The cold wind in the evening swept across the sea quickly, and the waves were still turbulent in the deep Atlantic Ocean. The strong smell of gunpowder smoke seemed to be tempered by glue, stubbornly sticking to the thick steam, spreading out from low altitude for hundreds of kilometers. , with the sea breeze blowing fast and slow, wordlessly conveying all the information that happened before.
The "Xuanyuan" electromagnetic attack ship slowed down, and its majestic body with a displacement of 70,000 tons stood steadily on the sea. All life scanning and detection equipment were fully activated, scanning an area with a radius of forty kilometers in all directions without blind spots. Combined with more than 20 rescue helicopters hovering in the low altitude, "Thunder Dragon" attack aircraft, and underwater submarines, they formed a large airtight sieve, slowly advancing from the place where it entered the battlefield, passing through Everywhere, any active life signal was accurately marked, and an armed speedboat rushed over the top of the waves, rescued the person, and sent them to the medical center on the ship.
About 200 kilometers away, the "Shennong" also played the same role. It opened a wide net, combined with three guided missile cruisers, swept across the vast battle sea area with a width of 500 kilometers, and sailed towards the German fleet in an orderly manner. The trajectory advances in reverse.
In the entire area, there were at least hundreds of helicopters participating in the operation. Without the noise of gunfire and explosions, there were only the rumbling rotation of the propellers, mixed with the shrill shouts of the drowning people one after another.
Just ten minutes ago, the battle was completely over. The final glory of the German Navy, the battleship "Bismarck" was completely destroyed after being hit by 28 rounds of 420mm armor-piercing shells, 4 rounds of high-speed electromagnetic artillery shells, and 7 heavy torpedoes at close range, and was blown up seven times. After zero eight, he fell into the abyss. From beginning to end, no one on the entire ship surrendered, and the commander team headed by Admiral Lukins died heroically in the line of duty.
After losing all the battleships and fleet commanders, the dozen or so ships that survived decisively chose to surrender. The wolves that failed to be hunted also surfaced one after another, and with the permission of the merciful Chinese, participated in the comprehensive rescue operation of the survivors who fell into the water.
Under the previous continuous missile, electromagnetic gun and sea-air joint attacks, hundreds of ships were seriously injured and lost power and force, but they did not sink quickly. At this time, most of the ships still had part of their hull structures exposed on the water, carrying floating loads. Shen.
? Same. The officers and soldiers on these ships were relatively lucky to get on the lifeboats in time and did not die in the sea with the warships. As for those who were overturned and fell into the water earlier, or fell into the water after the battleship was completed, in such a cold climate, it only takes 10 minutes to be frozen into popsicles. The dead can no longer die.
It can be said that the most powerful German navy in history, with a huge force of hundreds of battleships, can survive after the battle, no more than one fifth!
Naval battles are so cruel. As a navy, sinking with the battleships in battle is their destined destination. Perhaps the Germans have already realized this.
Under the personal leadership of Zhu Bin, the Chinese fleet that was killing people like crazy a moment ago turned into angels saving lives and healing the wounded in a blink of an eye. During the slow and steady full-scale search, everyone who was still breathing was rescued and treated in time. They don't let it go just because of their hostile camp. This approach was praised by a group of old-school naval officers led by Chen Shaokuan.
In any case, the navy of this era has a pretty good spirit of chivalry. The pride and strong sense of honor that comes from tradition make them brave enough to do things that seem to be very humanitarian.
Zhu Bin is indispensable, in his opinion. In war, all soldiers and officers are expendables and cannon fodder. Soldiers without technical equipment protection no matter how brave they are, no matter how high the price they pay. They are all representatives of tragedy. Today, the classical navy can officially come to an end, and he unceremoniously acts as the executioner who smashes into pieces the tradition that has been tempered and cultivated for thousands of years.
Behind the scenes, large hospital rescue ships and supply ships also released as many people as possible. The speedboats driven by the amphibious troops accompanying the army covered the sea surface. It looked more like a shipwreck rescue of unprecedented scale.
However, when those ships that were absolutely hopeless, or that were still worth repairing after being seriously injured, were unceremoniously destroyed by Zhu Bin's order, allowing the cruisers, destroyers and even submarines that had not fired much to use their cheap shells or torpedoes to attack from the air. The plane dropped bombs and was severely bombarded, which meant that the "all annihilation" he said was definitely not a joke.
From another perspective, it is that he looks down upon these ships owned by the Germans that are obviously out of date! If you don¡¯t have the time to renovate, you might as well build a new one!
The empty electromagnetic attack ships, rescue ships, and tens of thousands of beds and cabins were quickly filled. After following the troops for half a year, the idle military doctors with itchy bones were very busy, each with their own skills. Speaking German and English, he communicated with the rescued captives and wounded people, and was once on several ships.Today, the majority of people speak foreign languages!
Seeing that even four "Kunlun Ships" had joined the rescue operation, Chen Shaokuan was sure that Zhu Bin was not pretending to fool people, and his worries were basically put down. However, seeing that he actually ordered the attack fleet to take off again to kill the remaining British-Italian coalition ships on the right, he asked with some confusion: "Why do you treat them favorably?"
Zhu Bin made no secret of his inner bias: "The British, Italians and Germans are incomparable. In any case, in terms of their contribution to the entire human race and world civilization, their combined contributions cannot keep up with one-tenth of Germany. In addition, in terms of their contribution to the entire human race and world civilization, they can't even keep up with one-tenth of Germany." , China has suffered a series of disasters in the past century, and the British must bear 90% of the responsibility!"
Chen Shaokuan and others are very clear about the role the British played in the two Opium Wars and the subsequent hundred years of China's internal and external difficulties. But this does not mean that all the responsibility must be placed on the British! Without the corruption, seclusion, depravity, blind arrogance, and perverse behavior of the Manchus, how would there be any chance for the British to be tyrannical?
"In addition, there are other great powers, and they are all thugs who have rushed to bite China. Compared with them, the difference is only fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Zhu Bin had his own opinion on this: "I don't care what others think. At least the British have caused endless disasters to the Chinese nation and the entire world, and must be punished thoroughly! Think about it, look around the world, can you find out How many countries were not attacked and invaded by the British? How many civilizations did they destroy during their hundreds of years of colonial expansion? The ethnic strife and regional estrangement they caused. How many people were harmed? In comparison, the Germans are simpler and cuter than them. A hundred times more! In a world with them, humanity will never be united."
The old gentlemen were silent. Zhu Bin is right. The British Empire was full of ugliness and fatigue in this war, and it has long lost the glory it had built over the past hundreds of years.
If you admit failure directly. Just give up the leadership, but the British don't want to do that. On the one hand, they are sowing discord, stirring up disputes and hatred around the world, and on the other hand, they are still pretending to be "we are the beacon of human civilization" and pretending to be good people.
Looking back at the world over hundreds of years. The colonial aggression of various countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the melee and killings in Europe, and the continuous disputes between China, Japan and Russia in the East, when was it not the British who turned their hands to make clouds and rain?
From the standpoint of an absolute outsider, you can say that the British have that kind of strength, and for their own benefit, it is justifiable to do that. But what about from the Chinese perspective? Look at it from the perspective of the vast majority of countries and nations that have suffered greatly. The British are the source of harm to all mankind! If you don¡¯t punish them, who will they punish?
The older generation of the Chinese navy, which was directly inherited from the British navy, naturally cannot have the same ideas as Zhu Bin. However, Zhu Bin has a big fist, high authority, and now he has the momentum to dominate the world, even if he is criticized for his actions. , there are different opinions. Then I had to keep it.
As for the Italians, judging from a series of performances in recent years, they are simply a shameful representative of modern soldiers! Do you keep them just as a joke?
So, the outcome of that journey was destined.
Looking back, we looked at the remnants of the U.S. Navy on the other side. They had not moved in according to the plan since the beginning of the war, and they were running further and further away from the main battlefield. When Zhu Bin launches a full-scale attack. Their forward ships are almost reaching New York This clearly shows that he doesn¡¯t want to get involved and is determined to betray his teammates!
Zhu Bin could only sneer in response to this: "Americans are really smart! They know what they can't do, so they simply have no moral integrity. But it's okay. It saves us a lot of trouble. Well, we will deal with them later."
A mere two battleships and a bunch of aircraft carriers may seem powerful, but in fact, Zhu Bin doesn't even notice them. They are just bones in a grave. If necessary, a group of "Thunder Dragon" fighter jets can be easily wiped out.
Chen Shaokuan and others were speechless at what the Americans did, shaking their heads repeatedly. Such a spirit really disgraces the Navy! No wonder for decades, despite having the largest economic and military strength in the world, no one has stepped out to become the boss. From top to bottom, this is too much of a philistine! It is worthy of being a country controlled by businessmen. If there is no profit, we will not start early, and we will not invest in anything that is not beneficial!
¡°So, what¡¯s next? Declare war on Germany?¡±
Old gentlemen, they are more concerned about whether Zhu Bin will be angry because of this, or take the opportunity to provoke a new round of war. It would be great fun if the war really spread to Europe! The Chinese actually started deploying military force around the world, sending their armies directly to the home bases of the Western powers. It¡¯s very interesting to think about this!
Zhu Bin nodded without hesitation: "This is inevitable. Hitler took the lead in tearing up the agreement and provoking disputes. Of course we cannot suffer this humiliation. Times have changed, and we Chinese have been wronged for more than a thousand years, and we are aggrieved. Hundreds??, now we have to change to a new atmosphere! If someone dares to bully someone, they must not give in and beg for mercy as if their head is caught in the door, and do the so-called 'big country gesture'! Anyone who offends our strong men will be killed no matter how far away! We should learn from our ancestors and show our swords if we have them. This is not to intimidate, but to warn those profit-seeking bastards who do not want to live a good life in peace, try to impose trouble on us, and regard our generosity and compassion as weakness. But what awaits them is definitely not a feeble protest. My knife is for killing people! "
Zhu Bin's will was implemented with unprecedented speed. While they continued to rescue and salvage, the domestic authorities had also broadcast to the world that "Germany brazenly tore up the agreement, attempted a sneak attack on the ocean-going fleet, was repelled decisively, and openly declared war." Shocking news!
At this time, Hitler was still waiting in the "Wolf's Lair" for the good news of victory. Leng Buding saw the officer closest to him, sweating profusely and holding a telegram with a pale face, stumbled in and reported stammeringly: "F¨¹hrer! We are in big trouble! The navythe navy has completely failed, China, right We declare war!"
"That's impossible!"
Hitler swung his head violently, roared and stood up, snatched the telegram and read it in two or two glances, then tore it into pieces, gritted his teeth and shouted: "They are lying! The damn Chinese must be eating At the end of the day! The great Imperial Navy can never fail!"
"Dear Head of State. The news is true!"
Himmler followed closely, his face ashen, and with trembling hands he turned on the radio on the high-end sound system imported from China. Immediately, there was a direct intrusion into their radio band, an indignant and continuous message in German, and a message from the Atlantic. The latest battle situation.
No matter which channel you change, the content is the same. Such situations. This happened in the United States before and has long been known to all countries. Hitler felt that his head was "buzzing" and his body was swaying. He suddenly slumped down in a chair and stared at the corner of the wall. I was speechless for a long time.
Himmler¡¯s eyes twitched, and he sighed silently. He turned around and looked at the confused G?ring, shook his head slightly, and went out without saying a word to arrange for people to suppress public opinion, especially to control private broadcasts. I hope it¡¯s still too late.
?Always. The German news media reported good news but not bad news. In fact, they did not suffer much defeat. No matter how protracted the war was, there were always unprecedented victories every few months. At present, the Eastern Front is entering the final decisive battle, and Marshal Bok vows that in one month, he will be able to completely capture the strong cities such as Moscow and Stalingrad. After that, we can drive straight in, sweep across the entire Russian hinterland, complete a deep attack on the area east of the Ural Mountains, and completely defeat this feuding enemy!
Now, the terrible news that the navy has been wiped out suddenly appears across the board. It has an immeasurable impact on the prestige and morale of the entire country and Hitler!
Especially the countries that surrendered before. It will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and that will be a big and fatal trouble! If it further affects the millions of troops on the Eastern Front and leads to failure the consequences will be disastrous!
As for China¡¯s declaration of war, when will it send its troops to Europe? What a terrible impact it would have, Himmler and others couldn't care less. Do whatever you want, the Chinese like to come from tens of thousands of miles away and capture lands they are destined to be unable to rule, so just let them be!
There was a mess here, and on the other side, the US Navy, which had escaped from the battle, received a report from the lurking submarine force immediately after the electromagnetic suppression ended. Spruance took a look at it and said very calmly: " The Germans are finished.¡±
Then he immediately ordered the entire fleet to shrink its formation, lower its profile, and proceed harmlessly and quickly towards the east coast of the United States. He also ordered the entire army: "If you encounter a warning from a Chinese fighter plane or ship, you must not launch an attack! Be patient and patient! This battle , we won¡¯t fight!¡±
Fletcher, who had been holding back his anger and was thinking about how to take revenge, was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Why?! With our strength, even if we can't kill the Chinese, we can at least teach them a profound lesson! You know, they are There was a fierce battle with such a powerful force!¡±
Spruance sighed: "Don't expect the Chinese to take much damage or be exhausted or anything. Frank, we are too far behind! I bet the Germans didn't even manage to hit the Chinese ships." Drop even one bomb! Face it, gentlemen! In order to preserve the last bit of strength of the United States Navy, we would rather be a turtle for once!"
"Damn it!"
Fletcher slammed the table angrily, looked up to the sky and sighed, but had to accept this reality. After so many failures, how could he not know that the huge gap in technical equipment has long eliminated the decisive factors of tonnage, main gun caliber, and quantity in the classical navy?What about the judging criteria?
Spruance not only closed down the fleet and simply pretended to be a grandson, but also spread the news back to the country as soon as possible, especially the reconnaissance planes that had been flying around the German navy and watched their one-sided defeat from a distance. Subsequently, more and more detailed reports were issued, allowing President Truman, as a puppet, to make decisive and wise judgments. Not long after the global announcement of China's declaration of war on Germany was released, after closed-door emergency consultations, he also issued a statement: "The United States will We will not accept the German Nazis¡¯ reign of terror! We will expel all invaders in North America, and freedom belongs to the United States!¡±
The U.S. Army and Air Force, which had laid down their weapons to play soy sauce, were re-called by countless officers who did not know where they were hiding, and launched a comprehensive force to drive away the Germans who were absolutely inferior in number.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the scheming Rommel sized up the situation and anticipated the dire prospects. He decisively chose strategic avoidance and ordered the troops scattered in the northern United States to quickly gather and retreat to the Canadian border. He shrank his defenses and defended the rear line, waiting for the latest changes in the situation. , and even secretly sent representatives to contact the Chinese occupation forces in the south to seek compromise negotiations.
The whole world is in chaos again, and a naval battle is enough to change countless things.
Zhu Bin asked the North American occupation forces headed by Yu Baoguo to be responsible for the specific defense and prepare to cover the entire United States as appropriate. He left the others to clean up the mess and flew directly back to China in the "Parrot" to prepare for the war against Germany. .
Declaring war does not mean starting a fight right away. Europe is different from the Americas. It is a large battlefield that has already been fought together. He must make a clear judgment on what kind of posture is more beneficial to blending in. What's more, he has to decide how to fight this battle in line with China's interests and his wishes.
In addition, there is another key matter that he must handle personally¡ª¡ªthe spaceship that has been secretly built for many years is finally completed!
