The sun never sets in America

Chapter 176 War and Third Parties
boom... boom...

On the Mexican battlefield, this is an unknown number of artillery shellings so far. In fact, from the beginning of the war, the artillery shells consumed by both sides have exceeded the sum of the Sino-Mexican War and even all previous wars combined.

The total number of artillery pieces of the Chinese and American armies exceeds [-], and the number of artillery shells fired every day is in the tens of thousands.

Even though the American artillery is not as good as the Han army in terms of range, it can still be used as a fixed fort with the help of some specific terrain and fortifications. The only disadvantage is that it cannot move quickly. It is not as flexible as the Han army. big difference.

Overall, the two sides are in a stalemate stage, but from a local battlefield perspective, the Han army actually has the absolute initiative because of its more flexible and changeable fighting style.

As for the war, in fact, the so-called tactics and strategies before the war are of no use anymore, because both sides have already used them. The next step is to compete with each other to see who can resist the consumption better.

In this regard, the United States and Han are actually comparable. On the surface, the United States has several times the population of Han and its economy is larger, but in fact, this is not the case.

Judging from the battlefield, the current main battlefield for both sides is still in Mexico. This area is further away from the United States, especially the eastern industrial area. Even if the United States has strong industrial strength, when it comes to Mexico, only [-]% will be left at most. The remaining [-]% was actually consumed on the road and the consumption required for encirclement and suppression by various states due to mixed brigades.

All these prevent the huge productivity of the United States from being fully and completely displayed on the battlefield. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Han army to fight the US military back and forth and have the upper hand.

From the strength of the two countries, the United States is strong and Han is weak. However, from the perspective of the war, especially from the perspective of various factors, the two sides are actually on the same starting line. For the time being, no one can do anything about the other. As it is now Conflicts occur every day, which is actually a natural reaction under the inertia of war.

The Chinese and American armies are actually holding back their strength. The Americans are waiting for reinforcements and new weapons, and the Han people are also waiting for the large army training from the rear.

Once one party prepares in advance, war will break out, and it will be endless! !
…………

"Damn, these American dogs are really capable of fighting, and they won't even retreat!!" Xu Zhi said to himself in disbelief as he looked at the US military, which was completely different from what it had been some time ago.

The American army on the opposite side had been fighting with a regiment under his command for half an hour, and it still hadn't collapsed. This was unimaginable in the past.

On the first day of the war, Xu Zhi clearly remembered that it took less than 27 minutes to repel a main American division. Later, he even killed half of that division.

But why do Americans seem to be making progress now, but they really haven't retreated? ?
Xu Zhi was puzzled.

In fact, the current U.S. military has changed a lot from the U.S. military that first came to Mexico in the early days. The biggest change is the reduction in the number of U.S. troops, from 11 at the beginning of the war to 8 now. That is to say, there were at least 3 casualties in total.

It seems that the number of people has decreased, but the actual combat power has increased.

If the original U.S. military was like a towel that had not been wrung out of water, then how many U.S. troops are now like a brick that is hard even if it is dry? The U.S. military has become hard! !

The survivors of the current US military are all veterans who have experienced the test of long-term wars. The quality of veterans is much higher than that of recruits, so this is the main reason why the US military can fight back and forth with the Han army in volleys of guns.

However, the US military is not without its weaknesses. At the very least, fighting with bayonets is not its strength.

"Attack the bayonet!!"

swoosh...

"kill……"

"Kill the beautiful dog!!"

A Han infantry regiment with more than 3000 men with bayonets pointed directly towards the American army on the opposite side.

The U.S. troops who were still shooting methodically just now were so frightened that they almost ran away, because they knew very well that these Han Chinese were very good at bayonet fighting, and there was no chance of winning against them in a bayonet fight. Therefore, the U.S. military commander did not hesitate. The order to retreat was given.

The retreating movements were very skillful, making people wonder if they were too used to retreating.

When the war ended, there were less than 2000 American corpses on the entire battlefield, which was completely incomparable to the nearly [-] people on the first day.

"What the hell!!" Xu Zhi smashed his big-brimmed hat on the table of the headquarters. "These American dogs are now considered to be spirits. It's hard to beat them!!" Xu Zhi's face There was a helpless expression on his face.

Even he had to admit that this group of American troops had really grown up during the long war. They were no longer a bunch of stupid boys. They fought when they should fight and retreated when they needed to. They were completely a first-class army As for the level of the army, except for their courage and ability to execute tactics, there is almost nothing wrong with them.

"General Xu, let me see, it is not a problem for us to continue fighting like this. It is best to wait until our army's rear troops and materials are ready." Tang Yuxin, chief of staff of the Wuwei Division, suggested to Xu Zhi.

"Our army has been fighting with the US military for more than [-] days, and our soldiers are already exhausted. If we fight again, we may lose our vitality." Tang Yuxin waited for Xu Zhi to turn his attention to him, and then explained, "If you want me to see it, why not First go on the defensive, use a small force to deal with the US military, while the larger force rests and recuperates in the rear. When reinforcements arrive, then join forces to engulf the US military!!" Tang Yuxin continued to suggest to Xu Zhi, his tone was quite sincere.

"Alas..." Hearing this, Xu Zhi sighed, "These Americans are a serious problem, that's all. Just bear with me for the time being. I won't believe Xu until I kill them alive when we have my army!" "After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he slammed his fist on the table to vent his depression.

As luck would have it, the American troops on the opposite side were also making similar plans and were waiting for reinforcements.

But where are the reinforcements? The Han reinforcements are still training in the military camp. The U.S. reinforcements have been delayed in arriving due to the encirclement and suppression of the mixed brigades. Everything the two sides are doing now is just an outpost battle for the future war! !

And in the major arsenals of Han and the United States, weapons are still being produced continuously, making final preparations for the upcoming war that will determine the direction of American history! !
.............................................

London, England……

London, which has just rained, looks like it has never rained before. That's because it rains so frequently in London that even if it rains just now, you don't actually feel anything.

The only feeling may be those pedestrians, because they can finally put away their umbrellas.

No. 1732 Downing Street is the office of successive British prime ministers. Since the King of England gave it to the first British Prime Minister Robert Walpole in [-], it has gone through many historical changes. It is still a symbol of British power, second only to Buckingham Palace and parliament.

squeak……

A carriage with a Han national flag stopped outside the gate of No. [-] Downing Street. Several guards wearing tall black bear hats immediately stepped forward to check until the carriage driver handed over the diplomatic envoy's pass. These few guards with eyes above their heads ran in to report...

After the announcement was completed, a middle-aged man wearing a black Western-style dress and a black top hat got out of the car. The man also had a mustache on his face, making him look more mature.

"Hello, Mr. Prime Minister..." Le Wenyuan, the Han minister to the UK, walked into No. [-] Downing Street and immediately shook hands with a middle-aged white man inside, greeting him warmly. "Hello, Mr. Minister..." Robert Peel, the current British Prime Minister, extended his right hand to shake hands with Le Wenyuan and replied.

"This is tea from the Far East. I have to say that tea is of Chinese origin." Robert Peel picked up the teacup with a smile and praised the tea from the Far East to Le Wenyuan.

"We Orientals don't like to add milk when drinking tea. In our opinion, only the original bitterness is the original taste of tea." Drinking this cup of British tea with milk, Le Wenyuan replied with a smile.

It seems like we are drinking tea, but in fact it may be the difference between Eastern and Western concepts.

The West likes English tea that is straightforward and sweet, while the East likes bitter, fragrant green tea. In fact, this is not only a difference in tea, but also a cultural difference.

British tea represents the directness of Western civilization. Green tea, and the tea ceremony culture behind it, actually represents the Tai Chi culture of the East. It is still unknown who is stronger and who is weaker.

But judging from the current international situation, the West occupies an absolutely dominant position.

"Mr. Minister, what's going on in America now? I heard that you massacred tens of thousands of Americans." Robert Peel put down his tea cup and asked Le Wenyuan in a very relaxed tone, as if he didn't care about the tens of thousands of American people who died. .

"This is a decision made by the people below. They are currently not in the territory of the Han Kingdom. We have no control over them." Le Wenyuan did Tai Chi to Robert Peel. He neither denied that it was the Han people who killed him, but also did not admit that the Huncheng Brigade What is the direct connection between what he did and the Han Dynasty?

"Of course, there are always some self-righteous people in this world." After hearing this, Robert Peel said to Le Wenyuan with a smile. His tone seemed to be very relaxed, but in fact he was hiding a sharp edge.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I completely agree with you." After hearing what Robert Peel just said, Le Wenyuan immediately echoed, "I think the United States is such a self-righteous country, isn't it?" Le Wenyuan then changed the topic It's on the United States.

"Of course, the ambitions of those American cowboys are just like their habits, dirty and wild!!" After hearing this, Robert Peel replied to Le Wenyuan in an extremely disdainful tone.

"So we should unite to deal with the Americans. We should let the United States withdraw its troops from Mexico and leave the territory that belongs to the Mexicans." After hearing this, Le Wenyuan said to Robert Peel, "Mr. Prime Minister, Defeating the United States is the common interest of our two countries, isn't it?" Seeing Rob Peel's lack of reaction, Le Wenyuan immediately took out the Anglo-Chinese Alliance as an endorsement.

"Of course, of course we need to defeat the United States. The British Empire will never deny this." Robert Peel replied to Le Wenyuan very patiently. It seemed to be watertight, but it did not have any actual content, which made Le Wenyuan feel secretly in his heart. Scold, old fox.

"But we can still see that the United States is still a powerful country that cannot be defeated in one go. I think your country should still try to coexist peacefully with the United States..." Robert Peel directly discussed the so-called issue in front of Le Wenyuan. China and the United States coexist peacefully.

Hearing this, Le Wenyuan almost rolled his eyes on the spot. Peaceful coexistence. Thanks to the British, shouldn't the British be so happy about this war? I'm afraid they are the first to hope that Han and the United States will fight to the death. That's Americans.

"We need to see that China and the United States, the two major American countries, need peace. Only peace can resolve all differences. War alone cannot resolve everything..." Robert Peel talked about the so-called so-called in front of Le Wenyuan. The impact of peace between China and the United States on America and even the world is just like the armistice between China and the United States, which is a great thing that benefits the world.

"Of course, because of the stubbornness of the Americans, I think your country should continue to exert pressure on them to get them to withdraw from the war." After Robert Peel finished talking about peace, he changed the subject and brought the topic to war.

"I think your country should continue to mobilize more troops to defeat the Americans and make the Americans understand the status quo and never achieve the goal of ending the war." Robert Peel faced the current war in front of Le Wenyuan. The situation is discussed at length and can be summed up in two words: increase troops! !

"Mr. Prime Minister, our Han country's national strength is limited, and I'm afraid we can't mobilize so many troops." Although Le Wenyuan knew that more troops had been mobilized in the country and were currently training, it was impossible for him to tell the truth in a diplomatic situation Instead, he cried poverty to Robert Peel.

"It turns out that I have no money. This is easy to handle. I will notify the major banks in London later to provide loans to your country. The collateral will be the gold mines in Hanzhou Province of your country..." Robert Peel looked generous. He took the initiative to lend money to Le Wenyuan.

But when hearing these words, Le Wenyuan felt extremely disgusting. What is a mortgage and what is a loan? It's not that he has taken a fancy to the gold mines of Han Dynasty.

"These British guys are really untrustworthy. At the critical moment, they took advantage of the fire to rob their allies!!" Le Wenyuan cursed secretly in his heart.

"I won't bother Mr. Prime Minister with this. If we in Han are short of money, we will go to the financial market to raise money ourselves." Le Wenyuan refused Robert Peel's so-called borrowing money without hesitation.

What an international joke, if he really used gold mines as collateral, even if he got a loan, then he, Le Wenyuan, would be the biggest traitor in the history of Han Dynasty.

"If your country cannot raise the money, the British Empire will help." When Robert Peel heard Le Wenyuan say that he did not want a loan, he couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face, but he still added in the end, which shows how many gold mines there are in Han Dynasty. Tempting, in recent years, many British consortiums have offered to take shares or even develop for free, but they have all been rejected by the Han government.

So at this time, the British used their usual methods to take advantage of the fire! !
It's just that because Han is currently an ally of Britain, the British can only think of financial solutions and dare not be tough.

"Thank you for your kindness..." Le Wenyuan smiled and thanked Robert Peel. On the surface, she was smiling, but in her heart, she didn't know how many times she scolded Britain and the British.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think the United Kingdom should continue to put pressure on the United States diplomatically to force the United States to make concessions." Le Wenyuan finally couldn't hold it anymore and revealed the theme of his visit today.

"As long as the British Empire unites with friendly European countries to impose sanctions on the United States and the U.S. economy is damaged, I believe that the Yankees will retreat." Le Wenyuan suggested that the British use diplomatic means to force Americans to make concessions at the negotiating table. .

"Sanctions..." Hearing Le Wenyuan talk about sanctions, Robert Peel actually understood what the other party was talking about. It was nothing more than giving the Americans the means that the British used to block the French diplomatically.

"Mr. Minister, I think you have misunderstood. The British Empire supports free trade. We cannot arbitrarily cut off the economy of a country and the world. This is an act that violates the rules of the game..." Robert Peel showed in front of Le Wenyuan at this time It's like those businessmen in London who support free trade, except that the businessmen do it for economic interests, while Robert Peel does it for national interests.

In fact, they are all interests, and there is no so-called distinction between high and low.

"Free trade is the national policy of the British Empire and will not waver for 100 years. If we block the Americans, it will be tantamount to destroying ourselves..." Robert Peel directly raised the blockade of the United States to the survival of the United Kingdom. It seemed that as long as the United States was blocked, the British It will be like going bankrupt in terms of credit.

Le Wenyuan was so angry that she almost smashed the old boy's head open with a leather shoe to see if his brain was also black.

"In short, the British Empire will not give up its own national interests." Robert Peel's words also announced that Britain intends to let China and the United States fight to the end. The even darker idea is that Han and the United States will fight until the end of time. , fought until everyone in both countries was dead, and then the British Empire occupied all of America.

This is what the British really think, but they can't say it out loud.

"Goodbye, Mr. Prime Minister..."

"Goodbye, Mr. Minister..."

When Le Wenyuan's carriage left No. [-] Downing Street, the smile on Robert Peel's face disappeared instantly, as if he had never smiled before. "To Buckingham Palace..." Robert Peel called the carriage, and the carriage quickly headed towards Heading towards Buckingham Palace.

…………

In North America, with the breakdown of the third Sino-US secret talks in the French Legation, the arrival of reinforcements from both sides, and the arrival of some new American weapons, the moment that truly determines the fate of America has finally arrived! ! !
