Tu Mei Chapter 100 Farewell, America

Chen Tian’s prophecy became a reality again.

Although the fierce naval battle in Cuba waters was decided at noon, the battle did not end until the evening. Under the attack of German naval and air, the US Navy finally chose to give up. The heavy-hit battleships "Oklahoma", "Washington" and "California" raised a white flag on the masts. The fleet commander General Edward Eberly also died in the battle. Only one light patrol team in the entire fleet was able to escape. It was midnight in Berlin. From the royal government to the officers and the people, countless people were woken up in their sleep. Although they had lost a good dream, they found that victory had come.

Although he had not slept for a night after that, Chen Tian was in a very good mood because he knew that such a result would be enough to end the war in a very favorable situation, and Germany's biggest potential enemy in the next twenty years would finally lose the power of a change of hand.

The next day, Chen Tian, ​​as the supreme commander of the German armies, announced the news of the victory of the Cuban Navy to the whole country, encouraging the military and civilians to unite and work hard under the banner of German, and strive to completely defeat the stubborn enemy as soon as possible.

On September 5, under the powerful offensive of the German-Mexico coalition forces, the Cuban armed police force and their American officers finally put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender, and the entire Cuba fell.

After joining the aircraft carrier formation led by Prince Heinrich, Scher did not bother to do more rest and only left the seriously damaged battleships, two battle patrols and some light ships in Cuba, and then led the main force of the German Atlantic Fleet to the north. On September 9, the fleet arrived outside the Chesapeake Bay.

110 years ago, the British fleet sailed from here and landed in Maryland, not far from Washington, and staged a good show of burning Washington. At this time, the German fleet's strength was far stronger than the British fleet that came to America during the British-American War. Unfortunately, at this time, the mines of Germany and the United States covered with the Chesapeake Bay blocked the German fleet's way forward, but the German fleet continued to launch artillery and large-scale air strikes on the Norfolk military port and surrounding targets in the following week. Washington, 200 kilometers away, could also deeply understand the powerful power of the German fleet.

At this time, despite his reluctance, Washington conveyed his willingness to end the war through peace talks to Berlin through the neutral Portuguese government.

The German government does not comment on this.

In the next week, the iron hooves of German armored troops swept across Louisiana, New Orleans, Baton Rouge and other important cities in the southeastern United States. At this time, all the oil industrial areas in the southeastern United States had fallen into the hands of the German-Mexico coalition forces.

On September 14, the German-Mexico coalition forces launched the San Francisco Battle with the cooperation of the German, Japanese and Mexican joint fleets. Two days later, the most important port city on the west coast of the United States was captured by the coalition forces, and the entire California state fell three days later.

At this point, during the 1925 US-Mexico War, the United States forced Mexico to ced the grounds of California, Texas, and New Mexico to return to the control of the Mexicans. The Mexican government immediately announced that the above three states would return to the Mexican territory. The US government refused to recognize the Mexican decision, but the subsequent counterattack launched by the US Army was once again shattered by the German-Mexico coalition forces.

On September 17, under the escort of the German Navy, more than 2,000 German Army soldiers landed in Nassau, the Bahamas. The archipelago, which was managed by the United States after Britain's defeat, quickly became a new colony of Germany. Although the archipelago has more than 3,000 islands and reefs, only 30 people can live in it, mainly marine resources and crops, with a local population of less than 300,000. There is only one large port in Nassau. It is less than 200 kilometers away from the Florida Peninsula in the United States.

Subsequently, the Guderry Division A approached the Florida Peninsula on land, and the Navy and Marine Corps were also actively preparing to attack this very important peninsula from the sea. On the other hand.

Germany has deployed strategic bombers in the US-Mexico border area. Cuba, Newfoundland and Guadeloupe have reached 5 wings in total. Day-after-day bombing has allowed reserve pilots and novices to grow rapidly. In Germany, young people of appropriate age actively sign up for bomber pilot training. Four new Donier DD long-range bomber wings are being formed. Major domestic aircraft factories are also working at full capacity to produce such air giants, with a monthly output of more than 1,000!

Although the U.S. military has strengthened its air defense force on major industrial areas and urban areas, in the first half of September, bombs landing on the United States every day were nearly doubled in August, with more than 20,000 tons of high-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs and even chemical bombs every week. The losses of Americans' material and morale are increasing day by day.

Washington finally couldn't hold back and they directly sent people to propose a formal armistice negotiation request to the German government.

Seeing that the time for peace talks had arrived, the German government accepted the Americans' request for a ceasefire negotiation. On September 22, the warring sides announced a ceasefire for three days and began the most important negotiation of the century with the US representative in Atlanta where the two armies intersected.

The US government, which has lost its initiative in land, sea and air, appears extremely passive at the negotiating table, but they still hope to withdraw from the war in a "decent way", otherwise the US will "fight to the last person."

On the conditions of negotiations, some differences arose between Germany and Mexico. In addition to land requirements, the Mexicans also hope to disintegrate the United States to completely eliminate the military threat of the United States. Germany does not want to see any country dominate North America, whether it is British Canada, the United States or Mexico. Therefore, it only intends to allow Mexico to obtain some land in the southern United States. Germany will obtain the five northeastern states of the United States and Washington State in the northwest in the name of lease, Montana as a base for attacking Canada, and the Panama Canal becomes the Free Canal, which is neither bounded or governed by any country, nor is it allowed to dispatch one army and one soldier.

As one of the participating countries, the Japanese government became active again at this time. They not only shamelessly sent representatives to the negotiating table, but also made unreasonable demands to the US government for the Aleutian Islands, Alaska and the lease of ports on the West Coast, which greatly affected the mentality of the US government and representatives. If they continued to develop, it might even force the Americans to decide to fight to the death.

In this case, the German government commissioned a negotiating delegation to hold private talks with the Americans, and the Americans were also very interested in the proposal of a private negotiation between Germany and the United States. After a secret talks with the plenipotentiary representatives of the two countries, the two sides basically reached an agreement on the conditions for the armistice, that is, the United States recognizes California, Texas, and New Mexico to re-assign Mexico; Germany occupy Cuba and the Bahamas; Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, and Huasheng, which borders Canada, borders Canada.

Ton State, Montana and Massachusetts on the northeast coast, Connecticut was occupied by Germany by lease. These places will be used as pedals for Germany to attack British Canada. Regardless of whether the war is going on or not, they will be returned to the United States immediately after the expiration of the 10-year lease period; the United States abandons the National Defense Act and the Selection of Military Recruitment Act. The army remains below 200,000 people, the National Guard shall not exceed 300,000 people, the Navy shall not have more than 300,000 tons of battleships, nor shall aircraft carriers and submarines above 1,000 tons.

After obtaining the approval of the German Emperor, the German delegation secretly reached an oral armistice agreement with the US government on September 25.

As the three-day deadline is approaching, but the negotiations are still large, after Mexico and Japan agree, Germany announced that it would postpone the armistice period, and the United States agreed.

With the German private promise, the US representatives' tone at the negotiating table became much tougher. Mexico proposed that the six southern states belong to Mexico, and the other states' autonomy was naturally rejected. The Japanese also encountered a nail in asking for the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. From the change in the attitude of the US side and the silence of the German representatives, coupled with some previous rumors, the representatives of Mexico and Japan also saw some clues.

Without Germany's support, Mexico knew it was powerless to fight alone, and the Japanese were originally doing speculative and storming business this time, and they were helpless when they encountered this situation. As a result, on September 29, the last day of the armistice period, the Mexican government finally withdrew its request to leave the United States in a state of division, but added a request to pay $5 billion in war compensation by the US government. After bargaining, the United States agreed to pay $3.2 billion. After Japan was allowed to rent several ports on the west coast of the United States, it also stopped when it was better. The two sides quickly reached an agreement and signed the Treaty of Atlanta in the afternoon.

The Treaty of Atlanta signed by the warring parties declared the end of the 75-day war. After losing 90% of the naval and aviation forces and forty percent of the army, the United States once again lost nearly half of the coastline and San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, and Boston, the most important ports, the remaining large ports - New Orleans, Orlando, and New York, were also close to ruins in German bombing and offensives. Among the eight ports, only the Port of Superior, the Great Lakes Region, can still be used normally.

The military and territory losses have not had the greatest impact on the United States. The 75-day war and the continuous bombing of the Luftwaffe put the US economy into chaos. The southern industrial zone no longer exists. The northeast industrial zone has lost more than 60% of the factory buildings and equipment. Only the Great Lakes Industrial Zone can provide the country with necessary industrial products. The loss of ports has an immeasurable impact on a former trading power like the United States. Washington is still intact, but the failure of the war has caused the people's confidence in the government to fall to the lowest point of time. The good business environment that was once detached from the world has disappeared. The government called on the people to actively rebuild their homes, but investors are now more willing to invest their funds in Europe with stable situations or Africa with rich resources.

The ten-year lease period has rapidly Germanized the northeast and northwest of the United States, and a large amount of German goods and funds have entered the hinterland of the United States from here. With the encouragement and participation of the German government, German capital has gradually controlled many American factories and shipyards. Any pro-German German-Americans or pure American politicians can receive large funding from Germany, which has an self-evident impact on the political situation of the United States. The United States is no longer an American United States.

Warren Harding quickly passed away in depression after resigning in dismay. The competition for the new president began between former Vice President Carl Coolidge and former Business Secretary Herbert Clark Hoover. But whoever took over the White House was unable to change the upcoming economic crisis and the ongoing Great Depression after the war. The United States' position in the world economy and trade has been completely replaced by Germany.

In the south, Germany still maintained a good economic and military cooperation relationship with Mexico. Although the German army gradually withdrew from Mexico, the German instructors, weapons, technology and even tactical ideas had a far-reaching impact on the Mexican army. Within three years after the end of the war, Germany successively transferred the Kai-class, King-class battleships and some escort aircraft carriers to Mexico at low prices, and tailored an air force for Mexico that cannot be underestimated, allowing the strong and powerful Mexico to threaten the southern states of the United States at all times.

Losing its strong economic and industrial pillars, America is no longer the same as before. Although it still has 8 million square kilometers of land and more than 100 million people, even Mexico alone can no longer defeat it!

In October 1924, the first German soldiers who went to North America returned to their hometowns. They were welcomed by the national and national heroes. The navy won the highest praise, but the medals were awarded more to the air fighters. It was their bravery that changed history. A war that was believed to be fought for at least one year ended in just two and a half months. They made great contributions.

With the end of the war, more than 1,000 pilots captured by the US military due to their landlines being shot down were able to return to Germany. They were not regarded as losers, but were praised by the German Emperor and the Supreme Command, and continued to serve in the front-line troops of the Air Force.

The mission of the Luftwaffe strategic bomber force did not end with the end of the German-US war. The Donier DD bomber stationed in Newfoundland soon began bombing Canada. In the northeast and northwestern states of the United States, the German occupation forces quickly established a series of air bases, and the bombers taking off from there could fly directly to the heart of Canada for bombing.
