"There are three deer barns here!"

"Bury a few piles over there!"

"Dig deeper in the anti-tank trenches over there!"

"The mines are not planted enough, they need to be denser, and the minefields are expanded a little more to the west, all the way to the river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗"

To the east of Monterrey, a company of the 3rd Airborne Division of the Chinese Empire was laying an anti-tank obstacle on a defensive position. The commander of the company personally led the command of the team and laid out his defensive positions in a position that could not be opened.

"And what if the enemy passes through the river?" A veteran who stepped forward to talk to him suddenly asked.

This veteran is the person the company commander treats the most on weekdays, but at this time, the company commander has already learned about the dangerous situation in front of him from the division headquarters, and he is naturally in a bad mood to fight alone.

"You pig brains? There is also thunder in the river! ”

"Yes!"

was scolded by the company commander who was angry and covered his face, this veteran was full of grievances, and soon there was a stinky scolding sound in the distance, it turned out that the veteran was angry with the new soldier.

Although the officers and men of the whole division were aware of the treacherous environment at this time, it was false not to be nervous. However, their psychological quality is excellent, and there are slogans such as "paratroopers are born surrounded" in their usual training, so the fighters are psychologically prepared. Motivated by officers and staff officers of all ranks, it soon calmed down.

"Don't worry too much! Just do what you normally do! ”

The company deputy inspected the fortifications of the platoons everywhere and kept cheering up the soldiers.

"Nothing to be afraid of! Because we are—"

"The strongest!"

The soldiers were sweating and building fortifications, and at the same time they answered in unison, and their morale was high. ╔╗

In the division's field headquarters, division commander Fan Pingren was discussing countermeasures with division chief of staff Kong Lingjun, and more than a dozen division headquarters staff officers were nervously and orderly conveying various orders from the division headquarters.

"As it stands. We have nearly 400,000 U.S. troops in front of us, and we have formed a three-sided encirclement of Monterrey. We have about 220,000 Mexican troops on the east and west flanks, but the Mexican army is already like a frightened bird, and it is a bit of an extravagant hope that they will be able to hold the positions on the east and west flanks. ”

"That means we'll soon be surrounded and isolated!"

Chief of Staff Kong Lingjun nodded, noncommittal.

Fan Pingren sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't expect the Mexican army to help anything!" How are our troops prepared? ”

Kong Lingjun replied: "The 1st and 2nd Brigades have already entered the predetermined positions, and the 3rd Brigade is temporarily on guard duty as a general reserve. According to the intelligence from the Imperial base camp, we had an entire tank army of the US army opposite. More than 1200 tanks. If the U.S. military decides to move on us, this first wave of offensive will be the most violent. ”

Fan Binh Jenh agreed with the chief of staff's point of view, but he believed that with the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Airborne Division, it would not be easily defeated by the US military, even if the US army was in absolute numerical superiority.

"We have placed a large number of deer barricades, piles, anti-tank trenches and minefields within one kilometer in front of the main position to base or delay the attack speed of the US armored forces."

The obstacle that tanks are most afraid of is actually mines, but under the conditions of mobile combat, mines can only delay the movement of tanks. For tanks. The main danger is not the mines themselves, but the anti-tank firearms behind the minefields. Mines often break tracks, and the tank has to stop, which loses the tank's most valuable mobility. If the tank is still somewhat mobile, it should immediately retreat to shelter. When the tank is completely unable to move, it is towed by other tanks or tractors. However, special care should be taken when towing the tank to avoid losing the second tank.

"For the U.S. Army's No. 2 main battle tank, we have set up a large number of anti-tank forces in the obstacle area, including an anti-tank battalion and an anti-tank sniper company. In addition, artillery regiments and rocket artillery regiments on the main positions are ready to provide fire support. ”

Fan Pingren nodded and said, "Anti-tank obstacles like Lu Qi generally have to be destroyed first, and then, if the situation allows, they can be dragged away with a tractor and a tow rope. ╔╗ Have the fighters build several obstacles as tall as walls, forcing the enemy to have to hit them directly with tanks to pass. Anti-tank fighting vehicles and anti-tank sniper rifles are deployed on the flanks to prevent enemy tractors from coming to the rescue at any time. We destroy every enemy chariot. This tank is our best anti-tank obstacle. ”

"That's right!" Kong Lingjun agreed: "If we operate properly. There will be hundreds of tanks blocking the enemy's offensive path, and these destroyed scrap metal are precisely the good thing to strengthen our defenses. ”

"We need to configure the minefield in depth and echelon!" Fan Binh Ren pointed to position No. 4 and said: "The enemy will send infantry and sappers to try to clear anti-tank obstacles and mines. But they were able to remove only individual obstacles that affected the advance of tanks on passes, ferries, roads, dirt roads and forest roads. In order to maintain the forward speed. I think that once their vanguard tanks or reconnaissance vehicles encounter our obstacles, they will probably immediately retreat to shelter and report the situation in time. The enemy, who followed subsequently, should try to get around the obstacles that we have arranged. ”

Kong Lingjun asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Fan Pingren touched his chin with one hand and slowly moved on the map with the other, and finally finalized a position and said, "We deliberately set aside a passage that goes straight to the flank of our main position. Lay out the route as a fire bag. ”

"Arrange a fire bag?" Kong Lingjun was stunned at first, and then agreed: "This is a good idea!" I think it works. Now that our forces are absolutely weak, the Americans will inevitably underestimate the enemy if they want to attack. As a result, they can easily get into the fire bags that we have arranged. In this way, we can concentrate our limited forces and firepower to destroy the enemy as much as possible. ”

Fan Pingren nodded, pointed to a few locations, and said, "These places are suitable for arranging into fire bags!" ”

"Report! Interception of U.S. military radio communications! ”

"Read!"

"The command of the U.S. Self-Defense Forces gave an order to the commander-in-chief of the U.S. forces at the front, Admiral Hugh L. Scott, asking the U.S. forces in the Monterrey direction to suspend the offensive and not to launch an attack on the Chinese Emperor without an order."

Fan Pingren paused for a moment, immediately took it and looked at it, and asked, "What level of encryption is it?" ”

"Report! It's three levels of encryption! The highest level of encryption for U.S. military communications at the moment! ”

Fan Pingren nodded, so he handed the information to Kong Lingjun. ╔╗ said: "Level 3 encryption intelligence, the authenticity should be very high!" ”

Kong Lingjun said happily: "It seems that the Americans really have concerns and do not dare to attack us directly!" This information could not have come at a better time! We can breathe a sigh of relief! ”

After a year-long effort, the intelligence services of the Chinese Empire finally deciphered the highest-level communication code of the US Self-Defense Forces during the Mexican-American War, which could spy on any US military operations.

"If it had been deciphered earlier, it is estimated that the Mexican army would not have been defeated like this!"

"But!" Fan Pingren changed his words and said, "Let's be cautious." For the sake of safety, we will have to continue to build our fortifications at an accelerated pace. ”

"Understood!"

Fan Pingren then turned to the communications staff officer and ordered: "Let our electronic command vehicle be dispatched immediately to collect communications intelligence of the US troops on the opposite side." At the same time, a telegram was sent to the Puerto Rican Air Force Command, asking them to repeatedly reconnoiter the deployment of various US forces opposite us, with a particular focus on monitoring the US armored units. If you notice any changes, you should notify us in a timely manner. ”

Kong Lingjun added: "You can't just count on the air force to send out radar vehicles. We need to be prepared ourselves! ”

In this way, the 3rd Airborne Division continued to build fortifications and conduct comprehensive surveillance of the US military just in case.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, the US military on the opposite side was also constantly sending aerial reconnaissance planes and ground reconnaissance personnel to approach Monterrey to reconnoiter and collect intelligence on the Chinese Emperor.

Admiral Hugh L. Scott, the Supreme Commander of the U.S. Self-Defense Forces attacking the Mexican mainland, stood in front of a huge operational map, holding in his hand the information he had collected about the Chinese Emperor on the other side, and his whole person fell into deep thought.

Next to him was the Chief of Staff, Major General James F. Bell. What he was holding in his hand was an urgent telegram from General MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the US Presidential Office and the Self-Defense Forces, asking them to suspend the offensive and wait for the decision of the US top brass. ╔╗The development of electronic technology in the Chinese Empire has occupied the initiative and is well aware of the movements of the US military. Obviously, this telegram was actually in the possession of the Chinese emperor on the other side, but the US military itself did not know about it.

"It's so damnable!"

Old for half a day. Admiral Scott just burst out with a word. It shows that he is in a very bad mood at the moment.

"yes!" Major General Bell also sighed deeply and said: "The Chinese Empire is so shameless, when Mexico invaded us. They have a neutral and non-hands-off attitude. Now that Mexico has lost, when it is time for us to take revenge, they have repeatedly stopped it, and now they are even more shameless and directly sent troops to block our advance route, which is really too bullying. ”

Scott touched the back of his head and rubbed it hard. Anger and overuse of his brain gave him some headaches.

"Originally, I thought that even if the Chinese Empire intervened militarily, it would mobilize from the mainland. How can it take a month or two to send troops to Mexico, thousands of miles away? Scott couldn't help but sigh: "Even if they come slowly, as long as we give us another half a month, we will capture Mexico City, destroy Mexico, and force Mexico to kneel and beg for mercy." ”

Bell smiled bitterly: "Yes! With our current offensive speed, it will not take half a month to be able to attack Mexico City, and it will be a shame. It is a pity that the Chinese Empire actually airlifted the troops of an integrated division in front of us in one day, blocking our advance route. ”

"Airborne! Or a big airborne of an integrated division! What a powerful military force can do this! Scott had a look of envy and jealousy on his face, and said: "When our soldiers didn't know that there was such equipment as a parachute, the Chinese Emperor had already begun to parachute tens of thousands of people. ”

Bell added: "According to intelligence, the airborne division of the Chinese Empire on the opposite side not only parachuted down combat personnel, but also their heavy equipment and heavy weapons. Thousands of tons of supplies were all airdropped in less than an hour, this force is really terrifying, no wonder the presidential palace urgently called us to suspend the offensive! ”

"I'm really unwilling!" Admiral Scott looked unhappy, and then said: "Washington is probably frightened by the powerful airdrop capability of the Chinese Empire, and judging from General MacArthur's instructions, I am afraid that our military operation will be terminated." ”

Bell asked, "So what do you mean?" ”

"I want to fight them!"

"You're not kidding anymore, are you?" Bell was suddenly shocked and said, "War with the Chinese Empire." ╔╗Do you think we have that strength now? ”

"Of course I know!" Scott said: "I didn't say a full-scale war with them, I just want to test their strength, more than ten years ago, we were defeated by them once, when will this revenge be avenged?" I can't wait. ”

Bell asked, "So did you think about the consequences?" ”

Scott snorted coldly and said, "It's just a big deal that I'm court-martialed!" If I win, we can go straight in. Destroying Mexico in one fell swoop is nothing more joyful and encouraging for us in the United States. ”

"And what if you lose?" Bell said: "If we provoke a military conflict with the Chinese Empire, we may well be defeated again." Even if we are undefeated, we will lose a lot of money, and everything we have gained will be gone! ”

"Not like that!" Scott said, "I'm doing it privately! If the Chinese Empire were to pursue it, Roosevelt would only have to hand me over. If I'm not mistaken, the Chinese Empire has now essentially offended the entire Western world. They do not want to provoke the entire Western world by using force against us at this time. As long as we keep the scale under control, an unexpected military conflict is still under control and will not escalate into a full-scale war. ”

"Plus!" Scott continued: "If I'm not mistaken, it's time for China and the United States to negotiate. It must be understandable to add some bargaining chips to your own country during the negotiations between the two sides. ”

Bell said: "You're taking advantage of a loophole!" ”

Scott laughed, "That's right! A hole that can make me lose my head! ”

"Do you have to do it?" Bell knew that once Scott had decided, there was basically no way to change it.

"I hope that with my sacrifice, I can test the fighting power of the Chinese Emperor, which is too important to us. Roosevelt is also undecided now, and he also wants revenge in his bones. But he didn't know how strong the Chinese Empire really was, and whether he could deal with it. Therefore, I want to be his pawn and try the power of the Chinese Empire. Only when we know the true strength of our opponents can we make thorough preparations. ”

Bell nodded and said, "I see!" Personally, I support you. However, I will report you to the Self-Defense Forces Command. Until then. You have 24 hours to prepare. ”

Scott suddenly laughed and said, "Thank you!" I knew you were going to help me! ”

Bell smiled helplessly. "That's all I can help!" ”

"Nope! You can help me a lot! Scott suddenly laughed and said, "Now you are still my chief of staff, and we need your help in our combat deployment, don't you?" ”

Bell suddenly smiled wryly. So he worked with Scott to analyze the distribution of forces on both sides and how to defeat the 3rd Airborne Division of the Chinese Empire in a short period of time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At a time when the Chinese and American armies in Monterrey were preparing for battle with their own minds, at the city hall of Havana, Cuba, the envoy of the Chinese Empire was negotiating with the American envoy. The two sides did not involve the Mexican authorities, but China and the United States negotiated unilaterally.

When the Roosevelt administration of the United States learned that an airborne division of the Chinese Empire had parachuted into Monterey and prevented the American troops from moving south. I was taken aback. The Roosevelt administration's think tank strategically analyzed the strategic significance of the Chinese Empire's move, believing that the Chinese Empire could drop an integrated airborne division on Monterrey within an hour. Includes all heavy weapons. This projection force is quite terrifying, because the Chinese Empire has a total of ten airborne divisions, which can be airdropped anywhere in the United States and Mexico. The Third Airborne Division was thrown in the middle of the U.S.-Mexico theater, and this was not a concern for the Roosevelt administration, because they had reason to believe that 400,000 American troops could wipe out the 10,000-strong Airborne Division in an instant. However, the real threat lies in the fact that the other nine airborne divisions of the Chinese Empire can be in the rear and flanks of the US military at any time, posing a huge threat to the US military. It can be airborne at the seat of the central government of the United States, destroy the highest command organs of the United States in one fell swoop, and directly win the victory. Or they can be airborne in an important industrial base in the United States, destroying all the logistical supplies of the US military and paralyzing the US defense industry, so that the US military will also be defeated without a fight. These factors were all put forward by Roosevelt's think tank. They analyzed the tremendous deterrent power of the airborne forces of the Chinese Empire, and the shock to the Roosevelt administration was self-evident.

A single airborne force is beyond the reach of the U.S. military, and these airborne troops are only the tip of the iceberg of the armed forces of the Chinese Empire, which still has 1.4 million standing armies, 200,000 standing navys and 100,000 air forces, as well as the world's strongest industrial and economic strength, in the face of the entire Chinese Empire. Roosevelt knew that there was no chance of winning a war with the Chinese Empire at this time, so he had already decided to negotiate peace with the Chinese Empire.

However, it is not possible for the United States to pay such a great price and occupy the moral high ground without reaping the benefits. Roosevelt's permission to allow U.S. troops to cross the Rio Grande to invade Mexico was nothing more than an increase in bargaining chips. Now that this goal has been achieved, Mexico has relented, so the Roosevelt administration demanded that the Mexican states of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana be taken back. That is, the 2.2 million square kilometers of territory ceded to Mexico under the New York Treaty were all returned to the United States. This request was not excessive, and the Chinese Empire agreed.

In addition, the United States demanded that Mexico's air force be cut on the grounds that the Mexican Air Force was too much of a threat to the United States. Naturally, Mexico would not agree to this, so the Chinese Empire had to give in and allow the U.S. Self-Defense Forces to form an air force, but stipulated that the U.S. Air Force should not have a long-range bomber force with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers (the distance from the west coast of the United States to Hawaii).

On the whole, the condition of the United States is that the United States and Mexico restore the political, military, and economic status quo of the two countries before 1917, that is, the United States completely takes back all the territory, reparations, and privileges that the Mexican military received from the United States during the Sino-American War.

Since the United States had no intention of claiming the territory, indemnities, and privileges that the Chinese Empire had received from the United States during the Sino-American War. Therefore, the Chinese Empire, out of the condition that its own interests would not be affected, also felt that it would be necessary to beat the uncompetitive Mexico hard, so it agreed to the request of the United States.

The United States and China then reached an agreement and negotiations began with Mexican representatives in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Chinese Empire acted as a mediator, and the United States and Mexico entered into peace talks.

On the whole, Mexico was de facto defeated, and it was inevitable to spit out the territories and privileges it had received from the United States. The Mexican government has recognized this. However, the United States demanded that Mexico repay the 1 billion dragon dollars it demanded from the United States during the Sino-American war. The Government of Mexico categorically disagrees. More than 1 billion dragon coins more than a decade ago, with interest, has risen to 2.3 billion dragon dollars, and Mexico cannot afford to repay it now. Mexico, on the other hand, does not want to pay reparations either. Because that's too shameful. If it were the same as before, Mexico's incompetence might have chosen to pay reparations. But after more than ten years as a small follower of the Chinese Empire, their temper and face gradually increased, and even if they were defeated, Mexico considered them to be the second most powerful country in the world, and would never give in to the United States.

The two sides eventually reached a stalemate over the issue of reparations. In the period that followed. The United States and Mexico have been wrestling with the issue of reparations. Water wars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the time of the outbreak of the massive Mexican-American War in the Americas, turmoil soon raged on the European continent.

With the outbreak of the German economic crisis. This has led to a global economic crisis, from which European countries are struggling to get out. Some of these countries have chosen to emerge from their economic crises through expansion and war. The first to bear the brunt of the economic crisis was Germany, which was the most acute, and Hitler's Nazi Party was even more ambitious and took advantage of the opportunity to expand.

From 1932 onwards, the Third German Reich was merged with Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. By 1934, the original Austro-Hungarian Empire was incorporated into German territory, which more than doubled the territory of the Third Reich and became the largest country in Europe.

Especially after World War I, the Czech Republic developed rapidly in the military industry, and the Skoda Arsenal soon became the largest arsenal in Europe and the third largest in the world (the other top three arsenals were the Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry and the Royal Ordnance Heavy Industry of the Chinese Empire). The annual arms production of the Skoda Arsenal is the sum of the entire European countries, especially its largest weapon project is the Czech 26 light machine gun, this light machine gun has been praised all over the world, including the military experts of the Chinese Empire have praised this weapon as cost-effective, although the comprehensive combat index and the Chinese Empire's M16 automatic rifle There is still a big gap, but its price is low (700 dragon coins), and the cost performance is much higher than that of the M16 automatic rifle (1100 dragon coins). The acquisition of this huge arsenal by Germany is self-evident to the growth of the German army.
