With Wesley''s war report playing its role in China, the domestic media began to publicize it wantonly. There were few casualties in the U.S. military in this battle, and the first batch of wounded soldiers became heroes after returning home, and Wesley was the hero of heroes. He would be seen in the newspaper every day.
An outstanding genius, the owner of G group and the most outstanding young general in the army, he became a lieutenant general at the age of 24. Many people think he can become president in the future.
However, Wesley is very busy now. When the second batch of landing troops arrive, Pershing comes along and enthusiastically pulls Wesley to ask him about his battle concept and actual implementation. This is a respectable person. Pershing is undoubtedly a successful soldier, and he also regards Wesley as his successor.
Wesley talked about his concept of Blitzkrieg. Relative speed is more like relativity. I don''t have to be faster than lightning. I just have to be faster than my opponent. Pershing agrees with this. He didn''t expect Wesley to use the latest weapons and tactics so well, which has brought more orders to Wesley''s arsenal, especially mortars and machine guns.
Then the October Revolution broke out in Russia, the form of Europe changed again, and then the time entered winter. Various countries are busy. We are very careful about the current international form. The red has swept Russia, and Russia will launch a war. The allies are a little dull.
Subsequently, on March 3, 1918, Lenin signed the Brest treaty with Germany and announced his withdrawal from World War I. At this time, Wesley was supplemented by 50 divisions, 20 heavy artillery brigades, 20 engineering brigades, 6 marine brigades and 10 cavalry brigades. Under the maximum supply of materials, he directly launched the spring offensive. This time, he contacted the British and French friendly forces in advance.
Although Germany is well prepared, Wesley is now strong and powerful. He directly completed the armed swimming at night with the marine brigade, and then shelled in an all-round way. Engineers drove hundreds of pontoons, and the soldiers were as powerful as bamboo. At the same time, Wesley also bombed the enemy''s rear position with British and French warplanes. The integration of air and ground appeared for the first time, and the coordination of infantry and artillery was as pure as fire.
Breaking through the German defense line at one fell swoop, the army marched all the way, and Germany surrendered in early April 1918, seven months ahead of the parallel universe. So far, Wesley has become the most famous general in the world, not only because of his achievements, but also his age.
After the war, the U.S. military did not take over any place in Germany. This was Wesley''s order and directly handed over to Britain and France for management. The U.S. military began to retreat to France and held a grand ceremony in Paris. Wesley was welcomed by the French in a military jeep and wearing a lieutenant general''s uniform.
The romantic city seemed to be rejuvenated overnight. Countless people crowded at the joint to welcome the victorious Americans. The U.S. military finally had a holiday, but they were limited to some activities and were not allowed to spend the night outside.
Wesley knows what American soldiers look like, so from the first day he led the army, he emphasized military discipline. In a year in Europe, military discipline is the most important thing he emphasized. Where will troops without discipline have combat effectiveness?
Moreover, Wesley doesn''t want these soldiers to keep all their pay for one year in France. They can control it by themselves. It''s good for them to spend again when they return to the United States.
Most of the soldiers here will not be demobilized. The U.S. standing army must be retained. The combat effectiveness reflected in this war has awakened Americans a lot. Without two years of training, these recruits can''t achieve such good results, which is also Wesley''s strength.
A month later, the soldiers began to return to China. They will have a holiday. Nearly two million soldiers are almost all of the current military strength of the United States. The United States has not launched a wartime system. These people were originally established. There are more than 120 divisions. This time, 100 came, and there are many other special arms brigades, mainly heavy artillery and engineers.
Wesley and Pershing stayed in Paris for the final peace talks. President Wilson came to Paris and directly met Wesley first, accompanied by Pershing.
"How about my general? Now you are a hero in this city," said President Wilson happily.
"It doesn''t matter, Mr. President. In my opinion, this peace won''t last long," Wesley said.
"Oh? Then tell me what you think!"
Wesley nodded and then said, "first of all, the oppression of Britain and France against Germany must be unprecedented. Their hatred is too deep. At the same time, they are very afraid of the German army. You will feel it at the meeting."
"Well, that''s true. Do you mean they will be very harsh on Germany?"
"Yes, so I suggest the United States not to intervene too much. This time for the partition of Germany, we have obtained a lot of benefits in the Pacific, especially the two islands. Their strategic position is very important and is very helpful to curb the development of Japan and Japan."
"Do you care about that small island country?"
"You haven''t studied their history. They are very willing to learn. They will learn from whichever country is strong, especially Huaxia. They have studied with Huaxia for thousands of years, and now they have the opportunity to teach their teachers a lesson. Now they are learning from Britain. You believe them. If they find the opportunity, they will teach their current teachers British people a lesson."
"Oh, I didn''t expect you to study them?"
"It''s not research. When I see it when I read, I feel interesting and remember it. Moreover, the development of Japan and Japan is completely abnormal. They spare no effort in developing armaments, but do not build China. Under such circumstances, once contradictions break out, they can only choose war."
"Do you think they will invade China?"
"Not now. Their military strength is not enough, but they are still developing in this way, so we can be friendly to Germany and strive for their friendship at this conference. Although we beat Germany, we will be a good man compared with Britain and France."
"Yes, good idea. You should be in politics." Wilson sighed.
"Politics is too tired. I won''t participate. Maybe my children will." Wesley smiled meaningfully. "Oh, by the way, we need to help Huaxia at the meeting again. Although we don''t have much right to speak, it''s necessary to express a friendly attitude, which is convenient for us to invest and sell things in China. The post-war period must be the great depression, and it is prone to economic crisis. We must make preparations early."
"I see. Your opinion will be considered by the delegation. Basically, there is no problem."
