Commander-in-Chief Arthur MacArthur was stationed in the port of Havana, which was already the base camp of the American army, and all the wealth seized from Cuba and Mexico, except for the precious metals that some countries urgently needed to be transported to New York, all other materials were hoarded in the ports of Havana and San Diego to prepare for the landing in South America.

The biggest headache for MacArthur is still logistics support, the United States reserves of precious metals in addition to repaying the Xia Empire's compensation, there is not much money to buy military supplies, and now the army still has 2 or 3 people using a rifle, artillery is even more scarce, can only be used intensively, not to mention light and heavy machine guns, the ammunition consumption is too great, with the current strength of the United States simply cannot afford it.

Fortunately, the Xia Empire did not ban the sale of military uniforms, backpacks, lunch boxes, towels, guns and ammunition, artillery, food, medicine, etc., as long as there is money, the Xia Empire can sell anything, and the price is relatively affordable, and even take the initiative to deliver it to the door, and by the way, the copper, cane sugar, coffee, etc. that arrived at the Xia Empire were transported away, saving a lot of transportation capacity in the United States.

When the looted wealth from northern Mexico arrives, you must save some money and buy a batch of rifles, machine guns, and artillery from the Xia Empire, otherwise the risk of attacking Mexico City is too high.

Although everyone hates the Xia Empire, only the Xia Empire can guarantee such a large amount of material supply at present, and the delivery is timely, the price is not expensive, and the distance is close, so they can only choose to trade with the Xia Empire.

They always regarded the Lu State and the Xia Empire as one.

In order to ensure victory in the war, in order to ensure the national interest, Arthur MacArthur and Secretary of War Taft both put their work first, but personal conflicts are still very serious.

As a front-line commander, Arthur MacArthur carried out drastic reforms of the troops and boldly promoted young officers educated in modern warfare, but the contradictions with the old forces represented by Taft were still difficult to eliminate.

Fortunately, the front line went well, recovering a large number of urgently needed supplies from the United States, alleviating domestic conflicts, and gaining the firm support of President Roosevelt and the trust of most cabinet members.

On June 19, the War Department sent the minutes of the Cabinet meeting.

The first thing he saw was that the president ordered him to continue his appointment as commander-in-chief of the front, which made him feel very relieved that his previous efforts had not been in vain.

Any military general has the dream of expanding his territory, and he is no exception.

Then the president ordered him to occupy Dutch Guiana as a bridgehead, and then to occupy Brazil, which would be the future territory of the United States; At the same time, it is required to speed up the dispatch of troops, otherwise the United States is in danger of collapse.

President Roosevelt also appointed former Secretary of State Elihu Rutter as Governor General of Guyana pro tempore; the appointment of Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks as Governor Tempore of Brazil; the appointment of Secretary of the Interior, James Rudolph Garfield, as Director of the Immigration Commission; The three will fully assist him in the occupation of Guyana and Brazil, and will go all out to carry out national immigration to Brazil.

The president's order was somewhat different from MacArthur's assumption that he had intended to occupy Venezuela and Colombia, which were very close to Havana and were very suitable for military operations, and because the military forces of these two countries were extremely weak, they were very easy to occupy.

Now that I have read the minutes of the cabinet meeting, I feel that the president still has a long-term vision, and for the time being, he must avoid the sphere of influence of the Xia Empire, and the farther away the better.

Brazil's military strength was backward, making it easy for the United States to occupy it; There are no military powers around Brazil, which is convenient for the development of the new United States; More importantly, Brazil is far enough away from the Xia Empire's sphere of influence that it will not be threatened by the Xia Empire until it rises again;

Brazil has a vast area, a sparse population, and developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and was the world's main producer and exporter of sugar, coffee, citrus, cotton, corn, chicken, beef, and tobacco at that time.

More than half of Brazil's population is made up of European immigrants and people of European descent, similar to the United States, and these people can be easily forced to accept American rule; As for the local blacks and Indians, they had no voice, and they were the cheap labor needed to build the new America;

Brazil does not have a complete industrial system and a military industrial system, which is the strength of the United States, and American capital can develop rapidly here.

Brazil has abundant reserves of iron, copper, lead, tin and other metal resources, which is convenient for the rapid development of the military industry in the United States; The abundant gold reserves can provide a large amount of money for the development of the United States.

What a great place to be, God bless America!

Dutch Guiana is very poor, and the military strength of the suzerain, the Netherlands, is not at all an opponent of the United States.

Brazil is an independent country, and Portugal, the original overlord, has declined to the point where it is no longer worthy of carrying shoes for the United States.

Although the United States can't defeat the Xia Empire for the time being, it still has the strength to bully these small countries.

Otherwise, tens of millions of people have emigrated, and just eating is a big problem, and how to move all these tens of millions of Americans to Brazil is too far away, and logistics support is a problem, and it is very difficult.

The benefits of overcoming difficulties and achieving the president's goals are obvious, firstly, it can save the people of the United States from fire and water, and secondly, it can make the United States reborn from the ashes; And he has made great contributions as the commander-in-chief of the front, and it is indispensable to leave a name in history.

What is more important is to raise his son well in the war, so that Douglas MacArthur will become an excellent soldier who can be his successor in the future.

He himself would have gained the highest popularity in the war and become the savior of the Americans, and when he was stable, it would not be difficult to run for president.

After the war, the United States must elect a tough president, otherwise it will be difficult for the United States to survive in this world of the jungle.

After the war, the United States must attach importance to the development of its military strength, and whether it is the navy or the army, it will definitely build a huge standing army, and it will no longer be a clay-legged giant.

And his post-war popularity was certainly unmatched, and as a hero who saved the fate of Americans, he must have been the most suitable person for the presidency.

For now, it is better to fight the Mexican war first, grab enough material wealth, prepare for immigration, and at the same time prepare for the rebuilding of the United States.

The President of the United States demanded that the last grain of food be snatched from the Mexican people and that any resistance be exterminated.

This is not a difficult thing for a soldier, any famous general, which one did not rise on the white bones? The president is right, instead of making Americans hungry, it is better to make Mexicans hungry, and since they dare to fall into the well when the United States is bullied by the Xia Empire, they must bear the anger of the American people.

After the war, all Mexicans starved to death, and that was also the responsibility of the President of the United States, he just faithfully carried out the orders of the President of the United States, which is a good character as a soldier, and it is not to blame on his head, the title of "butcher" can only be given to the president, and it will not affect his post-war campaign for president.

He, Arthur MacArthur, is sure to be one of the great presidents on a par with Washington and Lincoln. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
