For the sake of confidentiality, the news of the victory of the Zhengzhou Fleet in the South China Sea was not announced to the public, because they also wanted to make the confused Americans scramble to attract the Australian fleet and the Hawaiian fleet to come for a decisive battle. At this time, the Zhenzhou fleet was the first The fleet has formed a large fleet of more than 60 ships and set off in a mighty manner. Their destinations are the Subic Military Port in the Philippines and the Darwin Military Port in Australia in the South China Sea.
Soon it was five o'clock on October 2, and Robert, anxiously wandering around Darwin's Pacific Command, was still waiting for news about his beloved Hawaiian fleet.
"No, it's already this time. The Hawaiian Fleet should have already contacted us. They are obviously in trouble?" A bead of sweat oozed out from under the white hair on Robert's temples, and he felt very hot with anxiety.
The headquarters staff officer in his early forties was drinking Australian herbal tea while fighting. This tea is originally a specialty of the Australian indigenous people. After the Australians invaded here, they learned to grow this indigenous tea. The taste is not bad, but better than the tea produced in China. It's a bit bitter and has an original and natural taste.
"Could it be that the Hawaiian Fleet encountered the Chinese South China Sea Fleet and fought with them? Perhaps they have escaped from the central Pacific Ocean and are on their way back to the United States in spite of the Chinese?" the officer said thoughtfully. .
"Anyway, if we can't contact you again tonight, we will order the Australian fleet and the Philippine fleet not to rely on them, and let the two fleets retreat to the United States as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Chinese will march straight into the U.S. coastline and carry out attacks on our territorial waters. We will suffer a lot from the bombing." Robert took a few steps back and forth and said with a gloomy expression.
The staff officer frowned slightly, immediately put down the tea cup with handle in his hand, turned his head suddenly and looked at Robert and said, are you saying that the Chinese will attack the United States? "Don't skip words.
"Yes, there is a possibility that we attacked their naval port in Sanya, Hainan, which means we attacked their homeland. The Chinese will probably follow the same pattern and go to the US coastline to attack our homeland in retaliation for the United States." Robert was thinking about it. While saying.
"Will the Chinese directly capture the Hawaii military port and then use Hawaii as a springboard to threaten the U.S. mainland?" The staff officer's small eyes started to move like a mouse.
"Hawaii should be their first target. If the Hawaiian fleet is gone or suffers heavy losses in a possible conflict with the South China Sea Fleet, then the Chinese will definitely move closer to Hawaii, but they will continue Looking for a decisive battle between the Australian fleet and the Philippine fleet, we will never let these two fleets return home easily." Robert continued to say worriedly.
"So the commander thinks we should send General Edel to lead a team to defend Hawaii?" the staff officer continued to ask.
"I am also troubled by this thorny issue. If we don't defend Hawaii, it will be equivalent to handing over the US land to others. This is a shame that the American people will not agree to accept. If we go, then the danger we face will be If it gets bigger, the Pacific Fleet is in danger of being annihilated." Robert did not dare to be careless, shook his head and sighed.
"Commander, what do you think we should do?"
Robert did not answer the staff officer's words. He stood silent and lost in thought. This issue is indeed difficult to decide, because if he does not take a step, the United States will fall into a very passive situation, and even the United States will be severely affected. Big threat.
"Now we can only let President Wilson and the Department of Defense decide this matter. If they ask us to do our best to defend Hawaii, we must be mentally prepared, because we are not very sure of winning this battle and can only leave it to fate. "Robert uses five aircraft carriers to defend Hawaii. What will be the consequences? Even if he can fight to the death, there will not be much left in the Pacific Fleet. He is already prepared to sacrifice his life for the country.
The staff officer nodded silently, his expression not improving at all, and the two fell into silence.
On the streets of Pennsylvania, Washington State, USA, stands a house painted with a dazzling white exterior, which looks particularly conspicuous and grand. The house is surrounded by a large area of ??vegetation and gardens. The large green area makes this shiny house The building is wrapped in the middle. The grand, elegant layout and vast area make it easy to guess at a glance that the owner of this house is by no means an ordinary person.
This is the most famous building in the United States, the White House. The so-called White House is just that the outer wall is painted white. The White House was not white before the second Anglo-American War. It was because after the British occupied Washington, the British army set fire to the U.S. Capitol and the Presidential Palace. The Presidential Palace became an empty skeleton. After the war, the Americans restored the Presidential Palace. As soon as it was new, in order to cover up the traces of the fire, it was renovated in the main building.A layer of white paint was painted on the exterior wall of the White House, and later it was given the title of the White House, which became the endorsement of the U.S. government and the presidential palace.
The White House is where the President of the United States and his family live, and it is also where the President works. At this time, its owner is Wilson, the 28th President of the United States.
Wilson, who is over sixty years old, has a tall and burly figure according to Western standards, a tall and straight nose bridge, a fair face, and a hint of fortitude in his elegance. At this time, he was quietly waiting in the Presidential Palace for the Pacific front. In response, all previous signs seemed to indicate that what he was waiting for was not exciting good news, but news that was likely to make the president who was proud of the United States heartache. This was Wilson's premonition that made him feel Very uneasy. As the supreme leader of the United States and the supreme commander of the U.S. military, he was more anxious and annoyed than Robert.
Since the Second American-British War ended on American soil in 1815 and the United States gained complete independence, the Americans began to establish a new military strategy and defense system, allowing them to gradually catch up with Europe. As early as 1 In 1880, the GDP of the United States surpassed that of China, a great power in China. By about 1885, the United States had become the world's largest industrial power.
However, it was only after the end of World War I that the military and technological strength of the United States truly caught up with Europe. During World War I, the United States' aircraft manufacturing capabilities were not as good as those of Europe. However, historical changes made the United States prepare for war in advance and start the war early. The research work on aircraft and aircraft carriers has enabled them to become a major country with aircraft carriers and aircraft earlier than in history. It is precisely because of the rise of China that the United States has been forced to join the arms race. They feel the crisis is coming and dare not continue to do so. Far away, Americans enjoyed their peaceful pastoral life alone, but realized that the world would no longer allow Americans to enjoy peace and that they would have to join the war.
The Americans' decision-making was correct. Their intervention in the two world wars completely changed the world structure. Otherwise, the number one power in the 21st century would not be the United States. It might be Germany, which has occupied the entire Europe, or it might be Germany. With Japan losing half of Asia, it will be difficult for the United States to maintain its position.
Although history has changed, Americans are still clearly aware that if they do not join this world war, the post-war pattern will hardly be in line with the national interests of the United States. The war will most likely lead to an occupation of Europe or Asia. The birth of a powerful country with a large territory. The emergence of one or more powerful countries will pose a great threat to the United States. Their comfortable and peaceful life will be completely broken. They may become the object of ravage and domination by a big country. These are all problems of the United States. People don't want to see the facts, so they have to join the war. Therefore, they have become a huge obstacle to China's rise and a barrier that the new China must overcome.
Wilson sat on a dark red wooden chair, which is made of sandalwood produced in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is hard and durable. A cold wave came from the bottom up, allowing him to relieve part of the boredom caused by the heat.
Wilson, who was deep in thought, gradually showed a hint of uneasiness on his calm face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The exertion of the past few days also made him feel a little tired, and his whole body felt quite uncomfortable. In order to relieve this tension and depression, He took out a classic brown cigarette case from his pocket and twisted a thick cigarette from it.
After Wilson lit a Cuban coffee-colored cigar with a Chinese-made Zhenhua lighter, he began to puff slowly. Soon, the entire presidential office began to be filled with a thick smell of smoke. Wilson was immersed in I was quite enjoying the smell, playing with the small and exquisite lighter made in China.
After pondering for a long time, Wilson suddenly thought of it, so he moved the handle of the chair and turned it so that his body was facing the desk. Then he reached out and picked up the phone on the desk. After shaking it vigorously, he turned the keys of the Ministry of National Defense one by one. number.
"Let Carter come to my office." Wilson said to the young operator on the other end.
"Yes, President Wilson." The operator responded politely and respectfully.
After hanging up, Wilson began to stand up, holding a cigar in his mouth and pacing back and forth in the room. The sound of clattering footsteps sounded from time to time. Sometimes he looked at the sky outside the window, sometimes he lowered his head in thought, shook his head and nodded, and soon slowly Several dozen minutes passed.
"Dong dong dong." Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Come in" Wilson, who was walking towards the window, heard a knock on the door and immediately stopped, turned around and shouted to the door.
After a creak, the office door was pushed open, and a man in his early fifties walked in. He was round, strong, and very tall. At first glance, he reminded people of American boxing. A heavy hitter in the world.
The man pushed out the beerThe wine belly is as sexy as a ball and a bit funny. There is a pair of rather large black-rimmed glasses on the high bridge of the nose. His eyes look as sharp as a falcon, and his body is also very strong and tough, giving him the air of a tough guy. style.
"President, do you have a problem with me?" Don't skip words. The man walked a few steps to the window. Wilson had turned back and stood on the window, looking at the sky in the distance.
Wilson turned his head slightly to look at the man, a look of disappointment gradually appeared on his face, because he did not find the slightest sense of security he wanted in the man's eyes. It was obvious that the man did not show any intention of coming with good news. sign.
The visitor is Carter, the new U.S. Secretary of Defense.
"There's still no news from the Hawaiian fleet, right?" Wilson saw some clues from Carter's slightly frowned brows. Something was not going well as it seemed to be written on his face, and he asked immediately.
"It stands to reason that the Hawaiian Fleet should have been in contact with the Pacific Command a long time ago. Why is it very worrying that they have not been in contact with Robert?" Carter's face looked slightly gloomy, and an ominous premonition emerged in his mind, and he spoke slowly said.
"Have the Chinese released any news?" Wilson still had some illusions about the Hawaiian fleet, and asked a little eagerly.
"No, the Chinese seem to be deliberately hiding it. Even where their South China Sea Fleet has gone, they haven't mentioned a word, but even a fool understands where they are going." Carter shook his head and said.
"In my opinion, the Hawaiian fleet is in danger. The president should be prepared for the next step. We can no longer have the illusion that the Hawaiian fleet still exists. That will be very detrimental to our further decision-making." Carter said solemnly suggested.
Wilson pondered slightly and nodded. If the Hawaiian fleet can escape the Chinese attack, they should also get in touch with our reconnaissance ship. However, we have not received any information so far. It seems that they must be in the Pacific. The central region encountered the South China Sea Fleet, and then the two sides encountered a battle. The result of this battle should be that the Hawaiian Fleet was destroyed. "
"Or maybe they still have some remaining ships that fled to waters that the Chinese can't track, and temporarily lost contact with us. But overall, their combat effectiveness should have been basically destroyed, and the Chinese losses have not been reduced. Easy to talk about." After a slight pause, Wilson continued.
"If the Hawaiian fleet can cause certain losses to the Chinese and cause them to lose one or two aircraft carriers, then even if they are sunk or seriously injured, it will still be worth it." At this point, Carter's face showed a trace of hope. color.
Wilson shook his head and said that this possibility was probably unlikely, because the Chinese's four aircraft carriers abandoned their Hainan base in order to attack the Hawaiian fleet. From the current point of view, they obviously had a premeditated plan. , the previous actions of following and threatening the Edel fleet were probably a feint, but Robert did not notice this and mistakenly chose to launch an air attack on Hainan. However, the Chinese had already entered the vast Pacific Ocean and were tracking us. The Hawaiian fleet went. "
"They were obviously well prepared. I even suspected that this was all a big conspiracy directed by the Chinese. They used the threat of force to coerce the U.S. military into war, and then they naturally became a righteous force against the invaders and eliminated them. The Hawaiian Fleet has become their duty to defend themselves, and they have already grasped the movements of the Hawaiian Fleet and are rushing towards them like hungry wolves." Wilson continued.
"The Chinese people's strategic decision-making ability seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Is this still the country that was closed and backward, arrogant and did not understand the general world, and lacked far-sighted decision-makers? Their decision-makers have obviously achieved extraordinary results. With their wisdom and vision, they have grasped the future trends of the world extremely accurately. They seem to have an insight into the United States' participation in the war. Everything is under their control. This kind of super control ability is really terrifying." Carter revealed With a look of disbelief, he exhaled.
"Could it be that their decision-maker, the young man named Li Tiancheng, is really an alien superman whose wisdom is close to that of a demon and unmatched by humans? I heard that as early as 1913, he had He released news to the outside world, claiming that he saw signs of imminent chaos in the world, and warned the country to step up preparations for war. As a result, the Sarajevo incident broke out in Europe the next year. It is not an exaggeration to call this man a god." Wilson He said with great emotion.
"A 28-year-old young man can so accurately grasp the future development of the world. This person is really extraordinary. He is still so young. His wisdom really makes people worry. Will the United States in the future be able to compete with this young man?" Can it compete with Great China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China?" Don't skip the words. Carter couldn't help but sigh.
¡°I really don¡¯t dare to do thisWhere exactly is the young man's goal? Does he want to"
"want to?"
"I can't say clearly what kind of impact a young man with magical power can have on this world. Maybe this impact is unprecedented and unparalleled. Maybe he can really change the destiny of all mankind and make the world It is developing in another direction that should not be developed. Thinking of this person, I feel a suffocating feeling that makes me breathless. He reminds me of a person in the Bible, Satan." Wilson's expression recovered a bit. Very calm and said calmly.
"Devil, this person can be compared to the devil. He is using his super power to make the whole world move forward according to his preset trajectory. It is really terrifying." Carter's face became even more gloomy.
"Currently, there is only one person who has the ability to stop this devil from making trouble, and that is the powerful United States. Only we are worthy of fighting this devil, and we must continue to fight and cannot be deterred by the devil's temporary strength. There is still hope for the United States. As long as our homeland remains, our world's strongest industrial system remains, and our huge fiscal balance remains, we will still have the capital to fight this Eastern devil." Wilson's expression changed. He became more and more determined. Although he felt that New China under the leadership of Li Tiancheng was extremely powerful and developing at a speed that ordinary people could not imagine, he had no intention of giving up.
