Chapter 1039: The President Steps Down

After the Battle of the Chesapeake Bay, the U.S. Navy really didn't dare to fend off the German fleet. Although they still sent some small and medium-sized warships and seaplanes to follow the German fleet, they were far away.

Over the next week, the German fleet once again destroyed the ports and shipyards of seven cities on the east coast of the United States with a well-developed shipbuilding industry. After that, the German fleet departed.

The East Coast is the most developed and prosperous place in the United States, especially the shipbuilding industry, most of which is concentrated on the East Coast. Most of the shipyards that have the capacity to build military ships, especially capital ships or other large warships, are also located on the East Coast. Now, almost all of those shipyards were destroyed by the German fleet. It can be said that the shipbuilding strength of the United States has been weakened by more than 80 percent at once.

Originally, after the German Navy eliminated the main force of the US Navy, the German Navy's superiority in the Atlantic Ocean would be more than ten years ahead. Now, I'm afraid this advantage will be further extended to fifteen years. By that time, even if the U.S. Navy had re-established a strong fleet. However, compared with the German Navy, which is in order, the gap is probably quite large. The U.S. Navy wants to challenge the German Navy, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

It was also at this time that the strategic goals of the German Navy were almost achieved. Under such circumstances, Qin Tianzhu accidentally handed over to the minister Vahit, and he could negotiate peace with the Americans.

Of course, Germany has already taken advantage of this conflict. Therefore, Qin Tian didn't want to mention too harsh conditions. If a full-scale war broke out between the two countries, Germany would not have the strength to destroy the United States, let alone such a plan. If Germany suffers heavy losses because of the forcible destruction of the United States, this will not only be detrimental to Germany's future development, but will also give other countries opportunities. For example, Burussia, which dominates the Eastern European Plain. Although Germany now has good relations with Brahmania, Brazzaville and Russia have vigorously developed industry and transportation with the help of Germany. However, Qin Tian can guarantee that once Germany shows fatigue, Burussia will probably attack Germany immediately.

The leaders of the Buffalo and Russia are not fools, and they all know very well that maintaining good relations with Germany now is nothing more than a tiger with a tiger. Once Germany's strength grows stronger, I'm afraid the next step will be to do something against them. In order to maintain their world hegemony, the Germans will spare no effort to attack other countries. Although the strength of Buenos and Russia is not strong now, they have the potential to become a strong country. Germany would never allow such a powerful country to remain by its side all the time.

In his peace talks with US Ambassador to Germany Davidson, German Foreign Minister Wahitt only insisted that the United States make a public apology, but only raised the amount of compensation from 2 billion to 4 billion marks. Although it has doubled, it will be a heavy burden for the United States, which has now suffered heavy losses. However, it is also much better than the German fleet that has been attacking the east coast of the United States. In that case, the United States will really lose even more.

Although, this condition, put forward by the Germans, was no less harsh. However, Ambassador Davidson, having consulted the country, agreed to the Germans' terms. The United States did not want a full-scale war with Germany, let alone the continuation of the German naval attack. Therefore, accepting the conditions put forward by Germany and admitting the end of the conflict undoubtedly became the best choice.

Soon, the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding on the conflict, which put an end to the conflict.

In this conflict, Germany won a resounding victory. Not only did they hold the Azores firmly in their hands, but they also took advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the US Navy. In addition, it launched an attack on the east coast of the United States, causing the United States to pay extremely heavy losses. By the way, four billion marks were also plundered from the Americans. This money was enough to make up for all the losses of the German Navy in this attack on the American mainland, and there was still a large surplus.

According to the memorandum of understanding, the US government publicly apologized to Germany precisely after the German fleet left the east coast of the United States. They claimed that the United States had sent troops to attack the Azores to the detriment of Germany's interests, which led to this conflict, and that all the responsibility lay with the United States and had nothing to do with Germany.

This statement by the United States has caused an uproar in the international community. Everyone knows that the east coast of the United States was attacked by the German fleet, and the losses were extremely heavy. Originally, many countries believed that under such circumstances, the United States would declare war on Germany regardless of it. However, the final result made everyone unbelievable that the United States actually admitted it, and it still recognized it so thoroughly.

For a time, the United States became an international laughing stock. However, many shrewd politicians believe that the United States has made the right choice. Rather than for the sake of so-called face, a full-scale war broke out with Germany, which led to greater losses for the country. It's better to give up face and keep the inside. In this case, the best outcome for the country is the best.

Of course, Woodrow? President Wilson's remarks caused an uproar in China. The German fleet attacked the east coast of the United States, although the main targets were ports and shipyards, avoiding residential areas. However, it still caused many American casualties. The U.S. Navy, in particular, suffered heavy losses in the battle. This made the families of those officers and soldiers who were killed and wounded gritted their teeth with hatred for Germany. Now, the US government has actually bowed its head to Germany and admitted its mistakes, which is naturally difficult for them to accept.

Coupled with the encouragement of rival parties, the whole of America erupted in opposition to Woodrow? Wilson administration, asking Woodrow? The march of Wilson's ouster. For a moment, Woodrow? Wilson's approval rating dropped directly to five percent. It can be seen how disappointed those Americans are in him. This makes Woodrow? It is almost impossible for President Wilson to remain in the presidency.

In such a situation, Woodrow? President Wilson voluntarily resigned from the presidency. However, because his term of office has not yet ended, according to the U.S. Constitution, the vice president takes over the presidency. Wait until the end of this term of office before holding a general election. However, it is clear that although the next general election has not yet begun, judging by the current level of support, Woodrow? President Wilson's party undoubtedly has no chance of winning the election.
