The US Army retreated steadily on the West Coast, which triggered panic in the United States. After the Chinese team won a great victory in San Bernardino, this panic rose to the extreme. Many Americans have already
Feeling that the United States is unsafe, people immigrated abroad one after another. Rich people are preparing to flee to Europe for refuge, while poor people plan to go to Canada to temporarily avoid the limelight. This has caused serious turmoil in American society and greatly affected economic development.
Influence.
"We don't want war, we need peace!" "Oppose zheng fu continues the war!" "Strongly demand peace talks with the Chinese!"
Outside the White House, tens of thousands of people from all over the United States gathered, protesting to Zhengfu with slogans. A large number of soldiers gathered outside the White House to prevent these angry people from striking the White House.
In the White House, the atmosphere was extremely tense. President Garrett Hobart was so upset. Especially in the past two days, the MPs of the Party began to conspire to submit a bill of distrust of the president to Congress, attempting to impeach Canadians.
The reason is very simple, that is, Zheng Fu's inaction in this war has put the United States in an extremely dangerous situation. Even Garrett Hobart believes that he has done since taking office.
All his actions are for the interests of the United States and the American people. But when the US military was defeated, he could not guarantee whether he could gain the support of the members of the parliament. The only way was to solve the current problems as soon as possible.
"Gentlemen, the situation is completely terrible! The Chinese are rushing around the West Coast without restraint, and the guys from the min zhu zhu party are not calm. What should we do now?" President Garrett Hobart wrinkled
He said with a brow.
Also attending this meeting were Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage, War Minister Russell A. Alger and Admiral Theodore Roosevelt.
Secretary of War Russell Ah Al blushed a little. The performance of the US Army completely shamed the entire United States. Five hundred thousand troops were easily defeated by the Chinese and nearly three hundred thousand were captured.
.This is completely the biggest shame since the founding of the United States.
"His Excellency President, I think the war cannot continue. The army has no strength to resist the Chinese. Moreover, the war has caused serious damage to the country's economy. Many wealthy people believe that the United States is no longer safe,
Immigration abroad has begun, which will cause very serious harm to the US economy. Zhengfu must find a way to solve these problems!" said Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage.
"His Excellency Gage. Although the West Coast is about to fall, most parts of the United States are still safe with the blockade of the Rockies. There is no need for those rich people to panic!" said War Minister Russell Ah Alger.
"But, isn't there a Chinese team that is preparing to cross the Rockies and attack Nevada? If they really succeed, how can they explain to these rich people? They will definitely think that zheng fu is cheating them.
” Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage asked.
"His Excellency Gage, I have dispatched powerful troops to the Rockies to block the Chinese. Even if we cannot stop the Chinese, they cannot go deep into the hinterland of the United States due to logistics reasons. At least, they cannot fight to the United States.
Come to the east. Even if a few Chinese teams have penetrated into the hinterland of the United States, they are definitely not the opponent of the superior forces we gathered together!" Secretary of War Russell Ah Alger explained. This is also the vast territory of the United States.
An advantage of relatively large strategic depth.
"If the Chinese Navy appears on the East Coast and sends troops on the East Coast, what should we do?" Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage suddenly asked.
"This? This is impossible? If the Chinese navy wants to appear on the east coast, they have to enter the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Hon, South America, with the entire journey exceeding 30,000 kilometers." Minister of War Russell Ah Alger said in surprise.
, he thought that there would be no possibility at all.
"His Excellency Roosevelt, if the Chinese Navy organizes a fleet to expedition the east coast of our country, can we defend it?" President Garrett Hobart also became nervous. Compared with the desolate West Coast, the east coast is where the United States is located.
If the East Coast is attacked, the United States will be completely finished.
"His Excellency the President, it is very difficult to cross the Pacific Ocean and enter the Atlantic Ocean to attack our east coast. However, we cannot rule out this possibility. Now, our Navy no longer has its main battleships, although there are still eight battleships on the ship platform that are rushing to work.
.But it is still unable to serve in a short period of time. The Chinese are all a group of madmen. If they organize a fleet to expedition the east coast of our country, we will not be able to stop it. However, there is no relevant news yet. The main warships of the Chinese Navy are all
Still staying in their military port. However, the suggestion of Your Excellency Gage must be taken seriously. If the Chinese really take risks, then we will be terrible!" said Navy Secretary Theodore Roosevelt.
.After the second Sino-US Pacific Navy war, the U.S. Navy's main ships were completely lost, and Theodore Roosevelt, the Secretary of the Navy, did not have much power. During this period, he mainly traveled to and from the East Coast.
Several shipyards were designed to enable three "Maine-class" battleships and five "Illinois-class" battleships of the US Navy to be put into service early. Although these eight battleships were old-fashioned battleships, they were not Chinese Navy at all.
The new battleship is an opponent, but if there are several powerful battleships, the United States will have much more confidence, and its position in the United States will be guaranteed.
"His Excellency the President, even if the Chinese are expeditioning the east coast of our country, under the influence of such a long distance, it is impossible for them to transport too many troops. The army will definitely resist their attack!" Minister of War Russell
?a?Arger said.
"His Excellency Alger, you must admit that the attack on the West Coast has already caused the people to panic. If the East Coast is attacked again, the people will definitely despair towards the United States. At that time, our zheng fu
It will be overthrown first. The newly established zheng fu will surely make peace with the Chinese immediately. At that time, the Chinese will probably get more of what they want. Therefore, no matter what aspect, reach an agreement with the Chinese as soon as possible.
Withdrawing from the war is the best choice for us!” said Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage.
President Garrett Hobart nodded, and obviously, he also agreed with this view very much. If he had some fantasies about the army before and believed that the army could bring him good news, then now, he has completely
Despair. The failures of the US Navy and the Army have made him no longer have any confidence in the US team. In his opinion, since the US team cannot win, it can only be done through diplomatic means.
The problem has been solved. Although diplomatic channels are still very difficult.
"His Excellency the President, but the conditions put forward by the Chinese are too harsh. If we accept it, the security of the United States will not be guaranteed. In this case, even if we escape this time, we still have nothing next time.
Opportunity to defeat China!" Minister of War Russell Ah Alger persuaded. Among the conditions proposed by China, there are those who ceded Alaska and California. Alaska doesn't matter. Although there are some minerals in the snow and ice, it is worth it.
Not high. But California is different. If the Chinese occupy this place, they can use it as a base for attacking the United States. The situation in the future will be even more difficult.
"In this way, we can reply to the Chinese, Alaska, if they want, give them. But we can't cede California!" President Garrett Hobart thought for a while and said.
"But will the Chinese agree to such conditions?" said War Minister Russell Ah Alger.
"How can I know if I don't try it? Besides, except for the French, the rest of the countries are in a stalemate with the Chinese. They must also want to quickly open up the situation. If we make appropriate concessions, the Chinese should
Will agree!" said President Garrett Hobart. Alaska was just an ice field purchased by the United States from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867. In the eyes of the United States, it is not very big.
Use. If this wasteland can be used to satisfy the appetite of the Chinese, it will be worth it.
"His Excellency the President, even if the Chinese are willing to give up their demands on California, what about the huge war reparations they have raised? The United States is unable to pay the one billion dollars in war reparations, which will directly ruin the United States!" Theodore Roosevelt
Said.
"His Excellency Roosevelt, one billion pounds is just the asking price of the Chinese. After negotiations, we can continue to negotiate a lot of this amount. If it can be controlled below five hundred million pounds, the United States will still be able to bear it. However, in the next ten years, the United States will be able to bear it.
The finances will be very difficult. If they can drop to 300 million or even lower, then our difficulties will be much smaller!" said Treasury Secretary Lehman J. Gage. The US economy is growing rapidly
As long as the war can end, the United States will be able to repay these debts soon.
"Since that's the case, send a telegram to the Secretary of State and ask him to reach an agreement with the Chinese as soon as possible and make concessions at the appropriate time. In addition, California is our bottom line!" US President Garrett Hobart made the final decision.
