The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

Because my son has a bright future, he will be promoted no matter where he goes, and he will definitely not suffer a loss in salary. It just depends on how far he can go.

After some consideration, Lin Luan chose to stay in the special police team because he was most familiar with this place and was surrounded by old comrades, so he really couldn't bear to leave.

Now Tuman Linluan's police rank is first-class police officer, and he will soon become third-class superintendent. Under normal circumstances, this is a full six years of promotion requirement. Of course, those who have made meritorious contributions are exceptions. According to his ability, it will not be a problem for him to become a first-class superintendent or even a police inspector before the age of thirty.

Wait a minute, you're cheating!

Yes, you don’t think that the current strength of the caracal Lin Luan is not cheating, right?

Not long after, Lin Luan, the caracal, said in the group chat: "I've been promoted, so I'm afraid my online time will be reduced in the future."

"Congratulations, but will civilian special police officers also get promoted?"

"Dear, the prerequisite for becoming a civilian special police is to become a special police officer."

"With our current strength, we can also carve out a niche in the real world."

"Suddenly I feel a little moved, what's going on?"

"Forget it. In reality, we only have one life. If we are killed, we will die."

"I'm a coward, and it's fine this way."

"Comrades, don't underestimate yourselves. Everyone has their own strengths. In short, congratulations to Tuman Linluan."

Looking at the dense congratulations on the screen, Caracal Lin Luan smiled and lit a cigarette.

As expected, I feel most relaxed when chatting with my silly friends in the group.

At this moment, Lin Luan's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message sent to him by Fenghuo Company.

Simply put, it is a new contract. There is no mandatory online time requirement. The basic salary is definitely reduced, but it is still 5,000 yuan per month. It is worth noting that although this 5,000 yuan is not much, it is a basic guarantee of 5,000 yuan whether you are online or not.

The first thing that came to Lin Luan’s mind was that since he held a special public office, he couldn’t work part-time.

But when he thought of the uniqueness of "The Age of War", he smiled.

"How could a company that can develop world-traveling technology possibly be afraid of Earth's government? If they really wanted to take me down, they wouldn't need these things at all."

Having signed a new contract and decided on his life goal, Rabbit Mane Lin Luan entered the game with a relaxed mood.

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll randomly strangle a lucky drug dealer to death as a reward.

U.S. West Coast.

The shrill air defense alarm shattered the peace here. The Japanese army that occupied Hawaii finally maintained the national defense circle in their minds to a satisfactory distance. The United States, with all its battleships destroyed in the Pacific, was simply unable to launch any decent counterattack in a short period of time, so Japan decided to continue to put pressure on the United States and destroy its shipbuilding capabilities.

The United States, which has no external threats, is too powerful in industry. We must strengthen them, at least destroy the shipbuilding factories on the west coast of the United States, and we can also choose to land in America depending on the situation.

Landing in America was something Japan had never dared to think about in its previous strategy. However, after achieving such a huge success, people from top to bottom in Japan felt that if the United States could do it, why couldn't Japan do it?

So Isoroku Yamamoto formulated a new combat plan, code-named "Katana", the goal of which was to completely destroy the shipbuilding capabilities of the West Coast of the United States and disrupt its industrial production capacity through air strikes.

But before the formal action plan began, Isoroku Yamamoto still met with Hirohito, hoping that the army would cooperate with the navy's "Samurai Sword" operation. Because without the army's continued occupation, even if the navy destroyed the industry of a place, the United States could just rebuild it. The army's occupation could turn American resources into Japan's, and at the same time it could also spread the war to the US mainland, further increasing Japan's chances of victory.

It is impossible to completely defeat a country by relying solely on the air force and navy.

Chapter 179: Japan thinks it can do it!

(The fourth update! Here comes a 10,000-word update. In consideration of my hard work, where are your monthly votes?).

Do you know Kaiser Shipyard?

During World War II, it dominated the shipbuilding industry on the west coast of the United States, but with the end of World War II, it declined.

But World War II in the parallel world had just broken out not long ago, and the United States had been dragged down by Japan, so the Kaiser Shipyard, founded by the legendary American business tycoon Henry Kaiser in 1939, also stepped onto the stage of history and ushered in its own highlight moment.

The shipyards under Henry Kaiser were distributed in many regions. In the Pacific direction, there were Swan Island Shipyard in Portland, Oregon, Vancouver Shipyard in Washington State (this may be a little unknown: Washington State is in the northwestern United States and is one of the west coast states), and Oregon Shipbuilding Company.

Just mentioning the name will surely make everyone look up the history books, but when it comes to the famous Liberty Ship, comrades will definitely have an immediate impression.

In addition, there was the renowned US weekly carrier, the Casablanca-class escort carrier. Throughout World War II, Kaiser Shipbuilding's shipyards built 1490 ships, representing 27 percent of the US Maritime Commission's total construction output. They set a world record for Liberty shipbuilding, with an average construction time of just two weeks. The fastest ship took only 10 days from keel laying to launching, and Kaiser Shipyards' shipbuilding costs were only a quarter of those of other shipyards.

The price is that the durability of these cheap products is not very good, but at that time, production was more important than durability. In the face of the consumption of the world war, no matter whether you build battleships or rifles, they are all consumables. Soldiers don’t know whether they can see the sun the next day, not to mention these weapons and equipment. Instead of expecting each one to be a fine product, for example, the output should be so high that the enemy’s torpedoes are not as many as our ships.

Under this guiding ideology, the American manufacturing industry ushered in a climax.

By the way, large-scale standardized production and modular assembly of ships also started here. The United States during World War II was indeed the beacon of the free world.

But today, in this parallel world, Henry Kaiser's shipbuilding empire faces its most direct challenge yet - a bombing.

"Target found, start bombing!"

Under the guidance of the guidance aircraft, the Japanese bombers dropped bombs accurately on the Vancouver Shipyard in Washington State. Below were fleeing workers and burning factory buildings. Because the United States had not experienced an attack on its homeland for a long time, the local air defense force was almost zero. The Japanese naval aviation completed the bombing mission in a completely circular manner, and used a large number of incendiary bombs in the process.

There is no doubt that it was a friendly sponsorship from Amalgam, and the Japanese paid for it.

During the previous battles with the Volunteer Army, the Japanese were almost traumatized by this familiar mass-produced machine, so they developed a special weapon for this purpose. However, due to Japan's lack of oil, the research and development results could only remain in the testing stage, and mass production was impossible.

But the help of Mercury made up for this. As a qualified arms dealer, the "madmen" of Mercury didn't mind at all that they used American-made incendiary bombs to burn the United States. They were even willing to provide transportation services and deliver all kinds of supplies that the Japanese army wanted to designated locations. Therefore, in this bombing of the west coast of the United States, the Japanese Navy Air Force could let go and squander ammunition.

"Is this the mainland of the United States? What a beautiful place."

"The city is indeed very nice, but the defense here is really poor."

"Compared with the volunteer army, the US military is a joke."

"Hey, hey, hey, what did I see? A US military P-40. Haha, are they still using this antique?"

"It seems there are other types of aircraft. Is that a P-39?"

"They are all garbage, harvest them!"

The American fighter planes that arrived late from the nearby airport were quickly attacked by the Japanese aircraft. Facing the Japanese "electric" series fighter planes whose average speed was already hovering around 700 kilometers per hour, the American P-40 and P-39 were running like hell. They were suddenly shot down without even catching the shadow of the Japanese aircraft.

Just like the Soviet army completely defeated Finland, this time Japan completely defeated the US military. The difference is that the Soviet Union bullied Finland, but Japan was shitting on the heads of the American devils. The feeling is indescribable.

"Is this all you're capable of, America?"

"Boxers, boxers, this level of briefs can't satisfy me at all!"

"You are not even as good as a hair of the Volunteer Army! You are not even as good as a hair of the Volunteer Army!"

"Long live the Empire of Japan! The Empire is invincible!" The Japanese who had been suppressed for a long time finally released the frustration in their hearts.

When facing the volunteers before, they felt that no matter what they did, it was wrong. The gap between the two sides had reached a level that humans could not understand. However, there are also advantages to wrestling with the deadlocked often. That is, the Japanese pilots who survived were all elite, and their technical and tactical levels and reaction abilities crushed the American pilots at that time. In a one-on-many situation, they could be easily shot down. The battle was completely like an eagle catching chicks, and the American troops on the opposite side had no mother hen to protect them.

In history, the Japanese army was hunted by the US military in the Mariana Sea like turkeys, but now, the US military is the hunted turkey, and the Japanese army can do whatever they want on their land.

One after another, the Japanese naval aviation fighter planes returned with glory, and the low loss rate made Nan Yun question his life.

"Is this the strength that the world's leading industrial power should possess?"

"Commander, the Americans have been at peace for so long that they have forgotten how to fight against the strong."

When the operation just started, the command of the Japanese Combined Fleet was also quite nervous. After all, they were about to invade the homeland of the world's first industrial power. It was hard to imagine what would happen after this giant went crazy.

But after we really started, we looked at the results, and that was it?

The world's number one player was beaten 10-0 by us in every game, and sometimes even 15-0. This, this is not right.

Even the Chinese national football team didn't lose so shamefully. No wonder the only flaw is that the US isn't as good as China in football! (Nods).

"In that case, let's continue to increase our efforts!"

The results of the battle were so brilliant that even the usually conservative Nanyun Chuichi couldn't help but get an erection.

Adultery! (Close-up with clear meaning)

Compared with the ease and comfort of the Japanese army, the entire United States was in a state of chaos at this time.

Japan's bombing of the west coast of the United States directly made the American mainland no longer safe. From San Francisco to Los Angeles, the entire west coast of the United States was in mourning. Japanese planes came and went freely, and the US military's counterattack was like a joke.

"This is Los Angeles. Our plane was shot down like a balloon. Our plane was shot down like a balloon. I don't understand what those politicians are doing. Our homes are burning and our compatriots are struggling in hell. Has God given up on America?"

There is no need to wait until 2024. Los Angeles in 1941 was already burning under the attack of incendiary bombs. A reporter was roaring at the top of his lungs through the radio station. Even with only the sound, the listeners could imagine the tragic scene.

This kind of live broadcasting technology was naturally developed by the players. Through the amalgam channel, a radio station called "Voice of America" ​​was established in the United States. It promoted patriotic ideas in various ways and at the same time vigorously promoted voice live broadcast technology in the United States, shouting the slogan "Americans use their own voices to show their lives."

Very good, isn't it?

However, if this kind of live broadcast cannot be effectively controlled, then things that the government does not want to broadcast will be directly announced to everyone in the country. This kind of dissemination cannot be effectively prevented by the big government of the University of Tokyo in later generations, let alone the small government of the United States. The big government of the Roosevelt era was only relative to other periods in the United States. Compared with the University of Tokyo, it was a small government.

Roosevelt could make American capitalists respect the government, but we can make capital kneel down and beg for mercy at the door.

The consequences of overstepping the boundaries are very serious, aren't they, Mr. Jack Ma?

Roosevelt must have heard the Voice of America's national broadcast, but what he was worried about at the time was not the small matter of broadcast control, but whether the US military was protecting the security of the United States.

The Japanese planes are in the sky now, and you obviously cannot make the American people feel that the United States is protected.

"I don't want to hear any excuses. Now, transfer all the planes and anti-aircraft guns on the West Coast to me. We want to let the American people know that we have the ability to protect our homeland. Do you understand? Right now!"

Amid Roosevelt's roar, the U.S. Army and Navy dispatched all nearby fighter jets that could take off, and local U.S. pilots also began to do their best to defend their homeland.

With their hometown right behind them, the US military has no way to retreat!

Chapter 180: The devil's nature is hard to change

(Fifth update! Where are the monthly tickets, comrades?)

Compared to the simplicity and plainness of the missile age, the air combat of World War II has a classical beauty.

It’s not that there are no tactics in modern air combat, but with the assistance of many high technologies, the main role of human pilots is that of tactical commanders, who are only responsible for making judgments based on the existing intelligence and then pressing buttons.

Simply put, it means having the final decision-making power over the entire system's attacks.

This obviously lacks a lot of tension and excitement, especially the one-on-one combat like World War II.

It cannot be considered a one-on-one in the strict sense, there are still tactics, but when there is a big gap between the technical and tactical levels and the levels of weapons and equipment of both sides, a one-on-one situation can actually achieve very amazing results in a short period of time.

In actual combat, American pilots were indeed able to damage Japanese fighter planes and even destroy them, but generally speaking, American pilots suffered greater damage because Japanese pilots knew too well how to directly cause effective damage to the enemy's cockpit on the battlefield.

This technology was completely forced by the precise cockpit shooting of the Volunteer Army. To this day, they have not been able to do the same level as the Volunteer Army pilots, where at least half of the bullets hit the cockpit in a volley. But compared with American pilots, the cockpit shooting of Japanese pilots is terrifyingly accurate.

Among the American pilots who died, at least two-thirds had died before parachuting, and some died of excessive bleeding during the parachuting process. Japanese aircraft were basically a combination of high-performance machine guns and large-caliber machine guns. The large-caliber machine gun technology was sold to Japan by the United States in order to maintain a balance of power on the mainland during the Volunteer Army's full-scale counterattack.

Now it's okay, the boomerang hits him right on the head.

If a bullet of this caliber penetrates the cockpit, the pilot will almost certainly die.

From the perspective of local Americans, the planes falling from the sky were all domestically produced. The Japanese pilots were like accurate Western snipers. They quickly killed the enemy and left with a dashing back. Only the enemy's corpses gradually lost the last drop of blood in the cold wind.

As night fell, the Japanese pilots withdrew, leaving the American West Coast devastated.

This "Samurai Sword Operation" was a complete victory. The US military lost more than 1,000 fighter planes and more than 700 pilots were killed. All industrial facilities and shipyards within the attack range of the Japanese army were subjected to devastating bombing. Some airports were lucky enough to escape the disaster because all the fighter planes on them had been lost long ago, and the distance was relatively far and there were more valuable targets around, so they were abandoned by the Japanese army.

The west coast of the United States was crying under the cover of night, and the living people had to start struggling immediately. Fortunately, although the US military could not quickly replenish elite pilots, it could deploy a large number of anti-aircraft guns. No matter what, the United States is the world's number one industrial country, so in just one night, the United States taught the Japanese a lesson with its violent industrial production capacity.

They used the black radish tactic and began to compete with the Japanese in bladder capacity.

Heavy machine guns were combined into low-altitude air defense weapons, and all machine guns were used to manufacture anti-aircraft guns. The finished anti-aircraft guns were loaded onto vehicles as soon as they were pushed out of the factory and headed straight for the nearest train station. If the trains were not enough, they would be pulled there by high-powered trucks. Some factories had even begun to assemble anti-aircraft guns and trucks together.

Although it is an emergency measure, it is indeed useful.

A lot can be done in one night. For example, the next morning, when the Japanese naval forces came again, they were surprised to find that all the target cities had turned into fire hedgehogs covered with anti-aircraft guns.

It is impossible to expect anti-aircraft guns to shoot down all the planes, but under the combined attack of anti-aircraft guns and planes, Japanese pilots will not dare to be as arrogant as they were yesterday.

Aircraft will definitely lose out when facing off against anti-aircraft guns, except for the volunteer army, whose pilots can be reused.

Since the Japanese pilots had not yet mastered the resurrection skills, they were naturally unwilling to confront the US anti-aircraft artillery. The task of eliminating these targets should be left to the heavy bombers' ground-washing bombing, rather than letting the precious naval aviation dive bombers to specifically target them. If possible, it would be best to call on naval guns.

Through this desperate attitude, the United States made Japan understand the value of being the world's first industrial country.

They could literally blanket every major city on the West Coast with anti-aircraft guns in a single night.

Even in the morning, this replenishment continued. The method adopted by the US military was quite simple and crude, which was to build a large number of railways and roads to connect to those west coast cities. As the defender, the US military also knew that it could not defend all places 100%. In this case, let Japan feel the despair of having too many bombs but no targets.

Frankly speaking, the US's stance shocked the players who were secretly observing.

"Fuck, there is such a thing."

"I'm the protagonist of Modern Infrastructure Maniac 1.0, what do you think?"

"In this case, the effectiveness of the Japanese bombing is questionable."

"It's still effective. After all, the skilled workers and pilots who died can't be replaced in a short time."

"That's why we had to save people and lose land back then."

"According to this trend, the effectiveness of the Japanese's next air raid will be greatly reduced."

This is indeed the case. Although the Japanese air raids were still effective, the combat results were far different from before as all major cities were armed with anti-aircraft guns and turned into armored hedgehogs. Moreover, once a Japanese pilot was shot down, even if he made an emergency landing, he would land on enemy territory and the possibility of returning was very slim.
