In order for China to send troops to Europe, the prerequisite is that Germany faces defeat. But Truman knew that despite the fact that the Soviet Russians are now aggressive and have a good start, it is simply unrealistic for the Soviet Union to defeat Germany alone, even in the world. Within the scope, the German Army is also one of the behemoths. Not to mention, the countries that Germany once occupied more or less have servant armies that have fought side by side with the Germans. I don’t know if they are Ouyang Yun and Koizumi. Toshiichiro's double butterfly effect worked. The fact is that after Hitler's death, many European countries that had suffered German aggression and were natural allies in the eyes of the United States and Britain did not immediately stand up and take a clear-cut stand as Truman and Churchill had hoped. The counterattack against Germany was the fundamental reason why Germany was still able to dominate the European continent after Hitler's death and formed two camps to fight the civil war. Before the Soviet Union counterattacked Europe, the Germans had no enemies in Europe at all. Therefore, The Nazi Party and the Wehrmacht would only fight because of their different political ideas. For example, now, the Soviet Union has just captured Belarus and Ukraine, and the two German camps, which were originally sharply opposed, immediately settled their differences and stood together.
The Soviet Union alone could not defeat Germany, but with the United States and Britain, at least in Truman's view, the answer was yes. As for why it wanted to attack Germany, in Truman's view, the reasons were quite sufficient, "Germany has Second only to the heavy industry of the United States, and it is undeniable that in some technologies, the Germans are even ahead of us. Hitler's dictatorship has accumulated a large amount of wealth and industrial raw materials for Germany. These are what the United States now has. It is urgently needed. Here I can guarantee that as long as it can occupy Germany, even if it shares German wealth equally with Soviet Russia, the United States will be able to obtain enough benefits from it. Not only can it change the domestic economic depression caused by the war in one fell swoop, but it can also gain some core technology, so that the United States can continue to maintain its position as a leader in industrial technology in the world... I have no doubts about President Roosevelt's intentions, but what I have to say is that judging from the current international situation, the White House's positioning of strength in World War II was wrong. Yes, at the beginning, we should not have been too involved in the Pacific battlefield, but should have decisively sent troops to Europe..."
Compared with that time and space, perhaps because the national situation in the United States is much worse, Truman needs to have better eloquence. Therefore, regardless of his ability to govern, at least his eloquence has made great progress in this time and space. Yu often had astonishing long speeches, and therefore left mixed reviews in later generations.
In the Pacific region, the United States has so far invested more than 500,000 troops. In addition, according to the plan, it will invest nearly 200,000 troops in the next three months, thus ensuring that it can maintain its strength even when the navy is relatively weak. Defend the Philippines and Australia, and have the ability to march towards Taiwan.
Before the Palau Islands could be taken, the Americans set their sights on Taiwan. If Ouyang Yun knew the Americans' plan, I don't know what he would think. According to the personality of the young officer, he would probably hold a cigarette in his mouth. , after blowing out a smoke ring, he said contemptuously: "Wishful thinking."
According to the intelligence Kong Lingyi sent back from Washington, the Chinese Supreme Command knew that the United States, Japan, and Britain were planning a large-scale counterattack. However, because there was no more specific information, the Supreme Command could only guess its main attack based on the military deployment of the United States, Japan, and Britain. direction, and most people in the Supreme Command, including Ouyang Yun, believe that NATO's main attack direction will be the Malay Peninsula.
Because of such speculation, the Supreme Command detached an armored group from the Liaoning Military Region to the Indochina Peninsula and appointed Wang Changyun as commander, asking him to lead the armored group to conduct adaptive training in Vietnam for at least one month.
"There is no doubt that a new round of world war has broken out. What we are not sure about now is what scale this world war will reach and whether it will spread around the world like the World War II that just ended. If so, In this case, what we have to worry about is that the earth may completely lose peace from now on..." This passage comes from Chinese journalist Simon. As a Jewish Chinese, Simon's life trajectory in this time and space is completely different from that time and space. In In that time and space, he finally became an American and was shot dead by the Egyptian guerrillas during the Suez War. However, in this time and space, he became Chinese, and it should be impossible for him to appear in Egypt.
Simon's photography talent has already emerged at this time. What is different from that time and space is that in this time and space, his photography subjects are much wider. Moreover, because the Xuebing Research and Development Institute has developed a color camera with superior performance, he I was able to further develop my photography talents and took many popular works.
The new world war is how the Chinese Supreme Command defines the upcoming new round of all-out war. As an army photojournalist, Simon's ability to have such foresight fully illustrates how sharp his political insight is. .
Germany lacks an ocean-going navy (not long after the start of World War II, Germany's not-so-powerful ocean-going navy was defeated by the United Kingdom), so the weapons and equipment purchased from China can only be transported by the Chinese government. Fortunately, China's Pacific Fleet was originally intended to ship to The French Nationalist Army intended to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to transport supplies, and it was just a way to meet the Germans' request.
On August 19, at the Haikou Naval Base, Falkenhausen and his party ended their visit to China and returned to Europe aboard the aircraft carrier of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the aircraft carrier "Mutoutenwang". The aircraft carrier fleet was named to transport supplies to the French Nationalist Army. , but considering the complex situation in Europe, in order to be able to cope with possible battles, Ouyang Yun issued an order in the name of the Supreme Command, instructing the Ministry of National Defense to equip the Wu Dao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet with a sufficient number of aircraft carriers and auxiliary ships, making Wu Dao The number of aircraft carriers in the Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet suddenly reached six, and the number of escort ships reached 58.
There are six aircraft carriers, including the Tang Gaozong and Ming Taizong, which have just entered active service. These two aircraft carriers were completely designed and manufactured by the Chinese themselves (Lu Hanni is now of course counted as a Chinese). Their biggest feature is their modern shape, that is, The appearance is almost identical to that of later aircraft carriers. This design, which is contrary to today's aircraft carrier layout concepts, was questioned by many "experts" when it first came out. However, after completing the sea trials, it showed excellent seaworthiness and practicality. , these doubts turned into praises, so much so that during the first batch of national academician nominations a year ago, some people called on the National Academy of Engineering to make an exception and admit Lu Hanni as an academician, thereby openly flattering Ouyang Yun.
