Chapter 466 Colony of Liberia

"Okay, now I know about the situation of other people, what about ourselves? Huo Zhiguang, how are they in Egypt now?" Huo Shan asked again.

"Zhiguang is okay there, according to the task given to him by the young master before, now the cheetah and the dragon's tooth together have re-established nearly 600,000 troops in Egypt, and the weapons and equipment are all used to capture the British before, and now they are stepping up training."

After listening to Huo Hu's words, Huo Shan nodded with a little satisfaction on his face, "Let the Military Intelligence Bureau pay close attention ......to the movements of the British, especially the British Army.

Huo Shan raised his head, stared at Huo Hu closely, and ordered with a serious expression: "Let them be careful not to reveal their identities, if they can't hold on, even if they lose the war in a short time, they must focus on preserving their own safety! As the elite of the million-dollar Huo family's army, they have a more important role! Instead of sacrificing in the long yellow sands of Egypt!"

"Yes, young master, I know!"

"Hmm!" Huo Shan nodded, "What is the situation on the battlefield in the Americas now, I remember that according to the strategic plan for the Americas formulated before the war, the first phase of the war should have ended now, right?"

"Yes, young master, it's over now...... In the two months of war, we paid more than 300,000 casualties, and the Americans suffered five times as many casualties!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan's heart suddenly became heavy, and a simple comparison of numbers made him feel the tragic battle of the corpse mountain and sea of blood in front of the two rivers front line in the American battlefield.

"300,000!"

The Huo Jiajun has never experienced such heavy losses since its establishment!

"Now the Northern Route Army commanded by Diao Fei in the American Theater has withdrawn to the second line of defense to rest and recuperate, and the soldiers who have been replenished from the Nanyang mainland have now arrived in Hawaii Province, and it is estimated that in less than a month, they will be able to replenish all combat units in the American Theater, and the strength of the American Theater will be able to return to its peak at that time! Moreover, after the training of the war, they will also become even stronger!"

After nodding, Huo Shan asked, "What about Huo Bao, has the New York operation ended?"

"Yes, young master, now they have retreated from New York, and the 3rd and 5th Marine Divisions are resting on St. Maarten, in the Caribbean Special Administrative Region!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan stood up and paced a few steps, and then immediately ordered: "Let them immediately end their rest and recuperate, and be escorted by the American Fleet.

"Yes, young master!" Huo Hu and Huo Feng replied at the same time.

The two of them are most willing to do the work of opening up the territory for the Huo family.

Hearing this, Huo Shan nodded, Huo Shan has long coveted this piece of land under the banner of independence, which is actually controlled by black descendants of the United States and controlled by the governor of the 'American Colonization Society', the only American colony in Africa!

Liberia, which is close to the Atlantic Ocean and covers an area of more than 110,000 square kilometers, is rich in natural resources, including high-grade iron ore reserves estimated at 1.8 billion tons, as well as diamonds, gold, bauxite, copper, lead, manganese, zinc, collum, tantalum, barite, kyanite and other mineral deposits.

In addition, the forest cover area here is also 4.79 million hectares, accounting for 58% of the total area of the country, is a large forest area in Africa, rich in rosewood and other precious timber.

Moreover, there are nearly 4 million hectares of arable land here, which would be enough to feed more than 20 million people if reclaimed.

However, there are now fewer than 800,000 blacks in Liberia, and their living conditions are extremely backward.

In addition, the land here is also suitable for growing rice, which is one of the staple foods of the Chinese, and it can be said that Liberia is one of the most suitable areas for Chinese immigrants in the world.

Therefore, since the beginning of the American War, Huo Shan's ambition for this place has never been extinguished, but due to the large-scale attack of the Americans, he has not been able to draw enough troops to take this place.

Now, when the Sino-American war finally comes to an end temporarily, and the British promised to give him Liberia before, Huo Shan naturally cannot lag behind in such an opportunity.

However, the African continent is regarded as the backyard of Europe, and it is a bit dazzling for him to put his hand into it now, but Huo Shan understands that now is his best opportunity to intervene in Africa.

If he waits until the European powers have finished dividing their respective spheres of influence in Africa, even if he has the heart to intervene at that time, it is estimated that there will be no chance.

"By the way, young master, this morning, the military headquarters just received a five-star top-secret telegram forwarded by the Washington intelligence station!"

After listening to Huo Hu's words, Huo Shan raised his head all of a sudden and stared at him tightly, with a solemn look on his face.

The level of five-star intelligence, he, the original formulator, knows best, except for the national war, and major events that can really affect the world, the military intelligence and security bureau will never use the level of five-star intelligence.

Looking at the young master's shimmering eyes, Huo Hu, who knew the importance of this matter deeply, took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "Young master, the night before yesterday, the current President of the United States, Chester Allen Arthur, was poisoned in the president's office, and the murderer is still missing!"

. [,!]"What?" This time, Huo Shan was really shocked.

"How is this possible?"

"Could it be that the security departments of the White House in the United States are all paper paste? How easily did the killers get in and really kill people?" Huo Shan was stunned for a while, and then asked in disbelief.

It's the White House, the official residence of the President of the United States, not a theater or a train station.

To be honest, Huo Hu also had some unbelievable feelings in his heart, and even when he received this telegram just now, he had confirmed it again and again.

"We don't know exactly why because of the short period of time, but now Vice President William Wheeler has become the new president of the United States in accordance with the U.S. Constitution." Huo Feng said beside him.

At this time, Huo Shan's mood gradually calmed down, and after pacing around the room a few times, he looked up and asked, "How is this William Wheeler?

After hearing this, Huo Hu showed a look of hatred on his face and said: "According to our intelligence, at the beginning of our war with the Americans, it was this William Wheeler who passed the infamous "Chinese Exclusion Act" in Congress, and it was he who insisted on not compromising with us, so it can be said that this person should bear half of the responsibility for the outbreak of this Sino-US war!"

Speaking of this, Huo Hu's face showed a mocking look again, "However, three years ago, our army was like a bamboo, sweeping through most of the United States, and now after the war in Yili has caused heavy casualties to the Americans, we have completely broken this guy's courage. Now the leader of the peacemaker faction in the US government and Congress is this guy! This damn wall-head, he is a real politician! And he has no bottom line or principle!"

For a military general like Huo Hu, who is upright by nature, what he hates the most is such a politician who ignores the interests of the country, only for personal achievements, and has no bottom line and integrity!

However, in contrast, he did not have much hatred for the original William Wheeler Hohu who insisted on the Anti-Japanese War, even though he had passed the Chinese Exclusion Act.

However, Huo Shan and Huo Hu feel a little different, although he also hates those politicians who disregard the interests of the country, but for William Wheeler, who eventually led to the outbreak of the Sino-American war, now Huo Shan wants to thank him.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid Huo Shan would really not have been able to make up his mind to start a war with the Americans.

If the Americans are allowed to rise, then according to history, they will become the most formidable opponent of the Huo Jiajun in the Pacific.

Of course, now that all this has become a thing of the past, with the containment of the Huo Jiajun in the Americas, I am afraid it is a little uncertain whether the Americans can rise as they did in their previous life with two world wars.

However, it is a little too early to say this, after all, although the war between China and the United States has stopped, it is not over after all.

However, compared to the war now, what Huo Shan is most concerned about at the moment is a very important information revealed in Huo Hu's words just now.

"You mean to say that William Wheeler, who has just become president of the United States, is a Lord?"

Hearing Huo Shan's words, Huo Hu nodded, "Yes, according to the intelligence we have gathered, this person hopes to turn to the British for help and let them come forward to coordinate in order to end the war with us as soon as possible!

Hearing this, Huo Shan's heart moved, and he asked instead: "Who provided this William Wheeler's campaign funds in the first place?"

"The Morgans!"

"The Morgans?" Hearing this, Huo Shan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said meaningfully: "This is really interesting!"

Seeing Huo Shan's expression at this moment, Huo Hu and Huo Feng glanced at each other, and their faces showed a confused look on each other, they didn't know what Huo Shan's words meant.

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Huo Shan returned to his seat and sat down again, and after looking up at Huo Hu, he said with a serious expression: "Immediately send a telegram to the Government Council, and ask the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a letter to the British Cabinet, hoping that they will act as intermediaries, and we will negotiate peace with the Americans!"

"What?" Huo Hu's voice was exceptionally loud.

"Young Master, you...... You're not serious, are you?" Huo Feng's tone couldn't help but tremble a little.

If it weren't for the fact that the person sitting in front of them was indeed the head of the Huo family, the founder of the Huo family, who they had seen since childhood and were extremely familiar with him, Huo Shan, they would all wonder if the person in front of them was a spy planted by the Americans into the Huo family's army.
