The worst came for the American army.

In just a few hours, General Pershing received two bad news from the rear and the front in quick succession, which also put the entire Northwestern Front in a huge predicament.

This is not over, the purpose of the Australasian army is not so simple, in addition to encircling the Northwest Front, a part of the Australasian army has already moved south to Minneapolis, intending to directly cut off the rear route of the Northwest Front.

As can be seen from the map, there are only two routes on which the Northwestern Front wants to retreat. One is to retreat east to Minneapolis and then to the Great Lakes, and the other is to follow the river south to Kansas and then head straight east.

If nothing else, the retreat route of the US Northwest Front must have been the first.

Because they also have the task of defending the Great Lakes industrial zone. If Minnesota were to Australasia, Wisconsin and Illinois would also be fish on the Australasian board.

But now, the Australasian army has moved ahead of schedule, and the route of the retreat of the North-Western Front has almost been cut off.

There were only two options left for General Pershing, one was to follow the river south to Kansas and then reorganize the defense in Illinois.

The other is to quickly retreat to Minnesota and start a decisive battle with the Australasian army in Minnesota.

However, with less than 70,000 troops at the hands of General Pershing, it would be very difficult to break through the encirclement of Australasia and achieve any kind of retreat.

Soon, General Pershing realized that he didn't need to make decisions himself.

Because only a few hours later, the reserve force at Carrington urgently reported that a large number of Australasian troops had been spotted and that an exchange of fire had begun.

The troops in the rear said that they could hold out for up to two hours, and if there was no support from the front, the enemy would most likely break through Carrington's defenses.

Support?

General Pershing looked at the troop deployment map in his hand and smiled bitterly, and he had already made a choice in his heart.

After the loss of the 7th Division, the forces in his hands had been greatly reduced. At present, the maximum number of troops that can support Carrington is only 5,000, and the weapons and ammunition are even more limited.

Such support may be able to hold the Australasian army back for a while, but for how long?

Carrington was already less than 100 kilometers from Bismarck, and it was likely that the enemy would have breached Carrington's defenses before reinforcements arrived.

"Son, order the soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender." General Pershing looked at his herald with a dead face, changed his usual seriousness, and said very benevolently.

"Your Excellency, General." Looking at General Pershing, who seemed to have made a big decision, the herald was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief.

"I am a soldier, and for a soldier, I can only accept dying on the battlefield, and I can't accept being captured alive by the enemy.

Child, please bury my body after I commit suicide. Tell all the soldiers of the Northwest Front to lay down their arms and stop resisting, and the Australasian will let them return to their homeland.

If possible, please also say to all Americans on my behalf that this defeat is my fault alone, and has nothing to do with the soldiers.

Tell that guy Patton that I don't blame him for his decision, but he also has to keep all the soldiers of the Northwest Front safe, and tell him that this is what I said. General Pershing instructed the herald to go down and convey the order.

Then, looking at the empty makeshift war room, General Pershing picked up the gun in his hand, opened the safe, and loaded it.

Bang!

At the same time that the U.S. Northwest Front announced its surrender, Pershing, a famous American general in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, also died honorably on the battlefield.

It was already the next day after Patton received the news of General Pershing's death. Hearing that General Pershing was unwilling to be captured and committed suicide on the spot, Patton's eyes instantly turned red.

Coming to the combat command room of the Northwest Army, looking at the familiar furnishings and the freeze-dried blood stains on the table, Barton nodded silently and said, "Old fellow, don't worry, I guarantee that all soldiers can return to their hometowns safely."

At the same time, I also guarantee that those who make mistakes will be punished, and that the United States should be ruled by the American people, not the damned guys who have been rotten by capital. ”

After the surrender of the Northwest Front, there was no resistance left in the north-central United States.

Just two days later, on November 15, 1928, Minneapolis was conquered, marking the spread of the war to the Great Lakes.

And that wasn't the end of the story, as in less than ten days, large numbers of Russian, Filipino, and Kalimantan troops patronized North and South Dakota and Nebragas, forcing state governments in all three states to declare their withdrawal from the war.

The surrender of the Northwest Army was a severe blow to the U.S. government.

Also in November, France conquered Louisiana and Oklahoma, with the intention of joining forces in Kansas.

As you can see from the map, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas are exactly the dividing line between the east and west of the United States.

This also means that since the beginning of the war, nearly half of the United States has fallen.

The surrender of the Northwest Front was good news for the combined forces, which represented the loss of more than a fifth of the troops available in the hands of the United States.

Although the United States is also training its troops, the poor state of the war has made many states understand the inevitable outcome of America's defeat, which has led to the slower and slower pace of recruitment training in the United States, with an average of less than 20,000 recruits per month.

On November 17, there was finally good news for the British side.

The Northeast of the United States is home to nearly a million troops, and in addition to the 300,000 troops of the United States, the number of soldiers in the Combined Army has exceeded 500,000.

Where did the extra 100,000 troops come from? Of course, it was the second reinforcement from Britain and France.

The French had promised to send at least 250,000 troops in order to gain more territory. Only 100,000 troops have been sent so far, and there is still a long way to go before the French promised.

Naturally, the British would not let go of the opportunity to trap the French, and at the strong request of the British, the second batch of 100,000 French reinforcements also arrived in mid-November, and soon joined the war against the United States.

Of course, the British will certainly not fail to help. With the financial support of the British, nearly 20,000 more were recruited from the Canadian region, and they also fought in the northeastern region of the United States.

Coupled with naval superiority, after more than a month of attacking, the British finally advanced the front hundreds of kilometers to the south, and now have fully occupied Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts.

The names of these states may seem unfamiliar, but there is actually a well-known state as well.

Massachusetts is also known as Massachusetts, where the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology is located.

Of course, there is also a famous city in Massachusetts called Boston, which is one of the largest cities in the eastern United States, second only to New York in size.

It can be seen from the breach of Boston that the United States has now resisted stubbornly.

The number of troops that the United States has invested in the northeastern battlefield has been maintained at about 300,000, which is almost the limit of the US government.

But the number of the combined army is still increasing, and the difference in numbers close to twice has already determined the direction of the entire battlefield.

In particular, the combined forces also have a large number of navies and air forces, which can not only support the combined forces on the sea surface, but also have absolute superiority in the sky.

Areas like Boston and New York were all on the seashore and within range of warships, which was why the combined forces were able to capture these cities so quickly.

In fact, by now, this war has become very clear, and it stands to reason that the US government should surrender.

However, I don't know what President Hoover thinks, even if the land, sea and air are at an absolute disadvantage, President Hoover still has no intention of surrendering.

Even at a recent government meeting, President Hoover angrily rebuked an official who had proposed surrender and directly advocated for the official's removal from office.

This has stirred up a thousand waves for the U.S. government, and it has also made more officials think of finding a way out.

On Nov. 23, several Britons walked out of the Florida state government smiling.

The next day, the Florida government announced its withdrawal from the war and said it would hold an independence referendum in the near future.

Florida was the first to spearhead the southeastern United States, and in just one week, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama announced their withdrawal from the war.

So far, the U.S. government has only been able to control a handful of states in the surrounding area, except for Washington, D.C.

Before President Hoover could get angry, something bigger came.

On November 29, 1928, MacArthur, who had returned to Washington to report on his duties, staged a mutiny, and the rebels soon captured the White House and imposed emergency administration on Washington.

MacArthur imprisoned President Hoover, the commander-in-chief of the Army, and some high-ranking government officials, and announced the abolition of President Hoover's rule and the establishment of a military government on the same day.

Such a dramatic change in the United States quickly attracted the attention of the whole world. Surprisingly, however, just the next day, MacArthur ordered all his soldiers to surrender on the spot and issued a Letter to the Americans

In this public statement, MacArthur said that the previous Washington tragedy was caused by President Hoover, and that the New York economic crisis was also behind the Boston and New York consortiums.

MacArthur said that the U.S. military would never sever swear allegiance to President Hoover, and that he would establish a new rule on behalf of the military and abolish the rotten U.S. government.
