    Qingying had already foreseen the setbacks Japan encountered when attacking the Hawaiian Islands.  + After all, Hawaii is not just a projectile-sized Midway Island. The US military facilities in this area are extremely complete and solid. As long as a powerful land-based aviation force is deployed here, it can realize its ideals when surrounded by vast oceans on all sides.  protection.  The reason why Germany is currently able to continuously attack cities in the Caribbean is not only that its fleet aviation power is strong enough, but more importantly, because there are many islands in this area, its own air force can provide continuous support nearby.  In the North Pacific, its vast ocean terrain is very different from the Caribbean Sea, which is densely populated with islands. It can be said that the Japanese army captured the isolated and helpless Midway Island easily, but it is not easy to go further to Hawaii in the east.  !  From a tactical perspective, the Japanese fleet's attack still suffers from considerable technical deficiencies: not to mention the performance disadvantages of its carrier-based aircraft, the entire fleet does not have a radar, which is intolerable in the current era of naval warfare.  matter.  However, Qingying had no intention of exporting these technologies to the Japanese from beginning to end.  Compared with the alliance between Austria-Hungary and Italy and Germany, Japan's alliance has a strong sense of temporaryness and copper odor: the two sides have almost irresolvable potential disputes on Southeast Asian issues, and they can only join forces on the premise of defeating the United States.  Driven by mutual utilization, we came to the same front.  In this case, it is obvious that Germany cannot give all its resources to others.  As long as the Japanese navy maintained pressure in the Pacific and forced the United States to devote a significant portion of its naval and air forces to the Western Front, Germany's basic objective had been achieved.  "We no longer need to count on the Japanese fleet. Even if they really capture all of Hawaii, it will be difficult to send many troops across the 8,000-kilometer North Pacific to the American battlefield. To truly defeat this country, we can still only rely on Germany.  My own strength." Qingying said calmly.  From Tokyo's perspective.  They may not even have any territorial interest in the North American continent. As long as they remove Hawaii, the core stronghold of American power extending to the Pacific, the Japanese may be satisfied.  "At present, the situation of our army on the island of Cuba has been completely opened up. The US Army is simply unable to resist the sharpness of the German Army. Even Guantanamo, which has a complete fortification group, cannot hold on for too long. It is estimated that there will be more  In less than half a month, this kind of island will fall into the hands of our army." Qingying paused slightly, and then asked Newright, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs next to him.  "Four months ago, we launched secret contacts with the Mexican government. Now that the war situation in the Caribbean has been decided, they should also consider their future sides, right?" Newright replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Mexicans are already here  A few days ago, we had a new round of talks with our ambassador in Mexico City. They expressed enthusiastic congratulations on Germany's victory in Cuba, and their hesitation about entering the war has also changed significantly.  The complete expulsion of the Americans from the territory of Cuba will undoubtedly prompt the Mexicans to take that decisive step. Nearly a century later, the US-Mexico war that caused them to lose more than 2.2 million square kilometers of territory still makes every Mexican.  Everyone is angry. Germany has the best basis for cooperation. The only thing they worry about now is the risk of war, and our military's complete control of Cuba can eliminate all their concerns."  Qingying nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.  The foreign war that the United States launched westward in order to create a "new America" ??has now given itself the best frontline platform to invade its homeland.  As long as Mexico declares its participation in the war, the war situation in North America will undergo a fundamental turn: the western part of Cuba is only less than 300 kilometers away from the eastern tip of Mexico, and German troops can easily cross this narrow waterway and land on the North American continent.  , and after that is a vast stage for them to gallop.  Compared to launching a large-scale landing in the southern United States, reaching Mexico is undoubtedly much safer than the former!  "Let our diplomats tell the Mexican government that they can start to improve the port facilities in the southern Gulf of Mexico and rectify the domestic railways running through the north and south. As long as we control the Caribbean, the number of people and materials landing in North America will far exceed theirs.  The imagination allows them to not worry about possible invasion by the US Army. In addition, the battlefield airport and supporting projects can be built now, which are key tasks that can help them regain their homeland in the north." Qingying said.  Said happily.  Hearing Qingying mention the airport construction matters, Toth, the Minister of Equipment Production next to him, seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have recently received two completely different requirements for the production of Air Force fighter aircraft. West.  Marshal Kurt hoped that the empire's factories could build more four-engine heavy bombers me264 so that Cuba could be used as a base to launch large-scale strategic bombing of cities and factories in the interior of the United States; andHowever, Marshal Dendorf advocated the full production of fighter jets and tactical bombers to ensure direct air support to the army.  If these differences cannot be resolved, the Air Force's equipment production work will not be carried out.  " Qingying was slightly surprised and turned her questioning eyes to the two veteran generals holding the marshal's scepter in front of her. Sickert, who was as thin as a bee, adjusted the monocle on his right eye.  His face was full of calm and calm, and the sturdy Ludendorff showed no signs of weakness. He silently declared his attitude in a calm manner. Since the establishment of the German Air Force, the two have worked hard in various aspects such as resources, funding, and manpower.  engaged in various battles for the interests of his own military branch; although Ludendorff was superior to Sickert in terms of reputation and qualifications, because Sickert served as Qingying's chief of staff in the last war, he served as the chief of staff for later generations.  The warriors who worked hard to win the battlefield can be regarded as the most upright and direct descendants of Miaohong. In view of this, any disputes between the two sides were placed in front of Qingying, the supreme ruler, for adjudication.  During the process, Qingying also played the role of arbiter with ease, thus firmly grasping the stability of the imperial power. However, this time, he hesitated because of the disagreement between the two.  Kurt's strategic bombing plan is exactly Qingying's long-standing operational vision for the United States. From a macro level, the industrial production capacity of the United States is not far behind that of Germany, which has integrated the entire Europe. Faced with such terrifying war potential.  To defeat the enemy, using heavy bombers to drop a large number of bombs to reduce their production capacity is undoubtedly an effective way to win. Because of this, the German Air Force developed a new four-round heavy bomber based on the JU-88.  -264; After continuous improvement after test flights, the maximum speed of this type of fighter has been increased to a considerable 560km/h, and it has powerful self-defense firepower of 10 13mm heavy machine guns; in the most critical attack area, this type of bomber can  Carrying 9 tons of bombs, its combat radius exceeds 2,000 kilometers. If Havana at the northern end of Cuba is used as the forward base, the me-264 has included the entire southeastern United States and can even drop bombs directly over New York City.  With the roar of the engine, tens of millions of Americans will truly taste the intense horror caused by the war. However, Ludendorff's view also has compelling reasons based on the Army's actions in Cuba.  The battle showed that the U.S. Army, which had lost its air superiority, was nothing but a bunch of weak chickens waiting to be slaughtered; the German armored troops were like tigers entering the flock of sheep, galloping freely and easily capturing a large number of U.S. troops, not to mention all kinds of guns and supplies seized.  Numbers. In recent days, the sight of tens of thousands of American prisoners working hard in Cuban ports has become a new sight on the island. According to this situation, the German army only needs to ensure that there is enough air on the frontline battlefield to deal with their American counterparts.  The strength is enough to sweep thousands of armies with its advantage on land. You must know that the investment of the tactical air force is undoubtedly much lower than that of the strategic air force. The price of one me-264 is enough to build 2.5 ju-88 or 6 fw-190.  ; In this way, the German army can still secure victory on the front line at a relatively small cost! After pondering for a moment, Qingying asked Toth to give the details of the total production of German aircraft in the past two months.  Faced with this production summary, which totaled nearly 9,000 aircraft, Qingying was pleasantly surprised to find that the requirements of the Army and Air Force could be compromised to a considerable extent under this large number of production.  Even when part of the production capacity of heavy bombers is reduced to meet front-line tactical air superiority, this big guy can still come off the production line at a rate of more than 400 per month!  If the target is selected properly, the total number of frontline bombers formed by relying on this production capacity will be enough to cause huge damage to the US industry.  Feeling the strength of his own aviation industry, Qingying has every reason to feel happy for his devotion to the aviation industry over the past two decades.  Soon, he made a decision that both of them could accept on this issue.  "From now on, Navy submarines need to step up patrols and surveillance of the east coast of the United States. The Americans who have lost Cuba are very likely to choose to pull out all the stops and launch attacks on our Atlantic shipping lines! The first batch of refitted merchant aircraft carriers are immediately put into escort  The fleet should provide advance warning to the fleet, and the main fleet should also be ready to fight in the Atlantic at all times. We must not allow the Americans to pose any substantial threat to our rear transportation lines," Qingying finally said to Lei.  Del admonished.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thanks to book friends Kong Shenwu, Angel Airanta, Minzi, dboy1988 for their monthly ticket support, and Golden Crab, zhouyu1976 for their rewards~~~
