Chapter 1150: Nuclear Advances
If Plan A is the Imperial Navy's plan to attack the U.S. Navy's base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, it is an attempt to wipe out the U.S. Navy's military forces in the Pacific Ocean and seize the Hawaiian Islands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then, for Plan A, there will be Plan B and Plan C in the follow-up.
The so-called plans B and C are the follow-up to Plan A. Plan B means that if the U.S. Navy's warships in the Pacific are not all concentrated at the Pearl Harbor base, and there are still many warships performing tasks outside the port, so that the Imperial Navy's sneak attack cannot wipe them out in one fell swoop, the Imperial Navy must use follow-up actions to wipe out the U.S. Navy's military forces in the Pacific.
After the implementation of Plan A, the Imperial Navy will leave two carrier strike groups and battleship detachments in the Hawaiian Islands to carry out the task of covering the attack of the Marines on the island. The rest of the main forces of the Navy will go to the waters east of Hawaii to hunt down the escaped warships of the US Navy, and even launch an attack on the US Navy's San Diego Naval Base, striving to eliminate all the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet at once. And, if possible, launch an attack on the important port cities on the west coast of the U.S. Navy, destroying their ports, heavy industry factories and shipyards, further destroying the U.S. Navy's war potential and guaranteeing the Imperial Navy's superiority in the Pacific.
As for Plan C, it was an attack by the Imperial Navy on the Panama Canal. The current Panama Canal is in the hands of the Americans. Because of the range of the aircraft, even if the Imperial Navy wiped out the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, and the American shipyards on the West Coast. However, the real industrial center of the United States is on the East Coast. They will still build a large number of warships on the east coast, including aircraft carriers. At that time, in less than two years, the Imperial Navy will face retaliation from the US Navy. It's just that the warships of the US Navy have only two options from the east coast to the west coast. One is a detour to South America. But in that case, it will need to sail tens of thousands of kilometers, and it is easy for the Chinese Navy to seize the opportunity to solve it. The second is through the Panama Canal. If the Chinese Navy can destroy the Panama Canal, it will undoubtedly block this important path of the US Navy. If the United States wants to recruit troops on the West Coast, it will have to make a detour to South America.
The Imperial Navy planned to send two carrier strike groups to bomb the Panama Canal. In particular, if the important locks of the canal are blown up, it is unrealistic to repair them without a long time and huge investment. Due to the height of the sea level, ships often need to pass through the locks to pass through the Panama Canal, so that they can travel from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
With the implementation of the three plans of the entire ABC, the Imperial Navy will have the upper hand in the Pacific Ocean. If done well, you can even maintain the advantage until the end of the war. It will be very difficult for the U.S. Navy to break the superiority of the Imperial Navy. The so-called one step behind, one step behind. The whole set of plans of the Imperial Navy, well-thought-out and detailed. It can be seen that under the leadership of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, in order to deal with the Americans, the empire has been preparing for a long time. In order to ensure that the empire defeats the United States in one fell swoop in future wars.
At the time when the main forces of the Imperial Navy launched an attack on the Hawaiian Islands, as well as on the west coast of the United States and the Panama Canal. The other two aircraft carrier strike groups of the Imperial Navy will cooperate with the remaining warships of the Pacific Fleet and the South Ocean Fleet to launch attacks on the Philippine colonies of the Americans, the Australian colonies of the British, and the islands of Britain, France, and the United States in the Pacific, so as to uproot all the American military forces in the Pacific Ocean in one fell swoop and achieve the goal of dominating the Pacific Ocean. In that case, it will be even more difficult for the Americans to compete with the Chinese Empire for the Pacific Ocean than it will be to ascend to the sky.
After listening to the Navy's report, Wu Haoxuan was generally very satisfied. He could see that the navy was still working very hard to defeat the Americans. Of course, with the Imperial Navy having the upper hand, the Imperial Navy deserves to be victorious in future wars. If you can't win even like this, then God really won't be able to open your eyes.
After Wu Haoxuan encouraged the admirals, he returned to the palace satisfied. Now he has done what he should have done. Next, we have to wait for the war to break out, and then wait to see how the Empire's soldiers behave. Wu Haoxuan believed that the army, navy, and air force of the empire would definitely do their best to perform in this war and win victory for the empire. The so-called plan is in man, and success is in heaven. No one can really be sure of everything. It is already very good to be able to help the Empire* army to achieve a very high chance of victory through these means.
After returning to the palace, Wu Haoxuan rested for a while, and Zhao Hu, the chief of the guard, reported that Marshal Chen Xudong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, there's news from the Northwest Base." Chen Xudong reported to Wu Haoxuan.
"Northwest base? Did they succeed? Wu Haoxuan was suddenly shocked. If there is anything he regrets, it is that when the war is about to break out, the empire has been working hard for so long on the nuclear weapons program, and still has not seen the day when it will come to fruition, which makes Wu Haoxuan very disappointed. It also made him understand that when the technical conditions are not enough, forcibly pushing forward a certain plan will consume more time, as well as manpower, material and financial resources. However, Wu Haoxuan believes that the empire has been working hard for more than ten years and will definitely be able to see results soon. At least, the empire has been many years ahead of other countries in this regard. In any case, the Empire will succeed in developing nuclear weapons before other countries. So as to be invincible in future wars.
"Your Majesty, through the efforts of scientists, we have overcome those difficulties. Tens of thousands of centrifuges have been installed at the raw material factory, and it is expected that in a few months, it will be able to produce enough nuclear materials for an atomic bomb. After that, scientists will begin assembling an explosive device, followed by a test explosion. If all goes well, it is expected that the goal will be completed by the beginning of next year. Marshal Chen Xudong said.
"Well, very good, we've been working hard for so many years and we're finally seeing results. Tell those scientists and thank them for their efforts. With this weapon of destruction, the empire will be invincible in future wars! Wu Haoxuan said with emotion.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Chen Xudong nodded.
In order to keep it secret, the Empire's nuclear weapons program has always been carried out under the auspices of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and thousands of scientists and engineers have been working hard in this area in the desolate base in the northwest. However, Emperor Wu Haoxuan only proposed a general direction. Everything has to be done by these scientists. Constrained by technical conditions, they encountered a lot of problems. However, fortunately, with the huge investment of financial and material resources, these difficulties have been overcome one by one. Now, we have seen the day when we are about to succeed. It is not easy to persist for more than ten years. Even Marshal Chen Xudong once thought that this was simply impossible. How is it possible to destroy a city with a single bomb? Emperor Wu Haoxuan is not whimsical!
However, because of their unconditional trust in Emperor Wu Haoxuan, they worked hard to persevere. Until the theoretical work was completely completed, the statement of the Emperor Wu Haoxuan was confirmed. That's what gives them more confidence to persevere.
"It's finally going to work, it's finally going to work. When the time comes, should you throw a few atomic bombs on the enemy? Wu Haoxuan said secretly. Japan has now become a vassal state of the empire and is honest. In this war, the Japanese are expected to send more than a million or more cannon fodder to the Empire. Under such circumstances, the Reich was naturally embarrassed to drop the atomic bomb on the heads of the Japanese. Although, Wu Haoxuan really wants to do that.
However, if you want to completely defeat the Americans, you can drop a few atomic bombs on the heads of the Americans. Like Washington, New York, and the industrial cities around the Great Lakes. In later generations, the United States flaunted its might all over the world and acted as the world's policeman, and it also bullied China. Now that he has a chance, Wu Haoxuan really wants to beat the Americans down. On the territory of the so-called chosen country of the United States, throw a few atomic bombs and let the Americans know that in this time and space, they don't want to become a superpower.
In addition, the Germans, the allies of the Reich, were equally ambitious. The Führer, that guy, is even more of a madman. If he were allowed to live in the world, it would be a major threat to the Empire. If necessary, perhaps an atomic bomb could be dropped on Berlin and the Führer would be completely annihilated. In this case, the Third Reich built by the Führer would also fall apart. A divided Europe poses no threat to the empire. The empire will become the most powerful country in the world.
Of course, these are just Wu Haoxuan's conjectures. The first atomic bomb will not be tested until early next year. Moreover, it can hardly be called an atomic bomb, at most it is an atomic explosive device. In order for an atomic bomb to be loaded into an airplane and transported, it had to be miniaturized. Otherwise, even if it is developed, it will be of no use.
In addition, the empire needs to develop more advanced operational tools. The existing H9 bomber still has too little bomb load and too close range, so it needs a larger and farther heavy bomber. The development of missiles also needs to be accelerated. Make sure that the Empire's atomic bomb can be dropped on the enemy's head once it is actually developed. (To be continued.) )
