After Fredericksburg was breached, the first obstacle to the southward movement of Xinjing City was completely cleared.Richmond, the capital of Virginia, was also under the guns of the Huaxing Army, and these days the two sides have arranged their own troops, and more than two million troops have gathered on all sides of Richmond.As a key transportation point to communicate the north and the south, once this place is lost, the Huaxing army will go south unimpeded.During the American Civil War, it was also an important place for soldiers and horses to compete with each other.The Huaxing Army attaches great importance to this area, and in addition to dispatching the army, it also dispatches the air force and navy to assist.All the major cities in the world are built along rivers to ensure sufficient water for living and production.The same is true of Richmond, where the James River runs from east to west from the city center and stretches for more than 160 kilometers into the sea.The Huaxing Army dispatched hundreds of frigates of up and down 1,000 tons to block the river at the beginning of the war, directly dividing Richmond into north and south.U.S. forces in Richmond also dispatched a large number of small ships to regain control of the James River.As a result, it was like an egg hitting a stone, and as soon as it met the ships of the Huaxing Army, they were soon bombed into slag.An inland river ship, a naval frigate, the two sides are not of the same class in the first place.The U.S. military is also in a hurry, and without the right to control the river, the entire defense line will be torn apart.More importantly, the hundred ships of the Huaxing Army were all equipped with advanced artillery, and the entire city was undoubtedly exposed to the guns of the Huaxing Army.The battle was commanded by U.S.
General George Dewey, a veteran general over 70 years old who had made great contributions in the Battle of the United States and Spain, and was awarded the title of special general.Because the Battle of Richmond was about the entire Southeastern states, the fact that the Department of Defense had him in charge of it was enough to show how seriously it took the battle.You know, there are not a few special generals left in the United States at the moment.The old guy was already retired, but he was temporarily redeployed to take on such a heavy responsibility.George Dewey is not having a good time now, the Huaxing army is overwhelmed, especially the naval ships are aggressive.The old guy was already covered with wrinkles, but now he has two more.News of the fall of Fredericksburg soon came, and the staff officer handed the military report to George Dewey, who told him in a deep voice.The old guy took a look at the military newspaper, then frowned and sighed, "This kid is just disobedient, it's a pity."
If he polishes it a little, he will definitely become a pillar of the United States" "Old general, Colonel Nimitz died a heroic death, and the United States will not forget him" The staff officer comforted him, knowing that he had a great friendship with Nimitz.Both of them were born as admirals, but now the navy has been completely defeated, and he can only command the army to resist."
This time the yellow race has made up their minds to put down roots in the United States, which is more dangerous than the usual wars.This battle is related to the national fortune of our country, and if you win, you will survive, and if you lose, you will die.You publicized Nimitz's deeds in the army, so that everyone was ready to sacrifice their lives for the country.This war is not only for the sake of the country, but also for ourselves," George Dewey closed the military newspaper, exhorted the staff officer, and then asked all the generals to come over to discuss the military situation.At present, the Huaxing army is approaching, and the situation is extremely dangerous.George Dewey, as a veteran, already felt a slight crisis in his heart.He has already conducted an in-depth investigation into the weapons and equipment of the Huaxing Army.Under the current equipment conditions of the American army, Richmond is not a suitable place to defend.The city is flat, and there is only one large river that can be used as a natural hazard.But because there is no right to control the river, even this advantage has been lost.After the military conference began, George Dewey introduced these disadvantages to the generals one by one.All the generals looked at the map of Richmond and whispered to each other, looking at the map of Richmond."
Old general, IMHO.At present, our strategic focus is on the high mountains and hills in the west, and we are building border fortresses to prevent the Huaxing Army from advancing westward.The eastern coastal states don't want it, and there is no need to put the main forces here to work hard. ”Some generals bluntly expressed their opinions, were very pessimistic about the current situation, and could not think of any way to stop the Huaxing army."
Yes, old general.When the Huaxing army attacked, it completely relied on the ironclad chariots to charge, and the air force provided fire support, and our trenches could not be stopped at all" "At present, only hilly areas can stop the Huaxing army, to put it mildly.If we have no way to destroy the ironclad chariots of the Huaxing Army, we will not be able to stop them from charging at all by using the trench defense system alone"""The generals, you and I have to speak one after another, and they all advocate abandoning the northeastern coastal states and immediately defending the western hilly areas.In this way, the superiority of the Huaxing Army's navy, ironclad chariots, and air force will not be so obvious, relying on this mountain range that runs through the north and south of the United States, it is enough to resist the westward advance of the Huaxing Army, and then delay time to create its own aircraft and ironclad chariots.George Dewey listened to the generals' opinions, asked people to look around the headquarters, and then said seriously, "The president you said has everything in mind, and the original president also meant this, preparing to fight a protracted war with the Huaxing army, so as to make time to build our planes and ironclad chariots."
However, Huaxingjun does not give us this time at the moment, so it is all up to us to fight for it here.After secret negotiations with Germany, the President has purchased hundreds of ironclad chariots from Germany.It won't be long before it arrives here.Therefore, everyone must persevere.If anyone retreats without permission, they will be dealt with in accordance with military law."
"Germany" and "ironclad chariots" "The generals were all amazed when they heard the news.Not long ago, Germany declared war on the United States together with New China at the United Nations, and now I don't know why it stands with them.But this is not something they worry about, there are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests.After so many years of war, the United States and New China have long become a sweet spot in the eyes of global arms dealers.While the Huaxing Army closely monitored the coastline, there were still European countries that were sending arms to the United States.At the beginning of New China, because of the alliance, it was difficult to say much.Now this situation is getting more and more serious, and New China directly issued a statement.If any country dares to send arms to the United States again, it will mean declaring war on New China.New China will impose a maritime ban on U.S. waters, regardless of which country's cargo ships.If it is discovered without permission, it will be blown up as soon as it is discovered, and after the military conference is over, the generals will also know their role, which is nothing more than exchanging their lives for time to buy time for the development of the military industry in the interior.Although it is a bit cannon fodder, but the national crisis is at the head, and only in this way can there be hope of victory
