Chapter 1899: On the Protracted War Again

"How could Japan possibly choose to attack the United States near the polar regions? Now that the temperature in Eastern Siberia is more than 20 degrees below zero, and in a few days there will even be a polar night phenomenon in the northern region. ”

An Yi took the latest information, faced the room full of generals, and asked loudly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

In the conference hall of the General Staff, there was silence.

After a while, Huang Zhi, deputy chief of the General Staff, stood up and said, "The choice of the Japanese army is not only unexpected, but also reasonable!" Previously, our General Staff and intelligence departments had always thought that the Japanese army would carry out a landing operation in Central America, which would not only cut off the supply of materials to the United States in this region, but also provoke the countries of the Americas to rise up against the United States and involve the United States in using troops in the Pacific and Atlantic.

"Unfortunately, we have always overlooked the fact that, under certain conditions, the Asian continent is actually connected to the American continent. Historians once had a point of view that the Indians of the American continent were actually a branch of the nomadic people on our northern steppe, and during the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing drove the Xiongnu north, and these nomads were forced to relocate and cross the Bering Strait into the Americas in the harsh winter climate and multiply!

"The reason why the modern empires and Russians included Alaska in their territory was that their explorers officially confirmed their sovereignty over the frozen Bering Strait to the periphery of the American colonies occupied by the British. Although later Imperial Russia sold Alaska to the Americans at a very cheap price, we cannot deny that the Bering Strait in winter was indeed a convenient land route.

"The Japanese army had several advantages in fighting in the Bering Strait. First, of course, the Far East and Eastern Siberia, which were backed by the Japanese occupation, had sufficient supplies of materials. Based on the fact that the Air Force has taken pictures and compared the Far Eastern Railway built by Japan for a week, we can basically make a judgment: the Northeast Asian Railway has been opened! The Japanese completed the construction of a railway that could only exist on the design drawings at a speed that we had never thought of before! With the opening of the Northeast Asia Railway, whether from Korea, the Far East or Kamchatka, the Japanese army can be replenished by sea and land!

"Second, the Japanese army fighting in North America can effectively use the weapons and equipment produced by the Northeast Industrial Base, especially the ammunition that consumes serious consumption, and there is no need to load it on ships for ocean transportation, which greatly facilitates the operation. . . ."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhi turned to Chen Yu, director of the Central Intelligence Agency: "I would now like to ask Director Chen to give an explanation on Japan's development in Northeast China, so that everyone can understand the extent of Japan's military production, and have a more intuitive impression!" ”

An Yi nodded and raised his hand to signal Chen Yu to speak.

Chen Yu stood up, walked to the large Northeast map hung by the staff officers, held the baton in his hand, and began his explanation.

After the 918 Incident, the Japanese army supported Pu Yi to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo, and officially incorporated the Northeast into the Japanese colonial system. In order to enhance the attractiveness of the puppet Manchukuo, they intensified the construction of the northeast region and accelerated the urbanization construction, so that Changchun, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, had many ironic firsts.

"Such as what forest greening first, universal flush toilets first, universal piped gas first, planning... Urban construction projects such as the first subway, the first main road and the first electric wire, etc., seem to be remarkable, but in fact they are all insignificant, and there are no measures to develop the economy and industry at all.

"However, it is not advisable for us to underestimate the Japanese. By this year, the urbanization of Northeast China has reached Narui, with a total mileage of more than 12,000 kilometers of railways, more than 60,000 kilometers of highways, and a total mileage of 15,000 kilometers of air lines.

"The improvement of transportation is only one aspect of the development of the Northeast, and the most terrifying thing is the industrialization there. From Shenyang to Dalian, the factory chimneys on both sides of the railway are lined up, the urban belt is connected together, and Shenyang Tiexi is known as the "Oriental Ruhr" by the European and American media, and the total industrial output value accounts for 60% of the total industrial and agricultural output value, and the power generation capacity is as high as 3 billion kWh, producing various products including coal, pig iron, steel, special steel, sulfuric acid, soda ash, cement, machinery, etc.

"Especially after the recapture of a large number of production lines from Siberia, the development of the Northeast has entered the high-speed channel, the coal mines in Fushun, Zhuoxin, Yuanbaoshan, Kailuan, Jixi, Shuangyashan, Hegang and other places, the iron mines in Anshan, Benxi, Huan'an, Acheng, Baiyun Obo, the copper mines near Duobaoshan, Harbin and Shenyang, as well as the rich gold, silver, magnesite, oil shale and so on contained in this land, have given the Japanese sufficient resources for development, and now almost one-third of Japan's weapons and equipment are manufactured in the Northeast. Therefore, the Northeast supported the Northeast Asian region by rail, which was most beneficial to the Japanese army. ”

Hu Jialin asked: "So, if we send troops to take the Northeast in one fell swoop and cut off the railway lines in Northeast Asia, the Japanese army entering North America will immediately cut off the supply source and become rootless driftwood, and will collapse without a fight?" ”

"In principle, so!"

Chen Yu replied: "However, in practical application, we have to consider the way of sea transportation after the Japanese army occupies the west coast of North America. Specific intelligence analysis needs to be made by the General Staff Headquarters, and we, the CIA, can cooperate to complete this work! ”

"Our confidence in insisting on development should not be shaken!"

An Yi stood up and waved his hand vigorously to strengthen the tone of his speech: "I understand everyone's feelings, since the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese have their hands stained with the blood of the Chinese people, and all kinds of deep hatred and hatred are not avenged, how can they be human?" Still, I still have that opinion, now is not a good time for revenge!

"You might as well think about it, if the Japanese army really makes up its mind to attack the US mainland from the Bering Strait, then the main force of the Japanese army in Australia will inevitably move north, and the current Far East, Northeast China and Korea must have gathered the most elite troops of the Japanese army! Our choice to attack at this time is actually a head-to-head confrontation with little Japan, except for the fact that we are trying to prevent disasters for the Americans in vain, there is no benefit!

"We are different from the great powers, they have a deep accumulation, even if it is now the dead country, as long as they are given a period of time to recover, with the good education of their people, and their strong industrial heritage, it will develop very quickly! Ten years at most, it is a big country leading the development of the world! We are different, our foundation is too thin, we used to be poor and white, but now although we have funds and a large number of industrial orders, there is still a big gap between us and the great powers.

"Brethren, do you remember when we were isolated and helpless in the international community after the July 7 Incident and the August 13 Incident in Shanghai? How did the Anglo-French-led League of Nations treat us? Are there any practical benefits to those frequent international conferences other than to tie our hands and feet? For a long time after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Britain continued to trade with Japan, and the United States continued to use its own scrap. Steel and oil resources to support Japan's war! All that is happening now, 'in a sense, is the fault of Britain and the United States!'

"We must take the Far East and the Northeast, but it is not that now we have more than enough troops in the Méng and Baikal regions, and the offensive is insufficient, once the attack fails, the flames of war are very likely to burn to the Guannai, endangering the Central Plains and the Northwest Region, and the pattern of the decisive battle between China and Japan will come in advance, which I do not want to see!

"The best time to regain lost territory should be in the second half of next year, and no later than the turn of spring and summer in four or three years. Brothers, as long as the Japanese army and the Americans do it, then Japan's national strength will be quickly depleted, and a great giant will be dragged down by a long battle line, and there will be loopholes everywhere in his body! At that time, as long as we take the Far East and the Northeast, Japan will lose one-third of its industry in an instant, and then we will attack Korea again and directly threaten Japan, and then the Japanese army will have no choice but to retreat to Australia!

"In two years, our aircraft carrier formation has been formed, plus missile destroyers and nuclear submarines, we are already strategically invincible, we have the mainland as the foundation, we can easily recover the Lanyin Islands and the Philippines in an orderly manner, through the airfield between the islands, slowly advance the front to Australia, and finally everything that Japan has stolen is just to make a wedding dress for us!"

After listening to An Yi's analysis, the generals first stared in deep thought, and then they all showed excited expressions.

Both the Japanese, Britain and the United States and other countries underestimate the navy of the Anjia Army, and usually refer to Nanhua as an army power, and do not think that it has the strength to touch the ocean.

This is also an important reason why Japan dares to throw troops into an attack on the United States, and there is a perception in the top echelons of the Japanese Government and the armed forces: It is a big deal to withdraw from the mainland, and it is enough to ensure the security of the Japanese archipelago and the islands of Southeast Asia and Australia. At present, Japan's top priority is to completely destroy the will of the United States to resist, which is the spiritual support of a democratic country, and as long as the United States cannot develop a superior navy, Japan will be invincible.

On the one hand, it is to restore and develop the economy and enhance its industrial strength, and on the other hand, it is to accumulate naval strength and use the leading position in science and technology to make up for the lack of naval combat experience and tactical literacy of naval officers and men. It must be known that with the advent of aircraft carriers and anti-ship missiles, the form of naval warfare has undergone fundamental changes, and as long as we do a good job in air defense, anti-submarine and early warning, even South China, which has no naval foundation, can hope to become a naval power.

To achieve all this, the most important thing is time, the time for peaceful and stable development.

Seeing everyone thinking silently, An Yi said again: "Don't worry that the Japanese will destroy the United States, this situation is simply impossible In fact, the Japanese army's attack on the United States mainland is tantamount to self-defeating in my opinion, which is definitely the biggest stain on the life of Ishihara Waner, who is known as a master of strategy." It is true that the United States is a country composed of immigrants, and most of the people come from Europe, America and Asia, but this country has existed for more than 100 years, and because of its superior geographical location and good political and economic environment, the people have long had a sense of belonging.

"The Japanese government and opposition think that the Americans are not worthy of a war, but in the face of the threat of life or death, the US government and army will inevitably lose a fight to the death, and the Japanese army will suffer a painful defeat! Don't think that I am saying this because I am lenient to everyone, the light and heavy industrial base of the United States is basically concentrated in the eastern region, although the number of factories and enterprises in the west is beyond the reach of ordinary countries, but it is nothing compared to the United States!

"We can fully imagine that under the huge industrial production capacity of the United States, tens of thousands of tanks swooped down ferociously on the Japanese army, overwhelming fighter planes raining down dense aerial bombs, and hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces roared wildly, completely destroying the Japanese position. At the beginning of the war, Japan may have gained some advantage by virtue of the suddenness of its attack, but the millions of troops scattered over the vast expanse of Canada and the Midwest of the United States, averaging not even a single person per square kilometer, at best, controlled the towns near the main communication arteries, and as the battle line continued to move eastward, it was inevitable that it would fall into a stalemate due to insufficient troops, and then the war entered a stalemate phase.

"At this point, the defeat of the Japanese army is inevitable, the United States will hoard more and more weapons and ammunition materials, and air supremacy will inevitably fall into the hands of the American army.

"The final result must be that the Japanese army will be divided and surrounded, and except for the troops on the seashore who can escape by boat, the rest will become prisoners of war for the Americans. After the Battle of the Americas came to an end, the Japanese army could only passively defend due to the loss of a large number of troops and war materials, and gradually moved towards destruction! ”

Deng Bin nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It sounds like the enduring strategy we propagated during the Anti-Japanese War a few years ago, Mr. Jiang Baili and Mr. Mao of ** have elaborated on this, and it is also divided into three stages: defense, stalemate, and counteroffensive, but compared with our weak national strength at that time, the conditions of the United States are much better, and I believe that the time of the three stages will be much shorter!" ”

"Not bad!"

Yang Fei echoed: "We can transfer our opinions to the Americans, and I think this may become the guiding program of the American War of Resistance!" ”

"Haha"

There was a relaxed smile in the conference room.

When the laughter stopped, Major General Liu Yu, the chief of operations, took the initiative to stand up and said with concern: "Chairman, commanders, just from the perspective of the Pacific theater, we are naturally not afraid of the Japanese army, but we must expect that once the Japanese army suffers setbacks and failures in attacking the Americas, they are very likely to ask for help from the German ** team!" Now that the Soviet-German war is in turmoil, the German army is integrating the forces of Europe, and the Soviet Union has also received our full support, the future of the war between the two sides is uncertain, but the possibility of the German army winning is not ruled out!

"If the Germans had left their hands free on the Soviet-German battlefield, where would Hitler have stretched his hand? The elite German army is definitely not comparable to the British and French teams of tofu scum, and once the German army launches a sneak attack on our West Asian region, we will face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Therefore, I think it is necessary to study this, and it is better to have several contingency plans. ”

An Yi thought it was very reasonable when he heard it: "Liu Yu's worries are not out of nowhere, the Military Commission and the General Staff Department should attach great importance to it and see how to avoid this situation!" Germany, like Japan, is equally fond of undeclared war, and we must not make the mistakes of the Soviets! I propose to set up a special research group, with General Chief Hu as the leader, Yang and Huang as the deputy chiefs of staff, and the General Staff Department and the National Defense University specially dispatched personnel to participate! ”

"Yes!"

Hu Jialin, Yang Fei and Huang Zhi stood up and saluted An Yi solemnly, and when they sat down, they all felt that the burden on their shoulders was not light.

: Haha, this is the second update of the day!
