Washington, the Army Joint Council, when Chairman Daniel walked into the office, the colonel in charge of intelligence tasks, rushed in in a panic and informed him of the news that shocked him, Salt Lake City and Ogden, at about 11 o'clock and 3 o'clock last night, respectively, under a large number of armored attacks, which had been confirmed.

Themselves, last night, they received a telegram, but they did not record it, but there were records on the telegraph machine, and they were ready to destroy these records, but one after another telegrams, especially in places closer to Salt Lake City, there were similar telegrams sent, after all, Salt Lake City and Ogden, there was a fire last night, not to mention dozens of kilometers, one or two hundred kilometers away can be seen, these circumstantial news, plus some other news, all point here, Salt Lake City and Ogden, the latter is also down, It's just a small city of about 10,000 people, but Salt Lake City is the state capital, and there is a problem in such a city, which no one can cover, whether it is a foreign enemy or a bandit, this is an earth-shattering event, and no one can cover it.

Moreover, this telegram was not directed at them alone, but was distributed on public channels throughout the United States, and this situation could not be suppressed, so the two telegraph operators on duty reported it, and frankly admitted that it was because of them that they slept yesterday and did not report it in time.

The colonel was in no mood to care about them anymore, such an important matter, Salt Lake City and Ogden sent it directly, obviously, if they were not attacked, they would not send this message, and the surrounding area, the area closest to Ogden and Salt Lake City, the circumstantial evidence sent by various cities, also proved that there was indeed a war between Salt Lake City and Ogden.

The chairman looked at the colonel who was already covered with sweat, as a general, he knew very well what it meant, he didn't know why, there were enemies in Ogden and Salt Lake City, the border cities of the United States and there was no other place to start a war except these two cities, who was this enemy? Is it a rebel or a bandit?

However, as a high-ranking general, as a high-ranking officer who knows the United States very well, Daniel knows very well that these bandits in the United States do not have the ability to storm a city, is it a revolutionary party, but the whole United States, in the time of war, although many aspects are not satisfactory, but for the revolution, the internal control is strengthened, under such a premise, there should be no problem, besides, if the revolution is to appear, it should also be Chicago, which is the heavy industry base of the United States, and the number of workers is very large, Salt Lake City and Ogden, cities dominated by agriculture and railroads, with very few workers, especially Salt Lake City, where the most conservative forces in the United States are located, how could there be a revolution?

Before Daniel could give the order to follow up, several telegraph operators ran over and received another telegram, which was in the direction of Oakley, it turned out that the survivors of the destroyed villages had been attacked by the armored forces on the direction of Ogden yesterday, and the survivors of the destroyed villages, as well as other villages, had gone all the way north to Oakley, and then quickly reported that Oakley had heard their report and immediately sent a report to Washington.

More than 5,000 tanks, into the hinterland of the United States, and the context is relatively clear, entered from the north, more than 20 villages, successively confirmed, the tank is from the Missouri River, and then directly attack Salt Lake City, such a huge force, absolutely not ordinary forces can reach, the revolutionary party or the chaotic party is even more impossible, this should be an army, is it Japan?

Daniel couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately anxious about the personnel of the Joint Staff Conference, from the Navy to the Army, after Daniel informed the situation, the entire Joint Staff Conference was in chaos, and the vast majority of officers couldn't believe it, they didn't think that the American defense line would let so many armored forces quietly come in.

However, one after another, messages were sent in a continuous manner for about four hours, and each one was more important than the other, about 9 o'clock, the battalion commander sent to Ogden arrived in Provo, and after verifying his identity, he reported first-hand information that about 5,000 tanks were attacking the American hinterland, and they were Japanese.

Japanese? Now the joint meeting is even more shocked, aren't the Japanese suppressed in Alaska, why did they appear here, how did they spend 4,500 kilometers such a long route to get here, if it is on the West Coast, maybe it is possible, China has occupied the advantage of the ocean, they can rely on this advantage, they can move on the American coastline at will, after Japan occupied Alaska, the United States deployed a certain number of troops on the West Coast, that is, to prevent them from landing, But Japan and China have never done so.

It can't be through the West Coast, a Rocky Mountains, which are nothing in Canada, are already close to the tail, the most mountains are in Alaska, but in the western United States, it's absolutely huge, from Utah all the way to California, huge mountain ranges, almost suppressing the West Coast only by the sea is a small plain, before the railroad is connected, it is very difficult to cross the western mountains to the West Coast.

A small number of infantry, landing on the coastline and then crossing the Rocky Mountains, this is possible, but tank forces are absolutely not possible, unless the Pacific Railroad is in Japanese hands.

Don't mention the Pacific Railroad, it's good to say, when it comes to the Pacific Railroad, some of the brains turn faster, and their faces change, because the Japanese destroyed Ogden's railroad after completely occupying Ogden, Ogden was almost burned to the ground, except for running out in advance, the follow-up ones basically died, which is also the fundamental reason why the Pacific Railroad was not mentioned in the telegram, the battalion commander of the National Guard, although he saw the Pacific Railroad cut off in the north, but it was to block their trains, Moreover, after the Japanese blew up that section, they did not continue to destroy, and they did not even take care of it, which allowed them to escape to their lives, whether from the perspective or from the situation at the time, he did not think that Japan's purpose was for the Pacific Railway.

The battalion commander can't judge, it doesn't mean that these staff officers can't do it, they are the most professional soldiers, what they are good at is to judge the best plan according to the existing situation, and all the information in front of them, including why the tanks did not attack before the Missouri River, or even before Ogden, but only attacked after Ogden, what made the Japanese make such a choice, the reason seems to be very simple, that is, Ogden and Salt Lake City have obvious differences from other cities, Looking around the cities in the north, the biggest difference between Ogden Salt Lake City and them is that it is a railway hub city.

When a staff officer raised this question, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and before, everyone focused on how Japan entered the hinterland of the United States like Salt Lake City through Canada and the United States 4,500 kilometers, but now, Ogden and Salt Lake City have been attacked, which means that Japan's strategic purpose seems to have been achieved, and the railway hub between Ogden and Salt Lake City may be destroyed.

The Pacific Railroad is the link between the east and west of the United States, and it is the most important railroad in the United States, and its truncation will be a huge blow to the United States, and if this sabotage continues, the United States will not be able to mobilize forces to destroy such an armored force.

With clues, it was confirmed that this was a huge armored force, and it came from the north, through the border of the United States and Canada, then it was possible to investigate this, and soon, the Joint Staff Council issued a series of orders, aimed at the possible routes on land, if there was a targeted investigation, soon, all kinds of intelligence would be reported, and near the Missouri River, traces of a large number of tanks crossing the river were found, because it was only two days, and there was no rain, and a large number of cavalry were sent to investigate, the ruts of these tanks are basically not cleaned up, quite clear.

More and more information is that the United States has a control over the country far above Canada, and soon, the Japanese route is revealed, which continues to the Canadian border, and even some cavalry went to the Canadian border for dozens of kilometers, and the Japanese tanks entered from the Great Plains.

From the current intelligence, this Japanese armored convoy is very fast, and in a few days, it entered the United States from Canada, and Henry, Mark, and the people who escaped from Salt Lake City have also reported all kinds of intelligence, thousands of tanks have been determined, and the Japanese have also determined, and even under certain circumstances, there is also some information on the destruction of the Pacific Railway.

The goal of the Japanese is very clear, that is, to attack the Pacific Railway, in the face of a large amount of evidence, it proves that Japan came from the north, and now it seems that it is not ready to return, the east and south, it seems that it will not go back, then there is only to the west, and the armored forces are unlikely to cross the Rocky Mountains, then from Salt Lake City to the front of the Rocky Mountains, at least 500 kilometers.

Everyone's face has changed, a city, even a small section, for the United States, is not very destructive, at most it affects a short period of time, can be used in many alternative methods, connected or connected, but if the 500-kilometer-long line, most of which are destroyed, then for the United States, it will be a nightmare, is Japan's purpose this.

At this time, there was no more news coming, but a large number of orders were sent by telegram to various places, especially those cities west of Salt Lake City, on the one hand, to confirm the Japanese attack, which can be regarded as reducing losses, and in the places where the troops in the east and west are concentrated, it is also ordered to start mobilizing, this is a war related to the fate of the United States, such a huge armored force, must be eliminated as quickly as possible, otherwise, the longer it stays in the United States, the stronger the final damage, and the greater the loss.
