"How did you die?" Luo Yaoguo secretly glanced at the laughing Russian Empress, and asked in a deep voice.

"It is said that he worked day and night for the cause of the world revolution, and finally died from overwork." Natalie also stared at the Russian Queen with suspicious eyes.

"Life is really impermanent," Luo Yaoguo sighed, and then asked casually, "If you die, you should die. By the way, Natalie, send a telegram of condolence in my name. Although she was once an enemy, she still admires this person." Yes, if he hadn't met me due to bad luck, he would have made the Soviet Union one of the most powerful countries in the world."

"Really?" Anastasinia glanced at Luo Yaoguo, and muttered in a low voice: "If they do it like this, the country will be destroyed sooner or later!"

Luo Yaoguo ignored the Queen, but said to himself: "Stalin is dead, Kruskaya is terminally ill, and probably won't last long, Bukharin is a nerd, Zhukov and Khrushchev have senior qualifications. It's too shallow... It seems that the Communist International is going to be completely controlled by them, so they will be able to make a career now, right? I don't know who their first target is?"

"There is news that the CCP plans to issue a call to resist Germany and aid the United States, and plans to form a volunteer army to participate in the war in North America." Natalie followed Luo Yaoguo's words and analyzed: "Now that the Communist Party is holding high the banner of anti-fascism, the primary target should be Japan. , North Korea may also want to get involved. In addition, Her Majesty's Russia may also be their target."

Luo Yaoguo picked up his wine glass and twirled it around a few times, shook his head and said, "Japan is an island country, so we can't do anything if we don't give it to them; North Korea is just a coalition government, and Jin Jiu has long had a group of desperadoes as his buddies, causing panic It is impossible to prevent and control terrorist activities at a glance; Russia is even more out of the question...I think India is the most likely! Lao Jiang is busy."

Chapter 0943 opens the door of the United States ([-]) Caribbean crisis

The Russian Empress picked up the wine glass and drank most of the vodka in it, her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was three-point drunk.Then he softly opened his lips, and said in a delicate voice: "That's not exactly what you want. I think the more embarrassed that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek is, the more it seems that our Marshal Luo is like a god. As for those Indians, how many people died?" You won't feel bad, will you?"

Luo Yaoguo put down his glass, looked at the female fox who was a little bit drunk and more obsequious, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: Who doesn't know that you, the empress, have a good drinking capacity?Not to mention the half glass of vodka, even half a catty of vodka may not make you really drunk.Now I'm afraid you want to test me by appearing drunk but not drunk?

Only Anastasinia answered in a sweet voice: "Those communists keep saying they want to fight against fascism, and they also say that I am a fascist gangster, as if they are so bad. In my opinion, the worst one is you, everyone You can see the shadow of Marshal Luo Yaoguo behind all the bad things, and the most hateful thing is that after doing bad things, you have to come out to be a good person. Didn't you also want to play like this in World War II this time?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled softly, and said: "I'm not the only one who is good, Anas, I think this world war is always a draw in the end. As responsible big countries, China and Russia should do it for the sake of Do your part to end this senseless war as soon as possible.”

"A meaningless war? Is the war between China and Japan meaningful?" Anastasinia looked at Luo Yaoguo with a half-smile.

Luo Yaoguo said coldly: "So you are still a Japanese lobbyist."

"Since you don't want to listen, then you refuse." Anastasinia shook her head and said, "Actually, I can't be called a Japanese lobbyist, and I, the Russian empress, am not so worthless, but Hitler's face cannot No."

"This sounds like the truth." Luo Yaoguo sneered, and said lightly, "He promised to give the Japanese P-35 missiles, and I promised to facilitate the Sino-US anti-Japanese alliance. And I won't continue to stir up conflicts, otherwise..." After finishing speaking, Luo Yaoguo picked up his wine glass and drank most of the wine in one gulp.

The Russian Empress picked up the vodka bottle on the table, filled another glass for herself, took a sip, and said, "If the Japanese ship with the P-35 missile is sunk by an unknown submarine operating on the coast of the Eastern Pacific What? I mean if."

Luo Yaoguo sneered in his heart: This Hitler is really ruthless, he tricked the Japanese into working for him, and in the end he sank the ship that came to transport the goods!Not only cruel, but also shameless!How could such an honest person like me associate with this kind of person?It seems that we should stay away from him in the future, so as not to be spoiled by him.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "After all, I am the chief of the general staff, but he is no match for the head of state. Our country is a democratic and constitutional country, and the military has limited influence on politics. Most of the members of Congress are isolated. If they do not agree with the "Sino-U.S. Anti-Japanese Alliance," there is nothing I can do. I believe that President Roosevelt will also understand the difficulties of leaders of a democratic country."

……

May 1939, 11, 7 am.

On the Atlantic Ocean 320 nautical miles north of Puerto Rico, an alert search formation consisting of 3 American submarines and 3 free British submarines lined up on the sea surface with a width of 5 kilometers, above the oval barreled bridge above the water , the watchman held the binoculars in his hand, and looked nervously at the Atlantic ocean under the moonlight.

Although the radar technology in this time and space has developed rapidly, countries have not paid as much attention to submarines as in the original history, so the development of submarine radars has lagged behind.Up to now, the submarines of the United States and Britain have not installed radars, so these submarines serving as alert search missions can only rely on this traditional method to find the enemy.However, since submarines in a submerged or semi-submerged state are not easily spotted by enemy ships, this method of reconnaissance is relatively safe.Naval powers, including China and Germany, are now also using submarines to cooperate with long-range reconnaissance aircraft for alert and search in the open sea.

The high-intensity reconnaissance and patrols day and night made the crew members of these American and British submarines droop their eyelids, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted, because the fascist navy has already controlled the command of the Atlantic Ocean, and the entire North American Any area along the Atlantic coast could become a landing site for fascist troops.The former overlord of the world's navy now has a taste of the sea without defense.

Just as the watchman was staring at the boundless Atlantic Ocean, suddenly a white beam of light flashed across the distant sea.

what is that?

Could it be a German ship?What are they doing here?

Just when the lookout was full of suspicion, one after another white beams of light pierced the dense night, appearing on the northern ocean!

"The Germans! It's the fleet of the Germans! The German army was found! The number... is very large! The distance is about 20000 meters."

When the watchman picked up the phone, there was a burst of yelling, and then the captain's voice came from the microphone.

"Dive, emergency dive!"

Hearing this order, the watchman got into the cabin as quickly as possible, and while the cabin door was quickly locked, the communications officer of the submarine had already sent out the telegram of "discovering the German fleet".

"Sir, an unknown radio wave was detected."

Inside the bridge of the battleship Bismarck, the communications officer held up his phone and shouted.

Lütjens strode to the edge of the chart platform, stared at it for a while, and asked the chief of staff beside him, "Are there any submarines nearby?"

His B fleet had implemented radio silence early in the morning, and this radio wave naturally did not belong to the B fleet.Then there are only two possibilities, one is the submarines deployed by the Germans in this sea area; the other is the submarines of the United States and Britain.

"I'll check." The chief of staff of the fleet took a form and looked at it for a while, and his expression became serious. "There are no submarines of ours, nor any of the Italians, Admiral. Looks like we've been spotted by the Yankees."

"Tell the lookout post and the sonar soldiers to cheer me up, and never let the enemy's submarine slip past the destroyer's sentry circle." Lütjens continued to stare at the chart, with no trace of anger on his face , as if he didn't care about his fleet's whereabouts being exposed.In fact, he is not worried about the threat of the US and British fleets at all. They have already hid in the port as a fleet. The only thing that can cause any trouble to his seven super battleships this night is the sneak attack of the enemy submarine. Ordered to turn on the searchlights to search the sea surface for the reason.

"Admiral, do you want to send a destroyer to search?" the chief of staff suggested.

"No, just order the fleet to pass quickly." Lütjens waved his hands, the enemy's submarine was not his target, his target was only cannon fodder Puerto Rico, and the cover landing force occupied this island affiliated to the United States.

"Admiral, do you want to break the radio silence and contact the main fleet? Ask them to send carrier aircraft to cover us tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, the Americans have already discovered it anyway, so there is no need to pretend to be dumb." Lütjens smiled, pointing to a series of islands in the Caribbean Sea: "Now it depends on how much the Americans plan to drop in the Caribbean Sea." It's money."

……

At this time, in the conference room of the Atlantic Fleet Command in Norfolk, the United States, senior generals from the United States and Britain have also gathered together.Since the combined German and Italian fleet suddenly disappeared near the Bermuda Islands a day ago, these generals have felt that something is wrong.The enemy clearly gained the upper hand in the battle in Bermuda. Although it is impossible to capture this American gateway in a short period of time, it is not enough to just give up.At the same time, the news that the German army had landed in Iceland made them feel an urgent sense of crisis.

Due to the defeat of the US-British combined fleet in the naval battle of Bermuda, the entire North America is in a situation where there is no defense at sea.If the Germans feel that Bermuda is difficult to fight, they can move to the Greenland-Newfoundland line, or simply go south to the Caribbean.Therefore, as long as the main force of the United States and Britain's combined fleet dare not fight, the role of the Bermuda Islands as a gateway will be greatly reduced. Even if Germany does not win here, it can find a way to attack the mainland of the United States from other places!

And the entire east coast of North America has thousands of kilometers that need to be fortified. Although the focus is only on Bermuda, Newfoundland and the Caribbean Sea, it is still somewhat powerless for the air power of the United States and Britain.Now the Free British Air Force and Naval Air Force have only more than 400 combat aircraft. Except for the hundreds of aircraft deployed on the aircraft carrier, they are all at the Agenshe Naval Base in Newfoundland.

The air power of the United States, including the Army and Naval Air Forces, has a total of five air groups with nearly 6000 combat aircraft.One of the air teams is assigned to the Central American Theater under the command of MacArthur. Right now, the Central American Theater is preparing for a large-scale offensive against the Japanese Central American Front Army. This air force cannot be used now.The remaining four air teams, one deployed on the west coast, have now been ordered to Canada; two are deployed on the east coast of the United States to be responsible for the air defense of the east coast and support Bermuda; the last one is deployed on several major islands in the Caribbean, That is less than [-] aircraft.

Among the nearly 395 combat aircraft, there are only 4 fighter jets, of which only 95 are F36Us with advanced performance, and the rest are aircraft with relatively weak air combat capabilities such as P-39, P-38, and P-190. Type, there is no chance of winning against the Fw-800 of the German Naval Aviation.In addition, less than 106 aircraft, including 205 reconnaissance aircraft and seaplanes, 445 medium and heavy bombers, and [-] dive bombers and torpedo bombers.

After counting the air combat power in their hands, the generals in the conference room were a little uneasy.Relying on less than 100 F4Us and 445 SBD dive bombers and TBD torpedo bombers will definitely not be able to defend the huge Caribbean Sea!However, it is not feasible to deploy air power from the east coast of the United States. If the Germans make a feint and then turn north to attack the Bermuda Islands, no one can afford this responsibility.

Therefore, the only ones that can be transferred now are the air team assigned to MacArthur and the air team transferred to Canada.

"Gentlemen, a decision must be made now. A voyage of more than 300 nautical miles is only a dozen hours for a fleet traveling at high speed." Admiral Halsey, who was just appointed commander of the Caribbean theater, looked anxious, The time of the Americans is passing by indecision, while the German fleet is heading south at a high speed.If you don't mobilize the planes for reinforcements as soon as possible, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for him, the commander of the Caribbean theater, to take up his post in his headquarters in Cuba. Puerto Rico will be the world of the swastika flag!

"Admiral, we are now studying where the aircraft should be transferred from."

It was Dwight Eisenhower who was speaking, probably the lowest-ranking general in this conference room.But this meeting was presided over by him, a major general, because he had just been appointed the supreme commander of the coalition forces on the east coast!A major general commands a bunch of generals!Such absurd personnel arrangement is probably only an American can come up with, right?

"It's fine from anywhere!" Halsey's face was very ugly, his "savage bull" has almost become a long-lost general now, and he hasn't won a single battle since the beginning of the war!If this continues, he will probably become a negative textbook in the naval military academies of various countries in the future.

Eisenhower stood in front of the map and ignored the "brute bull" who was about to run away. Now he is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces on the east coast, and any decision he makes is related to the national destiny of the United States!Especially the current battle situation can no longer withstand any setbacks!

"General," Halsey stood up abruptly, walked to Eisenhower, pointed to the Atlantic Ocean area between Bermuda and Puerto Rico on the map, and said loudly: "We can now be sure that the main fleet of the Germans is here. The main target is nothing more than Bermuda or Puerto Rico, not Newfoundland. Therefore, we should immediately transfer all the F4U fighters that were originally planned to be sent to Newfoundland to the Caribbean, and then decide whether to send the entire aviation All the troops were transferred to the Caribbean theater. As long as we can gain an advantage in air combat, we will definitely be able to repel the attack of the Germans! Because there are only so many carrier-based aircraft on their aircraft carrier, which cannot withstand consumption.

As for Canada, the Germans won't be there for a while, and we can wait until the end of the Central American campaign before taking planes from MacArthur. "

Eisenhower still did not answer Halsey, but turned to look at Admiral Cunningham of the Free Britain.It is not a military issue to divert the plane originally dispatched to Canada to the Caribbean Sea, but a political issue involving the relationship between the United States and the Free British Alliance!This time, Harry Hopkins' trip to China has already offended the British. If he makes a gesture of abandoning the free Britain in terms of military deployment, I am afraid that the only real ally, the United States, will have his own heart!

Cunningham knew that Eisenhower was waiting for him to express his position, and that Halsey's suggestion was correct, but he could not make his own decisions on this issue.After all, Canada is now the last foothold of the British Empire. If something goes wrong, then these people will really become bereaved dogs.

After hesitating for a moment, Cunningham said slowly: "The transfer of all the Fourth Air Force from the West Coast of the United States to Canada was agreed by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill on the phone, and I have no right to change the decision of the Prime Minister. But I can Suggest to Ottawa to agree to temporarily use this air force for Caribbean operations, and I believe that Mr. Prime Minister will take care of the overall situation."
