The British have always implemented a balance strategy. Whoever is strong will unite other countries to fight against each other to consolidate their hegemony. In the past, when Napoleon dominated the European continent, the British repeatedly connected other European countries to form an anti-French alliance, and eventually destroyed the First French Empire. Now, after the rise of the Chinese Empire in the East, the British once again began to attack the Chinese Empire, trying to weaken the strength of the Chinese Empire. During the war, the British supported Russia and the United States many times, with the main purpose of this.

However, from the moment, the British strategy seems to have failed. Even with the support of the British, Russia still lost a lot and lost millions of troops. The United States is even under the siege of China, France and the Spanish. If you want to win, it will not be too likely.

In such a situation, the British would definitely choose to protect themselves without intervening in this doomed war. At most, they would give the United States certain support in terms of funds and weapons. It would be almost impossible for them to join the war. Therefore, the Americans had to survive this crisis by themselves.

After the meeting, officials from the US cabinet left the president's office one after another. Everyone had to go back and find a way to get the United States through this crisis. Only War Secretary William L. Massi stayed.

"His Excellency President, the situation on the West Coast is very unfavorable to us. General Robert Anderson suffered heavy losses, leaving only less than 30,000 people. Under the blow of the Chinese, they could no longer defend California. They had to retreat to Nevada and rely on the Rockies to resist the Chinese attack." Secretary William L. Maxi said.

President James Nosk Polk nodded. The strength of the Chinese army was beyond his expectations. It is worthy of being a powerful country that even the Russians could easily defeat. The US Army had 300,000 people, but was defeated by more than 100,000 people from the other side. He was in a mess and even the entire California would be lost. Thinking about it now, President Polk was a little regretful. If he had known it, he would not have fought for those territories with the Chinese Empire. In this way, the United States might not have suffered such heavy losses in this war. You must know that if the United States failed in this war, they would have lost more interests. Those forcibly occupied territory would also not be able to save them.

"Hisser Masi, is there any way we can solve the current crisis? Even if the West Coast region cannot defeat the Chinese, it must stabilize the situation, at least not allow the Chinese to break through the Rocky Mountains!" President Polk said. Now, France and the Kingdom of Spain are about to land in the United States. The focus of the United States must be transferred from the West Coast to the East Coast. Once the East Coast is lost, the United States will be completely finished. Therefore, on the West Coast, the United States has to change its strategy, and there is no way to do so.

"His Excellency the President, Lieutenant General Ulysses submitted a combat plan. If it can be successful, it may stabilize the situation on the West Coast and buy us enough time!" said Secretary William L. Maxi.

Lieutenant General Ulysses was the US general who led 200,000 US troops to the west coast to reinforce Lieutenant General Robert Anderson. However, as soon as he arrived in California, he received news of Lieutenant General Robert Anderson's defeat. For this reason, he had to complete a military operation alone to reverse the decline of the US military on the West Coast.

"Oh? What plan?" President Polk was rekindled. If the situation on the West Coast could be stabilized, then the United States would be able to concentrate on dealing with France and Spain. As long as they defeat them, the United States would have enough strength to solve the problem on the West Coast and thus completely win the war. Now it seems that the key is to stabilize the war on the West Coast so that the situation on the West Coast will not deteriorate further. Otherwise, under the attack of the three countries of China, France and the Spanish, it would be difficult for the United States to win.

"His Excellency the President, Lieutenant General Ulysses plans to launch an attack on San Diego. As long as we can win San Diego, we may be able to turn the unfavorable situation!" said Secretary William L. Masi.

"Catch San Diego? Is that possible? In addition, even if you capture San Diego, can you really stop the Chinese from attacking further?" President Polk frowned and said with some doubt.

"His Excellency President, according to our intelligence, the Chinese have only one naval brigade in San Diego, with a total of more than 6,000 people. In addition, there are several naval warships in nearby waters. More importantly, almost all the war materials loaded and unloaded by the Chinese during the early landing were piled up in San Diego. Even if the Chinese took San Francisco, the subsequent materials had not arrived yet. In other words, if we could destroy the materials there, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops would be in a crisis of lack of war materials, and we might have the opportunity to bring them all.

If you can't annihilate the Chinese army, you can still buy time for the strategic arrangements of the eastern region. All the supplies of the Chinese army come from the country. It takes more than a month from China to North America, and one round and one round, it will take two months. If it can be successful, you can buy at least one to two months for us. As long as we can defeat the French and the Spanish during this period, we can regain the initiative on the battlefield!" said Minister William L. Maxi. When this combat plan was handed over to him, he was lit up at the time.

President Polk hesitated for a moment and asked, “How likely is it to be successful?”

"His Excellency President, we have at least 70% chance of success. After all, the Chinese are only 6,000 in San Diego. Even if they can get the support of warships on the sea, it is impossible to withstand the attack of 200,000 troops. Moreover, our goal is not to occupy San Diego for a long time, but to destroy all the strategic materials stored there after seizing San Diego. As long as the goal is achieved, we will retreat immediately. Now, the main force of the Chinese * army is in northern California, and even if they return to aid, it will take at least twenty days. From the perspective of time, it is already very sufficient." Minister William L. Maxi continued.

President Polk nodded, 70% of his confidence was already very high. Of course, we must consider what to do if we fail? After all, Chinese people have always played by common sense.

"What should we do if it fails?" President Polk asked.

"His Excellency President, if the situation is not good, we can only choose to retreat and retreat to the Arizona area. Relying on the 200,000 reinforcements that will arrive in the future, we will still have great confidence in resisting the Chinese attack by relying on the Rockies. However, in that case, we will face a lot of pressure!" said Secretary William L. Maxi.

"Well, since that's the case, let Lieutenant General Ulysses let go! I hope they can win a victory for the United States!" President Polk said. If this action can be won, the crisis facing the United States can be slightly alleviated. In addition, more importantly, it can boost confidence of the American people with constant decline in morale, which will be conducive to the development of the subsequent war.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Minister William L. Maxi nodded.

Secretary of War William L. Massi left, but President Polk still frowned. Although he was not a soldier and had little understanding of the military, he knew that the basis of this strategy proposed by Lieutenant General Ulysses was that the Chinese army would not continue to increase its troops. If the Chinese army expanded its number of troops in the United States, then the situation of the United States would be even more difficult. The more than 100,000 Chinese army alone would have already restrained half of the US army. If it increased further, would the United States still have a way out?

President Polk could only pray to God, pray that the Chinese Empire would not increase its troops in North America, pray that Lieutenant General Ulysses could successfully conquer San Diego and then destroy the war materials there. In this way, the Chinese would have to restrain their troops for a period of time and no longer be so aggressive. This could create enough time for the United States, or even completely win the war.

However, all of this is just his expectation. Will the development of the battle be as he expected? This is very difficult to say.

At this time, in southeastern California, a US army was advancing westward. This army was the 200,000 US troops led by Ulysses, the United States Army. Their initial mission was to reinforce Lieutenant General Robert Anderson to help him stabilize the battle situation on the West Coast. However, when they arrived, Lieutenant General Robert Anderson had already lost a lot.

Now, Lieutenant General Ulysses is implementing the combat plan he submitted, and he is leading 200,000 US troops to march towards San Diego.

"General, an emergency telegram from the Ministry of War!" A communication officer caught up with Lieutenant General Ulysses on his horse and handed him a telegram.

After receiving the telegram and reading it, Lieutenant General Ulysses showed a smile on his serious face. The content of the telegram was that his combat plan was approved. Minister William L. Masi asked him to ensure the victory of the plan as much as possible.

"Come, order the troops and rush to San Diego at full speed!" Lieutenant General Ulysses issued an order! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
