"Gentlemen, I hope everyone understands that it is time for this government to live and die. We cannot be negligent, otherwise we will be kicked out of office. I think you don't want to be driven out of shame.

Let’s step down! Now, we must unite and cope with this difficulty together!" President Taft looked at the cabinet members with a serious expression, and then said. Because the Southern Madre Mountains were broken, he and this moment were immediately made

The governments are on the verge of collapse. Although the parliament is now in an adjournment period, this does not mean that the government can do whatever it wants, let alone this year is still the year of election. If the news of the defeat on the front line is revealed, then Taft will be fundamentally

I don’t have to participate in the next election, just roll up the bed and roll it out of the White House.

"Yes, Your Excellency President!" The cabinet members replied one after another. To some extent, they and President Taft were both people on the same boat. If the ship sinks, no one can escape. Of course, with Taft,

Compared with President Leaving, their responsibilities are smaller, and at most they can only resign. President Taft may be disgraced because of this. However, they are used to the rights in their hands. If they are asked to go back, they will be disgraced.

They cannot accept the life of ordinary people. Therefore, for the sake of their future, they must work hard with President Taft to cope with this difficulty.

"Okay! Gentlemen, everyone should take action! Secretary of State, Minister of War, Chief of Army Staff, please stay, everyone else will do their own thing!" President Taft was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

After all, the situation is critical now, and it is not the time to have internal strife.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Cabinet members fished out and left President Taft's office. But Secretary of State Frand Knox, Secretary of War Jacob Mt. Dickinson and Chief of Staff Leonard.

Admiral Wood stayed.

"Mr. Knox, I hope the government can further strengthen the supervision of major domestic media from now on and strictly prohibit any news that is not conducive to domestic stability from being exposed. Otherwise, it will cause us big trouble!"

President Taft said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President. However, this is very difficult. Once the people know that the government manipulates public opinion, we may be ousted or even tried by the court." Secretary of State Firland.

C Knox said worriedly. The United States has always advocated democracy and freedom, especially in terms of speech, and any American has the right to speak freely. Now President Taft requires supervision of major American media,

In the history of the United States, it has never happened before and is something that no American can accept.

"Mr. Knox, we have no other way. At least, we cannot let the public know about the defeat of the front line in a short period of time. After General Davis stabilizes Mexico's central defense, we will reveal the situation on the front line to the public.

·This way, there will be no domestic turmoil. I promise that I am definitely not trying to fool the people. Everything I do is for the United States!" said President Taft.

"Okay, Your Excellency President, I will arrange it!" Secretary of State Knox said. He had no other way now, so he could only obey President Taft's orders and go all the way to the dark.

"Very good, Mr. Knox. We will definitely overcome this difficult time. Secretary Dickinson, the Army Department is now going to strengthen the training of recruits in China and the stability of the troops. I don't want the US military theory to be loved by those who think of it.

The incitement of the bad guys, thus an incident that is not conducive to the stability of the United States. The United States' military power belongs to the United States, not to those conspirators!" President Taft said. The army, especially the army's forces, are about maintaining the United States.

Stability is very important.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" said War Minister Dickinson. However, although he answered yes, he himself did not know whether he could do it. After all, what President Taft did this time was too risky.

Once exposed, there will be no room for maneuver.

"The current mission of General Wood's Army General Staff is to fully ensure the Mexican battlefield and send anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to the Mexican battlefield as soon as possible. In any case, we must stabilize the central defense line of the Mexican battlefield and give the people an explanation!" President Taft

He reminded that the defense line of the Southern Madre Mountains has been broken through, and President Taft and the government may have a little chance, but if the central defense line is broken through again, he will have no chance.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, the Army Staff will fully support the Mexican front!" Leonard.

Admiral Wood said that he was very confident about this. Although the Chinese Army broke through the defense line of the Southern Sierra Madre, its own losses were not small. At the same time, due to the lengthening of the logistics supply line and the poor transportation in Mexico,

If the Chinese Army wants to launch a large-scale attack again, it may take some accumulation. In this way, the US military will have plenty of time to stabilize the situation.

"Well, gentlemen, let's do it! God bless us and we will definitely get through this difficult time!" said President Taft.

Secretary of State Knox, Secretary of War Dickinson and Chief of Staff Leonard.

Admiral Wood saluted President Taft and left the office. In fact, they were very unsure and did not know whether they could survive the crisis safely this time.

After the three of them left the office, President Taft sat on the chair all of a sudden and had no sound for a long time. In front of others, he had been holding on. He knew very well that the dilemma he was facing this time would be fine.

He had no choice but to resign. However, he was unwilling to be kicked off the stage in shame, hoping to fight again.

Although President Taft's various response measures are still timely. In fact, for a country like the United States, it is completely impossible for the US military to be defeated on the front line. Such news is blocked.

Media large and small are paying attention to this war. Although the process of the war is related to the future of the United States, if any media can obtain exclusive news, they will quickly expand their influence and become one of the top major media in the United States.

Even though the U.S. Army's military police forces had entered some media before, it was still very difficult to completely block the news.

Admiral Pershing, who was returning to the United States from Mexico, was undoubtedly the first to learn the news. In fact, the plan for the US military to retreat from the defense line of the Southern Sierra Madre was exactly what he planned.

When the defense line was broken and General Davis led the main force of the US military to retreat, he sent a telegram to General Pershing. After receiving the telegram, General Pershing hesitated for a moment, but still ordered someone to send a message.

The person who received the telegram was former President Theodore.

General Roosevelt Pershing was still worried about his dismissal. He and former President Theodore.

Roosevelt also had contacts and knew that such news was for Theodore, who wanted to compete for the president.

For Roosevelt, it is very important.

While President Taft was calling on cabinet members to discuss secretly, former US President Theodore.

Roosevelt and the backbone of his newly formed Progressive Party in New York. These Progressive Party members were basically Theodore.

The elite brought out by Roosevelt from the Republican Party. Although the Progressive Party has a difficult life now without the support of a large consortium. But Theodore.

Roosevelt believed that he would succeed.

Roosevelt also knew the current situation. With Taft already receiving support from many bigwigs in the Republican Party, he wanted to defeat Taft and the Democratic candidate Woodrow.

Wilson, this is very difficult. Therefore, Theodore.

Roosevelt has decided to compromise with Republican supporters, the big capitalists. He believes that the current performance of the Taft administration and the US military has also made these big capitalists very dissatisfied, and this is his opportunity. In fact, Theodor

．

Roosevelt also had some secret contact with several large consortiums, and the effect was pretty good. After all, from the perspective of ability, Theodore.

Roosevelt is much better than Taft. If he is willing to become the spokesperson for big capitalists, it is undoubtedly more suitable than Taft.

"Mr. Roosevelt, there is a telegram from you!" Theodore.

Roosevelt's secretary suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, his face full of shock.

Theodore.

Roosevelt glanced at the secretary suspiciously, and then took the telegram. He didn't know how the usual steady secretary could have this expression, but after reading the telegram, he couldn't calm down.

"Gentlemen, let me tell you a bad news. The US military was defeated by the Chinese in the defense line of the Southern Sierra Madre. Now the commander of the front line, General Davis is leading the main force of the US military to retreat." Theodore.

Roosevelt said.

"God! Why is this happening?" The backbone of the Progressive Party exclaimed.

“Although this is bad news for the United States and the Taft government, it is absolutely good news for us. I suggest that given the incompetence of the Taft government, we should

Contact the members of Congress and initiate a proposal of distrust against President Taft and drive him out of the White House. Otherwise, the United States will definitely be destroyed by the Chinese under his rule!" Theodore.

Roosevelt said loudly.

"Agree! Mr. Roosevelt, we not only want to impeach Taft, but also reveal the news of the defeat on the front line, so that the people know what happened. I think the Taft government must want to block the news!" A Progressive Party

The backbone said, "They are following Theodore."

Roosevelt, the only purpose is to overthrow the Taft government and let Theodore.
Chapter completed!
