Coalition of Asian State naval forces were content to lay back and guard the
sea lanes to their Australian staging areas as their ground forces continued
to make progress in the southeast and as they consolidated their positions
throughout the continent. The result were several sharp but minor naval
engagements, but no decisive battle. As February, 2008, approached its end,
Admiral Ryan was preparing a bold plan to force that issue.
Elsewhere in the western Pacific and Asia, the Coalition of Asian States
reigned. All nations had fallen before them from Japan across the ocean and
across Asia to the other side of India. The line of advance in the Pacific
itself extended well out towards Wake Island and encompassed all of the
Solomon Islands down to the southeast coast of Australia. There was still
guerilla warfare being waged in areas of the
Philippines, in Thailand and behind the lines in Australia, but without
support and re-supply, the efforts, while bothersome to the local garrisons of
CAS troops, were inconsequential to the larger effort.
Lu Pham, the research and development genius responsible for the Chinese LRASD
weaponry, and his family enjoyed relative peace, outside of only occasional
air raids by allied aircraft and cruise missiles. Lu
Pham s team of engineers continued to produce innovative advances for the
LRASD weaponry that blunted allied attempts to negate the tremendous advantage
these weapons were giving CAS and GIR
forces. These new innovations were immediately tested and deployed upon the
literally hundreds of conversion ships that the Chinese continued to build. Lu
Pham s good friend, Sung Hsu, continued to rise in prominence in the military
shipbuilding industry and was contributing extensively to the manufacturing
innovations that were allowing the Chinese, through their large shipbuilding
conglomerate, COSCO, to meet the war demands of their nation. Hundreds of
Chinese ships, with thousands of the latest revisions of the LRASD, Killer
Whale weaponry, continued to be one of the key factors allowing the CAS and
GIR to continue their expansion without fear of the overwhelming technical
advantages that the U.S.
Navy and her allies could otherwise bring to bear.
However, the latest American innovations in the form of the Submerged Threat
Close in Weapons
System (SUBT CIWS) was about to make its debut in the Pacific Ocean. The
U.S.S. Shanksville had taken longer to finish its shakedown and trials because
of several problems with some of its new systems.
Some of those problems included timing and effectiveness of the CSUBT CIWS.
But the American developers and weapons engineers believed they had corrected
those issues and the Shanksville along with several escorts employing the same
defenses would be entering combat theaters of operation in
March and April. Soon thereafter, increasing numbers of retrofitted ships
would also be coming out of dry docks throughout the CONUS and from the larger
repair and dry-dock facilities in the various theaters of operations.
At the end of February 2008, the only areas free of the CAS rule in all of the
western Pacific and Asia were those areas of Russia and Siberia that had
entered into the economic pact with the CAS and the
GIR to exploit Siberian resources. This arrangement had proven immensely
profitable to Russia and critical to the war effort for the CAS and GIR. Now,
as the Spring of 2008 approached, the continuation of Phase II of the CAS war
plan entitled Hung-Lu-Dong turned its attention to the north in preparation
for the even more ambitious Phase III, as Jien Zenim had long since envisioned
and planned.

through the opening days of
2008 according to the Imam Hasan Sayeed s overall direction as implemented
ably by his theater CINC, General Talabari. Outside of an area bounded by
southern Lebanon to the Golan Heights, extending on the east side of Jordan
down past the Dead Sea to the Red Sea and then encompassing the entire Sinai
peninsula over to positions along the now closed Suez Canal, the entire Middle
East was controlled by the GIR. GIR forces continued to flood into those areas
surrounding Israel in preparation for what everyone knew would certainly be
one of the most intense, concentrated and viscous battle in history. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
