Chapter 108: The river is sinking

If the Republican authorities have been suspended for a long time, the key issue is to decide on strategies and make the best decisions, the first priority of the US authorities is to defend the Atlantic defense line...

Objectively speaking, after Tian Nian's crushing defeat, the United States was able to persist in Jin Nian, which was related to the Republic's "inaction" and also to the United States' strategic contraction. It can even be said that after finding it difficult to resist the Republic's strategic offensive, the US authorities not only exchange space for time through strategic contraction, but also hope to pull more countries into the water in the process of strategic contraction.

Among them, the most important one is the countries in Jizhou.

According to some relevant information released after the war, as early as the mid-4 years, shortly after the end of the Battle of Midway, the US authorities formulated a very important strategic plan. The core content of this plan was to take advantage of the shortcomings exposed by the Republic's eagerness to win, so that European countries who have formed an alliance with the Republic but have reservations in war operations stood on the opposite side of the Republic, that is, to use Europe to restrain the speed of the Republic's march. The main means for the US authorities to achieve this goal is the Jewish issue.

In this top secret plan, the US authorities envisioned that the Republic would lose patience through its operations on the Middle East battlefield and thus launch a large-scale attack on Israel. Because the Jews control the economic lifelines of several major European countries, countries on the European continent cannot ignore the interests of the Jews. Therefore, as long as the Republic takes a wrong step on the Jewish issue, it will split its path with Europe and even lead to a war between China and Europe. It can be said that this is definitely not an exaggeration.

Before Europe joined the war, the US authorities secretly contacted Jews from European countries through civil organizations. They hoped to use the powerful influence of the Jews to allow Europe to participate in the war as an American allies and make positive contributions on the continental battlefield. Unfortunately, the Republic's Army's advancement speed on the mainland battlefield was much faster than the secret actions of the American authorities. Before the European Jewish organizations could play a role, the Republic's Army's heavy corps advanced outside Moscow, and Russia's defeat became a matter of time. Because even God could not save Russia, no matter how much influence the Jews had, it was impossible for European countries, especially several continental powers, to participate in the war as American allies. It was even more impossible to get involved in the mainland war and fight against the millions of troops of the Republic's Army without any preparation.

Of course, the active activities of the US authorities are not without effect.

After joining the war, Europe did not declare war on the United States, but maintained relatively friendly relations with the United States. It can be regarded as a significant result of the active activities of the US authorities. If European countries did not declare war on the United States because of their "same roots", it would be a lie. You must know that when the United States dominated the world, it never took Europe's interests seriously, and even turned a deaf ear to Europe's interests for its own interests. Take the wars at the beginning of the century as an example. European countries contributed money and people to work hard, but ended up not being grateful. In the financial crisis that swept the world, they were not only put on one side by another by the United States, but also in the subsequent economic crisis and

During the Great Depression, a trade war with the United States for several years. In fact, culture has never been the main cohesion. Not to mention the Western world, South Korea and Japan were deeply influenced by Confucian culture in the Eastern world, and have great similarities with the culture of the Republic. However, these two countries are not only ally of the Republic, but also hostile countries of the Republic. Between countries, the biggest thing is interests. The problem is that the United States itself is a country without a unique nation, or a subject nation. Therefore, what determines the United States' foreign relations is interests. Conversely, when any country deals with the United States, the first thing to consider is interests.

Europe does not declare war on the United States because the US authorities have given enough benefits.

According to unconfirmed rumors, before Europe joined the war, the United States made three promises to continental European countries such as France, Germany and Italy. First, it would never interfere in the EU's integration process, second, it would recognize the UK's status as a European country, and third, it would accept Europe's financial leadership in the Western world. Although these three promises seemed illusory, especially the first promise, the United States had no ability to interfere in the EU's integration process in the event of its own difficulty in protecting itself. Moreover, during the war, continental European countries did not have the ability to promote the integration process, but these three promises of the US authorities were an attitude, that is, it recognized Europe's dominance in Western civilization.

For Europe, this is definitely not a pie.

To be precise, whether the United States’ commitment is a painting or not depends on what Europe does.

Imagine that if the United States was not dismembered after the war, the European countries achieved integration with the favorable conditions during the war, that is, unified the European countries under one government, as the central world of Western civilization. Europe will surely usher in the glorious prosperity after the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, and may even achieve great achievements like the ancient Roman Empire. More importantly, for European countries, even France, which has always had conflicts with the United States, does not want the Western world centered on Christianity to decline and be marginalized by the rising Eastern civilization. In other words, if the decline of the United States leads to the decline of Western civilization, even if Europe experiences this war as a winner, it will not be a real beneficiary. On the contrary, it is a victim of the decline of the entire Western civilization. In other words, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the European countries will do their best to prevent the decline of Western civilization.

In fact, this is the most important role played by Europe in this war.

Because Europe has always been away from the main battlefield. After joining the war, it was doing things that were beneficial to the United States as a republic allies, so the end of the war and the relationship between the Republic and Europe plummeted. By the same token, many scholars believe that before the war broke out, Europe and the United States reached a secret agreement, at least those interest groups that secretly manipulated the US government and the European government reached a secret agreement. The United States resisted the impact of Eastern civilization head-on, while Europe used a "curve to save the nation"

The method ensures that Western civilization will not completely perish because of the defeat of the United States. In other words, before the war broke out, the elites in Western society realized that in the face of the republic that mastered the highest scientific and technological achievements of the electric power revolution, even the powerful United States is not worthy of attack. Even the United States and Europe alliances cannot defeat the republic. It is necessary to make a choice for the entire Western female wisdom. It is a very high level of justice, and it has been repeatedly cited by war historians. But unfortunately, there is no evidence to prove that this is true.

Anyway, by the second half of the year, the United States accelerated its strategic transformation.

Judging from the situation of the war, at least until the age of the grain, the US authorities have not been completely desperate. In other words, the US authorities have not given up their efforts, and all the United States needs is time to fully burst out the war potential of more than 700 million Americans. Theoretically speaking, by the Jin year, all the war potential of the United States broke out. This is basically consistent with the mobilization plan formulated by the US authorities before the outbreak of the war, that is, to complete the war mobilization in 2 to 3 years, and at the latest in Jin year, the war production capacity will reach its peak.

It is undeniable that the United States' military production capacity is no more than that of the Republic of Qiang

Although the United States is not as good as the Republic in terms of comprehensive national strength, especially in the head-end technology related to the power revolution, the gap between the United States and the Republic has expanded from Xu at the end of the Blade era to around the old year. This gap is enough to have a decisive impact on the performance of the main combat weapons and equipment of the two armies, but with the huge advantages in some fields, such as the United States' available labor force is 30% more than that of the Republic. The United States' production capacity in some strategic resources is also much higher than that of the Republic. As long as the US authorities can fully utilize these advantages, they can obtain no less than the military production capacity of the Republic. According to the war production plan formulated by the US federal government, the output of fighter jets in the past year will exceed 10,000 bombers, the output of the main combat platform of the ground exceeds 70,000, the total tonnage of the launched warships exceeds 10,000 tons, and the total tonnage of the completed merchant ships is as high as 10,000 tons. These indicators are at least the same as the Republic, and some of them are even more than the Republic.

There is no doubt that "superpower" is definitely not a title that can be used casually. According to the evaluation criteria in the middle of the century, if you want to match this title, you must have the production capacity and military strength no less than the total of other countries except the superpowers, and based on the country, only the Republic and the United States have this strength, while Europe only has this strength after reunification.

It can be said that as long as the United States' military production capacity explodes, it will definitely be comparable to the Republic.

The problem is that this mobilization speed is still not enough to lead to victory.

You should know that the Republic has completed war mobilization and brought war production capacity to several peaks. Don’t underestimate the gap in just a short year. In this year, the Republic’s more war materials are enough to crush the United States. In a sense, the US military’s retreat in the Pacific is related to the gap in war production capacity between the two countries.

The key is here.

In order to make up for the US military's defeat in Tiannian, the United States not only needs to meet strategic production indicators in Jinnian, but also strive to improve its military production capacity in Jinnian, and maintain it until the end of Jinnian. It is possible to turn the situation around at the end of Jinnian, or at the beginning.

In response to this situation, the US authorities have also formulated a thorough strategic plan.

The problem is as mentioned earlier. The United States has almost all the basic conditions for improving its military production. The only thing it lacks is time. That is to say, as long as the stalemate strategic situation can be maintained until the end of the three years, the United States will be able to use the huge military production capacity that has exploded to change the situation on the battlefield.

With this major premise, it is not difficult to calculate some of the actions of the US authorities in the second half of 000.

From a strategic perspective, if the US authorities want to maintain the stalemate until the end of the year, in addition to organizing an effective strategic counterattack in the Pacific as soon as possible and block the advancement of the Republic's navy, they must rely on a prerequisite, that is, to drag Europe into the water and let the Republic fight in Europe and North Africa and the European Legions. According to the US authorities' estimates, by the end of the year, most European countries, especially military powers such as France, Germany and Italy, have completed primary war mobilization and established a relatively complete defense system on the Eastern European plains. Coupled with the United States' investment in the Middle East battlefield and Europe's comprehensive national strength, as long as they reasonably mobilize military forces and make full use of the shortcomings of the Republic's inadequate preparation, even if it is impossible to defeat the Republic on the ground battlefield, they can delay the Republic's entry into the American continent by more than 2 years, which will gain enough time for the United States.

In fact, this idea in the United States is not unfulfilled, but it is just that it is unlikely.

Not to mention, Europe proposed to the Republic to obtain weapons and equipment from young divisions before joining the war. After joining the war, it has a lot to do with this strategic vision of the United States. Although theoretically speaking, Europe does need these weapons and equipment, especially when war preparations are prepared and military scale needs to be expanded, European arms companies cannot produce so many weapons preparations overnight. But from a realistic perspective, except for the Republic, it is impossible for the Republic to provide the first one.

In addition to the weapons and equipment that were introduced, the European teams did not have enough time to master the use of the Republic's weapons and equipment. In other words, requiring the Republic to provide weapons and equipment is essentially limiting the size of the Republic's army, so that the Republic cannot continue to attack Europe in the west after defeating Russia. In fact, this agreement has indeed had a lot of impact on the combat operations of the Republic's army, which forced the Republic authorities to fully consider the problems caused by the reduction of the troops when formulating strategic plans.

From a strategic perspective, Europe's comprehensive national strength is not worse than that of the United States, and it has initially completed war mobilization. The scale of the army has expanded several times compared to before the war. The military production capacity is changing with each passing day. It is expected that it will reach 70% of the United States at the beginning of the grain year, thereby gaining the basic strength to launch large-scale strategic offensive operations. More importantly, Europe also has sufficient population resources and abundant resources. With not too bad preliminary preparations, as long as the enthusiasm of the people can be fully mobilized and the military aid provided by the United States, European countries will not have too many problems for two years.

Tactically speaking, if the European Legion can be more proactive, such as taking advantage of the opportunity of the Republic to increase troops to the Middle East battlefield, launching a sudden attack on the mainland battlefield, and then quickly marching into North Africa, forcing the Republic to send more ground troops to Sudan, it will force the Communist Party and the Second Team to turn into strategic defense, resist the attack of the European Legion, and then launch the combat effectiveness of the Yijiang Republic** team. Even if the Republic authorities immediately turn the focus to the west and stop the large-scale strategic offensive in the Pacific, it will take at least half a year to turn the situation around. In this way, the United States can even obtain half to three years of preparation time, so as to launch a strategic counterattack with more full preparation.

However, such a precise plot lacks a very critical and even decisive condition.

To put it bluntly, the US authorities deliberately ignored the subjective initiative of the Republic. That is to say, the US authorities' strategic plan is based on the performance of the Republic before the Jin Nian; without considering whether the Republic will adjust its strategic plan when the situation on the battlefield is not favorable. Not to mention the combat operations of the Republic's ** team, just in terms of military production capacity, the United States can explode in military production capacity in extreme cases, but has controlled many regions and has a strategic advantage. Why can't the Republic, which cannot explode in more amazing military production capacity? You must know that by the end of the year, the Republic was killed, and the number of missing and captured officers and soldiers was only one fifth of that of the US military. This loss alone made the United States pay a huge price for the labor force of a large number of young people.

The problem is that the issues ignored by the US authorities may not be neglected by European countries.

It can be said that mainland European countries such as France, Germany and Italy have been not very enthusiastic about war issues and have turned a deaf ear to the US's hints, which is related to this issue.

Of course, this has a lot to do with some of the unique policies of the Republican authorities.

For example, after Europe joined the war, the Republic began to fulfill its promises in a planned manner, such as providing the weapons and equipment needed to expand its military. During this period, the Republic's authorities did something that many people could not understand, that was, to allow diplomats from European countries to visit the Republic's military factories, and they were all important military factories, such as fighter aircraft manufacturers and tank production lines. This move had many side effects, such as the Republic's military production capacity was leaked to the United States by some European countries. More importantly, this brought a very obvious benefit, that is, to make European countries with weak minds clearly realize that the Republic not only has the world's top military science and technology, but also has the most powerful military production capacity. It can arm and support military forces that are much larger than the current scale. Of course, the intention behind this hint is to make European countries realize that being an enemy of the Republic will only suffer a crushing defeat.

That's why countries such as France, Germany, Italy and other countries have a relatively intuitive understanding of the war potential of the Republic.

With understanding, there is comparison. Although there is reason to believe that when lobbying European governments through Jewish societies, the US authorities made guarantees, especially the potential for wars dominated by military production capacity. However, these guarantees of the United States did not give European countries any sense of security, but instead made European countries realize that even if the United States performs extraordinaryly, it is unlikely that it will be a rival to the Republic.

For the United States, the indifference of European countries is undoubtedly the biggest blow.

Of course, it is impossible for the U.S. authorities to build the hopes of the entire country on a strategic plan that is unsure.

When trying to win over European countries, the US authorities also made the most pessimistic predictions about the development of the war. According to information published after the war, in the middle of the year, the US authorities formulated several strategic plans for losing the Middle East War, including retreating to the North Atlantic. According to this plan, if Israel accepts the proposal of European countries and withdraws from the war by surrender after the Republic Army launches a strategic counterattack, the US military will retreat from the Middle East early and abandon all military strongholds in the Mediterranean region, and place hopes to block the Republic's ** team on the Navy. That is, to do its best to prevent the Republic's Navy from entering the North Atlantic.

Influenced by the particularity of naval warfare, when the troops are inferior to those of the opponent, the only way for the US Navy to ensure the control of the sea on the Atlantic is to fight against the Republic's Navy when it marchs into the Atlantic and defeat the Republic's Navy fleet. Or force the Republic's Navy to give up its plan to march into the Atlantic.

Strategically, it was inevitable that the Republic's Navy would enter the Atlantic Ocean as adults.

Because there is no evidence that the Republic's Navy would give up entering the Sheep due to threats, it is even more impossible to stop because of the US Navy's desperate resistance, so the US Navy has only one choice. That is, to be mentally prepared and actionally prepared for the decisive battle with the Republic's Navy.

That's why, from August to the end of the year, for an old month, the main fleet of the US Navy was active in the Caribbean Sea, conducting high-intensity concentrated training.

For the US Navy, what is lacking is not only warships, but also excellent naval officers and soldiers.

Although by the end of the year, the US Navy suffered casualties in combat, and the missing and captured officers and soldiers were less than 10% of the total navy's total force. However, excluding non-fleet personnel and air fleet officers and soldiers, the loss rate of officers and soldiers of the US Navy's main fleet exceeded 70%.

Corresponding to the huge loss rate of officers and soldiers is the huge proportion of high-quality naval officers, especially senior officers at the decision-making level. Although relying on advanced computer technology, especially computer intelligence technology, modern naval warfare is largely a war between computers. There are not many links that require human control, but in the tactical decision-making stage, especially in decision-making before the war, the human factor is still irreplaceable by computers. And no computer can surpass soldiers to decide the combat operations of the fleet. It can be seen that automation technology based on intelligence only brings convenience in tactical operation links, not convenience in tactical decision-making. Excellent naval soldiers, especially senior officers at the fleet's decision-making level, are still the most valuable asset of the navy.

With the high death rate of officers and soldiers, the only option for the US Navy is to increase the intensity of training.

Fortunately, the US Navy does not lack the training facilities and the training costs. In fact, the "fireships" built by the US Navy are not as speculated by the Republican Intelligence Bureau. That is, the quasi-warships used to support ground combat, but the training ships used to train the main ship officers and soldiers. The US Navy ordered more shark Lu-class electromagnetic guns and put these electromagnetic muscles on the ship. It is to imitate the combat schedule of the main fleet. Let the officers and soldiers, especially the senior officers of the fleet's decision-making level be familiar with the combat process when they are close to actual combat. From the perspective of combat needs, the US Navy does not need to build fire ships. After all, the main attack on the battlefield is the Republic.

, and firecraft are relatively simple offensive weapons. Some people may think that firecraft can be deployed in the port in the rear to provide firepower support for frontline troops. Theoretically, this tactic is feasible, but there are many problems that need to be solved in actual operation. Not to mention other things, the communication and control systems of firecraft are definitely not as good as warships. How to aim at a target more than four kilometers away and fire in time is a very big problem. It is precisely because of this that most of the firecraft of the Republic's Navy's only kilogram and yokilogram class electromagnetic guns on the most recent range, and mainly use the kilogram class electromagnetic guns, which avoid the problems caused by poor information.

While actively training fleet officers and soldiers, the US Navy is also working hard to build the main fleet.

By the childhood month, as the last eight Long Island class battleships announced their combat capability at Norfolk Naval Base, the U.S. Navy had string battleships and formed 4 main fleets. In addition, the four aviation fleets formed by two aircraft carriers as the core, the U.S. Navy had a total of 8 combat fleets on the Atlantic Ocean. To be fair, the size of the U.S. Navy did not exceed the pre-war level, according to the total tonnage of large warships, which was equivalent to twice the pre-war period, but also exceeded the total of European fleets. Question

The question is that compared with the Republican Navy, this point of the US Navy seems too small. You should know that by the end of the year, the Republican Navy will have the main force fleet and the three aviation fleets with aircraft carriers as the core. The total tonnage of the clamped warships is the guard of the US Navy. More importantly, if combat effectiveness is used as the basis, the gap between the US Navy and the Republican Navy is even greater. Based on the situation of the previous few naval battles, it can be roughly estimated that the unit combat effectiveness of the US Navy is only about 60% of that of the Republican Navy.

It can be said that this gap in strength makes the US Navy have no choice.

From a geographical perspective, Brazil's easternmost tip of South America in Cape Brancou, to Freetown in Sierra Leone is the narrowest part of the central Atlantic Ocean, which is the shortest route across the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the dividing line of the Atlantic Ocean, that is, the north is the North Atlantic Ocean in the geographical sense, and the south is the South Atlantic Ocean.

It can be clearly seen from the globe that the sea surface of the Atlantic Ocean is becoming more and more spacious north of this line until it reaches its maximum near the Tropic of Cancer. In other words, if the Republican Navy crosses this line and enters the North Atlantic Ocean, it is equivalent to expanding the battlefield space, which is also equivalent to making the US Navy, which is short of troops, have no chance of winning.

For the U.S. Navy, the Republican Navy must be blocked south of this line.

Affected by this, in the second half of the year, that is, after the end of the West African War, the US Navy took the initiative to retreat from the Gulf of Guinea to the waters north of the Cape Verde Islands. At the end of the year, when South Africa announced that it would lease a few acres of land on Falls Bay and its east coast to the Republic for humanitarian rescue, the US authorities did not overreact, nor even condemn the South African authorities.

It is obvious that without room for maneuver, the US authorities have recognized the Republic's right to the South Atlantic in disguise.

It can be said that this is also the final concession of the US Navy. You should know that further back is the lifeline of the United States. As mentioned earlier, the United States, like the Republic, also needs to rely on overseas resources. Especially the resources of the adjacent Caribbean and South American states, the route from the East Coast of the United States and the Gulf Coast ports to Latin America is related to the survival of the United States. Therefore, the US Navy will defend this maritime route at all costs.

Although the Republic's Navy had not sent combat fleets to the South Atlantic Ocean before the end of the year, and had not even sent submarines, there were more and more signs that the Republic's Navy would not only march into the South Atlantic Ocean, but also directly march into the North Atlantic Ocean. The most obvious one was the several combat fleets concentrated in the Indian Ocean. Affected by this, at the end of the year, the US Navy formulated a work for the Republic's Navy to detour the Cape of Good Hope, and use the port of Nigeria as a base to enter the North Atlantic Ocean along the Gulf of Guinea.

War Plan. According to this plan, when the Republic's Navy has limited investment, that is, the number of fleets entering the North Atlantic is within the range of the US military's attack, the US Navy will take the Cape Verde Islands as a base and actively face the challenges of the Republic's Navy. If the situation is contrary, the US Navy will retreat to the waters east of the Little Andres Islands, rely on the military bases in the archipelago, and with the cooperation of submarines, shore-based aviation, strategic aviation and other troops, block the Republic's Navy fleet in the central Atlantic.

Of course, the US Navy's combat operations still have to obey the US grand strategy.

It can be seen from this that it is also a very wise move for the US Navy to voluntarily give up the eastern Atlantic region and retreat to the western Atlantic waters when the US military retreats voluntarily, the Republican Navy can easily take the Cape Verde Islands and head north from the Verdeschat Islands, and it is impossible to directly attack Britain. It is necessary to use the Canadian Islands in Spain, or the Madeira Islands and the Azores in Portugal to shorten the attack distance of the British to the assault radius of the ground forces.

Spain and Portugal are both mainland European countries. Even if they do not follow France, Germany and Italy to participate in the war, they can be regarded as influential countries in mainland Europe. Therefore, the Republican authorities are under political factors and are unlikely to attack the territory of these two countries. If the Republican authorities ask the navy to launch an attack, it will naturally be better for the United States. Because this is the most direct way to drag Europe into the water. Of course, the Republican Navy can use a large number of maritime bases to replace the position of islands in the offensive position. After all, on the Pacific battlefield, the Republican Navy has already done this.

, and it has achieved very significant results. The problem is that even if we do not consider the time to deploy a maritime base group on the North Atlantic, especially the troubles caused by this, we must also consider the problems brought about by attacking Britain. You must know that Europe is willing to negotiate with the United States on the issue of war and attach great importance to the interests of the United States. A very important reason is that the European continental countries want to take this opportunity to absorb Britain and let Britain "Jiaozhou." Instead of continuing to act as a small follower of the United States, that is, the Republic of China cannot enter Britain, but also has to join the European continental countries.

For political reasons, mainland powers such as France, Germany and Italy helped the Republic to put pressure on Britain. However, it is unlikely that the Republic would allow the Republic to occupy Britain alone, or even let the Republic intervene in Britain. In the view of the United States, as long as the European continental countries have a strong attitude, they can use the pressure exerted by the Republic to make Britain surrender, and then send troops to occupy Britain before the Republic, thereby absorbing Britain after the war. In this case, the result of the Republic sending troops to Britain will not be too different from the result of the attack on the Canadian Islands, that is, they will completely turn against Europe.

Taking these factors into consideration, the U.S. authorities have reason to believe that the Republic will not travel north from the Cape Verde Islands.

Affected by this, when formulating a combat plan, the US Navy can voluntarily give up the Cape Verde Islands under special circumstances and fight the Republic's Navy on a more favorable battlefield.

Of course, the US authorities will not ignore another very important issue, that is, the Republic uses the Cape Verde Islands to march into Morocco, thereby controlling the Strait of Gibraltar and blocking the Mediterranean to win the Middle East War in the simplest and least expensive way. In fact, in the second half of the year, when the Republic's Army showed its power on the battlefield in West Africa, the US authorities recognized this issue and knew that it was the most threat to the United States. It was precisely this that the US Navy placed its main force in the Mediterranean, and in the second half of the year, several amphibious fleets were deployed on the Atlantic Ocean in northwest of Morocco. In name, these fleets were allowed to cover the maritime route from the United States to the Eastern Mediterranean. To deal with those who were born in the North Atlantic Ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean, which was a great example of the fact that these fleets were nominally allowed to cover the maritime route from the United States to the Eastern Mediterranean.

In fact, the total attack submarines sent by the Republic's Navy to the North Atlantic were less than 100% of them. It was almost no threat to the transatlantic route, and it was even more impossible to attack those military transport fleets that were escorted and covered by the fleet, but were actually preparing for the march to Morocco. According to the plan set by the US Marine Corps in an emergency, it only took an hour to put the offshore assault troops to control major cities and military strongholds in Morocco, including Rabat. Because the Moroccan military was already under the control of Prince Hussein, the US Marine Corps' advance would not be affected too much. It can be said that the United States has been reluctant to send troops to control Morocco. It is not because it is worried about getting into trouble, but because it does not want to have a stalemate with Europe on the Moroccan issue.

In order to avoid getting involved in Europe, the United States expressed its intention to control Morocco as early as the beginning of the year of Judea.

Of course, the United States' efforts did not achieve much effect. After the US intelligence agencies assassinated the Moroccan crown prince, France's reaction shocked the US authorities. It is said that, in the situation at that time, if the United States took another step and killed the Moroccan king and helped Hussein take office, France would likely turn against the United States, which led to Europe's complete resignation and declaring war on the United States.

That's why the US authorities are hesitant about whether to enter Morocco.

According to some information released after the war, at the end of the two-year terrorist attack, US President Duchwit asked the Joint Conference to modify the North African combat plan several times. In addition to canceling the combat plan to block the Suez Canal, as early as the second half of the year, when the US military lost a big loss on the Pacific battlefield, the Joint Conference of the United States formulated a combat plan to block the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Suez. According to this plan, when the US military was destined to lose the Middle East War, it will concentrate all strategic bombers in the Middle East War and the Mediterranean War.

In the old days, tens of thousands of mines were deployed between Port Said and Shakir Island, completely blocking the entire Suez Canal and ensuring that the Republic's navy could not enter the Mediterranean from the Suez Canal within 1 year. The main reason why Duchwie canceled the combat plan was that this would have a great impact on Europe, forcing the Republic to change its strategic plan and weaken Europe's influence. The biggest change was to ask the Marines to report to the President before entering Morocco and take action only after obtaining the President's permission.

It can be said that what the United States was most worried about at that time was to go too far on the North African issue.

It can be seen that when the Republic's Navy made an advance into the Atlantic Ocean and dispatched three main fleets and several maritime bases at once, the US Navy faced a dilemma.

In terms of scale, three combat fleets are nothing. You should know that the US Navy has 4 main fleets and air fleets, and its strength is basically twice that of the three combat fleets sent by the Republic Navy, and the US Navy also has several maritime bases to be mobilized. The problem is that if we consider the combat effectiveness, especially the combat performance of the main ships of both sides and the air-controlling fighter jets, the US Navy's advantages are not obvious, and there is even no advantage. In this way, whether to fight the Republic's Navy in the waters of the Point Islands of Buddha or retreat to the Little Andres is indeed a problem that is enough to make decisions between the US Navy and the US authorities. Of course, the biggest problem is that the decision-making time left for the United States is too short.

It is undeniable that the US intelligence agencies are relatively efficient. In the late lunar month of the year, that is, before the Republic's Navy took action, the US authorities received a warning that the Republic's Navy would definitely send a fleet into the Atlantic Ocean with the purpose of seizing sea control. During this period, the Republic's Army would not launch a large-scale offensive operation in West Africa. The problem is that the US intelligence agencies did not guarantee that the Republic's Army would not launch an offensive after the Republic's Navy seized the sea control power, that is, seizing sea control power was only a means, not an end.

In this way, the U.S. authorities have to consider the possibility of the Republic's Army attacking the Cape Verde Islands.

As mentioned earlier, if the Republic marched into the Cape Verde Islands, the main purpose was not to cross the Atlantic Ocean westward, but to attack Morocco northward, so the US authorities had to consider whether to march into Morocco in advance.

Of course, the key is not to march into Morocco, but to not fight the Republic's navy in the Cape Verde Islands.

It can be said that this is a very critical decision, and it can even be said to be a strategic decision that must be made by US President Duchwie himself!
