Denver, the capital of Imperial Colloids, is now the headquarters of the Imperial Army's 3rd Army, which is also the headquarters of the Imperial Army's North American front. Lieutenant General Gu Yun, commander of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army, was appointed commander of the North American Theater of Operations of the Imperial Army, responsible for commanding all the military forces of the Imperial Army in North America to resist the offensive of the American Army.

At present, the units of the Imperial Army in the United States, in addition to the 3rd Army, also include the 17th Army of the Imperial Army, which arrived later. The two armies together amounted to half a million people. However, it was still insignificant to the vast territory of the empire in North America. After all, the empire now has a land area of 3.5 million square kilometers in North America.

If the Imperial Army were to defend 3.5 million square kilometers of land with an army of 500,000 men, this was obviously unrealistic. With such a small army, it is simply impossible to build a strong line of defense on a long border. Even if it is established, the defense line will inevitably be very thin, and it will be broken through by the US military. Such a line of defense will not only have no effect, but will waste valuable troops.

Therefore, the commander of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army, Lieutenant General Gu Yun, deployed his limited forces in several important node areas. For example, the 3rd Infantry Corps, the 19th Infantry Corps, the 28th Infantry Corps, the 30th Infantry Corps and the 7th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army, as well as units of twenty frontier brigades. They are deployed in Kansas City, the capital of Kansas, Tulsa, Ohio, and the border areas of Huaizhou and Mongolia.

Of course, the 7th Cavalry Corps, a highly mobile unit, was stationed in the rear. Used as a mobile unit.

In addition, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army also had twenty frontier brigades under its command. These troops were recruited from the subjects of the empire who had immigrated to North America. Although their formation is only a border brigade. However, their training and treatment are exactly the same as those of the regular army. Once on the battlefield, the combat missions they have to undertake are completely no different from those of the regular army of the Empire.

It's just that in the face of the crazy expansion of the Americans, this bit of strength of the Imperial Army still seems to be insufficient.

"Commander, the transfer of the Americans is almost complete. They deployed 500,000 men to the west. Another half a million men were then deployed to the south. Now, the Spaniards may be in trouble! Lieutenant General Luo Xinde, chief of staff of the 3rd Army, said.

"Hmmm! The Spaniards had only 200,000 regular troops, and although they had been mobilized, 200,000 militias had been added. However, they are nothing more than a rabble, and they obviously cannot compete with the Americans. Lieutenant General Gu Yun, commander of the 3rd Army, said. As the commander of the army deployed to North America, Lieutenant General Gu Yun knew that the enemy of the 3rd Army was the Americans. Therefore, the U.S. Army has also become the focus of research on the 3rd Army. The aims and objectives of the 3rd Army. It's to defeat the Americans.

"Is the 11th Army already deployed? When the time comes, I'm afraid they will have to come to the rescue of the Spaniards! Lieutenant General Gu Yun said.

"The 11th Army has entered East Texas. If the Americans had sent their main forces to attack the Spaniards, the 11th Army would have followed the original plan. Cut off the retreat of the American army and cooperate with the Spaniards to annihilate the American army. It's just that I'm a little worried about whether the Spaniards will be vulnerable. In that case. It's going to be a big threat to us! Lieutenant General Luo Xinde said.

"Spaniards, they shouldn't be so vulnerable!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun frowned. No matter what. The Spaniards deployed 200,000 regular troops in North America, but they used the standard equipment of the Imperial Army. And the training was also carried out by the officers of the Imperial Army. Even if the combat power is not as good as the Imperial Army, it will not be much different. After facing the Americans, it won't be too ugly to lose!

"Telegram from the commander, chief of staff, General Staff!" A staff officer handed over a telegram to Lieutenant General Gu Yun.

Lieutenant General Gu Yun took a look, and his originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed.

"Commander, what did the telegram say?" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde asked.

"See for yourself!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The telegram was sent by General Sun Hao, chief of the Imperial General Staff, saying that in view of the weak military strength of the Imperial Army in North America, the 3rd Army hoped to recruit militia from among the immigrants to form more frontier brigades, so that the disparity between the Imperial Army and the American Army in terms of strength would not be so great. Now, the General Staff has given its approval, allowing the 3rd Army to once again form 30 border brigades, that is, nearly 200,000. This brought the total strength of the 3rd Army to 500,000 men. Of course, this second batch of border brigades will be dismantled or transferred to other units as the case may be after the end of the war.

"Commander, it seems that His Majesty is still our new one, and he won't be suspicious of us because of this!" Lieutenant General Luo Xinde said happily.

North America is far away from the empire itself, and as the army deployed by the empire in North America, Gu Yun, the commander of the 3rd Army, has the meaning of a prince. However, this is also for fear of arousing suspicion in the country. Especially if the Emperor Long Yufei is not a new one, it will be troublesome. However, now it seems that the Emperor Long Yufei is still very new to them. The expansion plan of the 3rd Army can be carried out smoothly.

"Let all the militiamen who have started training be replaced with the establishment of border brigades!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun said. In order to resist the pressure of the Americans, and even to guard against the Indians living in the mountains, the immigrants of the empire in North America, there was a militia in every village. At the beginning of the war, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army called up a number of militia for training. It's just that at that time, there was no reply from China.

"Yes, Commander! Now with the establishment of these 30 border brigades, the crisis of insufficient military strength can be greatly alleviated! Lieutenant General Luo Xinde said.

"Hmmm! Let all the front-line units be ready for battle! I have a hunch that the attack of the Americans will soon begin. When the time comes, it's time to test us! Lieutenant General Gu Yun nodded.

This part of North America, the geographical conditions are too good. Not only was the soil fertile, but transportation was also very convenient, although the immigrants of the empire were now mainly concentrated on the coast west of the Rocky Mountains, but this was mainly because of the threat of the Americans. When the Imperial Army completely defeats the United States in this war, then the whole of North America will belong to the Empire. The people of the empire will truly become the masters of this continent.

Lieutenant General Gu Yun was originally from the Lanfang Kingdom in Nanyang, the successor of the Lanfang Kingdom. It's just that, in his heart, he didn't want to restore the country of Lan Fang for a long time. He was very satisfied to see a powerful Chinese empire standing at the top of the world.

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely defeat the Americans for the empire and expand the territory for the empire!" Lieutenant General Gu Yun swore secretly. Although, the number of imperial troops in North America was far inferior to that of the Americans, who were frantically expanding. However, Lieutenant General Gu Yun had the confidence to win.

Because of the frequent movement of the US military, war clouds have gathered throughout North America. Both the Imperial Chinese Army and the Spanish Army were ready for battle. It's just that, compared to the Imperial Army, the Spanish Army's confidence is undoubtedly not so strong.

In the last war, Spain gained several states in southern North America, and five million immigrants from the country gave Spain complete control over several states in southern North America. However, the threat of the Americans made them sit on pins and needles.

Now, Europe has become a pot of porridge. The Kingdom of Spain faced invasion by France and England, and had no spare strength to invest in North America. Besides, the North Atlantic is still largely controlled by the British Navy, and Spain does not dare to send reinforcements to North America. Therefore, the Spanish army in North America could only rely on their own strength to resist the Americans. Fortunately, they also had a powerful ally, the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, they would not have been able to protect their interests in North America.

New Orleans, the capital of the North American territory of the Kingdom of Spain, is also the seat of the military headquarters of the Spanish Army in North America, which is responsible for commanding the six infantry corps of the Spanish Army in North America. As well as the militia of up to thirty infantry brigades formed after the war.

Army General Freddy, the Supreme Commander of the Spanish Army in North America, is now even more frowning.

"Hell, why are those Americans focusing on attacking us? Could it be that we are really that easy to bully? Admiral Freddie was a little furious. After learning that ten corps and half a million American troops had been deployed in Tennessee and South Carolina, Admiral Freddie had not slept well for several days.

There is no doubt that, judging by the intelligence available so far, the Americans are about to attack. Moreover, the main direction of the attack will be several states in the south of North America controlled by the Kingdom of Spain.

Of course, this is understandable. Compared with the military power of the Spanish Army in North America, the military power of the Chinese Empire was undoubtedly more powerful. The Americans would not be stupid enough to fight hard with the Chinese Empire, and the best way to solve the Kingdom of Spain first, and then fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Imperial Army. There is no doubt that the army of the Kingdom of Spain in North America has become the soft persimmon in the minds of Americans.

"Are all the units on our front line already in place?" Admiral Freddy asked. Since war was inevitable, for the sake of the interests of the Kingdom of Spain and for the millions of Spaniards living in this land, Admiral Freddy had no choice but to bite the bullet. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of life. (To be continued......)
