November 9, 1928, two days after the attack on the artillery position.

Pershing, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front, sat in the headquarters with a gloomy face, holding a magnifying glass and carefully studying the battlefield situation map.

Standing next to him was George Smith Patton, Jr., General Pershing's aide-de-camp, and at the table sat many high-ranking members of the Western Front, including division commanders and chiefs of staff of various divisions.

Rubbing his brows, General Pershing asked, "What is the situation in the various ministries?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander." The commander of the 7th Division, who was responsible for defending the line from Newtown to Williston, immediately reported: "We lack all supplies, and some of the wounded are not being well received at present.

Watford on the opposite side had at least two divisions stationed, and I needed at least one division to support me to defend myself against the enemy's attack. ”

"Where am I going to conjure up a teacher for you?" General Pershing couldn't hold back his emotions and said angrily: "I can only give you the strength of one regiment, and you need to be stationed on the defensive line for at least a month and a half."

Even if the defense line is breached after a month and a half, you will have a great credit. But if the defense line is breached within a month and a half, even if it is only a day and a half away, you will become a sinner in this war, you know? ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed, Your Excellency, Commander!" The commander of the seventh division replied very seriously.

As a dedicated soldier, General Pershing was very strict with his subordinates.

It is precisely because of this that the recruits trained by General Pershing still have a certain combat effectiveness, and they can fight back and forth with the Russians.

"Let me go, Your Excellency, Commander." George Smith Patton Jr. suddenly said: "The reserve troops should not be mobilized for the time being, and my infantry regiment can successfully complete the combat mission." ”

George Smith Patton, Jr.'s sudden remarks were clearly unexpected by General Pershing. After staring at Patton carefully for a long time, General Pershing nodded: "Then you go, Patton." Remember not to forget about the duty of a soldier, I hope to be able to hear the news of victory from your telegrams, may God bless you. ”

After achieving his goal, Patton did not ignore the importance of this military meeting, and listened carefully to the deployment of defensive positions.

At the end of the meeting, Patton announced General Pershing's order to his soldiers, and then went with the commander of the 7th Division to Williston in the northwest.

Along the way, Patton learned a few things from the commander of the Seventh Division, and then offered to be stationed farther west at Cabertson.

Cabertson was located to the west of the Williston and Newtown Lines, and was one of the areas most likely to be encircled by the enemy.

Being stationed in Cabotson was a difficult task, as it was not only a frontal defense against the enemy, but also patrolling between Terwood and Capotesen in Poland to guard against a possible sneak attack by the enemy's army.

This is no joke. If the enemy is really allowed to enter the rear of the Western Front, the entire Western Front may face the end of being encircled.

If this happens, the troops stationed in Cabertson will inevitably bear a big blame, and Patton's career as an officer may end here, and he will even be sent to a court-martial.

But it also represents a bigger opportunity. For if you cross the river from the Cabertson area, there is also hope of going around the rear of Watford.

According to intelligence, two Russian divisions were stationed here. As long as the 7th Division can be united to encircle these two Russian divisions, it will not only relieve the defensive pressure of the Western Front, but also create a great contribution.

But in comparison, it is more difficult for the U.S. military to circumvent the rear. Because Australasia occupies absolute air superiority, a large number of reconnaissance planes patrol around the battlefield every day, in addition to observing the movement of American troops, the also to prevent the American army from making dangerous moves and quietly encircle.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Barton now. Long before he asked for troops to support the Seventh Division, Patton had already made a decision about the war.

Although he respects General Pershing's concept of military honor, it does not mean that Patton is willing to give everything for the current US government.

It's not that Patton is afraid of death, but fighting to the death for the current U.S. government is not a wise choice for Barton.

As he had said to General Pershing before, it would be no good for the Americans to continue fighting, and Patton preferred to serve all Americans.

For the Americans, the most important thing is to be able to quickly resolve this war and let the United States return to a state of peaceful development.

It doesn't matter who rules the United States, as long as the people who rule the United States can bring peace and prosperity to Americans, then for Barton, this is what he can give everything for.

After leading his army to be stationed at Cabertson, Patton convened a meeting and announced his decision to be stationed in Terwood, Poland himself.

The other officers naturally had no objection to Patton's decision, which seemed like an ordinary one.

After leading some of his trained henchmen to be stationed in Terwood, Poland, Patton did not immediately begin to arrange patrols and defenses, but waited anxiously for something.

Fortunately, there was no long wait, and on November 12, Patton's temporary residence in Twood, Poland, welcomed a guest.

"Mr. Barton, long time no see." After entering the warm house, the man took off his hat, let out a cold breath, and said to the silent Barton with a smile.

"You guy, is what you said before true?" Barton ignored the man's greetings and asked the question that was most important to him.

"Of course it's true, Mr. Barton." The visitor smiled and said, "You also understand our management policy in California, and we will not take the initiative to exploit and oppress any American people."

If you're not at ease, the Central United States can be handed over to you for the time being, provided you contribute enough to Australasia. ”

"The whole of the central United States?" Barton was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so generous and willing to hand over the entire central part of the United States to his own management.

Although the population of the central states is not too large, it is still a huge area of more than a dozen states combined, so it is given to itself?

"Of course." The visitor smiled and nodded, looked at the somewhat surprised Barton, and explained, "It seems that you still don't understand the importance that His Majesty attaches to talent. A capable guy like you would have long since hung up the rank of general in Australasia.

Of course, it's not too late. If you want to, you can become the new president of the central region, and you can be a marshal. ”

The United States is so big that Australasia simply cannot fully control it. Even if Australasia conquered the entire central United States, it would not be possible to annex much land.

For example, in the middle of the United States, it is better to plan ahead and use Americans to rule the United States, and Britain and France have no excuse to refute it.

Of course, this may lead to a new round of competition in the United States, and France and Britain will also see an alternative way to rule the United States, which is to support puppets to rule the United States.

But even if Australasia does not want to do this, I believe that Britain and France will not be able to let go of the defeated US government.

Therefore, the promise of a new president of a country in the middle of the United States was stressless for Australasia, and the state could be established at any time if it wanted.

After hearing what the other party said, Barton didn't have any doubts, nodded and said: "As long as you can keep your promises, I am willing to make some sacrifices for all Americans."

During this time, I will be stationed in Trefud, Poland. After you can get around from the Polish Trefud, the main force of the Western Front is deployed at Bismarck, and there are also some troops at Carrington in the east and Kenmare in the north. ”

The deployment of troops in the frontal defensive positions Patton did not say much. After all, Australasia, with its all-round superiority in the air, must be able to figure out the defense of the frontal position.

As long as Kenmare is bypassed, a great outflanking of the American army can be achieved, and the war can also be quickly ended, and even the war that affects the entire United States and the combined army.

After all, if the Western Front is defeated, it will represent the complete loss of the Midwest of the United States. In this way, the Australasian army was able to threaten not only the Great Lakes industrial region, but also the Washington region.

If you think about it further, the investment of a large number of troops will also put the US Eastern Front under great threat.

This is the heaviest blow to the U.S. government, and it is likely to force the end of the entire war.

The man nodded, as if seeing that Barton's face was a little heavy, and smiled and comforted, "Actually, I won't tell you, Mr. Barton." Part of our army has already moved from Canada to Minnesota.

Even if you don't cooperate with us, it is only a matter of time before the Western Front is surrounded. Of course, we would love to see smart people like you, Mr. Patton, see the situation clearly.

For us, it is only the U.S. government that is hostile, not all Americans. Our aim is to end this war and bring peace to the whole world, and our interests are aligned. ”

Although General Pershing's defensive front was well deployed, the defense of the Canadian region could only be described as rudimentary.

After all, the border between the United States and Canada is too long, and it is impossible to hold it with 100,000 people in the hands of General Pershing alone.

Previously, General Pershing had pinned his hopes that the main forces of the combined army would be delayed in the eastern theater, and the western theater was only the Australasian army.

But now things have clearly developed beyond General Pershing's expectations, and the main force of the battle in the western theater has become the Russian army, and the Australasian army has become the destabilizing factor, which is why this detour has been realized.
