The fall of Los Angeles caused a great shock in the United States and even around the world. This shows that the squadron's landing operations on the west coast of the United States have achieved great success. Relying on the port of Los Angeles, the squadron can gain a foothold on the West Coast of the United States. At the same time, with the help of the fire support of warships on the sea, it is possible to resist the attack of the American army several times more easily.

U.S. Secretary of War Russell? After learning of the fall of Los Angeles, Alger demanded that the American troops go straight to Los Angeles and immediately retreat to a place hundreds of kilometers away from Los Angeles to hold on. At the same time, the follow-up troops were ordered to speed up their arrival in Los Angeles, preparing to form a tight encirclement outside Los Angeles and block the squadron in Los Angeles.

U.S. Los Angeles commander Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang, at the time of the fall of Los Angeles, disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and, under the protection of adjutants and guards, successfully escaped from Los Angeles. Although Los Angeles fell, he was not punished. The U.S. military top brass generally believes that the reason for the fall of Los Angeles is no longer Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang's body, but because the squadron is too strong, the US military cannot compare with it. At the same time, also because of Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang has experience in fighting against the ** team, albeit a losing experience, so that Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang served as the supreme commander of the US West Coast Force, and fully commanded the US Army and the squadron to fight.

In this way, the remaining 500,000 troops of the American army on the west coast, and another 200,000 troops that quickly arrived from the east coast, were all made up of Samuel? Lieutenant General Yang commanded. In Samuel? Under the orders of Lieutenant General Young, U.S. forces were on the outskirts of Los Angeles, with Newhall, Palmdale, Victorville, San Bernardino, Corona, and Irving as their commands. Concentrate half a million troops. Form an encirclement of the ** team in the center. In a vain attempt to blockade the squadron in Los Angeles and ensure the safety of the rest of the West Coast of the United States.

And the squadron also entered a break after conquering Los Angeles. On the one hand, it took a lot of time for the remaining divisions of the Sixth and Seventh Armies to arrive on the west coast of the United States. At the same time, it will take time to clean up the port of Los Angeles. This has put the Chinese and American militaries in a state of confrontation, and the two sides have established positions near Los Angeles for a long standoff. The U.S. military had a superiority in strength several times, but it did not dare to launch an attack on Los Angeles. Once inside the periphery of Los Angeles. It will be hit by heavy artillery fire from the sea. And the squadron, before the arrival of the follow-up troops, could not be separated from the fire support of the navy. Thus, the war temporarily entered a stalemate phase.

However, the Chinese side is not in a hurry. After taking Los Angeles, it means that the squadron has a solid forward base on the west coast of the United States, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended. Besides, this is fighting on the soil of the Americans, and even if it is scorched, it is the Americans who are in a hurry. Only Wang Yuze is knowing. Los Angeles looked a little odd after being almost in ruins after being shelled by the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet. I don't know after Los Angeles is in ruins. Will the famous film mecca of later generations still exist.

The confrontation between China and the United States in Hollywood is also very willing to be seen by the US government. At the very least, they can explain to the ignorant people, and after fierce fighting, they finally blocked the evil Chinese on the West Coast, ensuring the safety of the vast majority of the American people. This is very helpful for the government to gain the trust of the people. At the same time, there was ample time for diplomatic efforts. U.S. President Garrett? Hobart, on the one hand, ordered the Army, no matter what, to hold the line and block the squadron in Los Angeles. On the other hand, to ask Secretary of State John? After arriving in China, Sherman was able to reach an agreement with China as much as possible to achieve a ceasefire between China and the United States and avoid further deterioration of the situation.

At the same time, the squadron crossed thousands of miles, landed on the west coast of the United States, and defeated the US military, which also shocked other countries. Japan, in particular, is even more frightened. The squadron can cross the Pacific Ocean to attack the United States, and naturally it can cross the narrow Korean Strait to attack the Japanese mainland. Japanese War Minister Katsura Taro is even more frantically clamoring that the warriors of the Japanese Army are not comparable to the weak US Army. The Japanese Army had sufficient strength to defend the Japanese mainland. In fact, this is just a cover for their weakness.

Time passed slowly, except for the continuous gunfire in Siberia, the front of the squadron seemed to have temporarily converged. This is a relief for all countries. Officials in charge of foreign affairs from Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and Japan also gathered in Beijing, China. In particular, Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki left for China after the Japanese Imperial Council and arrived in Beijing before the Chinese Army launched a landing operation on the West Coast of the United States. After arriving in Beijing, Shuzo Aoki met with Taro Kawaguchi, the former Japanese minister to China, and learned about what Taro Kawaguchi had heard after he arrived in China. However, the result made Aoki Shuzo very frustrated. The Chinese side is quite tough on Japan. Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong met with Taro Kawaguchi and then refused to meet with Taro Kawaguchi. Moreover, when other officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw Taro Kawaguchi, they were also like seeing the plague god, no matter how far they hid, no matter how much effort Taro Kawaguchi tried, they did not achieve any effect.

After Aoki Shuzo arrived in Beijing, he also proposed to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, but Wu Tingfang still refused. This made Aoki Shuzo very angry, but there was no other way.

Finally, a few days later, at a reception held by the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to China, Aoki Shuzo met Wu Tingfang. But Wu Tingfang's expression is still very tough. Wu Tingfang told Aoki Shuzo in a stern manner that the Chinese side had already put forward the conditions for an armistice, and if the Japanese side did not agree, there would be no other way. China will use the means of war to get those things.

This result made Aoki Shuzo very frustrated. Having been a diplomat for many years, he can naturally understand the meaning. Obviously, China wants to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Japan to death with a stick and never give Japan a chance to turn over. Although Aoki Shuzo is a friend of Yama Prefecture, he has a little more reason than those crazy army generals. He knew that although Japan now has two million army in the air, it is simply impossible to block the squadron. Once the squadron, armed to the teeth, landed in Japan, Japan would be defeated. Those crazy Japanese troops can only be slaughtered. Such a point of view made Aoki Shuzo very desperate.

However, Aoki Shuzo still did not despair, for the sake of Japan's future, he was active in Beijing, and on many occasions openly made such remarks as "Sino-Japanese friendship" and "Japan has realized its mistake, and China should give Japan a chance." His performance has also won the appreciation of some hypocrites who are full of benevolence and morality. These people also wrote articles in the newspapers many times, criticizing the foreign policy of the empire, saying that it is necessary to convince people with virtue, and it is better to settle grievances than to tie knots. After Wang Yuze saw such a report, he was furious. Ordered the Department of Homeland Security to arrest the most vicious people on charges of treason, and sentenced them to death. Suddenly, all the hypocrites lost their voices, and they all hid one by one. Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki and others have become the most unpopular people in Beijing. All the celebrities and the like were afraid of getting involved with the Japanese and being wrath of the emperor. This also lets everyone know that Emperor Wang Yuze's attitude towards Japan naturally no one dares to advocate peaceful coexistence between China and Japan anymore.

However, even so, Aoki Shuzo did not return to Japan, but continued to stay in Beijing. He hasn't given up hope yet and is still waiting for his last chance. When the officials in charge of foreign affairs from Britain, France, the United States, and Russia arrived, he hoped that everyone would unite and put pressure on China. Perhaps, in this case, Japan will still have a chance to survive.

On 28 July, Lord Landsdowne, the British Foreign Secretary, arrived in Tianjin, where he was greeted by an official from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, Lord Landsdown was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese government did not personally greet him. However, he also knew that there was no way around it. Britain, which is in decline, can no longer make China fearful, and China, which has won victory on the battlefield, is no longer afraid of Britain. Moreover, this time he still came to sue for peace, and if the Chinese side did not give him face, he had no choice.

On July 29, French Foreign Minister Alexandre ? Libo also arrived in Tianjin. Although the crisis of the French government has been temporarily lifted, the French society is still turbulent, if the French government cannot end the war as soon as possible and rescue the more than 100,000 captured French ** troops back to France, the French government will still face the consequences of being overthrown. So, the French Foreign Minister Alexander? Ribeau, after disembarking, made an enthusiastic speech, in which he showed that China and France were direct, and there was no substantive contradiction, and that the previous war was nothing more than a misunderstanding. China and France can coexist peacefully.

Russian Foreign Minister Izvulsky arrived in Beijing on July 31, and he traveled to Omsk via the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then entered the control zone of the squadron. Then by land to Xinjiang, China, and then take the train to Beijing.

U.S. Secretary of State John? Sherman, the last to arrive in Beijing, arrived in Beijing on August 2nd. It's just that he is the most anxious of all of them. No one dares to guarantee whether the US Army will be able to withstand the attack of the squadron, and once the defense line is broken through again, the United States will suffer a big loss.

Diplomats from Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and Japan all gathered in Beijing to negotiate an end to the war! (To be continued.) )
