Australian Storm 1876 - Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088 All-out effort to bring about peace

Fuso, Tokyo

In recent days, Youpeng in Shanxian County has been restless. He often wakes up from nightmares in the middle of the night, trembling with cold sweat, and can no longer sleep.

After early September

The rhetoric of the North American public opinion circle has become more and more intense, inciting the public sentiment in the society, shouting and shouting everywhere, and the flames are everywhere, which has brought the US-Japan negotiation, which had achieved a great breakthrough, to a deadlock.

This situation made Youpeng in Shanxian extremely anxious.

He took a great risk and vowed to deceive the terrible dictatorial emperor, because he was afraid that the Ocean Empire would interfere in the private negotiations between the United States and Japan, and disturb the situation of peace in North America.

The current situation is that both the United States and Japan are very vigilant about the Ocean Empire.

People of insight in the United States and Japan have seen this extremely dangerous situation. Fusang is really unable to fight. Why is this not the case in the United States?

The American countrymen were fighting in the front, and the country in the rear was divided into a piece, and then the country in the rear was divided again. Now the entire nineteen states in the south have been lost, isn’t the lesson profound?

If we continue to fight, I am afraid the whole country will be finished.

According to the secret agreement reached between the United States and Japan in private;

The Japanese army will all withdraw from Kansas, abandoning this critical place that seriously threatens the heart of the United States and is well connected in all directions, so that the Americans can sleep peacefully, and at the same time, they can reach a formal ceasefire and peace agreement with the Japanese side.

And the Japanese side has also received a promise from the US side that the US side is willing to admit defeat and pay no more than 2.2 billion US dollars in war reparations.

This condition is still under negotiation, and it should be possible to extract one or two hundred million US dollars from the Americans, with a maximum of no more than 300 million US dollars.

In other words, the reparations after the war can be about 2.4 billion to 2.5 billion US dollars. Compared with the huge war reparations of 3.5 billion US dollars requested before, the Japanese side is already very satisfied.

The fat pig is still there, but it can’t escape anyway, so it’s enough to cut the meat after it’s fattened.

This huge sum of money can help the Japanese side pay off more than 80% of its international debts, and leave sufficient funds for economic development to further develop the strength of the combined fleet. These three points are very important and are related to the long-term development of the Great Fusang Empire.

In order to obtain more war reparations, the Japanese side made a significant retreat in other harsh conditions, showing its sincerity in reaching a peace negotiation, which is also the main reason for the success of the secret negotiation.

The United States and Japan have reached consensus on the two important issues of territory and war compensation, which has greatly advanced the peace negotiation process.

Who ever thought

Now the situation in North America has deteriorated sharply. Just two days ago, all the militia members of the Fifth Division of South Dakota mutinied, causing President Davin Porter of the United States to break out in a cold sweat, which directly caused the secret negotiations to come to a standstill.

Now the public opinion within the Confederation is boiling. At this extremely sensitive time, President Davenport dare not risk the world to let his political opponents find loopholes and send himself to the trial stand of traitors.

The sky and the earth are bigger than the net worth and life.

Early morning

A black car quietly came to the gate of this quiet manor. Prime Minister Zhengyi got out of the car with a solemn expression, and stepped into the manor with the respectful reception of the servants.

The furnishings are simple and indoors, and the fragrance of tea is lingering.

Prime Minister Zhengyi in the temple knelt behind the short table, looking at the thin old man with white hair dyed by the wind and frost in front of him, his eyes filled with respect.

This is a veteran who worked hard for the rise of the Great Fusang Empire and made outstanding contributions. He is also the most powerful figure in the current Fusang government and military. He can successfully sit in the position of Prime Minister, relying on the power of the elders. superior.

“Your Excellency, it’s really rude to disturb you so early in the morning, please forgive me.”

“Junei-san, you don’t need to say these kind words. I’m getting old and I have a lot of things to do in my heart. I often can’t sleep all night long, and I want to find someone to talk to.” A friend in Shanxian sighed, although he arrived His honorable position now is under one person and above ten thousand people.

But the days are still shaky, like walking on thin ice, which must be said to be a kind of sadness.

Say it, it’s unbelievable;

The huge shadow    thousands of miles away seemed to hang over his head all the time, giving him a huge sense of suffocation. In the dead of night, he even felt a deep fear.

It is a daze about the future of the country and the nation, and still has not found a bright and clear path.

Across the front…is that gigantic monster.

“Terauchi-kun, I would like to hear your true views on the situation in North America?”

“Lord Shanxian, the future is not optimistic!” Temple Zhengyi frowned, hesitated, sighed long, and said:

“The situation in North America is like dancing on the tip of a knife, who knows what will happen next?

The secret peace talks have come to a standstill, and the U.S. side has obviously backed away from its original position. Now we can only try our best to work towards peace, but we must prepare for the worst case scenario, which is to fight a **** battle on an unprecedented scale.

Amaterasu!

In the past six months, I managed to save some funds. As soon as the war in front of me started, the money went out like running water, and it couldn’t stop.

When I think of this, my heart is really painful.

The big man in Australia seems to have sensed our actions. All trade channels to the Republic of Arizona came to a standstill. Dozens of cargo ships were moored at the Port of San Francisco waiting to be unloaded, and Tijuana, Mexico, also refused to transit the goods.

We must make a choice as soon as possible; peace or war.

North America now has nearly 2 million citizens and more than 900,000 troops. Although it can maintain the basic supply of grain and oil, there are still many materials that need to be imported, and a large amount of minerals are waiting to be exported.

Under the blockade of the Ocean Empire, the dilemma of the sea outlet has become increasingly prominent, which is the biggest problem we face.

Sir, the Great Fusang Empire needs your guidance, please! ”

After Prime Minister Masaichi Terachi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the ground.

At this moment, Youpeng’s head in Shanxian County seemed to have exploded, full of fear and extreme unease, his thoughts came up, and he was speechless.

The direction of the country is not so easy to guide.

The worst thing happened

That dictatorial emperor strangled Fusang by the throat, and wanted to force Fusang to follow the path he was unwilling to follow, either to be reborn in the fire of war, or to be destroyed in the fire of war…

The only way to survive is to quickly reach a peace agreement with the United States. The two weak people will keep warm back to back and jointly resist the strong pressure from the Ocean Empire.

It is absolutely impossible to fight, it is a 100% dead end.

Restricted by geographical factors, neither the United States nor Fusang could pose a direct threat to the Ocean Empire.

The Ocean Empire has been operating in the Rocky Mountains for a long time. From Salt Lake City to the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, relying on geographical advantages, numerous strong fortresses have been built, which are daunting.

In terms of the level of defense, the former Gallup Fortress of the U.S. military couldn’t keep up.

Fill in 1 million or more troops, and they will not be able to overcome this natural danger.

The occupied area operated by the Fuso Kingdom in North America does not directly border the North American Headquarters of the Ocean Empire. If they want to attack, they must first attack the Republic of California.

The Ocean Empire has an armored division and two infantry divisions with a total of more than 65,000 people in the Republic of California. The Republic of California itself also has more than 60,000 troops and more than 100,000 National Guard soldiers. With the help of the Sierra Nevada and desert natural dangers , difficult to overcome in a short time.

Behind the Republic of California, is the regular army of the Ocean Empire armed to the teeth with more than 180,000 people, which can be transported to the front line by convenient railway transportation within three days.

With the super-strength combat effectiveness of the Ocean Empire on the European battlefield, even the always arrogant Fuso Army headquarters did not dare to boast that they could win in battle.

The record of the Royal Army of the Ocean Empire was not blown out, but played out. In the Wool War, it annihilated hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in the United States at every turn.

Switching to the Fusang people to fight, but it was really exhausting, but it was just a tug of war. This is the difference!

Since the United States and Japan cannot fight this hard stubble, can they just lie down on the ground?

The answer is; no.

As soon as the sea and land are blocked, there will be no seeds for growing grain and vegetables, let alone other materials. Millions of people drink the northwest wind?

If nothing else, you always have to eat salt, right?

If the Ocean Empire sent some planes to set fires around the grain harvest season, it would be a complete idiot.

You Peng in Shanxian County is very clear;

His idol… That dictatorial emperor has always been decisive and ruthless. When necessary, he would not even hit the slightest stumbling, and he would directly kill him.

What justice, justice and morality, what is the crisis for the survival of millions of people, in the eyes of the unparalleled hero, it is not worth anything at all, what makes him worry about, maybe only the Chinese nation?

“The peace negotiations must achieve results, and we will immediately send a note to the US side through secret channels. We have given up most of the preconditions, and the two sides will sign a peace treaty in accordance with the previously agreed conditions. If necessary, we can even give up part of the Colorado site, leaving only Denver. Occupied the area.” Shanxian Youpeng made up his mind resolutely, waving his thin palm in the air, symbolizing the firm confidence in reaching a peace treaty; “2.2 billion US dollars is acceptable, and other conditions are completely waived, and there is not much time left for us. , we must reach a peace treaty as soon as possible.”

“Understood, I immediately called the North American Expeditionary Forces and asked them to execute according to your will.”

“Yo Xi, don’t be afraid of the things that are temporarily lost. The Great Fusang Empire needs time to accumulate strength. After 10 years of post-war operations, after we digest the existing North American occupation area…” Shanxian Friendship punched the short A few moments later, a crazy look flashed in his eyes; “As long as the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy can grow again, the whole game of chess will be alive.”

“Hiyi, I understand.” Temple Zhengyi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed

As long as the combined fleet of the Great Fuso Empire can be stimulated by the huge funds of war compensation, it will develop again and become a powerful army in the Pacific Ocean that can compete with the Ocean Empire.

Then, the spring of Fusang is here.

There is no need to look up to others, to be low and small, which is a great humiliation for any ambitious world power.
