In Washington, the White House, the phone in the duty office rang frantically.

"Hey!" The officer on duty rubbed his sleepy eyes and picked up the phone.

But then, the drowsiness on his face disappeared cleanly, as if he had heard something that shocked him.

"Oh God! What the hell is going on? Are the Germans going to attack our homeland? The officer on duty looked incredulous. And immediately ran to Woodrow? President Wilson's bedroom.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Woodrow? President Wilson was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. Instead of getting angry, he put on his pajamas and opened the door.

"What's going on?" Woodrow? President Wilson asked. He knew that if it wasn't for an emergency, they wouldn't bother him at this time. And, the look on the face of the officer on duty made Woodrow? President Wilson also had a very bad feeling in his heart.

"Your Excellency the President, Boston is under attack by the German fleet. The Germans were frantically shelling Boston's harbor. Said the officer on duty.

"What? How is this possible? "Woodrow? President Wilson almost thought it was an April Fool's joke. Although, Germany and the United States have torn their faces on the issue of the Azores, but whether it is Woodrow? President Wilson, as well as other senior U.S. officials, did not think that Germany would attack their homeland. But now, the situation seems to have developed beyond their expectations.

"It's true, Your Excellency, the report from Boston that I just received." said the officer on duty. How dare he lie on this issue? If he really did that, I'm afraid he would have to leave immediately!

"What are the Germans trying to do? Are they ready to go to war with the United States of America at this time? "Woodrow? President Wilson also did not feel the slightest sleepiness, and he only felt a chill in his heart. If Germany were really ready for an all-out war with the United States at this time, what should they do?

"Immediately notify the Cabinet Secretaries, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Chief of Naval Operations to come to the White House for a meeting. Tell them that it is an emergency and that they must be at the White House in twenty minutes! "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The officer on duty immediately went to prepare.

Woodrow? President Wilson also immediately went to wash up and eat two bites of breakfast. He knew that when the meeting started later, he didn't know when it would be over.

When Woodrow? When President Wilson appeared in his office at a time, the senior military and political officials of the United States had already arrived. It's just that the expressions on everyone's faces are very solemn. Obviously, they all knew what was going on. There is no doubt that this is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for them to accept.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Germans have sent a large fleet and are attacking Boston. Everyone already knows about this, right? "Woodrow? President Wilson stared at everyone with a dark face.

Everyone nodded their heads one after another, and Secretary of the Navy Daniels was even more ashamed and angry.

"Your Excellency, I am very sorry that the Navy was not able to detect the German fleet in advance. In this matter, I am responsible. "Minister Daniels took the initiative to admit his mistake. He knows that only by taking the initiative to admit his mistakes can he be able to get off lightly.

"Well, let's not say who's responsible. The most important thing now is to find out what the Germans really mean and how to solve it. "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"Your Excellency, the Germans have chosen to attack our homeland at this juncture because they have seen a great loss of naval strength and a threat to them. However, the Germans should know that even if our navy was badly damaged, they would never be able to destroy us. We also have a strong army that can defend our country. Although Germany's military strength is very strong, because of the Atlantic barrier, it is difficult for their military power to be projected to the west coast of the Atlantic. Secretary of War Garrison said.

"But why did the Germans attack our homeland? Don't they know that if they do, we will have no choice but to go to war with them? Secretary of State Brian said.

Indeed, in the case of an attack on the homeland, if the United States has not made further statements, it will certainly make the American people very dissatisfied. The government, which has already fallen to a freezing point, may collapse because of this.

"If we declare war on Germany and the two countries are at war. Well, we will be subjected to a total blockade by the German Navy in the Atlantic. There is no doubt that now the Germans have this strength. "Chief of Naval Operations William? Admiral Benson said.

Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the office became even more ugly. You must know that maritime trade in the western Atlantic Ocean is related to the foundation of the United States. If they are blocked by the German Navy in this direction, then the United States is probably not far from decay. Even because of this, the United States will be doomed step by step. This is undoubtedly a nightmare for the United States.

"The Germans could even attack our eastern coastal cities further. Don't forget, the Germans had very powerful aircraft carriers. At least all cities within a hundred to two hundred kilometers of the west coast will probably be destroyed by the Germans. "William? Admiral Benson continued.

"No, we can't go to war with the Germans. In that case, they will be able to justify an attack on our homeland without any consideration. Treasury Secretary McAdoo said.

You know, the eastern seaboard is a land that the United States has developed. If this place is destroyed, the United States will be greatly weakened. At that time, the United States may not even be considered a second-rate power.

Woodrow? President Wilson nodded, although he was very aggrieved, he also knew that if there was a war against Germany, the next state of war would make the United States pay a greater price. In that case, it will be very disadvantageous for the United States.

"Indeed, now is not the time for war with the Germans. Our strength is still too weak, and if we go to war now, we will have no chance of winning at all. Even so, we will continue to decline because of this. The Germans, on the other hand, will be very little affected by this. When the time comes, they will get stronger and stronger. In contrast, we will be even less of a match for the Germans. ”
