By the time the naval battle between the American fleet and the German Navy in the Azores came to an end, it was already late at night in Washington. However, the presidential office in the White House is still brightly lit. President Woodrow? Wilson, Secretary of State Brian, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Secretary of War Harrison, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and others, gathered here.

Henry? Admiral Mayo had already reported to the country before he led the fleet to prepare for an attack on the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy. Minister Daniels, approved his battle plan. At the same time, the U.S. Department of the Navy will also Henry? Admiral Mayo's attack was seen as a crucial battle to turn the tide and defeat the German Navy. He was even optimistic that if the US fleet could destroy the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet unscathed, and then inflict heavy damage or even total annihilation of the German Navy's home fleet at a relatively small cost, then the naval forces of the two countries would undergo a fundamental change.

Although, the German Navy still had three fleets with more than twenty capital ships. However, for the German Navy to be distributed around the world, the western Pacific alone requires Germany to commit several capital ships. As the island's navy grows stronger, Germany will devote more to it. In this way, the United States will be able to gain an advantage in the Atlantic.

However, this has always been Minister Daniels' optimistic analysis. In fact, the battle will definitely not go as smoothly as he says. If the German Navy had been so unbeaten, then it would have been impossible for them to defeat the British Royal Navy and dominate the world.

"Your Excellency, Gentlemen. A naval battle often takes a day or even more to determine the winner. So, I'm afraid we'll have to climb it for a while. I know that the German Navy is strong, but our Navy is not the same as before. This time, we still have a fair chance of winning. After all, we have 11 capital ships, four of which are armed with 406-mm guns. Minister Daniels said as he saw that the atmosphere in the office was a little solemn.

Minister Garrison nodded, "The Germans are strong, but we're not weak either. And their luck won't always be so good. God won't always be on their side. ”

"Yes, gentlemen, I am very glad that you have the confidence to defeat the Germans. I am also convinced that our brave lads will be able to defeat the Germans. The world of the future will definitely not be dominated by the Germans. "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"If we can defeat the Germans this time, it will undoubtedly give hope to other countries. When the time comes, more countries will join in the fight against the Germans. In the future, the evil Germans will definitely be defeated! Brian said.

At present, the international community, forced by Germany's powerful military power, except for a limited number of countries, other countries simply do not have the courage to confront Germany. But if the U.S. Navy can defeat the German Navy, it will undoubtedly open a new door for them. When the time comes, more countries will surely join it. In that case, no matter how strong Germany is, it will only fail in the end.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became less solemn. They are all optimistic that this time the US Navy has undoubtedly won the chance, and it seems that it is not small. In this case, it will undoubtedly be the best outcome for the United States.

"Report! Urgent war report! Suddenly, a voice rang out outside the office.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn again. The previous optimism is gone. After all, this is almost related to the national fortunes of the United States, how can they not be nervous?

"How's it going?" Woodrow? President Wilson's voice trembled a little.

"Total ...... Your Excellency the President, we have failed! The officer said.

These high-ranking American officials in the office sat back on the sofa in complete decadence, and their faces were full of end and disappointment. Minister Daniels, in particular, was even more pale. Before, he kept saying that the US Navy had hope of winning. But now, once again, I was slapped in the face.

A few minutes later, Woodrow? President Wilson spoke.

"What's going on?" Woodrow? President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency, this is all a trap for us by the Germans. Henry? Admiral Mayo led the fleet to prepare for an attack on the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy, however, it was besieged by carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carriers of the German Navy. Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft, flooding our fleet with bombs and torpedoes. Half of the capital ships were sunk, and the rest of the capital ships were mostly damaged. The Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy took advantage of the situation to attack. As a result, all of our capital ships were damaged, and most of the other warships of various types were sunk. The officer said with a sad face.

"Oh God! The Germans actually dispatched their aircraft carriers, no wonder we lost so badly this time. Secretary Garrison said.

The aircraft carriers of the German Navy showed no weakness in the last world war. It's just that in the later battle in which the German Navy completely annihilated the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the aircraft carrier did not show up. Now it seems that the aircraft carriers of the German Navy are clearly much more powerful.

Minister Daniels' face was defeated, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion.

"Your Excellency, it was our negligence to pay attention to the actions of the aircraft carriers of the Germans, which led to this defeat. I am willing to resign from the post of Minister of the Navy. Minister Daniels said.

Woodrow? President Wilson shook his head: "Minister Daniels, it's not your fault. Since the Germans dispatched their aircraft carriers, it means that they are determined to win this battle. No matter how careful we are, this time we will definitely fail. It's just that the loss may not be so big. ”

Indeed, as Woodrow? As President Wilson said, Germany dispatched aircraft carriers, which also showed Germany's determination. No matter how hard the US fleet tries, it is simply impossible to win a victory with such a large gap in strength. At most, reduce some losses.

Woodrow? President Wilson was very depressed, and this heavy loss made the US Navy poor and white again.
