Chapter 1144 Relations between the two countries deteriorated

Early 24 years

After the Ocean Empire brazenly sent troops to intervene in the North American war, the originally good situation took a sharp turn for the worse, which caused great fear among the government and military of the United States, and they gritted their teeth and threw more troops into the Chicago front, setting off round after round of fierce attacks.

However, God no longer bless America.

The main force of the Japanese army on the northern front stood firm in the tidal attack of the United States, gritted its teeth and struggled to hold on, and finally waited for reinforcements from the southern corps and precious airdropped supplies.

All this has shaken the confidence of the top level of the US military, and huge differences have emerged.

"The assault must not be stopped, and there is no point in talking about the number of casualties at this time, we must continue to exert maximum pressure on the Japanese army and inflict serious casualties on it, which is the key to resolving the crisis."

Lieutenant General Garwitz, the planner of Operation Christmas, argues with reason, in his opinion;

Since the fall of Denver again, the Japanese army has opened up reinforcements from the north and south, and with the strong support of the Royal Air Force of the Ocean Empire, it has gradually turned the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.

This is a critical time

The only way to do this was to use the tactic of "hurting people with the original" to carry out a more fierce attack on the Chicago front, which was stubbornly defended by the Japanese army, so that the Fuso people shed the last drop of blood.

It may sound like the North American version of the "Battle of Verdun", but it is really the most viable approach at the moment.

Reinforcements from Fuso to North America have arrived, but so far they have only four divisions and about 90,000 troops.

The difficulty of the transoceanic expedition was far greater than you imagined, and the cost of transporting troops to North America across the vast Pacific Ocean was enough to make you vomit blood, and Fuso was no exception.

Experienced the devastation of war

The total population of the Japanese theater in North America was between 2.7 million and 2.8 million, and the total number of people who could fight was less than one million, which was the fatal flaw of Fuso.

As long as the offensive spirit of the Fusang Kingdom is smoothed out, it is equivalent to one less powerful thug in the Ocean Empire, and if it can cause heavy casualties to its direct army, it may be ......

Paying too much price, the Ocean Empire may choose to retreat, and this is the only chance for the United States to win.

This is widely recognized by German military officers and hard-line American generals, but the government and some moderate generals hope to negotiate a solution to the current thorny war.

In real terms, the United States has not lost any land, but has recovered some industrial towns in the Great Lakes region.

The reason for the retreat is that the people in the rear of the US side are panicked, and there is already chaos in society.

A large number of "elite foreigners," "capitulation factions," "independent autonomy factions," as well as separatists and cults, have seized the opportunity to stir up trouble and deceive people's minds, incite remarks against the current government, and hold large-scale strikes and demonstrations from time to time, causing a miasma.

The war against Japan won the support of most of the Chinese people, but it was another matter to start a war with the Ocean Empire.

The pride that remains in the hearts of the rice cowboys is unacceptable to the short Fuso man who lost to the peeas in the war, but the loss to the Ocean Empire, most of the rice cowboys feel that it is logical and not abrupt at all.

Germany, which claims to be the strongest army in the world, has been defeated, and it is not ugly for the people of the United States to lose the war, right?

This kind of very strange thinking is very popular in today's rice society.

Since taking the lead in launching the Third US-Japan War, the United States has invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and resources on the front line, and the total number of casualties has reached more than 700,000.

To deal with the die-hard Fuso people, we must pay a heavy price in blood.

So far, the U.S. military has been offensive-led on the Chicago battlefield on the Northern Front, with a total of between 530,000 and 540,000 casualties, which can be described as costly.

At the beginning of the war

The U.S. victory in Kansas City on the Eastern Front and the subsequent reconquest of Denver met with stubborn resistance from 130,000 Japanese troops, with fewer than 10,000 captured and the rest killed.

It can be seen that the tenacity of the Japanese army's fighting style is far superior to that of the American army.

With the superiority of tank armored forces, artillery and air power, the US army still paid a heavy price of more than 170,000 casualties, of which more than 70,000 were killed and nearly 100,000 were seriously wounded.

Objectively speaking

With 70,000 to 120,000, the U.S. military did achieve a brilliant victory, leading in this statistic for the first time in three consecutive U.S.-Japan wars.

However, the price of achieving this achievement was the consumption of more than 3.6 million rounds of artillery shells, the loss of more than 540 "Wilson" tanks, more than 1,300 wheeled combat vehicles, 173 aircraft, and thousands of artillery pieces.

More than 360,000 men of the US Fourth Army and the First Division of the Fifth Army, which were mainly responsible for the offensive, suffered heavy losses, and the battle losses reached as much as 40 percent, which was already broken to the extent that their muscles and bones were broken.

Although more than 100,000 recruits were replenished in the follow-up, the overall combat effectiveness declined sharply, and as a result, it was defeated by the Second North American Army under the Ocean Empire, which only lasted for three days.

When the war reached this critical point, the fatal flaw of the United States, as a country of immigrants, was exposed without a single subject nation, that is, the sense of national identity and cohesion were too poor.

Anti-war demonstrations erupted across the country, and various separatist rhetoric and groups appeared on the stage, evoking in people's hearts the horrific memories of being once dominated by the Ocean Empire through speeches, newspapers, public opinion, radio stations, and other means.

The glory that the victorious recapture of Denver brought to the American people two months ago is long gone, and the halo is gone.

The Ocean Empire brazenly sent troops to intervene in the situation in North America, Denver fell again, the main arteries of the north and south of the Japanese army were reopened, and the Japanese army on the Chicago front ushered in strong reinforcements......

All this is like a disaster like the sky falling apart for the people of the United States, and many people's confidence in winning the final war has long collapsed.

The popular approval index, which best reflects this change, has plummeted from a peak of more than 80 percent to less than 40 percent, a rollercoaster of data that has made William Taft white happy in just two and a half months.

The worst thing is that the United States, as a democratically elected government, will hold midterm elections for congressmen in 24 years, re-electing one-third of the members of the Senate and half of the members of the House of Representatives, and the current election curtain has begun.

The Elephant Party legislators, who were originally full of confidence to participate in the election, were in a state of sudden decline in the election under the face of repeated bad news on the front line, and the prospect of victory turned into a gloomy prospect, and they were so anxious from top to bottom that they jumped to their feet.

As a result, a powerful peace faction was born on the part of the government, which demanded that a mission be dispatched as soon as possible to contact the Ocean Empire and the Japanese side to explore the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the situation in North America, so as to ensure that the current bad war situation would not spread.

Although there are huge differences between the US government and the military, the war will still go on without a negotiated treaty, the current offensive operations will still be maintained, countless resources will still have to be invested in this war quagmire, and a large number of US soldiers will be recruited.

The people of the United States had nothing to do about the intervention of the Ocean Empire in the North American war, so they could only turn to the British, who had sworn at the beginning.

London's reaction was particularly strong, publicly issuing a serious diplomatic note, strongly demanding that the Ocean Empire change its wrong decision, withdraw its troops, and stop erroneously intervening further and further down the road of North American situation, repeatedly provoking the bottom line of the British Empire.

The Ocean Empire's approach was also very simple, categorically rejecting the British side's request, and the diplomatic department reiterated the true attitude expressed by the Emperor of the Ocean Empire, Li Fushou, when he visited the Republic of Virginia four years ago;

The Reich did not recognize or be obliged to guarantee the so-called special rights and interests of Great Britain in North America.

North America (excluding Canada) is the traditional sphere of influence of the Ocean Empire, and as an Ocean Empire with an important mission of leading the world, it has the responsibility to maintain peace and stability in the region, and has the responsibility to punish the United States that provokes war without authorization, and does not need the understanding and consent of any country, including the United Kingdom.

Therefore, the Ocean Empire rejects all unreasonable accusations and does not accept British representations, and London just needs to take care of its own affairs.

The official attitude of the government of the Ocean Empire was tough and forceful, and it was reported on the front pages of major media around the world for the first time, and two of the official words attracted great attention from countries around the world.

The first definition is "the oceanic empire that shoulders the important mission of leading the world", which is a public exposition of the government's foreign policy and a basic national policy in the future, and is generally valued by countries around the world.

Will the Ocean Empire be able to afford such a high level of positioning, and will war break out in Britain, the global hegemon?

The melon-eating masses waited with great interest, and even Paris could not intervene in such a world-class battle, and after suffering a heavy blow from the world war, they had given up their ambitions to compete in the world.

On the contrary, the Kingdom of Italy jumped very high and had a high tone, closely following in the footsteps of Britain, and was willing to contribute money and troops to follow the British expeditionary force and intervene in the situation in North America.

The eyes of the Italians are still firmly fixed on Libya occupied by the oceanic empire, and they have no idea how many pounds and taels they have, trying to snatch a piece of the pie in the battle for hegemony between the two powers.

The second definition is that "North America (excluding Canada) is the traditional sphere of influence of the Ocean Empire", which excludes Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.

Britain was furious about this, saying that it could never accept it.

As early as 1803, the French Emperor Napoleon sold the French Louisiana to the Americans, and there was no territorial dispute.

The North American continent is fighting for life and death, and Paris is now unable to participate, the most important thing is to restore production, restore the seriously wounded national strength and empty treasury.

The Germans, on the other hand, were lying flat, holding general strikes and nationwide non-cooperation campaigns across the country, protesting against the 100,000 French troops to occupy the Ruhr region, protesting against the huge war reparations of the Entente bloc, fighting for a piece of bread for the urban poor and their families to survive, and their own messes were not caring for the American cowboys on the other side of the Atlantic.
