"With these anti-submarine technology and equipment, do we still need to fear the German submarine force?"

But even so, Yang Fan's meticulously prepared anise was still extremely persuasive and lethal, and soon shocked the British and American generals in a room.

The shipboard radar system and the anti-submarine hedgehog gun are nothing more than a generation more advanced than the similar products currently in service in the UK.

Even Cunningham and others are still shocked by this.But at any rate, they have already equipped these technical equipment, which is a bit of a trick, but it is different for the sonar buoy that turned out to be out of the sky.

The British Navy does not have such a thing at all. Although the United States has begun to study passive non-directional sonobuoys, it is only in its infancy, and it will be at least a year before the successful development and official use.

However, Yang Fan made a big move at this time, and directly brought out the passive non-directional sonobuoy. Not only the British were shocked, but even the Americans were very confused.

The most ideal state of anti-submarine is to destroy the opponent's submarine on the sea or in the port, but unfortunately this is almost impossible.

Dealing with submarines hidden in the water is the last thing anti-submarine troops want to do. How difficult is it to find them in the vast sea?In order to discover submarines, launching sonar buoys is an important means.

Sonobuoys consist of a small radio transmitter that floats on the surface of the sea and a hydrophone that hangs below on a long wire.

The hydrophone can listen to various sounds in the surrounding water, and then transmit them to the surface transmitter, and the aircraft can receive the signal from the transmitter with a special receiver.

When the sonobuoy is quickly dropped into the water by the aircraft, the hydrophone is separated from the container at the bottom of the buoy, and there is a cable up to 24 meters between the hydrophone and the buoy.

When the buoy falls into the water, the impact with the water surface makes the circuit connected, and after a short period of warm-up, the transmitter starts to emit the sound received by the hydrophone.

Sonobuoys can be divided into "directional" and "non-directional". Among them, "non-directional" sonar buoys belong to the medium and long-distance early warning system and provide anti-submarine early warning reports.

The "directional" sonar buoy is a close-range precision monitoring and alarm system that can help precision strikes.

In the original history, the United States first developed the AN/CRT-1942 passive non-directional sonobuoy in 1, and then equipped the anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the United States and the United Kingdom.

Directional sonar buoys did not appear until the 20s.

At present, the non-directional sonar buoy is unlocked in the Yangfan system mall, and the listening distance can reach 18 kilometers, which can be regarded as an epoch-making product.

The most important cargo of an anti-submarine aircraft is the sonobuoy, a disposable consumable that can be replenished by the sonobuoy. After being thrown into the sea, it will sink to the bottom of the sea and lose its function.

Therefore, when the anti-submarine aircraft is on a mission, there must be enough sonar buoys in the fuselage.

However, it is not so easy to find enemy submarines in the vast sea, and often nothing is found after a lot of sonar buoys are scattered.

I have to say that although anti-submarine use of sonobuoys is very effective, it is really expensive.

However, as long as the safety of the fleet can be guaranteed and the German submarine force can be effectively eliminated, it is worthwhile even if it costs money.

"Very well, then such a happy decision! Next, let's discuss another topic."

After some seesaw-style "friendly consultations", Yang Fan finally settled the matter of the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet according to the script he had written.

Not only reached a consensus with Cunningham and other British naval generals, but also obtained the command of the Sino-British joint fleet, and formed a series of Sino-British naval cooperation matters.

According to the agreement, the Huben Navy led by Liu Qiang will be mixed with the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet to form the Sino-British Mediterranean Joint Fleet.

After all, the United Kingdom is an old maritime power, and its navy size and combat capability can be said to be among the best in the world. Compared with them, the Huben Navy is not at the same level at this stage.

At this time, I should be humble and humble. I must sink my mind to learn from the British Navy, improve myself as soon as possible from actual combat, and transform into a powerful naval force as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if the little devils are beaten all over the place in China, there is no way to pose a fatal threat to the Japanese mainland. At that time, they can only sigh.

There are not many opportunities to steal a teacher to learn skills like this, so you have to firmly grasp it!

The meeting has been going on for more than two hours, and Yang Fan has no interest in brainstorming any more, but directly throws out his thoughts in a simple and rude way:

"Regarding this issue, my decision is to let Alexander lead more than 18 troops under the 20th Army Group to support the Soviet Caucasus Front Army.

If you have any opinions, you can bring them up for discussion now. If you don’t have any opinions, then it’s decided! "

"I object!"

As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, Alexander himself was the first to jump out and object:

"I admit that the strategic position of the Caucasus region is very important, but General Yang Fan, you have transferred all members of the 18th Army Group to the rear for support. Do you know what this means?"

Chapter 1314

Without waiting for Yang Fan to answer, Alexander went on to say: "The division of more than 20 troops at once means that the total strength of the Allied forces in the North African theater has returned to more than 60.

However, the total strength of Rommel's African Army against it is still as high as more than 120 million, nearly twice its own strength.

At present, the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Empire has suffered heavy losses, and there is no way to compete with the Italian Navy in a short period of time. After a great supply of supplies, the Rommel Army will definitely launch a strong attack on us.

I really want to know, in this case, with such a disparity in strength, can we withstand it even with extreme defense? "

"Yeah! If our place collapses and the Suez Canal is lost, what's the point of saving the Caucasus?"

"This matter really needs to be cautious, and you can't lose sight of the other!"

Alexander's words attracted everyone's nods, and they all had the same concerns.

Everyone knows that after the outbreak of World War II, under the frenzied blitz attack of the German army, the Soviet Union was defeated and lost its vast territory, and it was almost out of breath and was wiped out directly.

Under such circumstances, in order to allow the Soviet Union to survive and continue to resist German aggression, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union worked together to overthrow the pro-German regime in Iran, and took advantage of the situation to support a pro-British puppet regime.

Only then did the Persian Gulf supply line from West Asia to Central Asia to the hinterland of the Soviet Union be opened up. It is precisely because of this supply line and the continuous blood transfusion of the North Atlantic route that the Soviet Union has been able to persist until now.

But now, for the Soviet Union, not only the oil fields in the Transcaucasus will face a direct military threat from the German-Turkish coalition forces, but the supply line in the Persian Gulf will be fatally threatened and will be cut off soon.

Although Yang Fan can use the North Atlantic supply line to transfuse the Soviet Union, the best supply line for Stalingrad and other southern regions is the Persian Gulf supply line.

Because it is the fastest way to get supplies from here, there is no need to carry the German bombers through long transportation for turnaround transportation.

If there is no supply line in the Persian Gulf, it is equivalent to a major artery being cut off, and the Soviet Union will really suffer in this severe winter.

Therefore, the strategic position of the Caucasus Mountains is very important, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

Otherwise, not only will the vacillating Turkey make up its mind to join the Axis Alliance, but it will also cut off the Allied forces in the North African theater, resulting in a series of catastrophic chain reactions.

As a result, Yang Fan made up his mind early on to send a heavy army to support to ensure the safety of the Caucasus region.

But as soon as this idea was thrown out, it was resisted and questioned by everyone.

"Everyone's concerns are not unreasonable, but what I want to say is that although our current defense zone is on a plain, there are still natural dangers that can be used."

Facing everyone's doubts, Yang Fan didn't panic at all, stood up, walked to the map and said with a smile:

"The first is the Nile River. This long river can completely stop the German armored group for us. Hold our southwestern defense line."

"Secondly, the Allies only need to dig an artificial river in the south of Cairo, or trenches of sufficient size can also ensure that the German armored groups are kept out of the city."

"In this way, the contest between the Allied forces and the German army in the North African battlefield will evolve into a decisive victory in the air, and the air force is the only service in which the Allied forces have a big advantage over the Axis forces or the German army."

"As long as the Allied Air Force can firmly control the air supremacy of the North African and Asian battlefields, the German army will never be able to build a pontoon bridge on the Nile River, and they will never be able to open a breakthrough from our frontal defense line."

"Conversely, the Allied forces can use the air force to continuously launch air strikes on the supply lines behind the German army.

We can even send airborne troops and special forces to launch continuous sabotage operations against the rear bases and supply stations of the German army. "

"Before, we have discussed that what we need to do now is to use the navy to defeat the Italian navy, gain control of the Mediterranean Sea, and build an air base on the island of Malta at the same time, and then completely cut off the supply line of the Axis army with a two-pronged approach."

"Rommel's Afrika Korps is a huge strategic group with millions of troops, and the amount of various materials they consume every day is an astronomical figure that is difficult to estimate."

"Once the supplies are not available, their collapse will be inevitable. So now we only need to hold the line of defense with the cooperation of the air force, and we can wait for the opponent's supply line to be cut off and collapse."

"Once the German army collapses due to insufficient supplies, it will be the best opportunity for the Allied forces to counterattack. At that time, the only thing the Allied forces have to do is to pursue, pursue, and relentlessly pursue until the Axis forces are completely wiped out in Africa."

"At that time, our goal will no longer be to hold Egypt, hold the Suez Canal, and control the Mediterranean Sea, but to open up a second battlefield, land in Europe, and completely defeat the German-Italian Axis forces!"

"It's easy to say, it's not that easy."

After hearing Yang Fan's grand plan, Ted, the commander of the Mediterranean Theater Air Force, shook his head in disdain and said, "Although the Allied Air Force has a certain advantage, it is far less exaggerated than what you said."

"Especially recently, the Rommel Legion has added a large number of fighter jets. Now the number of fighter jets in the Rommel Legion has reached more than 1300. Together with bombers and the Italian Air Force, the number of Axis combat aircraft in the North African battlefield has reached 1800. .”

"Although the number of Allied aircraft is as high as more than 2200, the number exceeds the number of combat aircraft of the Rommel Army, but it lags behind the German army in terms of performance, and the quality of the pilots is even more incomparable.

Therefore, on the whole, the Allied Air Force does not have much advantage, and it has not reached the point where it can control the air supremacy of the entire North African battlefield.

It is even very possible that the Allied Air Force will still be at a disadvantage in the next battle, and we have nothing to do..."

"No, General Ted, you are wrong."

Before Ted finished his performance, Yang Fan interrupted politely.

When everyone's eyes and attention were focused on him, Yang Fan smiled slightly and said: "General Ted, this moment and that moment, what you said was in the past, and the situation is different now."

"Different? Are you saying that your Huaxia Air Force is here?"

Ted frowned, then shook his head and said, "It's really different. Our opponents are getting stronger, but we are getting weaker."

"General Ted, please don't take our word!"

Being despised by people like Ted, Huben Army Air Force Commander Wang Liguo couldn't sit still, and shouted loudly: "It is your British Air Force that is getting weaker, and our Chinese Air Force is becoming stronger at an unprecedented speed!"

Chapter 1315 Invulnerable

"Really? Is your Huaxia Air Force very powerful, hehe, why can't I see it?"

Ted glanced back at Wang Liguo, still looking down on others and sneered, "It's a good thing for young people to have self-confidence, but blind self-confidence can only make your Huaxia Air Force die ugly."

"That can only say that you are old and dim, you are blind!"

Hearing this, Wang Liguo finally couldn't bear his violent temper.

Since Burma, he has disliked the British, not to mention that the two sides had a very unhappy fight after the North African battlefield. Up to now, his head office has been made things difficult by these British guys.

Old sorrows and new hatreds, so at this moment when the small universe broke out, Wang Liguo was not polite to the British, and said in a ruthless voice:

"In your eyes, you only see your so-called Royal Air Force pilots being beaten to the bum by the Luftwaffe, crying and crying, but you pretend not to see our Chinese Huben Air Force pilots. The Japanese Air Force had a nervous breakdown, crying and calling Dad."

Hearing the sharp rhythm, Ted immediately became unhappy, and stared at Wang Liguo, "Are you despising the Royal Air Force?"

"Yes!"

Wang Liguo nodded honestly, and said unabashedly: "But so what? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Ouchet!"

Ted suddenly became furious: "You hateful Chinese guy, how dare you despise the British Royal Air Force? How dare you desecrate the dignity of the royal family of the British Empire!"

"The royal family of the British Empire? Hehe."

Wang Liguo didn't panic at all, and continued to speak bitterly: "That's right, that's your royal family, not our Chinese royal family.

In our China, this decayed and backward thing is swept into the dustbin of history, and only you, the British Empire, kneel down again. "

"Oh, Falk!"

The slap in the face was a bit harsh, and Ted exploded immediately, roaring loudly: "You damn Chinese guy, you have to pay a heavy price for your arrogance and ignorance!"

"Put away your useless anger and poor self-esteem."

Wang Liguo said, "If you want to get dignity and respect, you should ask for it from the Germans, not from your allies."

Ted said angrily: "Even if your Huaxia Air Force took advantage of the Japanese, how can you prove it?

Has your Chinese army ever fought against the German army, or won against the German army?There is a big disparity between the German army and the Japanese army, do you know? "

"Yes, you are right."

Wang Liguo did not deny it, nodded and said: "It is true that our Huben army has not fought against the German army, but we have fought against the Japanese army for many years.

Although we have paid a lot of price, the results we have obtained are far greater than our price, which time is not a complete victory.

Conversely, what about your British army?Your British army, whether it is the army, navy, or air force, has fought against the Japanese army many times in the Asian battlefield, but what results have you achieved?

General Ted, aren't you very proud, why don't you say it out loud for everyone to hear? "

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ted suddenly became dumb, because he couldn't answer the conversation.

Of course, the British army and the Japanese army had fought in the Asian battlefield, and it was far more than once or twice.

However, the results of the battle can only be described as dismal, especially the army, which was abused by the Japanese army, and the face of the British Empire was completely humiliated.

How could Ted have the face to say it out loud at such a bleak result!

With Ted speechless, this sudden outbreak of quarrel is naturally the outcome.

"..."

After fighting against the army against the navy, after fighting against the navy and then against the air force, Yang Fan and others are simply fighting the rhythm of invincible players all over the world!

Patton, Stilwell, Cunningham and the others all looked helplessly at what was happening before them.

They are already tired of hearing such quarrels and sharp criticisms, and they don't want to hear them anymore.
