Chapter 325: The Decisive Battle of the Pacific Fleet

As the location of the base camp of the republic, Hanjing Mountain is said to be a mountain, but in fact, it has a large scope, integrating the office of the head of state's base camp, the accommodation of senior leaders, leisure and entertainment and other places.

In terms of area alone, it is larger than Zhongnanhai in later generations. However, Hanjing Mountain is different from Zhongnanhai in the center of the city, and when the Republic established the capital, Zhang Shusheng vetoed the proposal to move the capital to Yanjing and use Zhongnanhai on the side of the Forbidden City. Instead, it was decided to make Hanjing the capital, and after comprehensive consideration, the wasteland was surrounded and Hankyung Mountain was built.

Today's Hanjing Mountain, the area is very large, small hills and natural rivers can be seen, and there are many lakes, generally speaking, it is more natural than the artificial carving of Zhongnanhai. The water in Hanjing Mountain is living water, and the hill is also lush and green, and after transplanting some ancient pines and ancient cypress trees into it, the scenery is even more pleasant.

Hanjing Mountain West Garden, by the East River, Zhang Shusheng was fishing, accompanied by the second leader of the republic, Sun Changqing, who had retreated to the second line but still held a number of prominent honorary positions. The central guards were far away and did not disturb the two.

Sun Changqing, who is seventy years old, seems to be in good spirits, and his physical condition is very good. In his words, even if he is the head of the republic, he is still a godson after all.

"Shu Sheng, how can I look at you so much like when I first saw you thirty years ago. Many times I think that in 30 years, things are not people, but you are like the beginning, you have ideals and vitality, so that people can trust at a glance. Sun Changqing said with emotion, it is undeniable that this godson is now powerful and one of the best in the world, but many times, as long as Zhang Shusheng calms down, especially when he is fishing, he sees the young man who came to spend the night with torches in a trance.

"As long as a person's heart can be steadfast, everything can remain the same. Just like your godfather, as long as you can be young, you can always maintain your youthful heart. Zhang Shusheng stared at the float on the water, the float was trembling slightly, obviously a fish was biting the bait.

"That's right, I'm not as good as you in terms of heart and surname."

Sun Changqing can think about it, as for Zhang Shusheng's ability to maintain his youth, he also feels normal, knowing that it is due to some kind of biological science and technology, even he has taken some drugs to improve physiological functions, and the effect of prolonging life is very good, which he knows very well.

"Old man, I've been immersed in fishing and other things recently, I'm afraid I've missed a lot of national events, or I'm talking to an old man." Sun Changqing is indeed a little concerned about the situation, because Zhang Shusheng has instructed the base camp, current affairs and political situation, if the old man wants to know, then report it in great detail, if he doesn't want to know, don't bother, it's time to take care of the old age, and let the young people do the heavy state affairs.

"Godfather, if you want to hear it, then the two of us will chatter and set up this dragon gate array."

When he was with Sun Changqing, Zhang Shusheng was the most free and easy, and there were very few stumbles as the head of state, not because of anything else, Sun Changqing did treat him as his second son from beginning to end, and he himself came to this big era alone, and there was no one close to the Zhang family, and he had a feeling of real relatives for Sun Changqing.

Zhang Shusheng started fishing, changed the bait, and said, "Let's start with the closer." The Marine Corps unit attacking the Philippines quickly took Manila and is currently waiting for the follow-up army to land, and it is estimated that in another month, it will launch offensives against other parts of the Philippines. In two or three months, the entire territory of the Philippines will be occupied. โ€

"This feeling is good, the Philippines is so close to us, and it will work completely if it is changed to the Philippine Province or something in the future." Sun Changqing grinned.

"That's what I'm thinking about too. However, we may not consider setting up provinces directly, and in the future, we will set up provinces in a unified manner for these newly occupied lands, and the provinces will be subdivided. This is mainly to distinguish it from the mainland and some important regions, and the policy aspects in the future will naturally be different. โ€

This is also the political division and grading system that Zhang Shusheng thought about very early, the status of the local area must be the highest, a few regions will directly set up provinces, and the status will be slightly higher, and other regions will set up provinces in a unified manner.

"What about the war in the Pacific?" Sun Changqing asked.

Zhang Shusheng: "First of all, I have sunk a lot of American ships near the west coast of the Americans, but I have never taken the action of bombing the US mainland. Although the Americans have relatively strong land-based air forces in some areas, if they say that they do not have bad intentions, they can greatly drag down the Americans by saying that they have a mobile surname of their huge fleet.

If I can't do my job, we can't.

The decisive battle between us and the Americans' Pacific Fleet is already showing signs of a decisive battle.

Both sides are very cautious, you come and go, the loss is not big, but gradually both lose their trust. In particular, after the Americans saw certain mentality of the Americans, they were inclined to start a decisive battle with us. โ€

"Shall we fight then?" Sun Changqing asked with concern, and he also understood that this war was inevitable and had a bearing on the pattern of power in the Pacific in the next two to three years.

"Fight, it should start in the next few days. The sword is out of its sheath, how can it be withdrawn back? Moreover, we will definitely be able to win. Zhang Shusheng said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the float that had been trembling on the water surface for a long time suddenly rushed into the water, Zhang Shusheng was quick with his hands and eyes, and pulled the fishing rod suddenly, the fishing rod bent rapidly, the fishing line trembled violently, and from time to time, the head of a carp with more than two catties of fish exposed to the surface of the water.

"Haha, we're sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but we want to see where you run."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ Far away in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere near Hawaii.

Ge Yunsheng waited anxiously in the war room, and then the staff officer came over and reported, "Commander, the night attack group has returned after disturbing Pearl Harbor. According to preliminary statistics, there were no results, and the American fleet was basically pulled out of the sea. โ€

After listening to the staff officer's report, even Gao Xiaochuan couldn't help but scold: "Why is this American so daring? I don't stay in the harbor at night, and I am careful to even go back to replenish it. During this time, I have almost had enough of going around in circles. โ€

Ge Yunsheng smiled, motioned for the staff to go down, and said to Gao Xiaochuan, "The Americans are also cautious, their fleet was blown up by a night attack last time, this time, of course, people will not honestly wait for us to sneak attack the port."

The huge anti-aircraft fire group, land-based night combat aircraft, and new radars were all used by the Americans to protect the harbor, but the other people's fleets basically did not stay in the harbor, and we could not go all out to bomb Pearl Harbor. โ€

The situation of the Sino-American naval battle was very clear at the beginning, and the Americans were waiting for the Chinese to come up, and the two sides would make a big fight, and the big deal was to send a small fleet or simply use Pearl Harbor as bait to attract the main forces of the Chinese fleet to come, and the two sides fought a decisive battle. Just like a few decades ago, the Battle of the Yellow Sea, or the Battle of Britain and Germany, or the Battle of Russia.

However, as he vacillated and failed to make efforts, the attitude of the Americans also changed again and again, and finally they started a war of attrition with the Chinese fleet, trying to defeat the Chinese fleet in one fell swoop when the Chinese fleet was poorly supplied.

However, China, relying on its strong maritime transportation capabilities, would rather spend a lot of money than transit through Guam and travel long distances to replenish the expeditionary fleet.

Ge Yunsheng: "It seems that there is only the third step. โ€

Gao Xiaochuan's eyes lit up, and he also remembered the preparatory plan in the Indians' counterattack.

"I agree that as long as the third-step plan is implemented, the Americans will have to start a decisive battle with us at sea."

Ge Yunsheng nodded, and then looked at the sky in the distance, he knew that as soon as the third step plan was executed, the decisive battle would start immediately, and neither side would have any way out.

Second, the main force of the expeditionary force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet turned around en masse and openly headed for Los Angeles, an important western city in the United States.

Later the next day, a US Navy reconnaissance plane 'accidentally' discovered that China's huge fleet was heading toward the US mainland, and General MacArthur, who had received the report, was shocked and hurriedly ordered the Pacific Fleet to pursue it at full speed.

"A decisive battle between China and the United States is naturally inevitable. It's just that in terms of time and place, it's different from what I think. โ€

On the USS Washington, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet and a supercarrier with a displacement of 40,000 tons, Admiral MacArthur, commander of the Pacific Fleet, who personally led the Combined Pacific Fleet in pursuit of the Chinese fleet, looked at the sea outside the glass window and was quietly distracted.

Just now, President Roosevelt and the Secretary of the Navy called one after another to inquire about the whereabouts of the Chinese fleet.

In the eyes of the American political axe, haven't the Chinese always relied on the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, preparing to have a gentleman's decisive battle around Pearl Harbor and the US fleet just like the Ben sneak attack on Pearl Harbor?

However, now, when the Chinese fleet has left Pearl Harbor and is heading straight for the United States, the Americans are really panicking.

If war losses, even Mr. President does not care, there will always be losses in war, but once the huge fleet of Chinese air strikes an important city in the continental United States and drops the first bomb since the founding of the United States, then it seems that the material damage to the United States is not great, but it will bring a huge political disaster.

MacArthur understood very well that the Chinese would not necessarily dare to bomb the American mainland, which would mean a never-ending war, a war from which there would be no way back. If the Chinese attack the US mainland, then a full-scale war will immediately break out, and the Americans will soon weaken their deployment in other regions and go all out to fight a full-scale war with the Chinese in the Pacific Ocean and even in Asia.

However, MacArthur could not afford to gamble, even if they knew that the bombing of the American mainland would not be particularly helpful to the Chinese, but they still could not let the Chinese fleet bypass the Hawaiian Islands and go straight to the American mainland.

This is like if the American fleet appeared off the coast of China and headed straight for any major city, the Chinese would take a decisive battle to stop this disaster, even if it cost anything.

Even if he knew that the Chinese were forcing himself to fight a decisive battle, he had no other way.

In a short phone call, General MacArthur assured the president and the secretary of the Navy that the Pacific Fleet would wage a decisive battle with the Chinese fleet at any cost to avoid a fierce air attack on the mainland by nearly 1,000 carrier-based aircraft from the Chinese.

About 20 aircraft carriers, nearly a thousand carrier-based aircraft, not to mention a Los Angeles, or a San Francisco, or even the entire California California, a small half of the western United States will be within the operational range of Chinese carrier-based aircraft.

MacArthur knew very well that not to mention the whole of California, even if the two states combined, did not have as many carrier-based aircraft as the Chinese fleet, the United States was too big, even the western coast was too extensive.

Once Chinese carrier-based aircraft bomb the continental United States, there will not be a single Western/Southwest/Southern American city, or even a state, that can withstand such an air attack, and it will inevitably suffer extremely heavy losses.

"Command!" General MacArthur thought for a moment, knowing that because the Chinese fleet had transport ships, the overall fleet would not be particularly fast, "abandon all auxiliary warships, pursue the Chinese at full speed, and send more reconnaissance planes to keep an eye on the Chinese fleet." โ€

At the same time, the Chinese fleet is slowly sailing hundreds of nautical miles ahead.

"Report, Commander Ge, Senior Deputy Commander, the US fleet is chasing us in a straight line, and their reconnaissance planes have been biting our tracks."

The communications staff officer reported to Ge Yunsheng and the others the report he had just received from the Sea Eagle high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance plane.

"Very well, let them keep watching, we will keep the current speed and wait for the Americans to come up."

Ge Yunsheng ordered that according to the current route, the fleet would always move in the direction of the continental United States, but maintain a certain distance to avoid being disturbed by the concentration of land-based aircraft, but as long as he wanted, the fleet could turn in a straight line and approach the continental United States at any time.

"It's really a little nervous, just thinking about the 70% of the Americans' naval power chasing behind my ass, I am very excited." Gao Xiaochuan couldn't help but say.

"Hmm."

Ge Yunsheng just hummed simply, and it seemed that he had been thinking about the situation for two or three days, in a place hundreds of nautical miles away from the US mainland, the Chinese and American fleets finally encountered, and then, thousands of carrier-based planes on both sides fought from morning to night, just to decide the victory or defeat of the two fleets.

Looking in the direction of the continental United States, Ge Yunsheng said lightly: "We will definitely end the myth that Americans are undefeated." โ€

Thus, at dawn on the third day, General MacArthur, who was asleep on his desk, received a report that the fleet was about to enter the range of the best decisive battle at sea, the best duel between the carrier-based aircraft.

The decisive battle between China and the United States in the Pacific Ocean officially broke outโ€”โ€”
