Chapter 251 No compromise

After the war, China rejected the United States' request for a ceasefire at the end of June 2056, which became a topic of debate among many people.

Judging from the situation at that time, as long as China makes a little concession in dealing with war criminals and maintains other principles, the war is likely to end this month, at least the two sides will achieve a ceasefire, and the destruction caused by this war can be greatly reduced.

So, why should China insist on the issue of war criminals?

From a time perspective, there is a very important reason why Lucas issued a ceasefire request to China on June 20, that is, the ninth summit of the Oriental Alliance Group will be held on June 24. From the perspective of the development of the war, especially the impact of the use of genetic weapons by the US military in May, Huang Hanlin is likely to propose at this summit that the United States must surrender unconditionally.

In fact, at the eighth summit, Huang Hanlin had already proposed it, but was opposed by Pino, so he did not become a joint declaration of the Oriental Alliance Group.

Can Pino still object?

The answer is no, because the United States first destroyed the most basic rules of engagement and used devastating weapons of mass destruction in the war. Although the Chinese team carried out devastating revenge, resulting in the death of tens of millions of civilians, the Chinese team did not use weapons of mass destruction and did not destroy the rules of engagement at the legal level, so it could not be a reason for Pino to oppose the unconditional surrender of the United States.

If Pino cannot object again, then unconditional surrender of the United States will become a common declaration of the Eastern Alliance group.

You should know that as long as the Oriental Alliance Group issues a joint declaration, the United States will lose the opportunity to end the war through negotiations. There are only two results: one is to fight to the last moment and be completely defeated by China, and the other is to surrender unconditionally, allowing the Oriental Alliance Group headed by China to slaughter.

There is no doubt that both results are extremely miserable.

In this way, Lucas could only fight for a truce and then end the war in negotiations.

Objectively speaking, the conditions offered by Lucas were not low at that time.

For example, the United States will disarm the army in advance and disband the army on the spot. The soldiers will be demobilized, and only one unit of 100,000 people will be retained for maintaining domestic order. All large warships will be handed over, only small and medium-sized warships with a total tonnage of no more than 100,000 tons will be kept, and all submarines will be demolished or sunk, and submarines will not be built within twenty years after the war. The Air Force will be disbanded, and only the air guards will be retained, and no more than 1,000 combat aircraft will be retained; war compensation will be paid to China and other belligerent countries; the Mariana Islands, Hawaiian Islands and Digo Garcia Island will be ceased to China (whether to ced Digo Garcia Island will be decided by the United Kingdom), and all submarines will be handed over in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Military base; recognize China's dominance in the Eurasian continent, recognize China's disposal of Russia after the war; dissolve the Jewish group, recognize Israel's demise, and set up a Jewish autonomous region in the country, accepting six million Israeli citizens; recognize China's hegemony in sub-Saharan Africa, withdraw troops from Nigeria, Cameroon and other countries, and no longer interfere in African affairs; recognize China's leadership in Latin America, and urge the UK to sign a territorial treaty with Argentina to abolish all blockade policies against Cuba; recognize China's dominance in Oceania, bear the reconstruction costs of Australia and other countries, etc.

It can be said that the United States handed over almost all the interests before the war.

It can even be said that in addition to retaining the local area, the United States has transferred all its overseas interests to China.

To put it more utilitarian, this is the biggest benefit China can gain in this war.

So, why did Huang Hanlin make a fuss about the issue of war criminals?

Obviously, Huang Hanlin did not hope to make more profits through this, because there was no more profits anymore.

In this way, Huang Hanlin must have more long-term considerations when making a fuss about war criminals.

The most important thing is to prevent the United States from rising again and becoming a superpower that poses a substantial threat to China and can confront China.

As mentioned earlier, in order to achieve this goal, a "Carthaginian peace" cannot be used to end the war.

You should know that doing so will only pass on the burden to the American people, making the American people believe that the United States does not lose and the United States has hope of winning. Moreover, the heavy post-war burden will inevitably make the American people hate China more, and hatred will inevitably be the root cause of the next world war.

The key is, how can we make the United States no longer threaten without increasing the burden on the American people and arousing hatred by the American people?

The solution is very simple, which is to punish war criminals.

From a legal perspective, punishing war criminals is to punish those who plan wars and commit crimes in wars, which is a retaliatory measure.

But on another level, punishing war criminals actually admits that the American people are not guilty.

In other words, this war is not a war triggered by the American people, and it does not require the American people to bear the responsibility, so there is no reason to let the American people suffer after the suffering after the war.

More importantly, this can convince the American people that the ambitious people who plan the war are the biggest enemy.

If other means are supplemented, such as helping the United States to carry out post-war reconstruction and providing humanitarian assistance to the American people, it will make the American people believe that China's purpose is not to occupy the United States, nor to embezzle the United States, nor to destroy the United States, but to rescue them from the clutches of war ambitions, so that the American people can be spared from the poison of war, or to let the American people get rid of the abyss of war as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that this is definitely positive, positive effect.

In this way, Huang Hanlin will definitely not let the war criminal go.

Of course, if you accept the conditions for truce issued by the United States at this time, there is still a legal problem, that is, the one who was defeated was not the United States, but the political leaders of the United States. To put it bluntly, signing an armistice treaty with the United States is to recognize that the American political defeat was defeated.

So, was the United States defeated?

Obviously, this is not an easy question to answer, but also a question that is easy to misunderstand, and the misunderstandings arise must be negative.

If the United States is not defeated, it means that the United States has the possibility of winning and has the ability to win in the next battle.

The next thing is that since the United States has not been defeated, the suffering the United States endured for a truce is imposed on the United States by China and other victorious countries.

There is no doubt that Huang Hanlin certainly does not want such an ending.

You should know that as long as the American people do not fundamentally realize that the United States is defeated, then after paying the heavy price of millions of casualties, China will only achieve an incomplete victory, and while winning, it will lay the root of the disaster for the next war.

It can be seen from this that Huang Hanlin will definitely not accept the United States' request for a ceasefire.

In fact, even if Lucas intends to sacrifice himself and make concessions on the issue of war criminals, Huang Hanlin will refuse in other ways.

After all, what Huang Hanlin pursues is to make the United States surrender unconditionally.

It can be said that Huang Hanlin has a very clear understanding and knows how to end this war is most beneficial to China. Even if this method requires that the war continue to burn, it will cost a greater price and sacrifice more officers and soldiers. For a longer-term and stable peace, it is worth it.

There is no possibility of a truce, so I can only continue to fight.

Before going to Yokohama to attend the 9th Oriental League Group Summit, Huang Hanlin issued an instruction, that is, do not allow ground troops to cross the Rocky Mountains for the time being.

Obviously, this is a political order.

Judging from the situation at that time, Huang Hanlin restricted the combat scope of the ground troops mainly to give Pino a reasonable explanation at the group summit, that is, China did not intend to conquer the entire United States. In this way, it could bring up a more important topic, that is, China's purpose was to make the United States surrender unconditionally.

Ground troops cannot cross the Rocky Mountains, but strategic bombing will not stop.

Huang Hanlin's failure to restrict strategic bombing was equivalent to encouraging the army to carry out strategic bombing. You should know that this was also the main means to attack the United States at that time.

The result was that Mu Haoyang asked his mother Qi Tie to expand the bombing range.

By the end of June, the Chinese Air Force had deployed bombers to the west coast of the United States. Not only did it use the US air force bases, but it also built a large number of field airports, and most of them were built near ports in order to successfully obtain ammunition and other materials and improve bombing efficiency.

On June 22 and 23, the bombing range expanded to the entire central area west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Thanks to the increase in the number of front-line airports, the Air Force invested more than 8,000 bombers, and for the first time, it used electric bombers converted from large electric transport aircraft. However, it was not called this name at that time, but was called "large electric ammunition carrying and throwing platform."

No matter who chooses the name, it accurately expresses the nature and purpose of this aircraft.

To put it bluntly, large electric ammunition carrying and throwing platforms are not combat aircraft at all, because such aircraft that are so slow that they can be knocked down by anti-aircraft guns are not suitable for performing combat missions on the battlefield. They can only perform some bombing tasks that have no technical content at all at some places where the enemy's air defense systems have been completely destroyed, such as throwing hundreds of tons of bombs into cities and industrial areas at one breath at a height of 10,000 meters.

To really strike targets protected by air defense systems, or to go to battlefields where enemy aircraft are active, bombers must be used.

Of course, large electric ammunition delivery and throwing platforms are definitely a very terrifying bombing platform. The bomb dropped at one time is equivalent to the full load of bombs of ten bombers. Later, the Chinese Air Force experimented with an extreme tactic, that is, after the large electric ammunition delivery and throwing platforms are loaded with ammunition in China, fly with charging aircraft, cross the Pacific Ocean, and after dropping bombs over the United States, then directly return to the airport closest to the arsenal, after replenishing the ammunition, set off again to carry out the trans-ocean bombing mission.

As a result, in the past two days, the United States has suffered several largest strategic bombings after the war began.
