Just as Yingtian and the people of Paris were staring at the evolution of the war situation in the New World and discussing countermeasures. www.biquge.info The Chinese-Roman coalition under the personal command of Jujuan finally joined forces with the Chinese 11th Army in St. Louis. Admiral Lee commanded less than 800,000 troops - there were no more than 1 million left, and more than two months of fierce fighting made Custis . Lee's forces had lost nearly 200,000 men, and the 150,000 troops besieging St. Louis had fled, having been cut off from the rear supply lines and already under enemy fire from the east and west.

But the bitter battle is far from over, because Castise. Admiral Lee's army had by this time all crossed the Missouri River and was now divided into five tactical clusters and was retreating northeast. Once they were allowed to cross the Mississippi River and return to Illinois territory, it would be possible for them to get supplies from the towns where the Americans lived before retreating to Chicago.

At the same time, the American forces on the northern front were not finally destroyed, and the rout and pursuit battle continued. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops scattered into dozens of units, desperately escaping on the Great Plains west of the Mississippi River, with only one goal: Minneapolis, Minnesota, a city in the center of Minnesota, surrounded by lakes and rivers, and a processing and distribution center for Minnesota's agricultural products, with a railroad connection to Chicago.

As long as the U.S. military retreats to Minneapolis, it can hold out for a while with the terrain and stored food. However, Han Si and Chen Yucheng, who were old and spicy in their use of soldiers, were unwilling to give their opponents a chance to breathe, and regardless of the fatigue and casualties of the continuous battles of the troops, they forcibly pursued and fought fiercely. Trying to wipe them out outside Minneapolis.

and re-took command of the Southern Front. Moved his own headquarters to Jujuan, St. Louis. Likewise don't want to let go of Castiques. Lee's hundreds of thousands of remnants were defeated. The 11th Army, which was stationed in St. Louis, and the 1st Romans (White Army) and the 2nd Romans Army, which arrived with Juan, were sent out and spread north along the Mississippi River, forming a thin line of defense, trying to slightly block the eastward escape of the American forces - Juan's 700,000 allied troops were now split into several clusters, and only about 200,000 of the most combat-ready White troops of Donghua followed him to St. Louis, and the other troops were still entangled with the British and American troops encountered along the way. The war is still going on on on the east bank of the middle Mississippi River!

There are still too many U.S. troops. Jujuan sighed secretly. In the end, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will escape, and they have the potential to mobilize further." ’

It can be said that the North American war has been fought so far, and the outcome has been decided, but the whites in North America still have the strength to continue fighting. Even with the withdrawal of Texas and the "five states of New France" from the war, the population of the British-American Empire remained between 28 million and 30 million. The maximum mobilized force should be between four and a half million and five million, and the British also provided a maximum of a million troops. In addition, intelligence indicates that there are also a number of white volunteers in New France and Texas who have volunteered for the British-American Army, and even white volunteers from Europe......

Relative to the numerical superiority of white North Americans. 18 million Chinese is still too little, even if it can occupy the whole of North America. Nor is it powerless to suppress the constant resistance of whites. After the Chinese army penetrated deep into the white ghettos, the guerrilla activities became more and more frequent. And in the territory of the New French Kingdom, Jujuan also felt a strong hostility towards the Donghua army, but also towards the Roman army, which was mainly Mexican.

Jujuan can even be sure that in the future there will be new and larger wars in North America! The defeated white North Americans will certainly not give in!

Marshal Han Si, who had been recruited from the former enemy of Des Moines to serve as the chief of staff of St. Louis again, saw Jujuan's brows tightening, and understood his thoughts, "This time the blow to the Americans has already been very great, and in the end, four or five million will be killed, seriously wounded, and captured, and the number of people who die in the war for other reasons will not be less than one million." After this battle, they should always have a long memory, and there will always be peace in the past thirty years. ”

"Thirty years from now? How many people will we have? How many people will they have? Jujuan squinted and leaned back in his chair, looking very tired. Millions of people here in North America have been fighting for more than two months, and as the commander of one side, Jujuan naturally has not slept a single peaceful night, and now he has to worry about the post-war situation again.

Han Si looked at the tired and hard-working appearance of his young lord, sighed softly, and said: "There can always be a million immigrants a year, if the Ming army in North America is resettled on the spot after the war, we can have 19 million people, 30 million immigrants in thirty years, plus the population reproduction, there will always be 60 million by then." ”

"How many can there be?" Zhu Juan shook his head lightly, "In the past, it was a Donghua, the chosen country, with abundant products and rich people, which could naturally attract immigrants. But in the future, there will be Beihua, Nanhua and Nanyang Islands...... Donghua is one million a year, South China and North China are not less than one million each, and the Nanyang countries should also have one million, and there are always one million in Xihua, New Japan, and Siberia together, and the Northeast, Northwest, Jiaozhou, and Lanfang of the Ming Dynasty will also immigrate to fill it. How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty? Can you really export so many people in a year? And Donghua has gone through war, can it still be regarded as the chosen country? How many people dare to emigrate to Donghualai, where a big war is about to break out at any time? And Donghua's finances ...... It's a mess! ”

Zhu Juan's words also made Han Si ponder. Donghua can be said to be the main force of the Chinese side in this world war. More than half of the Chinese troops on the main battlefield in North America were citizens of Donghua, and most of the rest had to be naturalized in Donghua after the war. Donghua's strength seems to be extremely strong, and even catches up with the Ming Dynasty! However, Donghua's weakness is also very deadly, the population is too small, and there are tens of millions of white North Americans who are hostile to Donghua -- although Juan himself is half of white blood, and he is still of white royal blood, but the yellow and white conflict in North America is no longer something that Juan's blood can resolve.

More than a year of war has left at least 3 million white North Americans dead or disabled! By the end of this war, the number of whites killed and wounded by the Chinese army under the command of Juan would not be less than 5 million, accounting for almost one-eighth of the total population of white North America (excluding whites in Mexico and Donghua)! And Juan also broke up the British-American Empire, the mainstay of white North America...... But it is impossible for Donghua to annex all the territory of white North Americans.

There are so few Chinese in Donghua that the 18 million gun-wielding Chinese mob simply can't digest the 35 million gun-wielding white mob. If annexed by force, it will only lead to a protracted period of violent conflict. As for the extermination of the white people of North America...... Juan can't do this kind of thing, and he can't do it. Because it will prompt the white people of the world to unite against China!

And the Xuanwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not necessarily support Donghua to take all the homeland of the United States as his own, right? Now the Emperor Taishang of the Ming Dynasty and the female Caesar of the Roman Empire are here, and Juan and Donghua still have strong reinforcements. And thirty years later, most of these two are gone, will Emperor Xuanwu support Donghua like him Lao Tzu?

"King, when the old minister returns to Yingtian, he will definitely truthfully tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty about Donghua's difficulties." Han Si thought about it and could only answer like this.

"If I have a chance to be the king of Mexico, I can unite the two yellow powers in North America, or maybe I can calm things down a little bit...... Only when the situation is stable can more immigrants come to North America? Jujuan didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he turned the conversation to the Mexican succession.

'How did you get to being the king of Mexico?' Han Si was stunned, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. He doesn't like to pretend to be stupid as much as Zheng Hong, but he also knows that as a hero and general, it is taboo to befriend the kings. Although he came to North America to be Juan's chief of staff this time at the behest of Zhu Jishi, it is best not to have too much contact with Juan and Juan's family, and it is enough to do his duty in a proper manner...... The issue of the succession to the Mexican throne is obviously no longer Han Si's duty!

Seeing that Han Si didn't speak, Juan didn't say any more, but changed the subject, "My mother sent a telegram from the cruiser Canal, Napoleon IV is ready to intervene in the war. ”

"Intervene? Who's on who's side? Han Si was taken aback and hurriedly asked. Although Napoleon IV gave Britain an ultimatum that lasted for two months, it was just to find a step for himself, and it did not mean that he approved of Mathilde's "going alone". Now that the North American battlefield has been decided, the British Empire has almost fallen apart. It is really hard to say whether the Roman Empire will jump out at this time and lead the white people of the world to resist China.

"I don't know yet." Jujuan shook his head, "My mother has already telegraphed her supporters in the Eastern Empire and asked them to fight for the Roman Empire to stand in opposition to Britain. But we're going to prepare for the worst! ”

"King, the ...... of New France and Mexico" Han Si frowned as he spoke, why did he go around to Mexico again?

"If the Roman Empire were on our side, both New France and Texas could become our enemies! Because the whites there were all once Americans! Jujuan said lightly, "As for Mexico...... At least not for now. But once my mother decided to break with Napoleon IV, she was no longer Caesar of the Roman Empire and Consul of the Western Empire, but only the Queen of Mexico!

And the succession to the throne of Mexico, if I give it up, according to convention, will be the king of the United Kingdom of Central America, Joseph. Bonaparte or his son obtained. In other words, if my mother has any strengths and weaknesses, Mexico will also be our enemy! (To be continued.) )
