The British have always pursued a balanced strategy, uniting with other countries to fight whoever is strong, so as to consolidate their hegemonic position. In the past, when Napoleon the Great dominated the European continent, the British repeatedly joined other European countries to form an anti-French alliance, and finally destroyed the First French Empire. Now, after the rise of the Chinese Empire in the East, the British once again began to attack the Chinese Empire in an attempt to weaken the Chinese Empire. During the war, the British repeatedly supported Russia and the United States, and the main purpose was to do so.

It's just that, judging from the current point of view, the strategy of the British seems to have failed. Even with the support of the British, Russia lost a resounding defeat, losing millions of troops. The United States, on the other hand, is under siege by China, France and Spain, and if it wants to win, the possibility will not be too great.

Under such circumstances, the British would certainly have chosen to defend themselves rather than get involved in a war that was doomed to failure. At most, they will give the United States a certain amount of support in terms of money and weapons, and it is almost impossible for them to join the war. Therefore, the Americans can only rely on themselves to survive this crisis.

After the meeting, the officials of the US Cabinet left the president's office one after another, and everyone had to go back to figure out how to get the United States through this crisis. L. Marcy stayed.

"Your Excellency, the situation on the West Coast is right now. It's very bad for us. Robert. General Anderson suffered heavy losses, with less than 30,000 men left in his hands. Under the blows of the Chinese, they can no longer hold California. Had to retreat to Nevada, relying on the Rocky Mountains, to fend off the Chinese attack. "William. Governor L. Marcy said.

James. Nosk. President Polk nodded, and the strength of the Chinese* army was beyond his expectations. It is worthy of being a powerful country that even the Russians can easily defeat, and the US Army has 300,000 troops, but it has been defeated by more than 100,000 troops of the other side. The wolf bèi is so unbearable that even the whole of California is about to be lost. Now that I think about it, President Polk also regretted it a little. If we had known, we would not have fought with the Chinese Empire for those territories, and in this case, the United States might not have suffered such heavy losses in this war. To know. If the United States loses this war. They will lose more profits. The territories that have been forcibly occupied will not be able to be preserved either.

"Your Excellency Marcy, is there anything we can do to resolve the current crisis? In the West Coast region, even if the Chinese cannot be defeated, the situation must be stabilized, at least not to allow the Chinese to break through the Rocky Mountains! President Polk said. Now, the kingdoms of France and Spain are about to land in the United States. The center of gravity of the United States has to shift from the West Coast to the East Coast. Once the East Coast is lost. The United States is completely finished. Therefore, on the West Coast, the United States has to change its strategy, and there is no way to do it.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Ulysses has submitted a battle plan, and if it can be successful, it may be able to stabilize the situation on the west coast and buy us enough time!" William. Governor L. Marcy said.

Lieutenant General Ulysses, who led 200,000 American troops to the West Coast to reinforce Robert Ulysses. Lieutenant General Anderson's U.S. Army General. It's just that as soon as he arrived in California, he received a message from Robert. News of Lieutenant General Anderson's fiasco. To this end, he had to complete a military operation on his own to reverse the decline of the American army on the West Coast.

"Oh? What is the plan? "President Polk was in good spirits. If the situation on the West Coast can be stabilized, then the United States will be able to concentrate its efforts on dealing with France and Spain. As long as they are defeated, then the United States will have enough strength to solve the problems of the West Coast and win the war once and for all. Now it seems that the key is to stabilize the war on the west coast so that the war situation on the west coast will not deteriorate further. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the United States to win under the attack of China, France, and Spain.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Ulysses is planning an attack on San Diego, and if we can take San Diego, we may be able to reverse the situation!" William. Governor L. Marcy said.

"Take San Diego? Is that possible? In addition, even if San Diego is captured, will it really be able to stop further attacks by the Chinese? President Polk frowned and said with some skepticism.

"Your Excellency President, according to our intelligence, the Chinese have only one Marine Brigade in San Diego, totaling more than 6,000 people. In addition, there are several warships of the Navy in the nearby seas. More importantly, almost all the war materials loaded and unloaded by the Chinese when they landed in the early stage were piled up in San Diego, and even if the Chinese took San Francisco, the follow-up materials had not yet arrived. That is to say, if we can destroy the supplies in San Diego, at worst, hundreds of thousands of Chinese* troops will fall into the crisis of lack of war materials, and we may have the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Even if it is not possible to annihilate the Chinese* army, it can buy time for the strategic arrangement in the east. All the supplies of the Chinese* army came from the country. It takes more than a month to get from China to North America, and it takes two months to come and go. If it succeeds, it will buy us at least one to two months. As long as we can defeat the French and Spaniards during this time, we will be able to regain the initiative on the battlefield! "William. Governor L. Marcy said. When this battle plan was handed to him, his eyes lit up.

President Polk hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How likely is it to succeed?" ”

"Your Excellency, we have at least a seventy percent chance of success. After all, the Chinese are in San Diego, and there are only six thousand people. Even if you can get the support of the warships on the sea, it is impossible to resist the attack of the 200,000-strong army. Moreover, our goal is not to occupy San Diego for a long time, but to destroy all the strategic materials stored there after taking San Diego. As soon as the goal is achieved, we will retreat immediately. Now, the main force of the Chinese* army is in northern California, and even if they come back, it will take at least twenty days or so. In terms of time, it is already very sufficient. "William. Governor L. Marcy continued.

President Polk nodded, seventy percent sure, that was already very high. Of course, you can't help but think about what to do if you fail. After all, the Chinese have always played cards out of common sense.

"What are we going to do if we fail?" President Polk asked.

"Your Excellency, if the war situation is unfavorable, we can only choose to retreat and retreat to the Arizona region. Rely on the 200,000 reinforcements that will arrive later to fight against the Chinese. At that time, relying on the Rocky Mountains, we still have a great deal of confidence in resisting the attack of the Chinese. It's just that in that case, we will be under a lot of pressure! "William. Governor L. Marcy said.

"Well, in that case, let Lieutenant General Ulysses do it! I hope that they will be able to get a victory for the United States! President Polk said. If this operation can be successful, the crisis facing the United States can be eased a little. In addition, and more importantly, it can boost the confidence of the American people, whose morale is declining, which is conducive to the development of the next war.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" William. Captain L. Marcy nodded.

Secretary of War William. L. Marcy left, however, President Polk still frowned. Although he is not from a military background, he also knows little about military affairs. However, he knew that the basis of this strategy proposed by Lieutenant General Ulysses was that the Chinese* army would not continue to increase its troops. If the Chinese* military expands the number of troops in the United States, then the situation of the United States will be even more difficult. The hundreds of thousands of Chinese* troops alone have already pinned down half of the US Army. If it is increased, will the United States still have a way to live?

President Polk could only pray to God that the Chinese Empire would not increase its troops in North America, and that Lieutenant General Ulysses would succeed in conquering San Diego and then destroy the war materials there. In this way, the Chinese will have to rein in their troops for a while and become less aggressive. This could give the United States enough time to create a zào, or even win the war outright.

However, this qiē was nothing more than his expectation. Will the development of the battle situation be as he expected? It's very hard to say.

At this time, in southeastern California, an American* army was advancing westward. This army was none other than 200,000 American troops led by U.S. Army Lieutenant General Ulysses. Their initial mission was to reinforce Robert. Lieutenant General Anderson, helping him stabilize the tide of battle on the west coast. However, when they first arrived, Robert . . . Lieutenant General Anderson has already lost a lot.

Now, Lieutenant General Ulysses is implementing the battle plan he submitted, and he is leading 200,000 American troops to San Diego.

"General, urgent telegram from the War Department!" A communications officer, riding after Lieutenant General Ulysses, handed him a telegram.

After taking the telegram and reading it, a smile appeared on Lieutenant General Ulysses's stern face. The telegram was that his battle plan had been approved. Governor L. Maxi asked him to ensure the victory of the plan as much as possible.

"Someone, order the troops, and rush to San Diego at full speed!" Lieutenant General Ulysses gave the order! (To be continued......)
