Zhang Wei had already planned on the plane that in addition to the troops directly under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Theater, he would arrange for 10 more divisions of the National Defense Force, so that they could go all out to seize the territory of the eastern states and do a good job of defending the troops around the Great Lakes region.

At 1 a.m. on the 24th, Zhang Wei's plane landed at Lake Rice in the southwest of Minneapolis, the capital of Minnesota, and the plane taxied to the south shore.

Zhang Wei first released Li Qingfa, chief of staff of the Eastern Theater, and his staff team out of the system.

According to Li Qingfa's battle plan, Zhang Wei released the Fourth Division of the Praetorian Guard Army and the 26th Division of the National Defense Army, and asked them to occupy Minneapolis first, and then release eight divisions of the Wehrmacht and the Fourth Cavalry Division in turn, and demanded that Rice Lake and its surroundings be built into an air base.

Zhang Wei left the plane for patrol in the Eastern Theater, and at the same time left one Hindenburg airship in the Eastern Theater.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wei flew in another airship to the southern United States. When the airship arrives at Albertley, he will release the other two defense divisions in the Eastern Theater of Operations, one will be stationed in Albertley, and the other will travel west from Albertary to occupy Sioux Falls and all of South Dakota.

After Zhang Wei left, the chief of staff of the Eastern Theater began to issue orders, the 27th Division of the Wehrmacht to occupy North Dakota, the Cavalry Division to lead 2 defense divisions to occupy Wisconsin, and 1 defense division to occupy the northern part of Minnesota, and deploy defenses in the direction of Lake Superior, and the remaining troops were on standby to support the front-line operations at any time, and after Zhang Wei had deployed the troops in the central and southern theaters, he would launch a major counterattack and occupy Michigan.

At 5 o'clock, Zhang Wei arrived in Des Moines, Iowa, where Zhang Wei paused for a while to release three divisions of Wehrmacht troops, which were within the establishment of the Central Theater General Staff, and Zhang Wei ordered that one division go west along the railroad to occupy Nebraska, one division should be stationed in Des Moines, and one division should be deployed along the Mississippi River.

After arranging this matter, Zhang Wei continued his voyage south, arriving at 7 a.m., a suburb 20 kilometers east of Casas City, Missouri.

The first was to release the cavalry division and 1 division of the Wehrmacht from the system, Zhang Wei ordered them to occupy Kansas City, and then release the chief of staff of the Central Theater Su Linxu and his staff team.

Then after communicating with Su Linxu, he released the 5th and 2nd divisions of the Praetorian Guard from the system, and ordered them to occupy St. Louis and deploy defenses along the river, and the front-line battle was commanded by the division commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Su Linxu set up his staff headquarters in Kansas City, and after capturing Casas City, he sent 1 division of the Wehrmacht to occupy Kansas.

The Eastern Theater and the Central Theater have the same number of troops, and then send 1 defense division to occupy the southern part of Missouri, and the remaining troops are all stationed in Casas City to support the front-line troops at any time, and after stabilizing the territory they are currently occupied, they will arrange for troops to counterattack and occupy Illinois.

Chief of Staff Su Linxu chose Lake Clinton, west of Casas City, to prepare for the construction of an air base there.

Zhang Wei left an amphibious aircraft and an airship in the central theater to assist in patrolling or bombing the enemy; He left behind a large number of material supplies such as ammunition and food, and then prepared to leave.

Chief of Staff Su Linxu said: "Your Majesty, you better rest first, your body is important." “

"I also want to rest, but time waits for no one, now that the east-west connection between the central and northern parts of the United States has been cut off, and there is still the passage in the south, we must firmly cut off the connection between the east and west of the United States; Besides, I want to seize time to eliminate the 60,000 U.S. troops stationed in Texas as soon as possible, and then just defend the eastern defense line, the war will be easier, and the inland states can be slowly occupied, and our war goal will be achieved. “

"Then does Your Majesty have any plans?"

"Governor Feng has planned, strive to occupy Oklama and Arkansas today, occupy Louisiana at night, encircle Texas, and then gradually advance to annihilate all the 60,000 American troops stationed in Texas."

"Your Majesty must pay attention to safety, all the lines of communication we occupy today are important lines of communication, the US ** side must have gotten the news, and the US troops in Texas will also make corresponding preparations, Your Majesty had better not land on the ground, in case of an ambush by the US military, it will not be good."

"Haha, Chief of Staff Su laughed, we have so many troops, are we afraid that they will not come and ambush me? I will definitely not let one go, and it is not easy to find them for a decisive battle, how can I be afraid of their ambush? “

"Your Majesty, I'm not worried about the problem of troops, I'm afraid of cold guns and cannons on the battlefield, which will make people unguardable, Your Majesty must not make a risky move, anyway, we have the chance to win, I don't care if it's half a day earlier or half a day late."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."

At 10 o'clock, Zhang Wei boarded the airship and slowly rushed to the southern United States, aiming for Oklahoma City.

Now Zhang Wei is not as cautious as he was at the beginning, when he was preparing to release troops from the system, he had already summed up the skills, first looking for a remote place, releasing a platoon of troops from the system, asking them to search around, and after confirming that there were no locals, then release 1 regiment of troops, alert the surroundings, and then release the large troops from the system, so that even if outsiders are very strange, they would never think that the Xia Empire could conjure up so many troops out of nothing.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Wei's airship arrived in the north of Oklahoma City, more than 10 kilometers away from the city, Zhang Wei looked for a small wood, gradually released his troops, and guarded the surroundings.

When the area of the alert is large enough, the airship will be arranged to fall slowly.

First of all, Kong Xiangshan, chief of staff of the Southern Theater of Operations, and his staff team were released from the system.

Then release the 6th Cavalry Division and the 6th Division of the Praetorian Guard out of the system, let them advance quickly, seize Oklahoma City, Zhang Wei is ready to temporarily set up the Southern Theater Staff here and launch an attack on Texas from the north; Eventually, the Southern Theater Staff Headquarters would be located in Dallas, which was more accessible and more suitable as a staff station.

Three divisions of Wehrmacht, a Hindenburg airship, and some food and other heavy supplies were left for the local area.

Zhang Wei is preparing to occupy Arkansas and Louisiana during the day, completely cutting off the connection between the east and west of the United States, and preparing to launch an attack on Texas tomorrow to annihilate the 60,000 American troops stationed there. (To be continued.) )
