Moreover, the second and third batch of J-2 jet fighters purchased by the Japanese army have also arrived and entered service, and they have formed combat effectiveness and went to the Philippines to assist in the war, allowing the Japanese army to dominate the air supremacy in most areas for the rest of 1947.
.The teardrop-shaped submarines purchased from China also pose a considerable threat to the increasingly stretched maritime supply lines of the US military in the Pacific.
, which greatly affected the morale and firepower of the U.S. military. As a result, the U.S. military paid a huge price with more than 200,000 people killed, missing, and captured before finally taking over Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and its surrounding areas.
Most of the land on Luzon Island is still in the hands of the Japanese army. As for other islands in the Philippines, let alone...
Although it failed to fully achieve the expected results, the US military did not only fight on the frontal battlefield. The strategic bombing launched by the British Three Kingdoms and the Madeira Islands against Germany and the Arab League has never stopped. Although there is only one atomic bomb left in order to maintain
It has not been used as a deterrent, but even conventional bombs caused unprecedented damage to the industries of Germany and the three Low Countries due to their staggering number. They also killed a large number of civilians. Among them, only Germany's mainland had the most damage in this year.
More than 200,000 people were killed there.
Although the United States has also paid a huge price for this, and even its reserve of amateur pilots, which is several times that of Germany, is on the verge of exhaustion, the United States' family foundation is too strong, even if it is 3 for 2, or even 2 for 1. In the end, it will fail
Those who will go down must be the Axis Powers, Roosevelt has this confidence. Especially as the situation of World War II becomes more and more favorable to the Allies, the American financial oligarchs who were once very dissatisfied have temporarily disappeared.
He endured it and waited for Roosevelt to fulfill his promise when the spoils were divided between the countries after the victory. It seemed that everything was going in a good direction, but Roosevelt became increasingly uneasy. He stared at the world again and again.
The ancient but young country in the east of the map always feels that those Chinese Red Party members who are fearless will do something big that will make the whole world tremble...
Compared with 1946, due to the introduction of many skilled workers from Japan and the improvement of production automation level, China's economic growth rate rebounded significantly in 1947. Among them, the total industrial output value increased by 11% year-on-year compared with the previous year.
% or more. This number far exceeds
This year, the world's major powers experienced generally negative economic growth. But more importantly, New China, which had disarmed for just a few years, restarted its military expansion and preparations for war. By the end of 1947, the number of combat troops in the People's Liberation Army had returned to 800.
More than 10,000 and counting.
And compared with the original period of major disarmament, the weapons and equipment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army have been completely transformed. Taking the Air Force as an example, by the end of 1947, China had more than 5,000 military aircraft of various types, of which more than 1,000 fighter jets had all been replaced by
jet fighters, and more than a hundred of them are J-3 supersonic fighter jets that lead the world in performance.
As for the army, the number of 59 modified vehicles with "three defense" capabilities and equipped with infrared night vision devices, artillery stabilizers and composite armor has reached more than 1,500. At the same time, the number of Chinese field artillery has increased unknowingly.
It has surpassed Japan and the United Kingdom and ranks fourth in the world. This has greatly improved the PLA's weakness of insufficient fire support. As for small arms that have long reached the world's advanced level, they are still not lagging behind, and both in terms of inventory and monthly output,
They have all become number one in the world.
Even the navy, which has always been lagging behind, has now been completely reborn. By the end of 1947, the total number of seven major combat ships owned by the Chinese Navy: aircraft carriers, cruisers, escort carriers, destroyers, frigates, and submarines had reached an astonishing 160
There are more than one ship, and if you include speedboats and other small ships and
The total number of non-combat ships such as supply ships has exceeded 1,500, ranking first in the world. Among them, there are more than 300 world-leading missile speedboats, and the monthly production has increased to more than 15 ships. If
Counting the number of modified torpedo boats, the number exceeds 50...
Although the proportion of large and medium-sized ships capable of conducting ocean operations in the Chinese Navy's combat sequence is not high, in China's coastal waters, they can join hands with the land-based aircraft of the Air Force and Hainan Airlines to fight the enemy, which is enough to defend the coastal defense of New China, even if it is the world's No. 1
The entire U.S. Navy came to attack with all their strength, but they could only return with hatred...
It was precisely with stronger national and military power that the Chinese government was greatly emboldened and its foreign policy became increasingly tough. Under such circumstances, an incident occurred at the end of 1947 that attracted the attention of countries around the world.
In order to resist the attack of the US military, the Japanese government wants to import 300 jet fighters from China again, but it really cannot come up with the money. Even if it continues to "sell" women and skilled workers to China, it cannot fill the growing demand.
Trade deficit. In this case, the Japanese Emperor Takahito came up with an idea that only he could implement, which was to sell half of the Sakhalin Island that Japan had snatched from the Soviet Union to China. Since Indonesia had every year
With more than 20 million tons of crude oil reserves, South Sakhalin’s annual
One hundred thousand tons are already dispensable. Instead, a large garrison must be left to defend against the Soviet Union. It is better to exchange it for the advanced weapons and equipment that Japan most urgently needs at present. Moreover, this trick kills three birds with one stone, and can both drive a wedge between China and the Soviet Union.
By leveraging China's power to ensure the security of Japan's north, it can also free up some mobile forces, and it can also contain the Soviet Union's military power and secretly assist Germany, thereby forcing the United States to invest more power in the European battlefield and reduce the Japanese military's presence in the Pacific battlefield.
The pressure on...
At this time, China needed an inducement to break up with the Soviet Union, so it agreed to the Japanese government's proposal without hesitation. The Soviet government naturally expressed great dissatisfaction with this. After all, in their view, South Sakhalin Island was the original
Japan took advantage of the crisis and took advantage of the civil strife in Russia after the October Revolution to seize it. They completely ignored that Sakhalin was forcibly ceded by Tsarist Russia from the Qing Dynasty...
In fact, the Soviet government is also worried that the Chinese government will turn against it because of this matter, but if it does not express its position so publicly, it will not be easy to explain to the country. It is also worried that the Chinese will take advantage of it and want to regain other lost ground. Although the Chinese government expressed its position in the Soviet Union
back
The Soviet government was slightly relieved that it only responded with rhetoric, but did not send more troops to the border. However, Stalin still decided to seize the time to counterattack Germany, so as not to fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. (To be continued.)
