Under Patton's strong encouragement, Roosevelt changed his army-building idea and finally formed the first tank regiment of the Continental Army. Because of Patton's suggestion, the tank regiment was handed over to Commander Patton. After becoming the regiment commander, Patton devoted himself to work with great enthusiasm and trained his young men hard, so that the tank regiment's combat effectiveness quickly surpassed other troops and became the first ace under Roosevelt. In order to be on the safe side of this uprising conference, Roosevelt also brought the tank regiment, and they were arranged to be alert in the suburbs.

Patton was a very scheming person. After receiving the alert mission, he immediately sent a large number of scouts to go 30 kilometers to investigate. As a result, he really found out the movements of the government forces, which gave Roosevelt a long preparation time so that he would not be in a hurry to respond on the spot.

Roosevelt immediately issued a war order, calling on all the officers and soldiers of the Continental Army to join the battle against tyranny. Some of the newly established Continental Army officers and soldiers were ready to go and planned to fight the government forces in the suburbs of Lexington Town. Lexington Town is worthy of being a place with a tradition of resistance. Inspired by Roosevelt, some young people in the town also brought weapons and joined the sequence of the Continental Army. After 154 years, the gunshots of Lexington were about to sound again.

An infantry battalion of the Continental Army dug some simple foxholes in the front of Lexington Town as a unit to lure the enemy. The battalion commander of the infantry battalion was Lieutenant Colonel Patton's junior, Major Weidmai, who graduated from West Point in 1919. This White Eagle Kingdom General, who served as the highest commander of the Hualan War Zone in later generations, also encountered a situation similar to that of Patton, and was also recruited by Roosevelt to join the Continental Army.

When a regiment of government troops arrived outside Lexington, they were immediately intercepted. The government troops sent representatives to demand that the infantry battalion be surrender immediately, but Major Weidmai refused. "The government violates the constitution. It is no longer the legal government of the White Eagle Kingdom. You have no obligation to serve the government. We come for justice and will never surrender to the army of the illegal government. If you must fight, then let the war begin here."

Major Weidemay's words were equivalent to a declaration of war. After the government army representatives returned to the camp, the war finally began. The civil war, which was the founding of the White Eagle Utopian Republic, was initiated from here.

The government army first used 75mm field guns to bombard the defensive areas of Weidemai Infantry Battalion. The soldiers of the mainland army had to hide in the fox pits and silently endured the opponent's shelling. However, this situation quickly changed. Although the mainland army did not have enough artillery, there was a tank battalion commanded by Patton. As the opponent arrived, they had quietly hidden into the woods on the flanks.

Thirty-six T1E1 tanks have already been hot and are waiting to set off at any time. This new tank that the White Eagle Army has not yet equipped is an improved version of the current Christian T1 tank in the army. Its predecessor was the world's first tank with an independent suspension system. It was finalized in 1921, weighing 11 tons, equipped with a 12.7mm Browning machine gun, with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour, but its armor thickness is only 4.7mm, which is not as good as a Hualan State armored vehicle.

This improved tank was improved by Ford Motor Company, a subsidiary of Hollywood. They installed the V12 engine on the plane on the tank and thickened the armor to 20 cm. The machine gun was also converted into a 35mm short-barrel tank gun. This modification made the T1E1 tank much stronger than history, and also gave the Continental Army Tank Regiment a considerable advantage when facing the government tank troops.

When the tank regiment led by Lieutenant Colonel Patton suddenly drove out of the woods and appeared behind the government army, the government army's arrogant artillery troops were immediately in chaos. Not to mention being directly attacked by tank troops, even if they were approached by infantry, the artillery could only wait for death. When thirty-six new tanks broke into the artillery position at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, all those artillery soldiers could do was to run away with their heads in their arms.

The collapse of the artillery forces caused the government forces to lose long-range firepower, and also lost all means to fight against tanks. They thought the other party was using Christian tanks like the government forces, and planned to use machine gun firepower to deal with their weak front armor. Unexpectedly, the front armor of the Continental Army tanks was so thick that it could not be penetrated by the 12.7 mm Browning machine gun. As a result, the government forces were naturally defeated.

When the four infantry regiments of the Continental Army rushed up from all directions, the government army had no choice but to surrender. The Continental Army won a great victory in its first battle, not only wiped out a regiment of the government army, but also captured nearly 800 prisoners and seized a large number of guns and ammunition, including eighteen M1 type 75mm field artillery.

The powerful combat capabilities of the mainland army made everyone look at each other with admiration and shocked the government forces. As both sides tore their faces apart, the new civil war officially kicked off. Roosevelt had prepared in advance. As soon as his conscript order was issued, guards and militias from all over the country were armed to form a new army to fight against the government forces everywhere.

Roosevelt gathered militias from the surrounding areas of Massachusetts nearby, and soon gathered a team of more than 10,000 people in his hands. After integration, this force was organized into the First Division of the Continental Army, commanded by Lieutenant General MacArthur who was retired early, and Lieutenant General Marshall served as chief of staff. In addition, because the role of tanks was recognized, the tank regiment was expanded into a tank brigade and continued to be commanded by Patton, who was promoted to colonel.

The First Division was strong and strong, and Roosevelt quickly began to plan to march to New York. New York is the economic center of the White Eagle Kingdom, with the most important Wall Street financial system and a large number of industrial areas in the country. Once it occupied it, Roosevelt would control one-tenth of the country's economy and severely damaged the government's prestige.

Roosevelt's idea was soon poured cold water by General Marshall. He believed that after the violent shock of the financial system, the importance of Wall Street declined sharply. Most of the industrial systems around New York rely on the financial industry. Due to the breakdown of the capital chains of major banks, the surrounding enterprises also caused a large number of bankruptcies. Now, there are not many benefits that can be obtained by occupying there.
