"The Americans have the Pacific Fleet again." Song Ziwen asked strangely.
Song Ziwen's question was a bit strange, but I don't blame him. Counting the Battle of Guam, this was the third time that the American Pacific Fleet had been completely destroyed. Repeated defeats are indeed a virtue. However, Because every reconstruction of the Pacific Ocean means that the U.S. government must pay nearly tens of billions of dollars, which makes Song Ziwen, who has a certain understanding of the United States, can't help but wonder: First, do Americans still have the strength? Second, the United States How could the Senate and the Senate allow Truman's prodigal behavior? Will the reconstruction of the Pacific Fleet be effective?
When China's Pacific Fleet was first formed, even Song Ziwen was not optimistic about his own dark blue navy. However, looking back, there were indeed thrilling moments along the way, but compared with the American Pacific Fleet, its fate was much better. It's like watching a plug-in. In the past, laymen like Song Ziwen might not be optimistic about their own Pacific Fleet, but now, after witnessing one miracle after another created by their own fleet, they are no longer interested in the Americans reorganizing the Pacific Fleet. , he no longer took it seriously. In his opinion, the worst he could do was to wipe out the entire army of the Americans. Anyway, the Americans seemed to have a lot of money.
"Both the number of ships and personnel are much smaller. However, I heard that the Americans are equipped with a brand-new jet fighter whose performance parameters are similar to our latest Golden Eagle." Mu Jiandie continued. road.
"Whether it is the Palau Islands, Guam, or Midway Island, it is related to our third island chain defense circle, and there must be no room for failure. The Americans have become smarter this time and do not dare to challenge us across the Pacific. If you want to rely on the Philippines to take Palau first, sir, my suggestion is that after reorganizing the surrendered National Independence Army, immediately order the Central Third Army and the Sixth Army to advance eastward, without giving the Americans and Japanese a chance to do anything. It's a pity that we no longer have troops stationed in Australia. Otherwise, we could directly send troops to Australia, which would save a lot of trouble." Deng Xihou said, looking at the world map behind Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun was silent. Regarding the reorganization of the surrendered National Independence Army, he was not worried. After all, under the framework of the coalition government, the national-level military construction system has been perfected. When it comes to the reorganization of prisoners of war, the Supreme Command only needs to grasp Stay in the general direction and pass on the orders. Gu Zhutong and the others have rules to follow and can proceed in an orderly manner. The United States wants to attack Palau. It seems that it has learned a lesson from the second Pacific War and knows that it is not necessary to rashly start a full-scale war with China. Wisely, this is to take advantage of the renewed war in the Far East to gain dividends on one-sided battlefields. As Deng Xihou said, Palau is related to the defense circle of the third island chain of the mainland, and there must be no room for error... The position of the buttocks determines Now, Ouyang Yun must stand at the highest point when looking at any issue related to the war. A large number of scenes flashed through his mind. He asked Mu Jiandie: "The European Branch once reported that the British were under attack." Are there any latest news on preparations for the establishment of a European anti-China coalition?"
Mu Jiandie touched his nose and said: "The latest news came back on the 26th of last month. It is said that the British have assembled about 50,000 troops, including troops from Italy, France and other countries, and are currently undergoing training. "
Deng Xihou asked: "Training."
"Yes."
Deng Xihou looked at Ouyang Yun and said with a smile: "The United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and Japan, the British have the lowest combat power. If the British form an expeditionary force by themselves, I would still be looking forward to it, but what kind of European coalition they are planning, haha, I don’t think there is anything to worry about. The British’s plan to create a European coalition shows that they lack courage.”
"France, is it the French Pétain government? Angbois's Nationalist Army has not been able to fight back. It has taken too long. How will they solve the supply problem now?" Song Ziwen looked at Ouyang Yun and asked.
The problem of the French Restoration Army was originally a skill of Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun originally expected that this army would be able to stand out and fight back to France with lightning speed, and then become China's most powerful ally overseas. However, According to the latest information he has, the French Restoration Army is still blocked in Poland. It is not known what year this restoration happened. The master has become an idler. Naturally, Ouyang Yun is in a very depressed mood. It is better that Song Ziwen does not mention it. , as soon as he mentioned it, his mood immediately deteriorated, because he thought again of Guderian, the father of German tanks for whom he had high hopes. The current situation was not too good. After pondering for a while, he said: " The British and European coalition forces will ignore him for the time being. Since the British want to train, there can be no major war in Indochina for the time being. Huh, the Americans want Palau, so we will attack them as the leading birds. In this way, tomorrow I sent an order to Gu Zhutong, asking him to be responsible for reorganizing the National Independence Army prisoners of war in the name of commander-in-chief. After the reorganization was completed, we would use them as the vanguard to completely capture Sumatra first. If the Americans wanted to attack Palau, the Japanese would definitely We are happy to see the results, but Sumatra is their oil base, and they certainly cannot remain indifferent. As long as the Japanese cannot fully support the United States, with the Pacific Fleet alone, we can make the Americans suffer another defeat. The situation in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, I am currently I’m really not worried, I’m more worried about the Far East.”
After the bloody incident at Lake Baikal, the Soviet Russian army did not immediately launch a large-scale attack. The reason for this is probably because Stalin did not want to be the first person to attract the attention of China. However, although the Soviet Russians did not make any major moves for the time being, Ouyang Yun did. He is not prepared to let it go easily. This is the first time such a thing has happened since the establishment of the coalition government. Based on this alone, it is impossible for him to ignore the provocation of the Soviet Russians. Otherwise, what will the coalition government and the previous central government do? The difference is, why did Ouyang Yun spend all his efforts to build a strong army like the Xuebing Army? Not to mention that China is currently the host country of the United Nations. If it doesn't act tougher on this matter, how can it convince the public?
He thought that the Soviet Russians would immediately launch a major offensive, so the early layout of the Far East was mainly defensive. But now, after discovering that the Soviet Russians did not seem to be ready to launch a large-scale attack in the Far East, Ouyang Yun decided to strike preemptively. , first of all to break the current deadlock in the Far East.
"Even if there was no bloodshed at Lake Baikal, for the long-term stability of the Far East, there would have to be a war between us and the Soviet Union sooner or later. Instead of waiting for the Soviet Russians to take advantage of the situation when a full-scale war breaks out in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, it is better to preemptively strike now," Ouyang Yun said. , eyes narrowed,
