As Wesley's war report played in China, the domestic media began to publicize it loudly, and the American army suffered few casualties in this battle, and the first batch of wounded soldiers returned home and became heroes, and Wesley was a hero among heroes, and he would be seen in the newspapers every day.
An outstanding genius, the owner of the G group, and at the same time the best young general in the army, at the age of twenty-four became a lieutenant general, and many thought that he could become president later.
However, Wesley is very busy now, the second batch of landing troops arrived, Pershing followed, and enthusiastically pulled Wesley to ask him about his battle concept and actual implementation, this is a respectable person, Pershing as a soldier is undoubtedly a successful one, and he also regards Wesley as a successor.
Wesley talked about his Blitzkrieg philosophy, relative speed is more like the theory of relativity, I don't have to be faster than lightning, I just need to be faster than my opponent.
Pershing agreed, not expecting Wesley to use the latest weapons and tactics so well, which brought more orders to Wesley's arsenal, especially mortars and machine guns.
Then the October Revolution broke out in Russia, and the form of Europe changed somewhat, and then the time entered winter.
The countries are busy, everyone is very careful about the current international situation, the red has swept Russia, Russia will launch a war, and the Entente is a little dull about this.
Subsequently, on March 3, 1918, Lenin signed the Treaty of Brest with Germany, announcing his withdrawal from the First World War.
And at this time, Wesley was again supplemented by fifty divisions, twenty heavy artillery brigades and twenty engineer brigades, six marine brigades, and ten cavalry brigades.
With the maximum supply of supplies, he directly launched the spring offensive, and this time he contacted the British and French friendly forces in advance.
Although Germany was prepared, Wesley was now strong, and directly used the Marine Brigade to complete the night armed swimming, followed by a full-scale artillery bombardment, sappers drove hundreds of pontoon bridges, and the soldiers were directly overwhelmed, and Wesley also used British and French fighters to bombard the enemy's rear positions, and the integration of air and ground appeared for the first time, and the coordination of infantry and artillery was in full swing.
Breaking through the German defenses in one fell swoop, the army drove all the way in, and in early April 1918, Germany surrendered, seven months ahead of the parallel universe.
At this point, Wesley became the most famous general in the world, not only because of his achievements, but also because of his age.
After the war, the U.S. military did not take over any part of Germany, which was Wesley's order, and it was directly handed over to Britain and France to manage, and the U.S. troops began to retreat to France, and a grand ceremony was held in Paris, where Wesley rode in a military jeep and wore a lieutenant general's uniform, and was welcomed by the French.
The romantic city seemed to be rejuvenated overnight, with countless people crowding the joints to welcome the triumphant Americans, and the American troops finally had a holiday, albeit with some restrictions on their activities and not allowed to spend the night outside.
Wesley knew very well what American GIs looked like, so from the first day he led the army to lead the troops, he emphasized military discipline, and in a year in Europe, military discipline was the thing he emphasized the most, and where would undisciplined troops have combat effectiveness And Wesley didn't want these soldiers to keep all their salaries in France for a year, and they could control it if they could, and it would be good for them to spend it again when they returned to the United States.
Most of the soldiers here will not be dismissed, the US standing army must be retained, the combat effectiveness embodied in this war has made the Americans sober up a lot, without two years of training, these recruits will not be able to play such a good result, which is also where Wesley's confidence lies.
A month later, the soldiers began to return to the country, they will have a holiday, nearly two million soldiers are almost all of the current strength of the United States, the United States did not launch a wartime system, these people were formed at the beginning, a total of more than 120 divisions, this time a hundred came, and there are many special arms brigades left, mainly heavy artillery and engineers.
Wesley and Pershing stayed in Paris to attend the final peace talks, and President Wilson came to Paris and met with Wesley first, accompanied by Pershing.
"My general, how about you now that you are the hero of this city."
President Wilson said happily.
"It doesn't matter, Mr.
President, it seems to me that this peace will not last long."
Wesley said.
"Oh, tell me what you think."
Wesley nodded, and then said: "First of all, the oppression of Germany by Britain and France must be unprecedented, their hatred is too deep, and at the same time, they are very jealous of the German army, you will feel it at the meeting." ” "Well, that's true, you mean, they're going to be very harsh on Germany."
"Yes, so I suggest that the United States not get too involved in the partition of Germany this time, we have already obtained a lot of benefits in the Pacific Ocean, especially the two islands, the strategic position is very important, and it is very helpful to contain the development of Japan."
"Do you care about that small island nation?"
"You haven't studied their history, they are very willing to learn, they will learn from whichever country is strong, especially Huaxia, they have studied with Huaxia for thousands of years, and now they have the opportunity to teach their teachers.
And now they are studying the British, you believe them, and when they find the opportunity they will teach the current teachers, the British. ” "Oh, I didn't expect you to study them" "It's not a study, I see it when I read a book, I remember it when I feel it's interesting, and Japan's development is completely deformed, and they spare no effort in developing armaments, but they don't build up the country, and in such a situation, once the contradiction breaks out, then they can only choose war."
"Do you think they will invade China?"
"Not now, their military strength is not enough, but they are still developing like this, so we can be friendly to Germany at this peace conference and strive for their friendship, although we defeated Germany, but compared to Britain and France, we will be a good person."
"Yes, good idea, you should be in politics."
Wilson sighed.
"Politics is too tired, I won't get involved, maybe my children will."
Wesley laughed meaningfully.
"Oh, by the way, we need to help Huaxia at the peace conference again, although we don't have much right to speak, but it is necessary to show a friendly attitude, which is convenient for us to invest and sell things in Huaxia, after the war will inevitably be the period of the Great Depression, and it is prone to economic crisis, we must prepare early."
"Understood, your opinion will be considered by the delegation, and there is basically no problem." t1706231537:
