On June 16, Washington time, this morning, all Democratic-controlled newspapers in the United States reported the news of the defeat of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet in a large number of pages on the front page, and asked the government in a stern tone: What has the government been doing all these years? All the interests of the United States have been harmed by the government.

Suddenly, almost all the people in the United States were boiling, and everyone was very resistant to this war, afraid of a repeat of the cup two years ago. However, the government declared to them that the United States would definitely win this war. The United States will develop from a power in the Americas to a world power. He made a lot of good promises to the people, but now it seems that all this qiē has become a lie.

Demonstrations against the government broke out in major cities in the United States, and with the Democratic Party fanning the flames, the US Government and the Republican Party encountered a great crisis. Tens of thousands of citizens of Washington gathered in front of the White House, shouting slogans against the government. Many Americans who have relatives serving in the West Coast Fleet even call the US government, US President William? McKinley was the executioner.

If it weren't for the U.S. government's urgent deployment of troops to guard the White House, I'm afraid that the angry people would have stormed the White House. U.S. President William? McKinley is not in the White House at the moment. Early in the morning, he left the White House and headed to Capitol Hill.

"Although we lost this battle, our strategy is absolutely correct, the United States and China will never become friends, they will be mortal enemies! Only by defeating China can we become a world power. Although the current military strength of the United States cannot catch up with China. However, our industrial strength is much stronger than that of China. Just give us enough time. We will be able to surpass China! Gentlemen. China sees exactly that. He has always been our enemy. They want to go through the guò war and interrupt our development. "President William? McKinley, is giving his final speech to members of the U.S. Congress. Today, he will submit his resignation to Congress, becoming the first president in American history to resign. However, he does not want a change in US policy. In this case, it will be even more impossible for the United States to become a world power.

Ultimately. U.S. President William? McKinley, formally submitted his resignation to Congress. After discussion, Congress agreed to his resignation. By Vice President Garrett? Hobart, acting president, William? McKinley left Capitol Hill. Although, this ending is not very good, but it is also much better than his ending in history. William in history? McKinley, who was assassinated in 1901, became the third president in U.S. history to be assassinated. Right now. He resigned voluntarily, at least he could enjoy his old age in peace.

Garrett? After Hobart assumed the duties of acting president. An emergency meeting was immediately convened to discuss the current situation. In order to ensure the continuity of the policy, Garrett? Hobart has not changed his cabinet, and he is still the same cabinet members as before. Garrett? Immediately after Hobart took over, he issued a statement promising the American people that they would ensure that American interests would not be violated as much as possible. It took a lot of effort to quell the opposition of the people.

"Guys, what should we do now? The navy failed, and the Chinese could drive straight from the west coast! "Although in the hands of the supreme power of the United States, Garrett? Hobart was not happy. The current situation is simply a mess.

"Your Excellency, we must be prepared to deal with the Chinese attacking our homeland. The Army has begun to move, and we will deploy heavy troops on the West Coast in suitable places for landing to prevent the Chinese from landing on the US mainland. However, our current troops are extremely insufficient, and the coastline of the west coast is too long, and it is very difficult to form a strong defense line on the west coast! Secretary of War Russell? Alger said.

"Your Excellency, although we have failed, the losses of the Chinese are not light. We have at least a month left. Moreover, the decisive battle between the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia and the Chinese is about to begin. We can wait until the results of the decisive battle are available before we make the next move. If the combined fleet of Britain, France, and Russia is victorious, then we can continue to fight, and the interests of the United States will not be greatly harmed. But if the Chinese win, then we need to make peace with China right away! "Secretary of the Navy Theodore? Roosevelt said. Although, the West Coast Fleet was almost completely annihilated, but Theodore? Roosevelt's position was not affected much, and in the United States there was no more suitable Secretary of the Navy than him.

Garrett? Hobart nodded, then asked, "So, do you think the combined fleet of Britain, France, and Russia will be able to win?" ”

"I'm not sure about this, I'll only know after the results of the battle come out!" Theodore? Roosevelt said. If, before they could have asserted that it must have been the victory of the combined fleet of Britain, France, and Russia, then he was now

The scriptures don't have that faith anymore. The powerful strength of the Chinese Navy shocked him very much. Even if the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia has an overwhelming superiority in forces, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the end?

"John? Your Excellency Sherman, I think you can leave for the West Coast, and we can make our next decision when the results of the decisive battle between the combined British, French, and Russian fleets and the Chinese Navy's home fleet are known. If the Chinese win, you immediately go to China, at any cost, you must make peace with the Chinese, and you must not let the Chinese land in the United States! "Garrett? Hobart said.

"Yes, Your Excellency! But I think we can let Mr. Sherlock go to China first and test the tone of the Chinese. "Secretary of State, John? Sherman said. After the start of the war between China and the United States, Sherlock, the U.S. minister to China, had already left China. He is currently staying in Japan.

"The Chinese will definitely make a lot of demands this time, and if you go in person, you can also show our sincerity." If the United States can be the first to reach an agreement with China and withdraw from the war, we will certainly suffer less losses! "Garrett? Hobart said.

After that, the new U.S. administration discussed other issues and finally stabilized the situation. Although the United States also does not want to lose, now they have no choice. Unless the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia can defeat the Chinese home fleet, this possibility is probably not very likely in the eyes of the US government, which has just experienced defeat. It's just that they still regard the combined British, French-Russian fleet as their last hope. In this way, they will not have to be slaughtered by China.

The outcome of the Second Sino-US Naval Battle in the Pacific also caused a great shock in the world. Originally, all countries thought that China would definitely lose in this war. However, now it seems that China is getting bigger and stronger! Britain, France, Russia, and Japan originally had great confidence in the expedition of the British-French-Russian combined fleet, believing that they would definitely be able to defeat the home fleet of the Chinese Navy. But now their confidence seems to be starting to waver. If the combined fleet of Anglo-French-Russian forces had not been able to achieve victory, then they would not have been able to defeat China at all in this war. The interests of all countries in the Far East and the Pacific will be completely lost. And if China doesn't settle for that, they have much more to lose. For example, India and Australia, which are already under China's nose.

When he learned of the defeat of the U.S. Navy, the British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, immediately summoned the British Admiralty, Walter, despite the fact that it was one o'clock in the morning. Lord Kerr, discuss with him what to do.

"Walter? Lord Kerr, the Chinese Pacific Fleet, is the smallest fleet in the Chinese Navy. However, all of them were able to annihilate the main forces of the US Navy at a slight cost. So, I have big doubts about the expedition of the fleet. Will we really be able to win this time? "Marquis Salisbury, eyes fixed on Walter? Lord Kerr, Lord.

"Your Excellency, please believe the officers and men of the Navy. The navy of the British Empire is still the most powerful navy in the world. The U.S. Navy has powerful warships in the air, but their soldiers are a terrible mess. They simply can't bring out the performance of the battleship. If it had been the British soldiers who had manipulated their warships to fight with the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, I believe that the outcome of the naval battle would have been rewritten! "British Admiralty Chancellor Walter? Lord Kerr insisted.

The Marquess of Salisbury was silent, as if he was thinking about Walter? Lord Kerr's words are the same. There is no doubt that the current Britain has been driven to a dead end. The expeditionary fleet is about to arrive in China, and it is impossible to recover it now. Moreover, both Burma and the Straits Settlements have already been occupied by China, and it is simply impossible for China to spit it out. Only by defeating China by the expeditionary fleet can the interests of Britain be guaranteed and the British colonial system around the world can be preserved. The annual fiscal revenue of the United Kingdom is not high, and it is not even comparable to that of France. However, Britain was able to reap huge profits from its colonies every year, which was why Britain was able to maintain its position as the world's leading power. Therefore, Britain's global colonial system must not collapse. Otherwise, Britain will quickly collapse.

"Where is the fleet?" The Marquess of Salisbury asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the fleet will enter the Andaman Sea tomorrow and will soon cross the Strait of Malacca and enter the South China Sea!" Walter? Lord Kerr asked.

"To Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons and Frederick? William? Sir Richards sent a telegram telling them that the future of the British Empire was in their hands, and that they must defeat the Chinese navy and achieve victory! The Marquis of Salisbury said sternly! (To be continued.) )
