The capital of the New Tang Empire in the United States, San Francisco.

"Who is currently stationed in Yuma Town?"

Since it has been a series of deductions before that Napoleon III of France is going to take action against our New Tang Empire, then the emperor Li Mengyang naturally needs to know the details of the defense on the border between the empire and Mexico.

Just so happened that Li Mengyang asked about the situation in Youma Town.

"Your Majesty! He was garrisoned by Captain O'Brien, who was an old brother who came out of New Mexico with us. He had many battles, but his education was too poor, so he did not get promoted too quickly." The reply was Ocassi. He was considered an old man, and he was too familiar with the situation on the border. He was stationed in Los Angeles before.

"Just one captain?" Li Mengyang scratched his head a little. From the map, Youma Town knew that this was a major town. It was guarding the US troops in New Mexico to the west and Mexico to the south. You just put a captain. Do you look down on others too much?

"This..." Ocassie saw sweat on his head, but he had to say, "The previous California government ignored military affairs. Yuma Town was too small and could not accommodate too many troops."

"..." Li Meng and Yang Yi thought that the same thing was true. In the west, except for big cities like San Francisco and Sacramento, all other places are small towns. If you want to send more troops, you have to be able to hold them. Can the local economy support it?

To be honest, there are also such reasons for building that production and construction corps.

never mind!

"Then he is here, it shouldn't be a big problem." Li Mengyang's words gave Okashi a lot of face.

"This, should..." Ocassi was naturally happy. But before he could finish speaking.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Guangren, the war minister, had something to say at this time. "The military department had received a telegram before. Because he was going back to attend the National Day ceremony, Captain O'Brien had already set off and he should arrive in Los Angeles immediately after seeing the days!"

"..." Okashi slapped his forehead, indicating that this matter was a bit embarrassing.

"This..." Li Mengyang sighed in his heart. It was like a sudden rain. But no one can blame him. This National Day ceremony was a major event in the empire recently.

Everyone is right, it's just a coincidence.

When Yang Guangren saw it, he immediately responded, "But there is another company coming over. It's their turn to change defenses, and they also brought new weapons."

"Oh? New weapon?" When Li Mengyang heard this, it seemed...it didn't seem to be very useful.

"It's Mr. Thomson..."

"It's not me! It's the masterpiece of His Majesty the Emperor!" Thomson immediately denied it because it was a weapon. He didn't want to be related.

Alas, our team. Forget it. It’s already like this, then find a way to get the things in front of you!

Li Mengyang pointed directly at the Youma Town on the map and said firmly.

"Comrades! After all the information and reasonable reasoning, I judge!"

“hail-lee!”

When he heard the words of Emperor Li Mengyang, the soldiers present stood at attention and shouted a loud slogan.

"..." William Thomson's face was not good-looking. He disliked such a scene the most. However, in the current situation, it seems that such a scene is beneficial to the empire. At present, the empire is facing a strong enemy, and only if the king and minister are united and the people are united can victory be achieved.

This...Thomson also felt a little uncomfortable. Why did he start to think about this emperor now?

His Majesty the Emperor continued: "It has been a year since the French Expeditionary Force captured Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. The Juarez regime in Mexico ran to the vicinity of El Paso. I guess this guy, hehe... Forget it, let alone him, for so long, the French have made such small moves before, so I judged that the French team will attack the southern city of the empire, and the first one is Juma Town!"

“hail-lee!”

What Li Mengyang is talking about now is a very reasonable military judgment.

From the map, Mexico is quite interesting. In fact, there is a peninsula called the Baja California Peninsula. Originally, California belongs to Mexico, and this is the trick of Americans.

But this peninsula is in the west of Mexico and is mountainous. The main forces of Mexico are all on the land in the east, and Mexico City is also there. There is a Bay of California in the middle between these two places. Now, the French army has captured Mexico City, which means they are causing wind and rain on the land in the east.

The Colorado River actually entered the Bay of California and entered the sea. In other words, the French army did not need to capture Baja California. They could come up along the Colorado River. Then, the town of Juma will naturally be the first to be affected.

Besides, in this era, it is actually much faster to go by sea than by land.

"Now I order! The First Division of the First Army, the Fourth Division of the Second Army, and the Eighth Division of the Third Army, go to war! The First Division of the First Army takes California straight from sea! Leaded by General Ocassi! The Fourth Division, the Eighth Division, boards the ship, then disembarks in Los Angeles, and rushes to the town of Juma by land!"

“hail-lee!”

His Majesty the Emperor made such a deployment, so naturally he didn't say anything, and the officers saluted again.

However, there are some details here that need to be said. Yang Guangren asked, "Your Majesty, who will lead the troops in the 8th Division of the Fourth Division? Is it General Matthew McConaughey who is about to arrive?"

Yes, this question is very good. You have to understand it. The military headquarters can draft orders, but I didn’t expect it.

"Haha..." Li Mengyang beat him up, "I will lead the troops myself this time!"

"ah?!"

Everyone was shocked. His Majesty the Emperor was going to come to the imperial army to personally fight again?!

It was really the emperor's command. In fact, it can be seen from Li Mengyang's first order that Li Mengyang was going to fight a national war this time, and the goal of this national war was Mexico!

Oh no, isn't you going to deal with France?

Yes, it’s also against France, but let’s look at the terrain of Mexico. How can Baja California get around?

If the imperial navy wanted to rush to assist the town of Juma, in fact, it was the fastest to go directly from the sea, but because of this Baja California Peninsula, you can't get around it!

Come from Panama, there is nothing to say. The sea is vast and you can walk casually, but now your route is to go to Yuma Town, go around that peninsula, and enter the Bay of California. If you don’t fight, you will definitely be attacked by that peninsula.

So, just do it!

For the territorial security of our empire, we will fight Baja California now, once and for all.

We are fighting the French, but if we expand our territory with our feet, it seems nothing. Besides, you Mexico had a civil war before, and now you have created an emperor, a president, and a French army. Who has the final say?

Then if you don’t take it at this time, when will you take it again?

Therefore, Li Mengyang's second order can actually be regarded as attacking Baja California from the road!

This is breaking the border and breaking the territory, this is a national war, so can the emperor Li Mengyang just watch it?

"That General McConaughey?"

"When he comes, he will naturally be the commander of the imperial guards."

This guy Li Mengyang has never forgotten his old friend. In fact, this job is pretty good, and this is trust.

"Okay, there are naturally many trivial matters before the army moves. Everyone should go down and prepare. All departments must cooperate well..."

“all-hail-lee!”

After nearly a year of reconstruction and various developments, the entire empire will now be running like a machine, but this time she has transformed into a war machine!

However, no one expected that the war had actually begun...

"What the hell is the revolutionary army? It's just a bunch of messes!"

Standing on a warship transformed by a merchant ship, Commander Fontane was watching with a telescope as Juma Town was ravaged by his artillery. He saw the garrisons, like a group of ants on a hot pan, running away in a mess, so he expressed such emotion.

Commander Fontane, the leader of the regiment is not the ordinary regiment. The regiment under him is called the French Foreign Legion!

Simply put, these troops are not French, but are now fighting for France.

This is a tradition that has existed for more than 30 years. In 1830, King Louis Philippe of France formed such a legion. And the current one appears in the French Expeditionary Force in Mexico, the Second Foreign Infantry Regiment.

To be honest, why did you come to Mexico to fight? Commander Fontane is also a little confused about this, and there is no need to do so.

Although Mexico seems to have created a president, which is to pursue independence and refuse to admit the debts they owe before, they obviously borrowed money from the Spanish, so France borrowed a few of their children?

However, the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty. Since His Majesty the Emperor said that we would attack Mexico, then we should fight.

Fontaine was a Frenchman, but his subordinates were not French. Otherwise, how could they call them foreign legions? In other words, these people actually worked hard to obtain French nationality.

But this nationality is really good. Fontaine remembers that his small army was surrounded by more than 1,500 people in Mexico before, but his subordinates fought to the death and only 5 people survived!

"We are soldiers!" Fang Danding looked down on those guys who ran away, so.

"Brothers!" Fang Dan pulled out his sword and "Log in!"

At this moment, the French army finally set foot on the territory of the New Tang Empire in the United States. What will they encounter? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
