Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

United States,

White House,

Office of the President,

Everyone in the room was silent.

The new president, Eisenhower, spoke first.

"Everyone, I personally think that the United States cannot afford such a consumption. If we continue to fight with Haizhou in Australia, the navy alone will need 1000 billion US dollars to build new ships. Adding the expenses of the army and air force, we will have to spend 2000 billion US dollars. Last year, our fiscal deficit due to the Korean War was as high as 1180 billion US dollars!"

Secretary of State Acheson expressed a different opinion.

"President, if we abandon Australia, we will abandon the Commonwealth. In the future, it will be difficult for these countries to keep pace with us!"

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Bradley also said,

"Mr. President, we just didn't expect that Haizhou's military strength is so strong. Their navy can now suddenly threaten us. This is too unfavorable to our global strategy. I think the country should enter a total war mobilization!"

Eisenhower suddenly said to a man in a black suit sitting on the sofa,

"Director Dulles, what intelligence did you get? Why didn't you have any information beforehand?"

Dulles blushed.

"Mr. President, since we have no diplomatic relations with Haizhou, and Haizhou has only two diplomatic partners, one of whom is our enemy, the channels through which our CIA can obtain intelligence are very narrow!

At present, we can be sure that Haizhou has a very strong military industry, and their military products are comparable to those of the United States!"

Acheson added,

"When Indonesia just changed its president, it expressed special friendship to us. But in less than a month, their President Nasution completely turned to Haizhou. This is really strange!"

When Bradley heard this, a vicious look immediately appeared on his face.

"If this is true, then we can't just sit back and watch Haizhou grow stronger. We must mobilize our military! And we absolutely cannot give up Australia! We must stay there as a springboard to strike Haizhou!"

Eisenhower sighed.

"Bradley, we have finished World War II, and next is Korea. The Korean issue is not over yet. If we really continue to fight in Australia, our national strength will be weakened very quickly. Our opponents include Haizhou and the Soviet Union! And none of our allies are really useful!"

Acheson said,

"In that case, why not submit it to Congress for discussion? I am in favor of continuing the fight!"

On the table, the phone suddenly rang.

Eisenhower picked up the phone.

"President, Philippine Ambassador Elos requests a meeting!"

"Okay, let him in!"

A man pushed the door open, his face full of anxiety.

"Mr. President, just now, at 20 p.m. Philippine time, Haizhou State once again dispatched hundreds of aircraft to bomb us. Currently, the damage is still being assessed!"

Eisenhower looked shocked.

"Oh, Ambassador Elos, this is terrible! I am so sad to hear this news!"

"Mr. President, our President Quirino would like to ask whether your country will fulfill the US-Philippines Security and Defense Treaty? If your country cannot fulfill it, we intend to conduct peace talks with Haizhou!"

Eisenhower said with embarrassment,

"It takes at least four months to prepare for a war, especially against a powerful opponent like Haizhou. It may take even longer!"

Ai Luosi couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed and let out a long sigh!

Haizhou State, Presidential Palace,

In the President's office,

There are two maps hanging side by side on the wall.

One is a world map,

One is a map of Haizhou State.

Yin Xinjun, Ding Shan, Tang Yantian, Kang Huaifu, and Peng Yuan were discussing the next countermeasures.

Ding Shan first said,

"According to the Suzaku reconnaissance aircraft's multiple reconnaissance missions, no Allied forces have been spotted to the west of Adelaide! However, the area east of Adelaide is beyond the range of our reconnaissance aircraft, so there is no way to conduct detailed reconnaissance!"

Tang Yantian also said,

"According to the submarine force's report, in recent days, at least more than fifteen cargo ships have been unloading cargo at ports on the East Coast every day! At the same time, the US military has dispatched three aircraft carriers to the East Coast!"

Recently, Yin Xin's army has stopped its offensive because the distance from the west coast to the east coast is 3300 kilometers. If the army advances, the cost of logistics supply will be too high, and if the navy advances recklessly, it may not be able to gain air superiority with only six aircraft carriers. In short, the chances of success are slim!

Yin Xinjun pointed at the map and said,

"From the current perspective, if we want to completely wipe out Australia's allied forces, we can only wait until we produce more aircraft carriers and more planes. To be honest, I am really afraid that the United States will abandon Australia. Since they are not leaving, then we have a chance!"

Peng Yuan said,

"The Navy currently has four aircraft carriers under construction, but it will take at least ten months for them to be delivered. Next, our Navigation Department will build three more large docks at the New Mulan Shipyard. In accordance with the President's request, the country can produce eight aircraft carriers at the same time!"

Yin Xinjun nodded.

"So, I'm not in a hurry. I can wait. This is the war of the century. We can only win and not lose. Everyone, the more fully prepared we are, the greater our chances of winning! As long as we annihilate all the Australian Allied Army, Navy and Air Force, we will be in a very advantageous position strategically!"

Kang Huaifu also nodded and said,

"From the perspective of pilot training, one year later, our various aviation schools, plus Mulan and Guangdong's aviation schools, will provide 3000 pilots every month. By that time, it doesn't matter how we fight, we can withstand the attrition!"

There used to be a saying that training a pilot would cost an amount of gold equivalent to the pilot's weight. But for Yin Xinjun it was very cheap. The biggest cost was the personnel salary, while the aircraft and fuel were negligible!

Yin Xinjun said,

"It seems that you, like me, are inclined to make full preparations. During this period, we will build at least 15 army airports on the west coast of Australia and deploy more than 2300 aircraft to ensure air superiority on the west coast!

At the same time, we must strengthen reconnaissance of neighboring countries. If any country dares to provide military bases for the Americans to use, we will strike it without hesitation, just like we did with the Philippines!"

Ding Shan asked again,

"The air strikes against the Philippines have been going on for more than three days. Now the various units of the Army Aviation have taken turns to go into battle, just like a live-fire exercise. The training effect is very good!"

Yin Xinjun smiled and said,

"We will keep fighting until the enemy collapses and begs for mercy. We will not allow a single US military base to appear within 1000 kilometers of Haizhou!"
