China and the United States are undoubtedly the two most powerful countries in the world. The confrontation between the two countries has brought about tremendous changes in the international situation. Although the Pacific Ocean is vast, it still cannot withstand the increasingly powerful armies of the two countries. If war breaks out between China and the United States, the Pacific will undoubtedly become the main battlefield. Of course, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to cross the Pacific Ocean and defeat a big country like China and the United States. But even so, both China and the United States are working on it.

The United States is the chosen nation, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, becoming its best barriers. In another time and place, neither World War I nor World War II, the continental United States was attacked (except for the Hawaiian Islands). Wars are fought in other countries. The two wars shattered Europe, so that the United States could smoothly replace it and become the new hegemon of the world.

It will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Chinese Empire to defeat the United States in future wars. In addition to pinning your hopes on superweapons, you also need to pay extra attention to conventional tactics. Although, China has already begun research on atomic weapons. However, perhaps because it was too far ahead of its time, it is still being constructed in terms of theory. Wu Haoxuan also knows nothing about atomic weapons, at most he knows some formulas. It is not known how many years it will take to actually create an atomic weapon. This also shows that under the condition that the technical conditions at that time could not be reached, it was undoubtedly very difficult to forcibly develop some weapons against the sky by means of golden fingers. Even if more human, material and financial resources are invested, it may not be successful. Of course, Wu Haoxuan was not in a hurry. It's still early, more than a decade before the next world war breaks out. With the advancement of science and technology, the empire will definitely be able to develop atomic weapons before other countries. This is not only because the empire started earlier than other countries, but also because many of the world's leading scientists in this field have been invited to China's atomic research institute. Of course, quite a few of them were forced. There are also many people who have been sent to God because they refuse to cooperate with the Empire. This will undoubtedly slow down the development of atomic weapons by other countries to a certain extent.

In terms of conventional warfare, the biggest problem for the Chinese Empire to defeat the United States is the vast Pacific Ocean. However, the Chinese Empire was not without the ability to defeat the United States. If we can use the same method as Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in another time and space, the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy will be severely damaged in one fell swoop. You will be able to gain sea supremacy in the Pacific region. In another time and space, the mistakes made by Japan during the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor would never be made again by the Imperial Navy under Wu Haoxuan's suggestion. In addition, the strength of the Imperial Navy was much stronger than that of the Japanese Navy. Therefore, the Imperial Navy could not only sneak attack Pearl Harbor, but also land directly on the Hawaiian Islands and occupy it. In this way, it will be able to have a solid base on the west coast of the United States. If the United States wants to enter the ocean again and confront China, it will have to attack Hawaii. The empire could have strengthened Hawaii's defenses, and used Hawaii as bait to attract the United States to attack it, constantly depleting their strength.

In addition, the Empire's colonies in the Pacific will also allow the Empire to have a large number of airfields and forts in the Pacific. In future wars, the Empire could use these airfields as bases to strengthen its control over the Pacific.

If necessary, a surprise attack on the Panama Canal can also be launched, and the canal can be blown up by carrier-based aircraft. In this case, the US Navy would have to bypass South America if it wanted to go from the east coast to the west coast. Not only would it take a lot of time, but it would also give the Imperial Navy a lot of opportunities to attack them. If all the shipyards on the west coast of the United States can be destroyed, then it is estimated that the United States will not pose much threat in future wars. When the Empire's atomic weapons were developed, they would drop atomic bombs directly on the heads of the Americans. No matter how stubborn Roosevelt's cripple was, would they have any other choice but to surrender to the Empire?

Of course, this is just Wu Haoxuan's personal imagination. There may be a lot of surprises. It was too early to say this before the war began. However, Wu Haoxuan asked the Imperial General Staff to start drawing up a battle plan against the United States. This battle plan was still drawn up by Admiral Jiang Baili, deputy chief of the general staff and director of operations. It has already been rumored that after the end of the war against Japan this time, Marshal Shi Tianhan, chief of the General Staff, will retire. General Chiang Baili will be promoted to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal and will take charge of the General Staff.

The United States is also feeling the pressure as China ramps up its construction of airfields and ports, as well as fortifications, on the islands in the Pacific. U.S. President Calvin Coolidge has repeatedly accused China of intensifying the militarization of the Pacific and undermining world peace. However, while the Americans blame China, their own militarization has not stopped. The Americans intensified their military deployment in the West Coast region, as well as in the Hawaiian Islands. At the same time, the U.S. Army also began sending more troops and war materials to the Philippine Islands. If war breaks out, they hope to hold out in the Philippine Islands for a longer period of time so that they can hold back more Chinese troops.

Of course, the empire is willing to see this kind of death-seeking behavior of the Americans. The more troops the Americans deployed to the Philippines, the more the empire would be able to inflict greater damage on the Americans in the early stages of the war, so that the empire could weaken the Americans' military power.

The confrontation between China and the United States in the Pacific has made the situation in the Pacific more and more tense. Many people are speculating about exactly when the war will break out. Of course, China and the United States are still exercising restraint and are not letting things unfold. Neither country wants to go to war anytime soon.

The transformation of Japan by the Chinese Empire is also underway, and good results have already been achieved.

By the end of December 4621, the Japanese army had surrendered. On the one hand, the edict of the Japanese emperor made these Japanese officers and soldiers not have much choice. On the other hand, there was the strong military pressure of the Chinese Empire. If they continue to resist, what awaits them will be utterly destroyed. In order to survive, many Japanese had to surrender. At least in this way, you can save your own life.

Filling the stomachs of tens of millions of Japanese is undoubtedly a difficult task. Fortunately, the empire had long stored a large amount of grain. Every day, there are hundreds of merchant ships traveling between China and Japan. These merchant ships are all transporting grain.

However, the Japanese are very poor, and it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to use money to buy these grains. Therefore, the empire did not take the opportunity to sell at a high price, but only slightly higher than the price of grain at home. This is already a very low price for the Japanese. After all, food prices in Japan have been running at high levels for the past few years. In order to seize the wealth in the hands of the people, use it to develop armaments, and confront China, the Japanese government deliberately raised the price of grain, so that many Japanese had to use all their income to buy food. Even so, many Japanese people do not have enough to eat, and people often starve to death.

The Chinese Empire supplied grain at low prices, which undoubtedly made all the Japanese very happy. For the first time, they thought, the Chinese Empire did not seem so odious either.

Of course, due to the dual effects of war and earthquakes, a large number of Japanese companies went bankrupt, and many people were unemployed. They simply don't have money to buy food. Many families have begun to exchange gold and silver jewelry for food. As long as you can eat enough and don't starve to death, those gold and silver jewelry are useless to keep.

In addition, in order to make these Japanese further fall into the empire. The Imperial Governor-General's Office in Japan issued an order that all Japanese who swore allegiance to the Empire would receive a certificate of good citizenship issued by the Japanese Governor-General's Office, with which they could receive more preferential treatment for the purchase of grain. Of course, if a person with a certificate of good citizenship is found to have insulted the Empire, detrimental the interests of the Empire, or joined an organization that opposes the Empire, and has ties with those organizations that oppose the Empire, such as providing them with intelligence, food, weapons, etc., they will not only have their Good Citizenship Certificate revoked, but will also be executed.

This policy led many Japanese to distance themselves from those who rebelled against the empire. Although they may still hate the Chinese Empire in their hearts, they must make a choice for the sake of their own lives and their families' livelihoods. They certainly looked forward to the blueprint drawn by the organizations that rebelled against the Chinese Empire. But only if they survive until that day! If they continue to entangle with these resistance groups, then they will soon lose their lives. Their lives are gone, and even if Japan recovers in the future, it has nothing to do with them.

At the same time, the Imperial Governor-General's Office Security Force Command and the Ministry of the Interior also issued orders that the Empire would reward those who reported rebellion against the Imperial organization and guarantee their safety. At the same time, work can also be arranged. This attracts more Japanese people. In order to live a good life, they do not hesitate to report those rebels and use the blood of their compatriots to make a good life for themselves and their families.

Under this series of orders from the Imperial Governor-General's Office in Japan, those Japanese, for the sake of their own interests, made choices. Whether voluntarily or forced, the living space of the Japanese resistance organizations has been greatly compressed. (To be continued.) )
