Chapter 405: China-United States Alliance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was already September, but the weather in China was still hot. The American delegation and the Chinese bipartisan delegation began negotiations. The Red Party took this very seriously. After all, they were recognized, and it was recognized by Capital America. They were surprised by this.
The negotiations between the two sides focused on the distribution of interests after the war. However, the United States is now powerful and has taken the lead, but it did not push its luck. Instead, it was quite easy to negotiate and returned all the Chinese territory. At the same time, it also tested whether the Soviet Union had the intention to take back the Chinese territory.
These two parties were a little hesitant. The Soviet Union was powerful in their impression, but not in Wesley’s case. This was not the Cold War, and the Soviet Union did not have a lot of German technology and equipment.
After that, both sides put this issue aside. Next is the strategic issue. The United States must first occupy the maritime power at sea before it can land and fight. Otherwise, the defense will be unstable. Therefore, China now needs to rely on its own strength to block the Japanese attack, and the United States will launch a maritime decisive battle to cut off the practice between the Japanese army and the mainland and isolate the invasion. Then, the United States military will land from the sea and fight. In this way, there are too many places to land. Now is not the time to decide, and both sides are keeping this a secret.
In the end, the Sino-American Alliance was officially established. Both sides were happy, and the Sino-American Alliance Treaty was signed.
This treaty was something that the parallel universe did not have, and it was also an attempt by Wesley. After all, in his opinion, there were only two major countries in the world, the United States and China, and if these two most promising countries formed an alliance, then the world would submit.
In the origin universe, the conflict between China and the United States is very big, but neither side dares to fight. China does not have the strength to attack, and the United States does not care about the attack. Once they fight, it will be World War III, the rhythm of the destruction of the earth.
Wesley was experimenting, but it didn’t matter. No one else knew, right?
Everything was ready. In early October 1939, the United States announced the jump between China and the United States, and then declared war on Japan. The Pacific Fleet began to surround Japan. The world was shocked that a third-party alliance had appeared.
No one knew what the United States was going to do, but Roosevelt knew that this was a big scene that Wesley had outlined for him. He did not know how far it would go, but the benefits were too great, and Roosevelt had to eat them.
After declaring war, Wesley directly ordered the Saipan military base in the Northern Mariana Islands to begin preparing for battle. Long-range reconnaissance aircraft were sent out to investigate the movements of the Japanese Navy. At the same time, the Guam Navy Base began to investigate the situation on Iwo Jima.
During this period, Japan had yet to build a large number of buildings on the islands. During World War I, Germany’s Pacific Islands were taken away by the United States. Now, the United States has established a blockade at sea and surrounded Japan.
Wesley had planned this for so long. How could he allow an accident to happen? Therefore, it was his idea to play it safe. Iwo Jima was not big, but it was very flat. Now that the other party had not built any fortifications, it was the best time to take it.
The Marine brigades on the Caroline Islands and Guam were ready to go. The 1st Task Force was responsible for covering the attack on the Ryukyu Islands, the 2nd and 3rd Task Force were responsible for covering the attack on Iwo Jima, and the 4th Task Force was wandering outside, ready to support at any time to prevent Japan from concentrating its main force on the sea. A large number of submarines were lurking around the two attack formations, and they were responsible for setting traps.
Riyadh was in a panic. They could sneak up on others, but when others attacked, they really didn’t know how to deal with it. They were the ones who started the Sino-Japanese War, followed by the Russo-Japanese War, and the parallel world was also the United States Pearl Harbor they attacked first. Wesley attacked first, and now they wouldn’t play. “Damn, this was premeditated.”
There was another argument, but it was useless. The two battlefields had already begun to attack. Iwo Jima was not big, less than 21 square kilometers. There were no fortifications in this place, and there were only some fishermen with a population of about 1,000 people. And the Ryukyu Islands were not the focus of defense now. Although there were many islands, they were generally not big, and the American occupation was very smooth. The engineer brigade immediately began to work, and the airstrips were built on both sides at the same time. Then the fighters and bombers began to move.
Wesley’s P-51 fighter directly became a kind of Wesley G-series fighter, carrying a secondary fuel tank directly from Guam to Iwo Jima. This move shocked the world. This was the rhythm of fighting a sea battle with the strength of the air force. All countries began to study it. They had already attached great importance to the aircraft, but so far, no aircraft had fought for the main force in the sea.
The main forces of the various countries were still battleships. Realizing the problem and solving it were two different things. Japan only had a few aircraft carriers now, and Wesley had directly used ten aircraft carriers. There were more than 1,000 plus aircraft carriers alone, and more than 2,000 plus fighters had been transferred over. In World War II, if the United States had made the first move, then Japan would not have been able to jump up and down. In the end, it was completely self-inflicted that Japan had been exhausted to death. Who asked them to make the first move?
In early November 1939, Wesley completed the preparations for the decisive battle. The Ryukyu Islands and Iwo Jima became forward bases, and then began the Burning Sun Plan. The two bases began to send a large number of bombers every day to attack Japan under the protection of fighter jets. The first targets were various military ports and shipyards, directly eliminating their potential.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The 500 attack missiles fell from the sky, and a huge explosion sounded. “Help!” The shipyard was the main target. There were still unfinished warships here. Wesley wanted to destroy these first and leave them powerless.
“Where are our fighters? Anti-aircraft units fight back immediately,” the commander in charge of the defense shouted.
“Reporting, our fighter was intercepted midway and is now fighting with American fighter in the air. There are not many air defense units and they were attacked as soon as they opened fire. It is difficult to organize an effective defense now.”
Japan’s defense is very weak. They have too few resources. Although they occupy the northeast, it is now under the jurisdiction of the Army. A large number of Army weapons are produced every day and sent to the front line. As for air defense weapons? Sorry, there is no time to produce them. The Imperial Army is advancing.
They had not expected this at all. Wesley had planned for a long time and had attacked ahead of time. There was no normal routine at all. He had directly approached the other party and bombed them with the air force. This tactic had appeared for the first time in naval warfare.
The world was also speechless about this kind of fighting style. The Americans did not care about the army on the Chinese ground at all, but directly attacked the other side’s homeland. Now, Japan either surrendered or fought a decisive battle to take back the two forward operating bases. There was no other way.
