The scene was quiet and a little scary, waiting for the last general to read the letter. The chief of staff said impatiently: "Your Excellency, such favorable conditions are too tempting, and the establishment of an independent state on the Miami Peninsula is what we dream of." Your Excellency, I fear that this is fraud, but we should be cautious. The generals agreed. "I understand everyone's feelings and doubt the authenticity of this letter. Now I won't hide it from everyone. My brother was doing business in Shanghai, China, and had lost contact since the great changes in Chinese mainland. Now my niece has suddenly appeared in the city and is currently living in my house. ”

There was a look of astonishment on everyone's faces. "My niece Anna is currently a military doctor in the field hospital of the 2nd Corps of the Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force, and her husband is the commander of the 2nd Corps of the Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force. Therefore, do not doubt the authenticity of this letter. The generals began to exchange heads, and the chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, the United States is now exhausted, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed. The other party gave such a big gift, I think it can be considered. ”

At this time, a general stood up and said: "Your Excellency, it is a shame for a soldier to lay down your arms and surrender, after all, we are American soldiers, please think twice." Taking a step back, we lay down our arms and surrender, what if the enemy does not keep his promise? When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it. Several generals agreed. Antonio said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, so please discuss it." At this time, a communications officer rushed in in a panic and said, "Your Excellency, the outer defense forces have reported that the enemy's vanguard has launched an attack on Carter Town. The people were astonished.

It's about 60 kilometers west of Oklahoma City. The atmosphere in the headquarters of the 2nd Corps was relaxed, and Shao Bo stared at the military map at this time. At this time, the chief of staff walked in with a telegram in his hand, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Good news, commander, the vanguard of the 3rd Army." With the cooperation of the 8th Tank Regiment, it took 5 hours to capture Carter Town, cleanly and completely annihilating a British brigade and capturing the British brigade commander. "Great, it's called knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, I'm going to try Antonio's reaction. The 3rd Army was ordered to stop the attack and stand by. ”

The atmosphere in the Oklahoma City Defense Command was tense, and everyone's eyes were on Antonio. The chief of staff put down the phone and said: "The reinforcements were intercepted by the enemy tank troops. The town of Carter was captured. The 156th Brigade of the British Army was completely annihilated. At this time, an operational staff officer reported: "Report, the British defense unit reports that the enemy has suddenly stopped attacking. Antonio sighed and said, "The enemy is knocking on the mountain and testing us. It looks like we have no choice. For the sake of the Miami Peninsula, I decided to plug it up. ”

The chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, General, I think it is necessary to test the sincerity of the other party and ask the supreme commander of the other party to come here to negotiate, as long as he dares to come and show his sincerity." All the generals agreed. Seeing Antonio's hesitation, the chief of staff said, "Your Excellency, General." The enemy commander is the husband of your niece. So it was possible to get Anna back to communicate. At this time, one of his subordinates said: "Your Excellency, what if the British army does not agree?" Antonio said: "If they don't agree, you can let them retreat, and I think they will agree to this condition." ”

At the station of the 2nd Corps of the Expeditionary Force, a communications officer ran to Shao Bo and said: "Report, the forward troops found a jeep of the US military waving a white flag and asking for negotiations. "Haha, Madame did a good job, order the forward troops to let them go." About an hour later. The U.S. jeep stopped in front of the command and saw Anna and a U.S. colonel getting out of the car. There weren't many pleasantries between husband and wife when they met. At this moment, there is no time to linger, but the eyes between each other explain a qiē.

Shao Bo listened to Anna briefly explain the situation, and then the American colonel handed a letter to Shao Bo. Shao Bo quickly read the letter and then handed it to the chief of staff. "Commander, it's too dangerous for you to go into the city, you have to go to me, and the troops can't leave you." After reading the letter, the chief of staff resolutely disagreed, "People asked me to go by name, and if I don't dare to explain that I am not sincere, I must go." "Several generals are in a hurry and clamoring to disagree with the commander's risk." My uncle feared that it was a hoax, but he promised to give the order to lay down his arms and surrender if the conditions mentioned in the letter were true. However, the uncle asked the commander to be present in person to show his sincerity. Anna was blunt.

"I've decided to go in person, you guys don't make any more noise, it's worth the risk to take Oklahoma City without blood." "I'll accompany the commander, so you can rest assured." Anna comforted everyone. The chief of staff wanted to send police forces to accompany him, but Shao Bo refused. Soon after, he took two guards, his wife Anna, and a telegraph operator in a U.S. jeep to Oklahoma City. The reporter was brought in for the convenience of communication, and Shao Bo had to contact the headquarters of the expeditionary force, and some heavy decisions had to be approved by the headquarters.

Shao Bo and his entourage were unimpeded, and about two hours later, the jeep stopped in front of the US military command. The former military and police of the headquarters are numerous, as if they are facing a great enemy. Antonio led the generals to greet him at the door, and perhaps they all showed surprise when they saw that the commander of the other party had come almost alone, and was so young. The two sides saluted each other, Shao Bo was calm and self-assured, and his body was full of the demeanor of a strong man. General Antonio has been absent for a long time, I have not lost my word, and I hope that His Excellency the General will not lose his word either. Shao Bo was calm, and Anna acted as a translator temporarily.

"General Shao's courage in taking risks alone is admirable. At the same time, it also proves that your army will do what it says and what it does, and the doubts of the contemptible people will disappear, please! The two sides exchanged pleasantries and entered the headquarters. After everyone took their seats, Shao Bo got straight to the point and said: "General Antonio, the United States is about to collapse, and it is a wise choice for the general to choose to lay down his arms and avoid killing. As for the conditions, I made it clear in my letter that we will strictly fulfill our promises. If your army has additional conditions, you can bring it up. ”

Antonio said: "General Shao, our department requests to retain the existing army establishment and create conditions for the establishment of the 3rd French Republic in Miami in the future. "I have to ask for the permission of the expeditionary force headquarters, but it's not a big problem, is there any condition?" "If the British ask for permission from your ministry to retreat, I don't want to be an enemy of the British!" "No problem, I can promise you this." After contacting and obtaining the consent of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Antonio decided to accept the order of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters to lay down his arms, and at the same time the Expeditionary Force Headquarters agreed to the conditions proposed by Antonio.

The headquarters of the expeditionary force promised Antonio the condition of retaining the army, that his army could keep its weapons, but that the ammunition would be temporarily collected and returned when the war became clear. After the surrender agreement was reached, his troops were to be pulled out of the city and put on standby, and Oklama City was transferred to the 2nd Corps of the Expeditionary Force. In addition, the Expeditionary Force Command, on behalf of the Chinese Imperial Government, fully agreed with Antonio to form the 3rd French Empire on the Miami Peninsula, and this decision was temporarily not announced to the public according to Antonio's request.

Early the next morning, Shao Bo and Antonio stood on a high point in the city to watch the retreat of the British troops. Although the British commander was very angry, there was nothing he could do. The 150,000 British troops marched eastward, and Antonio ordered his troops to shrink and assemble north of the city. In the afternoon of the same day, a tank vanguard of the 2nd Corps rumbled into the city, and the two sides handed over in an orderly manner. Antonio led the generals to the north of the city, and Shao Bo and his wife saw them off.

"Madam, you have contributed a lot to taking Oklahoma City without blood!" Shao waved his wife's hand affectionately. "This is what I should do, I don't want to see bloody killings." Anna held her husband's hand at the same time. At this time, the chief of staff led the generals of the corps headquarters and drove to the front of the headquarters. "Commander, we are so worried! I have good news for you, the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th Corps of the Northern Front have conquered Lincoln and Topeka, and the shape is very good. ”

"Chief of Staff, the soldiers are swift and bloodless, and we have received a large amount of provisions. With this, I have reported to the headquarters and obtained the consent of the headquarters to launch the Battle of Little Rock ahead of schedule. The US military laid down its arms in Oklahoma City, and the US military high command certainly did not expect that now was the perfect time to completely destroy the US military's southern defense strategy. Immediately get in touch with the 7th Corps Kingbeard, and ask him to take Austin as best he can, and quickly advance along the Gulf of Mexico towards the Miami Peninsula. ”

There was laughter and laughter in the headquarters of the Salt Lake City Expeditionary Force, and Chief of Staff Nie Fengwu said: "The soldiers will take Oklahoma City without blood, causing the entire US army to shake, and it seems that the capture of the entire territory of the United States by the end of the year will be advanced." He Meng said calmly: "Order the 3rd Corps, the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th Corps to cancel the rest and recuperation, carry forward the fighting style of our army's continuous operations, and advance the original offensive plan." "With the new order issued by the headquarters of the expeditionary force, the 3rd Corps on the Northern Front began to attack St. Paul, and the Central Assault Corps immediately launched an attack on Des Moines, Kansas City, and St. Louis.

"Report, Southern Front Battle Report, 7th Corps, after three days of fierce fighting, captured Austin. It was to annihilate 60,000 British troops. A communications officer reported. He Meng said calmly: "Tell the 7th Corps to find the special operations team, I want to know Sam's news, the formation of the black republic is inseparable from Sam." (To be continued......)
