"Mr.
President," Roosevelt's senior officials exclaimed, and they all stepped forward to support his body.Roosevelt waved his hand, sat down again at his desk, and drank some medicine for a long time before calming down."
General Pershing, do you have any countermeasures in the Ministry of Defense?"
Roosevelt asked with a tired face, gray hair already growing on his head.He would never have thought that the Huaxing Army would come to this and choose to land in New York, north of Washington.They had concluded in advance from intelligence from all quarters that the Huaxing Army would definitely land in Washington.To this end, Washington has gathered 500,000 troops on all sides.The city has been processed on a considerable scale, and the trenches are connected to the city buildings, which can be said to be as strong as a fortress.But he didn't wait for the Huaxing Army, but waited for the news of their landing in New York, which really made Roosevelt half angry."
Mr.
President, we have discussed and there are two ways to deal with it.One is to dispatch troops from all sides, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Huaxing army to quickly annihilate them.One is to take the initiative to withdraw troops from New York, exchange depth for time, and gradually consume the power of the Huaxing army.When they are at their weakest, they will launch a full-scale counterattack" Pershing took out another report, which was a detailed countermeasure that he had discussed with his high-ranking generals.The first strategy is relatively radical and does not have much support from the Ministry of Defense.The second strategy is relatively conservative, but it is currently the safest strategy for the United States.The Huaxing army is thriving, almost invincible.The strength of the million-strong army is even more beyond imagination.The United States is now facing its edge, and it is another battle of self-destruction.Moreover, the United States now has no air and sea supremacy, and its operations are completely exposed under the nose of the Huaxing Army, and its supply and logistics are also seriously threatened.No matter what aspect is considered, it is not suitable to take the initiative to attack the Huaxing army.Roosevelt looked at the report of the Department of Defense for a long time, and he actually preferred the second sound strategy, but the reality did not allow him to make such a choice.The U.S. election is approaching, his government has been defeated one after another, and his approval rating has long fallen to its lowest point.Now that the Huaxing army has come to the door, if he doesn't resist and continues to retreat, the general election will definitely continue.He didn't have anything, he was afraid that a cowardly president would come up and sell the interests of the United States to Huaxingjun.Like the puppet government of Britain or France, the United States will not be able to raise its head at all.This judgment is very difficult, and he has been thinking about this since the Huaxing Army bombed the mainland of the United States.Now that I am really facing it, it is really not easy to make this decision."
General Pershing, the second scenario you mentioned, what if the Huaxing Army does not attack inland for a long time, but is only stationed in New York, can we keep avoiding the war and let the Huaxing Army occupy New York in vain?"
Roosevelt frowned and put forward his opinion, which the Department of Defense had certainly considered.Pershing quickly replied, "Mr.
President, we will blockade the Huaxing Army."
The Huaxing army needs to eat and drink, and the logistics supply will definitely not be able to support their long-term stationing.The daily consumption of a million armies is staggering, and relying only on their transportation from the sea will quickly deplete their national strength.Moreover, our naval ships are also being built, and once the time comes, we will regain sea supremacy.The Huaxing army is alone in the depths, and even if they want to withdraw, they can only jump into the sea" Pershing said that it is indeed good, the logistics supply of the million-strong army is indeed amazing, and every time it is a huge number.If we only rely on the way of replenishment at sea, this kind of consumption is indeed not suitable for fighting a protracted war.The high-level leaders of Huaxingjun naturally considered this, but Pershing did not know about these considerations.According to his understanding, this is indeed the case now, and it will develop in the way he expected.Roosevelt thought about it and had to admire Pershing's judgment.This is indeed their chance of winning, but other than that, the advantage is slim.But in order to ensure that he can be re-elected next term, he also had to make the opposite decision.In Pershing's astonished eyes, the first option was chosen.He didn't explain much about this, but just hoped that Ping Pershing would do the same.Pershing sighed, took the military newspaper and left the provisional presidential palace in a daze, and immediately sent it to the troops to begin preparing for a counterattack.After he left, Roosevelt sat at his desk for a long time and was speechless, sighing quietly, "If a million sacrifices can be exchanged for the fighting spirit of the American people, it is worthy of our ancestors." ”In the port of New York, after the Huaxing Army landed, after a week's rest, it has been completely adjusted.According to the book of war, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual.This was fully demonstrated in this landing operation, and before the landing, even the top and bottom of the Huaxing Army thought that they would land in Washington.For the sake of secrecy, before the start of the war, only the high-ranking generals of the army knew the destination.Washington is located in an inland waterway zone, which is not suitable for large-scale landing operations.By all accounts, it's not the best place to land.The occupation of Washington by the Huaxing Army, except for symbolic significance, actually did not benefit at all.With that in mind, New York is a good choice.Not only is it an excellent seaport, but it is also the economic center of the United States, and its status is no worse than that of Washington.When the soldiers landed, they looked up at the 93-meter-high statue of Lady Liberty on the harbor, and they all grew their mouths in surprise.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States to commemorate the union between the United States and France during the American Revolutionary War, designed and made in Paris by the famous French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi.The statue took more than 10 years to complete, and was unveiled in New York by then-US President Cleveland.The Statue of Liberty is 46 meters high, 93 meters plus pedestal, weighs 225 tons, is cast in metal and rests on a concrete pedestal.In the indiscriminate bombardment of the port by the Huaxing army, the Statue of Liberty was miraculously preserved, but the whole body was blackened by gunsmoke.Before coming to the United States, the soldiers also studied the famous scenery of various parts of the United States, among which the Statue of Liberty was naturally mentioned the most.Only in this era did you know that you had come to New York, and it had nothing to do with Washington.The soldiers below are still talking about whether to blow up this statue, symbolizing the conquest of this place by the Huaxing army.After this proposal was reported to the high-level, Zhang Derivation and Yang Jin scolded them angrily, shouting that these losers were really extravagant, and strictly ordered all armies not to destroy any buildings except people.The others didn't know the high-level plan, and the Huaxing army didn't come to New York to loot and leave, but to stay here for a long time.Everything in New York City will become an asset to future generations.The Statue of Liberty is not only a symbol of New York, but also a practical symbol of lightstand.Only if the head is convulsed, will such a loser consider this matter
