Yan Bing, commander of the Imperial Pacific Fleet, after receiving the interception order, dispatched the First Pacific Task Force, extending to the south, central, and north Pacific, in an attempt to block the transportation channels for the Imperial Locust aircraft fragments coming from Southeast Asia. But nothing happened.
We did not give up until we received a telex from Li Yong stating that the fragments had not been transported to Uncle Sam's country.
But on their way back to the Zhenzhugang Naval Base, they discovered Uncle Sam's five fleets moving from the Central Pacific toward Asia. When Yan Bing saw the black pressure reflected from the radar, like a swarm of enemy ships like locusts,
The thought of ambushing the opponent was extinguished.
Yan Bing was not a reckless person. He used dozens of warships to fight against hundreds of warships of the other side. Isn't this the old man hanging himself? Are you tired of living?! He hurriedly ordered the fleet to get out of the main channel quickly, because
It was also reflected on the radar that a large number of carrier-based aircraft appeared on the other side.
He hurriedly led the team back to the main base. Emergency martial law began in the entire Hawaii, and a large number of long-range and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft were dispatched. The waters near Midway Island were the focus of reconnaissance aircraft, because relatively speaking, the defense of Midway Island was
is the weakest. Moreover, he also reported this discovery to the empire.
Originally, this intelligence empire's Central American base ~ Coco Island should have reported long ago, but now it is different. Uncle Sam's country has increased its patrols in the Pacific waters, especially the waters near North America and Central America. Even though Coco Island is now nominally a
JP Morgan Chase Group is also under surveillance.
As a result, Coco Island cannot continue to send and receive telegrams as freely as before. But they also have a way to deal with it. That is to send intelligence personnel to report to the Hawaii Intelligence Department on merchant ships, but the intelligence personnel have not arrived in Hawaii yet!
Yan Bing's intelligence attracted great attention from the empire, and the empire's top officials convened an emergency military meeting. Zhou Yu, who was at home with his wife and children, had to leave Rourou Township and rush to the Empire's General Staff Headquarters to attend this special military meeting.
This meeting was held in the Military Deduction Room of the Imperial General Staff. The meeting had a heated discussion. Everyone was divided into two groups. One group believed that the purpose of Uncle Sam's country was to seize the Strait of Malacca and support the remaining John Bull forces in Southeast Asia.
the military might of the empire;
The other group believes that Uncle Sam aims to seize the empire's ocean island chain and gain strategic initiative in Southeast Asia, changing passive defense into strategic offense. They believe that the party supporting the John Bull Empire is represented by Chen Xiru.
The strategic offensive side is represented by Liu Chengliang.
Both parties believed that their ideas were completely correct, so the discussion was quite heated.
There is a huge problem here, that is, it is difficult to make correct arrangements if the enemy's strategic purpose cannot be determined. Once the empire's actions against Uncle Sam's country are miscalculated, it is very likely to cause strategic consequences.
The passive situation leads to ruining the good situation in front of us.
So when both parties could not finally convince the other party, Zhou Yu stepped forward and expressed his thoughts.
"Prime Minister, Chief Cheng Liang, what you think is very reasonable. But according to my understanding of Uncle Sam's people, their purpose is not that simple. The Uncle Sam Country and the John Bull Empire are only alliances, not flesh and blood.
Uncle Sam will not do anything that is not conducive to his own brother!"
"This time, according to intelligence, the other party dispatched more than half of the country's main fleet at one time, and there were also fighter planes among them. This also shows that they already have aircraft carriers. How many aircraft carriers do the five major fleets have?
, how many carrier-based aircraft are there? It’s still unknown for now!”
“Here, let me first analyze what the Prime Minister and others believe that the enemy is supporting the John Bull Emperor.”….
"The enemy's five major fleets include hundreds of main battleships, countless carrier-based aircraft, and a large number of landing ships and troop transports. Such a huge fleet is spread out in the sea. How much sea area is needed for it to move?
First of all, it is certain that the waters of Malacca are far from enough."
"Then at the very least, it is difficult to establish that the other party directly supports the John Bull Empire Malacca."
"Next, let's analyze what General Cheng Liang and others put forward, that Uncle Sam wants to adjust its passive situation in Southeast Asia and even the Pacific, and turn it from passive attack to strategic offensive."
"If Uncle Sam wants to launch a strategic attack on our country, the offensive routes it will adopt are nothing more than three points. The first is the South Pacific, the second is the Central Pacific, and the third is the North Pacific. But the greatest strength required by these three routes is
It's the Navy and the Air Force, and the Army comes last."
"The first is the Empire's North Pacific Defense Line. On the North Pacific Defense Line, the Empire's greatest threat to Uncle Sam's country is the Hawaiian Islands. But the Hawaiian Islands have been managed by our country for more than thirty years, and they can be said to be rock-solid and unbreakable."
"If the other side wants to scoop up Hawaii in one fell swoop, it will need to dispatch at least 1,500 carrier-based aircraft with speeds and bomb-carrying capacity similar to those of the Imperial Locust. Obviously, based on Uncle Sam's strength at this time, it is completely impossible.
"
"So, the opponent's only choices are the Central Pacific region and the Southeast Pacific region. The seas in these two regions are concentrated and densely covered with islands, and they are not enough for the enemy to fight such a large-scale fleet. Therefore, Uncle Sam mainly attacks the front line.
The plan doesn’t work either?p
1!?p
"To sum up, I personally believe that Uncle Sam's move has multiple purposes. First, it can increase the overall strength of Asia and ensure that the interests of Asia are not harmed; second, it can effectively contain the imperial naval power and army power. That's it.
Indirect support for John Bull can also cause us to be in disarray and expose our weaknesses;"
"Third, the other side can use superior forces to threaten our country from the Rollin Islands or Mariana Islands, find loopholes in our defense, and maximize them. Because our country has so many defensive islands, it is impossible to determine the target of the other side's final attack.
At which point, we can only passively divide our forces for defense."
"For the current plan, in addition to increasing the defense and alert capabilities of the islands from the Mariana Islands to Malacca, our military should also take the initiative and use our most advantageous fighter jet cluster to always force the opponent's fleet to approach and break through
The other party’s strategic intentions.”
"In addition, our southern theater has stepped up its operations to strive for a comprehensive victory in Southeast Asia before the arrival of Uncle Sam's fleet, freeing up our hands to face the coming fierce attack of Uncle Sam's men." (To be continued.)
