"You have to remember. www.biquge.info Qian Liang picked up his hat and put it on, turned to look at MacDonald when he walked to the door, and said in a deep voice, "You only have three days. If this unconditional surrender is not accepted within three days, the army will continue to attack. After this time, it is estimated that there will be no next negotiations. Be sure to think it through. ”

"Is there really no room for things to turn around?" The pale-faced MacDonald shouted loudly, "Can't we give up almost everything and just want to leave the last piece of land?!" Why do you have to kill them all! ”

"What would you do if you had the advantage now?" Qian Liang smiled and raised his finger to point to his head, and said loudly, "Think about it in a different position." If you had gained the upper hand now, would you have let this opportunity go? ”

Qian Liang is right, the Americans feel that Da Ming is aggressive and leaves no room for it. But if they were in the position of Da Ming, would they let Da Ming go? I guess it's going to be more demanding, right?

The talks ended in nothing. After all, no one is willing to give up everything just yet, and although Da Ming said that Zhang Cheng could provide them with amnesty, this kind of verbal guarantee has no meaning at all. High-level dignitaries are not willing to give up when they still have large tracts of land and troops in their hands.

Three days passed quickly, and the Ming army readjusted its deployment and launched another fierce attack. Their first target was New York, the largest city in the Americas.

New York, formerly known as New Amsterdam, was originally discovered by the Dutch during the Age of Discovery. However, after the Ming launched the Global War, the Dutch were defeated and forced to hand over all their colonies to the Ming as compensation, including New Amsterdam.

Later, the United States became independent. It was renamed New York. Over the years, it has become one of the most prosperous cities on the American continent. Countless riches have been concentrated here, and millions of people live here. Most of the industry here has been relocated. Business is extremely developed.

The government-in-exile and American dignitaries who had retreated from Washington and elsewhere were largely concentrated here. In a sense, New York is even more important than Washington.

"Did everything go?" After leaving Vancouver and returning to New York, MacDonald called the head of the intelligence service and asked in his office whether the plan had been completed.

"Nope." Carlson, the head of US intelligence, shook his head and said, "There are too many things, and the situation is very chaotic right now." Everywhere there are outlaws who don't want to die. And the big businessmen didn't want to do it. ”

"The thugs don't matter, just send the army." MacDonald said in a deep voice, "What do the big businessmen think? Do you know? ”

"What else can you think?" Carlson smiled bitterly and said, "I can only think about surrendering after the Ming army comes." They were reluctant to transfer their assets, believing that they could continue to be rich under the rule of the Ming Dynasty as long as they contributed a sum of money. War is a no-brainer for them anyway. ”

"These idiots!" Enraged, MacDonald slammed the table hard, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Don't they have brains? The country is going to be gone, can these people still protect themselves? Think about what they did during the war. They'll definitely be sent to the gallows! ”

"We all know that." Carlson nodded, "But they don't believe it." They think that as long as they have enough money, there is nothing that money can't solve. ”

"Leave them alone." MacDonald commanded in a deep voice, "It won't be long before the Ming army will attack it, and this place will definitely not be able to hold it." Go at once and load all the gold stored in the bank onto the ship. And don't leave any of those valuables behind. ”

"But." Carlson frowned and said, "Those big businessmen won't agree." They all locked the gold in the vault, and we couldn't get in. ”

"Then go grab the keys." MacDonald said coldly, "It's all about this time, and there's no need to care about anything anymore." Directly send troops to take them all. ”

"However, there are many people in the government who have received their help. At this time, it is very likely that they will intercede or notify them directly. Carlson looked at McDonald, and what he didn't say in his heart was that you yourself have received support from these people on a large scale, and you are going to cross the river and tear down the bridge at this time?

"I've said it all!" MacDonald understood what Carlson meant. Some shouted angrily, "Don't worry about those things, send the army to take everything away!" ”

Although the army was dispatched to try to forcibly take away a large number of valuable goods, the big merchants had close ties with many high-ranking government officials. They had already known about it. Some people take everything away early. Others use their own private armies to confront the military.

It's hard to imagine that the American tycoons of this era basically have their own private armies. After all, they are very, very rich, and there is basically nothing that cannot be done when they have money. Even the government turned a blind eye under the watchful eye of many high-level officials who received money. Even most of its private armed forces are retired soldiers of the army, and their equipment is also military weapons made from the army.

Many of the armies sent to loot gold and other valuable goods were defeated by these well-armed private forces. Instead of getting a good thing, he folded his own huge amount into it. And then many bigwigs and high-level officials put pressure on MacDonald, and even people from the military came forward to speak. In this case, MacDonald can only sigh a long time.

In fact, they do it in much the same way as other countries think. They all knew that this war was basically doomed, so they wanted to secretly leave a group of loyal people and a large amount of valuable wealth to be used again for the restoration operation many years later.

As the United States, which has huge gold reserves and earns a lot of gold through trading. The plan for the restoration of the country is enormous. Among the various materials to be hidden, there are hundreds of tons of gold alone. Originally, they also wanted to get rid of the valuable materials in the hands of those big merchants, but after suffering losses, it was mainly the Ming army that was rapidly approaching and forced them to abandon this plan.

By the beginning of October, the troops of the 2nd Panzer Group of the Ming Army had rapidly approached the New York area. Its vanguard Mighty Search Battalion has captured the town of Monroe in southern New York. Seeing that the Ming army was about to enter, the US top brass had no choice but to hurriedly start the evacuation plan.

At this time, the U.S. military still had a strong air force. After all, in the past many years, they have not only produced more than 100,000 aircraft of all kinds, but also trained a large number of pilots. Although now, after a series of fierce battles, the fighters and pilots have suffered considerable losses. But at this moment, the US military is still able to mobilize tens of thousands of fighters to join the operation.

Most of these aircraft are old-fashioned piston engine aircraft. Although it was difficult to compete with the Ming army for air supremacy in the sky, its naval aviation unit possessed a powerful naval attack force. Thousands of bombers and torpedo planes were still very dangerous for the Ming naval fleet.

Therefore, the Daming naval fleet rarely takes the initiative to approach the danger zone. After all, they were doomed to victory, as long as the ground forces not only drove the American troops to the north, it was enough to turn the American fighter planes, which lacked supplies and spare parts, into scrap metal. Therefore, the Ming fleet is not blocking the waters near New York and to the north. Because there's no need for that.

On the night of October 2, a long motorcade passed through Brooklyn toward Long Beach. The fleet is huge, with hundreds of vehicles. A large number of ten-wheeled heavy trucks were covered with thick canvas, and the tires were crushed. Heavily armed soldiers are guarding the front and right. Idlers and others can't get close at all.

"Look over there." As the convoy was heading to Long Beach via the Brooklyn Bridge, MacDonald, who was sitting in the back seat of a stretch sedan, stretched out his finger to the southwest and whispered, "The Ming army is about to come in." ”

Also sitting in the car were MacDonald's wife and children. They all looked nervously at the reddened night in the distance, which was almost illuminated by countless bright flickers. MacDonald's wife clenched her hands as she hugged her daughter in her arms, low

"What is that?" Is the Ming army about to rush in? ”

"It should be near Woodbridge." MacDonald looked at it for a while before nodding and saying, "Don't worry too much. There are a large number of troops stationed there, and it is not a simple matter for the Ming army to fight over. After a pause, MacDonald looked at the distant night with a complicated expression, and whispered, "At least not tonight." ”

After a difficult drive, the large convoy finally arrived near Long Beach. At the port wharf, several ships have been waiting here for a long time.

It was a small fleet of one destroyer and four minesweepers. The main reason why transport ships are not used is that they are slow and cannot get out of dangerous sea areas as soon as possible. And this is actually the most powerful force that the US Navy can mobilize at the moment.

At the end of the naval battle in the South Pacific, the Ming Navy has been sending large-scale aircraft groups to bomb the US fleets in various seaports after obtaining the forward airfield close to the US mainland. Almost all the remaining surface ships of the U.S. Navy were destroyed.

At this time, the most capable warship of the U.S. Navy was a Japanese Navy destroyer named Yukikaze. (To be continued.) )
