Chapter 242: The Pacific Theater Full Strategy
The reward of life is far from the end of the journey, not near the beginning. I don't know how many steps I have to take to reach my goal, and when I take the thousandth step, I can still fail. But success is hidden behind the corner, and unless I turn a corner, I never know how far it will go.
One step further, and if it doesn't work, one step further. In fact, it's not too hard to improve a little bit at a time.
……
It may be delusional to lead the most backward country in the world to rise to become the world's first with science and technology, but if you don't work hard, you will always just look and make efforts, at least there is the possibility and hope of success.
Having planned the future for the Lanfang Kingdom and determined the pace of progress, Fan Yize is a person who will never give up.
This is not only the future of mankind, but also the powerful future that Fan Yize is pursuing.
Enemies, full of thorns, are nothing.
What Fan Yize was determined to do was to cut through obstacles along the way, and finally cut off the enemy's head and fly it high in the triumphant battle flag.
In order to take his first step, Fan Yize sent an engineering team of 20,000 people to enter the Lanfang Kingdom and begin comprehensive scientific and technological construction.
The floating island fortress approached the Lanfang Kingdom, and a steady stream of materials were transported from the fortress to the territory of the Lanfang Kingdom, and the scientific and technological construction of the next few years kicked off.
A group called Beyond Technology was established in the Kingdom of Lanfang.
Stepping on the other side of ideals and plans, the future of the other side of the technology group will be a blockbuster.
On the third day of Fan's ascension to the throne, the newly formed cabinet team was officially operational, all of them with young faces.
As soon as the cabinet was established, it issued a large number of relevant preferential policies to the whole country, the first of which was to exempt citizens from personal taxes and small individual enterprises.
Improve the construction of domestic education, establish more high-level institutions, exempt basic education from 12 years of tuition, and implement fee-based teaching from universities, and teach according to interests.
To this end, Fan Yize also mobilized thousands of elite teachers to arrive in this world to participate in the construction and development of education, and a large number of top teaching materials began to be printed.
Among the highest-level royal universities, professional doctoral and master's programs have been opened, and a comprehensive talent pool has been established for highly educated talents in the kingdom of Lan Fong.
……
Dozens of policies were put into effect, and the people of the Lanfang Kingdom found that the country seemed to be busier than ever.
After three days of continuous busyness, Fan Yize was finally able to take a break.
After washing and resting briefly, Fan Yize returned to the first space, that is, the time and space of the Russo-Japanese War.
In this time and space, Fan Yize stayed for a few hours, talked to Sha Junyi for a while, and helped her wipe her body, and then returned to the third time and space to sneak attack Pearl Harbor time and space.
The busyness of the main space-time, coupled with the various advanced technological environments, Fan Yize, who had just arrived in the fourth space-time, was a little uncomfortable.
Half a month has passed since Fan Yize left on the fourth space.
The Red Guard Corps has firmly controlled the Hawaiian Islands and nearby waters, and has been engaged in a lengthy battle with the U.S. Navy and Air Force.
When Fan Yize arrived in Hawaii, Ling Liang was already waiting for him here.
Riding in a car and driving on the streets of Hawaii, there is no trace of war in Hawaii at this time.
The road surface was flat, the houses were repaired, the walls of the port buildings were re-rested, the equipment was repaired, and everything was back to normal.
The people who live here are also starting to return to their normal daily routines and lives.
In addition to still being full. Outside the full hospital, there is no sign of the gunsmoke of half a month ago in Hawaii.
Arriving at the forward headquarters of the expeditionary corps, Fan Yize had already had a comprehensive understanding of the international situation in the past half a month.
As in history, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States entered the war, and the Allies and the Axis powers declared war on each other.
Everything is back on the right track in history, but the traces of the Red Guard, due to the occupation of Hawaii, are also in full view of the world.
Of course, the Red Guard Corps has no intention of concealing it, after all, this kind of thing cannot be hidden.
A mysterious army attacked and occupied Pearl Harbor in the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, an act tantamount to a declaration of war on the Allies.
Winning the goodwill of the entire Axis powers, Japan even planned to send an envoy to Hawaii to discuss the next Pacific theater.
Someone occupied Hawaii and attracted some of the firepower of the United States, and the whole of Japan was naturally happy and felt more relaxed than ever.
And the Japanese were more comfortable with military operations in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
In the United States, there are constant calls to retake Hawaii, and under the massive propaganda offensive of the American media, a large number of young people in the United States have enthusiastically joined the army, shouting to defeat the Japanese and retake Hawaii's patriotic voices, which continue to ferment and spread in the United States.
All the industries in the United States are running at an unprecedented speed, and the US Congress has even declared war on this mysterious army.
And the German mustache also announced in a high-profile manner that it was armed to occupy Hawaii and was Germany's most powerful ally.
However, half a month has passed, and no one knows the detailed identity of this army, and even if it weren't for the mustache to speak, Germany would not know that Germany still has such an ally.
However, the defeat of the United States is a fact, and it is placed in front of the whole world.
If it is said that the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was won by Japan's sneak attack, but the complete failure of various US military operations against Hawaii in the next half month is already very telling.
In order to find out the situation in Hawaii, the United States tried all kinds of ways to send submarines and planes to get close to Hawaii.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard the Americans tried, the planes were all intercepted in the airspace a thousand kilometers away from Hawaii.
The submarine could not get close to the surface blockade of the Red Alert Navy, and the final result was that in just half a month, the United States lost more than 100 aircraft of all kinds, and half of its submarine forces in the Pacific Ocean also lost half of it.
Two days ago, the Americans abandoned any operation against Hawaii because there was no way, and the United States could no longer afford to retake Hawaii until the US Navy did not have the strength to enter the Pacific Ocean.
When the United States began to test Hawaii, it also reinforced Midway, and on the third day, thousands of Marines were dispatched to land on Midway, and then expand the port of Midway.
Without Hawaii, the United States has risen to a strategic high in terms of its emphasis on Midway.
The Red Guard did not interfere with the construction and use of Midway, which allowed the United States to gradually strengthen its military presence on Midway.
The remnants of the U.S. military forces in the Pacific were all concentrated near Midway, and the airfield on Midway began to expand, and thousands of engineers were expanding various facilities on the island.
The five-square-kilometer island has become a sea fortress with the expansion of the submarine base, the expansion of the airfield, and the construction of a large number of barracks.
However, with only five square kilometers of islands, the development potential is too small to accommodate the huge US military structure.
And at this moment, the Japanese army has launched a frantic offensive in Southeast Asia.
Japan's victory in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, regardless of the final outcome and fate, is of great decisive significance to Japan at this moment.
Especially after the participation of the Red Alert Expeditionary Corps, its military role has also reached an unprecedented height.
This is the height of the Pearl Harbor attack in history, and it is impossible to reach a height.
In the original history, although Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was successful, it did not hurt the United States at all, and the United States did not lose any aircraft carriers, and the damaged warships were salvaged and repaired, and they quickly regained their combat effectiveness.
Moreover, from a comprehensive point of view, even if Japan has successfully sunk US aircraft carriers in history, its actual military role will not be able to help Japan in an all-round way.
This is a huge gap in overall national strength, and it cannot be changed by a single victory.
In fact, the Japanese are well aware of this, and the future has long been expected in the Japanese base camp.
In terms of Japan's own plan, a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor can gain an advantage of one to two years, and it is already possible.
The Red Guard Corps' action made Japan see another situation, and Germany stood up to speak out, and the Japanese base camp quickly adjusted its strategy, made a faster decision than in history, and comprehensively occupied the Pacific region, and took advantage of the fact that the United States could not respond for a longer time to build a more solid Pacific theater.
And if it can contact the forces that occupy Hawaii, Japan will need this ally.
After Japan's successful attack on Pearl Harbor, the Southern Army of the Japanese Army, under the command of General Toshiichi Terauchi, launched an all-out attack on Malaysia, the Philippines, and East British India.
On the same day, Japanese troops successfully landed in Malaysia, kicking off the war in Southeast Asia.
The British fleet in Southeast Asia was completely destroyed.
The flames of war spread throughout the Pacific Ocean.
By the time Fan returned to this world, the Japanese Army was already attacking Manila, and the American and Philippine armies under MacArthur's command were difficult to resist.
Regarding this situation, Fan Yize only paid a little attention to it, and when he arrived at the forward command, all the focus was on the South Pacific region.
The Pacific Ocean, the world's largest ocean, also has a large number of maritime islands in the area south of Australia's first line.
According to the offensive plan of the expeditionary corps, the next attack would be carried out on both eastern and western fronts, and the first offensive target on the eastern front was Isabela Island.
Located on the equator of the eastern Pacific Ocean, 1,000 kilometers west of the Ecuadorian mainland, the island is a group of isolated islands. Two million years ago, an undersea volcano erupted, spewing magma to cool down to form these islands of varying sizes.
The archipelago consists of 13 larger islands and more than a dozen smaller islands, with a total area of 8,000 square kilometers, about half the size of the Hawaiian Islands. The largest island is Isabella.
At this time, Isabela Island was not inhabited at all, and no military base existed.
The capture of this uninhabited island is a task that must be completed by the Red Guard Corps.
And this archipelago is 7,000 kilometers from Hawaii and only 1,000 kilometers from South America.
It was a springboard for the Red Guard Corps to conquer South America.
At present, the Red Guard Corps has completed the full occupation of Hawaii, and the base is capable of unit building on Hawaii.
The goal of the Red Guard Regiment is to have a front line closer to South America when attacking South America.
The main thing is that there is no one on these islands, so there is no difficulty in occupying them.
By the time the other countries reacted, the Red Guard Corps had already established itself in the archipelago, and a large number of construction units, airfields, and logistics centers were built.
Before Fan Yize's arrival, the fleet to the Isabela Islands had secretly set off, and it was expected to arrive in the Isabela Islands the day after tomorrow to complete the capture of the islands.
Another maritime expeditionary fleet is also heading west, targeting the Fiji Islands, Caledonia and New Zealand.
This fleet will open a safe sea lane for the subsequent capture of Australia, capture all the major islands on the way from Hawaii to Australia, establish air bases, and protect the shipping lanes.
At present, all preparations for the attack have been prepared, and the first batch of hundreds of thousands of troops to set off are also ready for battle.
Of the military operations that followed, only New Zealand was the one to watch.
New Zealand is not yet a sovereign state, and the Red Guard Corps has already fought against the New Zealand army in the Russo-Japanese War.
Historically, New Zealand, whether in World War I or World War II, sent troops to the front line for the British on a large scale, and suffered many casualties.
New Zealand is still a British Dominion and has no diplomatic sovereignty.
But New Zealand has its own army, but the scale is not large, because the population of New Zealand at this time is only about one million, and because of the British relationship, almost all of New Zealand's combat units are currently in the European theater.
At present, New Zealand has very few troops in the country, and it does not have much combat effectiveness.
It was not very difficult for the Red Guards to capture New Zealand, but it is worth noting that when capturing New Zealand, beware of support from Australia.
Overall, even if Australia is captured together, the pressure on the Red Guard Corps is not too great.
Once the road is successfully opened, an attack on Australia will be launched immediately, and a large number of logistical support ships are also ready to support.
The Red Police Corps, which has made sufficient preparations, has no problem at all even if it maintains high-intensity operations for half a year.
According to the plan of the Expeditionary Corps Operations General Staff, in the next three months to six months, the South Pacific region will be fully captured, including the whole of Australia, and then the Western Front will rest for half a year, so that the United States will scare the Japanese.
Then concentrate a larger part of the forces, capture South America, and the ground battlefield is approaching the mainland of the United States.
For this reason, two-thirds of the expeditionary corps troops will be concentrated in South America.
In the Western Pacific, maintain an expeditionary force of 500,000 troops, and then use the rest time to recruit troops directly in Australia to strengthen the size and combat capability of the Western Front forces to fully respond to Japan's military presence in the Pacific.
The entire plan is expected to be completed within two years, when the Red Guard Corps will occupy the initiative in the Pacific theater.
When Fan Yize had just arrived at the Hawaii Forward Command, Ling Liang proposed a plan to bomb the West Coast of the United States.
