Baotou, Army Staff Headquarters, nearly an hour after the discussion began, when no one could convince anyone, Cai Ye finally arrived, as one of China's few senior officers, although Cai Ye is under Feng Yuxiang, but the influence is above Jiang Baili, he is the only one in China who has won the title of God of War, whether it is the war against Russia or the war against Japan, he has achieved a complete victory.

As a high-level member of the army, in recent years, when the generals below have come to the fore, Cai Ye has ceased to command operations, focusing on the management of the entire army, and the staff department he is responsible for has become the pillar of the Chinese army, and almost all the actions of the army are led by the general staff.

When Cai Ye came in, Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Baili were still arguing, although there was no quarrel, but no one could convince anyone, Cai Ye simply understood the situation, and heard that it was still Jiang Baili and Feng Yuxiang, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, although in terms of personal relationship, he and Jiang Baili were closer, they were all classmates of Lu Shi, and even Cai Ye was able to stay, thanks to Jiang Baili's persuasion, but in terms of strategy, he and Feng Yuxiang had a common language, and when Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun went to Germany to study, he stayed in China, many times served in various official positions in the new army, although not too high, but after the experience of officialdom, he and Feng Yuxiang, like Feng Yuxiang, have a little political acumen, plus after entering the Northwest Army, although the northwest does not have so many rules and regulations, so many struggles for power and profit, but where there are people, there are still rivers and lakes, on this point, he agrees with Feng Yuxiang's opinion, he sees it more clearly, and it is quite in line with China's strategic intentions.

The United States is very strong, after knowing what the United States has done during this time, whether it is the consumption of the United States to fully support the Entente, sending millions of troops in Europe, and millions in Alaska, and even under the premise that the war situation is not going well, it has also taken out tens of thousands of tanks at once.

In the face of the facts, many high-level Chinese leaders have begun to realize that the United States is a powerful country second only to China and the biggest enemy of China's rise, and no matter whether this plan can be implemented or not, as long as it achieves phased results, it can also weaken the United States, and if the ultimate goal is achieved, as long as the United States is divided for three to five or seven years, the weakening of the United States will definitely be huge, and even if the United States is really gifted, the missed opportunity will be missed forever and will never come back.

Only Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Baili, no one can convince anyone on this issue, but Cai Yi, the middleman, plus he is familiar with the personalities of the two people, under his persuasion, Jiang Baili also reluctantly agreed with their opinions, giving the greatest support to the special forces, which is actually the support of the highest authority, and even used the ultimate power, the support of the aircraft carrier battle group.

In the end, the special forces will not only be supported by the Sakura Airport in Alaska, but also by the aircraft carrier battle group in the Pacific Ocean, which is wandering 1,500 kilometers away from the American coastline.

The American continent is too big, North America is not small, with a total area of more than 24 million square kilometers, from the northernmost Alaska to the central hinterland of the United States, the distance is far away, Sakura Airport is located in the hinterland of Alaska, from Salt Lake City, the United States, where the new army is now located, at least 4500 kilometers, the plane can cross the distance limit, within a day, you can fly from Alaska to the central United States, which is enough in transporting troops and airdropping supplies, but in the war, this is simply not enough.

Even if the plane is at full speed, at a speed of about 600 kilometers, it will take at least 7 and a half hours to get from Sakura Airport to the central United States, and if there is a little delay, more than 10 hours is normal.

Compared with the distance of nearly 5,000 kilometers, let alone 7 hours, 10 hours, it is fast enough, but on the battlefield, a crisis may soon appear, with the level of 5,000 tanks of the new first army, it is impossible to lose in one or two hours, and even maneuver, two or three days can be maneuvered, but on the body of the special forces, it will not work, although the special forces are strong, they are not armored forces like tanks, he is an ordinary soldier, even in many cases, he can be one as ten, one as a hundred, but if you really want to block them, the other party has the advantage in all aspects, the crisis may be imminent, seven or eight hours, it is really fatal, maybe the daylilies are cold, and the planes come the most, but it is just to vent their anger after the failure of the special forces.

As for the direct dispatch of aircraft to escort, this is somewhat unrealistic, from the cherry blossom airport to the Rocky Mountains of the United States, too far away, China's strategic bombers, although they have a huge range, but this huge range is not unlimited, this range is not enough for strategic bombers, for a long time for special forces escort, China's strategic bombers, the maximum combat range can reach 7000 kilometers, but that is to sacrifice the load capacity, the premise of installing auxiliary fuel tanks, generally speaking, are about 6000 kilometers, very huge, However, to keep the margin, you can hover over for two or three hours at most.

It took more than 20 hours to escort the convoy for only two or three hours, and under certain circumstances, I don't know what the state of the war is, and the number of planes used has not been decided, and the strategic bombers that China may send cannot guarantee all-weather escort, which is too cost-effective.

In the detailed rules for the implementation of the Chen Cang plan, there is a use of aircraft carriers at critical moments, which is to let aircraft carriers replace strategic bombers far away in Alaska to escort escorts, although so far, aircraft carriers can only take off medium-sized bombers, but the bomb load of China's medium-sized bombers is also more than 10 tons, plus the distance is much closer, and the time that can stay in the air is also long, and it can carry out escort missions.

The aircraft carrier represents China, the highest standard of hidden power, which is China's key weapon against the United States in the future, between China and the United States, almost certainly in the Pacific Ocean, an unimaginable war, before the outbreak of war, China absolutely does not expect him to be exposed. However, after the special forces entered the Rocky Mountains of the United States, in order to ensure the safety of the entire special forces, the aircraft carrier had to be used, and only the aircraft carrier battle group could ensure the safety of the special forces at close range.

If it was only the Sakura Plan and the Chen Cang Plan itself, there would be a small number of people who supported Jiang Baili, because those two plans were achieved to a high degree, and only a few people such as Jiang Baili did not see the possibility of splitting the United States, but only saw the actual goals above, but other people were different, and many people saw the benefits of the above, as long as there was a 1 percent chance of success, they had to work hard, because after success, it may be a goal that cannot be achieved by using thousands of troops.

Simply send a little support, and special forces can go out, even if it doesn't succeed, to the extent of China, 3000000 square kilometers of land, nearly 900 million people, such a big plate, even if all of these are lost, it should not be said that the loss of hundreds or thousands of times can be bearable, but once successful, it is a big bargain.

When it comes to the issue of aircraft carriers, many people can't figure it out, there are many people who oppose it, and even many people don't think that sending aircraft carriers is the most necessary. Feng Yuxiang and Cai Yi have always been committed to convincing Jiang Baili that an aircraft carrier battle group 1,500 kilometers away from the US coastline is absolutely different from an aircraft carrier battle group 150 kilometers away from the coastline.

Of course, as senior officers, they don't care about those special forces, when they get to their position, even if it is a special force that has invested a lot of money and has been carefully developed, it is also a bargaining chip, but it is just whether the sacrifice is worth it, but the reason why they want to use aircraft carriers to press the formation is to avoid special circumstances, and it is nothing to lose a little special forces, but it has reached such a juncture, Japan's patchwork of armored forces can hit the Pacific Railway, and cut it off, China has used so many efforts, It is completely unacceptable that even the strongest special forces have been secretly dispatched, but they cannot destroy, or completely destroy, the railway line in the Rocky Mountains, and since it has reached this point, it is the most correct thing to do everything well.

This is also the focus of contention between the two sides, one side believes that in order to ensure the superiority of the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier will not be used, even if it fails this time, the other opinion is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once this opportunity is lost, after the Americans have been prepared in the future, it will be extremely difficult to sneak attack the Pacific Railway again, or even cut off it, and it is almost impossible to lose this opportunity and look for such an opportunity again.

The importance of the Pacific Railway, in the eyes of both sides, is slightly different, but the meaning of the aircraft carrier is also different, China under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, hiding things has become a habit, many people can not accept, directly exposed aircraft carriers, in order to achieve the victory of the Chen Cang plan, this seems to be a bit more than worth the loss.

The two sides have been fighting for a long time, since Japan provided the cherry blossom plan, they began to debate each other, until now, there are not many voices of opposition in general, but Jiang Baili and others still adhere to the basic principle of not using aircraft carriers, which makes Feng Yuxiang quite a headache, when Cai Ye appeared, Feng Yuxiang seemed to see a life-saving straw, and took the initiative to ask Cai Ye for help.
