Chapter 54 Strength Comparison II

Looking at the South China Sea Federation in turn, it is bounded by mainland China to the north, India to the west, and Australia to the south. Among these three countries, India is the most dangerous because it is a British colony and borders the Federation on land. When war comes

It is impossible to confirm how strong its combat effectiveness was at that time, but it is definitely an enemy of the Federation. Even if the Indian army is armed with wooden knives, the Federation will still have to set up defenses on the border, which will definitely involve some of the Federation's energy.

Next is Australia. This country is actually a branch of the United Kingdom, but it is now independent. As long as the Federation turns against the United Kingdom, Australia will be the first country to emerge as an enemy of the Federation. However, due to its huge population

Compared with India, Australia is nothing. Moreover, the northern part of Australia is not suitable for human habitation, and the central part is also a large desert. Most of the residents of Australia live in the southeast corner. The distance from the Federation is a bit far, and you can only walk

sea ​​route, so the threat to the Federation is not that great.

The threat is not big at all, but the federal government will definitely invest a lot of energy in Australia, because the federal government wants to occupy the entire continent, so as soon as a war starts, the federal navy, land and air force will attack Australia with all their strength. With Australia’s damn geography

Landform, occupying the entire territory of Australia is also a hard job.

Finally, there is mainland China in the north. Although mainland China, like the United States, is vast in land and resources and has an extremely huge population advantage, in Liu Fu's opinion, it poses the least threat to the federation. If the federation's foreign policy is strong, maybe mainland China

It can also become an ally or potential ally of the Federation. At least it won't be an enemy.

Because although China has been unified at present, all internal conflicts have not been resolved, the battles between parties have not subsided, and domestic industrial and economic construction has just begun. There are also problems on the railway and border with the Soviet government in the north.

Disputes. If under such circumstances, we have to provoke more powerful neighbors, it will definitely be more gain than loss. No government is willing to do such a thing.

Moreover, this neighbor is a country with Chinese as the main body. The two sides are cooperating economically and can form a complementary situation. Liu Fu believes that if the Chinese government can be given enough benefits and hope, the government of the Republic of China will probably turn around.

Supporting the South China Sea Federation is at least superficially neutral and secretly communicating with each other. Therefore, Liu Fu is not worried about this big country around him.

As for the eastern part of the federation, Japan has been successfully divided. North Korea is fighting for power due to the withdrawal of Japan's troops. The fight is endless, and it is not possible to achieve reunification in a short time. Even if Korea is unified, there will be no concrete results for the federation.

As for the threat, the only one that Liu Fu needed to pay attention to was the Soviet Union further north.

Although the South China Sea federal government and the Soviet government still maintain close military and economic exchanges, when the war begins, the federal support for Germany will definitely be indispensable, and Germany's greed for the Soviet Union will definitely not be suppressed. Therefore, in Germany

The Federation could only choose one to support the Soviet Union. There was no need to think about it. Liu Fu

They will definitely support Germany and abandon the Soviet Union, because a strong Germany is a good thing for the Federation, because no matter how strong it is, it will still struggle in Europe, and a strong Soviet Union is troublesome for the Federation, because it is strong to a certain extent.

When the time comes, it will definitely turn its attention to Asia, after all, more than half of its land is in Asia.

To sum up, in terms of territory, population, resources, surrounding environment, and international relations, the United States is stronger than the South China Sea Federation in terms of war potential, and it is much stronger. Does this mean that the South China Sea Federation cannot compete with the United States?

?Not entirely. The South China Sea Federation is stronger than the United States in terms of economic strength, scientific research and development, and weapons and equipment. The Federation’s aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft, tanks and other weapons can completely overwhelm the existing equipment of the United States, and in the next few decades

, this gap will only widen.

From a traditional war perspective, a country's financial resources, strategic depth, resources, the number of troops, the number and caliber of artillery, and campaign command and planning may all play a decisive role in a major war. But in terms of modern warfare,

, acquisition of information, weapons and equipment

Advanced or not, the application of new weapons and new tactics will have a greater influence on the final result of a large-scale battle. And Liu Fu relies on this advantage. He does not intend to fight a traditional war of attrition with the United States.

, but is preparing to teach Americans a practical lesson in modern warfare.

According to the deductions of the federal Department of Defense, this war will end between one and a half to three years. Once more than three years have passed without causing a major blow or damage to the United States, the federal government will be at a disadvantage because of its huge land area.

and population, and a high degree of industrialization will make the United States stronger and stronger in the war, while the Federation will become weaker and weaker due to limitations in resources and population. By then, not only will the Federation be unable to continue to assist Germany, it will also be unable to protect itself.

.

Therefore, the Federation must make a quick decision, first use several decisive naval battles to eliminate the US Pacific Fleet deployed on the west coast as soon as possible, then land on the west coast of the United States, establish a bridgehead, and use large-scale strategic bombing to destroy the industrial strength of the United States.

In this way, the United States will become weaker and weaker, and will eventually have to choose to withdraw from the war.

In this way, in Europe, the Germans, who have received full support from the federation, will continue to fight fiercely with Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries. When both sides are exhausted, the South China Sea Federation will join the game as the final referee. It is not going to

Instead of fighting a war, go for mediation. By that time, the South China Sea Federation, which has defeated the United States, will be a decisive war for both sides.

It is a key country to win or lose, so it is most appropriate for the federal government to be the referee. It does not need to pay a high price, but can also gain more benefits for itself, and the pattern of countries on the European continent will not change.

What a big change, but the colonies of Britain, France and other countries will definitely shrink significantly. This situation is the most ideal for the South China Sea Federation.

Of course, there is often a big gap between what you talk about on paper and the actual situation, but it is also necessary to prepare for a rainy day. At least the South China Sea federal government must first set a rough goal and then move towards this goal. For a country, the development direction is very important.

It is important, and it is even more important to correctly estimate the international situation. From this point of view, it is necessary to mention Liu Fu, the half-immortal. With him, the South China Sea Federation will at least not make stupid mistakes in its grand strategy.

Other countries are not so lucky. Who would have thought that in a few years or more than ten years, a world war that would be longer than World War I is brewing? The country lying in the southeast of the subspecies is

Quietly planning how to make more profits in this war? This is the difference between great men and ordinary people.

In other words, why a great man can carve out a bloody path in troubled times and finally achieve success is not because he hides any peerless martial arts, nor is it because his political skills are better than others, but because he always sees further than others. Of course.

, Liu Fu did not have the qualities of a great man, but the chaos of time and space gave him the abilities of a great man.

Since Liu Fu plans to use a modern war to teach Americans and even other countries around the world a lesson, then the Federation must have advanced weapons that are a generation or more ahead of other countries. As of now, this condition is still met.

The most powerful force in the Federation is the navy, and the most powerful ones in the Federation Navy are the submarine force and the aircraft carrier formation. Needless to say, submarines are the means by which Liu Fu got his start, starting from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1896

From the beginning, submarines became the flagship weapon of the federal navy.

Through these 35 years of unremitting development and frequent use, the federal submarine force has not only become the world's number one in the quality and quantity of submarines, but has also become increasingly mature in the tactical use of submarines, whether it is defensive operations, offensive operations, breaking engagements and sneak attack operations.

, the federal submarine force has summarized and practiced various tactical combinations, and used them very freely. Coupled with the continuous development and improvement of the performance of federal submarines by the Federal Naval Research Institute, the current combat effectiveness of the federal submarine force is still very high.

Powerful.(To be continued...)
