Navy's belongings and the only 300 new fighter jets in the Air Force."

Nie Zixiu dared not imagine if this plan fails and Singapore, which has lost its naval protection, can still be defended? Is it possible to rely on submarines? This seems to be unlikely. Indeed, it can also be blocked with a large number of mines, but at the same time it blocks the Chinese Navy's waterway to the Indian Ocean. Without the cover of the navy, attacking India is only a joke. Perhaps some people would propose to send troops to India from Tibet, and this joke is not at all. Even if the army can enter India at an altitude of thousands of meters, even if the army can enter India, it will soon fall into a situation where the ammunition and food are exhausted and withdraw in shame. Because of the problem of logistics supply, it is an insurmountable problem between the Sino-Indian borders of mountains and ridges.

Having confirmed that the airport could be put into use in a week, Nie Zixiu hurried to Singapore, where the commander of the Navy's Special Mixed Fleet, Li Zhun, was waiting for him to discuss the details of the combat.

During the three-day hurry, Nie Zixiu saw a busy car convoy along the way, constantly struggling to move forward in the harsh road environment of Southeast Asia. Nie Zixiu also privately asked Chen Congyun why he didn't simply conquer Russia first and then reinforce Germany through Russia. As long as the European battlefield was victorious and the British announced their surrender, the Chinese government could completely gain India through negotiations, rather than taking an extreme risky way to defeat the British Navy.

Chen Congyun did not give a positive answer to this, but simply explained: "This is a tactic taken from the perspective of global strategy." This answer is very vague, and it can even be said that there is no answer.

When he saw Singapore City from afar, Nie Zixiu took back his thoughts and decided to resolutely implement this gambling plan. When Chen Congyun understood the doubts from the navy and the air force, he could only smile helplessly in his heart. Accelerating the progress of the entire Asia was actually due to worrying about the changes caused by the participation of the Americans in the war. From the deepest part of his heart, Chen Congyun still had a deep fear of the war potential of the United States, the world's largest industrial power. The most important point is that Chen Congyun did not completely cross the UK's idea, and even France, Shen Congyun, had to do his best to safeguard France's interests after the war. A Europe with heroes, this is the Europe that truly suits China's interests.

As for the United States, if the United States remained neutral from beginning to end, then Chen Congyun would be happy to bring Germany to suppress this country after the war, whose ambition to dominate the world is unstoppable once its strength expands.

In Shen Congyun's heart, only the United States can make the pattern of this world war change dramatically.

When Nie Zixiu came to the Special Mixed Fleet Command, Li Zhun was in a good mood. In the past half month, the submarine force had outstanding achievements. To be honest, the route that Britain received supplies from India was temporarily paralyzed.

Mumbai, in the British Naval Hospital.

General Betty, wearing a well-decorated military uniform, looked grim at this moment. The new commander of the British Far East Fleet, who was urgently transferred from the British local fleet, brought a powerful reinforcement fleet to the Far East Fleet, and also saw the current poor state of the Indian Ocean route.

"It's so terrible, everything is like a nightmare. On the dark sea, Chinese submarines hit our warships and merchant ships with torpedoes. I can say very responsibly that it is not a submarine, nor a few submarines, but dozens of submarines."

Sitting on the hospital bed opposite Betty, Major General Murphy, the commander of the escort fleet, who was hit by the first submarine sneak attack, sat on the hospital bed with a frustration, not very organized, and in a slightly chaotic tone, he talked about everything he encountered with his escort fleet.
