Let the question of whether to fight a ground war, and the authorities of the country are very receptive,

For the leaders of the republic, the greatest risk of fighting a ground war is to increase the casualties of the war. In a sense, after the war had progressed to the end of the year, the national leaders of the republic had to consider reducing casualties, rather than paying a greater price for victory.

Some may think that war kills people, and that the citizens of the republic are more resilient.

It is undeniable that it is influenced by national culture and so on. The citizens of the republic in terms of bearing the casualties of the war. It is indeed much stronger than the citizens of Western countries. For example, in the Indian War in Shu years, the Republican ** team paid a heavy price of tens of thousands of casualties among officers and soldiers, and exceeded the total number of casualties of the US military in the Iraq War that lasted for many years.

The problem is that there is an upper limit to the ability of any country or nation to withstand war.

More importantly, the upper limit of this catty will decrease with the social and economic progress of a country, that is, it is inversely proportional to the development of a country.

The reality is that the Republic's economic development has always been on the fast track since the beginning of the year, and even during the Great Depression, which swept the world, the Republic's relative expansion was among the spearheads of the world's major economies. Let's put it simply. During the Great Depression, the Western economies led by the United States declined across the board, but the Republic continued to grow by gill levels, and even more so than the United States. More importantly, from four years to the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, in a short period of time, the Republic has been embroiled in a total of many old wars, as well as countless regional conflicts. According to the official data released by the Republic, by the time of the outbreak of World War III, about 10,000 officers and soldiers had died in foreign wars, and 40,000 were disabled. I am afraid that no one can draw an accurate conclusion about the impact of these more than 40,000 casualties on the country and society. In the case of the bereavement expenses of the authorities of the Republic, a death pension of about $10 was paid in the year of injury alone, by the time of the year of the island. The expenditure on disabled soldiers is as high as 100 million yuan, which is under the "Casualty Management Bureau" of the central government. The staff is as many as 10,000 people.

The citizens of the republic are not afraid of war, but they do not sacrifice for nothing. By the time of Jinbeng, the social problems caused by the war casualties had become a major problem in the republic, and it was a problem that the national leaders of the country could not ignore.

Perhaps, some numbers speak best of the magnitude of the problem.

According to the data published by the authorities of the republic year by year. By the end of the year, that is, the bottle year of the war. The total number of fallen soldiers of the army, navy, and air forces of the Republic and the Marine Corps is strong, 3 Jizhou people are missing or captured, and 3 disabled people are blade-jumpers. In addition to this, most of the casualties among the paramilitary casualties in Liwan were the crew of the sunken merchant ships, as well as those engaged in aid work outside the country. That is, the war was fought for years. The republic has paid a heavy price in tens of millions of casualties.

You know, at this time, the total population of the republic was only a little more than 800 million!

Heart. Ten thousand casualties, flattened down, is one in a hurry. You know, on average. Individuals have social relationships with people who are about to persuade. That is, on average, four out of every citizen of the republic are killed or injured in the war. Among them, what. People die in the fire!

This is definitely not a small proportion, it can be said that the impact of the war on the society of the republic has reached the most basic level!

Thinking about it from another angle, if the United States can be defeated by a strategic strike with minimal casualties, why send thousands of republicans to their deaths?

Even if Bae Chengyi does not consider re-election. I have to think about the stability of the republic.

The problem is, as the top leader of the country. It is impossible for Pei Chengyi not to know that the possibility of capitulating the United States by relying solely on strategic strikes is very slim, and that any good leader will not pin his hopes of victory on the slim hope, and will be prepared for second hands.

In fact, from the very beginning, Pei Chengyi did not rule out the possibility of using a ground war to defeat the United States.

It is for this reason that, before entering the year, the Supreme Command of the Republic approved the strategic deployment plan submitted by the Marine Corps to deploy more ground forces to the Caribbean. Although the purpose was to attack Puerto Rico, occupy the island used to solve the Jewish problem, and control Cuba in the following combat operations, prevent the United States from raiding Fonba in extreme circumstances, and establish an advance base for the strategic bombers of the Celestial Army. However, in the year of Lijiu, especially after the Republican Marines had already landed in Cuba, the High Command did not withdraw the ground forces deployed in the Atlantic, but let the Marines reorganize on the spot in preparation for the next offensive.

In other words, at this time, Pei Chengyi had already realized that it was very likely to solve the problem with a ground war.

The key is not whether to fight or not, but when and where to fight.

According to the information disclosed after the war, Pei Chengyi's main energy at that time was spent on this, that is, how to use a ground war that was not too large in scale to break the United States' will to resist.

There is no doubt that the actions of Europe in Britain have become the approval of the Supreme Command of the Republic to be different from the body clams of the ground

In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the Supreme High Command approved the Marine Corps' operational plan, stipulating that no more than 40,000 troops should be invested, including the fleet and air force. But excluding the case of logistical support troops. Engage in a limited ground war in the northeastern part of the North American continent in order to force Canada to surrender and prevent European advances into the American continent. In terms of offensive timing. No later than the end of the month.

Of course, the authorities of the republic did not disclose this information in a timely manner.

In order to confuse the enemy, to be precise, to confuse Europe, the strategic strikes of the Republic's Navy and the Celestial Forces are still going on, and the intensity of the strikes has not been reduced. More importantly, in late April, the authorities of the Republic agreed to the request made by France, Germany and Italy on behalf of Europe to make small contacts with Europe on the issue of the US armistice negotiations and to hold high-level consultations planned for this month.

Early tomorrow, ministerial-level officials from both sides met for the first time in Beirut.

Since it was a high-level meeting, it was not just a matter of armistice talks.

The attitude of the authorities of the republic is very clear, that is, the armistice negotiations with the United States do not mean that the basic demand for unconditional surrender is abandoned, that is, the republic still insists that only the unconditional surrender of the United States will make it possible for the war to end early. In order to make this position clear, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic also produced a document supported by several of the member countries of the Intensive Group, namely, that the Collective would not accept any of the terms of surrender proposed by the United States. Of course. If there is no room for circles, this high-level contact between the Republic and Europe will be meaningless. According to the Foreign Minister of the Republic, it is not that the conditions of surrender of the United States cannot be accepted, but that they cannot go beyond the humanitarian sphere, that is, only the conditions related to the guarantee of the fundamental interests of the American people will be considered. There will be absolutely no negotiations with the United States on issues involving war criminals, regimes, political systems, military forces, and so on.

Obviously, the leading party in this negotiation is not Europe but the republic, so Europe did not raise objections to the conditions proposed by the republic, nor did it rush to offer bargaining chips. The reason is very simple, at that time, France, Germany, Italy and other countries had realized that the Republic was very likely to prepare for a large-scale landing operation and then occupy the United States in the form of a ground war.

Although there is no evidence that Europe has acquired the republic's battle plans, i.e., the republic's Marine Corps readiness is unclear, there is sufficient reason to believe that the republic's troops should be sent to take control of Iceland and defend Yarğenu. France, Germany and Italy knew for sure that it was only a matter of time before the Republican marines landed on the American continent.

It is not difficult to understand that the consultations are just a front, and the republic wants time.

Undoubtedly, for countries such as France, Germany and Italy. There is practically no ability to intervene in the actions of the republic, that is, there is no way to change the reality of the landing of the Republican marines on the North American continent.

Of course, European countries have a way of causing trouble.

According to information published after the war, the old day of the month. That is, when the bilateral consultations are still ongoing. France, Germany, and Italy, through their ambassadors to Switzerland, transmitted to the United States and Canada information about the imminent landing of the Republican Marines on the North American continent, and this information had fallen into the hands of Swiss officials in the process of transmission. Although the information on this intelligence is very limited. There was no mention of the detailed landing site, the exact time of the landing, or even the strength of the landing force and the method of the landing operation, and other basic information, but the warning issued by the European countries was naturally of extraordinary significance and was of great help to the United States and Canada in their anti-landing preparations.

Obviously, the negotiations will not lead to anything.

Thankfully, the eastern coastline of the North American continent is not rugged, and there are not many beaches suitable for landing. More importantly, the Marines of the Republic have entered the era of three-dimensional landing operations. The landing operation was very affected by geographical factors, and it was very much based on sea bases, and it was not even necessary to occupy the forward bases. For the passively defensive United States and Canada, it is almost impossible to set up a defensive line along thousands of kilometers of coastline. In other words, after receiving the alert, the United States and Canada can only selectively strengthen the defense of certain areas.

These include the Nova Scotia Peninsula and the island of Newfoundland north and south of the Cabot Strait.

Because the Nova Scotia Peninsula is connected to the province of Braunschweig, and the province of Braunschweig is next to the northeastern state of Maine in the United States, the first thing the US and Canadian authorities are guarding against is the Nova Scotia Peninsula. Of course, Newfoundland is only an island, even if the north is very close to the province of Quebec, after the Republic of Marines go ashore on the island of Newfoundland, they still have to make a second landing before they can set foot on the North American continent, and it is possible to enter Canada, and the authorities of the United States and Canada believe that the possibility of the Republic of Marines landing on the island of Newfoundland will not pass through the Nova Scotia Peninsula, so the defense forces deployed on Newfoundland Island are far inferior to the Scotia Peninsula, and even less than the north bank of the St. Lawrence River.

Of course, the actions of the American and Canadian troops did not escape the surveillance of the Republic.

This is because when the Republic marches into the United States, the first thing to deal with in a strategic strike is the space capability of the United States, so by the time the Republic's Marine Corps is ready to land, the United States has already lost its right to control the sky. The threat to the spacecraft launched by the Space Forces of the Republic was reduced to a minimum. It is for this reason that in the third year of the year, the authorities of the Republic have intensified their space launches and have set up a basic network of military satellites by the end of the month. Other words. Even if no reconnaissance planes are dispatched, the Republican Space Force will be able to accurately grasp the situation in the east coast areas of the United States and Canada.

As a result, it is even more unlikely that there will be any gains in the negotiations...... "the worst thing that will have the greatest impact on military reconnaissance is the landing operation"*

On the day of the knife, when the negotiations were fruitless, the authorities of the republic offered to end the negotiations.

Judging from the information on the post-war buses, the first thing the European negotiators did after receiving the news of the termination of the meeting was to contact the US ambassador to Switzerland and get the news out.

At the time, almost everyone believed that the Republican Marines would be on the North American continent in a few hours.

In fact, it was not until the day of the dawn that the landing operation officially began.

The reason for this is the same: because of the sudden change in the weather, the landing operation had to be postponed until the day of the day, and finally until the day of the day, when the storm in the North Atlantic weakened and the vertical take-off and landing transport planes could take off and land safely.

The place of disembarkation of the Republican Marines was not on the Nova Scotia Peninsula, but on the island of Newfoundland.

Obviously, this is the polar opposite of what the US and Canadian armies expected.

The problem is, this is just the beginning.

Just as the U.S. and Canadian forces were massing on the north bank of the St. Lawrence River to deal with the Republican Marines who had landed in Quebec, the Republican Marines made a second landing as quickly as possible, and the landing site was not Quebec, nor the Nova Scotia Peninsula to the south, but Anticosti Island, located in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

At the same time, the Republican Navy's two main fleets and a fire support fleet entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the Kapat Strait and crushed several moving American and Canadian forces with heavy artillery fire.

By this time, the US authorities had to believe. The place of the Republican ** team is not Washington, but Ottawa.

The best route to Nitawa was certainly not on land, but along the St. Lawrence River north. In other words, the main purpose of the Republican Marines on the islands of Newfoundland and Anticosti was to divert the American and Canadian forces and expose the enemy hiding in the fortifications to artillery fire. Then use fleet artillery fire to kill and injure the living forces of the American and Canadian armies. In this way, when the fleet of the Republic goes upstream, it will not be threatened by the defenders on both sides of the strait. As a result, on June, the third day of the Republican Marine Corps, the U.S. military blew up several dams on the St. Lawrence River despite strong opposition from the Canadian authorities, and dragged more than 2o large ships blocked in the river to the mouth of the river in Quebec, blocking the estuary by self-sinking. In order to strengthen the defense, in the following days, the US military also deployed tens of thousands of mines in the river and set up a number of blasting sites along the river, which the US military would blast whenever the Republic's fleet went upstream. Hundreds of millions of tons of sediment are used to block entire rivers. Anyway, the U.S. military has only one purpose, to prevent the Republic fleet from entering Otawa, and also to prevent the Republic fleet from entering the Great Lakes.

The problem is that this crazy move doesn't have any real effect.

The U.S. military has forgotten that the Republican Marine Corps does not need to act along the river at all, and with the support of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, it is capable of attacking targets within a radius of thousands of kilometers in a three-dimensional assault manner. That is, the Navy of the Republic only needs to deploy a sea base in the Bay of St. Lawrence. This will allow the Marines to attack Yataihua and occupy the southeastern part of Canada, which is also the most densely populated region in Canada.

In fact, the Republican Marine Corps did exactly that.

After the two landings, the Republican Marines did not rush to make a third landing, but depleted the combat effectiveness of the American and Canadian armies in a large-scale assault. Assist the fleet in the fight against the long-range artillery of the American and Canadian armies.

On June 4, the first offshore base entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

In the days that followed, another offshore base entered the Bay of St. Lawrence. A group of sea bases was formed.

It was only by this time that the Republican Marines began to consider landing on the North American continent.

The problem is that the Marine Corps has a completely different view from the High Command when it comes to offensive purposes.

The High Command's intention was clear, that is, the Marines should choose Ottawa and occupy the capital of Canada. Although this does not necessarily make Canada admit defeat, Canada is not a country like the United States, and a country with a population of just over 100 million cannot choose another city as its capital like the United States. What's more, the eastern part of the country, where Shitaihua is located, is the heart of Canada, with two-thirds of the country's population in this region. That said, as long as the Republican Marine Corps proves capable of taking down the Vetawa, Canadians will make a rational choice.

Shrugged, the Marines don't see it that way.

In the eyes of the Marines, the capture of Netawa would only make the Canadians stand up for the same enemy and put up more fierce resistance. Even if the Canadian authorities are willing to surrender after 10,000 steps back, the United States will not let Mexico, the last ally, declare its secession from the Western Treaty bloc at the end of the year, and will withdraw from the war forever.

Affected by this, the Marines thought that they should attack the United States with a large in-depth assault!

Of course, how to fight in the end depends on the actual situation!
