The straight-line distance from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is 400 kilometers, and the airship sailing time is 3 hours.

The airship soon rose to a high altitude and began to fly smoothly.

Zhang Wei used these few hours to prepare to sum up his itinerary and battle arrangements, and strive to occupy more territory in the shortest possible time; When he saw Lake Mead in southern Las Vegas and Lake Utah in Salt Lake City on the map, Zhang Wei made a temporary decision to leave the airship in Las Vegas and he would travel in an amphibious plane, which would be much faster.

As long as Nevada and Utah are occupied, as well as Arizona in the south, then California's is safe.

When Zhang Wei arrived at the shores of Lake Mead in Nevada, it was already half past eight in the evening, and Zhang Wei put the 2nd Cavalry Division and the Defense Forces of the 6th and 7th Divisions on the shore between Lake Mead and Henderson City, and Zhang Wei gave them the order to occupy the whole of Nevada under the leadership of the Cavalry Division.

Zhang Wei left the airship here, arranged for them to continue to fly forward, and must arrive in Salt Lake City before tomorrow morning, temporarily under the command of the commander of the Second Division of the Praetorian Guard, assist them in transporting supplies and troops, and occupy the main cities on the main transportation routes as soon as possible.

Subsequently, Zhang Wei released an A6 amphibious plane from the system, and then took off from Lake Mead in the plane and rushed to Lake Utah, Utah, the reason why he did not choose to land at the Great Salt Lake was because it was densely populated there, which was not conducive to secrecy, and leaked the news of the sudden appearance of the planes and soldiers of the Xia Empire, which was not conducive to the continued deployment of troops in the future.

It is about 700 kilometers from Lake Mead to Lake Utah, and the flight time by plane is 2 and a half hours.

The western shore of Lake Utah is still relatively inhospitable, with planes landing and soldiers appearing out of nowhere undetected, and the chances of leaking information are very low.

At 11 p.m., the plane landed very smoothly on Lake Utah, which is the advantage of having radar, which is very convenient to use at night.

Zhang Wei ordered the plane to taxi over the lake toward the west shore, and only stopped when it was about to land.

Zhang Wei did not get off the plane, but directly put the 2nd Janissary Division and the 8th and 9th Divisions of the Wehrmacht on the west bank of the lake, and let them occupy the whole of Utah, and the battle was commanded by the commander of the 2nd Praetorian Guard Division; For major campaigns, it is necessary to seek instructions from the General Staff of the Western Theater.

Zhang Wei did not dare to delay time, and ordered the plane to take off and fly in the direction of Seattle.

The straight-line distance from Lake Utah to Seattle is 1,300 kilometers, and the flight time of the plane is about 4 and a half hours, which is very tight.

At 4 a.m. on the 23rd, the plane landed off the coast of Aberdeen, southwest of Seattle, and then the plane taxied to the coast and landed outside the town of Grayland.

After Zhang Wei landed, he first released the 3rd Division of the Praetorian Guard out of the system and let them occupy Seattle and the surrounding cities first.

Then Liu Weiguo, chief of staff of the Northern Theater of Operations, and his team were released from the system.

Liu Weiguo asked Zhang Wei to release two divisions to occupy Vancouver and Portland, and to continue his march south to occupy all of Oregon.

According to the plan, Zhang Wei gradually released the troops out of the system, first releasing the 15th Division of the Wehrmacht, and letting it follow the pace of the Praetorian Guard to occupy Seattle; Wehrmacht's 16th and 17th Divisions went to occupy Oregon; The 18th Division of the Wehrmacht was responsible for the security of the General Staff; The 19th Division of the Wehrmacht was to occupy territory in Washington State except Seattle; The 20th, 21st, and 22nd Wehrmacht Divisions and Cavalry Divisions prepared to occupy Idaho; After the capture of Idaho, the cavalry units will go to occupy Wyoming; The 23rd Division of the National Defence Force is responsible for the delivery of logistical supplies to the troops.

Montana had to wait for Zhang Wei to deploy troops when he went to the Eastern Theater.

For this reason, Zhang Wei specially purchased several destroyers, fast torpedo boats and cargo ships to put them in the open sea, let them sail back and forth to patrol, blockade the surrounding sea, and create the illusion that the Xia Imperial army landed from this side, and the 18th Division of the Wehrmacht also specially sent one regiment of soldiers to impose martial law on the periphery.

After Liu Weiguo had completed the placement of his troops, the troops began to move towards their predetermined targets, Zhang Wei and others also began to ride in the direction of Seattle, and Liu Weiguo was ready to set up the staff headquarters, air base, and logistics material warehouse in Olympia City.

The Praetorian Guard recommended all the way to Seattle without encountering any opponents, and the territory occupied in front was taken over by the Wehrmacht in the rear, so the speed of the advance was very fast.

It was about 70 kilometers from Grayland to Olympia, and by the time Zhang Wei and others arrived on horseback, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and only one battalion of the Wehrmacht was left here to maintain order, and the large force had already gone in the direction of Seattle.

Zhang Wei and others directly entered the city government, and for the time being, they could only set up their offices there.

Liu Weiguo asked: "Your Majesty, the temporary goal is to occupy the territory and temporarily exercise military control over the occupied areas, and now it is best to have all the administrative leaders of the provinces, cities and counties, make a good plan first, and send the administrative officials directly down where the conditions are ripe, so that the speed will be much faster and there will be no chaos." ”

"It's okay, for the time being, I will leave you 4 provincial governors, 100 city-level, and 500 county-level cadres, as for when I will take office, I don't care; The provincial-level divisions remain unchanged and are implemented according to the previous state settings, as for the setting of cities and counties, it is up to you and each governor to plan separately, and about 10 cities in each province are ideal, and no more than 20 cities at most. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, but what about the whites?"

Zhang Wei replied: "It is important to occupy the territory first for the time being, and leave the whites alone for the time being, and as for other places that I don't understand, I will send a telegram to consult the Metropolitan Governor and the Deputy Governor." “

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then Zhang Wei released these administrative personnel out of the system, and the specific work was discussed and decided by Liu Weiguo and the four provincial governors.

In the afternoon, Zhang Wei arrived at the camp of the 23rd Division of the Wehrmacht outside Olympia, where a large number of tents had been erected as temporary warehouses, which Zhang Wei prepared to fill with food, ammunition and other materials.

The air base is temporarily located on the east shore of Lake Black, southwest of Olympic City, and the entire Lake Black is included, which can not only take off and board planes and amphibious aircraft, but also build a runway to prepare for the future landing of other aircraft, and temporarily dock airships.

Zhang Wei left one Hindenburg airship in the Northern Theater of Operations, which could facilitate the supply of materials for troops from other states.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Wei was busy with all the things, and as for the management of the troops and the construction of local political power, he did not need to worry about it. (To be continued.) )
