Washington, when Chairman Daniel walked into the office, the colonel in charge of intelligence mission rushed in in panic and informed him of the news that shocked him, Salt Lake City and Ogden, who were attacked by a large number of armored forces at around 11 o'clock and 3 o'clock last night, were respectively confirmed.

They received a telegram last night but did not record it. However, there were records on the telegram machine. They were preparing to destroy these records. However, similar telegrams were sent one after another, especially places close to Salt Lake City. After all, there were fires lit up last night. Not to mention dozens of kilometers, you can see one or two hundred kilometers away. These slant evidence, plus some other news, all pointed to here. Salt Lake City and Ogden, the latter was just a small city with about 10,000 people, but Salt Lake City is the capital of the state. There is a problem with such a city. No one can cover it. Whether it is foreign enemies or bandits, this is a shocking event and no one can cover it.

Moreover, the telegram was not directed to them alone, but was distributed to the entire United States on public channels. This situation could not be suppressed. The two telegraphers on duty reported it and were honest. It was because of them that they went to bed yesterday and did not report it in time.

The colonel was no longer in the mood to care about them. For such an important matter, Salt Lake City and Ogden sent it directly. Obviously, if they were not attacked, they would not send this message. The surrounding area nearest to Ogden and Salt Lake City, the circumstance issued by various cities also proved that there was indeed a war between Salt Lake City and Ogden.

The Chairman looked at Colonel sweating all over his head. As an admiral, he knew very well what the meaning was. He didn't know why there were enemies in Ogden and Salt Lake City, the American border cities and other than these two cities, there was no other place to ignite war. Who is this enemy? Is it a rebel or a bandit?

However, as a senior general and a senior officer who knows the United States very well, Daniel knew very well that these American bandits do not have the ability to impact a city. Could it be the Revolutionary Party? However, although the entire United States was not satisfactory in many aspects during the war, the internal control of the revolution was strengthened. Under such a premise, there should be no problems. Besides, if the revolution is about to appear, it should be Chicago, which is the heavy industrial base in the United States. The number of workers is very large. Salt Lake City and Ogden are cities dominated by agriculture and railways. The number of workers is very small. Especially Salt Lake City, where is the location of the most conservative forces in the United States? How could there be a revolution?

Before Daniel's orders followed, several telegraphers rolled and crawled over and received the telegram. It turned out that when the armored troops were attacking Ogden yesterday, the survivors of the destroyed villages, as well as other villages, arrived in Oakley all the way north and reported quickly. Oakley heard their report and immediately sent a report to Washington.

More than 5,000 tanks entered the hinterland of the United States, and the context was relatively clear. They entered from the north, and more than 20 villages were confirmed one after another. The tanks crossed the Missouri River and then directly attacked Salt Lake City. Such a huge force is definitely not something that ordinary forces can achieve, and it is even more impossible for the Revolutionary Party or the Rebellion Party. This should be an army, was it Japan?

Daniel could no longer sit still and immediately anxious for the personnel of the Joint Staff. From the Navy to the Army, after Daniel informed the situation, the entire Joint Staff was in chaos. Most officers could not believe that they did not think that the US line of defense would allow so many armored forces to come in quietly.

However, one after another, the battalion commander sent to Ogden arrived in Provo at about 4 hours, about 9 o'clock. After verifying his identity, he reported first-hand information. About 5,000 tanks attacked the American hinterland, and they were Japanese.

The Japanese? The joint meeting was even more shocked. Didn’t the Japanese be suppressed in Alaska? Why did they appear here? How did they spend such a long route of 4,500 kilometers and reach here? If it was on the West Coast, it might be possible that China has already occupied the advantage of the ocean. With this advantage, they can move on the US coast at will. After Japan occupied Alaska before, the United States deployed a certain army on the West Coast to prevent them from landing, but Japan and China have never done this.

It is impossible to enter through the West Coast. A Rocky Mountains, which is nothing in Canada, is close to the end. The most mountainous mountains are in Alaska, but in the western United States, it is absolutely huge. From Utah to California, the huge mountains almost suppress the West Coast. Only the seaside has a small plain area. Before the railway is connected, it is very difficult to cross the western mountains to the west coast.

A small number of infantry, landed on the coastline and then crossed the Rocky Mountains, is possible, but tank troops are absolutely not allowed unless the Pacific Railway is controlled by the Japanese.

Not to mention the Pacific Railway, fortunately, when the Pacific Railway mentioned, some of the people who were quick to turn their minds and their faces changed. Because the Japanese destroyed Ogden's railway after completely occupying Ogden, Ogden was almost burned to a white ground. Except for those who ran out in advance, the subsequent ones were basically dead. This is also the fundamental reason for the Pacific Railway. Although the battalion commander of the National Guard saw the Pacific Railway cut off with his own eyes, it was to stop their trains. Moreover, after the Japanese bombed the section, they did not continue to destroy, and even they did not care about it, which made them escape to their lives. Whether from the perspective or from the situation at that time, he did not think that Japan's purpose was for the Pacific Railway.

The battalion commander could not judge, which does not mean that these staff members could not do it. They are all the most professional soldiers. What they are good at is to judge the best plan based on the existing situation. All the information in front of us, including why the tanks did not attack before the Missouri River or even before Ogden, but only attacked after Ogden. What made the Japanese make such a choice seems very simple, that is, Ogden and Salt Lake City have a clear difference from other cities. After searching around the entire northern city, the biggest difference between Ogden Salt Lake City and them is that they belong to the railway hub city.

When a staff member raised this issue, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Before, everyone was looking at how Japan entered the American hinterland like Salt Lake City through 4,500 kilometers from Canada and the United States. However, now, Ogden and Salt Lake City have been attacked, which means that Japan's strategic goal seems to have been achieved. The railway hub between Ogden and Salt Lake City may be destroyed.

The Pacific Railway is the link between the east and west of the United States and the most important railway in the United States. Its junction will have a huge blow to the United States. If this destruction continues, the United States will be unable to mobilize its forces to destroy such an armored force.

With clues, it was confirmed that this was a huge armored force, and it came from the north through the border between the United States and Canada. Then we can investigate this. Soon, the Joint Staff Conference issued a series of orders, which targeted the possible routes on land. If there was a targeted investigation, various intelligence would be reported soon. A large number of tanks crossing the river were found near the Missouri River. Because it was only two days before, there was no rain. When a large number of cavalry were sent to investigate, the ruts of these tanks were basically not cleared, which was quite clear.

With more and more intelligence, the United States' control over the country is far above Canada. Soon, Japan's route appeared and continued to the Canadian border. Some cavalry even went to Canada's border for dozens of kilometers, and Japanese tanks entered from the Great Plains.

Based on the current intelligence, this Japanese armored convoy was very fast. It entered the United States from Canada in a few days. Henry, Mark, and people who escaped from Salt Lake City also reported various information. Thousands of tanks were confirmed, and the Japanese also confirmed it, and even under certain circumstances, there was some intelligence to destroy the Pacific Railway.

The Japanese had a very clear goal, which was to attack the Pacific Railway. In the face of a large amount of evidence, it proved that Japan came from the north and now it seems that it is not ready to return. It seems that it will not go back in the east and south, so it can only go west. It is unlikely that the armored troops will cross the Rocky Mountains, so from Salt Lake City to the front of the Rocky Mountains, it is at least 500 kilometers.

Everyone's faces changed. A city, or even a small section, is not very destructive for the United States and affects it for a short period of time at most. There are many alternative methods to connect or connect. However, if most of the 500-kilometer-long lines are destroyed, then it is a nightmare for the United States. Is Japan's purpose this?

At this time, no more news was heard, but a large number of orders were sent to various places through telegrams, especially those cities west of Salt Lake City. On the one hand, confirming that Japan's attacks could also reduce losses. In places where troops in the east and west were concentrated, orders were also ordered to start mobilizing. This was a war related to the fate of the United States. Such a huge armored force must be eliminated as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the longer you stay in the United States, the stronger the destruction and the greater the loss.
