Under the personal mediation of His Majesty the Emperor of China, the government-in-exile of the Republic of Alabama, which had taken refuge in the Confederate government, finally agreed to negotiate with the U.S. government on the issue of Alabama independence, but before that, they first demanded the release of the political criminals, that is, the Alabama independence legislators who did not have time to run away, and several of these guys were later arrested and tried and convicted on charges of treason, and it was not easy for them to be released under the American legal system. Unless Brian uses the president's power of pardon.

But this period of time has been messy, the Republican Party is staring at it, if Brian exercises the right of amnesty on some convicted traitors, it is estimated that it will cause a big attack by the Republican Party, so this issue needs to be ripped off, of course, it will take time to revolve, anyway, the Alabama government-in-exile has determined that if it does not release the political criminals, it will not negotiate, so let's talk about it next!

Yang Feng is not in a hurry, and Brian is not in a hurry either, he just wants to give those consortium capitalists a hope, lest they continue to jump over the wall in a hurry and break the net. He is not stupid, why did Yang Feng toss the United States, it is not that the American industry has caused him competitive pressure, if the American industry is not weakened to a level that he can accept, this guy will never stop attacking the United States. If the farmers he represented did not want to continue to suffer from Emperor Yang's attack on the American industrial capitalists, then the best thing to do was to cooperate, which was in their interest anyway.

In recent years, with the decline of American industry, the life of farmers has become better and better, the bankers who used to disdain them are all smiling, Wall Street investors are increasingly turning to agriculture, the railroad capitalists who once controlled their destiny have also put down their bodies, a large amount of idle transportation capacity has made the transportation of agricultural products the last straw for the major railway companies to survive, and the oil merchants who cannot export are desperately building gas stations in the countryside. And the increasingly prosperous export of agricultural products and the large amount of Chinese dollars earned are making the lives of farmers proud, and they welcome such an America, and they hope that it can go on forever.

Although the shrinking industry has caused a large number of workers to lose their jobs, the problem is that there is too much uncultivated land in the United States, and with a series of incentives from the American government, a large number of unemployed workers are flocking to those uninhabited wastelands, using cheap agricultural machinery, pesticides and high-quality seeds purchased from the Confederacy and China to reclaim large swathes of wasteland into farmland. Countless villages are popping up like stars. With the efforts of these true God's elect, the garden of God dreamed of by the great sage Thomas Jefferson is being realized in his own hands, and every time he sees this scene, President Bryan feels that his efforts are so worthwhile.

Just as Yang Feng continued to toss the American people, on the distant European continent, the fire of war that had been silent for many days finally ignited again, and the German and Austrian armies on the Eastern Front launched a large-scale attack at the same time, targeting the Polish salient of Russia. Among them, the German Ninth Army, under the command of the new commander, General Hindenburg, attacked from Silesia to Lodz, aiming directly at Warsaw. The Eighth Army in East Prussia was divided into two directions, one flanking south and the other eastward to pin down the Russian forces on the Neman line. The Austro-Hungarian 1st and 4th Army groups counterattacked first to lift the siege of Przemysh by the Russian army. Then attack Lublin to the north, cut off the retreat of the Russian army in the Polish salient, and strive to connect the Russian army here with the Germans to the second and fourth. 6. Three group armies encircled and annihilated. The Austro-Hungarian 2nd and 3rd armies counterattacked the east bank of the Dniester River and recaptured Gorodok, which had been occupied by the Russian army in the Battle of Galicia. Lviv, Galich and other places, completely expelled the Russian army from the territory of Austria-Hungary.

This is already the largest offensive that the German and Austrian armies can launch on the Eastern Front, the total strength of the six armies adds up to more than one million, of course, their enemies are more, the total strength of the Russian army on the Eastern Front battlefield has exceeded three million, but the vast majority of these three million are cannon fodder, the elite troops before the war are almost exhausted, and the current Russian army is all urgently recruited peasants, and then one person stuffed a rifle that had just been imported from China and kicked it directly into the trench.

Fortunately, their opponents are not very good, the German army is better, the level of the Austro-Hungarian army is on par with Russia, and the real battlefield under Emperor Joseph is the Austrians and the Magyars of Hungary, but unfortunately at this time the elites of these two regions have been drowned in the chaos of national soldiers who have no will to fight, the only advantage is that they also have a powerful artillery, supported by a steady stream of steel imported from China and Sweden, the two major arsenals of Skoda and Steyr are desperately producing, A large number of high-quality large-caliber heavy artillery equipped the front line.

Especially those super-large caliber mortars, from the beginning of the war, made the Russians miserable, these caliber is not less than two hundred giant mortars, crazy to dump dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of shells on the Russian position, and even used the Skoda 305 giant howitzer, although this kind of artillery is inconvenient to move, but with the high-power tracked artillery truck imported from China in the name of construction machinery, it is still barely possible.

On the battlefield in the direction of Lodz, Hindenburg used five hundred tanks converted from bulldozers at a time, and the armor was thicker than the original one used on the Western Front, although the speed was slower, but it was about the same speed as the infantry charge, and the Russian peasants who saw these steel monsters for the first time were frightened and stupid, and these gray animals, who most of them did not even know the words, of course, did not know that these tanks had appeared many times on the battlefield of the Western Front.

Looking at the steel monsters that trembled with the earth and rumbled with flames, at the sparks that the bullets shot at them in vain, and at the barbed wire in front of them crushed under the tracks, the gray cattle, who had lacked the courage to give the Tsar their lives, screamed in fear and fled from their trenches in fear, ignoring the angry roars of the officers, and even the sabers of the overseers, and then fled for their lives to the rear.

When the Germans broke through the Russian lines, their cavalry came next, and under the command of General Mackensen's cavalry, the iron hooves of the Germans began to wreak havoc among the fleeing Russians, blood splattered in the cold light of the saber wielding, and dead bodies covered the plains of Eastern Europe. At the same time, the weapons that frightened the Russians even more appeared, the first batch of medium-sized airships made of aluminum alloy were like clouds covering the sky over the Russian army, inspired by Yang Feng's escort airship, the Germans gave the first batch of experimental airships, directly installed large-caliber machine guns imported from China. Although the damage caused by these machine guns fired downward at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters was actually not large, the mental blow to the gray cattle was heavy, and any organized resistance would become the target of their strafing, and even suffered from the bombardment of small bombs.

The Ninth Army of the German Army in the middle of the road broke through the Russian defense line on the east bank of the Varta River in less than a day, and the Russian Fourth Army stationed on this line was defeated on all fronts, and more importantly, the Russian army on the front line was defeated too quickly and suddenly, and the General Headquarters of the Fourth Army in Lodz was blocked by a German army that attacked by truck before it had time to run, and then the German army of two whole armies surrounded the city, and the gray cattle who lost their will to resist surrendered to the Germans in large numbers, and the commander of the Fourth Army was so angry that he committed suicide, Then the overwhelming majority of the entire army command surrendered to the Germans.

The fall of Lodz made the Russian Second Army, which was fighting fiercely with the German Eighth Army on the northern front, and the Sixth Army on the southern front immediately fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy, and the Fifth Army, which was originally in Warsaw as a backup, had to face the defeated Russian army and launch a counteroffensive against Lodz. However, at this time, the bad news came again, the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army blasted the Russian defense line besieging Przemyšl with artillery, and the next step was definitely to attack Lublin on the east bank of the Vistula River, and the Fifth Army had to turn south again, while the Sixth Army abandoned the defense line on the north bank of the Vistula River, which was entangled with the Austro-Hungarian First Army, and began to retreat to Warsaw and Ivangelist.

Now this army group is in the most dangerous situation, they have the Germans behind them, the Austrians in front, and the Vistula River to the east, once the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army attacks Shunlì they will be completely surrounded, and at the same time as they retreat, the Russian troops on the west bank of the Vistula River on the northern front have all retreated to the east bank, so that in fact, the entire west of the Vistula River has fallen into the hands of the German and Austrian armies, and the Vistula River has become a new line of defense for the Russian army, and the German artillery is directly pointed at Warsaw.

"Poor Polish people!" Emperor Yang sighed fakely, he still felt very happy for the Polish people who were ravaged by the war, in fact, at this time there was no Zài Poland as a country, of course, theoretically it existed, but the crown of the Polish King was on Nikolai's head.

It is necessary to aggravate the suffering of the Polish people, and it is better to let the German and Russian armies tug at each other on the Vistula defense line, and without another half a year, Warsaw will basically be gone, so that the courage of the Russian army must be strengthened, and they will know that the chariot is not terrible.

You must know that the reason why Hindenburg was able to break through the Russian defense line so smoothly was entirely due to the five hundred modified combat vehicles he had gathered, although this thing was also a rudimentary version of the armored vehicle in Yang Feng's opinion, but for the gray cattle who were generally illiterate, it was a monster level, and they must be let know that this thing is not difficult to destroy.

"Go, contact the Russians and ask them if they want anti-aircraft artillery?" Emperor Yang patted Ye Guifei's ass and said. (To be continued......)
