Chapter 1848: A Different Vision

The United States must respond, Salt Lake City is better to say, it is a city in the middle, but Sacramento, which is an important city of water, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and even Sacramento, are not allowed to lose, once lost, the entire West Coast will be turbulent, this loss, not the United States can afford at present, not to mention that now, the bridge in Sacramento has been bombed, Japan has blocked the east and west regions, and it is very bold to include at least 1,000 kilometers of Pacific Railroad, It also includes the most important railways in the Central Mountains, which the United States has built with great pain, and in case of some mistakes, the United States may not be able to repair them.

Under this premise, of course, the order was issued faster than before, and the most important thing is that this matter is very important and urgent, but after really breaking down the analysis, this matter is not very harmful, and the left and right are just small forces, and even after destroying the Sacramento bridge, there is no threat, and it is a big deal to send a part of the infantry to encircle and suppress, drive them into the high mountains, or annihilate them completely.

To a certain extent, whether they are professional in terms of professionalism or vision, there is not much difference between them and more European professional officers, especially after participating in the European War, they have experienced tragic casualties, and therefore, they have accumulated huge experience, and some elite US military units can already be regarded as the best of the allied forces, and they will not be worse than the British and French armies, in this regard, they are much higher than Japan, after all, Japan has only been modernized for many years, their military philosophy, military vision, is still stuck in the period of the Russo-Japanese War.

The narrow territory and marine environment make Japan in many aspects, the vision is very bad, and even because of the premise of industrialization, during World War II, there was no machine gun and artillery popularity of the great powers in World War I, under the premise that the Soviet Union and Germany were already a large-scale tank duel, when the Tiger and T34 were popular, Japan's main tank was actually just a light tank that could only be counted in Europe, and even the so-called ridiculous Peanding tank was also popular. This tank, which can break through even a large-caliber heavy machine gun to a certain extent, not to mention artillery, a 37 battle defense gun can kill such a Douding tank, but it is raging on the land of China, for the simple reason that China is worse. If it weren't for the help of China, Japan would have been hit hard by the United States after coming to Alaska, and with Japan's original military strength, let alone the use of tanks by the United States, even if it was its original combat strength, it would have made the Japanese very uncomfortable.

In order to let Japan drag down the Americans, instead of sacrificing in vain, if China really wants to kill Japan, it will directly use a large number of incendiary bombs and bombing methods, it can't be said that Japan will be completely wiped out, destroy eighty or ninety percent of his population, and completely let him return to the primitive society, there is still no problem at all, why bother to send them to the Americas, it cannot be said that the Americans are too bad, but China is too strong, and the Americans do not know that there are higher technologies in this world, for example, airplanes, such as aircraft carriers.

Ordinary battleships are the supreme weapon at sea, which can protect the security of the country's maritime borders, but there is no way for this thing to go on land, even if Britain was the most powerful, it still suffered a big loss in the Boer War, and even used battleships to attack the harbor, which is not too cost-effective, and many levels of battleships after the emergence of the Sovereign class, they have very few ground attacks, and most of them are still unsuccessful.

The navy attacks the land, there is a natural imbalance, as long as it is about the same, and even the caliber and technical content of the roadbed battery is still a little worse, the navy will absolutely not be able to win, the reason is very simple, the land battery, can be erected in a high place, most of the land battery, are in 100 meters, or even higher ground, so that the firing range is more spacious, the firing range is farther, even if the firing range is slightly inferior, one is a back attack, one is a downward shot, it will also have an advantage, on the other hand, Land batteries can be equipped with a lot of protection, for example, sandbags, such as reinforced concrete, and even after the battery is attacked, it is just a little loss of personnel and one or two guns, but the battleship is different, once they are attacked, maybe a battleship with a huge investment and several years to build will be completely driven into the sea.

The uneven contrast, coupled with the advantage on land, few warships will attack the fortified fortress, and occasionally the navy attacks the city, or in the case of a huge generation difference, for example, in the first Opium War, one side is a battleship with more than 80 guns, and the range is generally more than double that of the Qing court's batteries, so the British are also careful to attack, the battleship is not close to the shore at all, if it is changed to the same level, even if the range is about a kilometer smaller, not nearly half of the gap, the British will never dare to attack.

The huge difference between battleships and land-based batteries makes naval battles unless they are under the premise of absolute superiority, otherwise, battleships rarely attack naval fortresses with sufficient protection, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, these maritime hubs operated by the British for many years, have really not been attacked, the only one that has been attacked is Singapore, but the Strait of Malacca is not only spacious, Japan also took it with the help of part of the army forces, and it is difficult to rely solely on the navy.

In the era of battleships, at most tens of kilometers of coast were affected, but the era of aircraft carriers was different, a combat radius of more than 300 kilometers, in principle, with a combat range of 300 kilometers, which is already much stronger than the era of battleships, especially China, which is no longer the first generation of aircraft carriers, the second generation of aircraft carriers with steam catapults, which can catapult heavy and even quasi-heavy aircraft, has appeared, not to mention, the 2000 km combat radius of medium aircraft carriers, the 3000 km combat radius of quasi-heavy aircraft, It is equivalent to saying that the east and west parts of the Pacific Railroad are full length, that is, as long as China wants to, the entire United States is within his envelope.

This is the difference in science and technology, if a person runs to the era of cold weapons in feudal society, and tells those soldiers that he has a weapon that can kill anyone indiscriminately, and can even use 2 people against 1000 people, I'm afraid no one will believe it, and in the era of sail warships, someone told him that a ship can carry 10 15-inch guns, and can run at a speed of more than 25 knots, and even has armor a few centimeters thick, immune to most attacks, this will not be believed, some people said during World War I, Don't stand in the trench, concentrate so many people, a mushroom bullet can kill all the people within a radius of several kilometers, you know, with the density of World War I, there are at least 70,000 people in a radius of one kilometer, and if it is three or four kilometers, it is hundreds of thousands. Of course, the thermite incendiary bombs of later generations can also do it, and even to a certain extent, it is better than that of mushroom bombs, but that is another kind of technology, and so far, China has only had preliminary research results.

In order to plan for the Chen Cang, China not only used a large number of aircraft, but also used aircraft carriers, which were able to cover a range of 300 kilometers during World War II, and now the limit can even reach 3000 kilometers of aircraft carriers, in fact, it has a great deterrent effect on land, just like the United States in later generations, the reason why he can deter the whole world with aircraft carriers is not the aircraft carrier itself, but the carrier-based aircraft and cruise missiles on the aircraft carrier, to put it bluntly, the aircraft carrier is just a weapon platform, Transporting weapons and equipment to weapons platforms thousands of miles away.

These Americans don't know that the imbalance in cognition made the Americans easily issue a resolution that the United States later regretted infinitely, and this resolution made at least 100,000 U.S. troops completely cut off into the central mountain range, and very few survived in the end, but at this moment, the Americans did not know that the joint conference, which issued an order to the garrison on the west coast of the United States, quickly reached the hands of these people in power on the west coast through cable telegraphs.

The experienced center sees it this way, not to mention these people in power, they value the power in their hands more, before, just attacked Salt Lake City and cut off the Pacific Railroad, which made them feel painful, and they were eager to send infantry to hinder the Japanese from crossing west, but now, even Sacramento, which was close at hand, was attacked, of course, they couldn't sit still, maybe, if they waited any longer, even they would be finished.

The initial war, or offense, may make people angry and angry, and only if it hurts them, and makes them feel that they can't win the war at all, it is possible to divide them, and the ant waves its claws at the lion, and the lion may not care at all, but when the lion faces the rabbit, the rabbit can only run away.

Japan and the United States, before a weak rabbit, now gradually bigger, in the eyes of most Americans may think of it as a dog, may bite people, but gradually develop, when the Americans' losses increase, realize that Japan is a wolf, or even a pack of wolves, the final result is absolutely different.

China's Chen Cang Plan and the American Cherry Blossom Plan, in order to prepare for the division of the United States, but to split a country, you can't go hard, that will cause turmoil, Lincoln in the Civil War, for the Americans to reshape the country's theory, although it has not been completely precipitated, but do not encounter an extreme state, or the worst state, the Americans are also willing to protect the integrity of a country, this can be seen from the central government after the order, the three states on the west coast immediately sent troops regardless of the cost, it can be seen, In this case, there is only one way to solve the problem, that is, to continue to fight until they completely lose confidence.
