The US military took full advantage of its numerical advantage. They rotated their frontline troops. Each division on the frontline only needed to attack for one day, and then it was pushed to the rear to rest, and then other new troops were sent to the frontline to attack. The federal
The defenders do not have that many troops to rotate, and they can only rely on the reserves to rotate in small batches. As a result, the federal defenders are becoming increasingly tired and injured. At this point, the federal army has nothing to do with the US military.
None.
But the final decisive force of the war is not on the battlefield of this small American town, but on the national strength of both sides. To put it bluntly, this war is that the South China Sea Federation is fighting the United States for consumption. In fact, both sides understand in their hearts that no matter who loses or wins
, it is unrealistic to completely defeat the other party, and it is even more foolish to dream of occupying the other party.
The ultimate goal of the two countries is to have a showdown, and then the losing side will retreat to the second line, and the winning side will be on top of the world. So this is a status battle for regional or world hegemony, not like Germany and
The struggle for living space like the Soviet Union. South China Sea
The Federation attempts to use air superiority to destroy the energy and industrial base of the United States to force the United States to make concessions, while the United States wants to use the size of the army and its powerful manufacturing capabilities to wear down the offensive forces of the South China Sea Federation, allowing the United States to rely on its national strength.
Take advantage to counterattack.
From the perspective of this war that started in October 1941, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose. Although on the surface, the United States seems to be the loser. The war is taking place in the United States. Even if the US military ultimately wins, the South China Sea Federation will at best be victorious.
Just lose some soldiers and then return to Pearl Harbor to rest and fight again another day.
But the actual situation is not like this. The South China Sea Federation is the offensive side. Its front lines and supply lines are very long, and the transportation costs are very high. In other words, on the American front line, every bullet fired by federal soldiers is higher than the one on the opposite side.
The bullets fired by their American counterparts are much more expensive. Therefore, the federal army is destined to be unable to last for a long time in such a very intense battle. If the US military can rely on domestic materials and personnel to prolong the intensity and duration of this battle, then in the end,
The winner will undoubtedly be the Americans.
The federal military is not without the possibility of victory. Currently, federal long-range bombers are continuously bombing the oil-producing and food-producing areas in the central United States. Basically, there are no more than 100,000 people in Texas.
cities, a large number of city residents became refugees, and the ranchers also abandoned their ranches because they lost their market, and began to flee to the east.
This is just the beginning. The bombing range of the Federal Air Force can currently reach a radius of 3,000 kilometers. The ab-3 bomber taking off from Pocatello Airport can theoretically fly directly to most cities on the east coast of the United States. Although that would require lowering the flight altitude.
And reducing the bomb load will increase the possibility of being intercepted by US fighter jets and reduce the effectiveness of bombing. However, if the war situation requires it, the Federal Air Force may not adopt this desperate approach.
Even if it does not bomb the east coast of the United States, the next step for the Federal Air Force is to conduct strategic bombing of the most important industrial areas in the eastern United States. These targets are mainly concentrated in the northeastern United States, that is, near the Great Lakes region, and probably include Chicago, Detroit,
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Lexington, St. Louis and other places.
These areas contain more than half of the steel, machinery, smelting, military industry, chemical industry, automobile, and electronics industries in the United States. As long as these areas are bombed, the United States will basically be half disabled, and will the U.S. government still be able to control the country by then?
It's a big problem in dozens of states.
So what both sides are fighting for now is consumption and time. The South China Sea Federation is rushing for time, while the United States is dragging its feet. In order to defeat the United States as soon as possible, Liu Fu has mobilized all the domestic production capacity of the South China Sea Federation and used it for production.
Various weapons and equipment needed on the front line, focusing on new long-range fighters and long-range bombers
.According to the budget submitted by the federal Ministry of Finance and various departments, the federal military expenditure will increase by 430% in 1942. However, this suicidal war of attrition can only last for 10 months. Once this limit is exceeded, the federal domestic economy will collapse.
If you are seriously injured, even if you win the war, it will take several years to recover.
Liu Fu was not surprised by this result. Before the war with the United States, he had analyzed and compared the national strength of the two countries for many years. The final result was basically similar to the current situation. Once the South China Sea Federation takes
The longest operational time for the offensive is 2 years. If it exceeds this limit, the Federation will not have to wait for the United States to counterattack, and its domestic economy will not be able to support it.
The war has been going on for almost a year now, and Liu Fu is quite satisfied with the progress. However, the previous year's fighting was all about creating conditions for the final blow. The final decisive battle will take place between the end of 1941 and the summer of 42. The success or failure will be
Just look at the past few months. If the South China Sea Federation wins, the world structure will undergo huge changes. The center of the world will shift from Europe and the United States to Asia. At that time, the South China Sea Federation can use the dividends of the war to make up for its own losses.
anemia.
If the United States wins, the South China Sea Federation may be forced to shrink back. Even Australia may have to give up and continue to huddle on these islands, slowly licking its wounds, and then counting on Germany to toss in Europe for a few more years.
In order to buy the South China Sea Federation enough time to recover. If Germany fails too quickly, then the South China Sea Federation will have to face the wrath of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and even the world alone. Whether it can keep these islands is very questionable.
Just when this life-and-death game was about to draw its final curtain, Liu Fu suddenly took a Federal Air Force transport plane from the capital to fly to South Japan. This action of the federal president shocked all the federal senior officials, because Liu Fu
Fu never travels by plane. On land, he drives a modified armored vehicle, and when traveling to distant places, he always travels by warship. What kind of emergency made Liu Fu so panicked?
David is critically ill! He is currently being treated at the hospital at the Miyazaki Naval Base. From the message, it seems that the doctor has given up hope on his condition. As for what the disease is? The doctor said it is organ failure. As the saying goes, he is too old.
, all parts of the body will be scrapped.
Liu Fu was the only one on the plane, and the telegram from the hospital specifically added David's last wish: not to notify Sandro and Helena. Liu Fu knew why without asking, because David found another one.
This woman also gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and David was afraid that if Sandro and Helena saw it, it would be detrimental to the woman and his children.
It was already evening when the plane landed at the Miyazaki Naval Base. Liu Fu hurriedly stepped off the plane, and before he could rush into the armored vehicle that came to pick him up, the commander of the naval base broke the news that David had passed away 2 hours ago.
I told him. Liu Fei did not go to visit David's body. He had not seen the living body. Looking at the dead body would not do anything except cause grief. After sitting in the armored vehicle for a few minutes, Liu Fei ordered him to go to the big house.
Wei went to Rben's house to see his woman and children.
David is a whole round older than Liu Fu. He is 82 years old this year. His life can be said to be a very happy one. He was born into a British aristocratic family since he was a child. Although his family was already in decline when he was born, after all, he was
Noble, he has never suffered since he was a child. The only suffering in his life was the period between when he served in the navy in China and when Liu Fu rescued him and Sandro at sea.
Ever since he and Liu Fu began to cooperate in selling drugs, David's life has reached one peak after another. In more than 50 years, with Liu Fu's help, he has expanded his business empire to the whole world. Not only is he rich, but also rich in money.
There are so many that I don’t even know how many, and they are still honored guests of governments of various countries, especially in the American economic and political circles. They enjoy a high status.
But to be honest, David himself is not a smart man. He exudes the dandyism of the British aristocrats, but lacks the self-control of the aristocrats. In Liu Fu's words, he is treacherous, lazy, timid and lustful.
bitch. He and his second wife Helena had no children, but he left at least 2 digits of descendants in the United States and the United Kingdom. Because of this problem, he and his eldest son Sandro have been
