One can imagine how angry the Americans would have been when they received the British's Chinese attitude, and they could tell from the British that Britain was in favor of the demilitarization of the Pacific because it was in the interests of the British Empire, and that Britain had reservations about the self-determination of Hawaii and the Philippines.

The U.S. delegation responded in London by announcing the breakdown of the negotiations to express his outrage.

China has always adhered to the most basic principles of mankind and always insisted that all nations have the right to determine their own destiny, which is the most precious wealth brought to mankind by the European war, and this is the greatest spirit of the Paris Peace Conference, and that all acts that undermine this principle are a provocation to international peace and a provocation to the principle of peaceful coexistence of mankind.

The Chinese delegation sang a high note, and it also won the approval of a large number of small European countries, if they did not agree, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Moravia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland and other countries established in Europe would lose their legitimacy.

Immediately before leaving London, the Chinese delegation solemnly stated at the League of Nations that although the irresponsible racism and nationalism of the United States made them refuse to give up the legitimate demands of the Hawaiian people and the Filipino people, which triggered a conflict between China and the United States, China promised not to fire the first shot, and China would not start a war if the United States did not declare war on China.

Well, Hawaii has been scrapped, and the first shot has not been fired, but the United States has no say in the League of Nations, and their observers cannot argue for themselves in the League of Nations, and when the US Congress vetoes the bill for the United States to join the League of Nations and renounces the permanent status of the United States, they isolate themselves from the world order.

Isolationism gives the United States a reason to extricate itself from Europe's turmoil, but it also restricts its influence on the platform of the League of Nations.

Of course, the League of Nations is still not a powerful organization, and it is not even comparable to the United Nations, which has no meaning in later generations, but after all, it is the first world organization, and it is still very bluffing in these years, and many backward countries can only believe in the role of the League of Nations, such as China after 918 in history.

Therefore, China's statement in the League of Nations has received some recognition, and it has also muddled the negative evaluation after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, so that some countries have begun to appear that the conflict between China and the United States is indeed accidental, even if the newspapers insist that China's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is premeditated, it also says that China really does not seem to take the initiative to attack the United States, and the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor may only be a defensive attack, a preventive attack for the security of its own country.

Of course, there are more sympathizers for Americans, first, the United States is a white country after all, and Europeans have a natural affinity for the United States, and second, the United States is indeed a victim, and their immigration policy is an internal affair, and other countries can protest and make targeted measures, such as the Exclusion Act, but a direct military attack is too much to say.

But at the same time, more and more newspapers began to express their understanding of China, saying that the reason why China came to this step of military conflict with the United States, the United States is not completely without responsibility, and the Chinese Exclusion Act that the United States has lasted for more than 40 years, so discriminatory treatment of a rising world power, indeed makes Chinese feel humiliated.

Some people even suspect that the Chinese government was completely ignorant of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but that the Chinese navy personnel decided for themselves; after all, China's nationalist sentiment in recent years has also been very intense, and those soldiers with strong blood and strength have a stronger hatred for the United States than ordinary people, and it is understandable that they have made some unconventional moves in anger, and the Chinese government can only accept this outcome out of consideration for the sake of maintaining the army, and it can be said that the Chinese government may always be passive.

After all, the United States is not in Europe, and the loss of the United States to the Europeans has no pain, which makes the previously one-sided public opinion begin to slowly adjust.

But the Americans really can't swallow this breath, the rhetoric of declaring war in Congress is getting higher and higher, and the latest vote is even close to 40 percent, and the US government is also seizing the time to prepare for war; under the fierce patriotic propaganda of domestic public opinion, young Americans are enthusiastic, and those who have signed up for the army are very active, and 3 million US troops have been formed and scattered in more than 50 recruit training camps in the United States for urgent training, seeing that a big war is inevitable.

As the president of the United States, Coolidge felt very embarrassed, yes, whether it is attacking Manila or sneaking Hawaii, the Chinese have an unshirkable responsibility, but the problem is that China is a big country, a strong country, a superpower with military strength comparable to the United States, or even larger, and its military potential far exceeds that of the United States.

President Coolidge really has little confidence in the combat effectiveness of the US military, and the performance of the US military in the European war has made the US military department unable to be optimistic, and their military assessment of the president shows that the US Army basically has no chance of winning against the Chinese Defense Force, unless the US Army is more than twice that of the Chinese Defense Force, but if the size of the army is singled, the United States can raise 3 million, or even more, but China can always recruit twice or more troops from the United States, and the number of troops is understood by pigs, and it is impossible to fight over China.

As for the navy, half of the navy has now been sunk by China's sneak attack, and it is not difficult to make up for it with the shipbuilding capacity of the United States, but it takes time, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to build a battleship without a year or two, even if it works overtime, the most optimistic estimate of the most mature shipyards in the United States is that it will be at least 9 months before it is possible to push a battleship into the water.

What's more, even if the number of naval warships can be restored to the same level as China, but the combat capability, with the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy in this sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, it is really difficult for the US Navy to compete with the Chinese Navy in a short time, and the most important thing is that China's use of aircraft carriers seems to be far superior to the US Navy, involving the level of aircraft carrier design, carrier-based aircraft performance, soldier training level and other aspects, which even take more time to improve than the construction of warships.

Therefore, it is impossible for the army to be the opponent of the Chinese army, and it is completely impossible for the navy to compete with the Chinese navy at present.

As a responsible president, Coolidge can only call on the people to calm down, telling the people that going to war at this time is extremely detrimental to the United States, but will nationalist and hot-blooded young people listen to this reason?

The constant crowd began to add slogans demanding the president's resignation.

This made President Coolidge feel quite unlucky. (To be continued.) )
