For the attackers, strategic strikes are undoubtedly the best way to reduce casualties.

As early as the last year of the century, the NATO group led by the United States fought a zero casualty war in the Balkans, mainly based on strategic strikes. It defeated Yugoslavia with dozens of days of high-intensity bombing. It can be said that this was the first war in human history that completely relied on strategic strikes to defeat opponents.

In a sense, pursuing zero casualties is the purpose of every strategist.

The problem is that when this pursuit develops to a certain extent, it is no longer as simple as the pursuit. Instead, it will develop into something extreme. Just like smoking opium, when the commander regards reducing casualties as a task indicator, he will be fascinated by all means that can reduce casualties.

This is the case with strategic strikes.

Affected by this, it was definitely not an accident that the Republican Navy turned California into the largest "no man's land" on the planet in less than a month.

You should know that California is the most populous and economically developed state in the United States. If calculated based on the total economic volume, this state with a population of more than 100 million is the sixth largest economy in the world, second only to the Republic, the EU, the United States, India and Brazil, surpassing Russia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries with a larger population, and is even equivalent to the sum of two Arab countries. In this state that accounts for two-thirds of the coastline of the western region of the United States, it not only has the world-famous Hollywood, but also the Silicon Valley where the modern electronics industry originated. It can be said that it is California that has balanced the development of the eastern and western regions of the United States, making the originally deserted western regions a new driving force for the US economy.

The tragic strategic blow turned this land of hope into a land of despair.

According to some data released after the war, the US authorities did incomplete statistics during the war. Before the end of February of the 3rd year, the war refugees who left California and crossed the Rocky Mountains to enter the Midwest were more than 10,000, of which more than 40,000 were held by the US government and placed in refugee camps. Another 3,000 were poured into various towns and towns, becoming the root cause of unrest in the Midwest United States. Of course, most of the war refugees who did not leave California were forever

It stayed in the canyon of Rocky Mountain for a long time. I'm afraid no one can give an accurate number of how many people died while fleeing, but no one doubted that this is definitely a very large number. According to post-war statistics, only about 10,000 California residents survived after the end of the war. Before the outbreak of the war, the population of California was 10,000. Except for the soldiers recruited by the state, there were about 10,000 Californians who did not live until the end of the war.

About half of these people died from strategic strikes or disappeared due to strategic strikes, while the other half died on the way to escape. First of all, we must admit that most of the war refugees who died on the road to escape were due to lack of food or effective medical assistance, and many were due to fighting for food or medicine. Many died from murder, but no one could deny that without the comprehensive strategic strike of the Republican team, these people would not have left their homes, let alone died on the run.

On the way to death, because refugees mainly entered the Rocky Mountains eastward, many refugees died in the mountainous areas. How many people died in the mountains must not be given an accurate number. It was just that within decades after the end of the war, refugee pits were discovered one after another, including tens of thousands of corpses in the largest pit, and hundreds of corpses in the smallest pit. It is conceivable that there were definitely not a few refugees who died in the mountains at that time. If you conservatively estimate, they were more than 40,000.

This is undoubtedly the masterpiece of the Republic's Navy.

It is precisely because of such a fierce blow that the US authorities had to issue diplomatic notes twice in a row at the end of February, hoping to hold armistice negotiations with the Republic.

The problem is that there is negotiation, but there is no need to be a negotiation result.

On the Key Day, the Republic had its first informal contact with the US ambassador to Switzerland. Because the US authorities did not propose in the notes that under what circumstances could the war be ended by surrender, the Republic had long announced that unless the US authorities surrender, the war would only end when the United States defeated the United States completely. Therefore, this contact was carried out in an informal and secret manner, and was not publicly disclosed, and no third party except the Swiss Foreign Minister was invited to participate.

There is no doubt that such contact is basically meaningless.

According to the information released after the war, during this contact that lasted only for minutes, the two sides exchanged views on the war, especially the way to end the thief dispute.

In fact, both ambassadors were just passing microphones and exchanging basic information with each other. Because the US authorities took the initiative to contact the armistice negotiations, the ambassador of the Republic spoke very strongly, insisting that only the United States surrendered unconditionally. The Republic would stop military operations. If the US authorities decide to surrender unconditionally, there is no need to consult with the Republic for the armistice negotiations. Therefore, the US ambassador's opinion is very simple. The United States will not surrender unconditionally. The other will end the war in a negotiated manner under appropriate circumstances, that is, surrender conditionally. In fact, the Republic's authorities cannot expect the United States to surrender unconditionally, otherwise they will not agree to consult for the armistice negotiations. Instead, they should directly send a butterfly to the United States and demand that the US authorities surrender unconditionally. That is why during this minute of talks, the US ambassador proposed the most important conditions for surrender.

The first is naturally to ensure the continuity and legitimacy of the American regime, that is, the American regime and political system should not be affected. Only the United States is responsible for the war. In a sense, this requirement is not excessive, because the American regime and political system are decided by all Americans, and the American government is initiated. Therefore, the war cannot be held accountable for the war, and the regime and political system decided by the American citizens cannot be held accountable for. The American people in power, that is, federal government officials, who need to bear the responsibility for the war. This also reflects from one aspect that Duqiwei is an excellent leader, but he has encountered a better opponent.

The problem is that this most important requirement is not accepted by the Republic at all. The Ambassador of the Republic only gave a reason to refute that if the reason for the recurrence of the world war cannot be fundamentally resolved, the sacrifices made by the Republic for this war will be meaningless. The citizens of the Republic will definitely not accept such a result. The Republic's authorities cannot make peace with the United States against the will of citizens.

The first question cannot be agreed upon, so don’t discuss the following question.

Of course, the American ambassador did not neglect his duties and still made demands, namely, to ensure the integrity of the United States after the war, to ensure freedom and democracy of the American people, etc.

No matter what, this contact has at least opened up a new era.

In the early morning of March 2, under the influence of contact, the Republican team resumed its strategic strike.

Because the strategic strike against the western region of the United States has basically been completed, the Republic's Sky Army and Navy have expanded the scope of the strike to the Midwest of the United States east of Rockies. The first one to be hit was Denver, known as the "Western Capital".

This is also the first time that the Republic's Sky Army and the Navy have attacked the same target.

The reason is that after the devastating blow to the area around the Chesapeake Bay, Denver has become the "city" of the United States, that is, the political center of the United States. From the perspective of forcing the US authorities to surrender unconditionally, the first move to Denver can maximize the morale of the United States and

Zhi. There is no doubt that the strategic strike this day was extremely fierce.

According to the combat records of the Republic's Sky Army and the Navy, in this day, a total of 10,000 tons of ammunition were thrown into Denver. Although the amount of ammunition dropped is far less than that of previous strategic strikes, not to mention the large cities such as Luo Huiyuan, San Francisco, and Seattle, even the ammunition was thrown in some military bases. However, Denver is a city with a population of less than 40,000. In addition, due to the natural environment, the area of ​​the central city is only about one of the other million-level cities, and it is a relatively small city.

In just a few hours, Denver became hell on earth.

Because the US federal government has moved here, there are detailed statistics on the casualties of the strategic strike. According to statistics released by the US authorities a few days later, there are more than 10,000 victims alone. In addition, there are about the same number of victims that cannot be identified, and there are almost 10,000 missing people. In other words, the number of Denver citizens who escaped this blow will not exceed 10,000! This is easy to understand. In any case, Denver is the Western Capital of the United States. It is the new political center. Because there are federal government agencies here, in the eyes of most citizens, with the religion of Washington, the US federal government will definitely try its best to protect this temporary

All.

More importantly, Denver is a typical inland city, thousands of kilometers away from the coastline. It can be said that basically all Denver citizens think this is the safest place in the United States, otherwise the US president would not have come to take refuge.

This is how war is. The safer the place, the more dangerous it is.

Of course. Denver is just the beginning.

By March, with the four main fleets operating in the Pacific Ocean quickly heading to the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in the Caribbean Sea on March, plus the four main fleets sent there were already four main fleets, which were used in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. More importantly, the Republic's Navy also deployed an estuary fire support fleet to the region, among which the fire support ships equipped with 0 kilogram class electromagnetic guns were close to the auxiliary ships. In addition, there were also those who had been active in the region.

4 aviation fleets and 8 maritime base groups. Because the Sky Army has completed a strategic strike against the Northwest of the United States, it is gradually transferring strategic bombers to the Atlantic Ocean. It is considered to be four maritime base groups deployed in the East Pacific and North Pacific. At that time, there were more than 20,000 strategic bombers deployed in the surrounding areas of the United States! Of course, this does not include strategic bombers that can be deployed in Cuba. If all are included, bombers that can implement strategic strikes on the depths of the United States are around the 4-edge knife stands.

Based on this calculation, in extreme cases, the strike forces of the Republic's Navy and the Sky Army can be deployed to any city in the United States within the time of the fall.

What is this concept?

Not to mention cities, even urban agglomerations. For example, the Northeastern region of the United States, centered on New York, cannot afford to persuade tens of thousands of tons of ammunition to be concentrated. In other words, the promise of persuade tens of thousands of tons of ammunition to turn dozens of large and small towns into flat ground in one area within one day!

To use post-war evaluation, the Republican authorities were no longer bombing the United States, but destroying the United States.

There are two choices before the United States, either surrender or destroy.

Within the following week, several other major cities in the Midwest United States, such as Cheyenne in Daisy, Lou Lake City in Utah, Albuquerque in Phoenix in Arizona, etc., were all hit, and the damage was almost the same as Denver. It can be said that if this continues, in less than two months, the Midwest, which is three times the size of the Western region, will become an unmanned land.

At this time, the Republic's authorities made a decision to suspend bombing, allowing the Sky Army and the Navy to temporarily stop fighting for hours.

Of course, this is not for negotiations with the United States.

Within this hour, the Supreme Command of the Republic made a very important decision, namely integrating the strategic strike forces of the Sky Army and the Navy, establishing a strategic strike command, and taking the Alapacchia Mountains as the boundary, the Navy command on the east and the Tianjun command on the west. However, these two combat commands affiliated with the Strategic Strike Command have the right to mobilize all combat forces in the area.

Doing so is naturally making full use of the combat capabilities of the Republican team.

Through the previous strikes, the Republican Team has summarized an effective tactic, that is, to use the naval strike force to destroy a country's infrastructure. In addition to dealing with more difficult military targets, the attack force of the Sky Army also undertakes the task of killing and killing live forces. In other words, only by combining the strike force of the Navy and the Sky Army can the strike efficiency be maximized.

Of course, within this small hour, the Republican authorities did something more important.

That is to secretly contact several major allies and solicit opinions from these countries on armistice negotiations with the United States.

Although the Republic is the core state of the intensive group and is also the main force in winning the war, the Republic is not strong enough to ignore other countries and not prosper to destroy other countries. Therefore, when it comes to whether to end the war in a negotiated manner, the Republic's authorities must solicit opinions from allies, especially those with strong influence on the post-war situation.

By strength, India, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Argentina, Malaysia, Thailand, Iraq and Syria can all be regarded as allies with certain influence, and these countries' attitude towards war has influenced the strategic decisions of the intensive group.

There is no doubt that definitely not all allies accept the negotiation method.

Take Iran, Iraq and Syria as an example. Because these three countries are directly and indirectly invaded by the United States, they are very consistent on whether to negotiate with the United States, that is, to firmly oppose the negotiations. If the war is to end early, the United States can only surrender unconditionally, otherwise the war should be carried out to the end and ended in a way that completely destroys the United States. In fact, these three countries are not completely consistent on fundamental issues. Iran wants to use this to expand its voice and bargain with the Republic on the future development of the Gulf region. Iraq and Syria hope to gain support from the Republic and become leaders of the Arab world, rather than obey Egypt's command. Of course, whether to completely defeat the United States or completely destroy the United States is not a problem that the leaders of these three countries can care about.

On the contrary, Argentina, Malaysia, Thailand, and India all believe that there is no need to carry out the war to the end. If the casualties of the war can be reduced, thousands of soldiers can go home to go home and work with their relatives and members, even if they lose some benefits, they should end in negotiations. Of course, the fundamental purpose of these countries is to end the war as soon as possible, so that their countries can restore normal order to reduce the losses caused by the war.

There is no doubt that this war has been fought long enough.

After soliciting opinions from major allies, the Republican authorities have realized that anti-war sentiment has risen and how to quickly end the war is the key issue.

Affected by this, after the third negotiation request was issued through Switzerland, the Republic's authorities formally admitted to having secret contacts with the United States and initiated a call within the intensive group to establish a negotiation committee to specifically be responsible for the armistice negotiations with the United States.

Obviously, this is not what the United States wants.

Getting other countries to join negotiations will only increase the difficulty of negotiations.

In fact, the Republic may not be able to gain greater benefits from it, because Europe can completely insert a hand at this time and demand that the attackers behave as their allies. Strategic strikes are undoubtedly the best way to reduce casualties. "One
