Chapter 1064: Full Temptation
PS: It's a mess in my head, and this chapter is badly written. Thank you for your understanding.
"We can't tell which of them are real warships and which are fakes. But we can be sure of one thing, the Chinese could not have had so many aircraft carriers and battleships. Not to mention that they can't afford to build and buy, even if they can get so many warships, where will they find skilled sailors and experienced officers to operate so many warships? Donovan still asserted.
The intelligence departments have a very thorough understanding of China's economic and financial situation, and even the vast majority of those engaged in economic and financial affairs in China are related to the West, Britain and the United States.
Although he will not betray the country and become a traitor, some intelligence information can still be collected from those Chinese people who are not very vigilant in normal exchanges, and even some confidential things can be roughly understood. Just like China's military spending, which accounts for relatively much of the government's finances, is relatively transparent, experienced Western economists can quickly analyze China's approximate military spending.
Although there is a big discrepancy between the figures and the actual military spending because of the nuclear bomb, nuclear power, supercomputer and other secret projects, at least the final figure is not enough to purchase so many warships.
That was enough to bring down Huaxia's finances. Even the cost of self-construction is not something that Huaxia's finances can support after deducting various harsh taxes such as agricultural taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
The Americans did not even think about building the Huaxia themselves.
Similar to the Midway-class aircraft carriers, comparable to the Montana-class battleships, these world's most high-end industrial civilization products, if they want to be labeled as made in China, I am afraid that China will need to struggle for many years.
Although it is not clear how close the relationship between the copycat company and Huaxia is, even if the copycat company only gives a cost price, it is difficult for Huaxia to bear it. And the other cost, even if you dig up the emperor's tomb and treasure, I am afraid that there will be a time to exhaust it. The British and Americans knew very well that those warships were all gold-swallowing beasts. Purely piled up with mountains of gold. It was difficult to build even those old empires, let alone the newly industrialized country of China.
"Unless the Huaxia people have found a gold mountain that can weigh as much as a battleship!" The Americans teased.
However, it is clear that the international gold price has not fluctuated significantly due to the large inflow of gold.
The Americans have a special intelligence department to study the source of Huaxia's weapons, and although there is no actual evidence, they still have a preliminary estimate of Huaxia's strength. That's why Donovan asserted that the Huaxia could not have such a huge fleet as 18 capital aircraft carriers and 15 super battleships.
You must know that the Americans at this time only had 15 capital aircraft carriers and 14 battleships, and even at the peak of their undamaged days, they were only of this scale, which was accumulated by the Americans over the years. Is it comparable to the fledgling Chinese Navy?
As for those main Chinese warships that appeared in various places, he was more inclined to be the camouflage of the Chinese.
Because of the exclusion of the FBI, from the very beginning, Donovan's Intelligence Coordination Bureau had a close relationship with British intelligence. After the Americans entered the war, the Strategic Intelligence Service, which had been formally established, worked together with the British Intelligence Service, and there were several brilliant disguises. Especially during the Normandy landings, British and American intelligence services could camouflage a nihilistic American First Army, including warships, tanks, barracks, warehouses, etc.
Just like those camouflage battleships of the Chinese people in Guam, he believes that the camouflage of the Chinese people is definitely more than that.
Both Leahy and Admiral King nodded.
They were not as confident as Donovan in judging that the Chinese warships were insufficient, but they understood that the warships needed people to control them.
Battleships are easy to build, but talent is difficult to cultivate.
Even the Germans could not necessarily handle such a large number of warships, let alone the Chinese navy, which was everywhere like a novice. Some technical tasks can't be done with a lot of people.
"So, we can test it all?" Leahy was the first to understand.
The war in North Africa continues, but the defeat is overwhelming. For the final ending. Everyone is not optimistic, unless there is some other miracle.
And the Hawaiian side. It is even more chilly in the hearts of Americans.
The Americans desperately need a victory to boost morale and morale.
There is no doubt that Hawaii and Tunisia are difficult to open up. However, the strength of the Chinese navy in these two places is very strong, and it is difficult to say about other places.
"If we win elsewhere......" looked at the crowd with their eyes lit up, and Leahy didn't need to say any more.
……
The US Pacific Fleet was the first to react.
The main warships that surrounded Hawaii began to leave Hawaii, where there was nowhere to speak, and headed for the Chinese mainland.
The Americans naturally can't hide such a big move from China.
"The Americans have finally come to their senses!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.
"They're not good!" Fan Chong said with some concern. He is more aware of the reality of the Huaxia battleship. At this time, Huaxia was barely able to control 8 aircraft carriers and 9 battleships. Although the aircraft carrier fleets in the mainland and Australia are not camouflaged as the Americans speculated, they are also a group of novice rookies and cannot exert their combat effectiveness at all.
If the Americans are really forced to come up, I am afraid that they can only retreat.
"Then follow our pre-set plan G, open your pockets, and welcome the Americans to break in." Meng Xiang didn't care about the Dao.
……
The Americans were also unsure of the exact strength of the Chinese Navy, so they could only make up their minds to test the attack in all directions. All of a sudden, the scope of the war ignited by the United States and China became more and more extensive.
The U.S.-Australian fleets in Eastern Samoa and New Zealand were the first to test the Australian fleets in China.
It's a pity that the increasingly powerful Australian Army Aviation fighters make it difficult for them to pose a threat to the Chinese and Australian fleet, which is only cruising in the coastal waters.
After finding out that the battleships and aircraft carriers in China were not the same goods, the Americans put it on hold first. The U.S. Navy, which is approaching and staying in Australia, is not very strong, and it is not much cheap to directly attack those coastlines of Australia.
The same power of the Army Aviation and the Pioneer Cannon made it difficult for the Americans to gain benefits from the guarded homeland of China.
After carefully weighing the gains and losses, the Americans focused on the Philippines and Japan, intending to make a fuss about these two springboards for attacking the Chinese mainland.
When the Chinese submarine in the Philippine waters made the Americans' temptation a little hesitant, good news came from that direction on the Japanese mainland.
The Chinese battleships on the Japanese side, in the face of the offensive of the Americans, directly retreated. Moreover, the Huaxia Army Aviation fighters that took off to rescue on the Japanese mainland were obviously very weak. Thinking of the news that the Americans received some time ago that China had transferred the main force of the army in Japan, some Americans began to question the defense of the Japanese mainland.
Although the Chinese fleet ran fast and did not achieve the expected victory, the reaction of the Chinese encouraged the Americans. More of the main warships of the Pacific Fleet came over, intending to make a breakthrough in this direction.
In addition to some of the remaining strength of the Japanese Combined Fleet being moved to India, some of it was relegated to the Southern Islands with the support of the Americans.
This time, the Americans plan to use this part of the cannon fodder to get a springboard in Japan first, directly threaten the Chinese mainland, and regain the disadvantage of Hawaii's loss.
Meng Xiang couldn't help but be a little happy when he saw more and more Americans coming to Japan.
Compared with Australia and other places, Japan, which is closer to the mainland of China, is more suitable for some nearby layout arrangements.
Moreover, after the Japanese mainland was greatly looted by China, it was almost scraped away, and no matter how much it was hit, it was not afraid of damage. And a fierce battle can clean up a lot of traces, including those of the Japanese.
With just a few arrangements, the Americans were allowed to enter the country, and Meng Xiang felt that it was a little unrealistic.
"The Americans desperately need a victory, they feel they can control it on the Philippine side, and on our home turf, they don't have the ability to attack with all their might. And Japan, which is closer to us, will have the greatest impact after winning. So they finally chose to concentrate their forces to open up the situation here. "Even if there are fewer opportunities here, they will create more opportunities." For example, they were a little late in the land voyage test. ”
After the U.S. Navy decided to test the situation in all directions, the U.S. air power was inspired by this and also calculated a way to win by quantity.
Just as qualified sailors and naval officers are difficult to train, pilots are even more difficult to train.
The Americans were confident that there were definitely not as many pilots in China as they were, let alone compared to the entire Allied army.
Since they have repeatedly failed in the performance of their fighters, the only thing they can count on is these slightly backward fighters, especially the propeller aircraft that number more than 100,000.
On local battlefields, the Americans want to pile up with quantity, but they can't touch the edge of those advanced fighters in China. However, if the battlefield is enlarged and expanded to all the battlefields that come into contact with China, I am afraid that no matter how advanced the fighters of the Chinese people are, they will not be able to take care of them.
Such a large-scale operation has been proposed before. It's just that the Americans are still concerned about the casualty rate and are unwilling to exchange it for quantity. But now that the United States is in a disadvantageous situation, some restrictions on casualty rates are gradually being relaxed.
Immediately following the Navy's all-round exploration, the Army Aviation also put forward its own comprehensive exploration plan.
It's just that there are too many things to prepare, and some people also propose that the plans of the army and navy be combined into one, and the all-round exploration of Huaxia will be carried out, so it is a little lagging behind, so that Meng Xiang, who heard about it at first glance, has to be glad that there is enough time to prepare.
