Chapter 1138： America of the Americans (1/2)

Facing the aggressive mainland coalition forces, the colonial government of the British Indochina Peninsula was directly dumbfounded. The Indochina Peninsula, which has lost its sea rights, is like a house leaking on all sides, unable to withstand wind and rain.

Even ignoring the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides, the Indochina Peninsula alone cannot make up one million. But the enemy also has sea and air superiority and can attack from all sides.

The telegram for help reached London and then to India.

After the Battle of Malacca, the Far East route was interrupted. Even if local reinforcements are dispatched immediately, they have to detour from India.

Time waits for no one on the battlefield, and the mainland coalition forces have been killed. Now only India can support the British Indochina Peninsula.

After the outbreak of the hegemonic war, the Indian colonial army expanded rapidly, and its total strength has exceeded the four million mark.

The data on paper is absolutely strong. Even if the army of the Holy Roman Empire adds up, the total strength is less than three million.

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

My family knew what happened to my family, and Governor Robert Jervis knew what the four million-plus colonial army was.

Command, equipment, training, morale, there is no qualified army, you can imagine how effective it is.

If you really have combat effectiveness, you don't need to worry about being besieged by Russia and Austria, but they will send out to find the bad luck of the two countries.

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

At the same time, against the world's two major army powers and third-line operations, whoever encounters it will have a scalp.

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

Even if the enemy cannot be defeated, at least the enemy must be dragged on the Indochina Peninsula to buy time for the domestic break.

After hesitating for a long time, Governor Robert: ”Order the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army to rush south to strengthen the Indochina Peninsula.

Notify the person in charge of each department to come to a meeting at night to discuss matters concerning military expansion. ”

Obviously sitting on more than four million troops, but still feel that the troops are not enough. Thinking about it, I feel incredible, but reality tells Robert that he still has to continue to expand his army if he wants to keep India.

Hearing this appalling news, the assistant on the side quickly persuaded: ”Your Excellency, our army has expanded to the limit. I am afraid that we will continue to expand now...”

”I'm afraid that there are not so many. The enemy is coming fiercely, and our mobile force is insufficient. What can we do to resist if the army is not expanded?

If the number of grassroots officers is insufficient, they will be trained quickly, or they will be promoted directly from the veterans.

Insufficient weapons and equipment, so go to the private collection. Regardless of the weapon, as long as it can kill the enemy.

Moreover, the country has also given us strong support. Didn’t the two divisions’ equipment just be delivered yesterday? After the immediate urgency is passed, the rest will be fine. ”

It's not that Robert likes to use strong words and secretly change concepts. It is really difficult. As a governor, he must show confidence.

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

In order to satisfy everyone with a gun, even the flintlocks from the last century appeared in the army. The age of the artillery is even older than Governor Robert himself.

Regardless of how unreliable, it is better to have something than nothing. Pulling out to the field is not enough, the defensive fortifications can always play a role.

There is no way to do this, and the disorganized weapons are not limited to the Indian colonial army. Even the troops in the British Isles cannot guarantee uniform equipment.

It's not that the British government doesn't work hard, it's mainly due to inherent restrictions. As a sea power country, the British Army has long followed the ”short and tough” route.

In the capitalist world, ”market orders determine the scale of the industry”. The army has few orders, and the related industry chain is naturally not big.

A little understanding of the British military industry system will know that the army and military industry are basically dependent on the naval industry.

Purely relying on orders from the Army, I am afraid that even the industry chain cannot be maintained. After all, there are still few high-value-added equipment these years, 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 is a pity that this thing is not practical for Britain at all.

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

...

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

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

However, this is only the beginning. The American continent, lonely overseas, also failed to protect itself. Since the secret negotiations failed, the Ocean Alliance has launched an attack on the colonies of Shinra in the Americas.

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

Austrian Central America is a great area. Shenluo has been operating there for decades, with a population of over 10 million and a territory of more than one million square kilometers. Extreme mobilization can draw out a million troops.

Even if the enemy was besieged from the north and south, it still kept the wind down and even burned the flames of war to the hinterland of Mexico and Colombia.

Austrian South America can barely make do, although the local population is just over one million, it is not a problem to sit on the Andes and rely on the geographical advantage to block the enemy's attack.

Moreover, Shinra is not without allies in the Americas. Although there is no direct team, it is not difficult to delay the Ocean League.

Since the war, except for the fall of Alaska in North America, Shinra has never lost a large area of ​​territory.

Persimmon is looking for a soft pinch. If he can't beat the boss, he will look for the bad luck of the younger brother. Then Spain will be a tragedy.

The Americans, who had long coveted Cuba, couldn't bear their ambitions and stretched out the devil's hand to the Caribbean Sea.

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

The situation in the US-West Cuban War changed time, naturally, the situation was quite different. It was different from the one-sidedness of the original time and space, and now the war started to fall into anxiety.

Facts have proved that the American soldiers of this year are really not suitable for fighting. Even if they have an absolute quantitative advantage, they are suppressed and beaten by mercenaries.

If it weren't for the limited number of French mercenaries and they were unwilling to work for the Continental Alliance, the American troops who landed might have been cold.

It’s embarrassing to take a collective meal break on the three major battlefields. As the planner of this operation, Theodore Roosevelt only felt pressured.

There was a voice deep in his heart, constantly reminding him: you must work hard, otherwise you will be company with the hapless Lincoln and become the worst president since the founding of the United States.
