Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On November 15, 1912, a Chinese army of more than 30,000 troops landed in the small town of Salinas on the west coast of the United States, and detoured to the south of San Francisco. It took three days to defeat the US military garrison in San Jose, and successfully circled to San Francisco to guard the void.  In the southern urban area, the Chinese Pacific Fleet and the Chinese Pacific Fleet jointly attacked San Francisco by land and water.  .

    Subsequently, under the indiscriminate bombing of the Chinese Air Force, San Francisco's air defense line collapsed, and San Francisco fell into chaos. Taking advantage of this chaos, the Chinese Army successfully broke into the city and fought fiercely with the US troops in the city for several hours. In the end, the US troops in the city were defeated.  They all retreated.

    Under the command of Secretary of Defense Roosevelt, the U.S. Army in San Francisco successfully broke through, and San Francisco was subsequently occupied by the Chinese Navy and Army.

    After this battle, the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet was completely wiped out. At the beginning of the Battle of Midway, the U.S. Navy assembled a total of twenty main battleships. After the Battle of San Francisco, the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet had only two surrendered battleships.  In addition, eighteen other battleships were sunk, and very few of the remaining ships survived.  In the Battle of San Francisco, the U.S. Navy and Army lost 13 generals, including Rear Admiral Marshall, and more than 100 senior officers above the school level. Including the Navy and the Army, the casualties among ordinary soldiers were nearly 30,000.

    The annihilation of the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet meant that the United States had completely lost control of the Pacific region. Thousands of U.S. troops on Guam heard about the annihilation of the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet and took the initiative to surrender to China's South China Sea Fleet.

    Without the North Atlantic Fleet, the United States instantly fell from the throne of the world's fourth naval power. It was replaced by the Chinese Pacific Fleet. If we talk about China's previous wars with Russia and Japan, it shows that the Chinese Pacific Fleet is on the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea.  Overlord, then, the complete defeat of the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet means that the Chinese Pacific Fleet has officially become the overlord of the Pacific, becoming the fourth-ranked fleet in the world after Britain, Germany and France!

    For a time, China was unrivaled in the international community.

    It was precisely because of the military operation that the Chinese Army landed in Salinas and outflanked San Francisco that the victory in the battle to completely annihilate the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet and capture San Francisco was achieved. Therefore, the international community calls China's successful military operation "  It was called "Operation D-Day."

    ??¡­

    After the news of the fall of San Francisco and the annihilation of the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet reached the United States, there was an uproar in the United States. In particular, American people in many cities took to the streets and launched riot demonstrations.

    These American people have always been immersed in the dream that the United States is the world's first-class power. They believe that the North Atlantic Fleet, which is ranked fourth in the world, is invincible in the Pacific.  It is possible to defeat the North Atlantic Fleet that the Americans are proud of.

    However, the fall of San Francisco was like a wake-up call, severely shattering their dreams in front of the Americans. The destruction of the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet announced the complete decline of the U.S. Navy. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the United States.  .  The United States has an extremely vast coastline. Without the protection of the navy, the east and west coastlines of the United States lose their protective umbrella. For the powerful Chinese Pacific Fleet, any point on the east and west coastlines of the United States can be reached as long as the Chinese Pacific Fleet is willing.  As a landing point for the invasion of the United States.

    This decision is an extremely loud slap in the face for Americans who have always been proud!

    Some young people in the United States even cried bitterly in front of their respective state governments, angrily denounced China's despicability, and at the same time actively asked to join the army to drive the Chinese invader away from American soil.  In response to the challenges faced by the United States today, the U.S. Congress held an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond to China's attack on American cities.

    At the same time, in order to prevent China from continuing to land on the West Coast, the U.S. Department of Defense once again issued an urgent mobilization order to actively mobilize its troops and mobilized 100,000 troops to rush to the West Coast to meet up with Roosevelt's 70,000 troops in Los Angeles to prepare for the vast West Coast and the Chinese Army.  Fight to the death.

    At this time, Roosevelt had led the remnant army to Los Angeles, another city on the west coast of the United States. Roosevelt combined the 50,000 troops with Major General Hanks and less than 30,000 troops who had escaped from San Francisco.  The Los Angeles garrison with nearly 10,000 soldiers built fortifications again in Los Angeles to prevent the attack of the Chinese Pacific Fleet.

    At this time, Roosevelt was very depressed. I don¡¯t know whether it was because he was exhausted from traveling day and night these days, or because he was still brooding over the loss of San Francisco, or because he was sad about the death of Major General Marshall.

    "Dong dong" There was a knock on Roosevelt's door.

    "Come in!" Roosevelt said weakly.

    Coming in?A nearly fifty-year-old officer with a beard and a strong body. Looking at the military rank on his shoulder, he was clearly a major general. He was holding a telegram in his hand. He must have come to deliver a telegram to Roosevelt. It was headed by a major general.  Coming to deliver the telegram in person shows how important this information is.

    "Mr. Minister, please express your condolences. General Marshall died to protect more than 20,000 American soldiers. He died with honor and is a role model for our soldiers!" The major general saw Roosevelt's bloodshot eyes and carefully advised him.  , he could deeply understand that Roosevelt was very sad about Marshall's death.

    "General Hanks, what's the matter?" Roosevelt raised his head and asked. This general was Major General Hanks who originally wanted to lead the army to support the city of San Jose.

    Hanks had a muscular body and a strong body. When Roosevelt asked, Hanks stepped forward and said, "An urgent message from the president."

    "An urgent message from the President?" A flash of light flashed in Roosevelt's eyes, and he seemed to have returned to his original peak state. At this time, the President's urgent message must be a very important thing.

    "Bring it over and show it to me!" This time Roosevelt was particularly solemn.

    Hanks bowed and respectfully delivered this important telegram to Roosevelt.

    When Roosevelt unfolded the telegram and read it, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. Hanks clearly saw a drop of tears overflowing from the corner of Roosevelt's eye. What intelligence made Roosevelt lose his composure?

    Hanks was shocked. Could it be bad news?

    "Your Excellency Minister" Hanks hesitated to speak.

    Roosevelt waved his hand and said, "You go out first!"

    Hanks did not dare to ask any more questions, so he nodded. When he left the room, he looked back one more time and found that Roosevelt was staring blankly at the telegram in front of him, as if he was in a daze.  Hanks didn't dare to speak anymore and gently helped Roosevelt close the door.

    After a long time, Roosevelt gave a self-deprecating smile and said to himself: "During my term as president, I had been trying my best to supervise this matter. I did not hesitate to increase the huge budget, and finally shortened the construction period a lot. However, the project was huge.  After the Sino-American War broke out, it was still not completed, which caused the United States to lose a lot of fighter planes, but I didn't expect that it was completed at this time. Wilson is really a fool. In this way, wouldn't it be an advantage to Tang Jian?  "

    After making fun of himself, Roosevelt looked up to the sky and sighed: "Tang Jian, you are so lucky!"

    San Francisco, Chinese Army, Navy and Air Force Command Headquarters.

    In the headquarters, the faces of the generals of the Chinese navy, land and air force have always been filled with joyful smiles. This smile has not weakened since the capture of San Francisco and the complete annihilation of the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet. It can be seen that the victory of the landing day operation has great influence on China.  Talk about an unprecedented victory.

    This is the second time that China has completely wiped out the white fleet after defeating Russia. This was almost impossible before. Since the 19th century, the yellow race has been playing the role of being bullied and invaded by the white race.  Humans have always been considered an inferior race by white people. The fact that yellow people cannot beat white people seems to be a curse that has been lingering on the people of various Asian countries for more than a hundred years.

    However, since the founding of China, this curse has been broken time and again. After so many foreign wars, China has finally made the European powers dare not underestimate it. China has officially become one of the world's powerful countries, and it is also the only country in the world composed of  The country established by the yellow race has the capital for equal dialogue with European countries, and that is military strength.

    Although China is not yet an economic power, it has declared to the world through several foreign wars that China is a world-class military power.

    Such a huge achievement, how could it not make the Chinese generals smile crookedly!

    Not long ago, the generals of the navy and army in San Francisco received orders from Tang Jian and came to this temporary headquarters to attend an important meeting. Even the three field marshals Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, and Cao Kun from Hawaii were also on board.  The cruisers came day and night.

    This is the first such large-scale military meeting since the last pre-war meeting in Hawaii. Everyone in the meeting room knew very well that this must be preparation for the president's plan to launch a large-scale attack on the United States.

    At this time, Tang Jian had not come yet, and many generals in the conference room who had not seen each other for a long time gathered together to chat happily.

    Feng Guozhang smiled and said: "Marshal Ye, Marshal Cheng, this time your Pacific Fleet took the greatest credit. It not only captured San Francisco, but also completely annihilated the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet. It is really very satisfying!"

    Cheng Biguang smiled, and Ye Zugui said modestly:"What the hell, we are just attracting firepower this time. The real meritorious service is our air force officers!" As he spoke, Ye Zugui turned his attention to Air Force Major General Liu Wenqing.

    Liu Wenqing shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the Pacific Fleet attracting firepower from San Francisco's coastal defense positions at sea, and General Zhu Lianjie disrupting the position of the defenders in San Francisco, our Air Force's dozen or so planes would really be gone.  It is possible to break through the U.S. military¡¯s air blockade and bomb the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet in San Francisco Harbor!¡±

    The generals of the three armies laughed. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that this huge victory was the result of the close cooperation of the generals of the three armies.

    ¡°The president is here!¡± At this time, Major General Chu Zhaoliang, the submarine commander on the side, reminded.

    Everyone turned around and saw Tang Jian striding towards the conference room, followed by presidential guard Chen Chusheng. Tang Jian laughed heartily: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time!"

    The generals smiled knowingly and said hello to Tang Jian one after another.

    Tang Jian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. The generals knew that the president was going to announce a new battle plan, so they all sat on both sides of the long conference table according to their own military branches.

    Tang Jian coughed twice and was about to speak. Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from outside. The generals looked up and saw that CIA Director Lee Gates had arrived late. He was walking in and saying hello to everyone.  .

    Lee Gates said with joy: "President, I have great news here!"~
