Volume 14 The Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 122 is out of control
Makoto. There is no need for the concubine and the state to carry out a strategic attack on the United States
Many people think that when it comes to bowing the year. Because the United States has lost its strategic potential and is surrounded by republics, as long as the authorities of the republics are willing to make concessions on some issues, they can end the war in a peaceful way, and even occupy the United States, so there is no need for a full-scale strategic attack on the United States.
Regardless of the rights or wrongs of this argument for the time being, we must first admit that once the strategic strike begins, it will be very difficult to stop.
For the decision-makers of the republic, strategic strikes are undoubtedly an effective way to relieve pressure and shirk responsibility. To put it bluntly, it's not a single person or a small group that makes decisions. It is the Supreme High Command, and this highest decision-making body in wartime is actually composed of the Yuan Government, the Plenary Congress, the Political Consultative Conference, the State Council, the General Staff, and various non-governmental organizations. Even in this institution, the meta has the highest voice and the final decision-making power, and no major decision is made by one person. It can be seen from this that strategic decision-making is a collective decision, so a comprehensive strategic attack on the United States is also a collective decision, and even if this decision goes wrong, no one person will be held responsible. What's more, this relationship of responsibility is irreversible. In other words, if a strategic strike is approved and heavy losses are caused, it is not only Pei Chengyi who needs to be held responsible, but also the entire decision-making body, and the result is that Pei Chengyi will not be held responsible. On the contrary, if a strategic strike is caused by heavy losses because it was not approved, since Pei Chengyi vetoed it alone, he must be held responsible, not the entire decision-making body.
This situation. It exists in any country.
Before World War III, the most striking example of this was when Truman approved the strategic decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan near the end of World War II. You must know that from an after-the-fact perspective, the United States used the atomic bomb against Japan in August of that year, which was almost a superfluous move. Under the circumstances, even if the US military did not land on the Japanese mainland, even if the strategic bombing was stopped. As long as the strategic blockade is maintained, because of the severe famine, Japan will also surrender when winter comes, and it is impossible to hold out until the Peng year, and the United States will not be lost, Tian Wan officers and soldiers. The question is. Under the circumstances, as the top decision-maker in the United States, Truman had little choice on whether or not to use the atomic bomb. In terms of the evaluation of later generations, Truman was far from being a strategic leader like Roosevelt, and at most he was a stinky little boy in the political arena. It is impossible for him to have the strategic vision and courage of Roosevelt and make major strategic decisions that can affect the entire world. In order to avoid responsibility, especially for the sake of thousands of American officers and soldiers, Truman had no choice. Only the atomic bomb could be used to put an end to the war.
Of course, there must be people who believe that Pei Chengyi is by no means a person like Truman and should not make the same mistakes.
In fact, it is true that Pei Chengyi's decision-making ability in this war is not only far greater than that of Truman more than four years ago, but also that of Roosevelt back then.
The problem is that there are always different troubles in different eras.
In a sense, those who supported Truman's dropping of atomic bombs on Japan had their own ideas, and the ultimate goal was to consolidate the hegemony of the United States. You know, after the end of World War II, the United States faced an even worse mess than after World War I. Then. With the exception of the United States, the entire Western world was in ruins, with traditional powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy all devastated by the war, and even Britain, which was in the best situation, had to give up the crown of the empire on which the sun never set. Give world hegemony to the former colonies. Correspondingly, the international ** movement under the leadership of the Soviet Union has intensified, and in the Eastern European Plain, there are millions of armored troops who have been tempered by war. It can be said that if the United States wants to lead the world, it must first resist the red tide. It is precisely in this way that there is the "Marshall Plan" that helped the entire Western world to rejuvenate the problem: an economic plan has no meaning for the million-strong Red Army that is poised for it, let alone it is impossible to stop the torrent of steel. Although with the national strength of the United States in the post-war period, it has the ability to deploy millions of troops in Europe. And at the end of World War II, there were millions of European legions in the United States. But the cost of doing so is obviously too great, and it will inevitably have a negative impact on the postwar development of the United States. It could even deprive the United States of the opportunity to become a global leader. Relatively speaking, the heart caused by two atomic bombs, the butterfly sound, and let the Red Army honestly stay behind the Iron Curtain, is the most ideal choice. You must know that after the end of World War II, the United States discharged tens of millions of soldiers, replenishing a large number of labor force for society, and these people were the key force in the post-war recovery of the United States. Then. The ground forces left by the United States on the European continent were less than a division, while the Red Army on the opposite side had a division. If the two atomic bombs had not been bombed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I am afraid that World War III would not have dragged on for more than four years.
It can be said that this is also the problem of Pei Chengyi's return.
In a certain sense, the Republican ** team displayed a large number of advanced weapons and equipment at the end of the war, which was basically the same as the purpose of carrying out a strategic attack on the United States.
The problem is that in World War III, there was no such epoch-making weapon as the atomic bomb.
Although long before the outbreak of the Third World War. The basic concept of the sixth generation of nuclear weapons, the so-called "antimatter bomb", has been proposed. And it is predicted that this kind of body clam weapon not only has the ability to destroy the entire human race, but also has the power to destroy the entire earth, but this kind of powerful bomb that can blow a planet into pieces has not been successfully developed, at least not highly valued. In addition to antimatter bombs, there are a lot of new concept weapons. For example, meteorological weapons, geological weapons, genetic weapons, and so on, but none of these weapons can inherently surpass nuclear weapons, that is, they have no other utility than destruction.
As a result of this, no amount of advanced weapons can replace strategic bombing.
In order to achieve the greatest shock effect, so that the Republic can become the world hegemon after the war without any suspense, and buy time to restore the country, instead of quickly falling into the next war after the war, it is necessary not only to carry out a comprehensive strategic attack on the United States homeland, but also to use all its strength to strike this blow in the least amount of time.
This is the fundamental reason why the Supreme High Command of the Republic approved the strategic strike operation. Of course, this is just the beginning.
Actual combat has long proven that strategic strikes are the most effective means to break the enemy's will to resist and strain the enemy's morale, and it is also the best choice for weakening the enemy's war potential. Long before approaching the continental United States, the Celestial Forces of the Republic carried out limited strategic strikes against strategic targets on the continental United States, especially some key targets. Of these operations, the most famous, and the most important, was naturally the strategic bombing of the approach area.
This bombing almost completely disintegrated the strategic foundation of the United States.
As we all know, the key to the rapid rise of the republic and the leadership of the electric revolution is to master the normal temperature conduction technology, and the source of this technology is a mysterious substance. According to unconfirmed information, this mysterious substance either belongs to the prehistoric civilization of the earth, or belongs to the extraterrestrial civilization, that is, the so-called extraterrestrial civilization, and is definitely not a product of human civilization. What's more. The fact that the United States was able to keep up with the Republic, to make a difference in the electric revolution, and to master the technology of room temperature conductivity has a lot to do with some of the technologies it has mastered for non-human civilizations, and these technologies all came from a downed flying saucer, which was stored in the heavily damaged flying saucer in the US military base known as the Japanese zone.
For the time being, whether the mysterious substance is more powerful or the UFO wreckage is better.
To be fair, this sudden bombing campaign largely ended the pre-science and technology research work of the United States, including the crucial quantum communications.
As mentioned earlier, quantum theory itself is not complicated. There aren't many secrets to speak of, either. The application of quantum theory in the field of communication has long received great attention from countries around the world, and there is only one technical calm, that is, how to obtain and store two or more homomorphic quanta.
Only by solving this problem can there be a way to make quantum theory a reality.
According to some data published after the war, the United States did not study in the relevant field later than the Republic. The investment is not much less than in the republic. The way to obtain homomorphic quanta is to build a large adder that allows the particles to collide close to light, resulting in a qualitative change and homomorphic quantum. The challenge is how to capture and maintain these homomorphic quanta. According to the relevant information released by the Republic, at about the beginning of the year, scientists from the National Physics Experiment Center found a solution, and through more than three years of hard work, it became a reality in the second half of the year, so it was only in the second year that the quantum communication equipment and the consciousness remote control system were developed. Judging from the scientific research of the two countries in this field, the breakthrough of the United States will not be later than the end of February, that is, if everything goes well, from the end of the year to the beginning of the year. Scientists in the United States will be able to build quantum communication devices. It was in this way that in the concave year, the authorities of the republic approved a bombing campaign against the pilot area. And let the Celestial Army take on the relevant tasks. After more than half a year of preparation, at the beginning of the fourth year, the Republican Celestial Army was at the expense of many air-space fighters. blew up the U.S. lead zone and abruptly halted U.S. research in the field of quantum communications. Although in the retaliatory strike, the United States also blew up the second part of the National Physics Experiment Center of the Republic and caused the world's largest annular adder to stop operating for more than a year, but the Republic has made a major breakthrough in related fields, so when the ring retractor was put into use at the end of the year, the Republic immediately manufactured a large number of quantum communication equipment.
It is conceivable that without this bombing campaign, the situation of the war would definitely be different.
After tasting the sweetness, the strategic bombing of the mainland of the United States by the Celestial Army of the Republic has not stopped, but the scale is very limited until the end of the year. What's more, from the beginning of the field, with the mass entry into service of aerospace fighters. Plus in other theaters of war a large number of strategic bombers are needed, especially the range is too long! Long-range cruise missiles with a power of ten meters were depleted in previous battles. The strategic bombing of the continental United States by the Space Forces of the Republic was all handed over to the aerospace fighters, and the scale of the bombing was thus much reduced.
As such, the Southwest Pacific, Eurasia and the Middle East are getting more attention.
In the vast maritime theater, especially in the direction of the US mainland, the heavy responsibility of strategic strikes falls to the navy.
In a certain sense, it is precisely because the navy occupies an absolutely dominant position in the Pacific theater that it is difficult for the space force to replace the navy in strategic strikes against the United States. More importantly, the influence of the Navy in the High Command of the Republic was very great. Not only has it passed the Heavenly Army, but also passed Lu Yijiu, it is very understandable that Mu Chengyi will not let Yuan Chenhao monopolize the power, so he will "come to Hua Jianfenghang." It is to use the naval power cultivated by Lin Xiaolei to balance the influence of the army, so that the strategic decision-making power of the republic is in the hands of Yuan, rather than under the control of the chief of the general staff.
In fact, even if these factors are not taken into account. In a strategic attack on the United States, the position of the Navy remains irreplaceable.
The reason is simple: without the seaborne forces controlled by the Navy, the combat operations of other branches of the armed forces cannot be carried out.
From an economic point of view, the navy is also a more desirable choice.
Although the precision bombing of the space forces is more effective than the all-round artillery bombardment of the navy when striking at military strategic targets, the combat efficiency of the navy far exceeds that of the sky forces when dealing with large regional targets such as towns, military bases, industrial zones, and transportation hubs. For example, in a large city with a population of one million kilometers away, the total value of artillery shells consumed by the navy is only one-tenth of the total value of the bombs consumed by the space army, and the combat efficiency of the navy is equivalent to 20 times that of the space army, including the cost ratio of warships and bombers. If sea and air supremacy are seized, the fleet's safety will be guaranteed, and the combat efficiency will be increased several times if the battleships are replaced by firepower ships with higher efficiency-cost ratios.
It can be said that this is also the fundamental reason for the support of the top of the republic for the Navy to take on the main strike mission.
Anyway, in order to win this war. The republic has already paid a huge price. With victory already within reach, both the leaders of the republic and ordinary citizens are considering whether it is necessary to pay a greater price for the final victory, or whether it can be won at the least cost.
This view is reflected in many places, such as in Europe on the Jewish question
Step. More importantly, the republic is not very experienced in strategic strikes.
Although in the more than 4o years before the outbreak of the Third World War, the Republic was the largest among the major powers in the world, fighting an average of one large-scale local war every year. Every five years, a total of millions of soldiers have shed their blood on the battlefield in the equivalent of four generations, but only two wars have been fought against major and powerful countries, namely the war between Japan and India. It's a pity. Neither of these two large-scale regional wars has much value for reference. Even if Japan's strategic strike is very successful, it will be difficult to replicate it in the United States. The war in India was dominated by ground operations, and strategic strikes did not account for a large proportion, and they were not the main factor in defeating India. As a result, during the Great War, the Republic did not use the blockade to disintegrate Australia and New Zealand, but sent Australia back to the Stone Age through strategic bombing that lasted for more than a year. Through the strategic bombing of Australia, the Republic's Navy and Space Forces have accumulated a lot of experience, such as the dispatch rate of bombers, such as the dispatch and preparation of materials, and so on. The problem is that Australia is actually not a very representative country, and the main bombing area is less than 10,000 square kilometers, which is only half of Europe. Or a quarter of the continental United States. What's more, Australia's air defense is so weak that it cannot be compared with the US mainland. Of course, the difficulty of transporting supplies to the Southwest Pacific from the Republic itself is very different from that of the North Atlantic.
Without enough experience, the Republican ** team has to accumulate experience in actual combat.
That is, a strategic strike cannot be achieved overnight. Even if the basic strategy is set, how to fight it will have to be decided by the actual combat results.
It is precisely in this way that the Supreme High Command of the Republic put the Navy into battle with the Celestial Army.
At this point, even if Pei Chengyi thinks it is unnecessary, he will not be able to prevent the strategic strike, let alone change the strategic plan at the risk of countering the purpose of domestic interest groups. You know, while destroying the United States, a strategic strike has also saved the jobs of tens of thousands of citizens of the republic. Take the arms group as an example, even if it is early in the foundation. The decision to make a strategic change of production was made by the authorities of the Republic. That is, to reduce support for the arms industry and to shift the country's productive forces to industries related to post-war reconstruction, such as reducing the production of tanks and combat vehicles by two percent. Increase the output of construction vehicles and civil vehicles by 50%. But in the absence of the end of the war, the production capacity of the arms industry still far exceeds the actual demand. What's worse is that. The collapse of the United States has survived expectations, and many of the battles on important battlefields have not been as fierce as expected, so the Republic has hoarded more military supplies than expected, and if it does not find a way to consume the excess military supplies, thousands of workers will lose their jobs.
Even the non-arms industry has a great thirst for war. If there is no large-scale destruction of the factories that produce engineering equipment, there will be a comprehensive and thorough reconstruction, and without large-scale reconstruction, there will be no need to produce enough engineering equipment, and the production capacity that was expanded during the war will be quickly surplus after the war.
All these are the driving forces for strategic strikes.
Of course, this is also the fundamental driving force of human self-destruction!
