According to the mercury view, the Marines of the country landed on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Yinchou, and only gave birth to the people of Beijing. [No pop-up novel network]

As early as the afternoon of the first day, the U.S. news media such as the U.S. news media, such as Agence France-Presse and Detong, and global intellectual news media such as Al Jazeera predicted through reports and comments that the Republican team would attack the Russian Far East in the near future, and the U.S. news media also asserted that the Republican team would land on the Kamchatka Peninsula. For the vast majority of ordinary people. The arrival of the Republic's marines on Kamchatka Peninsula in the introduction of the sun was nothing more than a little too fast. It's a little surprising, not even a surprise.

Rationally analyzed, it is indeed of little significance for the Republic to send troops to attack Lopavlovsk.

It is known that the republic's justification for declaring war on Russia was the invasion of Kazakhstan by Russian troops. As an ally of Kazakhstan, the Republic has the responsibility and obligation to fight back against the aggressor on behalf of Kazakhstan. Although in the declaration of war. Pei Chengyi, the state minister of the Republic, emphatically mentioned. Russia is the country with the largest land area in the world, so the republic's counterattack will not be limited to a certain direction, but according to the actual needs of eliminating Russia's strategic threat, choose the most appropriate and reasonable combat method, but everyone can see that in the battle in front of many hours, even if Russia poses a threat to the republic, and the war is burned to the territory of the republic, the republic has no reason to attack thousands of kilometers away from the mainland. And where there are no strategic forces, a landing operation is carried out. To paraphrase the AFP comment. The Republic's attack on Kamchatka was in essence an "over-counterattack." Obviously, AFP's assessment is already very polite, and in the words of the deleted comment, the republic is invading Russia in the name of a counterattack

This.

It is undeniable that under the influence of the general environment. International public opinion will certainly be two-faced.

The problem is that, de jure sweetness, the republic really has no reason to attack Kamchatka, at least not to send troops to occupy Kamchatka.

Thankfully, this is a world war, not a local war.

Regardless of whether the republic's troops to capture Petropavlovsk were justified or not, no one could change this fact, and no one was capable of preventing the republican ** from landing on Kamchatka.

Even from a military point of view, the Republic's invasion of Kamchatka was of little significance. On the day of the citation, after the news was confirmed. Al Jazeera made a comprehensive analysis of the Republic's attack on the Kamchatka Peninsula. According to the assessment of military experts hired by Al Jazeera, in terms of military value alone, the republican ** team will not gain much more from capturing Kamchatka Peninsula in the early days of the war. Although the military expert affirmed the importance of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Pacific theater, he also pointed out the reason for the Republic's troops, that is, to consolidate the left flank defense line in the Pacific theater to prevent the United States from advancing south into Japan from the north, thereby attacking the Korean Peninsula and posing a threat to the Republic itself, and at the same time forcing the United States to divide its forces in the North Pacific Ocean in order to protect Alaska, at least one fleet in the North Pacific, so as to achieve the goal of dispersing the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy. But fundamentally, Kamchatka's usefulness is very limited, and in the final analysis, the infrastructure on the peninsula is very rudimentary to support large-scale combat operations.

In response to this problem, the military expert gave a detailed explanation. According to him, if the Qinchaka Peninsula could become a springboard for attacking the North American continent, even if it could become a strategic support base for operations in the North Pacific, it would have been long before the murder. The former Soviet Union should strengthen the region's infrastructure. Make it a forward military fortress. In fact, until the dissolution, the former Soviet Union had only built a submarine base and a few air defense positions on the Kamchatka Peninsula, and not only did it have few military facilities. Even the infrastructure is extremely backward. In the final analysis, in addition to being influenced by the strategic choices of the former Soviet Union, it is not unrelated to the real military value of the region, that is, Kamchatka can hardly become a springboard for advance into the North American continent, and even the basic conditions for becoming a strategic base for the fleet.

Of course, it was argued that the post-occupation infrastructure could be built to enhance Kamchatka's support capabilities and thus make it a strategic offensive base. It is undeniable that the construction of infrastructure is not a difficult task, in order to draw on the technological and industrial power of the middle of the century, and the Republic is already mobilizing for war, to build a road through the Aldan Mountains. It is not difficult to cross dozens of rivers such as the Lena River, the Indigirka River, the Kolyma River, the Anadyr River, bypass the Pinena Bay, and stretch the railway from Neryungri to Petropavlovsk, which stretches for a thousand kilometers today, and the construction period is up to three years. The question is, will it be necessary to build such a railway in 3 years? More importantly, how much return can the huge investment in the construction of such a railway bring, and how much of it will help the war? Considering these issues together, the conclusion is simple: the cost of turning Kamchatka into a strategic offensive position far outweighs the benefits of having Kamchatka as a strategic offensive position.

In fact, until after the war, the debate about whether it was necessary for the republic to capture Kamchatka at the beginning of the war did not cease.

The arguments of the opponents are simple, that is, the Kamchatka Peninsula did not have much military significance, did not become the basic conditions for a strategic forward base, and throughout the war it did not become a platform for the republic's advance into the North American continent, and the republican ** team did not even deploy many combat units here. The position of the proponents is also clear, that is, the cost of capturing the island is not large. But it has a very resounding significance. For example, the United States was unable to benefit Japan and protected the Korean Peninsula and the Republic itself, so that the largest iron ore mining area around the Republic was not affected, and the iron ore reserves of the DPRK were very amazing, and the purpose of containing the US military was also achieved, and it had a major impact on the course of the war.

The question is, who is not shrugged, has not figured out one episode, that is, is it necessary to send troops on the second day of the outbreak of the war?

From the standpoint of those who have come before, this question is easy to answer. The point is that the attack on Kamchatka was clearly planned before the outbreak of the war, and it was certainly unrealistic for the leaders of the republic to foresee the course of the war in advance, so the subsequent changes in the situation of the war could not be used as a justification for the attack on Kamchatka. That is, on what basis did the authorities of the republic make the decision to capture Kamchatka before that?

There is only one plausible explanation, and that is that the real value is not the occupation of Kamchatka.

In fact, it was not the operations in the direction of Kamchatka that attracted the most attention at that time, but the sudden disappearance from the noses of the US maritime surveillance satellites when the Republic's Western Pacific Fleet, which was assembled in the waters off Iwo Jima, was heading south. Although the Republic did not declare war on the United States, the United States authorities did not make any war-related statements before the sun went dark, nor did they even condemn the Republic's combat operations against Kamchatka. But everyone knows that a decisive battle between China and the United States is inevitable, and the key is who will ignite the flames of this war.

Mu Yong doubted, the most urgent person was definitely not Pei Chengyi.

Dudgway was discussing with Admiral Kaojout, Admiral Paris, and Admiral Stein, commander of the Pacific Theater, the Republic's invasion of the Kamchatka Peninsula, when he learned that the Western Pacific Fleet, which had a crumpled "Beijing"-class aircraft carrier, had suddenly disappeared. Although even Dudgway thinks. The performance of the "Beijing" class aircraft carrier is very backward, and even if it is equipped with several sets of terminal interception systems at the time of the second large-scale improvement, and strengthens its ability to deal with high-African munitions, its combat capability is very limited, but no one dares to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Western Pacific Fleet of the Republic Navy. In particular, the comprehensive combat capabilities of those new cruisers.

After confirming that the information was correct, Du Qiwei immediately gave orders to the three generals.

Undoubtedly, the key is the US Navy. At Dugway's request. The USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group, stationed in Guam, will retreat to the east. Rendezvous with the main forces of the Pacific Fleet deployed at Pearl Harbor and prepare for the Republican Navy.

As a companion action, the Marine Corps also immediately entered combat mode, ready to move at any time. According to Dudgway's deployment, as long as the decision to enter the war is made, the Marine Corps will quickly increase the number of troops in Australia, consolidate Australia's defense, and prevent the Republican ** team from raiding Australia. The mobilization work in the Pacific Theater must also be stepped up, mainly to provide effective support for all units participating in the war. Although according to the command system of the US military, the Pacific Theater Command should mobilize the fleet and marines. But the president is the supreme commander of the U.S. military, and with the president's personal intervention, Admiral Stein didn't even have a chance to speak, let alone direct the movement of troops.

Subsequently, Duchway contacted Admiral Angelodi.

Like the Republican Army, when integrating the Celestial Army and the Air Force, the Celestial Army annexed the Air Force. In order to take care of the Stockholm Accords without abolishing the Air Force, Angelodi was the first general in the United States to be the commander of both branches of the armed forces, and the most influential general in the United States. Of course. If Duchway is counted, Angelotti can only be regarded as the second most influential.

Dudgway had only one thing to do with Angelodi. That is to find out whether the U.S. Space Force can destroy the military star system of the Republic after the start of the war.

According to Dugway, the space-based interception component of the strategic defense system also belongs to the military satellite system.

To this question, which only requires the answer of "can" and "can't", Angelotti gave a very complex answer.

To put it bluntly, in the case of an active attack, more than half of the time is certain before the complete destruction of one's own military satellite system. Knock out the military satellite systems of the republic. Although according to Angelodi, even if the Republic takes the first action and destroys the US military satellite system, it can rely on the interception system deployed on the ground and in the air to fight back and destroy the Republic's military satellite system, Angelodi has not forgotten to explain one point clearly, that is, after losing the military satellite system, it will take a long time, that is, at least a few months, at most several years, before it is possible to completely paralyze the military satellite system of the Republic, and it is unlikely that it will get in the way after entering the war.

There is no doubt that Angelodi advocated an active offensive and not waiting for the enemy to come to his door.

After receiving this conclusion, Dudgway personally rushed to Congress on the afternoon of the afternoon of Eastern time, about an hour after the Republican Marines landed on the Canchatka Peninsula, and asked for a closed-door hearing of the defense. At the time, U.S. Vice President Mrs. Loebling had already gotten Congress to agree to pass several war bills aimed at aiding Russia, and was working to honor the secret alliance treaty. Dudgway's sudden arrival, and his direct confronting of congressional questioning, was enough to give reservations to lawmakers who were still skeptical about America's entry into the war. Arguably, this is the most important hearing defense in American history.

Although it was held behind closed doors, that is, it was not open to the outside world, and according to the usual practice, the meeting would not end until after a vote in Congress, the US news media, which was well informed, said in the pocket. In his capacity as president of the United States, Du Qiwei will accept all the questions raised by congressmen about the United States' entry into the war, and give answers that are satisfactory enough for congressmen, so as to win the support of congressmen. According to the report, Dudgway's ability to move into the White House proves that he has a high enough popularity, and the threat of war in the United States is imminent, and members of Congress are unlikely to refuse the president's request to go to war.

In fact, shortly after Du Qiwei arrived at the Congress, that is, in the early morning of the Republic time, Pei Chengyi held his second video conference call since the start of the war at the strategic command center under the Yuan Mansion, and raised a question at the meeting that no one could avoid, that is, should he take the initiative to attack the United States?

Obviously, almost all senior leaders have reservations.

There is nothing surprising in this, the war with Russia has just been netted. In the beginning, victory was still very far away, and it could even be said that there was not even a single word, and under such circumstances, taking the initiative to attack the United States would only enable the republic to fight on two fronts, and the military power that had not yet been expanded would be strained left and right. It can be said that not only civilian leaders like Jiao Kuishan have reservations, but even Yuan Chenhao believes that the United States should not be actively attacked. Of course, Yuan Chenhao was not worried about fighting on two fronts, but thought that doing so would only marginalize the mainland battlefield that he valued.

The problem is that reservations are reservations, and when it comes to substantive issues, no one doubts Pei Chengyi's strategic judgment.

According to Pei Chengyi's analysis, the United States is about to enter the war. Regardless of whether or not we take the initiative to attack, we will not be able to change the difficult situation of fighting on two fronts, so it is necessary to actively seize the initiative. Pei Chengyi also put forward a very important reason for this, that is, to defeat the US military satellite system by taking the initiative to attack. depriving the United States of the basic force of strategic strikes; To achieve the goal of weakening the US strategic threat. As long as the active attack gets in the way, even if it is counterattacked by the United States, it can turn the danger into a disaster. If it can withstand the strategic counterattack of the United States, it can also force the United States to carry out strategic retrenchment in the form of counterattack, and it is even possible to make the United States disarm and surrender after a nuclear war of limited scale.

as a basis. Pei Chengyi asked Yuan Chenhao to come up with the conclusion of computer simulation analysis.

The key, of course, is not the conclusions of the analogue analysis, but the every move of the US authorities. Pei Chengyi scheduled the meeting after Du Qiwei went to Congress. It is enough to prove his intentions.

Because it was a video conference call, the outside world did not know that the Republican leadership was also preparing for war against the United States.

The problem was that, given the circumstances of the time, even the most ordinary person could have imagined that if the United States still did not take a stand on the issue of war, even if Dudgway went to Congress only for a trivial matter, the Republic would have acted before the United States and burned the war to the other side of the world.

As with the U.S. Congressional Hearing Defense. The high-level meeting of the republics also did not come to a clear conclusion.

It's just that shortly after the sky of the Republic lit up, the Navy of the Republic took the lead in making adjustments.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the South China Sea Fleet of the Republic of China, which had been operating in the Gulf of Thailand, was the first to turn eastward. Just half an hour later. The Indian Ocean Fleet of the Republic Navy sailed south from Gwadar, heading straight to the island of Diego Garcia, south of the Chagos Archipelago.

Even more striking is that morning. The strategic bomber forces of the Celestial Forces of the Republic did not bomb Russia.

According to the deleted report "Morning of the month. The Celestial Forces of the Republic canceled at least one strategic bombing mission, and nearly 100 strategic bombers did not appear on the battlefield as expected and did not remain in the bases. Although in wartime, in order to ensure the safety of strategic bombers, even if there are no tasks. As long as normal maintenance is not carried out, bombers have to take off and patrol an area in the hinterland of the homeland. They will not stay at the bases, but the war has only entered the fourth day, and hundreds of bombers have not carried out combat missions after takeoff. Obviously a very unusual thing.

This move first reminded people of the tense relations between the Republic and the United States.

You know, if the republic goes to war with the United States. In addition to focusing on attacking the opponent's military satellite system and strategic defense system, what the Republic wants to do most is to defeat the US Navy.

It can be said that by this time, the atmosphere of war between China and the United States was already very strong.

The problem is that when the sun left the sky of the republic, the two sides did not go to war.

It must be said that the ability of the population of the republic to withstand the war is far greater than that of the Americans. In a state of partial war and the war has been fought for several days, most of the people of the republic are still able to sleep peacefully, and not many people lose sleep because of the war.

For Americans, the most worthwhile situation is. The United States and the Republic are almost a mouthful apart.

That is, when the republic enters the night. The United States is ushering in the daylight.

It is precisely so, when war suddenly came, that most Americans were awake. Or in a semi-conscious state, only a few Americans who work at night have gone to bed.

Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing!
