Chapter 215 Outside the Battlefield 1

What kind of plan to adopt to support the Southeast Asian allies has always been the focus of the U.S. military debate, but one thing is the same. The United States, which has seriously weakened its national strength after the economic crisis, urgently needs a war to improve its international status, and China, its rival for decades, has undoubtedly given them such an opportunity! If the United States retreats without a war, the consequences will be as serious as an economic crisis, which will further weaken her leadership in the world, which no politician will allow! But once the head-on confrontation is launched, how much will the loss be? Whether they can win successfully is also a question that they have to consider, and once the war starts in an all-round way, it will be no less than an economic crisis for the United States. It may only be other countries that may ultimately benefit, not their so-called world superpowers! War and no war have become the focus of controversy between the Pentagon and the White House, how to participate in the war... And this problem is now very urgent. Once Southeast Asian countries can't support it, they have to retreat sadly, so it can't be delayed!

Before the Pentagon came up with the final plan, some militants have taken action. A former military organization called on people all over the world to support the "bullied" Southeast Asian Union and recruited a large number of retired pilots to participate in the war in the Far East. This initiative has received the response of many former American pilots. On January 6, more than 100 pilots expressed their willingness to go to the battlefield generously. Two days later, the organization had received more than 300 applications, and by the 9th, it continued to increase to more than 500. Even some former pilots in their 50s expressed their willingness to go to Southeast Asia as mercenaries or volunteers. . On March 9, the first batch of more than 70 former pilots have come to Indonesia, "magnificent, high-spirited, across the Pacific Ocean". The retired pilots recruited by the organization are mostly Americans and a few Europeans. Many people think that China is too arrogant and doesn't pay attention to their beloved fighters. Most of the fighters (European and American fighters) that were shot down in the air battle were the fighters they once loved infinitely, and some people even flew as test pilots! But pilots alone are not enough. They have to have aircraft to form combat effectiveness. The pilots of the coalition do not have planes, not to mention them? Soon, some people sent them fighters, some organizations raised money to buy planes, and even some American organizations openly called on people to donate money to buy fighter planes. It is said that many people actually donated money, and some rich people donated a huge amount of money to buy fighter planes! According to the news interview, many pilots are trying to fight against China's "invasion", and some pilots said that they want to compete with their Chinese counterparts... In short, the elites of these aviation powers are unwilling to let their Chinese counterparts specialize in the United States! Because according to the news, since the beginning of the war, at least 14 pilots have shot down more than 10 of the other planes, and these pilots are all Chinese pilots, which makes some money pilots and aviation enthusiasts very dissatisfied and want to fight with China's ace pilots!

Regardless of the purpose, by mid-March, more than 200 pilots had come to Southeast Asia through some organizations or at their own expense. Most of these people came to Indonesia, and then a considerable number of them moved to Thailand. But the problem is that the coalition lacks advanced fighters, and letting these "men" fly those ordinary fighters will definitely "dispel the enthusiasm of the people of the world". Although some organizations have raised more than 30 fighters and are ready to go, even so, it is still far from enough to use! At this time, the U.S. military needs to take a statement!

People all over the world are staring at the world's number one country. They want to see how she deals with China, which ranks second, is a front-on war, and then a world war, or a proxy war, a fight and talk, and finally a decent compromise between the two sides; the world's national politics The government is staring nervously at the U.S. government, hoping that she can nod and shake her head. At the same time, some opponents around the world are also surging undercurrents, hoping to solve their own problems when the big countries have no time to take care of them. More countries began to lobby for the big countries that are fighting against the bull, "Step back and endure the wind and waves." Some non-governmental organizations between China and the United States are also actively working, hoping to serve as a fulcrum to balance the current situation in the Far East! Although the government of Z and the Chinese army are ready, they have repeatedly shown goodwill gestures, "It's up to you"...

Although the government of Z has adopted fierce measures, it has never been ruthless and has always left room for the world's bigwigs! Although Southeast Asian countries are noisy, they have only sent some troops to carry out lesson strikes, and have not sent superior troops to "flatten". For example, Vietnam is only destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of troops have only been besieged and not eliminated. Since the Philippines ploughed various air force bases, They have been allowed to go on at their own. Even the other three countries only sent two aviation engineers to train with them, and did not mean to further expand the scale of the war. If you are really determined to attack these countries, it may not be easy for the Philippines to fight, but Vietnam will definitely be subjugated, and Thailand will also be attacked. China's army has always been the most powerful. Although it can't go to Thailand, it has a long border to attack through the allied Laos. I believe that Thailand The Chinese people must not be able to resist the ground offensive. Maybe their performance is not as good as that of the Vietnamese...

I put up with it when you American gave Indonesia's most advanced early warning aircraft. I put up with it. I put up with you American soldiers stationed in Australia. I also put up with it when you American's six aircraft carrier battle groups Chen Bing off the coast of the Philippines. And all this, I just sent four nuclear-powered submarines to stand guard for you, and as soon as I appeared, Leave, this is far more kind than the pressure of soldiers you obviously put on! Look, the coalition can't beat these two aviation divisions. Didn't I withdraw all of them? As for sending two more, it's just a charge. The combat effectiveness of these two divisions is definitely not as good as the previous ones. There is no need to make a fus. After all, the Allies of the Three Kingdoms still have nearly 200 advanced fighters, and the repair is almost enough! The government of Z has shown enough posture. Although most of the air battles in Southeast Asia were initiated by China, except for the first time, the number of fighters sent by China is very limited, mainly limited to the two aviation divisions stationed in southern Vietnam, which can be said to have maintained considerable patience!

Many countries and people have admitted that China has a strong basic strength and has always won with sea of people tactics. This time, it can be said to be quite restrained to send only two aviation divisions to deal with the allied forces of the Three Kingdoms with more than 20 aviation divisions. You should know that the advanced fighters of the coalition alone are 900. Even if more than 100 have been destroyed by long-range missiles, there are at least 8 aircraft divisions! Of course, it is precisely because of this that the United States did not participate in advance, so they have the strategic intention to contain most of China's troops and let these countries rush forward and finally defeat China! However, the Chinese Air Force became more and more brave. After a series of air battles, it actually achieved her world reputation. With a very low loss (96 aircraft), it exchanged an incredible casualty ratio of 682 of the coalition aircraft. Among them, only one aviation division has achieved 412 aircraft, and only two aviation regiments have achieved 237 aircraft. The record, even the record of just one flight regiment, exceeds the whole coalition!

However, politics is far less straightforward than military. War can be said to be fought. An air battle is more than ten minutes or dozens of minutes, but politics often takes a long time. The battle between the two countries in the middle of the last century has been fought for nearly three years!

The sudden outbreak of the Southeast Asian War after the economic crisis has had a great impact on the starting world economy. From the tension in the Far East to the outbreak of the war, the war continued. The world economy, which has just emerged from suffering, has suffered from bursts of severe pain. The Wall Street stock market has fluctuated many times in a row. When She was shocked when the Southeast Asian war broke out, and the Chinese record was remarkable... Even the European stock market, which was far away from the war, fluctuated sharply.

The impact of the war on the world is manifold. Because China is a directly involved country, military control has been implemented in some regions, and some industries have launched a certain wartime production system. The production of military enterprises has been significantly accelerated, and the procurement of military equipment and weapons has been significantly accelerated... The economies of the participating countries in Southeast Asia have not eased. Over there, it has been more embargoed and direct military strikes. Although civilian facilities are not the focus of the bombing and have basically not been affected, most of the military-accessible infrastructure has been taken care of, such as the large-scale and long-term interruption of power systems and communication systems in most countries... The military production of the United States is also clear. Although the wartime production system has not yet started, India's military production has also improved a lot, although it has basically stagnated, and other countries have been more or less affected. What attracts more attention than these domestic impacts is the mutual blockade and embargo between some countries, as well as the freezing of some companies and enterprises, which have a bad impact on the development of those related enterprises.

Relatively speaking, the European economy is less affected by the war, Russia is similar, and South American and African countries are also relatively light. The countries in the region are the most affected, especially those countries participating in the war and countries with ambiguous attitudes. For example, in Singapore, the impact of the war on her is very serious. Among the most important maritime traffic routes in the world, the Strait of Malacca is absolutely at the forefront, and there are countless sea ships passing through every month. However, since the outbreak of the war, this strait has basically lost its channel function. At the same time, this country, which is mainly engaged in trade, It has almost stopped. Because she is in the war zone, several air battles have been carried out within hundreds of kilometers around her, and people can almost feel the roar of fighters in the distance. On the other hand, her investment abroad is also affected, especially within ASEAN, which is almost all stagnant. Even if it is outside the region, the situation is relatively delicate. Of course, because it is a neutral small country, there is no country to embarrass her, and the impact is not absolute. According to the analysis of experts, the countries that have been seriously affected in the whole world are the five countries of the Southeast Asian military alliance, and some small countries in the war zone, China, Japan, the United States and India. Specifically, these countries have a certain background and advantages and disadvantages.

The economies of the five Southeast Asian countries have been deeply affected by the economic crisis. They have not recovered themselves. In addition, domestic production has basically stagnated, and only investment in other regions can make appropriate production. Of course, this does not include investment in China. All their assets and industries in China have been frozen. Come on. Although most countries have not implemented a complete embargo, but only imposed an embargo on war materials, even so, the foreign trade of these countries has basically stopped. The products outside cannot come in, and the products they produce cannot be sold, because the war is still unclear, and China is a powerful country, not Every country is willing to take the risk of offending China. In the eyes of most countries, the importance of China is not comparable to them at all. Therefore, they are the most damaged countries.

Other ASEAN countries are another situation. All countries in the world are looking for their own spokespersons in the region. The situation in the whole region is extremely complicated. Among those countries, the most powerful are China, the United States, Japan, India and Australia. However, no matter who supports these countries are, they in the war zone will inevitably be seriously affected. For example, Cambodia is considered to be a traditional pro-China country, but it is Vietnam on the left and Thailand on the right. The situation is relatively awkward. Although it finally adopted a neutral policy, the country's economy has not been better, and trade with foreign countries is basically stagnant. Except for some trade with Laos, it is basically isolated. . Laos, another traditional pro-China country, simply chose to support China and allowed China to use its domestic military facilities. In fact, it was in a state of war, but neither Thailand nor Vietnam attacked her. In this state, not to mention the economic recovery, but the domestic economy because It's better to be supported by China, at least better than Vietnam. Among other countries, the least affected is Myanmar, which has a relatively large land area and is on the edge of the war zone. At the same time, it has good relations with China, the most powerful force in the region, and is even regarded as a partner country of China. It is a country that can directly support China at a critical moment. But no matter which country is in the war zone and in the center of the world's power competition, the domestic economy has inevitably been deeply affected. Of course, most of the benefits have nothing to do with them!

China's economy is the first to be affected by the war. What's more, the situation is unstable on all sides, and international trade is basically interrupted. Even with three countries such as neighboring Myanmar, it has greatly shrunk. However, the land trade with Central Asia and Russia's land, land and air trade have basically not been affected. In addition, to Japan Trade with South Korea and North Korea has been strengthened to some extent. The most serious thing is that maritime trade with Europe is almost interrupted, because the waterways have been cut off by Southeast Asian countries and the United States. Only the Eurasian Continental Bridge can still operate normally, and the air transportation industry in the north has seen a stimulating growth. Due to the inability to go abroad, the competition between domestic enterprises and international companies is also more fierce. However, due to the influence of the "Battle of the Far East", in the case of an extremely serious nationalist atmosphere, the advantages are more obvious. Even Japanese enterprises dare not take it lightly! Generally speaking, war will have a certain effect on the economy. All non-local wars have greatly stimulated domestic production. Due to the international embargo on war materials, some domestic companies have obtained a large number of government purchase orders, and this time is no exception. In this regard, the impact of war is basically good. Sexual. In particular, the front line has won several key victories in a row, forcing "India to retreat". Japan's dead heart and the Americans are "indecisive", which has played a great stimulating role in the domestic economy. Various economic indicators have risen rapidly, and the domestic unemployment rate has continued to decline... The enthusiasm of enterprise production has increased unprecedentedly, and it has Greater market advantage in any previous period!

In addition to China, the countries seriously affected by the war are the two countries in East Asia, represented by Japan. Previously, the three-country enterprises competed for each other in mainland China and never stopped. However, for some reason, the enterprises of the two countries relaxed the competition for the Chinese market. However, the war not only limited their market position in China, but also interrupted their trade with Southeast Asian countries, including India and other Middle Eastern countries. The waterway is not smooth, and no one wants to pass through the South China Sea, which makes the connection with Europe basically interrupted. Of course, investment in foreign countries is not limited, but it is found that investment in India is not smooth. Relatively speaking, Japanese companies are better than China. China has got part of the European market, but Japan has got all the North American market. At the same time, due to some consequences of the Battle of the Far East, Japanese companies have also put great pressure on their European and American counterparts. It can be said that the Southeast Asian War caused Japan to shift its focus from China to North America and was driven by the Chinese to launch another battle against the United States! The short-term impact is not obvious, but with the continuation of time, North American companies are under more and more pressure, marveling the "old appearance of the Japanese, and lamenting the "harmful" of the Far East War. In fact, the Southeast Asian war saved European and American enterprises. Imagine that it is more terrible when they fight from China to Far East companies around the world, especially in the European and American markets, and if they make some kind of alliance, the situation of European and American counterparts will be more precarious!
