Chapter 338: Citibank Unbinding, Ancient Country Expands Military and Prepares for War
United States, White House.
President Franklin Bradley looked at the telegram sent from the Pacific Fleet Command with a very ugly expression.
Then he threw the telegram heavily on the table and shouted:
"This is simply a disgrace, the greatest disgrace in the 100-year history of the United States."
Senior personal advisor Hopkins picked up the telegram on the ground curiously and began to read it.
The content above surprised him greatly.
"The ancient country is simply crazy. Aren't they afraid of provoking a war?"
Not only did the warships block the gate of Pearl Harbor, but they also sent fighter planes to bomb the Fuso Fleet in the harbor, simply not taking the Pacific Fleet seriously.
"Perhaps we have been silent for too long, and the ancient people think we are easy to bully."
The Minister of the Navy said in a cold tone at this moment.
Hopkins was surprised and said to the president thoughtfully: "President, this may be a good opportunity for us."
"Chance?"
Bradley turned and looked at him in confusion.
“If this matter were known to the public, perhaps the domestic situation would be greatly reversed, and it would be difficult for neutral parties to remain neutral.
We must make all people realize that a war between us and the ancients is inevitable and that this war is imminent.”
Franklin Bradley thought for a moment and nodded. "This is indeed an opportunity, Hopkins. You should do this yourself."
How angry will the American people be when they learn about this?
This can be seen from the more than one million people who took to the streets over the past five days.
Some members of parliament who had always supported neutrality now dare not shout anymore.
Bradley did not miss this opportunity, but took the opportunity to amend the Neutrality Act.
At the same time, he publicly declared that the ancient country was Citigroup's biggest enemy.
This point has also been recognized by many people.
He even gave a nationally televised speech.
The most ironic thing is that most of the televisions in the United States are made in ancient countries.
The ancient country's television brands directly occupy more than 90% of the U.S. television market.
The biggest beneficiary this time is the US military.
Both the navy and the army began to expand their military forces directly. At the same time, the Army Aviation Corps was separated from the Army to establish a third branch of the military - the Air Force.
At this time, a shocking piece of news from Europe quickly spread throughout the world.
The Hans Wehrmacht directly attacked Bireg and the Netherlands, which is the European lowland area.
The first of the three Low Countries to be occupied was Luxembourg, the smallest of them.
Subsequently, the Hans Air Force dispatched at least four airborne divisions to directly land on the front line. In less than a day, they broke through the border defense lines of Bileg and the Netherlands, and large-scale armored forces began to assault.
Hans's purpose in attacking Bileg and the Netherlands is naturally self-evident.
They wanted to bypass the Maginot Line and attack France directly from the lowlands.
Both England and France noticed this.
So they urgently transferred more than 300,000 troops from the Maginot Line to support Bileg and the Netherlands.
But before they arrived, Bileg and Netherlands surrendered one after another.
Faced with Hans's iron torrent, they surrendered one after another before even lasting a week.
The Western European Plain is the best battlefield for the Hans Tank Group.
On the tenth day of the war, they once again broke through the hastily constructed defense line of the French troops.
However, the French and English coalition forces that followed had already built a second line of defense.
At the same time, the French Air Force also blocked the fierce offensive.
The reason for this is the hundreds of FC-86 jet fighters purchased from ancient countries.
Facing the aggressive army of hundreds of thousands led by Hans, it is hard to say how long this line of defense can hold out.
Faced with the situation in Europe, Jiang Hua also studied it carefully.
"Hans's tanks were too big, neither the Panther nor the VT-2 could cross the Ardennes, so they could only break through the Netherlands and Birege from the front.
But this gave the French and English time to react.
But considering Hans's strength, defeating France is only a matter of time."
But for Jiang Hua, it would be best if Hans could be deeply mired in the quagmire of war in France.
Someone also had to drag Hans to the battlefield in Europe.
If Hans was really allowed to escape from the quagmire of war in Europe, Tsarist Russia would be dismembered by them again.
Then Hans will focus his attention on competing for territory with other regions and ancient countries.
For example, the Zhongsha region is a core area that both sides will inevitably fight over.
It is recognized by the world that the Zhongsha region has relatively rich oil resources.
It does not mean that it took until the end of World War II for countries around the world to discover that there was a large amount of oil buried underground in the Zhongsha region.
It’s just that it has been discovered a long time ago, but has not been developed on a large scale.
After all, at that time, the oil produced in other regions was enough for consumption by all countries.
It was not until the end of World War II that the wave of colonial liberation swept the world, coupled with the explosion of automobiles and industry, that the demand for oil began to rise sharply.
As a result, the oil in the Zhongsha region attracted the attention of international capital, and large-scale development began only after money was available.
So Hans also knew that the Zhongsha region had rich oil reserves.
If Hans had defeated France and Tsarist Russia, how could he have watched the Central and Southern regions being occupied by the ancient countries? He would have definitely stepped in to intervene.
Now all we have to do is wait and see whether France can show some strength and drag Hans to the European battlefield.
In recent years, he has secretly strengthened France's anti-tank technology.
For example, the RPG-2 rocket launcher has been sold all over the world, and France naturally has mastered the relevant technology.
In addition, the emergence of main battle tanks also made France begin to pay attention to the development of this new type of tank.
Of course, just one or two new weapons cannot change the situation of the war.
He was also unable to intervene in the changes in the war situation in Europe.
But Hans had already taken action against France, and the ancient country's expansion in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean region and the offensive against Tsarist Russia were also on the agenda.
As long as the problems in these two areas are solved, we can then focus on dealing with Citibank, our biggest enemy.
Fuso-Tsarist Russia, Sino-Tsarist-Citibank, this is Jiang Hua's strategic order.
No matter what, Fuso must be the first to be dealt with.
Although Fuso has not been completely defeated yet, it is only a matter of time.
The Fuso Navy is gone, they are just toothless wolves.
To deal with the enemy Tsarist Russia, the three major military regions, namely the Far Eastern Military Region, the Northern Military Region, and the Northwestern Military Region, will unite.
The Far Eastern Military District is responsible for the Siberian region east of the Ural Mountains.
The Northwest Military Region is responsible for the Zhongzhou region.
As long as the Northwest Military Region takes over the Zhongzhou area, it will be able to border Persia on land, and it will be easy to take over Zhongsha.
"Inform Hans that we will take action in July and have them send troops as soon as possible."
Jiang Hua had no interest in occupying European territory.
As long as the entire Siberia and the five Central Plains countries can be conquered, the territory of the ancient country will be unprecedentedly large.
More land is not necessarily better.
The more land there is, the more foreign populations will have to integrate into the ancient country.
You can't just occupy a place and kill all the locals.
In Jiang Hua's vision, it would be enough to incorporate the five Central Plains countries and the Siberian region into the territory.
The rest just needs to be controlled.
After receiving the secret telegram from the ancient country, Prime Minister Hans Hilt was both happy and worried.
The good news is that the ancient country is finally going to take action against Tsarist Russia, and they are going to join forces to dismember Hans' biggest enemy.
What worries them is that their main forces are now concentrated on the Western Front.
Most of the troops on the eastern front are new recruits who were added in the last year, and their offensive capabilities are limited.
Therefore, he could only transfer some elite troops from the Western Front to supplement the Eastern Front.
At the same time, some troops were transferred from the Eastern Front to reinforce the Western Front to prevent the strength from declining too much.
As the order was issued, Hans' Eastern Front Group began to make intensive preparations for the upcoming war.
"We must conquer Tsarist Russia before winter comes!"
With the ancient country joining them in attacking Tsarist Russia, he thought it was very safe to defeat Tsarist Russia within three months.
This is both confidence in one's own strength and trust in the strength of the ancient country.
While Hans was making intensive preparations for war, the Far Eastern Military Region, the Northern Military Region, and the Northwestern Military Region also entered a level one combat readiness state.
All personnel's leave will be cancelled and all retired personnel will return to the army for retraining.
In addition, the Military and Political Committee decided to expand the army's strength by five main army groups.
It is expected that the number of troops will be increased by about 40.
The number of army groups also reached 18.
Among these five group armies, three were joined to the Far East Military Region and the Northwest Military Region.
The remaining two were reinforced to the Southwest Military Region.
Because the Southwest Military Region is mainly responsible for the strategic directions of Baixiang and Zhongsha.
Major domestic military industrial enterprises have begun to accelerate the expansion of production capacity.
Some civilian enterprises have even begun to switch to military production.
It was at this time that the people in the country truly felt the coming of war.
Fortunately, there is no control over various supplies, so the impact on life is not that great.
If all kinds of materials must be purchased with receipts and are in limited supply, it means that the ancient country has entered a state of total mobilization for war.
However, if we are only dealing with Tsarist Russia, there is no need to carry out a total war mobilization.
Hans and Guguo's move was so big that it was impossible for no news to leak out no matter how hard they tried to hide it.
Both Citibank and England have begun to warn the Tsarist Russian intelligence department.
There are a lot of signs that Hans and the ancient country will join forces to attack Tsarist Russia.
Tsar Nicholas III also realized the seriousness of the situation and began to prepare for war. A large number of troops began to be transferred to the eastern and western fronts.
A war that will sweep across the two continents of East Asia and Europe is about to break out.
