The US Pacific Fleet is rushing to the Atlantic, and a bad news has reached Washington, Panama City has been lost!

The coalition forces lurking in Colombia still attacked, and in the face of the coalition attack, the defenders of Panama were completely powerless, and the Americans paid a terrible price for their contempt for the army at this time.

After the news came back to Washington, the US government wailed that this time it was miserable, and the navy, which had been divided into two, had no strength to fight at all.

However, the Admiralty did not say anything, as if everything was expected, and only those who knew the inside knew that the main forces of the Pacific Fleet had already arrived in the Atlantic, and the rest was just a cover.

The purpose is still for political correctness, and the people cannot find out that the government has abandoned the West Coast before the war has even begun, otherwise with the fierce personality of the American people, the riot is only a small problem, and the most troublesome thing is that the people surrender in anger!

This kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the United States, as long as the government dares to give up, they dare to surrender and desperately resist that very bad American!

Bad news is always one after another, on January 25, 1921, the Hawaiian War broke out, this time there was no sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, in the face of the menacing coalition forces, the U.S. Navy did not send a fleet to send a fleet to death!

The two sides fought fiercely over the Hawaiian Islands, and the isolated American army was forced to surrender after five days of struggling to resist the coalition attack, and the United States lost its gateway to the Pacific!

And the progress of the Atlantic Fleet on the other side is not so smooth, the main forces of the US Navy are here, and the coalition forces do not know where to speak!

A decisive battle is impossible to fight, the US Navy is hiding in Charleston and Kings Bay, and it will not come out at all, as long as the coalition forces are divided, they will immediately become active again, and the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, Thomas, is almost worried.

As a last resort, the coalition forces can only cover the landing of the army first, anyway, if the US Navy wants to protect the Atlantic, it must sacrifice the defense of the Pacific, and if either side loses, they may lose the war.

In this era, Canada is not very well developed, providing logistics for hundreds of thousands of troops, which is almost their limit, and if you have more, you will be ready to go hungry!

On February 5, 1921, the flames of war raged in the Great Lakes region, and the Canadian Army, with the support of the Coalition forces, stabbed the industrial heart of the United States.

As soon as the war began, the coalition air force launched air strikes on the Great Lakes industrial area. In the Atlantic Theater, the commander of the Allied Navy was British, the army commander was French, and the air force commander was naturally Bulgarian, which can be regarded as the acquiescence of the three countries to their respective fields.

Influenced by Ferdinand's ideas, the Bulgarian Air Force had a penchant for incendiary shells, and every time they bombed important enemy facilities, they always habitually threw them over, and the effect was very good.

This time was no exception, the first time they encountered an air raid, even if they had been prepared, the Americans still fell into a panic. Because the firefighting facilities were not perfect, they had to rely on manpower to fight the fire, and the workers in the panic could not organize themselves in the short term, the first appearance of the Air Force surprised the Americans!

On the first day of the battle, the US air force deployed in the Great Lakes region suffered a fatal blow, and nearly one-third of the planes were directly destroyed!

Due to the failure of air defense, in just one week, the production capacity of the Great Lakes industrial zone in the United States fell by two-thirds, and people were panicked, because they were afraid of the enemy in the sky, and the workers could not produce with peace of mind!

At the same time, the Pacific theater changed again, the coalition forces landed in the San Francisco area, and the calm on the west coast of the United States was broken.

Affected by this, the Mexican government, which had been suppressed by the Americans for a long time, also summoned up the courage to attack the southern part of the United States again with the support of the coalition forces!

……

Receiving the battle report from the front, Ferdinand did not say anything, he knew that it was time for the governments to go out immediately, and a strong fortress is often broken from the inside, and the current United States is this fortress!

It would not be possible to end the war in a short period of time if all the states resisted desperately, and everyone within the coalition did not want the war to continue forever.

Then negotiation is a good option, and not yet with the central government of the United States, but with the governments of the states!

For example, in states with a predominantly Dutch origin, let the Dutch government come forward to negotiate with them; The predominantly Hispanic states made the Kingdom of Spain good.

Coercion and temptation are as long as they are bluffed anyway, and there is no need for them to rebel directly, as long as they declare their neutrality in this war!

Sacramento, the capital of California, is now in the midst of a fierce quarrel, and the fighting has reached the doorstep, and many people hope that the state government can declare neutrality for their own interests and prevent the war from going deeper.

Naturally, there is a shadow of foreign power behind this, such as the Spaniards, who have the largest proportion of the population, are affected by their home country, and as long as they remain neutral in the war, then the war will not destroy their homeland!

Countries also come to the Americas to reap benefits, not to turn this place into a ruin.

Especially in the coastal cities, San Francisco, in the case of those who really don't want war to break out in their hometown, as for the defense of the federal government, does that have anything to do with them?

With the political system of the United States, even if the federal government shuts down, they can still operate on their own, and everyone's life is still the same, and there is no need to work for an illusory federation!

……

On February 15, 1921, the U.S. state of Texas declared its independence, kicking off the division of the United States, followed by Arisa on February 18, which also declared its independence!

Well, both of these are regulars in the fight for independence, and they will not stop in the 21st century, and now that the opportunity has come, how can they give up?

If the United States continues to be strong, they will have to think twice, and now they can't see the future of the United States, then it is better to follow the will of the people, and most of the people support the two independent states, and take the first step with the support of the League of Nations!

On February 22, 1921, the war-torn state of California announced its withdrawal from the war, maintaining its neutrality and signing an armistice treaty with the Allied forces, following the independence of Texas and Arisca, another large state withdrew from the war.

And that's not all, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which is about to burn its eyebrows, voted in Boston on February 25, and the Massachusetts Commonwealth Legislature declared neutrality in the war.

Then the tide of neutrality could no longer be stopped, and on February 28, 1921, the states of Oregon and Nevada on the west coast of the United States declared neutrality on the same day!

Immediately after, Arizona, New Mexico, Minnesota, Maine, and Michigan declared independence, and the wave of neutrality broke out in full swing.

By the end of March 1921, more than half of the states of the United States of America had declared neutrality, and oddly enough, they had declared neutral states in the event of war, forbidding American troops to enter, but allowing Allied forces to cross the border!

The Wilson administration was in a very awkward position, basically as soon as the League of Nations troops hit that state, it would not be long before the state announced its withdrawal from the war!

Resist? Why resist? Fighting a war is to kill people, why don't other states resist, so let us go to death?

As for asking for help from the central government? Are they really idiots? As soon as the war is fought, their hometown will be in ruins, and precious lives will be lost!

Win? It's impossible to win! The Americans of this era do not have the self-confidence of later generations, and even later generations do not have the arrogance that they can really single out the whole world!

In the White House in Washington, Wilson is no longer in the mood to get angry, don't look at the declaration of neutrality by these states, it's remarkable, according to the U.S. Constitution, people even have the right to withdraw from the federal independence, but the central government still has some strength in the past, which can suppress all this happening!

Now, of course, no, the War Department has not sent troops to the front, but it is a pity that it is the excellent performance of these armies that has caused the state governments to lose confidence!

They are all real warriors, but unfortunately they have not achieved any results except for sending wave after wave of heads, and no one can be blamed for this.

A few years ago, they were all workers, peasants, gangsters, criminals, and then they were forced to take up arms to defend their families and the country.

Just look at their officers, for example, in the Battle of San Francisco, the commander of the Seventh Army, a few months ago, he was only a commander of the American Army, and from commanding 2,000 troops to commanding more than 300,000 troops, he spent a few hours!

This is not an exception, the entire US military is everywhere, and now the battalion-level officers in the US military units were all big-headed soldiers a few months ago, and some even enlisted for less than a year!

A group of rookie officers, with a group of rabble, has no ability to fight, and the ability to harm the local area is not low!

Robbery, murder, rape, these are all pediatrics, if you find out that a bank has been robbed somewhere, don't be surprised, the murderers are most likely in the US Army!

Ever since someone came up with the idea of sending criminals, gangsters, and ruffians into this army, the thing of military discipline no longer exists!

Military judges? Where to find so many professionals in such a short period of time? Doesn't it take time to rectify military discipline?

In the face of such an army, the state governments naturally stayed away, and many regions regarded the US Army as a plague god, and when they crossed the border, the state government also sent militia to see them off!

It can be said that since the completion of the expansion of the US Army, the security in all states in the United States has improved a lot, and the corresponding law and order near the US Army station has deteriorated sharply, the crime rate has increased dozens of times, and many people have even chosen to move directly!

Wilson asked coldly: "Have the domestic conglomerates reached a compromise with the enemy?" ”

No one answered him, and now they are all outcasts, and when things get to the point where scapegoats are always needed, they are the best choice!

Everyone is not stupid, naturally they have to find a way back, patriots may have, but for a creature like a politician, interests always come first!

Seeing that no one answered, Wilson sneered and said, "It's all in this situation, what dare you not say!" The real enemy of the United States of America has never been abroad, foreign enemies cannot destroy this country, and the real enemy that can destroy this country is always within us!

Do they think that if they declare neutrality now, the enemy will let them go? This is also naïve! Without enough benefits, it is impossible for our enemies to stop this time!

When the country is destroyed, the good days of the consortium will be over, and there will be no state-backed consortium, just a fat sheep in the eyes of others! ”

Everyone understands the truth, but the problem is that it is not a big deal to compromise with the enemy now and lose wealth; If you support the federal government, it will not only be money that will be lost, but if you don't get the hat of the virus in the end, everyone will not even be able to save their lives, no wonder everyone has to choose this way!

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "Mr. President, it's useless to say that now, we have failed this time anyway."

Rather than this, it is better to give it a go, concentrate all the main forces of our army, and fight a decisive battle with the enemy's landing force, and if we win, we can negotiate terms with the enemy, and if we lose, we will rest! ”

I am not a fool who is doing it, I know that Rice's proposal is definitely not as simple as it seems, and now the Pacific Coalition of the League of Nations is advancing vigorously, and the Atlantic Fleet does not dare to let go of the attack because of the losses of the navy of various countries, and it has not achieved decent results until now!

This is unacceptable for the countries involved in the Atlantic Alliance, if there is no opportunity, then there is only the creation of opportunities!

For example: divert the main forces of the US army from the east coast to facilitate their attack.

Once the main force of the US Army leaves, the Atlantic Coalition can use political means to disintegrate the eastern defense line of the Americans, don't look at the eastern states have not yet made a fuss, and think that they are supporting the Union, but everyone is afraid of the local garrison and does not dare to take risks!

They know what they know, but now they don't have a choice, right? If you don't gamble again, the further back you go, the more states that withdraw from the war, the less chance you have!

Then the strength behind the agitation of Rice is about to come out, and it must be rewarding to be able to make the Secretary of State take the risk of proposing, there are not many countries that can keep them after the war, and there are only three in the Atlantic Fleet - Britain, France, and Bulgaria!

The British may not care, the Pacific Fleet is still dominated by them, but Bulgaria and France are different, most of their investment is in the Atlantic Fleet, if there is no result, I am afraid it will be troublesome to divide the interests after the war!

Everyone turned their eyes to Secretary of State Rice, and saw that his scalp was numb, and the meaning was very obvious, either take us with us, or everyone will finish together!

Secretary of State Rice nodded slightly, said that it was no problem, and then returned to normal, Wilson, who was depressed by the blow, had not yet found the person underneath, and had already reached a deal behind his back!
