The current American system is very different from the American system of later generations. Because of its modest participation in World War I, the United States has not yet abolished the segregation between states.

In layman's terms, the U.S. Army has no right to enter the states without the permission of the states, otherwise the states have the right to treat the actions of the U.S. Army as invasions.

The states also have their own troops, and the strength of the National Guard is not necessarily weaker than that of the US Army.

In particular, in some states with relatively large powers, if the governor sees that the president is unhappy, he can also blacklist the president and prohibit the president from entering the state's land.

Yes, that's what it sounds like that.

Although the federal system allowed the United States to acquire a large amount of land quickly, it only took more than 100 years to open up the east and west coasts of the United States.

But the huge price to pay is the disunity between the states, which still have enormous power, and can even be openly disobedient and unproclaimed.

The US Secretary of State is concerned that, in addition to the fact that the more than 100,000 Army troops cannot be fully deployed to the states, there is also the fact that the number of National Guard troops in the opposing states combined is greater than the number of the US Army.

And in the military development strategy of the United States, the Army has always been raised by the mother, and it is really not necessarily the opponent of the National Guard of the states.

If the states had been allowed to start a civil war, I am afraid that the rebellion in the states would have torn the United States apart before the enemy had even arrived.

It doesn't even have to wait for the combined army for the United States to automatically split into three or four countries and then wait for the combined army to come soon.

As for the current U.S. government, it would be good to be able to keep the basic territory of 13 states in the chaos, so don't think about other lands.

"Damn! What about those consortia? Now it's time for them to help, right? Tell the damned capitalists that if we are defeated, they are also absolutely to blame for the flu and the economic crisis. The British will not let us go, and neither will they let go of these fat meats. President Hoover asked angrily.

Most of the wealth in the United States is in the hands of conglomerates, which hold most of the voice in the government.

Without the support of the consortium, the U.S. government has little hope of winning the war, and it is even doomed.

"Mr. President, I'm afraid this will be difficult." The secretary of state smiled wryly and explained: "As early as the outbreak of the economic crisis, some capital was already flowing out of the country to Europe or Australia.

While we can't make sure that all the consortia have relocated, the vast majority of consortia have already had a way out and are unlikely to help us at all costs.

Mr. President, you should understand that we don't have any foreign aid anymore. For capitalists, it doesn't matter whether the United States exists or not, as long as their consortiums and assets exist.

Compared with the devastated United States, Australia, which has not been affected by the economic crisis, is their preferred region.

If you don't have a way to find more support for us, then I suggest you think about the meaning of this war.

Mr. President, there is no need for us to create more casualties, which is not beneficial to us and not to the United States.

In terms of the current chaos in the United States, I don't think you will be able to lead the United States to victory unless you have God's support. "Secretary of State Lighters has clearly stepped down, and he does not want to accompany President Hoover to his death, even if he is in a position that President Hoover has given him.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lyters?" President Hoover looked at Lighters angrily and said incredulously, "Damn, you should understand what the British are trying to do."

If we give up resistance, America will cease to exist, we will become the sinners of the United States, the sinners of the American nation! ”

"Even if that's the case, it's better than creating more unnecessary casualties, right? Mr. President. Secretary of State Lighters retorted: "With all due respect, Mr. President, we have no advantage in the army and navy, and we do not have the support of the people, and it is impossible to win this war."

If we had made peace with the British, we might have to pay a few states of land to settle the dispute.

Do you think that starting a civil war is the best ending? If the Civil War breaks out, let alone maintaining the unity of the United States, the American government will cease to exist, and the United States will become a colony of the Great Powers, which will be the end of you and me, and all Americans. ”

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. President Hoover had high hopes from the Americans, believing that he could lead Americans out of the economic crisis and lead the United States to revival and strength.

But unexpectedly, President Hoover's economic inaction seriously exacerbated the economic crisis in the United States, and his political inaction seriously aggravated the chaos in the United States, which led to the United States facing such a serious situation.

Even without a coalition army, the United States would still face state demands for independence, black conflicts, and tens of millions of unemployed.

None of these can hurt the United States, not to mention several crises one after the other.

In such a bad situation, let alone President Hoover, even if President Washington, the father of the nation, comes, what can he do?

The meeting ended with a bickering between President Hoover and Lighters, and no useful decisions were discussed.

But war will not wait for the U.S. government to make a decision. Before the U.S. government could react, on July 9, 1928, the Panama Canal was breached by the Central American coalition forces, and the United States officially lost its lifeline.

Over the next few days, Australasian forces made rapid landings on Johnston Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, Guam, Wake Island, and Midway, culminating in the Hawaiian Islands on July 17.

The U.S. presence on the Hawaiian Islands is much larger than the Samoyed garrison, but it is also only a little more than 2,000 troops.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Australasian army adopted a carpet bombing method to open the way, using a large number of aircraft and warships to launch a frenzied bombing of the Hawaiian Islands.

This bridgehead, which was regarded by the United States as a transit point in the Pacific Ocean and a strategic bridgehead in the Pacific, lasted only three days under the guns of Australasia.

The few hundred remaining American soldiers on the island soon surrendered with white flags, announcing that Australasia had officially unified Oceania as the only country in the world to occupy a single continent.

The United States, having lost the Panama Canal and Hawaii, is now like a lamb to the slaughter, waiting to be occupied and divided by the combined forces.

Hearing the overwhelming victory of the Australasian and Central American coalition forces, the allied forces in the Atlantic direction were also excited, and they couldn't wait to rush to the east coast of the United States, ready to reap the fruits of their victory.

On July 18, more than 10,000 troops from the Dominion of Canada engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with U.S. forces on the southern border.

At this time, Canada did not gain diplomatic independence, so as early as when Britain declared war on the United States, Canada automatically entered a state of war with the United States.

However, Canada is not in a hurry to act, after all, Canada's strength alone is not enough to fight the United States.

It was not until the first coalition troops, tens of thousands of troops, had arrived in Canada that the Canadian army went into action.

The place of the exchange of fire is said to be the border, but in fact it has penetrated quite deeply into the territory of the United States.

There's no way around it. The border between the United States and Canada is so long that even if more than 100,000 troops were to be put in, it would be impossible to garrison all of them.

As a result, a long stretch of the border is vacant, with only a small number of border posts and local police defence forces.

Such a defense force obviously could not stop the Canadian army, and it also allowed Canada to enter Maine very quickly.

If the local police hadn't discovered and reported the whereabouts of the Canadian troops, I am afraid that the American troops would not have been able to react when the Canadian troops captured Augusta, the capital of Maine.

Of course, it's definitely not early. The location of the exchange of fire between American and Canadian forces was very close to Augusta, which meant that most of Maine had fallen.

Unfortunately, Maine, as a northeastern region of the United States, is close to New York, the largest city in the United States, which means that New York is also in great danger.

Even if the U.S. army mobilized nearly 30,000 troops for this purpose, it could only barely keep the Canadian army out of Augusta.

Because compared to a well-prepared combined army, the US Army is currently facing quite serious problems.

It's not that it's a question of the source of troops. After all, the United States has a population of hundreds of millions of people, and there is still no shortage of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

But the problem is that the United States has the most serious vacancy in junior officers than soldiers.

The main reason for this problem is that the U.S. military has remained in the tens of thousands all year round, and even during World War I, it only expanded to hundreds of thousands, and the war was won before the training ended.

Even before the outbreak of the world war, the top active general of the U.S. Army was only a brigadier general, which is enough to see the U.S. Army's reserves in terms of officers.

The biggest problem facing this situation is that when the number of troops is increased several times in a short period of time, the vacancies of middle and lower rank officers are extremely serious.

High-level officers are not so serious, after all, American military schools can also produce a lot of middle- and high-level officers every year.

But the vacancy of the lowest officer is quite serious. The lowest level of officers either rely on the accumulation of rich experience, or rely on the strength of the war, and it is not easy to train in a short time.

It is too late to set up a school for the training of low-level officers, and it may be that the war is over before the school is built.

Moreover, this problem also reflects a more serious problem, that is, the actual combat level of middle- and lower-level officers in the United States is not so high.
