Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 90, Explosive Effect

How many of the subsequent deployment and movements of the US military in the Battle of the Renpu Islands can be revealed.

The year and month of the year were occupied. In the absence of the first main fleet, the Republic Navy launched a combat operation code-named "Black Pearl" to attack Tinian Island.

On the morning of the same day, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade of the Republic Marine Corps, supported by artillery, aviation and firepower support fleets, boarded the beach on Tinian Island and consolidated the beachhead at noon that day. When it was dark, not only did the combat troops of the brigade come ashore, but Di Lin, who followed closely behind, also sent some troops to the beach.

It must be admitted that even in a fully passive situation, the resistance of the US military is very tenacious.

In the words of some scholars who specialize in World War III, the quality of the US military was not much worse than that of the Republican army in the early stages of the war, especially some foreign troops. Because of their long-term contact with the outside world and often have the opportunity to carry out foreign military operations, most officers and soldiers have combat experience and are familiar with the battlefield environment. More importantly, in the early stages of the war, the average service time of US military officers and soldiers was more than 3 years, and before the end of the war, this number was reduced to the following. It can be said that this gap in quality is

The battle for islands in the Pacific is very clear. Take the offensive and defensive battle of Tinian Island as an example. After the fall of Saipan, the US military on the island was shelled by the Republic Marines every day. Not only were there casualties every day, but officers and soldiers were killed every hour. In the face of such great pressure, the US military not only did not collapse, but gradually adapted to the harsh living environment on the island. When the Republic Marines came ashore, the US military immediately launched a fierce counterattack, causing great casualties to the Republic Marines a few days before the battle.

The problem is that this high fighting spirit has only been maintained for a few days.

It has to be admitted that the US military has many similarities with the Republican army. Not to mention, the victory of the two armies on the battlefield was accumulated with massive amounts of materials. If there were not enough combat materials and a smooth logistics supply line, the combat effectiveness of the two armies would be greatly reduced.

For the American soldiers on Tinian Island, the battle will be over as long as they lose hope.

The Republic Navy obtained the sea control of the waters near Tinian Island in the month of 2000. It also organized forces to intercept the US transport ships heading to Tinian Island. Two days later, that is, on the day of 2000, the Republic Marine Corps recruited the first US Marine Infantry Battalion to surrender in an entire system. On the day of 2000, the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps surrendered all after being surrounded.

Although the US military persisted for another three weeks after this, until February, when the last batch of US troops drilled out of the cave and surrendered to the Republic Marines, which controlled all surface positions, in the battle after the moonrise, the US military rarely organized large-scale counterattacks, or even did not carry out organized resistance. Most of the time, they used long-established defensive positions, especially underground fortifications to block the Republic Marines, or counterattacked by cold guns. In short, as logistics support was difficult to sustain and materials were increasingly scarce, the US military's resistance was becoming increasingly weak, and its fighting spirit and morale plummeted.

It is not difficult to understand that in the early days of the war, most of the US military were "contract soldiers", which is often called volunteer soldiers. These officers and soldiers basically took military service as their profession, that is, they used government money to fight for the government. Although these "professional soldiers" had very high professional qualities and a strong sense of honor, according to the tradition of the US military, after they had already made resistance and had lost the ability to continue to resist, they could choose to surrender. To put it bluntly, after making the best efforts, they still could not change the outcome of the defeat, for American soldiers, surrendering is not a shameful thing.

After the offensive and defensive battle on Tinian Island, the Republic Marines did not go south immediately.

According to relatively reliable information, the Republic's Navy and the Marine Corps had a relatively large disagreement on the issue of continuing to move south. The Navy certainly hoped that the Marine Corps would continue to work hard, and even if they did not attack Rota Island, which had been transformed into the largest maritime ammunition depot in the world, they should attack Guam. The Marine Corps' idea was that the naval fleet was responsible for surrounding and blocking Guam, while the Marine Corps went to sweep Micronesia or occupy Wake Island. That is to say, one believed that Guam should be occupied, and the other believed that there was no need to occupy Guam.

Among the reasons listed by the Navy, the most important thing is the military facilities on Guam.

According to the navy, Guam can become the most important advance base for the Republic in the Western Pacific. In the following attack, whether it is to sweep the southward Pacific region or attack the Hawaiian Islands in the east, the troops will start from Guam more than from Okinawa. They can not only shorten the attack distance by four to kilometers of blade force, but also shorten the logistics support line by the same distance. This greatly improves the offensive efficiency.

The most important reason why the Marines opposed the attack on the pipeline was casualties. In terms of area, Guam accounts for one cattle of the land area of ​​the entire Mariana Islands. From the number of military facilities, Guam also accounts for more than half of the number of garrisons. In terms of the number of garrisons, the US troops on Guam account for 60% of the total garrisons of the archipelago. Combined with these factors, the troops required to attack Guam must be several times more than that of attacking Saipan and Tinianu. The price required is also several times more than that of attacking Saipan and Tinianu. These forces are enough to sweep the entire Micronesia, or to march into the Hawaiian Islands after occupying Wake Island.

In fact, neither side mentioned the key points.

The purpose of the Navy's attempt to let the Marines attack Guam is not to be a frontier military base. For fleets and fleets with a maximum speed of 70 knots, it is only a voyage from Okinawa to Guam. After occupying Guam, it will take a lot of effort to repair destroyed military facilities. It even takes enough time and force to eliminate explosives buried by the US military on the island, so it is not necessarily a matter of calculation. Judging from the situation at that time, the Navy wanted to attract the attention of the US military by attacking Guam and allow the US military to continue to increase its troops to Guam. The inability to launch an attack in other directions will give the Republic's Navy enough time to restore combat effectiveness. You must know that

After the first main fleet retreated to Naha, the Republic's Navy's main combat force in the Western Pacific was three maritime bases. Although the situation of the US Navy was worse and it was even difficult to reinforce Guam, when both sides were weak in attack, the Navy certainly could not support the Marines to "send a letter to the attack of other Continental" and asked the Marines to find something in the Mariana Islands." At that time, if the Marines did not attack Guam after occupying Tinian Island, the US military would definitely take the opportunity to attack. Considering the battle between the Middle East and the mainland battlefields, the Republic's Navy had more reason to let the Marines capture Guam.

Based on the actual situation, especially the situation on the Pacific battlefield, the Marine Corps' view is more rational, that is, when occupying Saipan and Tinian and having sufficient ability to block Guam, attacking Guam is indeed a thankless thing. Although the Marine Corps did not lie, that is, occupying Guam at a heavy price is likely to be meaningless, but in the purpose, the Marine Corps does not refuse to send troops, but hopes to use this matter to clarify the relationship with the navy in terms of command authority. As we all know, the Marine Corps is an independent branch, and the biggest difference between independent branch and branch is that it is compared with the military during wartime.

At a lower level, you must obey the command of the military. That is to say, in combat operations, the Marine Corps is the part of the navy that extends to the land, which is comparable to the naval aviation. The problem is that as an independent military, the Marine Corps and the Navy are very different, such as having independent aviation, transport fleets, and even the dominance of amphibious fleets, so they have the ability to stand alone. In the battle against Saipan and Tinian, the conflict between the Marine Corps and the Navy has emerged, that is, Marine Corps officers and soldiers often have to obey the command of naval generals who have no experience in ground combat, delaying the fighter planes, and paying the price for it.

After understanding this, it is not difficult to find that the Marines must have to board Guam and will not wait too long.

Of course, if the battle in Guam is too fierce, at the latest after occupying Guam, it is possible that before occupying Guam, you can get a greater say.

Just as the Republic Marines were preparing to attack Guam, something big happened on the battlefield.

On March 7, after the last batch of officers and soldiers were withdrawn, the US military took the initiative to detonate the ammunition depot on Rota Island, thus creating the first artificial natural disaster in human history.

As mentioned earlier, Rota Island is the largest ammunition depot of the US military in the Western Pacific. After the United States joined the war, the US military began to strengthen the defense of the Mariana Islands and transported a lot of ammunition and drug resources to Rota Island. Therefore, in terms of the amount of ammunition stored, Rota Island is definitely the largest ammunition depot in the world at that time. According to the records of the US military, by March 7, 2019, the ammunition and drug resources stored in Rota Island will not be less than 10,000 tons. Even if some of them are gun bullets that will not explode, some are kinetic energy shells, and most of the ammunition will not be very large. If these ten thousand kilns of ammunition explode, the energy released will be roughly equivalent to a nuclear warhead of ten thousand tons. More importantly, from the perspective of security, the US military set the ammunition depot at sea level, and the main body is at the sea level to the persuasion of rice.

There is no doubt that when the US military designed the ammunition depot on Rota Island, they only considered attacks from outside, but they did not think that one day they would blow up the ammunition depot with their own hands.

Imagine how high the waves would be raised if a nuclear warhead of ten thousand tons be detonated below the sea?

From a theoretical basis, the tsunami caused by this was enough to sweep all beaches within a radius of thousands of kilometers and sweep away all the people on the beach.

Fortunately, no matter how advanced the detonation technology of the US military is, it is impossible to detonate tens of thousands of tons of ammunition at almost the same time, so it is impossible to release the energy generated by the explosion of tens of thousands of tons of ammunition at the same time, and the destructive effect of the energy released one after another is obviously much smaller. Fortunately, Rota Island is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest land or large densely populated islands, so the tsunami produced can only affect several nearby islands, and the impact on Japan, Ryukyu and the Philippine Islands thousands of kilometers away is very small.

Unfortunately, the last group of US troops evacuated from Rota Island in their operations. The US troops, who were also in charge of the detonation of the ammunition depot, left on attack submarines, instead of taking vertical takeoff and landing transport aircraft. At that time, there were about many old vertical takeoff and landing transport aircraft on the island.

Affected by this, the Republic has always believed that the US military deliberately detonated the ammunition depot on Rota Island and wanted to destroy Tinian Island with this purpose. The US commander who planned and carried out the mission committed a war crime. After the war, the Republic also spent a lot of effort to investigate and sent the US commander who planned and directed the operation to the military court. On Tinian Island to the north, a large number of Republic Marines stationed on the beach were stationed on the beach. When they felt the shock caused by the dangerous explosion, they woke up many sleeping officers and soldiers, which awakened thousands of Marines stationed on the beach at that time. However, many people thought it was an earthquake! But they did not expect it to be the United States.

The army detonated the ammunition depot on Rota Island, and did not expect that when the first wave had already been generated, the first wave had already hit. According to the records of the Republic Marine Corps, in addition to the death of the flying officers and soldiers, there were also Qin people missing. Fortunately, Tinian Island blocked between Rota Island and Saipan, so the tsunami did not pose too much threat to Saipan. Moreover, there were enough barracks on Saipan Island, and officers and soldiers did not need to live in tents on the beach, so there were no casualties. Only a few merchant ships anchored in Saipan Port were affected by the waves and had minor collision accidents.

In fact, the US military is also a victim, and a larger victim.

In terms of distance, Rota Island is right between Tinian and Guam, so when Tinian was hit by a tsunami, Guam was also hit by a tsunami. More importantly, Guam's terrain is low in the north and high in the south, accounting for about one-quarter of the island's area. The average altitude of the old Mianderson Air Base is less than here, so when the tsunami hit, it almost swept the entire northern plains. At that time, the US military did not warn the garrison on Guam. Fortunately for the US military, after being continuously bombarded by the Republic Marine Corps for several months, not only the Anderson Air Base was abandoned by the US military, but most of the officers and soldiers on the island were moved to the southern mountainous areas, with only dozens of observation points in the northern plains and only one company of the garrison.

Mu Yong suspected that this sudden "attack" had an impact on both sides of the war and also changed the Pacific battlefield.

From a tactical perspective, the greatest significance of the US military's move is not to prevent the four-stewed ammunition medicines on Rota Island from falling into the hands of the Republic's army, nor to force the Republic's army to spend more time preparing for combat operations to attack Guam, but to greatly reduce the importance of Guam.

Although the tsunami coverage area on Guam only accounts for about the entire island, and there is not much silt caused by the tsunami, after all, the Mariana Islands are a typical volcanic archipelago, and the average water depth nearby reaches thousands of meters. The energy of Shanghai thunder itself is not large, and it is not able to roll up much seabed silt. Therefore, after the tsunami, the thickness of the silt silt on the plains in the northern Guam is less than meter. However, after the tsunami, it takes a lot of time to restore the operation of the military base in the northern Guam to a very amazing manpower and material resources. More importantly, half of the military facilities on Guam are concentrated in this area that covers the entire island. Even the Apula Naval Base in the middle of the island, and several military bases in the south have not been destroyed or even affected, because the military base groups have been destroyed. For the Republican army, the significance of occupying Guam is much less than before.

From another perspective, for the US military, continuing to defend Guam is not as meaningful as before.

According to some information found after the war, at the end of March 4, the US military dispatched vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, sea-effect boats, sea-effect boats, sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying sea-flying islands, for example, in April, two land brigades on Guam were sent to Wake Island and Midway Island respectively, and in the month they began to transfer troops to Micronesia. Although the last batch of US troops persisted until the Republic Marines boarded Guam and arrived at the Port of Apula before surrendering, the prisoners of war that the Republic Marines hosted on the island only had 10% of the total number of troops deployed on the island at their peak. This shows that

After using huge billions of arms on Rota Island to create the first artificial tsunami, the US military made a strategic decision to give up Guam. The problem is that if the US military blatantly withdraws troops from Guam, it will not only allow the Republic to send troops to attack Guam immediately, but also allow the Republic's Navy to dispatch all the forces that can be mobilized to intercept the retreating US military. With the sea control force not being dominated by the dominant sea control force, the first main fleet of the Republic's Navy was about to recover its combat effectiveness. The fleet that the US military could compete with was in the manufacturing plant on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, which was equivalent to ruining the old ten thousand Marines and the old ten thousand Navy Air Force officers and soldiers. Affected by this, the US military could only withdraw troops from the island by evacuation.

It is hard to understand that after the discovery of the US military withdrawing from Guam, the Republic did not immediately make the decision to occupy Guam.

With the reconnaissance capabilities of the Republic's Navy and the capabilities of the Republic's intelligence agencies, we must know that the US military is transferring the Guam garrison to nearby islands. According to some information disclosed by the Military Intelligence Agency after the war, as early as the early Ming Dynasty, the Military Intelligence Agency received intelligence and learned that the United States was adjusting its strategic defense deployment in the Western Pacific. Based on these intelligences, it is enough to judge that the US authorities have made a strategic decision to abandon the Mariana Islands, intending to establish the Aleutian Islands in the north, through Midway and Wake Island, and then along the Marshall Islands and Microni.

The Federated States of West Asia finally reached the strategic defense line of the Philippines. In this way, the Republic either sent troops to occupy Guam or launched the next round of strategic offensive in a timely manner. Because the investment in launching a strategic offensive was huge and sufficient preparation time was required, the ideal choice was to occupy Guanwu and prevent the US troops from withdrawing, that is, to turn Guam into a battlefield according to the navy's intentions, so that the US military had to fight the Republic's army here for the sake of the Lido Ten Thousand soldiers on the island. The problem was that the Republic's army did not immediately send troops to occupy Guam. It even did not intercept the retreating US troops.

Based on the situation at that time, I can only believe that this must be related to the Republic's Navy.

The reason is very simple. If the decisive battle in Guam, the navy must participate in the war and invest its main force, that is, the first main fleet that is about to restore combat effectiveness. Although this move is likely to give the US military no choice and invest more troops on the battlefield of the Mariana Islands, especially the naval fleet. However, in the long run, in Guam, when Guam has no obvious strategic value, if the navy's only main fleet takes risks in order to annihilate the US military's live power, it will not only be cost-effective, but will also have a serious impact on the subsequent strategic offensive actions. If the navy is allowed to choose, it will definitely save its troops and wait until it is ready for a strategic offensive before attacking with all its strength.

Of course, there is another very important reason why the Republican army did not attack Guam immediately.

To put it bluntly, it is the strategic inspiration of the "Rota Island Big Bang".

"The big explosion in Rota Island. The first thing that comes to mind is what will happen if one replaces the 10,000 tons of ammunition and medicine on the island with a nuclear warhead of the same equivalent. In fact, you don't need to be so ruthless. Shrink the equivalent by the old times, that is, detonate at 10,000 meters above the sea surface. What will happen if a nuclear warhead of a nuclear warhead of ten thousand tons have?

The answer is clear. Tinian Island was engulfed by a tsunami. The ground of Saipan and most of Guam were engulfed. The Philippine Islands, Taiwan Island, Ryukyu Islands and Japanese archipelago, thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, will be affected. Most of the islands and reefs in Micronesia to the south will be covered with silt, and New Guinea will be affected, and the soldiers and civilians who will die will not be less than 10,000.

For the US military, there is definitely no shortage of nuclear warheads.

More importantly, the Republican authorities are not sure whether the US military has reserved nuclear warheads on Guam.

Although according to the provisions of the London Treaty, the US military can only deploy strategic bombers to perform alert missions on Guam to provide support for strategic submarines that perform patrol missions. They cannot deploy nuclear warheads separately on the island. Moreover, these regulations have been supported by verification, no one can guarantee that after the outbreak of the war, the US military did not secretly transport nuclear warheads to the island, even tactical nuclear warheads. You should know that with the US nuclear technology, even if it is just a tactical nuclear warhead, it can increase the explosion equivalent from thousands of tons to millions, or even tens of millions of tons, and all it needs is just a laboratory with a dust-free factory and appropriate equipment.

Imagine what would happen if the US military had a big explosion in Guam, and it was a big explosion caused by a nuclear warhead? Think harder. If the US military buried the trumpet head on a commanding height on the island, such as the top of the Lanlan Mountains, and under the trumpet. What would happen if the Republic Marines landed when they detonated? If we had to think more comprehensively, what would happen if the US military used the island's large-caliber electromagnetic guns to drop shells equipped with nuclear warheads on the landing fleet outside the sea?

It can be said that these doubts have forced the Republican authorities to be more cautious at this time.

Of course, theoretically speaking, the harm of the US military's use of tactical nuclear weapons is far greater than the benefits. The reason is very simple. If the US military sets this precedent on the battlefield, the Republic's army will have reason to drop a tactical nuclear warhead on all islands stationed in the Pacific with US troops, and it is a real tactical nuclear warhead, rather than a fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapon. Even if this is done, it is impossible to kill all the US military on the island, and it cannot even cause harm to the US military hidden in underground fortifications dozens of meters above the ground. However, it will definitely pollute the surface and nearby waters of the island, incapacitated the US military's ability to move, and prevent those transport ships without the three-defense capabilities from approaching the island. In other words, doing so will enable all the island fortresses in the Pacific to become decorations, allowing the Republic's Navy to take Australia directly and even directly attack the US mainland.

The problem is that in the face of this realistic problem, the Republic's Navy and Marine Corps cannot be unprepared.

According to relevant information from the Republic Navy. After the "Rota Island Big Bang", the Navy issued the first document of the United Nations to allow all warships to undergo a three-defense inspection, and to increase the protection level of the three-defense system during the inspection. The second document of the Navy is also related to this, that is, all warships under construction and design must not only comprehensively strengthen their radiation resistance, but also double their sink resistance under harsh conditions. According to this standard, all large warships above 10,000 tons can resist marine disasters caused by 40,000 tons nuclear warheads within the old kilometer, or marine disasters caused by 1,000 tons of nuclear warheads under the sea at a high altitude explosion of 1,000 tons, or marine disasters caused by 1,000 tons of nuclear warheads under the sea at a kilometer of resistance. It can be said that this requirement is very high and is inevitable

It will have a huge impact on the design and construction of the warships. Like the Navy, the Marine Corps also did similar work. According to the order issued by the Marine Command, not only did individual three-defense equipment be transported to the front line troops immediately, and all main combat platforms deployed on the front line underwent three-defense inspections, but also put forward new three-defense requirements for all equipment being manufactured and designed. Take the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles as an example, in addition to withstand the radiation and high temperature and high pressure generated by the 40,000-ton nuclear warhead in the old kilometer outer space explosion, it must also have the ability to reach the projection point of the explosion center in the old minutes after the nuclear explosion and perform combat missions. It can be said that this alone makes all heavy equipment of the Marine Corps have to be improved.

It can be said that even the Republic Army was shocked at that time

If tactical nuclear weapons have the greatest impact on anyone, it must be the army, not the navy. You must know that when the US military created the "Rota Island Big Bang", the Republic's Army had already achieved victory on the mainland battlefield. Millions of troops marched in two directions not only swept away most of Ukraine, but also pointed the front of the troops towards Moscow. According to Yuan Chenhao's estimate, as long as he could occupy Ryazan, Tula, Vladimir, Yaroslavl and other places in the suburbs of Moscow in the summer of Mengkou, the EU will join the war before the arrival of autumn, and Russia will also reach the end of the cold wind at the end of the four years. If this is the case, the most important thing for the Republic's army on the Eastern European plain is the nuclear warheads buried on the battlefield by the Russian army, especially the nuclear warheads buried in the occupied areas.

If the Russian army could find a way to build a nuclear warhead at the republic's troop assembly point, even if it was just a nuclear mine, the persuasion could kill the republic soldiers within a radius of several thousand meters and create a radioactive contamination area of ​​about ten thousand square kilometers. For a nation that was already desperate, there was nothing that could not be done, so the Russian army would use nuclear mines to build the last line of defense in Moscow. Like Kutuzov used a ruined Moscow to deal with the republic army. To this point, even if the republic army did not need to use Moscow to keep warm, it would give up this seriously polluted city. Of course, the catastrophic consequences of this are even more unimaginable.

It can be seen from this that the Republic's army was almost "scared of nuclear talks".

In fact, we need to be wary of not only nuclear weapons, but also chemical weapons, biological weapons and meteorological weapons that can also produce destructive effects or have the ability to mass destruction. The most worthy of these and the most worthy of attention is not the meteorological weapons related to the "Rota Island Big Bang., which have long been banned by the international community and international organizations, but various superpowers and technological powers are secretly studying genetic weapons. For example, according to relatively reliable news, long before the London Treaty officially came into effect, Israel secretly developed genetic weapons specifically targeting Arabs based on the genetic differences between Jews and Arabs, which are likely to be sterilized by Arab men. Although after being exposed by the media, the Israeli authorities denied the relevant research

.And after the London Treaty was decorated, no relevant evidence was found in Israel, but Israel has sufficient scientific and technological strength to develop such a genetic weapon that can destroy a specific nation. More importantly, genetic weapons are transmitted through organisms, and no one can definitely mutate during the transmission process, thus causing damage to developers. It is precisely this way that no country dares to use genetic weapons in war. Of course, scientists have long proved that the genetic similarity between human races and populations is as high as Mu Wan, and the differences are very even 80% of men's "chromosomes are completely consistent. That is, 80% of men are descendants of the same ancestor. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to use genetic weapons to deal with a specific ethnic group.

Affected by this, at the end of April of the year, the Republic's authorities issued a formal note to the Alliance of the West Troop Group and Russia through Jordan and Switzerland. On the premise of the collective interests of mankind, they required clear restrictions on the means of war, that is, the warring parties shall not use it under any circumstances, which will cause human destruction, cause significant harm to innocent civilians, and produce unpredictable consequences. Weapons of mass destruction that have not been tested in war and may cause serious harm, have been umbrellas by the International Concave.

There is no doubt that diplomatic notes in wartime states are definitely different from those in normal times.

When submitting the note, the Republic also made a commitment that as long as the enemy does not use the destructive and mass destructive weapons mentioned above, the Republic will not use any destructive and mass destructive weapons at any time and under any circumstances. More importantly, the Republic also clearly proposed countermeasures, that is, any hostile state uses "restrictive weapons" in war to cause damage to the Republic or the allies of the Republic or the Republic, or has an unnegligible potential impact, and the Republic will inevitably retaliate with destructive means.

After the Republic issued this diplomatic note, the first corresponded were European countries, not the United States and Russia.

It can be said that it was the active actions of European countries that made the United States and Russia agree to negotiate, that is, special negotiations on war means.

There is no doubt that the scope of negotiations must exceed the means of war.

To put it bluntly, means serve the purpose. If the same goal can be achieved, then it is not a big problem to adopt different means. The key is that if only one means can achieve the goal, it will be difficult to restrict such means. In fact, starting from international law, any country has the right to defend sovereignty and territory. And any means can be used for this. That is to say, when the Patriotic War is carried out, international law does not restrict the means of war, and there is no prohibition of the use of weapons in the arsenal.

The key is here, that is, does the defense have the right to use weapons of mass destruction like nuclear weapons?

Of course, to put it another way, after the defense party promises not to use nuclear weapons, can the necessary foundations of its sovereignty, territory and other countries be guaranteed?

It is obvious that if this problem is not resolved, the negotiations will not have any results.

To put it bluntly, the republic must first promise to guarantee the sovereignty of the defeated country, otherwise Russia will not make concessions. The problem is that if Russia is allowed to retain all the sovereignty of the country, this war will become meaningless to the republic and is unacceptable to the republic.

Of course, no matter what, it is much better to have negotiations than not.

Affected by these factors, from the end of April to the end of the month, the Republic's army slowed down the intensity of the offensive on all fronts, and even gave up the offensive on some fronts.

It was not until early June that the Republic's Navy put the occupation pipeline on the agenda after the withdrawal of most of the United States from Guam.

In order to ensure safety, the Republic's Sky Army launched dozens of small reconnaissance satellites specially used to collect radioactive data, conducted multiple remote sensing detections on Guam and several nearby islands, and only after confirming that there was no abnormal radiation, the Marine Corps was issued a login "license" to the landing.

When the Marines landed on Guam in mid-June, it was mentioned earlier that the large US troops all went to other islands. The troops left on Guam surrendered to the Republic Marines that landed on the island and became prisoners without any resistance.

Judging from the situation at that time, the US authorities were also worried about being countered by the Republic.

According to unconfirmed rumors, after the "Rota Island Big Bang", several US military generals suggested deploying tactical nuclear weapons on frontier islands to attack landing forces and approaching landing fleets. However, this proposal was rejected by Ducheway after it was submitted to the White House and was ordered not to mention these things. Therefore, there is reason to believe that Ducheway should know that doing so will not benefit the United States, because there will be no more nuclear warheads in the US arsenal than the Republic, and the Republic's navy has the advantage and has the tactical initiative. The use of tactical nuclear weapons will only be detrimental to the US military.

In fact, shortly after the war started, the Republic and the United States reached a tacit understanding on the use of weapons of mass destruction mainly based on nuclear weapons. That is, when the war loses control, not only the winners are unprofitable, but the losers will also lose more thoroughly. It can be said that if there is no such tacit understanding and it is relaxed from the beginning, then at the beginning of the year, that is, after the United States joined the war, the navies of both sides had already used nuclear warheads in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. You must know that using nuclear warheads is the most efficient in dealing with aircraft carrier combat groups!

The problem is that the tacit understanding between the Republic and the United States is difficult to get the recognition of other nuclear countries. Not to mention, Russia will not consider any tacit understanding when life and death is at risk, and will definitely use tactical nuclear warheads in the arsenal at the last moment. Of course, after the strategic strike after the war, Russia will definitely not have too many nuclear warheads. According to the Military Intelligence Bureau, it will definitely not exceed Limei, and no one can be thrown into the Republic, and it is unlikely that it will even be thrown into the head of the Republic's army. The problem is that Russia has the ability to bury these nuclear warheads in Moscow and let hundreds of thousands of republic troops invade Moscow be buried with them.

It can be seen from this that the United States participated in negotiations in Switzerland and hoped to stabilize Russia.

You should know that it is not only the Russian army and the Republican army that fight on the Russian battlefield, but also the Russian army that guards Moscow. If the crazy Russians really want to accompany hundreds of thousands of Republican troops, then the hundreds of thousands of American troops that defend Moscow will also go to hell.

The United States can accept Russia's defeat, but it cannot accept hundreds of thousands of American troops to be buried with Russia.

Affected by this, in the second half of the four years, the US military gave up its counterattack on the Pacific battlefield. Its main task was to stabilize the strategic defense line. Similarly, after occupying Guam, the Republic's Navy turned its focus to the Philippines in the west, that is, to make the Philippine authorities choose with military threats. This effort finally came into effect in a month, that is, at the end of the month, the Philippine President announced his withdrawal from the Western Conference Group after receiving support from the military and parliament and formed a "Peaceful and Friendly Mutual Assistance Treaty" with the Republic. Although the Philippines did not immediately perform its responsibilities as an allies, that is, did not declare war on its "old boss", this change still had a profound impact on the situation in the Pacific.

By the end of the year, the Republic's Navy can finally consider going south to attack Australia!
Chapter completed!
