Chapter 289 Chain Reaction
"United States Forces Tanks!"
A Confederate soldier wearing a cowboy hat shouted as an M60 tank stopped in the middle of the road, its cannon pointed at them. The Confederate force was chasing a strange army to the north when it was suddenly blocked by a United States tank.
A tank was parked in the middle of the road, and there were many soldiers in the woods on both sides. The two sides suddenly encountered each other and started fighting along the road.
"United States Forces... that son of a bitch Mike..."
When the news reached the rear, the Confederate Command in Kansas was somewhat surprised, since encountering the United States while pursuing north indicated that they were advancing faster than the Confederate forces.
This proved that the syndicate's forces were no match for them. The Confederate Command in Kansas immediately adjusted their offensive direction. They planned to blockade the northwest of the Steel Belt, isolate the United States forces, and annex the syndicate's territory themselves.
As a result, the retreating and shrinking labor corps troops discovered that the intensity of their frontal battlefield had suddenly decreased.
"The old, Wall Street-controlled United States forces are the greatest enemy of our allies, my brothers and sisters in Colombia! Hold your heads high and stand united against these Wall Street guards!"
Longy Hughes left New Orleans and headed north, delivering a speech at the Kansas border, raising his hand beneath the flag and the bald eagle emblem.
"Brothers and sisters of Colombia! I, Langie Xiu, am here to call upon all citizens of the United States of Colombia, citizens of the Iron Belt, to lay down your weapons, resist your oppressors, and join us on our path. Today, our brothers and sisters march north as traitors, but when we return, every one of us will be king!"
"Brothers and sisters! Our actions are neither treason nor acts of separatism; our mission is to make Colombia great again!"
Amid cheers from the crowd, Langley Sho shouted that since he entered politics as a senator, he had been committed to a fair Colombia, and that he opposed big corporations and finance.
He was born into a poor family and worked as a governor in the state building highways, establishing schools, and proposing a so-called wealth-sharing plan.
People support him so that they can no longer be exploited by big capitalists. People cheer for him and support him, but they are also afraid of him and what he brings, including the so-called Gray Shirts.
Colombia Supremacy has never been a one-man show by Rany Hugh. Extremists and nationalists also fill the party. Those extremists brainwash young people, instructing them to hate those who are different from them and those who disagree with them.
Therefore, there are still people who support the United States, and there are still people who insist on fighting alongside the syndicate.
Even among the People's Red Army led by Alice, not many people considered giving up.
However, Mike Douglas's situation is not so good recently. The original plan of the Northern Union army to quickly advance eastward and directly take Chicago was interrupted by a series of battles launched by the Confederates in Kansas, and the two sides broke out into a major battle along the Mississippi River.
The battle was at a stalemate, and Alice was quietly building up her operations within the railway yard she had captured amidst this complex situation. After all, she had tens of thousands of troops to transport, and she couldn't afford to cause too much trouble.
"I never expected that a legend like you would be mixed up among such a group of stragglers. Heh, the culprit who led the allied forces to dismantle the church has actually relinquished his power."
"Tell me, what are you thinking, you damned vampire queen?"
Alice remained silent, watching the captain in the corner, his hands bound but still sharp-tongued. This descendant of knights refused to reveal any information, but the United States Army's radio and the documents left in the command post had already revealed much.
Having never experienced the training of the intelligence front, Colombia's secrecy work, regardless of which faction it was on, was a complete mess. The computer Alice brought could easily crack those radio commands.
Relying on the newly formed "Radio Intelligence Reconnaissance Section" of the Front, Alice quickly grasped the situation in the entire state of Kansas, which was the main battlefield for the next phase of the campaign between the United States Army and the Allied Army, and Alice was in the eye of the storm.
"We can't delay any longer! Columns 1, 2, and 3, set off immediately along the railway. We're heading north, crossing the Mississippi River!"
In the north, the North Oregon Bridge was occupied by the Fourth Column, while Alice's Central Red Army could cross the bridge and provoke the 867th Air Wing deployed there by the United States, as well as seize the trucks at the airport.
The "captain" glanced at the busy Alice. He had once read all the legends about her day and night, those stories, those biographies. He had once longed for the church under the influence of his family. He had once hated this so-called vampire, this person who destroyed the place he longed for.
But after reading Alice's biography and the events of that era, he felt increasingly conflicted.
It was Alice who brought this world into existence; it was Alice who gave them modern civilization. This enemy is a great man, a benefactor, and a sinner.
Countless people have died at her hands and countless others have lived because of her. No matter how many times she claims it is the power of the people, people will ultimately attribute it all to her.
Alice's memory of that period is still somewhat hazy, but she has now remembered most of it, only forgetting two important people, their whereabouts, and their mission.
The war reminded her of the first modern army she had led in North Amerlane, an army that possessed the earliest guns and cannons and defeated the earliest enemies.
Now, she was leading a lone army, and in a daze, she saw a shadow. The shadow was tall, wearing old clothes and an octagonal hat with a red star on its head.
The shadowy figure smoked a cigarette, looking at the same army, ragged and in a condition a hundred or a thousand times worse than Alice's army.
Alice vaguely sensed something. She turned around and looked at the army lining up to board the train, and the army next to them. She remembered something, something she hadn't done yet, and something she had to do.
"Comrade Alice! The comrades in the coastal base area have sent back a telegram!"
Zhu Kefu ran in, waving a telegram: "The comrades in the coastal base say they have taken control of the major cities in Montana and are waiting for the Central Committee to move north!"
Alice nodded. A brand new future was before her, but this was not the end, only the beginning. She turned around and vaguely saw the departing shadow, drifting away in the sun and wind.
"We will all succeed..."
Alice looked at the endless plain and said.
