Chapter 697 Canada-US Border Battle

There is a huge difference between the current American system and the American system in later generations. Because of its limited involvement in World War I, the United States has not yet abolished segregation laws between states.

In layman's terms, the U.S. Army has no right to enter states without the permission of the states. Otherwise, the states have the right to regard the actions of the U.S. Army as an invasion.

Each state also has its own troops, and the National Guard is not necessarily weaker than the U.S. Army.

Especially in some states with greater power, if the governor is dissatisfied with the president, he can blacklist the president from the state and prohibit the president from entering the state's land.

Yes, it sounds as incredible as it sounds.

Although the federal system allowed the United States to quickly acquire a large amount of land, it took just over 100 years to connect the east and west coasts of the United States.

But the huge price paid is the disunity among the states. The states still have huge power, and they can even openly refuse to listen to the instructions and announcements.

What the U.S. Secretary of State is worried about is that, in addition to the inability of more than 100,000 troops to be deployed to all states, the combined number of National Guards in each opposing state is greater than the number of the U.S. Army.

In the U.S. military development strategy, the Army has always been a stepmother, and it is really not necessarily the opponent of the National Guard of each state.

If the civil war is allowed to start smoothly in the states, the rebellions in the states may have torn the United States into pieces before the enemy arrives.

Without even waiting for a coalition army, the United States can automatically split into three or four countries and then wait for the coalition army to come.

As for the current US government, it will be good if it can maintain the basic base of 13 states in the chaos, so don't think too much about other lands.

"Damn it! Where are those consortiums? Now is the time for them to contribute, right? Tell those damn capitalists that if we lose the war, they will definitely be the culprits in the flu and economic crisis. The British will not let us go, and the same I won't let these fat men go." President Hoover asked angrily. ♢

Most of the wealth in the United States is in the hands of financial groups, which control most of the say in the government.

If the U.S. government does not have the support of the consortium, the hope of winning this war is very slim, and it can even be said that it is basically doomed to failure.

"Mr. President, this may be very difficult." The Secretary of State smiled bitterly and explained: "As early as when the economic crisis first broke out, some capital was already flowing out to Europe or Australia and other regions.

Although we cannot ensure that all consortiums have migrated, the vast majority of consortiums already have a retreat and cannot help us at all costs.

Mr. President, you should understand that we no longer have any foreign aid. To capitalists, it doesn't matter whether the United States exists or not, as long as their consortium and assets exist.

Compared with the United States, which is riddled with holes, Australia, which has not been affected by the economic crisis, is their priority.

If you have no way of finding more support for us, then I suggest you think about the point of this war.

Mr. President, there is no need for us to create more casualties. This is unhelpful to us and the United States.

With the current chaos in America, I don't think you can lead America to victory unless you have God's support. "Secretary of State Lights has obviously decided to quit. He does not want to die with President Hoover, even if his position was given to him by President Hoover.

"Mr. Wrights, what are you talking about?" President Hoover looked at Wrights with an angry face and said in disbelief: "Damn it, you should understand what the British want to do.

If we give up our resistance, the United States will cease to exist, and we will become the sinners of the United States and the American nation! "

"Even if this is the case, it is better than creating more unnecessary casualties, right? Mr. President." Secretary of State Lights retorted: "With all due respect, Mr. President, we have no advantages in the army and navy, and we have not gained the public It is simply impossible to win this war without support.

If we negotiate peace with the British, we may only need to pay the land of a few states to resolve this dispute.

Do you think starting a civil war is the best outcome? If a civil war breaks out, let alone maintaining the unity of the United States, the U.S. government will cease to exist, and the United States will become a colony of the great powers. This will be the end of you and me, and all Americans. "

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Americans have high hopes for President Hoover, who believe that he can lead Americans out of the economic crisis and lead the United States toward revival and strength.

Unexpectedly, President Hoover's economic inaction seriously aggravated the economic crisis in the United States, and his political inaction seriously aggravated the chaos in the United States. This led to the United States facing such a serious situation.

Even without the joint army, the United States is still facing the independence demands of various states and conflicts among blacks, as well as tens of millions of unemployed people.

Any one of them can seriously strain the United States, not to mention that several crises will follow one after another.

In such a bad situation, let alone President Hoover, what would happen even if the founding father, President Washington, came?

The meeting ended with a quarrel between President Hoover and Letters, and no useful decisions were made.

But the war will not wait for the U.S. government to make a decision before advancing. Before the U.S. government could react, the Panama Canal was breached by Central American coalition forces, and the United States officially lost its lifeline.

In the next few days, the Australasian army quickly landed on Johnston Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, Guam, Wake Island and Midway Island, and finally landed on the Hawaiian Islands on July 17.

The U.S. military garrison on the Hawaiian Islands is much larger than the Samoyed garrison, but it is only more than 2,000 strong.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Australasian army adopted a method of carpet bombing to clear the way, using a large number of aircraft and warships to launch frantic bombing of the Hawaiian Islands.

This strategic bridgehead in the Pacific, regarded by the United States as a transit point in the Pacific, only lasted three days under the powerful guns of Australasia.

The few hundred remaining American soldiers on the island soon surrendered with white flags, which also announced that Australasia had officially unified Oceania and became the only country in the world that monopolizes a continent.

The United States, which has lost the Panama Canal and Hawaii, is now like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for the occupation and carving up of the United States by the coalition forces.

After hearing about the overwhelming victory of the Australasian and Central American coalition forces, the coalition forces in the Atlantic direction were also excited and couldn't wait to rush to the east coast of the United States, preparing to obtain the fruits of their victory.

On July 18, more than 10,000 troops from the Canadian Dominion engaged in fierce fighting with the US army on the southern border.

At this time, Canada did not gain diplomatic independence, so when Britain declared war on the United States, Canada automatically entered a state of war with the United States.

However, Canada is not in a hurry to act. After all, Canada's strength alone is not enough to compete with the United States.

It was not until the first batch of tens of thousands of coalition troops arrived in Canada that the Canadian army launched operations.

The location of the exchange of fire is said to be the border, but it is actually quite deep into the territory of the United States.

This is also something that can't be helped. The border between the United States and Canada is very long. Even if more than 100,000 troops are deployed, it will be impossible to station all the border.

This has also resulted in a long stretch of border being vacant, with only a small number of border posts and local police defense forces.

Such a defensive force obviously could not stop the Canadian army, and it also allowed Canada to quickly enter Maine.

If the local police had not discovered and reported the whereabouts of the Canadian troops, the U.S. military might not have been able to react when the Canadian troops captured Augusta, the capital of Maine.

Of course, it's definitely not too early. The fighting between the U.S. and Canadian troops was very close to Augusta, which meant that most of Maine had fallen.

What's worse is that Maine, as a region in the northeastern United States, is very close to New York, the largest city in the United States, which means that New York is also in great danger.

Even if the US army mobilized nearly 30,000 troops for this purpose, it could only barely block the Canadian army from Augusta.

Because compared to a well-prepared joint army, the problems currently facing the U.S. Army are quite serious.

It's not a matter of troop sources. After all, the United States has a population of hundreds of millions, and there is still no shortage of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

But the problem is that compared to soldiers, the United States has the most serious vacancies in grassroots officers.

The main reason for this problem is that the U.S. military has remained at tens of thousands all year round. Even during World War I, it only expanded to hundreds of thousands. The war was won before the training was completed.

Even before the outbreak of the World War, the highest active general in the U.S. Army was only a brigadier general, which is enough to show the U.S. Army's reserve of officers.

The biggest problem faced by this situation is that when the number of troops is expanded several times in a short period of time, the vacancies of middle and lower-level officers are extremely serious.

It's not so serious for high-level military officers. After all, American military academies produce quite a few mid- to high-level military officers every year.

But the vacancies at the lowest level of officers are quite serious. The lowest-level officers either rely on their rich experience or their strength in the flames of war. It is not easy to train them in a short period of time.

It is too late to set up a school specifically to train low-level officers. The war may be over before the school is built.

Moreover, this problem also reflects a more serious problem, that is, the actual combat level of middle- and lower-level American officers is not that high.
