Chapter 25: The War and the Battle
On January 15, 1921, the Allied Air Force launched air raids on many cities in the United States from Canada and Mexico, and the whole United States was boiling!
The streets and alleys were filled with demonstrators, holding up signs demanding that the Wilson government stop the war and be investigated by the League of Nations, that there is no need for the United States of America to be buried by the consortium behind the scenes!
In fact, not a single bomb was dropped in the air raid on the United States, but a "Letter to the American People" drafted by the League of Nations was just dropped.
"Dear Americans, you may not be interested in the League of Nations, but unfortunately we are still here, and today we have bad news for you - the war has begun!
If you cherish life, please stay away from cities, stations, docks, factories, especially the American people in coastal or border cities, the war is really coming, and it is too late for you to leave!
Cannonballs don't have eyes, you don't have to die for an anti-human corporate government, your life is your own, and the United States of America is!
That's right, the main culprits that triggered this war are the U.S. government headed by Wilson and the U.S. consortium that conducts biochemical research behind the scenes.
A virus leak has killed 100 million of our fellow human beings around the world, which is about the same number as the entire population of the United States, and I think anyone who receives the news will be furious!
However, when the League of Nations tracked down the murderer, it was strongly hindered by the US government, and before the investigation team arrived in the United States, all those who knew about it were silenced!
Our investigation has just begun, and there are many surprises, who is behind the scenes?
American-government, since you have taken our patience as weakness, do you not want war to fulfill you? Now the wish has been granted, and the war is coming!
All of humanity has declared war on your wicked government, and since the dawn of humanity you are the only one who can make all the nations of the world join in declaring war on you!
Aren't you proud? If you want to die, please don't pull the American people together, they are innocent!
Well, I know that this is all in vain, and if the Wilson administration really knew this, it would not have devoted itself to preparing for war after the events of 1918 were exposed!
In just three years, the US military has expanded by a hundredfold, and the American people who blindly obey you, you have been dragged down by this dictatorial government!
Now all you can do is stay away, this is not your war, it has nothing to do with you!
Even if you have already enlisted, it doesn't matter, you surrender when the war starts, don't worry, all the countries in the world are coming, here is your mother country, so don't worry about your life, and even those who surrender voluntarily will not be treated as prisoners of war!
Again, I remind you to be fast, if the fight starts, no one can guarantee it!
……”
As long as you are a normal person, there is nothing you don't worry about, as for the defense of the United States of America? Haven't you heard?
"The country is a consortium, and life is one's own!"
Why do you want them to die? What does it mean that all the nations of humanity are coming?
The United States is a country of immigrants, and everyone has a home country, so can they work hard for the consortium and the mother country?
And the damn Wilson administration, 100 million people have died in the world, more than 3.8 million people have died in the United States, and you still have to protect the consortium, it's just ......
In short, such a dictatorial government must step down, be replaced by a sane government, and then negotiate with the League of Nations, and the big deal is to hand over the murderer!
Anyway, the consortium is not a good product, and if you hand it all over, let the League of Nations investigate it slowly, and if you find the murderer, we will tear them up too!
……
The war broke out, Wilson's hair has recently fallen out a lot, and he admits that the current United States is indeed very strong, and in a few years it can compete with the British Empire, but he definitely has no idea of single-handedly taking on the whole world!
What tracks down the murderer? These are just deceiving those ignorant people, and at this point, can it really be done by handing over a few murderers?
Without enough benefits, how can countries be allowed to let go? If it is a little interest, even if it is a compensation for land cession, they all admit it!
Unfortunately, this time the enemy came with the aim of destroying the United States of America and restoring the interests of all countries in the Americas!
Expand the army a hundredfold in three years, Wilson doesn't even want to explain, the war has broken out, don't you want me to expand the army?
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a panic: "Mr. President, we are in big trouble, the recruitment process is not going well everywhere, many federal states are resisting this war, and now they are plotting, I am afraid that they will declare neutrality or even independence in this war!" ”
Wilson rubbed his forehead, the worst happened, under the pressure of the outside world, the United States of America, which was already not cohesive, has now reached the point of falling apart!
"Order the War Department to take the necessary means to take tough measures against these states that violate the federal government!" Wilson said coldly
Rice smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. President, I'm afraid this will not work, this is against the federal constitution, and now each state needs a different number of militias, if they choose to resist, the enemy will break out before our civil war comes!" ”
Since there was no World War I, the U.S. Army had no right to enter the states directly, and without the consent of the state governments, they could consider it an invasion!
That's right, the entry of the US Army into the territory of the United States is also an invasion!
This is nothing, some states are unhappy with the president, and they can also list the president as persona non grata and prohibit the president from stepping into the state!
Of course, the Secretary of State still has one thing that he did not say, that is, the US Army has always been raised by the mother, and if it really starts, I am afraid it will not be the opponent of the state militias!
Once it makes a move, and loses the fight, it is estimated that there is no need to wait for the League of Nations to fight, and the United States will automatically complete the defeat!
Proud of the unique political system of the United States, after the Wilson administration announced the national mobilization, the total strength of the United States has now reached more than 3 million, but it is a pity that the army can actually control less than 1 million troops!
The other troops, naturally, are in the hands of the federal states, and if these states support the federal government, the War Department can naturally command these armies, and if these states do not support the federal government, then these troops can refuse all orders from the army!
Wilson roared angrily: "What about the consortium? Are they still not willing to fully support the government? Once the United States is defeated, will they, the culprits, still want to run away? ”
Rice smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. President, in the past two or three years, many consortia have secretly transferred some of their assets out, so ......"
Wilson said angrily: "Haven't all these properties been confiscated by the governments? Weren't Morgan and Locke very angry some time ago and wanted to support the government in this battle?
Won't they be able to subdue the state government? When has the strength of the American consortium been weakened so much all at once? ”
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice shook her head and said, "Mr. President, I think this issue is not something we can discuss, and if the interests are suitable, it doesn't matter to them whether the United States of America exists or not!"
In fact, there is also controversy within the party about whether or not to fight this war, including myself, who believes that there is no objection to this war, and if it can, in fact, it is not impossible to surrender! ”
Wilson's anger can no longer be suppressed, the good guy war has not yet begun, the secretary of state is clamoring for surrender, if this spreads, will not explode outside?
"Bastard, do you know what happens once you surrender? The United States of America will cease to exist, and the hundred years of hard work of our ancestors will be wasted! ”
Rice said-for-tat: "That's better than dragging everyone to death?" My Mr. President, how much are you hiding from us?
What exactly do you want to do? Don't you feel guilty that the United States of America has come to this point?
Beginning with the Navy Act of 1916, the United States began to constantly challenge the world hegemony of the British Empire. That's it, although the British Empire is powerful, it is only an enemy, and we can still deal with it!
What's next? As soon as the world war ended, you went to Europe to make trouble, and most of the countries in Europe were offended!
Do you think that the situation that is happening now has nothing to do with these things?
If it weren't for the fucking fourteen you came up with, how could Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary, the Russian Empire, the French Republic, and the rest of us be mortal enemies?
There is no contradiction, no conflict of interest, just for the sake of your world concept, you have provoked so many enemies for the United States, is your brain in water?
Now you get the idea, right? The seeds of hatred were planted as early as 1917, and after the proclamation of your Fourteen Articles, colonial rebels in various countries became active, and you were still proud of yourself, calling yourself a savior!
As soon as the flu virus broke out, the world's public opinion immediately locked on the United States, don't you understand? They are taking revenge, revenge for the colonial rebellion we instigated earlier!
Why can the British respond to every call? In addition to Japan, Bulgaria, the French Republic, Austria-Hungary, and the Russian Empire do not have such a strong conflict of interests with us, so why would they go all out?
Don't forget, what we guessed earlier is that Britain and Japan joined forces to declare war on the United States of America!
What now? Worldwide! ”
Faced with the duties of the Secretary of State, Wilson was speechless, on the surface, it seemed that these things had something to do with him!
If it weren't for the series of stupid tricks in front of it, which pulled so many hatred points, there would be no reason in the back, the League of Nations was established so quickly, and it also pulled all the countries of the world into it!
Obviously, this is not a country that has this ability, even the British Empire, it is impossible to do it!
In addition to the public anger of the Americans this time, there is another core reason, that is, enemies are all over the world! There is revenge, there is revenge, there is resentment and complaining!
Whether it's true or not, Secretary of State Rice thinks that's the main reason anyway!
There is also the fact that no matter how this war is fought, the United States is a defeated country, and the enemy is the whole world, so even if it wins militarily, it will be a loser!
Besides, if you can't win, how should you arrange it militarily? The two fleets of the League of Nations have come over with such a big grin, the navies of the American countries have not yet joined, and the American Navy has been split in two!
The Panama Canal is no longer safe, the US Navy does not dare to enter it, in case it just enters, the enemy only needs to block it at both ends, and they will be finished!
Although the probability is very small, after the birth of the Air Force, this situation has been unavoidable, and the American troops deployed in Panama have already asked for help from home, and the distance between the coalition forces and the canal is already less than one or fifty kilometers!
The navies of the South American countries have begun to assemble, they may not be the opponent of the US Navy, but it is still possible to fight on the canal, no matter whether they win or lose, as long as they sink the warship into the river, they will win!
Loss? Britain, France, and Bulgaria have already promised them, do it boldly, and the loss of warships will be ours!
There is no way to win a war, naturally no one will like it, in terms of tonnage, the coalition forces are almost four times that of the US Navy, even if it is one or two, that is twice as much!
This disadvantage is big enough, and if it is divided into two, everyone really doesn't know how to fight this battle?
……
The biggest problem of the American army right now is not that there are no soldiers, but that there are not enough generals!
That's right, there are no generals, and there is a large shortage of grassroots officers, and even before the outbreak of the world war, the US Army once had no active generals, and the highest was only a brigadier general!
A very fucked-up situation has arisen, the highest-ranking officer, who is only a division commander, suddenly let them command a million troops, and all of them are still in a state of chaos now, and they can't figure it out for a short time!
It is precisely because we know so much that all the anti-war forces within the US government are now unprecedentedly strong!
If Wilson hadn't activated the emergency bill in time of war for Congress to discuss, the chance of them surrendering directly was more than 70 percent, and there was a 29 percent chance of surrendering after a symbolic sign of resistance.
After a moment of silence, Wilson suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Well, even if these are my responsibility, but now the enemy has attacked, and their purpose is to destroy the United States of America!"
What can we do? This war has already had to be fought! Of course, there is also the option to surrender, but that is the worst option, we will lose everything!
The federal government is about to be dismembered, many of our federal states are going to be colonized again, and even the remaining territories will have to pay huge war reparations and pensions from this epidemic!
Our people will always struggle to pay off their debts, and they will still be for generations, and they will never be able to pay them off!
There will be no future for this country and there will be no hope in sight! Listen to me, fight a battle, even if it fails, let the enemy see our strength!
