Year. [No pop-up novel network] moon day. He and the Marines made a formal public statement to the U.S. authorities before the attack on Philadelphia, announcing their acceptance of the unconditional surrender demands of the Intensive Group, and ordering the U.S. forces to cease all operations, i.e., a temporary ceasefire.

According to common sense, the Third World War ended on this day.

It is a pity that the intensive bloc of representatives of the republics did not put the "declaration of surrender" of the United States. As a matter of fact, that is, no ceasefire order was issued to the front-line troops.

The war continues!

There is only one reason: the "declaration of surrender" of the US authorities does not mention to whom to surrender or when. There was no order to disarm the front-line troops who wanted to disarm the nearest intensive group army. More importantly, the US authorities did not express any attitude on the issue of signing the surrender agreement.

In other words, the "surrender statement" of the United States is just a statement, a delaying tactic.

Because the necessary conditions for a surrender declaration were not in place, the intensive bloc with the Republic as the republican did not accept the surrender of the United States.

At that time, the American authorities really needed time. That is, the time for Europe to intervene.

Indeed, a few hours after the US authorities announced their surrender, the White House and the Pentagon issued orders for US troops fighting overseas to surrender to the troops of the nearest European CSTO member state and wait for resettlement and demobilization.

Obviously, this order can be said to be insignificant.

At the time of this order, only the tens of thousands of US troops deployed in Guyana, South America, could surrender to the French troops stationed in French Guiana, the US troops stationed in Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Uruguay could only surrender to the troops of the member countries of the intensive bloc, and the US troops trapped in the Pacific islands could only surrender to the Republican ** team. Although the United States had basically lost its overseas bases at that time, and most of the troops scattered overseas were forced to remain because they had no way to withdraw to their homeland, the American authorities refused to relent, that is, they did not intend to surrender to the Republic and the members of the intensive group. Not to mention the sincerity of the US authorities.

The problem is that the butcher's knife has already been raised, and if the American authorities do not show sincerity, Philadelphia will become a second New York!

By this time, the republic's determination to fight had become very clear, that is, if the U.S. authorities refused to surrender, the republic would establish a new regime after the capture of Washington, and take the opportunity to form a new U.S. military and use the Americans to fight the Americans.

In this regard, the Republic has already let out the wind, and Chan has been recruiting volunteers in the war refugee camps at the beginning of the month.

If we really want to get to this point, the United States will lose the most!

There is no doubt that the US authorities will definitely choose to surrender, otherwise they will not make a "surrender statement." "It's just that the American authorities cannot immediately surrender to the republic!

That night, French troops stationed in French Guiana crossed the border and took control of the US military base in Guyana. Subsequently, the French authorities, as an exhibiting country, made air moves into Colombia, Peru and Ecuador via Venezuela. By the afternoon of the next day, the French airmobile unit had entered the small Bolivian area and took control of the U.S. military bases in Paraguay and Uruguay. If it weren't for the limited range of the French tactical transport planes, I am afraid that within this time, they would have controlled many islands in the Pacific controlled by the United States.

There is no doubt that the actions of the French army were mainly symbolic.

You must know that when the United States announced its surrender, there were less than 10,000 French troops stationed in French Guiana, and more than half of them were civilians, and there were more than four people in charge of the security of the Kourou Space Control Center, which is the only space launch and control center of the European Space Agency. It is precisely this that the authorities of the republic did not realize. The French army was able to control the U.S. occupation zone of nearly a quarter of South America so quickly, and by the time the authorities of the Republic reacted, the occupation of the French army in South America had become a fact, and it was impossible to change this unless the authorities of the Republic intended to turn against Europe

True.

The only thing to be thankful for the authorities of the Republic is that the Eurolegion is still very limited in strength and even more limited in experience. In the case of the situation, if the European Army had been coordinated, it would probably not have been possible to wait for the authorities of the Republic to react. The European Legion landed on the North American continent and stood in the streets of Ottawa and Washington. Although the occupation forces sent to the United States and Canada will certainly not be able to pass through the Republic, or even compare with the vast majority of the members of the Intensive Group, as long as European soldiers appear on the streets of Washington, the authorities of the Republic will have to accept the fait accompli that Europe is already an occupying power of the United States, and that the United States has a European presence after the war. Obviously, this is exactly what the authorities of the Republic are trying to avoid, otherwise the war would have ended more than a year ago.

In fact, it is not that the Eurocorps is not in place. It's the Republican ** team that reacts faster.

According to information published after the war, on the day of the mouth of the month, the US authorities expressed a "declaration of surrender." Less than four hours later, Eurocorps transport planes took off from England with the intention of crossing the Atlantic. Landing at airports in Canada and the United States. Then take control of major cities in Canada and the United States, including Ottawa and Washington. Whether it is a coincidence or not, this batch of transport planes that took off from the United Kingdom was not equipped with the latest friend or foe response recognition soft Yi Xun Shu Shun Xuan Xuan Xun Failure to produce a correct identification signal of friend or foe. Although there were no hostile countries east of the Yar Islands at that time, and the characteristics of these transport planes were so obvious that they could be identified by radar, the Republic Navy did not receive instructions to release them, so they sent fighter jets to intercept them. Even though there was no exchange of fire between the two sides, when they were intercepted by fighter jets, the commander of Ouzhou Junwang did not dare to hold it up and issued an order to return home.

Neither the authorities of the Republic nor the authorities of Europe made a big deal out of it.

There is reason to believe that the top brass of the republic immediately received the news, and the leaders of the European countries immediately received the news that the transport group had been intercepted and had to return to the middle of the Atlantic. There is even more reason to believe that in order to prevent the situation from expanding. The top brass on both sides took a relentless stance and exchanged attitudes on the matter by calling a hotline after the Eurocorps transport fleet returned. According to the recollections of some Republican personnel who experienced this incident, the leaders of several major European countries, including France, Germany, and Italy, claimed that the transport planes were carrying some Canadians and Americans stranded in Britain, and that these people were not welcome because Britain had already announced its surrender. Repatriation is required. What's more, they are civilians, not military personnel. There are no war camps in Europe, so they cannot be accommodated. In order to ensure the safety of civilians, European countries can only mobilize transport planes to send them back. The Republican authorities were also very direct in their response to the quibbles of European countries, that the Republic's war camps could accommodate the Canadians and Americans, and that they were willing to take on the job of demobilization. If Europe needs to repatriate them, they can wait until after the war is over.

Of course, the leaders of the European countries immediately rejected the offer of the leaders of the republics on the grounds that they were inconvenient during the war and did not want to increase the burden of the war on the republic. There is no doubt that this is not the end of the story.

After the two leaders connected the hotline, the Eurocorps expanded its air defense patrol area to the mid-Atlantic. Although the war is not over yet. European countries have a reason to expand their air defense patrol zones. If it were not for the limited combat radius of the fighter, it could even be further extended to the western waters of the Atlantic. However, at that time, only two hostile countries remained, the United States and Canada, and without participating in combat operations on the North American continent, there was no reason for European countries to expand their air defense patrol areas. Thus. The fundamental purpose of this move by the European countries is to force the Republic to withdraw the fleet deployed in the Yar Islands, and then use transport planes to send ground troops to Canada and the United States, so as to occupy Yatawa and Washington before the Republican ** team, and gain the strategic initiative.

In response to this move by European countries, the authorities of the republic have made only one arrangement, which is to deploy more fleets to the mid-Atlantic region!

Of course, only the air fleet, and not the main one.

For those air fleets that can continue to sail tens of thousands of nautical miles at a slash level and operate in the western waters of the North Atlantic, it only takes about 20 hours for carrier-based fighters to go to the skies over the waters of the Yar Islands and strengthen their air forces in the middle of the Atlantic.

There is no doubt that the Navy of the Republic will not be so easy to deal with.

According to the information published after the war, the order given to the Navy by the High Command of the Republic was to prevent the European corps from crossing the Atlantic at any cost. Although it is not mentioned in any material that the Navy of the Republic could preemptively fire, there is reason to believe that if the transport group of the Eurolegnik crossed the median line of the Atlantic, the fighters of the Navy of the Republic would open fire before reaching the North American continent. Because the Eurocorps could not provide full escort for the transport fleet, and could not even accompany the fleet across the Atlantic with other aircraft except chargers and bombing buckles, the Eurocorps did not wait for the opportunity to send its troops to the other side of the Atlantic with transport planes under the threat of the Republic's naval fighters.

The problem is that there is no other way to cross the Atlantic than by air.

You know, by the end of the war, the Republic had replaced the previous auxiliary ships with the highest sailing force and the air fleet, and built a number of such auxiliary ships for the amphibious fleet. At that time, the European countries, especially France and Italy, each had a fleet that was not too small, and the French fleet had three aircraft carriers, so France also had several auxiliary ships of this kind of sailing. More importantly, after the surrender of the British. The countries of continental Europe had no difficulty getting half of the Royal Navy. Although the Royal Navy's large warships were either sunk in previous battles or left for the United States before the British surrendered, and the European countries were given only a few small, medium, small and non-combat ships, among these non-combat ships were more than a dozen integrated supply ships that sailed up to Qinjie and were designed to transport valuable military supplies across the Atlantic.

There is no doubt that these fast ships can be used to carry combat troops, and a fast integrated supply ship with a carrying capacity of 10,000 tons can carry at least one infantry brigade. More importantly, these fast ships were able to sail across the North Atlantic in an hour and send the ground forces of the European Legion to the North American continent. The Navy of the Republic used fighter jets to threaten and block the transport fleet of the European Legion, and faced the fast ships of the European Legion. In addition to the impact. You can only use shells and missiles! I really want to be in the palace. Not to mention firing, even if it is rammed with a battleship, it means a break with Europe.

The authorities of the Republic do not want the situation to go so far, and the Navy of the Republic knows that it cannot be allowed to go so far.

In response, the Navy of the Republic found a very ingenious solution, which was to expand the air defense patrol area, like the European Legion. Expansion of anti-submarine patrol zones as a means of restricting the maritime activities of the Eurocorps. What's more, the Navy of the Republic has done a great job. Directly declare the entire North Atlantic as an anti-submarine patrol zone. To know. In accordance with the regulations of the intensive group, in order to ensure the safety of the transport fleet, the Navy of the Republic has a reason to issue orders to all ships of other countries in the anti-submarine patrol area, that is, in the sea area where enemy submarines are frequent, and the ships of other countries are required to obey the orders of the Navy of the Republic unconditionally. Failure to do so will be regarded as disobedience, and the Navy of the Republic has the right to seize ships and, in the event of resistance, to use lethal force to maintain order.

In fact, this is tantamount to giving the republic's navy the power of life and death, or rather, recognizing the republic's maritime supremacy.

After all, during the war, American submarines were very rampant, and about forty percent of the materials and equipment lost by the intensive group were the masterpieces of American submarines. And this had a serious impact on the combat operations of intensive groups. There is no doubt that Europe is also a victim, for example, after the defeat of Russia. At one time, the Republic cited the unsafe navigation at sea. Refusing to honor the promise made by Europe before entering the war that it did not send the weapons and equipment that European countries needed. By the time "maritime security" is resolved and the republic decides to fulfill its promises, the European countries will no longer need the weapons and equipment of the republic.

The problem is that at this juncture, the intention of the Navy of the Republic must have been to prevent European countries from sending troops to the North American continent by sea.

Of course, this is not enough to completely block the European legion's way to cross the sea.

You know, before the outbreak of the Great War; France has the world's fourth-largest navy, the United States, the Republic and the United Kingdom, the Italian navy is ranked sixth behind Russia, the German navy is also in the top ten, and the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and other countries have not too bad navies. Plus a long maritime tradition, so the navies of Europe are not too bad. By the end of the year, counting the British Royal Navy, the European Legion had 4 fleets. Although there was only one main fleet in it. The scale of the other three air fleets is not very large, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the combat fleet of the navy of the republic, but the fleet is not the same as the fleet, and in the anti-submarine patrol area, the warships of any country do not need to obey the command of the navy of the republic, and have the right of free navigation. Other words. In the event that a fleet cannot be dispatched, the European Legion can send ground forces to the North American continent with warships.

In response to this problem, the choice of the Navy of the Republic was to invite the Eurocorps for joint anti-submarine operations

Train.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the navy, the authorities of the Republic also sent a note to the governments of Germany and the Netherlands at this time, stating that they could transfer the naval technology previously proposed by the two countries at an appropriate time, help the two countries improve their navies, and allow the two countries to obtain modern shipbuilding technology second only to the Republic. Because the republican authorities did not send a note to France and Italy, many Europeans believed that the republican authorities were deliberately dividing Europe. To know. In addition to Britain, France is the traditional maritime power of Europe, and Italy is not weak in naval strength and has always dreamed of dominating the Mediterranean. Although Germany also had its glory days, during the First World War, Germany was not only the most powerful industrial country in Europe, but also had the most powerful army in Europe. It also had the second largest navy in the world after the United Kingdom, but after that, even in World War II, when German armored forces swept across the continent. Germany is a veritable maritime weakness. After World War II, Germany, as a defeated country, was even less likely to have a decent navy. It can be said that without the threat from the Red Reich, Germany could not even have a regular navy. The question is. Germany also never gave up on its dream of becoming a maritime power. The Republic of China at this time to Germany and the Netherlands, although the Netherlands has a glorious maritime history and was once known as the coachman of the sea, but the Netherlands is thin and has few people. There is no capital to become a maritime power at all. Merely providing advanced shipbuilding technology and military technology mainly for naval construction is obviously creating contradictions within Europe.

More importantly, the authorities of the Republic did not play tricks and did provide Germany and the Netherlands with advanced technology.

Due to these factors, the combat operations of European countries to send troops to the North American continent remained in the planning stage, and although attempts were made after that, as the war drew to an end, the United States could no longer afford to consume it. The hopes of the European Army landing on the North American continent were also becoming increasingly slim.

The United States really could not afford to procrastinate, and after the last bit of hope was dashed, unconditional surrender became the only option for the American authorities.
