Chapter 898: The Restoration of the United States

London, the heart of the British Empire.

A breath of decadence pervades this former world capital, and the glory of the British Empire is gone with the defeat at the Battle of the Gulf of Aden. When the news came, the whole of London knew that the glory had turned away from them from this moment on. They rose because of the victory of the navy, and they were defeated by the defeat of the navy.

The Chinese blocked the entrance to the canal, the British Empire did not have the courage and strength to organize a second coalition navy to rescue the port of Aden, and when London sent an envoy to Ukraine, London also gave an order to the British naval fleet in the Gulf of Aden: disperse and detour to the Cape of Good Hope. This is tantamount to telling them to flee for their lives.

Since London had no way to reinforce the Gulf of Aden, it could only immediately order the fleet to retreat in order to preserve its strength as much as possible. Just crossing the entire east coast of Africa from the Gulf of Aden, crossing the Cape of Good Hope to the Atlantic, and then crossing the entire west coast of Africa to Europe, no matter how far, hard, and even dangerous the journey is, everyone knows that the remaining ships in the port of Aden must fend for themselves.

……

Gulf of Aden.

The sun was high in the sky, and it was another sunny day.

After a frightening morning of sailing, Phillips finally arrived at the port of Aden at about two convoys at about two o'clock in the afternoon. After disembarking from the ship, Lieutenant Colonel Phillips hurried to the headquarters, hoping to advise Vice Admiral MacArthur to change the original reinforcement plan. But the general apparently had no leisure time now to consider a revision of the reinforcement plan, as a telegram from the U.S. government-in-exile had completely rejected any of his plans for an operation on the peninsula, which read:

"Order General MacArthur, from now on. Stop all military operations on the peninsula and mothball heavy weapons and equipment. All U.S. military personnel are allowed to retain only light weapons and await further orders. As soon as a fleet of neutral nations arrives in the area of the port of Aden. All American officers and soldiers stationed on the peninsula immediately boarded the ship and headed for South Africa to assemble. ”

The United States has never given up its intention to restore its country, and although its government-in-exile is not regarded by China, it still has considerable influence in the Western world. The first thing they sought was Iceland, a small and very wealthy country that was now only a dependency of the Danish government. As long as the British open their mouths to agree to the American request, little Denmark will never be able to resist.

But London did not agree. They are afraid of arousing the anger of the Chinese, Iceland is located at the confluence of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, far from North America. The restoration of the United States in Iceland is not a threat to Central North America. But that's too provocative. London has pledged its support for the restoration of the United States, but the time is not now.

This telegram did not shock MacArthur, and although the size of the "Marine Corps" in his hands was only more than 50,000 men, it was the most elite force of the hundreds of thousands of remaining troops in the United States, and it was also the militaristic blade on which the United States relied to restore its country. With the situation on the peninsula already deteriorating, the government-in-exile will certainly not watch this elite force die in the Middle East.

What just surprised MacArthur was that all heavy weapons and equipment were mothballed, and all U.S. military personnel were allowed to keep only light weapons, which was only for the Marines? Or did it wrap up the US Navy warships in the port of Aden?

'As soon as a fleet of neutral nations arrives at the port of Aden'. How can a large fleet of neutral countries directly carry more than 50,000 people, or even more, away?

MacArthur immediately telegraphed back to the government-in-exile in London, willing to obey orders. But he had to know exactly when the neutral convoy arrived at the port of Aden. Because he has already deployed the forces in his hands, he is ready to fight a counterattack against the Chinese advancing peninsula column by leaps and bounds.

Soon. The reply telegram from the government-in-exile in London was sent to the country, and the content was simple: the time of arrival was the highest secret. The army cannot be told. All MacArthur had to do was obey and abandon all battle plans. And MacArthur if he refused to carry out the order. Then his post as commander of the US Marine Corps will be replaced by other generals.

MacArthur was so furious that he tore up the telegram on the spot. Commanders of the U.S. Marine Corps regiment and above received telegrams of the same content from the government-in-exile at the same time, and they sent people to inquire about it, which made MacArthur even more annoyed. Fortunately, his adjutant calmed the general's anger in time.

"What the hell is going on, Benny? Why do I feel weird? So how could a huge fleet of neutral nations come to the Gulf of Aden at this time? ”

"General, perhaps, our government and the Chinese have reached some kind of tacit understanding, or some kind of agreement. You know, that's what politics is all about, as a soldier, you can only follow orders. We may go to Africa and build our new America there. Benny said with a shrug of his shoulders. In his personal opinion, with the current situation of the United States, it is the best ending to be able to reopen the situation in Africa.

The country has just collapsed for a few years, and many people still have a desire for America in their hearts, and if it is a stalemate for more than ten or twenty years, it will be difficult to estimate how many people in the world will remember the United States after a generation.

MacArthur's face was no longer happy, the government-in-exile gave such an order to almost disarm the American army, I don't know what happened to cause such a big change, and I don't know how Europeans will view this matter in the future?

Phillips hurried to the headquarters of the US military and was immediately relieved as soon as all kinds of news came into his ears. Although he did not know exactly what the U.S. government-in-exile was doing, one thing was clear to Phillips: the international situation has developed so far that the United States has run out of room to turn around. Perhaps, by abandoning some insistence, the interests of the United States can be protected to the maximum. As a military man who has vowed to give everything for the United States, he can only hope that the choice of the U.S. government is not wrong. At least for now, it seems that there is nothing wrong!

The Chinese southward column on the peninsula is very strong, equipped with powerful armor and artillery fire, and air superiority, although the US army has the upper hand in strength, it is really difficult to say that it will win the battle. More importantly, MacArthur's more than 50,000 troops were America's most elite forces, and even if they defeated the Chinese, they suffered heavy losses. That's a failure in the end.

……

To this day, some small people believe that it is more in line with the interests of the United States. The overall situation of the war between the East and the West has been decided. The homeland of the counteroffensive that the United States longed for most has become a delusion, so it is looking for a foothold. The most important thing is to set up a new American as soon as possible. As for all the other interests, all insistence, let go and let go!

After China allowed the restoration of the United States, it could limit the recovery of the strength of Britain, France, Germany and other Western European countries to a certain extent, because a large number of American immigrants who had transferred to these countries would definitely return to the United States after the restoration of the United States.

China will not allow the United States to choose a plot of land at will, and the place that China has designated for the United States is Morocco, which is China's punishment for France.

This is the end of this war. The Gallic roosters are making a lot of money, how can they do it without banging and banging? That land would not have killed the French anyway.

The old emperor regarded the United States as China's number one enemy, and at the beginning of the strategy, the old emperor completely trampled the United States to the ground.

It's just that now that the situation has changed, and looking at the land where the United States is based in Morocco, the old emperor thinks about it in peace, and he doesn't feel that there is any great harm.

After the restoration of Morocco, the United States will inevitably have an impact on the situation in Europe. With the background of the United States, it will not take long, maybe ten or twenty years, to reach Italy and Spain. and even the influence of France and England on the ground. But there are millions of Green Christians in Morocco, and this is the biggest problem for the United States.

These people are not as good to the United States as they are to Heshuli, who has little faith. There is also no culture, and it is easy to assimilate. No matter how brutal racial discrimination is, it is far less hostile than religious beliefs.

But the United States no longer has much choice. After losing only two pieces of land, the United States. It is certainly impossible to gain a foothold in the Americas. After this war, although China will not take action against Western Europe and Southern Europe, nor will it touch the interests of Britain, France, Germany and other countries in the south of North Africa, and will not even monopolize Egypt and the Suez Canal, to a certain extent, it has preserved the interests of Britain, France and Germany. So the Americans don't have to think about gaining a foothold in Europe, the only thing they can hope for is Africa. The sub-Saharan Desert is too backward, and it is not impossible for the Americans to re-establish an African Great America if they let the old United States go there, and wait for the tiger to leave the flock of sheep.

So the western part of North Africa became the place where the United States settled!

As for the price paid by the exiled government of the United States for this request, the Chinese side will not announce it. In any case, they have added a real-stirring stick to the Western world, and the restoration of the United States will certainly touch European interests in Africa. Don't mention anything now, it's too early. Twenty years from now, the entire Western world will certainly not be what it is today......

MacArthur didn't know these details, as a soldier, a soldier who hated China from the bottom of his heart, he didn't have the concept of being at odds with China in his mind. He must have known some of the difficulties and urgency of the government-in-exile, but he definitely didn't care about it. MacArthur's favorite thing was war, which was to defeat the Chinese in war and avenge his country's hatred and family feud. His father, Arthur MacArthur, died in the last North American war. His enmity with China is not shared!

MacArthur's 'ignorance' made him angry at the government-in-exile's decision, but it didn't help. The defeat of the coalition navy has determined the course of the entire peninsula, and the tribal forces that had been firmly resisting and harassing the logistical supply lines of the Chinese forces a few months ago have now become obedient lackeys. In turn, leading the Chinese Peninsula column straight to the south, no one in the Americans wants to fight with the Chinese at this juncture. What if you win? A small victory is not about the overall situation. It would be miserable if it was defeated, and the only elite of the United States suffered a heavy setback, which was a heavy blow to the entire great cause of the restoration of the United States.

……

London, the seat of the U.S. government-in-exile.

Coolidge, the current president of the United States, can finally have a cup of afternoon tea easily. Ever since the news of the defeat in the Gulf of Aden naval battle, the entire government-in-exile has been in a state of annihilation, and everyone is in constant fear. Now that everything is settled, and the resolution of the United States to restore Morocco has been endorsed by China, Britain and France, the Gallic rooster is of course holding its nose and enduring it, and there will inevitably be many troubles in Morocco in the coming days, but it will not help the overall situation. The restoration of the United States of America is decided!

Franklin D. Roosevelt sat quietly behind his desk, exuding a lightness as he read. When America was finally restored, the burden on his shoulders was suddenly lightened.

When the naval battle of the Gulf of Aden was lost, rumors were rumored in London that the British Empire was preparing to expel the American government-in-exile, and the entire provisional government was silent for a while. It was Roosevelt who stepped forward, went back and forth in London, Paris, and Berlin, heard a lot of news, and then rushed to Kiev as fast as possible. As far as the United States is concerned, Roosevelt can be said to have "turned the tide and helped the building to fall." After the restoration of the United States, he entered the political arena and jumped to a high position, which was simply natural and natural.

In the evening, Coolidge arrived at Roosevelt's residence and told him the latest information that MacArthur, the commander of the U.S. Marine Corps, had asked for his resignation. Coolidge sighed helplessly, "General MacArthur's bravery and loyalty deserve the admiration of all Americans, but now the army cannot solve the existing predicament of the United States. For the sake of America's survival, even the demons of hell, we must make a deal with them. ”

It is not a lie that the British want to expel the Provisional Government of the United States, because the British want to curry favor with China, and there is no better way to curry favor with China than to beat the Provisional Government of the Americans. The Provisional Government of the United States is facing an increasingly difficult situation, and everything can be abandoned in order to stabilize the situation.

"General MacArthur will be considerate of our choice. When the government is re-established in Morocco, he will understand that we are right. At that time, West Point will also stand again on the earth and become the cradle of our American Army officers. I think General MacArthur is competent and qualified enough to serve as the first principal of New West Point. ”

MacArthur in the original time and space was only a temporary military rank of brigadier general after fighting World War I, but MacArthur in this time and space was already a shining lieutenant general. Among the existing U.S. Army officers, MacArthur is not the highest rank, but he is the most famous and has the greatest credit. In particular, his angry resignation on the peninsula, a move that would also become the source of Americans' love and respect for him after all was calm. It is really appropriate for such a person to be placed in the seemingly honorable position of the president of the West Point Military Academy, which actually has no real power.

"The nascent America needs a hero. So MacArthur can be a hero. But the nascent American government does not need a strong general......" (To be continued. )
