Payment chapter (12 o'clock)

On December 12, Pang Yuelong and Zhou Yusheng submitted a draft action plan to attack the United States to Mu Haoyang.[..com]

At that time, Mu Haoyang was shocked.

You should know that the strategic bombing of the United States has not yet begun. The first base built by the Air Force on Maui will not be put into use until December 20. According to the arrangement of the mother Qi Tie, the Air Force will not bomb the US mainland for the first time until December 25.

It’s not that the mother Qi Tie doesn’t seek to make progress, but that the bomber is more special.

Strategic bombers are not electric transport aircraft or tactical fighters. They require a large amount of ground equipment and complete infrastructure. If strategic bombers are deployed at field airports, every two combat missions are performed, they need to return to the air base in the rear for one comprehensive maintenance. When deployed in air bases with fully equipped facilities, they can perform five consecutive combat missions before they need to be fully maintained. The main thing is that after strategic bombers perform tasks, they need to be properly maintained to maintain their state. Obviously, in field airports with simple equipment, bombers cannot be maintained at all, and it is impossible to ensure that the bombers are in the best condition.

Of course, strategic bombers are also extremely expensive, and one can match ten large electric transport aircraft.

Affected by this, the Air Force must first build a fully equipped base on the front line, then send the bombers over to conduct adaptive training for several days before they can perform combat missions.

You should know that the Chinese air force base closest to the Hawaiian Islands is 10,000 kilometers away. If the bomber returns for maintenance every two missions, the combat efficiency will definitely be scary. It is better to spend some time building an air force base on the front line to improve the combat efficiency of the bomber.

In fact, even if the strategic bombing begins, it cannot immediately attack the United States.

The United States has a similar land area as China. Even if Alaska is eliminated, it is not much smaller than China. The area of ​​the west coast of the United States is equivalent to the sum of France and Germany. Its west coastline is tens of thousands of kilometers long and there are dozens of big cities with a population of more than one million. Among them, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles are all super metropolises. In addition to nearby towns, the population of the three urban agglomerations is more than 20 million, and Los Angeles is as high as 35 million. Such dense cities and so many cities mean that the West Coast of the United States has a large number of troops, relatively complete military facilities, and sufficient ability to resist landing forces.

In terms of difficulty, landing on the West Coast of the United States must have surpassed the Normandy Landing Campaign during World War II.

In fact, comparisons are not possible at all.

The reason is very simple. The United States does not have the problem of fighting on two fronts on the local battlefield, so it does not have to concentrate its forces in the eastern region, and can completely concentrate its forces to guard the west coast. The German army at that time had to concentrate its main forces on the eastern front battlefield. Not only were there few troops left on the western front, but they were also of low quality.

It can be said that if China wants to land on the West Coast of the United States, the preparations it needs to make will definitely exceed the Allied forces during World War II.

The problem is that the Chinese army had not prepared for this at that time.

You should know that according to Mu Haoyang's plan, after strategic bombing achieves certain results, landing in the West Coast of the United States will only be considered.

Judging from the time point of view, this must be the second quarter of 2056.

Pang Yuelong and Zhou Yusheng proposed to land on the west coast of the United States at this time, and believed that it would be implemented at the end of the year by January 2056 at the latest, which is obviously too optimistic.

Obviously, Mu Haoyang would not approve such a crazy combat plan.

At that time, there was another thing that made Mu Haoyang temporarily give up his idea of ​​attacking the United States, and he also asked him to order his mother Qi Tie to set the first large-scale bombing of the United States on January 1, 2056. This matter was the final choice of the European Federation.

At the end of August 2055, the European Federation completed the necessary political process and announced its official establishment.

On September 1, the three states of the European Federation, as well as the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria, which have agreed to join the European Federation in principle and are actively preparing for a referendum, held a grand national day ceremony as quasi-states, and in Berlin, Paris and Rome, the flags of the European Federation were raised respectively: the blue bottom and the center is a white regular triangle. The blue bottom symbolizes Europe, and the predecessor of the European Federation, that is, the European Union's flag base color, the white regular triangle represents the three core states, France, Germany and Italy, and also symbolizes that the European Federation is as stable as a triangle, and is a complete and unbreakable country.

In the future, the flag of the European Federation will change, that is, add a white five-pointed star outside the white regular triangle, symbolizing the newly added state.

By December 20, 2055, in addition to France, Germany and Italy, six countries, namely the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic, have joined the European Federation. Among them, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria have completed the full name referendum, and Hungary and the Czech Republic will announce the referendum results on the 24th. That is to say, there are nine states in the European Federation.

According to the secret agreement between the European Federation and China, as long as there are ten states, the European Federation declares war on the United States.

At that time, the European Federation was negotiating with Slovakia to fight for the tenth state.

However, the negotiations did not go smoothly, mainly because of the issue of Slovakia's seats in the Federal Basic Parliament. The reason was that the demographic data submitted by Slovakia was seriously inequality, which caused serious dissatisfaction between the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic and other states and quasi-states.

In the political structure of the European Federation, the seat of the state in the basic parliament directly determines the status of the state.

What determines the seat is the population of the state.

At that time, Slovakia submitted data with 14 million people, while the Netherlands, Austria and the Czech Republic pointed out that the demographic data of Slovakia came from before 2035, that is, before global natural disasters, and global natural disasters caused a significant reduction in global population, with no exception. The results of Slovakia's census in 2050 were less than 10 million.

The gap of four million is equivalent to eight seats.

Obviously, this made the Netherlands, Austria and Czech Republic very dissatisfied with the three countries that honestly submitted demographic survey reports, believing that Slovakia wants to expand its influence in the European Federation.

At that time, the Czech Republic even threatened to withdraw from the European Federation.

You should know that the Czech Republic has not submitted a referendum yet, so it is only a quasi-state of the European Union and can withdraw at any time.

Now, the problem becomes complicated.

It will take at least one month to complete the census of Slovakia, and it will be impossible to officially join the European Federation before the end of the year. What's more serious is that Slovakia has passed the referendum. If the census is re-conducted, it will definitely make many Slovaks feel dissatisfied and feel that the European Federation does not trust them. The result is that the opposition parties in the Slovak Parliament are likely to request a new referendum. Not to mention the result of the referendum again (at that time, only 54% of Slovakia supported joining the European Federation, and 46% opposed it), the delay time is very fatal.

France, Germany and Italy are very clear that China will never give the European Federation more time.

You should know that the Chinese army has captured two large islands on the Hawaiian Islands, and will next carry out strategic bombing on the United States. Military speaking, the strategic bombing will last for several months, and then ground attacks. During this period, China will definitely solve the European problem. To put it bluntly, if the European Federation cannot obtain the tenth state by the end of the year, China will launch a European war.

According to the information disclosed after the war, China was indeed ready for the European war at that time.

On the mainland battlefield, the Chinese Army still maintained forty armies, and the retreat of 200 kilometers would not affect the Chinese army's attack at all.

On December 27, the Middle East War came to an end as the Middle East Legion captured Tel Aviv.

Three days later, Türkiye began negotiations with China and put forward conditions for joining the war, and China was more inclined to accept Türkiye as an ally.

In addition, the US Navy was wiped out and the Chinese naval fleet was able to make an expedition to the Atlantic Ocean.

Don’t forget that by December, the Chinese Navy had already owned 27 super aircraft carriers and formed 27 aircraft carrier battle groups composed of eleven large warships. The European Federation had only six aircraft carrier battle groups in total, and they all had large aircraft carriers built before the war.

If you really want to fight, the European Federal Navy will be wiped out in a battle.

These things without exception show that China is stepping up its combat deployment against Europe and has sufficient ability to launch an offensive on January 1, 2056.

For the European Federation, there is zero chance of winning this war.

If you cannot fight with China, you can only try to solve internal problems and obtain the tenth state as soon as possible.

At that time, the European Federation adopted two lines in parallel to resolve the situation.

The first route is to actively strive for another state, and the one who is most likely to join the European Union by the end of the year is Liechtenstein between Switzerland and Austria. This small mountain country has only tens of thousands of people, and is mainly Austrians. It has long tended to join the European Union. The referendum can be completed within three days. Although Liechtenstein is an inconspicuous small country, as a country, as long as it joins the European Union, it will gather ten states. In fact, Luxembourg is a small country similar to Liechtenstein.

The second route is to put pressure on Slovakia. On December 20, the European Federal Defense Force had deployed a huge force of fifteen divisions in the northeast of Slovakia, and began to plan combat operations to march into Bratislafa, which is expected to occupy the Slovak capital in one day. In other words, if there is no other choice, the European Federal Defense Force would capture Bratislafa and then announce the takeover of Slovakia, making it a state of the European Federation. At that time, the European Federal Government had prepared a bill, which was the main content of the European continent to unify the European continent through military operations and prepare to hand it over to the Federal Parliament for approval when necessary.

At such a critical moment, Mu Haoyang must have to stare at the European Federation.
