On the other side of the ocean, the United States and the British government in exile in Canada were equally concerned about the war between Germany and Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary withdrew from the Central Powers and made enemies with Germany, which was originally planned by the Americans. For this, they paid a loan of $200 million. However, the $200 million loan is nothing compared to the proceeds.

If Germany had suffered heavy losses in Austria-Hungary, the United States would never have been stingy even if it had paid more money.

Woodrow? President Wilson stayed in his office all day, waiting for news from Europe.

"Gentlemen, if a great war breaks out between the Germans and Austria-Hungary, with the size of their forces, it will probably be a war of great proportions involving millions of people. All of Europe will be smashed by them! "Woodrow? President Wilson said with great interest.

It is very difficult for the New World to replace the Old World. After all, compared to the New World, which had only begun to develop for two hundred years, the Old World had developed very strongly. Unless the Old World is completely destroyed by years of war, there is little chance that the New World will replace the Old World. Woodrow? President Wilson has undoubtedly been looking forward to the outbreak of such a war.

Originally, the First World War was supposed to be an opportunity for the United States. Unfortunately, Germany's performance in this war was so amazing. It only took one year to establish the victory. A year and a half later, Germany had almost won the war.

It is true that the war caused great damage to Europe. However, only Belgium, northern France and the British Isles were destroyed. Elsewhere on the continent, the damage was very minor. This has not affected the overall strength of Europe too much. This makes Europe's strength still far stronger than that of the Americas.

Germany's industrial output lags behind that of the United States. However, after acquiring the whole of Belgium and most of France, Germany's industrial output was no less than that of the United States. Coupled with the huge territory and colonies that Germany had acquired during the war, it was only a matter of time before it surpassed the United States. This has created a serious sense of crisis on the part of the United States.

It is precisely because of this that the Americans did everything possible to provoke Austria-Hungary, hoping to break out a large-scale war in the hinterland of Europe again. The longer the war is fought, the worse it is fought, and the greater the losses, the more beneficial it will be to the United States!

"Your Excellency, it would be interesting if Austria-Hungary broke out with all its strength and fought desperately with the Germans!" Secretary of War Garrison said.

"Karl I was a very stubborn and conceited man, and he would never allow his army to fail to defeat the Germans. Still, I think we should give Austria-Hungary hope. In this way, Karl I was able to hold on. Secretary of State Brian said.

Woodrow? President Wilson nodded: "Send a telegram to Austria-Hungary to tell them that our army has begun to mobilize and will soon be ready to leave for Europe." Our fleet is also about to go to sea! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Brian nodded. He knew that this was nothing more than deceiving Austria-Hungary. If the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Karl I had not been given hope, the battle would not have been so fierce.

"Your Excellency, the fleet is ready to go to sea at any time. However, what should we do if we encounter the fleet of the Germans in the Atlantic? Secretary of the Navy Daniels asked.

The current US Navy is inferior to the German Navy. But the strength is also not weak. Beginning in 1914, the US Navy's large-scale shipbuilding program began. For two and a half years, the first warships have been commissioned. Subsequent warships, which will also be commissioned in the coming years. This will make the U.S. Navy even stronger.

"If our navy encounters the Atlantic fleet of the Germans, will it be able to eat them?" Woodrow? President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency, if it were only the Atlantic Fleet of the Germans, it would be perfectly fine to eat from them. Our Navy now has two 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships, three 'New Mexico-class' battleships, two 'Tennessee-class' battleships and four 'Colorado-class' battleships. Among them, the seven battleships of the first three stages were equipped with 12 356 mm guns, and the four 'Colorado class' battleships were equipped with 406 mm guns. In the event of an encounter with the German Atlantic fleet, we could have eaten them! Minister Daniels said confidently.

Although the number of capital ships of the US Navy is small, each of them is very powerful. In particular, the four 'Colorado-class' battleships that have just been put into service have adopted 406 mm main guns with the help of the British, and their power is very amazing.

"In that case, let the fleet go. However, without receiving an order, it is not allowed to open fire without permission. Unless, the Germans attack first. "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Minister Daniels immediately went to give the order.

Since the last world war, the U.S. Navy was directly forced back by the German Navy, which made the U.S. Navy ashamed. They all hope that this will one day be a shame.

Now, it almost seems to have come.

"Your Excellency, a telegram from the Embassy in Austria-Hungary." The secretary hurriedly walked in.

Woodrow? President Wilson immediately took the telegram from his secretary and read it. However, his face soon became very ugly. The ministers of the US Cabinet immediately realized that the situation in Europe was not going well, and that everything was not going in the direction they expected.

"Your Excellency, what's going on?" Secretary of State Brian asked.

The other cabinet ministers were staring at Woodrow? President Wilson. They also want to know, what exactly makes Woodrow? President Wilson was so out of shape.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I'm a little out of shape. It's really the news he got that made him so angry! "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"I have to admit that the allies we chose this time are completely muddy and can't hold up the wall. Those fools of Austria-Hungary behaved really badly. Karl I couldn't even control the states under his command, and he dared to be hostile to Germany, and he was clamoring to defeat Germany, I really don't know where he got the courage from! "Woodrow? President Wilson said angrily. He suddenly had the feeling of fooling others but fooling himself into the ditch.
