    Chapter 1221 The Sharp Knife at the Throat of the World Jet fighters can be seen soaring in the sky, and warships of all sizes can be seen on the sea. The most eye-catching ones are of course the two aircraft carriers, the "Nanhai" and the "East China Sea"  ", these two aircraft carriers have just arrived at the port a few hours ago and have not yet completely stopped and anchored. The jet fighters in the sky were released from the flight decks of these two aircraft carriers. Now, these two aircraft carriers have been completely eliminated.  In addition to propeller-driven fighter jets, steam catapults on ships have become indispensable equipment for fighter jets to take off.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) And here is the Hormuz Naval Base, located at the junction of the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. It goes without saying that the strategic position is important. Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the maritime oil channel of the Persian Gulf.  , this is like the carotid artery of the world's petroleum industry system, close to the throat, and the Hormuz Naval Base is a sharp knife against the carotid artery. As long as the "hand" holding the sharp knife gently  If you exert any force, the whole world will tremble.  This "hand" holding the sword belongs to the Chinese Navy. The Hormuz Naval Base may be China's most important overseas military base, and may even be the most strategic base among all military bases in the world. Hate it to the bone or  Coveted countries are always staring at this place, so the defense of the Hormuz Naval Base is also very strong. Not only are a large number of elite Chinese troops stationed here, but they have also built the most complete and most advanced military base in the world.  The long-range warning system consists of not only radars, but also long-range reconnaissance aircraft. The entire Persian Gulf and the entire Gulf of Oman are under the surveillance of the Hormuz base. No movement can escape the base staff.  Moreover, all military intelligence in the Middle East will also be summarized in the base staff room, which is actually China¡¯s Middle East military command center.  Now, Vice Admiral Shen Honglie is in the staff room of the Hormuz Naval Base, and with the assistance of the staff, he is reading and sorting out the analysis reports on the Iranian war situation in the past two days. Although Shen Honglie is not the commander of the unit directly under the naval base,  Now that he has led the fleet to arrive for reinforcements, he is already a senior commander of the base and has the authority to access all intelligence and information.  A few days ago, the Navy's First Air Fleet commanded by Shen Honglie was performing a training mission in the northern waters of the Indian Ocean. On November 15, 1944, after the war between Turkey and Iran broke out, Shen Honglie received an order from the General Staff and immediately ended it.  During the training mission, he adjusted the course and mission of the fleet, led the fleet to the Hormuz Naval Base for reinforcements as quickly as possible, and arrived at the military port four hours in advance.  The First Air Fleet of the Chinese Navy arrived at the Hormuz Naval Base at six o'clock this morning. Since then, Shen Honglie has been staying in the base staff room almost all the time, understanding the situation from the staff on duty, and reading relevant documents and  Intelligence to understand the current development of the situation on the Iranian battlefield. Based on the current intelligence analysis, the German ground forces have officially intervened in this war, have occupied Tehran, and are rapidly advancing to the south, while the Iranian army is already in the southern region  Gum, the most important transportation hub city, has established defensive positions and is waiting for the German troops to come. At present, the Battle of Gum has not yet broken out, and the battlefield situation is basically calm. The German army is obviously busy consolidating the order of rule in the occupied areas, and the speed of its southward advance has been slowed down.  Slowly, but it is indeed not too far from Gum. Since last night, the city of Gum has begun to be violently bombed by the German Air Force.  The most important thing now is to send more air force fighter units to GUM, especially jet fighters. Various signs on the battlefield indicate that the German Air Force used a "considerable number" of jet combat aircraft in this war. If  Unsurprisingly, perhaps the Iranian battlefield will become the battlefield for the world's first jet war. Which one, German jets or Chinese jets, represents the correct design idea for future air combat? Perhaps it depends on the sky in the Iranian battlefield.  .  In order to project more air power to the battlefield, most of China's jet combat units in the Middle East have begun to gather in Iraq and Kuwait. Some combat units have been stationed at frontline airports and have gone into battle. In yesterday's air battle, China and Germany  There have been several small-scale air battles between the two air forces. According to the confirmed results so far, the Chinese Air Force has shot down at least twenty ME262 jet fighters and the same number of AR234 jet bombers, while the Chinese losses were only single digits.  The battle results have shown that in terms of performance, especially in terms of speed and range, the Chinese "Lightning" comprehensively suppresses the German Me262 "Swallow".  In addition to shooting down several confirmed models of German Air Force jet fighters, Chinese ground forces also discovered some new German-made jets that had never been seen before while searching for the wreckage of German fighter jets. At least two models were confirmed.  The shape of this model is quite weird. Like the "Lightning", it has only one jet engine.?However, this engine is not installed inside the fuselage, but on the back of the aircraft. It looks like the aircraft is carrying a big can. What is even more surprising is that the vertical tail of this jet is not one piece.  Instead, it has two pieces, in a "V" shape. This seems to be to make way for the airflow of the jet engine, but it may not have other design purposes. The shape of another unknown German jet model is slightly similar to the "Lightning", but vertically  The tail is "T" shaped, and the fuselage is shorter, which shows that its range is not as good as the "Lightning".  There are various signs that the German Air Force seems to intend to use the Iranian battlefield as a testing ground for its new weapons, and will put some new aircraft that have just been trial-produced into the front-line battlefield to test their performance. However, in the face of the "Lightning", these new jets  Machines are no match. The design concept of "Lightning" has been ahead of the times from the beginning.  However, the number of "Lightnings" is limited. Although China's local air force has begun to transfer some "Lightnings" from western bases to the west, the transition will take time, and it is impossible to transfer them all to the Iranian battlefield or the Middle East. After all, once the Asian Alliance  By collectively declaring war on Germany, the troops of China's Central Asian Military Region can launch rapid assaults directly from the northern coast of the Caspian Sea to the Volga and Don river basins, threatening the German back roads in the Caucasus. Jets are also needed on other battlefields.  For this reason, when the aircraft carriers "Nanhai" and "Donghai" arrived at the Hormuz Naval Base, they immediately allocated most of the jet fighters to the base in accordance with the orders of the General Staff, and assigned them to the required battlefields.  However, the tonnage of these two aircraft carriers is limited and they cannot carry too many jet fighters. Currently, the Chinese Air Force's jet force is still stretched over the Iranian battlefield. Fortunately, the quality of the aircraft is impeccable, which more or less makes up for the gap in quantity.  .  As for aircraft carriers without jets, they can now only cruise near military ports and rely on the protection of escort ships and mines to be stationed at bases. Considering that there are also some German submarines active in the Indian Ocean, it is not advisable for aircraft carriers to venture out to sea. Anti-submarine  Just leave the task to hunting submarines, destroyers and water patrol aircraft. The main force of the naval aviation force will currently focus their main attention on the land battlefield.  Since there is no need to command the aircraft carrier to go to sea, Shen Honglie has "free time" and sits in the base staff room to study the current war situation in Iran with the staff. At the same time, they are also paying attention to other directions. After all, Germany still controls North Africa.  region, especially eastern Egypt, which controls the Suez Canal and is far away from the Sinai Peninsula "managed" by the Asian League. If the German army wants to cross the Suez Canal and attack Asia, the Sinai Peninsula is the place it must pass through, and there can be no peace there.  This is indeed the case. Just yesterday afternoon, the German Air Force finally began to conduct tentative harassment of the Sinai Peninsula. This seemed to be "cooperating" with the holding of the Asian League plenary meeting. The Nazi German government may have intended to use this to demonstrate to the Asian League.  , but it may also be to test the strength of the Chinese Air Force in the Sinai Peninsula. After all, after the emergency in the Iranian battlefield, some of the Chinese Air Force's jet units stationed in the Sinai Peninsula were also transferred to the Iraqi Air Force base. The strength was somewhat affected. The intention of the German Air Force may be  Find out the details of the Asian League Jet Force in the Sinai Peninsula.  Just now, Shen Honglie had finished studying the situation in the Sinai Peninsula with his staff. Now, he turned his attention back to the direction of Turkey. According to the report of the Iraqi Air Force's reconnaissance aircraft, the Turkish army is still increasing its troops to its eastern border. It seems that it wants to  Continue to increase troops to the Iranian battlefield, but the possibility of launching an invasion of Iraq cannot be ruled out. After all, there are also territorial disputes between Iraq and Turkey, and Iraq¡¯s rich oil resources have always been Turkey¡¯s long-coveted prey.  There have been frequent conflicts on the border in the past few years, but the international situation at that time did not allow Turkey to take "decisive action."  "The Turkish Air Force does not have jets, so it is not an opponent worthy of attention. The key is the Turkish Army. Since the country's pro-German group launched a coup and came to power, it has copied the German army in its military system and not only established a force similar to the SS  At present, according to the estimates of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, the Turkish Army has at least one million standing troops, but we think this number is a bit exaggerated, but at the same time we also believe that the total strength of the Turkish Army is not enough.  There will be less than 500,000 people, which is a huge number. In comparison, Iran's more than 100,000 army and Iraq's 50,000 army pale in comparison. On the other hand, judging from the current reactions of various countries in the Middle East, except for  Iran and Iraq, two countries that are afraid of Turkey's invasion, have stated that they will do their best to assist the Asian Alliance in counterattack. Other Middle Eastern countries are still ambiguous. The analysis of the General Staff seems to be basically correct. Middle Eastern countries, especially  Those oil-exporting countries are half-hearted about the Asian Alliance. They want to be just outsiders, so they are not very nervous about Germany's attack on Iran. According to our analysis,These countries may have secretly made diplomatic contacts with Germany, or perhaps the Nazi German government had a commitment to them, which is why they have such an ambiguous attitude.  " The analysis of the chief of staff made Shen Honglie nod frequently. He agreed with the staff's opinion and also expressed his opinion. "In the early days of the war, don't expect these wallflowers to be very dedicated. As long as they can afford the military expenses, as for direct  It is better not to count on them to send troops. The ASEAN Security Council will not be unclear about this. Therefore, I think that in terms of the army, in addition to the Chinese ** troops, we can only rely on those Southeast Asian countries that are short of money. They send troops.  Countries in the Middle East are paying to stabilize the situation in Iran first.  " "Will the Central Committee directly launch a strategic counterattack from the Central Asia Military District?  "The chief of staff suddenly asked this question. This question is also a matter of concern to everyone. "The German army has heavy troop groups stationed in the Ural region. It is difficult to say what the situation will be in Central Asia in the early stages of the war. If the Asian League asks the German collective  Declaring war, it is difficult to guarantee that the German troops in the Ural region will not launch a preemptive attack. If I were to command the Central Asia Military District, I would take a safe stance and launch a defensive counterattack, but I don¡¯t know if the central government will think so.  I am a naval commander, and army operations are not my business.  " Having said this, Shen Honglie sighed helplessly. Now that the war is concentrated on land battlefields, he, a naval general, really has no place for heroes. After all, the main force of Germany's navy is in the Mediterranean and Atlantic battlefields. Although there are some in the Indian Ocean,  Submarines, but with the closure of the Suez Canal and the blockade of the Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, those German submarines hunting in the Indian Ocean may soon be forced to withdraw from the Indian Ocean battlefield. Unless Japan follows Germany and declares war on the Asian Alliance, otherwise, the Pacific and  The Indian Ocean will not become the main battlefield of the Chinese Navy. Shen Honglie very much hopes to command the fleet to fight in the Mediterranean battlefield or the Atlantic battlefield, but he also understands that under the current situation, this expectation is unrealistic, at least when it comes to controlling Egypt.  Previously, the Suez Canal channel was closed to the Chinese naval fleet. Moreover, whether the harsh sea conditions in the Atlantic Ocean are suitable for Chinese aircraft carrier operations is still a question. Shen Honglie once commanded an aircraft carrier to go to the Atlantic Ocean for training. He knew the conditions of the Atlantic Ocean very well.  Sea conditions, if the sea conditions there were good, Europeans would not regard the Pacific as the "Sea of ??Peace".
