From a tactical or strategic perspective, the United States is "Maldives and Zan Cheng"

.

Tactically, the US Navy lost a total of 6 cruisers, destroyers, fast transport ships, and porridge combat aircraft. There were 2 aircraft carriers, 3 cruisers, 2 destroyers and Hui Express Transport ships injured. The casualties and missing officers and soldiers exceeded those of us, including the famous pilots. In comparison, the losses of the Republic Navy can be described as "minimal". According to the battle report released by the Republic Navy, only the "Honghu" destroyer was sunk to the war.

The ship belongs to the Indian Ocean Fleet. When the U.S. military aircraft group launched an attack, it stayed behind the fleet. It provided support for two vertical take-off and landing aircraft that performed search and rescue missions. Therefore, it happened to be within the attack range of the US anti-ship missiles. In addition, the destroyer combat aircraft belonged to the Indian Ocean Fleet. Among them, there were also vomiting aircraft belonging to the first wave of attack aircraft group. The officers and soldiers who died said, "On the Honghu" were only two ugly officers and soldiers who survived. All the others were killed.

Relatively speaking, the US military's tactical failure is nothing.

In any case, the navy is a strategic branch, so the naval warfare also cares more about strategic influence than some small tactical success or failure. Take World War II as an example. Although in the Coral Sea Navy's Navy's Navy's USS Lexington aircraft carrier and heavy "York City" aircraft carrier, the Japanese Navy's only light aircraft carrier "Yangfeng" sunk, and the broken fleet aircraft carrier was only injured. Therefore, the Japanese Navy won a tactical victory, but the direct consequence of this naval battle was that the "Ruihe" and "Shokhe" lost the opportunity to participate in the Midway naval battle. In this naval battle that determines the direction of the war, if the Japanese Navy had two more fleet aircraft carriers, the battle results were likely to be completely different. Therefore, the Japanese Navy actually lost the Coral Sea naval battle, at least strategically lost.

It can be said that the US Navy's strategic defeat in the "Maldives Naval Battle" has a more far-reaching impact.

Although after the naval battle, the US Navy still had the ability to fight aircraft carriers. And the remaining escort warships were enough to form a battle group for aircraft carriers. However, for the US military, it had lost the ability to compete with the Republic's Navy for sea control, especially the North Indian Ocean.

Based on the reality, after the naval war, the US fleet could only retreat south, whether to travel to South Africa or to Australia in the south wind belt. The ministry could not cover the central Indian Ocean in the short term. It is true that many days later, the Republic Marines, supported by the fleet and the shore-based aviation, boarded Digo Garcia, and only dispatched Red Mouth troops equivalent to 4 combat battalions. Within three days, the desperate US troops on the island surrendered and completed the combat mission of capturing Mago Garcia. More importantly, within the next month, the Republic Marines turned Mago Garcia back into a military base.

In other words, by late tomorrow, Digo Garcia had become a military fortress of the Republic's Navy in the central Indian Ocean.

At this point, the US Navy has actually lost the basic conditions for fighting for hegemony.

It can be seen from the map that Digo Garcia has an irreplaceable position in the US Indian Ocean strategy. It not only guards the military fortresses in the central Indian Ocean, but also connects Djibouti and Australia. As the US authorities have to make a choice, either station troops in Djibouti and defend the Red Sea estuary, or strengthen the defense of Australia's west coast and defend the Australian continent. Of course, the US authorities have made a choice that let the fleet retreat southward after defeat and not retreat westward is the US choice. Although from a military perspective, unless attacked by intensive groups, the US military will definitely not retreat from Djibouti.

.No matter what, as long as the US military is still in Djibouti, the Republic's navy and ships will not be able to enter and exit the Red Sea freely. It is unlikely that Sudan will be used effectively to control Egypt. More importantly, in Egypt, the Suez Canal can be used, and Djibouti can be reinforced from the Mediterranean, thus turning Djibouti into an outer military fortress that protects the Mediterranean. However, according to the actual situation at that time, no matter how determined the US military was, it was impossible to defend Djibouti after losing the sea control power of the Indian Ocean. The same was true for the subsequent battle situation. The US military in Djibouti only persisted until late March, and took the initiative to retreat under the threat of the Republic's fleet and hundreds of thousands of intensive group troops.

After losing Djibouti, the presence of the US military in the western Indian Ocean became meaningless.

Bi., Gan Zheng

In fact, in early March, when the Republic made the decision to attack Djibouti, the Seychelles authorities announced the deportation of American soldiers in their territory and permanently

Affected by this, South Africa announced at the end of March

It is undeniable that South Africa's choice actually helped the United States, not harmed the United States. In the case of the end of March, if South Africa did not declare a military strike to the Republic, you should know that the Republic had occupied Djibouti at that time and controlled the passages to and from the Red Sea. Because the Republic had a close relationship with Egypt, as long as Egypt remained neutral, the Republic would not rush to go north to compete with the United States for control of the Suez Canal. In fact, North Africa has always been the sphere of influence of Europe. In the case of ambiguous attitudes in the EU, Egypt has no reason not to be guaranteed. The Eastern Africa region has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Republic. From Sudan to Mozambique, basically all eastern African countries are allied or friendly countries of the Republic. Even if they are subject to the poor infrastructure on the African continent, especially Mosan

With the transportation conditions of Bicco, the Republic's army could not go south by land. After the Seychelles expelled the US army and the Republic took the absolute sea control of the Western Indian Ocean, the Republic's army could also go south by sea. With the attacking ability of the Republic's naval fleet, it was difficult to defeat South Africa in a short period of time. It could also be used 2 to 3 land brigades to capture Cape Town or Port Elizabeth at the southern end of South Africa and obtain a springboard to enter the South Atlantic. Relatively speaking, due to the restraint of Argentina in South America, the US Navy could not blatantly move south. The resistance to entering South Africa is definitely much greater than that of the Republic, so it is difficult to stop the Republic's pace in South Africa. From this, it can be seen that the old, the first, the first time was to temporarily block the hearts of the country's military's South Atlantic. It has won the United States time to prepare for war.

Of course, South African insurance

From the Republic's standpoint, when the United States has already fought on its third front and the United States is transporting troops to the Middle East, it will inevitably provoke war in the region, and there is no reason to burn the war to the Southern Atlantic Ocean. More importantly, the US military did not intend to go south to deal with Argentina at that time, and did not even win over Argentina's neighbors. Therefore, Argentina, a member of the intensive group, did not require the Republic to send troops to the South Atlantic immediately, but just hoped that the Republic could maintain sufficient troops in the Indian Ocean, that is, to reinforce Argentina at any time. In this way, the Republic's authorities would definitely not go south to South Africa as their top priority, or even regard it as a task.

Everyone knows that at this point, the focus on the Indian Ocean has shifted from the ocean to the land.

As long as the Republic does not intend to enter the Mediterranean and the EU does not want to offend the United States on the issue of war, it will continue to maintain the high and low.

That's right, in early February, Pei Chengyi summoned Li Dongshi back and deployed the task in person.

In any case, Li Dongshi is the commander of the Middle East War Zone, and among the Republic Army, except Yuan Chenhao, the older generation generals such as Ling Yunxiao, who had the most practical experience and the most promising development, had long retired. More importantly, Li Dongshi was a "general that can make people feel at ease". Not to mention anything else, Pei Chengyi's ability to give such comments is enough to prove Li Dongshi's status in the minds of the head of state.

The problem is that the Middle East War is definitely not just a "war in the Middle East".

In the context of the world war, wars in any direction are related to the overall situation. Take the Middle East War as an example. If the Republic wants to win, the most important thing is not how much troops it invests, but whether it can ensure smooth shipping. In any case, in this direction, it is not the Republic's army that fights alone. Many allies and friendly countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Kurdistan, will send troops. The basic strength of these countries is relatively weak. Even if the local area is not hit, it cannot provide sufficient combat supplies, especially weapons and ammunition to hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops. Only by ensuring smooth shipping can the army ensure smooth combat and defeat its opponents.

To this end, the Mother of the Republic must consolidate the North Indian Ocean route at all costs.

Although the safety of the North Indian Ocean route was guaranteed after the Naval War in Maldives, there were still many safety hazards on the route. For example, Christmas Island, located south of Java Island and Cocos Islands, located south of Sumatra, are very close to the Malacca Strait and Sunda Strait, which must be passed by the North Indian Ocean route. If it is used by the US military, the consequences will be unimaginable. Affected by this, in mid-March, the Republic Marines occupied the Cocos Islands and Christmas Island, and set up permanent military bases on the island.

, ten thousand

Of course, the key is to eliminate the biggest hidden danger, namely the US fleet that fled to Australia after the Naval War of the Maldives.

According to the US military's organizational system, after arriving in Australia, the fleet became the third fleet. Because the US authorities have set Australia as the headquarters of the Southwest Pacific War Zone, the status of the Third Fleet has also been improved as the three major war zone fleets under the Pacific Fleet. Affected by this, the combat effectiveness of the Third Fleet must not be underestimated.

According to the US military, by the end of March, in addition to the aircraft carriers of the Fourth Fleet, the Sixth Fleet and the Eighth Fleet, the two injured aircraft carriers departed from Australia at the end of the month and headed to Pearl Harbor and San Diego on the west coast of the United States for overhaul. They also obtained the aircraft carriers of the Seventh Fleet, and were acquired, including cruisers and three destroyers, and their combat effectiveness was improved.

No matter how you look at it, the third fleet with six aircraft carriers is a huge threat.

Of course, in the short term, the threat from the Third Fleet is not so urgent.

The reason is very simple. The adjustment of the US military's organization has made the fleet more chaotic. Not only does the officers and soldiers need to adapt, but even the fleet commanders have to adapt to the new environment. More importantly, the biggest problem of the Third Fleet is that there are not enough warships, but there is no suitable station. Before the war broke out, the US military's main military port in Australia was Brisbane, which is also the home port of the Australian Navy. Even if the warships of the Australian Navy were not considered, Brisbane could not accommodate nearly 100 ships from the six aircraft carrier battle groups. In this way, the Third Fleet could only be deployed in Brisbane, full of Melbourne and Adelaide. In addition, some warships were sent

Toward Wellington, New Zealand and Port Viagra in Vanuatu. Affected by this, the Third Fleet's operations cannot meet the requirements of the US military, whether mobilizing or assembling. In order to improve the combat efficiency of the Third Fleet, the US military has requisitioned Lord Howe Island, located in the east of Australia, which is legally the private territory of the British King, and plans to build the island into the base camp of the US Navy in the southwest Pacific. The entire project will last until the end of June. Not only will the warships of the Third Fleet be able to dock at the newly built ports of the island, but all the rapid transport ships, combat support ships and other auxiliary ships operating in the southwest Pacific can be stationed on the island.

In other words, the third fleet will not be able to form complete combat effectiveness until the end of the day or early July.

There is no doubt that the Republic's Navy certainly did not want to fight a decisive battle with a third fleet with complete combat effectiveness.

The problem is that regardless of whether the Republic's Navy is willing to admit it, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Third Fleet even if it is used to use the strategic bombers of the Sky Army. It is unlikely that it will even have an impact on the construction work on Lord Howe Island.

Since we cannot take the initiative to attack, we can only try our best to force the Third Fleet to come and fight to the decisive battle.

At this time, the Republic's Navy faced a very big problem. That is, after the US Navy withdrew from the Indian Ocean, the Republic's authorities had shifted their focus from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, adapted the original Indian Ocean fleet into the Pacific First Fleet, and adapted the original South China Sea Fleet into the Indian Ocean Second Fleet. On the fleet number, the Republic's Navy adopted a similar scraping method to the US Navy. With the Strait of Malacca as the boundary, the east was arranged in an singular number, and the west was arranged in an singular number.

Orchestration in even numbers. That is to say, the only second fleet that remained in the Indian Ocean at that time was the core of three aircraft carriers. Although the navy sent the navy to the request of the commander of the Double War Zone, the turtle stolen land was basically irrelevant to sea-making operations. The seats were deployed in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and its main task was to act as a maritime platform for activities. Its main task was to support Marine Corps activities and provide low-altitude support to the Marine Corps, which was to serve the upcoming Middle East War.

What's even more serious is that, according to Li Dongshi's request, after the outbreak of the Middle East War, the Second Fleet must head west to the Gulf of Aden and enter the Red Sea when necessary, so as to pose a threat to the US fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean and prevent the US Navy from supporting ground operations as they wish. Although based on the actual situation, at that time, the US Navy will definitely send more fleets to the Mediterranean or the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Fleet can mobilize very limited troops, so the only ones that can mobilize are the Third Fleet in the Southwest Pacific. In other words, the Third Fleet is likely to take the initiative to advance westward after the outbreak of the Middle East War and compete with the Republic's Navy for the control of the Indian Ocean again.

At that time, no matter whether the Republican authorities are willing or not, they will have to send additional fleets to Edou Ocean, so that the Republic's Navy will have the opportunity to fight the decisive battle with the US military. But at that time, the Republic's Navy will inevitably have a decisive battle with the Third Fleet, which has been fully combated and even strengthened, and no one will be sure of who will win the decisive battle.

From the standpoint of victory, the Republic's Navy must make full use of the precious time before the outbreak of the Middle East War.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Internet had just completed the adaptation and adaptation, not only was it just a change of number, but also had to adjust all supporting command systems. The fleet officers and soldiers were adapted to the new number. The Second Fleet set off from the Tingmali Naval Base in Sri Lanka and carried out an extremely beautiful surprise attack on the Darwin Port in northwest Australia.

According to the combat records of the Republic's Navy, in this 2-hour attack, carrier-based fighter jets threw various types of ammunition, and ship guns threw more than 30,000 tons of shells. Obviously, the escort warship equipped with electromagnetic guns once again became the protagonist. According to the combat records of the US military, in just two hours, Darwin Port was not only subjected to violent artillery and continuous bombing, but also attacked by some powerful weapons. Therefore, the US military believes that the Republic's Navy used some unpublished secret weapons here, and it is very likely to be a weapon of mass destruction developed based on the fifth generation of tactical nuclear weapons and restricted by international arms control treaties. However, the US military did not provide any convincing evidence, especially direct evidence. Therefore, the US military's statement was not recognized by the Republic authorities.

Judging from the situation at that time, the Second Fleet must have been strengthened.

Because the Republic's Navy had not sent warships with long-range strike capabilities to the Indian Ocean before this, when the ones sent to the Indian Ocean were some anti-submarine ships built before the New Year, sealed or rented out to other countries after retirement. Their main task was to strengthen anti-submarine escort and strength on the North Indian Ocean route. Therefore, it can be roughly concluded that the ones strengthened to the Second Fleet were likely to be firepower ships, that is, quasi-military ships that did not have the ability to make sea combat.

If this is true, the new weapon mentioned by the US military is likely to be tactical ballistic missiles on firepower ships.

Although the Republic's Navy used firepower ships when attacking the Russian Far East naval base shortly after the outbreak of the war, and achieved good results, the firepower ships did not use tactical ballistic missiles in this battle shortly after the outbreak of the war. In other words, even if the US military knew that there were tactical ballistic missiles on the Republic's firepower ships, it was impossible to have much knowledge of its specific performance.

Of course, the tactical ballistic missiles on fire ships are definitely not tactical ballistic missiles in the usual sense.

As we all know, the main weapons of firepower ships are electric-touch guns and heavy cruise missiles. Relatively speaking, both of these weapons have advantages and disadvantages. The electromagnetic guns have low combat costs and high fire density. They are very suitable for attacking regional targets and large-scale consumable combat. Heavy cruise missiles have great power and high accuracy, and are suitable for attacking high-value fixed targets that are strictly protected and important hidden targets. The problem is that these two types of ammunition cannot meet all combat needs. For example, when dealing with important targets buried underground, both electromagnetic guns and heavy cruise missiles appear to be powerless. At this time, a weapon with huge power and strong penetration capabilities is needed. Moon doubts that ballistic missiles with fast speed, high mass, and accuracy between artillery shells and cruise missiles are the most ideal choice.

According to the tests of the Republic Navy, ballistic missiles have the highest combat efficiency when dealing with buried targets.

It is precisely this that the Republic's Navy equips firepower ships with tactical ballistic missiles.

Although the tactical ballistic missiles purchased by the Navy are basically the same as those of the Army, when choosing a warhead, the Navy is completely different from the Army. For the Army, tactical ballistic missiles are often actually a supplement to electromagnetic guns and cruise missiles, because the range of electromagnetic guns is only a milk kilometers, and the range of cruise and missiles is more than kilometers, and there is a firepower gap of 4 kilometers between them. A weapon with a range of comparable and appropriate power is required. Affected by this, the Army's tactical ballistic missiles are mostly equipped with sub-munitions to deal with surface targets. In order to bury the targets deep into the opponent, the Navy has individually thrown a cluster drilling warhead for tactical ballistic missiles.

Because the Port of Darwin is the most important military port of the US Navy in the East Indian Ocean. It is also the only military port in northwestern Australia. So there must be many military facilities, and some important military facilities must be buried underground, such as ammunition depots and aviation fuel depots. The problem is that the Port of Darwin is a city with an old population of nearly 10,000. Moreover, most residents of the area do not agree to let the US military hoard military supplies in the port. They do not agree to turn the port into an ammunition depot of the US military. When the US military's underground ammunition depot is attacked and a violent explosion occurs, the US military must give the local residents a reasonable explanation, so the US authorities claim that the Republic used weapons of mass destruction in the Port of Darwin, and it is related to the fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons on time.

Of course, the US military will definitely not be able to produce evidence.

As we all know, the fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons will not produce radioactive pollution, and the explosion power is far less than that of the real nuclear weapons. More importantly, the Republic's authorities cannot announce the specific performance of naval tactical ballistic missiles for this purpose. Therefore, when the US authorities make up randomly, the country can only maintain a "ballistic missile". It is easy to connect wildfire and Chenmo's destructive weapons. Therefore, when the Republic's authorities announced the relevant battle reports, they did not mention that there were fire ships in the Second Fleet, nor did they mention that the fire ships used naval tactical ballistic missiles.

No matter what, what is a weapon of mass destruction is not decided by the United States alone.

In fact, the Republic's Navy's actions to attack Darwin Port were already very restrained. The range of poison bombing and shelling was completely controlled within the port and did not extend to the city. The strike time was between Lingli point and 4 o'clock. At this time, most of the port workers had already got off work, and most of the people working at night were military personnel or paramilitary personnel hired by the US military. It is precisely because of this, the strike did not cause much response.

Of course, the purpose of attacking Darwin Port is to lure the Third Fleet to come for a decisive battle. The Second Fleet will definitely not return until the goal is achieved.

In the next few days, the Second Fleet attacked Port Hedland, Port Kanafeng, Port Geraldon in western Australia, and attacked Perth on Moon Blade Day.

Although during this period, the US Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force also dispatched a large number of patrol aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft to find the second fleet, the US Space Force even airlifted two small launch vehicles to Australia. Six small ocean surveillance satellites were sent to space to search for the second fleet. The six satellites in orbit were not over an hour. That is, they were shot down by the Republic's Sky Force when they were flying the second round of the ground. However, it was necessary to find a fleet on the vast ocean, and it was a fleet that could sail at a speed of Qinjie for several months. It is definitely not realistic. Theoretically, even if the ocean surveillance satellite is used and not attacked, the US military needs to launch at least a small satellite working in low-Earth orbit to continuously monitor the East Indian Ocean waters within a kilometer range to the west of Australia. If a patrol aircraft is used, it is necessary to use a patrol aircraft.

It can be seen from this that the US military's chances of finding the Second Fleet are very slim.

It can be said that this is the direct manifestation of modern naval warfare without the support of military satellite systems. From another perspective, this is also the biggest difference between naval warfare and ground-based battles. To put it bluntly, on the ground battlefield, the advantage of the attacking side is not obvious due to the ability of the troops to move forward. If the defense side can fully utilize the advantages of mobile defense, the attack can be defeated. That is to say, on the ground battlefield, the defense side has advantages. From the previous analysis, it can be seen that in the vast ocean battlefield, the advantage is still in the hands of the attacking side. In fact, this is the core of modern naval warfare tactics. That is, active attack is the magic weapon to win.

The problem is that when the offense becomes traceable, the advantage no longer exists.

Obviously, the Second Fleet's attacks did have certain rules.

According to the war report released by the US military, the attack interval of the Second Fleet was about 4 days, so it can be roughly inferred that there must be a large support fleet of about 4 kilometers behind it, which specifically provides ammunition supply. More importantly, the Second Fleet is a nominal important port city that attacks western Australia from north to south. In fact, Hedland, Kanafon and Geraldon are both veritable Zhagang. The military value is very limited, so after Geraldon was attacked, Perth was bombed only for a matter of time, and the interval was about 4 days. It is precisely this that the US and Australian troops seized the opportunity. On April day, the day when the Second Fleet attacked Perth, they seized the tail of the fleet and immediately mobilized the aviation force to counterattack.

,stone

Although the counterattacks of the US and Australian troops did not have any effect, there were very few bases in western Australia where aviation could be deployed. It was not only difficult to coordinate the dispatch of aviation troops from other regions, but also too late to time. Therefore, the counterattacks of the US and Australian troops were somewhat demonstrative. That is, they told the Second Fleet that the US and Australian troops would not surrender, and they would fight back as long as they seize the opportunity. However, judging from the situation at that time, the Second Fleet was indeed threatened, and in the Indian Ocean, the Republic's Navy was like this.

A fleet, coupled with the third fleet of the US Navy, has been operating in the southeastern waters of Australia. If there is any mistake in the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet of the US military will definitely go to the Indian Ocean again. At that time, the Republic's Navy can only increase troops to the Indian Ocean, thereby weakening the investment in the Pacific. It has an impact on combat operations in the Pacific. In short, in the absence of much significance, the Second Fleet gave up its strike against Australia on April's outing and turned to return to the Trincomali Naval Base.

In the eyes of many people, the Second Fleet voluntarily gave up the best opportunity to attack the Third Fleet of the US Army.

Until the end of the war, many people believed that the Republic's Navy should have allowed the Second Fleet to continue to move south, forcing the Third Fleet of the US military to come for a decisive battle, and taking the opportunity to weaken the Third Fleet of the US military.

Some people even believe that if reinforcements can be used reasonably to the narrow sea platform of the Indian Ocean War Zone, it is very likely that the US third fleet will be killed on the Indian Ocean battlefield, thus causing the US Navy to suffer.

.

Obviously, this view is simply untenable.

Don’t forget that the Second Fleet attacked Australia in April 2000, less than 4 months after the war broke out. Although the Republic was already mobilizing a full-scale war, under the guidance of the basic idea of ​​"war first", the country’s productivity was rapidly transforming into combat power. No one dared to underestimate the potential of war outbreak in the Republic. However, no country could complete the war mobilization within a short period of time. In fact, the Republic’s authorities only mobilized the war after the United States joined the war. So it was less than a month, so the Republic’s war strength was still very limited. More importantly, the Navy is a strategic branch with a very long construction cycle, so the scale of the Republic’s navy has not been expanded and its military strength is still limited. At that time, the Republic had shifted its focus to the Pacific battlefield and was competing with the US military for the sea control of the Pacific. No matter how you look at it, the Republic’s navy had no reason to invest too much force in the Indian Ocean.

Even if these strategic factors are not considered, from a tactical perspective, it is unlikely to annihilate the Third Fleet. The reason is very simple. From Perth to the south, it is the very famous south wind belt. In this sea area, strong winds are raging all year round. Not to mention the fragile maritime base, even warships are difficult to stabilize.

.Kenbao will be affected by the take-off and landing operations of the carrier-based aviation, and the fleet's air defense command will be affected. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no fleet is willing to fight in the South Wind Belt. In other words, even if the US third fleet responds to the battle, the second fleet may not be able to seize the opportunity.

Taking these factors into consideration, it has to be admitted that the Second Fleet attacked western Australia with a unique intention.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the intentions of the Second Fleet by referring to the Republic's actions in the Pacific.

After the Naval Battle of Maldives, the US Navy retreated completely and even voluntarily gave up Djibouti. South Africa and other countries around the Indian Ocean also announced that there would be no major wars in the short term. Even if the United States intends to make a fuss in the Middle East, the war preparations between Israel and Turkey have not been in place, especially Turkey, whether it is willing to follow the United States to participate in the war is a question, so the United States is unlikely to ignite the war in the Middle East immediately. Based on these factors, the Republican authorities have made a strategy to shift strategic priorities and actively launch the Pacific War.

Strategy.

At the beginning, the Republic Army sent more troops to the Japanese archipelago and "stabilized" Japan.

It can be said that this step is very critical. Although by the end of the year, Japan is still a small country with a population of only 00,000, but in the northwest Pacific Ocean, Japan is second only to the Republic and North Korea, and the only East Asian country with close ties to the United States. In any case, when the Republic was rushing eastward, it definitely did not want a fire in the backyard. As early as the first war plan was formulated, Yuan Chenhao mentioned that after declaring war with the United States, he should use military bases in Japan to send at least 2 additional additional speed to Japan at the fastest speed.
