January 11, 1860

More than 40 kilometers east of the town of Manhattan in the wilderness

A patrol cavalry team of the Tang Kingdom met the US cavalry who went deep into the area to reconnoitre, and a short armed conflict broke out between the two sides, resulting in three cavalry on the side of the Tang Kingdom killed and 11 wounded.

After the outbreak of the "Wilderness Conflict" incident, the military of the Tang Kingdom was furious and ordered the US military in Kansas to make a solemn written apology, hand over the murderer and the commander of the US patrol cavalry, and promise to strictly restrain his subordinates in the future, prohibiting the intrusion into the town of Manhattan and a series of harsh conditions.

The General Order of the U.S. Forces Command in Kansas to reply within three days, and the troops of the Tang Kingdom will make the necessary response within the time limit.

After this arrogant ultimatum arrived at the US military headquarters in Kansas, Lieutenant General Devin Chandler, commander of the US Georgia Corps, was immediately furious, tore this ultimatum to pieces, and loudly scolded the Tang army for being arrogant and domineering.

Lieutenant General Devin Chandler was so enraged that he did not realize the seriousness of the problem, let alone inform the US General Staff Headquarters and General Headquarters, but gritted his teeth and thought of a way to retaliate.

The successive victories on the Western Front paralyzed the American generals, who were intoxicated by the successive victories, and the Southerners were beaten back and forth, making the Northern generals feel an illusory strength and feel that they could do it again.

As a matter of fact

The Northern Army was filled with a large number of militias with no rigorous training, and there were even black regiments. In particular, the army on the Western Front was a partial division, and the level of equipment was relatively backward, and many white soldiers still participated in the battle with old-fashioned breech-loading flintlock pistols brought from home, and the overall combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the well-trained and well-equipped Southern Army.

Without the seemingly endless replenishment of troops, it would have been difficult for the Northern Army to succeed on the Western Front.

The well-equipped and well-trained army of the Tang Kingdom has already made the enemy suffer enough in all previous wars against the United States, and is recognized as the strongest in combat, and the North and South sides of the American Civil War are far beyond reach.

Ultimately

Both sides of the Civil War in the United States relied on militias to fight, and although they were incorporated into the regular army sequence, they were essentially the simple way of fighting the militia, and the offense rushed forward in a queue, over and over again, again and again, until the final victory was won.

As for what sneak attack on the enemy's grain and grass, luring the snake out of the hole, repairing the plank road in the open, and secretly Chen Cang, these complex tactics are all gone, and they are directly hard punching and hard bars, and they all reflect the 4 words of "simple and rough" from top to bottom.

However, the generals of the Northern Army generally have poor military literacy, and many middle and high-ranking officers come from politicians, factory owners, lawyers, and retired middle- and low-ranking officers who have combat experience, and there are very few outstanding officers.

Lieutenant General Devin Chandler is a Democratic politician from Georgia who lost the election to his Republican opponent and rose to become commander of the Georgia Corps during the war by virtue of his high regional prestige.

He didn't understand the weight of the ultimatum from the General Staff Headquarters of the Tang Kingdom in his hand at all?

In fact, no matter how Lieutenant General Devin Chandler responded, at the same time as the ultimatum was issued, 420,000 troops from the Central Military Region, Overseas Military Region, Northern Military Region and Southern Military Region of the Tang Kingdom had been dispatched in unison, showing an offensive posture on three fronts: northern, central and southern.

On the front lines of Peel City and Fort Omaha in the north, a large number of ships had been prepared for a long time after nightfall, and then they crossed the Missouri River on a large scale to clear the surrounding American outposts and cavalry units, and expand a large area of security.

After that, the troops crossing the river continued to transport personnel and materials to the east bank of the Missouri River day and night, and forced the crossing of the east bank on a large scale in a section of more than 10 kilometers long, and the progress was very rapid.

On the front line of central Kansas City, two odd troops, one south and one north, had already set off at night and quickly rushed towards their respective targets, and all the American troops or local cowboys encountered along the way were killed or captured, and it was strictly forbidden to leak information.

Three days later

They had already lurked in the suburbs of St. Joseph in the north and Level in the south, carrying out the final pre-war reconnaissance and preparing for action at any time.

In Texas in the south, more than 50,000 troops from eight divisions of the Southern Military Region, which had entered the area ahead of schedule through the Southern Railway, were advancing to the Cedar Mountain area, which is more than 80 kilometers away from Vicksburg, to wait for a concealed operation.

Cedar Hill is located in the northwest of Vicksburg, deep into the hinterland of the Confederate territory of General Sherman's headquarters of about 210,000 people, distributed in more than 10 villages and towns around Vicksburg, is bombarding the defenders of Vicksburg day and night, and organizing rounds of futile attacks, still unable to overcome this hard nail.

In the entire battlefield of the U.S. Army on the Western Front, all the attention was attracted by the southerners in front of him, and he was almost unprepared for the large-scale military operations launched by the Tang Kingdom.

If it really comes to that, such a large-scale military operation is not without loopholes.

Noon November 14

The U.S. Volunteer 2nd Iowa Division in Demayne County, 187 kilometers east of Fort Omaha, received a warning that many U.S. troops stationed along the river had lost contact, and it was not clear whether the long-distance telegraph line had been blown off by the wind, the telephone pole had been broken by bison, or whether the Orientals had launched an attack on the other side.

The last possibility was directly ignored by the Iowa Volunteer 2nd Division, and the divisional officers replied to the regiments below; Ordered him to send a cavalry team to patrol the river, and report it with a fuss.

Shortly after Christmas, Iowa had its first snow of winter, and the weather was particularly cold, with howling winds blowing across the Great Plains.

Isn't it good to hide in a warm room and drink a hot cup of coffee at this time?

The Iowa Volunteer 2nd Division, with more than 35,000 men, was stationed on the east bank of the Missouri River, opposite Fort Omaha, and was the first line of defense to defend the Chicago metropolis.

It is not uncommon for such a large division to be established in the Northern Army, and some divisions have as many as 40,000 soldiers, and this is a serious malaise left by the large-scale expansion of the Northern Army to more than 1.5 million, and there are really not enough officers.

January 15 is known as "Victory Day", and it is also the day when the four major military regions of the Tang Kingdom from north to south, with a total of 420,000 elite troops on a 2,370-kilometer-long front, will launch a general attack at the same time.

Such a big move is very much in line with the consistent style of Richard, the king of the Tang Kingdom, either if he doesn't make a move, he will smash the enemy down if he wants to make a move (the same is true for bribing the British).

8:45 a.m

Baron Tang Dezhao, the ambassador of the Tang Kingdom to the United States, walked into the office building of the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., met with U.S. Secretary of State Michael Hughes, and personally handed over the Tang Kingdom's official declaration of war against the United States of America.

The reason is that it is seriously dissatisfied with the perfunctory attitude of the US side in handling the "wilderness incident conflict", and the ultimatum set on the 3rd day has not received any reply, which is a serious provocation to the dignity of the Tang Kingdom......

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

U.S. Secretary of State Michael Hughes was originally in a good mood, but when he saw this official declaration of war, his face suddenly turned pale, his legs were so weak that he almost sat on the ground in fright, and he didn't say anything for a moment of shock.

"The United States of America and the United States of America have committed atrocities, ignored the sincere representations of the Tang Kingdom, held hostage to Europe, and seriously provoked the majesty of the Tang Kingdom. In addition, the northern army burned, killed, plundered, destroyed villages and towns in the south, and did all kinds of evil, which violated the bottom line of war in civilized countries.

The rise of the Tang Kingdom in North America is actually a pillar of stability in the region, and I can't bear to see the lives of the people in the south, and I am even more angry that the United States of America has seriously provoked the majesty of the Tang Kingdom, and I hereby inform you that the Tang Kingdom has officially declared war on the United States of America.

It is advisable to rein in the precipice, and do not make mistakes. ”

The ambassador, Baron Tang Dezhao, coldly dropped some formula clichés, and then brushed his sleeves away, he really pretended to be enough!

At this time, US Secretary of State Michael Hughes was already pale, holding the declaration of war in his hand, watching Baron Tang Dezhao leave without looking back, and his teeth involuntarily began to "cluck" and fight.

At this moment, Michael Hughes was like falling into an ice cellar, and the joy of victory that had made great progress on the Western Front was completely wiped out, and all that was left was great fear clutching his heart, and it was almost impossible to breathe.

It's horrible!

The Tang Kingdom has declared war, this is terrible!

As a senior member of the Washington administration, Secretary of State Michael Hughes knows all too well what this means.

And this is a cruel reality that US President James Buchanan and other cabinet ministers have deliberately ignored and dare not face;

Once the Tang Kingdom joined forces with the Southern Alliance, the United States had almost no chance of winning.

Unless......

Unless the French come up with the crazy strength of supporting American independence, do everything they can to increase troops in North America, and drain the treasury to help the American Yankees win this battle.

Unless Britain and France intervene together, they will show a resolute attitude of fighting another Crimean War, fight side by side with the American Northern Army, and repel the naked aggression of the Tang Kingdom.

Right...... Hurry up to the president to discuss countermeasures, as long as Britain, France and other world powers are willing to intervene in the North American war, the future does not seem to be completely hopeless, and the United States can still be saved, so do it......

After making up his mind, Secretary of State Michael Hughes seemed to come back to life, and he jumped three feet high and screamed loudly; "Quick...... Come on...... Hurry up and get the carriage ready to go to the White House, I'm going to see you right away, Mr. President. ”

As Secretary of State Michael Hughes hurried to the White House, the news that the Tang Kingdom had officially declared war on the United States of America spread far and wide, and it immediately detonated the entire White House, and everyone was talking about it with panicked expressions, as if facing the end of the world.

Immediately, a number of horse-drawn carriages drove out of the White House to the embassies of Britain, France and other countries, and along the way, the whip thrown by the coachman shook the sky, driving the carriage to gallop wildly.

President James Buchanan did not even have time to summon foreign envoys, and he hurried to meet the ambassadors of Britain, France, and other countries as soon as possible, and spread the news of the request for help as quickly as possible, asking the world powers of Britain and France to intervene.

One night later, I'm afraid the situation on the battlefield will collapse.

What US President James Buchanan did not expect was that just today, at the same time as he rushed to the embassies of Britain and the United States and other countries.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of January 15, 1860, a total of 420,000 elite troops armed to the teeth of the four major military regions of the Tang Kingdom launched a fierce attack on the US army on a broad front of more than 2,370 kilometers from north to south......

At this point, it was too late.
