"Dear Commander, can I talk to you alone?" After the military meeting, Colonel Li Jianyang took the initiative to step forward and called General Huo Xiaohu.

General Huo Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, his eyes stopped a little on the young British colonel, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Of course, young Mr. Colonel, you can have dinner with me and talk about you by the way."

"Thank you, Commander, for my great honor."

In the evening, the small restaurant on the second floor of the White House.

On the dining table covered with white tablecloth, there are exquisite cold food, as well as two small stir-fries with meat and vegetable, a bowl of soup and a plate of white flour steamed buns, and red wine and white wine are placed next to it. This is a very strange combination.

General Huo Xiaohu waved to Colonel Li Jianyang to sit down and said with a smile, "The chef in the headquarters is also a northerner. He knows that I like noodles, but I don't have a cold to caviar and cheese. So you can just choose what you like, and you don't have to worry about it. You can drink some as much as you want."

"Thank you, Commander. I won't drink, just eat some."

"Okay, let's start."

General Huo Xiaohu picked up the steamed bun and tore it in his mouth, chewed it with relish, picked up the chopsticks and ate it for a few bites, and said, "To be serious, I am still your uncle. When I conquered Mozambique more than 20 years ago, I led my army to be stationed in Xi'an. At that time, I met your father Li Yong. He is indeed a person who dares to think and does things, and he is very smart."

"Then I will take the initiative to call you Uncle?" Li Jianyang said with a humble expression.

His family knew his family's affairs. His father, Li Yong, was originally an officer of the Earl's Mansion's personal guard, but his military rank was only a lieutenant. He quickly withdrew from active service because of his smuggling business. Later, he took up the position of a reserve lieutenant colonel in the militia regiment, which was really unlimited.

General Huo Xiaohu was a minister of the dragon. During the conquest of Mozambique, he was already in the rank of brigadier general. Now Marshal Li is just a leader of his then commander. He said he was an old acquaintance with Li Yong, which was a great remark.

"There are several particularly outstanding figures in the second generation of the imperial nobles. Li Xiaozu from Marshal Li's family is one, Duan Changjiang from the old Duan family is one, and you are also one. They are all outstanding talents, and I admire them very much."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, value it, Jianyang is ashamed."

"There is no need to be modest. Your affairs are not a secret at the upper level. Churchill is a very capable and thoughtful minister of the Admiralty. He studied cruise tanks on land as the Minister of the Admiralty. He is a top figure in his lack of business."

General Huo Xiaohu opened the topic as a uncle, picked up the soup and took a sip, took a few more sips of the dishes, and continued, "Don't think about it carefully, you can guess what you have to ask me for. Do you want to go to Omaha?"

"The Uncle Shi's eyes are as sharp as a torch. Jianyang can't hide anything in front of you. I really think so." Li Jianyang put down his chopsticks, held his knees with his hands upright, and his attitude was very positive, and he said sincerely;

"I have been in the West Asia since I was a child, and I have been in contact with the mercenaries for many years. I am not unfamiliar with big and small battles, but these are all wild ways.

Since studying at the Royal Sanchester Military Academy in the United Kingdom, I have personally experienced and observed the entire process of the Russo-Japanese War and the eye-catching North American War. I have given me some of my own ideas about military command and tactics, and I have always been eager to be verified in practice, but I have no chance.

In the British Army

A Chinese identity like me will be subject to various invisible restrictions and will not be able to lead troops on the front line, and the British will not hand over the entire regiment of soldiers to my command.

I finally got a chance during this magnificent North American War, so I hope to meet with the Somali troops, at least I can make my own contribution and have more highlights in the war, and I will also have more qualifications in the Royal British Army.

A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. I don’t want to be a favourite minister of Churchill. I always have to see my strengths. I don’t rely on kneeling and licking Churchill to the top, so it’s really hard for me to accept that.”

"It's great to have such an idea, and Shi Bo will definitely support you." General Huo Xiaohu thought for a while and asked, "Where is the Somalia army now?"

"Shiwang is still stranded in San Francisco."

"Oh, three thousand people aren't it?"

“Yes, there are 3107 people in total.”

"Can you ride a horse? Are you transported?"

"There are all the best cavalry, but unfortunately there is not a single horse. The journey from Somalia to San Francisco is too far away to bring the horses."

"Hahaha... for a small matter, the Americans lack nothing here, let alone war horses. This is what... The 3,000 troops belonging to the UK should be given priority to transport to Omaha. This is a consensus reached by the Allies long ago. The relevant cavalry equipment will be allocated from the Western Front Corps. After all, the British still have to give face. You can borrow some power." General Huo Xiaohu immediately decided that what others think is difficult, and it is just a sentence.

"Then I'll thank you for your uncle. It's really hard to describe my joy in my heart..."

"I don't think anyone will have any objection to the British army." Looking at his excited expression, General Huo Xiaohu smiled and thought about it and continued. "You are temporarily following the main corps westward. After occupying Pittsburgh, I will arrange for a light bomber to take you over and go to Omaha to meet your cavalry in advance. What's going on depends on your own."

"Uncle Shi, I will never thank you for your kindness. Please give me a bow." Li Jianyang quickly stood up and took a step sideways, bowing to the ground with a long bow.

General Huo Xiaohu showed a kind smile on his face and instructed, "Shi Bo is old and has a bad memory. I would like to remind me at that time, so as not to forget about the busy military affairs."

"Jianyang keeps it in mind."

"That's good, hahaha... I'm looking forward to your performance on the battlefield. Let's have a meal, it will be cold in a while."

August 27, 1909

The Imperial Expeditionary Force launched a large-scale battle at the same time, and attacked in multiple ways, using thunderous force to sweep the surrounding towns. The war spread rapidly, causing the northern states in the United States to fall into unprecedented fear.

In order to implement the "resolute and powerful" instructions, the Expeditionary Force implemented a strict screening policy for sweeping towns. Whoever carries a gun will be dealt with by enemy special forces and will be shot and killed immediately.

Anyone who resists and searches, incites to resist refusal, gathers crowds, spreads rumors, and disobeys the orders of the Expeditionary Forces to be shot and killed immediately, the factory is destroyed, the materials are confiscated, and any resistance is severely suppressed.

Wherever the army passed, there was a cry of fathers and mothers crying. The American towns that had not arrived were shrouded in great fear, and a larger wave of refugees was once again set off. The elderly and young families migrated to the north. This time, they left cleaner than before.

The resistance forces gathered in some towns were defeated by armored forces, and then surrounded and suppressed the mountains and fields, as if driving sheep.

Some Mid-level troops tried to rely on the towns to resist, and were often burned by a fire and all the towns were burned clean. Most of these towns were mainly wooden buildings. Without the strong urban defense conditions like Washington, how could they be defeated?
