Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Among the top ranks of the United States, the Navy's support for the use of air power is particularly prominent.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy was Alfred Mahan. This man was very famous in the Lin Yuan era. He was the founder of the "Sea Power Theory". Mahan believed that whoever controls the ocean controls the world , His thoughts have profoundly influenced the military development strategy of the United States, and the United States has since embarked on the road of vigorously developing aircraft carriers.

In Lin Yuan's era, Ma Han's military rank was only colonel, the highest rank was reserve major general, and the highest position was professor of the Naval Academy. A large number of generals with novel military ideas ascended to high positions, and Mahan was one of them. At this time, Mahan was already the commander-in-chief of the US Navy.

The reason why the U.S. Navy actively uses air power is mainly to cut off China's sea line of communication. The Chinese coalition forces are fighting in Mexico, and all supplies must be transported by sea. If the U.S. Navy cuts off China's sea line of communication, the Chinese coalition forces will collapse without fighting.

The most important naval attack means of the U.S. Navy are aircraft carriers and aircraft. As for submarines, they are basically unusable. At this time, the U.S. Navy recruited John Holland, the "father of modern submarines" in Lin Yuan's era, as the general consultant for submarine research and development. However, the level of mute performance of American submarines is extremely low, and it is difficult to escape the ears of Chinese sonar.

As for surface ships, the U.S. Navy is even more lackluster. In the era of Lin Yuan, the U.S. Navy began to build large-scale battleships after [-], but in this era, Lin Yuan’s missiles and aircraft made all large battleships enter the museum. , The United States did not build battleships on a large scale at all.

The United States wants to imitate China to build missile warships, but the technical level has never been reached, so it can only build small torpedo boats or rocket boats. These ships have no advantage in front of the large French battleships.

Mahan is in William McKinley's office, presenting to William McKinley the urgency of using air power: "Mr. President, if we don't use air power, the Chinese coalition forces are likely to defeat us in Mexico, and the whole of Mexico will be defeated by then." will become Chinese."

At this moment, William McKinley's attendants sent Wu Tingfang's diplomatic note, which pointed out righteously: "If the United States dares to use air power, then China will dispatch all four aircraft carriers and launch comprehensive sanctions against the United States."

William McKinley broke out in a cold sweat and handed the diplomatic note to Ma Han. Ma Han had nothing to say and left sadly.

William McKinley was worried that Lin Yuan would really impose comprehensive sanctions on the United States, so he sent Wu Tingfang a personal letter, promising not to use air power in Mexico.

Although this round of confrontation ended with William McKinley's surrender, it made the US high-level officials realize that there may be problems with their previous strategy towards China. This is true from the Battle of the Malvinas Islands in South America to the Puerto Rico War and the Cuban War.

However, the US high-level officials saw that their concessions did not win Lin Yuan's compromise. Lin Yuan started from the battle of the Malvinas Islands in South America and advanced all the way. Now he has reached the doorstep of the United States. A way to deal with Lin Yuan's thoughts.

The fighting in Mexico is still going on. The 20th Armored Division is only landing the No.19 brigade at this time. It will take another month for the No.20 and No.[-] brigades to arrive, because transporting heavy equipment by transport planes is quite a hassle The thing is, the West African base transport troops don't have that much air capacity to transport the entire division of the [-]th Armored Division.

Although the Seventh Armored Division only sent one brigade, the tk-99 of this brigade played a huge role. The tk-99 defeated the main artillery tank of Washington, and the confidence of the French support army and the Mexican autonomous army greatly increased .

Huang Xinmin, commander-in-chief of the Mexican Autonomous Army, hoped that the Chinese coalition forces would take advantage of the victory and fight all the way to Madero's hometown, but Deng Shichang rejected his proposal. Although the combat performance of the tk-99 surpassed that of Washington's main artillery tank, the tk-99's After all, the number is too small, and the follow-up tk-99 will arrive in a month, so there is no rush to attack now, and the top priority is defense.

Deng Shichang deployed a mobile defense formation. This formation puts the 99th Armored Division at the forefront. The tk-[-] of the [-]th Armored Division is extremely mobile and can be rushed to any place on the battlefield within a few hours. Therefore, Deng Shichang The strategy is that if the U.S. military chooses a frontal attack, the [-]th Armored Division will be on the frontal defense. The [-]th Armored Division can cooperate with the Mexican Autonomous Army to block almost any U.S. army.

If the U.S. military chooses to turn around on both wings, the 99th Armored Division will attack quickly and hit the side of the U.S. troops with the torrent of tk-99 steel. If the U.S. military formation is in chaos, the French support army can take advantage of the vacancy and fish in troubled waters.

Deng Shichang's move was very clever. The U.S. military failed to return after several attacks. The commander of the U.S. military, John Pershing, was not a vain person. The division's tk-99 was drawn out, and then the bazooka was used to wipe out the tk-99. Unfortunately, the seventh armored division was as stable as a rock and could not be fooled at all.

The two sides confronted each other for more than a month. The No.19 and No.20 Brigades of the Seventh Armored Division entered Mexico, along with Xiao Yingwu, the commander of the Seventh Armored Division.

After Xiao Yingwu arrived, he met with Deng Shichang. Deng Shichang was arrogant and always dissatisfied with others, but there were two people he admired very much. One was Lin Yuan, and the other was Xiao Yingwu, because Xiao Yingwu was the commander of the [-]th Armored Division. After all, Deng Shichang is a person of this era, and he has a natural sense of awe for such completely unfamiliar things as armored vehicles.

Xiao Yingwu told Deng Shichang: "Commander Lin has ordered me to replace you as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese coalition forces, and your position will be changed to the general adviser of the Chinese coalition forces, responsible for coordinating the relationship between the French support army, Mexico and the Chinese army."
