Chapter 640: The Final Chapter (End of the Book)
There is no doubt about the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Especially in the late stages of the war.
A strong industrial system and a highly qualified citizen have combined to create a powerful force that has terrified countless people. This is a huge group composed of tens of millions of huge troops, hundreds of thousands of tanks, planes, and artillery of all kinds, as well as guns and ammunition, medicine and military uniforms, and from grain and minerals to electricity and energy.
Tens of millions of troops fought bloody battles on the front lines, and hundreds of millions of citizens gave full support to them in the rear. Advanced technology, strong logistics support and world-class material production capacity. The Ming Empire swept the whole world in a crushing manner. Except for those vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the whole world trembled under the iron hooves of the Ming Dynasty.
From the deserts of North Africa to the coasts of South Africa, from the Land of the Rising Sun to the ends of the West, from the Arctic Ocean to Antarctica. After several years of bloody battles, the whole world was filled with the golden dragon flag of the sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty. Countless nations and peoples were conquered, ruled. They have struggled, resisted. But they all failed.
Bald Eagle, known as the only one in the world that can compete with the Great Ming, also lost. They can't even preserve their own homeland.
In fact, if it weren't for the unexpected participation of Zhang Cheng, an outsider who did not belong to this world, perhaps the pattern of this war and the whole world would have changed dramatically. Not much else, at least it takes a lot of energy and time for the Ming Army to embark on mechanization, and it is impossible to have advanced tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment that are at least one generation ahead of the whole world from the beginning.
Secondly, it played a decisive role in this war, and it was so powerful that all opponents were desperate that it was impossible for the Ming Army Aviation to lead its technology from the beginning to the end of the war, nor could it have the world's largest and most complete fighter force before the war.
There is also the navy, if it were not for Zhang Cheng's strong intervention, if the Ming Navy, which was rampant with conservative forces, accepted the aircraft carrier as the real core of the navy, at least until it had enough of suffering on the battlefield. And if that were the case, the Japanese naval fleet would be enough for the Ming Navy to bring huge losses and pain.
In the end, if there is no Zhang Cheng, the Ming Empire may still be a chaebol government. The emperor and the chaebols would betray the country for various reasons and exchange of interests, either to drag the front-line officers and soldiers back at some point, or to start peace talks directly.
The most important point is that if there is no Zhang Cheng's existence. Maybe Da Ming won't have the ultimate weapon plan. And once the Americans' plans are realized first, the results will be chilling. Under the deterrence of the ultimate weapon, the Ming will lose in this war without even pants.
The appearance of Zhang Cheng completely changed the pattern and trend of this war. So that Daming achieved the best results he could achieve. They managed to fight the whole world with not too much damage, and the whole world was in their pockets.
The U.S. military put up a very tragic resistance in New York, which is the symbol of the United States. This huge city is full of high-rise buildings and buildings. The huge city is like a jungle of steel. At the beginning, the Ming army invested more than 200,000 troops into New York City, but it disappeared like salt sprinkled into boiling water.
The frightened Ming army hurriedly sent a large number of reinforcements into New York for reinforcements, and as many as one million troops were put into New York before and after. Numerous aircraft and artillery plus tanks and armored vehicles took turns to fight, and it took nearly half a month to drive the defenders out of Manhattan Island.
After the defenders fully withdrew from Manhattan Island, they crossed the East River and retreated to the Long Island area to continue their resistance.
In the fierce battle of Manhattan Island, the most tragic battle was not the initial forced crossing of the Hudson River and the bloody battle for Roosevelt Island when the forced crossing of the East River into Long Island was carried out. The real battle broke out in the middle of Manhattan's steel jungle in Central Park.
This large park, which is less than four square kilometers, houses the main artillery positions of the defenders and their forward headquarters, and is the heart of the entire defense of Manhattan. In order to capture this place, the Ming army launched several large-scale attacks one after another, but they were all repulsed by the stubbornly resisting defenders, and the losses were huge.
Under these circumstances, the Ming army mobilized a large number of air forces to violently bomb this important site under the resistance of the US air force. The artillery positions deployed here were largely destroyed. Many areas, including zoos, strawberry fields, fountains, etc., were bombed into rubble.
In particular, the Delacott Theater, where the garrison headquarters is located, was completely destroyed and reduced to ruins under the heavy shelling of the Ming Army Aviation. The massive casualties of the command personnel and the destruction of the headquarters greatly dealt a blow to the will of the defenders to resist. By the time the Ming army had completely blocked all the streets around Central Park and blocked all the way out for the defenders, they could no longer hold on.
The capture of Central Park by the Ming army meant that the fierce battle on Manhattan Island had turned to an end, after all, the central nervous system of the defenders had been destroyed. Sure enough, just three days later, the defenders of Manhattan Island retreated across the East River to Long Island, trying to continue organizing resistance in the Long Island area.
Long Island is very large, even much larger than Manhattan Island. But the main force of the defenders and their spirits had actually been scattered on the island of Manhattan before. Except for the initial period when the Ming army forced their way across the East River and captured Roosevelt Island, the defenders put up fierce to brutal resistance.
By the time the Ming army landed on Long Island in earnest, especially after seizing several important bridges that allowed the armored forces to drive straight in, the resistance here quickly collapsed.
Brooklyn, Queens lost one after another. After the airport also fell into the hands of the Ming army, the defenders, who had suffered extremely heavy losses, soon broke up completely. They fled to the eastern part of Long Island, crossing the Long Island Strait to the north of Connecticut and Rhode Island using all the means they could to cross the river, even by swimming directly.
The Ming army soon fully occupied the entire Long Island, declaring that New York had completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
The fall of New York had a tremendous impact on all fronts. Because this is a world-famous mega city, it is the most famous place in the entire alliance. After successive defeats, this is also considered the last position.
Although the vast majority of the government in exile. The high-ranking dignitaries of the government had already fled early. However, there are still many desperate people who choose to stay and resist. They are tired of endless flight and rout. They are reluctant to continue north to the icy Arctic. In the same way, they are not willing to surrender.
Most of these people have fled from all over the world to come here. After the destruction of their country, they pinned all their hopes on the Americans, hoping that the Americans would defeat the Ming Dynasty and restore their country. But the ultimate reality is brutal. Instead of helping them recover, the U.S. military put themselves in it.
In this case, many people's hearts are like ashes. In despair, he is determined to fight the Ming army on the battlefield!
Most of these people came to the United States from all over the world in search of hope. After hope turns to despair and they can no longer return to their hometowns, these people become beings who no longer care about life. They were almost the last to fight, and many of them were dying with their positions. If only all the Allied officers and soldiers could fight as bravely and fearlessly as they did. That Da Ming probably won't be able to move a single step before the super bomb comes out.
In the end, tens of thousands of last fighters from all over the world chose to live and die with a city that had nothing to do with them. Its strong belief in heroic combat brought huge casualties to the Ming army and greatly delayed the Ming army's combat time. even succeeded in delaying the Ming army going north until winter.
After the capture of New York, the demoralized Ming army swept across the northern region like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. They attacked from the west coast, and the Great Lakes region was already from the east coast to the north. It has seized Portland, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Quebec and other places.
During the nearly two-month sweep north, millions of defenders laid down their arms and surrendered to the Ming army. Almost all major towns and settlements were taken by the Ming army. In many countries, the government-in-exile had to voluntarily surrender to the Ming army after all kinds of torture. They've had enough of these days.
Then, the cold winter arrived. The cold air blowing from the Arctic Circle forced the Ming army to end the main ground military operations of the war, and the rest was handed over to the special operations forces.
In order to end the war as soon as possible, Zhang Cheng ordered the front-line troops to continue the attack and advance. The Ming army, which had the most adequate security, bravely moved forward, and swept through Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland, and Labrador in the midst of heavy snow and severe cold.
They even made their way to the shore of the Arctic Ocean, where they met the Eskimo igloos, the hounds pulling the sleds, and the snow-white polar bears. Many Ming officers and soldiers spent a cold winter in the igloo.
The pursuit of the Ming army still achieved some results. Many of the provisional governments of various countries that fled north were captured one after another on the way, and some of them were really unable to escape and lacked all kinds of supplies and had to surrender on their own initiative. However, from the beginning to the end, the Ming army did not find any trace of high-level American politicians.
In the years that followed, a large number of Ming troops searched the entire northern continent, even the entire island of Greenland. But they found no trace of the American dignitaries who had gone north. The Ming intelligence department has been tracking for many years, but it has not found the slightest.
No one knows exactly where those people went. Some people think they had an accident on the way, some people think they have a huge underground base somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the north, and some even think that they took a plane to the moon in the north. But the final verdict was, missing.
Winter turned to spring, when the Ming army finally characterized the lost American dignitaries as missing, Zhang Cheng issued an armistice broadcast in the imperial capital, announcing to the world that the Ming had successfully won the final victory of the war. At this moment, the whole world is boiling. The war, which lasted for several years and claimed countless lives and property, has finally come to an end.
The powerful Ming almost single-handedly shouldered the challenges of the whole world and successfully won the battle. After possessing the super bomb, it is almost impossible for the Ming Empire to be in danger of extinction. And all of this is because of the changes brought about by Zhang Cheng, a visitor from another time and space.
------
The imperial capital, Zhang Cheng's official residence.
Sunny afternoon, spring in the garden. Zhang Cheng's red faces are taking the children to play among the flowers. And Zhang Cheng was lying on a rattan chair and reading a book leisurely. This is a martial arts written by himself, which caused a huge sensation after it was published in the newspaper. Some publishers printed books and sold them with his consent. The first set was sent to Zhang Cheng.
In fact, the books written by Zhang Cheng are just copies of those classic martial arts books that have been read in modern time and space, but in this era, this is a real epoch-making chicken soup for the soul. Countless people forgot to sleep and eat for it, and did not hesitate to queue up all night in order to get a book of martial arts.
The warm sunlight was very comfortable on his body, and Zhang Cheng, who had no much pursuit, squinted his eyes and felt that he was about to fall asleep. It wasn't until the butler came to inform him that the guests had arrived, and he regained his spirits.
"Is His Majesty the Emperor still satisfied with his current life?" The guests who came were all promised's henchmen, Wang Yan, Wang Fan, Xiao Hongbao, Lu Zhiyuan and others. After a brief greeting, Zhang Cheng asked directly to Wang Yan.
"I'm sure I'm not going to be satisfied." Wang Yan smiled and said, "But everyone will think that he is very satisfied." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Cheng nodded.
After the end of the war, Zhang Cheng announced the abolition of the monarchy, and the emperor was forced to announce his abdication. There is no way to do it, even if he is unwilling to abdicate, it doesn't make any sense. Zhang Cheng's power is unshakable.
"How's the government preparing?" Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Fan.
"Everything is ready, and there will be no problems in the general election." Wang Fan's answer made Xu Promise nod with satisfaction. After the abolition of the monarchy, it was changed to an electoral system. Zhang Cheng and his henchmen formed a new party that included almost all military and political figures to participate in the election, but in fact it was just a process, and no one would be their opponent.
"How is the situation in the army now?" Zhang Cheng actually doesn't care about whether the election is or not, all he really values is military power.
"A large number of officers and soldiers are enthusiastically asking to join our party, and the officers and men have unswervingly supported Your Excellency." After Lu Zhiyuan's words were finished, Zhang Cheng slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, then let's open up a new era!" ”

"Daddy, Daddy." The little girl hiding in Zhang Cheng's arms said in a childish voice: "I still want to listen to the story." ”
"Okay." Zhang Cheng, who was sitting at the head of the bed, said with a smile, "In that magical world, there is something that can connect the world and let everyone face to face, and the name is Internet ......."
