    The Chinese Air Force¡¯s bombing operation against the southern German city of Munich was very successful.  During this bombing, four wings of the Chinese Air Force's H10 "Kunpeng" long-range bombers dropped more than 1,400 tons of bombs, blowing the industrial zone in the west of Munich into ruins!  Although the entire industrial area was not completely destroyed, many important factories, such as machinery factories, arsenals, and an aircraft factory, suffered heavy losses.  In addition, the escorting fighter jets also shot down more than 30 Luftwaffe fighters.

    In this bombing operation, the Chinese Air Force only lost two H10 "Kunpeng" long-range bombers and three F10 "Lightning" heavy fighter jets.  Such losses seem a bit insignificant compared to the results achieved!

    After the fleet bombed Munich, it returned along the original route.  That afternoon, a huge fleet of aircraft bombed Munich again.  This time, Germany was well prepared, causing the Chinese Air Force's losses to be much greater, but overall, the losses were still within an acceptable range.  But two bombings by the Chinese Air Force destroyed most of Munich's industrial zone!  A large number of factories were bombed, machinery and equipment were reduced to a pile of scrap metal, and many workers were also killed in the bombing.  This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Germany!  After the German Air Force sneak attacked the bases of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force, the Chinese Air Force finally retaliated in kind!

    When Kaiser Wilhelm II received the report from Munich, he was furious.  The war had just begun, and the Chinese dropped bombs on the German mainland. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to William II!  In addition, this not only caused a huge blow to German industry, but more seriously, it also greatly affected the confidence of the German people, which was very detrimental to the continued war!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II urgently summoned important members of the German government and military.  On the one hand, he asked the government to speed up the resumption of production to ensure that Germany's military potential would not be affected.  On the other hand, the military is required to take good defense, especially the air force, and must destroy incoming Chinese aircraft to ensure the safety of Germany's homeland!

    The commander of the German Air Force, General Schulz, was very helpless. The Chinese Air Force fighter planes entered from high altitude.  The Luftwaffe's fighter planes were completely helpless.  Only when Chinese Air Force bombers are bombing do they have a chance to launch an attack.  However, the escort fighters of the Chinese Air Force were very fierce, and the Hurricane IV fighters of the German Air Force simply could not withstand them.  In addition, the German Air Force suffered heavy losses in the previous period.  It is already very difficult for them to defend their homeland!  To this.  General Schulz had no choice but to tell Kaiser Wilhelm II that the German Air Force would try its best to intercept the invading Chinese Air Force fighters.  Kaiser Wilhelm II was somewhat dissatisfied with General Schulz's answer.

    In addition, the commander of the German Air Force, General Schulz, also assigned tasks to various aircraft manufacturers, requiring them to further expand production capacity to make up for the losses of the German Air Force during this period.  To intercept the Chinese Air Force, the German Air Force must first have enough fighters.  if not.  It's all talk.  Another point is that the gap between the German Air Force's fighter jets and the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets also made General Schultz very depressed.  The Hurricane IV fighter jet is no match for the Chinese fighter jets. In the air battle, the German Air Force cannot take any advantage at all. If this continues, it will be even more difficult for the German Air Force to defeat the Chinese Air Force!  to this end.  General Schultz requested to speed up the development of the Hurricane V fighter jet. It must be completed in the shortest possible time and then mass-produced to protect Germany's skies!

    Since the Chinese Air Force¡¯s strategic bombing of Germany started on January 18, it will never stop unless it is affected by weather!  It was not just Munich that was targeted.  Other cities in Germany have also become targets of bombing by the Chinese Air Force.  After all, with the combat radius of the H10 Kunpeng bomber, if it takes off from Corsica.  Almost most German cities can be included, including Berlin, the capital of Germany.  However, Berlin is the most heavily defended city in Germany. If the Chinese Air Force wants to bomb Berlin, it may have to pay a higher price.  Therefore, Berlin will not be a target for bombing by the Chinese Air Force in a short period of time.  On the contrary, those industrial cities were frequently bombed by the Chinese Air Force!  At its largest scale, the Chinese Air Force dispatched more than a thousand H10 "Kunpeng" long-range bombers at one time, bombing an important industrial area in Germany into ruins.

    The Chinese Air Force¡¯s bombing of Germany was not relieved until the German Air Force¡¯s Hurricane V fighter jets entered service.  The performance of the Hurricane V fighter has been improved a lot. Although it still has certain disadvantages compared with the Chinese Air Force's F11 'Vulture' fighter, it can compete with the F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter.  This causes the Chinese Air Force to lose more and more fighters every time it bombs.  However, for a long timeThe strategic bombing dealt a huge blow to German industry, which effectively weakened Germany's war potential and created favorable conditions for China to defeat Germany!

    While the Mediterranean battlefield was in full swing, Germany also launched a counterattack.  In the Pacific, Germany has many colonies.  In addition, when carving up the overseas colonies of Britain and France, Germany was allocated many small islands in the Pacific, which further expanded Germany's power in the Pacific.  These small islands do not have much economic value, but their strategic value is very high.  As the conflict between China and Germany grows, Germany has stepped up its military deployment in the Pacific.  Before the war began, Germany's colonies in the Pacific had deployed more than 200,000 army troops and tens of thousands of navy troops, mainly dozens of light surface warships and hundreds of submarines.  In addition, the German Army Aviation and Naval Aviation also have thousands of aircraft in the Pacific region!

    After the outbreak of the war, China increased its military investment in the Pacific region and began to raid German islands in the Pacific based on Southeast Asia, Australia and Hawaii.

    During the war, many of China¡¯s war supplies needed to pass through the Pacific route.  Especially the large quantities of copper ore and saltpeter coming from Chile had to be changed.  Originally, these supplies were shipped directly to China through the central Pacific region. However, after the war broke out, the central route was threatened by the German submarine force. The ships transporting these supplies had to change their routes and first sail north along the American continent.  After Hawaii, we then headed to China via the North Pacific route, which directly increased the distance by more than half.

    In order to retaliate against the Chinese Air Force¡¯s bombing of the German mainland, Germany deployed submarines in the Pacific as a means of counterattack.  These submarines cruise in the Pacific and are immediately sunk once they are spotted flying the Chinese flag or the flag of a member state of the Eastern Alliance.  In just half a month, China lost more than 200,000 tons of merchant ships!

    In this regard, the Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze was very dissatisfied and ordered the First Fleet to destroy the German submarine force and protect the safety of the waterway!

    The Chinese Navy¡¯s First Fleet has dispatched four aircraft carrier battle groups to fight in the Pacific Ocean. Together with the Air Force¡¯s heavy fighter jets and long-range bombers, there have been as many as 2,000 combat aircraft deployed in the Pacific region.  At the same time, "City-class" destroyers and "Erhai-class" frigates equipped with second-generation advanced sonar technology have also been stationed in the Pacific in large numbers to launch attacks on German submarines.  The Chinese Navy is also equipped with an anti-submarine patrol aircraft. This anti-submarine patrol aircraft was developed on the platform of the Y4 transport aircraft. It has a maximum range of up to 3,000 kilometers and is equipped with cannons, depth bombs, etc. Once a German submarine is discovered, it can  Attack with cannon and depth charges.

    Submarines of this era cannot submerge for long periods of time. Generally, they can only submerge for three to four hours, and then they must surface to recharge.  The submarine that surfaces has undoubtedly become the easiest target to attack. Whether it is depth bombs or machine guns, it can easily penetrate the fragile shell of the submarine!

    The Chinese Navy has deployed a total of two hundred anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the Pacific. On the one hand, it hunts down the German Navy's submarine forces, and on the other hand, it is to detect the movements of the German army!

    At the same time, the Chinese Marine Corps also began to gather to prepare to sweep German islands in the Pacific.  If you want to completely eliminate Germany's threat to China in the Pacific, you must occupy all these islands.  To this end, the Chinese Navy¡¯s First Fleet has invested its main force in the Pacific.  Two task forces composed of "Island-class" aircraft carriers, plus an artillery formation composed of two "Imperial-class" battleships and four "Tang-class" battleships, were all devoted to attacking German islands in the Pacific.  .  Several other battles consisting of "Wuyue-class" aircraft carriers in the Home Fleet have already embarked on their journey to Europe.  Although the German Navy has been avoiding war, and a decisive battle with the German Navy cannot be fought for a while, it still has to guard against it.  All five aircraft carrier battle groups will join the Second Fleet, leaving the Second Fleet with ten Wuyue-class aircraft carriers.  Such a huge force is enough to meet the challenge of the German Navy!

    After the war broke out, the Chinese Army began a large-scale expansion of its troops, and the same was true for the Marine Corps.  Before the war broke out, the Chinese Marine Corps had only ten divisions, and they were deployed all over the world. Only three divisions could be deployed in the Pacific battlefield!  However, the German Army deployed 200,000 people in the Pacific.  To this end, the Chinese Navy has decided to deploy all the twenty expanded divisions of the Marine Corps and the ten newly formed divisions into the Pacific battlefield!
