Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

As for the U.S. military, MacArthur saw that the ships were retreating one after another, and instead of ordering the pursuit, he ordered the Lake Superior carrier-based aircraft to retreat, because MacArthur did not dare to pursue them. He knew the strength of the air defense of the blue sea battle group. If the air defense area of ​​​​the warship battle group is destroyed, it will be hit by lasers, anti-aircraft guns and missiles, causing heavy losses.

MacArthur led the Lake Superior carrier-based aircraft cluster to retreat, and the long-range air-to-air missiles guided by Zhao Lei arrived. Due to the high cost of long-range air-to-air missiles, the Blue Sea Ship was reluctant to use too many, so this time only ten missiles were used. One missed, all hit the target, and ten Lake Superior carrier-based aircraft exploded in the air.

All U.S. pilots, including MacArthur, were shocked and accelerated their retreat. Some pilots made mistakes in their busy schedule, and two Lake Superior carrier-based aircraft collided in the air and crashed into the sea.

By the time all the Lake Superior carrier-based aircraft withdrew to the U.S. aircraft carrier, the pilots were already in a panic, and they returned to the lounge dejectedly. No one spoke on the road. The U.S. military lost 45 Lake Superior carrier-based aircraft in this battle, but only shot down five. On board one, everyone had no reason to be happy. As for MacArthur, although he was depressed, he still cheered up and delivered impassioned speeches to encourage his subordinates.

MacArthur's impassioned speech had a certain effect, and the pilots regained some fighting spirit. At this moment, an officer from the headquarters came to MacArthur and asked him to go to the headquarters for a meeting.

MacArthur hurried to the command post. In the command post, Fleet Commander Stanwell was presiding over a meeting. The last row of the conference room.

On the big screen in the headquarters, there are US President William McKinley, Air Force Commander Theodore Roosevelt, Navy Commander Alfred Mahan, Defense Air Force Commander Julio Duhey, and even the Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, this turned out to be a conference call, and the people attending the conference were of such a high level.

At this time, the US military also has the ability to hold video conferences. All the equipment and technology needed to hold video conferences were purchased from China before the Sino-US war.

MacArthur was sitting in his seat, and at this time, Ito Hirobumi said sadly on the big screen: "I want to inform everyone of an extremely sad and bad news. The spies we placed on the blue sea ship have been discovered and captured by the Chinese. , the spy network to which this spy belongs has also been completely destroyed, and we have completely lost the ability to destroy the combat effectiveness of blue sea ships."

Air Force Commander Theodore Roosevelt spread his hands helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "So brave pilots, the next battle is all up to you."

Theodore Roosevelt's words caused an uproar. Everyone, including MacArthur, knew the gap between the US fighter planes and the Chinese fighter planes. If the US spies could not destroy the combat effectiveness of the blue sea ships, then the US military's battle would be difficult.

At this time, Ma Han, the commander of the navy, said: "Warriors, don't panic. Although we are at a technical disadvantage, we can make up for it with appropriate tactics. We have already thought of a brand new strategy. I will read it personally below." this strategy."

Everyone was in awe, and there was no sound in the headquarters, only Mahan's voice said: "In the following battles, we will adopt the 'Strong Fortress' strategy. This strategy is like this. All aircraft carriers are concentrated around the San Diego Naval Base. Don’t take the initiative anymore.”

"Our aircraft carrier sticks to the San Diego Naval Base, and the Chinese fleet can't come in. If they can't come in, we have a chance in the battle in Mexico. According to the internal intelligence sent by the Japanese allies, Lin Yuan's strategy is to attack the San Diego Naval Base. , and then landed in Mexico, cut off the retreat of the Mexican U.S. military, and encircled and annihilated it together with the Chinese coalition forces that were firmly defending Mexico."

"For the Mexican U.S. military, the best friend is time. Our persistence at the San Diego Naval Base will provide time for the Mexican brothers. If we defeat the Chinese coalition forces in Mexico, Lin Yuan will definitely not dare to continue to invade the United States."

After Mahan finished speaking, he put down the manuscript and said with a smile, "So warriors, please do your best to defend San Diego."

The people in the headquarters looked at each other in confusion, because Mahan's "Strong Fortress" strategy sounds like a replica of passive defense. Passive defense is a taboo for military strategists. How can the US military carry out passive defense?

Everyone wants to ask questions, but they dare not. This is the strategy announced by Mahan, the commander-in-chief of the navy, with the president, the commander of the air force, and the commander of the air defense air force on the side. It is obviously the result of the joint research of these "giant". Doubt easily?

Everyone wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so they focused their attention on Stanwell. Of course Stanwell understood what everyone meant, because he also had such a question. Stanwell cleared his throat and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I I have a question to ask, isn’t it passive defense that we stick to our base in San Diego? The passive defense will be defeated by the Chinese army sooner or later.”

Mahan smiled, turned his head to Julio Dohet, and said, "Now, Commander Julio Dohet, please come and tell you why we can implement the strong fortress strategy."

Stanwell couldn't help looking at Julio Duhei. Julio Duhei didn't have a smile on his face, but his face was serious. He said, "Fortify the castle strategy. The only thing you fear is the Chinese submarine. You are in San Diego. , is there a way to defend against Chinese submarines?"

Stanwell pulled his chest out, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the water around San Diego is relatively shallow, and there are a lot of sediment and seaweed. It is difficult for Chinese submarines to come in. We have deployed a large number of hydrophones and anti-submarine weapons to ensure that warships will not would be wounded by the submarine."

Julio Du Hei showed a gratified smile, but the smile was very short and fleeting, and then he said in a deep voice: "Since the Chinese submarines can't hurt you, then the Chinese air power has nothing to worry about."
