Chapter 916: The confrontation between China and the United States escalates
readx; In order to further undermine the confidence of these congressmen here, Marshall said: "In addition, the Chinese jet F10 has long been in service, and so far there is no fighter in the world that can surpass them, and we have also received information that the X12 program they have studied for many years has entered the final stage, according to the experts of the Army Air Corps, they will be fully replaced with new F12 fighters next year, what does this mean?" This means that tens of thousands of aircraft in our Army Air Corps will become obsolete overnight, and many of the aircraft we have spent tens of billions of dollars on in the past will be useless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The intelligence work of the Americans is still very efficient, although it is difficult for them to get the specific surname data of China's advanced military equipment, but China's super aircraft carrier and X12 program are known, because these plans are difficult to keep secret thoroughly, X12 plan, the research and development process is as long as four years, and nearly 100 domestic enterprises are involved, and there will always be spies from other countries through various ways to know the intelligence of the X12 program.
The reason why the Americans speculated that China would put jet X12 fighters into service on a large scale next year was mainly from the sudden large-scale establishment of a new jet engine production plant by Föller Electric, and based on the size of the plant, it was estimated that the plant would be able to produce at least 10,000 jet engines a year. Why does Föhr Electric produce so many jet engines, naturally in order to equip new jet aircraft, so the Americans judged that China was about to enter large-scale service with X12 fighters.
Sometimes, military intelligence does not mean that it must be known from the hands of high-ranking generals or key figures in various countries, in fact, most of the information collected by those spies is collected through various public sources. Föhler Electric received a large number of engine contracts from the Air Force, and in order to supply, it set up a large-scale production line, and large-scale production lines also needed equipment and production workers. The purchase of equipment, the construction of factories and the recruitment of workers all make it possible to analyze that Föhler Electric is producing jet fighters for mass service in China.
Once they learned the news, the American spies would quickly verify it through other sources, such as from the military and several other important enterprises in China, such as Chuzhou Aircraft, China's most important airline, and Hanzhong Electronics, China's most important radar manufacturer, and so on.
Marshall continued: "In order to ensure the balance of air power in the jet age, the Army Air Corps speculates that it will need to invest at least $5 billion in the development and procurement of jet aircraft next year!" ”
This may sound like a lot, but for a country like China and the United States, where the number of planes is measured in 10,000, it really takes so much money to replace so many propeller planes with jets. The Air Force is a very expensive service, and the U.S. Army Air Corps has spent $30 billion in wars alone to procure aircraft. The US naval aviation also spent more than $10 billion on the purchase of aircraft. And tanks, armored vehicles, cars, artillery, these are far from so much money, and they don't add up to as much as airplanes.
"In addition, we have secretly exchanged a Chinese T15 tank from Soviet Russia, and after tests in all aspects, it has been confirmed that the surname of this Chinese current main tank can be far compared with our M4 tank, and it is foreseeable that in the future we will not only lag behind the Chinese in aircraft, but also in the extremely important tanks in the ground forces Chinese."
"And the sum of these aspects will make us fall into great passivity in the face of the military threat of the Chinese!" Marshall said: "I can't guarantee that war will break out, but if our country does not guarantee military spending, then once war breaks out in the next three years, then I can guarantee that we will definitely lose!" ”
After scaring these congressmen, Marshall also kept his mouth shut, his work today is to exaggerate China's military threat as much as possible, to ensure that Congress maintains military spending on the military, as for whether there will be a war is not his concern, that kind of thing is the president's concern, his task is just to fight.
The war against Germany has not yet ended, and many people in the United States have begun to talk about the China threat, which can be regarded as the 1944 version of the China threat theory, and this threat is real. The U.S. side is not only doing this at home, but they are actually doing it to guard against China's military threat.
It was as if they had been eager to attack the Philippines before they had even taken Australia and the islands of New Guinea.
In order to recover the Philippines before China completely occupied the Philippines, the U.S. Army and Navy launched a landing operation on Mindanao in the face of a great maritime threat.
This situation surprised Chen Jingyun, who had always thought that his strategy had been implemented very smoothly, and he did not expect that the Americans would still have such courage to land in the Philippines under many difficult circumstances.
The Philippines is actually composed of several large islands and a group of small islands, and in the Philippine campaign launched by China in the early stage, it was mainly concentrated on Luzon Island in the northern Philippines, and also sent troops to land on Palawan Island in the western Philippines. Originally, I thought that I would take Luzon first and then take the other islands, but I didn't expect the Americans to move so quickly.
As a result, the situation in the Philippines is quickly becoming complicated!
At the meeting of the National Military Commission, Chen Jingyun knocked on the table and said: "The situation in the Philippines is somewhat responsible, your military should pay more attention, the Luzon side cannot be delayed for too long, the battle must be resolved as soon as possible, and troops must be dispatched to land on many islands in the central Philippines as soon as possible!" ”
"What about Mindanao?" Guan Shijie said: "The speed of the Americans' attack is very fast, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they can capture Mindanao." ”
"Now that they have landed, it will not be good for us to go again, Mindanao will not care about it for now, and seize the other islands of the Philippines as soon as possible during this time!"
"What if we have a conflict with the Americans?" Now that the relationship between China and the United States has become complicated and dangerous, the Pacific War is actually saying that "it is already an inconsequential role, and the focus has changed to the secret wrestling between China and the United States!"
"The troops should try to avoid clashes with the Americans, and prohibit the front-line troops and the US [***] team from launching attacks without permission!"
Now is not the time to go to war with the Americans, although the two countries have now entered the hostility of actually seizing the Philippines, and this reason alone was not enough to make Chen Jingyun decide to fight an all-out war with the United States.
"The plan to land on the mainland is also ahead of schedule, and I hope to see the military's concrete landing plan within a month! If possible, next year I would like to go to Tokyo and have a look! "Chen Jingyun's remarks have already approved the landing plan of the landing, and he hopes that the military can quickly conquer the landing, so as to avoid long nights and dreams!
"And since they are making trouble for us on this side of the Pacific, then we will create more trouble for them in Europe and North Africa, and Germany and Italy will increase their support, isn't it that they are in a very bad situation when they are facing strategic bombing, so that the Air Force looks at the arrangement and provides them with turbocharger technology, I believe that with turbochargers, their fighters can be further improved in high altitudes, and the efficiency of intercepting US strategic bombers should be higher. Coupled with the VT fuze technology we provided to them before, they should be able to shoot down tens of thousands of American strategic bombers before the end of the war! ”
Although Chen Jingyun has no intention of forming an alliance with Germany, he still wants Germany to continue to hold back the attention of the Americans and prevent the Americans from shifting their strategic focus to Asia after the war is over, which is not a good thing for China.
And now the Germans face two biggest threats, one is the shortage of resources, and the second is strategic bombing. In terms of resources, there is now a Sino-German trade line across Iran and Turkey, and Germany is barely able to maintain military production, as for strategic bombing, China has provided VT fuze technology to Germany, but the multi-stage and multi-speed supercharging technology of exhaust gas turbines, which can have a great impact on high-altitude fighters, has not been provided to Germany, because this thing is too important, and China is unwilling to provide it to the outside world before it fully enters the jet age. However, now that the Chinese F12 fighter is about to enter service on a large scale, and the propeller fighter is already said to be about to become fully obsolete, there is no big problem in providing this technology to the Germans in this case.
"Now that the British and American bomber losses in Europe are so heavy, if we can obtain our turbocharger technology, we will still have a relatively large effect in curbing the strategic bombing of Britain and the United States!"
In fact, in order to help Germany resist the strategic bombing of Britain and the United States, China not only provided VT fuses, but also provided some technical information of F7 fighters before.
In fact, the highest air defense efficiency is still jet fighters, for example, the Chinese Air Force's F10 is the main fighter of the Chinese air defense forces, with fast speed and large firepower, which is simply a bomber killer. The Germans' ME262 is not bad in terms of surname, but the biggest problem with their ME262 is that the engine surname is not reliable enough, and the engine life is only fifty or sixty hours.
And the jet engine belongs to China's strategic level technology, and it is more effective than nuclear bombs and B19 strategic bombers in terms of practical surnames, and nothing will be provided to the outside world.
