Unlike Zhou Yu's comfort, the United States was in chaos. An innocent warship disappeared, and 250 officers and soldiers on the ship also mysteriously disappeared. This was a huge event in the United States at that time.
In the Office of the President of the White House of the United States, a group of big shots gathered together, including President Arthur, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Commander of the Navy, Commander of the Army, Vice President, etc.
Arthur broke the extremely quiet scene with a solemn expression. Is there any news from the intelligence department?
The intelligence chief stood up and replied: There is no news at all. It is initially estimated that it may have hit a rock and sank!
Others were silent, with serious and quiet expressions.
Even if they hit the rocks, someone has to escape? Why didn't Kester or anyone else show up now? Arthur couldn't accept this explanation no matter what.
No, our country's eastern coastline is too weak. Three more warships will be dispatched to strengthen defense.
In addition, our country’s maritime territory is vast and we only have about twenty warships. Should we consider adding a few more modern warships to strengthen our country’s maritime defense?
The Vice President took over the topic. It is impossible at the moment. The House will not support it. Your old boss, Mr. Conklin, also has great objections to you. You know this. He is dissatisfied with you for not allowing him to have real power in the government.
Deeply dissatisfied.
Your tariff cuts, your anti-polygamy bill, your ban on polygamists from holding public office and exercising their right to vote, your "spoils-sharing system", etc., have greatly touched the interests of some people, and you do not have a large number of support in both parties.
, so...
Is that all? How can these people ignore the interests of the country for personal gain? Arthur asked his partner angrily.
The answer to him was still suffocating silence.
Hey! Then, let’s do it from the side! Arthur said weakly;
News came out shortly after this incident; the United States announced that according to the Monroe Doctrine, the Hawaiian Islands were part of the American system, and American ships had the right to refuel and repair in Hawaii.
It also announced the signing of a treaty of friendship and trade with North Korea, recognizing North Korea's independence, but the United States received consular jurisdiction and most-favored-nation status.
It was also announced that the United States and Mexico had signed a reciprocal trade treaty.
Shortly after the U.S. government announced the above, the Queen of Hawaii also declared that Hawaii is an independent kingdom with sovereignty. The United States has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The Hawaiian Islands have no relationship with the United States.
After the Hawaii statement was issued, six warships of the U.S. Pacific Squadron, with a total tonnage of 20,000 tons, arrived in Hawaii in late February 1983. However, they found that Hawaii's defenses were strict and there were many warships patrolling the waters near the Hawaiian Islands. The U.S. Pacific Squadron looked at
When deterrence by force was hopeless, they had no choice but to sail back in despair.
This situation further motivated the Arthur government's shipbuilding plan.
In May 1983, the House of Representatives approved Arthur's proposal to build four modern warships (two cruisers, two gunboats) and establish gun factories for the army and navy.
In the first half of the second year, the Arthur administration allocated $1.5 million to fund the construction of fortifications along the east and west coasts of the United States.
When the wheel of time rolled to May 19, 1883, following the trajectory of history, the Battle of Paper Bridge broke out. In the Paper Bridge area on the outskirts of Hanoi today, French Army Colonel Commander Li Weiye led more than 400 fully armed soldiers
The French soldiers in red coats were standing in a loose formation, carrying long rifles sparsely.
They were invited and provoked by the North Vietnamese Zhongyong Army today, and they were ready to show off to the Zhongyong Army. They thought that those long-braided pigs with broadswords, spears, and blunderbuss were no threat to them. words.
The braided pigs are impatient and dare to challenge the dignity of the powerful French soldiers. So they are determined to teach these guys a lesson today. These guys who don't know the heights of the world will let the loyal army know what the powerful French Imperial Army is.
The Zhongyong Army had already arranged it, and an ambush circle with a radius of 3 kilometers was ready. This ambush circle was planned by Zhou Yu and was commanded on site by Lieutenant General Commander Yang Zhuoen of the First Group Army. There were as many as 15,000 on-site combat troops. Multiple people.
There are an artillery position consisting of one hundred and twenty single-barreled 76mm rapid-fire cannons, sixty single-barreled 40-caliber 152mm rapid-fire cannons, as well as a number of small steel cannons and various light and heavy machine guns.
Today's Zhongyong Army is no longer what it used to be. They have long since replaced their guns with cannons. With Zhou Yu's huge investment in pounds and dollars at any cost...
The current standard weapons of the Zhongyong Army are a Black Star pistol and a Mauser 98b. Due to Zhou Yu's order, the Mauser 98k has not been equipped with troops. On average, every ten people have two 1814 new gas-guided light machine guns. A wheeled 20mm large-caliber fully automatic gas-guided Type 1814 heavy machine gun.
Zhou Yu asked the entire army to use artillery first when it is possible to use artillery. Under normal circumstances, the lives of soldiers should be the priority, followed by the economy. In other words, the Zhongyong Army must be people-oriented and can use money to attack resolutely. No human life is needed to fill it.
The lives of soldiers come first. The moment all the officers and soldiers of the Zhongyong Army received the order, they were moved to the core and became even more loyal to Zhou Yu. This made the Zhongyong Army more united and its combat effectiveness stronger.
Li Weiye's legion also had more than a dozen small-caliber rapid-fire cannons. Originally, Li Weiye was not prepared to bring cannons, but he saw that Zhiqiao was not too far from Hanoi and it was more convenient to carry small-caliber cannons. For safety reasons, he finally decided It was decided to carry a small number of small caliber artillery pieces.
Report to the commander that the French army has completely entered the range of our artillery. Please give the commander instructions.
After another 500 meters, Yang Zhuen gave the order without hesitation.
Ten minutes later, the signal corps reported again that the French army had advanced 500 meters.
Order the first brigade of the First Group Army in the direction of Zhiqiao to seal the gap in the direction of Zhiqiao, and order our artillery positions to carry out carpet bombing for 15 minutes. After the bombardment is completed, order the rest of our army to launch attacks into the encirclement. When charging, we must annihilate all the enemy troops within our ambush circle. Whoever lets go of a red-haired ghost will be questioned by me.
Yes, Commander!
At this time, Li Weiye's army did not know that the god of death was coming. Everyone was muttering in their hearts that these ghosts who were afraid of death had clearly raised a provocation, but they couldn't even see a ghost. When they fight, they must give it to them. These stupid pigs look at the colors.
Their hearts are still stuck in the traditional war model of face-to-face combat, but they are destined to pay the price for their ignorance today, because what they are facing is this perverted army led by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu began to instill the advanced tactics of later generations from the time he developed the army. He required loyal and brave troops to pursue the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice on the battlefield and never pursue personal heroism. Once found, they would be severely punished. Therefore, the French army You are destined to pay a heavy price for ignorance from the beginning.
Suddenly, the French soldiers heard a large number of piercing and sharp chirping, chirping, chirping strange sounds. Everyone was very curious about what kind of ghostly noise it was making, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, Li Weiye had a very bad premonition. It was not going to be good. There was a shelling. Everyone got down quickly. Suddenly, Li Weiye realized that it was the sound of shells flying through the air at high speed. He yelled for the soldiers to lie down, but this was already
It was very late. Before everyone could react, the shells had already landed on their heads. Under the dense rain of shells, all they had to do was return to the embrace of their God.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom explosions were heard incessantly. For a time, the battlefield of the French mobile troops was filled with flesh and blood and shrapnel. All the French officers and soldiers would never have thought until their death that the war would still happen.
You can hit me like this, and you will be paralyzed. Isn’t this bullying? There is no chivalry at all.
When the Zhongyong Army began to charge 15 minutes later, what awaited them was not the return fire of French guns and bullets, but a deathly land. There was not a single complete corpse or weapon on the battlefield, and there were stumps, severed hands and metal fragments everywhere.
Some of the minced meat still had some burnt rags hanging on it, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and meat. There were many recruits of the loyal and brave army who had not been tested by blood and fire, and they could not stand this cruel scene.
, lying on the ground and vomiting out all his overnight meal.
The commander of the Zhongyong Army, Yang Zhuoen, did not scold them, but Yang Zhuen knew that the Zhongyong Army after this war will be even sharper on the battlefield in the future. Through this war, they will fully mature and become a team.
A true and qualified soldier.
With an absolute advantage in numbers, location, and weapons, the more than 400 French troops, without any effective defensive measures or preparations, were instantly wiped out by the First Army Group's intensive artillery fire. They did not even have time to die.
After firing a shot, not even the shadow of the enemy was seen, and the French colonel and commander Li Weiye died for his country.
This boastful general who once threatened to invade China north along the Red River and dreamed of establishing a so-called "Eastern Empire" including Vietnam and southwestern China died in a foreign country without completing his rhetoric.
Immediately afterwards, the Zhongyong Army did not give the French army a chance to breathe. Yang Zhuoen led the entire army of 15,000 people to rest for a while, and quickly surrounded Hanoi, Vietnam, which was not too far away from Zhiqiao, and attacked the French army stationed in Hanoi, Vietnam.
, launched a fierce bombardment with heavy artillery.
After the bombardment, the Zhongyong Army rushed into the smoke-filled Hanoi City and had a brief street battle with the French troops stationed in Hanoi.
There were about a thousand people left in Hanoi. The French army without a supreme commander was shocked by the early shelling and did not put up much resistance. The remaining French army surrendered. (As early as 1982, the French army attacked
When they were in Hanoi, Vietnam, Liu Yongfu asked Zhou Yu for instructions, but Zhou Yu asked him to ignore it)
After the victory in the Hanoi War, the Zhongyong Army seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition, as well as a large amount of money and jewelry collected by the French army, and rescued King Nguyen of Vietnam and his group of civil and military ministers. The King of Vietnam excitedly named Liu Yongfu as the
King of Northern Vietnam.
After taking away all the supplies and prisoners, Yang Zhuen left the ruined Hanoi to the King of Vietnam, but he led the troops to withdraw to the base of the Zhongyong Army. The King of Vietnam and his group of ministers looked at the dilapidated Hanoi.
Hanoi City and the empty Royal Palace, it’s really hard to cry with big eyes and small eyes!
