Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1135: America's America

Views:

In the face of the menacing mainland coalition forces, the colonial government of the British Indo-China Peninsula was dumbfounded. The Indochina Peninsula, which has lost its sea power, is like a house leaking from all sides, unable to withstand the wind and rain.

Even ignoring the difference in combat power between the two sides, the Indochina Peninsula alone cannot make up one million. However, the enemy also has the advantage of sea and air, and can attack from all directions.

The telegram for help went to London and then to India.

After the Battle of Malacca, the Far East route was interrupted. Even if the mainland sends reinforcements immediately, it will take a detour from India.

Time waits for no one on the battlefield, and the mainland coalition forces are killed. Now only India can support the British Indo-China Peninsula.

After the outbreak of the hegemony war, the Indian colonial army expanded rapidly, and the total force has exceeded the four million mark.

The data on paper is absolutely strong. Even the combined forces of the Holy Roman Empire's army, navy and air force are less than three million.

But now is the era of industrialization, although the human sea tactics can still play a role, but this role is being weakened.

My family knew about their own affairs, and Governor Robert Jervis knew exactly what these four million colonial troops were.

Command, equipment, training, morale, there is no such a qualified army, how can you imagine the combat effectiveness.

If it is really capable of fighting, there is no need to worry about being besieged by Russia and Austria, but they are dispatched to find the bad luck of the two countries.

Looking at the telegram for help in his hand, Robert's heart collapsed. To the north is the Russian army going south, to the west is the Shinra army going east, and now there are millions of colonial coalition forces emerging from the east.

At the same time, fighting against the world's two major army powers and the third front will make the scalp tingle.

But no matter how difficult it is, the Indochina Peninsula must be saved. Otherwise, the enemy will kill all the way, and in the end, India will be unlucky.

Even if the enemy cannot be defeated, at least the enemy must be dragged in the Indo-China Peninsula to buy time for the domestic breakout.

After hesitating for a long time, Governor Robert said: "Order the Seventh Army and Eighth Army to quickly go south to reinforce the Indo-China Peninsula.

Notify the heads of various departments to come to a meeting in the evening to discuss the expansion of the army. "

It is clear that there are more than four million troops, but it still feels that the troops are not enough. It feels incredible to think about it, but reality tells Robert that if you want to keep India, you must continue to expand the army.

Hearing this appalling news, the assistant on the side quickly persuaded: "Your Excellency Governor, our army has already expanded to the limit, and I am afraid to continue expanding the army now..."

"There are not so many fears, the enemy is coming, and the mobile troops in our hands are insufficient. What can we use to resist if we do not expand the army

If the number of grass-roots officers is insufficient, they are trained quickly, or they are directly promoted from the veterans.

If the weapons and equipment are insufficient, they will go to the private collection. It doesn't matter what kind of weapon it is, as long as it can kill the enemy.

What's more, the country has also given us strong support. Didn't you just send the equipment of the two divisions yesterday? Once the immediate urgency is over, it will be fine later. "

It's not that Robert likes to make rhetoric and change concepts, but the situation is really difficult, and as the governor, he must show confidence.

The equipment of the two divisions is not a small amount, but compared to the current millions of colonial troops, that is a drop in the bucket.

In order to satisfy everyone with one gun, even the flintlock guns of the last century have appeared in the army. The age of the artillery is even older than Governor Robert himself.

No matter how unreliable, something is better than nothing. It's not enough to pull it out for a field battle, and the defensive fortifications can always play a role.

There is no way to do this, and it is not only the Indian colonial army that has disorganized weapons. Even the troops of the British Isles cannot guarantee uniform equipment.

It's not that the British government is ineffective, it's mainly due to congenital restrictions. As a sea power country, the British Army has long taken the "short and powerful" route.

In the capitalist world, it has always been "the market order determines the scale of the industry". The army has few orders, and the related industrial chain is naturally not big.

A little understanding of the British military industry system shows that the army military industry is basically attached to the naval military industry.

Relying solely on the army's orders, I am afraid that even the industrial chain cannot be maintained. After all, there are still few high-value-added equipment these days, and rifles, machine guns, and ordinary artillery have all passed the period of huge profits.

In a sense, the emergence of armored forces also saved the army's military industry.

It's a pity that this thing is not practical for Britain at all.

Usually you don't need to use this kind of big killer. When you need to use it, the enemy has already landed on the British Isles, and the general trend is gone.

When peace cannot suppress the world, the devil will come out, and the whole world will fall into "blood" and "panic".

From Africa to Europe, and then from Europe to the Near East, the Far East, and the Indo-China Peninsula, the entire world island is immersed in blood and fire.

However, this is just the beginning. The American continent, which was isolated overseas, was also unable to survive alone. Since the secret negotiation failed, the Ocean Alliance has launched an attack on Shinra's colonies in the Americas.

Overnight, Latin America, South America, and the Caribbean were reduced to battlefields, and the scope of the world war expanded again.

Austrian Central America is a great place. Shinra has been operating locally for decades. The population has already exceeded 10 million.

Even if it was besieged by the enemy on the north and south fronts, it would not fall behind, and even burned the war to the hinterland of Mexico and Colombia.

Austrian South America is also barely able to make do. Although the local population is just over one million, it is not a problem to rely on the Andes Mountains to block the enemy's attack.

What's more, Shinra is not without allies in the Americas. Although there is no direct line-up, it is not difficult to drag the Ocean Alliance back.

Since the war has gone on until now, apart from the fall of Alaska in North America, Shinra has never lost a large tract of territory.

Persimmons are looking for a soft pinch. If they can't beat the boss, they will look for the bad luck of the younger brother, and then Spain will be tragic.

The Americans, who had long coveted Cuba, couldn't hold back their ambitions and extended the devil's hand to the Caribbean Sea.

It's just that the United States was not lucky enough. After suppressing the rebellion, the Spaniards did not immediately disband the French mercenaries, but instead hired them for a long time.

Changed the time of the Cuban-American War, the situation is naturally very different. Unlike the one-sidedness of the original time and space, now the battle is in a state of anxiety.

Facts have proved that the American soldiers of this year are really not suitable for war. Even if they have an absolute numerical advantage, they are pressed and fought by mercenaries.

If it weren't for the limited number of French mercenaries and their unwillingness to work for the Continental Alliance, the U.S. military who might have landed would be in a daze.

It is embarrassing that the three major battlefields are collectively resting. As the mastermind of the operation, Theodore Roosevelt only felt pressured.

There was a voice deep in his heart that kept reminding him: work hard, or you will be the worst president in the history of the United States with the hapless Lincoln.

Although Roosevelt took the lead, countries who chose to send troops at this time were actually forced out.

After the private contact with the Vienna government was fruitless, everyone knew that nothing would be done, and when the British ship sank, everyone would be buried together.

The war has continued until now, and the British boss has always been very difficult, and is completely suppressed and beaten.

Sending troops to attack the European continent and helping the British boss to win the war is naturally no need to think about it.

Everyone is still self-aware that the Ocean Alliance together will not be enough for the Shinra family to fight in Europe.

Since it was impossible to attack, President Roosevelt took advantage of the situation and proposed "the Americas of the Americas" in an attempt to "self-protect according to the ocean."

To do this, it is not only necessary to have a strong navy; more importantly, it is necessary to pull out the nails around it and not leave a foothold for the enemy.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes, the enemy's nails are too stubborn, and the way they pull the nails is too clumsy.

Not only did he not pull out the nails left by the enemy, but he accidentally injured his own hand.

As the battle reports from the front came one after another, Theodore Roosevelt's temper was getting worse and worse.

"It's all a bunch of trash!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"The United States is corrupted in..."

In the face of the President's constant rants, the military representatives all lowered their heads and revealed arrogantly. There is no way, if you lose the battle, you have to be confident.

For this operation, all member states of the Ocean Alliance, except Britain and Japan, sent their most "elite" troops to participate in the war.

King start, bronze record. The coalition army, which seemed to have an absolute advantage, was directly beaten by the enemy on the battlefield.

Not to mention the heavy losses, the key is the bankruptcy of the strategic plan. If they can't drive the enemy out of the American continent, they can't stand it once the fall is settled in the future.

The law does not blame the public, and whether it can be applied depends on the occasion. In a highly exciting game like participating in the World War, there has always been a mistake, so don't let it go.

There may be a chance for other countries to surrender; once the United States surrenders, the fate that awaits them is to be divided again.

The failure of private contact is the best evidence. The Vienna government would not have directly demanded an unconditional surrender if it had not been prepared to deal ruthlessly with the United States.

From this point of view, the other member states of the Oceanic Union were actually implicated by the United States.

Without this big boss, the small country is simply not worthy of the Vienna government's special targeting, so let it go.

Perhaps it was because Roosevelt scolded it too harshly, or perhaps it was to save the last face for the military, Secretary of State Melcho said, "Your Excellency, now that this has happened, it will not help to hold you accountable, and it is imperative to deal with follow-up issues as soon as possible. .

The strategy of driving the Holy Roman Empire out of the Americas is unshakable, the strength of our allies is unreliable, and we must find our own way. "

After all, cheating is not a long-term solution, and governments of various countries are not fools, and they will react sooner or later.

Knowing that the Vienna government is really targeting only the United States, everyone knows how to choose.

Even if the governments of various countries are slow to respond, the Vienna government will remind them at the right time and guide them to make the right choice.

"If you can't win, just join" is not a shameful thing, the real shame is that you make mistakes again and again.

The betrayal of an ally is only one message away. Whenever it is determined that the British Empire will be defeated, countries will immediately choose to cut their losses.

That's all it takes to withdraw. The most fearful thing is that these countries will turn against each other and stab the United States again.

In this regard, the Vienna government is professional and best at turning the enemy's little brother into its own.

The topic was changed, but the military representative did not dare to answer. It's easy to rely on your own strength, the problem is that you really can't win!

The most elite troops in the country were sent out, but as a result, Cuba was not even taken down by the Spaniards, let alone the more powerful Holy Roman Empire.

Of course, this does not mean that the United States cannot help Shinra's colonies. As long as there is enough time, Shinra's colonies in America can be dragged to death by national power.

The reason why everyone is worried now is because time does not allow it. The hegemony war has reached a critical moment, and a bad British Empire is gone.

Without the British boss to shield the wind and rain in front, the United States alone cannot have the strength to confront the Holy Roman Empire.

With the foothold of Central America, even if it is separated by a vast ocean, it cannot hinder the projection of Shinra's power.

Although this power projection, it can't be all, even one-fifth is difficult.

But the U.S. military has not been beaten, and they still have no confidence in the two-tier military power of Shinra.

In particular, the enemy is good at calling friends and friends, and even the awesome Britain has fallen into the situation of being besieged. If the United States is replaced by the United States, there will be more countries participating in the siege.

Seeing this scene, President Roosevelt's inner anger grew even stronger. It's just that the military is not up to par, and it's not a day or two, and it's useless to scold.

The military luck of the United States was not prosperous, but also for historical reasons. Immigrants who came to the United States themselves came to escape the war in Europe, and were naturally anti-war people.

Especially after the Civil War, the anti-war ideology was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In order to get the votes in the hands of the people, members of the parliament have catered to their names and turned into anti-war activists.

The military power that rose during the war was quickly suppressed by politicians. Not only has the military structure been compressed, but the members of Congress are even stingy and reluctant to issue the rank of general.

In this context, the military has certainly become a good boy, but a good boy is not good at fighting!

Including this war, the people are also more anti-war voices. If it were not for the almost unanimous support of the big capitalists in the country, the United States would not have participated at all.

"Did the military have no plans?"

Greeting Roosevelt's sharp gaze and determined that he could not escape this time, Brigadier General Matthias replied: "The enemy has been operating in Central America for a long time, and even sent a prince to serve as the governor, which shows the importance of it.

As we all know, the Holy Roman Empire ruled the colonies and adopted the oldest system of enfeoffment. Under this system, the enfeoffed nobles had a large number of private armies.

At present, most of these nobles are the first generation, and they are all warriors killed from the battlefield. Although retired, they are still serving in the Reserves…”
