Wild North America 1846

It’s not surprising that Major General Tris Speke had such a reaction. He is the commander-in-chief of the Chicago base. This is Major General Tris Speke’s unit. He doesn’t want to hear other people dictating.

Especially since this person was the defeated general of the mad king, ruining the originally good situation in vain.

Not enough words to speculate.

Major General Frank Gilhouli looked at the other party's resisting face, and a feeling of anger arose spontaneously. However, he did not say anything more, but turned around silently and left the corridor.

Today, Major General Frank Gilhoury is a convicted criminal, even though he holds the position of deputy commander-in-chief.

actually

During multiple rounds of parliamentary inquiries, Major General Frank Gilhoury was madly bitten by those southern congressmen, and was almost defined as a national traitor who lost his city and territory. From then on, he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history and was reviled by all people.

If the northern abolitionist congressmen had not tried their best to defend themselves due to camp politics, made a fairer evaluation of Major General Frank Gilhoury's military command, and allowed him to be convicted and meritorious in spite of the clamor for beatings and killings in Congress, his body would have been buried long ago.

It was completely cool.

Standing under the eaves

Looking at General Frank's hunched back as he left, the staff officer next to Major General Tris Spike smacked his lips with regret and said, "Your Excellency, the failure of the war seems to have hit Frank hard, and his whole person has become different.

Already."

"Frank should really reflect on the fact that what he lost in his hands was a fully equipped 8,000-man army and the state of Colorado. This has become a laughing matter to Europeans. He lost the face of the Continental Army of the United States. Frank's failure created

The Mad King's now-famous reputation has made our situation even more difficult. So, I don't sympathize with him."

"It's incredible when I think about it. The mad king actually defeated Frank with a cavalry of more than a thousand people. It feels so unreal."

"Humph, he is too stupid."

Major General Tris Spike snorted and ended the conversation with a look of disdain. He did not want to continue discussing this issue, but turned his attention to the noisy training ground again.

the other side

General Frank Gilhooly, who was looking down and out, returned to his office alone, sat on a chair, lit a cigar, and started puffing on a cigar, wrapping his whole body in a strong mist of tobacco.

He has been reflecting on that nightmarish war.

Discovered by General Frank Gilhoury;

from beginning to end

They were all led by the crazy King Richard, one in the open and the other in the dark. They completely lost the initiative and could only be beaten passively.

When he led the U.S. military to march south, Richard made a sneak attack on Denver in the rear and burned it to the ground, forcing the U.S. military to return for reinforcements.

Subsequently, during the stalemate between the two sides, the Tang Kingdom cavalry completely cut off Denver's logistics supply line.

This put the U.S. Army in Denver into a logistical supply dilemma, forcing the U.S. Army to allocate a valuable force to escort the logistics carriage convoy back to Kansas City to deliver supplies, thus giving the Tang Kingdom cavalry a good opportunity to defeat them.

This war was not so much defeated by the Tang Kingdom as it was lost on the logistics line.

From a response perspective, there were no obvious mistakes.

When Denver was burned to the ground, it foreshadowed the failure of the US military. The long logistics line was the fatal weakness of the US military. The lack of materials caused the US military to be panicked and unwilling to fight.

Just like an egg, after the hard shell is cracked, everything is doomed.

The key to victory or defeat is to contain the elusive cavalry troops of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise victory will be impossible.

During parliamentary inquiries, General Frank Gilhoury repeatedly emphasized the huge threat posed by the Colt 1846 Cavalry Revolver in combat, which completely made up for the U.S. cavalry's advantages in quantity and experience.

By the way, there are also heavy cuirassiers.

The reasons he emphasized did not convince members of Congress, but instead attracted more fierce criticism. Some people called him "Coward Frank" and ridiculed him to the fullest.

The entire United States is currently experiencing an impetuous atmosphere. In Congress, Southern and Northern lawmakers are sharply opposed to each other, anarchism and liberalism are rampant, and all kinds of divisive rhetoric and blind self-confidence are filling it, like a pot of bean soup about to boil.

this situation

It is very unfavorable to the war currently facing the United States. The continuous progress made by the Southern Army invading Mexico has only strengthened the rhetoric of criticizing General Frank Gilhoury for his incompetence and stupidity.

The newly promoted generals are eager to prove themselves, which makes General Frank worried. He has really experienced the power of the mad King Richard, and his face was swollen.

The army of the Tang Dynasty used a relatively cruel method to recruit American troops in a short time and sent them to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder, growing their strength like a snowball.

In General Frank's mind, those captured American soldiers had become vassals of the military power of the Tang Kingdom. To be honest, it was really too bad.

The United States mobilized an additional 45,000 troops for the third war, and the cavalry alone reached 12,000. This was not a military force fully prepared for the Western Expedition, and part of it would be used in the southern Mexican battlefield.

In General Frank's opinion;

The correct response at the moment is to go all out to win the Southern Mexican War, and then turn around and calmly deal with the Tang Kingdom.

However, the members of Congress were angered by the arrogant attitude of the Tang Dynasty and unanimously demanded that he be taught a lesson.

The reason!

Naturally, during the international mediation held in the British Canadian colony of Quebec, the American representatives received humiliating peace talks conditions, which almost drove them crazy.

The Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty brazenly stated that it wanted to swallow up the three northern states, which ranked first, second and third in the territory of the United States, occupying 15% of the existing territory of the United States. It was simply arrogant to the extreme.

This directly led to the breakdown of the peace talks. The U.S. Congress efficiently passed the Third War Mobilization Act and other military appropriations bills, using the power of public opinion to incite public sentiment, which put tremendous pressure on the government and military.

Even though he knew that the Western Expedition was a big pit, he still had to bite the bullet and jump into it.

From a policy perspective;

Unifying the territory of the North American continent, allowing the American Federation to have the benefit of both oceans, dominating the North American continent and intimidating Central and South America, and bringing all of them into the U.S. sphere of influence, strategically competing with Europe, is the sacred nature given to the United States by the "Monroe Doctrine"

mission.

The southern invasion of Mexico and the western expedition to the Tang Kingdom were both products of this strategy. Any political figure who opposes and violates this political creed is tantamount to political suicide.

This fanatical attitude has affected the military and the industrial and financial sectors, and dissenters have been kicked away. This is currently the only political consensus that can maintain northern and southern lawmakers and cannot be challenged.

General Frank saw with concern;

The current American society has fallen into a paranoid war fever. The sharp increase in military spending has affected economic development and aggravated social unrest. The serious consequences are becoming increasingly apparent.

As an economy with an annual gross national value of one billion US dollars, what is the concept of spending 100 million or more US dollars to burn in a war?

Undoubtedly, militarism is an appropriate assessment.
