After careful preparations, the 100,000 enthusiastic and high-spirited troops were transferred from the Houston front line to Oregon to make a detour to the rear of the 500,000 American troops facing the Columbia Valley. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

These troops are carefully selected, and the main components are local immigrant soldiers from the Americas, and many of the mountainous people in the Liangguang and Fujian regions recruited in China are Hakka people who are good at opening mountains.

The reason why these mountain people were singled out was that they were to attack from the mountains and cross the mountains to outflank the rear of the American troops in the river valley.

In the Columbia Valley, the two sides have been facing off for too long, and the US military deployed here as many as 780,000 troops at most, but because of the tense situation on other battlefields, after many transfers, only 500,000 remain. And the Ming army opposite them was always only about 300,000 people, and they had more than enough to defend but not enough to attack, so they could only confront each other.

When 100,000 people crossed the mountain range and appeared in the rear of the American army in the impression of the American army, it immediately made the main force of the American army in the river valley feel panicked, they were afraid of the Houston story, and did not dare to risk being surrounded, so they divided their troops to attack the Ming army that outflanked their rear road, and as a result, just 200,000 troops were divided, and the Ming army launched a fierce attack on the frontal battlefield.

The American troops, who had been facing each other for more than a year, were exhausted and had been hit by the defeat in Houston were routed under the sudden frontal onslaught, and as a result, the 500,000 American troops chose to surrender after failing to break through with a strong enemy in front and a siege in the rear.

The surrender of another 500,000 troops has made the whole world think that the US military power has reached the verge of collapse, and if it continues to fight, it may face the possibility of total collapse.

The pressure on the American negotiators and the U.S. government was even greater, and they had to face the fact that the southern and central parts of the United States had opened their arms to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army was able to advance into the Great Plains of the United States without hindrance. And they are really doing this, starting from the direction of Houston and the north to the center, Houston went north to conquer Dallas, and the Ming army in the direction of the Columbia Valley attacked along the river to the Snake River Plain, the big target of the two Ming armies is obviously the American army in Denver, and the cavalry continues to march out of the Grand Canyon, and the plan to contain the American army in Denver is obvious.

After weighing up, the U.S. government ordered the Denver defenders to retreat, genuinely fearing that a mass surrender would occur, and that the U.S. military had become a joke in the war, and that American politicians themselves had a serious lack of confidence in their own forces.

The defenders of Denver even retreated to Omaha for a time, relying on the Mississippi River to defend, and this time a large-scale retreat made the main American forces have been concentrated in the Mississippi River Valley, obviously they intend to use the vast Great Plains in the middle of the United States as a buffer to once again lengthen the communication line of the Ming army.

But the Ming army was not stupid, and they did not intend to continue eastward after entering Denver, which the United States had abandoned. Rather, it excludes a group of cavalry, gallops across the vast plains, liberates and contacts the Indian tribes, arms them, forms cavalry units, and then gallops together across the great plains.

They continued to blow up railroad bridges and tear down telegraph lines, causing the central region of the United States to rapidly degenerate into the age of barbarism. At the same time, Mongolian herders were sent to teach the Indians how to conduct nomadic herding on the steppes of the Great Plains, on the farms and pastures abandoned by white Americans.

The Ming army had discovered the adaptation of the Indians to the nomadic life, and they began to deliberately cultivate their nomadic habits, hoping that they could find their home in the central region of the United States, become a nomadic tribe galloping in the Great Plains, and thus become a long-term buffer force with the eastern United States, so that the Ming army could occupy the western United States for a long time. Obviously, the idea of the army is much simpler than that of the government, and they have paid bloody sacrifices in the hope of ceding the western part of the United States.

In the South, support for the black movement continued, and the black movement, which had rolled past from Mississippi, had expanded to Florida, and north to pre-Civil War black neighborhoods such as South Carolina and even Virginia.

The Ming occupation forces also got the government of the Second Confederate State of the United States of America to reach an agreement with the Mexican government to cede the area west of the Nusses River, including the port of Corpus, to Mexico in exchange for peace with Mexico. Although the Mexican government did not recognize the Second Union State, it was happy to recover the Mexican lands in these border areas, especially the American seaport cities such as Corpus, Laredo, and McCarron, which had a considerable economic basis.

Of course, the benefit of the Ming is that it can continue to use the port of Corpus, and at the same time, the Ming fleet has also sailed into the two Mexican cities of Macallan and Laredo, so that the shipbuilding facilities here can help repair, and the recovery speed of the navy has been greatly improved. But the chief of the navy fell ill, and he was more seriously ill.

In September, after two months of repeated negotiations, under the mediation of the British, the Ming and the United States reached a considerable agreement.

Basically, they are all agreed on the basis of the United States' concessions, for example, the United States agreed to the four billion Ming taels proposed by the Ming Dynasty, although this amount is huge, but compared to the United States' losses in the war, it is actually not a difficult amount to accept, as the world's largest economy, their financial capacity is stronger than the British Empire.

Thirty years ago, when the United States fought the Civil War, the total financial expenditure of the two sides was as high as more than $5 billion, of which the North spent $3.2 billion, and the South spent $2.1 billion.

After the Ming government met all the compensation claims, it gave up the restrictions on the military deployment of the United States in the west, and only required them not to deploy capital ships of more than 5,000 tons, which was also beneficial to the United Kingdom, and after the Ming got Hawaii, Britain also needed the United States to maintain military strength on the west coast to balance the Ming, so it was impossible for the United States to be disarmed on the west coast by the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of tariffs, the United States has also made considerable concessions, they decided to reduce the level of import tariffs on all goods to 30 percent, of course, this cannot be a special preference for the Ming Dynasty, but all goods from all countries, obviously the United States also knows that their high tariffs offend a lot of people, and they must open up their own interests to obtain support.

Then a treaty was signed, which stipulated that the Ming would withdraw all their troops from the United States only after they had received full indemnity payments, which the Americans did not even insist.

As soon as the treaty was signed, the financial consortium of Britain, France and Germany jointly underwrote a bond of $3 billion to the United States, and the money was soon transferred to the account of the Ming government. Then the Ming began to withdraw the first troops, that is, to withdraw the troops from Denver to the west of the Sierra Nevada, and return the entire Great Plains region to the United States.

Three months after the first tranche was issued, the Americans issued a second tranche, also three billion dollars, and after receiving the second tranche, the Ming began to withdraw troops from Houston and withdraw all troops to California. By the end of December, the Americans paid the last $2 billion in a lump sum, and the Ming withdrew its troops from California.

The United States gave money, and the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops and strictly abided by the provisions of the treaty.

Because the Ming government needed to shrink its forces, because the situation of the First Sino-Japanese War was still as messy as it was in history.
