Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 134, Unconditional Surrender

"On the lunar day, the countdown of the combat operations of the Republic Marines into Philadelphia. When millions of troops were at the city, the US authorities finally could not bear the huge pressure and announced unconditional surrender, and ordered all troops to stop all combat operations. The front-line troops surrendered to the Republican Team nearby, and the troops in the rear were on standby, waiting to accept the reorganization of the Republican Team.

This day is the end of World War III!

In fact, it was not only more than one million sharpened Marines that crushed the United States, but also the Republic Army, which had previously attacked the Great Lakes, occupied Buffalo, and crossed the border line at night, invaded Canada, and entered the downtown area of ​​Yataihua in the early morning of the four days.

In a certain sense, the combat operations of the Republic's Army are of decisive significance.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Republic Marine Corps is obvious to all, no one would suspect that they had swept the Pacific Legion, which covers nearly half of the earth's surface area. No one would suspect that they would take the lead in landing on the United States, but the disadvantages of the Republic Marine Corps were also exposed on the continental battlefield. You know, before landing on landing on the United States, the Republic Marine Corps had been fighting on the islands of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and had hardly participated in the battle on the mainland. It is undeniable that the Marine Corps' fighting intentions were the Marine Corps.

The Marines are no less ambition than the Army, or even more so than the Army, but in combat operations, the Marines rely more on maritime support, especially direct artillery fire support. They lack independent combat capabilities and even lack the ability to attack. Not to mention the operation of attacking New York, just take the operation of attacking Boston as an example. Without direct support from the Navy fleet and the Vital Support Fleet, the Marines will definitely pay a heavier price and even fail to complete the task. Of course, we cannot blame the Marines for this.

After all, the Marine Corps is originally a force that fights in the coastal area, and there is no need to go deep into the inland. The army is fighting on land. In terms of facilitating amphibious landing, the Marine Corps has no reason to equip a large number of logistics support forces to enhance independent combat capabilities, and to improve offensive capabilities, and to equip a large number of heavy equipment to improve offensive capabilities. You must know that many heavy equipment served during the war, especially the main ground combat equipment on the ground, could hardly be transported by the Marine Corps' vertical take-off and landing.

Aircraft transport. At least it cannot be transported directly, and it must be dismantled and transported. Go to the front line and then take time to assemble. For the army, this is not a big problem. After all, air assaults on the land battlefield are supported by ground troops, and they cannot be transported directly. They can take the road. Or wait until the assault troops stabilize their position before transporting them. For the Marine Corps, this is a serious problem, because there is absolutely no time or even no space for the Marine Corps officers and soldiers to assemble weapons and equipment!

In any case, the biggest difference between the Marines and the Army is here, and it is understandable, otherwise the Marines would not have the need to exist. From another perspective, on the inland battlefield, the Marines' performance is not better than the Army, so on the coastal battlefield, the Army's watches may not be better than the Marines.

It can be said that this is also the main reason why the Republican authorities divided the US local battlefield into two parts, allowing the Marines to be responsible for the coastal battlefield and the Army to be responsible for the inland battlefield.

The problem is that this is undoubtedly a silver lining for the US authorities.

To put it bluntly, before the Republic's Army joined the war, the US authorities also hoped to rely on the Alapachian Mountains to block the Republic's Marines' pace, and to hold armistice negotiations with the Republic while stabilizing the central and central and eastern regions, especially the Mississippi River Basin, and strive to obtain the best conditions for the armistice.

As the Republic's Army joined the war, this hope of the US authorities quickly fell into vain.

It must be admitted that the Republic Army performed very well.

You should know that the combat operations in the United States were made by General Yuan Chenhao, the Chief of Staff of the Republic and Chief of Staff of the Army, General Yuan Chenhao, after the war broke out, the Republic authorities broke down Chen Gui, restored the ranks of generals and marshals that were not established during peacetime, and made clear regulations on how to award these two ranks. That is, generals were mainly awarded to soldiers who made outstanding contributions to the war, while the marshals were only symbolic and had nothing to do with military positions. During the war, ten people including Yuan Chenhao and Hua Jianfeng, Liang Guoxiang of the Navy Aviation, Mei Lechi and Dai Xianglong of the Heavenly Army, Zhou Boyi of the Marine Corps, and others became the first generals to be officially awarded the rank of generals. Among them, Yuan Chenhao and Hua Jianfeng were the first to command them personally.

There is no doubt that Yuan Chenhao's ability does not need to be doubted.

At that time, almost many people believed that after the Republic Army landed in Boston, it would use the Detroit rate as its first target of entry, and follow the southward passage opened by the landing team, first go to New York, then go west, and advance along the routes of Harrisburg, Bedford, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Toledo to enter the Detroit rate. If it could manage to transport a batch of ships to the Great Lakes area, even hovercraft, the Republic Army might even cross Lake Erie directly after arriving in Cleveland and get ashore near the Detroit rate.

You should know that Detroit rate is the industrial center of the Great Lakes region of the United States.

There is no doubt that this is so tempting. Not to mention, the three well-known companies in American history, such as General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, all have headquarters in Detroit, so this city is also called the heart of industrialization in the United States, and the Xu team based on the city is called the Pistons. In short, although the Detroit rate is not the most populous city in the region, it is not as important as Chicago, but its importance is definitely more than other cities in the old district of the Great Lakes, and the symbolic regional center city.

More importantly, the geographical location of the Detroit rate is very unique. After occupying this city, the Republic's Army can march northward into Canada, along the isthmus between Lake Huron and Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario, and then advance to Yataihua along the north bank of the St. Lawrence River. Because this route is the most developed highway and railway trunk between the United States and Canada, there are many towns along the way that can be used as supply centers, so it is not difficult to march, and it is even much easier than the Republic's Army's combat operations on the Russian battlefield. If you don't go north, you can march westward. Capture Chicago, located on the west bank of Lake Michigan, and occupy this

The third-largest megacity in the United States, second only to New York and Loksan, has taken the largest mineral area in the United States. It lays the foundation for entering the Mississippi River Basin. Of course, at this time, the Republican Army may not necessarily need to go deep into the hinterland of the United States, so it can also go south from Deter's lead to capture major cities in the central and eastern United States such as Indianapolis and Nashville to complete the established offensive tasks. Even if you take a step back, you do not need to occupy such a vast area. You can also use the Deter's lead as a base to make full use of the convenient water transportation of the Great Lakes region, march eastward, and sweep the northeastern region of the United States at a lower cost.

In short, almost everyone thinks that the Republic Army has no reason not to rank towards Det

.

The problem is that the Republic Army did not advance towards Detroit, but instead targeted Buffalo.

Judging from the situation at that time, Yuan Chenhao decided to attack Buffalo first, for only one reason. That is, the combat operations of the Republic's Army in the hinterland of the United States were not sufficiently guaranteed. To put it bluntly, there is no guarantee of the logistics supply of the Republic's Army's combat troops. You should know that transporting supplies from Boston to Buffalo on the east shore of Lake Erie is about half shorter than transporting them to Detts in the west, which means that the difficulty of logistics support is reduced by half. There is no doubt that this has a lot to do with the Republic's Navy and the Marine Corps. Without the support of the Navy, even if the Army intends to make great efforts on the American battlefield, there is no room for development.

In this way, Yuan Chenhao had to be careful of Li Ran's limited combat power.

Of course, there is a very likely reason to attack Buffalo, that is, the Supreme Command of the Republic has lost patience over Canada's reluctance to surrender, hoping that Canada can surrender before the United States. In this way, in addition to being able to control Canada calmly and not insert mobile phones into Europe, it can also put pressure on the US authorities. Because the US authorities are likely to collapse completely after losing the last ally, the latter purpose is more obvious.

In fact, from the perspective of the army's combat operations, it is mainly to capture Yataihua.

In any case, as the Republic Army's armored force Niagara crossed the border and attacked Canada, and swept across the Toronto area, the most concentrated population in Canada, as if it had entered a no-man's land. Without the time of reaction to the Royal Canadian Army, the US authorities had no reason to doubt the Republic Army's combat effectiveness on the North American continent, nor did they have any reason to doubt the Republic's determination to defeat the United States with a ground war and achieve final victory.

Of course, there is also the Republic Marines in Philadelphia.

Taking these factors into consideration, the only option for the US authorities is to surrender.

The problem is that even if the US authorities make the decision to surrender unconditionally, and it is a true unconditional surrender, the war will not end overnight.

On the lunar month, the Republic Marines occupied Philadelphia without any blood and met representatives sent by the US authorities.

On the last day of the month, representatives of the U.S. authorities arrived in Xindu, the Republic and made their first official contact with a certain U.S. authorities went to Shanghai on the old month and announced the decision of the U.S. authorities to representatives of the intensive group headquarters to representatives of all members of the group.

At this time, the delegations of the Republic and the United States had negotiated the signing of the surrender. Although according to the meaning of the US authorities, we should try to be as low-key as possible. After all, this is not a glorious four-inverter, the attitude of the Republic authorities is very clear. This has affected hundreds of countries and billions of people around the world, rather than local wars. As a defeated country that creates and initiates wars, since it surrenders unconditionally, it is not qualified to bargain with the victorious countries that have suffered huge damage to the war on the issue of signing the surrender. There is no reason to be a low-key move. As a post-war statistics, the military and civilians on both sides of the war have returned tens of thousands of yuan to attract B, and the actual number is much larger. According to estimates by some civilian institutions, during the war, the military and civilians who died directly from the war were above the ones.

Among them, the civilians alone exceeded the 10,000. There were countless civilians who died due to unrest, famine, plague and other disasters caused by war, and even natural disasters created by man-made. The conservative estimate will not be less than three times the number of soldiers and civilians who died directly in the war, and the highest estimate is twice. In other words, this war claimed the lives of 100 million to 100 million people, which is equivalent to the total population of the world before the outbreak of the war. Of course, this estimate also has been supported by demographic statistics, that is, according to the population statistics and statistics released by countries around the world in the previous year and in the wounded year, the different world wide body mass has reduced the global population. It is necessary to use the impressive surrender ceremony of the people and various other means to alert future generations to avoid similar tragedies again.

At the insistence of the Republic authorities, the signing ceremony of surrender was scheduled on the old month's naval warship. The location was on the Republic's naval warship in the Chesapeake Bay. The representative of the Republic's central government was Jiao Meishan, the representative of the Republic's ** team and the Republic's army was General Yuan Chenhao, the representative of the Republic's Navy was General Zhang Xuefeng, the commander of the Atlantic Theater Fleet, the representative of the Republic's Heavenly Army was General Meilechi, and the representatives of the Republic's Marines were General Zhou Boyi. In addition, all member states of the intensive group will send representatives to participate in the surrender ceremony. Among them, the representatives of India, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Argentina and Europe will sign the agreement as the victorious parties, while other countries will only send representatives to participate in the ceremony.

As for whom the United States will send to attend the surrender ceremony, it is the US authorities' affairs.

There are two most eye-catching things in this list. One is that Pei Chengyi did not attend the surrender ceremony. This is easier to understand. After all, Pei Chengyi is the head of state of the Republic and will definitely leave office after the war. There is no need to attend such an event that has a significant impact on the post-war world pattern. There is no need to stand with the leaders of the defeated country and sign the same agreement. What is incomprehensible is that General Hua Jianfeng did not appear on the list. You must know that even in the eyes of most of the army officers and soldiers of the Republic, Hua Jianfeng's contribution in this war is no less than Yuan Chenhao. It can be said that they are the two pillars of the Republic. More importantly, because Pei Chengyi himself is a very smart and talented army commander, Yuan Chenhao was always controlled, and Hua Jianfeng's status is irreplaceable. Of course, in the battle against the United States, the navy's contribution is far from that in the battle against the United States. More importantly, because Pei Chengyi himself is a very smart and talented army commander, Yuan Chenhao is always controlled, and Hua Jianfeng's status is irreplaceable. Of course, the navy's contribution is also far away in combat with the United States. More importantly, the navy's contribution is also far.

It is far beyond the army. It can be seen that the most qualified representative of the Republic's ** team to attend the surrender ceremony, and the person who signed the surrender letter to the United States was not Yuan Chenhao, but Hua Jianfeng. The problem is that Hua Jianfeng's official identity is only the naval advisor of the head of state of the Republic, not the chief of staff, and there is no formal military position. Another thing that cannot be ignored is that Hua Jianfeng is a few years older than Pei Chengyi. He will definitely retire after the war, and Yuan Chenhao will still

Young enough, even if he took off his military uniform, he would follow Pei Chengyi and enter the political circle. Obviously, it was not that Hua Jianfeng did not want to attend the surrender ceremony. Instead, he gave up this opportunity to show up to Yuan Chenhao. As compensation, the signing location of the surrender letter was not set on land, but on the navy's warships, and on the open-air deck of a main battleship, to demonstrate the navy's great contribution to the US warfare and the brilliant achievements of the navy.

Of course, the key is not who is qualified to participate in the surrender ceremony, but the struggle behind the surrender ceremony.

The most eye-catching thing is not that Hua Kufeng did not go to the Chesapeake Bay, but that the representatives of Europe appeared on the list and participated in the signing ceremony as the main victorious country. That is to say, Europe's significant contribution to this war was recognized by the Republic. Although in reality, Europe's contribution in this war is not as good as India. You should know that India provides the intensive group with about one-third of the food, one-quarter of the minerals, more than twenty percent of the quilts and tents, and nearly one

The majority of the medicines produced are over 50 million laborers, most of which work in ports and war material centers in India. Only a small amount is sent overseas, and it is a group's material transit center in the Indian Ocean. More importantly, India has assumed the important task of post-group reconstruction, providing a large amount of materials for reconstruction to many group member states, including the Republic. However, in the ranking of the signing ceremony, the European representative is behind the Republic's representative and has a higher status than India. It also surpasses other intensive group member states.

It can be said that if this was not an arrangement by the Republican authorities, it would definitely be difficult to accept by other member states.

While giving enough face to Europe, the Republic's authorities did not give in on issues closely related to substantive interests. For example, until the beginning of planning for the surrender ceremony, the Republic did not agree to send troops to Europe to the North American continent, that is, there was no need for European legions to undertake the occupation task. In comparison, the Republic not only allowed major member states such as Pakistan, Iran, and Sudan to send troops to participate in the war to occupy the United States and Canada, but also allowed secondary member states such as Iraq, Syria, Kenya, and Nigeria to share the fruits of victory. In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the intensive group members tolerate Europe's share of the results of the war, that is, what Europe has gained is only reputation and no substantial benefits.

Obviously, this also became the direct motivation for the rapid opposition between the Republic and Europe after the war and the two poles of the world.

In a sense, a Europe that has not been able to gain enough benefits in the war will never be willing to watch the war end like this. Therefore, the European authorities absolutely do not want the United States to give up its resistance and surrender to the Republic. As long as there is a chance, Europe will destroy the hard-won peace!

Peace that has not shed enough blood is obviously not stable enough!
