The incident of Wu Dekai's anonymous letter was a turning point in the process of China's North American economic strategy, and this historical mystery incident caused the Chinese occupation forces and the Chinese government to change their original efforts to woo, trust, and reuse the original Aboriginal people. The difficulty of the aborigines' quest for official access has risen by more than one level after this incident.

The Pierce family in Fresno, California, a politically established Native American family, unconsciously declined in the years that followed. Mr. Pierce withdrew from Virginia politics due to illness, and Mr. Pierce returned to his hometown and never left Fresno for the next 30 years of his life. And Michael, Mr. Pierce's proudest eldest son, was killed in Vegas in an attack on a French warship.

The reason for this is known to no one except a few members of the Pierce family. Even Wu Dekai didn't know that the Pierce family, who were usually respectful to him, turned out to be the culprits of the anonymous letter incident.

He sent Michael to Vegas because the danger of Vegas was only moderate among the twenty or so foreigners who were sent away, not because he was suspicious of Michael. Mr. Pierce really thinks that Wu Dekai already knows the whole story, at least Wu Dekai already knows that his son loves his lover. Coupled with the changes in the general environment, Pierce is only afraid that if things leak out, he will become the public enemy of all naturalized aborigines, and he has such a big secret in his heart at night, and he has to be busy working, and the whole person will not be healthy. In the end, he resigned and returned to his hometown directly after Michael's bad news, hoping that the death of his eldest son would extinguish Wu Dekai's anger, and his family would be rejected by everyone!

Wu Dekai's anonymous letter incident had little impact on the political situation in North America in a short period of time. No one is clear about the inside story, but this incident made Liu Xian fall in love. Win over the aborigines yourself. But it can't raise the hearts of these people. The people who entered North America before were all people from the Military Intelligence Agency, and now it is time to bring in the NSA.

That's most of the United States. You can't always govern as an enemy country.

After returning to Virginia from Mexico, the others went to the Norfolk area for a while, during which they also mobilized airship troops to capture two incoming armored cruisers, sinking one and creating one.

This warship is fast, and as long as there is a wide enough space, even if it is besieged by dozens of airships, it will not be easy to be blown up and sunk. If it weren't for the submarine that Liu Xian still greeted, it would have been impossible to severely damage the armored cruiser. Not to mention sinking one.

In this way, time passed through the late summer and autumn, and arrived in early winter.

A heavy snowfall brought down the battlefields in the north and south. There is now only one Florida left in the south, and the number is less than 300,000, and more importantly, it is blocked by China's submarine forces on the sea, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to supply military supplies. This is not an industrially developed place.

Florida is dominated by agriculture and livestock, with a warm climate, fertile soil, and abundant water. Most of the state is part of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast Plains, with an average elevation of less than 35 meters, with the highest point in Walton County in the northwest at just 105 meters. The forest coverage rate is 70%. It is rich in pine, cypress and pine resin. Animal husbandry is known for raising high-quality horses. Coastal and inland fisheries are well developed. There are more than 700 species of fish and shellfish. After the remnants of more than 200,000 U.S. troops retreated here, they could not even meet the supply of ammunition, let alone replenish heavy firepower.

All of Florida. Except for the guarantee of food, everything else is unsustainable. The more than 3 million indigenous people living here just received two to three million refugees last year and in the first half of this year -- this is a large agricultural state. There is food, but the resettlement has not been able to fully absorb it. There are two or three hundred thousand American troops running over, and the governor of Florida, even if he is a god, can do nothing.

"Your Majesty, the attitude of the Americans is not so firm. Florida: They can't afford to lose. ”

In the camp in Richmond, Liu Xian listened to Xiang Fa and He Qing introduce the situation in the northern battlefield, and then the response of the United States on the diplomatic front. After Florida, where there was only one flat state left in the southern states, the Americans were really in a hurry. They became unable to sit still. If Florida is lost, the United States will only be left with the territory of the Northeast Region, and the main force of the Chinese North American Expeditionary Force will be able to go all out against the Northeast Region, and such consequences and possible disasters will be unbearable for the current US Government.

So the Americans, while softening their attitudes, did their best to organize a difficult counterattack. They mobilized 120 new helium airships and a million troops to launch an offensive against the expeditionary force on the front line in Washington, the Northern Route Army. At the same time, the U.S. and French navies also made every effort to launch a surprise attack on the long North American coastline, and incidentally covered the landing of American and French marines.

The momentum was very huge, but unfortunately it failed to mobilize the main force of the Southern Route Army to withdraw, let alone make the headquarters and camps panic.

During the period when hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Route Army were attacking, although the Northern Route troops were recuperating their strength, they also strengthened their positions and defenses. In particular, on the eve of the US offensive, Liu Xian suddenly ordered all heavy artillery units to carry out a fire counterattack at 4 o'clock in the morning, which directly disrupted the offensive steps of the US army. The small nomad tank group, to which the European Volunteer Army, which was dominated by the French army, was hit by an artillery counterattack and destroyed 57 vehicles before it saw a battle.

"This is supposed to be the last battle of the year!" Liu Xian looked at the map and said in his heart.

West side of Washington, Columbia.

The Second Army of the European Volunteers, with the French Foreign Legion as the main force, suffered great losses due to the sudden fire counterattack of the expeditionary force, so that the sortie plan was delayed by 3 hours compared with the original plan. However, after losing 36 tanks, it was difficult to cross the minefield of the expeditionary force and storm the defense line of the 67th Integrated Division, facing an enemy attack at least five times its size, the 67th Division was unable to resist and was forced to retreat, so Li Zuochang of the 33rd Army transferred the 68th Division of the reserve to the reserve in the hope of keeping the enemy out of the defensive line. However, the French foreign legion on the opposite side still opened a gap in the defensive line and forced the crossing of the Shenandoah River.

Because the attack of the French Foreign Legion was much more fierce than expected, Li Zuochang was forced to cancel the planned counteroffensive and place some tanks of the 11th Armored Brigade, which was planned for the counteroffensive, behind the defensive line to support the infantry for defense. Part of the tanks were arranged on the flanks to strike at enemy troops. Over the course of a day, the U.S. airship unit made more than 400 sorties. The airship unit attached to the 33rd Army was completely suppressed. High-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs are accurate for hydrogen airships, and the lethality of helium airships is sharply reduced. The fall ratio of the airship units on both sides has returned to what it was before.

It's just thankful. The number of helium airships in the US military is small. In the great battle half a year ago, the airship unit of the expeditionary force swept the sky of the United States by relying on the power of ammunition, and took advantage of the opportunity to shoot down and destroy more than 250 US airships.

Now the U.S. military's airships have also completely abandoned hydrogen and switched to helium. However, the connection between the oil and gas producing areas of the United States and Mexico has been severed, and helium can only be produced when treating asphalt uranium ore with sulfuric acid in addition to oil and gas development, which is scarce and expensive. In particular, the liquefaction process of helium has not yet been invented, and the transportation cost is expensive.

The U.S. military's helium airship production has never been able to increase.

After a day of fierce fighting. Both air forces and ground forces on both sides suffered heavy losses.

In the evening, Li Zuochang asked the headquarters for reinforcements, and Xiang Fa immediately transferred 233 tanks of the 12th and 20th armored brigades of the 5th Mechanized Army to the 33rd Army after obtaining Liu Xian's consent. At the same time, Liu Xian ordered the 1st Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guard to go to Bessel on the west side of the Shenandoah River! As the reserve army of Li Zuochang's department!

On the same day, Li Zuochang also received a phone call from Liu Xian, asking him to stop the breakthrough of the US troops in the area west of the Shenandoah River at all costs. In the next day's fighting, the most elite of the French army advanced only a few kilometers. Failed to achieve the task of breaking through the second line of defense of the expeditionary force. On the third day, the French Foreign Legion continued their offensive stubbornly, and Li Zuochang was also planning a counteroffensive, so he asked Liu Xian to transfer the 1st Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guard and the 128th Integrated Division not far away to him under his command. His request was quickly granted. But it will take at least three or two days for these troops to move to a suitable location. If it is discovered by the airship unit of the US military, this time will be doubled.

Just as the tank armor was afraid of airplanes in World War II, the armored tank units of today are also afraid of airships. A single high-altitude bomb can dig an impassable hole in the ground. And the movement of the armored units is relatively slow, as if they are embellished with airships in the process. It's a headache.

The Shenandoah River was only part of the overall U.S. counterattack, and Li Zuochang commanded the troops to continue to fend off the U.S. forces under the command of W. Shaft head-on. However, at the same time, the expeditionary forces in other positions launched successive counterattacks against the American forces, and although these counterattacks failed again and again, they frustrated the American offensive plan and prevented the American troops from attacking their main targets with all their might. Arthur, who was already the commander of the US 4th Panzer Army. Seeing that he could not open the gap from the front, MacArthur decided to break through from the right flank first, and he ordered the US 18th and 19th mechanized divisions and the 5th and 7th armored divisions to launch an assault on the flank of the 33rd Army of the expeditionary force. On the first day, the U.S. offensive went relatively well, they attacked the city of Esby, and then on the road to Bessel, they engaged in a massive tank battle with the 1st Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guard, the 12th Panzer Brigade of the 5th Mechanized Army!

A total of 700 tanks and armored vehicles from both China and the United States joined the tank battle. The battle began, China and the United States launched an attack almost simultaneously, and in the battle the Western Nomad tank had a clear defensive advantage, and its armor made the Land Rover tank, which was only equipped with a 37-gun gun, completely unable to gnaw. However, the armament of the Nomad tank was inferior to that of the 37 guns, and a few heavy machine guns of 7.7 mm caliber could not penetrate the armor of the Land Rover.

So this largest tank battle to date looks hilarious.

More than 300 Land Rover tanks tried everything to stop only 40 Nomad tanks, and 37 guns broke the tracks of the Nomad. Of these, only 13 were actually destroyed. The five Land Rovers destroyed by the little nomad were all hit by large ones.

Tanks did not become the only protagonists in this war, and the accompanying infantry and the Chinese airship troops, which arrived in time due to radio contact, became the other two protagonists of the Bessel tank battle, or the two most crucial protagonists. The infantry accompanying both sides destroyed more than 18 tanks ten times as many as artillery and rockets. If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. military still has armored vehicles that can make Land Rover tanks regain face, this tank battle has really become a joke in the history of war. Under the 37 guns of the Land Rover tank, more than 100 US armored vehicles were easily destroyed.

After the four elite divisions that broke through on the flank of the US army were completely defeated by the infantry group, the 65 remaining tanks of the slow, snail-like small nomad tank group had to raise the white flag. (To be continued......)
