Volume 8 Hundred Years of Resentment Chapter 114 Ceasefire Negotiations

On the morning of the 6th of the month, Yan Shanglong arrived in Paris and officially announced to the outside world that the Republic of China had mediated and agreed to hold arbitrage negotiations with Japan.

As soon as the news came out, global public opinion was in an uproar.

Is the war over now?

If the war ends here, the Republic will once again create a "miracle" on the battlefield that other countries cannot reach.

The war broke out on October 23. In less than half a month, the Republican team defeated Japan, which was considered a regional power with thunder, and won a military victory.

It seemed that he was ready, and the Island TV station focused on the detailed process of the "Sino-Japanese War" on the same day.

After the war started, the Republican team destroyed Japan's strategic strike capabilities in just an hour. Not only did they sink three strategic nuclear submarines of the Japanese Navy, but they also blew up Japan's missile base and nuclear weapons base, and gained strategic initiative. In just 160 hours, the Republic's Air Force defeated the Japanese Air Force, which claimed to be the third in the world, seized the battlefield air supremacy, and began to carry out a full-scale bombing of Japan. The ground battle for the Ryukyu Islands fought for less than a week, and several Japanese army divisions with a force of more than 10,000 were completely annihilated. For this reason, the Republic only dispatched airborne brigades, three fast-resistance brigades and six land combat brigades, and the troops invested less than half of the Japanese army!

Some other Taiwan also "turned over old accounts" and took out the Sino-Japanese war process speculated by countries before the war.

There is no need to guess, just compare it with the "US-Iran War" and "Island War" to see the combat effectiveness of the Republican team and the "characteristics" of the "Sino-Japanese War".

It is the first formal war between two countries in the 211th century, and the characteristics of the "Sino-Japanese War" are very prominent.

The application of strategic weapons in place with nuclear weapons has become the first "highlight" in the "Sino-Japanese War". Although nuclear weapons did not play their due role in the war, as a result of the Second World War, nuclear weapons were used in actual combat wars for the first time. All Japan's strategic counterattacks ended in failure and the end of the "nuclear weapons era".

Does nuclear weapons have strategic deterrence capabilities?

Not only the news media are paying attention to this topic. Both nuclear countries and countries where they are preparing to develop nuclear weapons are considering this issue.

Nuclear weapons have always been the basic symbol of national strength and are the cornerstone of national security guarantees. As the strategic defense systems represented by the Republic's "National Strategic Defense System" and the United States' "National Missile Defense System" gradually gain practical combat capabilities, they have been tested in war. The actual combat effectiveness of nuclear weapons has been severely harsh. The comprehensive bombing of Japan under the ground is enough to prove that when facing opponents with "Strategic Defense System", nuclear weapons are not only not "amulets" but also direct factors that lead to national destruction.

Are nuclear weapons useful?

Although as early as after the first atomic bomb exploded, some people with insight called for the complete destruction of nuclear weapons. At the end of the 2nd century and the early 211th century, a "nuclear-free world" storm occurred, which was influenced by national interests. Nuclear countries were unwilling to give up nuclear weapons. Nuclear-free countries wanted to join the "nuclear club". The "Sino-Japanese War" greatly made more people realize the "hazards" of nuclear weapons. Even if China did not conduct a strategic counterattack in the situation of strategic attacks, China carried out a comprehensive bombing of Japan, resulting in an irreparable huge disaster.

It can be said that this war has opened the curtain of "full destruction of nuclear weapons".

The second feature of the "Sino-Japanese War" is the maturity and application of information network warfare.

Although the Republic did not announce the specific details of the cyber war against Japan, some well-informed news media still received relevant news from various channels. They believed that the Republic had hit Japan's information network when the war broke out, paralyzed Japan's communication capabilities, and seized the initiative of the war and destroyed Japan's main counterattack forces before Japan launched a comprehensive strategic counterattack, ensuring the national security of the Republic.

"Information Network Warfare" is not a new thing. As early as the early 211th century, with the full popularity of networking, "Information Network Security" became the top priority for many countries. Major countries such as the United States, the Republic, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom successively established information network warfare troops to specifically deal with threats on the Internet. However, the "Sino-Japanese War" was the first large-scale war to apply information network warfare and paralyze enemy countries through information network warfare.

How to ensure the security of information networks and ensure the security of national infrastructure connected to information networks has become a key military topic studied by major countries after the war.

"Space War" is the third feature of the "Sino-Japanese War". (Computer Novel Station ww~w.~m)

As early as the 1980s, in order to drag down Cold War rivals, the country proposed the "Star Wars" plan, including anti-satellite and anti-missile weapon systems based on outer space. Although it was proved that the United States did not really implement the "Star Wars" plan, and only used it to destroy the former Soviet Union, with the advancement of technology, especially the increasing degree of "militarization of space", how to deal with space military targets and how to protect space military targets has long entered the research field of major military powers. At the beginning of the 21st century, the United States conducted "anti-satellite tests" within the framework of the "maritime ballistic missile defense system", proving that anti-satellite weapons

Effectiveness. In order to avoid causing greater disasters, the United States and Russia "prohibit the militarization of space" treaty, hoping to bind major military powers with this. Subsequently, major countries such as the United States, the Republic, and Russia have also successively proposed the proposal of "prohibit the arms race in space", hoping to ensure the space environment and avoid causing an uncontrollable arms race.

The "Sino-Japan War" proves that the space military system of any country is extremely fragile.

Is it necessary to limit the space arms race?

After the war, the United States, the Republic, Russia, and the European Union were the first to negotiate on this issue, hoping to reach an international treaty that is legally binding on all countries. However, when strength is not equal and national interests are inconsistent, it is difficult to reach similar treaties internationally.

In addition to these three obvious characteristics, there are many things worthy of attention in the "Sino-Japanese War".

The comprehensive strategic bombing of the Republic's Air Force is worthy of attention. "Strategic bombing" is not a new thing. After Du Hei proposed the "air control theory", "strategic bombing" was valued by major air powers; in World War II, "strategic bombing" reached its peak; in several regional and local wars during the Cold War, "strategic bombing" was still the main means to defeat the enemy, but due to the influence of the international environment, great changes have been made, turning the target of attack into the enemy's military infrastructure, and trying to avoid causing serious civilian casualties.

During the "Sino-Japanese War", the strategic bombing of the Republic's Air Force against Japan was no longer limited to military goals.

According to the relevant data released by the Republic, except for residential and commercial areas, the infrastructure of all other countries is the target of strategic bombing. More importantly, technological progress has greatly improved the strike efficiency of strategic bombing, and the networked command system has changed the basic method of strategic bombing. In the past, strategic bombing often required bombers with very large range and bomb loads, and the main force of the Republic's Air Force was not bombers, but tactical fighter jets.

Overall, the "Sino-Japanese War" is a "no war".

For the active attacking side, the Republic has military strength far exceeds Japan. After taking the initiative, it defeated Japan's national defense power in just one day, causing Japan to lose its ability to continue fighting. Compared with any previous large-scale regional war, "information combat capability", "air force", "strategic strike capability", and "sea control capability" were more thoroughly reflected, and "ground combat capability" was more marginalized. Although the Republic performed well in the combat operations to capture the Ryukyu Islands, the key to winning the ground combat was air supremacy and sea control.

In Duqiwei's words, the "Sino-Japan War" completely demonstrated the importance of "system combat capability".

With the full popularity of technical weapons, the side with "system advantages" can easily defeat their opponents. Even if the side at a disadvantage has several advanced weapons, it is still unable to reverse the situation without forming "system combat capabilities" and can only be passively beaten.

This change can only lead to the result of "the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker the stronger the weaker the result".

Only a large country with strong national strength can establish a complete military system, and it is difficult for a weak country to gain an advantage in the face of a strong country.

This is the most significant impact of the "Sino-Japanese War" on the world situation.

When more and more weak countries appear to be vulnerable to powerful enemies, they can only be forced to choose to form alliances with a strong country and rely on powerful countries to help deal with powerful enemy countries. As more and more weak countries choose to form alliances with strong countries, the existing world pattern will inevitably be broken. Military and political alliances based on geopolitics have become the main factor affecting the world trend, and the influence of major powers on the world pattern has been significantly improved.

Without any doubt, the impact of international institutions such as the United Nations on the world situation will gradually fade.

Although the world will become closer under the driving force of trade, the world will inevitably be divided under the influence of the will of a great power.

As the "Sino-Japan War" moves towards the stage of armistice negotiations, its influence on the global situation has gradually been shown.

Yan Shanglong announced that he would accept Japan's request for a truce negotiation and agreed to contact Japan under the auspices of France. The war did not stop immediately. According to the statement of the Republic Government, because the truce negotiations involve many issues related to the fundamental interests of the country, the Republic needs sufficient preparation time.

On November 7, the Republic and Japan successively announced the list of main members of the negotiating delegation.

The next day, the negotiating delegations of both sides arrived in Paris, France one after another, and conducted their first informal contact under the auspices of the French government. Japan first proposed "arrest first and then negotiation", while the Republic insisted on "arrest at the same time".

On November 9, under the stern promulgation of the French government, the Republic accepted Japan's proposal and announced a temporary ceasefire for 24 hours.

At this time, the Republic had captured the entire Ryukyu Islands, and the "ceasefire" only stopped strategic bombing against Japan and did not stop strategic blockade against Japan.

Will the negotiations have a result?

All countries around the world will wait and see.
