"First of the People's Republic of China, it's better to send the navy to fight in the English Channel!"

Rudolph advised Hitler, saying that the Chinese Empire had deployed twelve Aegis and electronic combat ships in the English Channel, which could detect hail missiles launched by the German Army and bombers of the Luftwaffe, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the air strike against Britain, and the twelve warships were needed to be destroyed. The only ones that could destroy them were the German High Seas Fleet.

Hitler was also very aware of the battle situation in the English Channel, but he was worried about the fact that he was mainly worried about releasing the High Seas Fleet. Once surrounded and attacked by the main fleet of the Imperial Navy, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the German High Seas Fleet would not be able to compete with the Imperial Navy, and he would be very likely to be in danger of being wiped out.

Although Hitler knew that keeping the German fleet at a naval base would lose control of the sea, his mentality of avoiding war and protecting ships made him very cautious, and he did not want to dispatch the high seas fleet.

"Is there no other way?"

Rudolph shook his head. Hitler sighed and nodded in agreement. He knew very well that if there was a way, Rudolph would not repeatedly lobby him on this issue.

In this way, the German Navy's high seas fleet received the highest order from the head of state and prepared to go to the British Strait to fight.

As of the end of July 1943, the German High Seas Fleet had a total of 54 battleships, including 21 super battleships, 23 fast battleships, 10 battlecruisers, 22 heavy cruisers, 56 light cruisers, 212 destroyers, and 115 submarines (excluding Denitz's submarine fleet). In addition, there were 44 escort aircraft carriers modified by the German Navy.

As the Chinese Imperial Air Force dispatched tens of thousands of bombers to carry out large-scale bombing operations on major ports and important shipyards in Germany, two-thirds of the German Navy's under construction could not be completed on time due to the destruction of the dock, and was even destroyed in the dock together, causing many new main battleships and aircraft carriers of the German Navy to be unable to be launched, greatly weakening the combat effectiveness of the German Navy.

At the same time, Germany's war machines have been in operation for more than five years. As the main consumable in war, even if Germany adopts state monopoly measures to control output and consumption, it is not enough to support the German army's war consumption.

Before 1942, Hitler's dictatorship once made Germany's steel production peak. However, as the German army was deeply trapped in the Soviet battlefield, the two Moscow battles and the two Stalingrad battles caused heavy losses to the German army. In addition, the continuous bombing of important industrial bases by the Allied Air Force on Germany's local industrial bases led to a serious decline in Germany's steel production. After 1942, Germany's steel could no longer meet the steel consumption of the German army, navy and air force and factory construction, and the gap was from 300,000 tons of steel to 1.1 million tons of iron. By the end of July 1943, this number had risen to 2.2 million tons of steel and 5.7 million tons of pig iron.

As the Chinese Empire's Strategic Air Force continued to bomb Germany's mainland, a large number of German steel factories were damaged. The population was sharply reduced, funds were scarce, and the ore supply and steel production were rapidly declining exponentially, which was very unfavorable to Germany.

As a last resort, Hitler had to order the eleven ultimate battleships under construction to dismantle steel to produce tanks and cannons. Soon, the aircraft carriers under construction in the German army also became the key bombing targets of the Imperial Air Force. The German Navy was forced to abandon more than a dozen aircraft carriers that had been completed and dismantle steel to build submarines. The German Navy's submarine forces also moved into underground caves to avoid being attacked by the Imperial Air Force.

When the German Navy received the order to go to war, their morale was not very high. The German Navy was very clear about the strength of the Chinese Empire's navy. Especially some time ago, the submarine forces of the Chinese Empire had already made the German Navy full of embarrassment, and the main surface fleet of the Chinese Empire was even more victorious. Before the war began, the German Navy had already lost a round in morale.

The news that the German navy left Kiel Port and went to the English Channel to fight was soon mastered by the Chinese Emperor. Although the German side kept this confidential, since World War I, the number of men in European countries has been reduced sharply, and a large number of young European women have been influencing the policy of introducing European brides promoted by the Chinese Empire to go to the Chinese Empire. Since getting married to Chinese men, the Chinese Empire has trained millions of mixed-race ethnic groups in the East and West over the past 20 years after World War I, of which more than one million Germans and about tens of thousands of people joined the army. More than a thousand elites were trained by special training from the Central Intelligence Agency of the Chinese Empire and infiltrated Germany to engage in espionage activities. The Chinese Empire has operated the German intelligence network for nearly half a century, and many senior German officials have many pro-China elements, which has enabled the Chinese Empire to obtain a large amount of German confidential intelligence.

The German Navy went to the English Channel, which was the happiest thing for the Chinese Emperor to do, because they were racking their brains to find an opportunity to fight the German Navy's battle for the battleship.

The United Nations Command quickly held an emergency meeting, and the heads of major fleets of the Imperial Navy and the heads of naval officers of Britain, France and other countries also attended.

Because the US Navy's strength in the Pacific is very weak, it is not even as powerful as the navy of the Lanfang Republic, Singapore and Australia. As the Chinese Empire participated in the war, Lanfang, Singapore and Australia and other countries also participated in the war one after another. Although their naval power is not strong, it is also a considerable force.

The Navy of the Republic of Lanfang has the Six Six Fleet, namely six battleships and six cruisers. More than 30 destroyers, six submarines and one light aircraft carrier. Singapore has four cruisers, seventeen destroyers and two submarines. The Australian Navy has two battlecruisers, two heavy cruisers, three cruisers, twenty-two destroyers and seven submarines.

Although the main battleships of the Three Kingdoms Navy were basically warships eliminated by the Chinese Empire after World War I were modified and upgraded before being handed over to their navy for service, it may seem a bit old to participate in the decisive battle of the main battleship, but it is more than enough to cooperate with the joint ** landing on the west coast of the United States and provide naval and air force fire cover.

In addition, the navies of Chile, Argentina and other countries are also very strong, and are also controlled by the United Nations General Command and can be transferred to the West Coast of the United States at any time to participate in the war.

In this way, the Pacific theater did not require the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy to maintain order. Therefore, the General Staff of the Imperial Empire transferred the main force of the Pacific Fleet to the Atlantic Ocean, gathered with the Imperial Atlantic Fleet, and waited for an opportunity to fight with the main force of the US Navy to seize the sea control of the United States, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea, and cooperated with the joint ** attack on the United States and counterattack the European continent.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Chinese Empire, given that after the long war between the European allies, resources were already on the verge of scarcity, 100% of rubber demand, 60% of cotton and wool demand, 32% of oil demand, 37% of iron sand, 24% of coal (of which coke accounted for 90%), and 20% of food were no longer available from the alliance and needed to rely on imports from abroad (mainly the United States).

After the Chinese Empire officially joined the war, it completely blocked the maritime trade channel between Germany and the United States, and the import of strategic materials and industrial raw materials that Germany urgently needed was severely damaged. The Chinese Empire decided to hit the key points, stifle Germany's economic potential and military industry production, and accelerate the process of victory in the war.

Based on this idea, the Chinese Emperor*** carried out maritime warfare with submarines, surface ships and other forces and blocked all possible material supply channels for the Allies, and also organized and implemented systematic offensive mine-laying operations to block Germany's ports and routes to achieve the purpose of destroying maritime transportation.

Of course, the mine-blocking of major German ports is only part of the Chinese Empire's strategic control over Europe. For the Chinese Empire's Navy, the mine-blocking of major German ports is the hope of trapping the main force of the German navy in the ports, or preventing the German navy from returning to the port to rest, so as to achieve the goal of seizing sea control.

When the main fleet of the German navy left the port of Kiel, the Imperial Chinese Navy immediately began to act. The main fleet began to approach the English Channel, and the submarine fleet took mines to the major ports of the Allied Powers to lay mines, preventing the German Navy from entering the port for rest or evading.

However, this time, since the United Nations** plan to conduct landing operations on the west coast of France, the elimination of the German high seas fleet became the most important thing before landing operations, the United Nations Air Force soon joined the mine-bracing operation.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Chinese Empire authorized the joint commander-in-chief of the ** Western European War Zone General Cai E to preside over the formulation of a plan to blockade Western Europe by mines. Cai E foreseeed that the result of the blockade would prevent the German Navy from obtaining food, fuel and ammunition supplies, and used "hunger" as the battle code.

After the Chinese Empire joined the war, Hitler was worried that the German navy would be completely wiped out by the Chinese Empire's navy, so he ordered the German navy to withdraw from the North Atlantic to the mainland out of the ship protection mentality. In this way, the Chinese Empire and its allies' navies took the initiative.

As early as before World War I, the British Navy had the main strategic goal of blocking the German Navy in the Baltic Sea. Now the British Navy is not able to block the German Navy, but they have rich experience and can cooperate with the Imperial Chinese Navy to implement a blockade against the German Navy again.

The Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy and the Royal Navy carried out high-intensity anti-submarine operations in the North Sea and the English Channel for half a month. The United Nations Navy Air Force carried out large-scale bombings on the ports where German naval submarines were located such as France, the Netherlands, Norway, and other German naval submarines, destroying a large number of submarine production and maintenance facilities, forcing the German Navy's submarines to enter underground caves. The Sino-British Joint Fleet dispatched hundreds of surface ships and submarines to carry out large-scale anti-submarine operations against German, Italian and Spanish submarines on the North Sea and the English Channel, destroying hundreds of allied submarines, and basically lifting the threat of German submarines to the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy.!~!
