The British quickly conveyed Emperor Yang's proposal to the Americans, but it was obvious that this humiliating division was difficult for them to accept for a while, and by this time the first US military reinforcements had arrived in Phoenix.
People think that they may be able to use their victory on the battlefield to make Santos retreat.
A big battle ensued in the arid desert of Arizona. For this battle, Santos mobilized three entire divisions of the Mexican army, as well as 400 large trucks urgently purchased from China, shuttling throughout the day and night.
Between the front line and the Colorado River Valley, various supplies of materials were continuously delivered to the army. These trucks were actually loaded on the two roll-on-roll-off ships that came with the escort army, because the Gila River channel was dry and could not be transported by water.
The supplies were transferred directly to Santos. The dry and semi-desert terrain along the way did not even require the construction of any roads. Just drive straight ahead along the railway lines laid by the Americans, and the railway workers behind were still working hard to repair the railways.
, preparing to directly connect with American railways.
Adequate logistics laid the foundation for his final victory. Coupled with advanced equipment and strong fighting spirit, the Mexicans always took the initiative in this battle. On the other hand, their opponents, those who escaped from Mexico,
The U.S. military has not yet been freed from the shadow of defeat. The moment they saw the Mexicans, many of them lost their fighting spirit. The first three U.S. divisions that came after reorganization were passing by with their old opponents.
After half a month of fighting, they still could not escape the fate of failure.
After paying nearly 15,000 casualties, the US military still failed to defend Phoenix and had to defeat Las Cruces. Fortunately, their opponents also suffered heavy losses, and the Mexican army that captured Phoenix was temporarily unable to continue to attack.
Before attacking, Santos would not be able to sustain the nearly 1,000-kilometer expedition to Las Cruces with just trucks. Until he connected the railway with the American railway, the Mexican army could only hold on to Phoenix.
And just as the war between the United States and Mexico began, the rebels who occupied Sacramento also launched a large-scale attack south. This rebel army, which originally had only 20,000 people, was swelling like a snowball. In less than a month, it had already
It increased to 100,000. God knows where so many people came from. Mexicans, niggers, Japanese, especially Japanese. There were at least 60,000 Japanese among the 100,000 rebels. Anyway, ever since the Chinese army entered San Francisco
After that, the number of Japanese in the rebels began to increase exponentially, and they all brought their own weapons, even cannons.
This large-scale rebel army left 30,000 people to defend Sacramento, and the remaining 70,000 marched south in a mighty manner, recruiting surrenders and rebels along the way. Wherever they passed, ethnic minorities kept joining their ranks.
, even some Indians have joined the ranks of the rebels, and whoever joins will receive weapons. I really don’t know where they got so many firearms. Before they reached Bakersfield, the number had already swelled to 150,000.
The U.S. Army in San Diego, which was frightened and was originally preparing to concentrate two divisions to launch a counterattack in the Colorado River Valley, quickly retreated to its own fortress.
Moreover, when this rebel army went south, they no longer supported Mexico. They dug out the grizzly bear flag from the trash heap of history and simply shouted the slogan of the Republic of California. I think the Americans used it back then.
This flag took California away from the Mexicans, and now the same troubles have befallen them themselves. As the saying goes, retribution is inevitable. God's justice is clear.
"Since the people of California have such demands, the U.S. government should face it. After all, the United States is a free country and the people have the freedom to choose. The establishment of the Confederacy is a good proof of the spirit of freedom in the United States. Since they have independent
Rights, I think the people of California should also have the right to freedom." Emperor Yang said seriously.
"Your Majesty, you should understand that the value of California far exceeds that of Arizona and New Mexico, and it is difficult for the U.S. government to bear the cost of losing it." Sa Daoyi said carefully. Originally Yang Feng's division plan did not include California, and he was a little surprised.
! Only when the California rebels shouted the slogan of the California Republic did he realize that Yang Feng’s purpose was here. But in this case, it would be difficult for Americans to accept it. Compared with Arizona and New Mexico, which are basically all sand.
It seems that the value of California is much higher. Apart from other things, it is difficult for Americans to give up the oil fields near Los Angeles.
"Mr. Minister, what is the core of American values? Freedom. It is the spirit of freedom that created the United States. Those great American sages used their blood to water the flowers of freedom. Is the current United States going to let it wither?" Yang
Feng talked nonsense passionately.
Sa Daoyi knew that he was simply talking nonsense, but although Emperor Yang's words were nonsense, he also understood the meaning. This guy would not let California go, which he could understand.
From China's standpoint, he would not miss this opportunity. Controlling California would be equivalent to closing the door for the United States to enter the Pacific. From now on, China would no longer have to worry about threats from the east coast of the Pacific. But this is something the UK does not want to see.
Yes, the British government has supported the United States over the years. In addition to controlling this country, another important purpose is to allow the United States to continue to contain China. However, if the United States loses California, this strategy will undoubtedly come to nothing.
In this case, the British government decided to suspend the mediation they had already started and let the Americans fight. Let's see the outcome of the war first. Anyway, it was not the British who died. In fact, when the United States has fallen to this point, the British are still somewhat vulnerable.
Gloating about the misfortune, seeing the descendants of these rebellious officials and traitors lying in front of them and begging, even British gentlemen would inevitably feel a little happy.
However, the British were ready to let the Americans do it, but the Americans were unwilling. Emperor Yang's direct intervention made Brian and the U.S. Congress feel a bone-deep fear. Of course they knew who the so-called Japanese rebels were.
Among the two divisions of the Chinese Army stationed in San Francisco, one has never been seen in the military camp transformed from the original San Francisco Fortress. However, ships bound for Sacramento often dock outside the military camp at night. The Americans can be sure that this division
He has become a Japanese among the rebels. This level of intervention is actually only one step away from officially declaring war on the United States, and according to the style of His Majesty the Emperor, it is only a matter of time.
Bryan and the senators shuddered at the thought of facing this desperate enemy again, as if they were seeing the fire in Washington again. To be honest, their capital has not yet healed the wounds of the war. They thought they could have done it back then.
They used white paint to paint the presidential palace that was burnt black by the British into the White House, but now it has been bombed into ruins. It is estimated that even if it is painted into flowers, it cannot cover up the bloody scars.
And once China really declares war on the United States, it will not just be a war between China and the United States. The Caribbean Alliance Treaty still exists. As long as the Chinese fleet stationed in Puerto Rico joins the battle, then Germany, Russia, and Spain will definitely fulfill the alliance treaty. Once again
Joining the war against the United States, the four-nation war of aggression against the United States that just ended less than two years ago will be repeated. Back then, the United States still had a navy that could barely maintain its face. Now the entire coast of the United States is completely open, and even those coastal defenses back then
The fortresses have been demolished. If the coalition fleet really comes north again, the Americans will have no choice but to flee for their lives.
And they are not the only ones this time. China also has an alliance treaty with the Confederacy, which means that the Confederacy will also join the war against the United States. As long as the Confederacy declares war on the United States, the two states of Alabama and Georgia, which have already been flirting with them, will
I would definitely run to join them without hesitation.
Just one Mexico is already straining the United States. If five more powerful enemies are added to it all at once, the country may be destroyed at worst.
At that time, the only hope the United States could place was for Britain to directly send troops to support it. France, with whom they currently have the strongest relationship, must not count on it. They had just been defeated by Yang Feng and were still licking their wounds. If the British army came to the United States to help
, then if the United States loses, it will directly subdue the country, if it wins, the United States will become a protectorate of the United Kingdom again, and the bloodshed of the Japanese War will be in vain. It can be said that the United States will lose everything no matter whether it wins or loses. The British now turn to support the United States to continue the war.
I'm afraid I don't think so.
Brian doesn’t dare to take this risk, and neither does the U.S. Congress. They can’t afford it!
"What, negotiation? Is there anything we need to negotiate between us?" Yang Feng looked at Kanger blankly.
"No, no, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. It is not a negotiation between China and the United States, but the U.S. government is asking you to use your international influence to mediate this unfortunate war between us and the Mexicans. The U.S. government does not want
Seeing the continued bloodshed of the people of the two countries, I believe you do not want to continue to see it, but there is a lack of a proper communicator between us and the Mexicans, and you are undoubtedly the most suitable." Conger said with a smile, telling the truth.
At this moment, he felt like a guy who was leaning against the door to show off his smile, and someone had just stepped on his face, but he could only get up and show off his smile with shoe marks on his face.
"Ah, that's it. This can help. To be honest, I very much hope that peace can be restored in America. As a pacifist, I hate war the most. It's true that you have fought for so long and so many people have died.
It's quite sad. Fortunately, President Santos and I also have some personal contacts. I think he will give me this face." Yang Feng said with a smile.
Americans are so knowledgeable, which really caught him off guard. (To be continued...)
