The Army faction refutes the Navy's view on the grounds that the supply line is too long and cannot carry out landing operations at all. They believe that they should first rely on the support of the Army and the Western Continent allies such as the Nantes Empire to attack the Allied Powers group from land, and wait until there is an agreement with NATO
It is safer to move to the land border and then launch an attack on the NATO group from the western continent.
The Navy believes that if the NATO alliance intervenes when the war between itself and the Allies is in full swing, it will be very passive. The Army believes that it will take several years to expand armaments, especially the Navy's shipbuilding, which takes too long.
Long enough for our own side to destroy the Allies.
The debate between the navy and the army is actually the question of which service should be the main one. If you attack NATO from the Eastern Ocean first, the navy will naturally be the main one. If you attack the Allies first, the army will be the main one.
Once the direction of attack is determined, military expenditures in the next few years will naturally be tilted towards which major service. Therefore, the dispute over the direction of attack between the two services is actually a battle for the share of military expenditures.
Among the various allies outside the Boston Empire, they all look to their own interests. The Nantes Empire is afraid that the war against the Allies will spread to the country, so it is naturally willing to attack NATO first. The Saar Empire, an island country, naturally wants to intervene in the affairs of the Western Continent as soon as possible.
Highly recommend the advantages of attacking the Allies first.
Both sides held their own opinions on the direction of the attack. The army and navy representatives of various countries had quarrels and small meetings, and they kept arguing. However, they had no say no matter how much they quarreled. The real decision-maker was the Imperial Government in Boston.
Out of their own considerations, the Boston government hoped to first eliminate the St. Martin's Empire, which had land connections with itself, so they implicitly supported the navy's plan. With the support of the Boston government, the navy's plan gradually gained the upper hand, and even some of the army
The generals also began to consider the possibility of landing on the Eastern Continent.
Because of Le Cheng's existence, Fang Ruijun learned about this secret debate within the Axis Powers from the very beginning. When he learned that the Axis Powers had the intention to solve NATO first, he was really frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Originally, the Chinese Empire allowed the Axis Powers to develop their power in the Western Continent in order to lead the war to the Allied Powers first. This would not only consume the Axis Powers' strength, but also buy time for itself to develop its armaments. But now he found that he
There is a suspicion that he shot himself in the foot.
In order to prevent the other party from making his own plans for the time being, Fang Ruijun summoned Lin Feng and other cabinet members, as well as Zhang Haiyang and other senior military officials. After discussion, they decided to defeat the Axis powers by demonstrating their military power.
The scruples made them dare not attack NATO easily.
A few days later, Qian Guilin, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, summoned the Ambassador of the Boston Empire. He first informed the Boston Empire that the NATO group would conduct naval exercises on the high seas east of the Oahu Islands this year. In addition, he also stated that in order to enhance the two
It hopes to send a naval fleet to San Diego, the home port of Boston's Imperial Eastern Ocean Fleet, after the military exercise.
Although they didn't know what medicine Fang Ruijun bought in his gourd, the Boston Imperial Government gladly accepted the other party's request for a visit. After all, it was good to find out what the other party was saying before starting a war.
After notifying the Boston Empire, the Joint Command sent a telegram to the Navy and various allies. A battle fleet and aircraft carrier formation of the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire, led by Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Li Weiguo, will go to the Oahu Islands for military exercises.
.
Regarding this military exercise, the Chinese Empire has secretly notified all the allies, asking them to send the most powerful fleet lineup to participate in this military exercise. At the request of the Chinese Empire, the main navies of various countries have come out in full force. The Saint Martin Empire, the Latin Kingdom,
Various countries such as the Istanbul Empire dispatched all their main naval forces, and even the newly restored Cossack Empire dispatched only three cruisers, passing through the canal of the St. Martin Empire and entering the Eastern Ocean to participate in military exercises.
The lineup of the military exercise is extremely strong, with a total of six Governor-class aircraft carriers, three General-class aircraft carriers, 12 Zhili-class battleships, eight Shannan-class battleships, and a large number of cruisers and destroyers participating in the exercise.
The Chinese Empire still had reservations about this exercise. The Nanming-class aircraft carrier did not show up, and only ten Hongyuan-class cruisers came. The Meishan-class cruisers carrying missiles had too much sensitive equipment and did not participate in the military exercise. However, the military still
Two Wasp-class amphibious assault ships with a displacement of 50,000 tons were dispatched as the fleet's anti-submarine force.
The Chinese Empire has always been at the vanguard of military reforms, so after the news spread that the Chinese Empire was about to conduct naval military exercises with its allies, all countries applied to go and observe them. Naturally, the Chinese Empire, which wanted to frighten the Axis Powers, all agreed and let them
Take a special visiting airship to observe in the nearby airspace.
The China Consortium has never stopped developing airships. Originally, these airships were mainly used as warning airships to save fuel and stay in the air for a long time. However, during the study, scientific researchers found that after completely solving the hazards of high-altitude airflow to airships,
The advantages of airships with low energy consumption and high load capacity have emerged. For long-distance transportation that does not require transportation speed, the cost is surprisingly low. Therefore, airships have been used again in some areas within the Chinese Empire where ground transportation is inconvenient.
For airships, a means of transportation that had been eliminated in the Western Continent, the Chinese Empire was using them extensively, which aroused the curiosity of representatives from various countries. When they approached this huge airship, they discovered that the new airship was different from the one they had used before.
slidely different.
In the past, the airships used by various countries were long and cigar-shaped, and the airbag surface was quite smooth and flat. However, the shape of the new airship of the Chinese Empire is a bit strange. The shape of this new airship is roughly the same as before, except that it has a large number of airbag compartments inside.
There is a compartment outside, which is divided into dozens of layers for personnel to enter. The inner layer of the compartment is an air bag, and personnel can inspect and maintain the air bag in the compartment. The outside is made of aluminum alloy plates.
Frame and armor use.
What is even more peculiar is that outside the aluminum alloy frame, there are six long airbag groups. The six airbags are arranged in a direction, extending from the head of the airbag to the tail, evenly distributed around the airship, with their
It can greatly stabilize the state of the airship in the air.
If there is a cross wind blowing from the side to the air bag, the air flow will flow along the direction of the air bag group toward the bow and stern of the boat. At the same time, because of the grooves between the air bag groups, the air flow is forced in three directions, so that it can effectively
It prevents the airbag from rolling over and ensures the safety of people inside the airship.
