The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"It seems that our opponents are well prepared! About a few years ago, they were already planning today's action? It's ridiculous that we still treat him as a little white rabbit with no threat."

Roosevelt's association ability is also quite rich, and he immediately turned his thinking to conspiracy theories.Otherwise, just explain why Zhu Bin can get so many American goods so easily, obviously they are all shipped from the nearby secret base!

Mr. Hopkins bowed his head without shame. It seemed that he, as the number one think tank, had been giving Roosevelt ideas to strengthen cooperation with the Chinese.Before the war, the analysis of China's situation was obviously biased.Although I don’t know anyone who made this mistake, almost covering the entire upper class of the United States, but there is an old saying that the wise are those who dare to admit failure.

Of course, Mr. President cannot be blamed. After a short silence, he adjusted his mood and calmly analyzed: "Maybe the Chinese are not as smart as we thought. Combining the wisdom of all the smart people in the United States, the conclusion should be There won’t be too much deviation, maybe it’s more appropriate to judge it by coincidence. I prefer to think that the current situation has been caused by accidents. This should not be the responsibility of you or other people. It’s all because of the world The development of the situation is not easy to grasp. Looking at it from another angle, I think the Chinese are not ready for a full-scale attack, it is too hasty, too crazy, and it will not do them any good."

Roosevelt nodded slightly, which made sense.

The United States is not Japan. It has money, weapons, industry, population, and huge land depth.There is also a geographical distance of half the earth. It can be said that it has all the natural advantages of not being attacked or even defeated. As long as it is not crazy and stupid, no one will easily launch a war that is doomed to failure.

Even if China has reached the same economic base as the United States, it will attack across the sea.The possibility of ultimate victory is also almost non-existent.Americans are not primitive Indians, but a unified world's largest country with a population of 3000 million, which can meet all the conditions for long-term existence.

However, what Hopkins said can also be misinterpreted as if the United States did not take the initiative to poke Zhu Bin's ass, it would not have attracted a strong counterattack and led to today's fiasco. Some people should be responsible for it?

No, no, that's not what Americans think about.Adhering to the colonial aggression civilization that Western whites robbed the world to get rich, and combined the Jewish money supremacy without any moral and ethical lower limit in order to make money.And the United States, which was born from the killing of tens of millions of Indians, swindling and robbery, believes in its bones that launching wars, tearing up treaties, and breaking promises in order to obtain huge profits are all reasonable, legal and logical actions. [

In the eyes of Americans, the Chinese are backward, inferior, and ignorant, so they should be bullied and enslaved.And they did have money.With tech that embodies poor wealth, it's worth looting.It just so happens that there seems to be a very good opportunity, so what are you waiting for?Just go up and grab it.

As a result, the estimation error was beaten up, and the Americans would not feel so ashamed, let alone think that they had done something wrong, and they even felt that they could ask the other party to sit down and talk.Get rid of this matter, and continue to find a relatively peaceful way to continue doing business...

Is this theory weird?At least for the Chinese, it sure is.

The Chinese pay attention to being kind to their neighbors and having friendly exchanges.If you are idle and have nothing to do, you will come to rob the door, this is enmity!Don't avenge people in vain.What if I don't call back?If I don't take the initiative to invade, it doesn't mean I won't fight back!

In short, the thinking of Americans is not the same as that of the Japanese, "I can rob if I have the ability, and it is too much for you to beat me if you don't let the rob".

Now, whether it is Hopkins or Roosevelt, this kind of judgmental thinking based on interests is still in their minds.Especially Roosevelt, during the years of communication with Mr. Situ as a lawyer, he thought he had figured out the nature of the Chinese people, so he was not wrong to make such a judgment.

But Roosevelt did not know that almost all the people he came into contact with were from Fujian and Guangdong. Historically, the thinking and disposition of the people there seemed to be more accessible to the West because of their more exchanges with the outside world.But now the host of the war is basically an alien, and the main body of the battle is a group represented by the orthodox northern Chinese culture!

Adding these two together, the viciousness and tenacity of "those who dare to offend China's heavenly power will be punished will be punished even if they are far away" are written all over their bodies. If there is no enough result to relieve their anger, they will never give up!

Roosevelt and the entire upper class in the United States failed to see this fatal difference, which led to a series of mistakes in judgment.

Today, looking at the pile of things on the table, he still holds a considerable degree of fantasy in his heart.Mr. Hopkins even suggested: "According to the intelligence in the past few days, the Chinese are still unable to support long-term overseas operations. At best, they will stay in California for a period of time. After declaring their prestige, they will withdraw due to insufficient supplies. Go. Even a brief truce is possible if we can launch a successful ground offensive."

"Is it appropriate to do this? A series of previous failures have greatly damaged our credibility. If we rashly initiate negotiations, we will be fiercely attacked by the opposition!"

Roosevelt was a little hesitant. The starting point of his thinking was still political considerations. As a professional politician, he obviously did not raise himself to the height of the nation. The United States really couldn’t think about it for the time being. Who made their history too short?Until now, all the states in the country have not really unified yet.

Hopkins frowned slightly. He noticed Mr. President's thinking deviation and decisively reminded: "Our current top priority is to solve the problem through war and win precious preparation time for further counterattacks. We can no longer let China Even one step forward!"

Needless to say about the rest, Roosevelt himself knows that half of California is justified. If the Chinese invade the heartland of the United States, it will be fatal. Not only his political future, but also the independent states of the United States and even the re-division. Maybe!

Nodding his head, Roosevelt said wearily: "Okay! Let's fight the battle in front of us first! Tell the generals in front that I only want to win, an out-and-out victory!" [

"Yes! I am sure they will please you, Mr. President."

Hopkins made the promise, as if talking about it would do it.And convey it quickly.

But did the generals at the front think the same way?Obviously that's not the case.In fact.When Major General Robert Eickelberg, the commander of the First Army, received the order transferred from the Army Staff, he almost ran away on the spot, pinching his waist and pointing at the sky, cursing: "Go to hell with those damn witches! If wars can be won with words alone, what do we need to do with our professional soldiers!"

Without this damn war, he would have succeeded as the principal of the West Point Military Academy to train some outstanding officers.But the war came unexpectedly, he had no choice but to go into battle, and was even stuffed in hastily to plug the hole, leading a large group of rookies who had just undergone rough training for a few months, to face the battle. The elite veterans - and they are all bloodthirsty troops armed to the teeth!

This is gross irresponsibility for the lives of the lads!Seeing a large group of junior officers promoted in a hurry, holding brand-new firearms that hadn't been wiped clean, Eckleberg felt his brain ache. He felt that this matter was too unreliable!

The U.S. Army is pretty sad to say the least.At this time last year, there were only 18 troops in the country, including nearly 19 Army Air Forces.Another [-] National Guard troops.

This year, the Temporary Military Service Act was urgently passed, transferring the National Guard to the Army for a period of one year, and recruited aggressively in recent months, expanding the total force to 180 million in one fell swoop!Ten times the speed, the overall combat effectiveness of the army, which was originally not so good, has been reduced to a heinous level.Imagine going to war with such a team.Who doesn't have a headache?

This is also the reason why the ocean-going fleet suddenly attacked and the U.S. military had to abandon the defense of coastal cities.It is really cruel that the troops cannot withstand the terrible bombardment of battleships, leaving behind can only lead to so-called massive casualties.

The problem is that whining doesn't help. As a professional soldier, he has no other choice but to obey orders and defeat the enemy.I will not admit that I am timid and afraid.In desperation, with a dull head, he studied the enemy information collected in his hand again, and finally confirmed, it seemed a little hopeful?

Well, only a little bit.There are not many enemy troops in front of you.Compared with the total strength of four armies and six armored divisions on the southern front, it is almost eight times the number of the opponent, but it is not enough to launch a recovery operation against the perverted firepower of a powerful fleet with four battleships. The method is to launch a wide-ranging ground battle with the opponent in the desert southwest of Las Vegas when the opponent takes the initiative to advance.

So, will the enemy launch a large-scale attack?The answer will be revealed soon.

Ten days after about 3 people occupied the two major metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco in the Marine Corps of the Ocean Fleet, more than 20 separate large-scale floating platform factories arrived and took root on the beach to start production.Subsequently, a mighty fleet escorted by the main force of the East China Sea Fleet arrived on the west coast smoothly.

They set off almost at the same time as the amphibious assault ships, but the road was obviously a lot slower, and the total number swelled by more than ten times!Hundreds of 10-ton rounds were almost fully loaded, and the entire Wangzhangtang Mountain Brigade and three heavy tank divisions were transported over. In addition, there were nearly [-] engineering corps, auxiliary troops, and Countless materials and mechanical equipment, as well as motors, factory facilities, dock equipment and ship repair and maintenance equipment to restore basic production on the west coast.

The arrival of so many ships immediately crushed several major ports on the west coast. Fortunately, in the previous bombing, the damage to the port facilities was not too serious, and these big guys were very difficult even if the Americans wanted to blow them up. Ten days After a hasty repair and maintenance, it was barely put into use.

However, as hundreds of large loading and unloading trucks and engineering vehicles joined the operation, the recovery efficiency of the port doubled. In just three days, the main force of the 31st Brigade with a scale of nearly 10 people and tens of thousands of vehicles was completely unloaded. Gao's Wang Zhangtang brigade even took the lead, attacking from the north and south of Los Angeles, crossing Palm Valley, and heading straight to Murok Air Base, where a small number of US troops are still stationed and guarded!

This aviation training center, built in the center of the [-]-square-kilometer desert next door, is the largest and most important army aviation base on the west coast. Since its establishment, it has trained thousands of excellent pilots. Command the defense of the region!

When Zhu Bin led the ocean-going fleet to attack, the urban guards retreated in large numbers.The base did not give up immediately, but insisted on using the world's number one runway facility to continuously take off fighter jets to compete for air supremacy. Up to now, it has not maintained a base of [-] planes.

And the main force of the First Army, and all the troops of the two armored divisions.Just lined up on the east side of the base, ready for battle!

When Wang Zhangtang's brigade's huge armed force of nearly one division rushed in, the hidden intelligence personnel of the US military counted the number of tanks, and there were more than 300 tanks!And according to their standards, all of them are heavy tanks, and even some freaks with two pipes on them almost peed in fear on the spot!In a hurry to pass on the information, Major General Eickelberg's hair almost stood on end when he heard it, and he shouted in disbelief: "Wht?! Can you be sure?!"

This matter is no joke!What is the concept of more than 300 heavy tanks?Does he know.According to Chinese standards, tanks below 75mm are only light tanks, and tanks with 105mm are considered medium tanks. As for heavy tanks... there are still double-barreled tanks. Can this be built and run?

I can't even believe it, it's not the news fed back by an intelligence officer, after a while of flying around.The [-]st and [-]th Armored Divisions, which had been waiting quietly for a long time, immediately took action, and the troops rushed to the middle of the battlefield in two groups.Defend the two wings of the base.The Seventh Armored Division staying in Las Vegas did not dare to neglect, and immediately replenished and was ready to respond at any time.

I have to go!The U.S. armored division has only 228 light and heavy tanks in total, and the biggest one is just the m3 75mm gun. Compared with the Chinese, it is not at the same level in terms of quantity and quality.The goods that were rated as "garbage" by the Japanese allies after seeing them could not withstand the bombardment of even the worst tank main guns in China.

The counterfeit m3 heavy tanks are not enough. In addition to the fallen Patton Second Heavy Armored Division, another Third Armored Division is now on the front line of Phoenix City. I don't know if the effect is good.no way.Can only fight the quantity!

After repeated confirmation, Eickelberg issued a general mobilization order without hesitation, telling the First Army and the three armored divisions: "We have no choice, we must win! No matter what method I use or how much I sacrifice, in short, we must not let China One step forward!"

An unprecedented number of fighter planes rushed to the battlefield first!Among them, more than 100 planes that took off from the Murocco base rose to high altitude, and immediately ushered in the same large number of Chinese war eagles culled!The two sides immediately mingled in the sky above the Gobi, and the violent torrent tore through the sky thousands of times in an instant. Countless explosion points created three-dimensional walls of fire, laying the most gorgeous background for the torrent of steel rolling in from the ground!

Wang Zhangtang was still riding in the "Tianqing Chariot", with a thick carrot-like cigar in his mouth, half of his body was protruding from the top of the turret, his unruly eyes passed through the Ray-Ban sunglasses, coldly glanced at the fighter planes passing by from time to time, Laughing, he poked his little finger at the air force base [-] kilometers away: "Go ahead! Let me level that wretched place first! Damn it, I can finally open my mouth!"

On the wireless radio station, there was a burst of undisguised wild laughter in response. Those were the cheerful voices of the over-excited boys. To be able to set foot on the land of the world's most powerful country and conquer the city, to Boss Zhu's Royal Forest Army, it is a great honor. !

Wang Zhangtang then shouted: "Cheer up for me, don't lose to the defeated generals of the Central Army!"

"understand!"

"Traveler, don't worry! Who are we, how can we let a group of young masters compare to us! Just do it!"

Hee hee haha, totally inappropriate.

This time, it was not only Wang Zhangtang's ace brigade, but also a special brigade from the Central Army's teaching corps, which had launched a mutiny to clean up Lao Jiang's mixed second brigade!

The perpetrators, Sima Jinming and Zhang Yansong, succeeded in their work and became famous. They are destined to become outstanding talents in Chinese history.It's just that what they did caused great public outrage. On the surface, no one dared to do anything to them. In private, whether it was the colleagues in the teaching team or other teams, they all hated them, the traitors who betrayed the Lord at a critical moment. Keep it at arm's length, very repulsive.

Zhu Bin is also more benevolent. Instead of doing the trick of unloading and killing donkeys, he directly pulled out his brigade and reorganized it into the second special mountain brigade, keeping pace with Wang Zhangtang's brigade. When it comes to the North American battlefield, it is obvious that they want to use their foreign military exploits to wash away their disgrace.

Wang Zhangtang didn't think highly of this opponent. He firmly believed that this group of backbones was a troop that scraped the young masters of the middle and upper classes of the Democratic Party. Elite!

However, after he personally trained and armed Boss Zhu, he didn't know how strong the opponent was. To be on the safe side, he didn't want to embarrass him in comparison. He would inevitably be repeatedly told not to lose the chain at critical moments!

The first mountain traveler obviously didn't take it seriously, and it was easier to agree to the promise suddenly.The torrent of steel rolled across the Gobi Desert, and the three armored regiments formed a "mountain" shape to protect the middle, like the scepter of Poseidon, slanting towards the central battlefield where the US military must save! (to be continued...)
