    After the sun set, the Chinese army stopped its pursuit, and the Battle of Haltiangis came to an end.  Except for most of the 16th Army and part of the 25th Army, which fled back to Tierra Colorada, the rest of the US troops deployed in Haltiangis were all annihilated by the Chinese army.  The American general Lieutenant General George committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and several other generals were captured. The Chinese army won the Battle of Hartianjis.

    The statistics of the battle results were not completed until the next morning. The officers of the staff were busy all night. Their eyes were as red as rabbits, but everyone's faces were full of joyful smiles.

    "Sir, this is the battle report of this battle!" General Xie Dingkun handed the battle report to the Secretary of the Army and the supreme commander of the Mexican battlefield, General Zhao Bowen, with a smile on his face.  He had read the battle report in advance, and he was very satisfied with the result.

    General Zhao Bowen took the battle report and read it. It clearly listed the losses and results achieved by the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries in the Battle of Hartianjis.  In this battle, the two main armies of the Chinese army killed more than 6,700 people, seriously injured more than 4,100 people, and seriously injured more than 12,000 people. Almost two infantry divisions were lost.  The losses of the Japanese mercenaries were somewhat severe. A total of three divisions of the Japanese mercenaries had their designations temporarily canceled due to excessive casualties. They will have to wait until the newly formed divisions in Japan are completed before they can be restored.  The Japanese mercenaries were poorly equipped, but they fought hard in this battle.  In this battle, more than 46,000 Japanese mercenaries were killed, with almost no serious casualties. More than 52,000 were slightly injured, and almost ten divisions were lost.

    The Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries suffered heavy losses, but at the same time, the US military suffered even greater losses.  Since the battle began on the 28th of last month, the US military has deployed a total of five armies in Haltiangis. Among them, the US 24th Army evacuated Haltiangis ahead of schedule due to losses of more than half.  Including the U.S. 16th Army and the 25th Army that finally retreated, the U.S. military lost a total of about 180,000 troops in Hartianjis.  Among them, nearly 100,000 people died in the battle, and the remaining more than 80,000 people all entered prisoner-of-war camps built by China.

    "My lord, Oshima Yimasa is here!" At this time, General Du Qizheng walked in.

    "I'm sorry to see you, Mr. Zhao!" After General Oshima Yoshimasa entered the headquarters, he immediately saluted General Zhao Bowen with a humble look on his face.  However, his eyes were also full of smiles.  Although the Japanese mercenaries suffered heavy losses this time, and the loss of nearly ten divisions made him very sad, there is no doubt that the Japanese mercenaries made great contributions in this battle.  China will definitely express its views.

    "General Oshima, the Japanese mercenaries performed very well in this battle. I am very satisfied. I will report your achievements to His Majesty the Emperor. I will definitely give you corresponding rewards when the time comes." General Zhao Bowen smiled.  said.

    "Thank you, Mr. Zhao!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said quickly.

    ¡°In addition, if you make a list of the officers and soldiers who performed outstandingly this time, I will suggest that the government give these heroes Chinese nationality!¡± General Zhao Bowen said.  For today's Japanese, if they can obtain Chinese nationality, it is undoubtedly a supreme honor. Even if they do not go to China to settle down, but stay in Japan, they will be treated favorably by the government because they have Chinese nationality.

    "Yes, on behalf of all Japanese mercenary officers and soldiers, I would like to thank Mr. Zhao!" Oshima Yoshimasa said quickly.

    "Well! As long as the Japanese mercenaries fight for the empire with all their heart, the empire will never forget you. This time the Japanese mercenaries lost ten divisions and immediately transferred ten divisions from Acapulco to supplement them. We will take over  Next, we will launch an attack on Tiela Colorada. I hope the Japanese mercenaries can perform better in this battle!" General Zhao Bowen said.

    "Yes, sir, please rest assured that the Japanese mercenaries will fight with all their strength to help the empire defeat the Yankees as soon as possible!" Oshima Yoshimasa said, patting his chest.  Although, he knew that this would cause the Japanese mercenaries to lose more troops.  However, he didn't care about the casualties of ordinary soldiers. He didn't take it seriously. As long as the more meritorious service the Japanese mercenaries accomplished, the more stable his position would be.  Anyway, there were a lot of Japanese, so it didn't matter if some of them died in battle.

    Afterwards, General Zhao Bowen immediately sent this battle report back to the country.  After reading the battle report, the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze was very happy. He asked the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense to commend the meritorious personnel. At the same time, he published the results of the Imperial Army in major newspapers such as the "Imperial Daily News". Suddenly, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people was completely ignited.  .  Previously, many people cursed the incompetent and treacherous officials for deceiving His Majesty the Emperor because of their poor performance.  Now, doubts about General Zhao Bowen have completely disappeared, replaced by words of praise.  Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze took the opportunity to announce that General Zhao Bowen would be promoted to Imperial Field Marshal. However, the promotion ceremony would not take place until the United States was defeated.

     At this time, the reputation of Army Minister Zhao Bowen in the empire suddenly increased a lot, and he truly became one of the giants of the imperial military.

    At the same time, the results of the Battle of Hartianjis were also known to the major powers in the world.  In the ice-covered Europe, the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers are using this winter to accumulate strength and prepare to launch a new round of attacks on their opponents after the arrival of spring.  China's annihilation of more than 180,000 U.S. troops in Hartianjis undoubtedly once again proved the strength of the Chinese army, which made Britain, France, Russia and other countries worried.  Originally, they were all optimistic that with the combat power of the US military and the industrial strength of the US, under the conditions of China's attack across the Pacific, the US military should be able to withstand the Chinese army's attack, or even defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop.  But now it seems that it is very difficult for the US military to defeat the Chinese army.  If the Allies did not want to lose this war, they could only defeat Germany as much as possible.  However, Germany does not seem to be so easy to defeat!  Germany's results against the Chinese army have been mixed.  Fortunately, China is still strong and can hold back or even defeat the United States, the most powerful among the Allied Powers.  The good thing is that after defeating the Allies, Germany and China will inevitably confront each other. Will Germany be able to defeat China by then?  Although Germany has always claimed that the German Army is the strongest in the world, everyone in Germany is still somewhat dissatisfied with the Army's performance at the beginning of the war.  Although, this is largely due to the conductor.  If Moltke had not revised the Schlieffen Plan and weakened the German army on the right, perhaps the German army would have captured Paris by now and forced France to withdraw from the war.

    The European battlefield has fallen into a protracted war, which is very detrimental to Germany.  However, it is too late to say this now. The new German Chief of Staff Falkenhayn is preparing for the spring offensive.  German Navy Minister Tirpitz is also waiting for the ¡®Bavaria-class battleships to enter service, and then launches a challenge to the British Royal Navy!

    The most depressing one is probably the US government.  Previously, the U.S. military resisted the Chinese army's attack in Hartianjis. Newspapers across the United States wildly claimed that the U.S. Army would resist China's attack and eventually defeat China.  U.S. President William.  Howard.  Taft even commended Lieutenant General George, commander of the 11th US Army, for this.  However, in just a few days, the US military failed. Hartianjis was captured by the Chinese army, and the US military lost more than 100,000 people. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the US military!

    On the evening of February 5, U.S. President William.  Howard.  When Taft received the report of the war, he immediately became furious in the White House. Many of the fine china in his office suffered as a result and were smashed into pieces by the angry President Taft.

    "Your Excellency, the Vice President, Secretary of State, and cabinet ministers are all here!" A beautiful female secretary with blond hair opened the door of the office and reported to President Taft.

    "Miss Christine, let them go to the conference room. Also, find someone to clean up this place!" President Taft said.

    "Yes, Your Excellency, President!" The beautiful female secretary nodded quickly. Now that President Taft was angry, she did not dare to provoke him.

    President Taft tidied up his clothes and went to the conference room of the White House.  When he came to the conference room, all cabinet members of the US government were already here.  However, everyone's expressions were a little unnatural.  They celebrated the victory of the US military here just a few days ago, but in just a few days, the situation reversed.

    President Taft entered the conference room, came to his seat, took a look at everyone, and then said: "We just suffered a disastrous defeat in the Hartian Guis in Mexico. Our army lost nearly two hundred thousand people."  Of course, we also caused great losses to the Chinese. The Chinese lost no less troops than we did. According to the introduction in the battle report, all this was entirely due to the incompetence and incompetence of Lieutenant General George, the commander of the 11th Army.  Stubbornness. Secretary Dickinson, I demand a court-martial for Lieutenant General George!"

    "Your Excellency, the latest news I just received is that Lieutenant General George committed suicide before being captured!" Secretary of War Jacob Mt Dickinson said.

    "Damn it! Well, that's the end of it. But everyone, the war has just begun. Although we have experienced a defeat, our main force has not suffered much losses, and we still have a chance to win. For  To avoid causing panic among the people, I suggest that all news about the Battle of Hartianghis be blocked,¡± President Taft said.

    Although this goes against the spirit of democracy, cabinet members nodded.  It is undoubtedly necessary for the government to remain silent on this issue!
