After this great air battle, Japan's air defense was completely open. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since then, the Japanese have never organized large-scale interceptions. On the one hand, this was due to the fact that the Japanese had suffered too many losses in the air battle on that day -- in this great air battle, the Japanese lost 1,500 of the more than 2,000 fighters they had sorted, and it was also because the Japanese had insufficient resources. The Japanese still have airplanes, but they don't have much fuel left for combat. Since the Philippines was recaptured by the U.S. military, the Japanese lost their oil supply. Nowadays, the Japanese use a little less fuel, and they can't help but be careful.

The base camp has now completely lost confidence in seizing air supremacy through air combat. They believe that the only point of the existence of air power now is to launch a kamikaze attack on the American fleet. And the amount of fuel left in Japan was only enough to support a few large-scale kamikaze assaults.

As a result, in the ensuing series of escort operations, Ron's fighter pilots found that they had become more and more run out of things to do. As a result, it was suggested that low-altitude safaris should be carried out on a wide range of low-altitude safaris over Japan, based on the experience of Europe in Japan.

"I guess most of the Japanese don't have enough fuel, and now when they go out on safaris, they won't meet Japanese planes flying." "However, the main purpose of our Japanese safari was not to attack Japanese fighters, but to disrupt and disrupt Japanese ground transportation. Recently, citizens have fled the cities, and it seems that the Japanese are planning to move some of their production to the countryside. As a result, there are bound to be plenty of transport vehicles on the roads of Japan...... Well, note that the Japanese don't have a lot of cars and no gasoline to consume, so transportation in Japan should be more dependent on animal-powered vehicles or even human-powered vehicles. Hitting such small targets, bombers are not very easy to come in, fighters are more convenient. ”

"General, our airfield is still a little far away from Japan, and with the limitation of the number of airfields, I think it will be difficult for us to achieve the same results as we did in Europe." Said an officer.

"Well, of course, even if we have enough airfields and enough planes, the Japanese will not have enough targets to hit us. Hehe, you see, the generals are already thinking about the Japanese carriages, and when we were in Europe, we probably never dreamed that we would fly for hours and then bully a poor old horse with advanced weapons such as cannons, rockets, and bombs. Another officer also interjected, "I really can't figure it out, it's all reached such a point, why haven't the Japanese surrendered?" ”

"It's so normal. Didn't the Germans resist to the end? Those fascists are all goods who don't cry when they don't see the coffin. Ron spoke. Now because the situation is very good, when the tactical discussion is held, the officers who are completely free of pressure often tilt the stairs slightly when discussing things, and sometimes Ron, as the chief officer, will get involved.

"It seems that we can only prepare to land in Japan and besiege Tokyo." One officer said, "We're going to have to grab this bastard Hirohito, tar him in the ass, put feathers on him, put him on display on Pennsylvania Street, and then hang this bastard upside down on a telephone pole, like Mussolini did." ”

"Not necessarily, Hirohito is not the same as Mussolini or Hitler. Hitler was the one who directly planned, initiated, and commanded all kinds of war operations, and he could not find a scapegoat. Even if he surrendered, he could not escape punishment. So Hitler had to stubbornly resist to the end. But Hirohito is different, he is a guy hiding behind the scenes, and there is a scapegoat in front of him. For example, Hideki Tojo at the time of the war was a good scapegoat. Now it's just that they still have fantasies, and on the day of landing, maybe that bastard Hirohito will be the first to jump out and say to us: 'American friends, I'll show you the way to catch Hideki Tojo, who started this evil war!' ’”

The Japanese propaganda apparatus no longer talks about winning the victory, and this kind of propaganda can no longer deceive people. A few years ago, the Japanese would have believed in the propaganda of the "Midway victory" and held a lantern parade for it, but now, the daily arrival of American heavy bombers, and the American fighter jets that scurry around and attack all kinds of vehicles, have made any propaganda about the victory of the Imperial Army a joke. Therefore, the current Japanese radio and newspapers are discussing one word in unison: "100 million total jade pieces".

The purpose of this kind of militarist clamor is actually nothing more than two, one is that those militarists want to tie up more people to bury them when they are desperate. This is what all militarists have in common, and when these guys gain power, they will use things like, "We are a superior nation, and it is God's historical mission to rule over other inferior nations," and "It is a crime against mankind that the most fertile land on the earth is occupied by those inferior peoples." We must change that" and so on to fool the common people into going to the fire for them. And once the war situation is unfavorable, they will either directly order the destruction of all the infrastructure that the people rely on for survival, and curse them, saying that "those really good people have died on the battlefield, and the rest are some scum who are not worthy of survival", and directly use violent means to let the whole nation bury him, or continue to brainwash, deceive the people to collectively "break jade", and even directly use knives to force them to jump off the cliff to "martyr".

As for the other purpose, it is to increase the casualties of the opponent by deceiving the common people to resist to the death, and then use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for the conditions for allowing him to escape punishment. The greater purpose of Japan's "100 million total jade fragments" is actually here.

As a matter of fact, some high-level Japanese leaders hope to inflict great damage on the Americans, but they do not dare to really inflict too much damage on the Americans. In fact, the Japanese had in their hands weapons that were stronger than the kamikaze -- the plague and anthrax of the Kwantung Army's immunization and water supply troops were really taken out, tied to balloons, and floated along the westerly wind to the United States, which was definitely a hundred times stronger than throwing mortar shells with balloons. However, the top of Japan really did not dare. If you don't do this, you can throw a few scapegoats out after the defeat, if you really want to do this, then there is really only one way to go, those who have never had a good life may really be willing to "jade broken", but those guys who are from the Chinese nationality and rich countries who really have a good life but really want to "jade broken"?

Therefore, while shouting, the Japanese went through the Soviet Union and wanted to negotiate conditions with the allies to make a conditional surrender. But their asking price is too high, and they are too weak on the battlefield. For example, in the Battle of Okinawa, due to the large losses in the previous air battles and the suppression of the US army's safari aircraft group, the performance of the "kamikaze" was far less than Ron's original historical effect. The Soviet Union, which ended the European War earlier than in its original history, also launched an attack on the Japanese army entrenched in the northeast ahead of schedule. Although the Japanese resistance was more tenacious than in the original history, they were still defeated.

At this time, the progress of the atomic bomb, which ended the war in its original history, had not been accelerated accordingly, and it had not yet had time to be prepared. As a result, the U.S. military began to make serious preparations for a landing operation on the Japanese mainland. However, Ron knew that such a large-scale landing would take a long time, and it was estimated that by the time it was ready, the American atomic bomb should also come out.

So Ron wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the landing, and now his mind was on his post-war path.

As the youngest general of the U.S. Army Aviation, continuing to stay in the army should be a good future for individuals. But if history does not change drastically, it won't be long before China and the United States go to war on the Korean Peninsula, and if they continue to stay in the American ** team, well, the problem will be very troublesome. Moreover, if you take into account the McCarthyism that will inevitably appear after the war, not to mention the relationship between yourself and Nadya, even the obviously pro-communist second brother in her own family will bring you a lot of trouble. Therefore, staying in the army is not necessarily a very good option for Ron. Perhaps, leaving the army and moving into business is a better option.

Ron thought carefully about what he would be able to do if he moved into business. First of all, he has a lot of contacts in military circles, whether it is the Army, the Navy, or the Air Force, which will soon be released. Moreover, he is also very familiar with the direction of future military technology, and he already has shares in an arms company, so being an arms dealer is probably the best choice.

……

Beijing, 1984.

As Reagan's entourage, Ron and his wife came to China again and began selling weapons to the Chinese about the company's weapons under his name. By this time, the United States and China had come close to becoming non-aligned allies. Arms sales to China have become an aspect of US policy toward China.

A general about 70 years old was carefully looking at the information in his hand, and after a long time, he raised his head and asked Ron: "Husband Ron, can the price of this vertically launched anti-aircraft missile, this kind of carrier-based helicopter, and this kind of hanging sonar and light anti-submarine torpedo produced by your company be lowered a little?" Is it also possible to provide technology transfer? ”。

"Ah, Commander Liu, I know that your country has a limited amount of hard currency, but the price we are proposing is already very cheap." "As for technology transfer, we can talk about it as well. However, I think it hurts too much to talk about money, so let's talk about it...... So if it goes well, we'll be able to close the whole deal by '88. It's a win-win situation for all of us, isn't it? ”。
