Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 107, Towards a Decisive Battle

The dilemma is discovered... By the end of the year, when the Republic's Navy was preparing for the Pacific War, the battle in the Atlantic Ocean also made a major breakthrough. Affected by this, the Republic's authorities had more choices when entering the United States.

It can be said that this is also the most prominent and most important issue in the sacred world.

If we only start from the navy's standpoint, we will naturally focus on the Pacific battlefield, that is, after capturing Central and American states with Panama as the core, we will march into the West Coast of the United States, or land on the Gulf Coast of the southern United States from the Caribbean Sea. There is no need to detour from the Cape of Good Hope or the Strait of Gibraltar to enter the Atlantic Ocean. Then we will land on the East Coast of the United States from the Atlantic Ocean.

district.

In fact, the construction of the navy is basically based on this strategy.

Take the crucial fleet construction as an example. By the time of the Chinese New Year, the Navy deliberately slowed down the construction of warships. To be precise, it did not expand the construction plan of warships, but used the excess production capacity to build amphibious ships and maritime bases. The loss rate of transport ships in the Chinese New Year is much smaller than expected, and the resources originally planned to be used to build transport ships can be used to build warships. In this way, the Navy has become a "logistics captain" who transports and supports Marines to a large extent. Even if the fleet's combat capabilities still have a suppressed advantage, it is difficult for the Navy to launch a strategic offensive on the Atlantic Ocean when ensuring that the Pacific Ocean is the main battlefield, or strategic offensive operations on the Atlantic Ocean require great risks.

The problem is that this strategy of the Navy is unacceptable to the Army.

Although according to the post-war statement, the biggest change brought by the Third World War to military power was to let the Sky Army replace the Army and Navy and become the number one branch, during the war, especially when occupying the territory of the enemy, the Army and Navy still had irreplaceable importance. Especially the Army. In the entire Third World War, except for the Marine Corps with similar capabilities, no military branch could replace the Army. Because of its limited scale and its comprehensive combat capability, the Marine Corps did not have the qualifications to replace the Army, and at most it could complete specific combat tasks on certain specific battlefields.

Facing the continent, the army is still the key force to win. If it is carried out according to the navy's plan, then in the late stage of the war, at least for the next 2 to 3 years, the Republic's Army will do nothing. Although ground troops are still needed when entering the American continent, especially in the battle to occupy the Central American region, a large number of ground troops are needed, but the Central American region is a typical "isthmus", that is, the terrain is very narrow, with seas on both sides, as long as the navy can successfully capture Pana

The Horse Canal allows the fleet to enter the Caribbean Sea. The Marines can shoulder the burden of ground war. There is no need to worry about the army. More importantly, by the end of the year, the size of the Marines of the Republic exceeded 10,000, and the total strength of the combat troops exceeded 40,000. The 40,000 Marines also included amphibious fleets, Marine aviation, Marine bases and other support units. Even if they do not have the ability to defeat the US Army alone, they are still confident of winning on the Central American battlefield. After taking over the Central American region, the Republic Sea

The army will definitely march into the Caribbean Sea, and the operation to sweep away many islands in the Caribbean is also a specialty for the Marine Corps. Even if it is necessary to march into Cuba and establish a military base to march into the United States in Cuba, the army does not need to intervene. After controlling the Caribbean Sea, the Navy is likely to choose to cooperate with the Sky Army, that is, to adopt a method in the Southwest Pacific. Strategic bombing is used to destroy the US national infrastructure, defeat the basic forces of the United States to continue fighting, and force the US authorities to admit defeat.

The war production capacity for the Republic broke out in four years and could last for more than seven years, that is, it could ensure that military output would not drop significantly before the recession. Therefore, as long as the navy entered Cuba in two years, it would have a full year to carry out strategic bombing of the United States. It would only take 2 to 3 years to force the United States to surrender. In view of reducing casualties in the war, the Republic's authorities are likely to adopt the proposals of the Navy and the Sky Army at this time, and not land on the United States, and destroy the United States with strategic bombing.

It can be seen from this that if the Navy's plan is supported, the war will have little to do with the Army.

Although no one can deny the significant contributions made by the Republic's Army, we must know that in human history, the Republic's Army was the only ground force that swept across the three continents of Eurasia and Africa. The area conquered in World War III was twice as many as the Mongolian cavalry led by Genghis Khan and twice as many as the Roman Empire. But these were not enough to satisfy the Republic's Land Grass, because the final result of World War III was not the battle on the Eurasia and Africa, but the battle on the American continent, that is, defeating the United States can achieve the final victory day. It can be said that all the battles before this were prepared for the march to the United States. When the army prepared for 4 years, it was discovered that it was a bamboo basket to fetch water. The feeling can be imagined.

Affected by this, when determining strategic profits, the Army firmly opposed launching an attack from a single direction.

When refuting the naval war plan, the army raised a very realistic problem, that is, without the two oceans' sea power, the combat operations to attack the Panama Canal will definitely be affected and even suffer a crushing defeat. Tactically speaking, even if the United States loses the sea power in the Pacific, it can still use the sea power in the Atlantic Ocean, especially the Caribbean Sea to prevent the Republic's Marines from attacking Panama. For example, the US military can block the large-caliber electromagnetic guns as long as it deploys a large-caliber electromagnetic gun in Port-au-Prince in Haiti.

If the entire Panama Canal can be locked, if large-caliber electromagnetic guns can be deployed in Kingston, Jamaica, it can block the entire Central American region. Because there is no entry into the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, the threat of US shore defense forces in Central American states, it is difficult for the Republic's Navy to effectively strike the US long-range artillery in Haiti and Jamaica, and it is impossible to ensure that the Marines will not be subject to large-scale artillery attacks when attacking Panama, and it is even more impossible to ensure that the casualties of the battle are within an acceptable range.

The question raised by the Army received support from the intelligence department.

According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, as early as the mid-term, shortly after the Battle of Midway, the US Navy increased the order quantity of new electromagnetic guns, but the construction plan of the US military's "Long Island-class main ship and the "Rhode Island-class main ship" did not advance. That is, the Huimen... The second-tier Navy ordered the United Pound-class large-caliber electromagnetic gun that was far more than the main ship needed. Correspondingly, a so-called "multi-functional mission module ship" appeared in the new generation of maritime bases of the US Navy. According to the military situation, a so-called "multi-functional mission module ship" appeared.

According to the Bureau's analysis, this kind of module ship is actually the "fireship" of the Republic's Navy that can perform long-range strike missions under specific circumstances. More importantly, if only to defend the Panama Canal and cut the canal when necessary to prevent the Republic's fleet from entering the Caribbean Sea, the US military only needs to deploy the Kuli class electromagnetic gun in Kingston or Port-au-Prince. By the same token, if the Republic Marines are to prevent the Republic's Marines from attacking Central America, the US military can deploy long-range artillery units in Jamaica, and does not require a separate firepower ship.

In the words of the army, whether the Central and American states can be occupied and controlled by the Panama Canal is not the number of Marines that can be invested, but whether it can seize the sea control power, especially the sea control power on the Atlantic Ocean on the Yuner. In this way, before attacking Central and American states, the navy must march into the Atlantic Ocean and push the front to the Caribbean Sea, at least with air force to attack the US troops on the Greater Andres and the Little Andres Islands. Now, the problem is more acute.

Entering the Atlantic Ocean is definitely not a matter for the Navy.

Judging from the situation at the end of childhood, entering the Atlantic Ocean was actually a battle of the army.

Although the navy's position is irreplaceable in the battle to seize sea control, no matter what, the US Navy still has a fleet that cannot be underestimated. Especially by the beginning of the year, the US Navy can at least obtain ugly "Long Island" class battleships. If it drags on for another half a year, it may obtain the "Rhode Island" class battleship with more powerful performance. In addition, the "quasi-main battleships" developed by a larger number of large cruisers to cooperate with the main ships have more outstanding and even no less than the first generation of main ships' naval combat capabilities, multi-purpose destroyers and other warships built during the war, the US Navy will definitely cause trouble for the Republic Navy that entered the Atlantic. However, in the battle to enter the Atlantic, the Republic Navy will definitely cause trouble for the Republic Navy that entered the Atlantic. However, in the battle to enter the Atlantic, the Republic Navy will definitely cause trouble for the Republic Navy. However, in the battle to enter the Atlantic, the Republic Navy will definitely cause trouble for the Republic Navy.

However, in the battle to enter the Atlantic, the Republic Navy will definitely make trouble for the Republic Navy. However, in the battle to enter the Atlantic, the Republic Navy will definitely make the trouble for the Republic Navy.

The seizure of sea control is basically no suspense. The reason is very simple. At the beginning of the year, when the US Navy had a capital ship that was enough to form keys to the main fleet, the number of the main ships of the Republic's Navy had increased to the knife ships, among which the Han-class. If dragged for another half a year, the Republic's Navy could still obtain a powerful third-generation main ship. In addition, the Republic's Navy also obtained matching cruisers and destroyers, and even the Chongqing-class aircraft carrier increased from the previous ones, and it is expected to obtain another three ships at the beginning of the year. In other words, the Republic's Navy's fleet's growth rate far exceeds that of the US Navy, so the Republic's Navy adjusted its construction plan when it was intensified, putting amphibious warships and maritime bases first, and did not expand the scale of large warships.

The problem is that after seizing the sea control power, we will make full use of the sea control power.

How to use sea control is not the final decision of the Navy. In a sense, how to use sea control is more closely related to the Army, especially on the Atlantic battlefield far away from this singular. Without the strong support provided by the Army, the Navy's victory will not be solid.

Strategically speaking, the first thing the Republic's Navy has to consider is the place to march north from the Southern Atlantic Ocean.

Although it can be used to use Argentina's naval base, the Falls Bay in South Africa can be turned into a forward base, and even captured Asuncion in the early stages of its advancement. However, for the navy, every step forward means one step further away from the local area, that is, the logistics support line has a longer episode. Mu Yong doubted that naval battle is a typical high-consumption combat. Whether it is the large-caliber electric collision gun on the main ship or the carrier-based aviation on the aircraft carrier, the ammunition and drug resources consumed when performing combat missions are amazing. Without solid logistics support, any fleet is a decoration.

In the Pacific battlefield, the number of combat support ships that provide ammunition and drug support for combat fleets is twice that of large warships. Considering that the Atlantic Ocean is far away from the Republic and there is no suitable maintenance base nearby, the ratio of combat support ships to large warships should be between 10,000 and 10,000. If the continuous combat time is too long and the combat intensity is relatively large, this ratio may also exceed that of civilians. In other words, sending a main fleet of 8 main ships with large warships to the Atlantic battlefield, female cruisers and old multi-purpose destroyers is needed to prepare fields to the Gu support ships.

In order to cover these support ships, at least anti-submarine escort warships need to be dispatched. Even if the support of anti-submarine escort warships is not considered, the temporary berth of the support ships must be considered. That is, in combat operations, the support ships are "called" operations and will not always follow the combat fleet. A large enough berth is the importance of Falls Bay. How to protect these berths and how to ensure that the support ships can safely meet with the combat fleet, and the fleets transporting materials from the local area to the front can safely reach their destinations is definitely a very tedious, very troublesome and extremely important task.

If these problems cannot be solved, the Republic's Navy's march into the Atlantic Ocean will be a bubble.

In a sense, the navy's unwillingness to enter the Atlantic Ocean is not because it has not defeated the US Navy's stout power, but that entering the Atlantic Ocean will bring more trouble.

Not to mention, even if the navy could easily take Asuncion Island, at the beginning of the year, an amphibious special forces of the Marine Corps occupied the island of Britain, annihilated hundreds of British troops on the island, and had to obtain a forward base before entering the Caribbean Sea. Although from a geographical point of view, French Guiana, located in north Brazil, was the most suitable, but as early as when Europe and Zhejiang participated in the war, France expressed its attitude that it would not support the Republic's combat operations in the Americas. That is, it would not provide a forward base for the Republic. In this way, the Republic's Navy could only choose the Cape Verde Islands in West Africa. Because the Republic's Army had already advanced the front line to Liberia, which was only more than four kilometers away from the Cape Verde Islands, even if there was no sea.

The army can also occupy this archipelago in a low-altitude assault. Therefore, the Republican authorities will definitely hand over this task to Lu Beer, and let the army use it as a base to attack the north and west? For example, after the navy seized the sea control power, the army can use the Cape Verde Islands as a base to attack the Azores, which are worth a thousand kilometers away from the north, or cross the Atlantic Ocean and attack the small Andres Islands, which are nearly four kilometers away from the west. Because the Marines are not as powerful as the Army, especially the large vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft group, the Marines do not even have the chance to intervene in this jumping attack, and it is impossible to break the Atlantic battlefield with the Navy.

The problem is that strategic decision-making power is not in the hands of the Navy.

Judging from the battlefield situation at the end of the year, the best choice to enter the North Atlantic is not to go north from the South Atlantic, but to win the Middle East War and control the Suez Canal, the army advanced west along the "Coastal Corridor" on the southern coast of the Mediterranean, and fought to Morocco, occupied the ports facing the Atlantic, such as Tangier, Dalbeda Casablanca and Safi, and then marched westward with this base. Because Israel has admitted defeat in disguise, the Middle East has been defeated.

The battle on the battlefield is the battle between the Republic's Army and the US Army, and the US Army will definitely not fight to the death without hope. Winning the Middle East War is only a matter of time. Europe is willing to exercise its efforts in lobbying Israel, so the Republic's Army will not prevent the Republic's Army from entering the Atlantic through North Africa, so the Republic's Army can reach Morocco more easily. More importantly, the Republic's authorities only recognize the dominance of Europe in North Africa.

The Republic's position and promised to withdraw troops from North Africa after the war. When the Republic's Army arrived at the Atlantic coast, Europe would open the Strait of Gibraltar, and even acquiesced the Republic to send troops to capture the Gibraltar Fortress belonging to Britain, so that the Republic's Navy would obtain the most convenient maritime passage to enter the North Atlantic Ocean from the Suez Canal and then enter the North Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean. It is more than a kilometer shorter than the route to detour the South Atlantic north from the Cape of Good Hope. There are enough ports and naval bases along the way for the Republic's Navy to use. For example, Malta, which participated in the war as an American allies, could serve as a transit station for the Republic's Navy before entering the North Atlantic. There were also sufficient maritime routes that only after entering the North Atlantic Ocean should be considered to provide a special escort fleet for the fleet, which could minimize the security burden of the Republic's Navy's entry into the North Atlantic.

In short, anyone with some military knowledge should know that this is the most ideal route to march.

In fact, this is exactly the strategic proposition of the Republic Army.

It can be said that on this line of march, no matter how much strength the navy puts into force, at least before the army's armored forces arrived in Casablanca, the navy did not have much room to perform. It can even be said that even if the army pushes the front line to the beach of the Atlantic Ocean, the navy is only an auxiliary force for ground attack, because the army can use Morocco as a springboard to attack the Azores Islands. The archipelago belongs to Portugal, and Portugal is not a member of the European collective security organization, and will still be able to attack Britain by Jinnian.

It was affected by this. In the "Atlantic Strategic Atlantic Offensive Plan" proposed by the Army, the Northern Line attack was emphasized, that is, using North Africa as a springboard, and after obtaining the consent of European continental countries such as France, Germany and Italy, we went north to capture Britain. Of course, the best result was that the British authorities recognized the current affairs and surrendered before the low-altitude assault forces of the Republic Army landed, thus allowing the Republic Army to obtain the best forward base to march into the North American continent. It can be said that as long as the United Kingdom can be occupied,

The Republic's Army can break free from the constraints of the navy, and the defensive power of capturing Iceland or Newfoundland through long-range statistics. There are very weak defense forces on Newfoundland Island in Canada. Although the fleet needs to be relied on when transporting materials to the front line, the safety of the fleet must be ensured, as long as Newfoundland Island can be occupied, it can cover the North Atlantic route by deploying long-range patrol aircraft and anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the UK and Newfoundland Island.

As long as the main force of the Republic Army can be allowed to reach Newfoundland Island, even if it still needs to go south through the Scotia Peninsula, there will be no natural obstacles that can stop the Republic Army from moving south. More importantly, from Newfoundland Island, it can directly capture the eastern region of Canada and the United States, so as to achieve the final victory of the war as quickly as possible. In general, the Army also wants to do it alone.

There is no doubt that this "one-on-one" idea has filled the Army's war plans with problems.

Let’s not talk about whether the army has the ability to cross the North Atlantic and occupy Newfoundland without relying on the navy, and how much time it takes to make this advance, just take control of Britain. If continental European countries such as France, Germany and Italy do not agree with the Republic’s army forcibly attacking Britain, and the British authorities do not have a high awareness, the Republic’s army’s advance will become the fuse for the fall of China and Europe. Even if they take a step back ten thousand steps, Britain is willing to withdraw from the war before the United States and withdraw from the war by surrender, the British authorities will make a fuse on the way of surrender, and continental European countries will not stand by. For example, France, Germany and Italy definitely hope that Britain will surrender to the European collective security organization instead of surrendering to the Republic. Even if it is more ideal, Britain is willing to surrender to the Republic. It will also spend a lot of time to negotiate.

For the Republican authorities, the most important thing at the moment is to shorten the war time.

Although the comprehensive national strength of the Republic has been confirmed from the battlefield performance, that is, the Republic has a war strength far exceeding the United States, for the Republic, the impact of the war that has lasted for four years and the negative effects brought about by it far exceeds any previous war. More importantly, in the years before the outbreak of World War III, the Republic participated in dozens of wars and conflicts of all sizes, among which the large-scale local wars with more than ten thousand troops exceeded the old times, and the average number of times was less than once every four years. Correspondingly, the United States participated in only half of the wars and conflicts of the Republic during the years, Vol.

There were only 6 large-scale wars that were entered, and most of them were before the year of Bing. In the years before the outbreak of World War III, the United States was directly involved in only one large-scale war. Too frequent foreign wars not only trained the world's most powerful military force, but also made the Republic's "Little war-weariness feel very common, inspired by the mission of the country and the nation! Under the cultural thought of greater tolerance for war, the Republic's performance was much better than that of the United States in the early stages of the war, but after aggression, the war-weariness in the Republic had begun to rise, and the resulting social problems also became the main internal contradiction.

Not to mention anything else, by the end of the year, the number of war orphans adopted by social welfare institutions in the Republic was as high as 10,000. You should know that war orphans adopted by social welfare institutions only accounted for about 30,000. That is to say, in the past four years, the Republic's concubines lost their parents and lost their parents due to the war! It can be said that this is a shocking number. You should know that, in the end, the number of soldiers in the Republic was only 10,000, and the number of paramilitary personnel who died and disappeared due to war was less than 10,000, such as seamen on merchant ships, citizens operating in war areas, and personnel stationed in foreign institutions. Since the beginning of the Tiannian period, the first thing the Republic authorities have considered was how to reduce the impact of war on domestic society.

Although the Republican authorities have thought of many solutions, such as starting from July 4, 2018. In addition to Class A enterprises, i.e., arms enterprises, and enterprises producing military materials, the system of rest and taming six days a week, and to the old month and day, this system was promoted to all enterprises. And from the field year, month and day, some Class C enterprises implemented normal working and rest systems, namely working days and daily doses every week, to reduce the intensity of workers' work and allow workers to get enough rest time, but these systems themselves are not perfect. For example, after the implementation of the normal working and rest system, the system was not cancelled, that is, all factories still operated in hours and hours. Workers working at night will not get extra rest time because of overtime. It can be imagined that these systems themselves can only reduce the labor intensity of workers, but cannot restore society to normal state, and cannot completely eliminate the impact of war.

The only way to eliminate the impact is to end the war.

That's why in the year of great importance, the Republican authorities made accelerating the process of war a top priority. It can be said that without increasing the casualties and losses of war, any method that can accelerate the process of war will be adopted and promoted by the Republic authorities. To give a more direct example, with the war strength that the Republic broke out in 20 years, let alone defeating the United States, even if it is occupied by Europe, there is not much problem.

At that time, many people believed that if Europe could not make too much contribution in the war, the republic authorities would likely consider the long-term, and after defeating Russia, they would enter Europe, fundamentally defeat Western civilization, and eliminate potential threats. This is also one of the main reasons why Europe participated in the war at the beginning of the year. That is to say, on issues such as the Middle East War, the republic could completely take a tougher position, rather than letting Europe bargain with the Jewish issue. The republic authorities did not do this, but instead negotiated with Europe patiently, mainly because they did not want to extend the war time. Theoretically, Europe's comprehensive military strength exceeded Russia, and its comprehensive national strength was no worse than the United States. Even if it was a mess, the republic would take two years to defeat Europe, which means extending the war.

On the issue of marching into the Atlantic Ocean, the Republican authorities first considered how to shorten the course of war.

It is not difficult to find out from this that the war plans of the Navy and the Army cannot meet the needs of the Republican authorities. In other words, combining the advantages of the two war plans is the war plans needed by the Republican authorities.

According to relevant information released by the Republic authorities after the war, after the Navy and the Army submitted war plans separately, the Supreme Command instructed the General Staff to come up with a more practical plan based on the two war plans, and the special adviser of the head of state sent by the Supreme Command to participate in the formulation of the work. In other words, it was not Yuan Chenhao who was responsible for formulating the war plans to enter the American continent, but Yuan Chenhao and Hua Jianfeng. Although Hua Jianfeng was only the military adviser of the head of state, without specific official positions, and even the director of the Operations Department of the General Staff in terms of power. However, no one dared to doubt Hua Jian and Feng's influence in the Supreme Command, especially the right to speak in front of the head of state. In fact, in addition to Pei Chengyi, the only one who had the ability and energy to restrain Yuan Chenhao at that time was Hua Jianfeng.

It is precisely with the participation of Hua Jianfeng that the strategic plan formulated by the Republic at the end of Judea was even more powerful.

.

This is easy to understand. When it was the captain of the submarine, Hua Jianfeng was a very pragmatic soldier. In other words, almost all submarine captains were realists and would not have any fantasies about uncertain things. Hua Jianfeng was able to gain Lin Xiaolei's respect and was valued by Pei Chengyi, which also had a lot to do with his pragmatic spirit. It can even be said that Hua Jianfeng had no obvious factional ideas. If he had not had a bad luck and had not encountered a good opportunity, he would have become the Chief of Staff long ago.

Anyway, this is a typical strategic plan.

According to this plan, the Republic's Army had to push the front to Morocco at the end of the first quarter of the year, and to be precise, it was to send troops to occupy Morocco. Because Europe has not yet expressed its attitude on the issue of Morocco. The French authorities have not made any requests for military support, so when entering Morocco, the Republic's authorities, especially the diplomatic departments, must actively cooperate, and the military operations of the Republic's Army will also become the main force to force Europe to make a statement. Most importantly, according to this plan, the Republic's Army and agriculture may Occupy Morocco before winning the Middle East War. To be precise, it is to occupy Morocco to achieve the final victory of the Middle East War. This is easy to understand. The troops sent by the United States to the Middle East and the materials transported to the Middle East must pass through the Strait of Gibraltar. If the Republic Army can occupy Morocco, it can easily block the Strait of Gibraltar and block the US fleet and fleets outside the Mediterranean. In other words, as long as Morocco is occupied, the Republic Army can win the Middle East War without any effort.

The problem is that attacking Morocco is definitely not an easy task.

You should know that at the end of the year, the United States still held the control of the sea in the Mediterranean. Not only did it deploy the largest fleet in the entire Atlantic region in the Eastern Mediterranean, it had the old heart aircraft carrier and hundreds of large warships, and it also had three maritime bases. And there were more than 4 fighter jets deployed in the region alone, and the fighter jets deployed by the Republic's Army and Navy on the Middle East battlefield were nothing but blade holders. In other words, If the Republic Army wanted to march into Morocco from the Middle East, even if it launched an attack in a low-altitude assault, it would first seize air supremacy, and it would be obviously unrealistic to praise air supremacy from the more powerful US military. According to the Republic Army's estimate at that time, if it could not seize air supremacy, in addition to increasing the offensive force and more than twice, the casualties of the combat will exceed the entire Middle East War, thus greatly reducing the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army.

Even if it does not affect the army's combat power, the huge casualties will make the Republican authorities think twice.

From another perspective, this means that it is impossible to advance to Morocco from the Middle East.

Looking back at the Army's actions in the second half of the year, that is, after winning the West African War, we devoted ourselves to fighting units to attack in turn and pushed the front line to Liberia.

There is no doubt that this round of attack is the key. Because Morocco sent troops to occupy the Western Sahara in the south decades ago, in order to compete for Western Sahara, Morocco fought a small-scale war with Mauritania for decades. A small area in the southern part of Western Sahara was under the control of Mauritania, so the combat troops of the Republic of Cottava that arrived in Kottava were less than 1,000 meters away from Morocco. In the middle, they only needed to cross Mali and Mauritania, where the national defense power was minimal. Even if they marched into Rabat, they were only four thousand meters, which was nothing for the low-altitude assault troops of the Republic of China with a normal attack distance of more than 10,000 kilometers.

The problem is that starting from West Africa, many problems need to be solved, first of all, material transportation.

You should know that after the "China-Africa Trunk Line" is completed, it can only support normal combat operations of 2 combat units at most. Even if it is airlifted, it will be at most a combat unit. To control the West African region and advance to Morocco, there are definitely more than one combat unit needed. In theory, at least 6 is needed. In fact, it is very likely to increase to 8. In other words, before entering Morocco, maritime routes must be opened. Fortunately, West Africa is the earliest colony of the Western industrial powers. There is no shortage of excellent ports. For the Republic's Navy, what needs to be done is to establish a maritime transportation line from the Bay of Falls in South Africa to the Gulf of Guinea, and to leave the

The action war fleet and the escort fleet protect this route. Because they are worried about being attacked by the Republic's submarines, the US fleet operating in the Gulf of Guinea had already retreated to the waters north of the Cape Verde Islands in the second half of the year after the end of the West African War. Therefore, the Republic's Navy did not need to mobilize troops, and 2 to 3 combat fleets could seize the sea control power of the Gulf of Guinea. What's more, the combat intensity in the West African region is not very large. The ground forces do not need fire support provided by the navy, and the material consumption of the combat fleet, especially the ammunition consumption, will not be too large. It can minimize the logistics support needs and thus reduce the burden of sea control operations.

It is precisely because the Republic's Navy must seize the sea control of the Gulf of Guinea before the end of February 2019. The transport fleet can deliver all kinds of materials and equipment needed by the offensive troops to West Africa in mid-March, and the army's combat troops can use this as a base to attack Morocco.

Although many people believe that the US Navy will not easily give up the control of the South Atlantic sea, even if the West Africa region has fallen into the hands of the Republic Army, the US Navy will use Asuncion as a base. It blocks the Republic Navy to the north on the South Atlantic and protects the life routes of the North Atlantic, especially the Caribbean. The US Navy takes the initiative to retreat the fleet in the Gulf of Guinea to the sharp waters of the Cape Verde Islands, not retreating, but luring the Republic Navy to go north and fight in a decisive battle in a waters favorable to the US Navy. However, when formulating a combat plan, Hua Jianfeng believed that the US Navy would not send a fleet south to compete with the Republic Navy for control of the sea, and Hua Jianfeng's reason is very simple. That is, the US Navy's strength is not enough to compete with the Republic Navy to promote the sea power in the South Atlantic, and the US Navy cannot withstand major losses.

Affected by this, he entered the Indian Ocean at the end of the year. In addition, there were only three combat fleets that went to the Gulf of Guinea through the Bay of Falls, two of which were the main fleets, and the air fleets were air fleets. Although according to the navy's deployment, after the three combat fleets set off from the Bay of Falls, four maritime bases will be sent to the South Atlantic Ocean, including the fifth-generation maritime base, in order to enhance its existence in the South Atlantic Ocean, from the perspective of investment, it has to be admitted that Hua Jianfeng is indeed bold enough. It is precisely because of this that many people believe that when deploying combat operations, Hua Jianfeng created a decisive opportunity for the Navy in the name of supporting the army to attack Morocco.

From another perspective, it is precisely this kind of deployment that has made the war plan led by Hua Jianfeng become a reality.

To put it bluntly, even if Hua Jianfeng has a high prestige in the navy, if the navy's interests are not fully considered, his combat plan will not be supported by the navy, or at least will not be fully supported by the navy. This is just like Yuan Chenhao must seek benefits for the army. In the context of the fact that the record determines the future, no one can achieve true selflessness and serve the interest groups he serves. In fact, Pei Chengyi is not defeated. When deciding the great strategy of the Republic, he must also serve the interests.
