Chapter 968: Something Happened
"Why are the Japanese so can't help fighting?" Looking at Japan, which had already lost half of its country, marked on the map, MacArthur and Nimitz, who had come together to discuss the next plan of action, could not help but look at each other.
Both of them have fought with the Japanese many times, and now they have just crawled out of the shadow of defeat, but they unexpectedly watched the Japanese being half solved by Huaxia.
"The Japanese are short of oil, steel and rubber, and even food, so naturally they can't hold on." MacArthur said, "Besides, we dealt them a heavy blow and caused them to lose a lot. β
Even MacArthur, who was arrogant and arrogant, did not dare to speak of the complete destruction of the main forces of the Japanese, especially the army.
Nimitz can proudly say that this is the credit of the US Navy. It should be said that most of the main battleships of the Japanese were overturned by the US Navy.
"The remaining strength of the Japanese is not weak!" Nimitz was still cautious.
The Japanese still have a lot of capital ships left, and the power of super battleships such as Yamato and Hyuga makes the Americans dare not be sloppy at all, plus the world's largest aircraft carrier at this time, the Shinano, which has recently been launched, and the Taiho and several Yunlong-class aircraft carriers that are being refitted, are still strong.
In addition, if Yamamoto fifty-six and other high-level admirals are not careful, even the US Navy will suffer defeat, and it may even reverse the tide of the war.
Moreover, the Japanese army still has at least nearly two million veterans and more than three million recruits cannon fodder.
Americans will have to pay a heavy price if they want to win.
It is precisely because the strength of the Japanese is there that the majority of the high-level US leaders are inclined to peace talks, and let the Japanese and China consume each other for a while. But who knows, in less than a month, the Japanese army will be consumed by more than a million. However, the losses from the Huaxia people were minimal.
"It may also be that the Huaxia people are indeed stronger, especially their army and airborne troops!" Nimitz's words made MacArthur's face darken.
When MacArthur was in Australia, he suffered a great loss at the hands of the airborne troops and the army in China. Moreover, his U.S. Army was repeatedly defeated by the Japanese Army, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese Army was blown up by the Chinese Army.
He couldn't argue with it. I could only say stupidly: "Huaxia's navy is also very strong. I heard that the Japanese are going to transfer all the main warships and are going to duel with the Huaxia Navy. β
MacArthur's strong network allowed him to get information in a timely manner.
Nimitz's face became solemn, he had just received this information. The outcome of the decisive naval battle between China and Japan will inevitably affect the US Navy's future policy in Asia. There are different countermeasures for China and Japan. Especially the Huaxia Navy, although he also looked down on the emerging Huaxia Navy, an unfamiliar opponent could easily lead to some accidents. Moreover, the warships of the Huaxia Navy were no less powerful.
"Who will win, you say?" MacArthur saw Nimitz's hesitation, and couldn't help but smile and continue to ask.
"If our old opponents play properly, they always have a better chance of winning. You know. The navy is not an army, it needs to accumulate heritage! Nimitz said sarcastically.
The U.S. ** team expanded rapidly, especially the army. In order to conduct simultaneous landing operations in North Africa, Europe, and Asia, the U.S. Army quickly expanded from less than 200,000 to more than 7 million, and is now approaching 8 million.
Although the Americans have many former veterans who can quickly change from reserve to the backbone of the regular army, after all, the number cannot support a huge army of seven or eight million. Moreover, those veterans after the First World War have not been in war for a long time, and in the environment of the army, which has always been lax in training, many of them are a little better than those recruits.
And those recruits are even worse. Under the call of freedom and rights, the title of young master soldier is not without origin.
It is not that a person who is familiar with guns from an early age can be a good soldier, and an army with powerful weapons does not lack violence, but more needs the discipline to control this violence, and a spirit that can dare to sacrifice in the face of death threats.
There is no shortage of warriors in the American ** team, but there are also more young master soldiers among them, although it is not enough to disrespect the military order to be deserters, but if you want them to fight hard, you must not count on it. It's easy to get out of the way, and the Americans, who are adept at using guns to defend their rights, have plenty of reasons to invalidate the governor's coercive orders.
Of course. The powerful weapons of the Americans also do not need so much cannon fodder, preferring to spend a lot of money and ammunition to crush their opponents. Although there are many suspicions of moving the national treasury to the homes of arms predators, there is still an emphasis on human rights and the balance of votes behind them.
At least the current adversaries are not strong enough for the Americans to make a choice that requires more sacrifices.
As a result, the Army's laxity made the US Navy, which prides itself on being an elite, look down on it, and the rapidly expanding Army has snatched more military spending, making the Navy, which has always been the darling of the United States, very dissatisfied.
Contradictions between the services. Nimitz definitely couldn't say anything to praise the Army.
"I don't see it that way!" Even if MacArthur was also not optimistic about the Chinese Navy, he still refused to echo Nimitz's judgment and said coldly, "You know, the battlefield is always full of all kinds of accidents. β
"You also know that those people in Washington don't allow accidents to happen!" Nimitz smiled meaningfully, spreading his hands.
β¦β¦
"Something happened!" Leahy shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Huaxia sealed the surrounding sea with the Vanguard cannon, making it difficult for the Japanese to find a decisive battle with their navy. β
The power of the Pioneer Cannon has long been known to everyone, and this time it is even more remarkable to use it on Japanese soil.
Huaxia relied on the vanguard cannon, and the Japanese Navy couldn't even speak.
The Seto Inland Sea could not be entered, the Kanmon Strait could not be crossed, and the Whale Sea could not be entered from the Korean Strait, and the main fleet of the Japanese Navy, which was approaching Nagasaki, was greeted by huge artillery shells in the waters near Nagasaki. Even in Sasebo to the north, the roar of the vanguard cannon could be heard.
For several days in a row, the Japanese Navy was confronted with the Pioneer cannons.
Although after paying the price of the damage to the Hyuga, the sinking of 2 destroyers and more than 80 fighters, relying on the efforts of the Navy and the super battleships, they were able to destroy 1, but then more huge guns were erected one after another, which completely made the unconvinced Japanese Navy lose its temper, and could only sit and watch the Huaxia Navy continue to sweep through the Japanese cities along these seas in the Seto Inland Sea and the Whale Sea.
The Americans have also investigated the Vanguard cannon, but again, there is no good way to deal with it.
The tight air defense positions around the giant artillery, with the blessing of the base guard artillery, it is even difficult for mosquitoes to fly in, and the strength of the Chinese air force also makes the Americans think that they cannot win easily. The Americans did not pay a huge price, and they also had no way to take the Vanguard cannon.
The Americans can afford it, but the Japanese can't.
After hearing the news that the Japanese Navy was going to fight a decisive battle with the Huaxia Navy, in order to avoid accidents, the Americans generously provided the Japanese with a large amount of fuel and some other military supplies, in an effort to get the Japanese to bring them good news.
However, the Americans still did not mention warships, aircraft, and some sensitive materials, and their intention to consume the strength of the Japanese Navy was also very obvious.
Anyway, the Chinese army is attacking the city on the Japanese mainland, and the most anxious is the Japanese. This kind of conspiracy can't be hidden.
However, although the naval strength had to be sacrificed, in the current situation of insufficient production capacity, the Japanese would consume one warship, and it would be extremely unwise to consume one less warship, and it would be extremely unwise to consume empty air on the giant cannon.
Yamamoto Fifty-six quickly withdrew his troops, and also extinguished the mind of a decisive battle in Nagasaki and Huaxia.
"And what are the Japanese going to do?" Roosevelt closed a copy of Washington's biography spread over his knee blanket and asked softly.
"They plan to use the main fleet to directly attack Shanghai and other coastal cities in China, forcing the Chinese Navy to go to sea for a decisive battle." Leahy said directly.
Roosevelt listened calmly.
"It's just ......," Leahy hesitated.
"Just what?" Roosevelt's smile floated to the corners of his mouth.
"The Japanese have put forward conditions again." Leahy quickly said in a complaining tone, "In order to avoid accidents, they need more strategic materials for long-distance operations, as well as fighters to deal with the Huaxia Army Airlines, accurate, timely and reliable radar, and more intelligence!" Even they want submarines. β
"We don't need surprises!" Roosevelt suddenly sat up straight and said, "We have only one ending, the Japanese have dragged the Chinese people to death." It doesn't matter if their battlefield is on Japanese soil, or on the ocean. In short, Asia cannot afford to have a winner other than ours prematurely, especially since this winner may be beyond our control. β
Randomly, he slowed down and said, "You can give them what should be given." What are the Japanese left with but what we give them? β
β¦β¦
"Give it to them! Although this rabble of natives is difficult to do much with this batch of arms, it is still okay to at least add a little chaos to the Americans. Meng Xiang smiled and signed his name on the document, "The Americans thought that the little devil would be able to easily take back the Philippines if he withdrew, which is too naΓ―ve."
