Chapter 268: The army is 500,000!

Wu Guangzong's mind flashed like a stream of water, and a series of major historical events from the founding of the United States to the present, as well as all kinds of relevant information about the United States that had been sinked into the economic crisis, also flashed in his mind one by one!

Although there are not many experienced soldiers in the United States at present, and a large number of troops have only been trained for more than a month, they are far inferior in combat effectiveness and military equipment to the Huo Jiajun, which is ready to fight at any time! Moreover, the United States, which is mired in an economic crisis, does not have much money in its finances!

However, no matter how weak this country looks on the surface, Wu Guangzong does not dare to despise it in the slightest! There is not a single military general who can raise a huge army of nearly 3.5 million troops in the Civil War when the two sides are combined in the Civil War!

"I must fight this war well!" Wu Guangzong's sharp eyes stared at the map of the United States on the wall, and he didn't even know that the pencil in his hand had been broken by him too hard!

"Old Deng!" Wu Guangzong turned around suddenly, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly serious!

"Commander!"

"Commander, please give the order!" all the senior officers in the hall who belonged to the Theater of the Americas troops. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info all straightened their waists with solemn expressions! Everyone's face was full of confidence in the war. The desire for victory, the pursuit of honor!

A serious atmosphere filled the huge war room, and Wu Guangzong's majestic gaze slowly crossed the confident faces of every officer!

"Comrades, it has been more than two years since you joined the army! Over the past two years, we have trained hard in the cold and heat, and we have carried tears and sweat in our own eyes, and we have endured the pain in our hearts. We bear the loneliness ourselves, and all these efforts are for the sake of today's arrival! A real war, a war that we have been longing for for a long time, and a war that can make our Huo Jiajun famous in the world again, is coming soon! Are you confident that you will win the final victory?"

"We have!"

"Very good, what I want is your words!

"Here!"

"Deng Shan, deputy commander of the American Theater of Operations, was appointed commander of the First Route Army of the theater, and the 25th Division of the Army was set up under it. Thirty thousand servants!From the twelfth day of July, march northwest from Milwaukee and Chicago, and occupy all American cities east of Lake Michigan, west to the Missouri River, and south to the Great Railroad of Zhongyāng!" However, at this time, the main railway artery that runs through the east and west of the northern line of the United States had not yet been built, so the area west of the Missouri River was rugged and mountainous because of the rugged terrain. So the population is small and there aren't many decent cities. There is no need for the Huo Jiajun to occupy there for the time being!

"Yes, mission guaranteed!"

"Make Diao Fei, deputy commander of the American Theater of Operations, the commander of the Second Route Army, with eight divisions of marines and 20,000 servants, to take the salient between Lake Michigan and Lake Erie, including Toledo!"

"Understood!" Diao Fei's voice remained the same, revealing a strong sense of confidence!

"Make Yan Jiye, deputy chief of staff of the American Theater of Operations, the commander of the Third Route Army, with five divisions of marines and 30,000 servants! Attack south from Chicago and fully occupy Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Svensville, and other areas at the angle between the Ohio River and the Mississippi River!" Although Yan Jiye had been the chief of staff of the 25th Division of the Army before, he was also a veteran officer from the Huojia Military and Civilian Corps! He is cautious, rigorous in governing the army, and is fully capable of serving as the commander of the First Route Army, and can also suppress the Fifth Marine Division, the proud soldiers who once fought in the South Seas who lost their armor and lost their armor!

"Yes, Commander!" Yan Jiye replied with a somewhat excited expression.

"Hmm!" Wu Guangzong nodded with a serious expression, "I myself served as the commander of the Fourth Army, leading the Fourth Marine Division and 30,000 servant troops, all the way east, to take Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other American cities!"

"No, Commander! You are the military commander of the theater, and you can't lead the troops to the front line, this is really too dangerous!" As soon as Wu Guangzong finished speaking, Wenming couldn't help but persuade with an anxious expression! If there is anyone who cannot be missing the most in the American theater, I am afraid it is Wu Guangzong, who is the commander of the theater! As the commander of the 1st Marine Division, and now he is also the commander of the Pacific Military Region and the commander of the American theater, his identity is really too important! If he had three strengths and two shortcomings on the battlefield, I am afraid that the entire theater of operations in the Americas would experience an earthquake, and this military strategy would also be directly ruined! This is something that the political commissar of civilization absolutely does not want to see!

"Hehe, don't worry, Lao Wen! Now that the American army has only been trained for less than two months, it is simply wishful thinking to try to stop our army! Therefore, I will not be in any danger! You don't have to worry! Moreover, you also know my Xing character, you don't need to persuade it anymore!"

"Alas!" Although Wu Guangzong is easy-going, he is an extremely assertive person in his bones! Anything that has already been decided will never be easily changed! Almost everyone who has worked with him knows his temper! Wenming has known Wu Guangzong since he was a guard on the Huo family's fleet! So he knows his temper very well!

"Okay! Since you have already decided, then I won't stop you! But this eastward advance, you must bring all the special forces of the Fifth Brigade of the Sea Lion! This is also my bottom line!" In the internal military command of the Huo Family Army, the first commander is the military commander of the troops at all levels, and the second is the chief of staff! And the responsibility of the political commissar is to be responsible for military regulations and military discipline, the re-education of soldiers, logistics and supply, and so on, and he only has the right to make suggestions on military strategy, but he has the right to make decisions! For example, military commanders at or above the division level cannot take the initiative to go to the front!

Looking at Wenming's unyielding eyes, Wu Guangzong knew that it was impossible for him to change his mind!

"Lao Wen, after we set off, everything in the rear will depend on you!" Wu Guangzong patted his old friend's shoulder and said with a smile!

"Well, don't worry! I have 10,000 troops of the 45th Division here, plus 10,000 servant troops are enough!"

Wu Guangzong nodded, "Ladies and gentlemen, the above four armies are all the troops of our Northern Front! Our mission is to occupy this large triangle between the Ohio River and the Mississippi River! In addition, without the order of the theater command this time, no one can privately launch a new offensive against American cities outside this range, do you understand?"

"Understood, Commander!"

"In addition, after occupying these places, you have three very important tasks! First, I don't need to say more, it is still our old business, and I will not lose any of our talents, machinery and equipment, gold and silver wealth! Second, mobilize all the people who can be mobilized, whether they are white or black, and no matter what means you use! In short, you must make full use of the cement and steel seized from the various cities, and give me the rivers along the Ohio, White, and Wabash rivers. The Mississippi River has built a group of half-buried fortifications along the river! Third, we must form a servant army! Blacks, Indians, and all other nations oppressed by the Americans are the objects we must unite with, and you must draw out young and middle-aged people from among these people and form a servant army! This time, I will not limit the number of people, and you can open up and accept people! But there is one thing, you must keep them firmly in your hands, and there must be no betrayal! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Commander!"

In two days, the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Marine Corps will come over! At that time, our Northern Route Army, together with the Southern Route Front led by Chief of Staff Wang, will bring the two sides together to a total of 500,000 troops! In the early morning of 12 July, a new offensive will be launched on a front of more than 5,000 kilometers from south to north!

――――――

"Tick... "The brisk Morse encrypted code was transmitted over the radio with the new military order over a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers to the base camp of the Southern Front in the American Theater of Operations in New Orleans!

After nearly three years of uninterrupted research and development, especially with the addition of geniuses such as Tesla, the most important tube technology for radio research and development, has made a major breakthrough, and the radio theory has been very mature, so the long-wave radio stations that can be used for long-distance communication have appeared in the various barracks of the Huo Jiajun!

Although it still has the shortcomings of the early days of long-wave radio, such as huge and expensive antenna equipment, and small communication capacity, the emergence of radio is undoubtedly the result of a revolution in the history of human communications! The use of radio has brought the interconnection between various countries in the world closer!

Of course, the role of radio in military affairs is also incomparably prominent, and without it, it would be impossible for the nearly 500,000 troops of the Huojia Army in the American Theater to launch a large-scale war on a front of nearly 5,000 miles at the same time! At the same time, the emergence of radio has also brought about changes in military strategy and tactics!

"Report! The Theater Command has sent an urgent telegram!" With the popularization of radio in all units, the military post of communications staff officer has also begun to be set up in divisional and regimental-level units! Among the headquarters of the Southern Front, which controls hundreds of thousands of troops, there is more than one professional communications staff officer!

"Okay! The military order from the headquarters has been handed down!" After reading the translated contents of the telegram, Wang Xiangzong smiled and handed over the telegram in his hand to the dozen or so principal officers of the 6th Marine Division, the 45th Division, and the 46th Division, who had been waiting for him for a long time!

"Chief of Staff, give the order!" After reading the telegram, Pang Wanchun couldn't help but stand up and said loudly!

In the super war of nearly 500,000 people in the north and the south combined, no real soldier could withstand this kind of temptation! Even Wang Xiangzong was no exception!
