Take Taobao to fight against Japan

A few hours later, Liu Qiang and Qiao Qingshan arrived at the White House in Washington, accompanied by Xia Chen.

Then, under the introduction of the subsequent staff, they met the legendary President of the United States in the Oval Office.

Chapter 1460 Know Yourself and Your Enemy

After some introductions, Mr. President said with a breezy smile:

"General Liu, General Qiao, on behalf of the American people, I welcome you. The people who love peace and justice will always remember the great contribution your Chinese army has made to the World Anti-Fascist Alliance!"

Liu Qiang hurriedly said modestly in pure American English: "Thank you, Mr. President, for your praise. The United States is a great country, and Mr. President, you are a great president.

You once led the American people out of the most difficult and difficult years, and now you lead the American people to take on the great cause of justice of leading the opposition to war and the fascist alliance!

We have always had deep admiration for you and the American people, and it is a great honor for me to be interviewed by Mr. President this time!

Similarly, our China is also a great peace-loving country. Our people have always been fighting on the front line of anti-war and anti-fascism, and have made great sacrifices and great contributions to this end.

But I believe that justice will triumph over evil, and our great allies will surely win the final victory! "

Liu Qiang learned English two or three years ago under the arrangement of Yang Fan, especially during the one or two years when he went to Myanmar and North Africa, his English level improved by leaps and bounds, and he was able to speak fluent English long ago.

At the end, Liu Qiang said very seriously: "Our president has a very high evaluation and praise for Mr. President. He has always told us that you are the greatest president in American history, and there is no one.

When you came, the President not only asked us to pay you the highest respect, but also specially asked me to bring you a small gift, and please accept it, Mr. President! "

After finishing speaking, Liu Qiang opened the suitcase he carried with him, took out a bottle of medicine from it and explained: "Our President knows that Mr. President is not in good health, so we specially invited a famous doctor to refine a bottle of medicine for regulating the body. The President's condition will help a lot!"

"Oh, is this a magical Chinese medicine elixir? Thank you General Yang!"

Seeing that Yang Fan described himself as the greatest president in American history, Mr. President couldn't help but raised his eyebrows extremely happily.

Immediately, Mr. President nodded to the assistant standing aside, and asked him to accept the elixir sent by Liu Qiang.

Of course, this was just a polite acceptance, and Mr. President didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Because he had severe polio, or polio, his leg muscles had atrophied, causing him to be unable to stand and had to use crutches and a wheelchair to move around.

From the perspective of Western medicine, if you have sequelae of polio, surgery cannot completely solve all the problems, because the disease itself is caused by nerve damage, so sequelae cannot be completely cured.

After a pause, Mr. President said following the words just now: "General Yang is also an excellent military commander with great strategic vision and military command ability, and I have full respect for him too!

He not only achieved a series of brilliant victories in China, in the Burmese theater, and in the African battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of the Allied forces and made great contributions to world peace and justice. "

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Mr. President praised him for a while and then said, "This time General Yang Fan took the initiative to let the Huaxia Navy come to the United States to cooperate in combat. He must have very brilliant insights and tactics, right?"

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your praise!"

Liu Qiang was not polite, and immediately nodded with a smile, "As Mr. President said just now, the chief executive did explain to me some strategies and tactics about the Pacific battlefield before coming here.

Mr. President, if I have time now, I would like to have some discussions and exchanges with the President! "

"is it?"

Mr. President was a little surprised. He just asked the question very politely. He really didn't think that Yang Fan could have any more clever strategies and tactics, and he could play a flower in the Pacific Ocean.

Because, since Japan blatantly attacked Pearl Harbor and wiped out the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the top U.S. generals and staff have no idea how much time they have studied and how many counterattack plans they have made.

Even Mr. President has personally participated in the discussions on this side many times. He has long been familiar with various situations and has become a half-military expert.

After all, the intelligence work and command system of the U.S. military are not bad. The Americans know the specific strength of the Japanese fleet and the deployment of troops in the occupied Pacific Islands.

Therefore, in the case of Mingqi, there is not much controversy about what tactics should be used and what tactics can be used.

But having said that, but thinking that Yang Fan is indeed superior, Mr. President did not refuse, but smiled and nodded with the idea of ​​giving it a try: "Then, General Liu, please express your high opinion. Appreciate further details."

"It's not a great opinion, it's just some superficial opinions."

Liu Qiang smiled very modestly, and then started out with a set of speeches he had prepared, "There is a saying in our Chinese Art of War that 'know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger'.

I have here a detailed information on the Japanese fleet and the distribution of troops in the Pacific islands, and I would like to ask Mr. President to look at it. ..."

In order to make his own navy suffer less, Yang Fan really worked hard. After reading a lot of historical data and synthesizing the relevant information spied on by the intelligence system of the Huben Army, he came up with a set of inseparable Japanese troops. A map of the deployment of troops on each island.

在1939年时，日本海军拥有航空母舰6艘、战列舰10艘、巡洋舰37艘、驱逐舰122艘、潜艇62艘。

From the beginning of the construction of the first aircraft carrier to the end of the war in 1945, Japan built a total of 25 aircraft carriers, and another 4 ships were not completed. In the 1913 years from 1942 to 29, the Japanese Navy built a total of 12 ships. Battleships, only 1939 were actually built after 2.

In addition, the Japanese Navy salvaged and repaired the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, battleship USS California, battleship USS Pennsylvania, battleship USS Tennessee, and several other large and small warships salvaged from Pearl Harbor.

如果再加上蝴蝶效应生产出来的军舰，如今日本具备了日本海军拥有航空母舰16艘、战列舰13艘、巡洋舰38艘、驱逐舰122艘、潜艇62艘。

"Ah? Where did all this information come from? It's actually much more detailed than the information we've been investigating for a long time?"

I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. Mr. President didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the more I looked down, the more surprised I was.

The specific number of Japanese naval fleets is not difficult to find, but the strength of Japanese troops on each island is hard to come by.

What's more, it also specifically mentioned the detailed technical parameters of two new combat aircraft that the Japanese army had just entered service for a long time, which is even more incredible.

Chapter 1461

Liu Qiang grinned and said: "We also took a lot of effort to get this information, there may be some discrepancies, but it shouldn't be too big!

Mr. President, although the Japanese fleet is very powerful, compared with the current US fleet, their total tonnage is far behind. The victory in the Pacific battlefield is destined to belong to us! "

"Having said that, it's actually not that simple. The US Navy is still too young!"

Despite having this precious information, Mr. President still couldn't help shaking his head.

Before the United States participated in World War II, it had always pursued a "neutral" policy, and the development of weapons and equipment was not very urgent.

日本偷袭珍珠港以前，美国海军共计拥有8艘航母，17艘战列舰、18艘重巡洋舰、19艘轻巡洋舰、165艘驱逐舰、106艘潜艇，。

Therefore, although the Japanese army successfully attacked, causing the U.S. Navy to sink 3 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, 12 cruisers, 32 destroyers and 12 submarines, the Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, but there is still a long way to go before destroying the entire main force of the U.S. Navy. big distance.

In addition, the United States has made great efforts to build ships frantically in the past two years. At present, the overall warship tonnage of the US Pacific Fleet and Atlantic Fleet has far exceeded that of the Japanese Navy. Among them, there are more than 50 aircraft carriers alone.

What I want to say is that although the total tonnage of the US Navy has increased, its actual combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the Japanese Navy.

After all, the navy is a technical activity. This is not a game. As long as the warship is built, it can be used directly. It takes a considerable amount of time to accumulate to exert its full combat effectiveness.

This is also true. So far, the U.S. military has avoided confrontation with the Japanese navy, because they know that the level of the U.S. navy is definitely not as good as that of the Japanese navy.

Otherwise, they should have launched a massive counterattack long ago, spilling out all the bird anger they have received, and beating the Japanese navy like shit.

In the brutal Second World War, unlike during the First World War, naval battles accounted for a large share, and there were long battles on the magnificent ocean, both on the surface and underwater.

In the early days of the war, the Japanese Navy led the use of aircraft carriers to "make waves" in the Pacific Ocean, so many people believed that Japan should be the number one navy in the world at that time.

In fact, it is not, even in the current time and space.

As Japan's teacher, the UK has always been a "blue water navy"

The blue water navy, also known as the blue navy, refers to a naval form that can extend its sea power to the ocean and deep sea areas and has expeditionary combat capabilities. It can perform missions overseas for a long time and protect its own country and overseas territories in the vast ocean. benefits and security capabilities.

同样在1939年时，英国皇家海军拥有7艘航母、15艘战列舰及战列巡洋舰、66艘巡洋舰、184艘驱逐舰、45艘护航和巡逻舰船及60艘潜艇。

In addition, there are nearly 1400 other main battleships under construction, with a total of more than [-] ships, and British warships are generally larger in tonnage.

What's more terrible is that the Royal Navy is far stronger than the Japanese Navy in terms of technology, and it is a circle larger than the Japanese Navy as a whole.

Another crucial point is that the logistics capacity of the modern navy is very important. Before World War II, the total tonnage of merchant ships owned by the United Kingdom reached 2100 million tons, accounting for one-third of the world.

And Japan is just over one-third of that of the United Kingdom, with only 650 million tons.

Also as an island country, Japan not only lags far behind the established powers in terms of the overall potential of naval development, but also does not do so well in the more important protection of its own sea lines of communication.

However, the United States and Britain are currently focusing on the African battlefield and supporting the Soviet Union. Even after the African battlefield is resolved, they will only focus on the European battlefield.

In less than a year or two, the main force of the British and American navies will not have the energy to turn around to clean up the Japanese navy and launch a full-scale attack on Japan.

"Mr. President, I understand your concerns very well. Just like our China Navy, it is in its infancy. If we only unilaterally engage in a naval battle with the Japanese Navy fleet, we really don't have much chance of winning."

Liu Qiang nodded with a smile, and then started throwing big moves again, directly took out a stack of technical materials and said, "This is the production material of two new fighter jets newly developed by our Huben Army, as long as they can be mass-produced in a short period of time field and we'll have crushing air superiority in the short term."

"And the current naval warfare mode no longer needs to compete with large-tonnage main battleships like World War I.

We can completely overtake other vehicles in curves. We only need to do our best to develop the aircraft carrier battle group and use it as the core force to develop carrier-based aircraft, so that we can defeat the Japanese navy fleet at the fastest speed! "

"As long as the Japanese naval fleet is crippled and defeated by us, the series of islands occupied by the Japanese army in the Pacific Ocean will become isolated islands, and we can adopt island-hopping tactics to advance the front to Australia or even the mainland of Japan in a short period of time. .”

After speaking, Liu Qiang handed over the complete set of production technical materials of the P-47N Thunderbolt fighter jet and the P-61C Black Widow night fighter jet to Mr. President with a very confused expression.

Anyway, these two fighter jets are the models that the United States is fully developing, and they already have the first generation, so there is no need for Yang Fan to hide them and send out the ultimate versions of them all in one go.

And they used the English version very understandingly, so they didn't need to find another translator at all.

In this way, two or three years can be shortened, allowing these awesome combat aircraft to appear in the Allied camp in large numbers.

As for the island-hopping tactic, it was also invented by MacArthur, Halsey, and Qi Browning. Yang Fan just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and used them in advance.

The island hopping tactic, also known as the leapfrog tactic, was a tactic implemented by the U.S. military when it recovered many Pacific islands occupied by the Japanese army in Southeast Asia at the end of World War II.

The so-called island hopping tactics do not adopt the tactics of recovering the islands one by one, but after recovering one island, skip the next island and capture the next island.

Especially by jumping over islands with relatively strong defense and resistance, the islands occupied by the Japanese army are isolated by means of sea and air blockade through island jumping, forcing them to surrender in the end (or those who would rather die than obey can only starve to death) ), so that the progress and effectiveness of recovery can be greatly improved.

Of course, there is a prerequisite here, which is to overthrow the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy first, otherwise everything is nonsense.

"Okay! How is this possible?"

After reading it for a while, Mr. President couldn't help exclaiming, and his hands began to tremble, as if this production technical document with a thickness of several hundred pages weighed dozens of catties!

Chapter 1462 The Unstoppable Temptation

After being stunned for a while, Mr. President stroked his forehead and said, "General Liu, these materials are so precious and important, I still need to discuss it separately before deciding what to do next.

So, please wait patiently for the news! "

Liu Qiang nodded with a smile and said, "The so-called decision before action is naturally no problem at all, Mr. President!"

"That's good! Today's conversation with General Liu is very pleasant, and I have benefited a lot. I will invite General Liu and General Qiao to a banquet another day!"

Mr. President's mind is full of things at this time, and he really doesn't have the time to chat with Liu Qiang and the two of them.

"Okay! Mr. President, then we will take our leave first!"

Liu Qiang stood up tactfully to say goodbye, and then walked out of the White House led by the president's aides.

"Judith, come on over to my office."

As soon as Liu Qiang and others left, Mr. President couldn't wait to call Miss Secretary, and asked her to call a group of senior officials and staff to the White House for a meeting to discuss.

"Okay, Mr. President, I'll do it right away!"

Judith, the secretary, hurried out of the office twisting her waist.

"This Chinese commander really has methods and abilities that are different from ordinary people. Perhaps with these things, the Pacific battlefield will not be as difficult as imagined.

By the way, is it true that the bottle of traditional Chinese medicine he gave has something extraordinary? "

Mr. President took a deep breath, gradually came to his senses, and subconsciously looked at the ceramic medicine bottle on the table.

Thoughts command actions, Mr. President reached out to pick up the medicine bottle very curiously, and after watching for a while, he pulled out the cork forcefully.

"Hey, this medicine is really a bit unusual."

Immediately, a refreshing medicinal fragrance came to the nostrils, and Mr. President immediately felt refreshed and comfortable.

"Then try to eat one? Maybe the miraculous Chinese medicine can really cure my illness?"

Only when a person loses his health can he deeply understand what it is like to be tortured by disease and pain all day long, and can he understand how important health is to people!

The same is true for Mr. President. Although he knows that his illness cannot be cured, deep down he is full of longing and obsession for recovery. How I hope that one day he can miraculously recover and can walk and run freely again .

It was precisely because of this strong obsession that Mr. President suddenly had a strong desire to survive, and made a decision as if under a spell. He poured out a brown pill from the medicine bottle, and then stuffed it into the mouth.

"Oh, Mr. President, don't!"

At this moment, Hopkins, the presidential aide, walked into the office and was shocked to see that Mr. President was swallowing the pill.

Panicked, Hopkins hurried over and said in a hurry, "Mr. President, please don't take this unknown pill. Even if it is really a traditional Chinese medicine, it must at least go through a laboratory test!"

However, it seemed a bit late, the pill stuffed into his mouth melted in his mouth, turning into a sweet liquid, which he swallowed smoothly.

"It's okay, I feel good! I believe they have enough good intentions!"

Mr. President also regretted it at this time. It is indeed very risky to directly take unfamiliar medicines like this, but at this time, the done thing is done, and it is too late to regret.

Hopkins said anxiously: "That's not okay, you are the president of the United States, your safety is in danger..."

"Well, it's not as serious as you think, I feel really good!"
