After listening to Wu Guangzong's words, Deng Shan laughed twice, "Since you are so confident, then I can rest assured! However, now we have a deep enmity with the Americans! Now they are stepping up efforts to reorganize their troops and raise military supplies, but if they want to start a new war, they will need at least one or two months of preparation time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info So, for such a long time, we can't wait here for them to come here and beat us, right?"

"Of course it can't be! Now our Huo family army has the advantage, and I'm not a person who likes to defend!" As he spoke, Wu Guangzong picked up the long-pole whip that was placed aside, took two steps forward, and stood next to the large map of the United States hanging on the wall!

"Lao Deng, I've been thinking about how we should fight the next battle these days, and now I have a simple military strategy, plus the military headquarters supports our three divisions and 60,000 troops, which makes me more confident now! Come and see!" said the whip in his hand and slammed on the large map on the wall!

"This is the Mississippi River, the largest river in the United States, the fourth largest river in the world, second only to our Yangtze River! It is 6,262 kilometers long from the source of the Missouri River, the largest tributary of the eastern Rocky Mountains. The basin stretches from the vicinity of the Great Lakes in the north, to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, to the Appalachian Mountains in the east, and to the Rocky Mountains in the west, covering an area of 3.22 million square kilometers, accounting for about one-eighth of the area of North America. There are more than 250 tributaries in total, and the west bank has more and longer tributaries than the east bank. Huge asymmetrical dendritic water systems are formed. It also forms the largest plain in the central United States. ”

"Its main course runs from south to north, dividing the United States into two parts. The water is wide and the current is turbulent, and as long as we can defend it by the river, it will become a natural obstacle for us to block the westward advance of the Americans! Taking this as an example, the Ohio River, the Cumberland River, the Tennessee River, and other rivers east of the Mississippi River also have the same effect! In the case that there is no danger to defend on the plains, these large rivers are our best line of defense!"

"Especially now that the Americans do not have the time and strength to take care of us, occupy all the American cities west of these rivers as quickly as possible, and then build strong pillboxes and fortifications along the rivers!

When the time comes, it will be possible to make the Americans. Bleeding from their heads in front of these strong fortifications, and constantly draining their strength, I am afraid that they will be exhausted by us before they reach the western states!"

Looking at the map of the United States hanging on the wall, Deng Shan admitted that Wu Guangzong really had a good idea, but the current expeditionary force still has a very big flaw that is difficult to make up!

"Guangzong, your military strategy is very good, but within the large triangle of the Ohio River to the Mississippi River. There are dozens of cities in the United States with a population of more than 100,000! Among them, there are Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Detrojin, and Buffalo, which have a population of more than 500,000! In addition to Chicago and Milwaukee, which we now occupy! The Great Lakes region, the most important region in the United States, has a population of nearly 20 million!

Even if we add the three divisions reinforced to us by the army headquarters, our Northern Route Army only has 110,000 people, how can we take such a large territory. Even if we take it down, I'm afraid that just suppressing the resistance of the Americans will be enough for us to be anxious! How can we still have the strength and time to complete the task assigned by the young master!" Deng Shan couldn't help but persuade!

You must know that Huo Shan's task for them is to loot as much as possible the entire United States for Jingying talents, as well as industrial equipment and other valuable things that can be taken away!

Although Deng Shan also agreed. Before the Americans had the strength to attack them, take some more cities. But he had never thought of taking such a big step at once!

If he hadn't known that his old friend was usually very cautious and not a person who was happy with great achievements! He doubted that Wu Guangzong would have been dazzled by the victories of the Huo Jiajun in a series of wars and the weak military strength of the Americans!

looked at the look on his face and stopped talking. Wu Guangzong couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry! I'm calm. I also know what I'm doing! Old Deng, come on, come and take a look!" Wu Guangzong said as he put down the whip and walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a document, and handed it to Deng Shan.

"This document was handed over to us by the General Political Department, and it was also instructed by the young master! They considered that we were a guest army and did not have the support of the local people here, so they came up with such a method for us!"

"Negro?" Deng Shan couldn't help but say in surprise after reading the document.

"Hehe, that's right! It's black! Since the Age of Discovery, the United States has been the largest importer of African black slaves! Over the past few hundred years, coupled with natural reproduction, the black population in the United States has reached nearly 8 million, and although most of them are distributed in the southern states, there are also quite a few blacks in the northern region! On average, two out of 10 people are blacks, and of course the proportion is even higher in the south!"

"The military headquarters means that you want to build an army out of blacks?"

Looking at the surprised expression on Deng Shan's face, Wu Guangzong smiled faintly, "Yes! Although the Civil War in the United States was caused by the emancipation of slaves, after the American Civil War, the status of black slaves has not been improved in the slightest, and their status is even lower than that of our Chinese workers in the United States! A long-oppressed class, there must be too much anger in their hearts, and our task is to channel this anger reasonably and let them be used by our Huo Jiajun!" Think about it, how strong is the anger of eight million, nearly one-sixth of the entire United States! As long as we give them weapons and train them in the army! Let them fight with us, and I believe that it will not be a problem at all to take over the Great Lakes, the most important region for the Americans!"

After hearing his words, Deng Shan's face couldn't help but show a strong sense of anticipation! With the help of these eight million people, they can be regarded as fighting on their own soil!

Moreover, these black armies that became the servants of the Huo family's army, although their combat effectiveness was not good in the early days. But let them garrison the place and prevent the white rebellion. If you dig trenches, carry ammunition, build fortifications, and help the Huo family army carry machinery and equipment, then there must be no problem at all! At that time, only 10,000 Huo family troops only need to lead these servant armies, then their rear will also be impregnable!

"Okay, it's really great! This method of the young master is really absolutely amazing! Anyway, we don't like the military equipment we have captured from the Americans. It's fitting to arm these blacks with them! And cities like Chicago and Milwaukee are big industrial cities, and there are also a few military factories, so it doesn't take much effort to produce these rifles and ammunition!

"Yes! 'Where there is oppression, there is resistance,' I now understand the meaning of the young master's words! In the past, these blacks were used to being oppressed by whites, so they didn't dare to fire fire! Now we give them guns. Give them ziyou, give them power! It's like a drowning person suddenly breathing air, and they'll hold on to it!" Wu Guangzong said with a smile.

"Well! The young master is still very powerful! All of a sudden, it has hit the soft underbelly of the Americans! As a country of immigrants, its people come from all directions! They have different moral outlooks and values, and it is very difficult to form a unified nation in just over 100 years! The cohesion is too poor! Moreover, the contradictions between whites and blacks are very acute! It can be said that the United States is already hiding a very deep crisis. It's just that it's usually overshadowed by economic and industrial prosperity! Now that we have led it out, the Americans will be surprised! But although the blacks are easy to use, we must control it well, otherwise they will bite us back, and then we will be miserable!" Deng Shan said with a frown.

"You're right. Once a person has power, his mind is no longer pure! The same is true for black people! But I think the CIA will solve the problem for us! Not really. Let the sea lions take care of them!" said Wu Guangzong Shen Sèyin coldly.

"If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different! You don't need to be polite to them! We don't want to occupy these places in the first place! What we need is the wealth here, and as for the land, let's leave it to the blacks and the whites of America to fight for!"

"Old Deng, I think so! You will be responsible for the formation of a black army! The cities around Chicago also have a large black population, and they can provide us with enough qualified soldiers!"

As long as it can enhance the strength of the Huo Family's expeditionary force, Deng Shan agreed without hesitation, "Then how many of our first batch of black servants are appropriate?"

After hearing his words, Wu Guangzong lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Now that we don't have many weapons in our hands, let's recruit 40,000 first! As for Wang Guangzong, he will be in charge!"

"Well! Yes! 40,000 is already a lot! In the absence of a formal military factory, it is not suitable for forming too many troops! If we want to continue to expand the army in the later period, many of the other three provisional divisions are Chinese workers in the United States, they know English, and we have no shortage of instructors! The size of the black army can be rapidly expanded at any time!" Deng Shan said.

"That's fine, anyway, we don't need them to fight for us for the time being, train them for half a month, let them learn to shoot guns and basic queues, and be able to maintain law and order in the city for us! We don't need to spend too much effort on them!" Wu Guangzong said seriously.

"I understand, don't worry!"

As the two of them discussed sentence by sentence, the combat strategy of the Huo Family's Army in the American Theater, which had undergone a lot of revisions, became clearer and clearer!

Soon, in Chicago, Milwaukee, and other American cities occupied by the Huo family's army, advertisements were plastered with recruitment! Five dollars a month, including food and lodging! And it was indicated that only blacks, in good health, and between the ages of 18 and 40 were recruited!

Blacks who are usually oppressed have never regarded the United States as their motherland, so after Huo Jiajun deliberately lifted the blockade, a large number of blacks poured out of their homes and saw this recruitment advertisement! Although they did not know that there was an economic crisis in the United States, the salary of five dollars a month attracted a large number of blacks to sign up!

You know, when they work under the white people, they often don't get paid!

In this way, the Huo family army recruited more than 40,000 blacks in less than three days with the banknotes they had seized from the Bank of America! Moreover, they were carefully selected! As for the Southern Route Army led by Wang Xiangzong, it recruited 80,000 men for the first time! There were too many blacks in the south, and in addition, the physical fitness of the blacks was already good! So so many people were recruited for the first time!

Although there were not enough rifles issued to them because of the number of people, there were enough revolvers! Anyway, their role was to maintain law and order, and it was enough to have pistols!
