The struggle with the United States is destined to be long-term and protracted, and Japan has never had the luxury of overthrowing the United States at once and completely occupying hegemony in the Americas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The first thing Japan has to do is to gain a firm foothold, in addition to building a large number of defense lines on the Juno's side, along the Pacific coast, most of Japan's development is islands, which is very related to the geographical location of Alaska, but this kind of arrangement, it is easy to be attacked by the sea, for example, the Juno Line, the target is facing the Rocky Mountains, but this line of defense is less than 30 kilometers away from the sea, as long as the warship arrives near Juneau, under the common attack of land and sea, this line of defense is difficult to hold.

The naval guns of the battleships are completely different from the artillery used by the army, and the naval guns are not only more powerful, but also have better penetration when attacking land, and if there are warships on the coast of Alaska, the Japanese defense line will definitely be in danger.

Japan has no way, they can't do the ultimate in every aspect, to be able to do this step in the line of defense, it is already the limit of the Japanese side, for the time being, China has a naval advantage, don't worry about the attack from the sea, but the Chinese side informed Japan of the situation on the American side, by next spring at the latest, more than 20 battleships will be launched one after another, at that time, China's advantage in the Pacific Ocean will be reduced, and even when the United States attacks Hawaii, the main force of China's fleet will guard Hawaii, To a certain extent, Japan had to guard against attacks from the sea on the premise that it did not have a navy, and this was the biggest problem restricting this defensive position.

The predicament of Japan, China is very clear, after weighing, or to help Japan solve this problem, it is impossible to give Japan 16-inch guns, which is also the best in China, is the main gun of the last class of battleships in the future, for the navy, the future will reduce the manufacture of battleships, almost stagnate, because the aircraft carrier has shown his outstanding performance, this is the absolute core of the battle, but the battleship will also play a role in some specific areas, plus the Chinese Navy artillery faction still has, Although Yang Yuanzhao no longer planned to build battleships, he couldn't stand up to the arguments of many people, and finally agreed to build a battleship of 8 ships of the first class, this battleship is not focused on the advantage of firepower, it is better to say that it is a battleship, it is better to say that it is an air defense frigate, but it is just to enhance the tonnage of the battleship.

The entire battleship has all kinds of anti-aircraft machine guns, more than 300, but the main guns are 3 twin-mounted 16-inch guns, which has returned to the level of 6 main guns, which does not match his huge tonnage, the most important thing is that it is the modification of radio and radar, the protection of this battleship is strong, coupled with the huge hull, it can accommodate enough radar to serve as a command ship and flagship, and the aircraft carrier will no longer serve as the flagship of the entire combined fleet.

This is equivalent to saving space for the aircraft carrier, if the aircraft carrier is used as a command ship, it is necessary to set up a command that is convenient for contact, this command and the air force command are somewhat conflicting, the tonnage on the aircraft carrier is limited, it is impossible to have enough space, hand it over to the command system, before because the aircraft carrier is the most powerful warship in the entire battleship, so the command naturally falls on the aircraft carrier, and now there is a escort battleship, which can not only provide a favorable air barrier for the aircraft carrier, but also command the fleet to fight, In the command tower of a battleship, the difficulty of surviving is much higher.

Since there is a new generation of battleships to build a ship, then the 16-inch gun can not be given to Japan, to Japan is a modified and strengthened 14-inch naval gun, or can be given, this artillery, itself produced, is to prepare for land-based batteries, did not enhance the lightness and easy replacement of this artillery, but to enhance its strength and service life, to a certain extent, leaving enough space for heavy bombs, from these performance, this is an excellent land-based protective artillery fire.

Japan has gained a lot from the hands of the United States, whether it is capital, or materials, and even now, Alaska's huge output has always supported Japan's economic figures, even if it is now large-scale investment, investment in fixed assets, under the premise of huge, Japan can still be at ease, Japan enjoys the benefits of having something, barren Japan, compared with the current Alaska, is simply a in the sky, a on the ground, if Japan is Alaska, I am afraid that Japan's development will also be better, and it is precisely because of this that Japan has burst out from top to bottom, and there has been an unimaginable boom in the construction of Arkansas.

The Japanese ignored that if Japan was really so good, with Japan's strength at that time, the United States and Britain would definitely dismember Japan and turn it into a raw material producer, precisely because Japan had no resources. Coupled with the large population, it is relatively very troublesome to control.

With the help of this seizure and the low-interest loan provided by the Chinese side, Japan began to build a large-scale land-based battery near Juneau, which is at the fortress level and has 80 guns, which is already very impressive, which is equivalent to 10 battleship firepower, although the land-based battery cannot be moved, it can only be protected to the land, but the artillery is far above the ordinary battleship gunfire in terms of power and the protection of the battery, especially on the high platform, under the sufficient firing height, one side is a downward attack, and the other side is a downward shot, The difference is not a slight.

The Japanese were really terrible, they actually built 16 battery groups at once, there were 3 near Juneau, all of them were 240 guns, and the total number of guns used exceeded 3,000, which was a huge order, just such an order was enough to feed at least 10 battleship gun production enterprises in China, and the total amount was also quite high, battleship artillery systems often accounted for more than one-third of the total cost of battleships, 9 to 10 battleships, and his turret cost was about 1.5 million pounds, This average of more than 150,000 pounds per gun, China sold to Japan, less turrets and duplexes, the cost is much lower, all are individual artillery, the price is about 1 million Chinese dollars, so 3,000 guns, another 3 billion Chinese dollars order.

A large number of artillery batteries were arranged, Japan was relieved, facing Juno, which was protected by 720 large-caliber 14-inch guns, in this world, what warships dared to challenge directly, as long as they held Juno, the rest of Alaska, they would not be subject to double attacks, at most the battleships at sea were ploughed again, as long as they were well concealed and protected, Alaska was still firmly in the hands of the Japanese.

Alaska's changes in the past six months are indeed very large, there is a simple data to know, what happened here, 6 months of time period, Alaska's cumulative construction of buildings, 10.35 million square meters, the cumulative construction of roads 6700 Gregorian calendar, although they are all simple only 7 meters wide roads, and even the paving on them, is not too thick, can only bear less than 15 tons of vehicles, which in China, not even the fifth grade of the road, but Alaska is the main road.

Although Japan imports a large number of vehicles from China, most of them are light trucks, and some of the vehicles are transported to Alaska, undertaking the transportation task, going deep into those cities and settlements in Alaska, their means of life, and all the products they produce, are transported through these roads, with these roads, Alaska's connection is closer and faster.

From the coastal areas, there are a large number of mountains, but from the middle to choose the right place to cross these mountains, is not very difficult, the most important thing is that China has a variety of advanced road construction equipment, China's geological conditions are far more complex than most of the world's situation, in China's road construction gradually deepened, in the southeast coastal plains, road construction has been quite intensive, more cases, in remote places, these places are inconvenient places, because of the road, Many special products cannot be shipped out, which also restricts the development of these places to a certain extent.

After deepening the development of the industry, China has further developed the traffic environment in the advantageous areas, and has focused on creating poor areas, most of the population in these areas have migrated, but the roads also need to be built, after all, the deeper the mountains and old forests, the richer the products, China's diversified demand, so that these consumption is bullish, and repairing roads is the key to transporting these products, and therefore, a large number of similar roads have been built, and rich experience has been accumulated.

The Chinese are all extremely experienced targets, and these are simply like fish in water in Alaska. It was also the first time that the Japanese felt the benefits of convenient transportation, and before, even in Japan, it was more common to have sea transportation, and some large cities were only connected by simple roads or even natural roads. Many times, the contact between them depends more on manpower, that is, there are several railways, now the construction of the railway is more difficult, it may take a period of time, to be able to complete, the railway has begun to set up the project, and is doing the preliminary construction work, these preliminary work takes time, unlike the road, the railway must take into account all aspects of the situation, geological conditions.

Railways are different from highways, huge investment, and strong inertia, once the construction begins, it is fixed, and there are generally few changes, so it must be serious, Alaska is a completely different place, in this case, China does not have a foundation, there is no data on the basis, must rely on slow to do, fortunately, here is a military regime, there are reconnaissance aircraft, on the basis of surveying the topographic map, for simple geomorphological features and mapping, there is an intuitive understanding, in this case, The construction work is also being carried out in an orderly manner.
