After this big air battle, Japan's air defense was completely open. Since then, the Japanese have never organized large-scale interception operations. This is partly because the Japanese suffered too many losses in the air battle that day - in

In this air battle, the Japanese lost 1,500 of the more than 2,000 fighter planes dispatched.

This is also because the Japanese resources are insufficient. The Japanese still have aircraft, but they no longer have much fuel that can be used for combat. Since the Philippines was recaptured by the US military, the Japanese have lost their oil supply. Now the Japanese

We need to use less fuel, so we have to plan carefully.

The base camp has now completely lost confidence in seizing air supremacy through air combat. They believe that the only significance of the existence of air power now is to launch kamikaze attacks on the U.S. fleet. Moreover, the remaining fuel in Japan is only enough to support several large-scale kamikaze assaults.

Already.

As a result, in the subsequent series of escort operations, Ron's fighter pilots found that they had more and more nothing to do. So someone proposed that they should follow the experience in Europe and launch extensive low-altitude operations over Japan.

Safari.

"I guess the Japanese probably don't have much fuel anymore. If you go on a safari now, you won't encounter any Japanese planes flying." Ron said, "However, the main purpose of our safari in Japan is not to attack Japan."

Instead of using fighter jets, they interfered with and destroyed the Japanese ground transportation. Recently, citizens in Japan have fled the city one after another. The Japanese also seem to have diverted some production

The department plans to move to the countryside. In this way, there will be a lot of transportation vehicles on Japan's roads... Well, please note that the Japanese do not have many cars and do not have gasoline to consume, so Japan's

Transportation should rely more on animal-drawn vehicles or even human-powered vehicles. To attack such small targets, bombers are not easy to use, but fighter jets are more convenient."

"General, our airport is still far away from Japan. Coupled with the restriction on the number of airports, I think it will be difficult for us to achieve the same results as we did in Europe." An officer said.

"Of course, even if we have enough airports and planes, the Japanese don't have enough targets for us. Hehe, you see, the generals are already thinking about the Japanese carriages. When we were in Europe, we

I'm afraid you won't even think of us in your dreams.

They will fly for several hours, and then use advanced weapons such as machine guns, rockets, and bombs to bully a poor old horse." Another officer also added this sentence, "I really can't figure it out, it's all here.

At this level, why don’t the Japanese surrender?”

"This is so normal. Aren't the Germans always resisting to the end? Those fascists are the ones who won't shed tears until they see the coffin." Ron also spoke. Now because the situation is so good, when the tactical discussion meeting is held, it is completely

The officers who were no longer under pressure would often go downstairs slightly when discussing things, and sometimes Ron, the chief officer, would participate.

"It seems that we can only prepare to land in Japan and besiege Tokyo." An officer said, "At that time, we must capture this bastard Hirohito, smear his butt with tar, glue feathers on it, and carry him to Pennsylvania Avenue

Put it on display, and then hang this bastard upside down on a telephone pole, like Mussolini."

"It's not necessarily that Hirohito is different from Mussolini or Hitler. Hitler was the one who directly planned, launched, and directed various war actions. He couldn't find a scapegoat. Even if he surrendered, he couldn't escape.

Punishment. So Hitler had only one way to resist to the end. But Hirohito was different. He was a guy hiding behind the scenes. There were others in front of him.

The Prime Minister is a scapegoat. For example, Hideki Tojo when he launched the war is a good scapegoat. Now it's just that they still have illusions. When the day of landing really comes, that bastard Hirohito may be the first one to jump.

Come out and say to us: 'American friends, I'm here to lead you to catch Hideki Tojo who started this evil war!'"

…

Japan's propaganda agencies no longer talk about winning the victory. This kind of propaganda can no longer deceive people. A few years ago, the Japanese would still believe the propaganda about the "Victory of Midway" and hold a lantern parade for it, but now, every day,

The American heavy bombers that arrived on time, as well as the American fighter planes that were scurrying around and specifically attacking various vehicles, made any publicity about the victory of the imperial army a joke. Therefore, Japanese radio and newspapers are now discussing it in unison

One word: "One hundred million total jade pieces".

This kind of militaristic clamor actually has two purposes. One is that when the militarists are desperate, they want to tie up more people and bury them with them. This is what all militarists have in common.

, when these guys gain power, they will use words such as "We are a superior nation, and it is the historical mission given to us by God to rule other inferior nations." "The most fertile land on the earth is occupied by those inferior nations. This

It is a crime against humanity. We must change

They use nonsense like "change this" to trick the people into trying to get chestnuts from the fire for them. Once the war situation goes unfavorable, they may directly order the destruction of all the infrastructure that the people rely on for survival, and curse them, saying "those who are truly outstanding"

"Everyone died on the battlefield, and the rest are scum who don't deserve to live." They directly use violent means to make the entire nation bury him with him, or they continue to brainwash and trick the people into collectively "breaking the jade into pieces", or even directly force him with a knife.

He led them to jump off a cliff and "martyr their country".

As for another purpose, it is to increase the casualties of the opponent by deceiving the common people to resist desperately, and then use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for conditions that allow one to escape punishment. The bigger purpose of Japan's "100 million total jade pieces" is actually

here.

In fact, some Japanese high-level officials hope to cause great damage to the Americans, but they dare not actually cause too much damage to the Americans. The Japanese actually have a weapon stronger than the kamikaze - the Kwantung Army

If you actually take out the plague, anthrax and other things from the water supply troops, tie them to balloons, and float them along the westerly winds to the United States, it will definitely be a hundred times more effective than using balloons to throw mortar bombs.

.However, Japan's top leaders really don't dare to do this. If they don't do this, they will just throw in a few scapegoats after defeat. If they really want to do this, then there is really only one way to go. Those who have never been through

Those who are living a good life may really want to be "broken into pieces", but who of those Chinese-born, extremely wealthy guys really want to live a good life and really want to be "broken into pieces"?

Therefore, while the Japanese were shouting, they wanted to negotiate conditions with the allies through the Soviet Union and surrender conditionally. But their asking price was too high, and they were too weak on the battlefield. For example, in the Battle of Okinawa,

Due to the heavy losses in previous air battles, coupled with the loss of U.S. safari aircraft,

To suppress the crowd, the performance of "Kamikaze" was far inferior to Ron's original historical effect. The Soviet Union, which ended the European War earlier than in the original history, also launched an attack on the Japanese army entrenched in the Northeast in advance. Although

The Japanese resisted more tenaciously than in previous history, but they were still defeated.

At this time, the progress of the atomic bomb that ended the war in the original history had not been accelerated accordingly, and it had not yet had time to prepare. So the US military began to seriously prepare for the landing operation on the Japanese mainland. However, Ron knew that this way

A large-scale landing will take a long time. It is estimated that by the time it is ready, the Americans will have their atomic bombs.

Therefore, Ron was not particularly enthusiastic about this landing battle. Now his mind was on arranging his own post-war path.

As the youngest general of the U.S. Army Air Forces, continuing to stay in the army should have a good future for an individual. But if history does not change drastically, it won’t be long before China and the United States will have a conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

War, if we continue to stay in the US Army, well, the problem will be very troublesome. Moreover, if we consider

The McCarthyism trend that will inevitably appear after the war, not to mention his relationship with Nadya, even the second brother in his family who is obviously pro-communist will bring him a lot of trouble. Therefore, continuing to stay in the army will not be a big problem for him.

It may not be a very good choice for Ron. Maybe leaving the military and entering the business world is a better choice.

Ron thought carefully about what he could do if he moved into the business world. First of all, he had many connections in the military world - whether it was the Army, Navy or the Air Force, which would soon be independent in the future. And he had a lot of knowledge about future military technology.

He is also very familiar with the direction of the company, and since he already has shares in an arms company, becoming an arms dealer is probably the best choice.

…

1984, Beijing.

As an entourage of Reagan, Ron and his wife came to China again and began to sell the weapons of his company to the Chinese. At this time, the United States and China had almost become non-aligned allies. Arms sales to China became

An aspect of U.S. policy toward China.

A general about 70 years old was looking at the information in his hand carefully. After a long time, he started to ask Ron: "Mr. Ron, this kind of vertically launched anti-aircraft missile produced by your company, and this

Can the price of this kind of ship-based helicopter, as well as this kind of hoisting sonar and light anti-submarine torpedo be lowered? In addition, can technology transfer be provided?"

"Ah, Commander Liu, I know your country has limited hard currency, but the price we proposed is already very cheap." Ron said, "As for technology transfer, we can definitely negotiate. However, I think talking about money is too much.

It hurts our feelings, but let’s talk about it... So if everything goes well, we can complete the entire deal before 1988. This is a win-win situation for both of us, isn’t it?"
