Chapter 586 "Warm Current Action" (25)
No matter how much they consider the Canadian Defense Command, Lieutenant General Frederick Roberts, felt that with the strength of nearly 200,000 people in their existing five legions, it was difficult to effectively defend against a vast area. For this reason, they began to desperately expedite the headquarters of the American Expeditionary Force, demanding that the headquarters of the Empire's American Expeditionary Force would at least reinforce them with two to three legions.
If time could be back a little further, even Lieutenant General Frederick Roberts' Canadian Defense Command cried blood in his eyes, and General Woodford, who had been afraid that the Taipingtian team would have a slight slightest reluctance to the back.
After all, he not only equipped Lieutenant General Frederick Roberts' Canadian Defense Command with huge power of five corpses, but also endured the severe pain and retreated an elite Eighth Legion from the American battlefield with fire and entered the battle for Vancouver. Although the Eighth Legion suffered considerable losses, he still won Vancouver, the only foothold on the west coast of Canada, and played a huge restrictive role in the possible advancement of the Taipingtian team to the heart of Canada.
In addition, since November, Canada's severe winter has arrived. With the severe cold punishment issued by God, it is obviously not easy for the Taipingtian** team from afar to launch a comprehensive and large-scale offensive against Canada's hinterland.
But now it's different.
Seeing that spring is coming, although the scale of the Taipingtian team's sudden eastward move cannot be called large, in Woodford's view, this is likely to be the beginning of the Taipingtian team's comprehensive offensive.
What if we don’t continue to mobilize troops to Canada behind us?
Definitely not possible.
In order to curb the offensive momentum of the Taipingtian team, Lieutenant General Frederick Roberts' Canadian Defense Command had to grit his teeth and keep it at hand. The two legions that were originally used to defend Ontario were also mobilizing in large quantities to the west.
The original Pith River-Assabasca defense line has been connected to the south, forming a long arc-shaped defense line from the Edmonton-Piss River-Assabasca.
Judging from the situation Roberts has developed, once the arc defense line of Edmonton-Piss River-Assabasca Lake is broken through by the Taipingtian team, Canada's prosperity hinterland will completely become the Taipingtian team's flat land.
In addition, although General Woodford repeatedly gave high praise and affirmation to the President of the United States of America, who had "willingly" become a comprehensive partner with the British Empire, whether in public or in private darkness. However, Woodford still did not believe in his partner from the bottom of his heart.
In Woodford's opinion, the reason why Lincoln chose to cooperate with his British Empire was simply to satisfy his own selfishness. Once the time is right, this cunning American will definitely turn against his British Empire like the ungrateful Americans nearly a hundred years ago.
In other words, Canada must not be lost, because the United States of America, which has been temporarily trampled by him, will definitely not become his stable habitat.
But what if we still draw troops back to consolidate Canada?
When Woodford thought of this problem, his head immediately became bigger than a circle.
The British Empire was worthy of General Woodford. After repeated additions, within his American Expeditionary Force sequence, the Empire had transformed his American Expeditionary Force into a huge armed group with twenty-three legions and over one million people.
However, General Woodford felt that he was very guilty of his imperial politics.
So far, he has given his British army thirteenth, fourteenth, seventeenth and twenty-fourth legions to his empire, all turned into fat chewed in the mouth of the Taipingtian** team. As for the eighth legion, which was half-baked and still in Vancouver, it will be obvious that it will soon be unable to escape the tragic fate completely erased from his American Expeditionary Force sequence. In addition, in Canada, there are five other legions he has already invested in.
After counting this, his once extremely large armed cluster with twenty-three legions, and the only one he could control was actually only thirteen legions.
If he calculated carefully, he would have to act as an extremely difficult logistics support transportation. In order to prevent it, he would have to be stationed in a series of important cities in the United States of America, such as Washington and New York. The remaining legions could really use the front line to fight directly against the Alliance team, which made him feel extremely stretched. How could he support him to use more strength to return to his hometown?
Therefore, Woodford was forced to completely change his North American strategy, that is, the problems of the American Allies and Mexico could no longer be solved by quick victory, but should have a protracted war mentality. In terms of specific tactical matters, his American Expeditionary Forces should no longer be ahead of everything, but should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of President Lincoln's northern army in the most reasonable way to achieve the goal of using the United States to control the United States, so that he has more energy and ability to stabilize and even completely resolve the crisis situation in Canada.
In mid-February, General Woodford, who was granted command of the United States United States team by Lincoln, directed the British and American coalition forces on the Western Front in the name of the commander-in-chief of the British and American coalition forces, and once again launched an order aimed at completely taking Los Angeles.
When his order began to be implemented by the British and American Allied Forces on the Western Front, except for the absolute advantage of the British people in the head office responsible for commanding the British and American Allied Forces on the Western Front, the military force deployed by the British army was only one division on the real battlefield.
Obviously, Woodford did not actually expect the battle for Los Angeles to go smoothly. His real purpose was to use this first move to oppress the French and American coalition forces on the opposite side, so that they could only be in poverty and deal with it, and they could hardly have more insignificant thoughts.
And he himself could take the opportunity to draw out several divisions from the Western Front to reinforce the Vancouver side, which was more critical.
Afterwards, he ordered several main British troops in the eastern part of the United States to withdraw from the front line of the battlefield in the middle of the United States and quickly approach the front line of the US-Canada border.
Woodford soon realized how prescient his series of actions were.
