Chapter 497: Guam Base

The reason why the Americans set up a military base on Guam is because Guam has an excellent strategic location. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Zhong is a time-traveler, and he certainly knows the importance of Guam to the United States and the key role it played in the Pacific War.

Therefore, on the day Chen Zhong landed on Guam, he began to prepare for the establishment of Guam as a military base of the Chinese Empire.

At a meeting before the establishment of the Guam military base, Chen Zhong shared one of his ideas with Chen Fangzheng and other senior generals.

Chen Zhong said: "I plan to form a Chinese Imperial Pacific Fleet and a Marine Corps Maritime Aviation Group in Guam.

At present, the main body of this fleet is to use the remaining warships of the captured US fleet as the main military component of this fleet.

Wait until the newly formed US Western Pacific Fleet, led by Vice Admiral Domilek, arrives in Guam.

We took this fleet in one fell swoop, put the captured ships into the Imperial Pacific Fleet, and established a powerful Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Empire to be stationed at the military port of Guam.

In addition, two airships and 10 submarines are also docked at the military base on the island of Guam. At the same time, 10,000 men were transferred from the former Marine Corps to form the Guam Marine Corps. In this way, we have a powerful naval military base in the Pacific Ocean. ”

Those attending the meeting were full of hope for the Guam military base, believing that it would be an extremely important military base in the future imperial journey.

At Chen Zhong's request, Major General Li Yuanfang, former commander of the First Column of the Marine Corps, was appointed commander of the Guam Marine Corps and concurrently commander of the Kwantung garrison and governor of Guam.

Immediately after Governor Li Yuanfang took office, he set up the "Guam Military Base Preparatory Committee."

After a day of intense work, the "Guam Military Base Preparatory Committee" came up with a plan for military deployment and construction on Guam.

The plan envisages the establishment of a Pacific Air Base on Guam.

The scale of construction of this air base is to build it into an important strategic air base of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific region in accordance with Chen Zhong's request.

In addition, on the basis of the original military facilities of the US military, the Chinese Imperial Fleet will expand the port of Abla and build it into a standard submarine base and airship base. On the island, they designed a deployment of forces with the air force and navy as the main forces.

At the same time, the Apra military port Agania naval facilities and the Agania naval aviation base were expanded.

The enemy department is not sealed by the earth and the isolated technology

The preparatory plan has placed strong emphasis on the military deployment of Guam, which should focus on the function of transit and resupply.

This important military base will be used as a forward operating base for strategic bomber attack military submarines and a storage depot for ammunition and aviation fuel.

The plan proposes the establishment of a research and development center on attack submarines and bombing airships in Guam.

A new submarine group was formed and attack submarines were deployed on Guam. Huge sums of money have been allocated to carry out rectification and expansion of the scale of the Apra Military Port, so that the port will have the ability to accommodate a large fleet formation and more than 50 attack submarines stationed on a permanent basis.

The knot is far from the earth, and the enemy is too lonely

According to Chen Zhong's plan, he invested 2 billion Chinese yuan to build a super military base on Guam in the Pacific Ocean, so as to occupy a strategic point in the Pacific Ocean.

At the same time, the plan also mentions the construction of an air defense system on Guam, as well as battery fortifications along the coast to enhance the protection of hangars, oil depots, ammunition depots and other vital equipment.

In order to protect military installations in Guam, they plan to also deploy anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns capable of shooting down aircraft in Guam. This weapon system is definitely the best defense system for Guam's air force.

Most of these military deployments, such as antiaircraft guns and field mountain artillery, have adopted a defensive system of direct interception in the setting up of various air defense systems on Guam.

The important thing about this defense system is that it can destroy all kinds of incoming targets outside the island at the first time. Let the incoming enemy forces be routed before they even get close to Guam.

According to Chen Zhong's request, the plan also plans to invest an additional 300 million Chinese dollars for the infrastructure construction of the Guam Naval Base.

After the completion of these infrastructures, the Guam military base will have the capability to build and repair attack submarines.

A considerable number of submarines built here, over time, will certainly have a striking force equivalent to a luxurious naval fleet.

The former U.S. Ports of Apra is located in the middle of the west coast of Guam and is one of the largest naval bases of the U.S. Navy in the western Pacific.

Now, Chen Zhong plans to build this Apra military port into an important logistics maintenance and reconnaissance base.

The water depth of Apra Port is 10 meters, and more than 80 ships can be berthed at the same time.

After the expansion of the port of Apra, a large submarine group was deployed here, which was an important naval force of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

Houdi is unscientific and unsolitary

The submarine group planned to be formed by the Chinese Imperial Navy in Guam was subordinate to the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

The preparatory plan also plans to build Agania on Guam into a logistics and maintenance station for naval support and maintenance facilities, and a fleet support base, providing all logistical maintenance and supplies for the Chinese Imperial Navy operating in the Pacific.

At the same time, they will also plan to build a large military airfield and aviation maintenance station in the central part of Guam, and plan to form a Guam maritime air brigade.

The establishment of the Guam Maritime Air Brigade and the construction of an air base on Guam will certainly become one of the forward bases of the Chinese Empire's overseas strategic bombers in the future.

According to Chen Zhong's analysis, the establishment of an air base on Guam will have many advantages in supporting the air force of the Chinese Empire in global operations in the future.

First, in the event of a maritime emergency in the Pacific region, Guam Air Force Base can quickly take off to carry out its mission.

At the same time, it can also be used as a supply and logistical maintenance for the native aircraft in the process of performing missions.

Second, the strategic location of the Guam Air Force Base ensures that bombers taking off from it can take off to the South Pacific at any time to bomb targets that need to be bombed, taking control of countries in the South Pacific.

Chen Zhong was very satisfied with the strategic plan for building Guam presented by the preparatory committee.

He ordered Li Yuanfang to report the plan after perfecting it, and estimated that the country should receive this information in three days.

After General Xiao Yang received the letter to Xixi, he immediately called back and told Chen Zhong that the funds were abundant and could be transferred at any time.

In short, the military base in Guam is an important strategic point for Chen's dream of an alliance with the Xia Xia Empire.

The Pacific strategy is one of the most magnificent chapters in the journey of the Chen Zhong Empire.

On the journey of this empire, Guam is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier at sea, standing in the vast Pacific Ocean.
