Chapter 451 Inspection Province K Supervision Province

After the Battle of Bermuda, the US military captured the Bermuda naval base of the Chinese Empire, which became the first battle victory won by the United States since the beginning of the Sino-American war. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the U.S. military's defeat in the U.S.-Mexico border battle, the fall of two and a half states, and the disruption of the entire U.S. military's homeland defense system, at the strategic level, the U.S. military is still in a situation of being passively beaten.

The White House High Command, headed by Woodrow, held emergency meetings for seven days, and everyone was confined to their offices until a practical salvage plan was come up.

At this time, half of the members of the U.S. Congress insisted on fighting the war to the end, while the other half advocated peace.

The main battle faction believed that the national strength of the United States could support the attrition of the war, and although the American army had lost several battles in a row, the main force was still there, and the main force of the US Navy could also compete with the Imperial Chinese Navy, so they insisted on carrying out the war of resistance to the end.

The Lords and factions believed that at this time, the Chinese Empire surpassed the United States in terms of economic aggregate and industrial capacity, weaponry and population superiority, as well as in science and technology and operational theory, and that the future of the Chinese Empire, which was a new super empire on which the sun never sets, was worrisome. The Lords and Peacemakers have a strong argument because the U.S. military has lost many battles in a row, including Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines, California, and Arizona, and the U.S. military has been reduced to a defeated division in the face of the advanced aircraft, chariots, and artillery of the Chinese Emperor, which is enough to prove that the U.S. military is simply unable to defeat the Chinese Emperor. The Lords and Peacemakers believed that once the main forces of the U.S. navy, land, and air force were completely defeated, there would be no bargaining chips to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, so they suggested that while the U.S. forces still had strength, they would seek peace with the Chinese Empire as soon as possible.

Although the reasons of the main peace faction are quite sufficient, the main war faction is still unwilling, retorting that if it takes the initiative to sue for peace like this, then it will be bullied to death by the Chinese Empire, and the United States will lose a large area of territory at that time, at least the American territory actually controlled by the Chinese Emperor will not be returned, and Mexico has also entered the war, and it is bound to regain the 2.2 million square kilometers of land forcibly occupied by the United States 70 years ago, and the United States will lose half of its territory at that time. What is even more dangerous is that the Chinese Empire has always had a huge appetite, and after Russia, Britain, and Japan were defeated by the Chinese Empire, the amount of reparations was very huge, and the United States was a fat sheep in the eyes of the Chinese Empire, and the amount of reparations was probably astronomical.

The main war faction believes that instead of sending huge indemnities to the Chinese Empire, it is better to use this money to fight to the death, and maybe there is still a chance to turn the tables.

The two sides argued, and the meeting lasted for a week without reaching an agreement. The Chinese Emperor would not give the Americans time to prepare, and the aggressive offensive began again on July 1, with the Chinese Emperor's armored forces attacking the second line of American strategic defense in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

In the White House, Woodrow couldn't close his eyes for several days and nights, his eyes were blood-red, and the corners of his mouth were full of pus. Other key government officials are no better, and they are all under tremendous mental pressure.

"How's the battle going? Have we beaten again? ”

Woodrow questioned Secretary of State Marshall five or six times in a row within an hour, and each time it gave the impression that the president had become neurotic.

Marshall knew that Woodrow's spirit was about to collapse, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's still holding each other for the time being." The Joint Chiefs of Staff has mobilized 1.5 million troops, 5,000 combat aircraft, and 5,400 tanks, artillery, and heavy machine guns into the second line of defense, and will fight the enemy to the end. i”

Benson also said: "Our navy is also ready for a decisive battle!" ”

Woodrow nodded, turned to Gore, and asked, "Is there any movement on the part of the Chinese Imperial Government?" ”

Gore replied: "I have already expressed a request for peace to the Chinese Empire through the Chilean government. At present, there is no positive answer from the Chinese Empire, but the news from the Chilean side is that the Chinese Empire is also interested in peace talks. ”

Robert suddenly frowned and said, "You can't trust them!" The Chinese Empire has always been fond of playing political fraud, and now that all aspects are beneficial to the Chinese Empire, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to stop and negotiate peace with us. ”

Benson nodded, "I think so too!" At least the Chinese Empire will not easily negotiate peace with us without obvious defeat in battle, which is certainly a smoke bomb, used to paralyze our will to resist. ”

Woodrow looked at Marshall, who nodded, "I think so too." ”

Woodrow turned to Gore and said: "Although we know that the Chinese Empire may be playing political deception, we also need time to prepare, after all, we have made a mistake in the Mexican issue this time, the situation is very unfavorable to us, we need time to prepare for a long-term war of resistance, and if necessary, we can exchange space for time." ”

Gore nodded and said, "I see!" I will try my best to buy time for our army to prepare! ”

Everyone frowned when they heard Woodrow's decision to trade space for time, which meant that the United States would choose to give up some territory to buy time. Although this strategy is in line with the current situation in the United States, it will certainly not be understood by the people, and the government will be attacked more violently. But no one objected, and they really couldn't do anything better.

Woodrow then asked, "What about the European side?" ”

Gore replied: "The situation in Europe has stabilized, and neither the Entente nor the Central Powers have the energy to fight it, and peace negotiations are being held in Madrid, Spain. Due to the outbreak of the war between the United States and China, we withdrew our troops from Europe, and the transportation of supplies to Europe was stopped, so that the Entente side was unable to fight at all. In addition, the November Revolution in Russia made the red regime a global public enemy, and European governments were afraid that the fight would cause red revolutionary riots in their countries, so they did not dare to threaten to fight again. I estimate that in less than two months, the world war will end. ”

Robert asked: "The Entente side didn't say that they would fight side by side with us and deal with the Chinese Empire together, we are still allies, and we can't watch us being bullied by the Chinese Empire and be indifferent." ”

Gore smiled bitterly: "They don't even dare to mention it, they always shirk and say that the situation in Europe is undecided, and even if the war in Europe is over, they can't afford to get involved in the Sino-American war." Moreover, the Chinese Empire has already sent a note to the countries of Europe that it will only wage war against us. The Allies were even more determined to side with the Chinese Empire, threatening that if the Entente entered the war, the Allies would also re-enter the war. ”

Everyone sighed suddenly, counting on the help of the non-Entente countries.

In the afternoon, the U.S. Congress finally made a decision, the main war faction defeated the main peace faction by one vote, passed a bill to continue the fight against the Chinese Empire, and ended all non-military expenditures, the U.S. economy was completely militarized, and all factories were transferred to the production of weapons, ammunition, and supplies for the U.S. military. i

In this way, for the first time since the Civil War, the United States resumed the militarization of the whole people, and the American economy officially stopped growing and spent all its time on war attrition. After the passage of the bill, the United States implemented a rationing system, and all other materials were sent to the front line, except for the basic daily necessities reserved for the people.

On June 30, the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps captured San Diego, the second-largest naval base in the continental United States. This time, the Chinese Emperor was smarter, and the bombing was no longer the same as when he bombed the Pearl Harbor base, but mainly to attack the living forces of the US military, intimidate the US military's will to resist, save the San Diego base as much as possible, and shorten the maintenance and recovery time after the occupation of the Chinese Emperor.

However, in this way, the Chinese emperor will have to pay a certain price accordingly. In the end, at the cost of sacrificing 2,300 officers and soldiers, 12,000 enemies were annihilated and 45,000 US troops were captured, so that 75 percent of the military facilities of the San Diego base could be preserved, and the Chinese Imperial Engineer Corps only needed three days to restore the main combat functions of the San Diego base, the warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy could enter the port, and the army stopped landing from Mexico and directly from the port of San Diego. Air Force aircraft moved from Mexico and Hawaii to San Diego Air Force Base, where they took off directly to support frontline operations.

In the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, Wang Chenhao also held a pre-imperial meeting to discuss the issue of war against the United States. Unlike the Woodrow government, the atmosphere of this Imperial Council was very pleasant and relaxed.

The military officials could finally raise their heads in front of Wang Chenhao, and the victory of the black blitzkrieg largely made them no longer have to be reprimanded by Wang Chenhao.

Similarly, Wang Chenhao's mood was also much relaxed. Although the performance of the Chinese Emperor made him dissatisfied at the beginning, he once thought that he would fight a protracted war of attrition with the United States for a long time, which was the result that Wang Chenhao was most unhappy to see, and he did not want the national strength that the Chinese Empire had accumulated so hard to be consumed by the United States. However, with the smooth progress of the Black Blitzkrieg, the main force of the Chinese Emperor has landed on the mainland of the United States, and everything has returned to the pre-war battle plan.

"Although the Black Blitzkrieg has won the first stage, it cannot be careless, there are still millions of troops in the United States, and the resistance of the American people cannot be ignored, so as to prevent falling into the American people's war."

Wang Chenhao was happy in his heart, but his face remained calm, because it was not time to praise them and prevent them from being proud.

Of course, even if Wang Chenhao didn't praise them, they were all happy one by one.

Wang Shizhen said: "Your Majesty, although our army has won a brilliant victory in the black blitzkrieg, the officers and men of the whole army dare not slack off. Since yesterday, the Imperial Army and Air Force that have landed in the United States have been ready and are advancing towards Kamchatka and Texas, which are heavily defended by American troops. The navy has finished recuperation and is on its way to the Atlantic, waiting for an opportunity to find the main fleet of the US army for a decisive battle. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "We must also be extremely careful about the decisive battle of the main force of the navy, although I also think that the imperial navy will win, but I can't be careless and be careful of the sailing ships in the gutter." ”

Then, Wang Chenhao asked: "In order to ensure the victory of the Black Blitzkrieg operation, we sacrificed the Bermuda base, and now it is time to recapture it." ”

Wang Shizhen replied: "Wechen has already made a plan to launch an offensive around the recovery of the Bermuda base, induce the main force of the US Navy to appear, and seek an opportunity to eliminate it. ”

Tang Shaoyi interjected: "After the Imperial Army completes the landing on the mainland, it is estimated that there will be no major problems in the war after that. If the Navy wins, the United States will lose the last bargaining chip with the Empire, and then they will have to accede to whatever we want. ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Song Hanzhang suddenly said: "If the United States is defeated and surrenders, how much compensation should we ask?" ”

Zhang Jian, Minister of Industry and Commerce, said with a smile: "With the wealth of the United States, how can they not be allowed to come up with one or two billion dollars!" ”

Everyone sighed suddenly, but they couldn't help but look forward to it and started to talk about it.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from the crowd, and everyone saw that it was Tan Sitong, the minister of the Supreme Procuratorate.

Wang Chenhao asked, "Tan Aiqing seems to have a different opinion?" ”

Everyone suddenly stopped and looked at Tan Sitong, who replied: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it is too early for your lords to start speculating about the issue of reparations for the defeat of the United States now. ”

Wang Chenhao smiled: "! ”

Tan Sitong then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that after the U.S. military captured our Bermuda base, it obtained an advanced Thunderbolt fighter of the empire that could be blown up in the future, and at the same time, the U.S. military salvaged an advanced anti-submarine hunting ship of the empire from the shallow sea, and it is said that a complete sonar system was obtained, and there are other materials that the emperor has not had time to destroy, although it is not a top secret, but for the U.S. military, it is like manna on dry land." ”

Wang Chenhao asked curiously: "Tan Aiqing presided over the procuratorate, and he was able to learn about these news?" ”

Tan Sitong glanced at Li Guodong, the director of the CIA not far away, and replied: "By chance, when Wechen's subordinates were investigating the origin of a CIA official's personal assets, they accidentally intercepted this information, and Wechen has already handed it over to Li Guodong and Master Li. ”

Wang Chenhao looked at Li Guodong, and Li Guodong hurriedly said: "Weichen has not had time to report to Your Majesty." ”

Tan Sitong interjected: "It seems that half a month has passed, Lord Li is really busy with official business?" ”

"This ......" Li Guodong rolled his eyes, glared at Tan Si angrily, and secretly criticized this guy for being really unreasonable, so he insisted on demolishing his platform.

Wang Chenhao looked at Li Guodong and then at Tan Sitong, the two seemed to be a little wrong, so he asked, "What's going on?" ”

Li Guodong then explained: "Your Majesty, although Weichen received a report from American intelligence officers, saying that the US military obtained a relatively well-preserved Thunderbolt fighter plane that fell into the sea, and salvaged a hunting ship from the bay near Bermuda, dismantled the sonar array and went back to study. Wechen is confirming the reliability of the information before reporting it. ”

Wang Chenhao said: "If the US military masters our advanced fighter and sonar technology, it will pose a threat to the imperial air force and submarine fleet. But this kind of thing is inevitable. ”

Li Guodong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Wang Chenhao nodded, and suddenly asked, "But why did the procuratorate investigate the CIA?" ”

Li Guodong was dumbfounded, and Tan Sitong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, recently Weichen has often received anonymous report letters, accusing the CIA and the Homeland Security Agency of abuse of power, many intelligence officers are suspected of abusing lynching, illegal seizure, using the identity of agents to illegally form parties for personal gain, extorting the rich, and even breaking into private houses, coercing victims to provide property transactions or trades, etc., the chief officials of the two major intelligence agencies rely on the favor of the emperor, repeatedly shield their subordinates, and flout the laws of the imperial court. ”

Li Guodong's head suddenly grew several times, and his right eyelid jumped this morning, and it turned out that he had touched a catastrophe. Immediately said angrily: "Ah! Lord Tan, don't spew blood! ”

Tan Si said with the same face: "Your Majesty, during the investigation and evidence collection of Weichen's subordinates, he was rudely summoned by senior officials of the Intelligence Bureau many times, and was detained by unknown people for various crimes, and then threatened to ask the two sides to reconcile privately. They have openly interfered with the Supreme Procuratorate's law enforcement and seriously obstructed the judicial fairness under His Majesty's rule. ”

Li Guodong said angrily: "You are slandering! ”

When Wang Chenhao heard this, he was furious, slapped the royal case violently, and shouted: "Bastard! ”

All the ministers were suddenly excited, it had been a long time since they had seen the scene of fire erupting between the court officials, and now it was the heads of the procuratorial provinces and the supervision provinces among the five provinces of the empire, which was not lively

So they shouted: "Your Majesty is angry! Then they all lowered their heads and peeked at the development of events.

Li Guodong said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Tan Si slandered us with him. ”

"Slander?" Wang Chenhao said angrily: "There is a way that flies do not bite seamless eggs, Tan Sitong has been frank and unrestrained since he presided over the Supreme Procuratorate, I have never seen him slander anyone!" Do you dare to say that your men are innocent? Dare to make a military order? ”

"I, I" Li Guodong hesitated for a while, and finally said because of his lack of confidence: "Your Majesty, I admit that some of my subordinates have inappropriate personal life problems, but they are not as exaggerated as Tan Sitong said!" ”

As soon as Li Guodong's words came out, Wang Chenhao immediately knew that he had a problem to hide, so he angrily scolded Li Guodong and scolded him so much that he was bleeding.

Looking at Li Guodong's sad and bitter appearance, all the ministers were laughing in their hearts one by one, they were usually angry with Li Guodong, but now Tan Sitong was willing to come forward, and everyone naturally admired it. But everyone also understands that with the emperor's temperament, if you don't know, you will definitely find out to the end after you know, and now Tan Sitong and Li Guodong are considered to be married, and the two major inspection provinces of the five provinces of the empire are incompatible.

Then Wang Chenhao turned to Tang Shaoyi and said: "You are responsible for this matter, if anyone obstructs judicial justice, violates the laws of the empire, and despises the imperial court, they will all be held accountable, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly in her heart, and got another hard job, so she said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Scattered!" Wang Chenhao was in a very bad mood and waved his hand to disband.

The master of ceremonies in front of the hall then sang and shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

The ministers then shouted in unison, long live, and bowed and exited the hall.
