At 6 a.m. on January 12, Washington time, U.S. Ambassador to Spain Alex had contacted U.S. Secretary of State William with his contact with Chinese Ambassador to Spain Hu Weide.

James.

Brian reported. After receiving the telegram sent back by Ambassador Alex, Secretary Brian was very frustrated, which means that the Chinese are very reluctant to engage in peace talks with the United States, and those who are waiting for the United States seem to be the only one who is

There is such a way to perish! If no miracle happens, the United States will be dead!

Secretary of State Brian immediately went to Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson, report this to him because Secretary of State Brian and Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson and both are from the Democratic Party, so they naturally have to get close to each other. Vice President Woodrow.

After reading the telegram, Wilson remained silent for a long time. The Chinese did not give the United States any chance, which means that the Chinese were determined to destroy the United States. In this case, the United States wanted to maintain it.

Then there is no possibility!

"Brian, let's go to the White House! No matter what, Roosevelt is the president, and he has to decide on this matter!" Woodrow.

Vice President Wilson said that he is somewhat grateful that the president is Theodore.

Roosevelt was, if it were him, I'm afraid he would inevitably be responsible for this defeat.

"Okay, Vice President!" Secretary of State Brian nodded. They all knew that the United States was hopeless this time. As a senior government official, they had to consider themselves!

The two arrived at the White House by car. They only learned about Theodore after entering the White House.

President Roosevelt didn't sleep all night and was still waiting in the office for news from Madrid. Obviously, Theodore.

President Roosevelt also attaches great importance to this contact between China and the United States, which is directly related to the future destiny of the United States. If China does not give the United States a chance, the United States will be dead!

Woodrow.

Vice President Wilson and Secretary Brian entered Theodore under the guidance of the secretary.

In President Roosevelt's office, they saw the tired-faced Theodore.

President Roosevelt had a strong aroma of coffee in his office, and the cigarette butts in the ashtray on his desk were piled up like a hill. Obviously, last night, Theodore.

President Roosevelt relies on these two things to support him!

"Two, please sit down! Is there news about Madero?" Theodore.

President Roosevelt asked. He knew that the US ambassador to Spain was a member of the Democratic Party. If there was any news with China, he would definitely tell them the first!

"His Excellency the President, news has been heard from Madrid, but the Chinese have rejected our request!" Secretary of State Brian said!

After hearing what Secretary of State Brian said, Theodore.

President Roosevelt's eyes darkened. Although he had already guessed that it would be the result, he still felt a little sad. Is the powerful United States no longer qualified to beg for peace from the enemy? Or those evil Chinese people must take the United States

Only when it perishes!

"His Excellency the President, the Chinese people have proposed to surrender unconditionally and disarm all their weapons. Otherwise, the war will continue. However, this is unacceptable to us! If we put down our weapons and surrender to the Chinese,

Then we will have to be slaughtered by the Chinese!" Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson said!

"It seems that the Chinese indeed regard us as their biggest threat, so they deliberately wanted to destroy us! Unfortunately, our military strength is too weak and we are not the opponent of the Chinese, otherwise we would not have left, nor did we leave.

That's the point!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt sighed that the United States has the most powerful industrial strength in the world, but in terms of military strength, it cannot match its status as a major power. Even Theodore.

During the two previous term of President Roosevelt, he tried every means to improve the United States' military strength, but the final result was still a failure. In the face of the powerful Chinese, the United States' military strength seemed so weak!

In fact, in essence, the United States' military strength is not weak, the key is that their enemies are too strong.

If it were another enemy, the United States might not have been defeated. But when faced with a powerful China, their defeat will inevitably be inevitable!

"Come and find the Minister of War and the Minister of Navy!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt picked up the phone on his desk and ordered the secretary outside the door! Since peace is impossible, the United States can only continue to fight! If they surrender to the Chinese, they will lose all their chances.

If they fight the Chinese to the end, they may have some chances!

"His Excellency President, although we still have four million troops, the morale of the troops is very low now. With the defeat of the Shanghai army, many people have lost confidence. Under such circumstances, we can withstand the attack of the Chinese people.

"Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson asked!

"His Excellency Vice President! We can only strive for a glimmer of vitality when we die! In Europe, Britain, France and Russia are enough to reconcile with our allies, and then we will unite to deal with China's threat! After all, China's rise is for the entire Western world.

It will be a disaster. Britain, France and Russia are trying to integrate the power of the entire Western world to fight against China. As long as Germany can agree, the Western world can unite to fight against China. At that time, we may have a chance!"

Odo.

President Roosevelt said. This is already the last life-saving straw for the United States. If even this fails, the United States will never have any chance!

Woodrow.

Vice President Wilson nodded and expressed his agreement. He knew that if the entire Western world could unite, as long as the United States could persist, there would be a glimmer of hope. Of course, this might be very difficult, but at least it is better than the country.

It would be much better to destroy it!

Minister of War Elihu.

Rut and Navy Secretary Meyer soon rushed to the White House, but their faces were also very ugly. On the way they came, they had already learned that China had rejected the United States' request for peace talks, which meant that

, The large-scale attack of the Chinese people will begin soon, and perhaps within one or two days, the United States will face the attack of the Chinese army, navy and air force.

No one can guarantee whether the US military can support it!

"Minister Rut, Minister Meyer, you should also know that the Chinese have rejected our request for peace and they want to continue the war. Now for the United States, there is no way out, we will continue the war except for continuing the war.

There is no way to go beyond going down! I hope the army and the navy can unite and resist the attacks that always give people!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt said sincerely!

"His Excellency the President, the Army promises to fight with all its might and resist the Chinese attack. However, although the Army still has four million troops, the morale of the troops is very low now. At the same time, a large number of deserters appear, under such circumstances

, It is difficult for us to achieve the predetermined goal! In addition, in terms of Army Aviation, our plane suffered a huge loss, "Hurricane," [type fighter is not the Chinese FB, Haidongqing, the fighter's opponent, the new "Hurricane, Pi"

Although the performance of the fighter jets is comparable to that of the Chinese FB's FB's Haidongqing, the number is too small! "Minister of War Elihu.

Rut said in a little embarrassed manner. Compared with the Chinese army, the gap between the United States is getting bigger and bigger!

"His Excellency the President, the Navy now has only a few Philadelphia-class, heavy cruisers, less than twenty, Omaha-class, light cruisers and more than fifty destroyers. There are also more than thirty submarines. We are now simply

There is no strength to confront the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet! Once the main force of the Chinese Navy goes north, our coastal cities will be within the range of Chinese artillery attacks!" Navy Minister Meyer also said!

"I know that now our military strength is far inferior to that of the Chinese. However, we have no way out! The Chinese do not accept peace talks and ask us to disarm and surrender to the Chinese unconditionally! This is something we absolutely cannot accept.

!We can only do our last efforts to fight the Chinese to the end! And we are not without a chance! Now Britain, France and Russia are in secret contact with their allies, preparing to stop the war, and the entire Western world unites to fight with the Chinese

!In this way, we have a chance!" Theodore.

President Roosevelt said!

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, I understand. The Army will do its best to fight!" Minister of War Elihu.

Rut said. Although it is unlikely to know that hope is not great, just like Theodore.

What President Roosevelt said was that they had no choice but to continue to persevere!

"Your Excellency the President, the Navy will do its best!" said Navy Secretary Meyer. This time the navy's miserable defeat caused him to be very criticized, if it weren't for Theodore.

If President Roosevelt didn't think of changing the Secretary of the Navy, he might have been pushed out to be a scapegoat long ago!

At 9 a.m. Washington time on January 12, US President Theodore.

Roosevelt delivered a radio speech: "Citizens of the United States of America, it has now reached the most critical moment for the United States. Although our army has been defeated so far, the United States has not been completely defeated! The United States hopes for peace, and we are going to the Chinese.

The request for peace was made, but the Chinese rudely rejected our request for peace. They asked us to disarm, surrender unconditionally to them, and accept their enslavement, just as they enslaved the local indigenous people in Southeast Asia! Now, the United States
Chapter completed!
