Chapter 287 Pete
In 1917, U.S. President Wilson called for a special session of Congress. Members of the House and Senate gathered in a conference room. When President Wilson quickly entered the conference room, they all stood up. President Wilson stood there to calm down for a while, and then he
He made a speech: "I am fully aware of the seriousness of the actions Lou is taking, and I recommend that Congress declare that the recent actions taken by the German government are essentially a declaration of war against the United States." "It is a very terrible thing for peace-loving people to go into war.
things, but justice is more precious than peace. What we are fighting for is what we have always cherished, democracy, rights and the freedom of small countries, and to unite the free people of the world.
Bringing peace and security to the nations of the world.β
President Wilson's passionate speech made many congressmen shed tears. They felt that President Wilson's request was extremely serious. When President Wilson left the Capitol and returned to the White House, the crowds lining the streets outside the Capitol cheered President Wilson.
President Wilson sat in the car and shook his head sadly. He said: "Think carefully about what they are cheering for. The speech I delivered today brought a message of death to our young people, but they
The ground cheered."
On April 6, 1917, Congress approved the declaration of war against Germany.
The Allied Powers welcome the United States to join the war. This war is getting worse and worse for the Allied Powers. They have lost a large number of troops, money and supplies. The Allied Powers' warships are being attacked more and more severely by German submarines, causing heavy losses. The British naval blockade is extremely
The lands reduced Germany's food supply, and now Britain itself faced severe food shortages. Allied representatives traveled to Washington to explain to the United States what they needed. They needed supplies, especially food, and it was urgent. They also needed money so they could buy them.
For supplies, they needed ships to move supplies from the United States to Europe, and they needed American soldiers.
President Wilson and Congress worked together to commit the nation to war. Congress gave Wilson new wartime powers, and he quickly established a commission to build ships, increase industrial production, and control the nation's transportation: He established a
Agricultural institutions to increase food production and food exports: He established an information committee to gain popular support for the war effort. Wilson's efforts were successful. The Allies soon obtained the ships they needed from the United States,
Supplies, funds, and more importantly, they soon received American soldiers.
The military leaders of the Allied Powers said that they only needed about 500,000 American troops, but the United States decided to form a larger army. Soon, a large number of American troops crossed the Atlantic and came to Europe. They will fight Germany in the western battlefield of Europe.
.This new force obtained by the Allied Powers will play an extremely important role in defeating Germany. To know what happens next, please see the breakdown next week.
Soon, the American troops arrived on the European continent. They paraded in the streets of Paris, and the French warmly welcomed their arrival. The French cheered on these young American soldiers and threw flowers and missiles at them.
American troops arrived at the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette, a leader of the French army who traveled to the United States to help the Americans during the American Revolutionary War.
The Americans wanted to repay the Fagu people for their help more than a hundred years ago. An American officer gave a speech at Lafayette's cemetery. He said: "Lafayette, we Americans are here!"
Yes, the Americans are coming, and they are ready for the bloodiest battle yet.
Week after week, more and more American troops came to Europe. By 191
In October 1977, the total number of U.S. troops arriving in Europe reached 100,000. The commander leading the U.S. troops in Europe was General John Pershing. General Pershing's troops did not directly participate in the battle, but were training, building bases and preparing supplies.
.Then he sent a small force to the border of Switzerland and Germany. The American army fought a short but very fierce battle with the German army.
The Germans knew that the U.S. military had not fought a war before, so they tried to use bayonets and guns to fight fiercely with the U.S. troops!
The American soldiers who had never fought in a war were obviously panicked by this, but an American lieutenant colonel commanding this small force stepped forward in time and commanded the troops to challenge the German attack.
The name of this brave lieutenant colonel is Cornwell S. Pitt.
Lieutenant Colonel Pete!
A warrior who returned to the United States from distant China to join the war!
He has rich combat experience in China. In Sichuan, China, he participated in countless battles and was even awarded the rank of major general because of his bravery!
This has never happened before in the history of China.
Moreover, he also has deep connections in the United States. His predecessors participated in the Civil War and won widespread respect. His family runs a good business in the United States and China.
More importantly, Americans who have never fought in a war are in great need of such an officer with rich practical experience!
Peter was assigned to the 2nd Division to command an infantry regiment. The few Chinese people he brought with him were said to have the same rich combat experience, and they were also assigned to Peter's unit.
The current situation makes Peter a little annoyed. Currently, he only has one company in his hands, and they are all on the battlefield for the first time. But opposite him, there are Germans with rich battlefield experience.
"Iron, iron!" Pete shouted loudly.
"What are you doing?" Kurogane asked loudly, firing a shot at the other side.
Several rounds of bullets were fired, and Peter hid behind the bunker: "What should I do now?" Heitie glared at him fiercely: "You are the regiment commander, I am just the company commander, what should I do, you ask me?"
"God!" Pete was a little annoyed.
Yes, he is a regiment leader, which is a pretty big official, but he has never commanded a battle alone! If Wang Hengyue is by his side now, then he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Braving the rain of bullets and running to Kurogane's side, Peter seemed a little confused: "Damn it, Tie, help me think of a way. These people are all rookies. They have never fought in a war. We will collapse easily!" Kurogane didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
, who is the chief here? If Hengshuai hadn't told him repeatedly before going abroad that he must protect Peter, then he would have wanted to kick him hard and then turn around and leave.
I thought it would only be a few days in the United States, but who would have thought that after wandering at sea for so many days, I became seasick again and almost vomited out the gall.
He glared at Pete bitterly: "You see, the Germans want to attack from there, and then use bayonets to wipe us out! You lead the people to hold on there, and if anyone escapes, shoot them!" "gck!" Pete Xing
γHe responded enthusiastically: "What about you?" "I will take a few people and go around the edge to kill the Germans!"
"0k!" Pete responded again and picked up the gun: "Boys, the Germans are not scary. Defeat them and enter Paris. There are a lot of beautiful girls waiting for us there. Fight for the girls!"
The nerves of the American soldiers were suddenly stimulated: "Fight for the girl!" These Americans, who had never fought in a war, were firing randomly at the opposite side with no aim at all, but they did not care about the consumption of bullets.
France, but it really suppressed the Germans temporarily.
God, it turns out those Germans are scared too!
A young American soldier cheered and popped his head out carelessly. Then, while he was still cheering, a man suddenly fell down.
he died.
"What the hell, what the hell!" Pete shouted: "Don't look up, don't look up!"
The American soldiers who saw a dead person on the battlefield for the first time suddenly became panicked. Oh my God, people would really die!
"Shoot, shoot, hell, shoot!" Pete shouted angrily.
The Germans pressed forward again, and the well-trained German army did not take these rookies seriously.
However, gunshots suddenly rang out from the German flank, and the two Germans fell to the ground without saying a word.
The Germans were a little confused and didn't know where the gunfire came from.
Peter knew this was black iron and they started to take action: "God guarantees, charge!"
"God guarantees it, go for it!"
The chaotic American soldiers rushed out desperately. It was supposed to be the German attack, but now it became the American attack.
A mess of war bulls!
Black Iron originally wanted to suppress the Germans for a while before sending out an attack signal, but who would have thought that the American would rush out out of nowhere?
You blow your beard and stare in anger, but what can you do against these rookies?
"Captain, what should I do?" asked the subordinate Kurogane brought from China.
"What to do? Attack!" Kurogie rushed out!
It was too chaotic, it was really too chaotic. Americans, Chinese, and Germans were fighting together in chaos. The Germans were very skilled in stabbing, but these Americans were very brave at this time.
Especially those black people, who didn't know how to use a bayonet, were really risking their lives there.
The number of Germans was really small. After stabbing a dozen Americans, they finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to retreat.
This group of American soldiers was stunned for a long time. Then they suddenly realized that the Germans had really retreated. Did they win?
"God, we won!" Chaotic cheers broke out, "We won, we won!"
Peter hugged Heitie: "Iron, iron, did you see it? We won, we won!" Heitie couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of victory is this?
Eleven American soldiers died and seven or eight were injured. The Germans only threw away three corpses and then retreated. What the hell kind of victory is this?
Chapter completed!
