By the time Secretary of the Navy Meyer arrived at the White House, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, beautiful! Theodore. Roosevelt was still busy in his office. Minister of War Elihu. Rout is reporting to His Excellency the President on the situation in the U.S. Army. After the Chinese Army stopped its offensive into the American heartland, the U.S. Army began to build defensive lines in Kansas and other places, relying on dense rivers and waterways to prepare to defend against the Chinese Army's attack. Of course, after suffering one crushing defeat after another, the US Army has lost the ability to fight back. Now they are able to rely on the river to resist the attack of the Chinese army, which is also quite difficult!

"Root, will the Army now be able to hold the line and ensure the security of the American hinterland?" Theodore. President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency President, now that the US Army still has nearly four million troops, we are fully capable of holding the defensive line and resisting the attack of the Chinese!" Elihu. Minister Root said. Although the U.S. Army suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, it was able to recruit enough troops after the restrictions on conscription were relaxed, and the U.S. industrial strength was able to arm these troops. It's just that it's very difficult to say how much combat strength these troops have, and most of them are just a rabble that has just learned to shoot. The reason why the US Army is now able to hold the line is entirely because the Chinese Army has taken the initiative to stop the attack and has not attacked the US hinterland again. Otherwise, with these rabbles alone, the US Army will not be able to hold it at all!

"What if the navy is also defeated? In the event of a naval defeat, will the Army still be able to hold on? "Theodore. President Roosevelt asked.

"Huh? Navy defeat! Your Excellency the President, if the Navy fails, the Chinese will definitely attack in a big way! You know, the whole nation is now pinning all their hopes on the Navy. If the navy suffers a crushing defeat, we will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese at all! When the time comes, the United States will definitely lose! "Elihu. Minister Rutter said directly. Although he is reluctant to admit it, the US Navy has indeed become the last hope of the United States, and if the US Navy loses badly, it is conceivable what will happen to the United States!

"Minister Root, this is nothing more than a hypothesis of mine! I believe that the Navy will be able to win! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. Although, he hoped that the Army would take its due responsibility, Elihu. Minister Root's answer disappointed him.

Now it seems that the U.S. Army has indeed been beaten by the Chinese Army and has no power to fight back. If the U.S. Navy is defeated, then the U.S. is a complete defeat! Of course, Theodore. President Roosevelt also did not believe that the US Navy would fail. After all, the strength of the combined fleet of the US Navy and the British fleet has absolutely no enemy in the whole world. Not to mention that the expeditionary fleet of the Chinese Navy has only a dozen capital ships!

"Your Excellency, the Secretary of the Navy asks for a meeting!" At this time, the secretary of the White House entered Theodore. President Roosevelt's office, reported!

"Let him in! Hopefully he's got good news for us! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said with a smile.

Soon the Secretary of the Admiralty, Meyer, entered Theodore. In President Roosevelt's office, the expression on his face was a little yīn dull, which made the hopeful Theodore Roosevelt. President Roosevelt had a bad premonition in his heart!

"Minister Meyer, please take a seat, are you not feeling well?" Theodore. President Roosevelt asked. At this moment, the smile on his face was gone!

"No, Your Excellency the President, I'm fine! Your Excellency the President, the Admiralty has already received a telegram from the fleet! Minister Meyer said!

"Oh? Did the naval battle come to fruition? "Theodore. President Roosevelt was shocked and looked at Secretary Meyer nervously, even though he was the president of the United States, the leader of the United States, one of the most important powers in the world, but he was still very nervous at the moment! He knew very well that the outcome of this naval battle was directly related to the fate of the United States! Whether the United States can continue to survive in the future depends on whether it can win this naval battle! But from the current Minister of the Navy Meyer's face is ugly, the result is probably worrying!

"Your Excellency! This time in a naval battle, we lost! As of tonight, the naval battle is over! The US Navy was defeated by the Chinese, and in this naval battle, we lost all our capital ships and other warships! We have completely failed, and there is no possibility of a turnaround! "The Minister of the Navy Meyer said with a sad face!

At the moment, Theodore. President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Elihue. Rult's eyes widened and he looked at the Admiralty Minister Meyer in amazement, as if he couldn't believe what he was saying. You must know that before the decisive battle at sea began, almost all Americans thought that the United States had won this naval battle! But now the US Secretary of the Navy, Meyer, has brought them such a result!

"Minister Meyer, you're not kidding?" Elihu. Root asked. You know, if the Navy really fails, then the United States will be completely finished, and all their plans will become shadows! Theodore. President Roosevelt also stared at Secretary Meyer, hoping to get the answer they wanted from him!

"Minister Root, do you think I'm going to make a joke about that?" Minister Meyer said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, Theodore. President Roosevelt's face turned pale, and his whole person was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he suddenly spread out on the sofa, as if he had been pulled out of his bones! The navy is defeated, the United States is completely finished, and they will become the first great power to be destroyed by the Chinese in this war!

"Minister Meyer, how can this be? How could such a thing happen? Didn't our combined fleet with the British have 46 capital ships? That's three times as many as the Chinese! How could it be that you could not win against the Chinese and lose all your battleships? It's absolutely impossible! "Elihu. Minister Rout shouted in a gaffe. After the defeat of the navy by the Chinese, it was foreseeable that the Chinese army would soon attack. At that time, the US Army will also suffer a series of crushing defeats until the United States is completely destroyed!

"Minister Root, although our capital ships are much more than the Chinese! But in front of the Chinese planes, all capital ships are nothing more than targets! Although we have also added anti-aircraft weapons to these warships, they are still vulnerable in the face of Chinese aircraft! Our most advanced 'Pennsylvania-class, the battleship was sunk under siege by Chinese aircraft! Before the main force of our navy encountered the main force of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet, all the capital ships equipped with 343 mm guns were sunk or severely damaged! Secretary of the Navy Meyer said.

This time the defeat of the Navy was beyond everyone's expectations! They never thought that such a thing would happen!

"Damn! Minister Meyer, how can the Chinese attack us with aircraft? They didn't have an airfield in the western Atlantic! Although they have airfields in Mexico, with the xìng capabilities of Chinese planes, they simply can't cross the entire Gulf of Mexico and then attack our navy in the Bahamas! "Elihu. Minister Root still thinks this qiē is too exaggerated. In order to guard against the attack of Chinese aircraft, the US Navy placed the decisive battle in the Atlantic Ocean, not in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean. But I didn't expect that this is still the ending in the end!

"Where the Chinese's plane took off, we don't know. However, as far as we know, the Chinese did not build an airport on the islands in the western Atlantic. Therefore, we judge that the Chinese's plane took off from a ship! The Chinese built a kind of warship similar to a sea airfield, and then aircraft took off from such a battleship to attack the capital ships of our Navy! Only this reason can explain why the Chinese planes were able to continuously attack the main forces of our navy, and finally led us to suffer a crushing defeat! Minister Meyer said. Although I have not seen the appearance of aircraft carriers with my own eyes, according to speculation, the American side can also roughly guess the principle of aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy. It's just that it's too late for the US Navy now.

"Those Chinese raised by bitches, they have once again pitted us!" Elihu. Minister Root also scolded! He knew that the US Navy should have been severely pitted by the Chinese this time, and all the capital ships of the US Navy were pitted into it.

"Minister Meyer? How big are our specific losses? How much damage have we inflicted on the Chinese? "Theodore. President Roosevelt sorted out his feelings for a moment, and then asked.

"Your Excellency, we have lost all the ships of the East Coast Fleet! Our capital ships were sunk by the Chinese 19 ships, and the remaining 21 surrendered to the Chinese! The rest of the heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers also surrendered! The East Coast Fleet is now completely annihilated! Minister Meyer replied!

"Surrendered? All 21 capital ships surrendered to the Chinese? William. What the hell does that guy Benson think? "Theodore. President Roosevelt asked with a frown!

"Your Excellency, the order to surrender is to Chief of Staff Edward. Lieutenant General Abor ordered! At that time, all of our super battleships were sunk or heavily damaged, and there were only 13 intact battleships left. Faced with a dozen advanced battleships and overwhelming aircraft of the Chinese, Edward . In order to save the lives of tens of thousands of young Americans, Lieutenant General Abor gave the order to surrender! Minister Meyer replied!
