The Soviet army was defeated by the Tang army in the Korean War and Mongolian War, which led to Stalin's death. The Soviet Union was trapped in the quagmire of new leaders' seizure of power. The Soviet army's morale was depressed and the expansion of Soviet hegemony stopped.

At the same time, the new US President Truman came to power and took advantage of the Soviet Union's internal and external difficulties to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Europe to form a European military group to fight against the Soviet Union.

Although the newly appointed Khrushchev of the Soviet Union established a Warsaw Pact group to confront it, his regime was unstable and overall it was at a disadvantage.

The Soviet army was beaten up by the Tang Empire in terms of land and air. In terms of naval surface ships, the quality and quantity were not as good as the Navy of the Tang Empire in terms of quality and quantity, and the gap was 20 years.

The Tang Empire's navy was very large, the world's largest, with a total tonnage of 3.2 million tons in the early 1950s. Although it was greatly reduced from the crazy era of 6.5 million tons during World War II, what remained was the essence. The US Navy was reduced to 2.1 million tons during the same period, so the Tang Navy was still the largest naval force in the world. Although the Soviet Navy has been working hard to expand, it was only 450,000 tons, which was in an extremely unfavorable situation in the competition with the navy of the Tang and the United States.

Under Zhang Meng's full supervision, the Tang Dynasty Navy maintained 20 conventional-powered large aircraft carriers, 13 super battleships, 6 battlecruisers, 31 heavy cruisers, 110 light cruisers, 523 destroyers, and 213 submarines.

Among them, 20 large aircraft carriers include 12 Chiyou-class aircraft carriers, 8 Changan-class aircraft carriers, Tianwang-class and Doukui-class all retired and were replaced by aircraft carrier training ships.

All 13 super battleships were captured, including four British-class super battleships captured from the British Navy, four Richelieu-class super battleships captured from the French Navy, and five German-class super battleships captured from the German Navy.

Other battleships such as Queen Elizabeth, George V, Dunkirk, Bavaria, Saxony and other battleships have all been retired and have become various test target ships of the Navy.

The reason why the Tang Navy retained the strongest super battleships of Britain, France and Germany was that in addition to the fact that these battleships themselves were not in service for a long time and were of great use value. There is also a kind of deterrence and humiliation. Since World War II, the navies of various countries have stopped building battleships, so these super battleships of Britain, France and Germany have become the last battleships, which are of great significance.

During the Korean War, the Tang Dynasty Navy sent these super battleships to suppress fire and support the battlefield, and the effect was very good. Especially the five German-class battleships, which were the greatest battleship project of the Nazi German army, comparable to the Japanese Yamato-class battleships.

The five German-class super battleships all had a displacement of 70,000 tons, loaded with 4 3-unit 460mm main guns, a speed of 29 knots, a 450mm waterline with armor. The 300mm horizontal armor made it almost impossible to be sunk. Unfortunately, these five super battleships had just been built and before they could participate in the war, Germany was surrendered by the Tang Dynasty atomic bomb and was eventually taken away by the Tang Empire Navy.

The Tang army brought five German-class super battleships back to China, carried out modern modifications and upgrades, and installed powerful and advanced electronic systems, radar systems, air defense systems, missile launch systems, etc., allowing them to continue to serve the Tang Navy and show off their military power to the world on behalf of the Tang Empire.

The six battlecruisers also came from the German Navy. They were originally Bismarck-class battleships of the German Navy, but the Tang Dynasty military insisted on changing them into battlecruisers to replace the original three battlecruisers captured from Britain. They also have been modernized and upgraded and modified, emitting strong vitality.

As for other warships, the Tang Empire has never replaced it because it is invincible at sea. The Wind God and Sea God have been in service. The ship is not old and has undergone many modernization upgrades and modifications, so there is no problem in serving for another 20 or 30 years.

Although the Tang Empire was rich, it would not spend money casually, so these auxiliary warships have never been replaced.

Similarly, most of the submarine troops of the Tang Dynasty Navy were old-fashioned submarines during World War II. Although the new Carp-class submarines were powerful, unfortunately, after only 40 were built, World War II ended. The Navy immediately stopped building.

However, as the Soviet Union suffered repeated defeats in the Korean War and Mongolian Wars, the Soviet Navy made every effort to develop its submarine force.

During the occupation of East Germany, the Soviet Union obtained German UXX2 submarine technical data, which is Germany's most advanced submarine technology. Although it also has artillery weapons in appearance and its silent effect is not as advanced as that of the Carp-class submarines of the Tang Dynasty, it is no longer comparable in other aspects.

The Soviet Union had no money to engage in an arms race in aircraft carriers and battleships with Tang and the United States, so it could only compete with the submarine power with low cost and fast results.

This concept was learned by the Soviet Union and Zhang Meng. When the Tang Empire was just established, Zhang Meng also vigorously developed submarines with the mentality of a weak navy. Now it is just being learned by the Soviet Union, which has caused the power of Soviet submarines to soar.

Based on the advanced German submarines, the Soviet Union successively developed and produced W-class, F-class, R-class submarines and built more than 300. Among them, the W-class submarines later dismantled artillery weapons and imitated the water drop shape of the Tang army carp-class submarines, achieving huge performance improvements, and being able to compete with Tang Mei's conventional submarines.

The Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union were in harmony. The most intense areas were in the Arctic Arctic Ocean, the Tang Dynasty's Far East, the United States Alaska and the northern Soviet Union were all within the Arctic Circle. The climate there was too cold to compete in the air and the ground, but there was a fighting field under the Arctic Ocean.

The submarine troops of the Three Kingdoms Navy often compete in secret in the waters around the world, and even open fire to sink the other side's submarines. Both sides' officials covered up the truth by sinking various accidents, and in fact they all know it.

At the beginning, Tang Mei's submarines often sank Soviet submarines, and soon the Soviet submarines counterattacked and continued to sank submarines between Tang and the United States.

The submarine warfare under the sea is the most intense in the Arctic Ocean, and "accidents" happen almost every day. Since the end of World War II, more than 200 submarines have sunk under the Arctic Ocean, with the largest number of the Soviet Union as high as 137, followed by 81 in the United States, and the Tang Dynasty's submarines are the most advanced, but 48 have also sunk. Submarines such as Britain and France have also begun to join in the fun. After sinking a few, they dare not go again. They are the result of the secret battle between the Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union. They are called the Arctic Death Triangle by the world media, comparable to the Bermuda Triangle.

However, one incident soon broke the dominance of the submarine force of the Tang Empire in the Arctic Ocean. Not long after Khrushchev came to power, the 627 nuclear-powered submarine numbered K3 crossed the Arctic Ocean for the first time and entered the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean.

This incident shocked Tang and the United States. After Zhang Meng received the report, he immediately went to the Navy Submarine Engineering Institute to inspect and called out a group of officials responsible for the development of the Tang Dynasty nuclear submarines and scolded them one by one.
