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

Yin Xinjun looked at his two subordinates who looked a little worried, smiled and said,

"Look how anxious you two are. Don't worry. I'm here to break this deadlock!"

Zhang Wenjiu was overjoyed and asked,

"Is there anything the president can do?"

Yin Xinjun said to the two of them,

"You guys continue to fight the U.S. military in Augusta, I will go there myself!"

Ding Shan's face remained calm. He had already guessed the result in his heart. Yin Xinjun would do the same thing every time he encountered difficulties!

Zhang Wenjiu was a little worried.

"Mr. President, things are different now. The Americans' heavy firepower is too strong. You are taking too much risk!"

Yin Xinjun waved his hand and said,

"Xiao Jiu, don't worry. This is a piece of cake for me! Go and make some arrangements first. I'll discuss something with Ding Shan!"

Thinking that Zhang Wenjiu didn't know his secret yet, Yin Xinjun was unwilling to reveal too much.

After Zhang Wenjiu left,

Yin Xinjun pointed to the location of Melbourne and said,

"Ding Shan, I will first attack the Melbourne airport. After I succeed, I will send you a message. You must repair the airport in Augusta as soon as possible. Then, I will continue to attack the Sydney airport. After destroying the main force of the US Air Force,

The army units will advance quickly, with the main force divided into two groups. One group will attack south along the coastline towards Adelaide and Melbourne, while the other group will attack eastward towards Sydney! As for the navy, I will send a telegram to Yan Tian and have them act simultaneously! "

Ding Shan nodded and said,

"Yes, I will do it!"

Yin Xinjun waited until dark before leaving Reed in a helicopter!

United States, White House,

A fierce quarrel was going on.

Treasury Secretary Humphrey took the lead and said,

"In the first half of this year, the government deficit has expanded to 1096 billion U.S. dollars. If we continue to increase military spending, the government's debt by the end of the year will be a staggering figure!"

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Bradley countered:

"The Australian war has entered a critical moment. We have no way out. The allies of the free world are watching us. If we lose, we lose everything! We will lose the qualification to compete for global hegemony!"

Humphrey said,

"The cost is too high. Even if we win, the cost is too high. We have already spent 5000 billion US dollars on Australia, and now we have to add another 2500 billion US dollars to the budget. There are still many places where the government needs to spend money. This is not a small-scale war. It will drag down our economic development and reduce the living standards of ordinary people!"

Secretary of State Acheson put forward a new view.

"Mr. President, if, I mean if, this war is like the Korean War and we cannot win, then should we negotiate with Haizhou as soon as possible and establish diplomatic relations?"

Eisenhower's expression remained uncertain. He asked Bradley,

“Is the military confident that it can win this battle? How long will it take?”

Bradley said,

"Mr. President, if we only use conventional weapons, it will take us at least half a year to determine the winner.

However, our new equipment has already begun to enter the road of research and development. Supersonic fighter jets, air-to-air missiles, and surface-to-surface missiles should be available within six months to a year!

I believe that if we have these new equipment, we will gain a great advantage!"

Eisenhower said dissatisfiedly,

"Half a year! If we still can't win this war after half a year, we'll be in big trouble. The congressmen will definitely not let us go!"

Bradley knew very well that the president was facing a lot of pressure. The United States had already suffered a defeat in the Korean War and had directly impeached the previous government. If the same thing happened in Australia, Eisenhower's position would definitely be in jeopardy!

"President, I will have McCormick launch an offensive. According to their reconnaissance, the Haizhou Navy has three aircraft carriers. We should strive for coordinated sea and air operations to annihilate the enemy's aircraft carrier formation first!"

Southeastern Australia,

Albany Port,

A huge fleet meandered into the busy waters.

The nearly 300-meter-long "Huo Qubing!" aircraft carrier was the first to dock at the main dock. The signal lights on the island flickered like stars, and dozens of fighter jets were neatly arranged on the deck, like silver-winged beasts ready to go.

The destroyers and cruisers that followed were anchored one after another, with the steel hulls stretching for several kilometers, cutting the harbor's surface into a neat grid.

The dock was immediately in an uproar. A giant gantry crane started up at the same time, and the mechanical arm made a low hum, precisely connecting the one-meter-diameter fuel pipeline to the aircraft carrier's oil inlet. The dark brown fuel flowed into the hull like black satin.

The food supply area was even busier. Refrigerated trucks continuously brought in sealed vacuum food packages. Logistics staff in white coats were sorting frozen beef, vegetables, and compressed dry food boxes, and then hoisting them onto the ship.

On the flagship "Zheng He!"

Navy Commander Tang Yantian, Marine Corps Commander Yuan Canhai, and Naval Aviation Commander Guo Qiang were discussing the battle situation in the command room.

Guo Qiang said,

"After several rounds of reconnaissance by the carrier-based aircraft of the 1st Task Force, and with the report from the Army Aviation, the US aircraft carrier formation should be located in the Bass Strait south of Melbourne. The exact number is unknown!"

Yuan Canhai said,

"My goodness, that's 1300 nautical miles from here. The Americans are so cunning that they just don't dare to come over!"

Tang Yantian laughed.

"Isn't it the same for us? If he doesn't come, we won't go!"

Before the air force gains air superiority, neither side is willing to act rashly. After all, being too close to the coastline means they may be attacked by land-based aircraft at any time!

"Send a telegram and ask where Lin Jiwen and the others are?" Tang Yantian ordered the signalman!

Lin Jiwen is the commander of the Navy's 1st Task Force. He led three aircraft carriers forward to lure the enemy navy into battle, while Tang Yantian led five aircraft carriers following far behind!

In fact, in the current situation, both the enemy and us are waiting. Once the US military gains air superiority, they will definitely launch a decisive battle at sea and then seek landing operations on the west coast!

The idea is the same!

Soon the telegram arrived.

Tang Yantian took it and looked at it.

"They are about 200 nautical miles from Eyre Peninsula!"

Guo Qiang asked with some concern,

"Are they a bit far from us? Should we ask them to retreat?"

The signalman is here again.

"Report to Commander Tang, top secret message from the President!"

Tang Yantian received the telegram and was immediately overjoyed.

"The opportunity has come. Notify all ships to speed up the supply. We are about to set off!"
