If you fight Spain, it is naturally impossible to fight only a painless Los Angeles, and now Los Angeles is a large military camp with nothing but soldiers and military supplies......

Those Spanish tyrants have long left this front line facing the Han Empire, and the once rich coastal colonial cities on the west coast have completely declined with the rise of Zhao Dutian......

Similarly, the cities of Monterrey and San Francisco under the control of the Han Empire have also become cities similar to military fortresses, no longer rich and prosperous as they once were!

This is the inevitable change in the war, the border cities of the two countries in a state of war, only fools will develop the economy!

If the Han Empire really marched into the colonies of the Kingdom of Spain, the Viceroyalty of New Spain, Zhao Dutian was more than half sure that the army of the Kingdom of Spain would be completely annihilated!

It is annihilation, not defeat!

When the time comes, it will inevitably be necessary to march into Mexico City, the heart of the Viceroyalty of New Spain!

Mexico is not a semi-developed region like a colony in North America, where it is densely populated and full of plantations!

It seems to look very fat, but unfortunately, food has never been a material that Zhao Dutian urgently needs......

The corn and potatoes of the Han Empire, as well as the early chemical fertilizers, the grain production has always been high!

Of course, the condescension here is relative to the other colonies!

The benefits of Mexico are discounted, but the crisis in Mexico is real!

The main forces of the Viceroyalty of New Spain are placed on the front line of Los Angeles, once the battle is defeated, there is no need to wait for the Han Empire army to drive over, I am afraid that those independent elements who have long seen through the strong and powerful cadres of the Spanish Kingdom will put up the banner of nationalism!

According to the estimation of the Han Imperial Staff, the time it would take for the Imperial army to reach Mexico City at a normal speed was enough for those rebels who had already prepared to set off a prairie fire!

At that time, Zhao Dutian was not facing the Spanish colonists who had tens of thousands of people in the sky, but the Mexican Nationalist Revolutionary Army!

Now the Viceroyalty of New Spain does not include the colonists, but it has a population of millions!

Being able to produce 100,000 brainwashed nationalist fighters is enough for Zhao Dutian to have a headache......

Rather than get an unstable territory, it's better to take Louisiana, which is very easy to govern and has a vast territory rich in minerals!

How many people are there in Louisiana, 100,000?

Zhao Dutian hadn't counted it, but that's probably all there was to it......

In June of the eighth year of the Han Dynasty, the field troops of the entire Han Empire had been concentrated on the Louisiana border, with 20,000 American field troops, a legion of the Russian elite Praetorian Guard, a regiment of the Han Guard, and tens of thousands of logistics personnel.

Zhao Dutian did not mobilize the American Self-Defense Force, on the one hand, because most of the American Self-Defense Forces that can fight are guarding the Los Angeles Defense Line and the Eureka Line, on the other hand, if the American Self-Defense Forces go out with the army, they all have wartime allowances......

Besides, all the troops in the Louisiana area, plus the soldiers of the Sioux Union, are far less than 30,000 men, and he can't afford to send so many troops over and waste money and money!

Well, the loss of money is the point!

Sure enough, after the concentration of the Han Empire's troops, the French colonial authorities in Louisiana had no intention of coming to meet the war, and the army effortlessly crossed the border line discussed by the French envoy and Zhao Dutian!

Zhao Dutian personally marched with the army, and finally arrived at a large settlement that was hard to see - Denver!

During the march, Zhao Dutian deeply experienced the desolation of Louisiana......

He couldn't help but regret a little that he didn't bring Louise and Angela with him......

Since entering Louisiana, the army of the Han Empire has not fought a battle, and all day long it is either fighting the scorching sun or fighting mosquitoes......

Even Indian soldiers, who are accustomed to the North American environment, have seen hundreds of non-combat attrition!

The march of this era is really a chore!

However, to Zhao Dutian's surprise, the adaptability of the Han people and the Russian soldiers drawn by lottery was even stronger than that of the Indians, and hundreds of Indian soldiers fell, and the Han Guards and the Russian Praetorian Guard Corps were reduced by less than 50 people together......

Zhao Dutian, who came to Denver Town, no longer wanted to suffer such useless hardships, and the troops of the French colonial authorities all retreated to St. Louis, the only French colonial city in Louisiana!

Oh my God, it's thousands of kilometers from Denver!

St. Louis is at the confluence of the Mississippi River and the Missouri River, and if he wants to advance there, Zhao Dutian can't stand that crime!

North America is too big, too inhospitable!

In the absence of the War for the Austrian Throne, the French Legion was stationed in the small town of Denver, so the Secret Service only investigated the town of Denver and St. Louis, the seat of the French colonial government in Louisiana.

It's not that Zhao Dutian doesn't want to send spies to investigate the entire Louisiana, it's just because the population of Louisiana is too small, and the agents of the secret service are spies, not explorers, and letting them explore in a deserted place is no different from letting them go to death......

Originally, Zhao Dutian just looked at Denver Town and St. Louis from the map, and there were official data, and at a glance, hey, it wasn't too far, if you marched with all your might, it wouldn't take long......

However, when Zhao Dutian experienced an all-out march firsthand, he realized that he seemed to have confused the concept of humans and robots......

This sister of yours, just go to St. Louis, I'm going to go crazy!

Naturally, noble, honorable, His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Han Empire, how could he be an explorer?

There are no roads here, and you can't get in a four-wheeled carriage!

And even more without railways!

In the short distance from New Luoyang to Denver, Zhao Dutian realized that the horror of conquering Louisiana was not about war, but about how to control the land......

When Zhao Dutian set off from New Luoyang, the roads in the Han Empire were still in carriages, and he rode horses only after leaving the border......

It seems that Louisiana will not be able to win in a short time!

Zhao Dutian, who had deeply experienced the difference between the map and the actual situation, began to change what he had thought before and directly rushed into St. Louis's battle plan.

The French army in the city of St. Louis is not terrible, what is terrible is that the thousands of kilometers of mountains and forests without any roads in the middle can definitely make the army logistics of the Han Empire completely collapse!
