Chapter 984 Central Line of Defense

Due to the limitations of the range, the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets were unable to strike a larger scale on the retreating US troops. Even though the Chinese Army's engineers had urgently built field airports in the valley of Chilpansingo. However, this was all

It takes time. After the field airport is repaired, the US military has already fled. However, even so, the US military's defeat caused by the attacks of the Chinese Air Force still caused heavy losses to the US military.

In order to avoid the bombing of Chinese Air Force fighter jets, a large number of US military officers and soldiers fled into the vast forests of the Southern Madre Mountains. Many people were lost in it and never came out again.

When the US military fled to a safe place, General Davis began to gather his troops, but found that the US military had once again lost tens of thousands of people. Of course, there were not many US troops directly killed by the Chinese Air Force, less than 10,000 people.

More people were lost and lost contact with the troops. Admiral Davis had no time to find the lost troops. He needed to lead the main force of the US military to continue to retreat and retreat to central Mexico to build a new one.

Line of defense. The 16th Infantry Army of the US Army is facing fierce attacks from the Chinese Army and Japanese mercenaries. They use their lives to buy time for the main force of the US Army and cannot be wasted in vain.

On the afternoon of March 30, after receiving a telegram from General Davis, Chief of Staff Leonard.

Admiral Wood was shocked and immediately went to the War Department with a telegram to report to War Minister Jacob Mt. Dickinson. At that time, War Minister Dickinson was enjoying a fragrant afternoon tea, but after knowing the situation on the front line

The tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

"How could this happen? Admiral Pershing left Mexico for only a week and the defense line of the Southern Madre was broken by the Chinese?" Minister Dickinson looked in disbelief. He regretted it now, and he wouldn't have known it if he hadn't known it before."

Compromise with President Taft and replace General Pershing. Perhaps if General Pershing continues to serve, the battle situation on the front line will be much better than it is now.

"Mr. Minister, it seems that General Anxin did not exaggerate the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains can no longer stop the Chinese army's attack. Fortunately, General Davis has led the main force of the US military to retreat, and he plans to be in central Mexico,

Building a new line of defense with Mexico City as the core. However, he needs us to send more troops to Mexico again. The most important thing is air defense weapons to prevent the Chinese Air Force from attacking us." Leonard.

Admiral Wood said.

Minister Dickinson nodded and said, "Let's go, we must report to His Excellency the President." Although, he knew that this would definitely attract President Taft's thrill of anger.

This must not be concealed from President Taft. More importantly, the government must come up with a solution to the aftermath. If the angry people know the US military's defeat, it will definitely cause very serious trouble to the Taft government.

It is even more impossible for President Taft to obtain his next presidency!

When War Secretary Dickinson and Army Chief of Staff Leonard.

When General Wood arrived at the White House, President Taft completed his work for the day and was walking in the garden. In the past two days, President Taft was in a pretty good mood. The Republican boss told him that they would not watch it.

Theodore.

Roosevelt split the Republican Party. And the American capitalists also like Taft and said they would continue to support him. After all, President Taft had made a lot of benefits for these big capitalists during his tenure and became the spokesperson for these big capitalists.

Even if we think about our own interests, these big capitalists will support him. Now President Taft's enemies are the Democratic Woodrow.

Wilson. However, President Taft believes that he will defeat Woodrow with the support of the big capitalists.

Wilson, there is no problem. After all, the United States is still a capitalist society. Money has unparalleled magic. It can almost be said that if you have money, you can buy everything.

When seeing War Secretary Dickinson and Army Chief of Staff Leonard.

When General Wood was led by his secretary to the garden of the White House, President Taft couldn't help but frown, he subconsciously thought that these two people had caused him another trouble. Last time he asked Pan Xing to

The Admiral sent to the Military Court Dickinson and Leonard.

Admiral Wood did not fully support him, which made him very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the war now and the overall situation was needed to stabilize the situation, he would have thought of a way to replace them both!

"Good afternoon, two!" Restraining the unhappiness in his heart, President Taft greeted him with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency President!" Dickinson and Leonard.

Admiral Wood said with a serious expression.

Seeing the faces of the two of them, President Taft couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Could it be that the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains was broken through! The Chinese people, right?"

"Ah? Your Excellency the President, you already know?" Leonard.

Admiral Wood was stunned and blurted out.

Suddenly, President Taft's face changed drastically. He jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on it: "What did you say? The defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains was really broken by the Chinese?"

Zi, his eyes were full of evil light, just like Leonard.

Admiral Wood is his irreconcilable enemy. He has just settled the election, but he didn't expect that such bad news came again.

"His Excellency President, we have just received a telegram from the front line. Chilpansingo has been captured by the Chinese, and the defense line of the Southern Madre has collapsed under the attack of the Chinese. General Davis is leading the way.

The main force of the US military retreated eastward and was preparing to retreat near Mexico City, reorganize the defense line and block the Chinese!" said War Minister Dickinson.

"Damn it, why is this happening? What else Davis does? Why is the defense line broken by the Chinese in a week? What is his mind? Is it all shit?" President Taft couldn't help but

He cursed.

"His Excellency President, this can only show one problem. The Chinese attacks are too fierce. The defense line in the Southern Madre Mountains has been in turmoil. What we need to do now is how to resist the Chinese attack. The other is how to face the angry people!"

Minister Dickinson reminded.

President Taft then came to his senses and quickly asked the secretary to find all the cabinet members. Then he returned to the office with a dark face, Minister Dickinson and Leonard.

Admiral Wood followed them silently.

This time, the cabinet members arrived very quickly and arrived in less than twenty minutes. However, everyone's faces looked very bad, just like my dead mother. They were all smart people, so naturally they knew that

What does it mean to be broken through the defense line of the Sierra Madre. Maybe the protesters will rush into the White House tomorrow.

"His Excellency President, we must block the news and we must not let the news leak out anyway. Otherwise, the angry people will directly overthrow them!" Secretary of State Frand Knox said in some horror. Previously, the United States had been

The government has always claimed to the public that the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains is as solid as a rock. But now, the defense line has been broken by the Chinese, and those people will definitely think that they have been fooled by the government. He can't imagine what will happen at that time.

It's right.

"His Excellency Secretary of State, it is impossible to block the news. Our opponents must have known this news, and they will definitely spread the news. What we need to do now is how to stabilize the battle situation on the front line.

Admiral Weiss proposed to build a central defense line with Mexico City as the core. The Ministry of War and the Army Staff believe it is feasible and we should now provide support to Lieutenant General Davis immediately, not only troops, but also air defense weapons.

Wait. Otherwise, once the Chinese army advances straight, they are likely to invade the United States!" said War Minister Meyer.

The words of War Minister Meyer made everyone's face change. Whether it is the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, or even former President Theodore.

The Progressive Party formed by Roosevelt all had close ties with the US Army. Maybe just when they were in the meeting, President Taft's opponents had already learned the relevant news and had taken action to prepare.

Give President Taft a good look.

"Secretary Dickinson, give orders to the commander of the military police, requiring the military police forces to immediately supervise major newspapers and radio stations, and be sure to block the news." President Taft said with a dark face.

"But Your Excellency the President, if we do this, it will probably arouse further opposition from the people!" Minister Dickinson said with some concern.

"It is wartime now, and as the president of the United States, I have the highest right. If the news of defeat spreads, it will affect the stability of the United States and will be very unfavorable for our next step of fighting against the invasion of the Chinese. According to my orders

Do it! If something happens, I will be fully responsible!" President Taft said. He had no other way, so he could only jump over the wall.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President. So what about General Davis' request?" Secretary Dickinson asked.

"Tell General Davis that the government agreed with his suggestion that he led the U.S. troops to establish a central defense line in Mexico City. At the same time, the government would give him enough support. The Army General Staff immediately dispatched ten troops to twenty troops to go to Mexico.
