United States.

District of Columbia.

The current Commander-in-Chief of the United States and the fourth Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America, James Murphy. Madison was frowning at the information that had just been delivered about the Ming Empire.

"Dear Andrew, Zhu Yixin, the second prince of the Ming Empire, has already arrived in Jinzhou by boat. He brought three thousand officers, and what this means I think is self-evident! ”

In Commander James. Madison's side.

He is the current commander-in-chief of the Continental Army of the United States of America, Special Admiral Andrew Brown. Jackson.

Historically, the United States of America has not had any strong rivals in the New World due to its long history.

Therefore, the Continental Army of the United States has been in a period of considerable confusion in military ranks and establishment for a long time, and it was not until December 1944 that the United States had a complete military rank system after the establishment of the "five-star general".

However.

Since now there is a strong opponent on the west coast of the New World.

The nascent United States of America, under pressure, also quickly completed some "institution-building".

The first is the elevation of the federal government's power.

Ten years ago.

In order to cope with the pressure of the Ming Empire.

The federal government of the United States has successively passed a series of laws that strengthened "centralized power", such as the "Federal Power Offense", the "General Command and Military Bill", and the "Continental Army Budget Act".

On the one hand, the power of many states was withdrawn from the federal government, and on the other hand, the power of the Grand Commander was strengthened.

At the same time, a systematic army was established.

This army was established with the "help" of European continental powers such as France and the British Empire.

The total number of people is 300,000.

It is divided into four parts: the Missouri Garrison Military Region, the Mississippi Military Region, the Great Lakes Industrial Region Garrison Military Region, and the General Reserve of the Columbia Regional Army.

There are 15 corps and 45 divisions.

It is equipped with Type 1801 needle rifles produced by the United States of America, as well as a large number of mortars and howitzers.

The overall equipment level and training level are in the forefront of the world!

In order to support the military equipment of the 300,000 Continental Army, factories in the northern part of the United States have been greatly developed and supported.

Steelmaking, machinery, munitions and other industries are in full swing.

Meantime.

Since the president has a huge army of 300,000 men in his hands.

The federal government of the United States of America has more power at this moment than Americans in another time and place could hardly have imagined—at least not now, when a civil war between the North and the South of the United States of America is unlikely.

However, there was no civil war.

But there is aggression - in American propaganda, the Chinese have come to invade the sacred territory of the United States, to rob the promised land that God has given to his believers flowing with milk and honey.

So Christians all over the world must unite against the pagans from the East.

And in fact.

The Ming Empire did not have many regular troops in the New World: there were only two brigades in the Golden State Metropolitan Protectorate and only one brigade in the California Metropolitan Protectorate.

Counting the Japanese samurai regiment, a Korean brigade, and an Annam brigade in the southernmost part of New Japan.

The total number of people does not exceed 80,000.

Moreover, the Japanese, Koreans, and Annamites in the southernmost part of the New World can't be counted on, and you can't expect these vassals of the Ming Empire to cross tens of thousands of miles from the southern tip of the New World to fight in the north of the resource continent.

Other words.

Now it's all over.

The Ming Empire only placed three brigades of land forces in the New World - as for the navy, the Pacific Ocean is now the inner lake of the Ming Empire.

The Pacific Fleet established a series of military ports in the South Seas, Australia, Hawaii, and California.

With the advent of the era of ironclads.

The importance of some key offshore nodes is highlighted.

And the navy of the Ming Empire, which had long been laid out for this, quickly gained an advantage in the era of ironclad ships.

It is impossible for ironclad warships from Europe to cross the ocean to fight without a port for replenishment on the way - this problem also existed for the Ming Empire.

It is also unlikely that the navy of the Ming Empire will appear in the Atlantic without a supply base in the Atlantic.

So now the focus of the wrestling between the two great civilizations of the East and the West is in the New World!

From the map.

The New World or the Christian civilization had a certain advantage - they took more territory on the map.

The territory occupied by the Chinese civilization in the East is only two or three small circles in the New World as a whole.

Doesn't seem to be a cause for concern.

However, considering the strong national power of the Ming Empire.

Christian civilization did not dare to slack off—especially for the United States.

Other European countries have lost the Americas, but they are not going to die.

But for the United States, once the New World was occupied by the Ming Empire, the United States did not exist, and the white Europeans living in the New World, either fled from the New World, or.

It is likely to be exterminated by the Chinese.

Just like they did with the Russians in the Central Asian steppes

"Yes, the Chinese are going to expand their army! They want to expand the army in the New World, and according to intelligence, the Chinese have at least one million or more middle-aged men carrying guns in the New World, and they can easily expand the army by hundreds of thousands."

I didn't expect that I could live the same addiction as a special general like Washington. Jackson said with a frown.

"The French are willing to give us their bolt-action rifle technology, and our factory needs to get the Army to complete the refitting as soon as possible." Andrew. Jackson said.

"Can the Chinese break through the Missouri Line?"

James. Madison asked.

"It can't be!"

Andrew. Jackson immediately shook his head.

"It's impossible, the unification is the leading student."

"Can't they get around this line of defense? Judging by the map, they only need to bypass this line of defense to threaten the industrial areas of the Great Lakes region! It will be devastating if our industrial production is destroyed! ”

"Bypass? How many troops can they get around? If hundreds of thousands of troops bypass by, how will their logistical supplies be replenished? How can their logistical lines be protected? A large army hangs alone, and the logistics line is constantly threatened by the Missouri fortress, I don't think the Chinese will be so stupid! ”

Andrew. Jackson said.

James. Madison nodded.

In other words, this war is likely to be a flesh mill on both sides in the Missouri Plateau. Maybe we're going to die a lot of people. ”

"It's worth it! We cannot give up this fertile land to the Chinese! ”

Andrew. Jackson said.

"The Ming Empire is powerful, but behind us stands the entire European civilization!"

"What's more, our industrial production capacity in the New World far exceeds that of the Chinese!" Their roots here are always inferior to ours, and if the war becomes a war of attrition, they will definitely not be able to consume us! (End of chapter)
