The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2908 Black Tide 1

In the end, when the Crown Prince and his entourage returned to Berlin from Munich, everyone had mixed emotions. From a purely mission perspective, they completed the handover of command, and the Crown Prince also agreed to help Prussia obtain the goods from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. An advance base necessary for the attack. However, during the negotiations, the Crown Prince's prediction of the future situation in the Middle East was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. The victory that was originally thought to be within reach seemed to have gone far away, and the quagmire of war appeared in front of everyone. before. There are no solutions, but making a choice is a very tricky thing.

With the Kaiser's decision to use force to intervene in the situation in the Middle East, the game between the German Empire and the United States and Russia in the Middle East has entered a fever pitch. This is a crucial competition. All parties involved will do their best. The mobilization of a large number of German troops cannot be airtight. The High Seas Fleet The appearance of a large number of transport ships in the Mediterranean made the Americans aware of the coming storm. Although in Roosevelt's view, the German actions could be described as reckless or substandard, but when the German Empire's war machine was in operation, there was no People can ignore it!

Although there was a war going on in the Pacific at this time, from the perspective of the Americans, it could be described as calm. The U.S. submarine force appeared in the southern Philippines from time to time. They monitored the huge Japanese combined fleet and found that although this dormant sea beast was still Powerful but lacking in vitality, they huddled in the Port of Davao in the southern Philippines without any aggressiveness. It seemed that their previous continuous victories had frightened the Japanese.

At the same time, on the island of New Guinea, the U.S. Army fought with the Japanese Army in complex terrain and hot climate. Although the Japanese resisted tenaciously, they were still retreating under the attack of the superior U.S. Army. The U.S. Army and The navy began to build more and more strongholds on the island of New Guinea. They would gradually drive the Japanese completely away from the island.

The main force of the U.S. fleet is still repairing in Pearl Harbor and waiting for new warships to join. The Americans' idea is very simple. As long as the Japanese main fleet does not dispatch, the U.S. fleet will not dispatch. Anyway, there are a large number of pre-dreadnoughts and relatively complete airports on the front line. With the current strength of the Japanese fleet, it would probably take a lot of effort to chew it down. The best choice is to let the Japanese have a bloody blow to their defense system, and then the US fleet will take the opportunity to take them away. So the U.S. Navy is in no hurry.

Maybe someone has said, what if the Japanese fleet just sits in the Philippines and doesn't move? The Americans have naturally arranged the script. The wealthy Americans have decided to build a large military port on the island of New Guinea that can accommodate the main force of the entire American fleet! This military port will become the largest stronghold of the US Navy in the Eastern Pacific, and to some extent may even replace Pearl Harbor in the future! And when this port begins to take shape, the U.S. fleet will move forward as a whole, and eventually the muzzle of the U.S. Navy's guns will be on the forehead of the Japanese combined fleet! As for what happens next? That’s a step-by-step process! The Americans think their plan is perfect and are being implemented step by step!

So when it believed that the war situation in the Pacific had been stabilized, the U.S. government decisively invested a considerable part of its power in the Middle East. A large number of materials and military personnel entered Persia through various channels, and batches of Russian soldiers also entered Central Asia and The direction of the Caspian Sea entered Persia.

This situation even occurred before the outbreak of the war. In a Persian border town with only 2,000 people, more than 7,000 Russian officers and soldiers were stationed! After the end of the war, the largest land war is about to begin. If calculated purely from the perspective of the number of combatants, the scale of the war that is about to break out in the Middle East is no smaller than the scale of the U.S.-Japanese army showdown in the Pacific. !

"In a frontal battle, we are definitely not the opponent of the German elite army, but we can use various means to consume them, make them weak, and make them bleed! What we lose is just money, but what we gain in exchange is time and With the favorable situation in the Middle East, this is such a bargain." Looking at the intelligence sent from the Middle East, Roosevelt said very comfortably, he felt that he was about to reach the peak of his life! The so-called being elected president is nothing compared to this matter, because he seems to have finally defeated his old opponent for once! Moreover, the actions of the Americans have greatly delayed the development of the Germans!

However, what the Americans did not expect was that just when the American Bald Eagle turned its attention to the conflict between the United States and the United States, the Japanese, unwilling to fail, were planning the largest strategic offensive since the war began! As Crown Prince Ruprecht said, the main force of the Japanese combined fleet still exists and the rear is still stable. They have the ability to launch an offensive that changes the situation of the war!

"Is this all the fleet we can gather now?" Betty said looking at the fleet formation list in his hand.

"Yes, this is the entire fleet, especially the aircraft carrier squadron. All five fleet aircraft carriers have been put into battle. Among them, the Flying Eagle, the Falcon and the Flying Dragon are the three that participated in the battle of the Sulawesi Sea. An aircraft carrier, and the Ryujo, which was originally used to perform pilot training missions, has also returned to the combat sequence. In addition to the Chitose, which has completed improvements and received a new fleet, there are 5 ships in total." Shimamura Hayao said.

Among these aircraft carriers, the Japanese have also classified them. The most advanced ones are naturally the Flying Eagle, Hiryu and Chitose. These three aircraft carriers are all fleet aircraft carriers of more than 20,000 tons or close to 20,000 tons. The tonnage of the Hayabusa and Ryujo is around 16,000 tons, and their combat effectiveness is far behind the former two. These five aircraft carriers carry a total of 420 aircraft of various types. Betty's previous goal of carrying 450 aircraft was not achieved in the end, even though some of the 420 aircraft were carried in the form of parts!

"Compared with what we expected, it seems that we have one more battleship?" Looking at the battleship Calacciono that finally appeared in the battleship list, a smile appeared on Betty's lips. Originally, Betty only planned to bring 6 battleships, namely the Nagato-class battleships Nagato and Mutsu, and the Fuso-class battleships Fuso, Hyuga, Yamashiro, and Takaha. Several other battleships were damaged due to battle damage. It still needed repairs and debugging, but unexpectedly, the Italian Calagiono was actually completed! And we arrived in time. The efficiency of the Italians this time is really impressive! After all, even the British ship Fury has not been completed yet! This result is very abnormal!
