Force Fleet Lose Rice! After. The loss of sea supremacy is only a matter of early course

In the case where the Republican Navy strikes Cape Calavera and Houston first, the first thing the US authorities should consider is not to transfer and protect the cities of the Gulf Coast, but to maintain the space launch capability, that is, how to maintain the ability to compete with the Republic for space supremacy.

At this time, the authorities of the republic were also faced with a difficult decision.

Should a strategic strike be carried out as soon as possible?

The Navy has proven in action that high-intensity firepower delivery can inflict devastating blows on strategic targets in the continental United States, and that artillery bombardment is not necessarily less effective than strategic bombing. Although the United States is the fourth largest country in the world, the mainland is less than 10,000 square kilometers, and the straight-line distance from inland towns to the coastline is no more than a kilometer from Weikou. If a gunboat had sailed up the Toronto River in Canada into the Great Lakes, it would have been no more than a kilometre away from any town in the interior of the United States. That is, even without relying on the Space Forces, the Navy is capable of delivering a strategic strike on its own.

Affected by this, on the last day of the short year, the Navy submitted a detailed strategic strike plan.

If this strategy is supported by the Supreme High Command, it means that the Celestial Forces are excluded from strategic strike operations, or at least no longer the dominant force in strategic strike operations.

There is no doubt that the Celestial Army will never let this become a reality.

On the 3rd of the year, the Celestial Army of the Republic carried out the first large-scale strategic bombing of strategic targets on the US mainland without being too well prepared.

What's more, the Celestial Army is also dispatching the latest weapon: the first generation of consciousness remote-controlled air-space bombers.

"Aerospace bomber" this one. The concept has only appeared, and it is not new. The problem is that since the first artificial satellite entered space, for nearly a hundred years, the aerospace bomber has always remained in the theoretical stage, and it was not until the 4o years of the century that the test flight was carried out, and it was not fully popularized in the case of the Third World War for several years, and a very key reason is that the pilot's body is too weak.

Putting aside combat operations for the time being, even if it is a normal shot, the astronauts will have to endure a huge override!

In order for astronauts to smoothly enter space, during the launch stage, they not only have to wear bulky anti-load suits. It is also necessary to fix it on the seat, and in some cases even use pressure to improve the load resistance, which is not practical to apply in the military. As a weapon platform capable of flying freely inside and outside the atmosphere, and completing combat missions in extremely harsh conditions. Even if you want to strapped the pilot to the seat, you have to give the pilot the control, rather than leaving everything to the computer, as astronauts do.

In this way, the use of conscious control is required.

The problem is that under excessively high overloads, the reliability of the consciousness control system is not at all high.

This problem has become an obstacle on the road to the aerospace bomber exhibition.

Of course, someone has long thought about controlling bombers by remote control. The problem is that in the case of only electromagnetic communication equipment, the interference of the ionosphere to radio waves must be taken into account, even if the electromagnetic interference on the battlefield is not taken into account, so in the absence of more ideal communication equipment. Remotely operated aerospace bombers are also unrealistic.

It is precisely for this reason that the air-space bombers that were put into actual combat before the bowing year are actually not air-space bombers in the true sense, at least not all-airspace combat aircraft. These aerospace bombers can often only fight outside the atmosphere, and when they enter the atmosphere, their combat performance is not even comparable to that of the bombers of the previous year, let alone the "ultimate" fighters such as the Joker. As a result, the contribution of aerospace bombers on the battlefield is very limited, often relying on almost unlimited endurance. It takes off from the mainland, strikes important targets in enemy territory and mainly drops kinetic munitions outside the atmosphere, and rarely enters the atmosphere above the target. Because combat use is very limited. Therefore, both the Republican Celestial Army and the U.S. Celestial Force have focused on developing a new generation of control systems. And there is no mass production of not very mature aerospace bombers, and there are not even too high requirements for the performance of aerospace bombers. Affected by this. The aerospace bombers that were put into use before the bow year are more like heavyweight aerospace fighters, that is, the bomb-carrying capacity is relatively limited, and they can only carry out precise strikes on important targets, and the targets that can be hit by a single sortie are very limited, far less than bombers in the real sense. In a sense, quantum communication technology can be widely used in Xinnian, and the number one contributor is the Republic Heavenly Army.

According to the information released after the war, in terms of the development of quantum communication technology, the Celestial Army provided the funds for the development of the field and undertook the basic construction of the field, while the Navy only provided the funds for the rui and undertook the work of the nephew (in addition, the funds for the pea and the gills were jointly borne by the army and the marines). Because the difficulty of driving is very huge. Especially at the most basic level, the successive failures have dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the research team. At one time, some people even thought that it was difficult for quantum technology to get out of the laboratory, so the navy, which had a low demand for quantum technology, once planned to terminate the operation and turn the scientific research success that had already been achieved into a technical reserve. Divert valuable resources on other areas, such as firing more powerful electromagnetic cannons (the Republic Navy was already working on it. The kilogram-level electromagnetic cannon even put forward the idea of the opening of the blade kilogram-level and the heart concave kilogram-level electromagnetic cannon. In order to make these crazy schemes, with the support of the Supreme High Command. The Navy also invested heavily in the different body clam Minggong of the spiral adder, and proposed to replace the rocket with a spiral electromagnetic forgiveness device for the state fluke. Theoretically, the use of electromagnetic guns to launch space equipment can increase the efficiency of space launch by dozens of times, and reduce the cost of space launch by more than ninety percent). If it weren't for the insistence of the Celestial Army Even if the Navy was once threatened by terminating all cooperative projects, I am afraid that the work of quantum communication technology would have ended long ago, and it would be impossible to open quantum communication equipment with practical value during the war.

Similarly, the supporting related technologies are also jointly developed by the space army and the navy.

Because quantum communication is not affected by space distances or even any natural environment, there is no difference between the use of quantum communication devices in remotely piloted fighters and in aerospace bombers. In the same way, the consciousness remote control system is only a control system that replaces the limbs, and has little to do with the object being manipulated. Let's put it simply. The use of the consciousness remote control system used in the remote control fighter for the air and space bomber only requires the adjustment of the control software, and there are almost no special requirements for the hardware. There is no need to make special adjustments.

The question is. No one thought that the Navy of the Republic would be able to advance the front to the Gulf of Mexico at the beginning of the leg!

Affected by this, at the strong request of the Navy, the Supreme High Command made a decision to give priority to ensuring the supply of the Navy, and the direct result was that the remote-controlled fighter was mass-produced in the early years and in the "Christmas naval battle." With the capital ships not firing a single shot, the US Navy completely annihilated the main fleet of the US Navy, and won the most fruitful and final decisive battle at sea since the beginning of the war. Of course, there is another result. The first type of air-space bombardment aircraft of the Republic's Space Forces with all-airspace combat capability was officially mass-produced in the fourth quarter of a short year. This is still the result of the efforts of the Celestial Army, if according to the initial production arrangement, it will not be until the second quarter of the year that the mass production of aerospace bombers will be carried out!

It is precisely because of this that by the beginning of the year, the air and space bombers received by the Space Forces of the Republic were less than recesses, and half of them were still being debugged and did not have combat capability!

In order to demonstrate the strength of the Celestial Army, especially the power of strategic bombing, the Celestial Army must act.

If you don't have a blade bomber, you can only do focused bombing.

Because the Navy first attacked the US space launch center, and seizing space supremacy is the task of the Space Force, not the Navy, the Space Force has no choice but to target the space control center on the US mainland.

There is no doubt that strategic bombing is much more civilized.

According to the combat records of the Space Army, the overhead air-space bombers participating in the bombing operation must have successfully reached the airspace over the target (the other two returned early due to malfunction during the flight) and dropped various types of ammunition. There are more than four, and the total number of bombs dropped is less. Stew. Only one percent of the consumption of ammunition for naval shelling. Correspondingly, the overhead bombers struck a total of strategic targets, and destroyed them all!

From the point of view of the efficiency of ammunition use, it is undoubtedly far more than the artillery poison of the Navy.

Of course, the effectiveness of the blow cannot be measured entirely by the amount of bombs dropped. The reason is simple: the aerospace bomber mainly uses kinetic munitions, which are much more powerful than artillery shells of the same mass, and have a more significant effectiveness against reinforced targets, especially those buried deep underground. For example, when attacking an underground command center in Casper, Wyoming, an air and space bomber dropped five kinetic energy bombs in succession at intervals of seconds, completely destroying the base. Even if the firing range is not considered, the same kilogram-level electromagnetic cannon shells are used, and with the same hit accuracy, it will take hundreds of them to destroy all the targets. Because the accuracy of artillery shells is far inferior to kinetic bombs, and the longer the range, the greater the dispersion range, so the actual ammunition consumption will increase several times, or even dozens of times.

And more importantly, when dealing with military targets. The collateral damage from the blast is much lower.

All in all, the combat efficiency of an air-space bomber is much higher than that of a gunboat in the Navy.

The problem is that this is a world war, not a local war. At some point, too high combat efficiency, and too civilized means of warfare. On the contrary, it is not necessarily beneficial. To know. If a city can be leveled overnight, or even in a few tens of minutes, without the use of nuclear weapons with permanent polluting effects, it will certainly inflict permanent mental trauma on the victims, especially those who have witnessed or experienced the blow, as well as a huge psychological blow to the recalcitrant enemy.

To put it simply, every devastating strategic strike is an ultimatum to the US authorities.

The "civilized bombardment" of the Celestial Army can be used against military targets, especially those that are far away from towns and are protected by Yin Mi, but not necessarily against towns.

At this time, if it were not for a sudden incident, I am afraid that all the large cities with a population of more than 40,000 in the United States would be bombarded by several main fleets of the Republic Navy in the next six months. This sudden incident was when the U.S. military blew up the locks of the Panama Canal. It also used a huge explosion equivalent to 10,000 tons of force to create an earthquake with a intensity of no less than 6, completely blocking the Panama Canal.

It can be said that the biggest victim of this accident is the Navy of the Republic.

Although the actions of the US military rescued thousands of Marine Corps officers and soldiers, and also saved the Navy from the combat operations of attacking the Panama Canal and occupying Central America, the Panama movement was like a broken mountain! Later, the Navy's logistical support relied on the blind braltar navigation, and there were not many transshipment points on one route, and the navigable capacity of the Suez Canal was limited, so some materials must have to take the Cape of Good Hope route, and the transportation pressure would not only not be relieved, but would be improved. To make matters worse, the Navy of the Republic had to make a big decision about whether to keep a fleet in the Pacific Ocean strong enough to strike at targets on the west coast of the continental United States.

Affected by this, at the end of the year, the high command of the Republic made a major decision, that is, the task of striking important military targets and major towns in the northwest region of the United States mainland was the responsibility of the Celestial Army. After destroying major naval bases and shipyards on the West Coast of the continental United States, the Navy sent all of its combat fleets to the Atlantic.

Neither the Celestial Army nor the Navy have anything to say about this arrangement.

At the beginning of the day, the Celestial Forces took the lead in the operation, using sea bases deployed in the North and Eastern Pacific. Concentration of thousands of strategic bombers. Strategic bombing of military targets and major towns in the northwestern territories of the continental United States, namely Washington, Montana, Orenet, Idaho, and Wyoming.

Because the production of aerospace bombers has not kept up, and the number of reserves is still very limited, the Republican Space Force has to use strategic bombers as the main force, and will only dispatch aerospace bombers when dealing with some particularly critical targets and particularly dangerous military targets.

At the same time, the Navy also dagged strategic strikes codenamed "Broomstick" in the Pacific Ocean. Concentrated 4 main fleets with ? The air fleet carried out all-out strikes on naval bases such as Everett, Bremerton, Long Beach, and San Diego, as well as major ports such as Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles, in order to completely disintegrate the combat capability of the US military in the Pacific region.

At this time, the focus of the Republican Navy was not on the Pacific Ocean.

Due to the limitation of maritime capacity, the entire combat fleet must be sent to the Atlantic. The first thing to be solved is to increase the transport capacity on the air routes, especially the ability to deliver ammunition and supplies to the front line. Undoubtedly, this is a rather complex problem that has plagued the Navy of the Republic for several years.

What is even more important is that the Navy of the Republic must adjust its strategic strike plan.

Because the Supreme Command only put the Celestial Army in charge of striking at the northwest region of the United States, but did not let the Celestial Army be responsible for attacking the western region of the United States, that is, California and other places, the navy should first consider bombing the area west of Rocky Mountain to the ground after transferring its forces to the Atlantic, and then deal with other areas. And so it goes. It is necessary to seize sea supremacy in the Gulf of Mexico as soon as possible, so that the main fleet can penetrate deep into the Gulf and fully wield the power of large-caliber electromagnetic guns.

As a result, the Navy had to abandon its plan to go north. Shift the focus to the Gulf of Mexico.

It must be said that this change had a very significant impact on the combat operations of the Navy of the Republic and even on the development of the war as a whole.

In any case, if you want to enter the Gulf of Mexico, you have to solve your worries first.

On 2 February, the Navy of the Republic concentrated almost all of its forces in the Atlantic, namely, eight main fleets, four air fleets, and several thousand combat aircraft from two sea base groups, to deliver an hour-long all-out strategic strike against the area around the Chesapeake Bay, that is, the eastern core of the United States, from Philadelphia in the north, through Baltimore and Washington, D.C., to Virginia Beach in the south.

This blow is not enough to describe with "shock".

According to the operational records of the Republic Navy, during this hour, about two large warships of the eight main fleets divided into two fleet groups carried out two shelling attacks each, and each time in accordance with the rules of operation, about 60% of ammunition was consumed. In other words, the ammunition delivered by the 8 main fleets is as high as 10,000 tons! Among the four concave combat planes that participated in the battle, except for the persuasion air supremacy fighters and auxiliary aircraft, the rest of the multi-role fighters carried out a total of more than concave sorties, and dropped more than 10,000 tons of bombs.

By the end of the crackdown, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and Virginia Beach were all but in ruins.

In fact, it was this blow that forced the U.S. federal government to move to Denver.

Of course, it is not these large cities that have been hit hardest, but what has been called the "cradle of the US Navy." Norfolk Naval Base. More than 10,000 tons of old ammunition dropped on this port almost wiped the entire port from the ground, not to mention the infrastructure and ships in the port, and even the pier cast in concrete was blown to pieces!

After eliminating the worries, the Navy of the Republic officially marched into the Bay of Poison Sigo.

By this time, the Navy of the Republic also had the capital to penetrate deep into the Gulf of Mexico, because it was; On 3 July, the Cuban authorities accepted the conditions offered by the Republic to enter the war as an ally of the Intensive Group. and declared war on the United States, and immediately opened its territory, territorial waters and airspace to the Republican **.

Within an hour, the Republic's naval aviation and the first batch of marines were stationed in Cuba.
