Chapter 612: Giant Dating
"The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the Japanese have really reached this point, and their defeat has become inevitable and irretrievable. I would like to congratulate the President, since then, no one will compete with us for the dominance of East Asia! ”
"Brother Baili, for many years, we have regarded Japan as the most important imaginary enemy, and now this enemy has suddenly reached this point and is about to be eliminated from the game, which is really a little uncomfortable. We haven't done our best yet, so how do we feel like Japan is falling down with just one finger out! ”
"That's right, three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage!" Defense Minister Wu Tong took over and said: "The soldiers on the front line are like bamboos, and it seems to be very easy, but this has a price. In recent years, in order to rush to build the navy, more than 200 scientific and technological personnel have died of exhaustion on the job, and most of them are in their thirties and forties, which is the time when we are in the prime of life. In order to verify the performance of the aircraft, how many test pilots died. In order to control the intelligence, how much did the personnel of the secret front pay. Now the front line can be smooth, it is the result of the efforts of these people! ”
"What the Minister of Defense said is right, these people are heroes, their contributions are no worse than the soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line, or even surpass, they must be passed on, even if they are future generations, they must remember their contributions!"
Qiao Yu's advice was quickly implemented, and the Chinese government quickly made the decision to build a monument to the Chinese heroes in the capital. It also commemorates the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country for decades, and also builds a monument to the unknown heroes to keep people in mind those who have quietly contributed to the construction of the country.
In addition, after the complete defeat of Japan, China built a Victory Monument, and if the first two monuments are a reminder of the past, then the Victory Monument is a sign of the future. China completely defeated Japan and became a world-class power. got rid of the national fortunes that had gradually sunk since the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Qiao Yu had already seen the dawn of victory from above the kamikaze agents. But now it's the pre-dawn darkness. The final madness of the Japanese is bound to cause great losses, and Qiao Yu also knows that they not only have suicide planes, but also suicide warships and suicide torpedoes. as well as weapons such as human bullets.
Although this kind of desperate play could not save the fate of Japan, it was enough to cause great harm to China, so the Supreme Command issued a strict order for all troops to be vigilant. The aircraft carrier should be equipped with a protective deck, and under water, it should be equipped with armor against torpedoes.
In addition, it is necessary to build large dock maintenance ships to quickly repair damaged ships; of course, if you want to restrain the kamikaze attack, the most important thing is to attack, and use carrier-based aircraft to form a tight defense line, and as long as the Japanese planes dare to come, they will all be shot down. In addition, it is necessary to intensify the attack on Japanese airfields and destroy all air force facilities, so that Japan has no air force to use.
In order to deal with human bullets. China's high command has also issued a special order authorizing front-line soldiers to shoot anyone they deem a threat at any time. It doesn't matter what the identity is. There is no doubt that this order is a license to kill the front-line soldiers, and it is inevitable that there will be accidental killings of civilians, but whether it is the Japanese expatriates or those natives, they are all miscellaneous pieces that should be cleared, and if they die, they will die.
China's successive victories in the Philippines have swept through most of Luzon. On the other hand, Chinese troops have already landed on the island of Sumatra, which is a very important strategic point on the other side of the Strait of Malacca, and the Chinese army has set foot on this island, which also represents the beginning of China's formal occupation of Indonesia.
Unlike the Chinese army's triumphant advance, the United States is still far from clearing out the Japanese troops in Australia, let alone quickly entering the counteroffensive, so Roosevelt, who was in Washington, was very annoyed, and now China has begun to reap the fruits of victory, if the United States cannot act quickly, it can only watch the entire western Pacific fall into China's hands.
In fact, the Australian battlefield would not have dragged on for so long, Japan only transported 260,000 troops to Australia, and the number of US-Australian allied troops has exceeded 600,000, and they also have a huge equipment advantage.
But it was at this time that there was a problem, the Japanese army sent Itagaki Seishiro in a desperate attempt to carry out a long-distance detour operation to the rear of the US-Australian coalition forces, and MacArthur, who was negligent in guarding, was copied by Itagaki Seishiro, and also lost a large number of logistics materials, killing and wounding nearly 100,000 soldiers, and the sharp spirit of the US-Australian coalition forces was defeated at once, and the war situation in Australia also entered a stalemate.
Roosevelt was so disappointed in MacArthur that he was ready to change the coach, but Roosevelt, who was afraid of falling behind China, was also actively trying to find a way.
At this time, Nimitz, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, put forward his own point of view, abandoning the Southwest Pacific theater of operations, concentrating the main naval and air forces in the Central Pacific direction, and the United States quickly seized the Marshall Islands, and then attacked Saipan and the Ogasawara Islands. The only way to follow the shortest route to the Japanese mainland is to keep up with China's progress and not to be absent from the Americans when China attacks the Japanese mainland.
After Pearl Harbor was completely destroyed by fire, after more than half a year's efforts by the United States, it was finally restored to its original appearance, and even the facilities were even more powerful, and the Americans installed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on the island, and they were afraid that they would suffer another Pearl Harbor-style fiasco.
In addition, after some hoarding, Pearl Harbor finally recovered its original appearance a year after the attack, and re-became an important fulcrum of the US military in the Pacific.
However, Nimitz also had dissatisfaction, that is, the United States was worried that Pearl Harbor could not be restored, and had focused on the Southwest Pacific theater, and MacArthur became the supreme commander, and now everyone in the United States is a household name.
Nimitz didn't pay much attention to these false names, but what Nimitz couldn't stand was that the navy became subordinate to the army, and he couldn't accept that the Pacific theater was placed under the southwest Pacific theater. This is a struggle between the navy and the army, as well as a struggle for resources and power, and Nimitz must not take it lightly.
This was especially true of Nimitz's superior, Admiral King, Secretary of the Navy, who frequently demanded that Roosevelt tilt more resources toward the Pacific theater. Eventually, Macas made a fatal mistake and the front line was defeated, giving Nimitz and King the opportunity they had always dreamed of, and they proposed a new strategy to Roosevelt.
After thinking about it several times, Roosevelt found that their views were of great benefit to the United States, and his idea that Nimitz could not be absent from the decisive battle on Japanese soil touched the depths of Roosevelt's heart.
Although countries should pay attention to strength, but this strength also needs to be proven, now the European battlefield is the Soviets, and the Pacific theater is all on the shoulders of the Chinese, what else is there for the United States, and do Americans still have the face to participate in the direct action of post-war partition?
After several trade-offs, Roosevelt finally agreed to Nimitz's proposal, which meant that a large amount of resources were assigned to the Pacific theater, and the two aircraft carriers USS Hornet and USS Enterprise were transferred to the Pacific theater, as well as six escort aircraft carriers, as well as a large number of logistics supply ships.
The two Essex-class aircraft carriers that were recently launched were also assigned to Nimitz, and because China sent two large aircraft carriers, the Pingyuan and the Anyuan, to Europe, which are undergoing adaptation training, and will soon be able to assist in defending the United Kingdom, the pressure on the United States in the Atlantic has been reduced a lot, so the Americans have withdrawn a Boston aircraft carrier from the Atlantic Ocean to enrich the Pacific theater.
This aircraft carrier originally did not exist in history, but it was a type of aircraft carrier that appeared after China set off an aircraft carrier race, and a total of three aircraft carriers were built. Since Germany also had aircraft carriers in this time and space, the Americans did not dare to relax the protection of the capital and large cities such as New York, and they have been deployed along the Atlantic coast.
Nimitz had two aircraft carriers in his hands, and the total number of large aircraft carriers was greatly increased, and Nimitz's confidence was greatly increased, and the US military quickly captured the Marshall Islands and Kwajalein Atoll, and the troops were directed towards Saipan.
China and the United States launched a major counteroffensive in the Pacific Ocean at the same time, and the day of Japan's defeat was just around the corner, at this time, the Soviets also survived the most difficult moment of Stalingrad, especially after the cold winter came, the Soviet land was unprecedentedly cold, and the heavy snow and cold tortured the Nazi soldiers and consumed their remaining strength.
The Russian Tsar said that Russia had two best generals, the January General and the February General, and this was not wrong at all, for both Napoleon and Hitler attacked Russia in time for the coldest time, and were defeated by the cruel weather.
There is better news for Stalin, that is, China has opened up the communication lines in the Middle East, through which supplies from the United States and China can be transported to the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet army has no worries and can rest assured that it can fight the Germans boldly.
There were turning points in both the European and Pacific theaters, victory was in sight, and contradictions between countries began to emerge, as did the contradictions suppressed by the raging fascist forces.
At this time, Roosevelt proposed that the heads of state of the four powers first hold a meeting to coordinate the relations between the countries, Lao Qiu was Roosevelt's sworn friend, he immediately agreed, and Qiao Yu and Stalin had no problem. Indeed, the heads of state should meet and exchange feelings.
The heads of state of the four countries already wielded unparalleled power, and their words and deeds had a significant impact on the future of the world, so it was necessary to build mutual trust, but the venue of the meeting became a problem, and Stalin used the nervousness of the fighters as an excuse to move too far away from Russia.
Where to hold a meeting is also very knowledgeable, who is close, it means who has more advantages, and finally Qiao Yu put forward his own opinion and held a meeting in Tehran, Iran. (To be continued.) )
