Before, Wang Jitong was worried about fighting with two world powers, but when facing reality, he finally changed his attitude and felt that the three East Asian countries could indeed fight with one. Yang Rui did not say anything, but he smiled while drinking tea. At least it is desirable to attack North America on paper, and the next thing is how to complete it in reality. Unlike the extremely smooth plan on paper, he believes that there must be countless obstacles in the implementation process. For example, it is not easy to find a foothold in Mexico and Cuba, and it is even more difficult to find a foothold and bomb the bauxite in several southern states.

Of course, Americans knew the importance of bauxite. If they lost bauxite, they would lose the Air Force. According to data that was difficult to distinguish between true and false in Yang Rui’s notebook: Even if the Soviet Union had 280,000 tons of aluminum provided by the Allied forces in World War II, and the average annual output of 260,000 tons of aluminum was only 120,000 tons of aluminum per year, this aluminum production could only be made of wooden aircraft; Japan was considered stingy, and the aircraft was small and light. During the entire war, only more than 14,500 twin-engine bombers and 40,000 fighters were built; while Germany had an aluminum production of 190,000 tons in the year of war, and the highest was 260,000 tons. This aluminum production was only enough to build a tactical air force.

The aluminum that touched the Americans was the life of the Americans. In the early stages of the bombing, the US Army Air would definitely fight for life, so I don’t know if the Air Force can withstand it. Thinking of this, Yang Rui asked: “According to this year, 50,000 combat aircraft and 10,000 bombers, is this enough? Can we add a portion of it?”

"Sir, it depends on whether there is an additional source of military expenditure." Zhou Sixu said. "Banks and Banks have come up with many ways to make money. Another thing is that before landing in Panama, we must take South Asia. After landing in Panama, it is best to take India, West Asia, Africa and other places. In this way, except for Europe and the Soviet Union, the resources of the whole world are in our control. In addition to resources, Asian dollar can also be widely circulated in these areas. In this way, the annual military expenditure will definitely exceed 60 billion, reaching 70 billion or even more.

The current situation is that adding 10,000 single-engine combat aircraft will require approximately 2.1 billion military expenditure, of which 400 million is the cost of replacing accessories. Among them, the ratio of aircraft to pilots is 5 to 3. If it is one to one, plus airport facilities and radar groundwork, it will require 2.6 billion. However, fighter jets are being upgraded every year. We roughly judge that new aircraft can only be used for one year, no more than two years at most. So looking at this, the ratio of aircraft pilots to five to three is more than enough. At that time, there must be insufficient new aircraft and too many pilots. Many new pilots can only fly aircraft that have been used for one year.

The ratio of aircraft and pilots on the bomber side is one to one. Although there will be additional models of machine gunners, machine gunners will not increase the training costs much, so the military expenditure required for every 10,000 four-engine bombers is approximately 7.5 billion, and every 1,000 is 7500 million. However, unlike single-engine aircraft that are outdated in one year, the use of four-engine bombers is astonishing. According to current estimates, even if military pay, ammunition, fuel, and airport facilities are not calculated, 10,000 bombers will use about 800 million of accessories every year, especially when replacing engines. In this way, every 1,000 bombers will require 8300 million."

Zhou Sixu paused at this point and said: "In fact, in addition to increasing the cost of building more aircraft, there is another way to shorten the range. Taking off from the US-Mexico border, bombing the bauxite mine in Arkansas, and taking off from Cuba, bombing the scattered aluminum mine in Alabama and Georgia was only 1,200 kilometers. Such range bombers can not only be fully loaded, but fighter jets can escort. This gain is much more important than increasing the yield of the aircraft."

"That means that both Mexico and Cuba will be taken." Yang Rui thought. "And the army will push the front line to the US-Mexico border."

"Yes, sir. This is necessary from the perspective of restricting the opponent. Once the range is shortened to within 1,200 kilometers, then the 40,000 aircraft of the Air Force will be able to fight fully with the US Army Airlines. Once the battle is in progress, considering that they lack aluminum, the aircraft will be fired one less, and in the end they can only use wooden aircraft."

"What is the difference in performance between wooden aircraft and aluminum aircraft?" Wang Jitong, the bystander, suddenly asked.

"Wooden aircraft mainly has insufficient strength in the body, and to achieve this strength, the aircraft will appear very heavy, resulting in insufficient maneuverability; in addition, the wood is not homogeneous and glue is required to be bonded, so quality control of the manufacturing process is extremely critical. With the product control of American factories, this obviously has to be a problem;

Finally, there is the output and model. The wood needs to be processed for a long time after being cut. The most important thing is to make it lose water naturally. At the same time, considering that the wood is prone to deform, no matter how careful it is, the life of the body is difficult to exceed one year or even half a year. Especially in the wet south, the wood deformation is even worse. These two factors will greatly increase the difficulty of mass production of wooden aircraft, and the intensified mass production pressure will cause the production quality to be out of control, thus forming a vicious cycle.

In addition to this, wooden aircraft can only make single and twin-engine aircraft, and four-engine bombers cannot be built considering the strength of the fuselage. This means that the Americans only have one tactical air force, and the performance of this air force's combat aircraft will be far behind us." Zhou Sixu explained. "Based on the above considerations, even if the Air Force bomber troops are wiped out, they will have to forcibly suppress the bauxite production in the south of the United States and ensure that their aluminum production is only below 50,000 tons, or even almost zero."

"Okay, let's talk about it." Yang Rui remembered it in his heart, but he didn't care. He pointed at the general and said, "Why is the ammunition and navy gone after it?"

"Sir, the navy needs less ammunition." Zhou Sixu said, "We estimate that the navy's annual ammunition fee will be about 300 million yuan. After landing in Panama, the United States' oil production has dropped sharply. She can only use limited oil for the army. Maritime warfare will only occur between submarines, aircraft carriers and land-based aircraft. In addition, the navy's equipment can also be reduced on a large scale in the later stage. Now, the navy will still have 3 billion equipment fees for 32 years, 2 billion in 33 years, and 1 billion in 330 years. This is just an estimate. In fact, I think the navy's equipment fee can be reduced to less than 1 billion yuan after landing."

After talking about the naval ammunition and equipment expenses, Zhou Sixu continued to say something else, "The Air Force had an equipment expense of 20 billion yuan each year in the later period. The ammunition expenses were mainly considered strategic bombing, so they increased year by year, with a maximum of 2 billion yuan. Oil is calculated based on oil production, and the maximum of 4 billion is an estimate. In fact, chemical products should not be used. The main investment in the early stage is huge, the technology investment is also high, and the real production expenses are not high. The investment in the early stage of the petrochemical industry has been listed in the ‘Other’ column, with about 4 billion yuan in infrastructure and production expansion costs every year.

The standard for pension is one thousand yuan and disability is five hundred yuan. This was issued at that time, and there will be pensions every year in the future, but these are not reflected here. In the year when we landed, we expected that there would be one million and a half million casualties, of which 500,000 were killed and a million were disabled. The subsequent estimate was two hundred and a hundred and a hundred and a hundred and a thousand were injured every year."

The numbers are extremely understatement, but the truth is cruel. Yang Rui pondered for a moment and said, "If Mexico could invite us earlier, then we might be able to land in Mexico, so there would be fewer casualties when landing."

"Sir, we judge that in order to prevent our army from landing, the entire Mexico will be occupied by the United States. Considering the preparation time, even if the Mexican President invites us to settle in, we can only be helpless in the face of the full pressure of the US Army. Therefore, the early bombing can only hope for Cuba. There is more than 260 kilometers away from Miami, the nearest port of the mainland. The submarine force can completely isolate the US military's maritime supply, and Cuba is in a serious anti-US sentiment. This is the place to be seized before landing."

"It's a pity that the Cuban government is still pro-US." Yang Rui thought of the Intelligence Agency's analysis of the Cuban government, but unfortunately said.

"But the Cuban people are not pro-American." Zhou Sixu added. "I think it is best not to use the Peng bomber on a large scale before capturing Cuba. Or it is necessary to wedge a nail in Cuba at the same time as the landing of Cuba, so that the army can have a foothold when landing. I have already mentioned this suggestion to the General Staff. Everyone thinks that the landing army is not impossible. What they are worried about is how the army will persist in Cuba in the absence of supplies. Too few people will be strangled by the US army, and too many people will not be maintained."

"Which year will be confirmed when you take Panama?" Yang Rui asked.

"It is expected to be at the end of the 29th year of Shenwu." Zhou Sixu said. "That is the end of the year after."

"Can't the supply be maintained at this time?" Yang Rui asked strangely: "Don't the Army build 30 million tons of ships? They are not landing for the time being, can't they be recruited?"

"Sir, we are mainly worried that the Panama Canal lock will be blown up by the US military when it was captured. If a lock is destroyed, we will have to delay at least half a year. Gibraltar may not be able to take it in the Mediterranean in the past six months, so the supply range of bypassing the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa will exceed 25,000 kilometers. And the resources and military expenditure of that year can help the army fight in Cuba..."

"As much as you can, you can make up for it." Yang Rui explained. "Cuba does not need an armored division, but a mountain division is enough. In this way, the oil will be saved. The remaining supplies can also be solved locally. Only ammunition needs to be replenished. This matter can be left to the Japanese. Haven't they saved forever in fighting? At that time, we land in Panama from the Pacific Ocean, and they land in Guantanamo, Cuba from the Atlantic Ocean. If there is insufficient preparation, the entire landing can be postponed for half a year."

Seeing that Yang Rui was really determined to take Panama and Cuba at the same time, Zhou was shocked and said, "Don't postpone it. The more you postpone it, the more you prepare, the more you prepare. We must take Panama in the 29th year of Shenwu and block the whole of the United States."

"Then let's settle it." Yang Rui nodded, "Compared with whether the army's tactics are confidential, it is more important to seize Cuba to bomb the bauxite in the south of the United States. If necessary, the Meow-style tank can be used in Cuba. Once Cuba is used, it can be used in Panama."

"Students will explain to the General Staff to change the combat plan of this part when they go back. They are not actually worried about the Meow style, but about the Buddha's mat being exposed in advance." Zhou Sixu smiled. The General Staff probably has many army officers, so when making plans, they involuntarily consider the army, especially tactics and weapons confidentiality. But if you say this to Mr., then you will have no worries anymore.

Buddha mats are hovercrafts. Drawing on the Arab flying carpet in mythology, the project team took the name of Buddha mats. Landing with hovercraft will indeed make the US military unable to defend itself, but if the weapon is captured and copied by the US military, even if it is not copied and only knows its performance, it will be detrimental to subsequent large-scale landings. Americans who are wary of it will definitely make their side bleeding when they land.

"If you are exposed, just expose it." Yang Rui, who knew how to choose, was sure. "I would rather sacrifice 500,000 more people when the army landed, than to suppress the production of American aluminum as soon as possible. Landing may really cause heavy losses, but once landing, we will be able to fight if we have air supremacy. Not to mention how many people will be sacrificed, the key is that the North American war can end as soon as possible. But don't forget that the North American war is only part of the entire world war. We have been fighting in North America for the past few years, and I am afraid that Germany will swallow the entire Europe long ago, and the Soviet Union has probably been beaten half to death by him..."

Speaking of this, Yang Rui thought about what would happen if the Soviet Union had no US aid alone against Germany? He had seen too many Soviet fans saying that US aid arrived only forty-three years later, and US aid did not affect the war. But from the perspective of military expenditure, trucks were undoubtedly the most expensive equipment of the World War II Army. The initial equipment cost was estimated to be 4.5 billion, more than 1.2 million; followed by 2.4 billion, 150,000 armored vehicles; then 1.8 billion, 32,000 vehicles. Even if the Soviet-German war was stalemate, the Soviet Union, whose industrial bases were all in the west, was likely to be unable to persist, and the steel comrades were really going crazy.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui couldn't help laughing. When America left, it was true that Greater China could turn the tide and uphold world justice. He laughed for no reason, but Wang Jitong's mouth was so good that he could swallow a teapot. He said, "Ah?! Europe also needs to fight? When was this decided? Why didn't I know?"

Seeing Wang Jitong surprised, Zhou felt a smile but said nothing, but Yang Rui said: "Brother Xiao Xu. From the perspective of the American people, he is most afraid of three situations: First, Germany ruled Europe and occupied most of the Soviet Union, which is actually to obtain raw materials for Soviet Russia; second, the Soviet Union occupied Central Europe, that is, Germany and France; third, the Sino-Japanese Alliance, or the Soviet Union ruled China and Japan. These three situations are what Americans are most worried about. If we were to completely occupy the North American continent, we would also have to worry about the first and second situations, especially the first situation.

Although Germany is fascist, it only excludes Jews and inferior races, and only regulates the economy rather than destructive occupation. This political system can be maintained, and it is nothing more than to constantly plunder foreign countries. As for Europe, we would rather see the Soviet Union occupying Europe than Germany occupying Europe. Therefore, in order to eliminate future hidden dangers, Germany will definitely continue to fight, at least southern Europe and eastern Europe will be spit out."
