No matter what you say, the United States is not Japan, nor is it the United Kingdom. [Full text reading] but a national old. A world power with a population of nearly 800 million and tens of millions of military personnel.

The occupation of the United States is definitely not an easy task, even if the American authorities have ordered surrender.

This was expected by the authorities of the republic and the republican ** team.

After the U.S. authorities announced their unconditional surrender, the Republic's Supreme Commander issued a ceasefire order to the frontline troops, demanding that the Army and Marine Corps prepare for the occupation of the United States, control of U.S. military installations, and disarm the U.S. military, while the Navy and Space Forces provided assistance. At that time, the Republican Marines had already besieged Philadelphia, so the occupation of Philadelphia and the collection of weapons and equipment from the defenders of Philadelphia were considered the first major priority. As a result, the disarmament operation quickly turned into a battle. Because many US troops were unwilling to lay down their arms, some US commanders even refused to surrender because they had not received a surrender order, and when collecting US weapons, there were many skirmishes, resulting in a large number of casualties among the officers and men of the Republican Marine Corps. The next day, the day of the month, the Republican Marine Corps had to abandon the operation of collecting the weapons and equipment of the American army, announcing that if the American army refused to surrender before the old moon day, it would be a fatal blow. In fact, in the old month, when the day was too late, the Republican Marines fulfilled their promise and sent the American troops running in the Palmyra district on the east bank of the Delaware River to heaven with the heaviest artillery fire. The shelling continued until dawn. The Republican Marines once again issued an ultimatum to the American troops in other urban areas to continue to disarm and surrender. The Republican Marines will destroy a city area every day until the whole of Philadelphia is in ruins! There is no doubt that the US military has no capital to resist. Not to mention the troops trapped in the city, because the American authorities announced their surrender, and the Republican Marines did not evacuate the citizens of the city before the shelling. So at that time, there were at least 10,000 citizens in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The shelling took more than just the lives of Americans. And the lives of civilians. Under tremendous pressure, on the morning of the old month, the commander of the Philadelphia garrison announced his surrender and ordered the American troops entrenched in the city to go to the designated place of the Republican Marine Corps to disarm and surrender. Although after this. There were still some U.S. troops who resisted stubbornly, and it was not until the 4th of the old month that the Republican Marines occupied the whole place. Philadelphia, annihilating the "bandit army" of sporadic resistance, but the mass resistance ended before noon in the old month.

The battle in Philadelphia showed that there were still quite a few American troops with uncut hopes of victory until they had tasted blood.

As a result, when the United States representatives went to the new capital of the Republic to hold consultations on the surrender ceremony, the authorities of the Republic did not order the Army and Marine Corps stationed in the United States to expand the occupied area, but focused on basic support work. That is, the ammunition and supplies originally planned to be delivered will be replaced with food and medicine, and more occupying troops will be sent to the front line. and demanded that the allies who had pledged to take on the occupation with the Republic send troops.

Of course, the authorities of the republic did not forget about one more important thing, namely, the occupation of Alaska by sending troops.

On 3 July, after the tactical airlift force was relieved, more than 60,000 officers and men of the two combat units of the Republic Army, with the support of near-recess vertical take-off and landing transport planes, divided into more than 10 units and marched into Alaska from several directions, and in just a few hours, they took control of dozens of US military bases on this land covered with ice and snow, and disarmed hundreds of thousands of US troops. By the evening of the same day, the land, which had been bought from Tsarist Russia for tens of thousands of dollars, had fallen into the hands of the Republic; Among the states that have become fields in the United States, except for the Northeast, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connectiqiu, Rhode Island and New Jersey, these states are very small in size. The area was slightly larger and the first state to be fully occupied by the Republic, and the largest in the United States occupied by the Republic alone. Alaska itself is also the largest state in the United States by area of falling states.

Sending troops to capture Alaska is definitely not a simple matter.

Long before the outbreak of the war, it was proposed to march into North America from the Arabasian land bridge in the north, that is, after occupying the Russian Far East, cross the Bering Strait, land in Alaska, and then advance eastward along the coastal corridor in the south to land on the western coast of Canada from the Queen Charlotte Islands. Occupy large cities, including Vancouver. It then marched south to Seattle and swept the West Coast of the United States. Of course, this is not the only option. It is also possible to march into the Aleutian Islands after occupying the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula, and then go ashore from the Alaska Peninsula, across the Gulf of Alaska, in the Alexander Islands, or directly in the western part of Canada. There is only one difference between the two sets of war plans, that is, the former is dominated by land and the latter is dominated by marines, so the former's main route of advance is on land, while the latter makes full use of the islands in the North Pacific. Advance to the east by way of a cross-island attack. Importantly, both of these options were based on the invasion of the North American continent, i.e., the defeat by land and sea shortly after the outbreak of war. One might say that the bitter cold in the Arctic adversely affects combat operations.

Severe cold does adversely affect combat operations, but not as much as expected. For ground warfare, the cold is likely to be the number one enemy of the soldiers, and the losses and casualties caused may even surpass the enemy. The problem is that for those who have become accustomed to fighting in the air, on the ground ... Delete the generalization to a minimum of its and the National Army and Marine Corps. The cold Zhen will definitely not be too big.

What's more, Alaska will not be colder than Russia. To deal with Russia. All the equipment of the Republic Army is because the Republic Marine Corps and the Army often share the equipment platform, but there are differences in specific functions and combat modules, so in terms of environmental adaptability. The equipment of the Marine Corps is no worse than that of the Army, and the requirements have been made for the special climate of Russia, such as all ground main battle platforms can be used normally in the environment of sub-zero field Celsius, and all vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft must be able to be used in the environment of sub-zero intelligent photography, and can take off and be in the old level of snowstorms. Landing in a snowstorm.

There is no doubt that the Republican Army and the Marine Corps are capable of fighting in Alaska. Correspondingly. Because of the relative lack of infrastructure, the U.S. military's defenses in Alaska are not very strong. More importantly, the U.S. authorities have always believed that the environment and climate are the best defenses. and saw no reason for the authorities of the republic to seize a piece of land far from the American mainland and of no great military and political significance.

In fact, it is true that the military significance of capturing Alaska is almost nil.

The reason is simple: even if you occupy Alaska, you have to cross a kilometer to reach the mainland of the United States. Although the southernmost island of Alaska, that is, Allegan. Prince of Wales Island in the Great Archipelago is very close to the continental United States. However, it is very difficult to attack across the islands, and these islands are close to the North American continent, and the Republican ** team has to cross the entire Pacific Ocean to land on these islands, while the US military can use the long-range artillery deployed on the mainland to send the troops on these islands into the sky, and the offensive and defensive posture can be imagined. By contrast, marching into the Hawaiian Islands, landing in Central America, or disembarking on the Baja California Peninsula all had to land in Alaska. It's much easier to fight all the way down from the coastal islands.

It was for this reason that, among the various sets of war plans drawn up by the General Staff of the Republic, the advance into Alaska was only the last policy. The problem is, that doesn't mean Alaska isn't important.

In a sense, Alaska's importance is reflected after the end of the war, not during it.

A very key factor in the fact that the United States can replace Britain and become the world hegemon is that the United States has a unique, even unique, geographical advantage. Across the globe, in countries with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. The United States is the most strategically located and has little fungible. This unique geographical position allows the United States to calmly respond to all external challenges, even after independence. When it was still very weak, the United States made full use of the convenience and shielding provided by the sea, won the war between the United States and Britain, and gained the right to speak in the international community. In fact, looking a little further, Britain was able to dominate the world for hundreds of years and build an empire that had never been crossed and the sun never set on the mainland, a very crucial factor, which also had a lot to do with the geographical advantages brought by Britain's extensive overseas colonies. It can be said that as long as the earth remains the only or the main home of mankind, then the geographical factor is of irreplaceable significance.

There is no doubt that the geographical location of the republic is not ideal.

Historically, the Chinese civilization, which once led the world for nearly a year, has fallen rapidly in recent years, and is considered by many to be the best opportunity to enter the ocean. Regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, it must at least be admitted that the Chinese civilization has always been a land civilization, not a maritime civilization, and this is directly related to the geographical factors of the East Asian region where the Chinese civilization is located. It can be said that no matter how powerful the republic is. First of all, it was a land state, that is, the basic security of the country was built on land power. It is possible to build a strong enough navy to have an army strong enough to defend against a strong enemy on land. Of course, this is very similar to Germany on the Great Plains of Europe, and very similar to Russia across Eurasia.

In a sense, all the efforts of the authorities of the Republic in the decades since the end of the war, including the Third World War, have been aimed at improving the geopolitical environment, that is, eliminating the drawbacks and shortcomings brought about by the geographical location and improving the surrounding environment of the country. Of course, this effort also continued after the Third World War. Although in accordance with the commitments made in the Intensive Group and the agreements reached with the allies of the non-bloc member states, such as Europe, the Republic does not seek additional territory and territorial waters, except for historical legacies, the Republic has the right to occupy the overseas territories of the occupying power and to control these areas with leased concubines. In this way, after the end of the war, the Republic can rely on the overseas territories of the United Kingdom and the military bases in many allies in South Asia to control the entire Indian Ocean, and can rely on the island of Asunción, which is also a British overseas territory, and the False Bay leased from South Africa, and the military bases leased from Nigeria to control the South Atlantic, and can also rely on the Cape Verde Islands, the Little Andreas Islands, which have many overseas territories and trust territories of the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as in Venezuela, Cuba, Iceland's military bases control the North Atlantic, and it can even rely on the fortress of Gibraltar, the Middle Sea, which after the war in Cyprus was controlled by a condensed group of peacekeepers, effectively controlled by the Republic, and Malta was controlled by the defeated countries. It can be seen that in the world's major oceans, altogether

One might say that the republics could march into the Arctic Ocean from the Russian Far East.

Geographically alone, there really is no problem. You don't need the entire Far East, you just need to occupy and control the Chukotka Autonomous Region to enter the Arctic Ocean. The problem is that long before the beginning of the year, that is, before Europe entered the war, the republic made a promise in secret negotiations with Europe that the republic could only establish a highly autonomous region in the Russian Far East in a punitive manner, and could not annex any Russian territory, except for the recovery of the area south of the Great Khingan Mountains and the island of Kuye, which had been historically occupied by Russia. Because there really was no point in expanding the territory, and it was all the more important to bring Europe into the war, the republican authorities were very happy to make such a promise. This means that the republic cannot become a coastal state of the Arctic Ocean by annexing the Chukotka Autonomous Region. Although after the end of the war, the authorities of the republic did not fully fulfill their promise that post-war Russia was not an independent federation, but a loose, similar confederation of the CIS. In addition to the European region west of the Urals, which was an independent state, several regions of the former Russian Far East emerged with a high degree of autonomy. And completely independent states, which only symbolically obey Moscow's instructions, and in fact have nothing to do with Moscow. Many of them are directly subordinate to the Republic. But on the most critical issue, the republic still did not break the rules of not expanding its territory by annexation.

In this way, the republic needs a piece of coastal land in the Arctic Ocean.

There is no doubt that Alaska is the ideal choice. You know, historically, Alaska was also an overseas territory of the United States, and it was not until after World War II that it became the forty-ninth state of the United States. More importantly, since the United States was the main defeated country in World War III, and Europe had no say in the handling of the United States, and the Republic had not signed any agreement with Europe on how to deal with the United States, or even made any relevant commitments, since Puerto Rico, which originally belonged to the United States, could not be designated as an exclusive area of the Republic and permanently under the control and use of the Republic while retaining only the name?

The republic, of course, occupied Alaska. In addition to gaining the coastline of the Arctic Ocean, there is an important purpose, namely that the Arctic Ocean is the last ocean in the world that has not been fully opened.

As early as Tian Xuan, some people predicted that the Arctic Ocean and Antarctica would become the hope of human civilization.

You must know that before this, all countries in the world have used various advanced technologies, especially those remote sensing satellites, to conduct comprehensive, even several repeated and thorough surveys of major areas of the world, and have gained a completely new understanding of vital strategic resources. Although scientists in the Republic and the United States have been claiming that the precious resources on Earth are enough for human civilization to consume for hundreds of years, and before these resources are exhausted, human civilization has entered the state of space, and the vast space of Yulei has even more abundant resources. However, according to the declassified data after the war, the world's proven resources can only support the consumption of one class of powers for about 100 years at most, and absolutely cannot support the endless appetite of two class powers with a population of 800 million, so the third world war is still a war for resources. Thus. Before really going into space and becoming a Yulei civilization. Nations and peoples still have to fight over the planet's finite resources.

In areas where there is no full-scale reconnaissance. The Arctic Ocean and Antarctica are the most notable. There are also extremely cold areas like those on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Trenches at depths above the heart of the meter, Greenland, and the far north of Canada have not been fully explored, and are considered to be places of hope for the entire human civilization. Similarly, Alaska is a land that has not been fully explored, but it is also a land of hope.

According to the latest theories, rare metals have a symbiosis with precious metals such as gold, and Alaska is a major gold-producing region in the world, so there is a good chance that there are rare metal deposits in the region, and the reserves are not too low.

All in all, the authorities of the republic have long put Alaska on the plate, just no.

Of course, send troops to capture Alaska. New tactics were also rehearsed, that is, if the enemy did not resist, or only had a weak resistance, if the enemy quickly and effectively occupied the continental United States.

With this relatively successful march. The time is also ripe for the capture of the continental United States.

However, the actions of the Republican ** team in Alaska have attracted great attention from the European authorities, and the US representatives went to the Republic to confirm the surrender, so that the European authorities had to take risks.

Let the beauty ** people resist to death. It's definitely not an easy thing to do.

To be precise, it is not difficult to get a few dead eyes to resist desperately, but it is absolutely impossible to make tens of millions of American soldiers resist without their lives.

Relatively speaking, let these Americans believe. It would be much easier to leave an intact America to the enemy, which will only make the enemy stronger, and let the United States lose the opportunity for revival forever!
