The reason is that after the devastating blow to the area around the Chesapeake Bay, Denver has become the "city" of the United States, that is, the political center of the United States. From the perspective of forcing the US authorities to surrender unconditionally, the first move to Denver can maximize the morale of the United States and

Zhi. There is no doubt that the strategic strike this day was extremely fierce.

According to the combat records of the Republic's Sky Army and the Navy, in this day, a total of 10,000 tons of ammunition were thrown into Denver. Although the amount of ammunition dropped is far less than that of previous strategic strikes, not to mention the large cities such as Luo Huiyuan, San Francisco, and Seattle, even the ammunition was thrown in some military bases. However, Denver is a city with a population of less than 40,000. In addition, due to the natural environment, the area of ​​the central city is only about one of the other million-level cities, and it is a relatively small city.

In just a few hours, Denver became hell on earth.

Because the US federal government has moved here, there are detailed statistics on the casualties of the strategic strike. According to statistics released by the US authorities a few days later, there are more than 10,000 victims alone. In addition, there are about the same number of victims that cannot be identified, and there are almost 10,000 missing people. In other words, the number of Denver citizens who escaped this blow will not exceed 10,000! This is easy to understand. In any case, Denver is the Western Capital of the United States. It is the new political center. Because there are federal government agencies here, in the eyes of most citizens, with the religion of Washington, the US federal government will definitely try its best to protect this temporary

All.

More importantly, Denver is a typical inland city, thousands of kilometers away from the coastline. It can be said that basically all Denver citizens think this is the safest place in the United States, otherwise the US president would not have come to take refuge.

This is how war is. The safer the place, the more dangerous it is.

Of course. Denver is just the beginning.

By March, with the four main fleets operating in the Pacific Ocean quickly heading to the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in the Caribbean Sea on March, plus the four main fleets sent there were already four main fleets, which were used in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. More importantly, the Republic's Navy also deployed an estuary fire support fleet to the region, among which the fire support ships equipped with 0 kilogram class electromagnetic guns were close to the auxiliary ships. In addition, there were also those who had been active in the region.

4 aviation fleets and 8 maritime base groups. Because the Sky Army has completed a strategic strike against the Northwest of the United States, it is gradually transferring strategic bombers to the Atlantic Ocean. It is considered to be four maritime base groups deployed in the East Pacific and North Pacific. At that time, there were more than 20,000 strategic bombers deployed in the surrounding areas of the United States! Of course, this does not include strategic bombers that can be deployed in Cuba. If all are included, bombers that can implement strategic strikes on the depths of the United States are around the 4-edge knife stands.

Based on this calculation, in extreme cases, the strike forces of the Republic's Navy and the Sky Army can be deployed to any city in the United States within the time of the fall.

What is this concept?

Not to mention cities, even urban agglomerations. For example, the Northeastern region of the United States, centered on New York, cannot afford to persuade tens of thousands of tons of ammunition to be concentrated. In other words, the promise of persuade tens of thousands of tons of ammunition to turn dozens of large and small towns into flat ground in one area within one day!

To use post-war evaluation, the Republican authorities were no longer bombing the United States, but destroying the United States.

There are two choices before the United States, either surrender or destroy.

Within the following week, several other major cities in the Midwest United States, such as Cheyenne in Daisy, Lou Lake City in Utah, Albuquerque in Phoenix in Arizona, etc., were all hit, and the damage was almost the same as Denver. It can be said that if this continues, in less than two months, the Midwest, which is three times the size of the Western region, will become an unmanned land.

At this time, the Republic's authorities made a decision to suspend bombing, allowing the Sky Army and the Navy to temporarily stop fighting for hours.

Of course, this is not for negotiations with the United States.

Within this hour, the Supreme Command of the Republic made a very important decision, namely integrating the strategic strike forces of the Sky Army and the Navy, establishing a strategic strike command, and taking the Alapacchia Mountains as the boundary, the Navy command on the east and the Tianjun command on the west. However, these two combat commands affiliated with the Strategic Strike Command have the right to mobilize all combat forces in the area.

Doing so is naturally making full use of the combat capabilities of the Republican team.

Through the previous strikes, the Republican Team has summarized an effective tactic, that is, to use the naval strike force to destroy a country's infrastructure. In addition to dealing with more difficult military targets, the attack force of the Sky Army also undertakes the task of killing and killing live forces. In other words, only by combining the strike force of the Navy and the Sky Army can the strike efficiency be maximized.

Of course, within this small hour, the Republican authorities did something more important.

That is to secretly contact several major allies and solicit opinions from these countries on armistice negotiations with the United States.

Although the Republic is the core state of the intensive group and is also the main force in winning the war, the Republic is not strong enough to ignore other countries and not prosper to destroy other countries. Therefore, when it comes to whether to end the war in a negotiated manner, the Republic's authorities must solicit opinions from allies, especially those with strong influence on the post-war situation.

By strength, India, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Argentina, Malaysia, Thailand, Iraq and Syria can all be regarded as allies with certain influence, and these countries' attitude towards war has influenced the strategic decisions of the intensive group.

There is no doubt that definitely not all allies accept the negotiation method.

Take Iran, Iraq and Syria as an example. Because these three countries are directly and indirectly invaded by the United States, they are very consistent on whether to negotiate with the United States, that is, to firmly oppose the negotiations. If the war is to end early, the United States can only surrender unconditionally, otherwise the war should be carried out to the end and ended in a way that completely destroys the United States. In fact, these three countries are not completely consistent on fundamental issues. Iran wants to use this to expand its voice and bargain with the Republic on the future development of the Gulf region. Iraq and Syria hope to gain support from the Republic and become leaders of the Arab world, rather than obey Egypt's command. Of course, whether to completely defeat the United States or completely destroy the United States is not a problem that the leaders of these three countries can care about.

On the contrary, Argentina, Malaysia, Thailand, and India all believe that there is no need to carry out the war to the end. If the casualties of the war can be reduced, thousands of soldiers can go home to go home and work with their relatives and members, even if they lose some benefits, they should end in negotiations. Of course, the fundamental purpose of these countries is to end the war as soon as possible, so that their countries can restore normal order to reduce the losses caused by the war.

There is no doubt that this war has been fought long enough.

After soliciting opinions from major allies, the Republican authorities have realized that anti-war sentiment has risen and how to quickly end the war is the key issue.

Affected by this, after the third negotiation request was issued through Switzerland, the Republic's authorities formally admitted to having secret contacts with the United States and initiated a call within the intensive group to establish a negotiation committee to specifically be responsible for the armistice negotiations with the United States.

Obviously, this is not what the United States wants.

Getting other countries to join negotiations will only increase the difficulty of negotiations.

In fact, the Republic may not be able to gain greater benefits from it, because Europe can completely get a hand at this time and ask to participate in the negotiations as an allies.

It can be said that at that time many people did not understand why the top leaders of the Republic had to disclose negotiation information.

Of course, when these people figured it out, the overall situation would have been decided long ago. For the Republic, the ideal ending is naturally before the ground troops land on the United States. The US authorities announced unconditional surrender. The problem is that as the negotiations begin, the possibility of unconditional surrender of the United States is greatly reduced. If the United States wants to surrender unconditionally, the only way is to make the US authorities feel that the hope of negotiations is very slim. As long as the negotiations do not start for a day, the Republic's strategic strike will not end in one day. If it is delayed, it is probably not possible to wait for the negotiations to be prepared. The United States has completely become history under the strategic strikes. In this way, it is naturally necessary to create some issues that can seriously affect the negotiations while expressing sincerity, such as making negotiations more complicated.
