Opening game, American Tycoon

During the war, for military generals, what they long for is to see through the fog of war and win the war.After all, war is a field full of uncertainty, which is exacerbated by chance and enemy resistance.

But how many people can see through the fog of war?

What if you can't see through the fog?
The Imperial Headquarters is the center of the imperial military command in this war. They are the core figures of the imperial military. The Chief, the First Minister of the Military Order, and the Chief of the Operations Section; the Army Minister and the Navy Minister attended the meeting, but did not have the right to speak.Although the prime minister is included in the base camp, they will not participate unless they are invited.

Today's meeting, because it is a purely military meeting, did not invite the prime minister to participate, but its
When the generals entered the meeting room at the headquarters of the palace, they saw the emperor standing by the wall, just under the large oil painting "Crossing the Andes", which is somewhat similar to "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" Similarly, the gloomy sky and dangerous terrain strengthen the heroism of the work, but the protagonist is different. The protagonist of the Alps is Napoleon, while the protagonist of this oil painting is an ordinary soldier.Among the marching ranks, the young soldiers pointed to the high mountain peaks.

Crossing the Andes... the most important expansion in the history of the empire, it meant... the beginning of the empire.

From that day on, the empire began its own road of conquest.

And the generals who walked into this meeting room today seemed to feel the fierce mountain wind of the Andes and the danger of the mountain road again. It seems that they have never left that place until now.

Yes, most of them are members of the painting, who started the empire's road of conquest, and now, the empire is facing a new juncture.

Emperor Zhu held an unlit cigar between his fingers, and said in a low voice:

"Report."

Chief of Army Staff Ren Huabang briefly reported the situation:

"At present, the main battlefield of the Imperial Legion is Africa. The purpose of the war in Africa is to drive the forces of Britain and Germany to Africa. Both of them have been transferred to the European and North American battlefields. At present, our army has less than 320 million troops in Africa. Considering that the colony defense does not exceed 110 troops, the progress of the troops is limited. The suggestion of the staff is, The newly recruited troops this year should be used to enrich the local army in Africa, so as to end the war in Africa as much as possible..."

As Chief of Staff Ren Huabang, when he reported all this, his words were without the slightest color. When he finished speaking, the conference room was enveloped in silence.The eyes of all those present turned to the emperor.But Emperor Zhu was also silent. He picked up the cigar with his thumb, and then lit it. The smoke and the unique vanilla and nut aroma of "Bawang Cigar" filled the meeting room.

Finally, Emperor Zhu's voice sounded in the meeting room:
"Africa is not our main battlefield. According to the secret agreement of the four countries, we only included southern Africa into the sphere of influence. As for North Africa, Southwest Africa, Sudan, and Ethiopia, they have all been allocated to France, Rome, and Austria-Hungary. Now even if We have invested millions of troops, what is the final result? It is nothing more than making wedding dresses for others, this kind of loss-making business, I will not do it!"

Emperor Zhu's tone was the same as in the past, calm and majestic, and everyone who often listened to him could sense an unquestionable tone in his voice.

People have long been used to this.

In fact, anyone who understands the empire's global strategy knows that Daming's ambitions for Africa have completely disappeared...he really doesn't have any ambitions.Even southern Africa, including Namibia and South Africa, is also fighting with the Boers, and will support the Boers in ruling South Africa in the future. Of course, the local mining industry must be controlled by the empire.

"Our African policy is very simple. It is to digest, absorb and consolidate the current African colonies. If there is more... it will be indigestion."

Taking a puff of his cigar, Emperor Zhu secretly thanked God, what are you grateful for?

Thanks to the tens of millions of men in the four provinces of Dongying who have worked hard and worked hard for 20 years. They not only turned the wasteland into a fertile farm with their hard work, but also changed the color of the local area. It is definitely unrealistic to expand. After all, there are not many Japanese men who bravely pick up black girls.

"What about the North American battlefield?"

Compared to Africa...North America, that is the most important place!It is also the key to the future of the empire.

Regarding His Majesty's decision, Ren Huabang just pursed his lips slightly, neither expressing approval nor objection.After hearing His Majesty's inquiry, he immediately replied.

"At present, we have occupied Washington State, most of Oregon, and parts of Iowa and Montana. According to the plan formulated by the General Staff, the Northern Front will begin to attack the US military on the entire Northwest Front in mid-March. According to the mission Goal, the Staff developed "Project Tornado" last winter to occupy California and drive into the Midlands..."

When Ren Huabang was explaining the "Tornado Plan" made by the General Staff, Emperor Zhu tilted his head back slightly and his chin stretched forward. armrest.

All the people in this conference room now - the generals sitting around the table, they all feel that His Majesty is now thinking about the chances of success of this plan.The principle that those who count more temples wins, and those who count temples less wins, has always been like this throughout the ages.

"...According to the results of multiple wargames, after the Battle of San Francisco, our army will not only occupy San Francisco and the entire California, but will also wipe out 110 million enemy soldiers locally, which will lay a solid foundation for our army's next move .”

After Ren Huabang directly gave the results of the wargame deduction, Emperor Zhu did not speak, he just sat there thinking, and occasionally he would take a puff of a cigar.

Annihilated and captured 110 million enemies!
If the goal of the campaign can be achieved, this is definitely an unprecedented victory. Of course, it is also a heavy blow to the Americans. The Americans have never really experienced the cruel test of war, even the Civil War... ...so what?

After a moment, his eyes swept over the people present.

Finally, he set his sights on Zhao Shiji, Minister of Military Command.

"About the plan for the Battle of San Francisco, does the Military Command have anything to add?"

"The military command agrees with this plan."

Zhao Shiji quickly replied.

Nodding his head, Emperor Zhu looked at Zhao Shiji and said.

"You should send a telegram to Peng Guoliang and ask him if he has anything to add."

It seems His Majesty agrees!

At this moment, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: His Majesty's words already contained some kind of agreement.

Now everyone is waiting for His Majesty's will.

In the anticipation of everyone, Emperor Zhu said directly.

"Implement the battle plan!"
