Volume 8 Hundred Years of Resentment Chapter 99 Consolation Resolution
In order to fight in the sea area of Shiguo Sea Basin, the naval battle on 27th of 2027 is "Siguo Sea Basin Battle".
As the first large-scale naval battle after World War II, with surface fleets and submarines as the main combat force after basically no support from shore-based forces, the "Four-Country Sea Basin Sea Battle" was not only written into textbooks of navies of various countries, but also became an important example of studying modern naval tactics.
The strike capability of aviation is undeniable. The Republic's fleet's three rounds of attacks have projected nearly 300 anti-ship missiles in total, which is enough to kill any fleet. The threat of submarines is still very huge. As long as the anti-submarine network of the aircraft carrier battle group is broken through, the submarine can "kill" the aircraft carrier. The warships have poor anti-torpedo methods, and how to defend against torpedoes has become the main key project of the navy. Compared with these experiences summarized from combat, the large-scale use of "electromagnetic weapons" is more valued by the navy of various countries.
Relying on electromagnetic weapons, the Republic's anti-ship missiles successfully broke through the Japanese fleet's air defense network.
Also relying on electromagnetic weapons, the Japanese fleet made the Republic's anti-ship missiles lose their practical significance.
It is still electromagnetic weapons, which makes the Japanese fleet lose its fleet air defense capabilities.
How to use electromagnetic weapons and how to control electromagnetic weapons has become the "military commanding heights" that countries are paying close attention to.
With the introduction of research, major powers have realized that electromagnetic weapons can only be used tactically and strategically! Like all devastating forces, electromagnetic weapons are also a double-edged sword. Electromagnetic waves do not distinguish between enemies and us, and can not only destroy enemy electronic devices, but also destroy their own electronic devices. More importantly, electromagnetic waves are pervasive. Even if they can use electromagnetic barriers to protect electronic devices, they will also lose their due value.
For the Republic and the United States, it is not difficult to develop electromagnetic devices.
What is, how to defend against electromagnetic weapons!
Of course, these are all matters between scientists and engineers, and have little to do with politicians.
When Wang Yuanqing received the local news from the headquarters, he was discussing foreign policy with Yan Shanglong, who had just returned to China.
The attitudes of European countries are very clear. The major EU member states such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain all insist that the Republic bombs Japanese civil nuclear facilities, seriously violates the "humanitarian principle" and leaves the nature of the aggression and counterattack battlefield. They have caused irreparable losses to the Japanese people. Although the EU has not reached an agreement on counterattack measures, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are likely to bypass the EU and impose sanctions on the Republic at the same time as the United States.
"France, Germany and Italy are actively promoting European political integration. Although the attitudes in the UK are a bit ambiguous, in order to avoid differences within the EU, Germany and Italy are not too sharp. Overall, the situation in the EU is very complicated." Yan Shanglong tried his best to be objective and fair, and did not bring much sense of color. "For our combat operations in bombing Japan's nuclear facilities, most Europeans have oppose it. There were hundreds of anti-war demonstrations against our country when Brussels occurred. A large number of right-wing parties demanded that the government take action immediately. Relatively speaking, the attitudes of left-wing parties are relatively mild. The attitudes of European countries are also very inconsistent. Even France, Germany and Italy are hesitant in response."
“Refugee problem?”
Yan Shanglong nodded and said, "I don't know much about the situation in Washington yet. However, from the local situation I learned in Brussels, there are serious differences between countries on how to resolve the Japanese refugee problem. The United States hopes that Australia and New Zealand will make the greatest contribution to host most Japanese refugees; Australia and New Zealand accused Europe of not fulfilling its humanitarian obligations. The EU should make more efforts; Europe in turn accuses the United States of America. It is believed that it is the United States' condonation on the nuclear issue that has led to the current situation. The United States should be responsible for Japanese refugees."
"So, the view of the Union is similar to ours."
Yan Shanglong smiled and shook his head, saying, "It can only be said that European human rights groups have a great influence. European governments cannot turn to us on the issue of Japan. The key is that any country is willing to accept Japanese refugees, or even unwilling to provide too much funds and materials. Other countries have only promised to provide less than 10 billion US dollars in aid to countries willing to accept Japanese refugees. This amount of money, let alone saving Japanese refugees, is not even enough to resettle refugees. How can other countries be willing to be suckers?"
"There is nothing strange about this. The economy has just recovered and the United States cannot afford much money.
”
"And the decline of the dollar's hegemony."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "It is a good thing for us that Western countries argue with each other and shirk responsibility. According to the plan, after annihilation of the Japanese Navy, we will implement a strategic blockade on Japan. I have asked the General Staff to issue combat orders to the Navy Command, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must make relevant preparations."
Yan Shanglong didn't say much, and knew the meaning of "preparation" that Wang Yuanqing said.
At this time, Jiao Bashan came to the study and whispered in Wang Yuanqing's ear.
Wang Yuanqing's brows jumped, then smiled
Yan Shanglong had been observing the expression of the head of state and knew that something must have happened.
"I just received the news that the Japanese fleet has been completely wiped out by our army." Wang Yuanqing waved to Jiao Bashan and asked the chief assistant to stay. "The fleet participating in the combat mission is heading to the supply rendezvous point. The strategic blockade will start from the early morning of tomorrow. I will announce the news in advance. Go back and prepare, bring the required information to Li Cunxun, and prepare to go to New York."
"I'll set out as soon as possible."
"Remember to prepare your diplomatic statement."
Yan Shanglong clicked, stood up and said goodbye.
The speed of the development of the war situation made the Foreign Minister feel a little surprised. According to the initial combat plan, the Navy could only seize the power of sea control in early November at the earliest and then implement a strategic blockade on Japan. On the 27th, the Navy killed the Japanese fleet in just over four days after the war broke out, laying the foundation for the strategic blockade.
Yan Shanglong didn't understand the significance of strategic blockade.
Strategic bombing can only destroy Japan's national foundation, while strategic blockade can completely destroy the Yamato nation!
Although the whole world knows that the Republic has implemented a comprehensive strategic blockade on Japan after gaining advantages, in order to speed up the war process and reduce the Republic's war losses, as long as the Republic officially announces a strategic blockade on Japan, it will definitely cause a strong reaction in the international community.
Wang Yuanqing also knew something, so he did not ask the Foreign Minister to draft the statement.
It was so busy that Wang Yuanqing and Jiao Shan drafted the first draft of the declaration on the implementation of a comprehensive strategic blockade against Japan.
After Jiao Bashan polished the manuscript, Wang Yuanqing went back to the bedroom to sleep for several hours.
On 130 on the 27th, Wang Yuanqing officially announced to the world that from the 28th, the Republic will implement a comprehensive strategic blockade on Japan. Subsequently, the Ministry of Defense announced the scope of war zones and temporary regulations on the public, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a detailed list of materials embargoed on Japan.
According to the International War Law, after the Republic promulgates the scope of the war zone, third-party ships are not allowed to enter the war zone.
At this time, the Western Group of countries had already known that the Japanese fleet was wiped out in the "Four-Country Sea Basin Battle" and the Republic's Navy obtained the sea control power.
At 17:30, the State Council of the Republic announced the "Detailed Implementation Rules for the Strategic Blockade against Japan" through various channels.
There is no room for any third-party ships to enter the war zone with permission from the Republic. The Republic's naval ships will intercept any capable ships in the war zone and carry out boarding inspections. The third-party ships heading to Japan must publish a list of goods to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic and the embassies and consulates abroad in advance. If the third-party ships transport "banned" materials to Japan, the Republic's navy has the right to detain the ships or send the ships to other ports.
Does the Republic have the ability to block Japan?
No one cared about this because the Japanese Navy had lost its combat capability and the Japanese Air Force was dying.
In order to cooperate with the strategic blockade operation, the Air Force strengthened its bombing during the day on the 27th, focusing on attacking major military bases and major ports in Japan, with the main purpose of weakening Japan's military strength.
War is cruel and there is no mercy.
Although the Republic has not announced the dispatch of submarines to carry out the "break-up" combat mission, all countries believe that if necessary, the Republic will definitely use submarines to attack any ships heading to or leaving Japan.
The battle situation suddenly changed, and the Western group of countries suddenly became disorganized.
Before the Republic announced its strategic blockade, the "37-Party Conference" held in Washington adjusted the meeting arrangements, focusing on how to deal with the strategic blockade imposed by the Republic on Japan.
Representatives of participating countries all knew that Japan was the country that could not afford the strategic blockade.
According to data released by Kitayama Shikawa, Japan's grain reserves can only be supplied for 6 months, drug reserves can only be about 6 months, and other important materials such as energy are reserved for less than 3 months. In other words, if the strategic blockade lasts for 3 months, Japan will lose its ability to resist; if it lasts for 6 months, Japan will be defeated.
More importantly, the strategic blockade will prevent Japanese refugees threatened by radioactive pollution from leaving Japan.
Perhaps, many representatives of countries secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this news.
If Japanese refugees cannot leave Japan, there is no problem of resettlement of refugees, and Western groups do not need to continue quarrel over this. Of course, work on face must be done. After emergency consultations, the United States, EU countries, Australia and other countries agreed to propose strategic sanctions on China at the UN Security Council, demanding that China lift the strategic blockade and take responsibility for the Japanese refugee issue.
Without a doubt, this is a resolution that is not much binding.
China is a permanent member of the Security Council and can vote on all resolutions of the Security Council.
The economies of Western countries have just begun to recover and require Chinese market and Chinese investment. No country is willing to impose sanctions on China alone.
