Philadelphia, located in the core of the entire United States, is one of the most economically developed areas in the United States, and is also one of the most developed areas in the United States military industry, not only has the Philadelphia Shipyard, the largest shipyard in the field of military industry in the United States, but also has the Philadelphia Heavy Manufacturing Plant, which occupies a pivotal role in the heavy weapons of the United States Army, and the artillery he produces more than 100 mm accounts for 37% of the United States Army.

However, almost a year ago, Philadelphia suffered a huge blow, under the blow of the fantasy class, the entire coastline was hit, and Philadelphia was also the hardest hit, although the Philadelphia city area, far away from the coastline, almost did not suffer a blow, but the military industrial enterprises, most of them are not in the urban area, the shipbuilding industry is lined up along the river estuary, as for the heavy industry enterprises, it is at the other end, not far from the coastline, but they are all in the range of the fantasy level.

Fortunately, China's attack on Philadelphia, but Cheng Biguang in the attack on New York, temporarily selected targets, Philadelphia is what he has heard, the United States military industry is more developed places, especially shipyards, this is a target that must be attacked, and the rest of the military factory, Cheng Biguang has no exact information, although the artillery torch can reach all the places, most of them have been plowed over, and the shells really hit the heavy artillery factory, but unfortunately this is a purposeless indiscriminate entry, hitting a dormitory building, causing more than a dozen casualties of workers, The rest doesn't hurt at all.

Fortunately, Cheng Biguang did not intend to completely destroy Philadelphia, and compared with the army's artillery factory, it was still a battleship factory that was more obvious and successful, so most of the targets were aimed at the shipyard, in addition to the key attacks on the battleships on the slipway, they also attacked shipbuilding equipment.

However, the loss of shipbuilding equipment cannot make the US military break its muscles and bones, and it is not a national heavy weapon such as a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, this thing is rarely placed on the coast, even if it is placed on the coast, it is not possible to destroy 4 battleships, and the guy who wins by weight is not easy to destroy.

After more than half a year, at this moment, Philadelphia can no longer see the fireworks of more than half a year ago, the fantasy-class attack on the United States, the powerful artillery fire, almost the entire east coast of the United States has been plowed over, not far away, above the shipyard, several battleships that are still under construction, have been destroyed, so that the United States has suffered huge losses, but also slowed down the time of the battleship's service, which is equivalent to a blow to the US military, but also made the United States realize the difference between paper strength and real strength.

This is just the beginning, the attack from New York, the bigger blow is still more than half a month later, in the Caribbean, 12 US battleships, forever sunk into the Caribbean, all of a sudden reversed the difference between the Entente and the Allies, in the navy, directly caused a series of subsequent disadvantages, it can be said that the 4 fantasy-class raid, as if the finishing touch, so that the Entente completely lost its strategic advantage at sea, and retreated step by step, China seized this rare opportunity, Not only in the Pacific Ocean, it occupies a large number of islands, including Hawaii, but also in the north, it also sends Japan to the Aleutian Islands.

One south and one north, like two open wings, only Hawaii is left in the center, this is the point of attack left by China to the United States, which is also the main point summarized by later American war research experts, the loss of Hawaii has made the United States completely lose the initiative on the battlefield, although there are still opportunities, but these opportunities are difficult to grasp, even if they are caught, the best result is to be equal with China, a decent exit from the war, not the back, tragic results.

But at this moment, Philadelphia can no longer see the damage it has suffered, time is always the best medicine, time can smooth everything, a country's industrial level, even the battleship on the slipway, is concentrated by shells, it is not impossible to use it at all, this is different from sinking into the sea, even in later generations, more than 3000 meters of sea water, it is still an area that cannot be entered, salvaging a 10,000-ton battleship, it is almost impossible, sinking into the water, there is no way to salvage it at all, There is no way to make up for it.

But on the slipway, it is different, the battleship that is close to completion, even if it has received irreparable heavy damage, can be solved, and the problem of replacing some parts is not an intractable thing for an industrial country.

On the slipway, hit there, that is, hit there, will not be sailed or towed, forming secondary damage, at most is the problem of armor-piercing bullet incoming amplitude, as long as the main keel does not suffer devastating damage, the entire structure of the ship can still be compensated, but this time has been lengthened, and the investment is also increasing. However, no matter how much investment is increased, it is much easier than restarting the construction of a battleship, especially the time cost, some parts that have been completed, there is no need to re-examine the construction, only need to replace the deformed and destroyed ones, it may only take one-third of the previous time, or even a quarter of the time, a battleship that has no shortcomings at all, and the powerful battleship may be re-launched.

China is also well aware of this, but unfortunately there is only one chance, and even if it does it again, China will not be able to do it better, and it is very good to be able to achieve such an effect, because the slipway is too far away from them to be completely destroyed.

For the current United States, money is very scarce, but more important is weapons, perhaps in the previous war, they had the opportunity to slowly expand the military industry, but this time the world war, the pace is very fast, and even the United States has not been prepared for China at all, there will be capital ships, and also dare to send four capital ships to the Americas.

This is something that the United States has never thought about before, after the United States participated in the European theater, even the warships are second only to Britain and Germany, and they have not arranged the warships in the Americas, maybe there are submarines, but there are no capital ships, this is also a surprise, this kind of blow, so that the United States can not bear it.

Before, they didn't clearly understand the important role of a battleship for the United States, but now, the fantasy class and China, with real examples, let the United States understand that without a sufficient number of warships, the United States will be nothing, huge industry, huge capital, and even unparalleled production capacity, these are all illusory in front of the battleship, the United States is passively beaten like this, there is a huge amount of money, but it can't keep Hawaii, and it is occupied by China in vain. It didn't even play a role in the slightest consumption, and ran away in a gloomy way.

Long before Japan came to Alaska, the United States wanted to counterattack in the Pacific, but there were no warships for a long time, and they watched Japan invade Alaska, and now that winter is approaching, it is impossible for the United States to send troops to Alaska, and the necessary preparations still have to be carried out, and at least 22 battleships will be launched in the spring of next year, and when the time comes, the United States will send the largest fleet to fight a decisive battle with China and Japan at sea, and in Alaska, the United States will send a large army to fight a head-on battle with the Japanese army.

To this end, the United States not only used 22 battleships, but also at least 300 large and small warships, and the most important thing is that the United States will send 2.5 million troops to fight in Canada.

Japan also knows that in order to occupy Alaska, it is not offensive but defensive, and China has briefly reported the process of the war in Australia, and when it took the Northland, China had the spare strength to attack, but they did not.

This seems a bit strange to Japan, but from the perspective of the whole strategy, it is the easiest way to win, China's investment and losses are controllable, and in 2 years, after steady and steady progress, Australia is finally in a desperate situation.

This seems to have opened a window for Japan, what China has done in Australia, most of Japan can't do, and the United States is not a weak chicken like Australia, but a similar strategy can be learned and applied to the battle of Alaska, Japan is a nation that is good at learning, and it has been established that Alaska will become the foundation of Japan's future, and even the foundation of the Great Japanese Empire.

Japan is well aware of the gap between itself and the United States, and if it wants to resist the United States, it must have the support of China, and Japan must stabilize and build its defenses well, and every little effort made at this time will reduce the casualties in the future a lot.

At the instigation of the Japanese government, many Japanese nationals, as if in the midst of excitement, worked frantically hard, even if they could not use machines, used human hands, carried them on their shoulders, and with the assistance of Chinese machinery, they built a large-scale fortification, with which the entire Juno and Rocky Mountains were protected.

According to the information given by China, the surrounding terrain is clearly shown, the Rocky Mountains are extended along the Juno direction, all the way to the Arctic Ocean, and in the entire northern part of Alaska, almost all of them are endless mountain ranges, the 20 highest mountain ranges in North America, most of them are distributed in Alaska, if you go to Alaska from the direction outside Juneau, you need to climb the mountains continuously, which is a nightmare for no aircraft to transport troops, Japan only uses a part of the personnel, set up enough sentry posts, It is enough to prevent large forces from crossing from there, and there is only one way to really enter Alaska, except by sea, and that is to break through Juno, and on Juno's side, advance in the coastal direction.

This is good news, but also bad news, the good news is that as long as you keep Juno, it's fine, but the bad news is that if you keep it, Japan has obtained the qualification to gain a foothold in Alaska, but once you can't hold it, enter along Juneau, this part of the coastal elite cities will be attacked by the United States, even if Japan can hold Alaska, the premise that all the essence is lost, Japan's strategic intentions will be devastated.

From the landing to the present, it has been more than half a year, in half a year, Japan has done a lot, and learned a lot, Japan has always learned relatively fast, has been supported by China, Alaska's foundation is far better than Baotou back then, cement is the fastest mass production, up to now, The annual output of cement has exceeded 180 million tons, these cement, almost like the foundation, walked everywhere, in Juneau, not only the supporters of Juneau for urban expansion, Juneau has built you more than 40 square kilometers of the city, although it is still a prototype, but there is already the foundation of a large city, which will be built into the core area of Alaska in the future.

The city is only incidental development, the most critical thing is that in the line of defense, relying on the Rocky Mountains, Japan began to roll out a large number of defense lines, with the help of Chinese reconnaissance aircraft, it took half a month, carefully calculated the surrounding map, this is not with manpower, it is with aircraft, aerial photography and land measurement, combined, for the familiarity of the surroundings, has surpassed the Americans, after all, a person's understanding of the environment, is only limited to the place they are most familiar with, Juneau is the capital of the United States in AlaskaThe Americans' understanding of him, that is, the mapping of the map, is still based on the early 20th century, and even the 19th century, so that people can lead troops to fight and not go the wrong way, but compared with the clear military use, there is still a certain difference.

China used the method of aerial photography, made military maps, and sent a professional staff team to help Japan, after careful analysis, Japan established the location of the main line of defense, and then the construction of the line of defense, relative to the front, to establish the position of the line of defense, and then the water mill, how many people put in, how much earthwork was done, these can be piled up with time and labor costs, a line of defense that made the Americans pay a huge price.

It is the experience given by China again, Japan also knew before, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, but that kind of thing can not be completed in many cases, now, there are planes in the sky reconnaissance, through the combination of heaven and earth, to find the most core area, as long as these areas are occupied, you can control the entire line of defense, some steel and cement these things, a steady stream of coming, half a year, has been effective, in the eyes of the Japanese, even if the Americans come to attack, they can also rely on the defense line, resist at least a year, Not to mention the arrival of a large number of artillery pieces and personnel, Japan already has a strong foundation.
