If Ouyang Yun's words were heard by Truman and Koizumi Toshiichiro, these two people would definitely be so angry that they vomited blood. It's so ironic. The Chinese Pacific Fleet is currently overwhelming the US Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Combined Fleet. If its scale is further If it were half, no, one-third more, Truman and Koizumi Toshiichiro would certainly not be able to help but complain: Can they still stand guard together to demonstrate mankind's ownership of the Pacific Ocean?
Chen Shichang's Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet was currently confronting the U.S. Atlantic Fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. After all, they were fighting on home soil. Therefore, although the U.S. Atlantic Fleet suffered heavy losses due to Chen Shichang's calculations at the beginning and was almost destroyed, but Because they were able to receive local support as soon as possible, after paying a considerable price, mainly surrendering control of the Caribbean Sea to the Chinese Navy, the Americans stopped their decline and defended their homeland's offshore defense line in a defensive posture.
This was actually another worry for Truman. Sometimes I thought about it in private. Truman even had the urge to slap himself in the mouth. The reason was very simple. If China had allowed China to transit through Brazil, or if he had not sent more troops to Brazil later, there would have been no cause for concern. Such a big reaction from China, which is better now, has directly caused a sharp decline in the influence of the United States in South America, and it has also involved a lot of financial resources, manpower, and military strength.
South America was originally a land destined to be soy sauce during World War II. Now it is better. Because of the armed intervention of the United States and China, it has directly risen to a wrestling field related to the new world pattern. For Americans, South America is equivalent to their backyard. , Therefore, when China officially sends troops to intervene in the Brazilian coup, unless the Americans are willing to give up their traditional influence in South America, they will inevitably be firmly restrained by a considerable amount of power.
South America has become another wrestling ground between China and the United States after the Pacific. The political positions of South American countries, which were destined to be soy sauce in the great power war, have become strange. This is another harm to the United States. You must know that before this, South America was It is a natural dumping ground for American goods, but now, because similar products are indeed inferior to China in terms of performance and there is no price advantage, plus China has some unique technologies in its hands, these technologies can be controlled. As a result, South American countries first changed from natural allies of the United States to strangers, and then something happened that made the U.S. government even more worried. Under the naked "interest temptation" of the Chinese government, they not only gave up their usual pro-American stance, Moreover, they began to flirt with the Chinese government and the Brazilian government. As a result, Americans began to lose their status as a "sovereign nation" in South America. Americans gradually discovered that South American countries not only began to treat them politically, but also began to treat them politically. The U.S. government has begun to boycott "Made in America", which is naturally something the U.S. government cannot tolerate.
For Truman, life seemed to have never been peaceful since 1946, and when calls for reflection began to appear in the United States, even though he knew that admitting that it was wrong to conclude a secret treaty with Japan would affect his political life, he I can't help but ask myself: Could it be that my original decision was really the wrong choice?
Thanks to the current lack of energy of the Chinese government, it is unable to invest more troops and resources in South America. Therefore, South America is currently limited to chaos. However, after the end of the Pacific War, if there are no other constraints, will the Chinese government be there? There are new moves in South America, which is hard to say.
Truman and his senior advisers obviously realized this, so as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would not abandon the Pacific Fleet and would allow the Pacific War to continue.
It is in line with China's interests and layout to keep chaos in the American backyard. Therefore, even though he hopes that more maritime power can be used in the Pacific War at this time, Ouyang Yun can only sigh with emotion. However, he did not expect that Yes, when comprehensively considering the current situation in the Pacific, he actually missed one point.
Huang Tianxun's raiding fleet.
Ouyang Yun has not made this mistake twice. Looking back, it seems that the scale of the raid fleet is too small and it does not seem to be a decisive force. Therefore, even if he just powered on to commend the raid fleet not long ago, at the critical moment , or this heroic unit was forgotten.
Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi also made the same mistake. Even Bai Chongxi, who is known as the one with the best strategy, made this mistake. From this, it is not difficult to imagine that in taking advantage of the victory to attack the US Pacific Fleet, the role of small combat units such as the raid fleet was The effect seems to be very limited.
Is this really the case?
No matter what others think, Huang Tianxun has his own opinions.
After the raid fleet showed off in Guam, it suffered further damage. At this time, it had only sixteen ships under its control. Moreover, the missile boats among them had actually been reduced to reconnaissance ships because they had no missile supplies and no longer had the capabilities. Ability to attack large ships.
"It seems that we have been forgotten by the Commander-in-Chief and others." Huang Tianxun said to several of his captains when he received another routine notification from the Pacific Fleet Command instead of a telex order.
"The Americans are preparing to withdraw eastward. This is a bad thing. It seems that this Li Mei is smarter than that Jin."
"It's not that easy. Taiwan and Ryukyu are both under the control of our army. Moreover, don't forget that it is General Bai Liusu who is commanding the attack on the Japanese mainland."
"But they are not strong enough to deal with the ocean-going navy of the US Pacific Fleet."
"Lu Hang, have you forgotten 'sink it'?"
"Americans are not as stupid as the Japanese."
"It's hard to say. By the way, we have nothing to do anyway, so how about joining in the fun."
"Head, we have no missiles anymore."
"But we still have torpedoes."
"That's right. Tou is right. I have nothing to do anyway. I just hope I don't encounter a typhoon."
Huang Tianxun and the others were discussing to join in the fun, but fortunately, the Americans came to Guam. In addition, Luo Chunjian received an order from Tie Linfei to prepare for the transfer of the golden eagle cluster, and the Supreme Command would dispatch air It is no secret that the fortress cluster can deal with the US Pacific Fleet.
At that time, Huang Tianxun convened a meeting with his captains and believed that the opportunity had come: "Since the Supreme Command is preparing to use land aviation to pursue the Americans from a long distance, it is conceivable that once our air fortress cluster appears over the US fleet, it will definitely attract With the attention of Americans, we will fish in troubled waters."
The golden eagle group set off first, and it only took three and a half hours to arrive at Guam. When they landed in Guam for fuel replenishment, Huang Tianxun led his few torpedo boats to set off first. So, when they sailed to the distance When the U.S. fleet was about 150 kilometers away, the golden eagles that had been replenished overtook them and first launched a tentative attack on the U.S. fleet.
