"The president is resting, you can't go in." An attendant stopped State Secretary William Janesbrian and the Chief of Naval Operations Benson who were trying to enter by force.

"Young man, what you do will affect the future of the United States. Today's matter is very big. Get out of the way!" Benson, who was born in the military, was already a little impatient, and today's matter was too important. Just when he was about to force it

When pushing aside the attendant, President Wilson walked out with a tired face and looked at his Secretary of State and Benson with some dissatisfaction.

"I thought that after the Vice President and Maggie Fen were going to England, no one would disturb my rest." Although Wilson said it very rudely, he still motioned for them to come in. Suddenly, when he saw Ben behind him,

Senshi, a feeling of something bad happened instantly filled his brain! Now the Chinese Navy is confronting the US Navy, could Benson's arrival mean that something is wrong?

"Did the Chinese navy open fire?" In the office, President Wilson asked immediately after the attendant left the room. His words were full of nervousness and uneasiness. He advocated being tough on China, but he did not let the navy actually take action. Even if it did,

We can’t fight now!

"Mr. President, the matter is more complicated than you think. On Saipan, our transport ship was attacked by a submarine of unknown nationality, causing heavy losses..." Benson then briefly explained the whole story. "In Saipan

In a chaotic situation, due to misjudgment of intelligence, we had a firefight with the Chinese fleet."

"It seems that the young men in the Navy must have suffered a loss." Wilson thought and responded casually. At this time, his mind was thinking about who had the audacity to attack the U.S. Navy!

"Not only was it a loss, it was even more embarrassing to some extent than during the Spanish-American War. At least we made the Spanish pay the price during the Spanish-American War. We at least fought with them many times, but this time

, our USS New Mexico was severely damaged by the Longwu-class battleship in just 10 minutes! The power was knocked out in half, and the hull entered the water with thousands of tons! In just 10 minutes!" Benson said sadly.

"This is impossible. This is a battleship of more than 32,000 tons. It is the most advanced! How could this be? I participated in its commissioning ceremony back then. It is the flagship of the U.S. fleet!" President Wilson said.

He stood up immediately. "How is he now?" After a long time, Wilson, who was deeply shocked, asked.

"A telegram saved his life, and we subsequently captured a torpedo. This should have been left behind by the submarine that missed its launch, and this torpedo was not used by China, but a British standard torpedo! Someone

I think it is very bad to stir up conflicts between our two big countries behind the scenes. We must make those behind the scenes pay the price.

Therefore, General Sims has reached a preliminary cooperation intention with General Yang Yonglin of the Chinese Navy. However, now, we believe that General Sims may not be suitable for completing such an arduous task. The Navy believes that General Ma Jifen will be a good choice, regardless of

This is true from both the ability and the personal perspective." He finished the rest of the content in one breath.

"You go and handle the navy matters. I believe Lieutenant General McGiffin can handle it all. Now that the Vice President comes back, we have to re-evaluate our relationship with the Allies." President Wilson said coldly. His tone was already full.

It's so cold!

To be honest, no matter from a political or motivational point of view, President Wilson did not believe that the British would find trouble at this time! Politically speaking, the United States was simply the logistics base of the Allies, and a large amount of supplies were transported to Europe by American merchant ships to fight against the Allies.

Ammunition and weapons. There is no need for the British to do the opposite

Coming to the United States, it is true that the British used tricks to let China take advantage of the German Far East colonies. American merchant ships also transported to the Allies, and they were also detained by the British, but the United States really cannot believe it.

The British will use torpedoes to attack American merchant ships! Are you tired of living?

From a motive point of view, Britain is urging China and the United States to stop, otherwise the British would not come to mediate as soon as the two sides mobilized their fleets. But then again, could this be the British trying to spread suspicion? With the United States

The power of China to contain China, which has some pro-German tendencies, has made it impossible for China to join the Allies in the end? Moreover, no matter how powerful the Chinese navy is, it cannot threaten the security of the Atlantic route. The Americans can still provide supplies to the United Kingdom, thus completely tying the United States to

british war

In the car? And China’s declaration of war with the United States does not necessarily mean that it declares war on the Allies. There has always been only one enemy! Suddenly, President Wilson felt that this was really possible. As a result, all the major powers in the world were plunged into war.

China cannot pose a threat to Britain, and the United States must also rely on the Allied Powers to fight against China. By then, I am afraid that the United States will not just sell things, but will also send a large number of troops to participate in the European war in exchange for the Allied Powers' support for the United States after the European War.

support!

"If this is really the case, this strategy is too vicious!" President Wilson, who thought he had found a glimmer of the truth, said through gritted teeth. Combined with the various tricks used by the British in history, President Wilson felt more and more justified.

By this time, he no longer trusted Britain, although he still had some feelings for the Chinese Republic.

He was certain that the other party was hostile, but he knew that the hostility could not continue now. First of all, Americans could not serve as gunmen for the Allied Powers in vain. On the other hand, through the battle between the Longwu and the New Mexico, the Americans could no longer attack themselves.

How much confidence does the fleet have! It took only 10 minutes for them to be beaten to the ground. This is too ridiculous!

Although Wilson wanted to work with the Allied Powers to defeat the Central Powers and get a share of the pie. But now, Wilson believes that if the British are really responsible for it, then they must turn this empire on which the sun never sets into an empire on which the sun never sets! And now, the only partner he can trust is actually

It was Hua Xia who had never met each other before, and even had a fight at the beginning of the movie dozens of hours ago, and was also plotted against!

"It's time to let the world know the attitude of the United States." President Wilson said with some regret. After all, the opponent this time was not China, but the British. So the president immediately issued an order and formulated a plan to temporarily suspend all travel to Europe.

Merchant shipping will also negotiate with the Republic of China to completely take over the relevant sea areas where the incident occurred and conduct a thorough investigation of the entire area! Wilson has decided that God will kill God and Buddha will kill Buddha! If the British dare to say half

The word is correct!

Almost at the same time, Xu Jie was also thinking with a report. If he said that this was something done by the British, Xu Jie would not believe it to death. After all, he was a time traveler and knew the British better than people today.

After more than 100 years, the British dared to seize other people's merchant ships during World War 1, and dared to conceal the information about Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor during World War 2. But in this dimension, they dared to plot against two major powers, China and the United States, at the same time.

Lloyd George wouldn't dare even if you gave him ten courages, and it's completely unnecessary.

The British are several levels higher than Germany in foreign affairs. Historically, they pulled Japan to fight Russia, then Russia to fight Germany, and finally the United States to fight Germany. Moreover, the Americans did not get any benefits at the Paris Peace Conference.

This has demonstrated the excellence of British diplomacy and strategy. Now that the Americans are basically on the side of the Allies, the British have no need to take risks. And if you say that the British take risks, you can use the British torpedoes

What are you doing? Isn’t this looking for death?

If it weren't for this torpedo, Xu Jie would have doubted whether it was the Germans who did it. After all, if they cooperate with the camouflaged supply ships at sea, the German ocean-going submarines can definitely come to the Far East. And for Germany, if this is successful,

There are indeed advantages. First, Germany can use the power of China to defeat the British and French colonial systems in the Asia-Pacific.

Broken, the second is to cut off the Russians’ foreign aid. Even if the United States joins, the Allies will not be afraid of their opponents. More importantly, Kaiser Wilhelm absolutely dared to do this. He even dared to persuade the German ambassador to Mexico to encourage Mexico to submit to the United States

If it wants to start a war, what else can it not do? In other words, the Germans are capable and motivated!

However, the attachments in the report allowed Xu Jie to completely rule out the possibility of Germany. The Americans were still very rigorous in doing things. They even determined the specific number of the torpedo based on its shape, shared the British intelligence that the Americans had spied on, and returned it to

Don’t be surprised if the Americans know the list of countries that own this torpedo. Even allies are trying to undermine each other and spy on each other, not to mention they are only quasi-allies now!

Although the Americans are very careful, Xu Jie took a look and found that none of the countries above had the motive or ability to commit crimes. Small European countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Greece have this thing, but these countries may go to the Far East to cause trouble for China.

Is it? Obviously impossible, the three countries of ABC in South America have it, but it can obviously be ruled out. This information is almost useless!

Xu Jie threw the report aside with some worry, and then glanced at the world map hanging on the wall. A country located in the northeast corner of China caught his attention! Japan! This is another country that has the ability and motivation!

Originally, in Xu Jie's view, Japan had been beaten to death by China and could not be turned over.

But there is a premise for this, that is, there is no strong external force involved. The Japanese must also know this truth! So they need to muddy the waters in the Pacific Rim! As for capabilities? Isn't it just sending a few submarines?

Japan has submarines, and they use British submarines, and they also have British torpedoes!

Although the document does not mention that Japan has such torpedoes, Xu Jie believes that the British will definitely sell some more advanced weapons to Japan privately. The so-called intention between China and the United Kingdom on the issue of arms sales to Japan is actually not at all

How binding. It is possible that the British secretly gave some advanced torpedoes to Japan, and it is indeed not easy to check this thing! After all, torpedoes are much smaller than battleships!
