Chapter 818: The United States is Beginning to Grit Its Teeth
In the presidential office of the White House in Washington, D.C., Secretary of State Timothy Pickering, who had just returned to the United States, said with a wry smile to US President William Colby, Vice President Edmond Randolph, and Secretary of Defense John Marshall: "Spain has also suffered from the poisonous hands of the Huaxing Society, and now the Spanish government, like the Dutch government, is asking for additional troops to be sent to the United Nations forces, and they want to go to Luzon to seek revenge on the Huaxing Society." ”
President William Colby asked in a deep voice, "What about Spain's losses?" ”
Secretary of State Timothy Pickering sighed: "The Spanish Air Force has lost 24 F-35A fighters, 36 Typhoon fighters and 48 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, as well as 4 electronic attack aircraft, 2 AWACS aircraft and 3 air tankers. ”
In fact, the Netherlands lost even more than Spain, the Spanish Air Force lost only nearly half of its strength, while the Dutch Air Force lost more than half.
Vice President Edmond Randolph next to him heard that Spain had stolen so many warplanes, and immediately said angrily: "We, the United States, have repeatedly reminded all the countries in the United Nations force, and the Netherlands has just been stolen by Huaxing Association hundreds of warplanes, what is the Spanish government going to eat!" How could Huaxing get more than 100 fighters from the Spanish Air Force? Let them send more fighters to the United Nations forces, they are all pushing, now it's good, all of a sudden it's cheaper! ”
Secretary of State Timothy Pickering continued: "The place where the Spanish fighter jets disappeared was the Cartagena Air Base, which had been heavily guarded and closed off the entire air base, but not long after a helicopter carrying supplies damaged a section of the base's iron fence more than 3 meters high, the fighters in the Cartagena Air Base began to disappear one after another, and it cannot be said that the Spanish government did not pay attention to the strange methods of the Huaxing Society." ”
Secretary of Defense John Marshall said thoughtfully: "According to the disappearance of fighters at the Cartagena Air Base in Spain, I think it is very likely that the people of Huaxing will not only have the superpower to transfer objects, but also the function of stealth, and the superpower to transfer objects must also contact objects to do so, otherwise why the wall of Cartagena Air Base has just been damaged, and the warplanes inside have begun to disappear mysteriously, while there are no warplanes mysteriously disappeared in other closed air bases in Spain." ”
If Lin Daxin was here, he would definitely give a thumbs up to the US Secretary of Defense, John Marshall's analysis was very close to the truth, but what John Marshall never imagined was that Lin Daxin used the crossing ring to transfer the stolen things to another time and space.
President William Colby thought for a moment and said: "General John Marshall's analysis is very reasonable, we transferred the fighter planes to the airfield on the island, and completely sealed the island, so that the Huaxing Society, the kind of people who have the ability to transfer objects, cannot enter the closed island, and so that the fighters at the island airport have not disappeared. ”
At this time, Secretary of State Timothy Pickering also nodded and said: "The Germans have completely closed off all air bases in the country this time, and even replenished supplies by airdrop." So far, there has not been a single incident of missing fighters in various air bases in Germany, and I also think that the defense minister's analysis is very reasonable, it seems that as long as the base is completely closed, even if the people of the Huaxing Association have the superpower of stealth, they will not be able to enter the base to steal the fighters. ”
President William Colby then asked Secretary of State Timothy Pickering, "Is there any movement from the rest of Europe?" ”
President William Colby meant to ask if there were any unlucky countries in Europe besides Britain, the Netherlands and Spain, where the warplanes were missing.
Secretary of State Timothy Pickering shook his head and said: "In addition to the United Kingdom, which has suffered heavy losses, only the Netherlands and Spain have disappeared at present, and the other European countries in the United Nations force have not had a single missing incident, and after the disappearance of the Netherlands and Spain, European countries should be more careful!" PRESIDENT, how do we respond to the requests of the Dutch and Spanish governments for additional troops to the United Nations? ”
If the Netherlands and Spain want to increase the United Nations troops, they only need the nod of the United States, after all, this United Nations force, in the final analysis, is led by the United States, and even the British are only supporting roles.
President William Colby asked, "Did the Netherlands and Spain say exactly how many additional troops they were going to send to Luzon?" ”
"The Dutch government is preparing to add one mechanized infantry regiment and one light infantry regiment, as well as 12 lightning fighters, to the United Nations force, and the Spanish government is preparing to add one additional mechanized infantry brigade and 12 Typhoon fighters to the United Nations force," Secretary Timothy Pickering said. ”
President William Colby nodded, "If we can take the initiative to ask for more troops, what reason can we refuse, tell the Dutch government and the Spanish government that the United Nations forces welcome the additional warplanes and troops sent by the two countries." ”
After a pause, President William Colby asked Secretary of Defense John Marshall, "Has the Department of Defense's latest plan for the increase in fighter jets been made?" ”
Secretary of Defense John Marshall said in a deep voice: "Originally, it was planned that the United States would concentrate seven aircraft carrier-based aircraft carriers and deploy 520 fighter planes at the airport on Fuga Island, so that the United States alone could dispatch 1,010 fighters in the next battle against Huaxinghui, but now the situation has changed, and Huaxinghui has obtained a large number of fighters from several European countries this time, so that the United States has to send more fighters." ”
At this time, Vice President Edmond Randolph interjected and asked: "Can our US Navy transfer one or two more aircraft carrier groups to the Philippines?" ”
Secretary of Defense John Marshall shook his head and said: "Our U.S. Navy already has 18 aircraft carriers and has formed 18 aircraft carrier formations, but since the fight with Huaxinghui, our U.S. Navy has sunk 2 aircraft carriers, and 3 aircraft carriers have been seriously injured and have returned to the shipyard for repairs, so that our U.S. Navy only has 13 aircraft carriers to use, and 3 of the 13 aircraft carriers are undergoing regular maintenance, that is, The US Navy has dispatched seven of the 10 aircraft carriers capable of carrying out combat missions, and the remaining three really cannot be transferred. ”
Vice President Edmond Randolph said with understanding: "It seems that it is really impossible to increase the aircraft carrier group to the Philippines, and the fighter jets of the Air Force can only be transferred." ”
"Our Department of Defense plans to draw another 32 F-35A fighters, 32 F-22 Raptor fighters, 118 F-15 fighters and 118 F-16 fighters from the Air Force, adding up to 300 fighters to the United Nations force, so that we in the United States can put more than 1,300 fighter jets in the next offensive, and we are already preparing to join the Gallayan Island in the Babuyan Islands, north of Fuga Islands," said Defense Secretary John Marshall. Construction of a second temporary large field airfield. ”
After listening to the plan of the Ministry of Defense, President William Colby thought for a while and said: "This time, Huaxing will get 810 fighters from Britain, 170 fighters from the Netherlands, and 108 fighters from Spain, so it is 1,088 planes.
Secretary of Defense John Marshall was silent for a moment and said: "It is impossible for the United States to send all the fighters to the Philippines, and this time the Air Force has sent 300 more fighters, and we ......."
John Marshall then sighed without finishing his sentence: "Alright, then, President, let's send as many more fighters to the Philippines as we can!" ”
John Marshall also knew that now the United States was already in a difficult position to ride the tiger, so it could only hold on, and the British Air Force suffered very heavy losses this time, and basically there was no need to expect Britain to send more fighters to the United Nations forces, and it was impossible for other countries to send too many more fighters, and the Americans could only rely on themselves to offset the thousands of fighters that Huaxing would add this time.
President William Colby gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't do it, and then transfer one Marine Corps aircraft wing to the Philippines, or transfer the remaining two Marine aircraft wings over." ”
The U.S. Marine Corps has a total of five aircraft wings, and the original plan was to transfer three to the airport on Fuga Island, and if two more were to be mobilized to the Philippines, it would be equivalent to the entire air force of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Secretary of Defense John Marshall frowned and said, "President, our Department of Defense needs to study and strive to transfer more fighter jets, and I hope that all military aircraft factories in the country will enter the wartime system." ”
President William Colby said without hesitation: "There is no problem, there are already several aircraft factories that have entered the wartime system, and I will give orders to other aircraft factories and parts factories to enter the wartime system." ”
President William Colby then said to Secretary of State Timothy Pickering: "Let all the countries outside Europe be careful, and tell them the experience of the Germans' defense, and we must not let Huaxing steal fighters from all the countries of our United Nations forces to strengthen their air force, otherwise we in the United States will not be able to form an overwhelming advantage even if we send all the fighters to the Philippines." ”
Secretary of State Timothy Pickering immediately said: "I immediately called the high-level officials of Israel, India, Japan and other countries in person, and told them to guard their own warplanes and stop giving big gifts to Huaxing." ”
In addition to sending a large number of fighter planes to the United Nations forces itself, the United States has also asked other countries of the United Nations forces to send more fighter planes to join the war on Luzon in light of the current grim situation.
However, for the United States to ask for more fighter jets again, the United Nations forces and other countries have no reaction, some countries are powerless, just like the United Kingdom, if it were not for the unforgettable hatred of Huaxing, even the fighter jets originally planned to be sent to the Philippines, Britain did not want to send, after all, the British Air Force losses this time were too bad.
Most countries don't want to send fighter jets to join the United Nations forces, and now the air force of the Huaxing Association has thousands of fighters, and they are all fighters with good performance, that is, some of the third-generation fighters obtained from the British, are not inferior to the general fourth-generation fighters in terms of performance, if they compete with the air force of the Huaxing Society, how many fighters will the United Nations forces have to lose!
The fighter planes of various countries are bought with real money, and each one is worth a lot of money, and no one wants to lose one easily, and even many countries in the United Nations force have the idea of withdrawing from this United Nations force.
However, the factors of the United States and Britain have made those countries that have ideas hesitate a lot, and they have not put forward a request to withdraw from the United Nations forces for the time being, but if they are asked to send more fighters, then these countries will definitely not agree.
Of course, the United States does not have much hope for other countries with UN troops, and the United States knows that it can only rely on its own country to send a large number of fighter jets to the UN forces.
Lin Daxin didn't care about the thoughts of the United Nations forces, and after he had no gains from several air bases in Poland, he decided to end his trip to Europe, and the original plan to go to Hungary and Turkey were all abandoned by Lin Daxin.
Lin Daxin took a free flight directly at the international airport in Warsaw and prepared to leave Europe, but Lin Daxin did not take a flight to the Philippines, but chose to fly to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.
Lin Daxin's trip to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain in Europe, although he stole thousands of fighters, but he was still a little dissatisfied, he finally came to Europe, in order to steal fighters, every day to delay the hatching of 1,000 cyborgs, Lin Daxin calculated, he has been wandering around in European countries for 10 days, which is equivalent to 10,000 fewer Freedom Corps, enough to form 2 and a half infantry brigades.
Lin Daxin thought that his efficiency was too average, and decided to steal some more fighters to increase his efficiency, but European countries obviously had a defense against themselves, and the defensive methods made their own empty stunts unable to perform, so Lin Daxin decided to shift the target, and first hit the idea on the United Nations forces, Israel, a hardcore ally of the United States.
