The Pacific Fleet will grow in the Indian Ocean. This is something that no one expected. For Americans, whenever they hear new information about the Pacific Fleet, they will feel sour, astringent and even regretful.
.This is because looking at the warships in the Pacific Fleet, nearly half of them are actually from the United States, and the military and technology exchanged by these warships have not changed the Australian war situation as expected. This makes the more extreme Americans inevitably feel deceived.
Feeling. What is frustrating is that because the frontline troops are not living up to expectations, the Americans' reliance on the cadet army has not decreased but has increased. This means that the United States will send more warships to the Pacific Fleet.
George had a close personal relationship with Ouyang Yun, and he himself relied on the Xuebing Army to reach his current position, so he was happy to see the Xuebing Army getting stronger and stronger. However, the United States was his motherland after all, so even though he knew everything
He couldn't do anything, but he still tried his best to persuade, hoping that Ouyang Yun could increase the size of the army to aid Australia. At the worst, he should dispatch the main force of the Pacific Fleet to prevent the Pacific Ocean from being monopolized by the Japanese army: "General, you should be able to see that our ocean-going navy
Once it is outnumbered by the Japanese combined fleet several times, then your Pacific Fleet will definitely become the next target. For the long term, I think that even if your army cannot increase the size of the Australian reinforcements, it should still send the main force of the Pacific Fleet to participate in the war..."
"No, no, George, you are wrong, not to mention that our Pacific Fleet is still just a toddler - this seems to be a sentence that Admiral Kim often talks about. Even if they have the capabilities of the Combined Fleet
We have the ability to fight, but we have no interest entanglements with Japan in the Pacific. George, you should be able to see that my main focus now and the direction of our military's operations are within the country, not abroad."
Ouyang Yun's establishment of an ocean-going fleet is naturally for ocean-going interests. However, for now, the ocean-going interests of the Xuebing Army are only along the coast of Taiwan and the coasts of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiong. These coastal areas used to be the Xuebing Army's lack of naval power.
However, since the torpedo boat force and submarine force formed a large scale, supplemented by powerful air control capabilities, the Japanese have long been afraid to get involved. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Pacific Fleet and the Combined Fleet. This is
Sure, but the battlefield will not be in the Pacific, but in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea. The above are the reasons Ouyang Yun announced to stand out when he formed the ocean fleet, but this does not mean that he is not jealous of the pearl-like islands in the Pacific.
Otherwise, why did he use the name "Pacific Fleet" alone? Speaking of which, these islands are closer to China than the United States. The strategic significance for the two countries is almost the same, but who said China was industrialized in the past?
The revolution has lagged behind. Even when the Western powers used strong ships and cannons to encircle the islands in the Pacific, China was still closed to the outside world, and then missed step by step, thus losing the opportunity to fight for these islands.
When Ouyang Yun was studying the Pacific war situation in private with Li Tieshu, Ji Xing and others, several people mentioned the possibility of learning from the Pacific Fleet to expedition to the Pacific. The Xuebing Army has the current scale, and as the senior leaders of the Xuebing Army, they have
I thought so about this qualification. Of course, because it involved too many interests, several people discussed it and thought that it was possible to make wedding dresses for others, so they unanimously agreed that even if they wanted to go to the Pacific, the time was far from mature.
.
That was when the Pacific Fleet first took shape. So now, is the time mature? Ouyang Yun personally thinks it is not yet mature. Because the U.S. Pacific Fleet still maintains considerable combat power, the Pacific Fleet has joined the battlefield at this time.
, the most likely thing is to become the cannon fodder of the Americans and help the Americans consume the strength of the Japanese Combined Fleet. In his mind, the best time to imitate the Pacific Fleet and enter the Pacific is when the Japanese Combined Fleet completely defeats the US Pacific Fleet, and the Allies have completely lost the Pacific Ocean.
At that time, the Americans were worried that Hawaii would be attacked and the homeland would be threatened, and they would definitely be willing to have the Xuebing Army come forward to help them contain the Japanese offensive. At that time, the Xuebing Army took advantage of the situation and proposed to take over several islands as supplies.
The base is a matter of course.
George actually expected this result before he came, and because of his understanding of Ouyang Yun, he once suggested to Roosevelt that he could give up several islands that had been occupied by the Japanese to lure the student army to send troops to the Pacific. Roosevelt did not
After considering it, he rejected his suggestion. Roosevelt knew very well that if he really did this, the United States would bid farewell to the political stage in the Far East. This loss is simply unbearable by the U.S. government. War always serves politics, and political gains
What is not available can be forced through war. On the other hand, if political interests are given up without going through a war, this can only show the incompetence or even stupidity of those in power. Roosevelt, who single-handedly led the United States into an economic recession, would be stupid.
People? The answer is definitely no.
Chatty negotiations between George and Ouyang Yun were conducted intermittently no less than ten times, lasting nearly four months. In the summer of this year, new changes occurred in the Australian battlefield and the Pacific battlefield, and something happened in Canada.
It was such a big event that Ouyang Yun was forced to march westward into Chongqing, and the negotiations between them stopped.
Australia, the Eastern Front battlefield, the Japanese army and the US-Australia coalition forces invested a total of 500,000 troops in the Gold Coast decisive battle. In this battle, the Japanese army annihilated nearly 100,000 US-Australia coalition forces with more than 60,000 casualties, and in the first battle
A total of eleven main ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were sunk in the Second Battle of the Coral Sea. After the battle, Australia not only lost Brisbane, its third largest city, but the U.S.-Australian coalition also lost its largest naval base in Australia.
Since then, the U.S.-Australian coalition forces were no longer able to compete with the Japanese army. They had to abandon some lower cities in the southeast and retreat to the south and southwest. They had to enter a full-scale defense from the confrontation.
In the Pacific, the Japanese Army's first formation of Mount Fuji super fighter jets launched an air raid on Hawaii. Although the US military's material losses in this air raid were not large, it caused panic among the American people. Americans were worried that their homeland would be bombed by such super fighters.
, many cities on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean experienced a wave of refugees.
What major events happened in the country? This is naturally related to the Qinling Operation launched by the Japanese army. It turned out that after Nanjing was liberated by the student army, the Japanese unexpectedly decided to capture Chongqing as the new capital of the puppet Nanjing government. High-level officials of the puppet Nanjing government came one after another.
After entering Sichuan and Shaanxi, many front-line troops surrendered. Chiang Kai-shek killed a group of generals who surrendered before the battle, but it did not help. He had to compromise with the Xuebing Army and agreed to form a coalition government in exchange for the Xuebing Army entering Chongqing.
