Chapter 1042 Move the capital

Looking at the silence and bleak forest in front of me, only the cold wind whistling through the valley, General Fred C-Arsworth's heart burst into tears, in his eyes; as if every bush was hiding from behind, a short Fusso soldier would suddenly come out with a sharp bayonet, fierce and fearless.

It's really damn, these small books that kill thousands of swords.

Admiral Fred C-Arsworth shook his head with a headache. These poor and fierce Fusang soldiers became the curse of America. They crossed the Colorado Plateau defense line and in fact they had already posed a serious threat to the Central Plains.

The Second US-Japan War broke out

The Fusan people avoided the strong front line of defense and detoured from southern Mexico, caught the Americans off guard. Only the Ocean Empire came forward to condemn them without any pain, and European countries had almost no expression.

The Allies were collectively silent, and London defined it as "a border conflict that broke out at an inappropriate time". France, Russia and other countries were unwilling to be swept by the Fuso people to join the North American war and also recognized the definition of London.

This is a border conflict, which is really a pity.

Around the world

Only the German Empire William II expressed extreme indignation and denounced it; "The British lackeys, Fusan, brazenly provoked a new war in North America, blatantly trampled on international norms, and seriously violated the sovereignty of Mexico. This is a new crime committed by the Allies. Allied countries are on the side of innocent and beautiful strong people. Support the United States' just war against aggression."

After the German boss made his speech, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Bulgarian Kingdom all expressed their formal positions in support of the Just War of the United States.

The problem is: the Americans dare not accept the olive branches of the Allies.

After running for re-election, the Davin Porter administration of the United States only expressed his gratitude on private diplomatic occasions and thanked the allies for supporting the United States' just struggle.

Among the industrial cities in the central and eastern United States, Americans, whose local German communities are the mainstream believe;

In order to truly realize the independence, sovereignty and integrity of the country and break the old order blockade internationally led by Britain, France and other countries, the United States should join the allies to start a war in Fuso and expel the invaders.

A few radical remarks even stated that war compensation should be refused, the United States should be fully armed, overthrew the largest mafia-handed Ocean Empire that suppressed the United States, and regained its former glory.

This kind of remarks represents the dreams of many American upper-class political elites, including the views of General Fred C-Arsworth and a considerable number of senior management of the government.

But they can only think about it, they dare not say it.

Privately

President Davin Porter once said to General Fred C-Arsworth in distress, "There is an invisible and intangible undercurrent in the world that pushes the United States into the arms of the Allies, and this is what we are bothering and vigilant. We have enough troubles to mix with the muddy waters of Europe."

"The war has caused the country to be full of holes. In the face of bad examples such as Texas and California, separatist forces in the southern states are particularly rampant. Maintaining the current unity and integrity of the country is the most important task of this federal government."

well……

With a gentle sigh, General Fred C-Arsworth turned around and left the front line command, his figure seemed a little bleak.

In the tide of the times, he was just an insignificant pawn. All he could do was sit in the rear, suppress any compromise and surrender remarks, and then send the young American young man to a battlefield like a bottomless pit.

The troops he could use were less than 50,000, which was one-third of the original total troops.

During the first phase of the 58-day defensive operation, the 150,000 US troops in the Gallup Fortress area performed very well, killing 33,700 Japanese troops and injuring 81,100. Although the depth of dozens of square kilometers in Milan and surrounding towns was lost, the crucial Gallup Fortress was preserved, which severely hit the Japanese arrogance and won the victory of the Battle of Gallup.

In this battle, the US military suffered 26,300 people and injured 45,500 people. The total casualties totaled 71,800, nearly half of which, and it also reached the level of injury.

The second phase of the battle lasted for more than a month. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the peripheral positions were continuously lost, with more than 28,000 casualties and nearly 20,000 captured. A large area of ​​positions were lost and forced to retreat to the last core position.

It can be clearly seen that the US military's defense has weakened rapidly.

During the second phase of the battle, more than 8,700 American troops were killed, but the total loss of nearly 50,000 troops was close to 50,000. Many American troops surrendered after a little resistance and obediently walked into the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.

In more than three months since the war, more than 17,000 people have returned to the team due to injury.

This made the number of troops in General Fred C-Arsworth's hands barely reach more than 50,000, and there were more than 30,000 wounded and sick. It was really a full-stricken soldier, which became a heavy burden.

When it came to the hands of the Fusang people, how many of these wounded soldiers could survive until after the war?

Admiral Fred C-Arsworth dared not think about such a heavy problem. The Fusso people could not even care about their own wounded and sick people. How could they use precious medicines and medical resources to American prisoners?

The next day at dawn

199 Japanese commandos wearing white cloaks appeared on the hillside of the 553 Highland, just over ten minutes, and they broke through the barrier of the US military guards, caught off guard, and killed the artillery positions on the top of the mountain like a whirlwind.

Then there were constant gunfire and explosions coming from the top of the mountain, and the sound of gunfire was heard clearly across the valley, which could be heard clearly within ten kilometers. It lasted intermittently for half an hour. Finally, a piece of ammunition resounding throughout the world exploded. The explosion caused the earth to shake the mountain and the fire to soar into the sky.

After the artillery position on the top of the mountain was attacked, the US commander immediately reacted and in a furious manner, he drew infantry troops to fight back to the top of the mountain, trying to rush to the top of the mountain to destroy the enemy.

At this time, the artillery guards that found the Japanese raid suddenly opened fire violently. Three 14.5mm heavy machine gun positions poured out crazy firepower, and the interwoven dense rain of bullets shot down from a high point. In less than three minutes, the assaulted US troops had already beaten the storm and corpses were everywhere, retreating in a mess.

These Japanese troops fought a frustrated battle for half a year, and this time they finally could be proud and use dense rain of bullets to kill the US military. They screamed excitedly.

Not many times

Three red balloons rose slowly from the top of the mountain, representing the complete destruction of the two artillery camp positions on the top of the mountain and the successful completion of the mission.

These 199 Japanese warriors who assaulted the top of the mountain did not think that they could come back alive since the day they accepted the mission. They could complete the mission and open a victory channel for the attacking army. They just look forward to meeting in the shrine one day!

When three red balloons rose slowly, cheers came from the Japanese positions; "Plate planting, plate planting, the imperial army is mighty." Cheers spread among the valleys, echoing, moving the mountains and rivers, and the enemy was terrified.

Marshal Oyama Iwa's eyes couldn't help but wet in this warm atmosphere, and he murmured, "The Yamato warriors led by Watanabe Jun wrote a miracle in the history of modern warfare. After the war, Marshal will personally send their heroic spirits back to the local shrine to enjoy the sacrifices of the people, and the incense will continue. Now I order; open fire."

"Mr. Marshal ordered; open fire."

The staff officers in the command center shouted wildly with the phone holding the phone, quickly conveying the order to various artillery positions scattered in the dense forests. In an instant, artillery fires burst into pieces, pouring countless artillery shells towards the opposite US positions, and the explosions of fires soared into the sky and earth and rocks splashed.

The cruel battle kicked off again.

...

More than ten days later

April 8

It was the time when the grass was growing and the birds were flying and the sun was shining. Li Fushou led a large group of people to ride horses to survey the terrain in Canberra. The breather was filled with the fragrant air of grass and soil in the mountains, and he was in a particularly cheerful mood.

"Ali, you see, there are mountains, waters and large plains here. The environment is so good, the natural climate is comfortable and pleasant, and the geographical location is also moderate. It is conducive to the re-layout of the national economic map and changing the situation where the north is heavy and the south is light. I am going to divide all 7,500 square kilometers of nearby areas into the new capital area. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise. The population of the Red River Valley metropolitan area is now 7.27 million, and the neighboring Brisbane also has 1.66 million. The increasingly dense urban population does bring huge development pressure. The empire's territory is vast enough that there is no need to squeeze in one place."

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, the Red River Valley metropolitan area is no longer enough to carry more population. The resources of the entire empire are all gathered in a small place. How can it last long?"

Li Fushou looked at the endless green plain in front of him, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face. The Morangelo River, which was like green agate, ran across the city of Canberra and flowed westward into the Malanbiji River. The river water was clear and clear.

Looking west, the green mountains at the end of the sight are the foothills of the Cosiasco Mountains, a large area of ​​valleys among the environmentalists’ mountains. There are more than 60 rivers and streams originating from the Cosiasco Mountains, and winding through large green plains. This is the most plump shepherd land.

When we first divided the noble fiefs and meritorious fields, we deliberately avoided this vast area in order to move the capital here one day. Now the time is ripe.

The proposal to move the capital did not begin today. More than ten years ago, Congress proposed a proposal to move the capital. There were many discussions between the government and the opposition. Some of them agreed and some of them opposed it. It has been debated over this point of view and endless debate, which is also one of the hot topics of social discussion in recent years.

over time

Living in Chang'an, the feeling of being a big but not easy is widely recognized by society. Living in the bustling Red River Valley metropolis, the housing prices are high, the living costs are high, the traffic is congested and the rent is expensive. Although many subways and elevated rings have been built, there are still congestion often.

Various metropolitan diseases are gradually revealed. This world-class metropolis that makes people love and hate can take three hours to walk from east to west, which is really too big.

Canberra has obvious geographical advantages. It is a small city with a population of more than 170,000 people. It has a mild climate, distinct four seasons, an average annual rainfall, and sunny days all year round. There are beautiful scenery with mountains and waters.

Located in the Great Valley Plain, 238 kilometers north of Sydney and 507 kilometers south of Melbourne, the coastal railway crosses the city center, the Ao Highway, and the railway crosses the foothills of the Cosiasco to the west through the inland semi-arid grassland terrain and reaches Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.

This place is far enough away from the northern cities of Sydney, Beilun, and southern cities of Melbourne. It has a broad development depth. In the plan, all heavy industry industries will be excluded, focusing on the development of emerging electronic and electrical industries, cashmere textile industries, new aircraft materials, and new machinery technology industries. It will build a centralized imperial administrative center and education and cultural industry center city. This will be an imperial capital that is completely dominated by the Chinese Tang style palace style, showing the magnificent charm of the Eastern imperial capital.

Of course, the name Canberra needs to be changed.

Li Fushou was in a very good mood while strolling on the plain on horseback. He smiled and said, "Ali, your government's affairs are all over the place now, and they are so busy. Let's do this. I will send you the Tinggan and capture the package of planning and construction of the new capital. His work is in line with my wishes. What do you think?"

"I thank you for your compassion. If your brother from the court has taken action, it is a good thing that cannot be obtained even if you ask for it."

"Okay, we will first collect the overall design plan for the new capital area. We can build the surrounding railways, highways, reservoirs, power stations and other projects first, and take 2 to 3 years to prepare for every detail. We must do it steadily and in place, and build the imperial capital with a forward-looking vision for the 20th century, leaving a valuable asset for future generations."

After Li Fushou said that, the Prime Minister Zhang Li, Secretary-General Cai Tinggan and others who followed him with a solemn expression, and felt a heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

After a few words, Li Fushou made a decision on the plan to move the capital. He turned his horse's head and headed towards the palace. The royal guard officers around him quickly stepped forward, and the galloping cavalry swept across the grassland like spreading wings, isolating a large area of ​​safe areas.

Before the emperor arrived, the entire city had a curfew for three days. A large-scale security screening was carried out, and many criminals and half-black and half-white figures were swept up, and all of them were detained in detention centers for review one by one.

Today, when the Emperor went on a trip, the Royal Guard's tanks and armored vehicles closed all nearby roads and prohibited any vehicles from passing.

The same is true in the city of Canberra, with the purpose of preventing evil people from driving vehicles in an attempt to be detrimental to the emperor and taking precautions in advance.

The little details demonstrate the professional ability of the Royal Guards' Professional Guards and will not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of.

The assassination case of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand in Sarajevo detonated the current world war. The previous experience is not far away, and it is reasonable that the guards are extremely nervous.
