At this time, there were only ten minutes before the Hainan army launched a general attack on Ganghwa Island and Seoul. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoRainbow, with you all the way.. Chen Zhong asked: "General Chen Fangzheng, does the US fleet have any reaction?" ”

"My lord, the U.S. fleet is still docked in the Yellow Sea twenty nautical miles from Incheon, and it seems that they are still waiting for orders from President Theodore Roosevelt."

"Well, the king knows. Order your Bohai Fleet to line up for battle, aim all its guns at the U.S. Far East Fleet, and resolutely shell them as long as they continue to get close to our combat area!

In addition, the Hainan Fleet was ordered to continue to approach the Yellow Sea area, set up a battle array behind the US fleet, and aim its guns at them.

If the US military dares to intervene in our military's military operations, then our Hainan fleet will resolutely wipe out the US Pacific Far East Fleet, and if it wants to fight, it will completely defeat them without leaving a single warship behind. Let the Americans always remember that if you want to take care of the idle affairs of our Hainan army, you must first see that you have enough weight! ”

At this time, the signal corpsman came to report: "Lord Wang, General Chen, our Hainan fleet has arrived at the designated position in the Yellow Sea area, and the five Jumbo-class battleships are also in place. ”

Chen Zhong looked at the time, and now it was time for the general attack at ten o'clock, and he ordered the 10th Army and the 7th Army of the Hainan Liaodong Group Army to launch a general attack on the Japanese troops in Seoul and Ganghwa Island!

As soon as Chen Zhong gave the order, the artillery of the Hainan army, which had already been prepared in advance, began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment of Ganghwa Island and Seoul.

Kojiro Matsumoto, the defender of Ganghwa Island, and Jiro Okamura, the commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese army defending Seoul, sent an urgent telegram to Aritomo in Yamaprefecture at the same time, asking them to quickly send troops to the rescue.

After receiving an urgent telegram from Seoul, Aritomo asked Emperor Meiji that the U.S. warships should be able to wage war against the Hainan army, otherwise, Seoul would soon be lost.

Soon, the White House in the United States received a telegram from Tokyo, in which Emperor Meiji asked the United States to fulfill its promise to declare war on Hainan.

Theodore Roosevelt faced the situation in front of him, and it was really difficult to ride a tiger.

In the end, the U.S. side decided that it could try to warn Hainan and let them return to the negotiating table to solve the problem. At the same time, the South Pacific Fleet of the US military was mobilized to the Yellow Sea, and once the negotiations broke down again, it would fight a decisive battle with the Hainan army in the Yellow Sea.

The U.S. Far East Fleet received an order from the White House to prepare for a tentative artillery bombardment of the Hainan fleet.

However, when Rear Admiral Robley Evans ordered 16 warships of the U.S. Far East Fleet to prepare for an artillery bombardment warning for the Bohai Fleet, they saw through their binoculars that the Bohai Fleet and the Hainan Fleet had set up battle arrays and aimed their cannons at the U.S. Far East Fleet.

What is even more terrifying is that five Jumbo-class battleships appeared in the Hainan fleet, lined up at the tail of the Far East Fleet.

Looking at their posture, once the US army fires its artillery, the cannons of nearly 40 warships of the Hainan army will fire at them at the same time.

If this is the case, coupled with the blow of a hundred heavy guns on the fort at Incheon, it is completely conceivable at this moment that the Far East Fleet of the US Army will be bombed in almost a short time.

Major General Robley Evans said, "General Robert, this alumnus of yours has not given you any affection!" The herald, immediately found a signal to the Hainan army, and we asked for another negotiation. ”

Robert shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "This is not a matter that can be solved by personal feelings alone, it is a matter of national interest." I overestimated our might at the beginning, and the Hainan army is a very low-key, but extremely powerful fleet, and I don't think we will take advantage of it in this area. ”

The signalmen came to report that the Hainan army refused to negotiate and warned us to leave the area immediately, otherwise, in ten minutes, they would have a naval blockade.

All military forces operating in this area will probably be regarded as enemy ships and resolutely annihilated!

Major General Robley Evans, who was silent when he heard this, looked at the time, then turned to Robert and said, "Mr. Major General, we must now deal with this matter sensibly and convey the real situation to Mr. President, that we have come to this area for the interests of the United States in the Far East, not for war. We don't have to pay for Japan, a war madman. ”

Robert smiled bitterly and said: "General Evans, I have heard the sound of the Hainan army shelling Seoul, and we can't change this fact, I think, sometimes it is better to learn to be tactful and tactful." Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss. As for the face, it is not too important at some point. If it is for the greater good, this face can be avoided. Then let's report to China as soon as possible. ”

Two minutes later, President Theodore Roosevelt received a message from the Yellow Sea, which made him very angry.

President Roosevelt, who has always been known for his tough posture, suddenly sensed that the problem at hand was very urgent and thorny.

This politician, who is good at power tricks and strategy, after a short period of emotional excitement, still used his strong control to quickly calm down his anger.

In the face of changing political circumstances, Theodore Roosevelt was always able to control all accidents with his great intellect. President Roosevelt made the final decision on the current situation in the Yellow Sea.

"Gentlemen, it is a pity that there has been a serious error in our judgment of the situation in the Far East, and our intelligence services have trusted the cunning Japanese. They gave us the wrong information, and as a result, our Far Eastern Fleet and our United States were in an extremely embarrassing position.

However, it was still too late, and we did not make irreparable mistakes. What we need to do now is not to be impressed, but to be calm and use our reason to deal with the crisis at hand.

The premise of this judgment on the current situation is: What is the most essential purpose of our Far Eastern Fleet in the Yellow Sea? Of course, we are well aware that our purpose is the interests of the United States in the Far East, not to help Japan enter the war.

At this moment, a huge war crisis is threatening the interests of our Far Eastern Fleet and our Americans! What should we do? Will it continue to escalate into war, or will it compromise and withdraw from the center of contradictions in the region?

My answer is to withdraw from this area immediately and courageously withdraw from this war, which will bring great losses to the national interests of the United States.

I don't want to see a war without any interests. The current situation is something we have not considered, and in the face of the king of Hainan who is like a demon king, I think it is better for us Americans to deal with it with a gentle attitude. ”
