Chapter six hundred and twelve sharpening knives

For Americans, the great thing that makes the Chinese dance happily is a major disaster for their strategy to curb China's Asian strategy to face complete failure.

Needless to say, this major return event is enough to make this Eastern nation with a strong sense of revival more confident; economically, it can integrate the economic circle of Greater China and form a stronger economic entity; military, the so-called blockade of the first island chain has completely gone bankrupt, which has instead made the Japanese pirates supported by the Americans feel like they are stuck in their throats, and the lifeline at sea completely exposed to China's artillery fire.

After the mainland and Taiwan Island were connected, the mainland had a missing opponent and an additional helper. The strength increased by one point and two points. In addition, the Taiwan Island was in a dangerous terrain. With Taiwan Island as the base, it was effective to attack the People's Liberation Army within at least 1,000 kilometers. It was difficult for Japanese pirates to take a detour. The Pacific Ocean is very large, but if you really want to take a detour, the shipping cost increased, the vast Pacific Ocean is not just a gentle side. In the summer season when sea storms are frequent, it is not easy to pass through this dangerous sea area.

Above the ocean where there is no port for thousands of kilometers, no villages or shops in front of the village, it is definitely a very severe test for transporting ships.

If you walk through the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, you can enter the port at any time to avoid the invasion of storms. In this way, mainland China takes Taiwan Island and the South Island as the basis, and Sansha can fully control the entire South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, cutting off the maritime lifeline of Japanese pirates at any time.

Washington, United States Army Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Tom, with our 2 squadrons F-22 and 3 squadrons F-35s, our military strength in Asia has been greatly enhanced," said Air Force Chief of Staff Admiral McCall. "We have gathered more than 300 fighters in Naba, including three squadrons F-22 and five squadrons F-35s, plus f-15e and f-16c/d, which has exceeded our air force in Europe. If we add four carrier-based fighters and stationed in the South Korean Air Force, we have gathered more than 700 fighters in East Asia."

"It can be said that this is the time when we deploy the strongest air force in Asia. If we add the Japanese and South Korean air force that can be directly commanded, the total number of third-generation and fourth-generation fighter jets exceeds 1,100. We are fully confident that relying on this reliable air force to destroy the PLA's air force at any time, as long as there is this need." Admiral McCall is a hawkish figure in the US military who advocates toughness. He believes that the multiple breakthroughs of the Navy's Ford by the PLA submarine not long ago were a great provocation to the US military, and has always advocated the use of decisive measures to fight back.

Now that the US military has basically completed the assembly of military forces, General McCall hopes to find an excuse to teach the People's Liberation Army a profound lesson, preferably just like the Pakistani army humiliated the Indian army not long ago.

Although McCall also received detailed information from the India-Pakistan War and the latest assessment of the People's Liberation Army by the CIA, McCall still felt that the intelligence department was too overestimating the opponent. Regarding the Air Force's high-tech armies that can only achieve breakthroughs with cutting-edge industrial levels and long-term accumulation, Admiral McCall believes that the PLA will not be able to achieve decades of results in the US military in just a few years. This is too unreliable. After all, a Dr. Duke is a man and not a god. It is impossible to force China's aerospace industry level with one person, which shortens the technological gap of nearly thirty years as the United States in a few years.

This is not a scientific analytical attitude. Admiral McCall has a deep prejudice against the CIA, believing that this is a means for the CIA to take the opportunity to gain more resources.

This method is often used by his Air Force. Whenever Congress needs to pass more military budgets, McCall himself often tells lies against his will and strive for more fighter orders for the Air Force by exaggerating external threats. Therefore, the extremely expensive F-22 fighter jets of the US military have increased from the original 200 to nearly 300 now. In recent years, the F-35 has increased rapidly at a rate of 80 each year, and now it has exceeded 600.

Despite this, Admiral McCall often complains that the Air Force will face a serious shortage of fighter jets, because according to the original plan, the Air Force maintains a scale of about 2,000 aircraft, with the retirement of the F-16 and F-15 aircraft in recent years, with the retirement of the F-16 and F-15 aircraft, there are only about 600 F-16s and 250 F-15 aircraft left. The Air Force now has only 1,750 fighters available, with a gap of more than 200. Of course, there is no calculation of carrier-based aircraft owned by the Navy.

However, both the F-22 and F-35 have repeatedly broken through the budget prices, which has caused great dissatisfaction among the members of Congress. They believe that the current strength of the US military does not require such a huge air force at all.

Therefore, McCall previously expressed his agreement with the rapid increase in the PLA military strength analyzed by the CIA, which is actually mostly aimed at these members of parliament, rather than really thinking that the PLA Air Force can be compared with the US Air Force.

General Field, the Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff of the Three Army, nodded when he heard General McCall say this. The air force stationed in East Asia is unprecedentedly powerful. It is understandable that General McCall says this. "But Tim, the air force alone cannot solve the problem. Ken, how are the navy prepared?"

"The Navy has mobilized six aircraft carrier fleets into the Western Pacific region. There are four stationed at Japanese bases and two in Guam. In terms of submarines, 16 Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, 2 Seawolf-class nuclear submarines and 6 Ohio-class nuclear submarines. We believe that the Navy can now fully cope with the joint attacks of the four major fleets of the People's Liberation Army." Navy Chief of Staff General Skes also said confidently.

More than half of the US aircraft carrier formations and more than one-third of the nuclear submarines are now gathered in the Western Pacific region. This is the first time that the US Navy has assembled such a powerful force since the Iraq War.

"So, everyone thinks we should find an opportunity to teach the Chinese a lesson?" General Field asked.

"Tom, I have an idea," said Coral, the Chief of Staff of the Army, who was silent, suddenly, "No matter what, we are an alien existence in Asia. Foreigners have a legitimate chance. We might as well transfer all the F-35 fighters to the Japanese and let them fight with the Chinese. Anyway, they are a feud, so we don't need to go barely to attract hatred. We only need to take action when the Japanese are almost unable to support them."
