The Rise of Australia

Chapter 696 Public Opinion Attack

Under the premise of large-scale military deployment, the garrison of 500 people will not have any effect on the situation in Samoyed.

The bombing began on July 5, and American Samoyed fell on July 5.

Maybe someone wants to say that it is impossible to kill all the American troops in the bombing. Won't the remaining people resist?

If the massacre in Washington (the massacre of veterans) had not happened, perhaps some passionate young people would have sacrificed their lives for the country.

But in today's United States, even soldiers will take the lead in choosing to save their own lives. After all, the U.S. government will not treat their families well for their own sacrifice.

Post-war statistics showed that the bombing resulted in the death of more than 100 American soldiers and the injury of more than 200 American soldiers.

Only a few dozen American soldiers were killed, and the rest either died from the collapse of air defense fortifications or from excessive bleeding from their wounds.

But don't expect to get good medical care in a small place like American Samoyed.

Forget the usual minor wounds and ailments. If he really suffered an injury like a broken arm or leg, he would either be transported to the United States for treatment, or he would have to wait to die on the way.

This is also the reason why American soldiers surrendered so quickly. After all, the journey to the United States is too long. If they are seriously injured, they will most likely die on the way.

On the afternoon of July 5, Silvio watched with satisfaction as many American soldiers raised their hands to formally surrender to Australasia.

There were many reporters from the media and newspapers taking photos frantically nearby. The photos of the surrender of American soldiers would also become the best selling point of their news.

News of the photos of Chinese soldiers surrendering in July has been published in major newspapers and media in the United States.

Along with this photo, sent to the American people, was a "Letter to the American People" officially drafted by the World Alliance.

This is actually a formal letter of persuasion to surrender. In this letter of persuasion, the World Alliance mentioned: "This war was entirely caused by the sins of the United States in the influenza, and it was a just war to judge the sins of the United States. .”

The surrender letter also specifically mentioned: "The current actions of the United States are against the whole world, and the World Alliance believes that this is not what the American people think.

If the American people cherish their lives and are unwilling to sacrifice their precious lives for the evil US government, please stay away from American cities, train stations, docks, factories and coastal ports, because these areas of the United States will be bombed next.

The World Alliance even advocates that the American people take up arms and fight against the evil villain government, fighting for the beautiful peace of mankind and for mankind all over the world. "

At the end of the surrender letter, the World Alliance also specifically mentioned that anyone who joins the US army will be attacked indiscriminately by the World Alliance troops.

In this regard, the World Alliance hopes that the American people can see the real situation clearly and stop fighting for the wrong government.

Such letters of surrender and photos of American soldiers surrendering are undoubtedly the current hot spots, and were quickly forwarded and reported by media around the world.

Some media outlets, in order to sell their newspapers, even come up with more attractive headlines, such as

"The country belongs to the capitalists, but life is yours!"

"The president is just a puppet of the consortium, and there is no need for Americans to sacrifice their lives for the consortium."

"Wilson, Coolidge and Hoover should bear their own fault, not the fault of all Americans."

These reports cannot cause any harm to a country with a unified nation, and can even be said to be jokes after the war.

But for the United States, a country of immigrants, it can definitely shake the foundation of the country of immigrants.

After all, to put it bluntly, the vast majority of immigrants in the United States come from Europe. The current real situation is that the United States is at war with most European countries.

Most immigrants have their own home country, and many immigrants even retain deep feelings for their hometown.

Especially immigrants who came to the United States in recent decades suddenly have to fight against their original hometown, or even against their relatives and friends in their hometown. Only those immigrants understand this discomfort.

Because of this, a large number of American people took to the streets and demanded that the government do everything possible to end the war, and even agree to the request of the coalition forces.

Many slogans in the parade directly pointed the finger at the consortium, saying that since the consortium has made most of the wealth of the United States, it should assume the responsibility of protecting the country, instead of letting civilians like them go to the front line unprepared. Directly dedicating his life to the so-called protection of the country.

This situation is a huge blow to the US government, and the most serious damage is the ongoing expansion of the US military.

Originally, the army expansion was not going smoothly. The recruitment offices in various places were almost empty every day. So far, they can only expand the number of the army to more than 100,000.

This kind of recruitment progress is considered slow in any country, let alone the United States, which has the second largest population among the great powers.

If such a parade breaks out now, there will be no need to think about it. There will be almost no soldiers in the future.

In the White House of the United States, President Hoover almost turned gray with worry, frowning as he listened to the government's reports.

"Mr. President, we must change the current bad status quo. If we cannot get the people to go to the recruitment office willingly, we can prepare in advance for post-surrender matters." The commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army, who is also the person in charge of military expansion, told Hu President Buddha said bluntly.

"How's our draft going now?" President Hoover asked.

"So far, the total number of our soldiers is only about 110,000." The army commander shook his head helplessly and reported a pitiful-looking number.

"Damn, why are there only 110,000 people?" President Hoover was dumbfounded. He obviously underestimated the people's resistance to the draft.

"The situation we are facing now is that many recruits have already thought about retiring. If we cannot change the current situation, Mr. President, we should consider surrendering!" As the saying goes, a clever woman can't make a meal without straw, even if the military leader Most of them are hawks and cannot face such a war without even the resources for troops.

The enemy's army has at least 800,000 troops, while the U.S. army has only 110,000, of which more than 30,000 are recruits.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the two armies, the huge disparity in the number of soldiers alone has determined that the US Army will not have any chance to resist.

A drop of spit from each of 800,000 people is enough to drown the U.S. army, not to mention that the enemy holds thermal weapons that can cause huge casualties.

"First improve the treatment of those recruits, and at the same time increase the salary of all soldiers." President Hoover rubbed his brows and issued his order: "Make an announcement to the outside world that as long as you join the army, you will receive your first month's salary on the same day. .

In addition, the government provides various subsidies to the families of soldiers, including but not limited to the distribution of food, relief subsidies during economic crises, etc.

I don't believe that this can't attract troops. There will always be people who are interested in money and the benefits they get, right? "

This method is indeed a helpless choice. Propaganda alone can no longer attract troops, so we can only attract people with actual benefits.

After all, the population of the United States is over 100 million, so there will always be people who are attracted by these conditions. As long as one person among 100 people is moved, the U.S. military can easily gather 1 million people.

"Yes, Mr. President!" the Army Commander breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly.

He was afraid that President Hoover would not be willing to pay any price, and it was obvious that soldiers could not be obtained by relying on words alone.

At least for now, if President Hoover is willing to spend a lot of money, it should not be a problem to first double the number of the Army several times.

After all, there are tens of millions of unemployed people in the United States. It is easy to find hundreds of thousands of young people willing to join the army among these people.

Although many people are dissatisfied with the country, but if they don't have enough to eat, wouldn't joining the army be an attractive job?

"Mr. President, I'm afraid the first thing we have to guard against is the resistance of the states to this war." At the conference table, the new US Secretary of State said to President Hoover with a serious face.

“Based on our current intelligence, a considerable number of federal states have expressed dissatisfaction with this war, and some governors have even made it clear that they will not support this war and have asked the people to refuse to join the army.

Judging from the current situation, if the enemy really launches an indiscriminate large-scale bombing against us, I am afraid that there is a high probability that these states will betray us. "Secretary of State Lights said with a somewhat pale face.

To put it bluntly, the federal system of the United States means that the states unite together and everyone has the same goal to live a good life.

In normal times, there won't be any problems with this kind of physique, and a little problem won't hurt at all.

But when the country's survival is at stake, federal states will inevitably have other thoughts. Even brothers have moments of rebellion, not to mention the forcibly pieced together federal system of states in the United States.

"Fuck! These damn bitches will cause trouble!" President Hoover couldn't help it. He cursed several times angrily, and then, as if he had lost his mind, he weakly ordered: "The Department of War will conduct close inspections of these federal states." Monitoring. If necessary, I allow the Army to take strong measures against these state governments and even directly impose military control."

It seems that President Wilson and President Coolidge have suffered huge infamy, but in fact it was only because of "little things" such as the flu and the economic crisis, which did not have such a serious impact on the country of the United States.

But the war President Hoover faced this time was different. If this war fails, or if the states find the opportunity to become independent, it will directly harm the foundation of the United States, and it will even be a question whether the United States will exist by then.

Under such circumstances, even President Hoover, who was originally full of confidence, had already understood the seriousness of the matter.

For President Hoover, the worst he could do was break up with these states, but it was at least better than these states declaring independence in advance.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Secretary of State Lester said with a wry smile: "According to the federal constitution, doing so will make the government talk. More importantly, our military cannot control all states. There will always be something wrong. Omission.

If some states prepare to resist in advance, even a small number of police and militiamen will be enough to pose a major threat to us.

Even, Mr. President, before the enemy actually reaches the United States, we may be about to have a civil war! "
