The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Only rational people will withstand the temptation of powerful weapons and not pursue or even use them. Obviously, the heads of state in this era seem to be rational, but they are actually crazy!No matter what excuses they have, as long as there is a slight possibility, they will not hesitate to try to make a nuclear bomb, and then use it in war!

Everything is based on their lack of basic understanding of the destructive power of nuclear energy!

Zhu Bin can already imagine how crazy Hitler would be after hearing the news!This time is different from before, but right at the doorstep of Europe, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the power of nuclear weapons is fully blooming!For a madman who aspires to rule the world, without such a weapon, he can't eat or sleep!

Chen Shaokuan and the others didn't know whether Zhu Bin could control themselves, and were very worried about what kind of black hands he would do to the enemy troops on the vast ocean besides the civilians, so they asked hesitantly: "Are you planning to destroy the opponent just like this?" ?”

He didn't think that the nuclear bomb was deliberately set at that height and landing point, but that the launch distance was too far to be precisely controlled. Its real goal was to directly destroy the German capital fleet on the move?

Zhu Bin waved his hand lightly: "Of course not. Nuclear weapons have never been the best way to solve wars. It is enough to show the enemy one or two times of strength. Too many are not only meaningless, but even counterproductive! We must use the enemy to think that they are The strongest means, completely defeat them!"

Chen Shaokuan and the others were a little relieved, but also faintly looking forward to it.Perhaps, this will be the last time to personally experience a traditional naval battle, and the scale is unprecedentedly large!

In the high altitude, the nuclear radiation gradually disappeared, and the turbulent wind and clouds were restored in an orderly manner under the powerful self-tuning ability of the earth.It's just an electromagnetic storm, and it will continue to rage for at least a day or two. Zhu Bin doesn't need to interfere, just sit and watch the Germans rush forward like blind men!

The real situation is worse than imagined!

Within the range affected by the explosion, strong light, high heat, shock waves, strong winds, and ice storms.Under various shocks, [-]% of the German reconnaissance planes within a radius of [-] kilometers were damaged and crashed on the spot, leaving a deadly vacuum in the entire front reconnaissance area.

Those planes hovering around the periphery were frightened and did not dare to fly to the core area. With the complete interruption of their wireless communication, many people were blinded. Flying has become an extremely dangerous business.Either dodge far away, or land in a hurry to avoid!

On the vast ocean, under severe weather conditions where it is difficult to see the sea surface clearly from a height of [-] meters, if you lose contact, you may lose the fleet's position. If you don't pay attention, even returning home will become extremely difficult.A large number of planes stumbled and landed on the sea, and they were shocked to find that the mountain-like frenzy was raging and turbulent from all directions.In the blink of an eye, they were smashed to pieces on the icy water!

central array. The battleship "Bismarck" stubbornly rushed out of the monstrous waves, and suddenly left behind all the violent and terrifying air currents. The thick iron-like cloud suddenly disappeared, and the heavy hull rose from a piece of land more than ten meters wide. Pushing forward fiercely on the hundreds of meters of waves, smashing into the trough, the sharp bow fiercely split a steep peak and valley in front of it.rushed out!

Fierce waves crossed the deck and slapped fiercely on the bridge, and were immediately left behind by the battleship galloping like wild horses. The water surface ahead became ten times calmer after a violent impact.It was as if everything had returned to before the explosion!

Colonel Lindemann grasped the chrome-plated armrest with both hands, stared firmly at the brightened water surface outside the porthole, his cold and hard mouth turned pale, his tense body relaxed slightly, grabbed the phone and asked each part one by one, How is it going!

The engine department, the diesel engine is running well; the gun department, the turret transfer is normal, some auxiliary guns and anti-aircraft guns are damaged, and can be repaired urgently; the damage control department is stepping up to clean up the deck, but the storm seems to have saved them a lot of trouble. The bridge of the ship is disintegrating ice...

More than a hundred people were injured in the collision, with severe fractures and bleeding heads. It seems that they have experienced a tough naval battle. Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness remains acceptable.

Admiral Lukins was even more embarrassed. He had never experienced such a terrible and weird sea condition. His hands and feet were trembling with all his strength exhausted, and he couldn't even hold his cane securely. The status of other ships! Try to contact the two wing formations! Hell, wouldn't God want to see us win an unprecedented victory?"

He didn't think it was the Chinese playing tricks.Such a large-scale terrifying air explosion is powerful enough to change the weather and geomagnetic environment. It is definitely not a power that humans can master. It must be a rare anomaly in history.Furthermore, there has never been a shortage of miraculous legends in the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe there is a relic of the ancient civilization Atlantis under the surface of the sea they are sailing now.

The signalmen rushed to the top of the bridge at the risk, signaled and sent semaphores, the radio was completely shut down, and the water reconnaissance planes kept falling from the sky. Everything was terrible, and it was more troublesome than they imagined!

Lukins' face became ugly, and his previous confidence seemed to have been severely slashed.If this is God's warning, will there be more dangers waiting for them?Or in the mysterious Bermuda waters?

No!Absolutely not!The Third Reich was blessed by the gods. Germany and the Aryans were God's chosen people. Their victory is justified, or this temporary difficulty is just a test of the supreme god's determination of their will. Overcoming obstacles, only by breaking through numerous obstacles and finally achieving victory will be more brilliant!

Lukins hinted to himself repeatedly in his heart, emphasizing this conjecture, and then anxiously waited for further news to come.

It's all messed up!After three full hours, the central formation barely broke out of the storm area, or to be more precise, the local disturbance caused by the detonation of the three-phase bomb subsided, and no longer caused them trouble.

However, within these three hours, the main combat effectiveness of the German army, all of which were new warships, was weakened by more than [-]%, and the loss of ships was not too serious, but most officers and soldiers were exhausted. discount.

Bad trouble still.They temporarily lost their exact position in the sea area.All the instruments went crazy and were disturbed by the abnormal magnetic field. The sun could not be seen in the sky, and the wind and intermittent freezing rain continued to wreak havoc all around. They were most likely lost!

This is simply a joke!In what era, a fleet with hundreds of huge formations will actually get lost!But the facts are right in front of us.During those few hours of long tossing, everyone was desperately trying to stabilize the hull, looking for breakthroughs, preventing collisions with other warships, and keeping the course. It is impossible to determine whether it is going east or west. Perhaps only the intuitive judgment of the old sailor can help a little.

Lukins frowned.Ordered the flying scouts: "Continue to search in the sky! In any case, we must find out everything as soon as possible! We must not give the enemy any chance to sneak attack!"

He firmly believed that the opponent would most likely take advantage of this weather environment to launch a sudden attack. Otherwise, their strength would not be enough to defeat him head-on. This was the same as the German navy's strategy of surprise guerrilla attacks.

real.Is that so?

General Andrew Cunningham didn't see it that way.

The left wing formation he was in also crashed into the storm and electromagnetic interference zone, and was slightly less affected than the central group.Also scary enough.However, compared with the Germans, Cunningham's experience is too rich. He immediately commanded all the ships to turn the rudder decisively to the right, facing the fierce impact of the cross-cutting waves, with a solid hull and a sharp bow.Aiming at the cascading and steep crests to make active impacts again and again, abruptly breaking through the terrifying side pushing force, in the earth-shattering impact, looking for a way out!

Poor Italians, never have they seen such a terrible storm at sea!They are used to wandering the Mediterranean.Entering such a violent Atlantic Ocean, it is like a young eagle experiencing wind and rain for the first time, curling up without trembling, which is already considered a brave performance!

Thanks to their mixed formation with the British and the Germans' intermediate balance, the order was ensured to be transmitted smoothly. In the chaos, the capital ships that were not affected by the disaster successfully turned around and rushed towards the core of the most intense storm!

Such a strategy is correct.The storm caused by the impact of the nuclear explosion came quickly and went quickly, and they were far enough away. After only a period of raid, they returned to the previous stage of cold wind and turbid waves.

The cautious British did not forget to check their course and speed at any time in their busy schedule. After rushing out of the storm zone, they immediately marked their exact position on the chart. Cunningham ordered the air search fleet: "Attention! More searches to the central cluster! We must prevent us from getting too close to them and causing accidents!"

Their left-wing formation approached the center line for more than 100 nautical miles. Even after the course was adjusted again, the strategic maneuver had already caused a change in the overall front. This must be taken into account to ensure that nothing goes wrong!

One hundred nautical miles is enough to make a decisive change in the shore-based support force, so we have to guard against it!

In this attack, the tasks of the three formations are quite clear.The central cluster has the most balanced forces, and is responsible for the main long-distance attack and frontal impact. Once the enemy is entangled, the left-wing battleship-based force will take the opportunity to rush over and force the enemy to attack intensively with main gun-level torpedoes.

After forming a comprehensive encirclement and melee, the right-wing formation can approach at full speed and launch strikes with carrier-based aircraft. Such a multi-pronged approach can ensure a large-scale siege of the enemy.

No way, a typical air priority attack, facing the Chinese navy's perverted air defense capabilities and terrifying jet fighters, they can't do anything, at least don't expect to be able to attack and drop bombs.At the joint operations meeting, it was determined that the war should be controlled at night to weaken the enemy's fighter planes to the greatest extent.Constraining the battlefield in the middle of the ocean prevents their shore-based forces from exerting their strength, and prolongs the range of pursuit and siege activities at sea.

Around this big goal, no mistakes can be made, and the current chaos must be corrected!

The loss situation was quickly counted. When he heard that there were actually four old Italian battleships lying on the ground, Cunningham immediately frowned. Looking at the other ships, they were damaged by the cross-cut wave crest, which must be huge. Although they can't count on those veterans who can't run at a cruising speed of 20 knots, in the face of terrifying enemies, every reduction in strength is fatal!

"Send a warning to the headquarters! Our enemies are very likely to use the weather changes to launch attacks! We must increase the enemy's reconnaissance and search!"

Cunningham faithfully performed his duties, and he knew that in such a battle.If they don't cooperate with all their strength for the time being, but half-heartedly, it's their own bad luck. Once they are defeated by each of them, the consequences will be disastrous.He still wants to keep the vital force of the precious Royal Navy of the British Empire, so be careful.how to do it!

After five or six hours of tossing, the formation of the three major formations was chaotic!

The central formation of the German army, which was finally adjusted, finally confirmed its direction after six hours, and ran nearly [-] nautical miles towards the left-wing African continent!It was less than [-] nautical miles away from Cunningham's formation --- this was the case when Cunningham took the initiative to adjust the heading and deliberately opened the distance!

And the distance between them and the right-wing U.S. formation has increased to nearly a thousand nautical miles!The originally extremely even formation had a big hole torn out of thin air.The practice of the Americans taking the initiative to deviate was discovered, but they lost radio contact with each other, and it was impossible to coordinate for a while.Only relying on the connection of the plane, the speed is too slow!

Major General Louis Mountbatten, who stayed in the German formation and was in charge of staff work, gave the best advice at the critical moment: "We must imagine launching a frontal conflict with the enemy ship under the condition of full electromagnetic shielding! We must also be prepared to be attacked by long-range ships. Prepare to attack! The enemy army may have fully grasped our detailed information, don’t have any illusions, prepare for battle with all your strength, and once contacted, you must go all out without compromise. This is the only chance for victory!”

It seems to be repeating the common understanding of the United Kingdom and the United States at the joint operations meeting.But at this time, his reminder is telling the Germans from another angle, be careful!The battle may start at any time!

Mountbatten, who has a weird temper, is as stubborn as a tendon that can't be chewed, but Admiral Lukins appreciates this style very much and agrees with his proposal.

Six hours is enough for many unexpected changes.If the enemy is advancing at full speed head-on, under the confrontation, the two sides will approach at least 300 nautical miles, and they have reached the edge of the fighter jet's take-off distance, at least that is the case for the opponent.

look at the time.Lukins confirmed that in the middle of the night, if the two sides do not dodge and attack straight ahead, they will definitely enter within [-] nautical miles, and air battles and attacks may occur. They have to be careful!

Except for the damage control, the rest of the staff took the time to make the final repairs.According to the usual practice, the enemy army doesn't seem to have the habit of playing hide-and-seek. Once they enter the battle, the first wave of attacks will often be very fierce. The terrifying ultra-long-range missiles will suddenly come at an unexpected time!

Admiral Lukins himself was relatively reserved, but he didn't notice that there was a strange emotion spreading throughout the German navy --- cowardice!

This is from the very beginning of the war, with the dispute between the submarine faction and the warship faction, and the brilliant results of the successful battle with the Doenitz wolf pack, it has entered an almost irreversible and bad cycle of overall changes!

The entire German navy has increasingly lost the courage to fight head-on with enemy ships!Even if two "Bismarck-class" battleships and two "Zeppelin-class" aircraft carriers were in service, the two aircraft carrier formations formed respectively were mainly used by them to break diplomatic relations at sea, and they never considered launching a frontal battle with the British Navy.

Of course, the British navy they faced was too powerful, but the problem was not that thousands of warships stayed together.In order to maintain the long lifeline at sea, the British navy is very scattered. A battle group rarely gathers more than three battleships, and the number of aircraft carriers is pitifully small. .

But the Germans just didn't do that, they were timid and deliberately avoided!

Now, the battle hasn't started yet, and I never thought about it. The Germans, who have never experienced a direct battle, are already getting too nervous!

Mountbatten and the others were keenly aware of this situation, but they didn't intend to remind them, or they couldn't be persuaded anymore!The habit has been formed, with the stubbornness of the Germans, who can turn it around!

"Perhaps... this is their fate!" Mountbatten sighed silently.

Under the electromagnetic shield, the vast North Atlantic battlefield was filled with eerie silence. The cold wind gradually weakened as night fell, and everything seemed to be calming down.

However, the fleet led by Zhu Bin quietly crossed half of the Atlantic Ocean from the direction of Bermuda, then turned to the right side of the German formation, and cut it fiercely with a sharp arc at an acute angle!

At midnight, the icy sea seemed to have been frozen, and the raging cold wind suddenly stopped whistling, forming a huge ocean-going fleet with sharp cones. Two electromagnetic gun attack ships opened their posture and locked on two enemy ships 500 nautical miles away. The military warship, without warning, suddenly opened fire!

No flames, no loud noises, no earth-shattering vibrations, the modified warhead propelled by high-energy electromagnetic force is like a bolt of lightning, rushing out of the orbit at more than 15 times the speed of sound, and flying through the air!

There is only a fist-thick projectile, like a long spear with rounded edges and corners. The streamlined shell has been precisely calculated and forged. There is a layer of weak electromagnetic force field flowing at high speed, which minimizes air resistance and maintains stable high speed. The straight ballistic trajectory hits the high-altitude orbit, and with the geomagnetic traction, it draws a leisurely arc, then suddenly falls, and when it enters the front of the target group, it returns to the attitude of skimming along the sea level, and plunges headlong into the waist of an attack ship with incomparable speed. !
