: 0.030s Scan: 0.023sThe fact that the Eagle Sauce declared war on the Empire was both reasonable and unexpected.
Mainz knew from the beginning to the end that Hans and the Eagle Sauce would have a war sooner or later, which was inevitable! The
Eagle Sauce was very ambitious, they wanted to replace the British Empire and become the world hegemon, and Hans’s ambition was equally great, the Third Reich wanted to dominate Europe and Asia!
One world cannot accommodate two hegemons, so when two countries are looking forward to becoming the world hegemon, conflicts will inevitably break out between them, and such conflicts, if not effectively resolved, will inevitably lead to war!
After World War II, the two major powers in the world, the Eagle Sauce and the Bear, fell into such a dilemma. Both countries were very powerful and eager to obtain the status of world hegemony, so the two countries adopted all means except hot war to compete for hegemony!
If it were not for the birth of nuclear weapons, which caused the two countries to not dare to go to war with each other, the war between them would probably have started long ago!
However, there were no nuclear weapons in the world at that time, so the only way for countries to compete for hegemony was through war. As long as they defeated the other side, hegemony would naturally come to them!
“Recall the main force of the naval fleet immediately, let the Gaul navy enter the Mediterranean to take over the war situation, ensure the safety of Rommel’s logistical supplies, and the Empire’s navy will immediately march to the Azores, and must occupy it before the Eagle Sauce’s navy arrives!”
The Eagle Sauce’s declaration of war was very sudden.
The Third Reich’s navy was still in the Mediterranean at this time.
They had just completed the encirclement of the British Mediterranean Fleet and had not had time to return to their homeland.
As a result, the Eagle Sauce declared war on Hans, which forced Hans to fight continuously.
In order to seize the advantageous position in the Atlantic, they must take the Azores.
Otherwise, once the Eagle Sauce’s navy controls here, the Eagle Sauce will be able to gain a foothold in the middle of the Atlantic, and they will be able to greatly reduce the distance with the European mainland!
In this way, the Eagle Sauce’s navy will be able to pose a direct threat to Hans’ homeland!
The strength of the Eagle Sauce Navy has surpassed the British Navy at this time, and unlike the British Navy, after seeing the powerful capabilities of the aircraft carrier, the Eagle Sauce immediately began to focus on the development Aircraft carriers.
At this time, the Eagles had even more aircraft carriers than Hans.
In addition to the two treaty aircraft carriers Lexington and Saratoga, they also had 4 other aircraft carriers of various models, which expanded the total number of aircraft carriers of the Eagle Navy to 6!
Aircraft carriers are the main force of the navy in naval battles at this time. The fact that the British army has so many aircraft carriers means that they pose a huge threat to the German army in naval battles, which is not good news for the German army.
In a war with the Eagles, the army is not the key, the navy is the key!
If the opponent can be defeated at sea, then the German army can prevent the Eagle Army from threatening the European mainland. They can even threaten the mainland little by little through island-grabbing tactics!
The telegram was quickly sent to the hands of Navy Commander Dönitz. After receiving the telegram, Dönitz did not dare to neglect it. He knew very well that this The seriousness of the matter.
The Eagle Sauce is different from the British Empire. They are farther away from Europe, their land area is larger, their population is larger, and their industrial strength is stronger. Such an enemy is difficult to defeat directly. The German army does not currently have the ability to cross the Atlantic Ocean and directly attack the Eagle Sauce homeland!
After all, the distance from the Third Reich homeland to the Eagle Sauce is as much as six or seven thousand kilometers. With such a long distance, most of the German landing ships may not be able to reach it. Even if they do, their carrying capacity is limited. It takes more than half a month to make a trip. By the time they transport the second batch of troops up, I am afraid that the first batch of troops will have been wiped out by the enemy!
Therefore, for the Eagle Sauce, they are almost in danger of being invaded by foreign enemies, unless the enemy launches an attack on them from land. Otherwise, from The attack was launched at sea, and the enemy had been dragged to death by their own logistics before they could even come!
To defeat such a powerful country, it is definitely not a matter of one day or one night. The two sides need to go through many battles, force the opponent’s strength back little by little, push the German army’s foothold forward, and then launch an attack after obtaining a foothold at the doorstep of the Eagle Sauce.
This tactic was used by the Eagle Sauce against the Foot Basin People in World War II.
The Eagle Sauce fought from Midway Island to the doorstep of the Foot Basin People little by little, and then built an airport on the island at their doorstep, using these airports to take off and land large strategic bombers to bombard the Foot Basin mainland.
In the end, they still felt that the bombing was not enough, and even carried out a nuclear bomb attack on the Foot Basin mainland, dropping two atomic bombs, causing heavy casualties and forced to surrender!
Hans’s nuclear bomb is now on the road to development. If all goes well, it may not take a few years to produce nuclear bombs that can be used in actual combat. So before that, they only need to move forward little by little, towards the Eagle Sauce’s homeland. After all, it is enough to create a good environment for the Air Force to allow them to air strike the Eagle Sauce homeland!
The Azores is one of the candidate bases!
The Azores are very close to Europe, only 1,600 kilometers from Western Europe, about 3,400 kilometers from North America, and only 3,800 kilometers from the Eagle Sauce homeland!
The B-29 that takes off from here, if refueled in the air, can threaten the Eagle Sauce homeland. Of course, for a big country like the Eagle Sauce, the bomb load of the B-29 is too small. The original B-29 can only carry 9 tons of bombs. Even the modified B-29 can only carry 12 tons of bombs, which is too different from strategic bombers such as the B-2 and B-36.
Therefore, if you want to pose a huge threat to the Eagle Sauce homeland, you must further speed up the development of large-scale long-range strategic bombers. The German army needs to be equipped with strategic bombing that can carry at least 30 tons of bombs, fly more than 10,000 kilometers, and have a combat radius of more than 6,000 kilometers!
Moreover, in order to increase the efficiency of bombing as much as possible, the German navy must push the front line forward, preferably to the doorstep of the Eagle Sauce, and then build an airport at their doorstep. In this way, the bomber’s round-trip bombing range will be greatly shortened, and their bombing efficiency will be higher. They can even take off several times a day and bomb the Eagle Sauce homeland many times!
Historically, the Eagle Sauce used strategic bombing as a means to destroy the resistance of the Third Reich. After the second half of 1943, the main industrial cities in the Third Reich were almost all bombed. Large-scale strategic bombing turned cities into ruins one by one, and along with these cities, Hans’ military factories in various places were destroyed.
Without the production capacity of these factories, the German army’s weapons and equipment began to gradually fail to supply, which completely collapsed and eventually went to extinction!
