Chapter 313 Aircraft Carrier Formation
Chapter 313: Aircraft Carrier Formation
"General, follow our agreement and you want to provide technical information on communication equipment." Churchill did not expect Hu Yunfeng's revenge to come so quickly.
According to the agreement, the walkie-talkie was the only thing that Britain got from Hu Yunfeng for war purposes, and the others were Hu Yunfeng's promise. Although Hu Yunfeng had fulfilled his promise to help Britain retreat from Dunkirk to Britain and France than the coalition forces, Hu Yunfeng's promise to let Germany attack the Soviet Union and lead the war to the east is much more difficult than helping Britain retreat the coalition forces. Churchill believed that Hu Yunfeng had a huge influence on Hitler, but it was still unknown whether Hu Yunfeng could finally realize this promise. Britain paid a huge price, and Hu Yunfeng also had to keep the technical information for the only practical thing provided by Hu Yunfeng, so that Britain could study it himself. Churchill certainly would not agree.
Churchill was unwilling to do so. Hu Yunfeng also imitated Churchill’s previous appearance, saying: “Mr. Prime Minister, of course I will provide technical information to the UK, but now I am in Europe, where will I get technical information for you? In order to make this advanced communication equipment serve the UK to resist the German military offensive, I went to a lot of trouble to bring one to the UK from the German army. Of course, if the UK is unwilling to ask for it, I can take some time to wait.”
"Okay." Churchill also knew the character of Hu Yunfeng. His personality was the same as his military identity. He was a tough guy who would never surrender and was stubborn. Moreover, this guy was a damn guy who would have to avenge his revenge. Churchill dared not continue to fight Hu Yunfeng anymore. Maybe this guy would lose his brain and provide British research equipment.
Churchill was not a person who surrendered easily, but in front of reality, Britain needed Hu Yunfeng to bring Germany's attention to the East and allow Germany to attack the Soviet Union to reduce the pressure on Britain. At the same time, Hu Yunfeng also needed to prevent Hitler from launching a plan to land on Britain.
Similarly, Hu Yunfeng also knew that to let Churchill and Britain understand that being an enemy with him was a very dangerous move, Churchill and Britain must benefit Churchill and Britain little by little, so that Churchill knew that his energy was enough to help Britain resist Germany's attack.
Hu Yunfeng said: "Mr. Prime Minister, I have successfully convinced Hitler to give up his plan to land in the UK."
"General, please tell me again." Churchill quickly put out the cigar, stood up and walked to Hu Yunfeng and said excitedly.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I have convinced Hitler to give up his plan to land in the UK." Hu Yunfeng repeated it once, and asked Churchill to sit down and pick up his pen and paper, and told Churchill the "Sea Lion Plan" that Germany had abandoned.
When Churchill finished recording, Hu Yunfeng warned: "Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you and the UK will seriously implement our agreement from today. You should understand that I can convince Hitler to give up the 'Sea Lion Plan' and also allow him to re-form a plan to land on the UK. I don't want this to happen, but it depends on whether you and the UK comply with our agreement."
Hu Yunfeng told Churchill that the "Sea Lion Plan" was very detailed. Churchill once again read the "Sea Lion Plan" he recorded from beginning to end. This should not have been fabricated by this guy. Churchill thought to himself after reading it. He believed it seven points, but did not fully believe that Germany had this plan, and he needed to let the British intelligence department confirm it.
Churchill looked up and said with a bright smile: "General, please rest assured that I am like you, and I am also a person who keeps my promises. The United Kingdom is also a country that attaches importance to the promises. You know that I have some difficulties with the United Kingdom. Please understand that on behalf of the United Kingdom, I promise you again that the United Kingdom will implement the agreement immediately, and temporarily give up the arming of the Polish, the Netherlands and the French, and give priority to the Chinese refugees who are about to take refuge in Australia."
Hu Yunfeng nodded and said, "Armed Chinese refugees are not all for me, but also for Britain and Australia. According to my information, the Japanese also have plans to attack Britain's colonies in Asia. This is an agreement signed between Germany and Japan, and the Japanese will prevent Britain from obtaining resources from Asian colonies. Therefore, in order to speed up the transportation of Chinese refugees to Australia to form an army, I think the British fleet and merchant ships in Asia need to fully participate in the plan to immigrate to Chinese refugees to Australia."
Japan is now deeply trapped in China, threatened by the Soviet Union in the north, and Asian fleets of the United States and Britain in the Pacific to the west and south. Churchill did not believe what Hu Yunfeng said. He believed that Hu Yunfeng wanted to use the British Asian fleet and merchant ships to immigrate to Chinese refugees to Australia. But Hu Yunfeng proposed it, and Churchill did not intend to bargain with Hu Yunfeng. He decided to do good things to the end in exchange for Hu Yunfeng's sincere cooperation with the United Kingdom. Churchill readily agreed to Hu Yunfeng's request.
Churchill was secretly thinking after obtaining Germany's "Sea Lion Plan". Since Germany did not land in Britain from sea, where would Germany attack Britain? Churchill firmly believed that the German Navy would not be the opponent of the British Navy, and the only direction of Germany's attack came from the air.
Thinking of the sudden attack by Germany, which successfully used large-scale airborne operations in the Netherlands and Belgium, caught the Netherlands and Belgium off guard, and caught the United Kingdom off guard. Is Germany going to implement airborne on Britain? Churchill is worried.
London is within the range of the attack of the Luftwaffe. Germany is likely to take action to suddenly land in London. Churchill looked at Hu Yunfeng and asked: "General, since you convinced Hitler to stop sending the German army to land directly in Britain from the sea, where will Germany attack Britain?"
Hu Yunfeng said: "The British Navy is much stronger than the German Navy, and the German Navy cannot defeat the British Navy. Then only..."
Seeing Hu Yunfeng pointing to the sky, Churchill thought his judgment was correct, and he continued: "Germany will use airborne to occupy London."
Oh, so that's what you think, let's think that the German army will take airborne. Hu Yunfeng smiled secretly and did not deny it or was sure.
"Do you have information on the specific action time for the German army to take?" Churchill asked anxiously.
Hu Yunfeng shook his head and said regretfully: "This plan is said to be the responsibility of the German Air Force. You know that I am not dealing with that boy Gorene, the German commander, and I have not received any information on this aspect yet."
Churchill nodded and expressed his confidence. Hu Yunfeng said again: "Don't worry, Goering's plan will always be submitted to Hitler for approval. As long as he presents the plan to Hitler, I will get specific information and I will notify you as soon as possible. Of course, London must be prepared to prevent the German army from airborne from now on."
"Thank you, General, I will let the army deploy immediately." Churchill said gratefully.
"Okay, Mr. Prime Minister, if there is any latest information, I will notify you immediately. Please prepare for me to accept the aircraft carrier and French warships and ships in three days." Hu Yunfeng stood up with a smile and reached out to say goodbye to remind Churchill.
Churchill also stretched out his hand and reminded: "General, I will send someone to the hotel to get the walkie-talkie."
"Of course." Hu Yunfeng agreed to leave with Lin Xinxin.
When Hu Yunfeng and Lin Xinxin returned to the hotel, the people who sent Churchill to pick up the walkie-phone were already waiting. Hu Yunfeng asked Qi Yanming to bring them a walkie-phone he carried with him and said to Lin Xinxin: "Send a newspaper to Jiang Baili and Cao Yuanzheng and ask how long it will take for the naval personnel sent from the United States to arrive in the UK."
Aircraft carriers, finally there will be an aircraft carrier. Hu Yunfeng is very excited. Two new aircraft carriers from the United States will be available next year. With this aircraft carrier from the United Kingdom, the Soviet port will have three aircraft carriers. Hehe, in addition to the United States, Britain, Japan, the Soviet port is the fourth most aircraft carrier in the world. Britain also needs to help build one. In the short term, there will be four aircraft carriers, and the training of personnel must be accelerated. Hu Yunfeng was proud and thought to himself.
Although the Soviet Port is about to have an aircraft carrier, Hu Yunfeng is still very clear-headed that his aircraft carrier and the beating fleet can only scare people. His combat effectiveness may be even worse than that of the countries that were destroyed by the Japanese, let alone compete with Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.
"Yunfeng, Jiang Baili and Cao Yuanzheng have returned the call, and the personnel will arrive around noon the day after tomorrow." Lin Xinxin handed the call from Jiang Baili and Cao Yuanzheng to Hu Yunfeng.
After reading the telegram, Hu Yunfeng said, "Order them to select a group of people to come to Britain to study the navy. Telegram your father and ask him to go to Yunnan immediately, Guangxi recruits 50,000 to 100,000 people familiar with the jungle environment, especially ethnic minority soldiers."
While Hu Yunfeng was waiting for the arrival of the US Navy personnel to learn from the Navy, Churchill sent someone to the hotel the next day, hoping that Hu Yunfeng would give up asking for the Ark Royal aircraft carrier and replace it with a new aircraft carrier that had only been launched for more than four months. Churchill gave the reason that the Ark Royal aircraft carrier can carry 78 aircraft, and the Ark Royal aircraft carrier can only carry 36 combat aircraft. Now Britain needs to maintain the advantage of combat aircraft at sea over Germany.
Churchill was afraid that Hu Yunfeng would disagree, so he specifically stated that although the "Glorious" class aircraft carrier has few aircraft carriers, its displacement is similar to the "Ark Royal". It is also a new aircraft carrier, which uses an armored flight deck to withstand the attack of 450 kilograms of bombs. The unique armored flight deck design of the "Glorious" class aircraft carrier provides it with strong survivability. In order to improve air defense capabilities, the Glorious class aircraft carrier has two 114mm anti-aircraft gun turrets at each corner of the edge of the flight deck. It is equipped with a 79z air defense radar, which can perform combat missions at night.
Hu Yunfeng, the British "Glorious" class and "Ark Royal" aircraft carrier, actually, the armored flight deck design of the "Glorious" class aircraft carrier is the direction of the future aircraft carrier. Hu Yunfeng also thought about whether to have a large number of aircraft or strong survivability at sea. Hu Yunfeng made repeated choices, but he chose to have more aircraft to fight.
Now Churchill has made a reason, and Hu Yunfeng does not want to force Churchill too much. Hu Yunfeng proposed that Britain train 10,000 naval personnel for him for free. He also sent technicians to learn aircraft carrier manufacturing technology for another aircraft carrier manufacturing technology. The UK must unreservedly teach all aircraft carrier construction technology professors to the personnel sent by him, and he can agree to Churchill's request.
Since getting in contact with Hu Yunfeng, Hu Yunfeng has rarely compromised in front of Churchill. Churchill believes that Hu Yunfeng’s requirements are not high, so he agreed to Hu Yunfeng’s requirements.
Hu Yunfeng and Churchill reached a new agreement, and the British Navy also actively prepared for the handover of the aircraft carrier. For the British Navy, the "Guanghui" class aircraft carrier was not satisfied with the construction of the "Guanghui" class aircraft carrier, and in the past few months, the "Guanghui" class aircraft carrier has been fiercely criticized by the country because of too few carrier-based aircraft. The UK is trying to improve and increase the carrier-based aircraft of the "Guanghui" class aircraft carrier. Therefore, giving the "Guanghui" class aircraft carrier that had just been launched to Hu Yunfeng can not only reduce the scolding, but also replace the "Ark Royal" with twice the number of carrier-based aircraft. For Hu Yunfeng to train naval personnel and train aircraft carrier design and construction personnel, Churchill and the British government regard it as the beginning of pulling Hu Yunfeng into their camp.
After getting the walkie-talkie from Hu Yunfeng, the British and *** side immediately conducted a test. They keenly discovered that the walkie-talkie provided by Hu Yunfeng would be an important equipment to change the command of the army. How many new equipment in Germany still has? Only Hu Yunfeng, who could have a huge impact on Hitler, knew that in order to obtain more new German equipment, Churchill and the British side immediately formulated a plan to completely pull Hu Yunfeng into the British camp. They hoped to sign a treaty for intelligence and technology sharing with Hu Yunfeng. In this way, in the long run, the UK would not have to pay too much money to obtain important strategic intelligence and German new technical equipment from Hu Yunfeng. Therefore, we can understand why Churchill proposed to Hu Yunfeng to train naval personnel and aircraft carrier designs for free, and the construction personnel would not bargain.
Hu Yunfeng could not know Churchill's plan, but he knew and didn't know that there was no difference between Hu Yunfeng. Hu Yunfeng's deal with Britain, the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union depended on his needs, and for his interests, he would betray them to their opponents at any time.
The aircraft carrier handed over to Hu Yunfeng by Britain was the "Indomitable" of the Guanghui class. The two sides agreed to hand over at the Port of Nes in northern Britain. At the same time, there was a French battleship, a battle cruiser, two cruisers, seven destroyers, and 47 medium and large transport ships. Hu Yunfeng did not do too much and agreed to Churchill leave dozens of small ships and transport ships for the French government.
On June 21, 1940, the naval personnel from the United States arrived in the United Kingdom for a day and a half rested, and finally saw the aircraft carriers, warships and transport ships anchored at Nes Port. After training in the United States for two years, they were finally able to board the aircraft carrier warship belonging to the Soviet Port. Of course, they still felt a little regretful. Hu Yunfeng did not allow the aircraft carrier to change, the British navy and French navy logos and paints on the warship, nor did he allow the flags of Britain and France to be removed.
However, they will soon understand why Hu Yunfeng did this. Hu Yunfeng did this because he had no time to change the aircraft carrier and the British and French logos and paints on the warships. The second is to confuse the French navy on Martinique, seize 2,300 tons of gold on the island, and disarm the French navy on Martinique.
The small regret did not affect the excitement of the naval personnel in the Soviet port. Of course, the naval personnel in the Soviet port were happy, so naturally the French naval personnel who were forced by Britain to hand over the warship to the Chinese. The personnel of the British "Indomitable" aircraft carrier were not as unlucky as the French. They also had to stay on the aircraft carrier to help and teach the naval personnel in the Soviet port to operate the aircraft carrier. At the same time, Hu Yunfeng also promised them that after teaching the procedures for operating the aircraft carrier to the naval personnel in the Soviet port, they would receive generous rewards. Of course, Hu Yunfeng also promised the French naval personnel, but France was occupied by Germany, and now he was forced by the British government to hand over the warship to the Chinese. No matter how much money Hu Yunfeng promised, it would not make the French feel happy at all.
Regardless of whether the British and French naval personnel were happy, it was impossible to change the fact that the aircraft carriers and warships were handed over to the navy in the Soviet port. Without any handover ceremony, the naval personnel in the Soviet port and the naval personnel from Britain and France silently handed over.
It took only half a day to complete all the handover. Hu Yunfeng immediately ordered the familiarization training and ordered the transport ship to the port of Amsterdam.
When the naval personnel in the Soviet port were familiar with the training, Hu Yunfeng also returned to London from Nes Port to name the aircraft carrier and warship. The special forces members expressed their opinions one after another. Almost everyone believed that since the mother of the ship was the overlord of the sea, the first mother of the ship would be named after Hu Yunfeng and named it "Yunfeng". But it was quickly rejected by Hu Yunfeng.
Hu Yunfeng thought he was still alive. If the aircraft carrier was sunk, it did not mean that he was killed. If he really wanted to use a person as the command, he would have to order a dead person. Anyway, everyone was dead, and it didn't matter if he was sunk. He decided to name it by the first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. Therefore, the British "Indomitable" aircraft carrier was named "Wing Zheng" by Hu Yunfeng. Originally, Hu Yunfeng wanted to be the "Shihuang", but "Shi" and "Death" were homophonic. Hu Yunfeng did not believe in superstition in his heart, but who would be sure that there were no gods and ghosts when he traveled to this era? Therefore, Hu Yunfeng decided to ward off evil spirits for the first aircraft carrier and named it "Wing Zheng".
As for one battleship, one battleship, two cruisers and 11 destroyers in France, he chose the generals in Chinese history to name them. Of course, those cowardly emperors and waste generals in Chinese history are not among the names of Hu Yunfeng.
After the name was chosen, the Soviet port officially had a navy and the first aircraft carrier formation. Although it was pieced together, the number of aircraft carrier formation ships could still be fooled.
