Tianhuang has not yet expressed its position. On the Hans side, Principal Jiang’s representatives have finally arrived in Hans after going through untold hardships.
However, when Principal Jiang’s representatives arrived in Berlin, they were empty-handed. Mainz was not in the capital, but went to North Schleswig.
The German navy had already left Kiel Port and the Baltic Sea, arrived in the North Sea, and was heading towards the Norwegian coast.
This was a fishing operation. The two battleship formations led by the Bismarck and Tirpitz were showing off their power off the Norwegian coast. Their initiative to expose their positions was to attract the attention of the Sun Never Sets, so as to draw out the Royal Navy stationed in Scapa Flow.
This operation was named Operation Sea Snake. The two German battleship formations acted as bait to lure the snake out of the hole. The
Joint Air Strike Battle Group composed of two Midway-class aircraft carriers was the main force of this battle. They were responsible for annihilating the enemies that were attracted out!
This battle was the first large-scale battle of the German Navy since the war began. Its success or failure was of great significance to Hans and the whole of Europe!
Everyone knows that the Royal Navy, whose sun never sets, is invincible. No one is their opponent except the rapidly rising Eagle Sauce Navy in North America.
In Europe, the Royal Navy has dominated for hundreds of years. All European countries with coastlines have been threatened by the military force of the sun never sets.
Therefore, when Hans tried to win over European countries, he had to solve a problem: the navy that never sets threatened the security of Hans and European countries from the sea!
To solve this problem, it is not advisable to build forts and deploy heavy troops in coastal areas, because the cost is too high and it will consume a large number of troops. At that time, Hans’ finances will not be able to support the maintenance of these forts and these soldiers!
Therefore, the only way to completely solve the threat of the sun never sets is to form a powerful navy of its own, use its own navy to fight back against the navy that never sets, and thus seize the sea control at sea!
Mainz is confident that the German army can defeat the navy that never sets!
The reason is very simple. Starting from the Pacific War, even though the Eagle Sauce was attacked by the Foot Basin and lost almost all the battleships of the Pacific Fleet, it still won the final victory of the Pacific War!
And the magic weapon for their victory is the strong industrial strength of their country!
As long as they build battleships faster than the Foot Basin sinks their own warships, then this Eagle Sauce will definitely crush the Foot Basin with numbers in the end!
And in fact, they did it!
Hans was originally the largest industrial country in Europe. At this time, they integrated the industries of Benelux, Czech and Poland, and their industrial strength was further enhanced.
Moreover, Hans also has control over the Baltic Sea. As long as they take down Fairy Tale Country and Norway, they can completely block the outlet of the Baltic Sea.
At that time, the German army can completely train troops in the Baltic Sea. When they build a powerful fleet with their strong industrial strength, they can go out to sea to fight the Royal Navy to the death!
Even if they are unlucky and lose the war, it doesn’t matter. With Hans’s strong industrial strength, they can afford it. At most, they can continue to create another fleet behind closed doors! On the other hand
, although their local industry is ranked in the top three in the world, compared with Hans, which has integrated most of Europe, the gap is really a bit big!
If the industrial strength of the sun can be 50 points at this time, then Hans’s industrial strength is at least three times that of the opponent.
With three times the industrial strength, Hans’s warships are built three times faster than the sun, and the replenishment speed of the warships of both sides is three times different.
Once the Royal Navy is sunk by a warship, it must sink three Hans’ warships to maintain balance.
Otherwise, even if they are one for two, they will lose, and in the end they will be crushed by Hans’s strong industrial strength!
Therefore, Hans will definitely have the last laugh in the end of this war. Mainz is convinced of this.
However, the navy was expensive, and Mainz had limited time. He wanted to quickly deal with the British Empire, and then free up his hands to deal with the bear in the east.
At this time, the Western European side was in constant artillery fire, but the bear was quiet and nothing happened. This was not a good thing for Hans, because the bear would definitely take advantage of this period of time to madly enhance its own strength, so that when facing Hans, it would have the strength to fight, so as not to be destroyed like Gaul!
Hans’s victory over Gaul greatly shocked the bear, and made Starlin feel unprecedented pressure. Therefore, on the one hand, he was actively developing his country’s heavy industry, especially the military industry, and on the other hand, he was stepping up internal mobilization in order to form more troops before the war!
In Starlin’s view, Hans’s victory over Gaul was actually very lucky. If Gaul had enough troops to fill the front line at that time and did not give the German army the opportunity to break out of the Ardennes Forest, even if Gaul eventually failed in the Gallic Campaign, it would not be so bad!
Therefore, Starling, who thought he had learned the lessons of the Gallic War, embarked on the road of crazy military expansion.
In his opinion, as long as the Soviet army can cover the front line, Hans will inevitably hit the Soviet iron plate no matter from which direction he launches the attack. At that time, they will not be able to find an opportunity, and naturally they will not be able to practice the blitzkrieg tactics!
To be honest, Mainz couldn’t say whether this tactic of cracking the blitzkrieg would work. After all, we can only know after the battle, so now he and Starling don’t know whether Starling’s arrangement is useful.
But no matter whether this method works or not, Starling and the bear are preparing for war frantically, and this alone can make Mainz feel uneasy!
When Hans attacked Poland, Poland was resisting the Soviet army head-on, so it was not prepared for Hans, and was caught off guard by Hans.
When attacking Gaul, the German army used a tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, which made Gaul focus on the Benelux and other places, thus exposing a huge flaw to the German army, which led to a great defeat!
And whether the German army can achieve such unexpected results in the future attack on the Soviet Union is hard to say! The reason why Operation Barbarossa was so successful in history was entirely because the German attack was unexpected, leaving the Soviet army unprepared, which led to heavy losses at the beginning of the war and then lost the ability to resist.
At this time, the Soviet Union was prepared and was still desperately expanding its military to prepare for war. This made Mainz understand that things in Western Europe could not be delayed!
