If it is said that the important issue of the republican authorities in the new year is to decide on a strategic approach, and the important task of the US authorities is to hold the Atlantic defense line. 【】

Objectively speaking, the fact that the United States was able to persist in the vigorous years after the fiasco of the field year is related to the "inaction" of the Republic and the strategic contraction of the United States. It can even be said that it is now difficult to resist the strategic offensive of the Republican ** team. In addition to exchanging space for time through strategic contraction, the US authorities also hope to pull more countries into the water in the process of strategic contraction.

Among them, the most critical is the countries of Jizhou.

According to some relevant information released after the war, as early as the middle of the fourth year, that is, shortly after the end of the Battle of Midway, the US authorities formulated a very important strategic plan, and the core content of this plan was to take advantage of the shortcomings exposed by the Republic's eagerness to win, so that the European countries that had been allied with the Republic but had reservations about war operations would stand on the opposite side of the Republic, that is, use Europe to contain the Republic's advance. And the main means by which the American authorities achieve this end is the Jewish question.

In this top-secret scheme, the US authorities envisage a massive attack on Israel by making the Republic lose patience through its operations on the Middle East battlefield. Because Jews control the economic lifelines of several major European countries, it is impossible for the countries of continental Europe to ignore Jewish interests, so if the republic takes the wrong step on the Jewish issue, it will part ways with Europe and even lead to war in Central Europe. Suffice it to say, this is definitely not alarmist.

before the war in Europe; The U.S. authorities secretly contacted Jews in European countries through civil society organizations. It was hoped that with the help of the strong influence of the Jews, Europe would enter the war as an ally of the United States. Make an active contribution on the battlefield on the mainland. It is a pity that the Republican Army marched much faster on the continental battlefield than the covert operations of the American authorities, and before the Jewish organizations in Europe could take action, the heavy regiments of the Republican Army advanced outside Moscow, and the defeat of Russia became a matter of time. Because even God could not save Russia, no matter how influential the Jews were, it was impossible for European countries, especially several continental powers, to enter the war as allies of the United States. It is even more unlikely that you will get involved in a continental war, against the multi-million armies of the Republican Army without any preparation.

Of course, the active activity of the US authorities is not without effect.

After entering the war, Europe did not declare war on the United States, but maintained relatively friendly relations with the United States. This can be regarded as a remarkable result of the active activities of the US authorities. It would certainly be a lie to say that the European countries did not declare war on the United States because they were "born from the same roots." You know, when the United States dominates the world. He has never taken Europe's interests into account, and even turned a deaf ear to Europe's interests for the sake of his own interests. Take, for example, the wars of the beginning of the century. In the financial crisis that swept the world, they were not only put on the side by the United States, but also fought a trade war with the United States for several years during the ensuing economic crisis and the Great Depression. In fact, culture has not always been the main cohesion. Not to mention the Western world, in the Eastern world, both Korea and Japan are deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and there is a great similarity with the culture of the Republic, but these two countries are not allies of the Republic. Or a hostile state of the republic. Between countries. In addition to the nation, the greatest thing is interests. The problem is that the United States itself is a country that does not have a distinct nation, or a majority nation. Therefore, it is the interests that determine the foreign relations of the United States. Conversely, when any country deals with the United States, it also considers its interests first.

Europe does not declare war on the United States precisely because the American authorities give enough benefits.

According to unconfirmed rumors, before Europe entered the war, the United States made three commitments to France, Germany, Italy, and other countries on the European continent: first, it would never interfere in the integration process of the European Union, second, it would recognize Britain's status as a European state, and third, it would accept Europe's financial leadership in the Western world. Although these three commitments seem illusory, especially the first one, the United States is simply not capable of interfering in the EU's integration process when it cannot protect itself. Moreover, during the war, the countries of continental Europe were not able to promote the integration process, but these three commitments of the American authorities were an attitude of recognition of European dominance in Western civilization.

For Europe, this is definitely not a pie.

To be exact. The U.S. pledge is not a spell in the picture. It will depend on what Europe does.

Imagine if, after the end of the war, the United States had not been dismembered, and the continental European countries had taken advantage of the favorable conditions during the Great War to achieve integration, that is, to unify the continental European countries under a single government as the central world of Western civilization. Europe is bound to usher in a glorious era after the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, and may even achieve the great achievements of the ancient Roman Empire. What's more, for European countries, even France, which has always been at odds with the United States. Nor do we want the Christian-centered Western world to decline and be marginalized by the rising civilization of the East. In other words, if the decline of the United States leads to the decline of Western civilization, even if Europe has experienced the great war as the victor. Nor can it be a beneficiary in the true sense of the word. Rather, it is a victim of the decline of Western civilization as a whole. That is, as long as there is a silver lining. The European states will do everything in their power to prevent the decline of Western civilization.

In fact, this is the most important role that Europe played in this war.

Because Europe has always been outside the main battlefield. Moreover, after entering the war, as an ally of the republic, he did things that were beneficial to the United States, so the ship of the end of the war, the relationship between the republic and Europe plummeted. By the same token, many scholars believe that Europe and the United States reached a secret agreement before the outbreak of the war, or at least the interest groups that secretly manipulated the US government and the European government. The United States is resisting the onslaught of Eastern civilization head-on, while Europe is using the "curve to save the world" to ensure that Western civilization will not completely perish because of the defeat of the United States. In other words, before the outbreak of the Great War, the elites of Western society realized that even the mighty United States was vulnerable in the face of the republic, which had mastered the highest scientific and technological achievements of the electric revolution. Even the US-European alliance could not defeat the republic, so it was necessary to make a trade-off for the sake of the whole of the West, and the salary was very high, and it was even repeatedly cited by war historians, but unfortunately, there is no evidence to prove this fact.

Anyway. In the second half of the year, the United States accelerated its strategic transformation.

Judging by the situation of the Great War, at least until the grain year. The US authorities are not yet completely hopeless. In other words, the US authorities have not given up their efforts, and all the United States needs is time, time to fully blow up the war potential of more than 700 million Americans. Theoretically. By the end of the year, the war potential of the United States would have exploded. This is basically the same as the mobilization plan formulated by the US authorities before the outbreak of the war, that is, to complete the war mobilization in two to three years, and at the latest, to bring the war production capacity to the peak.

It is undeniable that the military production capacity of the United States is no greater than that of the Republic

Although the United States is inferior to the Republic in terms of comprehensive national strength, especially in the front-end technology related to the electric revolution, the gap between the United States and the Republic has widened from the end of the era to about the old years. This gap is enough to have a decisive impact on the performance of the main battle weapons and equipment of the two armies, but with the huge advantages in some areas, for example, the available labor force of the United States is 30% more than that of the Republic. And the United States is much more productive than the Republic in certain strategic resources, as long as the American authorities can fully exploit these advantages. It is no less than the military production capacity of the Republic. According to the war production plan drawn up by the US federal government, the output of fighter planes and bombers will exceed 10,000 in the next year. The output of the ground main battle platform is more than 70,000 units, the total tonnage of the launched warships is more than 10,000 tons, and the total tonnage of the completed merchant ships is as high as the United Nations. 10,000 tons, these indicators are at least the same as the republic, and some of them have passed the republic.

There is no doubt that "class power" is definitely not a title that can be used casually. According to the evaluation criteria of the middle of the century, in order to be worthy of this title, it is necessary to have the production capacity and military strength of other countries except for the major powers combined, and to be based on the state. That is, only the Republic and the United States have this strength, and Europe has this strength only after reunification.

It can be said that as long as the military production capacity of the United States explodes, it will definitely be able to match the republic.

The problem is that this mobilization is still not enough to bring victory.

You must know that the Republic has completed the mobilization for war, so that the war production capacity has reached several peaks. Don't underestimate the gap in just one year. In this year, the Republic produced enough war materials to crush the United States. In a sense, the US military's steady retreat in the Pacific Ocean is related to the gap in the war production capacity of the two countries.

Here's the key.

In order to make up for the fiasco of the US military in Tian Nian. The United States must not only achieve the strategic production target in the next year, but also strive to increase its military production capacity in a new year, and maintain it until the end of the year. It is possible to turn the tide of the war at the end of the third year, or at the beginning of the year.

In response to this situation, the US authorities have also formulated a well-thought-out strategic sentencing plan.

The problem is that the United States, as mentioned earlier, has almost all the basic conditions for increasing its military production base. The only thing missing is time. In other words, as long as the stalemate strategic situation can be maintained until the end of the third year, the United States will be able to use the huge military production capacity that has exploded to change the situation on the battlefield.

With this major premise, it is not difficult to calculate some of the actions of the US authorities in the second half of the year.

From the point of view of the strategic situation, in order to maintain the stalemate until the end of the year, in addition to organizing an effective strategic counterattack in the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible to block the advance of the Republic's navy, it must resort to a precondition, that is, to drag Europe into the water and let the Republic fight with the European Army in Europe and North Africa. According to the estimates of the US authorities, by the end of the year. Most of the European countries, especially France, Germany, Italy, and other military powers, have already completed their initial war mobilization and have established a relatively complete defense system on the East European Plain, coupled with the United States' investment in the Middle East theater, and Europe's comprehensive national strength is not inferior to that of the United States, so long as the military forces are rationally mobilized and the shortcomings of the republican authorities are not fully prepared, even if it is impossible to defeat the republic on the ground battlefield, it will be able to delay the republic's march into the American continent by more than two years, and this will also buy enough time for the United States.

As a matter of fact, it is not impossible for the United States to realize this idea, but it is unlikely.

Without further ado, Europe offered the republics the weapons and equipment of the young divisions before entering the war. Moreover, after entering the war, the repeated urging of the Republic to fulfill its promises has a great deal to do with this strategic vision of the United States. Although, theoretically, Europe does need these weapons and equipment, especially in the case of war preparations, the need to expand the military scale, it is impossible for European arms enterprises to produce so many weapons preparations overnight. However, from a practical point of view, in addition to the fact that it is impossible for the republic to provide the most advanced weapons and equipment, the European ** teams do not have enough time to master the use of the republic's weapons and equipment. Other words. Asking the republic to provide weapons and equipment is essentially limiting the size of the republic's army, so that the republic cannot continue to attack Europe from the west after defeating Russia. In fact. It is true that this agreement has had a considerable impact on the combat operations of the Republic Army, and the authorities of the Republic have no choice but to give full consideration to the problems caused by the downsizing of the force when formulating strategic plans.

Strategically. Europe's comprehensive national strength is no worse than that of the United States, and it has also preliminarily completed war mobilization. The size of the army was several times larger than before the war. The military production capacity is changing with each passing day, and it is expected that it will reach 70 percent of the United States by the beginning of the year, so as to obtain the basic strength of large-scale strategic offensive operations. What's more, Europe also has enough population resources, as well as abundant resources. Plus the preparation is not too bad. As long as the enthusiasm of the people can be fully mobilized and the military assistance provided by the United States is added, there will not be much problem for European countries to persist for two years.

Tactically speaking, if the European Army can be more proactive, such as taking advantage of the opportunity of the Republic to increase troops in the Middle East theater, launch a surprise attack on the mainland battlefield, and then quickly march into North Africa, so that the Republic has to send additional ground troops to Sudan, it can force the Communists. The second team switched to strategic defense. Resist the attack of the Eurolegion. Rise again. Even if the Republican authorities immediately turn their focus to the west and stop the large-scale strategic offensive in the Pacific, it will take at least half a year to turn the tide of the war. In this way, the United States will even be able to gain half to three years of preparation time, so that it will be more fully prepared to launch a strategic counterattack.

Merely. Such a precise calculation "lacks a very crucial, even decisive, condition.

Let's put it bluntly. It is the US authorities who deliberately ignore the subjective initiative of the republic. That is to say, this strategic plan of the American authorities is based on the performance of the Republic before the golden year; And it is not taken into account whether the republic will adjust its strategic plans in the event of a less favorable situation on the battlefield. Leaving aside the combat operations of the Republican ** team for the time being, just in terms of military production capacity, why can't the United States, which has already controlled many regions and has the strategic advantage, burst out its military production capacity even more amazingly? To know. By the end of the year. The number of killed, missing, and captured officers and soldiers of the Republic was only one-fifth that of the American army, and this loss alone cost the United States a huge amount of money for the middle-aged labor force.

The question is, a problem that the US authorities ignore. It doesn't have to be ignored by European countries

It can be said that France, Germany, Italy, and other continental European countries have been not very enthusiastic about the issue of war and have turned a deaf ear to the hints of the United States, which is related to this issue.

This, of course, has a lot to do with some unique policies of the authorities of the republic.

Here's an example. After Europe's entry into the war. The Republic began to systematically fulfill its promises, such as providing European countries with the weapons and equipment needed to expand their armies. During this period, the authorities of the republic did something that many people do not understand, that is, to send diplomats from European countries to visit the military factories of the republic, and they are all important military factories, such as fighter factories and tank production lines. This has had a number of side effects, such as the fact that the republic's military production capacity has been leaked to the United States by some European countries. More importantly, this has the obvious benefit of making it clear to the less-minded European countries that the Republic not only has the world's best military science and technology, but also has the most powerful military production capacity. Able to arm and support a much larger military force than the existing one. Of course, the intention behind this hint is to make European countries aware of it. Enemies of the Republic will only suffer a crushing defeat.

It is precisely for this reason that France, Germany, Italy, and other countries have a relatively intuitive understanding of the war potential of the republic.

With understanding, there is also comparison. Although there is reason to believe. In lobbying European governments through Jewish associations, the United States authorities gave assurances, especially about the war potential, which was dominated by military production capacity. However, these US assurances not only do not give European countries any sense of security, but on the contrary, they have made European countries realize it. Even if the United States is always wielding, it is unlikely that it will be an opponent of the Republic.

For the United States. The indifference of the countries of Europe. Undoubtedly the biggest blow.

Of course, it is impossible for the US authorities to base the hopes of the entire country on a strategic plan that is not in any certainty.

At the time of trying to win over European countries. The US authorities also made the most pessimistic predictions about the war situation. According to information made public after the war, in the middle of the war, the US authorities drew up several strategic plans for losing the war in the Middle East. This included a retreat to the North Atlantic. According to this plan, if Israel accepts the proposal of the European countries and withdraws from the war by surrendering after the Republican Army launches a strategic counterattack, the US military will withdraw from the Middle East ahead of schedule, and abandon all military positions in the Mediterranean region, pinning the hope of blocking the Republican Army on the Navy. That is, every effort was made to prevent the Navy of the Republic from entering the North Atlantic.

Affected by the peculiarities of naval warfare, the only way for the US Navy to ensure sea supremacy in the Atlantic Ocean is to fight a decisive battle with the Republican Navy when it enters the Atlantic Ocean and crush the Republican Navy's fleet. Or force the Navy of the Republic to abandon plans to march into the Atlantic.

Strategically speaking, it was inevitable that the Republican Navy would march into the Atlantic at an adult age.

Because there is no evidence that the Navy of the Republic will be forced to abandon its entry into the Atlantic Ocean by threats, let alone be held back by the desperate resistance of the US Navy, the US Navy has only one choice. That is, to prepare ideologically for a decisive battle with the Navy of the Republic, as well as to prepare for action.

It is precisely for this reason that from August to the end of the year, the main fleet of the US Navy was active in the Caribbean Sea for a period of up to a month, conducting intensive training at high intensity.

For the U.S. Navy, it is not only warships that are lacking, but also excellent officers and sailors.

By the end of the year, the U.S. Navy had less than 10 percent of the Navy's total strength killed or wounded, missing, or captured in combat. However, excluding non-fleet personnel and officers and men of the air fleet, the loss rate of the officers and men of the main fleet of the US Navy exceeded 70 percent.

The huge rate of loss of officers and men corresponds to the huge proportion of high-quality naval officers, especially senior officers at the decision-making level. Although relying on advanced computer technology, especially computer intelligence technology, modern naval warfare is, to a large extent, a war between computers. There are not many links that require human control, but in the tactical decision-making phase, especially in the decision-making before the engagement. The human factor is still irreplaceable by computers. And there are no computers capable of making decisions about the combat operations of the fleet. It can be seen that the automation technology based on intelligence only brings the convenience of tactical operation, not the convenience of tactical decision-making. Excellent naval officers, especially senior officers at the decision-making level of the fleet, remain the most valuable asset of the navy.

In the case of a high rate of casualties among officers and soldiers. The only option for the U.S. Navy is to increase the intensity of training.

Fortunately, the U.S. Navy does not lack training facilities or training costs. In fact, the "fireships" built by the US Navy are not what the Republican Intelligence Bureau guessed. That is, it is used to support quasi-warships in ground operations, but it is used to train the officers and men of capital ships, and the US Navy has ordered more Chop-class electromagnetic guns, and these electromagnetic muscles have been sent to ships. It is hoped that the combat course of the main fleet will be imitated. Let the officers and men, the senior officers at the decision-making level of the fleet, be familiar with the process of engagement in a situation close to actual combat. From the point of view of operational needs, there is no need for the US Navy to build firepower ships, after all, it is the Republic that is the main attack on the battlefield, and firepower ships are relatively simple offensive weapons. Perhaps it was argued that fireships could be deployed in the ports of the rear to provide fire support to the front-line troops. In theory, this tactic is feasible, but in practice there are many problems that need to be solved. Don't say anything else. The communication and control systems of fireships are certainly not as good as those of battleships, and how to aim at targets more than four kilometers away and fire in time is a very big problem. It is precisely because of this that most of the fireships of the Republic Navy only have kilogram and yo kilogram-class electromagnetic guns, and the closest range of kilogram-class electromagnetic guns is the mainstay, which avoids the problem caused by poor information.

While actively training the officers and men of the fleet, the US Navy is also making every effort to build the main fleet.

By the beginning of the month, with the last eight "Long Island" class capital ships declared operational capability at the Norfolk Naval Base, the US Navy had a string of capital ships and organized into four main fleets, plus four air fleets formed with two aircraft carriers as the core, the US Navy had a total of eight combat fleets in the Atlantic. To be sure, the size of the U.S. Navy is not only more than twice as large as before the war, but also more than the European fleet combined. The problem is that the U.S. Navy is too small in comparison to the Republican Navy. To know. By the end of the year, the Navy of the Republic had the main fleet of the Kouzhi and !! The total tonnage of the three air fleets with aircraft carriers as the core is the guard of the US Navy. More importantly, if we take combat effectiveness as the standard, the gap between the US Navy and the Navy of the Republic is even greater. Based on the situation of the previous naval battles, it can be roughly estimated that the unit combat strength of the US Navy fleet is only about 60 percent that of the Republic Navy.

It can be said that this gap in strength does not give the US Navy much choice.

Geographically, the easternmost point of South America from Cape Bronco, Brazil to Freetown, Sierra Leone, is the narrowest point in the middle of the Atlantic, that is, the shortest route across the Atlantic, which is also the dividing line of the Atlantic Ocean, that is, the North Atlantic Ocean in the geographical sense to the north, and the South Atlantic Ocean to the south.

It is clear from the globe that north of this line, the Atlantic Ocean is getting wider and wider until it reaches its maximum near the Tropic of Capricorn. Other words. If the Republican Navy crosses this line and enters the North Atlantic, it will be tantamount to expanding the battlefield space, and it will also be tantamount to making the overstretched U.S. Navy even more ineffective.

For the US Navy, it is necessary to block the Navy of the Republic south of this line.

Affected by this, in the second half of the year, that is, after the end of the war in West Africa, the US Navy took the initiative to retreat from the Gulf of Guinea to the waters north of the Cape Verde Islands. At the end of the year, when South Africa announced that it would lease several acres of land in False Bay and its east coast to the Republic for humanitarian relief, the United States authorities did not react aggressively or even condemn them

It is clear that in the absence of room for manoeuvre, the US authorities in disguised recognition of the republic's power in the South Atlantic.

It can be said that this is also the last concession of the US Navy. You know, further back, is the maritime lifeline of the United States. It was mentioned earlier. The United States, like the Republic, needs to rely on overseas resources. In particular, the resources of the neighboring Caribbean and South American states, the southbound route from the ports of the East Coast of the United States and the Gulf Coast to Latin America is related to the survival of the United States, so the US Navy will defend this sea route at all costs.

Although the Republic Navy had not yet sent a combat fleet to the South Atlantic before the end of the year, or even sent additional submarines, there were more and more signs that the Republic Navy would not only enter the South Atlantic, but also directly enter the North Atlantic, most notably a few combat fleets concentrated in the Indian Ocean. Affected by this, at the end of the year, the US Navy drew up an operational plan for the Republic Navy to detour the Cape of Good Hope, use the ports of Nigeria as a base, and move north along the Gulf of Guinea into the North Atlantic. According to this plan, under the condition that the Republican Navy's investment is limited, that is, the number of fleets entering the North Atlantic is within the range of the US military's attack, the US Navy will take the Cape Verde Islands as a base and take the initiative to meet the challenge of the Republican Navy; if the situation is the opposite, the US Navy will retreat to the waters east of the Little Andreas Islands, relying on the military bases in the islands, and with the cooperation of submarines, shore-based aviation, strategic aviation, and other units. Intercept the naval fleet of the Republic in the waters of the central Atlantic.

Of course, the combat operations of the US Navy still have to be subordinated to the grand strategy of the United States.

It can be seen from this that it is also a very wise move for the US Navy to take the initiative to abandon the eastern Atlantic region and retreat to the western Atlantic waters when it cannot defeat the Navy of the Republic. From another point of view, even if the U.S. military takes the initiative to retreat, the Republic Navy can easily take the Cape Verde Islands, and go north from the Verde Islands, it is impossible to directly attack the British, and it is necessary to use the Canary Islands of Spain, or the Madeira and Yar Islands of Portugal, in order to shorten the attack distance of the British troops to the attack radius of the ground forces. Because Spain and Portugal are both countries on the European continent, even if they did not follow France, Germany and Italy into the war, they can be regarded as influential countries in the European continent, so the authorities of the Republic are politically motivated and are unlikely to attack the territory of these two countries. If the authorities of the republic let the navy attack, it would naturally be better for the United States. Because this is the most direct way to drag Europe into the water. Of course, the Republic Navy can replace the islands in the offensive with a large number of sea bases, after all, in the Pacific theater, the Republic Navy has already done this, and it has achieved very significant results. The problem is that, even without taking into account the time allowed for the deployment of a group of sea bases in the North Atlantic, especially the resulting troubles. It is also necessary to consider the problems caused by the attack on Britain. You must know that a very important reason why Europe is willing to negotiate with the United States on the issue of war and attaches great importance to the interests of the United States is that the countries of the European continent want to take this opportunity to absorb Britain. Let the British "Trick Continent." Instead of continuing to act as a small henchman of the United States, that is, the republican could not enter Britain, but had to negotiate with the countries of continental Europe. And for political reasons, continental powers such as France, Germany and Italy would help the republic put pressure on Britain. But it is unlikely that the republic will be allowed to occupy LinkedIn alone, or even allow the republic to intervene in the United Kingdom. In the eyes of the United States, as long as the attitude of continental European countries is tough enough, it can use the pressure exerted by the Republic to get Britain to surrender, and then send troops to occupy LinkedIn before the Republic, so as to absorb Britain after the war. In this case, the result of the Republic's invasion of Britain would not be much different from the result of the attack on the Canary Islands, that is, a complete reversal with Europe.

Taking these factors together, the United States authorities have reason to believe that the Republic will not go north from the Cape Verde Islands.

Affected by this, the US Navy can take the initiative to abandon the Cape Verde Islands under special circumstances and fight a decisive battle with the Republic Navy on a more favorable battlefield when the operational plan is formulated.

Of course, the American authorities do not ignore another very important issue, namely, the use of the Cape Verde Islands by the Republic to advance into Morocco, thereby controlling the Strait of Gibraltar and blockading the Mediterranean Sea in order to achieve victory in the war in the Middle East in the simplest and least costly way. In fact, in the second half of the year, when the Republican Army was showing its might on the battlefield in West Africa, the United States authorities recognized this problem and knew that this was the place that posed the greatest threat to the United States. It was precisely for this reason that the U.S. Navy placed its main forces in the Mediterranean, and in the second half of the year, several amphibious fleets were deployed in the Atlantic Ocean northwest of Morocco. Nominally, these fleets were to cover sea routes from the continental United States to the Eastern Mediterranean. In fact, the attack submarines sent by the Republic Navy to the North Atlantic at that time were less than enough, and there was almost no threat to the transatlantic route, let alone attack the military transport convoy that had been escorted and covered by the fleet, but in fact it was preparing for the invasion of Morocco. In case of emergency, according to the U.S. Marine Corps' discretionary plan. In just a few hours, the assault force deployed offshore was able to control major Moroccan cities and military positions, including Rabat. Because the Moroccan military was already under the control of Prince Hussein, the advance of the American Marines would not be greatly affected. Arguably. The United States has been reluctant to send troops to take control of Morocco. It's not that I'm worried about getting into trouble, but I don't want to get into a standoff with Europe over Morocco.

In order to avoid messing with Europe, as early as the beginning of the year. The United States has expressed its intention to control Morocco.

Of course, the efforts of the United States have not had much effect. After the assassination of the Moroccan crown prince by American intelligence agencies, the reaction of France shocked the American authorities greatly. Ear to say, with the situation at that time, if the United States goes one step further. That is, to kill the king of Morocco and help Hussein ascend to the throne. There is a high probability that France will turn the other cheek with the United States. This led to the complete surrender of Europe to the Republic and the declaration of war on the United States.

It is precisely for this reason that the attitude of the US authorities is also hesitant on the question of whether to enter Morocco.

According to some information made public after the war, at the end of February, US President Duchway asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to revise the operational plan for the North African region on several occasions; in addition to canceling the operational plan to blockade the Suez Canal, as early as the second half of the year of the year, that is, when the US military suffered a major defeat in the Pacific theater, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up an operational plan for blockading the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Suez with mines. In the old days, 10,000 mines were deployed between Port Said and Shakir Island to completely block the entire Suez Canal and ensure that the Navy of the Republic would not be able to enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal within a year. The main reason for Dudgway's cancellation of the campaign was that it would have a great impact on Europe, forcing the Republic to change its strategic plan and weakening European influence, the most important of which was the requirement that the Marines report to the president before entering Morocco and obtain permission from the president before taking action.

It can be said that the biggest concern of the United States at that time was to go too far on the North African issue.

It can be seen that when the Republic Navy made a decision to enter the Atlantic, and dispatched three main fleets and several sea bases at once. The U.S. Navy is faced with a dilemma.

In terms of size, 3 combat fleets are nothing. To know. The U.S. Navy has four main fleets and one air fleet, which is basically twice the size of the three battle fleets sent by the Republic Navy, and the U.S. Navy also has several sea bases that can be mobilized. The problem is that if we take into account the combat effectiveness, especially the combat performance of the capital ships and air supremacy fighters of both sides, the US Navy's superiority is not obvious, or even has no superiority at all. In this case, whether to fight a decisive battle with the Republican Navy fleet in the waters of the Cape Verdier Islands or to retreat to the Little Andreas Islands is indeed a question that is enough to cause headaches for the decision-makers of the US Navy and the US authorities. Of course, the biggest problem is that the time left for the United States to make decisions is too limited.

It is undeniable that the US intelligence agencies are still relatively efficient. At the end of the mouth month of the year. That is, a month before the republican navy took action, the United States authorities were warned that the republican navy would definitely send a fleet into the Atlantic for the purpose of seizing sea supremacy, during which period. The Army of the Republic will not launch a large-scale offensive operation in West Africa. The problem is that the U.S. intelligence agencies do not guarantee that the Republican Army will not attack after the Republican Navy has seized sea supremacy, i.e., the seizure of sea supremacy is a means, not an end.

In this way, the United States authorities will have to consider the possibility of the Republican Army attacking the Cape Verde Islands.

As mentioned earlier, if the Republic marches into the Cape Verde Islands. The main purpose was not to cross the Atlantic to the west, but to attack Morocco to the north, so the US authorities had to consider whether to advance into Morocco.

Of course, the key is not to march into Morocco, but not to fight the Republican Navy in the Cape Verde Islands.

It can be said that this is a very critical decision, and it can even be said that it is a strategic decision that must be personally decided by US President Dudgway!
