Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

After calling Wei Li over, Xu Le finally confirmed a series of things from him.

The situation in Europe was naturally the same as in the previous life. The German and Italian coalition forces occupied almost all the territory except the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula.

That is almost all the territory except England, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Andorra.

Of course, except England, the rest, including small countries like Sweden and Switzerland, are neutral countries!

But what about now?

Seven neutral countries came to sign the aid bill, hoping to get military assistance from Xu’s army!

Then there is the African battlefield. Because the United States provided too little aid, the English and French coalition forces were under-equipped and lacked logistical supplies, making it very difficult to resist the German-Italian coalition forces.

Just two months ago, the German-Italian coalition forces of about 13 people, 610 tanks and 600 aircraft launched an attack on the English 8th Army.

The British army had a huge advantage in tanks, but still failed to stop the attack of the German-Italian coalition forces, resulting in the fall of most of the territory in North Africa.

Neutral Egypt was affected. The German-Italian coalition forces did not withdraw after their victory in the northwest of Egypt, and some civilians were accidentally injured.

Neutral Liberia was almost half occupied by the German-Italian coalition forces, but the country never spoke out.

In the battle in North Africa, although America sent troops, the number was no more than 10,000!

These changes make people think of the conspiracy of the German-Italian coalition, which is probably intended to draw more countries into the battlefield.

Then came the changes in Japan, and everything in the Tang Dynasty was peaceful.

But the situation in Australia was unusual. The Japanese Navy launched a series of offensives in the South Pacific, occupying a large number of islands northeast of Australia. The remaining American troops nearby all withdrew into Australia, and one-third of Australia's coast was facing the Japanese army.

Australia did not show weakness and rapidly expanded its military strength to 70, including 2 naval forces.

After some preparation, these 2 navy troops, with only more than 10 warships, started a battle with the Japanese naval fleet in the Solomon Islands.

However, if you just rely on your passion to fight against the enemy, you will certainly not get any good results.

In just half a day, the Australian Navy was almost wiped out, with only one light cruiser and one destroyer escaping back to the country.

The Japanese Navy pursued the victory, but because the subsequent landing troops were delayed in arriving, they withdrew from the offshore area of ​​Australia.

In Ceylon, the Japanese Navy already had two aircraft carriers, Soryu and Hiryu, from the 2nd Air Fleet, as well as four heavy cruisers from the 7th Fleet, plus four destroyer squadrons.

Now Japan has sent two aircraft carriers, Ryujo and Taiyo, from the 4th Air Fleet, and four battleships from the 3rd Fleet for reinforcement.

On Chedoba Island, there were originally two heavy cruisers and five destroyers.

In order to secure the supply routes of its Indian Front, Japan once again dispatched a total of 16 destroyers from the 18th and 8th Destroyer Squadrons.

There are at least 10 submarines roaming throughout the Bay of Bengal and the Myanmar Sea.

The Malay Peninsula is where the 5th and 8th squadrons of the Japanese Second Fleet are gathered, with a total of 6 heavy cruisers, plus a light cruiser from the 2nd Torpedo Squadron.

In addition, the 50-strong Japanese and Thai coalition forces guarded the coast and maintained tight control over the Strait of Malacca.

Including 80 troops at the border between Thailand and Myanmar, 50 troops on the Malay Peninsula, 20 Burmese troops who fled from Myanmar to Sumatra in the Dutch East Indies, and the Indian Front whose strength increased to 40.

A total of 190 million troops, plus the entire 2nd Fleet of the Japanese Navy.

In general, except for the northern part of Myanmar, the rest of Myanmar has been surrounded by heavy Japanese troops.

And what about the military strength of Xu’s army?

Including the 10 Burmese troops, the total is 25, not counting the 40 warships and submarines including landing craft.

The number of ships is almost the same as that of the Japanese warships, but the number of the army is 8 times that of the Japanese.

The most important thing is that the Japanese today are not the same as those two years ago. Although the quality of individual soldiers is a little worse, their equipment is more than twice as strong as it was two years ago.

The Intelligence Department did not find out the exact number of the Japanese's equipment, but estimated a figure.

There are at least 3000 tanks and armored vehicles, at least 3000 aircraft, and more than 70 artillery pieces of 1500 mm and above, including many large-caliber heavy artillery pieces of 120 mm and above.

"The situation is getting more and more bizarre. We have to deal with it. One thing is certain: the Japanese will not dare to counterattack Burma in the short term, so we have enough time to deal with it!"

Xu Le has completely given up his memories of the war in his previous life. They have no effect on him now and will even affect his judgment.

"Marshal, Myanmar is different from North China. Here, we can no longer use static braking to control movement. We have to take the initiative to attack!"

Fang Yue said slowly, as if he already had a plan in mind.

Xu Le replied: "We have to fight, and I don't want to delay it. If it weren't for waiting for the aircraft carrier to be ready, the battle would have already started! Fang Yue, notify the three armies to prepare and start the attack on March 3st. The targets are Cheduba Island and Ceylon Island!"

.....

Xu Le is not worried about anything else but the carrier-based aviation force.

缅甸距离苏门答腊岛有1200公里，距离锡兰岛有1800公里，这远远超出了歼7、轰5和强5的作战半径，只有轰6才有此作战半径。

But the Japanese have four aircraft carriers at sea and more than 4 aircraft on land. How could the H-3000 dare to pass without escort fighters?

Therefore, the J-3500, with a maximum range of 15 kilometers, is the navy's greatest guarantee.

Unless he was carrying out high-altitude bombing, but that kind of play where hitting the target depended entirely on chance, Xu Le didn't want to do it.

Don't try to cause any damage to the Japanese. If you are unlucky and get intercepted, it would be a pity to lose a pilot.

For example, the current Kwantung Army, after strengthening air defense and increasing the number of army aviation fighters, the bomber brigade has gradually given up bombing.

Xu Le, who was worried, finally came to the aircraft carrier training base!

"Yangon has a good geographical location. The Irrawaddy River flows into Yangon, which is navigable for ships of less than 35 tons. Then it flows into Mottama Bay through the 3-kilometer Yangon River. The narrowest river basin is 10 kilometers wide, and the end is 10 kilometers wide. The entire river is navigable for ships of less than tons. This is simply a natural naval base!"

"With 18 berths, 18 ships can dock at the same time. The turnover capacity is no problem at all. This area will belong to us for the next 99 years."

Looking at the wide river in front of the naval base, Xu Le couldn't help but admire such good geographical conditions. Even in the Tang Dynasty with such a long coastline, there are not many such ports!

"Look, Marshal, there are already carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier practicing takeoff and landing!"

Looking in the direction Xu Da pointed, Xu Le saw a J-15 landing on the stern of the aircraft carrier at an extremely fast speed, without any delay and in one go.

"What's so good about this? It must be the guards demonstrating it. Today's pilots can't even perform such a standard landing. Let's go and take a look!"
