The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

So Britain was beaten, disintegrated, in internal turmoil, and quarreled with each other. Because the noise was so loud, even the British army itself began to fall into chaos. There was even a spectacle of the Scottish Highland Regiment running to the German headquarters and demanding to follow the German army to deal with the British.

The German government immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to disintegrate the British resistance, so it made crazy promises. Except for England, the stubborn element, which must be liquidated, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can decide their own future destiny, even if it means establishing an independent country. We in Germany will protect you, so you can do it with confidence.

The British government naturally saw the great shortcomings and virtues of the Germans, but they were helpless because things like unity and centripetal force can only be continuously strengthened in daily work and life. It is useless to cram at the last minute. What's more, those forces who are willing to stand up for independence are originally the mortal enemies of the British. They wish that Britain would disintegrate on the spot.

So Britain fought a bizarre battle in a foreign land on its own soil. The German landing force had only five divisions, but the Irish who followed the Germans to beat the British army had five divisions, the Scottish had three divisions, and the Welsh had one division. I dare not say how strong their combat effectiveness was, but they were all good at dealing with the English.

At this point, the German army had formed a positive feedback loop in Britain. It was completely impossible to push the German army into the water relying solely on the strength of the British army. Resistance in various places was rapidly collapsing. Some surrender-oriented British people had begun to publicize how smart the French government was after surrendering and how many people it protected. It was not as stupid as our government, and now was a good time to surrender.

This sounds so familiar. It seems that whether at home or abroad, the capitulationist public intellectuals all have the same face.

The White House-p

Roosevelt took off his glasses and said helplessly: "Gentlemen, we have lost Europe."

If Roosevelt had said this at another time, people would have joked, "At least we still have America," and at worst it would be the Monroe Doctrine.

But the problem now is that even at America’s doorstep, it’s no longer safe.

The only good news is that there is no need to worry about the economic crisis in the United States. The huge demand for war has already smoothed out the problem of overproduction in the United States. However, if victory is not achieved, these explosive production capacities will gradually dry up and then backfire on the United States in another way. Although the Americans do not know that things will turn against themselves when they reach their extremes, they also know that continuing to release the military-industrial complex in this way will definitely cause problems.

Unfortunately, we are still in a state of war and there is no way to put on the brakes, so Roosevelt can only concentrate his attention with his staff team to solve the Mexican problem first. As for European affairs, as long as the United States can maintain its current status, they can just wait for the opportunity.

"We need a win, you know what I'm talking about."

"Yes, Mr. President, we need a victory, so we are already preparing for it."

"This victory must be overwhelming. There can't be any accidents. Listen, I mean no accidents!"

The staff remained silent. They really couldn't make any guarantees.

You know, during this period of time, the Mexican Avengers have almost driven the US military into... No, they have almost driven the US military into a nervous breakdown.

Not long ago, a US Army regiment had a camp cry. Everyone thought it was an Avengers attack. In addition, there was no moon or stars that night, so it was absolutely a conspiracy. The US Army completely fell into the chicken-eating mode. Some US soldiers who had already shown symptoms of depression and mental illness during this period began to kill everyone under the influence of opioids. When an inventory was taken the next morning, only two platoons were left in a regiment. Most of the dead were killed by the US military's own machine guns and bayonets, and all the officers were killed.

Considering that American military officers bullied soldiers on a daily basis and were purged in this way, there is definitely suspicion of revenge, but there is no evidence at all, because the survivors are all in a state of mental illness.

This camp riot scandal has put the US military in the spotlight. In addition, for some unknown reason, everything that happens on the front line of the US military can be sent to the United States for fermentation at the first time, even faster than the intelligence sent to the White House. As a result, no matter how the US government controls public opinion, it is always one step behind. The Voice of America, Voice of America, American God's Daily and other messy and all-round propaganda agencies have been tirelessly making things difficult for the US government, causing Hoover's recent mental state to be not very good.

He hasn't dated his boyfriend for a whole month. A month, what a horrible thing.

Yes, Hoover of the FBI was a gay, tsk tsk tsk.

"Mr. President, how about we change the battlefield?"

The staff member who gives advice typically only says half of what he wants to say because he doesn't dare to say the rest.

Change the battlefield. Now the United States cannot move the battlefield in Mexico further south, so it can only change to the northern battlefield. The northern battlefield is the US-Mexico border. If you are not careful, this battlefield will become the US mainland.

The United States mainland becoming a battlefield and Mexico becoming a battlefield are two different concepts, and Roosevelt could not withstand such great pressure.

"Does anyone have any other ideas?"

It is obvious that Roosevelt could not accept this happening. Even shrinking the front would cause an uproar in American public opinion.

So many people died, so much money was spent, and it was supposed to be a just action, but it ended up being a war to defend our homeland. How is that acceptable?

Even Roosevelt, who was all-powerful in American history, could not completely eliminate the opposition party. What the Republicans wanted to do was to make things difficult for Roosevelt. Although the dispute between the Donkey and the Elephant did not tear each other apart during the Roosevelt era, it did not mean that the opposition party would do something to trip him up when they felt it was appropriate.

"Mr. President, why don't we change our thinking and choose to win somewhere other than land."

Chapter 199: The highest level of destruction

(The third update is here, and there is more! At the same time, do you still have monthly tickets and reminders? The free ones)

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

The United States needs a victory now, but it is impossible for the United States to win immediately.

Fortunately, the United States was not in a stubborn state at that time, and the decision-makers were smart. So after much deliberation, they finally decided to win a victory on the battlefield where neither Japan nor Mexico could invest a lot of resources.

Simply put, the United States was preparing to launch a powerful attack on the Japanese troops in Mexico City in the Atlantic direction.

Mexico City is only 300 to 400 kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean, which is well within the attack radius of carrier-based aircraft. The US Navy can easily bomb Mexico City and then announce that the Japanese army has been severely damaged, so as to give an explanation to the country.

This is a typical way of fighting a political war, just like bombing Tokyo. It is not to inflict damage, but to prove that I can do it. The only difference is that this time it is being done at the doorstep of the United States, and the effect is definitely not as strong as the surprise attack on Tokyo.

In fact, Roosevelt had discussed the possibility of a surprise attack on Tokyo with his staff, but because all the US military ports and bases in the Pacific were destroyed, the Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, and the Japanese Combined Fleet was directly blocking the door, the Panama Canal could not be guaranteed to be safe. It would be a complete performance art to dispatch troops from the Atlantic to bomb Tokyo.

It would be really awesome to be able to do that, but the greater probability is that it will be a replica of the American version of the Battle of Tsushima.

After so many failures, the US military really can't afford to lose, so to ensure the success of this operation, at least to give an explanation to the United States, it can only adjust the difficulty of the mission to simple mode when it seems more difficult.

The good news is that the United States’ new aircraft carrier has finally been launched, the new Enterprise. Let’s applaud it.

The bad news is that the new Enterprise is so new that even the sailors on it are new, so new that there is not a single veteran.

Students who often play the role of Japanese soldiers in the Pacific battlefield know what this means.

The three newly built aircraft carriers are of the crash course type, using the foundation of the previous cruisers. It is equivalent to urgently modifying three aircraft carriers. Compared with the level of World War II, they are considered to be light aircraft carriers. Compared with real aircraft carriers, they are much inferior. The number of carrier-based aircraft is only one-third of that of regular aircraft carriers. Although the names are still Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown, compared with the real regular aircraft carriers in history, the current situation of these three poor sisters is really not optimistic.

The personnel are new, the ships are newly modified, there is no training, and the mission is urgent.

The debuff is maxed out.

The only good news is that these aircraft carriers are fully equipped. At the same time, the US Navy has dispatched several light aircraft carriers temporarily converted from merchant ships to assist in escort. Together with other Atlantic ships as guards, the scale looks quite intimidating.

The two-ocean naval foundation of the world's first industrial power is indeed terrifying.

So how many ships can the United States deploy in the Atlantic?

There are also many old and modernized battleships, but most of them have been converted to gunnery training ships. They need to be upgraded to return to combat, but they can be put into combat quickly. There are still five such battleships available. As for aircraft carriers, there are the Ranger and Langley. These are light carriers and certainly cannot compete with the main carriers, but they can be used as supplementary forces for the aircraft carrier formation. There are more cruisers and destroyers, but they are basically old.

In general, the United States has adopted a defensive strategy in the Atlantic. The speed of its main ships is below 25 knots, and they are basically responsible for performing auxiliary tasks. To deploy these ships as offensive forces, large-scale renovation and processing work must be carried out first. No matter how fast the speed is, it is only fast in hardware. The training and adaptation of personnel takes time.

But now the United States no longer has such leisurely time and must assemble troops immediately, so the U.S. Navy is also drawing forces from the Army Air Force. The new aircraft has not yet been built, so the F4F will continue to be used. When the time comes, a large number of aircraft will be deployed to the battlefield to compete with the Japanese army in consumption. In terms of industrial production capacity, the United States is not afraid of any country except the Volunteer Army. This is the pride that belongs unique to the world's number one industrial country.

In order to ensure the success of the plan, the United States built a large number of airports in the US-Mexico border area. These changes were naturally noticed by players operating in the United States, because some of them were workers building the airports.

Player Base

"The Americans are building tons of airports along the U.S.-Mexico border."

"A lot of B-17s are coming in. Yes, I'm there."

"The US government hired quite a few Chinese workers, including many Japanese workers, but they actually gave them normal wages and benefits. Tsk tsk tsk, they must be afraid we'd find fault with them."

"The benefit of having a strong motherland behind you is that people working abroad can earn money while standing still."

"Indeed, but when I think about some Run people also taking advantage of it, I instantly feel unhappy."

"That would only work if it's Runren, the one who didn't tear up his passport, haha."

"Didn't the authorities issue a mission to destroy the US military airfield?"

"Not yet. Even if it were released, I wouldn't really want to spoil it. I just want to see the US and Japan engage in a massive aircraft battle in Mexico."

"It's our mission, it's our mission to attack the US military airport, but we will control the intensity ourselves."

"What a free mission! Then let's work hard to help the US military and Japan maintain a balance in their air forces."

"Right, right, right. Pure crushing is so boring. Only when the strength is evenly matched can the fight be effective."

"Oh my god, why are the players so mean?"

"You're talking as if you're not a player."

"Let me explain. We gamers are just as bad, or even worse."

Below is a large area of ​​+1, and some players with strong mobility have begun to call for fire support at the US military airport.

That night, players disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and wreaked havoc on the rear airports being built by the US military. More than one-third of the US military airports and airports under construction were reduced to ruins. The US military was caught off guard and suffered huge losses.

This undoubtedly interfered with the US military's plans, but the determined US government directly asked the US military to continue construction despite the casualties. The angry US military also held their breath, and many projects continued to proceed. Players also carried out appropriate destruction, some of which was not visible on the surface.

"Speaking of which, we're all pretty good at mechanical repairs, right? So why not disguise ourselves as mechanics?"

"What a great idea! Damn it! This is the pinnacle of sabotage."

"I have successfully infiltrated. Everyone, remember to change into a white appearance. It will be easier to infiltrate."

"I get it, I get it. Americans, racism is their foundation."

With the professional skills of players, they can quietly repair a good plane into a bad one, or simply manufacture the same aircraft with quality problems as the US military. After the aircraft with quality problems is put on the game store, they can go directly to the US military hangar to steal the original aircraft and put a plane that looks exactly the same on the surface but actually has a lot of problems.

This arrangement is completely a random lottery model. Even if someone investigates, it is the problem of the aircraft manufacturer, or there is a problem with the materials they use. After all, to repair an aircraft to the point of structural strength collapse, you need to use destructive tools. During daily maintenance, several people are busy together, and the hangar door is open. With so many pairs of eyes watching, they can still penetrate and destroy silently. This is not a horror accident, but a ghost story.

Thanks to the efforts of the players, one-third of the various aircraft in the subsequent US military's "Market Garden" operation had serious quality problems during the battle, and the pilots were either killed or disabled. The subsequent investigation made all American aircraft manufacturers shocked three times a day. It was called the "North American Aircraft Quality Disaster" and went down in history. It became strong evidence for countries around the world to mock the level of the US aircraft manufacturing industry. The problem continued until the end of World War II.

A joke about World War II: The quality of American aircraft Question: Why didn’t the United States have ace pilots in World War II?

A: Because their best pilots died in crashes before they could become aces.

Question: Why didn’t Britain have many ace pilots in World War II?

Answer: Because after they came to Canada, they purchased American fighter jets.

Q: Why did Flying George from Britain become an ace pilot?

Answer: Because he used the Canadian-made Hurricane fighter jet.

Section 200: Who is Commissioner Smith?

(Fourth update! 10,000 words updated. Are there any monthly tickets or reminder tickets left? Thank you comrades)

Those students who often served as pilots in the United States in later generations all know that with the full efforts of Commissioner Smith, American aircraft have gradually developed in the direction of India, and the problems are varied and astonishing.

But that is because the United States later fell behind in both basic education and basic industries. If Moscow walked on two legs, one thick and one thin, then the United States directly amputated its basic industries below the chest, and still hoped to dominate the world by relying on castles in the air-like structures.

That is just wishful thinking, but the United States during World War II was a veritable manufacturing power. Perhaps there was still a gap between them and traditional industrial countries in the field of precision technology, but they were just doing it roughly, and the problem of whether there was one or not had already been solved.

At least it is more like an industrial country than Japan during World War II.

With this confidence, the US military's air strike plan against Mexico City was modified into the "Market Garden Operation" to "completely seize air superiority in Mexico."

According to the calculations of the US General Staff, even if the US military exchanged ten planes with the Japanese, the Japanese would definitely be the ones who could not be exchanged in the end. The Japanese army did build many airports in Mexico, but there were very few planes in these airports, and the Japanese planes had to be transported from Japan to Mexico, which cost a lot of money.

As for local manufacturing in Mexico, it is not impossible, but it requires a whole set of industrial production transfer and manufacturing work to ensure that the aircraft manufactured in Mexico can compete with the US military. However, Japan also needs to ensure the suppression of the US west coast while doing so, and maintain control of the Pacific, as well as deterrence against the US mainland.

Then Japan needs to build a super-national destruction fleet. If there are 30 regular ships in the small book, then it is indeed something to consider. But if Japan really builds 30 regular ships, then it will not be a question of whether it can fight a war, but a question of whether its finances will go bankrupt.

The daily expenses of maintaining a fleet are huge, but you can't avoid spending money.

So now Japan has fallen into a situation where it has bitten off more than it can chew. The area it controls is indeed very large, but such a large area is a standard balloon. As long as the US military finds a suitable breakthrough direction, bang, this balloon will explode immediately.

Look at the long Japanese transport lines all the way to Mexico.

Starting from mainland Japan, the ship first goes to the Philippines, then to Papua New Guinea, then to the Solomon Islands, then to the Marshall Islands, after passing Midway Island, it goes to Hawaii, and then to Mexico or the mainland of the United States.

Don't ask why we don't take the northern route. The ice floes and extreme cold climate are not very friendly to warships. Moreover, attacking Alaska poses too little threat to the US mainland, and there are not many people there. If we continue to go south, we have to force our way through Canada. Anyway, it is a route that looks a little shorter but is more difficult.

In short, the southern archipelago transportation route is Japan's best and only choice. There are only so many local resources that can be used. Now that they have finally caught their breath, it is impossible to directly send troops to defeat the United States. Even if players provide Japan with enough resources, their industrial production capacity cannot keep up.

The reason why the United States is now suffering is entirely because Japan has a volunteer army production system behind it that conducts international trade in the name of the United States.

Mithril and Amalgam companies funded Sandezi and the Japanese respectively, but this funding was conditional and required the two countries to exchange minerals, precious metals and antiques. These things would be collected by Liu Qi through the player's trading system and would be of great use in the future. At least if they did not fall into the hands of the United States, it would be considered a victory.

Precisely because there is only this one line to maintain transportation, Japan's troop deployment to the Americas is limited, and it relies more on the hatred of the local Mexicans towards the United States. The stronger their hatred and the more avengers there are, the more stable Japan's control over Mexico will be, and the more it can contain the United States.

As for mainland Japan, large-scale industrial packing has now begun in preparation for moving to Australia.

After seeing all this clearly, let's look back at the current situation in Mexico. If there are no players to help balance it, the US military's fight for air supremacy will become very easy, and it can directly crush it with massive industrial production capacity.

During this period, more than a thousand US bombers were blown up by players, and even more fighter jets. However, there was still a steady stream of aircraft of various models being sent to the front lines via US railways and highways. States near the US-Mexico border even entered a military-industrial prosperity mode, with a large number of manufacturing industries moving to these places, causing the southern states of the United States to begin a drastic industrial transformation.

After all, the Great Lakes Industrial Bureau is still a bit far from the US-Mexico border.

The industrial structure of the United States was also strongly and far-reachingly affected by this war.

Atlantic Ocean, US aircraft carrier formation.

"Shit, get out of the way!"

The guide on the aircraft carrier shouted and rushed out, and then a carrier-based aircraft slid out from the deck of the aircraft carrier in a very abstract posture, and with a plop, it successfully possessed the displacement measurement unit.

"Who rushed out?"

"It's Bryson."

"Poor guy, I hope he's okay."

"Make way, there are wounded."

On the deck of the Enterprise, the aircraft carrier ground crew was busy and nervous. Similar flight accidents had recently become like the Master Chief's gout, occurring frequently and sporadically, to the point where they would feel uneasy if nothing happened one day.
