Chapter 1854: Aircraft Carrier Battle Group
Because it was necessary to arrange personnel to escort the saboteurs, send Zheng Shuming to the lake where the seaplane took off, and confirm the effect of the explosion by the way, when all this was done, it was already night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info night slowly deepened, he arrived at the camp, the headquarters was still brightly lit, a dozen telegraphs, half of them did not move, this was the previous contact with Japan, after the completion of the saboteur deal, their role has been achieved, at most until tomorrow, except for one to continue to contact Japan, as a transit backup, the rest will be turned to other uses.
Tomorrow's bombing mission will be very heavy, and the special forces will need to guide those planes, and they will need to be divided into a dozen different teams, all of which will carry radios, and the 18 will not be responsible for one channel each, but one will be responsible for several.
After the Japanese completed the destruction of the Pacific Railway, they should have left immediately, with the troops now mobilized by the United States, they had to force them to leave, as long as they bought two or three days, under the reconnaissance of the planes, looking for the weak links of the American army, after crossing the Missouri River, everything was smooth, and it was almost certain that all the troops would leave.
After the success of this sneak attack, especially after seeing the emptiness in the United States, Kawasaki began to have new ideas, the formation of the Sakura Plan itself, on the one hand, was his whim, on the other hand, it was not the persecution of the Americans, the strong pressure of the United States, so that Japan had to think of other ways, using the method of using troops on the side, suppressing the United States, so that the United States could not devote all its strength, in fact, from the success of the Sakura Plan, the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff was almost a hype, Many local officials and low-level military officers questioned why the center had sent troops to Europe and Alaska, and if there was a strong mobile force on the U.S. border, maybe it wouldn't have happened.
Not to mention the Pacific Railroad, a railway that runs through the east and west of the United States, up to now, the United States still does not have a railroad that can replace the important role of this railway, once it is cut off, the political and economic impact on the United States is very huge, it can be said that as soon as this railway is cut off, the entire US government and opposition will be shaken, and it will be blinded from top to bottom.
Even if we don't talk about the railway, the Japanese army attacked more than a dozen cities along the way to attack the railway, and these cities in the central part are not too big, even if it is Salt Lake City, that is, tens of thousands of people, but similar small American cities, at least thirty or forty have been attacked, plus some villages and settlements, at least hundreds of thousands of people have been hit by war, which is unimaginable for the United States, at least since the Civil War, the United States itself has not suffered a war.
Japan did not deliberately massacre, but the war still has to kill people, they don't even care much about their own lives, let alone other people's lives, when they first attacked the city, they always fought more unrestrainedly, in the process of this attack, tens of thousands of people died under the attack.
Whether it is the Pacific Railroad being cut off, or so many tens of thousands of lives, or hundreds of thousands of lives and property losses, it is a huge problem, even if the United States is now in a state of war, it must find someone to be responsible, this person is not good at a low level, the upper level is to find a scapegoat in the middle, some governors in the central part of the country, it is natural to become a candidate for this scapegoat, but these governors are not fuel-efficient lamps, in the United States, the governor is not the difference between the provincial and ministerial level and the national level, in their own one acre and three points of land, Almost a lot of autonomy, most of them are the leaders of the political family, and even in the future, they have the ability to run for president, so they are not willing to just take on the responsibility, the problem is up, the noise is certain, and a political compromise must be reached, and finally a plan that everyone is satisfied with and acceptable to everyone can continue.
Before that, it is equally important to solve this armored force, if this armored force is not solved, this group of powerful forces, if they continue to wreak havoc in the hinterland of the United States, the final destructive power will be greater, maybe, shake the foundation of the United States, but a strong armored force, but also into the relatively weak hinterland of the United States, it is really a bit of a mouse-thrower, before there is not enough military strength, the United States can not even do more, after all, strong resistance, maybe it will cause them crazy, has been more than 5,000 armored forcesIf it goes crazy and does not take strategic objectives as the direction of its operations and turns specifically to sabotage and slaughter, the United States will suffer a great loss.
To solve this problem, it is also necessary to consider making up for the loss of the sheep and avoiding such a force in the future, and easily break through to the US mansion, and some people have put forward a bill requiring the US states and borders to be stationed in the army, This number is tentatively set at 500,000 and 24,000 per state, if this plan is implemented, at least about 1.6 million U.S. troops will have to stay on the mainland, this force greatly strengthens the U.S. homeland defense, so that the United States does not have to worry about another attack like the Sakura Plan, but correspondingly, the United States will not be able to go all out as before, taking care of both sides.
The population of the United States is there, and the limit of the mobilization capacity of the battlefield is also placed there, 1.6 million troops, which is equivalent to the mobilization capacity of 16 million people, this part is subtracted, plus the young and strong that the United States has lost before, basically, the United States in 1918, I am afraid that there is no spare strength to Europe and Alaska large-scale military increase, in this sense, Japan's goal has been achieved, Japan launched the Sakura Plan, in addition to demonstrating Japan's ability, there is also the strength of the United States, He can't put pressure on Alaska without scruples.
Now, there are 1.6 million U.S. troops dragged in the United States, although the U.S. military construction is more normalized, and some of the troops are underneath, which can be adjusted and rotated, and the troops sent by the United States will not be as rookie as before, or must go through a period of adaptation training before they can be put into battle, which is good for the United States to enhance its strength, but 1.6 million is 1.6 million, which represents the largest force that the United States can shoot, which will be reduced by 1.6 million. This is very obvious for Alaska's support, itself next year, the United States will increase its troops, with this, it is basically impossible.
Zhou Xing and Zhou Juyang briefly reported today's progress, and discussed tomorrow's plan, and went back to rest, Chen Cang plan is the same as the cherry blossom plan, not a short-term plan, even longer than the cherry blossom plan, after closing the two ends of the central mountain railway, at least half a month, or even a month, slowly, this task of blowing up the exit is just the beginning, tomorrow is a really busy day, not to mention Zhou Xing, even Zhou Juyang, after arranging things, Except for a small number of on-duty personnel and fixed security personnel in the entire base, the others have already fallen asleep.
More than a thousand kilometers away, more than a hundred kilometers away from the coastline, more than a dozen warships are slowly circling in circles, far away from the coastline, standing on the high mountains of the coastline, with the help of telescopes, you can't see the situation here, but through the carrier-based aircraft on the fleet, he can almost support most of the targets within 2000, or even 3000 kilometers. This is China's secret weapon, the aircraft carrier battle group, and even because of the strength of China's carrier-based aircraft, China's aircraft carrier battle group has in substance, surpassing the US aircraft carrier battle group in World War II.
From the appearance of aircraft carriers to the present, China has been very cautious, and even the main fleet aircraft carriers have been replaced once, and the main task force uses new aircraft carriers, which not only has a tonnage of about 15,000 tons larger than the aircraft carrier, but also greatly increased the ability to launch aircraft and the ability to accept aircraft.
The aircraft carrier itself does not have much combat effectiveness, at most it is a tool to accommodate aircraft and logistics supplies, to provide a combat platform for aircraft, all the combat power of the aircraft carrier, to fall on the aircraft, the new aircraft carrier, is in this aspect, strengthened so a little, in addition to accommodating more aircraft, more powerful, there is also the ability to project and receive, the runway and deck have been slightly adjusted, and the experience summed up in actual combat and exercises has been slightly used on the aircraft carrier. The current new type of aircraft carrier has been formed, and its combat effectiveness has been increased by almost 1.5 times, and this is still the result of not replacing the aircraft, and if the most outstanding carrier-based aircraft and some medium-sized aircraft for command are used, the overall combat capability will be raised to the highest.
Since last night, the aircraft carrier has not stopped, the seaplanes on the aircraft carrier, as well as the seaplanes sent to the United States, have continued to take off, bringing back the thousands of logistics personnel who retreated from the Sakura Project back to the aircraft carrier, they will take a short rest in the aircraft carrier, and then they will go to Hawaii under the transportation of medium-sized transport planes.
Itself, it is going to Alaska, but through the inspection of the medical personnel on the aircraft carrier, including Zheng Shuming, the state of most of the logistics personnel is not particularly good, after thinking about it again and again, Alaska is the territory of the Japanese, and the climate is not particularly good, they will not get a good cultivation, simply transfer to Hawaii, their location is more than 3000 kilometers from Alaska, less than 4000 kilometers from Hawaii, for medium-sized aircraft, as a one-way flight, which is already good.
Hawaii has undergone the transformation of the Chinese side, not only has the prototype of the fortress, but also has a large number of airports, can take off and land large passenger planes, really Zheng Shuming they are not in a good situation, they can be transferred to the country at any time, this is a 10,000-step retreat, and on the aircraft carrier, in addition to welcoming the return of Zheng Shuming and other meritorious personnel, is also making another preparation, the vast majority of the bombers and fighters in the aircraft carrier will take off tomorrow to carry out the attack on the Pacific Railway.
