This unprecedented victory also reaffirmed China's qualifications to join the club of great powers. Although the fact that the yellow race defeated the white race made the European powers somewhat sour, the fact is the fact.
You must know that their opponent is the US military, which defeated the British back then. Although the French may be unhappy when they say this, after all, the Americans have always said so, so Rochambeau is destined to be lost in the glory of Washington. The huge French Expeditionary Force
It is destined to disappear in the legend of that poor Continental Army, but now the Chinese have defeated it in such a brilliant way. In fact, it should be said that it has completely annihilated the US Army. This is enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army is no less than that of any European power.

Congratulations from all sides have kept Emperor Yang smiling recently. Of course, the main reason why he keeps smiling is because he can go to sack New York soon. When he thinks of the American capital of wealth turning "shenyin" under his feet, he
There is a little excitement. The only regret is that there is no Federal Reserve at this time, so naturally there is no Federal Reserve vault for you to rob. However, the vaults of major banks in New York are still worth grabbing.
As for whether this would cause the U.S. economy to collapse and the currency to depreciate significantly, he really didn't care. At this time, the U.S. dollar was a gold coin with a gold content stipulated in the national mint law. As for the banknotes circulating in the world, they were just bank notes. In gold coins
Or U.S. Treasury bonds are used as margin and are issued by the federal and state national banks. If they want to depreciate, the Treasury Department will re-stipulate the gold content.
Anyone who dares to play like this and then fight has no integrity at all. This is why Germany had to compensate for marks in World War I, and France had to compensate for francs during the Franco-Prussian War. What they compensated was not printed waste paper, but serious gold marks, gold
The franc and banknotes are just a transit symbol, and what actually flows out is gold.
The Americans have no idea that a huge conspiracy targeting them is underway, and they are still going all out to deal with the current battlefield. Although there is no good news on the three fronts, there is no bad news elsewhere except California.
Whether it's Florida or Mobile, their enemies can't take a step forward. Of course, it can also be said that they can't take a step forward either.
So far, the remaining 180,000 U.S. troops under the leadership of General Merritt have stopped outside Mobile. Forty thousand Spanish troops are stationed at this port. The hope of defeating them is far away. The 600,000 U.S. troops led by General Miles are in
The waist of the Florida Peninsula could barely block the Spanish's crazy attack under the cover of poison gas and heavy artillery. And as a German division joined the battlefield, losses were rising sharply, and large numbers of U.S. troops and even state militiamen were rushing to reinforce it.
As for the distant California, what will happen if we don't care? Can China still conquer the Rocky Mountains? If you think about it, you will know that it is completely impossible.
After some intense debate, the U.S. Congress finally passed President Arison's proposal to expand the military by another half million. The capitalists knew very well that although it seemed gloomy now, they had already seen the light, even though the coalition forces were already in the United States.
Landing on three sides, they could not get a breakthrough no matter where they were. For the coalition forces on the transoceanic expedition, what they needed most was a quick victory rather than a protracted war. But the United States is different, with 70 million people and huge industrial strength.
Let it not matter how long it takes to fight, as long as it is willing to fight for five or ten years.
The only worry is that after the hurricane period has passed, the coalition forces will resume their offensive on the coast. However, these two months are enough to complete the expansion of the army. 600,000 troops protect the coast, and only one or two divisions of coalition forces can be deployed at a time.
Landing would be tantamount to suicide. As for the port blockade, the worst thing is to reduce exports. Anyway, the war consumption on the front line is supporting it, and those capitalists are not very worried about losing business. In fact, this war is driving the originally depressed United States.
Economy, especially the steel and arms industries.
Of course, they turned a blind eye to the thousands of soldiers lying in pools of blood on the front lines.
On a windy and rainy night in August 1899, in the closed Havana Port, countless German and Russian soldiers were boarding the warships they needed to board in the rain. Outside the port, huge fleets returning from San Diego and Mobile were waiting.
, waiting for the landing fleet they will escort.
Twenty-four large landing ships will be responsible for transporting one German division, one Russian division, and the Chinese regiment, a total of 26,000 people, to carry out beach operations. The remaining one German division and two Russian divisions will carry 20
A large troop carrier and temporarily requisitioned high-speed ocean-going merchant ships followed, and landed from the port after the beach grabbing forces captured New York.
There are two brand-new giant ships nearly 100 meters long that are particularly eye-catching because of their weird shapes. In fact, no one who has seen them until now knows what these two cargo ships are used for.
"This is a roll-on/roll-off ship. Yang's Shipyard specially designed it for transporting cars. Each of these two cargo ships has 500 parking spaces. They can transport a thousand five-ton trucks in total. Each truck can carry 20 soldiers.
It is calculated that these 1,000 vehicles can transport 20,000 people, and the highway speed can reach 100 kilometers at the fastest. If there is no obstruction, it can reach Washington in four hours along the asphalt highway from New York to Washington.
If we land in New York, the US division stationed in Washington will definitely take a train to go north to support us. We will set off after they pass Baltimore. It is estimated that we can go to Baltimore when they arrive in Philadelphia, leaving one division to sweep Baltimore.
One division went straight to Washington, and by the time the American troops arrived in New York, we had already begun to destroy their capital.
There are nearly 40,000 people left, who are capable enough to defend New York. When the US military counterattack fails and we are in a stalemate, they can destroy the two divisions in Washington and Baltimore and then turn back and attack the New York defenders from both sides. At this time, the US military has only one in the north.
One hundred thousand troops, one division in Washington, two divisions in New York and New Jersey, one division in Norfolk, and one division in Boston. Once we occupy New York, there is absolutely no possibility of them taking it back." Emperor Yang smiled grimly.
Then he introduced his strategy to Little Maoqi again.
"I'm looking forward to the expressions on Americans' faces when they lose New York." Little Maoqi shrugged and said. After that, he and Emperor Yang looked at each other, and then laughed happily.
A total of 60,000 troops quickly completed boarding in the rain, and then one giant ship slowly left the berth and sailed towards the exit of Havana Bay. Of course, they claimed that they were going to reinforce Florida. No one would doubt this. When the German army appeared on the battlefield
After the war, the Americans had long been waiting for the remaining German and Russian troops in Cuba to join the battlefield. Otherwise, the U.S. Congress would not have approved the military expansion so quickly. Those senators knew very well that if these 60,000 elites joined the battlefield, Meyer would
It may be difficult for Si and his men to hold on.
This fleet met up with the escorting main fleet outside the harbor and then went directly north to meet up with another fleet waiting here off the coast of Miami. Nearly two hundred warships sailed north to New York in a mighty manner, in order to prevent being discovered by the Americans.
Whereabouts, the high-power radio jammer on the Chinese armored cruiser Haining in the fleet is always turned on, and all merchant ships encountered along the way are captured. No matter which country they are, they will be captured first, especially when the coastal blockade is temporarily lifted.
The American merchant ships that were rushing out to deliver goods could not let go of any of them.
However, this time the existence of radio interference technology was also exposed.
"Radio interference, how much does His Majesty the Emperor hide?" Tirpitz said expressionlessly.
"Who knows, but as the emperor of China, it is not unusual for him to hide some technologies for his country. It is said that Bofors currently has some high-end steel and aluminum materials that need to be imported from China." Cervera shrugged and said, Yang
No matter how many good things the emperor hid, it was not Spain's turn to be vigilant.
This time he transferred the flagship of the United Fleet to the Frederick III. The Spanish Navy is preparing to order two of the latest diesel engine battleships from Sweden if the gains in the United States are large enough this time. The high-speed ones are called perfect battleships.
The first two battleships are nearly completed in Gothenburg and will be delivered to the Chinese Navy in at most two months. All countries are paying attention, so now he needs to experience the power of diesel battleships up close. Although the Frederick III class is almost there, it is
The best warship in service now.
Tirpitz didn't say anything else. In fact, vigilance turned into vigilance. The German government also understood that no matter what Yang Feng's ambitions were for the world, Germany did not need to have a headache. Britain, Russia, and France were the ones that needed real headaches.
On the other hand, for Germany, developing deeper relations with China is the wisest choice. William has already begun to design a new alliance, the Three Emperors Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and China. If possible, he can even join the Ottomans.
and Spain, forming a behemoth that can challenge Britain's global hegemony, and then re-divide the world, especially the increasingly precious oil resources. The powerful Germany is now eager for this thing to the point of doing anything, otherwise it would not be possible.
Will join this war just for the oil security of Central America.
The two thousand-kilometer voyage from Cuba to New York required a long detour and was burdened by fully loaded merchant ships. It was not until a week later that this pirate group, which can be said to be the largest in history, arrived in the southeastern waters of New York Bay. It was different from when it set sail.
There were twelve more merchant ships in this fleet, and at this time, according to the telegram sent back by JY Company in New York, the Americans were still unaware of the enemy so close at hand.
