Liu Fu knows everything about the situation in port cities on the west coast of the United States, because this harassment action was formulated by the federal Department of Defense with the purpose of interfering with normal commercial activities on the west coast of the United States and putting pressure on Americans living here. As for the results of this action
, it can be seen from David’s repeated complaints to Liu Fu that his company’s merchant ships were captured by federal submarines. Any ship that does not fly the flag of Sandro Group and Schneider Group may be captured by federal submarines. If they resist,
, which is torpedo service.
Since San Francisco is where David made his fortune, he also has factories and companies here. Although some of Sandro's ships have death-free medals, this kind of behavior cannot be done too much. If the U.S. government knows about David
If he has such dealings with the South China Sea Federation, no matter whether he is the richest man in the world or not, he will be severely sanctioned by the US government.
In order not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, David also closed a factory that produced motorcycles and a factory that produced refrigerators. He also left the United States and went to live in a villa in South Korea for a long time. He told the outside world that he was not in good health.
, is recuperating from illness. In fact, he has a Japanese lover somewhere, and he goes to hot springs and other things when he has nothing to do.
David is 12 years older than Liu Fu and is now in his 70s. Although he still serves as the chairman of Sandro Group, he no longer has much involvement in the group's business and has left everything to his
Three illegitimate sons managed it, as for Liu Fu
The shares in the group also became held by Schneider Group. Liu Fu promised David that his children would be treated equally without distinction. As for Liu Fu's death, it was beyond Liu Fu's control.
David didn't worry about it either.
The main reason why the Federal Navy did not immediately attack the west coast of the United States and only took harassment actions by submarines was that the logistics work could not keep up. Most of the torpedoes and aerial bombs of the two attacking fleets had been consumed in the attack on Pearl Harbor, and there was also no fuel supply left.
There are not many, and we cannot initiate another one.
It was a large-scale attack. Even if they reluctantly went to the west coast of the United States to attack, the landing force could not keep up with the pace, and the federal government could no longer provide more transportation capacity to support Hawaii. Australia's immigration work also occupied some navy ships.
The work there cannot be delayed.
Liu Fu was never willing to fight a battle for which he was ill-prepared. Because starting from him, the command strength of the South China Sea Federation was not sufficient. Most of the generals were promoted step by step, and the battles he participated in were basically one-sided and smooth battles.
never experienced
That kind of evenly matched life and death battle. This is not to say that all federal generals are useless. The main reason is that Liu Fu's guiding ideology is to make full use of the advantages in his hands and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. Otherwise, he would rather not provoke the opponent than fight that kind of five-man battle.
Five-way hand-to-hand combat.
In Liu Fu's view, it would be too stupid for a time-travelling person to give up his strategic and technological advantages and fight against the people of that era. This would be to use one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths. Why? So in
Under Liu Fu's guiding ideology, the federal army is destined not to have the kind of generals who stand out through life-and-death battles, and it is also difficult to have the kind of heroes who rely on their personal wisdom to defeat the weak and the strong.
Every war that the Federation faces is calculated very carefully by Liu Fu, and then he arranges an advantage that is several times higher than the enemy, and kills the enemy with one blow. The commanders of the Federation only need to follow the pre-arranged plan,
Just implement it carefully, and at most make slight adjustments for minor changes, such as sudden changes in weather, human errors during the battle, etc.
It is not that Liu Fu has not considered allowing the commanders of the three federal armies to undergo more intense combat training to give full play to their own commanding talents, and then select those generals who are more suitable as frontline commanders and staff members.
But war is not a game. Most battles determine the life and death of many people and the course of subsequent battles. Liu Fu really doesn't have the brains to figure out how to deal with too many unexpected situations, so he still follows the principle of reducing ten with one force.
It's a stupid way to do it. I'm just going to use advanced weapons to bully you. I'm just going to rely on overall strength to crush you instead of relying on the commander's flash of inspiration. As long as we can win the war and our own side suffers less losses, Liu Fu can do whatever he thinks.
.
The battle to attack the west coast of the United States was the biggest challenge that the South China Sea Federal Army encountered since Liu Fu established the Federation. Not only was it far away and large in scale, but the opponent was not the French, British or Dutch colonial armies, but the French, British or Dutch colonial armies.
Defense of the United States Homeland.
Although the U.S. Navy has not yet reached the British Navy's quantitative advantage, their quality has surpassed the British Royal Navy, and they have a home field advantage. Lost equipment and personnel can be replenished on the spot, and once the federal offensive forces suffer heavy losses
, it would have to be deployed from thousands of nautical miles away, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Therefore, Liu Fu decided to stabilize first and not rush to attack the United States. It would not be too late to wait for the federal army to be fully prepared before launching an offensive. Before the war, the federal military conducted many comprehensive calculations and concluded that
The federal army will occupy the active and dominant position on the battlefield for at least one to one and a half years. As long as it can cause relatively large damage to the United States within this time period, the federal army will have a very high chance of winning the final victory.
.
The war has just begun. There is no need for the federal army to take risks in order to gain time. The expansion and rest work at Pearl Harbor is expected to take two months. During this period, the federal navy will have three heavy aircraft carriers to complete sea trials.
By then, the Pearl Harbor base will have sufficient ammunition and fuel reserves to launch a large-scale landing operation.
As for whether the U.S. Navy will defend the West Coast airtight during these two months, or whether the U.S. Navy will use these two months to rebuild the Pacific Fleet, thereby hindering the federal navy's landing operations on the West Coast, etc.
After thinking about it, Liu Fu felt that there was no need to worry about it.
It can be seen from the attack on Pearl Harbor that the U.S. radar system is still very backward, at least the distance for detecting low-altitude targets is very short. Federal Navy radar technicians also conducted disassembly and research on the U.S. Navy radar captured at Pearl Harbor.
, and have mastered their working frequency and working mode. For this technologically backward equipment, the naval department can interfere with it in various ways, causing it to lose its due function for a period of time.
In addition, the federal navy and air force also conducted dismantling and analysis of captured American ships and aircraft to master their specific performance parameters. This provides sufficient data and basis for formulating future combat plans, so as to know ourselves and our enemies.
Only then can you survive a hundred battles.
In addition, as the offensive side, there is a very significant advantage, that is, the enemy does not know where to attack it. There are several famous big cities on the west coast of the United States, and there are even more small and medium-sized cities. They can only take focused protection.
They can't carefully deploy defenses in every place, so it doesn't mean that the attack will suffer. Especially when the attack occurs on the opponent's territory, the attacking side can use various methods to
The defender increases the difficulty of defense without worrying about whether doing so will cause significant or permanent harm to the citizens.
In early 1941, on the two main battlefields in Europe and the Pacific, Germany and the South China Sea Federation took the initiative and advantages. Although the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union were somewhat hastily prepared for war, Germany and the South China Sea Federation had no good way to take advantage of them.
, the war entered a brief period of calm.
In fact, the entire war was divided into three groups. Germany and the South China Sea Federation did not form an alliance. Italy formed a military alliance with it. But the war has been going on for more than half a year, and the Italian army can really be forgotten. They have not made any contribution.
All that was given to Germany was moral support.
For Mustache and the German government, Italy is really a tangled ally. You say leave it alone. This is the only ally that Germany can use in the world, at least in terms of military strength ranking.
It's at the forefront, and its strategic location is very important; you said that you expect it to help Germany defeat the British forces in the Mediterranean. This is really unreliable. (To be continued...)
