The conference room at 10 Downing Street, London, England, was lit up again this night. The important members of the Imperial Cabinet of the www.biquge.info Pavilion, as well as the senior generals of the Navy and the Army, gathered in this small and somewhat shabby conference room, the smell of coffee and cigars was mixed together, as well as the smell of sweat emitted by the human body staying up late, it was really a little choking, and even the secretary of the Prime Minister's official residence who brought coffee to the conference room from time to time couldn't help frowning. But the most powerful people in the conference room didn't know what to do, and everyone was blushing and arguing loudly.
"Obviously, this is the last chance for the British Empire! Neither Australia nor the Straits Settlements could survive the naval battle in the South China Sea, and India could be invaded by China again at any time...... Everything the empire has in the East, it is possible to lose. But we must never forget that the main battlefield of this world war is in North America! The battles between India, the South Seas, and Australia are small compared to the scale of the battles there, and if we can win in the Americas, the British Empire will still have a glorious future! ”
Giving his impassioned speech was the Imperial War Chancellor William. Gladstone, who was the leader of the Liberal Party, and Benjamin. Disraeli's Conservative Party is a political adversary. But now, because it was wartime, he joined the coalition government, and the two parties were in the same boat and contributed to the British Empire together.
But solidarity does not mean that there is no conflict, nor does it mean that there is no need to plan for the aftermath of the war. The current coalition government is dominated by the Conservative Party, and the responsibility for the loss of India and Australia is, of course, borne by the Conservative Party. If the Liberal leader leads the Army. Being able to play a pivotal role in the war, such as winning North America for the Reich, would obviously be very beneficial to the position of the Liberal Party in the post-war British political landscape.
"Mr. Gladstone, are you trying to put the last bargaining chip of the Empire in North America as well?" Secretary of the Navy Robert Brown. Churchill said with a frown. "If you don't win, the empire will lose everything! I guess you know who our opponents are? That is the military strategist Zhu Juan who can be compared to Napoleon I, not his foolish brother Zhu Guowei...... In fact, even his foolish brother Zhu Guowei is just as difficult to deal with! ”
Yes, the 500,000 troops that the British are transferring to North America are not intended for a decisive battle! At least not until the outcome is clear! Because Prince Albert also intended to use them to pick up the pieces when the British-American empire collapsed...... For example, the Canadian provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Toronto, as well as the nine states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampton, Rhode Island, and Maine in the northeast corner of the American Empire. And then on these territories formed a New England kingdom -- a territory that was a small part of North America, but an area that was many times larger than the British Isles. The population is also about the same size as the British Isles. As for the resources, it is not small, the coal of the Northeast of the United States. Quebec's iron ores, forests and non-ferrous metals are all essential resources for industrial development. As long as Britain can make good use of development, it will surely revive again in the future.
According to Albert's idea, India was the present of the British Empire. The Kingdom of New England was the future of the British Empire. In addition, the Ming Empire did not make any claims to the Transvaal Republic, the Orange Free State, or the Cape Colony, which meant that the British Empire could at least share the gold there after the war. Basically, the most valuable colonies of the empire were preserved, and it was not too ugly to lose.
However, the dignified empire on which the sun never sets is really going to fall to this point, which is really unacceptable from the map, and it also makes most British people feel too unwilling.
William. Gladstone gently turned the cup full of hot coffee and said to Robert. Churchill's pessimism was unimpressed, "Jujuan will not have more than 3 million troops in his hands (2.8 million in fact, and 3 million in two months' time)." It is also necessary to take control of the occupation zones of Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the central and western parts of Canada. And our total strength on the North American battlefield exceeded 3.5 million, a full 500,000 more! Are we going to keep these 500,000 people in our hands and not throw them into the battlefield, and then watch the other 3 million people be crushed by Jujuan? ”
Mr. Gladstone has a point. We can't do that. The Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Sir Milne, chimed in, "The Americans have done their best, and we cannot afford to retreat and not follow up, otherwise Jujuan will most likely swallow up the territory that belonged to the Kingdom of New England after defeating the American army." ”
"30 million Caucasian people will not submit to his rule of a yellow race!" Robert. Churchill reminded.
Prime Minister Benjamin. Disraeli put down the coffee cup and said coldly: "In fact, he is not a yellow race, he is a half-race!" Except for Jujuan. He's still Juan. Napoleon. Bonaparte, prince and marshal of the Roman Empire. Son of Caesar Mathilde I of the Roman Empire. ”
Robert. Churchill said: "That's just Mathilde I messing around, and no one will take it seriously." ”
"Napoleon was an Italian in fact, but no one in the whole of France thought he was a fake Frenchman!" Benjamin. Disraeli shook his head, "If Jujuan had killed, wounded, and captured 5 million whites on the battlefield, no one would have taken him for a fake Napoleon!" When the time comes, the entire Roman Empire will be proud of him! ”
He was silent for a moment, took a sharp puff on his cigar, and said coldly: "Whether Jujuan can become the king of the white people of North America or not depends not on the color of his skin, nor on his bloodline—in fact, his bloodline is nobler than all the people in this chamber combined—and it is the force in his hands that really determines whether he can rule North America!" If he wins this battle by an overwhelming margin, then no one can stop him, not even Zhu Jishi! So I think we have to go all out and gamble everything! ”
……
"Mobilize the troops of Texas and Arkansas...... We have to take a gamble now! ”
Jujuan is now ready to gamble everything, not only to maximize the use of the forces at hand, but also to mobilize all the 200,000 men deployed to maintain rule in Arkansas and Texas.
"Great King, do you want the 18th Army and the 19th Army to go north to Kansas?" Yang Xien's voice was calm, the actual chief of staff of the North American Army had already been trained, and he had a bit of a general's demeanor, even at this time, he was still not in a hurry.
"Concentrate on Greenville." Jujuan Road.
"Greenville? That's ......" Yang Xien was slightly stunned, trying to find the city called "Greenville" in his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Jujuan chuckled, "It's Greenville, Mississippi." ”
"Mississippi? But that's the land of the New Kingdom of France! Yang Xien looked at Jujuan with some surprise.
"I know." Jujuan said lightly, "The 18th Army and the 19th Army are predominantly white armies, and they ...... Isn't it claimed to be a legion of the Romans? ”
As mentioned earlier, the Kingdom of Donghua had white citizens and white troops. They are called "white traitors" by the Americans, but they themselves identify with the motherland of Donghua.
"Did His Majesty Caesar promise us to pass through New France?" A hint of joy flashed on Yang Xien's face and he asked. "Her 10 legions...... Will also strike from New France? According to the intelligence, the situation in South America is very bad now, and Augustus has ordered His Majesty Caesar to fully support King Henry. ”
Paraguay - Two days ago, the troops of the United Kingdom of Uruguay suddenly crossed the Uruguay River (the border between Uruguay and Argentina) and then stormed Buenos Aires and seized the capital of the Kingdom of Argentina! This is really a slap in the face of Augustus and Caesar in the Roman Empire. Napoleon IV was naturally furious, and ordered Mathilde to quickly dispatch a large army to recover Argentina and Brazil. King López, the robber who undermined the unity of the Roman Empire, was caught in Paris and hanged!
Zhu Juan smiled slightly, but did not answer, but changed the subject, "Our Southern Route Army is under a lot of pressure, right?" The Americans will soon concentrate more than a million troops to attack, but can they be sure to resist it? ”
"No problem!" Yang Xien was confident, "We also have 1.1 million people!" It's enough to surround Kansas City with 500,000 people, and 600,000 people can hold out for two or three months anyway, is it enough? ”
"Enough! Enough is enough! Jujuan smiled, "It's a gamble, we're going to let the British lose the last copper plate!" ”
……
"Commander, good news, the main force of the Chinese army is heading north to Des Moines, and our plan is half successful!"
Central Park, New York. British-American Army General Command. George. Admiral McClellan handed a telegram he had just received to his British superior, Admiral Tayschel.
"What about the other half?" A hint of joy finally appeared on Admiral Tays's gloomy face, and the main force of the Chinese army went north to Des Moines, which was in his trap! Now it's up to the other half of the plan to succeed.
"The Chinese army has retreated from Pacific City, Missouri." George. McClellan excitedly sent another telegram, "Within a week, Castise. Admiral Lee's sappers were able to lay the railroad there. In three weeks at most, 1 million American troops will be able to storm Kansas City by land and water! (To be continued) R655
