The German submarine formation almost completely annihilated the British Far East Fleet in the Nicobar Islands without losing any of its own, which greatly boosted Germany's morale.
To be honest, since the end of the Blitzkrieg in France last year, Germany has been in a state of losing and losing in the competition between Germany, Britain and France, and Britain's performance has also been very tenacious. No matter how much Germany bombs, submarine warfare will sink it.
No matter how many transport fleets there are, the British seem to have a strong counterattack.
At this time, Hitler almost realized what a stupid move it was not to let Guderian's armored forces encircle and annihilate the British and French forces at Dunkirk. However, Hitler did not admit this mistake verbally. He was always looking for fighter opportunities.
Explode and give the British a hard blow. However, except for the submarines, the German navy has been suppressed by the British. Although the air force has an advantage in battle damage ratio, the United States has obviously intervened, and there is a steady stream of
American planes entered the British Isles, putting increasing pressure on Germany.
At this moment, Dönitz achieved victory in annihilating the British Far East Fleet, which made Hitler very happy. He was already planning in his mind that when the submarine formation returned to Germany, he would immediately launch a major battle for Britain, once and for all.
Destroy the British navy.
However, Hitler's good mood had not lasted for a few days. Dönitz successfully ambushed a British transport fleet in the Lakshadweep Islands and sank nearly 300,000 tons of cargo ships. At first, Hitler thought this was another huge result.
, he asked Dr. Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda (the German air marshal was Goering, the previous chapter was written as Goebbels, sorry.) and asked the media to report another great achievement of Dönitz, he suddenly felt
Uneasy. Hitler was not a military expert, but he also understood that Dönitz spent 5 days in order to annihilate the British transport fleet. These were extremely fatal 5 days. The British were very likely to seize these 5 days.
He made a big fuss and put Dönitz into a desperate situation.
Sure enough, intelligence came from China two days later. The British were preparing to encircle and annihilate Dönitz's submarine formation in the waters of Mauritius. Oh my God, what can we do? If it is a submarine, just think of a way to solve the problem of fuel
and supplies, but they are an unprecedented fleet of 70 submarines. Each of their submarines requires an average of more than 60 tons of fuel to return to Germany, which totals 4,200 tons. Which port in the world has
Could it unknowingly provide the Germans with 4,200 tons of fuel?
Of course, the Germans had fixed supply areas before. However, after the British calculated the sea areas that German submarines could reach for each supply, how could it be possible for the Germans to easily realize their supply plan? Therefore, this process was inevitable
It is conspiracy, trap, battle, hunting and counter-hunting. Because the whole world is a colony of the British and French, it is very easy for them to mobilize their maritime power to deal with submarines.
Hitler, who was feeling desperate, suddenly got a submarine fleet from China that was going to rescue Dönitz, and the agreed time was 6 hours. Oh my God, are the Chinese crazy? What power do they have to rescue a submarine?
Formation? They have no fleet at all in the Indian Ocean. They saw off Dönitz's South China Sea Fleet and stayed at the Lion City Port for a day before returning.
Moreover, the telegram from the Chinese was not clear at all. It did not explain clearly how to rescue them. Could it be that the Chinese flew over from the air to rescue? Even flying from the air to rescue is impossible. The straight-line distance in space is almost 5,500 kilometers.
, Could it be that the Chinese have invented an aircraft that can fly 5,500 kilometers in 6 hours, and is it possible to rescue 70 submarines, a task that one or two aircraft can complete?
Therefore, the more Hitler thought about it, the colder and more disappointed he became. However, no matter what he thought, he could not find a rescue method. Although Germany also had intelligence personnel in Mauritius, what could those intelligence personnel do?
A barrel of gasoline may be fine, but how can we allow them to send thousands of tons of fuel to Dönitz's submarine fleet?
"Damn Dönitz, when he comes back, he must be removed from office!" Hitler couldn't think of a way and hated Dönitz.
Just when Hitler and the German base camp were almost in despair, Dönitz's telegram arrived. The content of the telegram read: "Chinese President Wu Aihua magically descended into the Indian Ocean and brought fuel, drinking water, torpedoes and other supplies. Wu Aihua said that if the president can
To end the war with Britain before April, China will provide Germany with 10 45,000-ton battleships and 10 15,000-ton light aircraft carriers. If Marshal Goering likes Chinese combat aircraft, China can also provide them. Wu Aihua promised that these
The equipment will transport the above-mentioned warships to the Port of Kiel within a week." Finally, Dönitz added, "Führer, make up your mind. The Chinese have miraculous transportation capabilities!"
Hitler and the decision-makers in the German base camp who received this telegram were immediately overjoyed! The Chinese have miraculous transportation capabilities. Need I say more about this? The Chinese can provide supplies for a huge submarine fleet within 6 hours.
, which itself is very magical!
"Führer, it's time to make up your mind! I think this is also the best opportunity to win the friendship of the Chinese." Navy Commander-in-Chief Marshal Erich Redl suggested. 10 first-class battleships, 10 light aircraft carriers,
Without these weapons, the British simply could not stop the German attack.
"Führer, order another 1,000 combat aircraft of various types from China. It is time for our war with the British to end." Air Marshal Göring also immediately expressed his position.
"Okay, send a telegram to Chinese President Wu Aihua, and I will go to Kiel Port to greet him in person." As a generational hero, Hitler's decisiveness was one of his strongest abilities.
When Wu Aihua arrived at the south of the Chagos Islands, it was around 3:30 pm local time. The Germans kept moving various supplies to the submarine and were busy until the sun rose over the eastern sea the next morning.
It's basically over.
"Mr. President, how are you going back?" Dönitz looked at the fully loaded submarine formation, filled with unprecedented confidence, but he had not forgotten who rescued him and his men.
"Look, that's not the tool we need to go back." Wu Aihua pointed to the sea, where a state-of-the-art seaplane was already parked.
"Amazing, amazing, so amazing!" This seaplane appeared in front of Dönitz at close range.
…
It took Wu Aihua a total of 12 hours to return to Guangzhou from the central Indian Ocean. During this period, Shen Ren and Kong Wu were driving the seaplane. Wu Aihua's main task was to rest, and he only refueled the seaplane a few times along the way.
Take a 30-minute break after a two-hour flight.
During Wu Aihua's rest time, he had been thinking about providing aid to Germany.
In the second half of 1940, Wu Aihua's monthly contribution to the people's livelihood had reached more than 1.2 million points, and the exchange for a battleship like the Japanese battleship Nagato or an aircraft carrier built before the 1930s only cost about 12 cents per ton.
In other words, Wu Aihua can exchange for 100,000 tons of large warships every month. The total tonnage of the equipment promised to Germany is just 600,000 tons, which requires a merit point of 7.2 million points. In addition, the merit value of the 1,000 additional aircraft added by the Germans is about
3 million points, the merit value will consume more than 10 million points at one time.
Wu Aihua still has some merit points. Since the annihilation of the Japanese East China Front in March 1938, Wu Aihua's merit points have been growing faster than the consumption rate. In 1938, relatively more were consumed, eating up the previous capital. But
In the two years from 1939 to 1940, Wu Aihua's merit point storage also reached 16 million points.
Assistance must be provided, and since I have said it, I cannot go back on it. Although the merit points consume a lot, they are not needed in the country for the time being. When the troops are used against the Soviet Union, there are still 6 months left, and the merit points will be reduced again.
Let’s go back to the values at this time. If some unsighted country really wants to use troops against China, that’s not bad, because Wu Aihua can just earn merit points!
At 6 a.m. on January 20, 1941, Chinese President and Commander-in-Chief Wu Aihua, Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Force Gu Zhutong, and Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun took off from a secret airport on the outskirts of Nanjing. After a short pause in Dihua, they secretly headed to
Visiting Berlin, Germany. Senior officials from the Chinese Government Administration Council, Central Parliament, and National Defense Forces went to the airport to see him off.
When Lao Jiang, Lao Mao and others saw the huge figure of the B-52B in the early morning light, they were shocked and excited! They were all guessing: President Wu Aihua has many secrets that they don't know.
!
However, they are all very fortunate that under the leadership of this young man Wu Aihua, China can be so strong! At the same time, they also feel quite satisfied that the political ideals of the past can be found in reality in today's China. The people are prosperous and the country is prosperous.
Strong, no matter which doctrine it is, it cannot be separated from this most basic premise, and Wu Aihua has obviously achieved it.
At this time, China's top political leaders, including some former talkative experts, now have a unified understanding, that is, only labor can create value, and only a system that takes into account the interests of everyone or the interests of the vast majority of people can gain the people's support.
system supported.
At 2 pm on January 20, 1941, German time, Wu Aihua and his party finally landed at Berlin Airport after nearly 10 hours of flight. In addition to the above-mentioned officials, Wu Aihua also brought his own military guard battalion.
Hitler went to the airport to greet Wu Aihua's arrival, and also showed great shock at the huge B-52B strategic bomber.
The arrival of Wu Aihua made Berlin feel like it was facing a formidable enemy. Luftwaffe combat aircraft were on alert 24 hours a day to be prepared for unknown dangers and threats. Just kidding, if there is one person in this world that Hitler respects and awes, then this person is definitely
