Under the personal mediation of His Majesty the Chinese Emperor, the exiled government of the Republic of Alabama, which was taking political asylum in the Confederacy, finally agreed to negotiate with the U.S. government on the issue of Alabama's independence. However, before that, they first demanded the release of political prisoners, and also demanded the release of political prisoners.
Those Alabama independent congressmen who had no time to run away at first. Several of these guys were later arrested and tried and convicted on charges of treason. It would not be easy for them to be released under the American legal system, unless Brian
Use the President’s pardon power.+
But the recent period has been chaotic, and the Republican Party is watching eagerly. If Bryan exercises his power of amnesty on some convicted traitors, it will probably trigger a massive attack from the Republican Party. Therefore, this issue needs to be debated, and of course it will take time.
, anyway, the Alabama government-in-exile has insisted that it will not negotiate unless it releases political prisoners, so let’s talk about it next!
Yang Feng is not in a hurry, and Brian is not in a hurry either. He just wants to use this to give those consortium capitalists a hope, lest they continue to jump over the wall and break the net. He is not stupid. Why is Yang Feng torturing the United States? It is not just the American industry.
It has created competitive pressure on him. If the American industry does not weaken to a level that he can accept, this guy will never stop attacking the United States. If the farmers he represents do not want to continue to attack American industrial capitalists under Emperor Yang
If they suffer the consequences of being a fish in the pond, then the best way is to cooperate. Anyway, this is also in their interests.
With the decline of American industry in recent years, life for farmers has become better and better. Bankers who used to be dismissive of them are all smiling. Wall Street investors are increasingly turning to agriculture. They once controlled them.
The railway capitalists who were destined to lose their dignity have also given up. A large amount of transportation capacity is idle, making the transportation of agricultural products the last straw for major railway companies to survive. Oil merchants who cannot export to the outside world are desperately building gas stations in rural areas. And Vietnam
The increasingly prosperous export of agricultural products and the large amount of Chinese dollars earned are making farmers' lives proud. They welcome this kind of America, and they hope it can continue like this forever.
Although the shrinkage of industry has caused a large number of workers to become unemployed, the problem is that there is too much uncultivated land in the United States. Under a series of encouragement measures by the U.S. government, a large number of unemployed workers are flocking to those uninhabited wastelands, using resources from the Confederacy and the
Cheap agricultural machinery, pesticides and high-quality seeds purchased by China have reclaimed vast tracts of wasteland into farmland. Countless villages are springing up like stars. With the efforts of these true chosen people of God, the Garden of God dreamed by the great sage Thomas Jefferson is being
Realizing it in his own hands, every time he sees this scene, President Brian will feel that all his efforts are so valuable.
While Yang Feng continued to torment the American people, on the distant European continent, the war that had been silent for many days finally rekindled. The German and Austrian armies on the eastern front launched a large-scale attack at the same time, targeting Russia's Polish salient. Among them, the Germans
Under the command of the new commander General Hindenburg, the Ninth Army attacked Lodz from Silesia, with the target directed at Warsaw. The Eighth Army of East Prussia was divided into two directions, attacking the southern flank all the way, and heading east to contain Niemann.
The Russian army on the river defense line. The Austro-Hungarian First and Fourth Army counterattacked first to lift the siege of Przemyshl by the Russian army. Then they attacked Lublin to the north, cutting off the Russian army's retreat route in the Polish protrusion, and striving to fight against the German generals.
The Russian 2nd, 4th, and 6th armies here encircled and annihilated it. The Austro-Hungarian 2nd and 3rd armies counterattacked on the east bank of the Dniester River and retook Gorodok, which was occupied by the Russian army in the Battle of Galicia.
Lviv, Galich and other places completely drove the Russian army out of the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This is already the largest offensive that the German and Austrian armies can launch on the Eastern Front. The total strength of the six armies exceeds one million people. Of course, their enemies are more numerous. The current total strength of the Russian army on the Eastern Front battlefield
It has exceeded three million, but the vast majority of these three million are cannon fodder. The elite troops before the war have almost been wiped out. The current Russian army is all peasants who have been recruited urgently, and each of them stuffs a handful of them just from China.
The imported rifles were kicked directly into the trenches.
Fortunately, their opponents were not that good either. The German army was a bit better. The Austro-Hungarian Army was at the same level as Russia. The only people under Emperor Joseph who could really go to the battlefield were the Austrians and the Hungarian Magyars. Unfortunately, at this time, these two
The elites in this region have been submerged among the chaotic ethnic soldiers who have no fighting will. The only advantage is that they also have a powerful artillery. Supported by a steady stream of steel imported from China and Sweden, Skoda and Sta
Seoul's two major arsenals worked hard to produce a large number of high-quality large-caliber heavy artillery for the front line.
Especially those super-large-caliber mortars, which caused the Russians misery from the beginning of the war. None of these giant mortars had a caliber less than 200, and they madly poured out shells weighing tens or even hundreds of kilograms.
On the Russian military positions, even the Skoda 305 giant howitzer was used. Although this kind of artillery is inconvenient to move, it is still barely possible to cooperate with the high-power crawler artillery truck imported from China in the name of construction machinery.
On the battlefield in the direction of Lodz, Hindenburg used 500 tanks converted from bulldozers at a time, and the armor was thicker than the ones originally used on the Western Front. Although the speed was slower, it was about the same as the speed of an infantry charge.
, the Russian farmers who saw these steel monsters for the first time were frightened. Of course, these gray animals, most of whom did not even know the words, did not know that these tanks had already appeared many times on the Western Front battlefield.
Looking at the steel monsters that were trembling with the earth and rumbling with flames, looking at the sparks that the bullets fired in vain on their bodies, looking at the barbed wire in front of them being crushed under the tracks, there was a serious lack of support for the Tsar.
The gray animals who worked hard for their lives ignored the angry roars of the officers and even the sabers of the supervising team. They screamed in fear and escaped from their trenches, and then fled towards the rear.
When the German army broke through the Russian defense line, their cavalry appeared next. Under the command of General Mackensen, the Germans' iron hooves began to wreak havoc on the fleeing Russian army, and blood spattered in the cold light of the saber swing.
Dead bodies covered the plains of Eastern Europe. At the same time, weapons that frightened the Russians even more appeared. The first batch of medium-sized airships made of aluminum alloy shrouded the Russian army like dark clouds covering the sky. Under the influence of Yang Feng,
Inspired by the escort airships, the Germans directly installed large-caliber machine guns imported from China on the first batch of experimental airships. Although these machine guns that shoot downwards from an altitude of nearly a thousand meters actually do not cause much damage, they are very effective against gray
The mental blow to the animals was heavy. Any organized resistance would be the target of their strafing fire, and they would even be bombarded by small bombs. The defeated Russian army, driven by two groups of enemies above and behind them, could only move towards them like crazy.
The Vistula River runs wild.
The Ninth Army of the Central German Army took less than a day to break through the Russian defense line on the east bank of the Warta River. The Russian Fourth Army stationed on this line was completely defeated. More importantly, the Russian army on the front line was defeated too quickly and suddenly.
Before the headquarters of the Fourth Army in Lodz had time to run, it was blocked by a German army that made a surprise attack on a truck. Then two entire German armies surrounded the city, and the gray animals lost their will to resist.
They surrendered to the Germans in large numbers. The commander of the Fourth Army was so angry that he committed suicide. Then the vast majority of the entire army headquarters surrendered to the Germans.
The fall of Lodz put the Russian Second Army, which was fighting fiercely with the German Eighth Army on the northern front, and the Sixth Army on the southern front, into an immediate dilemma of being attacked from both sides. The Fifth Army, which was originally in Warsaw as a backup, had to face the defeat of the Russian Army.
The army launched a counterattack towards Lodz. However, bad news came soon after. The Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army used artillery to blast away the Russian defense line besieging Przemysl. The next step must be to attack Vis
In Lublin on the east bank of the Wa River, the Fifth Army had to turn around and go south again. At the same time, the Sixth Army abandoned the defense line on the north bank of the Vistula River that was entangled with the Austro-Hungarian First Army and began to retreat towards Warsaw and Ivan Godot.
Now this group army is in the most dangerous situation. Behind them are the Germans, in front are the Austrians, and there is the Vistula River to the east. Once the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army successfully attacks, they will be completely surrounded. As they retreat, the northern front
All the Russian troops on the west bank of the Vistula River also retreated to the east bank. In this way, in fact, the entire west of the Vistula River fell into the hands of the German and Austrian armies. The Vistula River became the new line of defense for the Russian army, and the Germans
The cannon was pointed directly at Warsaw.
"Poor Polish people!" Emperor Yang sighed hypocritically. He was still very happy for the Polish people who were ravaged by the war. In fact, the country Poland did not exist at this time, but of course it existed in theory.
, except that the crown of the King of Poland is on Nicholas' head.
It is necessary to increase the suffering of the Polish people. It is best to let the German and Russian armies fight on the Vistula River defense line. It does not take more than half a year, and Warsaw will basically cease to exist. In this case, Russia must be strengthened.
The courage of the soldiers showed them that chariots are not actually scary.
You must know that the reason why Hindenburg was able to break through the Russian defense line so smoothly was entirely due to the 500 modified tanks he had gathered. Although this thing was just a basic version of the armored vehicle in Yang Feng's opinion, for
To the gray animals who are generally illiterate, it is a monster, and they must know that this thing is not difficult to destroy.
"Go, contact the Russians and ask them if they want anti-aircraft artillery?" Emperor Yang patted Concubine Ye on the butt and said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
