Chapter 2874
Why did MacArthur say in the telegram that he had no time?Because just this afternoon, he obtained a piece of information from the FBI, and learned that China's Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet had set off and would arrive in the coastal waters of Fortaleza within a week.With a guilty conscience, he took it for granted that the Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet came to Fortaleza to target the Meissen Security Army.In the absence of a formal declaration of war between China and the United States, and the fact that the Atlantic Fleet could not give actual support to the Meissen Security Army, he did not dare to imagine the outcome of the Meissen Security Army facing the Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet alone, so he used this In an almost exasperated tone, he called Stedinius.

The news that China's Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet was heading to Fortaleza, Stedinius actually knew about it long before MacArthur.He also knew that the White House had protested to the Chinese government on this matter.It was only refuted by the righteous words of the Chinese government.With the legitimate reason of "evacuating overseas Chinese", the Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet did have a reason to appear in the offshore waters of Fortaleza.As for Fortaleza being a Brazilian territory, the fact that the Chinese army occupied it by force is in violation of international law, because the Brazilian government no longer electrifies the world to protest. No matter how loud the Americans are, they can only shout in front of their own media, even Not even across the Atlantic.

"General, the White House will not be able to provide you with substantial assistance in this matter. After all, you are now mercenaries. I think that instead of waiting for the Brazilian government to make changes, it is better to help the Brazilians make up their minds. So you should Take practical actions as soon as possible to expel the Chinese from Fortaleza..." Stedinius' suggestion in the reply call is indeed the best choice for the Meissen Security Army at present.However, because there is no certainty of defeating the Chinese army at all, for MacArthur, this call means nothing.

Objectively speaking, the U.S. government's formation of mercenaries to help the Brazilian government resist the "invasion" of the Chinese army is indeed a brilliant move, and it is also quite in line with the national interests of the United States.South America is too close to North America. If China and the United States really go to war, from the perspective of national security, the appearance of Chinese troops in South America at the door of the United States will directly threaten the security of the United States.It is no exaggeration to say that this may become China's one-shot killer.It will also be the most unstable factor in the Sino-US war, with the ability to rewrite the outcome of the war at any time.In this regard, in order to eliminate this hidden danger, it is worthwhile for the US government to invest three times or even five times as much.

Stedinius, MacArthur and Truman were all clearly aware of this point.So, after failing to get the desired answer, despite lack of confidence, MacArthur decided to launch an offensive as soon as possible.

Two days later, after another group of Meissen's security forces, about a regiment in size, arrived in Fortaleza, MacArthur issued the order to attack.

The battle started at about three o'clock in the morning that day. In order to win with one blow, MacArthur used all the artillery of the Meissen Security Army as soon as he came up, and ordered the artillery to fire all the shells within half an hour.

It is worth mentioning that just as the gunners of the Meissen Security Army fired the first shell at the Chinese Defense Zone in Fortaleza, Song Ziwen at the United Nations Headquarters in Guangzhou, China urgently summoned Fan Xuande, the chief representative of the United States to the United Nations, and asked the latter to Explaining the appearance of American armed forces outside the Chinese military camp in Brazil: "...what our government needs to know is the nature of this armed force in your country and what is the relationship with the White House. According to the reliable information we have received, The supreme commander of this force is Admiral MacArthur. Mr. Representative, your two countries are currently negotiating on the distribution of power in the Pacific Ocean. At this sensitive time, your government has made such a move. Could it be said that your government really wants to cooperate with you? Am I an enemy?"

Seeking truth from facts, the Coalition Government's response was actually a bit slow in the matter of protecting the army in Meissen.With regard to the identity verification of the Meissen Security Army, when it first appeared in Fortalethe, the Supreme Command reached a consensus that the US government would definitely not recognize its official nature.Thinking about it from another angle, if Song Ziwen summoned Fan Xuande to ask for an explanation when the Meissen Security Army had just arrived in Fortalethe, Chu Meng and the others would be able to launch a surprise attack and eliminate this scourge in one fell swoop.

As expected by the consensus reached by the Supreme Command, Fan Xuande really denied that the White House had any connection with the Maison Security Forces, and vowed that the White House had no knowledge of this matter at all, and he would prompt the government to launch an investigation and so on.

"I'm relieved when you say that, because it means that no matter how we treat this army, it will have nothing to do with your government. Hehe, our Supreme Commander was originally very worried that the Chinese boy in Fortaleza was not serious. I need to explain to President Roosevelt. Very good, then, excuse me!" Song Ziwen put down this sentence with a smile on his face, and then someone sent Fan Xuande to leave.

From Song Ziwen's words, he heard a blatant threat, but Fan Xuande couldn't move his feet.But because his own words came first, his lips moved for a while, but he couldn't utter a single word in the end.

After returning to his residence, the first thing he did was to call the country, and he relayed Song Ziwen's words almost verbatim.It is hoped that the White House will remind MacArthur to be vigilant against Chinese revenge.

The Chinese Supreme Command was a bit slow in dealing with the Meissen security army, and the same was true for Fan Xuande's telegram.Because when the White House received his telegram and sent an alarm to MacArthur, the Battle of Fortaleza had come to an end, and as Song Ziwen told Fan Xuande, the Meissen Security Army was indeed attacked by the Chinese boys Blowing hard, almost wiped out the whole army.

The reason why it was close was that MacArthur changed into a soldier's uniform at the most critical moment and escaped under the desperate protection of his subordinates.However, the nearly 5000-man army of the Meissen Security Army had more than half of its casualties at this time, and more than 2000 people became prisoners of the Chumeng Special Battle Brigade.

Except for a little doubt at the beginning of the battle, the rest of the time can be regarded as a performance by the Chinese army.

After half an hour of artillery preparation, MacArthur issued an order for the entire attack.MacArthur knew that he was not as good as the Chinese in terms of individual soldier quality and fighting will, so he wanted to make up for this gap through numbers and shortening the fighting time. "Rush forward in one go and defeat the Chinese in one fell swoop!" This is what he said most to his opponents after the battle started.His tactical arrangement is not bad, but his opponent this time is a Chinese special warfare unit that is good at small coordination and individual soldiers.Therefore, the result of his command in this way is actually equivalent to completely handing over the initiative of the battle, and the result can be imagined.
