Time is running out for China!

When the huge U.S. and British fleets circled South America and sailed to Panama on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, Chinese transport ships and steamships could no longer be unscrupulous, and without even a single frigate, they boldly traveled back and forth between Hawaii and the west coast of North America.

It was at that time that the Chinese battle in North America really began!

Available for Grover in the White House. Cleveland and Walter. Quentin. For Gresham, one defeat after another is really not good news. They could not pin all their hopes on the Combined Fleet, the British were not good birds. Otherwise their North American and West Indian fleets would have been dispatched long before the Chinese occupied the Vancouver area. Isn't it just trying to let the Chinese swallow the interests of the United States as much as possible? In recent years, the industrial capacity of the United States has surpassed that of Britain and France, which of course makes the British vigilant. It's just that this dirty plan hasn't been shown in the open.

Moreover, the Chinese army is so strong that even if their rear sea transportation is cut off, the Chinese defense forces that have already taken California, Nevada, Idaho, Washington, and the British Vancouver region, and tightly wrapped Oregon in the occupied area, can use American factories to produce all the materials needed for the war on their own.

There are no well-known arms factories or companies on the west coast of the United States, and the industrial and agricultural manufacturing production capacity of these states is very average except for California, and even except for California, the population of the rest of the regions does not exceed 500,000. The production of bullets, shells and simple rifles and grenades is not a problem.

As for the complex production lines of cannons and machine guns, they have long been delivered domestically to California.

However, there is a shortage of workers in these factories. There is also a shortage of fuel. All the fuel for armored vehicles and tanks that have landed in North America was bought from Mexico by Chinese capital in the United States before. There are also some that are shipped from within the country.

Not withdrawing from the United States is also one of the means to confuse the United States. The purchased oil, after several changes of hands, was properly hidden in California and Washington without the attention of the U.S. government.

In any case, according to domestic capabilities, as long as the armored forces fighting in North America cross the Mississippi River, the possibility of fuel supply still being able to keep up is very small.

Now there are less than 400,000 Wehrmacht troops landing in North America, troops for operations, troops for the front line. Pitifully few. Before the combined fleet of the United States and Britain arrived in Panama, according to the strategy of the General Staff, the naval transport force had to transport not only more than 100,000 troops to the North American continent, but also hundreds of thousands of tons of military supplies and at least 30,000 workers.

Thus, when naval warfare affected the transportation routes from Hawaii to North America, the Wehrmacht would have at least 500,000 troops and 50,000 workers. This included at least 50,000 Japanese soldiers and 10,000 Japanese workers. Almost all of them were recruited from Southwest Japan.

With the sudden reversal of the situation in the South Seas, with the war on the Western Front, the world was turned upside down. Tokyo, Japan has wilted.

Their war with southwestern Japan lasted less than two months, and they took the initiative to end the war they had started in the form of land cession. The national border of Honshu in southwest Japan has taken another big step towards Kyoto.

Southwest Japan is also receiving good news. They are well aware of their own inadequacy. Compared with the Japanese government in Tokyo, which has been funded by Britain, France, the United States and other countries in recent years, southwest Japan has the upper hand in terms of population, finance, and industry. Even in Tokyo, Japan's 'prosperity' was 'borrowed' by Okubo Ritsu, Ito Hirobumi and others in the form of loans. But the Tokyo government has such a strong industrial and military production capacity in its hands.

Of course. In recent years, the small life of the Japanese government in the southwest has not been bad. The Chinese developed Nanyang, in addition to recruiting fellow villagers from Fujian and Liangguang and introducing immigrants. It also relieved the population pressure on the Japanese government in the southwest. Recruitment, immigration, and the ever-present Wehrmacht, the Japan Advance Force. They correspond to the peasant contact and samurai classes of southwestern Japan.

Under the leadership of the southwest government, the low-level samurai to which they belonged finally had something to eat. Many Japanese who joined the Stand Up Team, the Northwest and Siberian Reclamation Teams, although they did everything possible to stay in China, they all sent a lot of money back to their hometowns while picking up their families. Because there are few people like Wu Silang, who have the ability to bring their parents, children, brothers and sisters, and all their relatives to China, and all of them join the Chinese state, and the nationality in the household registration book is written - Han.

Wu Silang became a legendary figure not only in southwestern Japan, but also in the whole of Japan, including Tokyo Japan. Especially as China grows stronger, Wu Silang's 'legend' will be higher, and more Japanese people will envy and yearn for it.

Southwest Japan has a weak foundation, and it is impossible for Liu Xian to allocate funds to accelerate the industrial construction of Southwest Japan under the condition that domestic industrial construction funds are tight, so 15 years have passed, and the gap between Southwest Japan and Tokyo in terms of industrial construction has not only not narrowed, but has even increased.

The arsenals and iron and steel plants owned by the Japanese government in southwest China were only as large as the first phase of the steel plant built by Liu Xian in Qinzhou, and they could not complete the armament of their own army on their own.

The Japanese government in Tokyo is heavily indebted and heavily indebted. However, they built many modern factories and railroads to connect the counties, and the growth in shipbuilding, munitions manufacturing, and steel industry was remarkable.

It's just that it's been hard to run. Because Japan has no markets in China and North Korea, and even their own domestic markets are only two-thirds left, and they still have to face competition from Chinese manufacturing, Japan's industrial development has congenital limitations.

At the end of the 19th century, no country was able to break away from the market and thrive on its own industry and manufacturing.

In the past, Japan's industrial manufacturing products were mainly exported to Nanyang and Siam. But now, Nanyang and Siam have all become China's sphere of influence and territory, and the industrialization of Tokyo and Japan has reached a dead end.

The quality is poor, the technology is backward, and the cost is high and the price is expensive. These are the impressions that Japanese products make in the market. The Japanese government in Tokyo is now much stronger than in the southwest, but they will continue to follow the current path, either self-destruction or a war against Korea and China with a determined heart. In the end, it will be perdition!

As for the southwest government, if it has no money to develop industry, it will not develop it first. They have become the occupied market of Chinese manufacturing, but they have also tied themselves to the big ship of China. At the expense of industry, in exchange for the opportunity to play with China.

Under the guidance and funding of China's major silk shops and textile companies, Southwest Japan has developed the raw silk industry, signed purchase agreements with farmers in Southwest Japan, stipulating product quality and prices, and the income of many Japanese farmers has skyrocketed many times.

The development of the raw silk industry in southwest Japan has unnaturally affected grain production, but southwest Japan, which has China as its back, has continued to decline in grain prices in recent years. This has further led to a shift in Japanese agriculture to cash crops, with rice cultivation areas greatly weakened and grain production decreasing! Naturally, the Japanese government in southwest Japan will be closer to Beijing, and Beijing will be able to control the lifeblood of southwest Japan more easily.

……

In mid-October, Beijing began to see its second snow of the year. Good news came one after another from the battlefields of the Western Front, the troops of the Southern Theater of Operations had conquered Astrakhan, a city on the Volga Delta. The night raid by the airship force severely damaged the Russian Caspian Flotilla, and now the remnants of the Russian Caspian Flotilla have retreated to Baku.

And the southbound troops led by Shi Donglai are now approaching Baku. The main forces in the Russian Caucasus have all been evacuated at the previous time, and only a few 20,000 or 30,000 people are left, and there is only a similar number of militias urgently formed by the local Russian government.

The Wehrmacht was targeting Baku. It is the world's most productive oil field, the earliest oil field in Europe, and the birthplace of the modern oil industry. The annual oil production here is almost twice that of the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation and the Nanyang Petroleum Company combined, and half of the world's oil production. The industrial center of the South Caucasus, where it is located, is Russia's oil base.

This is a place that China must get its hands on. And move quickly, not only to keep the wells, but also the refineries. Many armored vehicles, tanks, and trucks of the Wehrmacht can be counted on here for future fuel consumption.

On 20 October, Shi Donglai's telegram reached Liu Xian, and the Wehrmacht occupied Baku without bloodshed, the remaining warships of the Russian Caspian Fleet surrendered, and all the oil wells, refineries, and oil storage warehouses in Baku were well preserved. More than 1 million barrels of crude oil and more than 50,000 tons of diesel, gasoline, lubricating oil, and other refined oil products have also been seized.

After getting the message, Liu Xian couldn't sleep that night with excitement. He feels that he is completely 'destiny', it doesn't matter if the Russian's brain is in water, it is okay to be kicked by a donkey, it is okay to be caught by a door, anyway, the thing has already fallen into his own hands, this is a fact!

Just think about it, next year, there will be no need to worry about the fuel of the armored forces, and his heart will also fly into the sky.

The battle in the Volga Valley was also coming to an end, and the Wehrmacht's combat strength was not at all what the defenders there could resist, not to mention that the number of defenders was still so small. And after crossing the Volga, the empty Don Plain, the empty Russian hinterland, was once again opened before the eyes of the Wehrmacht.

The next goal in the Northern Theater of Operations could have been set on Moscow - a march to Moscow! (To be continued......)
