Chapter 511 Food Issues
Nimitz is still worried about the technological gap between China and the United States, especially the extremely advanced torpedo weapons of the Chinese Navy.&*.《》.com is the fastest update **
Torpedo involves a wide range of disciplines and has high requirements for basic industries. The development of torpedoes must solve technical problems in depth, power, navigation, etc., and has high requirements for basic industries such as metallurgy and precision processing. Just a problem of ensuring the linear navigation of torpedoes can keep a large number of countries with unqualified basic industries out of the door.
Nimitz thought the difference was, why could the Chinese make better torpedoes than the Germans?
Perhaps most people don’t know how high the technical threshold of torpedo is. Taking military technology from the 21st century as a comparison standard, in the original time and space, there were many countries that could build missiles, but there were only nine countries that could build torpedoes.
According to the report, the torpedoes attacking American ships seem to be more advanced than those used by German ships to attack Soviet aid. Most importantly, Nimitz was even more surprised by the torpedoes that were actively sonar-guided when they heard the attack torpedo belts on the side.
The torpedo used by the Germans and Chinese were a kind of detection attack based on the magnetic field generated by the detection ships when they were traveling on the water. However, this torpedo also has its weaknesses and is prone to interference and fails in places with strong magnetic fields, especially the closer to the north and south poles of the earth, the more it is.
At the same time, the senior U.S. military also knew that the other party's guidance method could also be interfered with or induced through special equipment. The design of related products is being carried out in a research center in the United States. However, the anti-magnetic guidance torpedo equipment has not yet been put into use, and the Chinese have taken out another torpedo and put into actual combat.
Nimitz knew the working principle of sonar and knew that in the US Navy, the underwater sonar equipment equipped on various anti-submarine ships is huge in size and low in efficiency, and is prone to misjudgment and failure.
But can the Chinese actually compress such a huge sonar device into such a small installation into a torpedo?
Not to mention that Nimitz doesn't believe it, many American experts and professors who are confident will not believe it! But this report is not described by one person, but by sonars on multiple ships. It is impossible for so many sonars to fabricate it all.
I believe that after this report is sent back to the Pentagon in the United States, a group of bureaucrats will slap the table hard again.
Seeing MacArthur who was furious, Nimitz promised him to strengthen protection measures for blockade and escort, but Nimitz, who was familiar with the navy, also knew that this countermeasure was also a response.
Judging from the current information, there are only about 200 Chinese submarines, which seem to be a large number, but it seems that there are not many that are distributed to China's long coastline.
Moreover, from the confessions of the captured Japanese ship seamen, we learned that the Chinese, like the Germans, would also use wolves to encircle and fight the fleet if conditions permit.
Fortunately, the opponent's surprise attack was that only one submarine passed the US Navy's blockade of the strait. If there were so many submarines from the other party, it was still an unknown question whether MacArthur could sit in front of him and get angry.
It is a bit difficult to strengthen the blockade of some key straits and escort force of the fleet. Building ships is not as easy as building guns and cannons. Although there are many shipyards in the United States, the United States has not yet entered the war readiness period, and more warships are still loading in the docks.
If you wait another half a year, then you might have more ships on your hands to attack and restrict the Chinese, but what about now? Nimitz could only smile helplessly, and he had no choice but to do anything about it.
However, the face that should be needed is still needed. Some time ago, the Chinese used a sneak attack to kill many of their own surface ships. Now they used a submarine to slap themselves hard. The slap on their faces was painful. If they didn't do anything, the position of the commander of the Pacific Navy should be at the end. (Baidu search "", watch the latest update of this book)
???????????
Off-road jeep and two armed trucks of escorts were whirling alarms all the way through the Australian wilderness, and in a town with some Sherman-style tanks parked outside, the three stopped.
A US general with three star helmets on his head stepped off the car. Several American soldiers who were fetching water subconsciously threw down the bucket and stood attentively to salute. Looking at the disheveled American soldiers, General Samsung gently placed the whip in his hand on the helmet to signal the gift.
General Samsung walked into the temporary command center, where all kinds of things from American soldiers were placed everywhere, and the things placed everywhere made it difficult to get off the ground. On the seats in the room, two soldiers were lying on them and asleep.
Admiral Samsung used his whip to lift a machine gun blocking the way, and the machine gun that fell to the ground made a heavy impact. The two sleeping soldiers were very unhappy after being awakened, but the three dazzling stars made them swallow all their greetings back into their stomachs and stood attentively saluting.
"General!" Harris, the American Infantry Division, greeted the newly arrived immediate boss in such an awkward place.
"Very good, at least I've seen someone knowing that he is still a soldier." Looking at Harris' clean and neat clothes and expression, he nodded to the Samsung Admiral who paid great attention to military appearance.
"Sorry, General, we have just retreated from the Eastern Front. The Chinese planes and tanks are chasing each other very fiercely. Although we did not underestimate the enemy, we still underestimated their combat strength." Harris looked at the things in the room, explaining without explanation.
"I know, I have read all your reports. It is precisely because of this that the superior sent me, Patton, over." Patton slapped his left hand with a whip, and his face was solemnly preventing Harris from explaining.
"General, I thought you would arrive in the afternoon."
"After afternoon? Oh no! I like to suddenly appear in front of him in an unexpected time, to his own people and to his enemies!" Patton's words pointed out his temper and habits, and also said his fighting style.
"Put on your hat and go to the medical center with me." Harris obediently picked up his hat and prepared to set off, but saw Patton suddenly stopping and whip hitting the clothes taken off the table with the two soldiers. He emphasized: "Everyone in the war zone must wear a steel helmet, tie a tie, and gait a legging, and logistics personnel are no exception. This is the army, not a camping zone!!"
It is not a secret that Patton likes to go to the wounded area when he is in a bad mood, because he likes to inspire morale when constantly encouraging the wounded to talk to the wounded, not only to the other party, but also to himself.
However, when he entered the wounded area, he found that many soldiers were not wounded with bandages on their bodies. For wounded people, Patton usually encourages them, believing that the other party was injured during the battle and was a glorious hero of the United States. But Patton would hate these people who had no scars on their bodies very much.
After asking about the soldiers who were feared by the Chinese artillery, Patton's accumulated anger all the way up to an explosion point. He could not stand such a person with strong limbs lying on the hospital bed and occupying a precious bed. He whipped his whip, kicked his leather boots, and pulled them all out of the tent, and then said viciously to the attending military doctor:
"Doctor, in my army, there is no disease of shell shock disease in wounded soldiers!"
"But general, there were ones before!" The military doctor wanted to argue because he knew that these wounded soldiers were mainly psychologically trauma and could recover with a little psychological counseling. Even if they could not go to the battlefield again, they would not leave psychological trauma.
"That was before. As long as I, Patton, was still here for a day, then this disease would not appear in my army!!"
The news that Patton appeared on the Australian battlefield was not quickly learned by the Chinese military, because Patton's landing was not as swaggering as MacArthur. It was quietly in Sydney and Brisbane like the troops of several divisions he brought. The US military's reinforcements were quietly entering the village and not shooting.
This tone does not conform to the American's ostentatious personality, but it is in line with the current form in Australia.
The American infantry division's high-profile entry into Australia last time made the Australians really excited for a while, but what happened? Harris and the infantry division's men fled south shortly after receiving the enemy's fire, running faster than the kangaroos on the Australian mainland.
Before the several pursuit troops sent by Wang Junfeng had time to encircle, Harris escaped from Wang Junfeng's encirclement and ran south, leaving only two Australian infantry divisions with poor mobility to give to the angry Xiong Puliang and tear them into pieces.
Such a result is indeed difficult to promote anything high-profile. It is not like this to slap in the face. For this reason, whether it is Australians or Americans, they have adopted low-key propaganda treatment for Patton's action of landing on the Australian troops to reinforce the Australian troops.
One of the consequences of this was that it was not until a while later that the Chinese military learned about the other party's Yi General from another information channel, which was a mistaken and unintentional move.
Patton, a fierce World War II general, came to Australia as the result of Americans' negotiations with the Australian military after they discovered that the Chinese army was more difficult to deal with than they thought. Although the Australians really hoped to expel the Chinese army with their own strength.
However, after two battles on the Eastern and Southern fronts, the Australians were disappointed to see their army being defeated in front of the Chinese army. There was no way. Although the Australian army did not say it verbally, they still knew very clearly that the Chinese army opposite was no longer the Qing whip army half a century ago.
If you want to defeat such an army, you must ask more professional people to deal with it. Therefore, after consulting with the senior management of the Australian army, the Australian army quickly agreed to the request of the US army as the chief commander of the joint army. It is more appropriate for the Australian army to follow the army that can only follow the flag and shout behind its master to do its logistics work honestly.
Patton's arrival did bring different atmospheres to the US military, especially for the US military that had just suffered a setback. Patton's almost rude but very inciting words could indeed arouse a lot of morale. At the same time, although he demanded the soldiers strictly, he also demanded himself almost harshly.
At any moment, soldiers could see Patton, who was neatly dressed in any occasion, and the three stars on his steel helmet were always shining brightly. The exquisite m1911 pistol under his ribs was more like a craft rather than a murder weapon.
Of course, there will not be many people who think that Patton will really use this exquisite over-the-counter pistol to go to the battlefield to fight against the Chinese.
Inspired by Patton, Harris's infantry division quickly walked out of the frustrated and decadent state that had just been chased by Chinese soldiers. Every Sherman tank was wiped and shining, and every car was carefully maintained to attack at any time.
A confident smile appeared on every soldier's face, and the topic of talking about was no longer a frustrating topic like when the Chinese would come, but a topic of talking about when the Chinese could be driven home to end this damn war. Morale was reinspired bit by bit by bit by bit.
In mid-September, the US military reinforcements on the Northern Line, who came with Patton to reinforce, met with Yu Chalville, while the army units of the three US divisions of the Southern Line were advancing westward through the railway. The US military mission on the Northern Line was to resist the main force of Wang Junfeng, who had just defeated the US-Australian coalition in Huúndon, while the Southern Line was to block the attack momentum of the ** Regiment of the Second Army as the main combat force.
However, for Wang Junfeng, who had just won a victory, he did not have more ability to continue to advance from the Eastern Front and the United States ran away. The result of the US military throwing his legs and throwing several main forces of the Australian Army in front of him.
The surrounded Australian troops did not choose to surrender under the leadership of General Clemant. As Australians, they must persist in fighting on their own territory until the last moment. Even if they were defeated and died, they could not be regarded as prisoners on Chinese propaganda materials.
The consequence of this is that Wang Junfeng must sit down and carefully clean up these Australian soldiers who resisted to the end before he can free up his hands to carry out the next advance plan. At the same time, such a battle consumes a lot of ammunition, which puts greater pressure on the already stressful logistics supply.
Moreover, although the US military did not make a high-profile publicity on new reinforcements, the US military of several divisions landed on Australia's east coastline cannot escape the Chinese's eyewitness.
Although no changes in the other party's senior command were found, the storm of the tens of thousands of American soldiers could be easily seen. Many American soldiers dressed in pleasure appeared in bars in several cities, and the income of prostitutes suddenly increased, which is a very good proof.
Admiral Samsung came to this battlefield in Australia with his whip and his bold words in another way.
"After fighting here, we will change our name to the Central Army and hand it over to another army to attack, we and the main division continue to go south, and our ** regiment continues to put pressure on the Australian Army to the east." Mo Xiong walked into the tent with a kettle.
It contains wine brought from China and came to the side of a few old comrades to get together. On weekdays, everyone gathers together as soon as possible. This war may one day separate the yin and yang from everyone.
Mo Xiong carried the wine, so the food was provided by others. A kangaroo that hit the armored vehicle and a few injured horses became add-on meat, and then some canned meat and some other food. The banquet for this small gathering was held in the tent.
"See this American pig again!" Gan Daoguang missed the canned meat placed on the dining table with ammunition boxes. On the encapsulated outer packaging, one with a steel helmet printed on the head, and a military standard light machine gun in his left hand, with a big nose and gritted his teeth.
The little piglet with bullet bags were covered with his waist, his tail was rolled up one by one, and his right hand was also thrown out an aviation bomb. His cute appearance, the teeth-armed and the hatred aroused Gan Daoguang's memories.
"What? Is there a story?" Liu Jianfeng took advantage of Gan Daoguang's reminiscence and pulled a lot of horse whip that the chef of the Fourth Camp specially left for Gan Daoguang into his lunch box.
"This thing saved many Americans in the Great Depression back then. Now Americans support this thing everywhere. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chairman Jiang got a lot of this thing from the United States to come to China. However, other places are more popular. After all, many troops could only barely do it when they were full." Mo Xiong poured wine to everyone's mouth and explained.
"I know that your main force of the Chinese army has never lacked food and clothing..." He glanced at Mo Xiong and Gan Daoguang put down the canned piglets.
Canned Spam meat is indeed a magic weapon used by the United States to support materials from other countries. Even now, after the Soviets lost the large granary of Ukraine, they now have a very strong need for canned Spam lunch meat shipped from the United States.
For the British and French who were in a state of high combat readiness, the canned Spam meat was indeed a delicious dish on the dining table. In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, before the Hualian National Defense Forces took action, other domestic troops and people were also quite scarce.
Therefore, lunch meat, a thing that the American soldiers hate, is a very popular thing in other countries except for the American soldiers who eat it every day.
The Chinese army was an exception. Due to the long-term quality of building the army and strengthening the army with science and technology, the regular troops under its command, even the second-line garrison troops, had better food than Jiang Ruiyuan's direct Central Army.
Every unit that has visited the logistics forces of the Chinese army is extremely envious of these soldiers for not only being able to eat enough, but also being able to eat well. What makes them not understand is that within the Chinese army, eating requires nutritional science, protein, vitamins, and different environments. The dietary standards in the region are even more dazzling.
Being able to distinguish high cold, damp heat, and different degrees of battlefield food make people feel the preparations of Hualian's senior decision-makers for future world wars.
