In August 1861, the "Brothers' War", which was born on the Big 6 in North America, finally turned into a "state-to-state" war with the alliance between the Mexican Empire and the Confederate States of America and the declaration of war on the United States of America. After several years of preparation, the Mexican Empire, which belonged to the Bonaparte dynasty, finally waited for the good days of shame, and the 200,000 troops armed to the teeth (including 50,000 of the Mexican Foreign Legion, 50,000 of the Mexican French Regiment, 50,000 of the Mexican Central Regiment, and 50,000 of the Mexican Royal 6th Army), aboard hundreds of merchant ships and warships, divided into several groups on New Orleans in the Confederate state of San Louisiana.6 and then transferred to river boats or on foot, and sailed north along the Mississippi River.

According to the agreement between the Confederate States of America and the Mexican Empire, this coalition with the Mexican army brand will be responsible for operations in the central theater under the name of the Mississippi Army after joining the 50,000 American League** team. , General Boregaard of the Union State became the chief of staff of the corps, and Shi Dakai, the general of the Ming army, became the deputy commander of the corps. And their opponents, with a total strength of up to 4o thousand!

In the vast Central Plains of the United States, there are as many as 650,000 people fighting two armies, which is really not a lot. It was simply not enough to form a continuous defensive line, and it could only be waged in the form of a field corps of Luogan. For the remainder of 1861, however, the two armies did not engage in major battles, but only engaged in a few medium-sized encounters. And all of them ended in a great victory for the Southern Army, albeit at a numerical disadvantage. However, the Mississippi Regiment of the Southern Army, which was dominated by the Ming Army, the French Army and the Mexican Foreign Legion, had at least 2 times the actual combat effectiveness. So on the Central Battlefield. The Southern Army was on the offensive, and the Northern Army could only be passively defensive.

, not to capture the cities held by the Northerners, but to burn or plunder the freshly harvested wheat in Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana.

The Eastern Theater also had no major battles in the last months of 1861. The summer encounters seem to have exhausted both the North and the South. Including the militia, the losses in the north exceeded 1o people! The Confederate army also lost more than 15,000 men, but the most combat-effective mobile corps in the Confederate army had left the eastern battlefield and joined the Mississippi Army in the center. Thus deprived the Allied forces in the Eastern Theater of the sharp knife of the offensive, in fact, after the offensive in the summer of 1861. The Confederates already knew that they could not attack Philadelphia and New York to force the North to make peace. So they had to go on the defensive, and began to build more than 3oo miles of defense along the Potomac, Shenandoah and Appalachian Mountains, known as the "League Defenders."

The Federation Army, on the other hand, is in charge of the Eastern Theater of Operations. Throughout the fall and winter of 1861, Admiral Scott was busy organizing the 60,000 men recruited for use in the East, forming the Potomac Corps under Lieutenant General Sherman and the Susquehanna Corps under the command of Lieutenant General Grant from the western United States, to press the north and east sides of the Confederate lines, respectively. In addition, a considerable part of the force is used to defend the coastline of the northeastern United States and to guard against British Canada behind it......

It is also worth mentioning that after Mexico announced its entry into the war. The federal side immediately organized the Western Corps. And his main opponent is not the Mexican. Rather, it is the Chinese (and indeed the Japanese) who have spread all over California and Utah! Of course, it is not only the United States of America that is worried about the steady stream of Chinese in the Americas......

The beacon fire ignited on the North American Big 6 can be said to be a good opportunity and a huge challenge for the three major powers in the world, the Ming Dynasty, France and the British Empire! Whoever gets the most out of the disintegration of the United States of America is likely to be able to rule the world!

From the map, it is clear that the shape shì is more favorable to Britain and France. After all, British-ruled Canada and the Mexican Empire, ruled by the Bonapartes, were both neighbors of the United States. If the American North had lost the Civil War, and had lost miserably enough, for example, only the Northeast and the Great Lakes region remained, Britain would still be able to bring the American North back under its banner. Even if it can't be done, the post-war United States of America will surely turn into a hardcore ally of the British Empire! Because their motherland is actually falling apart because of the Ming Dynasty and France, such hatred cannot be resolved in 1oo years! Moreover, after the loss of the vast lands and markets of the central, southern and western regions, the industry of the United States of America could only rely on the capital and markets of the British Empire, and it was unlikely that it would be able to maintain its autonomy any longer.

France's interests look even greater! After all, the Mexican Empire was the property of the Bonaparte family, and the Kingdom of California, which included the Rocky Mountains in the United States, was also nominally part of the Mexican Empire, and Mexico seemed to be the biggest beneficiary of the war, if it were not for the fact that Mathilde I did not intend to and did not have the ability to create a real "Greater Mexican Empire". If the war is won, the Mexican Empire will include Mexico proper, the United Kingdom of Central America, and the Kingdom of California, with a total area estimated at more than 550,000 square kilometers! And they can also have the strong support of the Confederate States of America as a hardcore ally, as well as the French Empire. In the future, it will certainly be possible to expand aggressively into South America, and it seems that it will not be a problem to create a golden age of Mathilde that will be extremely proud and nostalgic for future generations of Mexican people......

Oh, and by the way, the Tehuantepec Canal, which connects the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, is also built on Mexican soil. Also, the Suez Canal, which is currently being excavated, is also under the responsibility of the French Suez Canal Company! If the Mexican Empire is regarded as an integral part of the Napoleonic Empire, the Napoleon III Empire in this time and space is really glorious to the extreme! Even Napoleon I was out of reach. So now Europeans have begun to call Napoleon III Napoleon the Great!

And the Ming Empire, in this feast of carving up the United States, seems to be the most losing party. All our Emperor Zhu was able to get was the priority of Chinese immigrants to the Kingdom of California. However, this kingdom is attached to the Mexican Empire, not the Ming Empire!

To add insult to injury, the Empress of Mexico also reached an agreement with the Vice President of the Confederate States of America to set aside part of the Kingdom of California to house blacks in the Texas Reserve...... No matter how you look at it, it's a bit of a loss! When the news reached the Ming Dynasty, there were many people among the courtiers who were retreating, and there were even people who built Emperor Zhu to get involved in the civil war in the United States. lest the Ming Empire become a stepping stone for the French Empire to reach the top of world hegemony.

However, Zhu Jishi ignored such a proposal, because in his view, the strong rise of France also meant that there were two leaders in white European civilization who were neck and neck. This is definitely excellent news for the Ming Empire. After all, Britain and France have a deep historical feud, and it is unlikely that they will unite and share world hegemony. As one of the three poles of the world far away from Europe, what Daming has to do is to show patiently and wait patiently. After all, after the end of this Civil War, the two great masters of the 2o century in history, the United States and Russia (the Soviet Union), have lost their future...... (To be continued......)
