Japan has just pulled its missiles into position! The war hadn't fought yet: the U.S. general told Japan bad news
The U.S. military may not be able to reinforce Japan
On the Japanese side, it began to pull the Type 03 medium-range missile to Yonaguni Island and the Type 12 anti-ship missile to Ishitsune Island. Japan's plan is for Japan to set up a highly armed "chain of fortresses" missile strike area on the front of the Ryukyu Islands, which can directly intervene by force. At the same time, cover the main force of the US military to enter the battlefield.
However, Japan has just begun to deploy missile systems when it ushered in bad news. After the incident, the U.S. military may no longer have the ability to reinforce Japan.
US War Minister Admiral Darryl Caudle told the Japanese that now, our country's shipyards have a huge advantage in terms of production capacity. The annual output of our country's large state-owned enterprise group exceeds the total output of the entire U.S. shipbuilding industry for many years. The U.S. Navy believes that our country's navy is surpassing the United States in size and continues to grow.
The U.S. Navy has not been able to build a single frigate for several years. The U.S. Constellation-class frigate began to launch in March 2022, and as a result, by 2025, the United States will not even have one Constellation-class frigate completed. Moreover, the completion of the first Constellation-class frigate will be delayed until 2027.
The point is that the entire cost has skyrocketed! The U.S. plan is that after the start of batch construction, the Constellation-class frigates will cost about $900 million, and the cost of the first ship will reach $1.6 billion, and the key is that the cost price continues to grow. The United States invested $4 billion, and in a few years, not a single ship was built.
How is this fighting? The U.S. Congress reported that the U.S. Navy aims to maintain at least 355 warships. But by 2025, the total number of U.S. Navy ships will be less than 300. The number of warships in the U.S. Navy is still declining.
U.S. factories cannot build Columbia-class nuclear submarines, Virginia-class nuclear submarines, Constellation-class frigates, and key amphibious ships and logistics ships. So, once the decisive battle in the Asia-Pacific region breaks out, what will the US military use to reinforce Japan, intervene by force, and go to the decisive battle in the Western Pacific?
The U.S. Navy has become a one-time fleet, losing one warship, which cannot be replenished for many years. The United States has 13 Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers with 1,586 vertical missile launch systems.
But by 2027, the United States will not have a single missile cruiser, and the cruiser missile vertical launch system will be zero. What about us? By 2017, there will be at least 12-16 cruiser-class Type 055 large missile destroyers.
In terms of overall numbers, the U.S. Navy requires 77 active ships to be retired (and decommissioned) from 2023 to 2027, and only 51 ships will be purchased during the same period. But this is just a plan, and American shipyards cannot build 51 warships at all.
Therefore, the United States will encourage Japan to deploy missiles in the Ryukyu Islands and the Philippines to deploy medium-range missiles on Luzon. At that time, Japan and the Philippines will be used as proxy armaments and will be beaten by us on the front line.
The US military general told Japan bad news
Of course, the same is true for Japan, which on the surface has been locked by the iron chains of the United States and cannot exert its military capabilities. In fact, the American iron lock has become a fig leaf for Japan.
Japan can deploy to three divisions in the southwest, and all the force it can dispatch to interfere with ground troops is possible. The strength is not as good as the Ukrainian army in the Red Army City.
American shipyards can no longer count on it, there is a lack of skilled and skilled labor, the shipbuilding infrastructure is aging, and the industrial supply chain has long been broken. The project management ability is even more terrifying.
US War Secretary Admiral Daryl Caudle has already begun visits to shipyards in Japan and South Korea. Caudle publicly praised the scale and efficiency of Japanese shipyards and warned that our high speed of shipbuilding requires that the United States and Japan must not delay anything. We must cooperate to launch more ships.
The U.S. Navy really couldn't hold on and was ready to ask Japanese and South Korean shipyards to build warships for the U.S. military. In Japan and South Korea, the hulls of Aegis-class destroyers, Constellation-class frigates are manufactured. Finally, on the mainland United States, weapon systems, electronic warfare systems and other equipment are installed.
The United States is no longer the world's largest industrial power that can produce thousands of ships and transport ships in a few years.
Now, the United States can't even maintain the size of its navy, and now it has begun to ask Japan and South Korea to help build ships. What else to fight a sea battle in the West Pacific?
According to U.S. analysis, for every year delayed in U.S.-made warships, the U.S. military's combat capability in the Asia-Pacific region declines. The US military does not have enough amphibious ships, frigates, transport ships and tankers. There is no way to fight a distributed combat operation on the first island chain and the second island chain. Then, the initiative will be given to us!
