"Okay, having said all that, I just want to explain one thing. At least until now, our scientific research department has insured our final victory in this world war."
Speaking of this, An Yi changed the topic:
"However, having this kind of killer weapon does not mean that our next war will be much easier. I tell you clearly that weapons such as hydrogen bombs that can determine the direction and outcome of the war cannot be put into actual combat for the time being. If at this time
We can't wait to use it. The result will inevitably be that the war will end and the countries will conduct peaceful negotiations based on the existing structure, or the Axis Powers and the Allies will join hands to fight us. I have not yet dismissed everyone who opposes us.
Be mentally prepared to kill them all!”
An Yi's words caused a burst of laughter in the conference room.
An Yi added: "Let me tell you another piece of good news: Our scientific research department is rushing to install the hydrogen warhead on the rocket. It is expected that it can be launched remotely through the rocket early next year to carry out precise strikes against targets 12,000 kilometers away.
, this carrier is the F5 intercontinental surface-to-surface missile that has just been equipped with the Second Artillery Force...Old Shi, please introduce this country's sharp weapon to the brothers!"
"yes!"
Second Artillery Commander General Shi Junren stood up proudly and said loudly: "The F5 intercontinental surface-to-surface missile basically uses the technology of the Saturn V launch vehicle. The missile is 32 meters long, the first stage is 20 meters long, and the second stage is 20 meters long.
It is 7 meters long, has a warhead and accessories of 5 meters, a diameter of 3.25 meters, a weight of 180 tons, and can carry a warhead of up to 3.5 tons. It can hit targets 12,000 kilometers away with a maximum error of 500 meters.
"Such strike accuracy determines that this missile can only carry nuclear warheads to pose a threat to specific targets. Currently, the most powerful nuclear warheads carried by our F3, F4 and F5 missiles are only atomic bombs with a yield of about 20,000 tons.
...After watching the audio and video information just now, I predict that once a more powerful hydrogen warhead is installed, a large city hundreds of kilometers away may be wiped out by the attack of this new type of nuclear bomb!"
As Shi Junren sat down, An Yi said: "Our scientists have basically figured out the direction of miniaturization of hydrogen bombs through research on nuclear reactors and atomic bomb miniaturization, but the power of hydrogen bombs is too great. Even if anything happens
We cannot afford accidents, so we must go through rigorous reasoning and verification to be 100% sure before we can install a miniaturized hydrogen warhead on a rocket.
"Okay. I show you this before the meeting because I want to encourage the brothers. Our journey is across the stars and the sea, and it is far from the end. In front of us, the Japanese army is still entrenched in the Lanyin Islands, Luzon Islands and
The people of Australia, Taiwan and Ryukyu are still waiting for us to liberate them. Our wish to sweep across the Japanese archipelago has not yet been fulfilled. We will never stop moving forward. Any slackness on our part at this time is a crime against the country and the nation!"
An Yi turned to Yang Fei: "Chief of Staff, please briefly introduce the situation we are facing!"
"yes!"
Yang Fei stood up. He walked to a large world map, took the baton from the staff officer next to him, and pointed at the map: "In the direction of the Central Pacific, after the Japanese army captured New Caledonia, with the cooperation of its superior navy,
, successively captured the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu Islands, Line Islands and Fiji Islands.
"With the Japanese navy and army advancing hand in hand, the U.S. Pacific Fleet headquartered in American Samoa had to be split into two, with the main force withdrawing to the Atlantic Ocean. The Seventh Fleet, which had been reorganized after the fiasco in the Fiji Sea, returned to the ports of Wellington and Auckland
, cooperating with MacArthur to defend New Zealand and Tasmania. Under this situation, the Japanese army and navy basically brought the entire Central Pacific Islands under control in late June.
"Of course, the Americans' initiative to give up is not without benefits. At least after the Third Fleet, the Fifth Fleet, and the Ninth Fleet retreated to the Atlantic Ocean, the strength of the U.S. Navy has been integrated into a powerful strategic decisive force. Once this force is used
In Europe, the Mediterranean hegemony that the Italian Navy has maintained for many years will be seriously challenged."
After Yang Fei finished speaking, he returned to his seat. Deng Bin took the initiative to stand up and make additional explanations: "Originally, according to the requirements of the Cairo Conference, the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by the Nationalist Government was supposed to drive to the ports of the subcontinent and southern Myanmar in February and March of this year, and install equipment.
The ship then headed for Tasmania and New Zealand under the cover of the US fleet. However, the changes in the North American war situation greatly exceeded Washington's expectations.
"As the Japanese army launched a devastating offensive on the north shore of the Great Lakes in eastern Canada, the defense of the northeastern United States also had huge loopholes. They needed the navy to cooperate with the army. At least until the war situation was unclear, the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet could not
Leaving the mainland of the United States to serve as an escort mission in the Indian Ocean. Under such circumstances, the resolutions of the Cairo Conference naturally cannot be implemented.
"In addition, the war situation in North Africa was far beyond the expectations of Churchill and Roosevelt. Faced with the defeat in the Battle of Benghazi and the fall of Tunisia, Rommel's Afrika Korps was like a tiger that preyed on people and could devour them at any time.
It might tear the Allied defense lines to pieces in Northwest Africa.
"Faced with the bleak situation, Churchill's old strategy of putting Europe first and Asia second was repeated. Even General Eisenhower, commander-in-chief of the British-American Expeditionary Force, hoped that the integrated U.S. Navy would temporarily abandon the Pacific battlefield and devote all its energy to the European continent.
, defeat Germany and Italy first, and then cause trouble for the Japanese army.
"After repeated high-level consultations between the United Kingdom and the United States, Roosevelt and Churchill communicated all night in the White House and finally reached an agreement to temporarily abandon the Pacific Theater. The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff also believed that under the current circumstances, it is appropriate to first concentrate naval power on the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
best option while the Army focuses on North American operations."
"Does this mean that the US military will abandon New Zealand and Tasmania?" Admiral Yang Jiuxiao, commander of the Northeast Military Region, asked sensitively.
"Let me explain this!"
An Yi saw everyone's ears pricked up and said with a smile: "When I was in Khabarovsk, I received a call from President Roosevelt. He hoped that Chairman Chiang and I could take over the Pacific battlefield...at the latest by the end of September, the U.S. military will
Withdraw troops from New Zealand and Tasmania!”
"ah!"
The whole place was in an uproar. Zhang Chengzhu asked puzzledly: "Churchill is so stubborn, will he allow us to enter Tasmania and New Zealand? Previously, the Prime Minister refused to allow us to enter the Australian battlefield!"
"Roosevelt didn't explain this to me. But I can basically guess Churchill's mentality at this time!"
An Yi glanced at the generals and said: "The war in Canada gave Churchill a great stimulus. Under the crazy attack of the Japanese army, Canada's nearly one million troops were unable to parry and allowed the Japanese army to come to the north shore of the Great Lakes.
Go freely. This made Churchill realize that little Japan is not as easy to fight as imagined! Instead of shedding the blood of British and Americans, it would be easier to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, and wait until the results are known before seeking benefits.
"In addition. It is said that Japan has robbed a large amount of gold and securities from Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. Churchill urgently needs the US military to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Japanese in North America on the mainland and regain the lost property as soon as possible, and from New Zealand and Tasmania
Moving troops to the island is the best choice. After all, MacArthur now has a total of 25 divisions in the First Army, the Eleventh Army and the Third Amphibious Army, plus two Australian divisions and two British armored brigades.
Once this force is deployed on the North American battlefield, it can definitely play a decisive role."
Yin Jinan thoughtfully said: "To recover the stolen property, we must use our troops quickly and block the way for the Japanese troops in Canada to escape eastward. The choice of where to march from is very critical."
"Isn't it difficult to judge?"
After obtaining An Yi's consent, Zhao Dongquan stood up and came to the map, using his baton to hit the southwest United States: "The best march route is to follow the border between the United States and Mexico, and go straight into San Diego and Los Angeles regardless of the situation."
, and then with the cooperation of the air force and paratroopers, they would move north along the coastal railways and highways. As long as they blocked the seaports of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, the Japanese army would become a turtle in the jar."
After saying that, Zhao Dongquan saluted An Yi with a military salute and returned to his seat to sit down.
The generals thought about it carefully and felt that Zhao Dongquan's analysis was reasonable.
"Relatively speaking, this march route is the shortest, so Americans may not really make such a choice!"
Ye Cheng said: "But in my opinion, the plan sounds wonderful, but there are still some doubts about whether it can achieve its goal. The opponents of those rookie generals in the United States are Okamura Neiji, Kawabe Shozo, Yamashita Fumikazu
Generals like Doihara Kenji, who are well-known in the Japanese military circles, have learned many of our tactics in their continuous battles with us. It is very difficult for the Americans to achieve a breakthrough in the central mountainous area in a short period of time.
Big!"
"Leave the Americans alone!"
Seeing that the meeting was off topic, An Yi quickly said hello: "As for how they fight the Japanese, that is a matter for the North American battlefield. It should be left to Leahy and Marshall to worry about... Anyway, I have already given instructions to Lin Xudong and Ma Zhiyuan.
The U.S. and Chinese forces, which have been fighting continuously so far, should focus on rest and recuperation, and must not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly...
"Now let's turn our attention to the Pacific battlefield! I never thought before that the US military would withdraw from the Asia-Pacific region. As a result, we will have very little time to change our combat plan! Liu Qing, introduce the Japanese army
Deployment of troops!"
"OK!"
General Liu Qing, the intelligence chief of the General Staff, stood up, without turning over the file in his hand, and immediately started talking: "After six consecutive years of recruitment, the Japanese army's manpower resources have been almost exhausted, and there is no possibility of further expansion. The Japanese army has lost every division.
The group will break your muscles and bones!
"So far, the Japanese army has been organized into six major combat groups: the Island Defense Force, the Southern Army, the Australian Army, the Pacific Army, the North American Army and the South American Army. Among them, the Island Defense Army has fifty-three divisions, and the Southern Army has
There are thirty divisions, and the Pacific Army has twenty-three divisions. Although these three major combat groups have many brave and tenacious veteran first-class divisions, they are much inferior to the Australian Army, the North American Army, and the South American Army.
"The North American Army and the South American Army are out of reach for the time being. I will now focus on the Australian Army. The leader of this army is our old rival General Ishikawa Koichi, a member of the Japanese royal family. His style is to fight bravely and be good at using cunning tactics, but previously
Facing Tasmania and New Zealand, which were defended by the US military, they failed to capture them for several consecutive years. This shows that this person is not very good at landing warfare!
"The Australian Army has ten corps, a total of 41 divisions and 13 independent infantry brigades, including 11 armored divisions whose weapons and equipment are second to none in the Japanese army. After several years of construction, the Japanese army has
In Southeast Asia, Allied prisoners of war captured in India and Australia, as well as Indian, Southeast Asian and other indigenous people, built railways and roads around the sea, and built tight coastal defenses at important locations.
"In this way, the Japanese army can mobilize its forces in a timely manner and form a local strength advantage at any location within 24 hours!"
