By the time Secretary Bryan arrived at the White House, the Cabinet had almost arrived. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info President Woodrow? Wilson, being with Vice President Thomas? R. Marshall spoke. Obviously, people don't know much about the emergency situation in Brian's mouth.

"Mr. Brian, please be seated. What the hell is going on? President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency, the Royal Navy suffered a crushing defeat yesterday, losing more than ten capital ships. The Royal Navy is already wounded. They had fallen behind in the confrontation with the Germans. Secretary Bryan said.

"What? How is this possible? ”

"How could the Royal Navy lose to the Germans? They are the strongest navy in the world! ”

"Mr. Brian, are you not kidding? How could the Royal Navy be defeated by the Germans? "Navy Minister Josephus? Daniels asked. He has always been a little complacent about the fact that the U.S. Navy can rank third in the world. But now, the German Navy has actually completed the counterattack, which undoubtedly has greatly impacted his concept. If the Royal Navy was defeated, the German Navy would be the number one in the world. The U.S. Navy is absolutely impossible to compare with the German Navy.

"Mr. Daniels, I'm not kidding. In fact, the British ambassador has just left my office. Proud Anglo? The Saxons, having lowered their noble disclosure, begged the United States to support them, preferably to join their camp and fight against the Germans. Secretary Bryan said.

"Oh God! The world is changing too fast. Those proud Britons will bow their heads to us, don't they always think of us as nouveau riche? I really didn't expect that the British would have such a day! Vice President Marshall laughed.

The other members of the American cabinet also laughed, and the current situation of the British made them very happy.

"Gentlemen, don't laugh. The British couldn't hold it out so quickly. That might not be a good thing for the United States of America. Everyone thinks, what are we going to do next? in order to allow the United States of America to obtain the maximum benefits. President Wilson said. He has always seen the war as an opportunity to expand American influence. With the help of the world war, a large war windfall can not only raise the economy of the United States to a higher level, but also greatly weaken the strength of the European powers. In this case, the United States may take the opportunity to rise, or even replace Britain, as the world hegemon.

However, it was only a little more than a month since the war began, and the British could not hold on, which was completely unexpected by President Wilson. In this war, the strength shown by Germany seems to be too strong. If Germany wins the war, it will probably not be a good thing for the United States of America. In that case, the United States will only be able to shrink into the American continent and will no longer be able to compete for the throne of world hegemon. This is absolutely unacceptable to President Wilson.

Cabinet members, immediately shut up. As President Wilson said, the Germans won the war, and for the United States, it was not a good thing to say.

"Your Excellency, the longer this war goes on, the better it will be for us. If the European powers can fight and lose in this war, then they will have no choice but to give up the leadership of the world. In this way, we will easily gain the leadership of the world. "War Secretary Lindley? M. Garrison said.

"Of course, we want this war to last as long as possible, so that we can sell more war materials to both warring parties. Unfortunately, things don't seem to be going the way we wanted! "Minister of the Treasury, William? Gibbs? McAdoo said.

The current situation is indeed a bit tricky for the United States. They did not want to see Germany win the war, but they did not want to join the war themselves.

"Minister Daniels, if the U.S. Navy and the British Navy join forces, will we be able to defeat the Germans?" President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency, we have no knowledge of the exact strength of the German Navy. However, even the British were easily defeated. Then, it can be seen that the strength of the German Navy is undoubtedly very strong. Now, the US Navy has only ten dreadnoughts, and although four more are under construction, they will not be commissioned anytime soon. The other battleships were all former dreadnoughts. Naval battles have proven that those former dreadnoughts have long been obsolete. If we join the war, even if we join forces with the British Navy, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat the Germans, and at most it will be a draw. Minister Daniels said.

President Wilson's face suddenly did not look good. Such a result made him a little unacceptable.

"Is it true that we can't stop the Germans from winning this war?" President Wilson asked,

"Your Excellency, I think the words of the British are perhaps exaggerated. Although they lost more than a dozen capital ships, this was certainly a heavy blow to the Royal Navy. But it would be an exaggeration to say that the Royal Navy has no power to fight back at all. According to the information we have received, the Royal Navy has ten super battleships armed with 381mm guns under construction and are expected to be ready for service next year. Therefore, the Royal Navy should still have the strength to fight. Minister Daniels said.

"What do the British mean by that? In order to drag us into their camp, so deliberately deceive us? Secretary Bryan said.

"The British don't count to deceive us! I think the Germans must have been so tough that the Royal Navy had no confidence in the future war. That's why they can't wait to get our support and drag us into the war. Minister Daniels analyzed.

President Wilson nodded, believing that Secretary Daniels' analysis was still more reliable.

"Gentlemen, should we join the war now? Should you join the Entente and fight against the Allies? President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency, it would be too early to join the war now, and the situation is not yet clear. Of course, we cannot allow the Germans to win the war, but the United States of America cannot easily get involved in the war. Secretary of War Garrison stated.
