Chapter 434: Battle of the Gulf of Mexico (15)

"Then there is no way, except to do everything possible to develop the navy, you can only try not to provoke those naval powers that can't be defeated no matter what. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info", Li Hui said in response to someone's question.

"What if there is still a fight? Is it better for the fleet to rush out and fight it out, or stay in the base and wait until the defeat? Li Hui's answer to such a question was very simple, "Of course, rush out, if you are lucky, you can win, even if you can't win, the war that will be lost will only make the people suffer more if it drags on for a long time, it is better to let everyone give up hope and end the war as soon as possible, so that the people will suffer less...... If you can't judge the comparison of the strength of the two sides, then you should take the initiative to let the truth come out, continue the war if you can win, and honestly admit defeat if you can't win, instead of delaying and making the people at home suffer, unless you have a much stronger ship-building ability than the enemy, but the current naval strength is not so big, then you can fight a protracted war, but now there seems to be no such potential naval power in the world......"

There is nothing wrong with the reason, but Li Hui also knows that there will not be many governments like he said, because after the war is lost, even if the country can continue to exist, the original ruler will definitely fall, so in order for them to hold on for more time, even if there is no hope at all, they will pull the people to continue to consume with the enemy. Therefore, in order to preserve the hope of the people (we still have so many powerful warships), the "presence fleet" has naturally become their most common choice.

In fact, even Li Hui himself says one thing and does another, because he needs to consider not only the victory or defeat at sea, but also more aspects. Therefore, although Deng Shichang contributed to the complete victory of the Gulf of Mexico naval battle with his own sacrifice, Li Hui actually had a stomach of opinions on his self-assertion, but Yang Yonglin's seemingly conservative command was very recognized by him, if it were not for the fear of affecting the morale of the navy, and thinking that Deng Shichang was martyred after all, Li Hui even wanted to criticize it harshly.

The reason why Li Hui thought this way was that he thought that if he won the naval battle, the size of the results was actually meaningless, and that it was an unnecessary waste to suffer greater losses in order to achieve greater results on the premise of being able to ensure victory, because he had never thought of really landing on the east coast of the core of the United States.

The simple reason is that China does not have the ability to maintain a large fleet in the Atlantic while maintaining the logistics of more than 100,000 ground troops, and this is not taking into account the outcome of the threat of engagement by the US Navy, and in fact there are fewer troops that can be deployed and maintained. The landing of two Marine divisions in the Gulf of Mexico was actually a one-shot deal, and after going north, they no longer received supplies from the sea, but converged with several mountain divisions to obtain supplies from land, but if they landed on the east coast, the nature was different.

For the United States, which already has millions of troops, even if such a small number of troops successfully land on the east coast of the United States, it will not pose a deadly threat at all. Even if there is another Heavenly Punishment Column, it is useless, because if there is no Li Hui's "doppelganger" to provide unlimited supplies, the combat effectiveness of the whole biochemical army is actually not so strong, and Li Hui only has that "doppelganger", and he will have to wait until the Heavenly Punishment Column is completely destroyed before he can give up, and then Li Hui will be redesignated and sent from China to the United States, these times are counted, at least more than two months, at that time the daylilies are cold, such a long time, enough for the US army to build a tight and solid defense line, Tens of thousands of people will definitely not be able to break through, which is very different from the background when the Heavenly Punishment Plan was introduced.

And the US military does not even need to take the initiative to attack, only need to fight a stalemate, after the United States enters the winter, the terrible cold snap that often cools down by twenty or thirty degrees will make the landing force camped out suffer heavy losses, to a certain extent, this sudden huge temperature difference is even more difficult to cope with for the personnel who have been outdoors for a long time than the Russian winter, when the absolute temperature is even lower, because it is necessary to prepare several different sets of equipment for this, and this is a nightmare for the logistics department.

Considering the disgusting terrain on the east coast of the United States, which not only greatly hinders the landing, but is also very conducive to the activities of small ships, especially since the Americans are fighting at home and are more familiar with hydrology and climate, if China insists on maintaining a sea line of communication, the cost of escort must be staggering......

Unless the British are willing to take advantage of it, then Li Hui can give it a try, but this is obviously impossible, the current British government is indeed happy to see China beating the United States, but it absolutely does not want the United States to really die, let alone personally end up with the United States as a head-on enemy, and with Britain's strong national strength, it is impossible to settle it with direct intimidation and blackmail like Mexico. So Li Hui can only think about this thought.

In fact, the British government's reaction to the results of the Battle in the Gulf of Mexico was even worse than Li Hui had expected, not only by urgently introducing a series of policies favorable to the United States and unfavorable to China, but also by launching an initiative in Europe to form an unprecedented multinational joint fleet to "ensure the safety of navigation in the Atlantic." Obviously, the British government is completely trying to pull down its face to help the United States, and although they want to see the United States weaken, they still don't want to see China in North America become very difficult to control.

Although God knows when this so-called "multinational joint fleet" will be formed due to the heavy internal problems of European countries, and it is even very likely that it will end up without a hitch, Li Hui knows very well that the performance of the Chinese navy in entering the Atlantic to fight and achieve a brilliant victory has aroused the fear of Britain and even all European coastal countries, even if it is the strongest naval strength of Britain, there is only a quantitative gap in hard power compared with the United States before it, and there is no qualitative difference, let alone other countries. The Chinese Navy was able to inflict heavy losses on the US Navy at a negligible cost, and the European powers naturally feared for their own safety.

In the past, when some Western media advocated the "Yellow Woe Theory", not many Europeans really took it seriously, because China was so far away from Europe. But now the situation is different, the Chinese navy has hit the Gulf of Mexico, compared to the sea distance between China and the Gulf of Mexico, extending to Europe is only equivalent to an extra step, it feels like it could happen at any time, how can the European powers not be afraid?

Even British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who has been advocating friendship with China and suppressing the United States and Germany in the past few years, has now changed his previous attitude, not only actively promoting the smooth passage of the "Lend-Lease Act," which is actually aid to the United States, but also visiting Germany for the first time to get the German Navy to send a new type of capital ship to join the multinational joint fleet......
