Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter Seventy-Four(2/2)

The US military's inaction on the battlefield in Fengdong will definitely have a serious impact on the overall situation.

Not to mention, in the case of "no threat in the Middle East", the Republican authorities can appropriately reduce the nerve that is too tight in the North Indian Ocean, such as mobilizing some transportation forces to the Pacific Ocean and strengthening the offensive in the Pacific Ocean. As a result, the Republican authorities can also fully exert their influence in the Eastern Africa region and steadily move south without using the main force. Put pressure on South Africa with an ambiguous attitude. If South Africa can change its mind, the Republic's Navy can connect several major war zones, not only can it successfully enter the South Atlantic, but also go north to Nigeria, and then dispatch attack submarines from here, posing a threat to the US-Russian routes on the North Atlantic.

Of course, the biggest impact is still in the EU.

The main purpose of the United States to defend Israel and Zi Erqi is not to compete with the Republic for the Middle East, or in other words, the main purpose of competing with the Republic for the Middle East is not to the Middle East itself, but to use this to influence the EU so that the EU will not completely surrender to the Republic.

This is also easy to understand. If the republic has the ability to enter the Mediterranean, not to mention that North African countries like Egypt will immediately make the wisest choice. When the vest is held by a bayonet, the EU will also soften. More importantly, the republic's entry into the Mediterranean is equivalent to challenging the United States' hegemony in the North Atlantic. The United States is busy coping with the challenges of the republic and is unable to overwhelm the EU, so the EU can take this opportunity to choose the most beneficial side to itself.

From this we can see that from the perspective of the Jin Bureau, that is, the entire war, if Yuan Chenhao did not expect the United States to actively send troops to Russia and others believe it, then it is worthy of business to say that Pei Chengyi did not expect this episode. Judging from the previous analysis, the significance of the United States to send troops to Russia is very limited. Not only did it not help Russia get rid of the threat, it allowed the Republic to revitalize the situation of the war. In particular, it gave the Republic more choices in the strategic direction. As a military commander with outstanding strategic talents, Pei Chengyi could not see this.

In other words, if necessary, he will even force the United States to send troops to Russia in advance with proactive actions.

From another perspective, if there are great benefits to sending troops in advance, Duchwi should have sent American soldiers to the Russian battlefield at the beginning of the year. Instead of waiting until Russia is about to be unable to hold on and even Moscow is threatened, it will allow the US Army to travel across the ocean and compete with the Republic's Army on the ice and snowy Eastern European plains.

Judging from the situation at that time, Duchwie's first choice was still the Middle East, not Russia.

It can be seen that sending troops to Russia was definitely the choice Duqiwei made under the most reluctant circumstances, so there is reason to believe that Duqiwei also knew that Pei Chengyi's attempt was only to choose the one with the least harm after the two evils were equal, that is, to stabilize the situation at the lowest cost.

This is also easy to understand. You should know that if the United States does not send troops to Russia, the mainland war will likely end with the fall of Moscow before the winter of the Xiantian year. By this time, even if it does not increase troops to the Middle East, as long as Li Dongshi makes reasonable use of the ground forces in the Middle East War Zone, he can persist. In other words, before the US military wins on the Middle East battlefield, the Republican army has already won on the mainland battlefield. As the main force of the Republic Army crosses the Caucasus Mountains and enters the Middle East, the US military will not even think of winning the Middle East battlefield. To this point, the Pacific Ocean is not only the most important, but also the only battlefield, and without assistance, the possibility of the United States winning the Pacific War is zero.

Obviously, sending troops to Russia is definitely not an active adjustment, but a passive response.

In other words, the initiative is still in Pei Chengyi's hands. Du Qiwei's move only delayed the arrival of failure.

Of course, based on the actual situation, Duqiwei's move did have an unreasonable impact on the combat operations of the Republic's army, and even forced Yuan Chenhao to repeatedly delay the attack. Although the impact of the US Army sending troops to Russia on the Pacific battlefield was minimal, the Republic's Navy had to speed up the pace of action when the overall situation changed. In any case, when it was necessary to increase troops to the mainland battlefield to cope with the threat of the US military, the Republic's Navy should be more proactive and force the United States to invest more power in the Pacific battlefield.

By this time, the attack on the Mariana Islands will no longer be a battle action, but a strategic action that concerns the overall situation.

Judging from some information released after the war, it was affected by this that at the beginning of the month, after Pei Chengyi handed over most of the administrative work of the head of state to Jiao Kuishan, he personally took over the baton and directed the combat operations of the Republic's army on the Pacific battlefield. In fact, it was just commanding the combat operations attacking the Mariana Islands.

Obviously, for the US Navy, this may not be a good thing.
