Chapter 913: Sino-US Negotiations
readx; He said: "There are quite a few troops deployed in the Philippines, as high as more than 100,000, and the distance to cross the sea is relatively long, so it is relatively difficult to attack. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to attack the Philippines, China not only concentrated a large number of naval and air force units for landing support, but also transferred the Second Army to the South Pacific Theater of the Army, which has under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Army and the 23rd Army, as well as a number of artillery, tank, and air defense units, totaling more than 100,000 troops.
In order to cover the landing of the Second Army in the Philippines, the Navy has concentrated a large number of landing ships and transport ships, among which the Third Mobile Fleet is responsible for covering the western waters of the Philippines, and the Second Mobile Fleet will be responsible for covering the waters of the northwest of the Philippines. The concentration of ground forces, as well as naval and air forces, was even greater than the landing in the Ryukyus in June.
On 26 July, the Second Army, escorted by the Third Mobile Fleet, set out from the ports of Guangzhou, Hainan and other ports, and headed for the Philippines after forming in the South China Sea, thus launching the official Philippine campaign.
By this time, China had taken advantage of its huge military superiority to attack in all directions, almost simultaneously fighting in the four directions of Sumatra, Kalimantan, the Philippines, and the Ryukyus, and in order to support the total number of troops in these areas exceeding 500,000 to fight, the Chinese Navy was also ushering in the busiest period in history.
And because of the large number of overseas combat troops, China's existing maritime transportation forces are feeling the huge pressure, and major shipyards are not only building a large number of warships, but also producing a large number of transport ships.
This is not only a war to compete with the combat effectiveness of the army, but also a war to compete with the logistical supply capacity, China's troops have to consume a large amount of materials every day, and these materials must not only be produced in a timely manner at home, but also be able to be transported to the battlefield in a timely manner, on land is to rely on railways and highways, for which the army has established a huge truck transport force, and if it fights overseas, it has to rely on a large number of transport ships to transport, and these transport ships also need warships to escort them.
And the escort aircraft carriers, which have not played a big role all along, have also been brought into full play, and those escort aircraft carriers can always be seen in the transport fleet in large formations, and with this kind of escort aircraft carriers, the fleet aircraft carriers can be freed up to carry out blockade and decisive naval battle missions.
When China was attacking the colonies it had occupied, and was carrying out strategic bombing of the mainland.
The European battlefield is a stalemate, although the Soviet Union has survived the difficulties of 1941 and 1942, and in the past year or two counteroffensive to recover some territory, but now it has not been able to get much strategic progress, in general, the Soviet-German battlefield is still in a stalemate, as for Europe, because the United States is contained in the direction of Australia and North Africa, it is useless to launch a large-scale landing on Europe in a short period of time, and in North Africa, although Italy's combat effectiveness is not good, However, Germany's Afrika Korps is still fighting well, and in order to keep the Sino-German trade and transportation routes from Iran to Turkey and then to the Balkans, Germany has invested a lot of forces in North Africa.
North Africa is not lost, which means the security of Italy and the Balkans, so that China's transportation of strategic materials to Germany can continue, and in this way, Germany's various industrial production can remain normal.
Compared with history, the situation of Soviet Russia was much worse, and it was simply not possible to counterattack Germany alone. Germany's situation is better than it has historically been, and despite the fierce strategic bombing of Britain and the United States in Europe, Germany's industrial production has been maintained, and the most important strategic material, oil, has been barely supplied.
However, this situation will not last long, and once the United States is freed from the Asian theater, then Germany will be defeated.
China's strategic bombing of the country almost completely destroyed the industrial power of the country, and the four-type fighter was originally mass-produced in the second half of 1944, but after being bombed by the strategy, the output dropped to the point that it could not meet the needs of the army air force at all.
Having lost all kinds of material support from the local side, the troops on the islands of Australia and New Guinea were also defeated in the face of British and American attacks.
It is already a matter of time before Ben is completely defeated, and how long it can really hold out depends on when China launches a landing on the mainland.
In consideration of the situation in the entire Pacific Ocean and the world, and in view of the large number of casualties that would be consumed in landing on the mainland, Chen Jingyun would not have landed on the mainland too early; according to Chen Jingyun's idea, he should have robbed the Philippines and other occupied areas first, and after the bombers had blown the entire territory into ruins, they would have landed on the mainland, so as to avoid large-scale casualties.
Chen Jingyun didn't want to kill and injure millions of people because of the landing, and even if the Chinese family had a great cause, this price could not be afforded.
Besides, he has another killer weapon, that is, the nuclear bomb, if he says, "If he doesn't surrender, he plans to learn from the United States in history, and give him an unforgettable gift of world war."
As time passed day by day, China successively conquered Sumatra and Kalimantan, and the Second Army also took most of the Philippines.
Seeing that the situation in China is very good, and China continues to maintain trade with Germany despite the strong opposition of the United States, Britain and Russia, this makes Britain and the United States a little unable to sit still.
At Nanjing Airport, as a huge GA8 plane escorted by several F5 fighter jets landed, a group of Chinese officials walked to the plane, and then they met with US Secretary of State Prime Minister Cordell, who had almost crossed the entire globe. Hall, Ma Yinchu walked up, and then with Cordell? Hall struck a gesture of cordial handshake.
"Cordell? Good luck on the way, Mr. Hall! ”
Cordell? Hao Er said with a professional smile on his face: "I am very good, your country's aviation technology really deserves its reputation, and it can reach Nanjing so quickly on the way, which is faster than we imagined!" ”
Ma Yinchu smiled: "That's good! ”
Cordell? Hall from North America to South Africa to Iran, all the way on the boat, originally thought that after arriving in Iran will arrive in China by rail, it is expected that the journey from Iran to Nanjing will last for a long time, but did not expect the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to directly send a GA8 special plane to pick up people.
GA8 passenger aircraft, from the perspective of passenger aircraft and commercial point of view, due to its extremely expensive price has caused it to become a typical failure airliner, but in any case, this GA8 passenger aircraft is the most advanced passenger aircraft in China, ultra-long range and great cruising speed are deeply loved by high-level Chinese officials, when visiting the GA8 passenger plane.
When Cordell? Hall was also a little surprised when he saw this huge plane, although he also knew that China had a B16 bomber comparable to the B29 Super Fortress, but he did not expect that China's civil airliner could also be so advanced. In fact, the GA8 he saw was not a civil airliner, because the GA8 was not really put into the market, and only dozens of them were purchased as business jets.
But I have to say that this GA8 aircraft really represents the strength of China's outstanding aviation industry, and some people who don't have much knowledge will be shocked when they see such a huge aircraft.
However, if people see China's B19 ultra-long-range strategic bomber, it is estimated that their jaws will be shocked, the take-off weight of this GA8 is more than 60 tons, and the maximum take-off weight of the B19 ultra-long-range strategic bomber is as high as 160 tons, and the size of the two is not a level at all.
However, the existence of B19 is absolutely secret, and it is the same level as the nuclear bomb, other foreigners or ordinary Chinese, even most of the senior generals of China [***] do not know what B19 is, most of the senior generals are just that China has the name B19 bomber, but they don't know other detailed data at all.
Not to mention the B19, even the B16 bombers are not seen by ordinary people, don't look at China now there are thousands of B16s, but these bombers are only familiar to the people of the Chinese Air Force, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know the specific situation. Ordinary people can still have access to ordinary civil airliners, such as a large number of GA7 series and GA6 series owned by the Civil Aviation Corporation of China, these two series of civil airliners are the main passenger aircraft in China's civil aviation market.
Cordell? Hall is still shocked by the GA8 aircraft, the United States is not saying that there are no large aircraft, the B29 is a large bomber that they are proud of, and Cordell? Hall doesn't think this GA8 is more advanced than the B29, Kodel? Hall was surprised that China was able to build a large aircraft that was not inferior to the B29.
Although China's aviation industry developed very early, China's industrial base was there, and before the twenties, it could not even build an aero engine, but in just over 30 years, it has developed to the point of being a first-class power, and it can build a super-large strategic bomber that represents the highest level of the aviation industry, and the technical difficulty of building a strategic bomber is much more difficult than building a propeller fighter.
