Washington

After a shocking explosion of "boom", the obelisk standing high slowly fell down, and hit the ground and immediately shaking the mountains. A large cloud of smoke and dust covered the sky.

Colonel Li Jianyang, wearing British uniform, shrugged regretfully and was indifferent to the soldiers who were carrying large and small bags of supplies on the street. These items were not at all attractive to him, and he could not get what he wanted, such as the original manuscript of the Declaration of Independence, and other more memorable items.

This immigrant country was established for too short and there were no cultural relics.

Therefore, Colonel Li Jianyang is a salted fish in Washington City today.

"Lt. Col. Enrique, this may be a rare experience in life. Don't you look for some souvenirs?"

"Maybe, I'm not interested in these cowboy stuff, this is a country without history, with chaotic and vulgar beliefs, everything you see is a large-scale industrial product, with no collection point unless it's gold coins."

Lieutenant Colonel Enrique is an Italian. He spreads his hands very emotionally. In terms of culture and art, Italians are very confident and look down on the shallow Americans.

He glanced at the Fuso engineers responsible for blasting the obelisk and said with a complicated expression; "They arranged for the Fuso people to blow up the Washington Monument, and the Ocean Empire would blow up some other monumental buildings to erase the glorious history of this city. I think this scene will be an eternal pain in the hearts of the American people."

"It's true that in the face of the inevitable ending, the American people's persistence has no meaning." Li Jianyang probably had been in London for a long time, so he shrugged his shoulders naturally and commented with a mean tone;

"It is no different from two years to persevere in war. The only thing the Americans can get is the broken cities and more hungry people. It is time to stop this meaningless struggle performance.

Although the French have never been reliable, they are rarely correct in advocating peace suggestions.

Unfortunately, American cowboys have also had poor brains. The consequence of angering the Ocean Empire is that the noose around their necks are getting tighter and tighter, the transatlantic trade is completely interrupted, and everything you see in front of you.

Surrendering to the strong is the correct rule of survival. American cowboys obviously haven't learned this, and they will pay a heavy price for it, which is a result that we don't want to see."

"I agree with you, dear Mr. Jazz." Lieutenant Colonel Enrique looked at the beautiful city in front of him with a pity, and murmured; "What a beautiful city, it's a pity that it will become a ruin."

On the wide Pennsylvania Street, the towering obelisk has collapsed. With the assistance of German and British engineers, the Ocean Empire engineers are burying a large amount of explosives on landmark buildings such as the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court, and other buildings, preparing to destroy them one by one.

At the entrances of major museums, there are long-distance military trucks, collecting and packing various precious books and cultural relics, and then transporting them to the train station, where there are trains that lead to Norfolk port. These items will be sent as spoils to the Empire Museum, the Queensland Museum, the Sydney Museum and some other places. Perhaps the precious items will be collected by the Palace of Ming and become a part of the history of conquest.

Soldiers carrying large and small packages can be seen everywhere on the streets, savagely seizing their own trophy. The whole city is in chaos, many villas and beautiful buildings are destroyed by raging fires, countless black smoke rises into the sky, the air is filled with a strong smell of burnt, and occasionally you can hear sporadic gunshots.

Like a helpless woman, Washington was crying in pain and was ravaged.

President Woodrow Wilson is paying a heavy price to infuriate the Ocean Empire. In any case, he will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in history because of the catastrophic destruction faced by the capital Washington, and become one of the most failed US presidents.

Another one is the former President Theodore Roosevelt who dragged the United States into this desperate war. His wrong decision ruined the once powerful American Navy.

Since the US president rejected France's peace initiative, the policy of the Ocean Imperial Expeditionary Force has changed significantly, revealing its hideous fangs.

Starting from August 22

After the 35,000 reinforcements that supplemented the Eastern Front Corps arrived one after another, the Eastern Front Corps launched another attack, sweeping away towns and towns within a radius of 200 kilometers. They changed their attitude of strict military discipline in the early stage and began to allow soldiers to burn, kill, rob and act at will.

The direct impact of this is the extreme panic of the American people. This emotional plague spread rapidly like a radius. The social order in towns and villages with hundreds of kilometers was in chaos. Many people took their families and luggage and rushed to the north in carriages.

On the road leading to the north

There was a constant stream of people fleeing, and it was the busy farming season for wheat cultivation again, but no one was working in the fields. A large number of urban personnel were lost, factories and shops were forced to close down, and social production and economic order were severely damaged.

This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the Atlantic trade line has been completely cut off, causing the entire northern American economy to be in trouble.

The grain and crops in the south cannot be transported into the north, and the production and production of industrial products in the north cannot be sold to Europe. The entire trade chain has been completely destroyed, and a large number of people fleeing into the metropolis, causing the population of the metropolis to increase sharply and the basic food supply has encountered difficulties.

Especially in New York and Philadelphia, hundreds of factories have closed down, countless shops and goods have been sold out, and the entire trade operation has been cut off, without the enemy attack, they are in a huge crisis of survival.

At this time

For their own interests, many large capitalists and businessmen began to strongly criticize President Woodrow Wilson's policy of fighting to the end, believing that such narrow policy can only lead the United States to a dead end, leading to the real collapse of America, being the sinner of the country and the nation, and being an extremely wrong policy.

If you can't beat it, you must recognize it. If you are beaten, you must stand attentive. This is the case in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

This kind of remarks has a very strong market in major cities in the north, which further aggravated the chaos in the city. There were constant demonstrations of various names, public robbery and murder, violent conflicts and gangster gun battles emerged one after another. The police and local garrisons were exhausted and the public security was completely deteriorated.

The military recruitment was not smooth, and the army that was often hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands was beaten to death, which made most Americans feel scared. The rumors about the Demon Marshal and his Devil Corps were so magical that many people were unwilling to go to the battlefield to die.

In such a huge Philadelphia, it has only recruited less than 50,000 troops. Most of them are recruits who have been enlisted for less than a month. They are still studying the queues and regulations, and they are useless at all.

Even if the Federal Army is a group of mobs, it cannot be used just by pulling it out.

New recruits must undergo certain military training to know who the commander is, the most basic military regulations, basic queue training, team military cooperation and other basic knowledge, so a shorter two-month military training is indispensable.

These newcomers are guarding trenches or hiding in the city to snatch cold guns, which can also cause some trouble to the Expeditionary Force. If they are put in the wild, they will be a plate of crispy dishes in front of the fierce Ocean Empire Expeditionary Force. If there are more people chew it, they will be swallowed.

Therefore, even if the capital Washington is surrounded by heavy troops and the 19-day urban defense battle is extremely bloody, Philadelphia and New York dare not send troops to solve the problem, which is equivalent to delivering vegetables.

It turns out that they are right to do so.

The armored mobile troops of the Eastern Front Corps were ready to attack any reinforcements and annihilate them on the field.

The Americans finally learned to be good and escaped this disaster.

Then the question comes again

When the capital Washington was besieged by heavy troops, reinforcements from Philadelphia and New York were afraid to reinforce. They watched the beautiful capital fall and be ravaged by war, but there was no way.

So what about Philadelphia's turn? What about New York?

The problem returns to the origin. What is the significance of persisting in such a war to eliminate huge casualties and more losses?

"Sir, please stay, blasting is about to be carried out. You can't continue to move forward to prevent being injured by explosives. It's best to find a building to hide for a while."

"Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant."

"You're welcome, sir."

The second lieutenant who came to stop him salute, turned around and left.

Colonel Li Jianyang looked at the majestic and magnificent Baroque American Capitol, sighed in his heart, lifted his legs and turned to the other side. On the other side of Pennsylvania Street was also a government building, with bullet marks and cannon pits on the exterior walls, which looked mottled and miserable.

The doors and windows of the building were all broken, and the main body was still there.

When Colonel Li Jianyang and Lieutenant Colonel Enrique walked in, they were surprised to find that there was a soldier dormitory, with gravel rubble placed on one side, and on the other side were rolled up marching pavings, as well as various messy curtains wrapped up singles, which were obviously obtained by the soldiers' plunder.

Several soldiers sat on the pile of items, chatting while drinking wine, and chatting with each other, full of the strong smell of diesel. When they saw two foreign officers walking in, they were stunned, and then stood up and saluted, "Mr. Wu'an."

"Oh...rest a little." Li Jianyang quickly came back and knew that this was probably some armored soldiers. This sturdy government building was regarded as a temporary dormitory by them.

Although there are no doors and windows, the climate in Washington at the end of August is pleasant, and it is not cold to sleep with a bedding at night.

"Relax some guys, we are preparing to explode outside, so let's come in and hide." Lieutenant Colonel Enrique explained, and stood consciously in a place covered by the walls, then took out a box of big golden dragon cigarettes from his pocket and said kindly to the soldiers, "Come one?"

"Thank you, sir."

The soldiers were obviously smokers. Seeing this, they came over to each of them without hesitation, and lit a cigarette and began to suck up the clouds and fog.

"Cert, can you drink some? This is a whiskey from the south of the United States, and it tastes good. Oh, by the way... we are the tankers of the 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion, the 4th Armored Division of the Royal Guards. I am Pan Ergou, a second-level sergeant." The veteran in charge introduced himself without hesitation when Colonel Li Jianyang could speak Mandarin.

Colonel Li Jianyang took the wine with a smile and took a sip, handed it to Lieutenant Colonel Enrique, and then said, "Good whiskey has a pure oak barrel flavor, at least it is a good wine that has been stored in the cellar for more than 10 years. I am British Colonel Li Jianyang, a native of Somalia in the overseas province."

"Lieutenant Colonel Enrique, the Italian Army General Staff, thank you for your wine." Lieutenant Colonel Enrique also took a sip and nodded in his head as he felt good. Just as he reached out to hand the bottle back, a series of deafening explosions sounded in his ears.

The outside was as violent as the earth was shaking, and countless smoke and dust swept over and rushed in unstoppable from the doors and windows. The originally bright light suddenly dimmed and shrouded in the gray smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen.
