Chapter 990: The United States Prepares to Fight Back
During the war, a qiē from Jane. Theodore. President Roosevelt once again entered the BF Palace and became the president of the United States, and immediately submitted a list of cabinet members to Congress. This list, after deliberations between the Republican Party and the Minzhu Party, has already been prepared. According to Theodore. President Roosevelt and Woodrow. Vice President Wilson's agreement divided the Cabinet between the two parties.
Theodore. The composition of President Roosevelt's cabinet was ultimately as follows, with Vice President and Senate President Woodrow. Wilson, Secretary of State William. James. Brian, Secretary of the Treasury William. Gibbs. Sell Kadu, Minister of War Elihu. Root, Attorney General James Brown. Clarke. McReynolds, Postmaster Albert Burleyson, Secretary of the Navy George Brown. Feng. Lengelke. Meyer (who was also the only one of Taft's zhèngfu to remain in office), Home Secretary James Brown. Rudolph. Garfield, Secretary of Agriculture David Houston, Secretary of Commerce and Labor William Redfield.
Although the members of Congress were very tired, everyone still cheered for Theodore. This list of Cabinets submitted by President Roosevelt.
The formation of the new zhèngfu this time is completely a cake shared by the Republican Party and the Minzhu Party, and in the case that both parties have been united, of course, there will be no variables. Even though some of Duli's legislators expressed their opposition, they were too few to compete with the two parties, and could only watch as the new Zhèngfu was controlled by the Republican Party and the Minzhu Party.
Although there are some doubts in the American people, they believe that the hope of such a union between the Republican Party and the Minzhu Party will very likely lead to the possibility of ducái. But in Theodore. Under President Roosevelt's explanation that the goal was to win the war, the vast majority of Americans agreed with this new zhèngfu. After all, if the United States wants to survive as a country, it must defeat the enemy in front of it. Otherwise, what minzhu and ziyou・that's all bullshit! The country is gone, and everything else is empty.
That night, even though it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, Theodore. Roosevelt convened an emergency cabinet meeting in a small meeting room in the White House. Theodore. President Roosevelt's face was flushed, he never imagined that it would be so easy to overthrow Taft this time. From the outbreak of the incident to the time the dust settled, there were only three days in total. The transfer of power in the United States has also been basically smooth. Now, put Theodore. There was only one conundrum before President Roosevelt, and that was the invasion of China, the great enemy of the United States. If he can't defeat China after he comes to power, then he won't be able to explain it to the American people. After all, what he has always declared is that he hopes that the people will give him a chance to lead the United States through this crisis.
"Gentlemen, the new zhèngfu has been formed, and this time, we have achieved a remarkable victory. However, the new zhèngfu has just been established, and there are still some unstable factors in the domestic political situation, and I hope that zhèngfu can stabilize the domestic order in the shortest possible time and shift everything to resisting China's invasion! "Theodore. President Roosevelt looked at the crowd and said.
Secretary of State William. James. Brian and Home Secretary James Brown. Rudolph. Garfield said that they will stabilize order in the country in the shortest possible time and will not adversely affect the war on the front line. In fact, this time, the smooth transition of the regime will not have much impact on the rest of the United States, and it is only necessary to prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
"Then the next issue is the most important one. After the establishment of the new zhèngfu, we must give hope to the people. And there is only one way to do this, and that is to defeat the Chinese on the battlefield. Minister of War and Minister of the Navy, do you have anything to say? "Theodore. President Roosevelt asked. Although he knew that it would be very difficult to defeat China, he had to do it, otherwise the United States would be doomed.
"Your Excellency, we have lost the initiative on the battlefield in Mexico and are on the defensive as a whole. The Chinese relied on a powerful air force to gain superiority on the battlefield. We cannot launch an effective counterattack without countermeasures. According to the latest information, the Chinese had completely broken through our defenses this afternoon, and the broken rear force left by Admiral Davis on the defensive line of the Sierra Madre do Sul had been routed. Fortunately, Admiral Davis had already led the main force to retreat, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. The War Department built yì, according to Admiral Davis's Jianyì, with Mexico City as the center, to form a central Mexican defense line to resist the attack of the Chinese. The War Department planned to send troops from ten corps to central Mexico to support Admiral Davis. In addition, the newly developed Gao shè machine gun will also be sent to the front. At the same time, the arsenal was also developing more powerful high-profile guns. Our new fighter planes with Britain and France are also progressing rapidly, and it is expected that in three months, we will be able to compete with the Chinese Air Force! Finally, in order to further strengthen the war strength of the United States, the War Department plans to launch a new round of mobilization, once again mobilizing two million young people to join the army, bringing the total strength of the US Army to 7 million! "Minister of War Elihu. Rout said. Although, he was just taking over the Ministry of War, but back in Theodore. When Roosevelt first came to power, he served as Secretary of War. After the Republican Party confirmed that he would become the new secretary of war, he immediately collected relevant information about the U.S. Army and took out the building. Overall, though, the Mexican battlefield was still very unfavorable for the U.S. military.
Theodore. President Roosevelt nodded, he also knew the situation of the Army, and according to General Pershing, if the US Army could withstand the Chinese attack in the middle of Mexico, it would be God forbid. Of course, with the further lengthening of the squadron's logistical supply line, the US Army is not without opportunities.
"With regard to the Mexican Theater, I mention that General Pershing continues to be the Supreme Commander of the Mexican Theater, and as for General Davis, he is Admiral Pershing's deputy. What do you think? "Theodore. President Roosevelt said.
No one objected, and the members of the Minzhu Cabinet had apparently abandoned control of the army and concentrated on internal affairs. Republican cabinet members also know Theodore. President Roosevelt's contact with Admiral Pershing naturally did not object to this proposal. Thus, the post of Admiral Pershing was restored, and he became Theodore. The first order issued by President Roosevelt after he came to power.
"What about the Navy? Minister Meyer. Although the main force of the navy was temporarily unable to participate in the war because the Panama Canal was cut off, this did not mean that the navy could do nothing. In my opinion, the West Coast Fleet should provide strong support for the Mexican theater! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. The reason why he let the Secretary of the Navy George . Feng. Lengelke. Meyer stayed in office because he was the first to turn to him, and on the other hand, because he hoped that the policy of the Navy would continue without mistakes. If the main task of the US Army is to keep the United States from being annihilated by China, then the Navy has undertaken the task of counterattacking, and whether the United States can defeat China depends on whether the US Navy can defeat the Chinese Navy.
"Your Excellency, I have met with the Commander of the West Coast Fleet, Robert Brown. Lieutenant General Koontz was contacted. Vice Admiral Koontz said that the West Coast Fleet will do its best to come up with effective methods to launch an attack on China's sea transportation lines, strive to cut off the sea transportation lines of the Chinese, and create a zào opportunity for victory in the Mexican battlefield! In addition, the East Coast Fleet is also stepping up its training, and once the Pennsylvania-class, battleships are commissioned, we will be able to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time! Minister Meyer said. Meyer knew that he could not stay in office without Theodore. President Roosevelt's support. If he wants to stay in this position, he will have to cooperate with Theodore. President Roosevelt could do otherwise, Theodore. President Roosevelt was able to get him out of the way right away.
Previously, the US Navy's West Coast Fleet was afraid of losses and was reluctant to risk launching a counterattack on the squadron's sea transport lines. Although forced by order of President Taft, the commander of the West Coast Fleet, Robert Brown. Vice Admiral Koontz made several attempts to send light cruisers, destroyers and submarines to break through the Chinese naval blockade and into the Pacific Ocean. But they were all intercepted by the Chinese Navy, and the losses were not small. In such a situation, the West Coast Fleet stopped its efforts. And now, Theodore. After Roosevelt came to power, if he continued to be perfunctory, it would obviously not work. West Coast Fleet Commander Robert Brown. Lieutenant General Koontz is not a fool either, knowing Theodore. President Roosevelt's style of acting, if it continues to procrastinate, will certainly not end well. Therefore, after the Secretary of the Navy Meyer contacted him, he immediately said that the West Coast Fleet had found a way to break through the blockade of the Chinese Navy and would launch an attack on the sea transportation lines of the squadron in the near future.
Theodore. President Roosevelt nodded, satisfied with Secretary of the Navy Meyer's statement. However, it will depend on the follow-up effect. If Meyer wanted to fool him like he did Taft, it would be impossible.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation in the United States is very critical right now. In the European battlefield, allies such as Britain, France, and Russia have begun to gradually reverse their disadvantages, and we cannot lag behind. I hope that we will be able to stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time and recover the disadvantage! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said!
