The US military has stationed two divisions of 30,000 troops in the Philippines, concentrated in the Subic military port and its surrounding areas, while it has stationed three divisions of 50,000 troops in Darwin. These troops will serve as their last resort to withstand the earthquake. ** attacks, face-saving Americans will not retreat without a fight, and retreating is not in their national interest.
After preliminary preparations and a series of confrontations, the Taiping region is already filled with clouds of war. It seems that the whole world has already foreseen that a war between China and the United States is about to begin. This will be the first time since the founding of New China and the United States in terms of national security. The most powerful challenge ever encountered.
Both countries are making final preparations for this naval battle, especially the United States, which has almost put all its naval power on the Hawaiian Islands. However, the United States has no extravagant hopes of returning home in triumph. They want All they want to do is to prevent Zhenjiang from continuing to attack the United States. After this battle, most of Zhenjiang's aircraft carrier fleet will be consumed and Zhenjiang's vitality will be severely damaged, thereby gaining valuable resources for the subsequent reconstruction of a huge aircraft carrier fleet.
The purpose of the Chinese Navy is also very obvious. It wants to completely disintegrate the existing strength of the U.S. Navy in one battle, completely suppress the expansion of the U.S. military power, and eliminate one of the most powerful opponents for World War I. Regardless of whether the United States can be completely contained in North America and unable to move, it must at least prevent the United States from using its navy to provide assistance to countries such as Britain and France, and it cannot dispatch army combat troops to Europe. In this way, China's strategic goals can be gradually realized.
"Historical experience shows that as long as the United States does not interfere in the European battlefield, the outcome of the European war will not have a shocking reversal, and the Anglo-French-Russian alliance is likely to be defeated and disintegrated until it completely collapses.
Once this big strategic goal is established, the battle to capture Hawaii will become particularly important. This battle can basically determine the pattern of war in the next one or two years. At least the Chinese Navy's gradually expanding aircraft carrier fleet in the future will completely overwhelm the U.S. Navy. .
With bases such as Hawaii and Guam and Midway controlled by the United States in the Pacific, the Chinese navy will always threaten the security of the United States, and can then control the Panama Canal and control this channel from the Pacific to the Atlantic, allowing the Chinese navy to Smoothly enter the east coast of the United States and completely curb the movements of the U.S. Navy in the Atlantic region.
The huge South China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group is marching toward Hawaii in the United States. After October 7, it is already a thousand kilometers away from Hawaii. The battle is about to begin. This battle also affects the hearts of many people. , in addition to the leaders of China and the United States and the people at home, those outsiders who are concerned about the development of the situation have also begun to panic.
At this time, units dispatched by the First Fleet had carried out multiple raids on the coast of the Philippines. The U.S. military used shore-based artillery fire to fight back. The Chinese fleet adopted hit-and-run tactics and frequently bombarded the coast of the Philippines to disrupt the minds of the U.S. military. By making them restless at all times, the basic purpose will be achieved.
The U.S. military has long been determined to focus its main efforts on the Hawaii area. The Philippines and Australia have become places that are ready to give up, because once these two places lose the protection of the aircraft carrier fleet, they will soon become the Chinese Navy without much effort. Objects that can be captured with strength.
The Chinese *** team can adopt tactics similar to those used against the French army in Vietnam, using long-term air strikes to attack their defensive fortifications and supply lines, disintegrating their solid fortifications and some of their strong defense forces, and finally sending land troops to land to attack the exhausted defenders. Encirclement and ordering the defenders to surrender when they run out of ammunition and food to reduce the casualties of their own troops. This tactic has been successful in Burma and Vietnam, so the Americans know very well that the Philippines and Australia are not something they are capable of protecting. area, they can only give up when necessary. The reason why they are still adopting a stubborn defensive strategy is because they want to contain part of the naval power of the Jin Dynasty and reduce the burden on the Hawaii area, so that the United States can achieve a major victory in the Hawaii Campaign. The chances of victory are increased to a certain extent.
At this time, the European battlefield was still in a stalemate. The British-French allied forces and the German army were still in a stalemate on the Western Front in northern France. The battle line extended from northeastern France to the west to the Atlantic coast. The two sides built a large number of defenses and faced off for a long time. The front also became the main battlefield in the land war between the German army and the British and French forces in World War I. Until the end of the war, neither side retreated nor advanced on a large scale. They only achieved some modest results in local areas. Although the German army Several large-scale attacks were launched, but they were all blocked by the British and French forces. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and were basically of no avail.
The situation on the Eastern Front battlefield is slightly more complicated. Germany is still engaged in a push-and-pull battle with Russia. Austria-Hungary and Turkey are also engaged in regional battles with Russia, Romania, Serbia and other countries respectively. The economies of these countries are almost All appearedA large degree of destruction, especially in small countries like Bulgaria and Romania. The war lasted for a long time, and their domestic economic systems were severely damaged. Their ability to support long-term operations was far inferior to that of large countries like Russia. This became the first time that The World War ended because the economies of most of the Allied countries were unable to survive.
Britain, France and other countries were deeply aware of the significance of the United States' participation in the war. Once the United States entered the war, the war situation in Europe would have a huge impact, especially since the United States declared war on China and Germany at the same time, which made Britain, France, and Russia jubilant, almost as excited and festive as a festival. lively.
The U.S. Navy's entanglement with the Chinese Navy in the Asia-Pacific region will greatly delay the Chinese Navy's entry into the Atlantic region to help the German Navy deal with the British and French fleets, and win valuable breathing time for the British and French navies. This has already been shown. Zhenzhen was originally planning to station in Turkey for a long time The Second Fleet had to retreat to the Pacific at this time to deal with the provocation of the U.S. Navy. The subsequent war would greatly limit Zhenzhen's entanglement with the United States, and the opportunities for joint Atlantic naval battles with the Germans would also be reduced. a lot of.
The European belligerents such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia are very concerned about the confrontation between China and the United States on the other side of the world. At this time, the fate of the Hawaiian Fleet is unknown. The hearts of political leaders in various countries are also beating with the development of the Far East war situation. The Allies understand , once the US military loses the first battle, the subsequent battle is likely to be one-sided. Countries such as Britain and France, which hope that the United States will win, are as worried as the United States. They worry that the appearance of the United States is just a flash in the pan. If the United States is finished, will Britain and France continue to persevere? Even they cannot know the confidence, because once China gradually projects its power into the Atlantic region, the outcome of the war is likely to gradually become clear, and the power of the Allies in Europe will be greatly enhanced.
Similarly, the Germans are also very concerned about the war between China and the United States. As early as when Zhenxin entered the Indian Ocean, amidst the fear of pessimism from Britain and France, the Germans were full of joy. After the United States became involved, Britain and France became jubilant, while Germany became worried. The changing situation caused dramatic changes in the moods of the leaders on both sides. Their hearts were also affected by the upcoming decisive battle, and they even cared about it. It paid more attention to the European battlefield, because these wily politicians and military strategists all understood the significance of winning or losing this battle.
As a major land passage from China to Turkey through Myanmar and India has gradually taken shape, Britain, France and Russia are increasingly feeling a sense of threat, because aircraft and tanks produced by China's military factories will continue to be exported from this great land crossing across the Eurasian continent. Through the channel, the continuous flow of goods to Europe will likely have a substantial and significant impact on the war situation.
After the Chinese Navy withdrew from the Indian Ocean, the British military has gradually begun to return to this area. They have posed a great threat to the maritime transportation lines along the Indian Ocean. This line jointly developed by China and Turkey leads from Yunnan to Myanmar and then westward. The passage from India to Turkey is based on the expansion of the original roads in various countries. The part in Myanmar was jointly funded by the Chinese and Myanmar governments, and part of the part in India was built with loans provided by the Central Bank of China. Fund construction.
India's attitude is also very positive, because they hope that the Allied Powers will defeat the war, so that after the defeat, Britain will no longer be able to send troops to attack India and regain its colonies, just like Britain declared war on the independent United States in 1812, destroying India had just gained independence and integrity.
Britain and France have obviously long since realized that this upcoming major channel across two continents will pose a serious threat to them once it is formed. Therefore, when they took advantage of the excitement to engage in naval battles with the US military in the Pacific, they had already sent fleets to harass the Turkish Arabs. territorial area.
The Allies even formulated a plan to attack the territories on both sides of the Persian Gulf in the Turkish Persia and Baghdad areas, so that China's military assistance to Europe could be cut off.
However, the lessons left by Turkey's failure to land 500,000 troops on the coast of the Turkish Strait led Britain, France and Russia to draw a wrong conclusion. They believed that it would be difficult for the navy to successfully land on the enemy's shore. This was also the lesson left behind by the failure of the previous war. The huge shadow cast by them had a great impact on their subsequent decision-making. Therefore, the Allies were still hesitant about whether to send large forces to carry out landing operations on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Considering the risks, they had not yet reached a final agreement.
At present, the control of the sea in the Mediterranean has been seized by the Allied Powers. When they landed in Turkey in the Mediterranean, it was very convenient to transport troops and supplies, but they did not win in the end. At this time, they had to move their troops from the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, and then through the narrow The Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Arabian region along the Indian Ocean, and then entering the Strait of Hormuz and launching them to the coast of the Persian Gulf are by no means an easy task. At least Turkey¡¯s coastal defense combat forces in the Arabian Peninsula will deal with them. LoginIt would cause a lot of disruption, which would be even more difficult than a landing operation in the Turkish Straits.
¡°Obviously, the distance from Britain, France and other countries through the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean is too long, and the supply line is too long. The battle will be more difficult than landing in the Mediterranean. The Allies have to take into account the impact of these factors.
In addition, the prospects for the Sino-US naval war are unclear. If China wins victory soon, China's aircraft carrier fleet will return to the Indian Ocean. By then, the Allied Powers' landing battle will suffer a serious setback. All these unknown impacts make the Allied Powers must carefully consider their preparations. Landing operations in Turkish Arabia.
After many negotiations and debates, Britain, France, Russia and other countries decided to observe for a while to see the outcome of the upcoming Hawaii campaign between China and the United States. If the United States achieves certain results, their landing operation will be carried out soon. If the United States loses miserably, then the landing operation will undoubtedly be canceled immediately. Therefore, the huge impact of the Sino-US war on the European war situation is unanimously recognized by all European military and political circles. Everyone is keeping their eyes peeled for the fierce collision that is about to happen between these two giants of the Pacific region. This is no more than a group of enthusiastic spectators caring about the heat of a fierce world-class boxing championship.
Newspapers from various European countries have conducted continuous and uninterrupted follow-up reports on this upcoming decisive battle. Naturally, domestic reports and people's concern in China and the United States are not to mention.
In some cities in China, people beat gongs and drums to spread propaganda on the streets, calling on young people to actively join the army, become brave warriors, and sacrifice themselves for the interests of the country and the nation. Massive demonstrations are held frequently, and people across the country are opposing the United States. After a wave, the people's enthusiasm and enthusiasm were fully mobilized, which favorably supported the upcoming battle. And with the beating of people's hearts, this war is getting closer and closer.
On the sea 800 kilometers away from the Hawaiian Islands, the South China Sea Fleet slowed down slightly, because the best combat strategy of the South China Sea Fleet is to park the aircraft carrier in the sea 500 kilometers away from Hawaii. In this way, the U.S. military in Hawaii Twenty fighter jets and more than thirty torpedo planes cannot pose a threat to the South China Sea Fleet, while the carrier-based aircraft of the South China Sea Fleet can fly 500 kilometers away at any time to conduct air strikes on Hawaii.
Before the U.S. fleet coming from the mainland and the Adel fleet approach, the South China Sea Fleet will be able to conduct unscrupulous air strikes on Hawaii to eliminate most of Hawaii's air defense and anti-ship forces.
Since most of the U.S. military's remaining ships on the mainland are anchored in ports along the Atlantic coast, they must pass through the Panama Canal and then enter the Pacific Ocean and rush to Hawaii. It is expected that the U.S. fleet coming from the west and east directions will be close to the South China Sea Fleet. It will take about five to eight days. Within these days, the South China Sea Fleet will launch an initial bombing campaign, kicking off the entire Hawaii campaign.
After nightfall, there was darkness on the sea. The sea without stars and moonlight was like a silent land. No scene could be seen. The gentle waves gently hit the steel hull of the warship, making a rhythmic collision sound.
On the Poseidon command ship, the spacious and bright conference room is set up in the center of the inner layer of the warship. This makes it less likely to be damaged after being hit by a torpedo or bomb, and also protects the commander's life safety to the greatest extent. , the modern fire extinguishing system equipped in the warship can also promptly extinguish possible fires.
A group of South China Sea Fleet generals were sitting around a large rectangular table. Li Guoqiang sat in the chairman's position at one end of the table. On his left was Bai Yanjun. On his right was Fleet Staff Officer Huang Shusheng and Third Fleet Commander Zeng Guoqing. , and below them sat several middle and high-level commanders of the fleet, as well as clerks, secretaries and other civilian officials. Everyone was wearing neat military uniforms and military caps, looking quite serious.
The most distinctive thing on the command ship is the communication equipment. There are walkie-talkies, wireless communicators, wireless and wired radio stations, transmitters and other equipment in almost every room to ensure that the commander is in a meeting or in a specialized command You can get in touch with them in time whether in the room, in the rest room, or even in the shower room or toilet.
There is no doubt that the Poseidon is the most advanced communication and command ship in the world. It has the most developed communication and command network. It can not only communicate with the fleet internally in real time, but also contact the Chinese Ministry of National Defense command center thousands of kilometers away. , which no country in the world can achieve today, also benefits from the vigorous development of the domestic electronics industry.
The rapid and advanced development of China's electronics industry in recent years has almost brought advanced equipment such as electronic computers to the stage of history. However, this is currently only treated as a state secret, and the outside world knows nothing about it. If this technology is born, , the whole world will undoubtedly once again let out a cry of amazement.
In addition to electronic technology, the development of various other technologies will greatly enhance China¡¯s national defense capabilities.All fields will develop ahead of schedule and lead the world. For example, genetic technology and cloning technology have initially proposed and planned research projects as domestic biological talents gradually increase. These technologies that are only available in the 21st century will have a great impact on the science and technology of New China. development has a significant impact, and this is just a drop in the bucket. Once China¡¯s talent reserve reaches a certain amount, many technologies of later generations can gradually enter the stage of history. These new technologies will cover all fields of industrial and agricultural production and social life, and will greatly Promote the extraordinary development of Chinese society.
Li Guoqiang asked a receptionist to make each officer a cup of Pu'er tea from his hometown. A mellow aroma filled the spacious command room. The wind from two large ceiling fans made everyone feel cool, gradually leaving the summer heat behind. The back of the head.
Today¡¯s meeting is a bit special. The combat plan has been discussed and formulated a few days ago, and there is no need for so many people to sit together for discussion.
There was a big guy placed on a big table about five meters long and two meters wide, which attracted everyone's attention. A young short engineer was standing on the side of the table, pointing at the big guy and explaining to everyone. Analysis, he was speaking eloquently, foaming at the mouth, the commanders nodded frequently, quite appreciative of the young man's superb technical understanding.
