War: United States (Pro) vs. Selected Country (Con)

FURTHER DEFENSES OF BEIJING, JINAN, SHENYANG, AND GUANGZHOUMy opponent refuses to acknowledge the effect of China's abrupt ending of trade with the US. Timothy J. Kehoe, Kim J. Ruhl, and Joseph B. Steinberg report that "During a sudden stop [of Chinese funding], the US interest rate would jump from 2.9 percent in 2014 to 5.5 percent in 2015.... A sudden stop would cause a sharp contraction in construction output and employment, even more severe than during the collapse of the recent US boom" They also reported that "U.S households would suffer a real income loss of $330 billion (1992 USD), 5.2 percent of 1992 U.S. GDP, compared with a scenario in which the saving glut had never occurred. That is, the total cost of disorderly sudden stop would be 16.1 percent of 1992 U.S GDP, or over $1 trillion ($689 billion plus $330 billion)" [1]. Obviously this would be enormously detrimental to the US economy. If the US declares war on China the economy will crash, national unity will plummet, and the US would not be able to continue a war for any time longer than a year. China, on the other hand, would be more than willing to continue a long military campaign against any nation. Their industry is enormous, their national unity is high, and their military is strong. There is no way that the US would be able to win this war. This is a clear example of how the battles of a war are not always the most important aspect of a war. Now that about a year has passed in this epic war, China would have produced about 120,000 AFV's and and 100,000 aircraft. The military is now about even with the US army stationed in China. Therefore the battles will last longer and the US will be unable to win a concise victory, and by extension, win the war. Let's get back to the specifics. DEFENSE OF BEIJING CONTINUEDTrue, we will eventually lose the Battle of Pinggu, however given that the Chinese are dug in well it is sure that the battle will last for a while. This will give me sufficient time to send 400,000 troops from the Battle of We'nan back to Beijing. I will also place 40,000 AFV's in the capital for further defense. Even after winning the Battle of Pinggu there is no way that the now 700,000 US troops will be able to take Beijing. As for the 300,000 stationary reinforcements, I will place 20,000 aircraft in surrounding air bases and proceed to bomb those troops. Given that the US only has 3,500 aircraft, and no anti aircraft installations, the bombings should be relatively uncontested. DEFENSE OF JINAN CONTINUEDWith my massive increase of military supplies, I will now place 40,000 AFV's and 20,000 aircraft in the province. Now once again China has the advantage in AFV's, aircraft, and manpower. Therefore any US attack will be futile. I for now will not command any attack on the troops as I would like to wait to integrate my AFV's into the army first, however I will send my 20,000 aircraft to bomb the troops continually. DEFENSE OF SHENYANG CONTINUEDAs I have no land connection with Port Arthur, I will be unable to place more AFV's in the region. I will, however, send 20,000 more aircraft to the Dalian air base to protect the troops there from further bombings. With this new air cover the troops will be allowed to move on and regain the rest of the coast. We will not pursue the US troops, yet it is certain the troops will run out of supplies soon enough. DEFENSE OF GUANGZHOUI will now deploy another 40,000 AFV's (I am now out of AFV's to send) and 20,000 aircraft to the Guangzhou theatre. The now 440,000 troops will guard the shores and prevent any US amphibious invasion. This will essentially box the US on the Hainan island and prevent any further progress. The 20,000 aircraft will then proceed to bomb the island, similar to the Beijing and Jinan theatres. This map displays the scenario. Also notice that the naval base in Guangzhou is NOT on the island of Hainan, yet is in Zhanjiang on the mainland. Just would like to clarify that. Back over to you, now very concerned Mr. President!References: [1] http://www.forbes.com...
