Chapter 271: Rocky Mountain is the boundary

After listening to the young master's words, Huo Long frowned tightly, although he also thought that Britain and France might intervene when the war between the Huo family army and the United States reached a certain level! But he didn't expect that the threat to the Huo family's strategy in the Americas would be so great!

If it is really as the young master speculated, then the Huo family army will really be in a dilemma!

"Young Master, what should we do? Do we have to hand over all the American lands that have been occupied?" Huo Long's eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he said with a face full of unwillingness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"No! Now that we have obtained this with the Americans, and we have agreed to the military plan for the American theater! It is impossible to go back to the past! If I had to choose between the British and American threats and the military mentality, I would definitely choose the latter! Huo Shan said with a firm expression.

"Young Master, how can we deal with Britain and France, after our military operation, they will probably not sit idly by anymore!" Huo Long asked with some worry on his face.

"We don't know how far the British and French will interfere with the changes, so we have to do our own thing first! But this military operation is our last attack on the eastern part of the United States! We can't act privately without orders in the future! Now we have seized enough supplies in the United States. It's enough for us to digest for a long time!

"Also, if British and French diplomats come to the door. That means that we are willing to negotiate with the Americans, and that we have no intention of destroying the United States! We just want to cancel the 'Chinese Exclusion Act' and then compensate and apologize to the Chinese who have suffered in the previous tragedies! In addition, in order to make up for our losses this time, the Americans must cede the three western coastal states and Alaska! As for compensation, forget it, I guess it is even the above articles. The Americans will not agree either!"

As for the intervention of Britain and France, the French are not afraid, they have a feud with the Germans, and they will not draw too strong troops to deal with us! Moreover, the contradictions between Britain and France may not be able to come together! The key is the British! It seems that they still have to continue to find something to do with the British!

"Young Master, what's the matter?"

"When you go back. It is not too difficult for us to immediately use the secret lines of the military intelligence in Afghanistan to secretly stir up hatred among the Afghans against the British, and now that the second Anglo-Afghan war has only ended less than two years ago. Of course, it would be better if you could involve the Russians in the north! In addition, there is the Balkans, which are the powder keg of Europe! Serbia and Bulgaria are both countries with many Slavs. Russia and Austria-Hungary are at odds here, and the Russians have been seeking to control the two key straits of Turkey and get an outlet to the Mediterranean! These are all places where we can take advantage of them! In short, your military headquarters must find a way to use their strength to create chaos in these places. Distract Britain, France, Germany and other European countries!" Huo Shan's words paused, and he said with a cold expression: "Don't forget how we easily seized the Hawaiian Islands. Hades is invincible!"

"Yes, I understand, young master!" Huo Long understood that in order to keep the booty of the Huo family's army in the Americas, Huo Shan had already done everything!

But anyway, it's all dog-eat-dog between capitalist countries, and it's beneficial to Huo Jiajun, of course Huo Long is willing to do such a thing!

"Also, after you go back, tell Li Yunfeng of the General Armament Department and ask them to increase the production of landmines! We don't have so many troops in the United States, so we can use mines to block the passage and defend the position, saving time and effort, and it is also convenient! In addition, I agree to Wu Guangzong's establishment of a military factory in San Francisco! You ask Li Yunfeng to send a few capable men from the Taiping Military Factory to go there and use the machines and workers we have captured in the United States to build the factory first! We don't have to be busy with the production of weapons first, and we can solve the ammunition consumption of our front-line troops! In addition, the food, medicine, and other logistical materials needed by the troops can be captured on the spot in the United States, so we don't have to worry, so that our logistics can support more troops!"

"Young Master, have you agreed to continue to send additional troops to the American Theater?" Huo Long couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"No!" Huo Shan shook his head, looking at the stunned sage on Huo Long's face, he couldn't help but smile, "I found that you guys are getting more and more bold, and if you give you more troops, I'm afraid that Wu Guangzong's military plan to attack Washington and New York will be submitted to my desk again!"

Hearing this, Huo Long's face showed embarrassment! It seems that this is really the case, since the Huo Jiajun landed in the United States, the military has expanded the scale of the war again and again! The troops of the three divisions last time originally wanted to consolidate the current occupied area of the Huojia Army and bring back the captured materials and talents from several big cities, such as Chicago, Houston, Milwaukee, and New Orleans! How do you know that the Theater of America Command, which is full of confidence, directly created an ironclad encirclement for him, and the grand plan of advancing eastward to occupy the Great Lakes region of the United States, involving 500,000 troops!

Of course, there are some reasons why this plan can be passed, including the reason why Huo Shan himself covets the wealth of the Great Lakes region of the United States! However, despite this, he still retains a sense of reason and knows that he can no longer allow the troops to continue to advance eastward! Therefore, he sent a telegram to Wu Guangzong and asked his American theater to hold on to the west of the Mississippi River for a year! In fact, it was to wake him up that Huo Shan would not take another step to the east, and all that remained was to defend and get back the spoils that belonged to Huo's army!

Of course, Wu Guangzong also understood what he meant, and issued an order to build fortifications along the river, and did not order all troops not to cross the Ohio and Mississippi rivers!

"Then, young master, are we just letting the Americas Theater go untouched?" Huo Long couldn't help but ask.

"How is it possible? We are emigrating to the western part of the United States!" Huo Shan said affirmatively.

"Immigrants, weren't you ...... before?"

Looking at the surprised look on his face, Huo Shan smiled faintly, "A very important reason why I didn't agree to Wu Guangzong's application for immigration and the construction of the railroad before was that I didn't plan to occupy the three western states of the United States! But today I saw their strategic plan! I suddenly understood, no matter what kind of war we have with the United States now?" Whether Britain and France will send troops to intervene, or even if we take the initiative to withdraw from the United States and make compromises, the relationship between our Huo Jiajun and the Americans will become a country hostile to each other like Germany and France, and there will be no chance of relaxation!"

Moreover, the United States has a vast territory and abundant resources, and as a Western country, it can easily obtain Western immigration and technology! Therefore, the United States naturally has the potential to become a world power! Before this economic crisis, its gross national product had surpassed that of Germany and France, becoming the second largest in the world after Britain, and the output of steel and coal, which represent the symbols of a great power, also ranked first in the world! Even if the war and the economic crisis have greatly weakened the economic and industrial strength of the Americans, once the economy recovers, the United States, which has no threat around it, will recover very quickly! Perhaps it will not take ten years for it to become a powerful Western capitalist country again!"

"Moreover, the Americans, who have already suffered our losses once, will certainly not make the same mistake again. Their military strength is several times stronger than it is now, and because it is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean to the west, has many good ports, and has developed industries, it will become our strongest competitor in the Pacific Ocean! This is something we will never allow! Only one country can control the hegemony in the Pacific Ocean, and that is our Huo Jiajun!"

"Therefore, for the sake of our position in the Pacific in the future, we must occupy the western states of the United States and intercept the United States, a country with a natural strong heritage, from beyond the Pacific Ocean!" Huo Shan finally affirmed.

"Young Master, great!" Huo Long couldn't help but say with joy, the greatest honor of a soldier is to open up territory! As the minister of the military department, his own army can achieve such a record, and he himself is also honored!

"Don't be too happy, now we have only completed the initial occupation, but we still have a lot of preparations to completely occupy the western part of the United States in the end! Moreover, we are a yellow force that suddenly appears in the Americas, and we are likely to be squeezed out by Western countries! Therefore, we must prepare for the worst!" In fact, what he was most worried about was the attitude of the British, at this time Germany had not yet risen, the British Empire had not been weakened by World War I, and the deterrent power of the world's number one power put too much pressure on Huo Shan!

"Come and see!" Huo Shan stood up, walked to the map of the United States hanging on the wall, reached out and took the long wooden pole next to it, and drew a half-arc along the map with rows of earthy yellow triangles representing the mountains!

"Rocky Mountain!"

"To be precise, the Rocky Mountains will qualify for the Rand River! This line will become our new national border with the United States in the future!" Huo Shan said affirmatively, throwing the wooden pole in his hand.

"Young Master, why don't we take the Mississippi River as the boundary? With the natural danger of the Mississippi River, the Americans will definitely not be able to take it back!" Huo Long couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, I also want to use the Mississippi River as the boundary, but in this case, we will directly stand on nearly two-thirds of the territory of the United States! Do you think the Americans will agree? When the time comes, we will face an endless war with the Americans! Moreover, the terrain between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains is relatively flat and the water sources are abundant, especially after the Americans promulgated the homestead law, a large number of Americans moved westward, and the American population in this area alone exceeded 10 million! They can't be killed or driven away, and they will be the biggest destabilizing factor within our territory in the future. Besides, in such a good place, do you think that the Western countries such as Britain and France can watch us annex them?"
