Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudge Chapter 135 A Protracted War of Attrition
The Emperor was killed, and the President of the United States was shocked. In Westwood's view, the incident of being born in the early morning of the day of the knife is not only a clear signal of the "tragedy of extermination" suffered by the Emperor of Heaven but also the expansion of the scale of the war.
When Kitayama Shikawa announced a deadline to terminate the armistice negotiations in Paris, Westwood was thinking about the consequences.
"The situation is very clear, China is ready for a protracted war" It is still General Duchway who analyzes the war situation and provides military reference for the president. "Although we have not yet taken the actual object of the incendiary bomb, judging from the scene after the bombing taken by the reconnaissance satellite, the incendiary bombs used by China in the war have been improved, and the power is very terrifying. Spectral analysis showed that the temperature generated by the incendiary bomb exceeded 6,000 degrees Celsius, and some special incendiary agent must have been added. I've read the relevant information provided by uranium, and some of China's largest ammunition workers are working overtime to produce new incendiary bombs. It's not just now, it's already started after Zhan Zhuo exploded the child. According to the most conservative estimates, China has produced about 2.5 million tons of special incendiary bombs, with monthly production ranging from 1 million to 1.5 million tons. ”
Brooklyn's brow jumped a few times, revealing a look of disbelief.
"This is my estimate, much higher than the assessment of four...... Du Baisheng smiled bitterly and said, "You all think this number is too exaggerated. One might ask, can China consume so many incendiary bombs? The answer is yes, China can use at least two million tons of incendiary bombs within a month if it wants to. ”
"General, this is no joke, we
"I know it's a reference for the president to make strategic decisions." Du Qiwei glanced at Brooklyn, lit a cigarette between his fingers, and said, "The Chinese Air Force has a total of 150 bombers of the 4th series of bombers, 1,200 fighters of the 4th series of fighters and 2,800 fighters of the old series. That's 450,000 tons a month. Because Japan has few heavily protected military targets and strategic infrastructure, it is likely that China will use incendiary bombs on a large scale in the war. According to the proportion of incendiary bombs we used in World War II, which is calculated by 80 percent of the ammunition we dropped, China was able to drop 1.16 million tons of incendiary bombs on Japan every month without increasing the intensity of its strikes and mobilizing its strategic reserve forces. In addition to the forces already participating in the war, the Chinese Air Force and Navy have about 200 Ban Xiao old series fighters and 300 Xiao Zhan series fighters that can be mobilized. If necessary, the Chinese Air Force and Navy will even mobilize to mothballer strategic bombers after the war on the Peninsula. In this way, it is not difficult to consume two million tons of incendiary bombs a month. Of course, the biggest problem for China is how to increase the production of incendiary bombs. ”
Brooklyn gasped and didn't refute Dudgway's point.
Westwood pondered for a while, saying that Wu "is true, how can China increase production." ”
"If the information provided by the four is not wrong. The Chinese government is already trying to figure out how to solve this problem," Mr. Duchway said, taking two puffs of his cigarette, "After Murakami committed suicide, Wang Yuanqing met with Lin Yanbo and others." Although Lin Yanbo has semi-retired, the assets under his name have been transferred to the name of "Sanjian Fund", which is managed by his nephew. According to the information that has been obtained, Sui Yanbo and others have not set foot in the Junyu industry. But we can't ignore the fact that the executive chairman of China's largest foreign arms company is none other than Lin Yibo's daughter, Lin Muhua. The information provided by the ship is very detailed, "Zhongzhong Group, when it was established, Lin Muhua must have received investment from Lin Yanbo, Li Chengwen, Ye Yongji and others. All the time. Lin Muhua is the executive chairman of "Zhongzhong Group". In other words, "Zhongzhong Group, the behind-the-scenes boss is Lin Yanbo and others." It's not hard to see why. "Zhongzhong Group, when it was established, Ji Youguo was still in power, and Wang Yuanqing was Ji Chuanguo's assistant. From this, it is certain that the relationship between Wang Yuanqing and Lin Yanbo and others is extraordinary
"The military industry of Niu Country has always been based on re-learning, is it necessary for Wang Yuanqing to find Lin Tang Bo to be busy?"
Dudgway smiled and did not answer the president's question.
"It depends on Wang Yuanqing's plans for the future." Brooklyn let out a long sigh and said, "Concubine Yuanqing is deeply rooted in the true inheritance of Ji Wei County, and her performance in this war is also very similar to Ji Youguo. Arguably. Until now, we haven't figured out Wang Yuanqing's real month. At the beginning, Ji Jieguo strongly advocated for Pakistan to win the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, and fought Japan in the East China Sea regardless of the risks. Who can believe that Ji Youguo's ultimate goal is not to expand abroad, but to promote the reform of the county with the help of foreign wars, laying a solid foundation for Zhao Rundong in the future. If Wang Yuanqing is a person like Ji Youguo, his goal is not to kill Japan. Rather, it is necessary to gain the support of the soldiers, especially the support of a group of enlightened soldiers, and prepare for future reforms. China has established a relatively complete industrial chain, and has enough strength to match us in the field of high-end manufacturing. According to my guess. Wang Yuangeng is to follow the blueprint formulated by Ji Youguo to complete the reform that Ji Youguo has not completed! ”
Westwood frowned, and the Secretary of State looked over.
"Deepen the reform of the political system." Brooklyn pulled out his cigar and quickly took a puff. "It is no longer the economic issue that restricts China's development, but the issue of political interests. Wang Yuanqing wants to become a great leader like Ji Youguo. In addition to the military merits of building a transgressive alliance on the foreign battlefield, the most important thing is to carry out political reform and lay the foundation for China's long-term development. Of course, political reform is not a simple matter, nor is it a separate thing. There is no corresponding economic and social basis. There is no way to talk about political reform. Before Wang Yuanqing formally implemented the political reform, he had to complete the economic restructuring, that is, let the government no longer participate in economic activities, gradually push a large number of state-owned enterprises to the market, and replace state-owned capital with private capital to become the pillar of China's economy
That is to say, "Wang Yuanqing is ready to open a knife on military enterprises?" Wesshwood's expression became more solemn.
"That's true, Wang Yuanqing definitely wants to take advantage of this war to reform in the field of military industry first." Brooklyn took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "The most motivating force for reforming the military-industrial complex is not government policy. Strictly speaking, because of the peculiarities of the military-industrial complex, the government is even the main obstacle to reform. Even if Wang Youqing had established enough prestige in this war to gain the full support of the army, he would have to have some scruples. In this way, before carrying out the reform of the military industrial system, Wang Yuanqing must let private capital perform, prove that it can play an important role in the field of military production, and prove that private capital can still provide a guarantee for national security. The most effective way to achieve this is to have private military enterprises provide full support to the drought brigades in wartime. ”
Westwood pondered for a while and said, "In this way, every navy in the Chinese Air Force will not be short of ammunition. ”
Not only will there be no shortage of ammunition, but there will also be no shortage of ammunition to purchase Zijin Brudrin smiled faintly and said, "Lin Yanbo is a very discerning recommender, and Li Chengwen and Ye Yongji's vision is not bad. What's more, the three have extremely strong capital. Although according to outside estimates. The total assets of the three big businessmen, who are already in the top five of the world's richest list, range from $30 billion to $400 billion, but according to the relevant information provided by Four, because all three are involved in the financial war against Japan, their total assets are likely to be twice as high as the published figures, if not more. In order to win the government's trust, the three of them will definitely inject capital into the "Zhongzhong Group, or set up a new arms enterprise, and provide ammunition for the squadron in the form of loans or joint banks." Although the assets of the three are only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge war costs, China has prepared trillions of war funds, and what is lacking is only a little. As long as the three can spend money, even if only half of the assets are used to fund the squadron, it is enough to purchase tens of millions of tons, or even hundreds of millions of tons of incendiary bombs. According to General Duchway's analysis, even two million tons of incendiary bombs are consumed every month. The squadron can play for several years! ”
"It can also completely destroy Japan, Duchway added.
Brooklyn nodded, smiling in agreement with Dudgway's opinion.
"The war dragged on for several years, can China afford it?"
"It won't drag on for years, at least not for years.
Brooklyn extinguished his cigarette butt and said. "With the current situation, there is no need for China to keep the country at war. As long as it does not attack the Japanese mainland, China can completely reduce the level of war. Fight a long war of attrition with Japan. Judging from the actual situation of the 4 books, the bombing will not last for a few years, and it will only take a few months, and it will be difficult for the Chinese air force and navy to find targets to bomb in Japan. In a few months, China will return to normal. If Wang Yuanqing believes that the development of the economy is more important, he will even lift the state of war in the near future and let the country return to normal order. ”
"How much of an impact does this have on the war?"
Brooklyn smiled and looked over to Dudgway.
"There was little or no significant impact." Dudgway shrugged his shoulders and said. "Japan has completely lost its combat capability. No matter how large the army is, it is impossible to cross the sea to attack China. If China intends to fight a long-term war of attrition with Japan, it is quite possible to dismantle the aircraft carrier battle group into three separate battle groups, plus a "prefabricated fleet." A total strategic blockade was imposed on Japan. Air and naval aviation can take turns to fight, reducing the intensity of bombing by two-thirds after a large-scale bombardment. to maintain long-term combat capability. As we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, China will not be affected much beyond continued military spending
"That is, the war will definitely continue?.
Both Brooklyn and Dudgway nodded in the affirmative.
Westwood took a long breath and lit his cigar.
If the war continues, will it really be good for the United States?
