readx;?“ Your Excellency, I am Tony Lind, Chief of Staff of the 45th Division of the United States of America, and on behalf of all the officers and men of the 45th Division and the 77th Task Force of the United States of America, I would like to pay you and your soldiers the highest respect, and on behalf of the 45th Division and the 77th Brigade, I would like to negotiate with your army on the surrender of our army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info..” Tony Lind's words are sincere, he is not a fool and does not feel superior to others because he is white.

"General Linde is glad that your army has made the most correct decision!" Min Youpeng said while shaking hands with him.

The next step was to discuss some matters of surrender between the two sides, which Min Youpeng did not participate in, and he was still planning the next action and observing the reaction at home. Although the battle to capture Bernice this time saved him more time than he had planned, the next thing he had to do was to rush to Bessen as fast as he could, and then head all the way north.

March 17, 1883, morning

Martin Williams, commander of the 45th Division of the United States of America, formally surrendered to the 6th Division of the North American Autonomous Army, and the 45th Division and Task Force 77 were to spend the rest of their time in concentration camps. At the same time, there is also good news: the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team has taken down the empty Beson and opened the way north.

But plans don't always keep up with changes.

On March 20, 1883, in just three days, Min Youpeng had to dispel the idea of going north, because the local staff headquarters (that is, the military department) came with a message to suspend the offensive, originally Min Youpeng would not pay attention to this order He had just taken another important town east of Bessen Boulder was trying to take advantage of the north, but with this order came a letter from the emperor, which meant that he was obedient, so he had to stop, Radio technology has already begun to be used, but at present, radio stations are too large to fit on warships.

The knot is not a single postoperative by the lonely grandson

Distant places are hated and cold

At the beginning of March, U.S. Secretary of State Chester A. Arthur held talks with the Chinese Cabinet, and the fact was that the Cabinet's Tai Chi beat Chester so dizzy that Chester had no choice until the Sixth Division occupied Besson, and the war was an extension of politics, and the defeat of the U.S. military on the battlefield meant that China had taken the lead.

But it was not the military victories and political shamelessness of the empire that really made the United States concede.

The economy is the key.

On March 18, 1883, when the news of the defeat of the American army reached the eastern continents of the United States, in fact, American citizens did not know, and the first to receive the news were the major American conglomerates and businessmen, and after the Montana crisis, in fact, the trade between the United States and China was still busy.

The slight rise in the U.S. stock market on the 18th was a precursor to a sell-off by the conglomerates, but a large number of ordinary shareholders flocked to it, believing it to be a harbinger of prosperity.

At the opening of the market on the 19th, there was still a small rise at the beginning, but then it was followed by a large dive. In this day and age, there are no electronic screens, and all price changes have to be displayed on the blackboard. (I won't write about how the stock market collapsed, and I don't know much about the stock market, anyway, everyone will treat it as a general economic crisis)

......

Of course, it is undeniable that in this US stock market crash, imperial speculators played no small role. For example, the Empire's most famous investment fund: the Brilliant Fund. The financial pioneer of the Shanghai consortium made a big profit in the current economic turmoil in the United States, and from the very beginning of the Montana crisis, the Brilliant Fund sold a large amount of information and advice on the incident from the Red Star Company, which is known as the "imperial think tank".

The collapse of the U.S. stock market stems from the lack of a market, since the Montana incident, the CIA has deliberately prompted the major companies and comptoirs of the empire to suspend trade with the Americans, the United States has achieved tremendous development after the Civil War, the capital of British and European Jews has frantically poured into all walks of life in the United States to invest in construction, and historically, the railroads of the Americans have basically been developed with the help of the investment of British capitalists, and the foundation of the American industrial power has been laid by virtue of its good geographical location and rich natural resources.

Compared with the United States in history, the current United States has not launched a westward movement, and there is a large labor and consumer market in the east, but it is undeniable that China and the Far East market are still the main consumer force in the world. The Panama Canal dragged on casually, the route was carefully checked, and the port waited a little, such a simple means were enough to make US exports suffer a big impact, coupled with a large number of US Treasury bonds thrown in the international market, the current fragile economy of the United States is enough.

Do not doubt that the carriage of consumption is the main force of the market economy. Without the Chinese market, American goods cannot be sold, and the European market cannot compete with the European powers, so American goods can only rot in warehouses. Of course, the assets of imperial merchants in the United States will also be affected by the economic crisis, such as the Carrefour Group, the world's largest retail supermarket empire, in the past few months, Carrefour's sales profit in the United States has been close to operating costs.

"Hello Mr. Arthur! I'm sorry I've been inspecting Dongying Province for the past few days, so I've kept you waiting! You know that the telegraph communication connecting our country to Dongying Province is under maintenance. Li Hongzhang is also a veteran of diplomacy, and this time he went to Dongying Province for half a month under the pretense of being on order, and he also hung the US Secretary of State for half a month.

"Hello! Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for the attack of your country's troops in North America on our cities, I believe that China is a great country of benevolence and righteousness, and the benevolence of Confucius, the great thinker of your country, has always been very popular in Europe and the United States. Chester won't believe Li Hongzhang's nonsense, the submarine cable needs to be overhauled, who is to bluff! However, as a response to his move out of Confucius, China's traditional thought has been very popular in the European and American world for nearly a decade, and Chester just wants to tell Li Hongzhang: Aren't you talking about benevolence and etiquette! Why send an army to attack the United States.

"Mr. Arthur! Our territory in North America and your country do not have established national borders, and our troops have reason to come and go wherever they want. You have to be clear about this, and secondly, regarding the conflict between my North American army and your army, I would like to express my regret here, my ** team will definitely not attack other countries for no reason, let alone a big country like the United States? ”

"You mean our American army is provoking?" Chester retorted after listening to Li Hongzhang's words.

"That's a question! We all have to investigate and investigate, and we can't just jump to conclusions. ”

"Okay Lee! I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, I've had enough of your shirk, tell me what the hell do you want? What happens in that land of Montana has nothing to do with you Chinese, it is our territory, and I hope you will not interfere in our internal affairs. ”

Sturt patted the table, Li Hongzhang was still holding tea and listening to the interpreter's explanation, he put down the teacup and said: "Mr. Secretary of State, what happened in Montana has nothing to do with us, there are more than 200,000 Chinese living in Montana, and we need to ensure their safety." I received a telegram from North America yesterday that more than 10 cities and towns in Montana have declared their independence from Montana and are actively seeking to join our North American Dominion. ”

"Conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy. Chester shouted that he had no domestic news, but the Chinese would never make such jokes, all this was operated by the Chinese behind the scenes.

After the distant hatred and hatred, the enemy learns to pick up the haunt and point to the ghost

"Mr. Arthur is true, I hope you can send a report to the U.S. government as soon as possible to ask for your president's opinion, because you may not be able to call the shots in the next matter."

......

On 21 March, the 6th Division of the North American Autonomous Army moved north again, this time with more concise instructions from the Home and North American military headquarters, and the sooner the better. The meaning of these four words is self-evident.

On the afternoon of 25 March, the 6th Division arrived at the western outskirts of Great Falls, which took an extra day after Helena defeated the 38th Division, and the 6th Division did not attack because William Delevingne was stationed here with the 39th and 31st Divisions.

The back department is not far away, and the ghost learns to fight and feather Sun Leng

The two armies faced off until mid-May, when William Draven left Grand Falls with two divisions after the signing of the Sino-American Agreement on the Territorial Division of North America between China and the United States. In addition to delimiting the respective territories of China and the United States, the treaty also defined the boundaries of the southern states and domions, with more than two-thirds of Montana being seized by the Empire.

Don't think about how strong the U.S. military is, the concept of war between the East and the West determines that as long as this war is not aimed at destroying the United States, then the Americans or the Americans will not fight to the end.

The enemy is not cool, and the knot learns to pick up the lonely milligram

In fact, another reason why the United States was willing to give in was the struggle of the large and small Indian tribes in the west of the United States, the struggle between the Indians and the white colonists, who would not end until 1890, and in many cases they simply lacked weapons. In any case, it was a good deal, the British were dancing happily outside, but the 5th Division of the North American Autonomous Army went directly to the border area of Saskatchewan, and the British immediately gave up, knowing that the British army in Saskatchewan plus the Canadian army had a total of less than 5,000.
