Chapter 1807 Political Considerations

Chen Cang's plan was initially completed and began to be implemented. Even if a small section of railway was cut off, it would be enough to block the East and West of the United States. After the plane took off successfully, the strategic aircraft flew towards the direction of the United States along the coastline of the West Coast. The aircraft flew at a cruise speed of about 450 kilometers. After arriving at the United States, it was already daytime. Fortunately, their flight altitude was quite high. In the past, strategic transport aircraft were airdropped to the New First Army. The same was true for Chen Cang's plan. It was also a long-distance airdrop. At most, there was a strategic bomber formation that was ready at any time. Next, when the order was issued, Hawaii would cooperate with it.

The aircraft carrier combat group was approaching the west coast of the United States long before the Sakura Plan began. It is now roaming in an area of ​​1,700 to 2,000 kilometers from the west coast. As long as the Chen Cang plan starts to be implemented, it will be arranged in place at a speed of 800 kilometers per day in 2 days. This is a huge aircraft carrier combat group, including four fleet aircraft carriers, with nearly a thousand fighter jets. Once the special forces encounter danger, they will directly attack cities on the west coast of the United States and send air forces to directly support them.

This is the last choice. As the weapon with the highest level and confidentiality level, the aircraft carrier combat group represents the peak of China's maritime weapons, especially the battle between China and the United States. After Japan entered Alaska on land, it was almost impossible to appear, and only the decisive battle at sea. China also learned about the actions of the Americans through Germany. The United States is building a fleet wildly and wants to rely on battleships to compete with China. He has gone astray. Of course, China cannot expose the aircraft carrier. Although even if the United States has made a primary aircraft carrier, China is not afraid of it when the aircraft cannot keep up with the Chinese aircraft, there are finally some twists and turns. The appearance of aircraft carriers is just for the protection. Anyway, as long as it is not facing the head-on battle with China, watching the aircraft carrier release the aircraft, even if the aircraft is approaching, the Americans do not know where these aircraft came from.

The thick dark night, with the help of the bright moonlight, you can vaguely see the outline of the coastline. Although the moon is not a full moon, it is mostly full. In fact, it is not a very suitable choice to use the air force on such a day, but they are not counting this time. When coming from the Great Plains, they have to calculate the time of the hurricane and whether there is a large rainy season. The moon is the last choice.

However, the night sky was quiet at this time, and there was no other sound around except the sound of the engine. There were only two dim lights in the cabin. Everyone rushed to rest. Although they had been resting for several hours after nightfall. With the special forces' training beyond the routine, they could perform tasks even if they did not sleep. However, the following was not a single operation, but a continuous operation for 10 days. In this operation, the special forces needed physical strength and a clear mind. On the plane, except for a few officers, the rest were resting.

The pilot has already flew as smoothly as possible. At an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, the weight of the strategic transport aircraft, 220 tons, and some slightly smaller high-air currents cannot blow it. As long as the running direction is maintained, it is quite stable, even the sound of the engine can be plugged with earplugs. Although for special forces, it must be kept awake at all times, it is definitely not during air transport.

If the helicopter is made and if he encounters an attack during the helicopter transportation, you can also consider landing directly. However, on the plane, the strategic transport plane is at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and prepared parachuting is at certain risk, let alone being hit and parachuting directly. On the plane, their fate is entrusted to the plane, without any warning, and you are completely relieved.

The special forces were flying to the United States at a speed of about 450 kilometers per hour. This is also the difference between the Air Force and the Army. After being modified by China, the New First Army was much higher than that of the United States. It was almost day and night to travel day and night. It took 11 days to reach the hinterland of the United States. However, if you use a plane, it will take at most 11 hours. I don’t know how much the difference is in time.

While the special forces were advancing towards the United States, the General Staff of the Baotou Special Zone of China and the Third Ring Road Inland Army was also very lively. There were 12 hours between China and the United States. At around 3 a.m. in the United States, it was around 3 a.m. in China. Just yesterday, after the Japanese raid troops successfully broke through the Missouri River, everyone knew that the Chen Cang plan was almost imperative. The difference was only how long it would take to be implemented. So today, not only did the head of the staff headquarters not leave, but even the senior military leaders such as Jiang Baili and Cai E stayed, but they rested in a specific lounge before the news came back.

As soon as they received the telegram, the attendants woke them up. Although they were of high status and powerful, they were in military service. Feng Yuxiang, the biggest, was less than 40 years old. He was young and strong, and his speed was not slow. When he arrived at the largest combat room of the General Staff, the staff on duty not only marked the latest news on the map, but also marked the situation.

On the map, the location of the New First Army is clearly marked. The armored forces of the New First Army's three divisions and one brigade directly killed the city representing Ogden and destroyed the railway near Ogden. Around him, the arrangement of the US military remains the same, without much change. Most of the military power is still concentrated near Alaska. The entire West Coast states have no more than 250,000 troops. Utah, a small continent located in the Midwest of the United States, has only less than 30,000 people.

Feng Yuxiang came, Jiang Baili came, but Cai E did not arrive. In the morning, he had an urgent business to deal with and left early. However, just now when Jiang Baili walked out of the lounge, he called Cai E. When Cai E heard that the cherry blossom plan was implemented successfully, Chen Cang's plan was also under the implementation process, he immediately decided to come over. However, it would take at least 40 minutes to get here from where he was. At least this round of discussion would not be able to catch up.

After Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Baili sat down, they asked the servants about their current status, where the Japanese army was located, what kind of attack they were going to do now, and where they would stay tonight, inject this into the situation, and briefly understand the current situation.

Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Baili had different ideas about Chen Cang's plan this time. Jiang Baili was slightly orthodox. From the military field, he did not believe that sneak attacks and blocking the Pacific Railway could threaten the United States. In his opinion, before the army entered the United States, cutting off the Pacific Railway would at most cause certain economic losses to the United States. This economic loss would increase with the damage to the Pacific Railway, but would not continue to strengthen endlessly. In the long run, the actions to destroy the Pacific Railway will inevitably become increasingly weak and the effect will be reduced. Therefore, he has always opposed it.

Everyone knows that economic losses can only be weakened at most. To a certain extent, economic losses will no longer be a problem for a country. The economy is monetary and a general equivalent. However, what really supports the continued war is food, arms, personnel, and logistics support. As long as these parts do not collapse, the war can continue.

This is also the support of Jiang Baili's theory, and it is also the reason why he proposed to oppose this plan in many meetings, even now, but his opinion has been supported by some people in the Army Department and even the General Staff Department, but the support rate is not high. The reason is very simple. He just considers the military aspect only without considering the political aspect. Any military action is an extension of politics. Military actions without political considerations will always be failures.

Jiang Baili made such a judgment related to his experience. Even though he has achieved the position of principal of Northwest Military Academy, he is still a simple principal. Although he has a lot of talents all over the world, he did not use this to seek his own interests and has no political ambitions. This shows that Jiang Baili is quite outstanding in combat, and the plans he set is also amazing. However, since he went to school, he was a pure soldier. He did not analyze it from a political perspective, and his sense of political smell was quite low.

That's right, Jiang Baili said it right. In terms of pure military affairs, a Pacific Railway is really nothing. If it were China, no matter which major transportation artery was cut off, it would not affect China. China has existed as a unified country for more than 2,000 years. The world's general trend will be divided for a long time. This is a sentence in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Isn't it a true portrayal of China? Even if there are some problems, China will not be permanently divided like the European countries, but will eventually form a winner and eventually form a whole.

Without foreign invasion, relying on a railway will cause problems or even split a country. This is simply a fantasy. Even if this railway may take two or three years to be completed, it can be solved by other methods, at most it will be a little economic loss. The political issue that Jiang Baili did not consider was politics. Politics was the real reason for the launch of Chen Cang's plan. The United States was only established for several years, two or three hundred years, and even in more than 30 years, there was a Civil War. At that time, the United States was divided into two parts, and the battle was very fierce, and millions died.

This war is an important fulcrum for supporting Chen Cang's plan and the fundamental reason why the General Staff finally agreed to the Sakura Plan and even the advanced Chen Cang's plan. Now, even the Chen Cang's plan has begun to be implemented. This is different from the Sakura Plan. China only provides support, and Japan is the one who fires people and guns. This is the plan that the Chinese son personally took action.
