Chapter 606: The North American War
In Chicago, the capital of the United States of America, in the newly built presidential palace, a group of high-ranking government officials, including President Taft, were listening to the radio in front of them with an embarrassed expression. Mellon's face sank like water.
Because the interrogation of the suspects in the assassination of President Bryan by the Western Supreme Court was being broadcast live on the radio, and the two suspects were detailing how he had bribed them to assassinate the great President Bryan.
"Lies, slander, this is completely deliberate planting." The leader of the Mellon consortium slapped the table and roared angrily, because of the heavy blow suffered in the Second Spanish-American War, it turned out that among the American consortium predators, New York as the core like Morgan and Rockefeller, these have long been different from what they used to be, but Mellon with Pittsburgh as their nest, Cleveland, Chicago and other conglomerates based on the coast of the Great Lakes have gradually taken the lead, especially the Mellon family.
The other cabinet members all looked at this guy with some disdain, in fact, everyone knew that Brian was killed by him, including the Confederacy and the West Americans, but everyone also understood that if this problem was picked out, a war would have to be waged, so the three countries have been investigating for the past year, but they have tacitly not investigated the results, and now that the West and the Confederacy have broken the tacit understanding, it means that they, or the boss behind them, are going to attack North America.
"Well, guys, I think war is inevitable." President Taft, who had been dozing off, also woke up at this time and listened to the radio in the West American Supreme Judge's default verdict in absentia. Mellon's verdict of murder and hanging was somewhat gloomy.
"If they want to fight, then they will fight well, and the 30 million American people and 5 million Canadians will not be intimidated by the aggressor." Mellon said proudly.
Taft and his cabinet members were almost as confident in this, and the West was almost negligible, with a population of just over 10 million and an army of only 50,000. Because of the huge backer of Emperor Yang, they don't need any army at all, and the strength of the Confederacy is not weak, but it is only two group armies of 500,000 troops.
Of course, the real war will definitely not be only these two countries, the Spaniards also have an army group of 300,000 people in Florida, Mexico will not stay out of the matter either, Santos has three army groups in his hands, but the political situation in Mexico has been a little unstable recently. The sun of the Mexican people, who originally led the people to overthrow the rule of Díaz under the banner of democracy and freedom, has now completely transformed into a dubbler, and a bloody dubbler. Not only did he sell all the oil fields and mines in the country to the Chinese, but he also sent all those who dared to oppose him to concentration camps, which was called labor reform.
In this way, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied with his rule, and in recent years, chaos has happened from time to time, so it is impossible for Mexico to go all out, and at most two army groups will be produced, after all, the country has a total population of more than 10 million, so even if you add a Chinese group army in Jinzhou and two German divisions in the Americas, North America and Canada need to face a maximum of 1.5 or 60 million enemies.
And North America currently has a million troops left at home. Although a large number of soldiers were sent to Europe, it was not much pressure to squeeze out another million with Canada, and it also had a strong industrial strength. It can be said that as long as China does not continue to increase its troops in the Americas, let alone defeat the enemy, it is still enough to maintain a defensive position, even if China continues to increase its troops. One or two more armies would have been able to withstand it, and the North American Army's brilliant record of slaughtering in all directions on the European battlefield and even capturing Berlin gave them strong confidence.
So three hours later, the North American government signed the name of Andrew . Mellon is a North American citizen. And according to the investigation results of the North American side, he had nothing to do with the assassination of Brian as a reason, and refused the request of the West American government to extradite Mellon to accept punishment, but theoretically the reason for their refusal was not sufficient, because when the Three Dollars split up, they had already reached an agreement on the disposal of the Brian case, and handed over to the West United States to be fully responsible, once it was found out that the real culprit behind the scenes would be dealt with by the West America, no matter which country it belonged to, this was to meet Emperor Yang's request, after all, he was going to wear a pair of pants with the Entente at that time.
Since they refused, then there was nothing to say next, anyway, Emperor Yang was just to give the Confederacy and the people of West America a reason for war, after all, they didn't want to get involved in the war when they separated from North America, but now they let them declare war on North America, and it is always unreasonable not to give some reason.
An hour after North America rejected the demands of the two countries, the Congresses of the Confederate States of America and the People's Democratic Republic of America issued separate proposals for declaration of war on the grounds that the United States of America had shielded President Bryan's assassins, and the envoys of the two countries in Chicago submitted declarations of war to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North America.
Less than an hour after the declaration of war was submitted, the various armies that had been deployed launched an attack at the same time, and the entire North American border from west to east was reduced to a battlefield, and the easternmost Spanish army group attacked from North Carolina in two directions, all the way to Norfolk and the other to Richmond, with the goal of directly targeting Washington. Two Confederate Army groups attacked Louisville and Lexington from Tennessee on two fronts, then Indianapolis and Cincinnati north, targeting Cleveland and Detroit, and an army attacking Evansville to support the Chinese Thirteenth Army, which was attacking east from St. Louis, to break through the Mississippi River line.
But unfortunately, the other party does not need their help at all.
In St. Louis, in a series of forts on the east bank of the Mississippi River, those poor American soldiers huddled in their hideouts with their heads in their hands and screamed in fear, and above their heads 540mm shells were whizzing and falling. These super cannons had been transported to St. Louis across from them a week earlier, and after they arrived, they were driven directly into the so-called specially built warehouses near the train station, which had been built since two months ago, and the ground was poured exactly according to the requirements of the water tank guns, so a total of twenty water tank guns did not need a long preparation period at all, and they could be opened as soon as the roof was lifted.
Of course, the whole preparation was carried out in secret, not to mention the North American defenders on the east coast, and even the West American residents of the city did not know about it.
The railroad bridge over the Mississippi River is a battleground, the railroad here leads directly to Chicago, and the target of the 13th Army is the capital of North America.
"Prepare to attack, rush over, you must fight to Chicago in a month, Mada, how many years, finally wait for this day, since I was eighteen years old I wanted to burn it down, this is called the wish fulfilled!" When he was young, he was bullied by white people in Chicago, and the long-haired remnant said proudly.
In order to fulfill the wish of His Excellency the commander, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers wearing green camouflage shouted and threw rubber boats into the Mississippi River, and then jumped up and rowed to the opposite bank, light and heavy machine guns, and recoilless guns fired at the east bank, and just above their heads, 130 rocket shells flew by whizzing, and then exploded a sea of fire on the opposite bank.
The North American soldiers who were struggling in the artillery fire were then wiped out, and they didn't even react at first when they encountered this kind of horror for the first time, until they watched their comrades foaming at the mouth and fall one after another, they panicked and put on their gas masks and protective suits, and at this time, the white phosphorus shells fired by the heavy artillery group on the opposite shore arrived again, and the polyethylene protective clothing was on fire, and it was too late to take it off, and a random spark turned into a torch in a very short time.
"It's a pity that there are no bombers, otherwise let them taste the taste of coagulated qiyou bombs." Liu Ziming looked at the flames on the other side and said with some regret. The Chinese Army does not have bombers in the Jinzhou Military Region, and these things have been sent to the European battlefield, and the Americas are only equipped with Hawk fighter-bombers, and now they are fighting in the sky with North American fighters, of course, to be precise, they should be shooting targets, and there are less than 30 of more than 100 North American fighters that can still be seen in the sky in just a dozen minutes.
"Commander, isn't there a new Liberator heavy bomber? It is said that the longest range can even reach 5,000 kilometers. The adjutant next to him said with a smile.
"I can't fly that, I can't even fly from Hawaii from Taiwan, and I can't even fly from Japan." Liu Ziming said.
"Isn't that easy? Just build an airfield on Midway and make a stopover. The adjutant said hurriedly.
"This is good, go to the theater of operations command, ask them to find a bomber in the country, and the armies in Europe will wash the ground with solidification qiyou bombs every day, and if they can't get to us, they can only shoot a small white phosphorus shell." Liu Ziming said viciously.
Just as he contacted the theater command, a corps that had forcibly crossed the Mississippi River had already begun to set foot on the east bank, and the enemy opposite them had already been left under the rounds of water tank artillery, rocket artillery, air bombs, and white phosphorus shells, how could they resist these wolf-like Chinese soldiers. In particular, these soldiers still carry a large number of flamethrowers in their backs, and basically when they see a fortress that is still somewhat embarrassing, they directly spray a fire dragon into it, and then the North American soldiers who are still trying to fool around inside will run out screaming, of course, no one will save them, watching the enemy burn in front of them is a recreational activity.
