When you hear a knock on the door, Charlotte? Draenau? Roosevelt looked up as she whispered, "Come in," and she saw her secretary, Marshall, push the door open.

"The Germans recaptured the area of Mazovssheminsk that was under Russian control twenty hours ago, and the Russian army group in the city was annihilated." Marshall paused, "The Russians believe that the Germans used cloudburst shells. ”

"Well," Charlotte said, glancing at the desk calendar on her desk, "sooner than we expected, Cloudburst." ”

"The effectiveness of Lin Youde's scientific research institute is significantly higher than our estimates, miss."

Charlotte nodded, and then asked in a casual tone, "Hasn't the Intelligence Bureau gotten the content of Lin Youde's Plan V yet?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be. Now it seems that they can only be sure that this plan exists, and they do not know the content of the plan. The British don't have a clue either. ”

Charlotte nodded again, signaling that she understood.

After all, Marshall was the secretary who had followed Charlotte for many years, and immediately understood Charlotte's thoughts, and he bowed lightly to Charlotte and turned to leave the president's office.

Charlotte sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

"It seems that this time, like the last war, it is unlikely that we will end the war within this year."

Charlotte looked down at Wen Jiàn in front of her, and the title of Wen Jiàn could see how unsatisfactory the situation was: the argument about the necessity of sending troops to the Ming Empire before this summer.

Charlotte flipped to the first page of the report and began to read it again.

The analyst who wrote the report quoted extensively the views of the US military observers and military advisers stationed in China to comprehensively analyze the current economic and military situation of the Ming Empire, and came to the conclusion that the Ming Empire government, even with the economic and military assistance of the United States of America, could not stop the offensive of the revolutionary army.

Charlotte herself had no objection to this conclusion, and it was indeed difficult for a regime whose economy had completely collapsed and 70 percent of its military industry had fallen into the hands of the revolutionary army to come back to life. It's just that Charlotte originally thought that she could resist for a while by relying on the Shenji Ming Empire, at least until Russia gained an advantage in Europe.

But now it seems that the revolutionary army may be in Yanjing City in July (change the name to avoid the harmony god, everyone knows).

The Chinese Shenji named Yuan Weiting showed super-first-class combat effectiveness, completely neutralizing the Ming Imperial Government's superiority in Shenji, and the revolutionary army gradually became good at fighting in battle, gradually overpowering the army composed of those ruffians of the imperial government, and many of the weapons provided by the United States of America became trophies of the revolutionary army, and were immediately thrown into the battle against the Ming Imperial government.

The report mentions in more subtle terms that the revolutionary army began to refer to the United States of America as "Sam of the transport team", and Charlotte also got the nickname "transport captain", and the revolutionary army also adapted the military song composed by Lin Youde of Germany, and the lyrics of the military song include the sentence "There are no guns and no cannons, the enemy made us".

To be honest, this report made Charlotte feel very unhappy, and if she only made a decision based on her own will, Charlotte would have sent troops to beat up these yellow people. But Charlotte thinks she is different from those dictators in that she is able to judge the situation and not decide national affairs with personal feelings.

Although the United States of America mobilized a considerable number of Army units in the war against Japan a few years ago, and these units have experienced some actual combat, Charlotte is well aware that there is still a gap between the United States Army and the Army units of the European Army powers. After the occupation of Japan, the U.S. Army carried out the so-called anti-bandit operation in the Japanese archipelago, but the remnants of the Japanese Army who refused to surrender learned enough lessons, but they won the victory by mass-produced machine guns and artillery.

At a time when the situation in the Japanese archipelago is stable, the total strength of the US Army has shrunk to 400,000, and even with the addition of the local servant troops of Japan and the Philippines, it is only 780,000 -- although this is more than the US imperialism in another time and space, it is still too small compared to the troops of the European army powers, which often have several million.

Compared with the revolutionary army of the government of the Republic of China, which now occupies half of the Ming Empire, it is also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

In addition, the strategic depth of the Ming Empire was not the same as that of the island nation of Japan. The army of the government of the Republic of China can avoid the naval guns of the U.S. Navy, put their own magic armor maintenance center in a safe place, and then let Shenji and the American Shenji fight slowly. To destroy these repair centers, the United States would have to use Army forces.

Charlotte's worries are not unreasonable, although the Ming Empire in this time and space is also seriously ill, its industrial base is much stronger than the so-called Republic of China in another time and space, and the internal economic cycle is self-consistent, even if it is blocked by the sea, it can produce enough coal, steel and oil itself. This enabled the revolutionary government of this time and space to transform more than 400 million people into a huge fighting force.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming Empire in the nineteenth century fell into the trap of the British in the process of reform, and regarded the construction of Yingzhou and the Korean Peninsula as the focus of the Ming Dynasty's Gyeonggi coastal defense, and the power of Yingzhou continued to increase, I am afraid that Yingzhou would not be so easy to succeed independently - of course, the bachelor who originally decided to build Yingzhou as the Great Wall of coastal defense could not have predicted that Yingzhou would suddenly give birth to a wave of gods, and it can only be said that the providence of heaven is not something that mortals can see through.

The Ming Empire, now cut off from Yingzhou, Northeast China, and the Korean Peninsula, was a giant with a broken arm, but a population of 400 million was enough for the United States to carefully consider the consequences of rash armed intervention.

Because of this, Charlotte has been troubled for almost the whole day.

Diplomatic efforts on the side of the government of the Republic have failed, and the government of the Republic has made it clear to the US envoy that it will join the pan-humanist camp and become a member of the Alliance for Human Renewal, after eliminating the resistance of the Ming court. This also means that at that time, the Republic of China will automatically declare war on Russia, and the revolutionary army will almost certainly cross the Shanhai Pass and attack northeast.

At that time, Iron Ji will have to mobilize Shenji to aid the Far East, and he will also have to be on guard in central Russia, and the balance of power of Shenji on the European front line will suddenly become one-to-one or even slightly in favor of Lin Youde.

That's not what Charlotte wants to see.

But if it doesn't want to see that, it seems that the U.S. government has no better way than to send troops directly to help.

Charlotte sighed.

At this time, Lin Youde used a cloudburst bomb to shatter the hope that the Russian army would quickly win the war by relying on conventional forces.

Charlotte couldn't help but think of what her war minister had said.

"I'm afraid," Charlotte whispered to herself, "that from now on we will change the name of the last great war from 'WORLD-WAR' to 'WORLD-WAR-i.'" ”
