After the sun set, the squadron stopped the pursuit, and the battle of Hartian was over. After most of the 16th Army and a part of the 25th Army fled back to Tierra Cororada, the rest of the troops deployed in Hartian Angis were all annihilated by the squadron. The American general, Lieutenant General George, committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and several other generals were captured, and the squadron won the Battle of Hartiangis.

The statistics of the results of the battle, knowing that the statistics were only finished the next morning, the officers of the staff department were busy all night for this, their eyes were red as if they were rabbits, but everyone's faces were full of happy smiles.

"My lord, this is the report of this battle!" With a smile on his face, Admiral Xie Dingkun handed the battle report to the Minister of War and the Supreme Commander of the Mexican Battlefield, General Zhao Bo. He had already read the battle report in advance, and this result made him very satisfied.

Admiral Zhao Bo took the battle report and read it, which clearly listed the losses and results of the squadron and the Japanese mercenaries in the Battle of Hartiangis. In this battle, the two main armies of the squadron suffered more than 6,700 casualties, more than 4,0100 were seriously wounded, more than 12,000 were lightly wounded, and almost two infantry divisions were lost. The losses of the Japanese mercenaries were somewhat large, and a total of three divisions of the Japanese mercenaries were temporarily cancelled due to excessive casualties, and they had to wait until the newly formed divisions and regiments in Japan were completed before resuming the number. The Japanese mercenaries were poorly equipped, but in this battle they fought all tough battles. In this battle, more than 46,000 Japanese mercenaries were killed, no seriously wounded, and more than 52,000 were lightly wounded. Almost ten divisions were lost.

The squadron and the Japanese mercenaries suffered heavy losses, but at the same time, the losses of the American troops were even greater. Since the battle on the 28th of last month, the US army has deployed a total of five corps in Hartiangis, of which the 24th Army of the US Army has withdrawn from Hartiangis ahead of schedule because of more than half of its losses. Together with the 16th and 25th armies of the US army, which were the last to retreat, the US army lost a total of about 180,000 men in Hartiangis. Of these, nearly 100,000 were killed in battle. The remaining 80,000 people all went into the prisoner of war camps built by the Chinese side.

"My lord, Yoshimasa Oshima is here!" At this time, Admiral Du Qizheng walked in.

"See Lord Zhao!" After General Oshima Yoshimasa entered the headquarters, he immediately saluted Admiral Zhao Bo. A look of humility. However, his eyes were full of smiles. Although the Japanese mercenaries suffered heavy losses this time, and the losses of nearly ten divisions and regiments made him very painful, there is no doubt that the Japanese mercenaries made great contributions in this battle. The Chinese side will definitely say something.

"General Oshima. The Japanese mercenaries have performed very well in this battle, and I am very satisfied, and I will report your merits to His Majesty the Emperor, and I will definitely give you the corresponding rewards when the time comes. Admiral Zhao Bo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao!" General Yoshimasa Oshima hurriedly said.

"Also. If you make a list of the officers and soldiers who are prominent in this table, I will build a government to give these heroes Chinese nationality! Admiral Zhao Bo said. For the current Japanese people, if they can obtain Chinese nationality, it will undoubtedly be a supreme honor. Even if you don't go to China to settle down, but stay in Japan. They will also be treated by the government because they have Chinese nationality.

"Yes, on behalf of all the mercenary officers and soldiers of Japan, thank you Lord Zhao!" Yoshimasa Oshima hurriedly said.

"Hmmm! As long as the Japanese mercenaries fight for the empire with their hearts, the empire will not forget you. This time, the Japanese mercenaries lost ten divisions of troops, and immediately transferred ten divisions from Acapulco to replenish them. We are going to launch an attack on Tiela Corolada next, and we hope that the Japanese mercenaries will be able to perform better in this battle! Admiral Zhao Bo said.

"Yes, my lord, please rest assured, the Japanese mercenaries will definitely fight with all their strength to help the empire defeat the Yankees as soon as possible!" Yoshimasa Oshima patted his chest and said. Although, he knew, this would cause the Japanese mercenaries to lose more troops. However, he didn't care, he didn't care about the casualties of ordinary soldiers, as long as the more exploits established by the Japanese mercenaries, the more stable his position would be. Anyway, there are a lot of Japanese people, and it doesn't matter if some people die in battle.

After that, Admiral Zhao Bo immediately sent this battle report back to China. After reading the battle report, the imperial emperor Wang Yuze was greatly pleased, and asked the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense to commend meritorious personnel, and at the same time published the results of the imperial team in the "Imperial Daily" and other major newspapers, and the enthusiasm of the Chinese people was completely ignited. Before, many people scolded the incompetent traitors for their unsatisfactory performance and deceived the emperor's majesty. Now, the suspicion of Admiral Zhao Bo has completely disappeared and has been replaced by words of praise. Emperor Wang Yuze took the opportunity to announce the promotion of Admiral Zhao Bo to Marshal of the Imperial Army, but he would not wait until after the defeat of the United States to carry out the promotion ceremony.

At this time, the prestige of the Minister of War Zhao Bo in the empire suddenly increased a lot, and he truly became one of the giants of the empire.

At the same time, the results of the battle of Hartian Geis were also known to the major powers of the world. In icy Europe, both the Allies and the Entente are using this winter to accumulate strength and prepare to launch a new offensive against their opponents after the arrival of spring. China's annihilation of more than 180,000 U.S. troops in Hartian is undoubtedly another proof of the strength of the Chinese army, which makes Britain, France, Russia and other countries worry. Originally, they were all optimistic that with the combat power of the US military and the industrial strength of the United States, under the conditions of China's attack across the Pacific Ocean, the US military should be able to resist the attack of the squadron, or even defeat the squadron in one fell swoop. But now it seems that it will be very difficult for the American army to defeat the squadron. If the Allies did not want to lose this war, they could only defeat Germany as much as possible. It's just that Germany doesn't seem to be so easy to defeat! The Germans had mixed results for the squadron. The good news is that China is still strong and can drag down or even defeat the United States, the most powerful of the Entente powers. The best thing is that after defeating the Entente, Germany and China will inevitably go to confrontation, and will Germany be able to defeat China at that time? Although Germany has always claimed that the German Army is the strongest in the world, the German people are still a little dissatisfied with the appearance of the Army at the beginning of the war. Although, this is the reason for the command on a large extent. If Moltke had not revised the Schlieffen plan and had not weakened the German army on the right flank, perhaps the Germans would have captured Paris by now and forced France to withdraw from the war. The European theater was plunged into a protracted war, which was very disadvantageous for Germany. It's just that it's too late to say this, and the new chief of staff of the German army, Falkenhayn, is preparing for the spring offensive. German Admiralty Tirpitz is also waiting for the entry into service of the 'Bavaria-class' battleships before challenging the British Royal Navy!

The most depressed is probably the U.S. government. Previously, the U.S. Army had fended off the squadron's attack at Hartiangis, and newspapers throughout the United States had proclaimed that the U.S. Army would resist the Chinese attack and eventually defeat the Chinese. U.S. President William Howard Taft even rewarded Lieutenant General George, commander of the U.S. 11th Army, for this. However, in just a few days, the U.S. army failed, Hartiangis was captured by the squadron, and the U.S. army lost more than 100,000 people, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the U.S. military!

On the evening of February 5, US President William Howard Taft received the war report, and he immediately went into a rage in the White House, and many of the fine porcelain in his office were damaged by it, and the angry President Taft was smashed to pieces.

"Your Excellency, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, and the Cabinet Ministers are here!" A beautiful blonde female secretary pushed open the office door and bowed to President Taft.

"Miss Christine, let them go to the conference room. Also, find someone to clean up here! President Taft said.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The beautiful female secretary nodded hurriedly, now that President Taft was angry, she didn't dare to provoke him.

President Taft straightened his clothes and headed to the White House conference room. When he arrived at the conference room, all the cabinet members of the U.S. government had already arrived. It's just that everyone's faces are a little unnatural. They celebrated the victory of the American army here only a few days ago, but in just a few days, the situation was reversed.

President Taft entered the conference room, came to his place, glanced at everyone, and then said: "We have just suffered a crushing defeat at Hartiangis in Mexico, our army has lost nearly 200,000 people, of course, we have also inflicted great losses on the Chinese, and the Chinese have lost no less troops than us. According to the report of the battle, this qiē was entirely caused by the incompetence and stubbornness of the commander of the 11th Army, Lieutenant General George. Minister Dickinson, I ask for a court-martial's trial of Lieutenant General George! ”

"Your Excellency, the latest news I just got is that Lieutenant General George had committed suicide before he was captured!" Secretary of War Jacob M Dickinson said.

"Damn! Well, that's the end of it. However, ladies and gentlemen, the war has only just begun, and although we have suffered a defeat, our main forces have not suffered much loss, and we still have a chance to win. In order to avoid causing panic among the people, I built a news about the battle of Hartian Gis and sealed it all. President Taft said.

Although this is contrary to the spirit of democracy, the cabinet members nodded one after another. On this issue, it is undoubtedly necessary for the government to remain silent!
