Major General John Pershing suffered a great blow, and his original confidence also collapsed at this moment.//// After losing the army of Brigadier Davis, the US military was stationed.
The Second and Third Army that fought in Mexico were completely wiped out, with only one First Army left. Moreover, the loss of the First Army was not small, and it was defeated by the Chinese cavalry brigade at the beginning.
After a 15th Division, a lot of troops were lost in the delayed battles behind it. Now there are only less than 40,000 troops left.
Seeing that the Second and Third Army were both eliminated by the Chinese, even Lieutenant General John Bates, the US Supreme Commander in Mexico, surrendered. Major General James Belle, the commander of the First Army, naturally did not continue to fight.
The courage is gone. Even if Major General John Pershing repeatedly stated that the Chinese people had few weapons and ammunition, as long as the First Army launched an attack on the Chinese army, they would definitely win in the end. However, for Major General John Pershing's suggestions
How could Major General James Bell listen? At that time, he led his army away from Ohocarent, retreated all the way north, and retreated to Saltier in the north before stopping.
On March 10, the 12th Division of the Chinese Army landed in Mexico and arrived at the battlefield five days later. At the same time, supplies and weapons and ammunition mobilized north from Mexico City were also sent, which once again restored the Chinese army.
Combat power. However, due to the deterioration of the Mexican war, the United States once again drew two armies from the country to strengthen its defense against northern Mexico. Moreover, the US military did not seem to have the intention to go south, and they were already afraid of being beaten by the Chinese army.
Even if the troops are several times more powerful than the Chinese army, they will not dare to take the initiative to launch an attack!
The Chinese army suffered a considerable loss in the previous stage. In particular, the 11th Division of the Army had nearly half of tens of thousands, and the replenished forces needed to be mobilized from the country. At the same time, officers and soldiers were generally physically and mentally exhausted, and their combat power was also affected.
It had a very big impact. The Chinese army was temporarily unable to launch a large-scale attack. For a time, the war in northern Mexico became calm. China and the United States entered a stalemate in northern Mexico.
In mid-March, the U.S. military failed in northern Mexico, and the news that tens of thousands of people were captured caused an uproar around the United States. Some radicals asked the United States to send more troops and drive all the Chinese out of the sea to feed fish. However,
More people organized anti-war marches. Especially the relatives of captured officers and soldiers, they asked the government to hold talks with the Chinese side immediately to save their relatives back to the United States. For a time, the Theodore Roosevelt government was messed up.
Very embarrassed!
"We want peace, not war!" "Please save our loved ones!"
Hundreds of Americans, holding slogans, protested in front of the White House gate. The White House guards formed a human wall and blocked these Americans outside the White House. At the same time, the guards stationed in the White House were ready for battle, as long as these
If people dare to attack the White House, they will open fire. Of course, they are unwilling to happen. If a bloodshed occurs in front of the White House, this administration will be criticized by the people!
In the White House, in the office of President Theodore Roosevelt. Cabinet members are discussing how to deal with the current crisis. Cigars are burning, making the entire office smoke. President Theodore Roosevelt's beautiful woman
Secretary, you have already hid!
President Theodore Roosevelt stood by the window and looked at the protesting crowd outside the White House. Even though the window was closed tightly, he seemed to be able to hear the protests from the people. This made him feel very disgusted.
OK, I don't understand why it turned out like this!
President Theodore Roosevelt put down the curtains and returned to his position, looked at the cabinet members, and said, "Tell me, what should we do now? Newspapers across the United States are accusing the army of the army in Mexico
Failure in the North!”
"Your Excellency the President, I'm very sorry! We still underestimated the combat power of the Chinese. Although they only have one-third of our troops, they can still defeat us easily. It seems that the gap between us and the Chinese is still very large.
Big!" Secretary of War Elihu Rut said first. The war was like this, which made him lose face! Relying on his strong industrial strength, the strength of the US Army has developed greatly in recent years, at least in
In terms of weapons and equipment, it is not far from the equipment of the Chinese Army. However, the final result is that the US military was defeated, which makes Elihu Rutt and the generals of the US Army feel very ashamed.
!
In this war that took place in northern Mexico, the US military's strength was three times that of the Chinese army, and they were still fighting at home, but they were still beaten up by China to find teeth. It is conceivable that this will be
What kind of impact does the United States have?
"The whole world knows the strength of the Chinese army. Apart from the German army, I'm afraid no country's army can compare with them! However, since we see the gap, we must catch up.
The failure is not terrible. If we break out in a full-scale war with China and still lose to the Chinese, that is the most terrible thing!" said President Theodore Roosevelt.
"His Excellency President, the Chinese do not seem to have the intention of breaking out a full-scale war with us. They have stopped attacking!" Secretary of State John Hay said.
"No attack now does not mean that there will be no attack. Although the Chinese defeated us, their losses are not small. Reinforcements from an infantry division of the Chinese have arrived in northern Mexico. In addition, based on the information we received
The Chinese will draw an army from their homeland to the Eastern Pacific region, which may be deployed to Hawaii or directly transported to Mexico!" said War Minister Elihu Rut!
Hearing that the Chinese continue to increase their troops, the cabinet members present were a little nervous. Although the United States can continue to increase their troops, the total strength of the US Army is only 600,000. In addition to the troops defending the West Coast, they can be transferred at most.
Just 400,000 people. Two hundred thousand people have been sent to northern Mexico, and more than 100,000 people have been lost. If the Chinese continue to increase their troops, the United States can only mobilize immediately and fight a big battle with the Chinese.
Prepare!
"Can you find out how many troops are there in the Chinese reinforcements?" asked President Theodore Roosevelt. If it were only one or two divisions, perhaps the Chinese would not have the idea of fighting a full-scale war. If it was a group of troops
, then the United States has to be on guard!
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the President. The actions of the Chinese are very confidential. We have not received any exact information yet! However, my simple army will mobilize secretly first. We need to add at least 25 divisions to ensure the security of the country!" Minister of War Yi
Lexue Rutt said.
"Okay! The Army can mobilize!" Theodore Roosevelt thought for a moment, and then said. No matter what China's intention is, the United States is always right to be prepared!
"His Excellency President, if we start mobilizing, will we give the Chinese a wrong signal to intensify the conflict between the two sides?" Secretary of State John Hay said with some concern. You must know that such a situation is very likely to happen.
China is entirely likely to regard the US mobilization as a preparation for war and take corresponding actions. In this way, the possibility of a war breaking out between China and the United States will greatly increase!
"Secretary of State, we will try our best to keep it as secret as possible!" said War Minister Elihu Rut. He also knew that now is not the time to fight China, and neither the United States is ready, both the Army nor the Navy!
"Everyone, why can't we change the way? Do we have to fight the Chinese? Now we are not ready for a full-scale war, so the Chinese are the same. Otherwise, they would not have restrained their troops from investing in Mexico
You should know that in the war a few years ago, they were enough to support hundreds of thousands of people to fight on our west coast. A few years later, the Chinese could support at least 500,000 troops to fight in the Americas! If China
Can we resist the fact that people invest 500,000 troops at one time?” said Navy Secretary William Henry Moody. In this battle, the Navy basically did not play any role. As for William Ban, commander of the U.S. Navy East Coast Fleet.
Admiral Sen's combat plan to escort the U.S. Army to land in central Mexico and take direct Mexico City was also denied because of fear of provoking a direct total war between China and the United States!
"If we had negotiated with the Chinese now, would the Chinese accept it?" Finance Minister L?m? Xiao also asked. The outbreak of the war was all about money! China and the United States had been fighting in northern Mexico for a long time.
It was short, but a large amount of funds had been spent like flowing money, which made him feel very distressed!
"If the Chinese really don't want to break out of a full-scale war with us, maybe they will accept the peace talks. But what is our bottom line?" Secretary of State John Hay asked. Now, the United States is at a disadvantage in the war.
If you want to fight for peace talks, you may pay a certain price!
"We can default to the establishment of the new Mexican government. However, we must take several states in northern Mexico into our hands! Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the United States!" President Theodore Roosevelt said. China and the United States must be in the future.
He firmly believed in this when there was a battle. After China acquired Mexico, it would inevitably pose a serious threat to the United States. If it could obtain several states in northern Mexico, at least the United States could establish a line of defense abroad!
