After a moment, the smoke gradually dissipated.

Li Jianyang simply slapped the dust on his body and looked back and stared at it.

The tall and majestic Baroque building on Pennsylvania Street has completely collapsed and turned into a pile of high rubble. Some misty smoke and dust lingered in the air, as if looking for traces of the magnificent buildings of the old days.

At this moment, there was a feeling called shock in his heart.

This is the ability of modern military forces to destroy civilization. In just a moment, the historical buildings that have been hard-working for more than ten years will be gone. It is so terrible.

"What's the point of this special girl? I just had a few days of stability and I was playing with the ball all at once. Why is it so much dust?" Pan Ergou coughed a few times by the dust, and he couldn't help but vomit fragrance.

The soldiers next to him didn't spoil him, and said casually, "What's wrong with Master Dog? Do you still have to report to you when doing things in the Expeditionary Force Command?"

"Xiao Ming, stop, be careful that I can't beat you to death."

"Don't threaten people with force at any time. The sir is here. We have to take the word "reason" when we talk and do things. I'm right at the Shangfeng. After such a big building is blasted, how bright will you see?"

"You flattery!"

"No matter whether flatters or not, do you think it's much more open and bright?"

More than just open and bright!

After the explosion, the Capitol Hill was shattered into a pile of high rubble. You can see the Potomac River in the distance smoothly. There are broken arms and ruins everywhere wherever you look. They are traces of war left by the bloody city battle in a total of 22 days.

The beautiful city of the past disappeared after this catastrophe.

The large buildings standing tall in the entire city are only some museums and government buildings, as well as the Federal Supreme Court and the White House complex...

"boom"……

A loud noise that was connected to the sky and the ground sounded again, and the explosion shaking the mountains. After the loud noise, the Federal Supreme Court disappeared, and a pile of rubble was added to the city.

Well, there is another landmark building missing now.

After a planned plunder and blast, this capital, which symbolizes American justice, freedom and democracy, will be completely erased. Even the White House and museums are inevitably avoided, and they are all stepped into powder under the iron hooves of the empire's conquest.

Even if it is rebuilt one day, so what?

No one can erase this darkest moment. This is a huge wound in the history of a country. If you touch it, you will feel blood flowing and heart-wrenching.

Li Jianyang and Enrique were very moved by this. After saying goodbye to several soldiers, they walked along the wide Pennsylvania ruins and soon arrived at the coalition command-former Federal Administrative Center, the White House.

The White House is one of the few intact buildings in Washington. The imperial flag is flying high on the roof. Hundreds of tank and armored vehicles are neatly parked on the south lawn at the door, and hundreds of military trucks are parked along the street, with no sign of sight.

From a distance, you can smell a scent of iron blood.

On duty at the door were the joint posts of the British, Germany, Italy and the Oceanic Empire Expeditionary Army soldiers. It is said that this reflects the spirit of cooperation between the allies. As a representative of the British army who was not just accused by the British army, Colonel Li Jianyang did not object (the British dispatched troops only without authorization, and obtained the acquiescence of the Prime Minister, but did not pass the parliamentary resolution, and the parliament also pretended not to see it.).

The problem is that only sixty soldiers under his command can be on duty. He can participate in joint duty at several posts near the White House, and there is nothing else to do.

The British sent a total of 3,200 troops. Li Jianyang brought only more than 160 British troops. He crossed the Atlantic Ocean from the British mainland and arrived directly at Norfolk Port. He left dozens of them in Richmond, and the others were all here.

There are more than 3,000 Somali mercenaries who travel thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean and then cross the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco. The whole journey is about 38,000 kilometers. They are still resting in San Francisco!

San Francisco is about 4,760 kilometers away from Washington, and is separated by a large-scale occupied area of ​​the US military. It is impossible to meet in a short time. Li Jianyang could only entrust the Eastern Front Expeditionary Force of the Ocean Empire to command.

It is estimated that the Eastern Front Command did not take these more than 3,000 mercenaries seriously. They have never arranged a train to send them to the Omaha front. Instead, the 24,000 troops of the 4th Division of the Fuso Kingdom and more than 10,000 Russian troops arrived, and they are about to participate in the large-scale war launched on the Eastern Front.

"Col. Lieutenant Colonel Enrique, two of you. The commander is still looking for you just now. He is preparing to convene a joint military meeting of multiple countries. You can go quickly."

"Oh, thank you."

After receiving a kind reminder from the passing officer, Colonel Li Jianyang and Lieutenant Colonel Enrique hurriedly returned to the dormitory to change into military uniforms, washed their faces briefly and rushed to the large conference hall on the first floor of the White House. When they arrived, all the commanders of various countries had arrived.

The two quietly found a seat behind to sit down to avoid affecting the meeting.

General Huo Xiaohu, commander of the Eastern Front Corps of the Expeditionary Force, who was standing in front, glanced at the two of them, and saw that the personnel were almost all arrived, and then spoke;

“Dear delegates, gentlemen;

In view of the US's stubborn resistance stance, the allies will take more resolute and powerful measures to attack the enemy through frank and friendly consultations to promote the arrival of peace as soon as possible.

Should see

The allies reached consensus on the fight against the United States and dominate North and South America, hindering international trade, and taking unfair treatment of business personnel from various countries. The purpose of the war is not to conquer, but to promote change to conform to the current international order.

Therefore, at this stage, using more resolute and powerful means to attack the enemy has become the main demand of the Allied armies.

The Expeditionary Force has formulated a relevant "Autumn Operation Plan" on this. Please give a detailed introduction to Deputy Chief of Staff Liao Jiachun, welcome to everyone..."

General Huo Xiaohu's brief opening statement attracted the whispers of the officers of the Allied countries. It was obvious that there was a lot of criticism and did not agree with his words.

As the saying goes, to strike the enemy with more resolute and powerful means, everything that is happening in Washington should be part of it.

This is the first time Li Jianyang has heard of the term "Autumn Operation Plan", let alone participate in the formulation of the operation plan. If the word "friendly consultation" is not used, it is more appropriate to say that it is "notification".

From this we can see the dominance of the Ocean Empire Expeditionary Force. Against the backdrop of the brilliant achievements, representatives of various countries did not object and chose to default.

Lieutenant General Shenxing, the commander of the Japanese Fourth Division, who had just arrived, was as happy as a whisper. No matter what General Huo Xiaohu said, he would bow 90 degrees at a time, indicating that what you said was the truth and unconditional obedience.

Another heavyweight is Lieutenant General Hohenzollern, the German general, who controls 5,600 German troops, and is an elite German 7th Division of the German army. It is the fourth-ranked unit and second-ranked combat effectiveness in the Allied forces.

Lieutenant General Hohenzollern is a standard "foreign fan". He is extremely obsessed with the extremely powerful armored forces of the Ocean Empire. He even admires the Expeditionary Force's achievements and will not say a single word of opposition.

As for the Russian army representatives who ranked third in the number of troops, they were still in the Western Front Army, and under Marshal Li, who was known as the "Devil Marshal", they probably didn't even dare to fart.

Therefore, although it is claimed to be an allied country, all military operations are arbitrary and other countries participate in friendly activities when carrying out their operations.

It’s okay if you don’t want to participate, stay in Washington to play with stones!

Although the officers of various countries below whispered, no one dared to object loudly, even the Italians who disliked the domineering style of the Ocean Empire the most had to admit it;

The strategies and tactics formulated by the Expeditionary Force are fierce and effective, highly targeted and implementable. They give full play to their own advantages of rapid maneuvering in the armored corps and can continuously deal heavy blows to the US military, with very good results.

After the applause, Major General Liao Jiachun, deputy chief of staff of the Eastern Front Army of the Expeditionary Force, walked up to the stage, picked up a cut-off billiard club, looked around and nodded to the representatives of various countries, and introduced to the large-scale combat map;

"The US military has experienced heavy blows from the Battle of Washington, and has been defeated again and again, and has suffered losses. The overall battlefield situation has shown a situation that is extremely conducive to the expeditionary force.

But the centipede insect will die without being stiff.

In response to the current reality of the US military's stubborn resistance, the headquarters of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the allies negotiated to formulate an autumn combat plan, which was officially named the "Autumn Wind Sweeping Falling Leaves Battle Plan".

The overall combat plan will be coordinated and commanded by Marshal Li Shuanzhu, the Expeditionary Force headquarters and the military commanders of various countries. It will be echoed from the east and west and promoted as a whole to achieve the strategic effect of giving the United States a fatal blow.

It is planned to start on August 27th and end when the first snowfall in winter is over.

The overall combat plan will bring together a total of 630,000 troops from the two major corpses of the East and West and allies, (220,000 troops from the Western Front Corps of the Expeditionary Force, 80,000 troops from the 4th Division of the Northern Federation, 25,000 troops from the 4th Division of the Fusang Kingdom, 20,000 troops from the Ryukyu Kingdom, 17,000 troops from the Vietnam Kingdom, 12,000 troops from the Tsarist Russia, 3,000 troops from the British Army, 130,000 troops from the Eastern Front Corps of the Northern Federation, 5,6,7,8 troops from the Northern Federation, 60,000 troops from the 5th Division of the Fusang Kingdom, 5,500 troops from the German Army, and 5,600 troops from the German Army. In addition, there are a few troops from Italy, Britain, Austria-Hungarian Empire, Chile, Uruguay and other countries). The Western Army is the main battlefield and the Eastern Army is the auxiliary battlefield. One main one, the east and the east advance, and the joint sweep are carried out, which completely lays the general tone of victory in the North American War.

The Western Front Corps had a force of about 400,000 and the Eastern Front Corps had a force of about 230,000.

There are 4 main combat goals;

The first and most important goal is to conquer and occupy Chicago, an important metropolis in the five Great Lakes areas, and deal a heavy blow to the United States' confidence in resistance.

The second point is to open up the 4,500-kilometer-long railway artery connecting the west coast of North America and the east coast.

The Western Front Corps sent a side army to march eastward from Omaha along the railway, conquering Kansas, St. Louis to Cincinnati, sweeping and capturing all towns along the way, identifying the enemy and us, resolutely suppressing the rebels and guerrillas, and clearing local public security.

The Eastern Front Corps sent a main force with a force of no less than 150,000. The armored forces were used as the leader to attack westward from Washington along the railway line, occupying towns in Maryland and West Virginia along the way, sweeping away enemy raids, clearing local public order, and meeting with the Western Front Corps' partial division in Cincinnati.

In the next step, the main force of the Eastern Front Corps turned northwest and attacked along the railway line. Finally, they met with the main force of the Western Front Corps outside Chicago and jointly besieged Chicago.

Third, implement the consensus of the Allies on resolute and powerful means to crack down on the enemy, destroy factories along the way, burn and destroy excess grain, strictly prohibit any cross-regional commercial activities, establish an effective control mechanism, and appropriately expand the scale of the minion army to adapt to the current severe struggle situation.

Fourth, the Eastern Front Corps should send a partial division to cooperate with the Imperial Royal Fleet to launch a strike against New York on important ports along the eastern coast, destroy its shipbuilding facilities and docks, and further put pressure on it.

This is the overall plan of the "Autumn Wind Sweeping Falling Leaves Operation Plan". Let me introduce to you the specific tasks and specific division of labor of the Eastern Front Corps..."

The long military meeting was held until dusk. Colonel Li Jianyang was drowsy when he heard it. He could not remember many of the subdivided plans, because it was not his business.

There are only more than 60 British soldiers under his command. What can we do in this super-large battle where millions of troops often fight?

Now on the North American battlefield, only Chicago has accumulated more than 500,000 heavy troops, and there are not many troops in other places, Philadelphia is more than 60,000, New York is only 80,000 to 90,000 people, and other cities are 30,000 or thousands of troops. Anyway, there are not many troops.

As for whether the city residents who have guns at home will fire cold guns after the Expeditionary Force enters the city, it is impossible to count.

Therefore, Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Liao Jiachun positioned this large-scale "Autumn Wind Sweeps Falling Leaves" combat plan as "laying the general tone of victory in the North American War", which is a very reasonable term.

After this battle

There is no large-scale heavy army group in the North American battlefield. It is unlikely that the Americans would want to assemble such a large army group.

This is determined by the reality, because the food shortage in the north is now very serious and the President is helpless.

The fourteen northern states of the United States were called "the United States' factories". Before the Civil War, almost all factories were in these 14 states. They were also called the "main forces of liberating black slaves" in the Free State, represented by factory owners and large capitalists.

Before the Civil War, the fourteen southern states were called "the granaries and ranches of the United States", and they are still there today.

Cotton, wheat grains and all agricultural and animal husbandry products are abundant here. The city is generally small in scale and is full of pastoral atmosphere. Various farms and pastoral farms of all sizes are everywhere in the south. It is very common to use black slaves. This is the "slave-keeping state" in the south.

Virginia, which the Imperial Expeditionary Force landed and occupied, was one of the southern slave states and was also the front line of confrontation between the north and the south. After the Imperial Expeditionary Force occupied this place, it cut off the transportation channels for food, grain, cotton and other agricultural materials from the north and the south.

The food in the south cannot be transported to the north, which has had a serious impact in the north. Many cities have caused food shortages, and starving people to death began to appear and spread rapidly, which is not a good sign.

Humans can survive without using industrial products, but they will definitely not be able to survive without eating.

Even President Woodrow Wilson, who was commanding in New York, could not solve this problem, and it was even more impossible to gather a large army without food, leaving him with little time.

The winter of 1909 must be extremely cold.
