Chapter 1012 The Great Retreat

For Theodore.

President Roosevelt ordered the evacuation of General Pershing from central Mexico, and other cabinet members did not express their dissatisfaction. Everyone is very clear that the situation is urgent and the Chinese are likely to take the opportunity to cut off the US military's retreat. If that happens

, This will undoubtedly be a disaster for the US military. Therefore, everyone is unwilling to argue about this matter and waste time.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Leonard, Chief of Staff of the United States Army.

Admiral Wood stood up, saluted and left Theodore.

President Roosevelt's office.

He needs to issue the order in the shortest time, and delay one more minute, and General Pershing and two million American troops will be more dangerous.

Leonard.

After General Wood left, the meeting continued. Although it was already dawn and the cabinet members who had been staying up all night were very tired, everyone seemed to have become accustomed to staying up late. Admiral Pershing's suggestion,

In addition to retreating from central Mexico, there is also the suggestion to prepare to place the battlefield in the southern United States.

"Everyone, now we'll go to the next issue!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt said, "It is equivalent to retreating from central Mexico, Theodore."

President Roosevelt knew the second issue to discuss, and it was even more difficult to get everyone's approval. Although he had agreed to retreat from central Mexico, retreating to northern Mexico and retreating to the United States are completely different. If he retreated from central Mexico, the war would still be

This happens in northern Mexico, which is not unacceptable to the American people. However, once the war breaks out in the United States, it will be completely different.

"His Excellency Elihu Rut, tell everyone about General Pershing's suggestions!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt rubbed his sore eyes and said.

"Yes, Your Excellency President! Everyone, General Pershing believes that with the current situation of our army, we can no longer resist the attack of the Chinese army on the Mexican battlefield! Therefore, General Pershing suggested that the US military retreat from Mexico to the United States. In this way,

We can use convenient transportation to dispatch troops and transport combat supplies. Compared with the Chinese, their logistics supply lines will be longer and more fragile. This will increase our chances of victory!" War Minister Elihu.

Rut told.

"No! This is absolutely not possible! If the war burns to the United States, it will completely make the American people lose their trust in the government. The promises we made to the people will be regarded as lies by the people. For the government,

It poses a fatal threat!" Secretary of State William.

James.

Brian first objected. It can be foreseeable that if the war burned to the United States, what kind of unrest would trigger in the United States? This is definitely not what the government that wants to strive to ensure the stability of American society hopes to see.

"Is the army of Elihu Rut so incompetent? If you cannot block the Chinese outside the United States, you might as well just surrender to the Chinese, so that you can reduce the number of Chinese as much as possible.

Losses of the United States!" Treasury Secretary William.

Gibbs.

McAdu even said bluntly that this made War Minister Elihue.

Rut's face suddenly turned pale. It was not that the US Army had weak combat power, but that the enemy was too strong! The endless new weapons of the Chinese army made it difficult for the US Army to deal with.

"If the battlefield is placed on the territory in the southwest, can the army ensure that it will definitely defeat the Chinese and achieve victory in the war?" Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson said. This is the real and most critical issue. If you can defeat the Chinese, then everything is easy to say. If you can't defeat the Chinese, then everything is empty talk.

Theodore.

President Roosevelt also looked at War Minister Elihue.

Rut, waiting for his answer. He hoped Elihu very much.

Minister Rut was able to give an extremely affirmative answer.

He is destined to be disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Vice President, I can't give you this promise. The Chinese are too strong

And in this war, the Chinese obviously wanted to destroy the United States, and they would not give up until they achieved their goal. The army could only fight against the Chinese. As for how the final battle would develop, only God knows!" Minister of War Yi

Lexiu Rutt said.

Even though, Elihue.

The answer from Rut's troops was quite objective. After all, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and no one could be sure what would become in the end. However, his answer obviously could not satisfy other senior officials of the cabinet. Therefore, Pershing went to the scene.

The second suggestion of the next one is obviously only stranded. No one is willing to take such a big risk. If the Chinese are put into the United States and lose the war in the end, they will become the sinner of the United States. This will not only

If they take advantage of their future, they will even be torn to pieces by angry people.

"His Excellency President, I think this is not the case! Let General Pershing retreat to northern Mexico for the time being to set up defenses, and then look at the development of the war. If the facts are not good for us, the war will burn on the American mainland, that's not the case!

It's a fight!" Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson said.

"Well, it seems that's the only one now!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt said. Of course, he didn't want this to happen in the end. Once the war burned in the United States, even if the United States could win the final victory, it would probably suffer heavy losses. This is tantamount to the United States.

Of course, the war tests the comprehensive strength of a country and will not be diverted by the will of a certain person. China has been preparing for this war, to completely defeat the United States, and to eliminate the threat from the other side of the ocean for many years.

It is almost impossible for the United States to simply defeat China.

"Everyone, it's already dawn. Let's go back and rest first! I will report the latest battlefield situation to you in time!" Theodore.

Roosevelt said. After staying up all night, his face was full of fatigue. After all, he was old and could not compare to when he was young.

Members of the US government's cabinet left the White House one after another, with only War Secretary Elihue.

Rut stayed.

"Minister Elihu Rut, although I am very clear that the situation of the war is not entirely due to the Army itself. However, the Chinese are under too much pressure on us. There were advanced fighter jets from the Air Force before, but now the Army is also

New weapons were used. Judging from the previous introduction of General Wood, we must have a way to counter the new weapons of the Chinese. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to win this war!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt puts Minister of War Elihue.

Rut stayed specifically to remind him of this matter. When he was Secretary of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet suffered a great loss under the new battleships of the Chinese Navy and lost the Hawaiian Islands.

It also made the United States go bad for nearly two decades.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, I have ordered military industry experts to analyze and study this new weapon of the Chinese, and strive to bring out weapons that can counter the Chinese in the shortest time." Minister of War Elihu.

Rut said, however, these all take time. And the current time is especially lacking for the United States. The fighter jet project is progressing relatively smoothly because it is a cooperation with Britain and France. It is expected that it will take not long, Britain, France and the United States.

The fighter jets jointly developed can soar in the blue sky.

"For the new weapons that the Chinese have invested in the Mexican battlefield this time, I think we can also jointly develop with Britain and France. After all, the Chinese have used this weapon on the battlefield, which means that Germany will also be very likely to obtain.

If this weapon is prepared early, it will not be harmful to Britain and France!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt said that although the United States is the world's largest industrial power now, it is not an industrial power. There is still a big gap in technology, especially military technology, compared with Britain, France and Germany. If the United Kingdom, France and France are helping

With technological strength, the United States can use weapons to counter the Chinese army's tank troops in the shortest time.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, I will contact Britain and France immediately.

I believe they will not reject our proposal!" said War Minister Elihu Rut. If the three countries jointly develop it, it will undoubtedly be the best, which can reduce a lot of costs and speed up the progress of research.

In terms of the battle situation, it is undoubtedly very important!

On April 27, when the sun rose from the sky and shone into Mexico City, Mexico City was already in chaos. Before receiving a telegram from the US government, General Pershing ordered David

Admiral Sri Lanka began to prepare for his retreat. The first ten troops deployed in Mexico City had already embarked on a journey to retreat north at 5:30 in the morning. When the US government agreed to the withdrawal order, Pan Xing

The general even ordered the ten troops deployed in the south of Mexico City to immediately begin to retreat. At the same time, the ten troops deployed in Cuernavaca immediately packed up and retreated secretly after dark. In addition,

The twelve armies of Kuotra, who are fighting fiercely with the Chinese army, were also asked to persist until dark tonight before retreating to avoid arousing suspicion from the Chinese.

According to General Pershing's analysis, even after Lieutenant General Richard surrendered, the Chinese army rushed from Vehochinggo to Mexico City, which would take at least two days or even longer. The US military will now
