Chapter 1033: Escape from the East Coast

"The U.S. government will negotiate with Germany as soon as possible and demand that Germany stop attacking the U.S. mainland. Please believe that the U.S. government is capable of ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. "Woodrow? President Wilson said to reporters and people on the lawn in front of the White House.

"Shit! The Germans have shelled our city, the port of Boston has been completely bombed into ruins, I wonder how many Americans have died under the shelling of the Germans, but the government does not even have the courage to declare war? An American reporter who was present asked angrily.

Woodrow? President Wilson glanced at the reporter and, without saying anything, walked into the White House.

Such a hot-blooded youth is not a bad thing for the United States. However, if you don't even know your own strength, and blindly impulsively want to seek revenge on Germany, you are looking for death. After all, the Germans were not so easy to deal with. If the United States had the strength to defeat Germany, they would have chosen to declare war on Germany without anyone else saying it.

Woodrow? President Wilson's direct departure made the Americans present even more angry.

Ordinary Americans see this as a sign of government incompetence that is no longer able to defend their interests. Then, they can undoubtedly use their votes to get the government out of office. However, the real elites know that the government has no choice. Under such circumstances, if it still wants to maintain a tough attitude, it will only make the United States pay more losses. After all, the United States now does not have the capital to confront Germany at all. Blindly being tough is simply a stupid act.

In this world, after all, it is still up to the strong to decide. Germany is stronger than the United States, so it can be beaten according to Germany. And the United States has no choice but to swallow its anger in this regard.

The bombing of Boston by the German Navy spread as quickly as possible throughout the East Coast of the United States. For a while, people were panicked. The American people could not help but worry about whether their own place would become the next target of the Germans.

Although, many cities are just small cities, there is no industry, there is no naval base, there is no value in striking at all. The German Navy's attack on the US mainland this time was, after all, aimed at weakening the strength of the United States, and it was not just a blind attempt to kill people. Therefore, those small cities or cities that do not have a developed shipbuilding industry do not have to worry at all. You know, the price of the main guns and shells of the capital ship is not cheap, even if Germany is rich now, it can't be wasted.

But those ordinary people simply don't understand all this. All they know is that if they stay on the East Coast, their lives will be at risk. As a result, escaping the East Coast and escaping away from the coast has become an option for many people.

Although the U.S. government has repeatedly come forward to reassure everyone that the government has the ability to ensure their safety, the Germans will not attack their city. However, there are still a lot of people who don't trust the government. In addition, the rumors have intensified, which has made those Americans even more worried.

The East Coast is the most developed place in the United States, but in a developed place, if even the common people have fled, how can it develop? If people flee the East Coast of the United States, the American economy will be hit hard. Therefore, the U.S. government tried to reassure the people and let them stay on the East Coast.

The next day, the German Navy launched an attack on New York. However, the German Navy still did not shell the city of New York, but destroyed the port and shipyards of New York. But this is also a great concern for Americans. Even New York was destroyed, which undoubtedly proves that the communication between the government and the Germans is not smooth! In such a situation, it is natural that everyone will rush to flee the eastern seaboard.

Originally, many Americans thought that they only needed to escape more than 20 kilometers from the coast to be safe. Although, this distance was still within the range of the main guns of the capital ships of the German Navy. However, at this distance, the accuracy of the shelling will be greatly reduced. So, there was no need to worry at all that the Germans would waste shells.

However, on the third day, their view had to change. Because, on this day, the Germans launched an attack on Baltimore. Baltimore is far from the coast. In other words, Baltimore, although it was in the bay, was strategically located, and the German navy would not dare to go deep into the bay if it did not want to suffer heavy losses. So, almost no one thought Baltimore would be attacked.

On this day, the aircraft carrier fleet of the German Navy launched a bombing of Baltimore's ports and shipyards with a large number of carrier-based aircraft. Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft bombed Baltimore's ports and shipyards into ruins in less than half a day.

This kind of attack not only opened the eyes of the Americans, but also deeply shocked, and they suddenly realized that even Baltimore, which was far from the coast, was attacked by the Germans, and it seemed that they fled to a place twenty kilometers away from the coast, and there seemed to be no safety guarantee for them! If you want to be truly safe, you have to keep running away.

Looking at the attack radius of the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, they had to flee the coast for at least 200 kilometers.

As a result, a large number of Americans began to flee the East Coast of the United States with their families. Those who have money can drive a car, and those who don't can only walk. As for those public transports, that's not to think about. The U.S. government has shut down public transportation to stop people from fleeing the East Coast.

The majority of the population of the United States lives on the East Coast of the United States, which is the most developed and economically prosperous place in the United States. But if the Americans are allowed to flee the city, it will soon become a dead city. At that time, the US economy will be hit hard.

Although, Woodrow? Officials in Wilson's government have made it clear to the public that the places where they live will not be attacked. However, no one believes their nonsense anymore. Three cities have already been attacked by the Germans in quick succession, and the government's assurances are undoubtedly no longer credible at all.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, saving their lives is undoubtedly the most important thing. As for the rest, it can be put aside for the time being.

The exodus of Americans from the East Coast will not only hit the U.S. economy hard, but will also cause a host of social problems. These people need a lot of money to live. If you don't have money, you can't live, and naturally any problems will arise.
