On the morning of December 15, the White House, Washington, USA. President Adams' office.

Adams's secretary Carter walked quickly to the president's office. When he opened the mén, he saw a cloud of smoke inside, as if a fire had occurred. When he opened mén, the smoke inside came to his face, and he couldn't help but cough.

Inside, Adams, Brian, Zominsk, Henry and Davis all sat on the sofa with fatigue. The situation now occupied a relatively tense situation. Despite their final efforts, the French completed the landing. With the help of their navy, they occupied Botland and defended their positions. In order to avoid greater casualties, the US Army had to retreat and gathered 50 divisions west of Botland to establish a solid defense line. I hope to resist the French attack. [bsp;     But they knew that this was impossible. Now that there is only one legion of French troops landing, more French troops will land. At that time, it will be difficult for their defense line to be defended.

Therefore, Henry asked for a nationwide mobilization to arm more troops as much as possible. But Davis disagreed that those farmers who put down their hoes or workers who put down their tools did not mean soldiers after they took their guns. Sending them to the battlefield would only be massacred by the French. However, his opinions were not valued at all.

Adams finally decided to agree to Henry's military expansion plan, and would arm more troops as much as possible and send them to the front line to resist the French attack. In addition, he would send 20 new divisions to the Botland front line again so that even after the arrival of the French army reinforcements, he could still resist the French army's attack.

The meeting started last night and lasted until this morning. During this period, these people relied on coffee and cigarettes to refresh themselves, so the air in the entire office was very bad.

"Carter, is there anything wrong?" Adams asked.

"His Excellency the President, I just got the latest information. King William IV of Canada, Prime Minister Liverpool and Minister of Defense Wellington, jointly announced that Canada and France have signed a peace treaty and Canada will stop the war with France. Moreover, their army will temporarily be under the command of the French army. Domestic military supplies are also bases and will be used by the French army." Carter said with a pale face.

"What? The Canadians made peace with the French?" Adams felt a dizzy moment.

"Damn it, we were betrayed by the Canadians?" Brian also exclaimed.

"The Canadians still have 60 divisions of the army, how can we resist?" Zominsk's face turned pale.

"We have to immediately dispatch troops to the border area as a bitch. Otherwise, the Canadians will go straight in!" Henry said furiously. After forming an alliance with Canada, the United States only retained several divisions of troops in the border area, and most of the troops were mobilized to the eastern coastal areas. If Canada follows France's orders and marchs to the United States, then the hinterland of the United States will be completely open to Canada.

Davis also had a relatively ugly face. But then he returned to normal. The United States, which had failed in the navy, was no match for France at all. It was obvious that the Canadians would abandon the United States at this time. Similarly, this would speed up the process of the war, and the French would defeat the United States at the lowest cost and win the final victory.

Henry quickly left the White House and headed for the Army Department, preparing to transfer troops north to defend against Canada's attack.

However, it was too late. On December 17, King William IV of Canada announced that war would begin to be held against the United States. Under the order of Wellington, more than 50 divisions of Canadian troops were divided into three routes, crossing the borders of both sides from the eastern, central and western regions of the Great Lakes, and attacking the United States.

According to the treaty signed between France and Canada, France will no longer hold Canada responsible. After the war, Canada will compensate France with 200 million francs of reparations and send troops to attack the United States. However, France may promise that after the victory, the Great Lakes region will rule all of them. This made the Canadian political power work hard, directly tearing open the defense line that the Americans have been rushing into the hinterland of the United States.

At the end of the month, the 7th and 9th Legions of the French Army landed in Botland and joined the 4th Legion that had landed before. The French Army had already hit more than 600,000 troops in Botland. The Americans hit 70 divisions and millions.

In January 1834, when the New Year bell rang, the French team gathered the forces of three legions and launched a fierce attack on the US troops stationed in the Botland area. The three legions gathered thousands of cannons to provide them with powerful artillery fire support.

At the same time, the Eastern Route Army of the Canadian Army also began to attack the US troops and provide support to France.

After more than ten days of hard fighting, the French army finally broke through the American defense line after nearly 100,000 casualties and annihilated and captured more than 500,000 American teams.

The remaining US team retreated south along the coast. The French team pursued relentlessly and conquered Boston with the support of the navy, and at the end of January, it appeared less than 50 kilometers from New York. At the same time, several fleets led by French capital ships also appeared outside New York. Obviously, they were trying to increase firepower support to the army.

Botland's defeat caused the US Army to lose hundreds of thousands of troops, but did not make the Americans lose confidence. In New York, the United States once again assembled an army of 40 divisions, preparing to use New York City to fight street battles with France in order to consume France.

The French team tried to form several attacks, but none of them could break through the American defense in New York. New York was originally a big city. Now it has been built by the Americans into a war fortress. Barriers and bunkers poured with steel and cement were everywhere, leaving the French Army helpless. If they bypass New York, they were worried that the other party would threaten their side.

After the situation was learned in France, Xiao Jie immediately ordered that in order to reduce casualties, he would erase the entire New York.

The French Army and Navy faithfully implemented Xiao Jie's orders. On the army, it gathered thousands of cannons, including hundreds of 155mm heavy howitzers. On the army, it concentrated two "Glorious" class warships and two "Giant Whale" class warships, as well as dozens of cruisers and destroyers. It launched a very fierce attack on New York City.

The artillery bombardment of New York lasted for two days, and more than 200,000 shells were consumed. All the coastal areas were solved by the navy. Only the areas that the navy could not reach were the army's artillery. After the shelling was over, the entire city of New York had become a ruin. According to post-war statistics, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops deployed by the US Army, more than 200,000 civilians who had not evacuated were all in the city. However, in the fierce shelling of the French team, only a very small number of people survived, and the rest were all killed by the violent shelling.

After the shelling, the French army launched an attack on New York. The surviving US team still resisted tenaciously, and they fought with the French team for streets, houses, and even ruins. Although they fought very tenaciously, they were eventually defeated by the French army. A total of 40 divisions, 600,000 people were withdrawn in advance, and only more than 100,000 people were all annihilated in New York. Not many civilians survived.

The French army's destructive attack method also greatly shocked the Canadians who were attacking with them. The overwhelming shelling of the French army made them very frightened. They were even more grateful that the king and the government signed a peace treaty with the French. Although it would pay a considerable price for this, it would be better than becoming the enemy of the French. Otherwise, a tragedy like New York would have been staged in Canada.

After conquering New York, the French Army underwent a brief rest. Throughout the way, although they had eliminated millions of US troops, they also paid nearly 200,000 casualties, especially the front-line combat troops, which were even more casualties. Some squads and squads, and even half of them were left. For this reason, France urgently dispatched a group of reserve soldiers to supplement.

In early February, when the French army conquered New York, another French team landed in the United States. The 11th and 15th French Corps, with the cooperation of the navy, successfully landed in the eastern U.S. city of Elizabeth, and then conquered Portsmouth, marched towards Richmond, and threatened Washington from the south.

The two French teams, one in the south and one in the north, gathered millions of people, and the troops were only worth Washington. This put the United States under great pressure. In the previous war, one million troops had been lost. Although in addition to the 120 divisions of the previous regular army, the United States also mobilized 150 divisions, the subsequent troops basically did not undergo systematic training and had extremely low combat power. When they went to the battlefield, they were just massacred by the French army.

At the end of February 1834, the French Army's Northern Line Army conquered Philadelphia and approached Washington from the north. The Southern Line Army also conquered Richmond and threatened Washington from the south.
