The Admiralty, the General Staff Headquarters, itself has only a simple staff department, for the Chinese, the Navy is a new branch, but the Navy is also a traditional technical branch, Germany, although taught the basic things of the Navy, it is impossible to teach all the secrets, plus China attaches more importance to the important role of aircraft carriers in naval warfare, China is more in the practice of aircraft carrier tactics, in fact, for aircraft carriers, tactics are very simple, the range is longer, faster to find the opponent's aircraft carrier, innate advantageIn this case, there are not many tactics, not even with many personnel of the Navy Staff, a few simple people, to prepare for each voyage, more in the exercise plan.

This time, the large-scale operation against the Pacific Ocean can be said to be the first large-scale operation of the Navy, involving the entire western Pacific Ocean, thousands of islands and many key positions, which involves many things, and must be prepared in advance.

In the large conference room of the General Staff, on the high wall, a map of the Pacific Ocean is hung, I have to say that the ocean is huge, the area of the Pacific Ocean, 180 million square kilometers, occupies 46% and 32% of the total area of the entire earth's ocean, which is much larger than the combined land area of the world. Definitely more than the current huge land area of China.

This is the ocean, not the land, there are no faster railways, only ships, although the ships are fast enough, that is only relative to the army on foot, in the entire western Pacific of more than 50 million square kilometers, occupy those scattered thousands, or even more islands, even if most of the islands are useless, you must be prepared.

A huge staff team of more than 2,000 people, divided into different groups, to deal with this battle against different areas on the west side of the Pacific Ocean, in the staff department, divided into different areas, islands in the Japanese Sea, islands in the Philippine Sea, Wake Island and other central islands, Hawaii and the southwest side, close to the direction of Australia Many islands, these islands are densely scattered, especially from Australia along the direction of New Zealand, the eyes to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, which seems to be dense, like the stars of the Zhou Tian, However, even in the future, these islands will not have much effect, even in the eyes of the naval staff, they are dispensable, and the real key is the place where Guam and Hawaii are connected as the center, which is the vital part.

In this battle plan, Guam is the top priority, in the plan of the General Staff, Guam is one of the most important targets in the Pacific region, to some extent, even above Hawaii, controlling Guam, it means that the security of the entire Philippines can be controlled, guarding a Philippines, and guarding a Guam, this difficulty is reduced a lot, as long as this naval base is improved, the entire southwest Pacific Ocean will fall into the hands of China, such a key place is more, But it is not China's first step into the Pacific.

The capture of Guam is not an end but a starting point, from Guam to Hawaii, across thousands of kilometers, involving hundreds, even thousands of various islands, not only Hawaii, Guam and other strategic locations, but also some seemingly unimportant, but very important places, although there may not be much resistance, but to completely and quickly take it, it must be carefully arranged, for several months, has been preparing for this matter, When the artillery formation composed of battleships and the task force composed of aircraft carriers were already in place, it was already coming to an end, but there were still some logistics and war materials and so on, which were not completely prepared, and the first battle of the entire Pacific War did not take place in the direction of Guam, but in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean.

From Taiwan to the north, is the Ryukyu Islands, which were once forcibly occupied by the Japanese and taken back by China, which is part of China's offshore island chain, and controls here, at least China's southern sea area, will not be exposed to the threat of the Japanese, the time to take the Ryukyu Islands is still above Taiwan, from the beginning of the take, the Ryukyu Islands have been firmly controlled in the hands of China, based on the Ryukyu Islands, China's construction of large-scale experimental islands, popularization of ports, submarine bases, and even runways, Firmly under the control of the Chinese, the Ryukyu Islands are now stationed in at least 300 aircraft of various types, including 53 heavy strategic bombers.

It can be said that China has tried its best to defend the Ryukyu Islands, and even if China is allowed to attack, it is necessary to transfer all six aircraft carriers and concentrate all the aircraft carrier battle groups in order to be able to be evenly matched with this one island; in the era of aircraft carriers, the island with an airport is definitely a hard bone, and the US military suffered a big loss on Iwo Jima, and the US military did not dare to land casually until the Japanese planes were consumed.

China is different from Japan, Japan during World War II, except for the initial Zero fighter, Japan rarely has first-class aircraft, plus pilots and use methods, Japan and the US military in the war, the air force is obviously inferior, but China is different, not only prepared in advance, has a huge mass base, the number of pilots has exceeded one million, although most of them are the lowest level of pilots, but they have the possibility of flying the plane into the sky, so that the war of attrition for China, it is impossible to have an effect, Coupled with China's superiority in aircraft, the Ryukyus are impregnable.

The purpose of transforming the Ryukyus was, on the one hand, to defend the flank of the whole of China and ensure the security of the core area, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, and on the other hand, there was also a mentality, that is, to attract Japan to come and attack.

After two blows in 1911 and 1913, Japan's fleet has been lost, and even the army has suffered greatly, even with the support of the United States, these days are also difficult to live, since China began to rebuild the Ryukyu Islands, it has never come out, after the Ryukyu Islands were built, the Japanese have never fought his idea, of course, after the completion of the reconstruction of the Ryukyus, Japan has no threat, he wants to threaten China, China set up a spy network in Japan, You can learn about Japan's every move, radar all over the island, and some fixed submarine reconnaissance, it is impossible for Japan to sneak attack China, which is also the fundamental reason for China's peace of mind expansion during this time.

But now, China has chosen to do something to Japan, not Japan, Japan is not too much of a benefit for China, Japan has the most dense population in the world, 4 islands, with a population of 51 million, a little more than 370,000 square kilometers of land, in terms of division, at most equivalent to a province in China, not the largest provinces in China, but has one-tenth of China's population, the density is extremely strong. In addition, Yang Yuanzhao still has concerns about attacking Japan, in real history, the kamikaze attack adopted by Japan in World War II, as well as the suicidal spirit, although now, militarism has not yet risen, but Yang Yuanzhao does not dare to bet, so attacking the Japanese mainland is a problem that has never been considered, at most, in the future, blocking Japan's shipping lanes, so that Japan, which has already moved towards industrialization, will completely return to its original state, so that it will be easier.

Island countries have always been relatively barren, especially the island countries on the mainland, just like Britain, he has no minerals, if it were not for the empire on which the sun never sets, the land of the whole world has become a dominion and colony, Britain does not want to become the world's first, even so, after World War II, Britain was consumed in World War I and World War II one after another, after the national liberation movement, after liberating a large number of countries, the powerful empire of the sun never sets, has also become a second-rate country in the world.

Japan itself has no benefit, but provokes a lot of commotion, which is also the reason why China does not attack Japan, but there is nothing worth attacking in Japan, which does not mean that there are no islands around Japan, and many islands around Japan are very valuable and are the key to controlling regional waters.

In the Pacific operation plan, the south is centered on the line between Guam and Hawaii, in the north, although the islands are scarce, but not absent, the Ogasawara Islands in the waters of Japan is one of them, and the most important one, the other two targets are also nearby, one is the Izu Islands, the other is the volcanic archipelago, and further south, it is connected to the Mariana Islands, from Tokyo Bay, all the way to the south, this is a series of islands.

These islands are large and small, but there are many islands above level B, that is, they can have a runway of more than 1,500 meters, and can take off and land more than medium-sized bombers.

These targets, for the northern part of the western Pacific Ocean, the key node islands near the Sea of Japan, many are more than 5 square kilometers, enough to lay more than 2,000 meters of runway, such a runway can take off in addition to the heavy load of strategic bombers above the aircraft, as long as a little arrangement, is an unsinkable aircraft carrier, combat effectiveness is very amazing, control these, it represents the control of regional sea power, which is very important for China to go out, and control regional security.
