Chapter 120: Desperate Soldiers

It is not surprising that Major General Tris Spike has such a reaction, he is the commander of the Chicago base, this is the unit belonging to Major General Tris Spike, and he does not want to hear people dictating.

Especially since this person is still a defeated general under the mad king, and the original good situation has been buried in vain.

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

Major General Frank Gilhuri looked at the other party's resistant face, and a feeling of fire arose, but he didn't say anything, but turned silently and left under the porch.

Now Major General Frank Gilhuri is guilty, although he has the post of deputy commander on the surface.

As a matter of fact

During several rounds of parliamentary questioning, Major General Frank Gilhurry was frantically bitten by those Southern congressmen, and was almost defined as a national thief who lost his city and land, and has since been nailed to the pillar of shame in history and reviled by all the people.

Had it not been for the abolitionist parliamentarians of the North, who were in the camp politics to defend their best efforts, to make a fairer assessment of Major General Frank Gilhurry's military command, and to allow him to be guilty of meritorious service despite the shouting and killing in Congress, his bones would have been cold by now.

Stand under the eaves of the porch

Looking at the back of General Frank's departure, the staff officer beside Major General Tris Spike smacked his lips regretfully and said; "Your Excellency, the defeat in the war seems to have hit Frank hard, and the whole person has become different."

"Frank should indeed reflect on the fact that he lost a fully stocked army of 8,000 men and the state of Colorado, which has become a laughing stock for Europeans, and he has lost face with the Continental Army of the United States of America. Frank's defeat has made the madman king so famous today, and it has made our situation even more difficult. So, I don't sympathize with him. ”

"It's unbelievable to think about it, the mad king actually defeated Frank with a cavalry of more than a thousand people, it feels too unreal."

"Hmph, he's stupid."

Major General Tris snorted coldly and ended the conversation with a disdainful expression, not wanting to continue discussing the issue, but reverting to the hustle and bustle of the training grounds.

The other side

A dejected General Frank Gilhuri returned to his office alone, sat in a chair and lit a cigar cigarette, enveloping himself in a thick tobacco mist.

He was always reflecting, reflecting on what could have been called a nightmare war.

General Frank Gilhurry discovered;

From start to finish

He was led by the nose by the madman King Richard, one in the light and the other in the dark, completely lost the initiative and could only be beaten passively.

When he led the American army south, Richard attacked Denver in the rear and burned it to the ground, forcing the American army to return to help.

Subsequently, in the stalemate between the two sides, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom completely cut off the logistics supply line in Denver.

This put the U.S. military in Denver in a dilemma of logistics supply, forcing the U.S. military to divide a valuable force to escort the logistics convoy back to Kansas City to deliver supplies, thus giving the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom a good opportunity to break through.

This war was not so much defeated by the Tang Kingdom as it was lost on the logistics line.

Judging from the response, there were no obvious mistakes.

When Denver was burned to the ground, it had already foreshadowed the defeat of the US military, the long logistics line was the Achilles heel of the US military, and the lack of material goods caused the US soldiers to panic and have no intention of fighting.

Like an egg, after being knocked open with a hard shell, everything is already doomed.

The key to victory or defeat is to contain the elusive cavalry troops of the Tang Kingdom, otherwise there is no way to talk about victory.

When questioned in Parliament, General Frank Gilhurry repeatedly stressed the great threat posed by the Colt 1846 cavalry-style revolver in battle, which completely compensated for the superiority of the American cavalry in numbers and experience.

By the way, there are cuirassier heavy cavalry.

The reasons he highlighted did not convince members of Congress, but instead drew sharper criticism. Some people call him "Frank the Coward", and he is extremely capable of ridicule.

The whole of America is now in an impetuous atmosphere, with Congressional antagonism between North and South lawmakers, rampant anarchism and liberalism, and all sorts of divisive rhetoric and blind self-confidence in the midst like a pot of bean soup about to boil.

This situation

Far from the war that the United States is currently facing, the progress made by the Confederate Army invading Mexico has only intensified the criticism of General Frank Gilhurry's incompetence and stupidity.

The newly-promoted general, anxious to prove himself, worries General Frank, who has really received the power of the mad king Richard, and his face is swollen.

The army of the Tang Kingdom used a more brutal means to absorb the US army in a short period of time, and sent it to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder, snowballing to increase its strength.

In General Frank's heart, those captured American soldiers had become vassals of the military power of the Tang Kingdom, and to be honest, it was really bad.

The U.S. Third War Mobilization expanded the army by 45,000 troops, and the cavalry alone reached as many as 12,000, which was not a military force fully prepared for the westward expedition, and was partly used in the southern Mexican theater.

In the opinion of General Frank;

At present, the correct way to deal with it should be to go all out to win the war in the south of Mexico, and then turn around and clean up the Tang Kingdom without hurrying.

However, the members of the National Assembly were angered by the arrogant attitude of the Tang Kingdom, and unanimously demanded that he be taught a hard lesson.

Why!

Naturally, during the international mediation held in Quebec, a British Canadian colony, the American representatives received humiliating terms for peace talks, which almost drove them mad.

The Tang Kingdom is unashamed to swallow the three northern states that rank first, second and third in the territory of the US Federation, occupying 15% of the existing territory of the US Federation, which is simply arrogant to the extreme.

This directly led to the breakdown of the peace talks, and the US Congress efficiently passed the Third War Mobilization Act and other military appropriation laws, using the power of public opinion to fan public sentiment, which brought tremendous pressure to the government and military.

Knowing that the Western Expedition was a big pit, he still had to jump hard.

As a matter of policy;

Unifying the territory of the North American continent, allowing the American Federation to have the advantages of two oceans, dominating the North American continent and intimidating Central and South America, and bringing them all into the sphere of influence of the United States, strategically competing with Europe, is the sacred and natural mission entrusted to the United States by the "Monroe Doctrine".

The invasion of Mexico in the south and the conquest of the Tang Kingdom in the west are both products of this strategy, and any political figure who opposes and violates this political creed is tantamount to political suicide.

This frenzied attitude, which has affected the military and the industrial and financial spheres, has led to the kicking of dissent, the only current political consensus that can sustain parliamentarians from the North and the South, and which cannot be challenged.

General Frank saw with concern;

At present, American society has fallen into a paranoid war frenzy, and the sharp increase in military spending has affected economic development and exacerbated social unrest, and the serious consequences are becoming increasingly apparent.

What is the concept of an economy with a GDP of one billion dollars a year, and spending 100 million or more dollars in war to burn it?

There is no doubt that the reckless use of military force is an appropriate evaluation.
