Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 132, Armistice Contact

The Yi** team can give up Boshidun, but will not give up New York. According to the information released after the war, before the Republic Marines surrounded New York, the US military had deployed about 10,000 officers and soldiers in the Greater New York area. In addition, a militia of no less than 10,000, and there were hundreds of thousands of armed civilians who assisted the US military in fighting. In other words, there were tens of thousands of military personnel among the tens of thousands of people who stayed in the Greater New York area. This proportion was enough to allow the Republic Marines to choose a new offensive tactic.

Fortunately, it is no longer the number of people who decide the outcome of the war.

Like the attack on the Greater Boston area, before the attack on the Greater New York area, the Republic Marines distributed leaflets and gave days to allow civilians who did not want to serve the US military and wanted to live until after the war ended, leaving the war zone and heading to the designated location for resettlement. Because the war camps in the rear were already overcrowded, and several unpleasant conflicts occurred during the war refugees in the Greater New York area, that is, some extremists mixed among the refugees and attacked the Republicans who helped them, so all the war refugees in the Greater New York area remained near the area and were temporarily placed in several small towns in New York and New Jersey.

There is no doubt that under the control of the US military, there are not many refugees who are truly resettled.

According to data released after the war, by August, the last day of the "evacuation operation", less than 40,000 refugees were placed in the Republic Marines, and at that time there were at least 10,000 civilians in Greater New York. In other words, less than one-fifth of civilians had been placed in resettlement. Most of them were women, children, the elderly, and a few disabled people. Because the Republic Marines did not accept soldiers injured in the war, there were not many disabled people.

In the early morning of August, the offensive operation officially began.

The siege battle fought against the old sky until the night of August, when the last group of American troops hiding in the subway system were wiped out, the battle ended.

It can be said that this is also the most tragic urban war in World War III.

Although this battle lasted only for the old days. It was much shorter than many of the previous cities' offensive and defensive battles. However, it was the most tragic battle in terms of military force, ammunition consumption, casualties, material damage, etc., and it was also the most tragic battle fought by the Republic Marines since the Fiji Islands.

Ultimately, New York is the largest three-dimensional defense fortress in the world.

You should know that New York has the most developed and sound underground transportation system in the world, and has an underground pipeline network that is almost impossible to accurately estimate. With the skyscrapers on the ground, it is difficult for the Republic Marines or any other army to unfold in this maze of reinforced concrete. Mu Yong doubted that after the attack began, the Republican Navy provided strong artillery support to the Marines. In the words of Marines who participated in this combat operation, the navy's artillery almost wiped the upper part of New York from the ground, but it was powerless to do anything to the underground part of New York.

To be precise, it is difficult to cause a devastating blow. According to the war report submitted by the Marine Corps, in order to strengthen the anti-strike capabilities of the underground defense system, the US military not only used countless steel to reinforce the subway and underground pipeline networks, but also used reinforced sealing doors to separate these underground pipeline networks that can be used by tanks and vehicles. In this way, even kilogram-level shells, or even kilogram-level shells, can easily penetrate the surface and destroy the subway and the main sewer, but it is difficult to destroy the entire subway system at once. The damage caused by each shell is very limited, and the ammunition required to destroy a regular underground system will be amazing.

It can be said that after absorbing countless teachings, the US military finally found a way to deal with long-range artillery fire of the Republican team.

Of course, this kind of underground fortifications that are segmented and defended also caused great trouble to the offensive forces.

Regardless of whether the officers and soldiers of the Republic of China Marine Corps are willing to accept it, if they want to capture New York, they have to eliminate the US troops hiding in the underground pipeline network, and let the Marine Corps officers and soldiers go down to the ground. In fact, because the US military lost air superiority and was unable to threaten the long-range firepower of the Republic of Navy fleet, from the very beginning, the US military voluntarily gave up the surface positions and at most only made symbolic resistance. In other words, ground wars have become "underground wars". In this old sky, the offensive forces of the Republic of China Marine Corps are fighting against the enemy.

This is also one of the reasons why New York's offensive and defensive battles were extremely fierce.

According to the combat records of the Republic Marine Corps, in this old sky, the plastic explosives consumed only in blasting exceeded the perpetrators, and there were only less than 10,000 engineers among the troops involved in the attack at that time. In other words, on average, each engineer consumed kilograms of plastic explosives every day, and a blasting required only an old kilogram of explosives at most, that is, the engineers performed blasting tasks on average every day. Even if the blasting tasks performed by infantry soldiers were eliminated, a blasting team composed of Ming engineers had to perform approximately one blasting task every day, and a blasting task required at least one hour, that is, the engineers fought for the old hours every day, far exceeding ordinary infantry! In fact, this did not include using other equipment, such as large-caliber cannons, if there was insufficient plastic explosives, use of other equipment, such as large-caliber cannons.

The blasting operation carried out by the bombs. The daily combat time of the engineers is as high as more than an old hour, and the rest time is less than 4 hours. If it is only one or two days, the problem is not big and the old days will last, the problem will be very serious. In fact, in this battle, the most loss is the small hunger report published by the Marine Corps. In the battle attacking the Greater New York area, the casualty rate of the engineers is twice that of the ordinary infantry, and during the entire war, the casualty rate of the engineers is only one-third of the infantry. In other words, in this battle, the casualty rate of the engineers is twice as many as before! Among the many engineers, only a few people live intact until the end of the battle. The dead engineers exceeded the devastating force, and the wounded ones were even more serious.

It is not just the Jianghe Marine Corps that bears heavy losses.

As mentioned earlier, among the ten thousand soldiers and civilians in Greater New York, only about 100 million people accepted the resettlement of the Republic Marine Corps, and the rest of 100 million people remained on the battlefield. According to the data released by the Republic authorities after the station, by the end of the war, only 100 million people in Greater New York were left with no heart. In addition, there were about 100 million people and US military officers and soldiers who were placed before the end of the war, or were rescued, that is, about 100 million people remained in this huge ruin forever.

Of course, the actual death figure is likely to be far more than persuasion.

According to relevant archives of the U.S. federal government and the New York State government, before August, the total number of military and civilians in the Greater New York area was around 10,000, rather than the left ten thousand announced by the Republic authorities. And less than one-tenth of this number actually survived until the end of the war.

Of course, no one can tell how many people died in New York.

There is only one thing that is, after the battle, New York became a huge cemetery. Because the casualties were too huge, with tens of billions of tons of building ruins, completely damaged infrastructure, etc., the Republic Marines did not give up the idea of ​​occupying New York. It was just a symbolic deployment of an infantry platoon on the Liberty Island in the Bay of New York, which was the island where the Statue of Liberty was placed, and the Republic's flag was inserted into the hands of the Statue of Liberty. After the battle, the Republic Marines also withdrew from the Greater New York area.

In fact, this is not over yet.

Because it was summer, and the basic medical system in the United States had already collapsed, and the area was the most concentrated area of ​​the United States. Tens of millions of war refugees remained nearby. So after the battle, in order to prevent the outbreak of plague, the Republic Marines had to dispatch engineering troops to dig a "moat" thousands of kilometers long in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut to introduce the water of the Hudson River, completely isolating the Greater New York area. Because this isolation method still cannot prevent bacteria and

The virus spread. Therefore, the Republic Marine Corps also mobilized more than four medical staff. Several temporary medical assistance points were set up in the surrounding areas of Greater New York, and medicines and disinfectants were distributed to the people in these areas for free. By mid-mouth, as the bodies in the ruins were severely decayed, the Republic Marine Corps had to second out hundreds of fire-fighting planes from the domestic fire department and ordered tens of thousands of tons of disinfectants, and continued to sprinkle disinfectants into the Greater New York area, especially the most serious Manhattan Island.

This action has turned the Greater New York area, especially Manhattan Island and Long Island into a true "death zone"

After the war, many people believed that it was this action that led to a huge humanitarian disaster.

The European Red Cross released an investigation report after the war, which claimed that at the end of the New York offensive and defensive war, there were still many survivors in the Greater New York area, with a total of millions and even believed that it was tens of millions. This was recognized by some Republic Marines, that is, when the troops withdrew from the Greater New York area, many civilians remained at homes that had turned into ruins, intending to rebuild their homes with their own hands, without receiving the help of the Republic Marines or going to refugee camps. In order to prevent thinness, the high concentration of disinfectant water thrown by the Republic Marines must be for people.

It was harmful and polluted the water source. What's even more terrible is that when the remaining civilians found that they could no longer survive, the Republic Marines had already built a "trench" of kilometers long and wider than liters on the periphery to block the escape route of civilians. At that time, it was the end of the month. The Republic Marines were worried that survivors had contracted diseases. There was not enough manpower to control these civilians, so they set up an isolation belt with sensor bombs to block the last hope of refugees. The Republic Navy set up a blockade on the sea to prevent refugees from flooding like other areas.

There is no doubt that if this is the case, it would be a tragic move.

In fact, there is indeed evidence to support the idea that decades after the war ended, some people still found sensor bombs specifically used to deal with personnel near the Greater New York area, and some people discovered several secret warehouses that were most likely used to store sensor bombs.

No matter what, New York was completely ruined.

It can be said that by the end of this battle, New York would no longer exist.

For American politicians, New York was destined to be history at the beginning of this battle. To put it bluntly, the Supreme Command of the Republic approved the operation of attacking New York, or ordered the Marines to attack New York. It was to use a destruction to force the US authorities to surrender. From this, it can be believed that whether intentional or not, the disaster in the greater New York area was man-made.

For Americans, this is indeed a disaster

As mentioned earlier, in the minds of Americans, this city, originally founded by the Dutch, was called New Amsterdam, and later occupied by the British. It was renamed New York, a city with New York's pronunciation theory, and is the symbol of the United States and the symbol of America's prosperity and strength. You should know that when the United States was at its peak, New York was not only the largest and most prosperous city in the world, but also the world's economic center and financial center. For example, at the beginning of the century, Wall Street was the place where financial enterprises were the most concentrated in the world, and it also controlled the global financial system. Until the end of the era, 60% of the world's gold was still lying in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank on Manhattan Island.

New York became a ruin and a dead city, marking the complete collapse of the American Jingwa will to resist.

At the beginning of the month, the US authorities once again sent a request for a ceasefire negotiation to the Republic through the Swiss government, and hoped that the Republic could ceasefire during negotiations.

Of course, the Republic's attitude has not changed, that is, before the U.S. authorities make decisive concessions, contacts can be made on the armistice negotiations, but there will be no persistent ceasefire during the contact period. If the U.S. authorities need to explain to the public, the Republic can declare temporary, such as a ceasefire that only lasts for hours.

Obviously, this is the Republic that is putting pressure on the United States.

When the US authorities were considering whether to make decisive concessions, the Republic Marines did not stop, but moved towards Philadelphia. You should know that at that time, the Marines had a total of three combat troops and could take turns to fight. If necessary, they could attack Philadelphia without preparation!

If Philadelphia becomes the second New York, the United States will become history!

You should know that Philadelphia is not only the original capital of the beautiful city, but also the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed and published!

At this point, the US authorities have no choice.

Continuing to resist, in addition to turning more American citizens into cannon fodder, will also permanently lose the opportunity to become a world power. Although as a loser, the US authorities have no reason to consider the post-war affairs, as the leader of a country, whether it is Ducheeway or those politicians who have been using the power of the state for profit, will try to preserve the foundation of a complete country as much as possible. A glimmer of hope will be preserved.

On the lunar month and on, the US authorities once again sent diplomatic notes to the Republic through Switzerland, and formally agreed to hold an armistice negotiation on the basis of unconditional surrender. To be precise, it was a surrender negotiation.

Only then did the peace reveal a glimmer of hope.

"Unconditional surrender" is just a term, not to say that the loser has no conditions to issue a surrender requirement. Since it is surrender, it means that the loser has a certain resistance and is qualified to obtain the corresponding rights and interests. Otherwise, there is no need to surrender, but to fight until he is completely defeated. It can be seen that the Republican authorities insist on the United States to surrender unconditionally, in fact, to ask the United States to offer surrender conditions within a reasonable range, rather than relying on some capital to make excessive demands, thereby harming the interests of the Republic.

Of course, there must be a standard for these conditions.

According to internationally recognized standards, in the case of unconditional surrender, the surrender party can only make requirements related to humanitarianism and basic national sovereignty, and cannot make requirements in terms of war criminals, occupied areas, regimes, etc. That is to say, the United States can require the Republic to ensure the basic power of American citizens, that is, the power to freely move, the security of life and property and the social status of free, etc., and it can also require the Republic to ensure that the United States is a unified, independent country managed by a central government.

In fact, this is also the main condition proposed by the United States.

In addition, the United States also put forward a condition that the victorious countries willing to send troops shall bear the occupation task, rather than the Republic shall bear the occupation task alone.

Obviously, this is the key!

You should know that Europe is also a victorious country and is definitely willing to undertake the task of occupation, so as long as the Republican authorities agree to this, the conditions are equivalent to giving Europe a reason to send troops to the United States, and also to giving the United States, or the Western world, the opportunity to make a comeback.

There is no doubt that the Republic's authorities will never accept such a request.

According to the conditions issued by the Republic authorities, in addition to basic rights, the Republic can only make appropriate concessions on the issue of war evil, that is, to form an international war court to judge war criminals, rather than unilaterally the Republic's trial of war criminals. Of course, the Republic must also guarantee the basic human rights of war criminals. As for the task of occupying the United States, the basic principle proposed by the Republic is to act within its means, that is, capable countries undertake occupation tasks, while incapable countries can only take the side. Because the Republic's navy holds the sea control power on the Atlantic Ocean and also controls the coastline of the United States, even if Europe has the means to send troops over, it cannot get the troops to board the beaches of the United States.

Obviously, this work request cannot be accepted by the US authorities!

After the failure of contact, the Supreme Command of the Republic approved the combat operation to attack Philadelphia and ordered the Marines to launch an attack no later than the end of the month.

In fact, this is equivalent to providing the US authorities with about half a month of decision-making time!
