At the train station in Bozhen.

The Ming soldiers in gray cloth uniforms and round steel helmets were boarding the train in sequence.

This place in Bozhen is now the base camp of the North American army of the Ming Dynasty.

Mobilizations from Golden State and California are coming.

The warehouse was stacked with enough material to supply a million-strong army for half a year.

Most of them are produced in Golden State and California - for today's war, the Ming Dynasty has been preparing for more than ten years.

If the military supplies for the war need to be transported across the Pacific Ocean, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to win.

And now.

The two prefectures of Golden State and California have very developed military industrial systems, as well as very developed agricultural production.

Guns, artillery, ammunition, food.

The inventory of the two Togo houses is very abundant!!

Although in terms of overall industrial and agricultural production capacity, the two protectorates together are only barely enough to be about the same as the United States of America, if you take into account the Mexican Republic and the British Canadian colonies, and the French Quebec District, in terms of overall industrial strength and agricultural strength, the Ming Dynasty's strength in North America seems to be inferior to its opponents.

But don't forget.

The Ming Empire is not just the two protectorates of Golden State and California.

Soldiers who were ready to get on the bus lined up to receive steaming pork buns for breakfast — and in North America, eating is no problem at all.

So the quantity and quality of military rations can be guaranteed.

The intake of meat could even make the Ming army in Han land red-eyed.

The infantrymen were lining up to get on the train.

The horses were huddled on the other side of the station, driven and rushed onto the train.

Horses are also worthless in North America.

In California and the Golden State, the households of the collective farms were all owned by horses.

War horses are rare.

However, pack horses and pull horses are still relatively easy to buy.

Of course.

These improvised horses and pack horses have not undergone much training, and at this moment many stubborn horses do not gnaw on the dreaded train trunks anyway.

The soldiers were so anxious that they kicked and pumped, and finally in a hurry, several people pushed the horse's buttocks and slammed them in.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Zhu Yixin sat in the train carriage and watched this scene, while taking a few bites of pork buns.

Right now.

Someone hurried onto the carriage.

The man who came was a short and stout man.

After seeing Zhu Yixin, raising his hand was a military salute.

"Minister, Zeng Ada, the commander of the First Corps of the North American Battlefield, meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin!"

More than ten years have passed.

Zeng Ah Da has changed from the deputy capital protector of Golden State to the commander of the North American Army Corps, and his military rank has also been promoted to lieutenant general.

Today, the 100,000 troops of the North American Army have been reorganized into the First Corps of the North American Battlefield, and the first batch of 200,000 troops mobilized have been reorganized into the Second and Third Corps.

At the same time, another 100,000 troops were about to arrive in Golden State, which was changed to the Fourth Corps.

Four corps, 400,000 troops.

This is only the first mobilized force.

The next two months.

In Golden State and California, another 200,000 people will be mobilized each.

And from the Ming Dynasty, 200,000 people will arrive one after another.

A million-strong army, ten corps, will be in place by the end of August this year!

And this million-strong army is not gathered to see, but to be used on the battlefield!!

"General Zeng!"

Zhu Yixin hurriedly stood up.

For this veteran who has joined the "revolution" since the Battle of Borneo, he still has to show his respect.

Not to mention.

In recent years, Zeng has also been traveling in the North American theater, leading the army to conquer Indian tribes who are unwilling to "enter China", and often directing the "border friction" and the protection of "settlements" with the United States, Spain, and Britain.

It barely stopped.

"On the side of Helena City, the Americans did not attack too quickly, it seems that they want to lead us to the northeast."

Zeng Adaa said after sitting down.

"To the northeast, there is the industrial base of the United States, as well as Canada and Quebec. At that time, it will be the main battle of the United States, Britain, and France, and Mexico in the south will be contained! ”

"The general thinks the battlefield will be east of the Missouri River?"

"It's hard to say, but whether it's on the Missouri River or the Colorado River, it's just a tough battle!"

Zhu Yixin nodded.

It was certainly not advisable to storm the Missouri fort.

Therefore, the battlefield can only choose the northeast or southwest.

To the northeast.

The opponent is the British, French and American armies as the main force.

To the southwest.

The opponent is the US-Mexico coalition as the main force.

Looks.

It seems that the US-Mexico coalition is easier to fight.

However, if it breaks through from the northeast, it will directly hit the industrial areas of the United States, which will greatly damage the war potential of the United States.

And from the southwest is the agricultural area of the Mississippi River Basin.

Even with the occupation of these places, for the Americans, their war potential was not greatly diminished - the American North was also able to produce food.

"To the southeast or southwest, the opponent can form an offensive of north and south flanking, which is really calculating!"

Zhu Yixin looked at the map and smiled.

"Your Highness seems to have already dealt with it?"

"That's right, the general has seen our secret weapon, right?"

"Look!" Zeng Adaa took a deep breath, "This kind of weapon is really enough to be a hundred!" ”

"One is a hundred" Zhu Yixin shook his head, "It's not just one for a hundred, this machine gun has a rate of fire of six hundred rounds per minute, a range of up to five miles, with barbed wire and trenches, if the opponent does not have the same weapon, the position of tens of thousands of troops, if they don't fill in hundreds of thousands of corpses, they don't want to attack it!" ”

Zeng Adada thought for a while and said, "So His Highness's gradual 50,000 guards cavalry is for this." ”

"Using a King of Qin as bait, is it enough?"

"Enough is enough, just"

Zhu Yixin waved his hand.

"Nothing, just that. The Americans have chosen two battlefields, and this king is not here to fight! ”

His hand rests on one point of the map.

"Let's go to Haicheng first and establish the headquarters of the former enemy as a stronghold for the advance of the army. If the enemy does not dare to attack, then the king will lead 50,000 elite horsemen to bypass the Missouri River and go to their rear to kill people and set fire! If they want to gather a great army to besiege them, then come! ”

"The early stage of the operation is very important, and we must gain an advantage in the early stage and do a good job of advancing the front to the Wudalianhu area. White Europeans are expected to be able to develop such a thing as a machine gun soon. Until that time."

Zhu Yixin thought of the war scene in which both sides relied on machine guns, barbed wire, and trenches to fight positional warfare.

I couldn't help but feel a tingling on my scalp.

Such a war situation is completely a meat grinder!!

This kind of meat grinder-style warfare. I don't know what I'm going to end?

Maybe the elite death squads with concentrated artillery and rapid assault, implementing a single-point breakthrough?

Zhu Yixin has already begun to think about the mode of war after the opponent also has the same weapon. (End of chapter)
