Chapter 1840: Contradictions and Actions

The night slowly deepened. On the Great Plains, a huge team of carriages was heading north to Logan, a little north. It was in the north of Ogden. Although Logan was a small town and had no telegrams, there were horses. They had to report what they saw to the US government. The Japanese actually had something special to destroy the railway, and they were very powerful in destroying the railway.

Thousands of people were young and strong, and the Japanese actually kept the carriage. There was nothing we could do about it. The armored legion had high speed requirements and the carriage could not catch up. Japan had no extra personnel to drive the carriage and left the carriage in place. Since they had not killed this part of the young and strong, of course they also considered their report. The United States was too big and their destruction had begun. The Americans reacted immediately and could not catch them if they attacked this side, let alone they had been wasting a day.

This part of the young and strong man also had a stiff mind. They kept moving forward for two or three hours before they remembered that the speed of the carriage was slow after all. They didn't have to go all out to report the news. They found more than a dozen familiar roads and skilled horses. They squeezed out more than thirty horses from the carriage, one by two horses, and then went to Logan, and the rest walked slowly.

This part of the report was about 10 o'clock in the evening, then changed the horses and went to Boyessi, Billings and Casper respectively. These three places are larger cities in Logan, and the most important thing is the cable telegraph.

After some trouble, more knights were sent, and finally, at around 4 o'clock in the evening, the information was transmitted to Washington through a wired telegram. Washington itself was having a headache for the Japanese Tank Corps and received another report.

Japan's attack on the Pacific Railway was clear from the beginning. When Americans saw Ogden and Salt Lake City, they knew that the Japanese were not targeting an industrialized city, but such a Pacific Railway. However, what they thought before was that Japan destroyed at most some key nodes of the railway and blew up some stations and bridges. This was a point of striking. In fact, these are not strong in the damage to the railway. As long as the Americans spend some manpower and financial resources next, they can repair the railway, and waste up to two or three months. However, according to the description of the railway engineer, if a tool that specializes in operating on the railway can quickly destroy the railway tracks and roadbeds, this is another matter. Reconstruction and repair are two different things.

"Is there really such a machine?" A general asked with a little confusion. To be honest, there were many questions like this in today's time. What Japan suddenly attacked the heartland of the United States brought them a huge shock. Although he did not doubt the news on the front line, it was always unbelievable.

"It should be!" A young general suddenly said, "He has been to Europe and participated in the European War. He seems to have heard that Belgium seems to have a tool specifically for railways to prevent the use of railways by Germany. However, the Germans were too fast, and even the Liege Fortress could not stop the Germans for a long time. Although Belgium destroyed some railways, it did not affect the overall situation.

The radio waves quickly crossed the Atlantic Ocean and directly asked the US military commander stationed in Europe. The time zone was about 10 hours apart in the two places. In the early morning, on the other side, it was daytime. Soon, the US military commander found someone familiar with Belgium and finally asked that there was indeed a model in Belgium that specifically destroyed the railway. It was modified with a locomotive to specifically destroy the railway, which was quite similar to the frontline reports.

The chairman of the joint meeting grabbed his hair vigorously, and his hairline moved upwards. The hair on his head was not too much, but he still couldn't help it. This was so depressing. In the few hours after receiving the report of Japan's attack on the hinterland of the United States, he carried out four times just by changing the combat plan. The troops that had already started preparing were ordered to re-establish. At this point, the final departure time would be dragged back for a day, and now new problems have emerged.

After a day of meeting, the entire conference room was in chaos. To be honest, in a drowsy and unconsciously, the conference went off topic. How did a machine destroying a machine on the railway come with a tank? There was no car that could be converted into. In the era of the most developed steam locomotives, in the early stages of the birth of cars, some people designed steam cars, but such cars were too difficult to achieve, and basically had no substantial effect, and instead wasted a lot of resources.

According to the data obtained in Europe, destroying railway machines and even weighing much higher than ordinary locomotives. If such things really leave the railway, even moving will be a problem, let alone chasing fast armored troops.

But if it weren't for the armored troops, how did this machine come from? Could it be that it really flew from the sky?

It’s true that Americans really guessed the idea of ​​opening their brains, and these destructive people really flew over.

The general was just complaining. After he said this, he didn't even believe it himself. He flew over on the premise that other explanations could not be explained. Some random statements still need to return to the destruction of Japan. He should send a large army now to stop the destruction of the Japanese, or send both the armored troops and the army according to the original plan. This became the focus of the contradiction. Even if the meeting had been going on for more than 20 hours, there was still a need to continue quarrel.

The New Army was thousands of miles away and didn't think so much about it. They just followed the Sakura Plan. At most, they found out the US's reaction and then responded to this reaction. On the contrary, the US's plans were made one by one, and the plans were overturned one by one. For a moment, there was no better solution. The Japanese armored troops did hit their weaknesses. It seemed that for a moment, they were wrong to do anything.

The key to the problem now is no longer the armored troops, but the Pacific Railway. The Pacific Railway was built decades ago, but its role is huge. It is a bridge connecting the east and west of the United States. Once it is damaged, the transportation artery in central the United States will be destroyed and crossed the 6,000-meter Rocky Mountains. The manpower and material resources are imaginable. It is not that there were Chinese people at that time who relied on the flesh and blood of Chinese workers. Otherwise, it would be impossible to penetrate this unimaginable century project.

One of them was a section of the railway tunnel on a cliff more than 300 meters. By firing a gun hole, a tunnel that could pass through the railway was blown up. However, such a tunnel was unprotected and there was no even consideration. All of this part was dug out by Chinese workers. Sometimes, after firing the gun hole and firing the gun, the airflow sprayed from gunpowder may also swallow up the Chinese workers. The death toll of this part of Chinese workers is more than 10%, especially after winter, in order to catch up with the construction period, construction still needs to be started in winter. During an avalanche, at least 1,000 people were buried under the snow line.

It can be said without hesitation that this Pacific Railway was basically made of the flesh and blood of the Chinese. In 50 years, the United States' national strength and technology have undergone earth-shaking changes. However, once the Pacific Railway in the Rocky Mountains is damaged and the United States is trying to recover, it will definitely not be easy. I don’t know how long it will happen.

The Americans also knew very well that Japan could not let down the railway without any scruples, but how to stop it? Most of the United States' current forces are concentrated in Alaska. In order to break through Juno and drive the Japanese into the sea, they have concentrated most of the troops they can concentrate. Even the European plan has been affected. A small part of the forces are concentrated in the eastern region. They need to train, arm themselves, and obtain weapons and equipment. However, now, the east and west are cut off, and the opponent's speed is very fast, more than 200 kilometers a day, so only infantry is not enough to be enough for their pace and must rely on armored forces.

"We don't have much time!" The young general expressed everyone's thoughts. Yes, 200 kilometers a day, 10 days will arrive at the Rocky Mountains. In that case, even if the Japanese army is annihilated, the 3,000-kilometer-long railway, at least 300 kilometers or even 500 kilometers, will be directly destroyed, and at least thousands of various railway bridges will be killed one by one. What does this mean? It will take a long time for them to recover.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the Rocky Mountains. Will Japan know about the Rocky Mountains and even let the destroyers enter the Rocky Mountains. The mountains of the Rocky Mountains will block them. However, as long as you walk along the railway and arrange and destroy the railways of the Rocky Mountains along the way, it is still fine. Once those key nodes and even irrecoverable places are killed, if you want to build the Pacific Railway, you need to build a Pacific Railway, which is unacceptable for the United States.

Unfortunately, the positions of field troops are beyond reach and have even been assembled urgently. However, they still have up to 2,000 taels on hand. These tanks are also in the east and are currently sent to Salt Lake City at most. Next, they need to chase them. Unfortunately, these tanks are not as fast as the Japanese tanks. Maybe by the time the tanks arrive, Japan will have already reached its heart's goal.

Finally, the telegram received at 4 a.m. became the last straw. These American generals knew that at this moment, they had no reason to waste time. They had to complete their preparations as quickly as possible and send their troops to the central United States to stop Japan's actions. The destroyer would also become a thorn in his eyes and must think of all ways to destroy it.
