“President, Ridgway has more than 500,000 troops under his command, and we currently have only 100,000 regular troops. Even if all the militia are included, there are only a little over 300,000. The difference in the strength of our two sides is too great, and this war cannot be fought!”
Many rednecks were very scared when they heard that more than 500,000 US troops were coming aggressively. They were already a little guilty when they separated from the Eagle Sauce. At this time, facing the thundering blow of the central government, many people did not even see the US military, and they imagined a scene of plowing the house and sweeping the holes, which made them even more scared!
Like his men, Anthony was actually very scared.
The combat effectiveness of the rednecks is actually very strong. When they faced the more powerful German army, they dared to take the initiative to launch an attack, and even caused a lot of trouble to the German army, and even the regular army of the Eagle Sauce could not do this.
However, the reason why they were so brave at the time was because they believed that they were defending their country and resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, so the soldiers were in high spirits and fearless. Death, trying every possible way to exert their strength to the extreme, which caused a lot of trouble to the German army.
However, at this time, when facing the US troops from the north, the rednecks lost this spirit!
In the final analysis, it was actually Ridgway’s propaganda tactics that worked!
Ridgway’s brilliance lies in placing the Eagle Sauce government on the side of justice, and Anthony and other rednecks in the position of the big villain. As a result, facing Ridgway’s accusations, Anthony and others couldn’t even refute!
They themselves felt that it was not appropriate for them to take the opportunity to become independent from the Eagle Sauce when the Eagle Sauce was facing internal and external troubles, so they couldn’t help but have a trace of escapism in their hearts. In this case, no one wanted to fight this battle!
If Ridgway came over without saying anything, the rednecks would be forced into a desperate situation, and Anton Ni can also boost morale and let the soldiers fight to the death. With the fighting power of the rednecks, maybe they can still win on the battlefield. After all, when facing the attack of the US military led by General Krag, the rednecks withstood the opponent’s attack and thwarted that attack!
The US troops from the north may not be much stronger than the last US troops. If a real fight breaks out, the rednecks are not afraid, because they use the vast ocean of people’s war and use harassment and destruction to fight against the US military. In this case, the opponent’s military strength is not too important!
However, Ridgway did not choose to act recklessly, but used a soft knife and used propaganda to disrupt the military and civilian morale of Texas, making everyone unwilling to fight this battle. In Ridgway’s words, they just don’t want to kill each other!
However, with With such a psychological burden, it would be difficult for him to boost morale. Even the redneck soldiers would feel that they were kidnapped by Anthony and his group. For his own personal interests, he asked everyone to bleed and sacrifice for him. In this way, the soldiers themselves would not be willing!
This war cannot be fought!
Anthony quickly made a judgment. In this case, he could not stop the US troops in the north by his own words. The US military occupied the righteousness and used public opinion propaganda to make even some rednecks betray Anthony and turn to the US troops on the opposite side to be the guide for the other side!
In this case, his tactics of mobilizing the masses of rednecks and militias to harass the US troops everywhere could not be used. If it was a positional war, his own troops and equipment were not as good as the other side, and his own morale was still a big problem.
As more and more people betrayed him, Anthony now lacked confidence in the people around him. He was worried that when the two armies confronted each other, a big soldier would suddenly turn against him, not only betraying him, but even turning back to help the US troops deal with him. In that case, he might lose his life on the battlefield!
So Anthony didn’t dare to confront the U.S. military head-on. He decided that the best strategy was to run away first!
“We can only ask the Germans for help. If they don’t come to support us now, we will have to retreat to Louisiana!”
To the west of Texas is California. There are many American troops in California, and the road to California has to cross the Rocky Mountains. This is not an easy road to travel, so heading west is not feasible.
The enemy came from the north, so if they retreat, they naturally cannot retreat to the north.
And to the south is the Gulf of Mexico. They can’t play in the sea in bathtubs, right?
So for Anthony, the only way out is to retreat eastward and join the Germans!
After hearing Anthony’s words, the faces of several of his men were uncertain. They exchanged glances with each other, and then quickly retracted their gazes to cover up each other’s abnormalities.
Anthony didn’t notice all this, so he was still thinking about how to contact the Germans and how to retreat safely before the American troops arrived.
……
Jefferson City, Florida.
The commander of the Second Army, Model, received the telegram from Texas only after the U.S. troops entered Texas. When he received the telegram for help, Model looked a little strange.
“Vanelk, it looks like we have made a very failed deal!”
He handed the telegram to Vanelk and joked about it.
Vanelk took the telegram curiously and took a look at it.
After reading it, he nodded and echoed,”It does look like that.
It seems that we made a mistake before.
We didn’t expect the rednecks to be so vulnerable.
I originally thought that with their previous performance in the Battle of New Orleans, these people should be able to support the security of our western defense line and solve our dilemma of being attacked from all sides.
Unexpectedly, they not only couldn’t help, but also became our burden!
”
Vanelk shook his head as he spoke, obviously very disappointed with the performance of Anthony and others.
The price of this group of people’s existence is to block the US troops in the west and prevent the US troops from threatening the German army from the west. However, the US troops are now swaggering into Texas. As a result, Anthony and others not only did not resist, but also planned to flee eastward and bring the war to Louisiana!
This is unacceptable to the German army!
“Haha, this can’t be blamed on us. We can only blame ourselves for not expecting the emergence of someone like Ridgway!”
Model heard Vanelk’s annoyed tone, so he began to persuade
“Yes, Ridgway is really a capable person. Who would have thought that he could use such a method to undermine the morale of the rednecks?”
