The sun never sets in America

Chapter 449 Armored Division and the Beginning of Negotiations
"Boom!!"

The muddy tracks broke into a position full of bullet casings and mud. Below the position were American troops who tried to fire back, but were eventually fired into "bloody holes" by machine guns above.

The blood mixed with green and the twitching body gave people a "zombie siege" feeling.

Sitting in the cockpit, Zhang Yuhang, wearing a square soft sheepskin helmet, used the periscope leading to the outside to control the steering column and the fourth gear in his hand.

But such an ordinary control method, with only four gears of forward, backward and starting acceleration, has become the biggest killer in the entire Chicago battlefield.

If in urban warfare, the immature Lion III tanks are still vulnerable to ambushes, then in the siege battles outside Chicago, especially in the trenches that the Americans spent a lot of time building, they are simply a group. When a wolf kills a flock of sheep, it is a direct killing spree and enters "buffet time".

"Boom boom boom!!!"

In the sky, bombs continued to fall, each of which was twice as powerful as before.

This is not an improvement in Han's bomb technology, it is simply a reduction in the number of bombs and an increase in the explosive power and coverage of the bombs.

The early airship bomb was rated at twenty kilograms. Later, it was found that twenty kilograms was not enough and the power was too small. It was upgraded to five kilograms to the twenty-five kilogram level.

This is the current situation in the United States. People who want to surrender dare not speak out loudly due to Lincoln, those "war factions" and even the calls of the revengeful people. But as the war becomes more and more failed, they even Sensing an opportunity at the end of the war.

“American Pig!!”

You must know that since the end of the Youzhou War, there has been a craze about "going home" throughout the United States.

"We can't just sit idly by and continue to discuss how to deal with the Han army and how to deal with that damn lion. The most important thing now is negotiation, which is to bring the Han people to the negotiating table, no matter how much it costs! !”

This war, perhaps as some "peace-minded members" said, should have been peace talks from the beginning. At that time, part of the benefits should be appropriately given up in the peace talks. Maybe the Han people would agree, and they could continue to live like their masters. Why should we be as worried as we are now?

Secretary of State Kohler looked at Lincoln who was lying there, his face struggled for a few times, and finally he stood up and said:
"Mr. President, I think the only way we can do now is to negotiate with the Han people and strive for the final peace!!"

What really widened the gap and caught the eye were the nine lion chariots at the front. Their huge bodies, thick and long artillery, and the power they just showed on the battlefield all made the American prisoners behind them intimidated. Some people called The "resistance mentality" gradually faded with this scene. After all, they knew what it felt like when they were just crushed. This was simply a confrontation between flesh and blood. In some people's minds, the Han army was invincible. The idea has been completely engraved in their minds. Even when they grow old, they will never forget today and what they experienced on July 2nd.

And when it was all over, only nine mud-covered chariots stood tall against the setting sun. Under the red light of the setting sun, the lions on the vehicles continued to emerge, and finally it seemed as if they were really resurrected.

But nowadays, with the Americans attaching great importance to air defense and the emergence of a large number of bunkers, bombs of this level actually have less and less space to exert their power.

"roll--"

When everyone in the White House heard this, their expressions were shocked, and then they fell silent again, because the risk of this matter was too high for them. If they did it well, they would be the savior of the United States. If they did it badly, they would be the savior of the United States. He is the "sinner" of America and the real traitor! !

In fact, not only Lincoln, but also many people in the United States felt despair from head to toe when they learned that the Han army had another weapon more terrifying than the airship.

Lincoln, who stood up from the chair and sat up straight, looked at Kohler, who was on his left and third from the bottom, and said with a complicated expression:
"Kohler, how can you be sure that those Han Chinese guys will negotiate with us? After all, at this time, they have the absolute upper hand!!"

In the White House, Lincoln's roar continued to reverberate in everyone's brains. If they originally saw Lincoln as a thin but charismatic leader, then in their hearts, Lincoln is now a leader. Children who are about to lose everything and are about to face huge debts and bankruptcy.

If those successive defeats were the starting point of the division of the United States, then the airship and the Lion Chariot were the hands that pushed the United States to the cliff.

"Damn it, who can tell me why that guy named Lion appeared on the battlefield and why did he appear in Chicago??"

Increasing the unit explosion energy consumption has become an inevitable choice. The advantage is that it has doubled from 25 kilograms to 50 kilograms. The disadvantage is that it can only carry four bombs from the original eight bombs.

Lincoln's roar was like the last unwilling roar of an old engine, allowing everyone in the White House to hear his inner pain and unwillingness.

Kohler took it upon himself to say most of what he wanted to say.

"God, this is simply a joke. Our weapons will always be more than one era behind theirs, as if they are an industrial country and we are still an agricultural country!!"

"They can keep fighting until they completely eliminate us!!"

The sergeant looked at the figure with obvious gray footprints on his butt in front of him, muttered, and then continued his work as a "shepherd".

"Get out of here, American pig!!"

Even at its peak, the return ticket to Europe was eight times longer! !

It can be seen from this that the United States of America at this time is actually unable to fight from top to bottom. It can even be said that as long as the conditions of the Han State are not too excessive and the United States can reach a suitable level, some people will take the lead and Lincoln continued, and finally reached a "traitorous treaty" with Han. He left in the morning, the treaty was signed in the afternoon, and the war ended on the same day.

"Boom boom", heavy rains of thunder and lightning continued to fall in the sky, and the ground showed a "broken" and "white smoke" feeling, while seven or eight black-painted vehicles appeared on the ground not far away. , a chariot depicting a proud lion.

Under this glory, there were groups of American prisoners who were driven out of the trenches. These prisoners still had obvious bruises on their faces. When they saw the nine Lion chariots, they obviously turned backwards. He shrank back, his already frightened eyes became even more panicked.

"What about you, didn't you hear me??"

All this is just because of a war, a war that has been going on for more than half a year. In this war, the continuous fighting not only blunted Lincoln's originally "motivated" fighting spirit, but also blunted the fighting spirit of all Americans. will.

The entire team was one kilometer long. The team was divided into two sides. On one side were the prisoners who were being driven away, and on the other were Han soldiers carrying guns and making jokes. They looked similar to any other prisoner team in the past. They were just the people being escorted this time. It's just more.

If the ground attack alone is just a monotonous and boring "grinding battle", then with the addition of airship bombing, it becomes a tornado on the battlefield that sweeps everyone away.

Twenty-five kilograms of bombs falling from the sky are actually at home in most battlefields, especially those places with no defense capabilities at the top. It can be described as "sweeping".

"Fake!!"

Screams, shouts, machine gun fire, and huge "crushing sounds" are constantly rushing towards the bottom line of mankind.

The fiery sergeant went up and kicked the American second lieutenant to the ground. The second lieutenant on the ground showed indignation in his eyes, but he quickly got up obediently and followed up with the large troops in front.

The tornado was so big that even deep in the trenches and deep in the bunker, the defenders could only watch those huge "black demons" crushing their bodies and finally crushing them into minced meat.

Lincoln cursed one last time, and then slumped down on the cowhide seat.

Lincoln's idea is actually the idea of ​​most of the warring factions. If Han Dynasty is a tiger, then the United States is an elephant that is forced into a cliff, covered with scars and with broken tusks. As long as it takes one more step forward, The elephant will fall off the cliff uncontrollably. Then the tiger will just eat the elephant's carcass, so why bother negotiating with the elephant?

As the sun set, the prisoners and the arrogant Han soldiers beside them showed a sharp contrast, and at the forefront of them were nine black "behemoths". When the behemoth opened its long elephant When the nose is exposed, it will become its "hunting ground".

In the process of being driven away, the "civilized" persuasion is naturally indispensable.

.............................................

Even the Americans themselves believe that if their status is reversed at this time, they will not let the Han go, just like they have never let the Indians go. These are the most basic laws of the jungle, which have played out countless times in history. All in all, no winner will negotiate a worthless negotiation for the so-called "peace" when victory is within easy reach, or sign a treaty that does not benefit the powerful at all, just for the so-called "reputation". ".

Not only will the Han people not understand this, but even the Americans themselves will not understand it.

The entire United States is like a giant ship that is always trying to pull over for repairs. Unfortunately, it faces countless storms and never-ending loopholes.

"Mr. President, yes, they can continue fighting until they reach here, but at what cost?" "How many people do they need to die to conquer a big city like Washington and New York?"

"For the Han people, it doesn't matter whether we surrender or negotiate. What matters is that they need to end this war!!"

Kohler's words were like opening a window for everyone, causing many of the militants who were considering the negotiations to be a little shaken.

Kohler looked around and then continued: "In this war, we spent astronomical amounts of dollars, supplies, and even millions of lives. The Han people on the opposite side seemed to be the victors, but this is not It means that they will not consume anything. On the contrary, as the attacker, Han will only consume more than us, not less!”

“The more they consume and the longer they last, the stronger their domestic opposition will be!!”

“For us, we just have to let this sound out!!”

Although Kohler made it clear, everyone present knew that if they wanted to be released, the United States would have to make concessions at the negotiating table first.

But can they give in now? ?
Even if they want to give in, where can they give it? ?
If these issues are not resolved, the so-called negotiations will not be able to solve them at all. Instead, the two issues of negotiation and main war will turn the entire country into a mess. By then, there will be no need for the Han people to fight, and they will have a civil war themselves.

No, it's already a civil war! !

“Where is our bottom line, and where is America’s bottom line??”

When everyone, including Kohler, was silent, Lincoln took the initiative to say something that made everyone change their expressions, and then remained silent again. Obviously, they could discuss war issues and even "surrender", but let them When it comes to ceding interests, once you do it, you can turn against them later and use them as a scapegoat. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

At that time, it will not only quell public complaints, but also provide a simple explanation of history. Whoever stands up at this time will be no less than committing suicide in today's American public opinion atmosphere! !
Lincoln felt the silence around him. The feeling of rapid breathing in the silence made him truly feel what "failure" was. Failure was not only a failure on the battlefield, but also a failure in the human heart! !
Lincoln finally had no choice but to speak:
"Everyone, negotiation is possible, but there must be a bottom line. Our biggest bottom line is to maintain the independence and dignity of the United States of America..."

As soon as Lincoln said this, the people around him were constantly thinking about the meaning of this sentence. Some of the smart people had already seen Lincoln's intention.

From the time when he only wanted "dignity and independence," these people knew what the president was thinking.

“I’ll leave the negotiation to you, we must do it well!!”

Seeing that he was running out of words faster and faster, Lincoln finally had no choice but to clarify his words.

While the people around him were still thinking, Kohler had already stood up and echoed:
"Mr. President, I need certain permissions!!"

Looking at Kohler's sincere eyes, Lincoln's expression improved a lot, but soon he became worried again and answered:

"Kohler, how much authority do you want?"

"All, almost all diplomatic rights!!"

"Including war!!"

Kohler's two sentences completely livened up the conference room that had been silent just now. Everyone was "quietly" discussing how to end the war more cost-effectively.

In fact, the so-called end is translated as "surrender", but the word negotiation was added for the last bit of face.

"Kohler..." Lincoln read Kohler's name, and finally said nothing, just patted the other person on the shoulder.

It seemed that he didn't say anything, but in fact he said everything. Kohler, who was opposite, looked at Lincoln's desolate back, and his whole person fell into a kind of "sadness".

The other people around looked at the scene in front of them and said nothing, as if they really couldn't understand the meaning.

…………

"Your Majesty's amazing shot!!"

When Liu Peng put away his gun on horseback, there were cheers all around.

Liu Peng looked around, ignoring the so-called "conventions", but continued to raise his gun, aiming at a sika deer that was raised here.

(The Han Dynasty introduced Shenzhou varieties, mainly used to produce velvet antler, deer blood, venison and other products)

"Bang!!", gunshots rang out in this vast royal garden, and a strong stag with ferocious horns fell to the ground.

Looking at the squirming and trembling stag not far away, Liu Peng waved his hand slightly, and someone pulled it away.

"Your Majesty, this is the telegram just sent by the cabinet!!"

Taking the encrypted message from the attendant, Liu Peng opened it and read it for a while before speaking directly:
"Call Hu Xiang over!!"

After saying that, he got on the carriage and went back to the palace. When the dragon carriage started, a long team of thousands of people followed behind him. These were all people who protected him.

"His Majesty……"

Hu Junding, who was standing opposite, wanted to kneel down, but was quickly stopped by Liu Peng. In the end, he could only stand there with his hands folded and placed underneath. He looked much more humble than ordinary officials.

Liu Peng, who was opposite, glanced at Hu Junding standing in front of him casually, and then said:
"The report just came from the cabinet said that the Americans intend to surrender??"

"But there is such a thing!!"

When Hu Junding said this, he looked confident.

"Do you think we should let the war end now??"

When Hu Junding heard such a seemingly simple question, he was even more anxious than before. After all, if he wanted to be suitable, then once he was not satisfied with the negotiation, or because the negotiation delayed the current war, or even was manipulated by the other party, he said at this time If so, there will be trouble in the future.

To say it is inappropriate, the war has now reached this level, so many people have died, and billions of dollars have been spent. The opportunity is right in front of us when the war is over. If we don’t fight for it, it will also be a failure, and it will even increase the number of Han people. The country's losses and attrition in the war.

"Your Majesty, I think we should talk!!"

After thinking for a long time, Hu Junding finally chose to negotiate.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's talk, but there's one thing we want the Americans to know. Don't think that negotiation means a truce!!"

"Tell Chicago to win the war before the end of this month!!"

When Liu Peng was giving orders, his eyebrows were raised and he looked as if he was twenty years younger.

Hu Junding, who was on the opposite side, was about to plead guilty and leave when he heard a sentence coming from behind him:
“When you talk, you have to talk like you’re talking, talk in a grand manner, don’t be stingy, and let the whole world know about it!!”

When Hu Junding heard this, his legs and feet faltered, and then he walked out of the hall with his feet raised.
