The war situation in Northeast Asia determines the ownership of more than 2 million square kilometers of land, which determines not only the land power of Northeast Asia, but also the sea power.

The present war has reached an unprecedented point in the creation of attack power on both sides, if it is simply the release of attack power, the Republic and the Haisong side can process hundreds of tons of steel nails into more than 300 mm caliber, 40 times the barrel of artillery, confine 180 kg of explosives in a narrow barrel, and push 700 kg of conical projectiles to shoot 36 kilometers away at 2.5 times the speed of sound and 30 degrees of elevation. Such a shell hits any city wall, and one shot is directly second.

The power of this attack created by mankind with conventional weapons could not be resisted by any fortress in the era of nuclear weapons fifty years later. Yet humanity's ability to create destructive power has reached such an extent that it has not increased the power of transport to the same level. So much so that machinery that hits such a devastating force is difficult to transport. Land warfare is still the home of both sides using the barrel of their guns to confine chemical energy to project projectiles. Other land artillery can't be made in Daisato. It's all because of the shipping. At present, the land warfare of both sides is still relying heavily on manpower and animal power to transport the power of destruction firepower. Armored vehicles glimpse into the scene, but lose the power to transport destructive forces in complex terrain.

The bomb load of the fighter was only 250 kilograms. Only warships, with a displacement of thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons, can carry heavy firepower systems, and can freely carry powerful destructive power from the water surface from one zone to another. A row of warships lined up in the harbor at the Sasebo Naval Base, these steel monsters that humans could drive with current technology, erected above the water, although the calm and rough muzzles showed a murderous aura.

This place has been chartered by the Hai Song army since 70 years ago. As the protector of the route from Northeast Asia to Los Angeles, this army has three battleships of more than 10,000 tons, six heavy cruisers of more than 7,000 tons, and 12 destroyers of 1,000 tons and 5,000 tons. Such an elite navy can be put into Europe, and the navy formed by the kings of various countries can be violently cleared around Europe from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel to the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.

The reason for putting such a powerful fleet in Northeast Asia. At the beginning of the establishment of the North Pacific Fleet, the North Pacific Fleet demanded that any hostile act that might be facing the Japanese archipelago could be suppressed within three days. Along with the rule of the Hai Song in the Japanese archipelago, there were also 30,000 modern troops conscripted from the Japanese archipelago. Seven daimyo close to the Sea Song.

And now this is also the best observation point for Haisong to pay attention to the situation in Northeast Asia. Three months ago, a total of 100,000 troops of the three Haisong armies were sent to the Chao # Xian Peninsula. At the same time, a diplomatic offensive was taken against Wu Shijie, who occupied Liao Province. However, the strategy of Northeast Asia changed after the Republican Army completely took Shanxi.

As a superpower, the IRA began to enter Northeast Asia in earnest. This place in Beiping was attacked from both sides in the south and west, and such a flanking attack naturally required the same force to resist. However, placing military forces capable of resisting both fronts in the Republican semi-encirclement attack ring to the west and south would allow for oversupply to maintain the supply lines of operations on the land. It is far easier to destroy supply lines in a war than in other wars. The busier the supply line, the easier it is to destroy. The supply line of the armies on the two fronts of the republican army is under the protection of the Taihang and Yinshan mountain ranges, which shows that the armies that can destroy the republican army's combat supply lines in this area cannot be large in number, nor can they carry heavy weapons. As for the army from Shandong in the south, all the land reform in the rear has been completed, and there are militia realms in the countryside. The Imperial Army simply could not intersperse sabotage.

But in order to defend Beijing, Wu Shijie's supply line could only expose one direction to the northeast from the semi-encirclement. There is only one railway in this direction. Unless this railway is defended everywhere, once the railway is blown up and the front-line materials are stopped for a while, once the 100,000 modern troops lose their supplies, they will lose one of the two major criteria for the formation of the modern army - the option of sufficient supplies. A rout is not out of the question.

"This is an unfavorable battlefield," said Beilianghai, a veteran of the Song dynasty, commander of the North Pacific Fleet. Looking at the map of Beiping, he said. "Although we can make up for the disadvantage of the supply line of the Wu army in the north plane by sea. However, in terms of space, fighting on two fronts is still very disadvantaged."

A clerk said, "Chief, then you mean to give up this area of Beiping. Bei Liang shook his head and said, "I mean the front can't be limited to here. Bei Liang pointed to the map of the Shandong Peninsula and said, "We need to keep a garrison here at all times." The force used to contain the northward movement of the Red Army's army. Their coastline is currently undefended against us. ”

The camera cut to Ren Di's side, looking at the map of the north, Ren Di and a group of senior officers studied it for a long time. All because this war is not easy to fight. With the current transportation capacity, it is easy for the Republican Army to reach Beiping, but it is already the limit of military force. However, without entering the Northeast, Beiping cannot become the capital, but is just a battlefield meat grinder. If it were only the Wu army in the northeast, it would be fine. Ren Di is not a fool, and no one on this battlefield is a fool, Hai Song is such a big man. Watching from the side, the blind can see it.

In the farming novel of the Republic of China, the two superpowers fight each other, and finally let the forces led by the traverser wait until the right time to stand up and knock off one superforce, and then the plot of beating the superforce on the other side does not exist. Ren Di is not so stupid, and cooperates with Hai Song as the protagonist to make a shining debut. Hai Song also does not have this aura that can make the entire Republican Army brainless. Ren Di has a headache, and Zhao Weiguo doesn't have a headache.

As an evolved officer of the Red Camp, he didn't know how the TG army in his plane's history arrived in the northeast. It is a line from the land of North China and Hebei to the Longkou ferry in the north of the Shandong Peninsula. Arriving across the Jiaodong Peninsula is another line. At that time, under the strategic background, it was the foot basin that was hoisted, World War II was basically over, and there was no naval blockade at all from the Shandong Peninsula to the Jiaozhou Bay Peninsula, and TG relied on sailing ships to transport 110,000 people over. Thoroughly entered the Northeast.

As for the current Hai Song Grand Fleet and the Northern Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, they are staring at Bohai Bay. Crossing the sea to reach the northeast is not at all passable. When Zhao Weiguo gave Ren Di's order, you don't have to count on the navy, and use the army to enter the northeast to establish a base as much as possible and advance step by step. For this command. Ren Di has a feeling that a hedgehog bites a turtle and has no way to bite it.

Now the geographical position of Ren Di's army and the Ming army in the northeast is like an hourglass, Ren Di is on one side of the hourglass, the northeast is on the other side, the thin neck in the middle of the hourglass is Bohai Bay on the right, and the mountains are on the left. Walking along the Bohai Bay, we waited to be cut off by enemy troops who could land on the coast at any time. However, the route of the march should be as close to the interior as possible, but the mountains on the other side made it impossible for heavy fire to stay far from the interior.

If you want a fleet, you must have a fleet, Ren Di said in a telegram to Zhao Weiguo: "Even if there is a fleet of five destroyers in the Bohai Bay, it can make our enemies dare not easily move arbitrarily in the Bohai Bay, which is of great significance to the army's operations in the Beijing-Tianjin area." ”

As for Zhao Weiguo's reply to Ren Di, it was more direct: "I'm sorry, we don't have the technology to build ships now." "If Zhao Weiguo's current technology tree can barely fight with the Hai Song army in terms of land warfare, but in the navy, it can't be compared with Hai Song at all. When Hai Song's fleet came up, there were fewer detours.

Directly the central axis of the battleship is arranged with turrets, and the main turret is of a unified caliber. The design of the battleship needs to be scientific, how much is the armor of the battleship, how much is the barrel battery, what kind of proportion does the battleship building maintain, it does not affect the stability of the battleship, and the power system of the steam engine is more or less a drink. How to ensure the wave resistance of the ship. This is a system, a system of fire power protection combined with each other. However, it is precisely this ironclad ship technology that Zhao Weiguo did not climb much. However, in the history of naval powers, the warships developed by themselves often started from the small boats and found out the shortcomings in the performance of the small boats, because the ships are small, and the impact of the loopholes is also small. In this way, the loopholes were carefully corrected step by step, and then the ship was expanded step by step, and the holes in the ship's enlarged and obvious vulnerabilities were patched. As for coming up and directly building a fleet. If you deviate from the direction of heavy armor and heavy firepower, it is possible to build a ship that capsizes when it encounters waves at sea, and if you deviate from the speed, it may become a tragedy that is destroyed by others.

Building ships is a systematic science and technology, even if China's industry has been significantly improved in later generations, but if you don't build dozens of aircraft carriers, you can practice the problem. Its own domestically produced aircraft carrier is still a tragedy without reference. The most obvious example, the warped bow in front of the Varyag, which the aircraft carriers of the US imperialists do not have? Why? Because the warped bow in front of the ship under the sea breeze will cause unstable and chaotic air flow in the rear, which will have a great impact on the take-off of fighters. The research in this area is a British and American secret, and there is not even a schematic diagram of the air flow on the Internet.

When Hai Song's sea steel giant appeared in Bohai Bay, it wasn't just Ren Di who had a black line on his head. Zhao Weiguo and Li Ziming, these traversers also had a bad time, their past naval battles were all sail battleships, ironclad ships or anything were iron-hulled wooden ships with small cannons and machine guns to abuse the colonial era opponents of the same period, and there was really no way to really encounter this kind of warship that has matured after ten years of development (5).
