Volume 8 Hundred Years of Resentment Chapter 100 Savvy (Last Month 390
After only one hour of fighting, China gained an absolute advantage.
The situation changed so quickly that even Westwood and Brudering did not expect it.
After the G37 meeting ended, Bruderlin immediately rushed to the White House. Before that, General Duchway, who was once again appointed as the president's special military adviser, had been invited to the White House by Westwood to analyze the situation and development of the "Japanese War" for the president.
When Brudering arrived, Duchway was talking about the most important things.
"The situation is very obvious, Japan can't hold on for long.
"Duqiwei just came to Washington and didn't have time to learn about the latest situation from the Pentagon and CIA. "According to relevant data released by China, the Japanese Air Force lost at least 800 combat aircraft in the first three days. Before the war broke out, the Japanese Air Force had only less than 1,300 combat aircraft in total. Because the production process of fighter jets had a cycle, about one month, it was impossible for the Japanese Air Force to obtain newly produced fighters immediately, and could only reuse the more than 200 fighters that had been sealed before. According to this calculation, the Japanese Air Force had at most 500 to 700 fighters, and the early warning aircraft was almost completely lost. At this speed, within two to three days, the Japanese Air Force would completely lose combat capabilities. When the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier battle group was wiped out, the Japanese Air Force would lose combat capabilities again, and Japan would be defeated quickly, at least unable to cope with China's strategic blockade."
"What is the purpose of China's strategic blockade?"
Bruderlin Wei: Frown and glanced at the president who asked the question.
Westwood seemed to be humbly asking for advice, as if he was really asking Duchwie for advice.
Duqiwei was a little late and said: "From a purely military perspective, China's comprehensive strategic blockade against Japan is of great significance. Japan is an island country with extremely poor resources and is subject to radioactive pollution. The blockade lasts for three to six months, and Japan has to seek peace from China. If China's purpose is to eliminate the Japanese lockdown like the eradication of South Korea, it will last for at least one year. At that time, China will not have to send a soldier or a soldier to occupy Japan with minimal losses."
"Will China occupy Japan!?" Brudering seemed surprised.
Duqiwei did not speak because this was a question he could answer. In fact, when the president asked the question, Duqiwei knew that the president asked not about political purposes, but about military purposes. He also analyzed China's strategic blockade from a military perspective.
"Whether China has occupied Japan's international situation to develop? According to our speculation, the possibility of China occupying Japan is very small." Westwood looked at the fussy Secretary of State and turned his eyes to Duqiwei. "General. In my opinion, although China has enough ability to implement a strategic blockade on Japan after seizing air supremacy, I always feel that China seems to be missing something."
"It's true. China lacks a springboard to enter the Western Pacific."
Westwood nodded slightly and clearly this was exactly what it meant.
"Although China has occupied Taiwan, but in the situation in Taiwan, China has to stabilize the people of Taiwan, send necessary living supplies to Taiwan, restore Taiwan's social situation, and eliminate the impact of military coup on Taiwan society. In this way, except for deploying combat forces in several military quarters, it is unlikely that China will immediately send strategic offensive forces to Taiwan and use Taiwan as a springboard to enter the Western Pacific." Du Qiwei paused for a moment and said. "China has no other choice but to attack the Okinawa Islands. At least one island and then use it as a base. Send warships and fighter jets to strategically blockade Japan to the Western Pacific. From a military perspective, China must launch an attack as soon as possible. Capture the Japanese military base with a complete infrastructure. Only in this way can China's strategic blockade against Japan become a reality and be feasible. It is not just a declaration."
Brudering smiled faintly, and he also considered this issue and was about to tell the president.
Westwood pondered for a while, pressed down the phone on the table, and said to the secretary outside: "Jenny, prepare a helicopter immediately and send General Duqiwei to the Pentagon. In addition, contact the Pentagon and tell the Secretary of Defense that General Duqiwei, the President's Special Military Adviser, was fully responsible for military decision-making for me."
Duche was shocked and looked at Westwood in disbelief.
After giving instructions to the secretary, Westwood said to Duchway: "General, the situation is obvious. Although we will not go to war with China for Japan, nor will we let the Americans bleed and sacrifice for an irrelevant country, we must protect American ships sailing around the world and American crew members on the ships to ensure that our overseas trade is unimpeded. For this reason, I authorize you to mobilize the deployment of the US military as a special adviser to the president. The Ministry of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the CIA and other intelligence agencies will cooperate with each other."
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Duqiwei immediately stood up and saluted the president.
The president is the supreme commander of the US military, and all Americans must obey the president's orders.
Westwood only grew up after Ducheway left
It seems that I have made a major decision just now.
"Prepare to send escort forces?"
Looking at the Secretary of State, Westwood smiled bitterly and said, "How is the meeting going?"
"Nothing has changed. In my opinion, there are many countries that are happy about China's strategic blockade against Japan." Brudering also smiled bitterly and said, "A resolution without any binding force was passed to condemn China in the name of the G37. We, the United Kingdom and France, have proposed a proposal to sanction China in the Security Council, requiring China to bear full responsibility for the ongoing war. Anyway, no country is willing to carry a burden, and no country is willing to accept Japanese refugees."
"Present a proposal to sanction China in the Security Council?" Westwood was stunned for a moment and said, "If the Security Council can save Japan, the war will not break out. Since other countries are unwilling to lend a helping hand, we should not be too active, let Britain and France arrange their plans and face a head-on collision with China."
"What should I do if China's strategic closure?"
"Look at the situation," West said with a breath, "China has taken a ruthless move, and it seems that it is just a match for the whole world."
"It's true, Europe is very dissatisfied with this."
"The question is, will Wang Yuanqing do such a stupid thing?"
Bruderlin frowned slightly and said, "What Tong means is that China still has chips in its hands?"
"Not only have chips, but also very chips." Westwood glanced at the Secretary of State and said, "Although the war has only been going on for about a hundred hours, all signs indicate that it is a long-planned war. From strategic planning to strategic implementation, and then to tactical implementation, the whole process was completed in one go without any sign of dragging on the slightest. More importantly, China occupied an absolute initiative throughout the process. Whether it was strategic deception or tactical attack, China completely suppressed Japan, and made Japan unable to fight back, and could only beg us. Do you think that if China did not have enough chips, would it be so aggressive?"
"It is true, we have to worry about China's extreme initiative." Brudering nodded, as if he had thought of what the president began to say. "Before this war, all China's foreign military operations were based on counterattacks. Whether it was against India, Japan, small countries in Southeast Asia, and even fighting with us on the Korean Peninsula, China did not take the initiative in the strategic implementation stage. This time, it was completely different. From the beginning, China had made up its mind to go to war with Japan and actively create reasons for the war. If China did not have enough chips in its hands, let alone comprehensively attack Japan's nuclear facilities and implement a strategic blockade on Japan, it would not even provoke a war."
"The key is here. What kind of chips do China have in its hands?"
"Before we figure it out, we'd better be more cautious and try to avoid direct collision with China." Bruderlinan spoke in his tone and said, "The EU is much more active than us. Let the EU create trouble for China. Let's figure out the chips in China's hands and follow up."
"This is not enough, we have to bet something."
Brudering frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand the president's meaning.
"You contact the Prime Minister of Canada as soon as possible to make appropriate concessions on the issue of Japanese refugees. You can provide some subsidies to Canada through free trade agreements, and even undertake relief for some refugees." Westwood paused for a moment and said, "After Canada relaxed, we will put pressure on Australia and New Zealand, forcing Australia and New Zealand to put pressure on the EU. At that time, even if countries such as France, Germany, Italy and other countries see our intentions, they will have to put pressure on China because of the Japanese refugee issue to figure out China's intentions."
Brudering pondered for a while, nodded, and said nothing.
Among the "Group of 37", the EU is most concerned about "humanitarian disasters" and is most sympathetic to Japanese refugees. Not to mention, in just a few days after the severe radioactive pollution in Japan, hundreds of demonstrations against "China's abuse of force" occurred in the EU.
The EU governments are under great pressure. The French president has repeatedly claimed on informal occasions that China should be responsible for humanitarian disasters. The German Chancellor also expressed the same opinion at rallies many times. The Italian Prime Minister expressed his full efforts to punish China, which committed serious war crimes when meeting local representatives (mostly representatives of large families of mafia). The attitude of European governments is also in line with public opinion.
This is exactly what Westwood wants to take advantage of.
Let the EU rush ahead to welcome China's "anger", and then judge China's intentions from China's reaction.
In any case, Westwood does not want the United States to stand at the forefront and endure the storm caused by the "Red Wrath".
