In January, Honolulu was empty.

Yesterday's bustling streets were deserted, leaving only a lot of garbage, sewage flowing, and dilapidated door panels, swaying weakly in the wind, making a "creaking, creaking" moan.

Only at the head of the city in the distance, there was the sound of artillery fire, which proved that the city was still alive.

Ouyang Shuo stepped out of the teleportation array and looked at the ruined city in front of him, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes. As the saying goes, it is easy to build, but difficult to destroy, and it may take years to build a city, but it only takes a month to destroy it.

The Empire's strategy of keeping its homeland away from war was the right one.

After a fierce battle in January, there were less than 30,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army still in Honolulu. The rest, either killed on the battlefield or wounded, were sent through the teleportation array in advance to the rear for treatment.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo took one last nostalgic look at Honolulu, and disappeared into the teleportation array again with a group of soldiers.

I don't know when Ouyang Shuo will be able to set foot on this land again.

…………

In a blink of an eye, the time has entered the third month of the eighth year of Gaia.

The ice and snow are gradually melting, the breath of spring is coming, and the global frozen situation is also gradually heating up with the temperature and becoming tense.

The first to attack was the Dawson dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the Dawson dynasty did not exert its strength on the South American continent, nor did it intend to attack the Congo in Africa, but chose to take the lead in a major war on the North American continent.

The target of the attack is none other than the Maple Leaf Dynasty in the north.

Historically, the United States and Canada, two North American countries, have shared weal and woe. Many times, within geopolitical constraints, Canada plays the role of a vassal.

The United States is Canada's bodyguard.

The game world, however, is very different.

The Dawson Dynasty is the first main force and absolute core of the Silver Hand faction, but the Maple Leaf Dynasty is the backbone of the Blue Badge faction.

The two dynasties were inherently opposed.

As time entered the eighth year of Gaia, it was not only Ouyang Shuo who felt the urgency, but also the two major organizations.

As Zhang Liang analyzed, the Great Xia Dynasty was already invulnerable, and no matter how hard the two organizations tried, they could not contain the rise of Great Xia, let alone overthrow Great Xia.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that with the last few years to go, the two organizations are at war with each other to maximize their respective interests.

In the final analysis, the two are in opposition to each other.

It was only because of the "outlier" of Ouyang Shuo that the two organizations had a honeymoon period.

Right now, it's the end of the honeymoon period.

Jack was the first to tear his face, in addition to strategic needs, but also because watching Daxia's expanding influence and deterrence on the Asian continent, Jack was a bit of a competitor with Ouyang Shuo.

The strategic goal of the Dawson dynasty is very clear, that is, to unify the North American continent and stabilize this backyard while enhancing its global influence.

Dominating North America is Jack Gaia's goal for eight years.

The North American continent is divided into three, with the Maple Leaf Dynasty in the north, the Dawson Dynasty in the middle, and the Mayan Dynasty in the north, which also belongs to the Blue Badge faction.

Two blue coat of arms dynasties, sandwiching the Dawson dynasty in the middle.

But in terms of strength, even if the Dawson dynasty is one-on-two, it can still have the upper hand.

Strategically, if there is one of the two dynasties that is more threatening to the Dawson Dynasty, it should be the Mayan Dynasty, not the Maple Leaf Dynasty.

The reason is simple.

The lifeblood of the Dawson dynasty is the greater Mississippi River Valley, and there is a good saying, "Whoever gets the Mississippi River gets the United States; Whoever wins the United States gets North America. ”

Historically, the United States, which originated as a colony on the eastern seaboard, really rose to become a great power after crossing the Appalachian Mountains and entering the Mississippi River Valley.

This shows the importance of its strategic position.

In the history of the United States, this magnificent period of westward expansion has completely upset the global balance of power. This high-quality continent-level resource treasure land has been exploited and even destroyed by the Americans at an astonishing speed.

Countless indigenous Indians and bison were slaughtered.

In American parlance, "we slaughter everything that challenges our authority," and this is the cowboy spirit, which was later also enshrined as the American spirit.

What an irony!

Compared with thousands of years of long-term farming in China, the United States has developed the whole United States for more than 100 years, which is really an amazing logging campaign.

The greater Mississippi River basin watered one-third of the Dawson dynasty.

The Dawson Dynasty's vast inland waters had access to the sea, and its abundant products could be shipped to all parts of the country and around the world at a very low cost.

The Dawson dynasty's strong agricultural production capacity was not only due to the vast land, but also to the ease of transportation.

In contrast, the Romanov Siberian region, which was much more extensive, had no access to the sea and a well-developed canal system, which greatly reduced the value of land.

However, the estuary of the Mississippi River, located in the Gulf of Mexico, would be almost fatal to the Dawson dynasty if the Gulf of Mexico was controlled by the Mayans.

Fortunately, Jack was very visionary, and before the Mayan dynasty was founded, the Dawson dynasty's naval fleet firmly controlled the sea supremacy of the Gulf of Mexico.

Not only that, but Jack also went one step further and took control of the Panama Canal.

But there are also variables.

Once the Mayan dynasty attacked and set off a struggle for control of the Gulf of Mexico, it was a time bomb for the Dawson dynasty after all.

Therefore, from the conventional point of view, if the Dawson Dynasty wants to unify North America, it should first conquer the Mayan Dynasty and completely solve this hidden danger.

In contrast, the Maple Leaf Dynasty was sparsely populated, most of the land could not be cultivated, and the population and cities were concentrated in the border area bordering the Dawson Dynasty, which was not enough to pose much threat to the Dawson Dynasty.

Jack did the opposite.

The logic inside, in Ouyang Shuo's view, should be self-confidence.

Jack is confident that he can resist the Mayan Dynasty while attacking the Maple Leaf Dynasty. In this way, it doesn't matter much who comes first and who comes after.

Anyway, after taking down the Maple Leaf Dynasty, Jack also had to turn the gun and turn around to clean up the Mayan Dynasty.

Among the three major dynasties in North America, the Dawson Dynasty has a total of 30 million players, and the Maple Leaf Dynasty has only a pitiful 4 million. On the other hand, the Mayan dynasty has a total of more than 15 million players, which is equivalent to half of the Dawson dynasty.

Fortunately, in the northern part of the Mayan Dynasty, on the border with the Dawson Dynasty, it was a desert area.

The Mayan Dynasty wants to join forces with the Maple Leaf Dynasty, and I am afraid that it will be prepared to pay a huge price, but I don't know if there is such determination and mobilization ability inside the Azure Badge.

All in all, the North American continent is bound to be filled with gunsmoke for the next period of time.
