After listening to Huo Feng's words, Huo Shan's calm gaze wandered around the east coast of the United States for a while, and then asked thoughtfully: "You said that if we can use the naval advantage to take down New York City, what do you think the Americans will do next?"

Hearing this, after everyone looked at the map and thought for a while, their faces showed joy, and Huo Long even opened his mouth and said: "If we can take New York, even if we can only hold out for one or two days, then their coastline of more than 6,000 kilometers in the east and the Gulf of Mexico will also greatly involve the energy of the Americans, and they will have to devote a large number of troops to deploy coastal defenses! In this way, our pressure on the defense line of the two rivers will be much smaller!" However, if you want to complete this plan, you must first destroy the American navy!"

"Huo Feng, this task has to be handed over to your Admiralty to complete!" Huo Shan said with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I understand, young master!" Dealing with the Americans' outdated navy, Huo Feng can be described as full of confidence.

Originally, between the Sino-US war, the US Navy had been in decline for nearly 20 years, and most of the only 50 warships were old goods from the Civil War! Moreover, because of the expansion of the scale of the land war and the economic crisis, the country's tax revenue was sharply reduced, and all the original funds for naval shipbuilding were allocated to the army!

Therefore, in the two years since the end of the Battle of Pittsburgh, the US Navy has not replenished naval warships at all, except for the construction of some torpedo boats and shore guns to protect important and important coastal ports, the Navy is still one of those old warships capable of only coastal defense.

And. With the increase of Huo Jiajun's naval power in the Pacific, there were several encounters between China and the United States, which reduced the size of the U.S. Navy's warships by a few points again. He completely shrank and never dared to go to sea again! Therefore, it was not difficult for Huo Feng's American fleet to take them down!

"Young Master, as the largest and most economically developed city in the United States, New York is directly surrounded by two American divisions with a total of 30,000 troops. In addition, for two years after the end of the Pittsburgh War, the Americans were not our opponents because of the Navy. So around New York, Long Island, Tusten Island, and the Hudson River estuary, and a large number of batteries were built, and more than 300 guns were planted. I'm afraid if I don't want to remove this obstacle. It will cost our future landing force a lot of casualties!"

After listening to Huo Long's words, Huo Shan also nodded in agreement, no matter what time it is, long-distance landing operations are the most rare part of a war!

"Where is Huo Bao's Snow Wolf Special Forces? After this guy went to the United States from Alaska to fight, it was like herding sheep! There has been no news of him for several months!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

"Hehe, last month's report on their results was that they kidnapped one hundred and sixty-two university professors from Yale University! Now it is estimated that there is some new target on them!" Huo Shi said with a smile.

"For two years, this guy Leopard has already destroyed more than two hundred of their factories on the territory of the Americans. It also caused large-scale riots in sixty-five cities, kidnapping 2,350 high-ranking mechanics and technicians. and 568 university professors, who destroyed a large amount of military supplies stored by the Americans, killed and wounded more than 15,600 American soldiers, more than one division! They also handed over 5 tons of gold, 12 tons of silver, and jewelry and jade worth 20 million silver dollars, as well as a large number of antiques and works of art of inestimable value! It can be described as a rich fruit!" Huo Long said.

"Yes, in two years, this kid Leopard has made a fortune with nearly 500 snow wolf special forces under his command! It is said that everyone has a deposit of thousands of silver dollars, which is the envy of the boys of other brother troops!" Huo Hu said loudly.

Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled faintly and didn't say anything, these elite soldiers who had been trained by his special warfare manual dealt a blow to the internal economy, people's livelihood and industry of the United States in two years, and the damage caused by five regular divisions was not much smaller.

Moreover, according to Huo Jiajun's rewards and punishments, their captures must have been extremely rich! Not only them, but the Sea Lion Special Forces and Cobra Special Forces, which were responsible for exterminating the natives of Nanyang, were also very rich.

As for the seals and dragon guards who are commanding operations in Egypt, needless to say, all kinds of Egyptian works of art have long been used by the Government Council to repay the two billion silver dollars loan of the Huo family! In the words of teacher Huang Sheng, "With so many cultural relics and antiques, the state is short of financial resources, so if there is no money for maintenance and maintenance, it is better for the wealthy Huo family to do the work for them! It just so happens that the government can also repay those loans from the government!"

Shaking his head and driving the chaotic thoughts out of his mind, Huo Shan once again focused his attention on the current US war situation, "Send a report to the American Theater of Operations, let Huo Bao's Snow Wolf Special Forces take out all the coastal defense batteries around New York City for me, and the US branch of the Military Intelligence Agency will fully cooperate!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Well, we should not launch the New York operation in advance, but after the Americans really start with us, we should make a contribution in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, after taking the most important city in the United States, it will inevitably put the Americans in a dilemma, thus breaking the rhythm of their war! Create an opportunity for us to win the second Sino-American war!"

"Understood, young master, but what about how many troops do you want to send to carry out this mission?" Huo Hu asked.

"This is a cross-sea landing battle, so it is most appropriate to use the Marine Corps. Moreover, there are four divisions of marines in the Americas theater, and they have been there for more than two years, and they are familiar with the situation there, so let's send them!" "However, our ocean-going transport ships in the Americas are very limited, and the size of the troops is too large to increase the risk of exposure, so let's send the third and sixth divisions of the Marine Corps! Two Marine divisions, plus the help of naval guns, there should be no problem in taking New York!"

"Young Master, after taking New York, will we still send follow-up troops?" asked Huo Shi.

"No, no! After we take New York, we don't need to occupy it for a long time, we just need to withdraw before the surrounding American troops besiege us! This New York operation is not to gain much success, but to make the Americans worry about the safety of all their eastern coastal cities, and only then will they withdraw their troops from the front line of confrontation with us, and then disrupt their war deployment!" Huo Shan said in a firm tone.

"I understand, young master, but we vigorously sent troops to take New York, will the British intervene, when we signed an agreement with them, but made it clear that they would not attack the American land east of the Appalachian Mountains!" Huo Long asked with a worried expression.

In this era, the mighty British are the curse on the heads of all countries, even if it is now mired in the quagmire of the Egyptian war, and because of the economic crisis, the factory is bankrupt, the economy is declining, the market is in chaos, and the fiscal revenue has plummeted, it can be said that it is the weakest time in these decades, but even if Britain is weak, its royal fleet of more than 800,000 tons is also a formidable existence!

After listening to his words, Huo Shan pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head, "No, this time the British can at most express their dissatisfaction! After all, after two years of accumulation, the Americans have built up an army of nearly two million, and with their help, the Americans' weapons and equipment have also caught up." In the eyes of the British, the strength of the Americans may be even stronger than ours at present! Therefore, the most important thing for us to see with the Americans is that they want to see both defeat and defeat in this war of the century, in which nearly 3 million troops were involved. Otherwise, they will not interfere in the military operations of both of our sides!"

"Understood, young master!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan took one last look at the large map of the Americas hanging on the wall, slowly turned around and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, "This time the Americans have waited for so long, once a war is launched, it will be a real war of the country, no matter what, we must not take it lightly, it is related to the ultimate safety of our American provinces and cities! Only by agreeing to it in a dignified manner, then there will be no more major wars in the Americas in the next one or two decades! And with our continuous immigration, all the American provinces and cities will finally stabilize!" At that time, no matter how big the war the Americans started, we didn't have to be afraid!"

Listening to Huo Shan's words, Huo Long and the others couldn't help but show a solemn look on their faces! As high-ranking officers of the Huo Family's army, they could also understand the powerful relationship of this war!

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much, after all, we still have a defensive advantage, and the number of machine guns and artillery is also several times that of the Americans, so as long as we don't make mistakes, then it will be very easy to win this war and force the Americans to sign the 'Alliance under the City'!" Huo Shan didn't want to put too much pressure on Huo Long and them because of this war!

"Yes, young master!"

Looking at the serious looks on their faces, and the general Xinghuo Shan shining on his shoulders, he couldn't help but feel relieved! After more than five years of struggle, he has finally achieved something!

"Young Master, the urgent telegram from the Government Council forwarded from Nanyang!" At this moment, after Huo Lei took a thin stack of newspapers from the hands of an internal guard, he hurried back to Huo Shan's side!

"Government Affairs Yuan?" After Huo Shan asked rhetorically, he took the telegram and read it in front of him! Because he knew that it was not military affairs, there was no anxiety on his face!

"Haha, okay! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made meritorious service this time!"

Seeing the young master's happy appearance, Huo Hu, who was a little anxious, couldn't help but ask, "Young master, what did you say in the telegram just now?"

Fifteen million silver dollars, plus a commercial contract of 150 million silver dollars, will take the part of Sint Maarten occupied by the Dutch, as well as the part of the Virgin Islands (that is, the later American Virgin in the United States) and Greenland in the hands of Little Andres and Norway!" )
