In 1607, the British came to the Atlantic coast of North America and began to establish the first civil settlement, Virginia.《》/《》/
After continuous colonization, by the 1730s, the British had established 13 colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America. During this period, a large number of immigrants immigrated to North America, most of them British, many from other European countries, and many others.
Few black slaves were trafficked from Africa. They made important contributions to the development of North America.
On April 19, 1775, the people of Boston fired the first shot of the Revolutionary War over Lexington. The gunfire at Lexington kicked off the American Revolutionary War. The North American militia in Lexington
In April 1775, Thomas Gage, the governor of Massachusetts and commander-in-chief of the garrison, received news that there was a secret arms warehouse of the "Committee of Correspondence" in the town of Concord, not far from Boston. Gage immediately ordered Major France to
Smith and John Pitcairn led 800 British troops to destroy the militia in order to demoralize the militia. The troops set off overnight. In the early morning of April 19, they arrived at Lexington, a small village 6 miles away from Concord.
.
The British army marched forward in the predawn mist after a night's march.
They were all sleepy and yawning. Suddenly, they found more than 70 villagers standing on the grass outside the village, holding long guns and waiting in full array. Smith knew that these armed villagers were the Lexington militia, and residents of the colonies on the North American continent were all
They were called "One Minute Men" because they moved very quickly. As soon as they heard the alarm, they could assemble within a minute and immediately go into battle. What surprised Smith was how these militiamen knew the British army's actions so quickly.
What? It turned out that the scouts of the "Committee of Communications" had already obtained the information and hung a red light on the top of the Boston church. The messenger of the "Committee of Communications", the engraver Paul Revere, immediately saw it.
He rode to Lexington, notified the anti-British leader Samuel Adams who was hiding there to evacuate, and then rushed to Concord to call the police.
When Smith saw that there were only a few dozen people on the other side, he immediately relaxed his nervousness. Pitcairn did not take these ragtag militiamen seriously and ordered them to surrender. But the militiamen headed by Jonas Parker refused.
After meeting the British army's request, Pitcairn ordered the British army to surround the militiamen. In the chaos, someone did not know who fired, and a fierce battle broke out. After a few minutes, the gunfire gradually became sparse, and 8 militiamen were killed and 10 wounded.
The commander quickly evacuated the battlefield and hid himself. Only one British soldier was injured.
Smith was very proud of his victory in the first battle and directed his soldiers to go straight to Concord. When the British army arrived at the town, it was already broad daylight and the sun was rising, but there was no one in sight on the streets. Every house was closed and deserted.
Smith ordered a search, and the British troops went into each house and rummaged through boxes and cabinets. After struggling for a long time, they found nothing. It turned out that the militiamen had already moved the warehouse and the leaders of the "Communications Committee" had also gone into hiding. Smith felt that something was not good about the situation - and quickly
The order was given to retreat. At this time, there were shouts of killing outside the town and gunfire suddenly broke out. The militiamen from nearby villages and towns had received the news and came to Concord from all directions. They surrounded the retreating British troops. They ambush behind the fence and bushes.
In the bushes, on the roofs of houses, and at street corners, they fired at the British troops. The British troops fell to the ground one after another, but when the British troops raised their guns to fight back, not even the shadow of the militiamen could be found. The British troops marched all the way towards Boston.
They retreated, but were constantly attacked by militiamen along the way, and were in a state of panic.
The battle continued until dusk, and finally a reinforcement force from Boston rescued Smith and others. On this day, the British army suffered 273 casualties and the militiamen lost 95 people. The remaining British army ran out of ammunition.
Looking back, I was still frightened. It was the first time they tasted the iron fist of the colonial people. One soldier said: "I haven't eaten anything for 48 hours. My hat was blown off three times and two bullets penetrated my jacket. My bayonet also
Got knocked out."
The gunfire at Lexington shook the 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast. The American Revolutionary War began.
In August 1781, British Commander Cornwallis led 7,000 British troops to retreat to Yorktown at the tip of the Virginia Peninsula. At this time, the British army in the entire North American battlefield was mainly concentrated in New York and Yorktown. August 1781·Washington
He personally led the French and American forces to secretly march south to Virginia. At the same time, the French fleet led by De Grasse also arrived at the sea outside Yorktown, defeated the British ships that came to the rescue, and completely controlled the sea power in the theater. On September 28, 17,000 French and American troops
The coalition forces completed the siege of Yorktown from both land and sea.
Under the heavy bombardment of the Allied artillery, Cornwallis was desperate and requested surrender negotiations on October 17, 1781, the fourth anniversary of Burgoyne's surrender. On October 19, 8,000 British troops walked out
In Yorktown, when the neatly dressed red-shirted troops walked past the ragged American troops and put down their weapons one by one, the military band played the famous movement "The world is turned upside down"!
After the Battle of Yorktown, except for a few battles at sea and sporadic battles on land, the war on the North American continent had basically stopped. On November 30, 1782, representatives of the United States and Britain signed a preliminary armistice treaty in Paris, and in September 1783
On the 3rd, representatives of the British King and colonial representatives signed the 1783 Treaty of Paris at the Palace of Versailles, and the United Kingdom formally recognized the establishment of the United States of America. The peace treaty contained 10 articles. Article 1 of the peace treaty stipulated: "His Majesty the King recognizes the United States as an autonomous and independent nation.
Country". The content also includes: confirming that the boundaries of the United States extend from the Atlantic coast in the east to the Mississippi River in the west, to the Canadian Great Lakes in the north, and to the northern border of Florida in the south. The two peoples will henceforth be in eternal peace, and all hostilities at sea and on land will cease.
Release prisoners of war to each other; Britain withdraws all troops and ships from all ports, areas, and harbors in the United States.
The signing of the peace treaty marked Britain's formal recognition of the independence of the United States, giving the United States complete independence!
At that time, no country in the world could have imagined that a great country would be born.
In 1835, the United States incited the planters in Texas, Mexico, to rebel and annexed it to the United States. Mexico sent troops to suppress it. The United States sent troops to occupy Texas and invaded Mexico. On May 23, Mexico declared war on the United States. In May 1846
On the 18th, Taylor led the U.S. troops south to occupy Matamos, Monterey in September, and Saltillo in November. In June of the same year, Carney led 1,700 U.S. troops to march westward and capture Mexico and California. In February 1847, Taylor
The troops defeated 14,000 Mexican troops led by Mexican President Santa Anna in Buena Vista. In March, Commander-in-Chief Scott led 10,000 U.S. troops to land in Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico. On the 29th, the U.S. troops captured Veracruz.
Russ. On April 18, the US military defeated President Santa Anna's main force and staff. On May 5, the US military occupied Puebla and approached Mexico City. In August, US reinforcements arrived, and the US military defeated Mexico again in Contreras.
The two sides held peace talks, but the negotiations broke down on September 7. On September 8, the US military launched an attack on Mexico City and was repulsed. On the 12th, the US military occupied the high ground outside the city and shelled the city walls. On the 14th, the US military invaded Mexico City. On the 16th,
The Japanese took control of the entire city and implemented martial law. In October, the Mexican president was removed from office.
On November 11, 1847, Anjo was elected as the interim president of Mexico. In January 1848, the two sides began peace talks. On February 2, the two sides signed a peace treaty, and Mexico ceded Texas, New Mexico, and Alta California. On June 112, 1848, the U.S. Army
Evacuation of Mexico City ends the war.
Through this small-scale war, the United States seized 2.3 million square kilometers of land and became a transatlantic and Pacific power, which is rare in the world.
Mexico lost most of its territory and was seriously injured. The United States has since gained its dominant position in the Americas!
Through the Mexican-American War, the United States not only gained a large territory, but also greatly enhanced its confidence as a great power. In the subsequent World War I, the United States gained huge benefits from it.
Originally, World War II was also an opportunity for them, but unfortunately, at this critical moment, they chose to break with China.
Therefore, when China fully intervened in the European war, the nightmare for the United States also followed.
China, which had won the war against Britain, had already aimed its war spear at their last goal on this earth:
USA!
A fierce war between China and the United States is inevitable, and what is even more terrible is that this war is about to break out on American soil.
On March 30, 1944, just before Britain was about to surrender, Mexico announced that it would join the Axis Powers and declare war on the United States!
The U.S.-Mexico War was a crucial war in the history of the expansion of the American continent and the westward movement. It not only promoted the formation and development of the United States as an economic power, but also intensified the contradiction between northern industrial capital and southern slavery, becoming the precursor of the American Civil War.
Likewise, Mexico lost half of its territory in the war, and hatred of the United States remained in Mexico ever since.
Now, the world situation has undergone a complete change, which also gives Mexico hope to regain its lost territory.
Prior to this, China, Germany, and Mexico had signed an agreement to complete the agreement. Once the war against the United States is victorious, the territory lost by Mexico will be completely returned to Mexico's hands.
This is exactly what Mexico has been waiting for!
On the day the war was declared, Mexico immediately dispatched its troops to attack Texas, and the Second U.S.-Mexico War broke out!
After the outbreak of the U.S.-Mexican War, the Chinese Air Force also launched bombings on the U.S. mainland.
The all-out attack on the United States has begun!
Like the British, the Americans also did not expect this day to happen.
The United States is gradually replacing the United Kingdom as the world's most powerful country, but at this most critical moment, history has taken a turn and headed for another road.
Now it seems that the United States has little hope of victory. After France and Britain surrendered one after another, all the advantages of the United States, which has unique geographical advantages, have turned into disadvantages.
They would have to face the Axis attack alone.
"We will never give up, never compromise!" After the Axis powers launched a full-scale attack on the United States, U.S. President Cornwell S. Pitt issued the following message to the American people:
"Although the war situation is very bad, the American people will never give up any hope. Every American will bravely take up arms and fight our enemies to the end. Any enemy who tries to defeat us will be defeated in this land.
Nothing is gained from the land. I call on the people of the United States to unite and fight hard for a common goal. I implore every American people to bleed and sacrifice for the integrity of the country! We will not be afraid of Mexico's attack, we will not be afraid
Germany's attack will also not be afraid of China's attack. We firmly believe that the goddess of victory must be on our side.
Citizens of the United States, please remember that the United States is a country that never surrenders. Whether in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War, the side representing justice has won, and now we will also achieve another greatest victory -
."
Peter's speech was delivered to President Wang Hengyue at the first opportunity.
Wang Hengyue did not read Peter's speech carefully. From this speech, Wang Hengyue could feel that Peter was deeply influenced by him.
"We are finally going to attack the United States." Jiang Baili's words revealed infinite emotion: "Going forward a few years, we never thought that one day we would launch a war with the United States, which was once our strongest ally.
, but everything has changed too much since Pete came to power.
I still remember Pete when he was a kid and our best friend, but now."
"Pete will come back. He is just a lost child now." Wang Hengyue's words were full of conviction: "I feel that I owe him many things. The interests between the two countries have defeated each other's friendship. When the war is over...
We will sit together and continue to be friends, best best friends."
Speaking of this, Wang Hengyue suppressed his emotions and turned his attention to Dai Li, who came to Europe with him: "What was the reaction in the United States after Pete's speech?"
Dai Li did not hesitate: "The United States is divided into two groups with completely different mentality. One group was inspired by Pitt's speech and believed that the United States will definitely win this war. The other group is much more pessimistic and believes that the United States is now isolated and helpless. With a
The country must face the attack of the entire Axis powers, and there is basically no chance of winning. They believe that negotiation is the best option and the most beneficial way for the United States, and there are many people who agree with this group."
"Let the mood of surrender become more intense." Wang Hengyue said calmly: "In order to increase the bombing intensity against the United States, we must firmly control the air control in our own hands. We need the sky, and we need to throw our secret weapons into the sky.
The United States will use the minimum cost to end this war as soon as possible."
Jiang Baili knew what the so-called "secret weapon" was, and he also fully understood the terrifying nature of the secret weapon. Once such a weapon came out, it would have terrible destructive power on the whole world.
"There will be accidental injuries, and it will have a great impact on the whole world. Its poison will even last for decades." Wang Hengyue's expression was full of complexity: "But such a price must be endured by the whole world. We will give the United States
The deadline for the ultimatum is April 30, 1944. If we cannot get a satisfactory answer before this time, terrible revenge will come to the United States and major cities in the United States will be destroyed."
Jiang Baili and Dai Li looked at each other silently and sighed quietly in their hearts.
This is a terrible disaster, and such a disaster is getting closer and closer to the United States. When the disaster comes, the huge United States will collapse.
Obviously, the president struggled for a long time in his mind whether to use this secret weapon, but he finally enabled the use of this secret weapon.
The President will not allow the war to drag on any longer.
The war has come to an end. If conventional weapons are used to fight, the United States may be able to continue for another year or longer.
But this has serious conflicts with China's idea of rebuilding a new world order as soon as possible.
Wang Hengyue seemed to see scenes that he could foresee appearing in front of his eyes:
Clouds of smoke will rise in major cities in the United States, the social and economic order of the United States will be completely destroyed, and Americans will wail in horrific explosions.
What will he be called? Murderer? Murderer? Butcher? Or some other more unpleasant nickname? But this is not important to Wang Hengyue.
What is important is that he is about to help China eliminate one of its most important enemies in the process of becoming stronger, and he will help China determine its status as the world's most powerful country.
Let them be slandered by future generations. I have a clear conscience. Even if I will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history in the future, I will not hesitate.
Maybe the American people are innocent, but once the war starts, how many innocent people will be innocently involved?
"Heng Shuai, the war is almost over, should Yu Yun and the others evacuate them, right?" Dai Li suggested cautiously.
Wang Hengyue was silent, and then nodded silently: "Yes, it's time for them to evacuate. Yu Yun spent the best years of her life in the United States and dedicated them to her country. She is still here today.
She is not married because her mission has not yet been completed. There are many people like Yu Yun, and the country owes them."
Yes, the country owes them, and now that the war is about to be won, it will make up for it to them. But what can it make up for them? Their best years have been lost.
