Immediately after receiving a telegram from the ambassador to Shangjing, the President of the United States called a meeting of cabinet members to discuss the ultimatum of the Xia Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The cabinet members finally put their hearts down, it seems that the goal of the Xia Empire is Hawaii and the Philippines, which is similar to the judgment of the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of War at the beginning, the Xia Empire did this for its own safety, and after occupying the Philippines, all the territories of the Xia Empire were connected.

Although the Xia Empire is a little more domineering, but in this era when power determines the world pattern, this is a more common method, whoever can grab these places is anyone's, whoever can hold such a place, these places are whose lands, even if they are unwilling to accept this reality in their hearts, as long as there is no matching force, everything is empty talk.

President Theodore Roosevelt thought to himself that the top priority at the moment was to hold peace talks with the Xia Empire and not to expand the scale of the war, and that the United States was now economically developed, and after learning this lesson, as long as it worked hard to develop its navy and strengthen its army, these lost territories would sooner or later be regained.

War Minister Taft felt relaxed, these 2 days were busy arranging for the army to go to the west coast to garrison, as well as deploying war materials, suffering is one thing, mainly the army soldiers are new recruits, lack of training, if the Xia Empire's army fights, it will definitely be defeated, and now they have no intention of continuing to expand the scale of the war, then they are relieved.

The Secretary of the Navy began to plan his huge naval fleet, believing that after this war, Congress would no longer restrict the development of the Navy as before, and that it would be difficult to build two battleships with that little military expenditure every year, and if this situation occurred again in the future, the United States would be in danger of losing its country.

Just when the United States thought that the war was over and was about to enter into peace negotiations, it did not know that Zhang Wei was on his way to the United States, and the so-called negotiations were just a trick to buy time for Zhang Wei to reach the United States.

On the 22nd (the U.S. time is nearly 1 day later than the Xia Empire time, this time is the 22nd of the Xia Empire, and the U.S. time is the 21st, and the date will be unified in the future, regardless of the impact of the regional time for the time being, and the Xia Empire date will be used uniformly) At more than 3 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wei's seaplane landed in a small town between Los Angeles and San Diego, the open sea of Agra, and then slowly taxied towards the coast.

After the landing, Zhang Wei first removed Feng Guohua, the chief governor of the North American Theater Command, and Jin Shunian, chief of staff of the Western Theater, from the system.

According to the plan of Metropolitan Governor Feng Guohua, the Western Theater has 15 divisions of the National Defense Army, 1 division of cavalry, 1 division of the Praetorian Guard and 1 heavy artillery regiment, with a total strength of more than 270,000 people. Theater of Operations West is responsible for several U.S. states on the Pacific coast and territory within the Sierra Nevada, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico from north to south, as well as the states to the west, for a total of 11 states.

The western theater is mountainous and huge, and it is very difficult to occupy these territories in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the United States has a well-developed railroad system, and at this time there are 350,000 kilometers of railways in the entire United States, and as long as the communication lines of large cities are occupied, the troops can quickly advance through the railroad system and quickly occupy these areas.

According to Hua Guoqiang's plan, first occupy the southern part of California, set up the Western Theater Staff Headquarters in Los Angeles, where Chief of Staff Jin Shunian will command the troops to fight, and then send troops to attack in different directions; at the same time, Zhang Wei wants to send part of the troops to Washington State and let them launch an attack from the north under the leadership of a senior staff officer.

Zhang Wei knew that his command ability was inferior to that of these professionals, and he listened to Feng Guohua's advice on how to arrange troops.

Feng Guohua said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to occupy Los Angeles, so that we can have a good foothold in the United States, Los Angeles is the largest city in the western United States, and we must occupy it as soon as possible, and there is San Francisco, there are many Chinese, we must send troops to occupy there, make full use of the advantages of the local Chinese, especially their security company, which can provide us with a lot of intelligence and be responsible for leading the way." ”

"Okay, do what you say."

Therefore, according to Feng Guohua's arrangement, Zhang Wei first released the cavalry division out of the system, and asked the commander of the cavalry division to lead 5,000 people to occupy Los Angeles, and strive to catch the local troops and police by surprise, and be sure to occupy the city on the same day; Send the deputy commander of the cavalry division to lead 3,000 cavalry to quickly occupy the city of San Diego, and then send the Wehrmath to take over their mission of defending San Diego, and they can return to the city of Los Angeles; Leave 2000 cavalry to protect the staff.

After the cavalry units split up, Hua Guoqiang suggested that Zhang Wei release one regiment of the Wehrmacht and go to San Diego, where they could take over the local defense when the cavalry troops occupied it.

All North American armies are collectively known as the American Army, and the regiment sent to San Diego is the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the American Army Defense Forces.

Subsequently, Zhang Wei, Feng Guohua, Jin Shunian and others led 2,000 cavalry escorts in the direction of Los Angeles, hoping that by the time they arrived in Los Angeles, the cavalry had already occupied it.

Hua Guoqiang felt that the troops were moving too slowly, so he suggested to Zhang Wei: "Your Majesty, according to intelligence, in addition to more than 1,000 policemen in Los Angeles, there are 1 division of the US army stationed in Los Angeles, I am afraid that it will be difficult to occupy Los Angeles with only 5,000 cavalry, so we had better speed up and rush to Los Angeles as soon as possible." ”

"Ah, why didn't you say it earlier, I forgot about it, quick, order the troops to speed up."

There is a distance of about 70 kilometers from Agra to Los Angeles, it is already more than 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky is starting to get brighter, the cavalry troops are speeding up, it takes 5 hours, Zhang Wei feels that the time is too slow, so he gives up the horses and lets the chief of staff of the cavalry division lead the troops to hurry; He purchased a Hindenburg airship from the system, boarded the airship with Hua Guoqiang and others, and quickly rushed to the direction of Los Angeles, he was ready to wait for the cavalry division to carry out aerial bombardment of the US army before arriving in Los Angeles, so as to reduce the combat intensity of the cavalry division.

On the airship, Zhang Wei told Hua Guoqiang and others his thoughts, Hua Guoqiang was very happy, this method is very convenient and feasible, much stronger than running around by plane, and the safety will be much higher, so he suggested to Zhang Wei: "Your Majesty, in this way, it can be convenient for Your Majesty to deploy troops to the entire territory of the United States, we can quickly occupy the cities on the American railway communication line, and achieve flowers on all sides in the United States, so that the United States is caught off guard, so that they have no way to defend and cannot organize an effective counterattack." ”

"I came up with a solution in a hurry, you think about it carefully, improve it, and we'll do it next."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
