"The Americans look like they're resisting!"

When Wang Chenhao received a briefing from the General Staff on the latest situation of the US-Mexico War, he was not too surprised, because everything was expected by him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info╔╗The war potential of the United States is huge, and it is definitely not something that Mexico can easily annex.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Shizhen replied: "Judging from the current situation of the Mexican-American war, the Mexican army's plan to defeat the United States in a blitzkrieg is no longer feasible. The Americans' will to resist was far beyond imagination, and the Battle of Washington lasted for a year, and the Americans' scorched-earth tactics successfully held back the invincible Mexican army. ”

Tang Shaoyi said suddenly: "This proves that His Majesty's strategy of insisting on not going on a long-term war with the United States was correct, if His Majesty had not stopped it back then, the Imperial General Staff would definitely check the national flag over the White House before giving up, with the strength of the US military at that time, if the empire did not end the war in time, I am afraid that it would become an endless war of attrition like today." ”

Wang Shizhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is naturally wise and martial!" Then he glared at Tang Shaoyi angrily, and secretly criticized this guy for not opening which pot to mention, and specially singing against him.

Tang Shaoyi glanced at Wang Shizhen, and seemed to have become accustomed to his staring, so she didn't care.

At this time, Chen Jianguo, the new Minister of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, suddenly said: "If you look at the Mexican-American War economically, the Mexican army in the early stage made great progress, thanks to the huge economic achievements made in the country in recent years, and the national strength has increased. And the United States, though emaciated, camels are bigger than horses. But after all, it was under the full containment of the empire, and the national strength was greatly damaged not long after it had just suffered a serious economic crisis, so it was no match for Mexico. But with the outbreak of the world economic crisis. Mexico's oil and steel exports were hit hard, and the economic crisis inevitably hurt Mexico's vitality, so the follow-up force was insufficient, so it was unable to destroy the United States in one go, and the war was brought to a stalemate. ”

Wang Chenhao glanced at Chen Jianguo, who had been the new Minister of Agriculture and Commerce of the Empire since Zhang Jian's death. Although his ability is not as good as his master Zhang Jian, there are still some aspects that are worth affirming. At least Chen Jianguo grew up in the context of New China. In terms of feudal residual thought, he is much less than his master Zhang Jian, and he is not too deeply imprisoned by feudal thought like Zhang Jian, he is more enlightened in many aspects.

Wang Chenhao praised: "Well said! If you analyze it from the economic aspect, it is indeed true! ”

Chen Jianguo hurriedly thanked him.

Tang Shaoyi asked at this time: "I don't know how long the US-Mexico War will last after entering a state of stalemate?" Who will win in the end? ”

Foreign Minister Cao Rulin blurted out: "Naturally, the longer the better!" The longer they hold each other. The greater the consumption of the national strength of the two countries, the greater the situation in which one will not dominate the post-war Americas. ”

Wang Shizhen shook his head and said, "Maybe the United States will win!" ”

Wang Chenhao asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Wang Shizhen sorted out his thoughts for a moment and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has synthesized all aspects of information. In the war games of the General Staff, most of the results were the final victory of the US military. ”

Wang Chenhao asked: "What is the reason?" ”

Wang Shizhen continued to reply: "There are several reasons. ╔╗First, from the military level. The armored forces of the Mexican army had planned to quickly defeat the United States in a blitzkrieg, but the result was as His Majesty had said. The Americans' bread plus rifles blocked the Mexican flow of mecha tanks. The Mexican army has lost the meaning of the blitzkrieg, and the front is too long. The logistical supply was attacked by American guerrillas, and the elite of the front line suffered heavy losses. The edge of the Mexican army has dimmed. Although the U.S. Self-Defense Forces suffered heavy losses in the early days of the war, the U.S. Self-Defense Forces did not have many troops in the early days, but now they are expanding rapidly, and their total strength has surpassed that of the Mexican Army, and their combat effectiveness is constantly increasing. Second, as Mr. Chen just said, Mexico was no better off being hit hard than the United States, but the United States had already experienced an economic crisis, Roosevelt's New Deal led to a rapid economic recovery in the north, and the Nazi Party's dictatorial economic system was much stronger than Mexico's during the war. Therefore, the economies of the two countries must be the first to recover in the United States. The more they hold each other, the less beneficial it will be for Mexico. In addition, Roosevelt and his Nazi Party have completely controlled the US Self-Defense Forces after a great purge, and there is now only one voice in the entire US military, and that is the voice of Roosevelt, the voice of defeating the Mexican invading army. However, there is still intrigue within the Mexican army, this time the front-line generals did not defeat the United States on time, and the Mexican opposition in the rear has begun to impeach them, and the Mexican army has changed commanders many times, and the constant change of tactics and strategies will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the Mexican army. Fourth, the Mexican army is an invading army, and its will to attack is far inferior to the will of the US military, which is waging a war against aggression. In the contest of wills, the Mexican army has been defeated. ”

Wang Chenhao applauded Wang Shizhen and said with a smile: "That's right! I also believe that the odds of an American victory are growing. According to the report sent back by the intelligence bureau, the US army is preparing a major counteroffensive, but the Mexican army is fighting among themselves, and dozens of senior generals led by the commander of Army Group East, as well as the famous Mexican general known as the "father of Mexican tank warfare" and the commander of Army Group Center, General Carlos, have been generalized in Mexico

Commander Kir was resigned and transferred back to Mexico, where they were responsible for the defeat of the "Washington Offensive and Defensive Battles" and the "Battle of Richmond". Changing generals in battle, this is a taboo for soldiers, the Mexican military is enough, and if there is any more infighting at this juncture, the result can be imagined. ”

Tang Shaoyi suddenly said worriedly: "If Your Majesty's expectation is true, then Mexico may suffer a crushing defeat in the near future, so what should the empire do?" You can't just watch Mexico lose! ”

Everyone immediately looked at Wang Chenhao, waiting for his instructions.

Wang Chenhao smiled and said, "This war is destined to be a draw, whether the United States wins or Mexico has the upper hand, and in the end the empire will intervene." If Mexico wins, we will prevent Mexico from annexing the United States. If the U.S. wins, we'll stop the U.S. invasion of Mexico. In short, no matter how they fight, the final result must return to the state it was before the war. That's the bottom line of the empire. ”

Everyone was surprised at first, and then immediately agreed.

Wang Shizhen said with a smile: "If Your Majesty arranges it this way, then the US-Mexico War will be a lose-lose war after all!" ”

Tang Shaoyi asked, "But what if the victorious side among them does not agree to return to the pre-war state?" ”

Wang Chenhao snorted coldly and said, "Do you think they dare to disobey the will of the empire?" ”

"Both countries are out of breath, and naturally they don't dare to make strong enemies again. Even if they still have the strength, they will not dare to disobey the will of the empire in the face of the powerful military strength of the empire. Wang Shizhen said. looked at Tang Shaoyi and said with a smile: "Lord Tang has always been strategic, why did he make a mistake this time?" ”

Wang Shizhen took the opportunity to ridicule Tang Shaoyi, which made Tang Shaoyi a little embarrassed. Soon Tang Shaoyi's revenge was ruined. ╔╗

At this time, Wang Chenhao said: "The four armies of the empire, land, navy, air and space have not fought for a long time, and the international situation is surging in front of us, and a new world war is brewing. Therefore, it is necessary for the imperial team to conduct appropriate actual combat drills. At the same time, if there is no war for a long time. Tigers are also seen as sick cats. ”

Wang Chenhao's words immediately reminded everyone that the army of the Chinese Empire had a long holiday break, and many of the soldiers of the new generation had never experienced war. If a world war breaks out suddenly, recruits with no real combat experience will suffer. Therefore. Wang Chenhao is telling everyone that it is time to prepare for the next world war.

February 1933. The Mexican-American War has been going on for a year and a half. Although the Mexican army failed to get past Washington, it was also unable to open the sea to Port Rofo. However, the Mexican army won a victory in the southern region, occupying more than two-thirds of the territory of the United States, such as Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

As for the United States, although it experienced a crushing defeat in the early days of the war, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Maine and other important industrial bases and financial centers in the north of the United States were not attacked by the Mexican army, and two-thirds of the national industrial production of the United States was actually concentrated in these states, so even if the Mexican army occupied two-thirds of the country, the remaining one-third of the land is the real core interest area of the United States. Because of this, Roosevelt desperately defended Washington, Richmond and other important cities, preferring to scorch the earth rather than allow the Mexican army to advance north to occupy important industrial and fiscal tax areas in the United States.

As the Mexican-American War entered a stalemate stage, the people of the northern United States did not have to worry about the Mexican army coming soon, and they were able to settle down to produce with peace of mind, so that the national economy of the United States quickly turned into a wartime track, and military production has been restored and developed and expanded at a high speed. On the one hand, the United States is facing the danger of national extinction, and the American nation has reached the most dangerous moment, and the United States, military, and people have made concerted efforts to develop the military industry, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of new weapons and equipment provided to the frontline US Self-Defense Forces, and more than 400,000 US Self-Defense Forces have been upgraded to mechanized units.

At the same time, the United States has also received assistance from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and other countries in large quantities of strategic materials and weaponry. Among them, Britain and France provided the United States with 600 advanced fighter jets, 100 bombers, 500 tanks, 2,000 artillery pieces and 400,000 tons of oil. As traditional allies of the United States, Britain and France should provide emergency military and strategic material assistance to the United States. But surprisingly, Germany and Italy also reached out to the United States.

Although it is unexpected that Germany and Italy support the United States, it is reasonable. First, the world economic crisis has caused the economy of Germany and Italy to suffer a heavy blow, and the export of arms and various strategic materials to the United States can naturally make a large fortune, which will be of great benefit to alleviating the economic crisis in Germany and Italy. Second, attitudes towards the Chinese Empire in Germany and Italy were changing, especially in Germany, which hated the Chinese Empire because of the economic crisis. Mexico is an ally of the Chinese Empire, and Germany and Italy do not dare to compete directly with the Chinese Empire, but it is something they are happy to see in supporting the United States to repair Mexico to strike at the wings of the Chinese Empire. Thirdly, both Germany and Italy were Nazi-fascist dictatorships. In particular, Hitler, the head of German state, admired US President Roosevelt very much. He had a very close personal relationship with Roosevelt, and the United States after Roosevelt came to power actually became a fascist state controlled by the Nazi Party, which was of the same nature as Germany and Italy. Therefore, it is only natural that Germany and Italy will vigorously support the United States. Italy's national strength is poor. The aid provided to the United States is basically civilian goods such as food. This was not the case with Germany, where Hitler wanted to completely pull the United States out of the Entente camp and join the Allies. Therefore, Hitler made a big bargaining chip, not only exporting to the US Self-Defense Forces such advanced weapons and equipment as the No. 2 main battle tank, Focke-Wolf fighter, and Messersmitt bomber, which had been newly developed by Germany, but also sending a considerable number of German pilots and tankers to the United States to stay in the US Self-Defense Forces in the form of consultants, on the one hand, to teach the US military how to use these advanced German weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, to directly participate in the war. ╔╗Help the U.S. Army defeat the Mexican Army. At the same time, Hitler also sent the backbone of his SS to Roosevelt's side to further exchange and cooperate with Roosevelt on the Nazi party organizations in the United States and Germany, and to strengthen relations with the United States.

Tank II was a new tank developed by the German Army to counter the M28A2 main battle tank of the Chinese Empire. However, since it was not possible to accurately grasp the data and performance of the M28A2 main battle tank, the requirements of the German Army Commission for the No. 2 tank could only be based on the main battle tank of Germany's main land hypothetical enemy, France. At the same time, the German Army made extensive use of the No. 1 tank in the Spanish Civil War, but the No. 1 tank did not perform well, and many problems were exposed in its use and actual combat. This gave the German Army valuable experience and made significant improvements to the No. 2 tank. However, the improved No. 2 tank did not catch up with the Spanish Civil War, so when Hitler learned of the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, he considered that he could export it to the American team to make some money. It was also possible to test the actual combat situation of the No. 2 tank, so the No. 2 tank flowed into the United States.

The first Models A to C of the Second Tank were equipped with 30 mm armor made of rolled homogeneous steel. The top and bottom are equipped with 40 mm and 42 mm armor respectively. But with the improvement of weapons, it became clear that this weak armor was already insufficient. This was evident in the Spanish Civil War. As a result, the German Army quickly adjusted the design parameters, and the D, E, F, and G versions of the three tanks produced later were replaced with new 45 mm armor. The H, J, L and M models then covered the surface of the tank with another layer of 40 to 50 mm armor directly behind the tank. However, due to the multi-layered armor in the tail of the second tank, it became a burden to the entire tank, so that the second tank could not fight effectively and had to retreat from the front line.

In the early stages of the design, the Germans intended to use the No. 2 tank as a weapon against enemy tanks against the Imperial Chinese M28 series main battle tanks, and it was intended to equip it with a 50 mm tank gun. However, the German Army's infantry was equipped with 37 mm anti-tank guns, and based on standardization considerations, the War Department believed that the No. 2 tank did not need a 50 mm gun at present, and put the 50 mm gun plan on hold, so it replaced it with 65 mm KWK38L/40 and KWK39L/45 guns to fight against enemy tanks, so as to cope with the development trend of the world's main battle tanks in the next decade. Manufactured by the Krupp company, the gun was still low, but it was capable of firing high-explosive ordnance, and the range was also higher than that of the British three-pounder gun, with 80 rounds of shells and 2,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition on a standard vehicle.

In terms of secondary machine guns, two 7.92 mm machine guns were used in both Tank A to H models, as well as one light machine gun in the body. And from the G model, a coaxial MG34 machine gun was used, as well as a machine gun on the body.

For a tank, mobility is undoubtedly one of the most important parameters. Tanks A to C were equipped with 330 hp 12-cylinder Maybach HL108TR engines, while later models were equipped with 420 hp 12-cylinder Maybach HL120TRM engines, which had good cross-country ability. There is a set of pre-selector gearboxes that provide forward 10 gears and 1 reverse gear. Although this made it easier to drive and change gears, and made the tank more maneuverable than other tanks of the same period, it also made the gearbox structure very complex and difficult to maintain. The H-type was later modified to change the complex 10-stage gearbox to a six-stage manually operated gearbox, and the tracks were widened to withstand the added weight of the modification. The suspension system uses torsion bars developed by Dr. Porsche. It is also relatively much more complex than the leaf spring used in the No. 1 tank, which indirectly leads to the emergence of unfavorable factors such as complex production and complex maintenance of the No. 2 tank.

The No. 2 tank weighed 30 tons and had a total length of 5.52 meters. With a width of 2.90 meters and a height of 2.50 meters, it requires five people to operate the commander, gunner, loader, driver and communicator.

At this time, Germany's material technology has made rapid progress, and German experts have cracked the armored track technology of the Chinese Imperial M16 main battle tank, which was quickly applied by the Germans to the No. 2 tank, making the No. 2 tank track life reach 600 kilometers, plus the maturity of German engine technology. ╔╗ The maximum range of the No. 2 tank reached 155 km, and the maximum speed also reached 40 km/h (flat ground), with excellent maneuverability and combat capability.

Because of this, the US Ground Self-Defense Force is paying great attention to the German tank No. 2. In addition to the direct purchase of the No. 2 tank, it also introduced the production line for its own production, and Germany urgently needed funds because of the economic crisis, and at the same time transferred the technology to the United States. As a result, the U.S. Ground Self-Defense Force has been greatly improved in terms of main battle tanks.

The Focke-Wolf fighter that Germany exported to the U.S. Self-Defense Forces was the pride of the Luftwaffe industry, because the overall combat performance of this fighter was greatly improved, far surpassing the Henkel 100 fighter in service with the Luftwaffe. When the Luftwaffe marketed it to the U.S. military, it claimed that the fighter was the strongest fighter in the world in the next decade. The performance surpasses that of the Hellfire fighter of the Chinese Empire, and even exceeds the Jian-10 Black Hawk fighter in service in the Chinese Empire.

The US military tested this German fighter. The results showed that the performance was about the same as the Germans boasted, for the United States. After the Air Force was banned by the Chinese Empire, it was not at all an opponent of the Mexican Air Force for a short time. If this advanced German fighter can participate in the war, it will be very easy to defeat the Mexican Air Force.

The fighter codenamed FW190 exported by Germany to the United States is an all-metal cantilever upper and lower single-wing daytime fighter, among many German fighters, a 14-cylinder star-shaped air-cooled piston engine is uniquely selected, so the nose appears a little stout, and the tail is very slender, the arched part of the back of the fuselage is a transparent sliding open cockpit canopy, and the rear fuselage is sloping downward, and the downward and backward view is good. The three-point landing gear is stable on the ground after electric retraction, and the main wheel post is tilted forward and inward, which constitutes some of the exterior features of the FW190.

The FW190 program comes from two sources. The first is the accelerated expansion of the Luftwaffe and the Luftwaffe's forecasts for future wars: in a future war more than one fighter is needed, and relying on existing Heinkel fighters alone will not guarantee a leading advantage for the Luftwaffe in the foreseeable future. Secondly, according to intelligence analysis, the air force of a potential adversary has at least two or more types of modern fighters pre-developed and equipped. For example, the most powerful J-10 Black Hawk fighter in the Chinese Empire is said to be far superior in performance to the Hellfire fighter, which was feared by the Luftwaffe.

Therefore, the Luftwaffe drew up a description of the technical requirements for the development of new fighters, which was distributed to all aircraft manufacturers at the end of 1931. Under and under his leadership, the FW190 fighter was designed with a star-shaped air-cooled engine and a compact small fighter structure.

The FW190 fighter has a crew of 8.85 meters, a wingspan of 10.50 meters, a height of 3.96 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 4300 kg, and a BMW W801D-2 high-performance engine, which makes its maximum airspeed reach 634 kilometers per hour and a range of nearly 800, which is enough to meet the operational requirements of various air superiority fighters. Its practical ceiling has also reached 10,300 meters, and the climb rate has reached a speed of 1,250 meters per minute. Its armament system is mounted on the fuselage of the 2XMG17 machine gun and the wing of the 2XMG151/20 cannon, and the fire is very fierce.

This advanced fighter was recognized by the U.S. military, and during the stalemate phase of the Mexican-American War, the U.S. Self-Defense Forces secretly established the Air Force behind the back of the Chinese Empire, and hired Luftwaffe officers as advisers and instructors. The U.S. military introduced a large number of German FW190 fighters, so that the Luftwaffe itself did not equip them, and all the fighters of this type produced were shipped to the United States, and a number of additional production lines were opened in the United States for large-scale production. ╔╗In the early days, because of the lack of pilots in the US Self-Defense Forces, Hitler generously gave Roosevelt 400 elite Luftwaffe. Joined the U.S. Self-Defense Force Air Force as a volunteer to prepare for combat against the Mexican Air Force.

Similarly, the German modified Messersmitt bomber was introduced directly to the United States, where it was produced and assembled at a civil aircraft factory in Maine. During the Mexican-American War, the U.S. military produced a total of 200 Messersmitt improved bombers, and formed the first strategic bomber wing of the U.S. military since the Sino-American War.

It can be said that after the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the US Self-Defense Forces received help from four of the world's five major military powers, while the Chinese Empire, another military power, continued to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, which means that Mexico directly went to war with Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States, and the Mexican army's military equipment at this time obviously no longer has an advantage.

Late July. The last and 1011th battle of the Washington Offensive was fought again. After the change of the new commander of the elite First Army of Mexico, in order to give an account to the Mexican military high command, it was decided to launch a large-scale offensive against Washington. Get ready to scoop down Washington in one go.

At the beginning of the battle, the U.S. Self-Defense Forces command decided to let the troops around Washington resist for a while, as a bait to attract the main Mexican army, and the main force of the U.S. military began to detour left and right, preparing to counter-encircle the main Mexican army. And then to achieve the goal of annihilating the main force of the Mexican army.

After a year of attrition, the U.S. forces in Washington were already very weak, and the Washington Army was helpless to throw two tank divisions that were being formed into battle. Due to the use of improvised tanks urgently modified by the Americans with tractor chassis, they are not at all an opponent of the M16 main battle tanks equipped with the Chinese Empire. As a result, in less than three days, two tank divisions were completely annihilated by the Mexican Tank Army. But the U.S. military has also bought time to prepare.

End of July. The Mexican Army transferred the 4th Panzer Corps from Texas to support the attack on Washington. In the Washington direction, the strength of the Mexican army soon increased to 750,000 men, supported by 1,740 tanks, 430 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, 240 anti-tank fighting vehicles, 9,400 artillery pieces and 1,800 aircraft. The US Army's Washington Group Army was hastily formed on the basis of complete collapse after being besieged and attacked by the Mexican Army for a year, with only 18 full divisions and 16 dissatisfied divisions, and 160,000 combat troops, most of whom were new recruits, with nearly 400 old-fashioned tanks and more than 600 old-fashioned aircraft, and their combat effectiveness was very weak.

Although the Mexican Army was vigilant about this, General Camigill, commander of the First Army of the Mexican Army, believed that as long as Washington was occupied in a short period of time, the US military's counter-encirclement tactics would be self-defeating, so he had confidence in himself.

Just like the final battle at the table, the appearance of the rival card will shatter the opponent's dreams at once.

The Mexican Army made good progress at the beginning of the battle, and despite the stubborn resistance of the American Army, the Mexican Army broke through the layers of American defenses, and on September 13, the Mexican Army broke through the city of Washington again and occupied two-thirds of the territory of the District of Columbia. , and once captured the White House, which had become a ruin, but was recaptured by the US military at night.

At this critical moment, Roosevelt ordered all the officers and men of the Washington Army Group not to retreat and to defend the dignity of the United States in battle; with the cooperation of the German Nazi Party, the US SS Army formed by Roosevelt entered Washington and carried out battlefield military punishment on the US officers and men who had escaped from the battle and lost their positions, and all of them were shot, forcing the US officers and men not to dare to take a step back.

As a result, the resistance of the U.S. military was unusually stubborn, and the battle with the Mexican invading army became extremely fierce, and even the struggle for a block or even a building had to pay a huge price in casualties. By the end of September, the U.S. military had held only a narrow strip of less than 2 kilometers deep in Tacoma National Park, but the Mexican forces were unable to fully occupy Washington, and the two sides held out until November. During this period, more than 100,000 American troops were killed, and more than 3,200 were shot by Roosevelt's SS. The whole of Washington was full of corpses, rivers of blood, and heavy snow became the only collector of corpses for the American and Mexican armies.

At dawn on November 15, the U.S. Ground Self-Defense Force launched a blizzard plan to begin a large-scale counteroffensive near Washington. The U.S. military dispatched more than 3,000 fighter planes to conduct the first air decisive battle with the Mexican Air Force, and after a week of air decisive battle, the Self-Defense Forces Air Force relied on the powerful FW-190 fighter group. In one fell swoop, the Mexican Air Force's Hellfire A fighter wing and Thunderbolt fighter wing were crushed and air supremacy was seized.

On the 23rd, more than 2,000 tanks and 440,000 troops of the US Self-Defense Forces were covered by more than 1,200 fighters and more than 400 bombers. In one fell swoop, it defeated the first ace of the Mexican First Army, and successfully cut off the retreat of the Mexican Army, and surrounded all of the First Army of the Mexican Army.

When Mexican President Kiir learned of the news, he ordered the Mexican army to "fight to the last soldier, soldier, shot, and bullet," and ordered General Carlos to lead the 4th and 5th armored heavy armies of Army Group East to carry out the rescue, but they were blocked by the US forces.

Typical encirclement tactics, but at this time the Mexican command has already regretted it.

On December 10, the U.S. military launched a general offensive. By February 2, 1933, the U.S. military had completely annihilated the Mexican First Army, which had attacked Washington, D.C., thus fundamentally turning the tide of the U.S.-Mexico theater. The victory of the US military in the Battle of Washington brought about a historic turning point in the Mexican-American War. And the Battle of Washington became the most brutal battle in history. In total, about 5 million people on both sides have died in the rubble, 1.5 million of them American civilians.

After the Battle of Washington, the U.S. Army pursued the victory and continued to advance towards West Virginia and North Carolina, and the main force of the Mexican Army Center was destroyed. As a result, Army Group Center was forced to retreat, and in order to avoid being completely annihilated by the American army, the Mexican Army decided to concentrate superior forces in the salient of Fort Harrison, a fortified area in West Virginia, in an attempt to block the two New York State Army Group and Pennsylvania Army Group in that direction. Launched the last offensive battle of the Mexican Army in the Mexican-American War, the Battle of Fort Harrison, which the Mexican Army gave the code name "Straight Fist".

The U.S. military seized air supremacy. Therefore, it was soon discovered that the main force of the Mexican Army was retreating on all fronts, and the Mexican Army at Fort Harrison was nothing more than a broken force. Thereupon. The U.S. military, with the help of local guerrillas, quickly cut off the logistical support system of the Mexican Army at Fort Harrison. The U.S. military mobilized more than 520,000 troops, equipped with more than 3,400 tanks, and served as the general reserve of the Maine Army. The Mexican army used for the Harrison Fort direction has its own strength of 100,000 men, a total of 5 divisions, and uses 4 of them to form two assault groups, which are equipped with 500 tanks.

In the early morning of the 5th, the decisive battle of Fort Harrison began, but in the face of the extremely stubborn defense of the American army, the Mexican army's offensive had little effect. On the 12th, the two sides had a tank encounter in the small village of Charlotti, the gateway to the southern flank of the Fort Harrison salient, the Mexican army invested all 500 tanks to participate in the battle, while the U.S. army invested 800 tanks to participate in the battle, although the U.S. tanks were many, but they could not be placed here, and hundreds of planes on both sides provided support, but soon the Mexican Air Force was repelled by the U.S. Air Force, resulting in the Mexican Army losing air supremacy.

Fierce fighting lasted all day, and one of the largest tank battles in the history of world military broke out when the boiling stream of tanks plus infantry, artillery and aviation converged into a small village. At dusk, the German No. 2 tank used by the U.S. Army defeated the Chinese Imperial M16 main battle tank used by the Mexican Army, and achieved a key victory in this decisive battle.

On the 23rd, the U.S. Army broke through Fort Harrison to regain all of Virginia, and the Battle of Fort Harrison ended in a complete victory for the U.S. Army. Although all the 100,000 Mexican troops left here were reimbursed, it bought time for the Mexican army's remaining 1.2 million to retreat, so that the Mexican army could avoid the fate of being completely annihilated by breaking into the heart of the United States.

However, the situation of the entire U.S.-Mexico battlefield has been reversed, and the 400,000 elite mechanized troops that the Mexican Army is proud of are only less than 50,000 at this time, and only 150,000 after replenishment, while the mechanized troops of the U.S. Army are in the midst of a surge, and by the end of the Battle of Fort Harrison, the U.S. Army's armored forces have reached 700,000, which is absolutely overwhelming over the Mexican Army.

In the battle of the Mississippi River, the Mexican army thought that the Mississippi River was in danger of blocking the U.S. army, but unexpectedly, the Mexican Army's 46th Army, which was responsible for the Paducah area of the upper reaches of the Mississippi River, fled without a fight, and as a result, the U.S. army easily crossed the river, and its armored troops quickly went south along the Mississippi River, chasing and fighting the Mexican army on the riverbank, resulting in the Mexican Army's defense line of the Mississippi River, which was considered a natural danger, to be completely broken in less than a week.

In June 1934, the 530,000 troops of the Mexican Army Group Center were driven by the U.S. Army to Louisiana before the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the 340,000 troops of Army Group West were forced to retreat into the Demilitarized Zone of California, and the 320,000 troops of Army Group East were driven by the U.S. Army to Miami, the southernmost part of Florida.

Mexico's defeat was a foregone conclusion, and for this reason, the Mexican president urgently took a special plane to visit China and asked the Chinese Empire to send troops to rescue him.

Wang Chenhao, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, immediately convened an emergency imperial meeting, although Wang Chenhao expected the defeat of the Mexican army, but he did not expect that the Mexican army would be so unbearable, beaten so badly, and defeated too quickly.

"Sure enough, it came and went quickly!"

Wang Chenhao couldn't help sighing, although he felt that the Mexicans were too uncompetitive, but the matter had come to this point, the Chinese Empire would not give up Mexico as an ally, and it would definitely be saved.

Fortunately, Wang Chenhao had already ordered the Imperial General Staff to prepare for military intervention in the Mexican-American War to prevent either side from winning. This plan has been carefully deduced and prepared by the General Staff, and when Kiel came to China for help, Wang Chenhao immediately ordered the Cabinet and the General Staff to act according to the original plan.

On June 3, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire sent a note to the U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanding that the U.S. and Mexico cease all military operations and return to the negotiating table on the grounds that the Mexican-American War had killed too many innocent civilians and violated the League of Nations Humanitarian Convention. At the same time, two aircraft carrier battle groups and three battleship battle groups of the Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy sailed for the east coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. Among them, the 2nd Carrier Battle Group and the 4th Battleship Battle Group directly broke into the port of Miami, Florida, preventing the US military from striking the final blow against the more than 300,000 Mexican troops cowering in Miami. In addition, the 4th Carrier Strike Group and the 2nd Battleship Strike Group emerged near the Port of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico to deter the U.S. Self-Defense Forces as they prepared to march toward Louisiana. At the same time, the First Aircraft Carrier Strike Group of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which was in the Pacific Ocean, also arrived on the west coast of the United States, and the carrier-based planes of the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force, which took off from the aircraft carrier Wudangshan, flew into the demilitarized zone of California and drove away the US fighters and bombers that were bombing the Mexican army.

This series of actions made the Roosevelt administration and the US Self-Defense Forces very nervous. Fortunately, MacArthur issued a strict order in time to control the US military to avoid a direct conflict with the Chinese Imperial Navy and naval aviation, and took the initiative to avoid it.

On the one hand, Roosevelt lodged a strong protest to the Chinese Empire through diplomatic channels, saying that the Chinese Empire did not intervene at the beginning of the US-Mexico War, and did not dare to wait until the United States gained the upper hand, obviously favoring Mexico, and expressing the strong dissatisfaction of the Roosevelt administration and people. On the other hand, Roosevelt consulted with MacArthur and other senior officers of the Self-Defense Forces Command to determine the success rate and time required to continue the military operation against Mexico, as well as to assess the possible military involvement of the Chinese Empire.

Since the Chinese Empire and the Republic of Mexico have a security treaty, the Chinese Empire is obliged to send troops to help Mexico defend its territory in the event of an invasion of Mexico itself. This treaty has not yet expired, and MacArthur believes that looking at the current attitude of the Chinese Empire, I am afraid that if the US military continues to attack the Mexican army, it may provoke military intervention from the Chinese Empire.

Roosevelt knew very well that the United States at this time could not fight hard with the Chinese Empire, although Roosevelt was very unwilling, but he had to admit that this was the case, and he had no choice but not to give in.
