The Rise of Australia

Chapter 712 Shocking Changes—MacArthur’s Ambition

The worst has come for the U.S. military.

In just a few hours, General Pershing received two pieces of bad news from the rear and the front. These two pieces of news also put the entire Northwest Front into a huge dilemma.

This is not over yet, and the purpose of the Australasian army is not that simple. In addition to encircling the Northwest Front, part of the Australasian army has already moved south to Minneapolis, intending to directly cut off the Northwest Front's retreat.

It can be seen from the map that there are only two routes for the Northwest Front to retreat. One is to retreat east to Minneapolis, and then go to the Great Lakes region, and the other is to follow the river south to Kansas, and then go straight to the eastern region.

If nothing else happens, the U.S. Northwest Front's retreat route will definitely be the first.

Because they also have the task of defending the Great Lakes Industrial Zone. If Minnesota is lost to Australasia, Wisconsin and Illinois will also become fish on Australasia's chopping board.

But now, the Australasian army has moved ahead of schedule, and the Northwestern Front's retreat route has almost been cut off.

General Pershing had only two options. One was to follow the river south to Kansas and then reorganize his defenses in Illinois.

Another option is to quickly retreat to Minnesota and start a decisive battle with the Australasian army in Minnesota.

But with less than 70,000 troops in General Pershing's hands, it would be very difficult to break through the encirclement of Australasia and achieve any kind of retreat.

General Pershing soon discovered that he no longer needed to make his own decisions.

Because just a few hours later, the reserve force in Carrington urgently reported that a large number of Australasian troops had been discovered, and a firefight had begun.

The troops in the rear stated that they could hold out for up to two hours. Without any support from the front, the enemy was likely to break through Carrington's defenses.

support?

General Pershing looked at the troop deployment map in his hand and smiled bitterly, already making a decision in his mind.

After losing the 7th Division, the number of troops in his hands has been greatly reduced. Currently, the number of troops that can support Carrington is only 5,000 at most, and weapons and ammunition are even more limited.

Such support might be able to hold off the Australasian army for a while, but for how long?

Carrington is less than 100 kilometers away from Bismarck, and the enemy is likely to have broken through Carrington's defenses before support arrives.

"Child, order the soldiers to put down their weapons and surrender." General Pershing looked at his messenger with a deathly expression, changed from his usual seriousness, and said very kindly.

"Your Majesty General," looking at General Pershing who seemed to have made a big decision, the herald was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief.

"I am a soldier. For soldiers, they can only accept death on the battlefield, but cannot accept being captured by the enemy alive.

My child, after I commit suicide, please bury my body. Tell all the soldiers of the North-Western Front to lay down their arms and stop resisting, and the Australasians will let them return home.

If possible, please tell all Americans on my behalf that this failure is my fault alone and has nothing to do with the soldiers.

Tell that guy Patton that I don't blame him for his decision, but he also has to ensure the safety of all the soldiers in the Northwest Front. Tell him that's what I said. "General Pershing said a lot to the ordering soldiers as usual about the funeral, and then waved his hand to signal the ordering soldiers to go down and deliver the order.

Then, looking at the empty temporary war room, General Pershing picked up the gun in his hand, opened the safety, and loaded the gun.

boom!

At the same time that the U.S. Northwest Front announced its surrender, the famous American general Pershing also died gloriously on the battlefield.

It was the second day that Patton received news of General Pershing's death in action. Patton's eyes instantly turned red when he heard that General Pershing committed suicide on the spot because he did not want to be captured.

Arriving at the Northwest Army's combat command room, Patton looked at the familiar furnishings and the freeze-dried blood on the table. He nodded silently and said, "Old guy, don't worry, I guarantee that all soldiers will be safe." to return to his hometown.

At the same time, I also guarantee that those who have made mistakes will be punished. The United States should be ruled by the American people, not those damned guys who have been corrupted by capital. "

After the surrender of the Northwest Front, there was no resistance in the north-central United States.

Just two days later, on the 1st, Minneapolis was captured, which also meant that the war had spread to the Great Lakes region.

This was not over yet. In less than ten days, a large number of Russian, Philippine and Kalimantan troops visited North and South Dakota and Nebraska, forcing the state governments of these three states to announce their withdrawal from the war.

The surrender of the Northwest Army was a heavy blow to the U.S. government.

Also in November, France conquered Louisiana and Oklahoma one after another, with the intention of joining forces with the Australasian army in Kansas.

It can also be seen from the map that the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas are exactly the dividing line between the east and west of the United States.

This also means that nearly half of the United States has fallen since the war began.

The surrender of the Northwestern Front was good news for the Union forces, which represented the loss of more than one-fifth of the available troops in American hands.

Although the United States is also continuously training its troops, the poor war situation has made many states understand that the United States will inevitably fail. This has led to the training speed of new recruits in the United States becoming slower and slower. On average, less than two new recruits are trained every month. Thousands of people.

On November 17, the British finally had good news.

Nearly one million troops are gathered in the northeastern United States. In addition to the 300,000 U.S. troops, the number of coalition soldiers has exceeded 500,000.

Where did the extra 100,000 troops come from? Of course it was the second reinforcement from Britain and France.

In order to gain more areas, the French promised to send at least 250,000 troops. At present, only 100,000 troops have been sent, which is still a long way from the French commitment.

Naturally, the British would not miss the opportunity to trick the French. At the strong request of the British, the second batch of French reinforcements of 100,000 people also arrived in mid-November and quickly joined the fight against the United States.

Of course, the British will certainly not fail to contribute. With the financial support of the British, nearly 20,000 people were recruited from Canada, and they also participated in the battle in the Northeastern United States.

Coupled with the superiority of the navy, after more than a month of offensive, the British finally pushed the front hundreds of kilometers south and now have fully occupied Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts.

The names of these states may seem unfamiliar, but in fact there is also a famous state.

Massachusetts is also called Massachusetts, and the famous MIT is located in this state.

Of course, there is also a famous city in Massachusetts called Boston, which is one of the largest cities in the eastern United States and is second only to New York in size.

It can be seen from the attack on Boston that the United States has been stubbornly resisting until now.

The number of troops deployed by the United States to the Northeast battlefield has been maintained at around 300,000, which is almost the limit of the U.S. government.

However, the number of the combined forces is still increasing, and the nearly twice the number difference has determined the direction of the entire battlefield.

In particular, the coalition forces also have a large navy and air force, which can not only support the coalition forces on the sea, but also have absolute advantages in the sky.

However, areas such as Boston and New York are all on the seaside and within the range of warships. This is also the reason why the coalition forces can quickly capture these cities.

In fact, by now, this war is very clear, and logically the US government should surrender.

But I don’t know what President Hoover was thinking. Even though he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of sea, land and air, President Hoover still had no intention of surrendering.

Even at a recent government meeting, President Hoover angrily denounced an official who proposed surrender, and directly and personally advocated for the official's removal from office.

This caused a stir for the U.S. government and made more officials think of finding a way out.

On November 23, several British people walked out of Florida State Government smiling.

The next day, the Florida government announced its withdrawal from the war and stated that it would hold an independence referendum in the near future.

Florida's action was the first to take the lead in the southeastern United States. In just one week, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama all announced their withdrawal from the war.

So far, the areas that the U.S. government can control, except Washington, D.C., are only a few surrounding states.

Before President Hoover could get angry, something bigger came.

On the 1st, MacArthur, who returned to Washington to report on his duties, launched a rebellion. The rebels quickly captured the White House and implemented emergency management in Washington.

MacArthur imprisoned President Hoover, the Army Commander-in-Chief, and some high-level government officials, and on that day announced the abolition of President Hoover's rule and the establishment of a military government.

Such huge changes in the United States quickly attracted the attention of the world. But what is surprising is that just the next day, MacArthur ordered all soldiers to surrender on the spot and issued a "Letter to the Americans"

In this public statement, MacArthur stated that the previous massacre in Washington was caused by President Hoover, and that behind the New York economic crisis there were also conglomerates including Boston and New York.

MacArthur stated that the U.S. military would never be loyal to President Hoover, and that he would establish a new rule on behalf of the military and abolish the corrupt U.S. government.
