Chapter 491 America vs. the World
¡°The United States of America versus the world!¡±
As the content of the five-party talks gradually became public internationally, the Washington Post published such a striking and scary headline on its front page on December 5.
In this Amsterdam conference that was witnessed by the whole world, except for Japan, which is at war with the United States, the words and deeds of the remaining four countries, without exception, showed strong hostility towards the United States. "Eurasia belongs to the Eurasians." The slogan "Eurasia" clearly states the position of all parties: to completely drive out American power from the Eurasian continent.
During the ten days or so that the meeting was held in late November and early December, as the meeting progressed, the five countries revealed increasingly strong hostility toward the United States. The domestic financial market in the United States was also in chaos, and the international exchange rate of the U.S. dollar became even more volatile. It's a plummet across the board. Despite official support, the dollar's exchange rate still fell by 20%.
¡°No matter how powerful the United States of America is, it cannot be the enemy of the whole world!¡±
Such voices began to sound in the United States, and the Dewey government came under tremendous political pressure from the public. Folk criticism was mainly directed at President Dewey's foreign policy, which was believed to be too rigid and pushed all the powerful countries in Eurasia into opposition.
President Dewey, who has become the target of public criticism, is aware of his own suffering.
In the three years since the war broke out, the United States of America under his leadership has been working hard to find allies internationally. For several countries that may help Japan, China, Germany, Britain, and the Soviet Union have made a lot of benefits, benefits, and commitments, but these countries all have the same face: take the benefits. A firm stance remains unchanged, but in the blink of an eye, one's position changes.
It¡¯s not that President Dewey doesn¡¯t want to unite vertically and horizontally, it¡¯s that these countries are simply determined to be enemies of the United States.
And the key reason for this is still the "six million tons", or the fact that the United States is too big, so big that these countries are so conflicted with each other. Seeing the power of his "six million tons" navy, they all had to put aside their mutual hatred and join forces to fight against the United States.
The world¡¯s unity depends on American imperialism, and the United States is playing such a role now.
An even more fatal blow was yet to come. On December 15, the three South American powers, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, jointly made demands to the United States at the same time, claiming that the international exchange rate of the U.S. dollar had plummeted. It has caused huge losses to the foreign exchange inventories of the three countries. In order to reduce the losses, the three countries have requested to temporarily end the settlement method of US dollars for trade with the United States and change it to pounds sterling or other methods with a relatively stable currency value.
For the United States of America, this is another blow that adds insult to injury.
But the bigger blow is yet to come.
On December 11, the White House in Washington received news that a force consisted of two Soviet-class battleships and two aircraft carriers, escorted by eight destroyers. Entered the Suez Canal on this day. As a traffic artery linking maritime navigation between Europe and Asia, the Suez Canal has long been the subject of key surveillance by the United States. Soviet Navy on its first day entering the Suez Canal. The traces were discovered by the Americans.
Intelligence shows that these warships are from the Soviet Atlantic Fleet. During this sensitive period, the Soviet Union has sent its navy to the east, and its combat intentions are self-evident.
What happened in the next few days frightened Americans even more.
Long before the Amsterdam conference. Britain's last battleship and the largest battleship, HMS Britannia, was announced for service in early November. After the news of the Soviet navy passing through the Suez Canal came out, the British government also made a high-profile announcement. They will move the Britannia towards Asia.
When the news was announced, the ship had disappeared from public view for a month, and no one knew the specific whereabouts of this giant ship. What is even more worrying is that in the past month, other large ships in the UK, like the Britannia, have all gone "unknown."
And on December 20, another unfortunate news came. The remaining two battleships and four newly built aircraft carriers of the German Navy also entered the Suez Canal on this day.
According to various intelligence reports, the British Navy had all six battleships launched after 1941. Except for the George V, the remaining five battleships, plus ten aircraft carriers, had all been taken down after December. Transferred to Asia or on the way to Asia. Only one USS George V and two armored aircraft carriers with a small aircraft capacity remain on the mainland.On the German side, the Germans unceremoniously sent most of the German navy's assets: all four battleships, eight new aircraft carriers, plus most of the anti-aircraft cruisers and destroyers, to Asia.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To play the leading role in Germany, there are only a few merchant ships converted into escort carriers and an old-fashioned pocket battleship.
The Italians, the troublemakers in Europe, were not willing to be left alone in the joint operation of these three companies. They dispatched several cruisers and destroyers to also participate in the operation. However, now Italy is half-dead like France, and its international presence is very poor. When the news of the Italians' dispatch was published in American newspapers, it was thrown into a very inconspicuous corner by the editor.
Britain, Germany and the Soviet Union have transferred all the main naval forces in the Atlantic to the East. This approach has openly demonstrated their strong hostility towards the United States.
The three major naval powers of the Old World have transferred most of their assets to the Pacific Ocean. This can be said to be the largest naval transfer in the history of the earth. The Washington Post is worried about the situation of "the United States against the whole world". It's about to become a reality.
On Christmas Day in 1945, the entire United States was shrouded in a gloomy and bleak atmosphere. Although as of this month, the U.S. Navy has received a total of thirty-three Essex-class aircraft carriers, one more than expected. In addition, there are twelve Independence-class aircraft carriers, one South Dakota-class battleship (the USS Massachusetts after salvage and repair), four Iowa-class battleships, and four Montana-class battleships. And next year, the more powerful Midway aircraft carrier will be launched. It will also be put into service one after another.
The South Dakota-class battleship and two repaired Essex-class aircraft carriers that were sunk in the Battle of San Francisco and repaired were placed outside the Atlantic Ocean, and the remaining battleships were all placed in the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the cruisers and destroyers built by American shipyards in the past three years have been deployed in the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, more than 170 escort aircraft carriers are accompanying them.
In the Pacific, the U.S. Navy far exceeds the total number of its opponents in terms of the number of warships and aircraft it can dispatch.
Although on paper the U.S. Navy still has an absolute numerical advantage over the "Eurasian Combined Navy". But the vast majority of Americans do not believe that the U.S. Navy can win if it starts a war with five "god-like" countries at the same time (Note: Although the presence of the Chinese Navy is very poor. But Americans believe that Lin Han will definitely be like a year ago) Join the German Navy as part of the war)
The main fleets of Britain, Germany and the Soviet Union are still in the process of being mobilized to East Asia, and the United States is already in a panic because of this news.
Because a large number of investors were not optimistic about the outcome of this war, they sold stocks and tried every means to transfer assets and evacuate the United States. This situation started very early, but reached its peak in the last month of 1945.
One week before Christmas in 1945, the U.S. stock market suffered a "black week". A large number of panic selling occurred. Various major industrial stocks and financial stocks fell by 3% in a few days. Fifteen or so, it was not until the "holiday holiday" when Christmas came that the stock market's crazy leaks were temporarily stopped.
In the last days of 1945. The vast majority of people in the United States, whether it is confidence in the war, confidence in the stock market, or confidence in the country of America, have all fallen to the lowest point in history.
At this time, Americans, no matter how dull they are, can see that the current Pacific War is no longer a simple one-on-one battle between the United States and Japan, but a war between the New World and the Old World. It is a war between the isolated and helpless United States. The war of the United States against the whole world.
In the last ten days of 1945. Washington urgently dispatched several special envoys to fly across the Atlantic to visit Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union. He made "emergency collusion" with the heads of the three countries in an attempt to prevent the three countries from intervening in the war taking place in the North Pacific.
"The end of the Garden of Eden has come!"
The war between the Old World and the New World has not really broken out yet, but many Americans have already collapsed mentally.
On Christmas Day 1945, the entire United States was lifeless. The Dewey administration pulled out all the stops, and it was another New Year's address. They also ordered "patriotic organizations" such as the Concerned Knights, Scavengers, and the Ku Klux Klan to launch various patriotic movements, but they were never able to inspire public confidence in this war.
Before the war started, the United States had already lost its ambition and harmony.
In response to the increasingly bad strategic environment in the United States, the Du administration has taken another military action in addition to its last-ditch diplomatic efforts. It means massing a large army to press the border between the United States and Canada, and constantly carrying out provocative military oppression to put pressure on the British.
In the last few days of Christmas, American planes continued to fly across the U.S-Canada border and enter Canadian airspace to carry out spying and reconnaissance.Such provocative behavior. The Canadian government was extremely frightened by this. On the one hand, they issued protests to the United States, and on the other hand, they also sought help from their sovereign country, the United Kingdom.
Militarily, the Americans demonstrated force against the United Kingdom by suppressing Canada. However, politically and diplomatically, the U.S. envoy who was visiting the United Kingdom was sending a peace signal to the United Kingdom, saying that the United States could fully withdraw from the Western Pacific after defeating Japan, and at the same time promised the United Kingdom All interests in the Western Pacific.
The Americans¡¯ ¡°submissiveness¡± in diplomacy has really confused many British lawmakers, but Arturia does not want to let go of the bowstring that has been fully drawn.
Arturia warned the compromising MPs in the UK: "This is the last chance for our British Empire to severely inflict a heavy blow on the United States and ensure our global naval hegemony. With the four combined fleets of Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union and Japan, the empire has tried its best, but no one knows how much it has paid. , to unite these four countries, it will be impossible to organize such a joint fleet next time!¡±
Arturia knows very well that it is simply impossible to assemble such a "United Nations fleet" to deal with the United States again.
Arturia's goal is to eliminate this huge "six million tons" threat in the Pacific once and for all through a battle. If this threat is not completely addressed, the United States will retreat today and come back again in a year or two. How do you ask her to organize another multinational coalition navy?
At that time, she yelled bluntly in front of everyone:
"We, Britain, Germany and the Soviet Navy crossed half the world and swam 10,000 nautical miles to the North Pacific. It was not for such a peace agreement that forced the United States to retreat. Our goal was to eliminate the United States. The Navy has completely shattered America¡¯s maritime dream!¡±
In the end, the U.S. envoy hit a wall on the British side. The British rejected the U.S. envoy by putting forward conditions they could not accept: requiring the U.S. Navy to cease the war and then return to the mainland. This is a plan that the Americans cannot accept now.
On the German side, the U.S. envoy also hit a wall. On Stalin's side, Stalin also refused to retreat and withdraw his troops at this time.
He was so determined that he transferred the nascent Soviet navy to Asia. In addition to adding actual combat experience to the Soviet Red Navy, another reason is for the Soviet heroes.
After the Holy Shock, the heroic spirit of the Soviet Union, which Stalin had been seeking for so long, only showed up once on the anniversary of the October Revolution, and then disappeared without a trace.
During the Amsterdam meeting, Lin Han and Stalin, who secretly attended the meeting, met. He told Stalin the good news that the Soviet heroes who sank on the shipwreck in the Tsushima Strait had reached a very high level of maturity. Whether it can truly be born depends on an opportunity.
Stalin could be persuaded by the British to participate in this war that had "little to do" with the Soviet Union. One reason was that the "five-million-ton" U.S. Navy at home made Stalin extremely uncomfortable, and the other reason was for the heroic souls of the Soviet Union.
After the start of the Holy Impact, Stalin saw the end of the ideological chaos in countries without heroic souls to "protect the country". The reason why the Soviet Union not only survived this impact unscathed but also restored national strength and increased cohesion was precisely because of the anniversary of the October Revolution. The scene where the Soviet heroic spirit suddenly appeared and saluted him made the whole Soviet Union believe that the Soviet heroic spirit really existed.
A country without heroic spirits cannot become a real "big country". After the Holy Impact, this has become the "consensus" of the whole world. The chaos in the United States is the best example.
Stalin was going crazy because he wanted a real heroic spirit. For this heroic spirit, he was willing to pay the price of sinking four main battleships in active service.
Chapter 500 Ace Combat
Fifty years after the end of the Hokkaido air battle, New China released a war chess game called "Old Continent vs. New Continent". The penultimate level of the campaign mission in the game was called "Eagle Over Hokkaido."
Players who choose the Old European side, the task in this level is that their aviation units will face five consecutive waves of enemy aircraft attacks, and the total amount of the opponent's flying units in each wave is several times that of the player's side. Easy difficulty is twice as difficult on the player's side, Normal mode is three times as difficult, and Hell mode is five times as difficult. During the game, the opponent will also throw atomic bombs to open map cannons and destroy the player's land-based airports and anti-aircraft artillery positions. In the easy mode, you throw one atomic bomb, in the normal mode, you throw two atomic bombs, and in the hell difficulty, you throw a terrifying five atomic bombs.
If the party that chooses the Old World Eurasian Allied Forces wants to successfully pass the level, it must intercept the opponent's B29 carrying the atomic bomb and prevent its nuclear attack from succeeding. Otherwise, if the mission fails, it will not be able to enter the main plot of the last level. Can play a more difficult nightmare scenario: the Eurasian Union disintegrates, the Soviet Union sides with the United States, China, Britain, Germany and JapanThe Japanese army faced a combined attack from the US and Soviet forces, and was eventually forced to play the nightmare-level mission of defending Japan.
??And if players choose the New World, although there are a massive 8 carrier-based aircraft during the game, they will have to face a bunch of scoundrel jet fighters that are running rampant in their own fleet and are difficult to intercept. The task of the player who chooses the New World side in this level is to cover b29 in dropping the atomic bomb to the designated location within the specified round.
If players can successfully complete the mission, they will be able to enter the final main plot: the Eurasian Union disintegrates, the Soviet Union sides with the United States, and China, Britain, Germany, and Japan face a joint attack by the United States and the Soviet Union. Once the mission fails, it will enter the final stage of the hell-level plot: the United States in the New World faces the siege of the five-nation coalition of China, the Soviet Union, Britain, Germany, and Japan, and then has to fight the mission of defending the United States.
In this game, whether players choose the Old Continent or the New Continent, players will be deeply impressed by a Chinese aviation force called the "Seventh Air Division" in the game.
The 7th Air Division representing China will appear in the fifth round after the start of this level. In the troop formation, the aircraft are in twelve formations, each formation has ten aircraft. One of them is a small five-star m262 formation. It means that there are ace pilots in the formation.
When the player clicks on this formation with the mouse, in the page that pops up, there is a plane numbered "13" with ten shining gold stars painted on its head. The captain's aircraft is the "strongest ace fighter" in this game, and it is also the most powerful one in this game. The only pilot to reach ten stars.
In the game, the comprehensive data about this ace fighter is introduced as follows.
Model: m262 jet combat interceptor (at this level, the nose of the me262 is painted in eye-catching beige based on historical facts)
Pilot: Li Huamei (ten-star god-level pilot). Nicknamed Blue 13, Red Eagle
Weapons: 0mmmk203 machine gun with 12 bullets (note: the same m262 miscellaneous machine gun has only 6 bullets)
213mmmg131 machine gun has 16 bullets (note: the same m262 miscellaneous aircraft has only 8 bullets)
Anti-air: 100 (100 is the full value. The second-highest-ranked ace pilot in the game, the nine-star pilot Marcelo, also has an anti-air index of only 95)
Air defense: 90 (90 is the highest value of air defense for air units in the game)
Attack bonus: 100% (other ace bonuses in the game are usually only between 40% and 80, and the second ace, Marseille, is 85%)
Anti-armor: 30 (referring to the attack power of 30 machine guns against ground armored targets, and the combat aircraft only has 15) 8 (referring to the attack power of 13mm machine guns against ground armored targets)
Ground defense: 40 (referring to the ability to defend against anti-aircraft artillery attacks)
Attack speed: 100 (the higher the attack speed, the higher the priority in firing against enemies in the game)
Evasion rate: 95%
Enemy detection distance: 5 grids (other flying units, except for reconnaissance aircraft, usually only have three grids)
In the game. No matter which side the player chooses, if they want to pass this level, rational use or shooting down or forcing back this blue 13 is the most critical factor.
In the game, the me262 formation that Li Huamei belongs to is the air force unit with the strongest air combat capabilities in the game. And the me262 driven by Li Huamei himself is almost like a bug in the game.
Because of its 100% attack bonus, it has a double attack rate when fighting opponents in aerial combat. At the same time, the ammunition consumption is only half of that of the same hybrid aircraft (so the number of ammunition is twice that of others).
The highest attack speed ensures that it always fires first, which greatly consumes the opponent.
In addition, the ace pilot's stunts also include: Unparalleled (the enemy has no attack bonus when surrounded by enemy units. Our defense does not decrease), Inspiration (increases the comprehensive combat power index of friendly aircraft and its close game units, rising by 10 %), long attack (the attack distance is increased by one, you can hit opponents without long attack skills in vain), critical hit (there is a 30% chance of doubling the attack power when attacking), these are the four most precious ace stunts.
Coupled with the cheating evasion rate of up to 95%, it ensures that it can easily leave the battlefield and return to the airport to resupply when the ammunition is exhausted.
Choose a player from the Old Continent. If you don't choose China, you will have to rack your brains to guide the programmed "Blue 13" in the direction of the B29 nuclear attack aircraft to pass the test. Use it to attract and destroy a large number of enemy fighters to find loopholes for your own side.
Players who choose the side of the New World must do everything possible to lure this blue 13 away from the battlefield if they want to pass the test.
As for shooting her down? In a pure air battle, it is almost impossible to fight any of her own aircraft groups in her formation. Basically, they are all crippled in one blow, and it is common to be completely wiped out in one wave.
The only possibility of shooting her down is to lure her into the air defense fire network of our own warships to take advantage of the only 500% chance, but this is very difficult.
When players fight against this NPC in the game, they often have to use s/l to save and load files crazily (Crab) cheat repeatedly.
In the game, Li Huamei¡¯s game unit often tortures players who choose the American side of the New World until they die. But in the air battle on March 30th, Li Huamei, who flew the me262, was far from as glorious as in the game. He played "one machine against a thousand" in unparalleled mode.
As usual, the M262 fighter plane she flew was modified by Lin Han for her. The fuselage material used titanium alloy made from the power of massive faith as the key material to reduce weight and increase structural strength.
To save weight, the bulletproof seats are made of precious Kevlar fiber.
The 13mm machine gun matched with the long-barreled mk203 machine gun was selected and tested repeatedly beforehand. The high-quality product matched with the mk203 machine gun ensures that the flight trajectory of the 13mm bullet and the ballistic trajectory of the 30mm machine gun are the most likely when firing. ground close.
The first round of the battle in the sky. Li Huamei was also stunned by the enemy and our aircraft that were as dense as a school of fish in the sky at that time.
First, the aircraft climbed hard to gain altitude advantage and accumulate energy. Compared with 8 Pirates, jet fighters have more obvious advantages at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Then Li Huamei relied on his perception to observe the battlefield situation, selected the attack range, and then led the formation to control the aircraft to swoop down.
First, the two 13mm cannons performed "correction" firing and burst fire, and after obtaining the correction data. She waited for the right moment to press the cannon button.
Her approach is no different from those experienced jet pilots on the battlefield.
If there is any difference, it is just that her hit accuracy is very high. After the machine gun is calibrated, it only takes two or three shots at most to hit the opponent.
The mk203 cannon shells designed to fight heavy bombers have high muzzle velocity and high power. The 8 hit by Li Huamei is often finished after just one shot.
In the air battle, Li Huamei also drove the me262 very "roughly" and played h-h-r (high-hit-n) tactics among the enemy aircraft. Even the simplest rolling maneuver is rarely performed.
Since there were too many aircraft on the battlefield and the air combat airspace was large and thick, Li Huamei's jet formation swooped down in a wave and used a ram-style attack to pass through the entire air combat battlefield without turning its nose too much. , naturally countless enemy planes were "automatically" sent to her guns.
In order to prevent friendly aircraft from being disrupted by the chaotic battlefield, when conducting a high-altitude dive and hammer attack. These jet fighters tried their best not to change the direction of their noses, and all charged in a straight line in one direction. Try to act in unison as much as possible to avoid fragmentation.
This group-style hammer attack tactic is the most effective method for new jet fighters to defeat traditional live (crab) plug fighters. The flight formations of China, Britain and Germany all used this tactic.
According to the coalition's vision, the traditional live (crab) fighter jet is a felt board, responsible for entangling the enemy's 8, while the jet fighter is a hammer. Relying on the performance advantages, you can fully control the initiative in air combat and choose the battlefield according to your needs. Find a location where the enemy aircraft fleet is relatively weak and concentrate your forces for assault operations. Just play a wave and leave. After leaving, immediately climb up to recharge and come back to fight again.
This air combat tactic couldn¡¯t be simpler, but it is the most efficient method most suitable for this battlefield with extremely dense aircraft, and it is also the most troublesome air combat method for the opponent.
As the wave penetrated the entire combat airspace, Li Huamei shot more than ten times and shot down two 8-8s. One was seriously injured. Then she climbed up again, accumulated energy, and dived to attack again. After shooting down two more 8-8s, she flew back and began to return to resupply.
Compared with 8, me262 is far superior to its opponent in terms of speed, climbing height, dive speed and climbing rate. As long as the pilot of me262 insists on this hammer-style style of play and doesn't have a headache and engages in fighting with 8, it will be almost impossible for 8 to bite the opponent and shoot him down.
But in an air battle with such a high density of aircraft, jet fighters are not invincible. When nearly 3,000 planes gather together to attack each other, stray bullets are flying everywhere in the sky. When you bite others and shoot, others often also aim and shoot at you. As strong as Li Huamei, when two high-speed piercing attacks penetrated the battlefield, her aircraft was also targeted and shot by her opponents, and the stray bullets flying in the air also hit her me262 many times.
At 10:05, only 25 minutes after takeoff, Li Huamei returned in me262. In this sortie, excluding the time she took off, arrived at the battlefield, and returned to land at the airport, she was actually in the air for only five minutes.
Each me262 cannon is equipped with 132 rounds of ammunition. When burst firing, six shells are fired per shot, and a total of 22 shots can be fired. There are slightly more 13mm machine guns, but each machine gun only has 220 rounds of ammunition. When returning, Li Huamei only had two mg131 machine guns left with more than 60 rounds of ammunition each.
When the aircraft was undergoing ground maintenance, six bullet holes were discovered in its fuselage, all of which were hit by stray bullets during air combat.After leaving the slightly damaged aircraft to be repaired by the ground crew, Li Huamei did not take any rest. Just like when she participated in the air battle in Shanghai and Hangzhou ten years ago, she jumped on the backup fighter plane that had been prepared for her and continued to fly the aircraft.
When Li Huamei landed and took off, there were eight 290s patrolling and covering the airport at any time. This was to prevent American planes from taking the opportunity to come over and guard the airport to attack the landing aircraft.
At 10:28, Li Huamei returned earlier than the last sortie. She brought back three crashes and twelve bullet holes in the fuselage. There was also an engine problem on one side of the aircraft. That was During the air battle, an aircraft 8 fired randomly at her aircraft from a distance of 800 meters and hit her blindly, slightly damaging her left engine.
When evacuating the battlefield, her condition was even a bit embarrassing. After the nearby US aircraft discovered that her me262 was injured and emitting black smoke, they swarmed over like sharks smelling the smell of blood.
Fortunately, her aircraft was in a dive to leave the battlefield at that time. Although the engine on one side was damaged, the high speed brought by converting the potential energy accumulated in the previous climb into kinetic energy allowed her to temporarily throw away the four 8s that were following her. While her opponent was unwilling to pursue her aircraft, she was chased away by friendly aircraft coming to rescue her from other directions, and was forced to give up this tempting target.
This was the closest Li Huamei came to being shot down in the air battle that day. In later games, Li Huamei's "No. 13" aircraft, whose nose was painted beige, was almost as cheating and difficult to shoot down. But in reality, she, the number one ace, scored a large number of kills. At the same time, he was also very embarrassed on the battlefield.
Even her, a super ace who had turned on the cheat device and flew the best plane, had encountered danger. This shows how fierce and cruel the air battle was that day.
In the skies over Hokkaido that day, planes were shot down every minute, and the sky was filled with parachute flowers from the downed pilots of both sides parachuting. It is not uncommon for pilots from both sides to use collision tactics and strafe enemy parachuting pilots in air battles. There has even been a "low probability" event that a plane in an air battle collided with a parachute floating in the air because the density of the aircraft was too high.
