Chapter 281: Zhang Wei's Ambition
After Zhang Wei sent a telegram to Kong Xiangwei, he ordered the airship to land at Kong Xiangwei's headquarters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lieutenant General Kong Xiangwei had already given the order to attack, but in fact, at this time, the battlefield was full of high-temperature fires, and the burning of incendiary bombs had not yet finished, so the troops could only compress forward, narrow the encirclement, and wait for everyone to burn out, and then gradually gather the US troops hiding everywhere.
With Zhang Wei's help, the annihilation of 65,000 troops of the US army in such a short period of time made Lieutenant General Kong Xiangwei full of more expectations for the war.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on such a brilliant victory!"
"Alright, let's not talk about that, and help me draft a telegram right away!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please speak!" As he spoke, Kong Xiangwei took out a pen and paper and prepared to record Zhang Wei's order.
"The first telegram was sent to Prime Minister Chung Do-woo of the Imperial Council, asking him to issue an ultimatum to the United States, demanding that the United States must surrender unconditionally and that the United States should repent and make reparations for the crimes they have committed; The second telegram was sent to Metropolitan Governor Feng Guohua, asking him to move the headquarters to Kansas City and establish a direct area of the Command, with Los Angeles as the city directly under the Command; The third and fourth telegrams were sent to Lieutenant General Li Qingfa in the Eastern Theater and Lieutenant General Su Linxu in the Central Theater respectively, and the two theaters were united, with Lieutenant General Su Linxu as commander-in-chief and Lieutenant General Li Qingfa as deputy commander, to launch an order to strike a final blow against the United States, leaving only one division of the Wehrmacht in each state to maintain law and order, and the remaining troops to attack and annihilate the American forces entrenched in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh, and occupy Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. and the western part of Pennsylvania, which contains Pittsburgh. Do you have any thoughts on this arrangement? ”
"Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for me to express my opinion on the first two telegrams, and I feel that Your Majesty is a little risky for the last two telegrams, our troops are not equipped with heavy artillery, and the US army is definitely equipped with heavy howitzers, such as the battle just now, if it were not for Your Majesty's assistance, we would not have annihilated the US 2nd Army so smoothly, and we would definitely suffer a big loss from the US heavy artillery, and Lieutenant General Su Linxu would definitely encounter similar problems."
"It's simple, I'll arrange an airship in a while, send them a batch of incendiary bombs, and use the airship to deal with the heavy artillery against the US army."
"Your Majesty, the U.S. military must also have airships, and there are more of them, if we have an airship battle, we will not necessarily take advantage."
"Then I'll send 5 more amphibious fighters over to deal with their airships."
"If that's the case, it's much safer."
"Don't worry, I'll equip you with an airship too."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!" Kong Xiangwei said happily and revised the draft of the telegram.
"Repeat!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the first telegram was sent to ......"
After Kong Xiangwei finished repeating it, Zhang Wei felt that it was correct, took over the draft of the telegram, read it again, signed it, and said: "Send it out as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Wei looked at the map and thought about how to occupy the southern side, and now it is not appropriate to continue to fight alone according to the theater of operations, but must occupy the territory of the United States in the most convenient way, and then divide the jurisdiction of each theater in detail after the war.
After Lieutenant General Kong Xiangwei returned, Zhang Wei continued to order, "General Kong, you lead the 6th Janissary Division, the 6th Cavalry Division, and 4 divisions of the Wehrmacht to launch an attack in the northeast, occupy Tennessee and Kentucky, and if time permits, continue to occupy West Virginia." ”
Kong Xiangwei thought about it for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the distance is too far, when my troops arrive there, will it be too late in time?" ”
"Why don't you use your brains, now there is a national defense division stationed opposite Memphis, and across the Mississippi River is Tennessee, and the railroad from Dallas to Memphis is all under the control of the imperial ** team, and it doesn't take long to use the railroad to transport troops!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will overcome the difficulties and successfully complete the mission, but West Virginia is one of the original thirteen colonies of the United States, should we occupy it too?"
"Occupy as much as you can, and it's good to leave 13 states in the United States!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"In addition, you order the 7th Cavalry Division and the 7th Janissary Division, with the commander of the 7th Division as the commander, to lead the troops to occupy and consolidate Louisiana and Mississippi."
"Yes, Your Majesty, aren't we going to occupy Alabama? This state was not part of one of the original thirteen colonies! ”
"I'm going to set up the Southeast Theater of Operations, and I'll personally go to occupy those territories, but now the railways to those territories are not smooth, and they are not under the control of the Empire, and the distance from here is too far, so I'll save time myself, besides, there is also a U.S. Army stationed there, and I'll go to facilitate the battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will give the order!"
Zhang Wei still has 2 divisions of the Praetorian Guard and 2 cavalry divisions in his hands, and there is no shortage of the Wehrmacht, but for the time being, he still does not want the Wehrmacht to participate in the offensive battles, and the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht and the Praetorian Guard are still very different.
Now it seems that the combat effectiveness of the US military is really low, and it must take the opportunity to occupy the entire Gulf Coast states; After occupying Texas and the Gulf Coast, the United States must rely on imports of oil, and its development stamina is naturally insufficient; After occupying steel cities such as Pittsburgh and Birmingham, the United States will not be able to compete with the Xia Empire with Philadelphia's steel production alone, and other important industrial and commercial cities such as Chicago, Atlanta, and Detroit will be occupied again, and the United States will not have a chance to turn over in the future.
The next step is how to deal with the criticism of the white countries in the Western world, no matter what, they will not spit out the territory they have occupied, and the big deal is to fight a small world war first, maybe the United States can be completely wiped out, and by the way, the whole of Canada will also be occupied, and then North America will be the world of the Chinese.
After lunch, the troops had finished cleaning the battlefield, and the American prisoners also buried the bodies and ashes of their comrades.
Kong Xiangwei had already given orders to the 7th Guards Division and the 7th Cavalry Division, and they had already set off.
Zhang Wei ordered a defense division to be left to guard the prisoners and maintain order in Dallas and Fort Worth, and decided to build an air base on the shores of Lake Tavaconi east of Dallas.
In the afternoon, Kong Xiangwei led the troops to set off, the cavalry troops rushed on their own, the first batch of troops of the Praetorian Guard Division set off by train, and the successor baggage and Wehrmacht took the train to support the operations on the front line.
And Zhang Wei, after leaving enough baggage and supplies, rushed east by airship, and he had to arrange the troops in place tonight, and tomorrow, the staff headquarters of the Southwest Theater would be able to operate normally.
According to Zhang Wei's idea, the current scope of jurisdiction of the Central Theater can be changed to the area directly under Feng Guohua's jurisdiction, Su Linxu of the Central Theater can be changed to the Northeast Theater, and the Southeast Theater can be established in Atlanta.
