"Edward. What qualifications does Lieutenant General Abor have to give orders? William. Why didn't Admiral Benson stop him? "Theodore. President Roosevelt looked at Minister Meyer with stern eyes. Although, under the threat of the main fleet and aircraft of the Chinese Navy, surrendering to the Chinese Navy was conducive to saving the lives of tens of thousands of young Americans. But giving twenty capital ships and a large number of advanced warships to the Chinese still made Theodore . President Roosevelt was very dissatisfied, you must know that these warships were built by the United States by tightening its belt!

"Your Excellency! At that time, William. Admiral Benson has died! After seeing no hope of victory, William. Admiral Benson locked himself in the bridge of the battleship 'Ohio' and sank into the Atlantic with the ship! Minister Meyer replied!

"Ugh!" This time, Theodore. President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Elihue. Root had nothing more to say. In William. After the death of Admiral Benson, Chief of Staff Edward Brown. Vice Admiral Abor became the supreme commander of the fleet, and he had the power to make what he thought was the most advantageous choice based on the circumstances. At the time, Edward. Vice Admiral Abor already believed that the U.S. Navy had no hope of victory, so he surrendered to the Chinese Navy. However, such a choice has buried the hopes of the United States. To be exact, after the defeat of the US Navy, there is no hope for the United States! The only hope of the United States has been shattered, and after the Chinese Navy has won a heavy victory, I am afraid that the Chinese Navy will soon appear on the east coast of the United States! And the Chinese Army will certainly continue to advance into the heart of the United States. The United States is about to face the biggest crisis!

"Good! I won't talk about that now. No matter what. The Navy has failed! This will be a disaster for the United States, and it is time for us to think about how we can save the United States! Miss Catherine, please inform all cabinet members to come to the White House at once for an emergency meeting! "Theodore. President Roosevelt picked up the phone on his desk and said to the secretary outside the office!

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The gentle voice of the beautiful secretary with brown hair sounded inside the microphone. Merely. Theodore now. President Roosevelt had no mind to pay attention to these things, and his mind was already a mess. It is inevitable that the United States will lose a total defeat in this war! So, what else can be done to save the United States now? This is Theodore. It's time for President Roosevelt and the high-ranking officials of the United States to cāo their hearts!

After the call, Theodore. President Roosevelt was lost in thought. This time, the United States no longer has the capital to fight with the Chinese. The main force of the navy has been completely wiped out, and the army has been beaten by the Chinese, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. Under such circumstances, the United States can no longer continue the war. If it had been changed before, before the Chinese Army entered the US mainland, the United States would have probably already thrown an olive branch to China. Begging for peace! Only this time, the Chinese side has made it clear through other channels. It will not accept the surrender of the United States, unless the United States surrenders unconditionally and allows China to slaughter it. Otherwise, the iron hooves of the squadron will completely destroy the United States, and then wantonly ravage the United States and dispose of the United States according to China's wishes. Such conditions were unacceptable to the United States, and they were willing to compensate China for the war losses, but they hoped to continue to exist as an independent country. In this way, no matter how great the losses they pay, the United States still has a chance to rise again. And it is precisely because China sees the threat to China after the rise of the United States that it wants to destroy the United States in every possible way and completely solve this threat. And now it seems that the goal of the Chinese is about to be achieved!

In less than half an hour, the members of the American cabinet rushed to the White House. It's just that in entering Theodore. After President Roosevelt's office, the senior cabinet officials who originally had smiles on their faces had no choice but to stop saying anything and keep their mouths shut after feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the office!

"Your Excellency, what happened? Is there something changing at the front? "Vice President Woodrow. Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency Vice President, the situation is that the Admiralty has received a message from the fleet! Our fleet fought a fierce battle with the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet in the Bahamas today, and now the fierce battle is over! The U.S. Navy suffered a crushing defeat, with 18 of the 40 capital ships sunk and 22 surrendered to the Chinese. And the losses of the Chinese are minimal! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said!

"Oh God! How is this possible? Immediately the office resounded with one exclamation after another.

"Your Excellency, this is impossible? How can the Chinese defeat our fleet, we have much more capital ships than the Chinese! The Chinese want to completely annihilate our navy at a very small cost, this is simply impossible! "Secretary of State William. James. Brian asked!

"Your Excellency, our navy has indeed been defeated! The Chinese dispatched hundreds of planes in this naval battle, and these planes sank our capital ship lightly! All the advanced capital ships were sunk or severely damaged by the Chinese, even the fleet commander William. Admiral Benson was also killed after Chief of Staff Edward Edward. In order to save the lives of tens of thousands of American youth, Lieutenant General Abor ordered to surrender to the Chinese! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. Although he is not willing to accept this reality, this qiē is completely true!

"Planes, how can Chinese planes appear in the Bahamas, where there are simply no Chinese airfields nearby? Could it be that the Chinese have developed a new type of aircraft? If the Chinese have such powerful planes, I'm afraid Washington is within the bombing range of the Chinese! "The Minister of Finance, William. Gibbs. McAdoo asked, surprised.

"The Chinese planes can't fly that far, but, according to our estimates, the Chinese have developed a warship that can be used for aircraft to take off. It was from these ships that the planes that bombed our fleet took off. Therefore, this qiē is a trap set by the Chinese. They deliberately only sent a dozen capital ships to form an expeditionary fleet into the Atlantic, but secretly sent this kind of secret warship to mix in the expeditionary fleet, and when the naval battle began, they would attack our capital ships with aircraft. Although our capital ships are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons. But in actual combat, the role that our air defense weapons can play is actually very small! Under the attack of the Chinese aircraft, our capital ship did not have the power to fight back at all, and was soon sunk or severely damaged by the Chinese aircraft! "Said the Secretary of the Navy Meyer!

It was personally confirmed by the Secretary of the Navy Meyer, and this time everyone no longer doubted it, but it was still a little difficult for everyone to accept the news of the defeat of the US Navy. Everyone is smart and knows what naval defeat means for the United States!

"Your Excellency President, now that the Navy has failed, then our desire to defeat the Chinese, or even to keep the United States, has become empty talk! What do we do now? What does the future of the United States hold? "Vice President Woodrow. Wilson asked. If he had been expecting the presidency before, now he doesn't want to talk to Theodore. Roosevelt fought. After all, this position is not easy to sit in now, and once the United States is defeated or even destroyed by China, the president will definitely become the target of all Americans!

"Your Excellency Vice President, do you have anything to offer?" Theodore. President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency Root, is the army capable of resisting the attack of the Chinese?" Woodrow. Vice President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency Vice President, in the previous war of more than a year, it has been proved that the Army is not an opponent of the Chinese at all! Now the navy has also failed, which is a blow to the morale of the army! Therefore, the army is estimated to be unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese! "Minister of War Elihu. Rout said bluntly.

"Then, in other words, if we continue to resist, the United States will also be destroyed! Your Excellency, in that case, it is useless for us to continue to resist! I think it's time for us to admit defeat to the Chinese, make peace with the Chinese, and strive for a decent end! "Woodrow. Vice President Wilson said!

"Peace talks with the Chinese? If the Chinese are willing to negotiate peace with us, that would be the best. However, I am afraid that the Chinese will not accept our good intentions and are bent on destroying the United States! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. He also did not know why the Chinese emperor was so wary of the United States, and he had been fighting against the United States since more than ten years ago, weakening the United States through repeated wars, and now he was even trying to completely destroy the United States. And, it looks like it's about to succeed!

"What the Chinese want is just profit! No matter how big the benefits are, we must make peace with the Chinese. Anyway, by this point in the war, we had no chance of winning. In this case, it is better to surrender to the Chinese as soon as possible and avoid more bloodshed and sacrifice! "Vice President Woodrow. Wilson insisted!

"Okay, what do you think?" Theodore. President Roosevelt looked at the rest of the cabinet. If the Chinese can accept the bottom line of the United States and allow the United States to continue to exist as an independent country, it is not impossible for the United States to admit defeat and withdraw from this war, even if it costs a lot! )
