Chapter 358 Yang Feng mediates
Jeddah Port.
In fact, the eight warships of Yang Feng were anchored here. The Japanese fleet was afraid of completely angering him, so they just guarded in the Gulf of Aden to prohibit these warships from going out. Since this way, they could not always float on the sea. There is now a decent port on the Red Sea. Where can I go if I don’t come here?
These eight warships were driven by sailors hired by JY Company in Europe and the United States, most of which were French. It can be seen that these guys really wanted to beat the Japanese. After seeing their big boss, a major who had just retired from France suggested that they just rushed out and raid the Japanese army.
The Japanese fleet that blocked them was not very strong. After all, the main force of the Japanese army is now in the Pacific Ocean, with the core being the USS Shochi aircraft carrier, and there are two heavy cruisers, Guying and Gagu, plus four light cruisers and ten destroyers. Originally, this fleet was providing support to the army in Australia, but with the gradual addition of China Airlines, they are no longer of great use.
After the failure of the attack on East Australia, the Japanese and Australian fronts had all retreated to Western Australia. Their main opponents, the Chinese aiding forces, blocked the South Pacific routes after the war between the United States and Japan. As a result, the supply of materials was tight, so they were temporarily unable to launch an attack, and the war basically entered a state of confrontation.
"Mr. Yang, even if we do not have air cover, we can guarantee that we can sink the Xianghe if we attack at night." Colonel Pierre said confidently. Even those Americans were eager to try. You must know that these eight warships are not weak. If there is no threat from Japanese carrier-based aircraft, they will definitely have the strength to fight against the Japanese fleet.
Although the Cleveland class is a light cruiser in the United States, its tonnage is actually much larger than the ancient Eagle class, which is considered a heavy cruiser. Its full load displacement is 14,000. Yang Feng's two ships were originally for the US Navy, but in order to restrain the Japanese army from the Indian Ocean, Roosevelt deliberately transferred them to Yang Feng. If it were an American warship, the Germans would definitely not let it pass through the Suez Canal.
As for the remaining four Fletcher-class ships, they are also the latest destroyers now, and they are not inferior to the Japanese light patrol in battle, not to mention two monsters like the Dream-class. This is really powerful to fight. Otherwise, the Japanese fleet would not have failed to enter the Red Sea, and they themselves would not have the confidence to win.
But Yang Feng thought about it and just let it go. He really wanted to get angry. It would be troublesome to attract the Japanese main fleet to his place.
"Horse first! It's not too late to wait until our bishop comes over before taking action. You will stay in Jeddah Port during this period. If the Japanese fleet enters the Red Sea, you will retreat to the Gulf of Aqaba. The British Air Force there will provide you with protection, but you must be wary of the Saudis." Yang Feng said.
"Mr. Yang. What do you mean?" Pierre said, because among these people, he had a high military rank, so he temporarily acted as the commander of the fleet.
"We need this port." Yang Feng said as he looked at the ports that were occupied by his fleet. The main business of Jeddah Port is the believers who came to Mecca to pilgrimage from all over the country. At this time, there were no more than a few pilgrimage from the chaotic war. As for the commerce, there is no way to export this ghost place except sand. Although there is oil, the problem is that it cannot be sold. Exporting to Asia, Japan, Britain, and China, Japan, and Europe, the other way is to the direction of Europe. As for the oil produced by the United States, it is impossible to use, so there is no need to import it.
This port must be obtained. Since that old man Ibn Saudi Arabia does not give him face, he doesn't have to give him face. However, if he really wants to take action, there are still many troubles to solve. First of all, the army must be increased. Ma Hongbin's troops cannot move 30,000 people, and most of his subordinates are infantry, which is not suitable for fighting in large-scale desert areas like Saudi Arabia. In addition, he must be wary of the Japanese starting from Mumbai to land on the Arabian Peninsula.
In this way, another unit must be transferred, and an armored division must be equipped with a sufficient number of air forces. In addition to Ma Hongkui, the nearest Chinese army is the only one in Sun Dianying's army in Central Asia. He now has two armored divisions, and three mechanized divisions. From here, one armored division and one mechanized division will be drawn out, and one mechanized division will be introduced from Central Asia to Iran, and then enter Iraq and directly attack Riyadh from Iraq. This is completely feasible. Then Ma Hongbin will launch another cavalry division. Such a force will be enough to sweep Saudi Arabia. A small country with millions of people will retreat.
The Air Force is easy to deal with. Qatar has an air base, but there is only one fighter brigade, which provides protection for Ma Hongbin, but it is enough to accommodate a wing. At that time, a fighter brigade and a dive bomber brigade will be enough to transfer from Pakistan. If heavy bombers are needed, a Liberator brigade is enough to station in Pakistan. Even if this thing takes off from there, it will be enough to blow up Riyadh and fly back.
Besides, with Saudi Arabia's military strength, it is hard to say whether these things are needed at that time! It can be said that there is no difficulty in military affairs, the key lies in politics. Now Saudi Arabia's main interests are the United States, and Chevron and Texago are the main oil investors here. In other words, if they take action against Saudi Arabia, they must obtain the understanding of the Americans. Yang Feng decided to make another effort and Roosevelt came forward to see if I could change his mind. If he was not tactful, there was no need to give him face. Anyway, Americans would not be able to turn against him for Saudi Arabia.
As for the attitude of the British, there is no need to consider it. What qualifications does a country that is now relying on others to say anything? This guy then flew to Europe and stopped in the UK halfway. Because he said hello in advance, the bearded man was scrubbing on his routine every day for three days to give Boss Yang enough face.
This time, Yang Feng found that Britain was really ruined, especially London was bombed to the point of being almost ruined. It is said that the British government has begun to consider moving the capital, and the culprit of this situation was those powerful missiles, so when Churchill came to greet him in person, it could be said that he was in a complicated mood.
"Prime Minister, I will listen to the next advice, don't fight." Yang Feng was indeed very sincere when he said this. Britain has lost this war in its current sense. If the United States does not participate in the war, even if the bearded man does not land, they will not last long.
Churchill couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course he also understood this. If he wanted to make a real peace, the Germans might be able to agree. However, the British honor for hundreds of years would be completely ruined, not to mention that they had lost too much in this war, so they were really unwilling to admit defeat.
"Why do I help your country test it and ask what the attitude of the Germans? If it is appropriate, you might as well contact each other. Don't always hold on like this. Look at what London is like now? There is an old Chinese proverb, you don't have to worry about burning firewood if you keep the green mountains." Yang Feng said.
This is not his temporary brain fever. This guy has been studying how much the beard can develop recently? Judging from the current situation, his support for him seems to be a bit too strong, especially the oil fields and missiles. These two things are too powerful. Now the German army has already attacked the city of Moscow, and has also begun to learn from Yang Feng's methods and start to attack the city with scuds. I guess if Joseph plays the Red Square military parade again, he might be beheaded by a missile.
Moreover, because of Japan's restraint, Joseph was not able to draw troops from the Far East. Therefore, the result of this Battle of Moscow is really unpredictable. If the German army occupied Moscow, it would not have been destroyed. However, it would have been extremely heavy blows, and it would have a series of unpredictable chain reactions. If the Germans still kill all directions in the future, it would be possible to destroy the Soviet Union. If he destroys the Soviet Union and turns around to destroy Britain, no one can control it. On the contrary, if enough power is reserved for Britain, it will still be a hindrance to him.
The ideal world of this guy should be that Germany is strong and dominates Western Europe, but Britain is not weak, blocking its estuary. The Soviet Union retains it but its strength must be greatly weakened. Then it is the most beneficial to China as a strategic buffer between China and Germany. Germany is the most beneficial to China. Germany's strength doesn't matter. A country that has been forced to force cannot last long. Now this trend has actually appeared. France's resistance harasses the German army every day, and the Germans even threaten the French with the method of scheming. The guerrillas in Tito, the Balkans also made them miserable. Even the Ukrainians who once regarded them as liberators began to appear after discovering that there would be no liberators in their own world. It can be imagined that this situation can only become more and more serious.
It is precisely based on this strategic concept that Yang Feng decided to make serious efforts for the peace talks between the British and German countries. Whether it is successful or not depends on God's will.
Churchill and the British Cabinet were also a little moved by his proposal. After all, Britain is really badly beaten. Hundreds of missiles are attacked every day. No one can stand it if this continues. London has been destroyed. More than half of the city's buildings have been turned into ruins, and other industrial cities have not been spared. The missiles hit Manchester at the farthest. Germany's production is not very sufficient. With their industrial capabilities, if production continues without restrictions, it is possible to beat the UK to be honest.
After a heavy and serious discussion, the British government decided to ask Yang Feng to help them come for a test to see if the Germans had the will to restore peace.
