Chapter 1042 Move the capital
Looking at the silence and bleakness of the verdant mountains and forests in front of him, only the whining of the cold mountain wind howling through the valley, Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth's heart was furious, in his eyes; It was as if every bush was hiding from behind a short Fuso soldier, who would suddenly come out with a bright bayonet, fierce and fearless.
Damn it, these little books that kill a thousand knives.
Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth shook his head with a headache, these poor and fierce Fuso soldiers had become a curse for the United States, crossing the Colorado Plateau defense line and in fact posing a serious threat to the Central Great Plains.
The Second American-Japanese War broke out
The Fuso people avoided the strong frontal defense line and attacked from the south of Mexico, catching the Mi people off guard. Such a serious violation of international norms and the sovereignty of other countries was condemned only by the Ocean Empire, and the European countries hardly expressed anything.
The Entente group was collectively silent, with London defining it as "a border conflict that broke out at an inopportune time", and countries such as France and Russia did not want to be coerced by the Fuso to join the North American war, and also agreed with London's definition.
This is the border conflict, which is a shame.
around the world
Only Wilhelm II of the German Empire showed extreme indignation and denounced it; "The Fuso, the lackeys of the British, brazenly provoked a new war in North America, flagrantly trampled on international norms, and seriously violated Mexico's national sovereignty, which was a new crime committed by the Entente. Germany, as well as all the Allies, were on the side of the innocent and beautiful strong. Support the just war against aggression in the United States. ”
After the German boss spoke, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria issued official positions in support of the just war of the United States.
The question is; The olive branch of the allies, the people of the United States dare not accept it.
After running for re-election, the Davin Porter government of the United States only expressed its gratitude in private diplomatic occasions and thanked the allies for supporting the just struggle of the United States.
In the central and eastern industrial cities of the United States, the people of the United States, who are dominated by the local German community, believe that;
In order to truly realize the independence, sovereignty and integrity of the country, and break the blockade of the old international order led by Britain, France and other countries, the United States should join the allies in waging war against Fuso and expel the aggressors.
A few sections of radical rhetoric have even gone so far as to say; War reparations should be refused, and the United States should be fully armed, overthrowing the largest black hand ocean empire that suppressed the United States, and restoring its former glory.
This kind of rhetoric represents the dream of many of the country's upper-level political elites, including the views of Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth and a considerable part of the government.
But they can only think about it, they dare not say.
Privately
President Davin Porter once said to Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth, "There is an unseen, untouchable undercurrent in the world today that pushes the United States into the arms of the Allies, and this is what we are distressed about and to be wary of." We have enough troubles of our own and do not have the energy to mix in the muddy waters of Europe anymore. ”
"War has left the country in shambles, and in the face of the bad examples of Texas and California, separatist forces in the Southern states are particularly rampant, and preserving the unity and integrity of the current state is the most important task of the current federal government."
Alas......
With a soft sigh, Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth turned away from the front headquarters, his figure looking a little gloomy.
In the tide of the times, he is just a trivial pawn, all he can do is sit in the rear, suppress any compromise and surrender, and then send the young Mi young man to the battlefield like a bottomless pit.
The number of troops he can use is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of troops that he can really use is less than 50,000, which is one-third of the original total force.
In the first phase of the 58-day defensive operation, the 150,000 American troops in the Gallup fortress area performed quite well, killing a total of 33,700 Japanese soldiers and wounding 81,100 people.
In this battle, the U.S. army lost 26,300 casualties and wounded 45,500, with a total of 71,800 casualties, nearly half, and it itself reached the level of breaking its muscles and bones.
The second phase of the battle lasted for more than a month, under the onslaught of the Japanese army, the outer positions were continuously lost, the American troops suffered more than 28,000 casualties, nearly 20,000 were captured, lost a large number of positions, and were forced to retreat to the last core position.
It is clear that the US military's defense is rapidly weakening.
In the second phase of the battle, the American army lost more than 8,700 people, but the total number of troops lost was close to 50,000.
In the more than three months since the end of the war, more than 17,000 people have returned from injuries.
This left the number of troops in the hands of Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth, barely reaching more than 50,000 men, and more than 30,000 wounded and sick, which was really a full battalion of wounded soldiers, which became a heavy burden.
Falling into the hands of the Fuso, how many of these wounded soldiers survived to the end of the war?
Admiral Fred C. Ainsworth did not dare to think about such a heavy question, how could the Fuso people not even care for their own wounded and sick people, and use precious medicine and medical resources on the prisoners of the United States?
The next day, at dawn
199 Japanese commandos wearing white cloaks appeared on the mountainside of the 553 Heights like gods, and it took them only more than 10 minutes to break through the blockade of the US guards.
Then there were gunshots and explosions on the top of the mountain, and the ping-pong resounded through the valley, which could be heard clearly from a distance of more than ten kilometers, and lasted intermittently for half an hour, and finally there was a resounding ammunition explosion, and the top of the mountain shook the mountain, and the fire soared into the sky.
After the attack on the artillery position on the top of the hill, the US commander immediately reacted, and in a fit of rage, he dispatched infantry units to counterattack to the top of the mountain, trying to rush to the top of the hill to destroy the enemy.
At this time, the position of the artillery guard unit that had found the Japanese surprise attack suddenly opened fire, and the three 14.5 mm heavy machine gun positions poured out crazy firepower, and the dense rain of bullets intertwined fired condescendingly.
These Japanese soldiers have fought a tough battle for half a year, and this time they can finally raise their eyebrows and exhale a good breath, and kill and injure the American troops with a dense rain of bullets, all of them screaming excitedly.
It didn't take long
Three red balloons rose from the top of the mountain, representing the complete destruction of the two hilltop artillery battalion positions, and the mission was successfully completed.
These 199 Japanese warriors who assaulted the top of the mountain did not expect to come back alive from the day they accepted the mission. If you can complete the mission and open the victory path for the attacking army, you can only look forward to meeting at the shrine one day!
When the three red balloons were raised, cheers were heard from the Japanese position; "Plate planting, board planting, the imperial army is mighty." The cheers echoed through the valley, moving the mountains and rivers and terrifying the enemy.
Marshal Oyamaiwa's eyes couldn't help but moisten in this warm atmosphere, and he muttered; "The Yamato warriors led by Watanabe-kun have written a miracle in the history of modern warfare, and after the war, Marshal Ben will personally send their heroic spirits back to the native shrine to be laid to enjoy the sacrifices of the countrymen, and the incense is endless, and now I order; Fire. ”
"Your Excellency Marshal commands; Fire. ”
The staff officers in the headquarters shouted wildly with their telephones, and quickly conveyed the order to the various artillery positions scattered in the mountains and dense forests, and in an instant, the artillery fire rang out in unison, pouring countless shells towards the American positions on the opposite side, and the explosion was all over the mountains with wildfires and earth.
The brutal battle has kicked off again.
……
More than ten days later
April 8
It was when the grass grew and the warbler flew and the sun was just right, Li Fushou led a large group of people to ride horses in Canberra to survey the terrain, breathing the fragrant air of grass and earth in the mountains, and his mood was particularly cheerful.
"Ali, you see that there are mountains, rivers and great plains, how good the environment is, the natural climate is comfortable and pleasant, and the geographical location is also moderate, which is conducive to the relayout of the national economic map and changes the situation that the north is heavy and the south is light, I am ready to divide all 7,500 square kilometers in this vicinity into the new capital area, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty's wisdom is that the population of the Red River Valley metropolitan area today has reached 7.27 million, and the neighboring city of Brisbane has 1.66 million people. The empire is vast enough that it doesn't need to be crammed into one place. ”
"Yes, after 40 years of development, the Red River Valley metropolitan area is no longer enough to support more people, and the resources of the entire empire are all gathered in the projectile land, how can it last long?"
Li Fushou looked at the endless green plain in front of him, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face. The onyx-like Morangolo River runs through Canberra and flows west into the Marambiggee River.
Looking to the west, the green mountains at the end of the line of sight are the foothills of the Kosciuszko Mountains, a large valley between the mountains of the environmentalist, and more than 60 rivers and streams originating in the Kosciasco Mountains, which meander through the vast green plains, which are the most fertile sheep pastures.
At the beginning, the feudal land of the nobles and the meritorious field were divided, and this vast area was deliberately avoided, just in order to move the capital here one day, and now the time is ripe.
The proposal to move the capital did not begin today, as some members of the National Assembly put forward a bill to move the capital more than 10 years ago, and there were many discussions between the government and the opposition, with some in favor and some against.
Over time
Living in the bustling metropolis of the Red River Valley, housing prices are high, the cost of living is high, the traffic is congested and the rent is expensive, although a lot of subways and elevated ring lines have been built, but there are still frequent congestion.
All kinds of metropolitan diseases are gradually revealed, and this world-class metropolis that people love and hate, it takes three hours to walk from east to west, which is really too big.
Canberra's geographical advantages are obvious, it is a small city with a population of more than 170,000 people, a mild climate, four distinct seasons, average rainfall throughout the year, and sunny days in all seasons. There are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.
Located in the Great Plains of the Valley, 238 kilometres north of Sydney and 507 kilometres south of Melbourne, the coastal railway crosses the city centre, the Ring Australia Highway, and the west across the Kosciasco foothills crosses the inland semi-arid grassland terrain to Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.
It is far enough away from the northern big cities of Sydney, Beilun, and Melbourne in the south, with a broad depth of development, and will exclude all heavy industries in the plan, in order to develop the emerging electronic and electrical industry, cashmere textile industry, new aircraft materials, machinery and new technology industries, and build a centralized imperial administrative center, education and cultural industry center city, which will be a completely Chinese Tang style palace style based on the imperial capital, showing the magnificent charm of the Oriental imperial capital.
Of course, the name Canberra also needs to be changed.
Walking on the Great Plains on horseback, Li Fushou was in a very good mood, he said with a smile; "Ali, the affairs of your government are also complicated and busy right now. So be it. I sent Tinggan to you to grasp the package of planning and construction of the new capital, and he did things very much to my heart, what do you think? ”
"Weichen thanks the saint for his compassion, there is a court brother to come out, that is really a good thing that you can't ask for."
"Okay, the overall design plan of the new capital area can be collected in advance, and the surrounding railways, highways and reservoirs, power stations and other projects can be constructed in advance, and it will take 2~3 years to prepare for the work, and we must do every detail in a down-to-earth and in place, and build the imperial capital with a forward-looking vision for the 20th century, leaving a valuable wealth for future generations."
After Li Fushou said that, Prime Minister Zhang Li, Secretary-General Cai Tinggan and others who followed him solemnly accepted the order, feeling the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
In a few words, the plan to move the capital was decided, Li Fushou turned his horse's head and headed towards the palace, and the surrounding royal guards and personal guard officers quickly stepped forward, and the galloping cavalry swept across the grassland like outstretched wings, isolating a large safe area.
Before the Holy Majesty's arrival, the entire city had been under curfew for three days, and a large-scale security screening had been carried out, and many lawbreakers and half-black and half-white figures were swept away, and they were all put in detention centers for examination one by one.
Today, the tanks and armoured vehicles of the Royal Janissaries closed all the nearby roads, prohibiting any vehicles.
The same is true in the city of Canberra, the purpose is to prevent bad people from driving vehicles in an attempt to disadvantage the saints, and to take precautions in advance.
Every detail shows the professional ability of the Royal Praetorian Guard, and will not give anyone a chance.
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Sarajevo detonated the current world war.
If there is any mistake in the Holy Lord, it is an unbearable burden for the Empire.
