Chapter 586: United States

The cold winter swept across the Eastern Hemisphere, and the nature of the United States, located in North America, was among the cold winters.

It's just that this year's winter has not had much impact on the United States, because all major towns and cities in the United States are in full swing. Compared with the fast-paced life before, the pace of life is once again provided at a rapid pace.

The streets are plastered with advertisements of all kinds, and the police force has uncharacteristically not restricted them, because they are advertisements for the government, the military, and arms companies, as well as for various laboratories.

At this time, the United States had entered a state of national emergency mobilization, and all parties had to make concessions to the war, and the American people were no different. Although the big city is as noisy as ever at night, the atmosphere is very different from what it used to be.

The U.S. national television broadcasts the war situation over and over again every day, as well as one recruitment advertisement after another.

"The great United States is facing the threat of an imperial dictatorship, and the criminal imperial army has swept across Asia. Every citizen of the United States of America has an obligation to make his or her contribution to the free nation of his faith. Now the whole world is facing the invasion of war, in order not to let the flames of war burn to the happy land of freedom and peace, the vast number of young American citizens, the military is your homeland, for freedom and faith, join the army, take up arms, raise the banner of freedom, eliminate the expanding monarchy, restore world peace, each of you is a hero of the United States, a warrior of peace. ……”

This is only part of the war, and modern warfare is no longer the exclusive domain of professional soldiers. The powerful scientific research team in the United States is also intensively conducting research on weapons and equipment. The aborted Manhattan Project began once again, and a large number of folk physicists, lured by high salaries, joined the experiment.

"Are you a top student in physics? Are you still worried about food and clothing? Then please come to XXX Laboratory, where there are the most advanced research equipment, the most complete life security system, this is your home. ”

"Are you a brilliant figure in the field of chemistry? If you are worried about the problem of funding for the experiment, please trust the government, the government will solve all the difficulties for you. ”

"You're an engineering ......"

"You ......"

……

The variety of advertisements on the street has created an unprecedented atmosphere in the United States, and everyone on the street is in a hurry.

Folk laboratories. It has also been planned by the government in a unified manner. Assemble a large research team. Private enterprises and factories have also received a large number of government orders to ensure the price of the boss who will not starve to death, and a large number of materials have been pulled out of large and small factories. Loaded onto ships and shipped to the battlefield.

All kinds of strategic resource factories are working overtime 24 hours a day. Every day, there are large quantities of refined oil and steel products and a wide variety of raw materials. Entering major production plants, it has become a series of fighter planes and tanks. Warships, as well as a wide variety of individual weapons.

The cold winter has not cooled down the war machine of the United States, because the United States can no longer stop.

White House, Washington, USA.

"The operation, codenamed 'Ghost', was completed after a revision of the 507 battle plan, which will be implemented in three phases." US Vice President Truman stood next to President Roosevelt, who was still sitting in a wheelchair, and said in a deep tone: "The general operational guiding ideology is that the Army will not cross the line, and will mainly use air power to destroy industrial clusters and military facilities in northern China and those long-range artillery and rocket artillery units that can threaten the Allies, and the entire air raid operation will only last for 48 hours at most, and all offensive postures will be terminated and turned to defense before the Chinese Defense Forces have no reaction at all." ”

"I have seen at least four versions of the 507 battle plan, some emphasize offense, some emphasize defense, the 'ghost' is very good, attack first and then defend, with the goal of destroying the core force, which is very in line with the current situation." Roosevelt looked back from the lawn outside the window, and for a top-secret attack plan, it was indeed a good choice for the two of them to hide in the corner of the office and talk quietly.

"After 24 hours, what we need to do is to hold the 38th parallel, the Chinese defense forces will definitely counterattack on all fronts, and our ground forces and air forces can kill all the defense forces that have crossed the border in familiar areas, even if the Chinese troops enter south Korea within 24 hours, they will never be able to cross the 38th parallel and go south, that is to say, as long as we do not let the Chinese army cross the 38th parallel, our will not be at a disadvantage." Truman instinctively lowered his voice, even though there was absolutely no possibility of a bugging device in the president's oval office.

"How long will the ground battle last? How many casualties are estimated to be? Roosevelt frowned slightly and asked the most worrying question.

"The worst estimate of the ground war will last a month, and it will end on its own when the air force and ground armor forces of the Chinese Defense Forces are exhausted, and our casualties are not expected to exceed 10,000, which is completely acceptable, and the best possibility is that it will only last less than a day, and China is very likely to give up the ground offensive in an unfavorable situation." Truman carefully said the numbers while staring closely at the expression on Roosevelt's face.

"How can the secrecy of the air strikes be guaranteed? Such a large-scale air raid and troop movement must not be hidden, if China had detected it in advance, the effect of the air raid might only be a fraction of what was expected, and all the key things might have been transferred long ago. Roosevelt nodded slightly, and asked a question that had just come to mind.

"The secrecy of the air raid will be the most secret part of the whole 'ghost', the movement of the ground forces of the Japanese Kwantung Army will not be carried out until a few hours before the start of the air raid, and the planes that will carry out the air raid will come from several different bases, all of which will be completed by B-36 'Peacemaker', some will run long distances from Alaska, and some will take off from the nearest bases in Japan and South Korea, and under the coordination of the three "Sabre" wings, all the bombs will be dropped at the same time in a few minutes, and the same will be true for the launch of the Minuteman-1 missile, China is not aware of any anomalies. Truman's expression was serious, and he involuntarily gestured twice with one hand, "After the air raid, the ground forces have also completed the basic deployment, as long as the bombing of the strategic area in northeast China is completed, our air power can completely block the attack of the Wehrmacht, and the movement of ground forces has plenty of time, and everything will go according to the predetermined plan." ”

"I think about every detail carefully, I like this plan very much at the moment, and if I refine it, I think I will not hesitate to sign it." Roosevelt knocked on the handle of his wheelchair, "If it drags on any longer, the consequences are really unimaginable, can you imagine that China's military strength will be so strong?" I always wake up at night, and according to the CIA's intelligence, if the war continues like this, the Chinese army will attack the American mainland in a year, because they have such capabilities! ”

"The detailed battle plan will be drawn up in seven days, and all the preliminary preparations will be completed by the end of the month, which will be an exceptionally successful plan, far more than any of us have made before." Truman understood Roosevelt's worries, and he often reviewed the same nightmare at midnight, when a huge group of Chinese bombers flew over the United States, small mushroom clouds lit up, tens of thousands of American citizens turned into carbon black in an instant, high-rise buildings collapsed and shattered under the action of huge shock waves, a large number of toxic gases and biochemical solvents spread wantonly in the air, and the United States, the world's largest power, became a ruin under China's long-range attack.

In front of the elliptical conference table, a large monitor is playing images of the destruction of Tokyo over and over again, which is the main reason for the two of them to be restless.

I never imagined that one day an enemy would threaten the American homeland. Previously, this seemed to Americans to be nothing more than a joke. However, such a thing is no longer impossible, but very likely.

Fortunately, on the European battlefield, the German offensive decline began to appear, so that the two saw a lot of hope for victory. Otherwise, these two men don't know how to face a war that is about to be lost.

In terms of Chinese weapons, the United States has always been catching up with China at a rapid pace. Now the United States also has its own jet fighters, and they are still on the tarmac with a production of nearly 800 per month. The latest semi-jet and half-propeller bomber, which the United States has named the "peacemaker," has entered service as an intercontinental strategic high-load bomber, which has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the US military.

This is a strategic bomber that greatly surpasses the Chinese Global Overlord in terms of range and bomb load, with an extreme range of 16,000 kilometers and a bomb load of 36 tons. However, this is a non-subsonic bomber, which is its shortcoming.

However, this bomber can bomb the hinterland of China when it takes off from any US air base, and it is the first ultra-long-range strategic bomber in the true sense of the word. If it weren't for the slow flight speed, this bomber would have completely surpassed the Globemaster.

America's own super-fortress in the air is a child in front of the peacemakers. And the cost of such a bomber is also surprisingly expensive, and the ex-factory price of each peacemaker reaches 3.5 million US dollars. At such a price, it is already possible to produce twenty Sabre jet fighters of the latest model in the United States.

The advent of these two new aircraft, and the rapid development of jet propulsion tests, led to the development of its own Minuteman-1 ballistic missile by dissecting German missiles. This is the capital of the United States to continue the war, and without commensurate weapons and equipment, the United States will certainly lack sufficient conviction to win.
