Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The tank on the right was obviously aroused, and fired several shells at Chen Jitang's command vehicle, but the Chinese tank man manipulated the tank to dodge them deftly, and took time to return a few shells.Subsequently, a Chinese tank came up as reinforcements, forming a double-team situation against the US tanks.The U.S. tank tried to break out of the siege several times, but this attempt was quickly discovered by the Chinese, who pinched it tightly from left to right, making it trapped on the battlefield and unable to move.

At this time, a nearby American tank numbered "a-11" found the trapped tank numbered "a-1", and immediately came up to reinforce it like crazy, and fired a bullet with all its might. One after another, the shells were fired in an attempt to repel the Chinese tanks and rescue their own tanks.

Chen Jitang quickly discovered the unusual behavior of the Americans. With a keen sense of smell, he immediately ordered: "Maybe we caught a big fish, otherwise the Americans would not be so desperate. There are no friendly troops nearby, please help, ask for support! "

At this time, whether it was the Chinese army or the American army, when the "Flagstaff Tank Battle" broke out, the formation had long been disrupted, and the two sides strangling together had no idea where their formation was at all. It just so happened that Du Yuming, the commander of the [-]rd Armored Division, was the closest to Chen Jitang at this time.

Du Yuming, who received the signal for help, immediately rushed to the battlefield where the commander was with a tank. He checked the serial number of the friendly tank and found that it was the commander's command vehicle. He said, "Commander, I'm Lao Du, what's going on here? "

"Maybe a big guy has been caught." Chen Jitang said relaxedly: "A-11, in order to rescue that a-1, the whole tank seemed to go crazy."

At this time, on this local battlefield, the ratio of tanks between the two sides is 4:2, and the Chinese army has an absolute advantage.But the two most advanced tanks in the United States, the "combatants", were not afraid, and formed a small line of defense, engaging in crazy artillery battles with Chinese tanks.

Du Yuming's tank made a detour from the left and hit the tank body of "a-11". All were burned alive in the tank.

Colonel Patton, commander of the US 1th Armored Division sitting in the "a-99" tank, closed his eyes in despair. He knew that his loyal subordinates were sitting in the destroyed "a-11". , Captain Ike.Captain Ike is dead, and I have one against four here, and maybe I will soon follow in Captain Ike's footsteps.

Colonel Patton suddenly felt that his tank was hit hard by something, and then the tanker beside him shouted in horror: "Colonel, we have been hit, please get out of here quickly!" After opening the top cover of the machine, several people forcibly hugged Colonel Patton and left the "a-1" tank that had become a pile of scrap iron.

As soon as he saw several tank crews coming out of the enemy tank, the machine gun on the Chinese tank was ready to fire immediately. The sharp-eyed Du Yuming found that there was an American colonel coming out of it, and he shouted anxiously: "Don't fire, Don't fire, let the infantry catch alive, let the infantry catch alive!"

Colonel Patton and his subordinates ran a few steps out of breath, and suddenly saw Chinese soldiers standing in front of them. He looked around in despair, but he didn't find his troops.Colonel Patton didn't want to be a prisoner, he smiled, drew a pistol from his waist, and pointed it at his temple sadly.

I was too impulsive. If I could judge the situation calmly at that time, maybe Captain Ike would not die, maybe I wouldn't have to face such a tragic ending, maybe death is my best ending.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out, Colonel Patton was hit on the right wrist, and the pistol fell to the ground. Before Colonel Patton could react, several glaring bayonets of the Chinese soldiers had already aimed at him...

Colonel Patton became a prisoner of the Chinese, and the Chinese emperor did not make things difficult for him. After several years in the prisoner-of-war camp, Patton was among the first to be released back to China. After that, he became a farmer.Patton, who was once all-powerful in history, was submerged in the long river of history like countless others.And with the capture of Colonel Patton. The "Flagstaff Tank Battle" is also coming to an end, and the fierce offensive of the Chinese army has become irresistible.

Roar of the Dragon Chapter 69 The Wheel of History

The fierce offensive of the Chinese armored forces is inevitable. The tanks made a rumbling noise and surrounded the US armored forces from several directions. The American tanks were continuously hit, emitting thick black smoke, and collapsed on the battlefield. .

Such a battle is cruel and unbearable for the Americans. They tried their best to organize a breakout, but under the strict artillery bombardment of the Chinese, such attempts were aborted one after another.With the capture of the commander, Colonel Patton, the 99th Armored Division of the U.S. Army fell into an unmanned situation. Almost every tank was fighting independently, which made them easily defeated by the Chinese army.

A swipe of the setting sun was passing over Lagesta, and the setting sun passed over the blood-red land, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, the wreckage of tanks was burning everywhere, and the corpses of soldiers lay in disorder on the battlefield.In the evening, the 108th Armored Division took the lead in giving up resistance and surrendering to the Chinese army.

Then the 107th and 109th armored divisions finally understood that if they continued to fight like this, they would only be buried on this battlefield. They could see no reinforcements, no hope of victory, and no hope of victory. There is no possibility of escaping here, and if they continue to fight like this, they have no choice but to die. They also followed in the footsteps of the 108th Armored Division and raised a white flag on their tanks.

Only the American officers and soldiers of the 99th Armored Division seemed to have inherited the character of their commander, Colonel Patton, clamoring to fire the last shell, and then frantically strafing with heavy machine guns.Such a move finally angered the Chinese soldiers. The 99st Chinese Armored Division and the [-]nd Lightning Armored Division of the SS, as well as a self-propelled artillery brigade, concentrated all their artillery fire, announcing the [-]th Armored Division of the US Army with crazy and violent artillery fire. completely destroyed.

With the annihilation of the 99th Armored Division, the "Flagstaff Battle" ended in an almost cruel way.

8 hours in this game.In the tank battle of unprecedented scale, 800 tanks of the US military participated in the battle.Nearly 500 tanks were destroyed, and 280 tanks became trophies of the Chinese army. Of the 50 U.S. soldiers, 7 were killed and 15 were captured.The Chinese army also suffered a lot of losses. 170 tanks lost the ability to continue fighting, 19000 people fell on the ground in Praguestaff, and 6000 people were missing.

"Battle is always cruel." Zhang Zuolin said sadly standing on the land that was full of gunfire and death an hour ago: "At the end of the war, there will be more than 2 Chinese soldiers who will never be able to fight again." Going back to my hometown. Zhongzheng, sometimes I wonder what we can do after the war is over. When we get older, maybe what we dream about every night is these sacrifices on the battlefield Brothers. To this day, I still can’t forget those brothers who died in the bloody battle in the Middle East. The more than 2000 soldiers of the Combat Engineer Corps, their regimental commanders, their battalion commanders, and every single soldier of them seem to be alive appeared before our eyes."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded silently: "Yes, the mission of our generation is to exchange war for peace, so what about the next generation? Can we continue to stabilize what we have obtained with blood? 40 years ago, Western powers used warships and The cannon opened our country, forcing us to sign one shameful treaty after another. 40 years later, we also opened their country with iron blood and bayonets, so what will the next 40 years be like? "

There was an explosion of thunder in the sky, which made people's ears hurt, gusts of wind swept past, stirring up dust all over the sky, and even made people feel a little unstable when they were blown, and then huge lightning bolts struck.

Covering his eyes with his hands, Chiang Kai-shek loudly instructed the Chinese soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield and escorting the captives not to panic.This weird gust of wind came and went quickly. I thought there would be a heavy rainstorm, but nothing happened.Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief, but soon found out that something was wrong.He reached out and touched his waist, and said strangely: "Where's my saber, where is my 'Iron Blood Sword' bestowed by the emperor?"

Zhang Zuolin looked at his waist and found that his saber was still there. He looked around but found nothing.Zhang Zuolin also said strangely: "Could it be that the gust of wind was so strong that it could blow away the knife? You guys, go look around and see if Zhongzheng's knife was blown somewhere."

At the end of the "Flagstaff Battle", the meeting of the most senior military and political officials of the Chinese Empire was held on American soil. This is a great irony for Americans.

Regarding the decisive battle between China and the United States, Guan Xuqing no longer has any doubts about whether the Chinese army can win the final victory. Now he plans to clean up the mess of the world after the battle, digest the fruits of victory, and form a new world order.

"By the end of 1920, our income in the Greater China Federation was 2900 billion dragon coins, and our income in the colonies was 1700 billion dragon coins." Finance Minister Tang Shaoyi said: "It is expected that this number will increase greatly in 1921. If Counting the indemnity that the United States will give us in the future, this figure will be astonishingly large, enough to support us to launch two or three large-scale wars anywhere in the world at the same time. However, by the end of the war, according to the statistics given to us by the military, It is estimated that within five to ten years, the world will be in a recovery period, and there will be no large-scale war discovery, so I plan to invest most of the funds in domestic construction.”

"Yes, the military's statistics are not wrong." Guan Xuqing nodded: "There may be sporadic conflicts in various countries in the world within five years, but large-scale wars will no longer be possible. During this period, the empire's The main policy is to accumulate national power to meet a greater challenge in the future. At the same time, as the leader of the new post-war world order, the empire will take on the important task of guiding and supervising the development of other countries, and we will station a large number of troops overseas , navy, air force, army, most of the cost of these garrisons will be borne by the country where they are located, but we will also bear part of them. Shaochuan, this money cannot be saved. These garrisons are of great significance to China, which means that in any country in the world As long as there is an armed conflict in a corner, our army will be able to arrive at the first time to stop or resolve such a military conflict. Military development cannot be slackened. The reason why the empire is invincible on the battlefield is that we are ahead of other countries. The country's advanced technological level."

Tang Shaoyi nodded. Now that his pockets are bulging, he is no longer haggling with the emperor for tens of millions of funds. Once upon a time, Tang Shaoyi could finally take off the hat of "stingy minister".

"There is one more thing." Guan Xuqing said: "Some imperial administrative agencies have to be merged in large numbers. Now the imperial administrative officials are too large. Some people go to work every day and don't know what to do except send and receive official documents. This will inevitably cause the imperial administrative agencies to handle affairs. Inefficiency, corruption will easily occur. I will greatly increase the salaries of officials to maintain honesty with high salaries; but at the same time, I will also greatly increase the punishment laws for official corruption. The above-mentioned officials may even be beheaded! I am not scaremongering. It takes decades or even hundreds of years of hard work to make a country strong, but it only takes a few years to collapse. Moths, moths of all empires, must Eliminate it with an iron fist. I am not afraid that people in the future will call me a murderous demon king. In order to maintain the strength of the empire, I am willing to bear such infamy!"

Every official present here knows the emperor's harsh handling of these matters. Back then, he dared to kill his own royal family without even frowning, not to mention those small officials.

Sheng Xuanhuai, Minister of Commerce and President of the Imperial Investment Bank, said: "After entering 1920, due to the outbreak of the Sino-US war, some wars that occurred within the sphere of influence of the empire have gradually ceased after the mediation of the empire. The former Indian Five The war between the two countries caused 15 armed forces and more than 100 million civilian casualties, resulting in an economic loss of 100 billion dragon coins. As for the successive "Holy City Wars", the casualties can only be described as tragic.At present, the Ministry of the Army has sent troops to maintain local peace and restore the local economic order. "

"Well, these troops will be called 'peacekeeping troops' from now on." Guan Xuqing suddenly became interested: "In the future, conflicts within the empire's sphere of influence can be dispatched to 'peacekeeping troops', and the 'United Nations' is responsible for all kinds of conflicts in the world. The handling of things must gradually improve its functions in the future, and it must not be just an empty shelf." Guan Xuqing paused and said: "Okay, now let us consider how to deal with the United States. The problems of this country must be solved. And it needs to be resolved once and for all.

Guan Xuqing knows very well that the threat of the United States to China cannot be truly disintegrated through war alone. Although this is a country with a short history, it has developed extremely rapidly in just over 200 years and has endless potential.To deal with such a country, since it has been fought, it must be beaten to death with a stick, so that it will never turn over, and eliminate a huge enemy for the future China in advance.

Guan Xuqing looked at the most senior military and political officials of the empire, and said slowly: "Don't doubt my determination to solve the problem. Since the matter has developed to this point, no matter what suggestions you make, as long as they are reasonable, I will definitely consider it.”

Imperial Prime Minister Liang Qichao hesitated for a while, and said: "As far as I know, the imperial military has successfully developed an astonishingly powerful weapon, which is large enough to destroy a city. Then, can we consider using this weapon? Total destruction of some important cities in the United States. Not only would it hit Americans hard psychologically, but I think it would bring the war to an early end."

Dragon's Roar Chapter [-] The future is in our hands

Guan Xuqing knew what he was referring to, he sighed, and said: "I also once wanted to use this weapon, but the reaction caused by this weapon will be chained and even catastrophic. Zhuo Ru said The most famous is the "atomic bomb". The power of an atomic bomb can level a large city, and its power lies in the fact that the damage it emits after the explosion can last decades or even hundreds of years. A bomb from the explosion From the beginning to the next few years, it will kill more than [-] people, and the descendants of the survivors will become deformed children, which is the most terrible disaster for the entire human race."

Speaking of this, Guan Xuqing looked at the expressions of everyone, obviously the emperor's words deeply stimulated them. "However, I will not use atomic bombs for the time being. This is just one of them." Guan Xuqing paused, and continued: "One or two atomic bombs will not end the war early, but will prompt other countries to rush to develop such weapons. For the empire itself, at least for now, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. What I mean is that before the next war breaks out, this kind of thing can be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, once the next war breaks out and atomic bombs are flying all over the sky, you can Imagine that devastating and horrific scene."

The officials let out a long breath. An atomic bomb war as the emperor said was indeed enough to destroy the entire human race.

"One more thing." Guan Xuqing's expression was a bit of a smile at this time: "Nuclear weapons are no longer exclusive to the empire, and more and more countries will have them in the future. People all over the world tacitly don't want to use them." This kind of terrible thing, but in future wars, no one can guarantee that a certain country will not use it at a critical moment, so after the Sino-US war, I decided to let the empire take the lead in signing the "nuclear treaty", and the empire will supervise other countries The responsibility of not possessing such a weapon, whether we say we are domineering or powerful, in short, for the benefit of the empire, we accept such infamy!"

The officials laughed, the emperor's actions were indeed a bit domineering, but, over the years.Is there anything he doesn't do?For the sake of this country, he really dared to do any kind of thing, the emperor was like a person who didn't care what other people said.However, some people also have a hidden worry. In the future, the emperor Bin Tianhou and the next successor will be as tough as him?

Guan Xuqing knew that it was impossible for a country to be iron-blooded forever, and it was indeed a good idea to have carrots and sticks at the same time.When I, and the next generation of emperors, use the efforts of two whole generations to lay the foundation of this country well and solidly, then the future successors, as long as there are no serious mistakes in national policy, China's continued strength, No force will be able to stop it.

Wu Peifu, deputy chief of the general staff of the Ministry of Army, stood up at this time and said: "In my opinion, there is no problem in winning a military victory against the United States. My opinion is that by using force or money to buy, the loss of Los Angeles and the The Pacific islands were incorporated into the empire's territory as a springboard for the empire. A military base was built in Canada, and Canada was vigorously supported. At the same time, the Louisiana area west of the Mississippi River could be returned by force after the war To France; return Florida to Spain; return Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and part of Wyoming, and all the land that originally belonged to Mexico to Mexico. China will unconditionally help these countries complete their recovery There is only one condition for the desire to lose land, which is to allow China to set up military bases in these places and send troops to station there for a long time, so as to protect these places from being invaded again by the United States!"

According to Wu Peifu, the focus is on the return of Mexican land.

After the United States invaded and occupied a large area of ​​Mexico, the territory of the United States expanded from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. In 1869, a large railway was built across the east and west, which combined the resources of the west with the industry of the east, and greatly accelerated the process of industrialization in the United States.The submarine cable laid before 1914 was 51 kilometers long. Through the Atlantic submarine cable, the smooth flow of information between Europe and the United States was guaranteed, and the isolation of the United States from Europe was ended, which had a great impact on European and American economies and information exchanges. great influence.

Before 1860, the United States was still in the economic backwardness of the colonies. From 1860 to 1890, the United States increased its output value by 9 times through industrial technological revolution and innovation.By 1890, the United States had become the world's largest economic power. In 1900, the per capita income of the United States surpassed that of Europe, becoming the world's largest economy.The reason why the United States has achieved these achievements is inseparable from the land they plundered through various means.

"The advantage of doing this is that apart from disintegrating the power of the United States, those Western countries will inevitably have great conflicts with the United States in order to protect their own interests." Wu Peifu looked at the crowd and listened very seriously, and said: "Wait until After returning these places in the United States one by one, I think the United States can no longer make any big waves. Especially in Mexico, the lost things suddenly come back, they must cherish it even more, and with the full support of the Chinese government, on this land , will form a situation of long-term confrontation between the United States and Mexico. At the same time, for those weak countries in North America, we can also encourage them to adopt a method of hostility to the United States. The threat of the United States to China, through the above methods, I think it will naturally disintegrate. "

The meeting room was quiet, and no one spoke for a long time. Wu Peifu was waiting for everyone's reaction in fear. Suddenly, Feng Xianghua took the lead and applauded lightly. Everyone, like him, agreed with Wu Peifu's opinion by applauding. Applause It got louder and louder, and finally Wu Peifu felt a little embarrassed.

After finally waiting for the applause to subside, Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "When Zhuo Ru recommended Ziyu to me before, I didn't quite believe in this person's ability. Now, judging from the current handling of the United States, Prime Minister, this Your recommendation was right, and I used it right. Ziyu, from now on, you will implement your ideas concretely. No matter what kind of help you need, the whole empire will go all out to support it!"

After Wu Peifu sat down, Guan Xuqing said: "The problem in the United States is very complicated, and it cannot be settled in a few words. What Ziyu said is a good strategy, but it is not the only way. The specifics will depend on the development of the war in the future. This is good, but I want to remind everyone today, don’t think that the United States is at your fingertips after a few victories. On the contrary, this country has not exploded with real strength. The future wars will be more and more difficult, and you have to be prepared. ——I have a report here. After the Second World War, the world was not peaceful, and wars continued in various regions. Soldiers who died directly in these wars It reached more than 1000 million, more than 500 million people were disabled, 1100 million died of starvation and disease, and the direct economic loss was about 1700 billion dragon coins, and the indirect economic loss was about 1500 billion dragon coins. Among them, Europe suffered the most. Purely from the economic According to estimates, Europe’s industrial development has set back 8 years, what does this mean?”

Guan Xuqing walked around the venue a few times and said: "This means that the future will belong to China. At the height of the Second World War, two countries gained huge benefits from the war. One was China, and the other is the United States. But the United States lacks a strong military force, so their benefits from the war can only be a vain, but we are different, we create and obtain a lot of wealth, we have made ourselves The benefit of being surprised. Europe, America, and Africa will be left behind by us far away, and Asia will become the new center of the world. There is only one Asia in the world, and there is only one China in Asia. Asia is Asia for Asians, and Asia is even more China's Asia!" Guan Xuqing paused, and said with a somewhat passionate voice: "When the war is over, let us welcome a new era, and our country, and our nation, will be the most important thing in this era. Great protagonist."

The annihilation of the U.S. armored forces was a catastrophe for the U.S. troops defending the Grand Canyon area and their commander-in-chief, General MacArthur. They seemed to have seen the end of themselves.General MacArthur faithfully and almost stubbornly fulfilled his mission. He gathered all the troops and made a determined effort to hold back the progress of the Chinese army in the Grand Canyon.

The U.S. government tried its best to block the bad news on the front line, but paper can never contain the fire. The news that the U.S. armored forces were wiped out quickly spread to the accompanying capital New York. I was stunned.Didn't it mean that American tanks were even ahead of the Chinese? Why were they defeated by the Chinese in just one day?The Americans began to have deep worries about whether their army could win and their future.

The anti-war sentiment in the United States, driven by some mysterious forces, has risen again, and anti-war demonstrators began to appear in front of the Congress.In order to suppress this sentiment in the country, the U.S. government adopted a resolute suppression attitude towards such anti-war demonstrations. The military and police used batons and high-pressure water cannons to disperse the demonstrators and arrested the leaders.The demonstrations seemed to be suppressed, but a larger trend of opposition has quietly formed in the United States.When this trend breaks out, the United States will no longer be able to contain it.
