Just like another time and space, MacArthur failed to achieve his goal of "ending the war before XX", and the American troops were firmly blocked in the southern part of the Qatar Peninsula, and after months of offensive and defensive attacks in the desert, a large number of armored vehicles were added to the desert.

But at this time, the disadvantage of the republic's inability to manufacture the main tank itself is reflected, and now that the sea access is blocked, the republic can only step up the repair of damaged chariots in order to cope with the attrition of the front. Lin Youde's side also urgently built a batch of large transport vehicles to transport new combat vehicles to the Republic by land, but the number of these additional transport vehicles was still too small, and only more than 100 new main combat vehicles could be delivered to the Republic a month.

The people who support Lin Youde don't understand, don't the chariots run on the ground, why do they have to specialize in manufacturing transport vehicles? Just let the chariot drive over and you're done.

In fact, the suspension system of a combat vehicle is too complex compared to that of a normal vehicle, and even if it is maneuvered on the road, it will severely affect the integrity of the entire suspension system and increase the probability of failure. Even German-made combat vehicles that deliberately emphasize the ability to maneuver over long distances should avoid long-distance road maneuvers as much as possible -- if they break through into the enemy's occupied area, of course, they will not say anything, they can only run on tracks, and they must run as far as they can, no matter how many tanks break down in the middle of the road. However, when maneuvering in the area controlled by itself, the vehicle should avoid traveling with its own walking system as much as possible.

Especially on the road from Turkey to Iraq, because most of the road is arid or semi-arid, the dust is unusually large, the engine of the car often breaks down, and the filter of the air intake is cleaned with a few kilograms of sand and dust at every turn, and such an environment is impossible to let the tank run on its own.

Lin Youde's propaganda agency is working at full speed to popularize this knowledge, but it is useless, which makes Lin Youde somewhat realize the helplessness of his original time-space science popularization personnel.

All in all, even if Lin Youde's side had the heart to support, it would not be able to provide a sufficient supply of chariots. Fortunately, the Americans are not at full power now, and the liberty wheels that the Americans made for the Great War back then were not as durable as real freighters because they were all rushed products, and there were not so many things to transport after the war, so by 53 the liberty wheels had been almost dismantled, and only a small amount was mothballed as a strategic reserve.

Now taking out these mothballed ships, plus the requisitioned cargo ships, can only barely guarantee the supply to the front. The U.S. government didn't think about launching the Freedom Wheel program again, but the budget required was too much and was directly stuck by Congress, and in the end, it had no choice but to transfer the procurement of food, clothing and other supplies to India, so the American GIs began to eat curry every day.

However, at this time, India did not have much industry, not even cars, and could only produce some parts. After counting everything that can be purchased in India, the United States still finds itself facing considerable supply pressure, and Australia's car production capacity is not particularly large and cannot absorb many orders.

Especially for high-performance engines, the Americans found that the closest production area to the battlefield was Europe. And Europe is now basically controlled by Lin Youde, and only one British is willing to provide it, but if a cargo ship departing from Britain goes to the Mediterranean, it will be checked by the French Coast Guard, the Italian Coast Guard, the Israeli Coast Guard, and the Greek Coast Guard along the way, and all kinds of reasons to detain the ship for inspection.

The Americans calculated for a long time, and finally wanted to order an engine from Xinming -- Xinming bought an entire German-style automobile engine production line from Lin Youde. Xinming naturally refused, and in the end the Americans could only continue to deliver these important supplies from their homeland.

In response, they had to increase the number of requisitioned cargo ships, much to the displeasure of many legislators representing the interests of shipping companies, and there were already legislators in the states of the western coast of the United States who openly opposed the continuation of the war in state legislatures.

At present, there are planes, combat vehicles, trucks, medicines, ammunition, and so on sent to the front line on US transport ships, and the priority of carrying combat vehicles is lower than that of airplanes, and the volume of cargo positions that can be occupied is naturally limited.

In addition, the battle loss ratio of the tank is superior to the Republic ****, so everyone fought for a long time and even had a draw, and no one had enough armor to kill the other party with one punch.

"It looks like it's going to develop into a tug-of-war like the Korean War in another time and space."

Lin Youde looked at the beauties gathered in his room and said helplessly.

Now Lin Youde's family has their own areas of responsibility, and there is less time to get together in normal times. Viola is going to conduct an election campaign; The fox manages intelligence on the one hand, and maintains the operation of the Foundation on the other hand; Sissi is the head of Lin's security manpower dispatch company, focusing on training and company management; Isabella and Lydia are both super-star stars with a full tour schedule; Angelita is now a saint of New Christianity, she is the main force in the religious side to face the extremist faction of Christianity, and she is also very busy every day, and she only ended her all-European sermon tour some time ago; As for Charlie, she has no plans to return to France after her vacation to return to politics, but she is now working to strengthen people-to-people ties between Germany and France.

In fact, Xia Li is now a bit like a diplomat of the Lin family, often running from various countries.

Lin Youde's daughters are now also starting to be on their own, which means that they will no longer be with their stinky father all day long as they used to.

Not to mention Lilith, who was also touring all day, Ysera had recently helped Viola prepare for the election campaign and often stayed in Berlin with Viola, and Nia took her Spartan and the people from the Institute of Theoretical Physics to Greenland, the overseas dominion of the Kingdom of Denmark, to make a real thing, where there was a large wasteland, which was suitable for the embodiment of the real thing. In order to ensure that the Americans did not bother their brains, Nia brought an entire Lin private army, including her special magic guide armor. Also for safety, the Queen of Denmark was also invited by Lin Youde to temporarily move to Greenland, also with magic armor.

Sophie is now obsessed with scientific research, and she really became a scientist as she said when she was a child, but the direction of her research has gone astray.

Xiaolu had been with Lin Youde all the time, but in the fall of 53, Xiaolu began to receive training in the water to move in a gravity-free environment, training for more than ten hours a day.

Now the only one who really accompanies Lin Youde every day is Oh Sauce, so many years have passed, Oh Sauce is still the same Oh Sauce, there is no change at all.

Lin Youde always had a feeling that he might have misjudged Oh Chan's age. It stands to reason that a teenage girl has experienced a lot of things around her over the years, and there will definitely be some changes. After thinking about it, Lin Youde thinks that there is only one explanation, that is, Oh Sauce's actual age is very old, so the experience gained in the past ten years is nothing in her total experience, so it will not cause any changes.

Lin Youde once tried to ask Oh Sauce on the side, but Oh Sauce was quite disdainful of this question and didn't answer it at all.

To get back to the point, because the family is busy with their own things, Lin Youde has set a hard rule, at least once every quarter there must be a family meeting where everyone gathers, and everyone's schedule must give priority to the arrangement of the meeting.

Now is the first family meeting after the rules have been set.

Lin Youde looked at the beautiful girls and beautiful women who filled the room, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction - these are all mine, although five of them may not be in the future, but now they are all mine.

The current topic doesn't need to be asked, of course, it is the war in the Persian Gulf, and after Lin Youde's sentence just started, the beauties discussed it.

"Can't we have a good discussion with the United States, let the United States also settle in the Persian Gulf to establish a state, so that the contradiction is resolved, and at the same time, the Arabs have not been allowed to get oil, isn't it a perfect solution to all the problems?" Lydia said with a smile.

Isabella immediately shook her head: "Impossible, the two river basins can still develop agricultural production, the areas east of Qatar are all rotten land, and there is more suitable land for agricultural production in Oman."

Oman has a mountain that blocks some of the rain from the Indian Ocean, so Oman still has some green space near the capital.

But it turns out that the land of the UAE cannot be used for agricultural production at all.

Such land immigrants who are naturally good at farming Chinese may not have been useful in the past, let alone Americans, no American will like these places.

"How about the American fleet that bombed the Persian Gulf with nuclear bombs?" The fox said, that tone was a joke when she heard it, so she immediately reaped the disdain of everyone present.

"Or reconcile with the Americans by sharing the oil?" Sissi's Jian yì sounded the most normal, but she immediately denied it herself, "Americans won't be at ease, and I won't be at ease if I change me, I must really control the oil in my own hands." ”

At this time, Viola sighed and said: "Why are they all thinking about reconciliation, and think carefully about how to win the Americans, isn't it good?" Now the Americans can't use all their strength, unlike in World War II, it's a good opportunity to win them. In another time and space, aren't Americans also in the post-war continuous ****? This plane will feed them again. ”

"That can't be said, the Americans didn't lose the Korean War, they just didn't win it." Lin Youde shrugged.

In another time and space, the Korean War did not actually end, because there was no agreement to end the war, but an armistice. That's why North Korea and South Korea are firing artillery at each other from time to time, and the international community hasn't done much, because North and South Korea are still in a state of war, and it's normal to fire an artillery piece and blow up a ship with a torpedo.

So the Korean War was not won or lost, because it was not fought - legally and logically.

"As for the Vietnam War, this is mainly because the center of gravity of the Cold War is mainly in Europe, the Asia-Pacific is a secondary direction, and the Americans cannot expand the war. And the Americans did not dare to launch a large-scale offensive operation against North Vietnam, for fear of going too deep into the Chinese army to enter Vietnam to participate in the war, at that time China not only resisted the United **** in Korea, but also beat the Soviet army on Zhenbao Island, and printed the army on the Sino-Indian border, the whole world knew that the Chinese Army could fight, and the Americans did not want to confront the Chinese Army head-on again. ”

Lin Youde's remarks, all the girls in the room nodded again and again, only Lilith looked uninterested.

At this time, Nia suddenly said: "In that case, how about letting the current Xinming make a gesture of crossing the Yalu River and destroying the old Ming Empire of partial Korea?" ”

Lin Youde narrowed his eyes and thought about it.

"It makes sense, at least to force the United States to increase the presence of troops on the Korean Peninsula. In addition, it is also possible to ask the Alliance for Human Innovation to organize a joint military exercise to put a little pressure on the Americans. ”R1148
