Chapter 1771: Dividing America
Between Juno and China, thousands of kilometers of distance, across the entire Pacific Ocean, from Japan to the Aleutian Islands, more than 4,000 kilometers, the Aleutian Islands are an island that stretches thousands of kilometers, from China to Alaska, not to mention across a hemisphere, but also half of it, such a long distance, or use the past cross-sea cable, itself between China and the United States, from Los Angeles, through Hawaii, and then Japan, and finally to China.

With the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, the relationship between China and the United States has reached a freezing point, although the cable has not been completely cut off, everyone knows how difficult it is to lay a cross-sea optical cable, as long as its interface is physically cut off, otherwise, if Hawaii is really cut off, it will be necessary to re-lay the submarine cable in the future.
China is also about the same, even if there is radio, cable telegraph is also an aspect, once China and the United States go to war in the future, the fiber optic cable from Hawaii to China will become the top priority, through the wired fiber optic cable, not only the reliability is strong, from Hawaii to Baotou, will not use other things as a turnover, the reliability is stronger, and the speed will be faster.
When there is no radio automatic relay machine, a lot of transfers, half of them use machines, half use manuals, so even if it is the fastest, a relay also takes half an hour to an hour, the earth is round, from another hemisphere to this side, it takes many transfers, which is quite a waste of time, unless the future can achieve a breakthrough in this area, the neutrino that can penetrate the earth, as a means of communication.
In the 21st century, this neutrino communication industry only exists in science fiction, and in real life, although some people have done research in this area, unfortunately there is not much to gain, compared to radio, neutrino signals are too difficult to capture and influence.
Juno's radio transmitter is very powerful, and it also has an antenna hundreds of meters high, it is still impossible to send radio waves to China, the earth is round, radio signals cannot penetrate the ground, and it will receive great influence and attenuation on the ground, unless there is a satellite relay, otherwise thousands of kilometers is already the limit.
Along the way from Japan to Alaska, a large number of important islands are actually controlled by China, on this part of the islands, before the arrival of the aircraft age, except for a small number of deep-water harbors or extremely important locations, the rest are cumbersome, few people develop him, just like Germany before World War I, a large number of islands occupied in the Pacific Ocean, after being taken by Japan, there is not much reaction, even if Germany is a defeated country, but Japan at that time is just developing, really Germany insists on handing over to other countries, Japan had no other way but to retreat.
Unlike the mainland and ports, most of the islands are quite small, except for some natural harbors, or the location is very important, such as Midway, Iwo Jima, which is more important in the shipping route, and the rest is not very important, even in the 21st century, many island countries in the Pacific Ocean are still in a rather barren state, there are no resources on the island except fishing, and fishing, this is not a fishing ground, sporadic fishing is good, really large-scale, intensive fishing, and the fishery resources here are too few.
Just like the Guam and the islands in the southwest Pacific that China has taken before, the more important thing for the United States is Guam, an island with fresh water and an island area of more than 500 square kilometers, but it is just a few hundred US soldiers stationed there, which is just a demonstration of sovereignty.
In World War II, the Pacific theater of theater, the island became an important node of naval warfare, the two sides competed for not a decisive battle at sea, but a sphere of influence, even if the United States has an overwhelming advantage in battleships, before taking many important islands in Japan, it will not be able to threaten the Japanese mainland at all, and the brutal island war directly made the United States give up the idea of directly attacking the Japanese mainland, because they are worried that this loss will be so big that the United States can not accept it.
China has entered the era of aircraft in advance, and the advantage in power has directly given birth to the multiple development of China's aircraft, in many fields such as fighters, transport aircraft and bombers, directly entering World War II, and even beyond the grade of World War II. In the era of airplanes, as long as the islands where airports could be built, they were all important nodes on the ocean, and such nodes were linked together to form a whole sphere of influence.
Just like the current Southwest Pacific, along with Guam, Hawaii and a series of important nodes, all of which have been occupied by China, the Southwest Pacific has basically become China's inherent territory, facing islands one by one, like an unsinkable aircraft carrier, as long as enough aircraft are arranged, unless a huge price is paid, it is impossible to capture at all.
China is not the Japan of World War II, Japan in World War II, first set off the Pacific War with the United States, with the help of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and the opportunity for the US economy to turn into wartime, occupying the upper hand, but Japan in World War II, only initially reached the developed countries, except for the navy, other countries can not be compared with the world powers, in the end, Japan did not come up with a few decent army armor forces, the islands are only focused on layout, even the aircraft have such and such weaknesses, pressed by the United States aircraft carriers, This is also the fundamental reason why the United States dares to launch a campaign to seize the island.
The runway of the aircraft carrier, at most, is three or four hundred meters, even with the help of a steam catapult, which increases the lift of take-off, it is just a problem to solve, and the runway with a starting point of 800 meters and a maximum of two or three thousand meters above the land base cannot be compared at all.
To put it bluntly, the aircraft is a heavier than air, the length of the runway, for the take-off weight and many other aspects, quite important, to the future, only aircraft carriers with catapults, can take off large aircraft, including heavy aircraft, early warning aircraft, this is the real power of an aircraft carrier battle group.
Under the same technical level, aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are basically unable to compete with land-based aircraft of the same level, and aircraft carriers against islands, just like battleships in the era of battleships, battleships against fixed land-based batteries, are naturally at a disadvantage, as long as the difference in level is not too large, such as 11 inches against 15 inches, otherwise it will always be the battleship that suffers.
The North Pacific Ocean, the Bering Strait, which holds the Pacific Ocean into the Arctic Ocean, and the Bering Strait is also a place with very rich fishery resources, in order to envelop this place and ensure the uniqueness of the Arctic Ocean, from Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands to the Aleutian Islands, a slightly larger island, which can build airfields and garrison troops, are all occupied by China. Stationary defense and radio stations.
With these, these are enough for China, there are airfields and simple garrisons, which are enough to resist the attack of the US military on the islands, and hold this circle, even if the US fleet is restored, it will not threaten these islands, where is the absolute protective circle.
From the Aleutian Islands, and then to the Kuril Islands, basically the North Pacific Ocean is shrouded, through the island relay in the middle, the relay is transmitted to the country, in fact, the radio waves travel through the middle, it takes very little time, mainly to receive, and then send it takes time, the less the number of intermediate transfers, the faster it will eventually be transmitted back to China.
When no other country in the world has a radio, it is easy to do, if it is replaced by World War II, when both sides have radios, under the premise of corresponding attack and defense for radio, in a strange no-man's land, the sudden appearance of such cheats and huge radios must be to attract the attention of others, which is also a way to expose the location.
This is China's unique privilege, although a little more than some rules, but can not always send planes to receive it every day, not to mention how difficult it is to find enough seaplanes to dock in rivers and lakes, let's just say that such a danger, but also than the radio for a long time, much larger, after all, human activities are inseparable from the river, whether it is China, or foreign countries, all the historic cities, are built next to the river, because only where there is water, there is a city.
In Canada, it is good to say, once in the United States, the population will be much denser, the United States also has more than 9 million square kilometers, aside from Alaska, only more than 7 million, but the population has been hundreds of millions, 10 times that of Canada, the population density is also much more, maybe in Canada, you can also find a lot, you can dock the surface of the seaplane, to the United States, there are no cities on the water's edge, but also people come and go, forcibly looking for these places, will inevitably be found.
The penetration of wireless telegraphy, especially after transmission, relay, and even retransmission, the speed is very fast, plus the time of intermediate transit, less than 4 hours, it crossed the entire hemisphere of the earth, and came to the other end of the country, in fact, the attention of the Sakura Plan in China is quite high, and the degree of implementation of the Sakura Plan determines whether the next Chen Cang plan is implemented.
That is to say, the Sakura Plan is the predecessor of the Chen Cang Plan, to a certain extent, whether the Chen Cang Plan is to be implemented, it depends on how the Sakura Plan is implemented, it can be said unceremoniously, if the Sakura Plan, there is no way to break through the U.S. border, even if the Sakura Plan is in Canada, or even in the United States, no matter how big a wave it makes, the Chen Cang Plan will not be implemented, but if the Sakura Plan can break through to the 500-kilometer range of the Pacific Railway, even if it is a road-breaking machine, it will not be airborne in the past, As long as the Pacific Railway is cut off, then the Chen Cang Plan will be implemented.
When the time comes, China will be desperate for everything, even sparing casualties, and if necessary, it will even use strategic bombers to bomb the US military, intervene in the Chen Cang Plan, destroy the Pacific Railway in one fell swoop, and completely cause turmoil in the United States.
The progress of the front line is not good, at least more than 2 million people died in the European theater and Alaska, more than 1.5 million were captured, after the news of such a huge scale was detonated, coupled with the northern stage of the Pacific Railway, the United States mainland was hit unimaginably, these together broke out, and naturally someone will come to examine whether it is necessary for the United States to participate in the European war, especially at the moment when the Pacific Railroad has no way to contact and the East and West are divided, as long as someone fuels the trouble, the United States may fall apart.
The United States is not yet the market, the United States, which is invincible all over the world and the only superpower in the world, the current United States, is just a newly formed, and even the concept of the country was sorted out in the Civil War a few decades ago, there are many contradictions between the north and the south, national contradictions, and even between capitalists and workers, plus the emperor's new clothes, which were pulled down all of a sudden, and the United States, which is obsessed with the world's first industrial country, will definitely emerge, and the shortcomings of American federalism will definitely emerge, It will be infinitely magnified at this time.
Federalism has never been the most advanced system, it was once a federal system in history, that is, Greece, but Greece has created a developed civilization, but it has never been an armed power, some civilizations are not as good as them, and they can even defeat them and easily destroy ancient Greece.
The United States is the best federal system in history, but the reason why it can be strong is not the federal system itself, but its unique environment, more than 50 states, each state is an independent individual, with independent rights, in terms of law, are different, some states can take drugs, some states can marry multiple wives, these unique backgrounds, themselves are the source of division, there is no division, not to say, the superiority of the federal system, can ignore the challenges of others, but there is no real threat to the United States.
And now, Japan and the Sakura Plan, directly hit the biggest weakness of the United States, severing the connection between the East and the West, the industrial power, the military power of the East, and the West are completely separated into two parts, in this case, in the face of war, almost every high-level will feel precarious, the most important thing is that the United States has no sense of security, such a huge armored force, such as entering the United States in a no-man's land, they are afraid that the future of the United States security can not be guaranteed, in this case, For the sake of their own interests, they will inevitably contact Japan and the allies, as long as there is contact, and then under the fueling of the flames, the division of the United States will be unstoppable, and China will also have one less biggest enemy in the future, the complete United States, Japan is not an opponent, but the divided, the triangle will always be the most stable, the same is true of the three countries, as long as the degree is grasped, many aspects can be done.
