In many people's eyes, Du Qiwei is the most qualified and the only military commander who can challenge Pei Chengyi. This view is not unreasonable, for example, in the face of the same problem, Du Qiwei's decision-making is often the same as Pei Chengyi's, at least in the overall direction will not be much different. Other military commanders may use the strategic advantage of the United States in the Pacific Rim to solve the problems in the Pacific battlefield in a very direct way. There is nothing wrong with this, after all, it is not the Republic but the United States that places military bases on the other side's doorstep. In any case, the strategic advantage of the United States in the Pacific is very obvious. Apart from anything else, the Philippines is only a few hundred kilometers from the mainland of the Republic and nearly 20,000 kilometers from the mainland of the United States. Even if we take a step back, Guam is only more than 2,000 kilometers from the Republic mainland, but more than 10000 kilometers from the United States mainland. That is to say, from the western Pacific Ocean to the western coast of the North American continent, almost the entire Pacific Ocean is the defense barrier of the United States. Even to the Hawaiian Islands,<a href="https://www.forustone.com/">white marble mosaic</a>, the strategic defense depth of the United States is tens of thousands of kilometers. The great depth of defense also meant that the assault distance was shorter, and the heavy air control fighters of the U.S. Air Force could attack the southeastern part of the Republic without refueling in the air after taking off from Guam. Even if they retreat to the Hawaiian Islands, the US strategic bombers can complete the strategic strike mission within two hours. More importantly, in the Southwest Pacific, the United States can rely on the Australian continent, go north to compete with the Republic for Southeast Asia,<a href="https://www.forustone.com/slate/slate-wall-panels/">Slate Wall Panel</a>, or go west to harass the North Indian Ocean route on which the Republic depends. For the Republic, in addition to keeping a close eye on the strategic defense line at the eastern gate of the mainland, it can only move eastward step by step. If it wants to attack the United States, it has to cross the entire Pacific Ocean, and before that, in order to consolidate the flank defense line, it has to go south to occupy the Australian continent. In a word, the strategic advantage of the United States is not a little bit. From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why yuan Chenhao advocated focusing on the mainland battlefield and competing eastward with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific after defeating Russia. In the final analysis, it is difficult for the Republic to win in the Pacific battlefield without a solid foundation. From yuan Chenhao's standpoint, this war will be a difficult and protracted war. Judging from the situation after the war, <a href="https://www.forustone.com/marble/hot-sell-marble/polished-grey-marble-slab-pietra-gray-armani.html">Grey Marble Slab</a> ,<a href="https://www.forustone.com/marble/marble-slabs/carrara-marble-slab.html">Carrara Marble Slab</a>, even if the Republic can defeat Russia in a relatively short period of time, such as capturing Moscow within one year, mopping up other parts of Russia in half a year, or forcing the European Union to join the war before that, shortening the duration of the continental war, the United States can complete the war mobilization and consolidate the strategic defense line before that. That is to say, when Russia is defeated and then marches into the Pacific to compete with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific, the Republic is bound to face a fully armed United States, which is the most difficult to defeat. Strategically speaking, the Republic has a much greater chance of winning a protracted war than the United States, and as a challenger, the Republic has to be strategically prepared to fight a protracted war from the very beginning to bring down the United States by attrition. But a protracted war is bound to overshadow the victory and even deprive the Victor of any benefit from the war. It is clear that Pei Chengyi does not want to fight a protracted war with the United States. The early start of the Pacific War will certainly test the Republic's ability to mobilize for war and its ability to withstand war, but at the same time, it will also put the greatest pressure on the United States and win a decisive victory before the United States completes its mobilization for war, forcing the United States to admit defeat in the Pacific. Even if the United States will not easily admit defeat, it can greatly shorten the duration of the Pacific War after the initial victory, so as to win at the lowest cost and ultimately maximize the benefits of the war. It can be seen that this is also the difference between a politician and a military strategist. Looking back on history, we can find that Pei Chengyi's choice is almost exactly the same as that made by President Roosevelt more than 100 years ago. At that time, the United States declared war on Japan in the name of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and declared war on Germany only after Germany declared war on the United States as an ally of Japan. Morally speaking, the number one enemy of the United States was Japan, not Germany on the European continent. The problem was that after entering the war, Roosevelt adopted the strategic plan of "Europe before Asia" put forward by Marshall, Chief of General Staff of the Army, and took defeating Germany as the number one task. This time, Pei Chengyi's choice is almost exactly the same, that is, after Russia invaded Kazakhstan and took the lead in launching an attack, the Republic declared war on Russia in the name of counterattack, and then the United States declared war on the Republic in the name of Russia's allies. Pei Chengyi immediately seized the opportunity to clarify the strategy of "first sea, then land", that is, to regard the United States as the number one target. Russia is a secondary target. There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi has already completed the role transformation from a soldier to a politician. There is no denying that before that, Dudgeway also completed the same role transformation. When examining the war, Du Qiwei's position is the same as Pei Chengyi's, that is, to look at the war from the perspective of a politician. In this way,<a href="https://www.forustone.com/artificial-marble/supersize-ceramic-slabs/porcelain-marble-slabs.html">Porcelain Marble Slabs</a>, it is impossible for Du Qiwei to "solve the problems in the Pacific Ocean in the way of the Pacific Ocean" like a military strategist. From a political point of view, the first thing Dutchway thought of was to contain the Republic in other directions. As the president of the United States, Dugway could not have known that the United States was far less powerful in war than the Republic. <a href="https://www.forustone.com/marble/hot-sell-marble/polished-grey-marble-slab-pietra-gray-armani.html">forustone.com</a>
