And this is the James plan formulated by the Americans for the military deployment of the Huo family army, in order to eliminate the main force of the Chinese troops in the United States in one fell swoop, and lay the foundation for the later recovery of the entire American territory west of the Mississippi River.

Although there are huge difficulties in the realization of this plan, as the author of the plan, Ulysses Grant believes that this plan can be realized, especially this year's sudden cold winter temperatures, which has helped the United States** The team is busy, because of the loss of the Ohio River barrier role, the powerful river fleet has become a decoration, then the two corps of the Chinese center line and the northern front are bound to put all their attention on the two corps of the American northern front, and the probability of success of the James plan with the southern front as the focus of the attack will be more than thirty percent!

Although the success rate of James' plan has become greater due to the sudden cold weather in the United States, this plan, which has poured almost all the energy of the US War Department, still faces a major test, and the first thing in front of them is how to break the strong fortress in front of them under the interception of the powerful river fleet of the Chinese!

"General Pierre, it's already December, and the forces we have prepared for James's plan will gradually move south, and as the commander of the southern front of the largest army corps in the history of the United States, and the most important executor of James's plan, you must maintain 100% energy and attention to any military action that follows, especially in terms of secrecy, and resolutely not let our opponents notice the slightest abnormality. Do you understand?" said Ulysses Simpson Grant in a dark, serious tone.

"Don't worry, General! I will do my best to ensure the smooth implementation of the 'James' plan!"

Hear the words. Grant nodded heavily, turned around, listened to the sound of the Mississippi River flowing water even in the cold winter, but still full of water, and looked at the huge fortress thousands of kilometers away, hidden in a thin white morning mist, Grant, who was over seventy years old, couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Although the James plan was out of his hands. However, the experience of fighting Huo Jiajun countless times in the past few years has made this former famous American general, and now the person in power who stands at the top of the United States do not have much confidence. To be able to guarantee the success of this plan, even if it is a 50% success rate, Grant is not very sure in his heart! But as a beautiful person, he loves his country and people. So even if it's only a 1 percent chance. Grant will also do his best to fight for and regain the lost land of the United States!

"General Pierre, we have lost more than two years of land on the other side, and although the land there is very poor, the economy is not very developed, and there are very few American people living there, nearly five million square kilometers of land on the west bank of the Mississippi River still belong to the United States! We have exhausted our national strength to form this huge army in order to be able to defeat the Chinese who have invaded us. And take back the land that belongs to us!"

Speaking of this, Grant's words paused, and a trace of gloom flashed on his originally calm face, "Now more than two million troops are already the largest military strength that we can come up with after the United States has exhausted its national strength. If James' plan still fails, then we will no longer be able to organize such a large-scale military force within ten years, and in this ten years, the Chinese will further consolidate their dominance in the land west of the Mississippi River, and we in the United States will lose that vast land forever! Therefore, this war is our last chance, and we must not give up even if we die!"

Although Ulysses Grant's voice was not high, but his words were calm, they set off a storm in the hearts of these senior officers of the command of the US Southern Front Corps standing beside him!

In order to ensure the top secrecy of the James Plan, all the senior commanders who participated in the Southern Front Corps this time are high-ranking officers trained by the United States itself, compared with those international mercenaries, although they are old and young, but in terms of loyalty and identification with the United States, they are much stronger than those mercenaries from most European countries!

"Don't worry, general! This time we will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese aggression and regain our lost land!" John Joseph Pershing said loudly with a solemn expression.

This outstanding military strategist, who was born at West Point and later became the commander of the Allied Forces of the United States during World War I, known as "General Iron Hammer", although in the current US Army, is still an out-and-out junior, but because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Pittsburgh between the United States and Chinese two years ago, he entered the eyes of the US Army top brass.

Although the Battle of Pittsburgh ultimately failed because of the lack of understanding of the Huo Family's combat effectiveness and fighting methods, as well as weapons and equipment, Pershing's performance was still very recognized by the War Department, so in the new round of expansion of the US Army, John Joseph Pershing, who was only 24 years old, was promoted to major general, commander of the Third Cavalry Corps of the US Army!

Looking at this young and handsome young general with a towering head and a confident military atmosphere, Grant's face couldn't help but show appreciation, relief and expectation!

Nodding slowly, Grant withdrew his gaze from everyone's determined faces, and looked back at the land that once belonged to the United States. Now, although it is only separated by a river, the land on both sides of the river belongs to two countries!

"Whew!" Grant let out a long breath, and after Grant's mind remembered President Alan Arthur's request before his arrival, his gaze became firm again!

——————

The warm and humid air flow blowing from the Pacific Ocean blocks the Siberian cold current from moving towards the ocean, and Taiwan is located in the southeast of the Asian continent, and the Tropic of Cancer passes through the island, so compared to the already cold north, the temperature in Taipei has not dropped below zero, but in order to resist the cooling, it is inevitable to wear more layers of clothing!

At this moment, Huo Shan was wearing a thin brown sweater sewn by Ping'er! But at this time, Huo Shan's attention was not on this love sweater.

Obviously, the map in front of him that reaches 1:25,000 and can clearly show the deployment of Huo Jiajun and the United States can attract his attention even more!

Holding the pencil pointing to the map in his hand, with a thoughtful gaze, slowly moving on the entire map, this posture Huo Shan has been maintained for more than an hour, but despite this, it still can't alleviate his worries about the situation in the Americas thousands of miles away at this moment!

"Alas!" Huo Shan couldn't help but sigh deeply when he looked at the map in front of him, he never thought that at this stall where the Sino-American war was about to break out, something would go wrong again!

"Brother Shan, what worries you so much?"

Hearing this crisp sound like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, Huo Shan's irritable mood suddenly calmed down!

Turning around and looking at the beautiful girl standing behind him with a bowl of soup, Huo Shan's eyes showed infinite tenderness!

"Wen Yi, why haven't you gone to rest so late?"

Hearing his words, He Wenyi smiled sweetly, after she followed her father to Taiwan, she lived in Huojia Villa, and she had a gentle personality and Huo Shan, who came from later generations and engraved equality between men and women in her bones, got along very happily, and the relationship between the two who had already been engaged was naturally getting deeper and deeper.

And what makes Huo Shan most satisfied is that his wife, who has already made up her mind, does not have the squeamishness of a young lady from a big family, and Ping'er, who grew up like Huo Shan's childhood sweetheart, is very good, but Huo Shan, who has always been worried about them, is really relieved!

"I saw that the light in Brother Shan's study was still on just now, so I asked the kitchen to sit on a bowl of ginseng soup and brought it to you! But seeing that you were so involved just now, I didn't dare to disturb you!" As she spoke, He Wenyi put the tray in her hand on the table on the side, her plain hand was as white as onion jade, picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl on the top, shook it lightly, walked to Huo Shan's side, and handed it over!

The beauty is kind, Huo Shan naturally can't live up to it, so after taking the soup in the girl's hand, Huo Shan didn't care whether it was hot or not, opened the lid, and drank it all in a few big gulps!

"Hey, slow down, be careful!" Seeing him gobbling up, He Wenyi couldn't help but hurriedly took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth for the man he had begun to slowly like.

Looking at the girl's bright eyes and teeth, her picturesque face showed a strange look, and between the eye waves, her whole body revealed a seductive style, which made Huo Shan, a man who has matured psychologically, can't help but feel a little impulsive!

Especially after thinking that the beautiful girl in front of him was already his fiancée, Young Master Huo's heart suddenly became hot.

Putting down the empty soup bowl in his hand, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pulled the moving girl who was a little shy at the moment with his fiery eyes closer to his arms.

In the face of the sudden hug, the girl's expression was stunned, and two good-looking red clouds suddenly floated behind her ears, and the sudden aura of a strange man made He Wenyi, who had never been so close to a strange man, throb in her heart! Although she also thought about struggling at the moment when she was embraced by Huo Shan, she quieted down after understanding that the person in front of her might be her husband a month later.
