Mr. President waved his hand, then pointed to the documents on the table and said, "Please make a few copies first, we will have a meeting to discuss later."

Soon, Secretary of State Hull, White House Chief of Staff Leahy, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Marshall, Army Chief of Staff Stark, Army Deputy Chief of Staff and Army Aviation Commander Arnold, Secretary of the Navy Knox and others came one after another.

When everyone arrived, Marshall asked anxiously, "Mr. President, what happened to make you so anxious?"

The others all looked at Mr. President in unison. It must not be a small matter to summon so many people in an emergency, but they saw that the President looked normal, and it didn't look like there was any terrible news.

"Things did come a little suddenly, but please rest assured that it's not a bad thing. Specifically, you should take a look at the information on the table first."

Mr. President smiled, and then asked Hopkins to send the copied materials to everyone for reading.

"What? How did this happen? Mr. President, where did all these Japanese military intelligence come from?"

After watching for a while, Marshall couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could it be so careful, not only the deployment of troops on each island, but also the full set of performance parameters of their latest fighter jets? Where did these news come from?"

诺克斯则是大声叫道:“天啦,日本联合舰队竟然拥有航空母舰16艘、战列舰13艘、巡洋舰38艘、驱逐舰122艘、潜艇62艘,这比我们情报资料中要强大了不少啊!”

""

"Hey, isn't this an improved model of the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter? Wow, when did such a huge breakthrough happen all of a sudden?"

"Ah, haven't we just completed the prototype test flight of the P-61 night fighter? How come there is such an advanced and powerful P-61 improved night fighter all of a sudden? Why haven't I heard any news?"

"Are these real? Can we produce them? Isn't it too advanced!"

A layman watches the excitement, while an expert watches the doorway. As the commander of the Air Force, Arnold is most concerned about the news about the Air Force.

It's just that the technical parameters of the ultimate improved models of these two fighter jets are too advanced and powerful, which made Arnold doubt life all at once.

Seeing everyone's startled look, Mr. President actually smiled at this moment. Why wasn't he like this before, and now it's finally their turn.

Well, everyone is drunk and I am sober, which is really interesting.

After a while, Mr. President began to drop the bombshell: "Okay, now I will tell you very seriously and responsibly that the information in your hands was provided to us by the Chinese people. To be precise, it is the The Huaxia Commander named Yang Fan gave it to us!"

"This is impossible! How could they have a more advanced P-47 Thunderbolt fighter than us? What is even more incredible is that they have a mature night fighter before us?

Mr. President, this is absolutely impossible! "

The first one to fry the pan was Air Force Commander Arnold, whose mouth was so wide open that he could easily stuff a big duck egg in!

Before, he thought that his own engineers suddenly came up with a conceptual technical indicator, and he was still thinking that these guys were so good that they would release such a satellite like this.

But at this moment, everything took a 180-degree turn, so that Arnold overturned directly.

Chapter 1463

"Yeah, Mr. President, are you really kidding us?"

"It's unbelievable!"

"Since when did Huaxia become so powerful?"

There are also Marshall, Stark and others who are also full of doubts. They all look at Mr. President with wide eyes, hoping that this is just a joke.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Mr. President nodded affirmatively in the face of everyone's doubts: "No, gentlemen, I am not joking with you, all this is true!"

"I buy it! How is this possible! Could it be that our military secrets were stolen by them?"

"But, this doesn't seem right. We just made a prototype of the P-61 night fighter, so it's not mature at all?"

"And their night fighter is much, much more advanced than our current prototype! Do they really have that capability?"

Hearing this, Arnold was going crazy, and a hundred thousand reasons kept popping up in his mind.

Even though he saw the incomparably detailed production process data with his own eyes at this moment, he still couldn't believe that the poor and backward Chinese country in his impression could actually mass-produce fighter jets that were much more advanced than their latest fighter jets.

Mr. President waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not discuss how they did it for now.

Our focus now is to discuss how the information they provide will help us, and whether we can use it to make corresponding strategic adjustments? "

Then, Mr. President repeated what Liu Qiang said about the full development of aircraft carrier battle groups and island hopping tactics.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Marshall said in a deep voice: "I have to admit that the island hopping strategy proposed by General Yang Fan is very feasible. If we make good use of it, it can indeed greatly improve efficiency."

Arnold nodded and said: "If these two fighter jets can be mass-produced as soon as possible, the American Air Force will soon gain absolute air supremacy!"

Knox said: "Naval warfare with battleships as the core has indeed fallen behind, and naval warfare with aircraft carriers as the core force will surely become the mainstream of the times.

And obviously, the American Air Force is already stronger than the Japanese Air Force. If we have a huge aircraft carrier battle group that crushes the advantage, the Japanese Navy will have no chance of winning. "

"So, it won't take long for the US Pacific Fleet to gain the initiative in the Pacific battlefield?"

Hearing this, Mr. President laughed happily.

Although the current focus of the United States is on the North African battlefield and the European battlefield, it is impossible to change this basic strategy in a short time.

Over the past year or so, the transition from civilian to military production in the United States has not been complete due to the severe damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Although troops can be mobilized quickly, they must go through a period of training before they can be put into battle.

Although the total tonnage of the U.S. Navy exceeds that of the Japanese Combined Fleet, its overall military strength has not surpassed that of the Japanese Navy, and it is always dragged by the United Kingdom to fight Germany. At the same time, it has to free up a lot of resources to help the Soviet Union.

It has been almost two years, and the US attack on the Pacific is still at a standstill. The main reason is that the European battlefield is too busy.

After all, Europe is significantly more important to the United States than the Pacific.

But if it is easier to start a two-front battle now, to recapture the Hawaiian Islands as soon as possible, and to regain the ground from the Japanese invaders as soon as possible, it will definitely be a happy thing.

Another thing to say is that in the Pacific War, it was impossible for the United States to directly attack the Japanese mainland, because the United States must first ensure that its country is not threatened by war.

However, if the United States wants to attack the mainland of Japan, it will not only have a long distance and difficult logistics, but it will also very likely lead the war to the mainland of the United States, posing a greater threat to the United States.

Therefore, the United States must consider destroying all the Japanese troops at its doorstep first, and finally attacking the Japanese mainland.

During the Pacific War of World War II, Japan posed a great threat to the United States.

In order to contain this ultimate powerful enemy, Japan dispatched almost the vast majority of its navy and air force to the war of aggression against the United States, which posed a great threat to the United States.

The United States is very clear that in order to eliminate Japan, it must first attack the troops that Japan has sent forward. Only in this way can it gradually eliminate most of Japan's armed forces, and Japan may be defeated.

In order to implement such a goal, the United States has long formulated the strategy and tactics of attacking Japan's invading islands island by island.

Because only such a blow can prompt Japan to retreat quickly, and can dispel all harassment when the United States attacks Japan in the future.

If the United States does not carry out strikes against these islands, even if the United States has the ability to hit the Japanese mainland, then the logistical issue is very dreadful for the United States.

These Japanese forces in the rear would seriously harass U.S. supply lines and would seriously disrupt the continuity of the U.S. strategic offensive.

The intelligence data and strategies and tactics provided by Yang Fan have largely resolved these contradictions, making it possible for the U.S. Navy to gain the initiative in the Pacific battlefield in a short period of time and at a relatively low cost.

In fact, the U.S. military once formulated another set of short-term and fast plans to attack the Japanese mainland.

That is to start from Alaska, pass through the Aleutian Islands, and then use the Soviet Kamchatka Peninsula as a springboard to directly attack the Japanese mainland.

It's just that the climate in the North Pacific is relatively harsh, which is not convenient for the supply and transportation of troops, nor is it convenient for the strategic air force to attack the Japanese mainland.

There are few islands in the North Pacific Ocean, and the distance between the islands is too far. It is difficult to organize an absolutely superior force for landing operations. Even if the landing is successful, it is difficult to quickly replenish follow-up troops and combat supplies.

At the same time, Alaska is a sparsely populated and bitterly cold place, which is not conducive to the supply work of the US military.

Moreover, Japan’s supply line went from Southeast Asia into the South Pacific to reach the mainland. The strategic consideration of the US military was to cut off the supply line of the Japanese army. The siege of Japan from the south was equivalent to wrapping Japan in dumplings to trap Japan to death.

When Japan's national power is exhausted, it will make a final fatal blow to Japan.If the US military attacks Japan from the North Pacific, it will not touch the main artery of the Japanese army, and Japan's national strength will not be affected much.

Japan is an island country, and almost all military resources come from sea transportation.

This is also the direct reason why Japan rushed to occupy Southeast Asia without completely occupying China at that time, because it urgently needed rubber, oil and steel there.

Therefore, in general, if the U.S. military wants to regain the situation in the Pacific battlefield, it can only continue to develop insignificantly for a period of time, and then use the absolute superiority of the air force to destroy the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and initially gain sea control.

Then, starting from the Hawaiian Islands in the South Pacific, island-hopping tactics were implemented, strangling Japan's economic lifeline step by step.

Just like playing Go, cut slowly with a blunt knife, slowly tighten the Qi of others, and finally kill with one blow.

Chapter 1464 Killer, People Always Kill

On the evening of August 8, an air force airport in Weihai, Shandong.

At this time, the sunset had already set and the night was gradually falling on the world. Five B-5 bomber pilots, Air Force mechanical engineers and ground crews were parked on the huge airport runway and were making final preparations.

Yang Fan had returned to Shandong by plane a week ago. After a few days of planning and preparation, everything was finally ready and only Dongfeng owed it.

"Boss, are we really going to bomb Devil Tokyo tonight?"

Looking at the five behemoths with a length of 30 meters, a wingspan of 43 meters and a height of 8.46 meters, Wang Liguo was extremely excited and slightly worried.

"At the beginning, you, the commander of the air force, jumped the highest and screamed the most joyously. Why did you get scared again at the last moment?"

Yang Fan smiled and looked at Wang Liguo with a complicated expression. On the surface, the situation was calm, but in fact, his heart was also beating drums.

Because the long-range air strike on Tokyo, the capital of Japan, not only has a lot of risk in itself, but also the effect will be very explosive, which will definitely lead to a series of uncertain consequences.

Wang Liguo replied with a smile: "Boss, I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm a little worried that once the devils are completely angered, we will definitely become the targets of the Japanese devils' full revenge."

Before Yang Fan could answer, Miao Dadong who was standing aside hurriedly said, "Commander Wang, the more you become an official, the more courageous you become.

Even if we don't bomb the devils Tokyo, can the devils live in peace with us?Hmph, even if the devil wants to do this, we still don't agree! "

Ren Yixiong nodded and agreed: "Yes! Our Huaxia has long been at odds with the devils. Apart from being immortal, there is no possibility of a truce and peace!"

"Old Miao, Lao Ren, what are you singing at this time? Is my Wang Liguo a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

After this wave of tempo, Wang Liguo became a little anxious immediately, frowned and said: "But what I want to say is that the total army strength of the little devils is at least more than 650 million, and there are nearly 300 million devil soldiers in China alone.

Once we attract all the anger of the devils, the little devils will definitely use the power of the whole country to attack us. "

"Let's not say that we are soldiers. It is our mission and responsibility to defend our home and country. We have already made psychological preparations for returning the shroud of horse leather. In the worst case, we will lose our head and have a big scar on the mouth of the bowl.

However, the fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond. Have you ever thought that there are still 2200 million folks and elders in our defense zone?

Have you ever thought that once we make any mistakes, not only our hard-working homeland will be destroyed, but the common people will also suffer heavy casualties. "

Wang Liguo's worries are by no means personal. They are very popular in the entire Huben Army and the people in the entire jurisdiction.

Just like "Since you are not a fairy, you will inevitably have distracting thoughts", human nature is selfish, and it is an instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck!

Although everyone was responsible for defending the land during the Anti-Japanese War, and the Huben army had already formed an insoluble blood feud with the devils, but after all, not many people wanted to stay at the forefront and be the first to die.

Intimidated by the mighty combat power of the Huben army, the devils are currently besieging the Huben army without attacking it, but have launched a large-scale frontal attack on the Kuomintang-controlled area. The Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi and the Battle of Western Hubei are being fought extremely fiercely.

The current national military budget is 500 million members, but the actual number of military rations is 720 million.

However, this is not to say that the national army actually has 720 million troops, but that the problem of "empty quota" in the national army is too serious.

Especially after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it became more and more fierce. Whether it is the central army or the local army, there is a common phenomenon of "empty quota"

In December 1941, the chairman said, "The emptiness of our troops in the front is a well-known shortcoming throughout the country. All levels are deceived, and even one division with a shortage of more than 12 people is also regarded as a So often."

A division has a vacancy of 3000 people, which is still relatively good, and some divisions even have only more than 2000 people.

On average, the number of soldiers that the national army can participate in battles is only half of the nominal establishment.

From this, according to the authorities' inference, if it is verified and reorganized, it will be very good to have 300 million combatable troops.

Even if the national army now has only two to three million regular troops, that is not enough.

Not only did it include 35 mechanized ace troops withdrawn from Myanmar, but also the Myanmar industrial zone exported a large number of technical equipment such as aircraft, tanks and cannons in the past two years.

The United States and the Huben Army also provided a large amount of air force to support the War of Resistance, which largely guaranteed the national military's air supremacy.

Generally speaking, the national army is really not weak now. Although it is much weaker than the overall strength of the Japanese army, it is many times stronger than the national army in the early days of the War of Resistance.

Therefore, many senior generals of the Huben Army believe that the Huben Army should not take everything on themselves, and just develop and grow themselves.

After a moment of silence, Miao Dadong said in a deep voice: "Old Wang, don't worry, I'll find out if I said anything to you, I'm just stating an objective fact!

We will eventually have a real life-and-death battle with the Japanese devils. Either the west wind will overwhelm the east wind, or the east wind will overwhelm the west wind. There is no room for change. "

"Well said! There is nothing in this world that is the best of both worlds. No matter what choice you make, there will always be gains and losses!"

Yang Fan didn't let them continue to argue, and decided decisively, "I know that doing this must be a hornet's nest, transferring all the anger of the Japanese devils to us in advance.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing. It can disrupt the strategic deployment of the Japanese army and let them follow our rhythm.

I believe that only by doing this, can our Chinese nation win this war at the least cost, and preserve the vitality of the Chinese nation as much as possible!

So, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, I'm sure I'll poke this hornet's nest! "

"The chief seat is mighty! The chief seat is domineering!"

"The boss is right! We can't delay the time for too long, otherwise the night will be full of dreams!"

"Yes, the devils now occupy tens of millions of square kilometers of territory and have hundreds of times more resources than ours. We must not let them develop with peace of mind!"
