In the next year, scientists note just how fat Pacific sharks are.
Also, where will they get this 3-million-man army? China's downsizing their military from 2 million to 1 million (because they can't afford a BIG army and a GOOD army at the same time). Additionally, the Chinese military has a critical role in Chinese domestic security (i.e., in putting down unrest before it becomes revolt). Stripping the homeland to support foreign adventures practically invites the citizenry to overthrow the ChiCom government, which doesn't have an infinitely deep pool of trained manpower.
U.S. forces put up a strong defence but are overwhelmed by superior numbers, not military force or technology..
How? You haven't explained how the Chinese actually get ashore in the Western Hemisphere. Access to the world ocean is solely with the sufferance of the United States Navy.
Most of China's Naval forces are destroyed.
Try "all of them are destroyed."
China is undettered. Every available sea-going vessel is packed with soldiers, weapons and ammunition.. Destination: Western Central America,Mexico, America,Canada, Alaska..
Actual destination: bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Some American Naval forces remain, but are ordered to retreat in order to defend the western U.S. shoreline..
And the ChiCom invasion fleet gets sunk in the Pacific.
Navies exist to protect shipping. Without any naval force in the Western Hemisphere, the Chinese invasion fleet dies before hitting the coast. Look at the size of the Pacific Basin--a ChiCom invasion fleet would be sailing literally halfway around the world!
Just out of curiousity: When did "stunning ignorance of reality" become an "opinion" worthy of respect?
Can you say civilian draft?
China won't send it's entire military force.. They will send just enough to control large groups of draftees..
They will simply grab civilians off the streets and ship them over.. hand them a rifle, ammo, and some rice, and point them in the direction they want them to go..
This solves the problem of how to control the population as well.. anyone that isn't "certified" loyal is just gun fodder..
You haven't explained how the Chinese actually get ashore in the Western Hemisphere.
I thought I was being plain enough without going into great detail..
Regardless of what U.S. Naval forces are in the pacific theatre, it's logical to assume massive losses..
China's navy doesn't consist of a bunch of Sampans you know.. They have nuclear subs, aircraft carriers, destroyers, an air force, ... all the stuff the U.S. Navy has, some home-built, some made by the russians..
Add to that whatever North Korea can supply.
We might have to deal with confiscated Naval military hardware from Japan and Taiwan, as well as any naval/military ships etc. "conscripted" in Chinese ports of influence, like Hong Kong, Singapore, and so on.. regardless of the nation that owned them..
Even if U.S. forces are exceptionally lucky, we would suffer serious losses...
We might completely destroy the Chinese/Korean naval forces, but only at great cost..
Whatever would be left would be necessarilly used for defending our own shores..
Navies exist to protect shipping. Without any naval force in the Western Hemisphere, the Chinese invasion fleet dies before hitting the coast.
Firstly, the U.S. Navy has to still exist in order to control the Pacific..
I think I have already made a pretty good argument that that won't necessarilly be the case...
As for "stunning ignorance", let's just say active imagination..
Also, I have some "respect" for the enemy..
You obviously have none.. You apparently think the Chinese military consists of a few "coolies" in rice boats, armed with pitchforks..
Don't forget, The former Soviet Union never had the guts to take on China one on one.. (and that's been a few years, before China's "industrial revolution".. )
China is a serious opponent. It is one of the 2 greatest threats america has to face in the next 50 years..
( the other is Islamic terrorism )
Secondly, you have totally, completely, discounted ignored, or are ignorant of China's commercial shipping industry
The Chinese have super-ships, not just tankers..
COSCO possesses ships that come into harbor and load up on raw timber.. then completely mill, kiln-dry, saw into lumber, and in some cases, manufacture goods like furniture, all while at sea, during the return voyage..
Virtual floating cities/manufacturing plants..
Those non-military ships can be converted/used to transport troops.. even give them basic military training during the voyage..
No need to bother the navy with such mundane tasks as troop transport..
Take the time to read up on China, then reconsider..
And remember, if we are involved in actions in Europe, fighting militant Islam, where are at least HALF our military going to be??
Not in the pacific theatre my freind..
