George continued: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister! I think the most important thing we should do is to say no to that lunatic Zhou Yu in the Middle East! If we allow him to continue to toss, not only will our John Bull empire lose its face, but it will also lose its reputation.
We will gradually lose the interests of Southeast Asia!”
Ques looked at the aggressive George in front of him, and he felt unspeakably aggrieved. k First update: Since the Battle of the Somme broke out, the battle plan between the John Bull Empire and the Gallic Rooster Kingdom, as the main attacker, has failed.
This led to rising calls within the John Bull empire for Prime Minister Quess to step down.
George, who performed well in all aspects, was highly regarded by everyone. In addition, King George V of the John Bull Empire also publicly expressed his appreciation and support for George. If nothing else, the Secretary of War George in front of him will be
He is the perfect choice to be the next prime minister.
Quess also knows that what he says now is no longer as useful as George's. Because any smart person will realize that Quess's time as prime minister has entered a countdown. This is an indisputable fact.
It is said that when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places!
However, as a prime minister who has not yet resigned, Quess still has the responsibility and magnanimity he deserves! He sat upright, tapped the table habitually and said: "You said you urged Uncle Sam to support me.
It’s okay to use military and diplomatic channels to put pressure on the Chinese Empire, but it’s not okay to just send troops to Romania.”
"Our coalition forces suffered heavy losses and were completely defeated in the Battle of the Dardanelles; and in Mesopotamia, our Nixon Army was also damaged there; even more so in Palestine. Our expeditionary force
I also suffered setbacks one after another. These are indisputable facts!"
"To sum up, I think our army should not repeat the same mistakes and waste military power on the Eastern Front. Instead, it should concentrate on the Western Front and fully consume the strength of the German Empire. Leave the Eastern Front to the polar bears and Italy.
, and our country only supports military supplies, which is the most correct choice!"
Ques's words made George want to open his mouth to argue something, but in the end he held back his words. As a qualified politician, different from the green skinned on the street, the restraint must be adhered to! He believes that there will always be
A day of performing alone!
Like the John Bull Empire, the Chinese Empire is also having high-level discussions, and the location is the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire!
Imperial Intelligence Minister Huang Sande was reporting intelligence to the high-level imperial officials attending the meeting: "Your Majesty...Prime Minister and colleagues! According to intelligence from domestic intelligence stations in Europe and the United States, the secrets of the aircraft carrier deliberately revealed by our country have been known to the Allied Powers. The main members of the Allied Powers
The capital is conducting secret research!"
"In addition, by deciphering some of the codes of John Bull and Uncle Sam's country, our intelligence department learned that on the last day of our country's 10-day deadline, the John Bull Empire and Uncle Sam's country may carry out attacks on the Mariana Islands, our gateway to the Western Pacific.
Joint strike, specific target unknown!"
"They want to start a war without declaring it?!" Chen Xiru asked with some confusion.
Before Huang Sande could answer, Liu Chengliang chuckled and answered: "Haha... Prime Minister! They don't call this an undeclared war. They call it an immediate war! According to my estimation, they must have sent the declaration of war in advance.
Go to the Beijing Embassy and submit it to our government within the specified time. They are so confident in themselves!"
"In addition, what Minister Huang Sande just said, the news that the Allied forces jointly attacked our Mariana Islands base will not be a problem, but I can assert that the two countries' coalition forces did not carry out deep strikes in the Marianas.
Strength. Because they don’t have a naval aviation unit!”
"I think their real target is our Manila Naval Base. So why do I say it so arbitrarily? Their goal is the Manila Naval Base? That's because Uncle Sam needs this Southeast Asian naval base.
.”….
Having said this, Liu Chengliang stood up, holding a baton, pointing to the huge world map on the wall of the conference hall and continued to explain: "Because the major islands of the Mariana Islands are relatively large, and the John Bull Empire and Sam
My uncle’s country has no understanding of our army’s defense strength.”
"For this reason, the coalition forces of Guilao and the two countries must invest a large number of superior forces, and with the assistance of the joint fleets of the two countries, implement a wide frontal landing in order to advance quickly. This puts high demands on the logistics and transportation of the coalition forces of the two countries.
requirements.”
"Mariana is 1,000 nautical miles away from the Marshall Islands, the westernmost base of Uncle Sam's country in the Central Pacific, and about 5,000 nautical miles from the mainland of Uncle Sam's country. The logistics supply line is very long, and transport ships can only make two trips a year.
, it is impossible to carry out round-trip transportation;”
"It is impossible for Uncle Sam's country to attack Mariana from its naval base in Continent, because there are many reefs in the straight-line distance between the two, which is not suitable for large-scale movement of the fleet; if it wants to sail directly from Continent
In the Mariana Islands, the possibility of being ambushed is too high, and they will definitely take a detour."
"Therefore, all the participating forces must be gathered in the Mariana Sea. However, without sufficient landing craft and superior forces, it is impossible to organize troops to land on several islands at the same time. They have to capture Saipan or Eniwetok first, and then
Conquer Tinian and Guam;”
"In this way, when the coalition forces of the two countries attack Saipan or Eniwetok, they will face the possibility of being flanked by our fleet. Then they will definitely have to think of ways to deal with our three major fleets before, but they definitely have no way at the moment.
Of this strength.”
"In addition, when they attack Saipan or Eniwetok first, they will alert the defense circles of Tinian and Guam. Therefore, I can conclude that at least at this time, the coalition forces of the two countries will not target the Mariana Islands."
"But Manila Naval Base is different! Once Uncle Sam's fleet stationed at the continental naval base passes through the Strait of Malacca and joins the John Bull Empire's Far East Fleet, it can form a two-sided attack on our Manila base."
"In addition, in the South China Imperial Sea and Feibin Sea, they can also dispatch submarines to monitor the movements of our East China Sea Fleet and South China Sea Fleet, providing strong intelligence support for their mixed fleets."
"The most important thing is that by capturing Manila and even Fei Binhai, we can insert a knife in the heart of Southeast Asia in our country, and the John Bull Imperial Naval Base in Malacca is vaguely entwined with each other. Therefore, I think Uncle Sam's country is at odds with each other."
The target this time is our Manila Naval Base, not the Mariana Islands!”
Since Ye Fu retired from the position of commander of the Pacific Fleet due to health reasons, it was the first time for him to appear at a high-level meeting of the empire as the new minister of the Imperial Navy. He gave a military salute to Zhou Yu and Chen Xiru, and then walked to
In front of the huge map, he took the baton handed over by Liu Chengliang with a smile and said:
"Commander Cheng Liang's analysis is very accurate, but I have a different idea. I believe that the ultimate goal of Uncle Sam's country and John Bull's empire this time is our Truk Island, not other bases and islands."
"I think so. I analyzed it based on the strategic needs of Uncle Sam's country. Truk Island is the largest island in the Truk Islands. It is triangular in shape, with each side more than 60 kilometers long, and in the middle is a 30 to 40 nautical mile diameter island.
The lagoon can really be said to be a natural ship harbor that does not need to be carved."
"The Truk Islands choke the throat of Uncle Sam's army's attack in the Central Pacific, and are in a favorable position to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend. If acquired by Uncle Sam's country, they can support the Marshall Islands in the east; they can echo the Uncle Sam Naval Base in Australia in the south;
The west and north can threaten our Philippines and the Mariana Islands."
"In addition, the biggest threat to our country is to cut off the maritime connection between our country and Hawaii. The strategic position is very important. After Uncle Sam gets the Truk Islands, it only needs to build a few more large airports on it and deploy hundreds of fighter planes.
A powerful fire radiation network can be constructed.”….
"If they want to attack our country's Mariana Islands or Manila Naval Base, not only will they have to pay a huge price, but even if they can barely conquer it, they will not be able to maintain their actual control over it for a long time."
"Because if they suddenly take over one of our naval islands or bases, they will face the possibility of being attacked from all sides by our military. Therefore, if Uncle Sam wants to make a difference, the Truk Islands will be the gateway for it to advance into Asia."
The first stop is also a crucial stop!”
In the warm applause of everyone, Ye Fu walked to his seat with some embarrassment and sat down. But Zhou Yu took Ye Fu's words and said: "That's right! What Minister Ye Fu said is true, according to the John Shenlong deciphered
The high-level cables between the Niu Empire and Uncle Sam learned that the target of the Uncle Sam administration is Truk Island!"
"This time Uncle Sam's country and the John Bull Empire plan to dispatch more than 120 warships, and they are determined to win! In addition, they also transported 400 Page bombers, which are currently the most advanced bomber type of the John Bull Empire.
It has a speed of 136 kilometers per hour, a range of 1,130 kilometers, and a bomb load of 910 kilograms."
"These bombers have now been placed on the Marshall Islands. This type of aircraft is called a Ribale bomber in Uncle Sam's country. If the Truk Islands fall into the hands of Uncle Sam, then with the range of a pair of fuel tanks attached to them, they can completely fly in the Marshall Islands.
Maneuvers between the islands and the Truk Islands.”
"What I mean is, let our three major fleets stay away from the Truk Islands and Mariana Islands waters, let our defense of the Truk Islands and Mariana Islands waters be 'empty', and give the mixed fleets of the two countries
Take advantage of this opportunity!' What do you think? (To be continued...)
