…… If all events point to war, ASEAN can and will attack the United States. It will be possible for the ASEAN coalition to surprise the isolated and weak Asian fleet with absolute superiority before the completion of the Panama Canal, while the main forces of the American fleet remain in the Atlantic and cannot be reinforced in time. The United States will be powerless to stop the ASEAN coalition as it sweeps through the Philippines, Hawaii, and the West Coast of the United States. While it is expected that the United States, when fully mobilized, will eventually expel the enemy from the North American continent, we are likely to lose trade in the Pacific and the military stronghold that protects the West Coast......

www.cmfu.com released On August 27, 1905, in the White House office in Washington, D.C., Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth president of the United States of America, was grimly reading a memorandum presented by Secretary of State Elihu Rutter.

The www.cmfu.com president was only forty-six years old, full and steady, from a prominent family of Dutch descent with an uncle who had been a congressman and ambassador, and a father who was an importer, exporter and banker. During the Spanish-American War of 1898, Theodore led a cavalry regiment to fight valiantly in Cuba, quickly becoming a combat hero, returning home and running for governor of New York, during which he was elected vice president two years later, and the president-elect was shot and killed more than a year after taking office. On September 14, 1901, as vice president, he was sworn in as president of the United States at the age of 42! In 1904, he successfully ran for re-election, and then presided over the peace negotiations between ASEAN and Russia, which successfully brought the war to an end, and was praised as an "angel of peace" by public opinion in the world, but just seven years earlier, this "angel" who had been the assistant secretary of the US Navy was one of the main promoters of the Spanish-American War. At the end of the day, he was an expansionist, and during his tenure as Assistant Secretary of the Navy he was constantly shown to be a full-fledged (not just economic) world power, and the Spanish-American War was a crucial step in achieving his aspirations. ”

www.cmfu.com issued a careful reading of the memorandum, the gloomy president immediately went to call the commander of the Navy, Admiral George Dewey.

www.cmfu.com release, "George, I have a question for you, come to the White House right away." ”

A few quarters of an hour after the release of the www.cmfu.com, Admiral Dewey, a naval hero who had led the Pacific Fleet with only six warships, to annihilate the Spanish Asian detachment in Manila Bay appeared in the presidential reception room with a vivid spirit, and his two thick gray mustaches were conspicuously bifurcated left and right under his nose.

www.cmfu.com release" check this out. President Roosevelt casually handed Dewey a memorandum from Secretary of State Root.

After a cursory glance at www.cmfu.com release, Dewey looked at President Roosevelt with some awareness.

www.cmfu.com release, "George, I want to know what the corresponding combat plan of the Ludao Navy has. ”

www.cmfu.com release of the "Operational Plan? Admiral Dewey, who was a generation older than the president, rubbed his hands a little bewildered.

www.cmfu.com issue an operational plan for the East Asian Alliance, does such a thing exist? ”

www.cmfu.com release Dewey shook his head and nodded again: "In fact, our army was 90 days after the battlefleet sailed out of the Atlantic...... There will be enough advantages to dominate the seas in the East......"

That's all www.cmfu.com releases"? President Roosevelt rubbed his American cowboy chin in dissatisfaction.

www.cmfu.com release "I think that's all I can say, Your Excellency. Admiral Dewey's thin face was piled up with an invincible spiritual shield.

www.cmfu.com the release President Roosevelt had to reluctantly become completely disappointed in the old hero.

In the days following www.cmfu.com release, President Roosevelt met frequently with the heads of the Admiralty, the General Council of the Navy, and the Naval Military Academy, and ordered the three parties to jointly work on an operational plan for ASEAN.

www.cmfu.com released on September 1, the General Committee of the Navy first submitted a report.

www.cmfu.com Release" ...... At present, the United States faces threats from two sides at the same time, namely Germany in the Atlantic and ASEAN led by China in the Pacific...... In view of the fact that the importance of Atlantic trade and the security of the East Coast is more important than that of Pacific trade and the security of the West Coast, and the strength of the US Navy determines that it must concentrate on the use of limited capital ships, we should still concentrate the main naval forces on the Atlantic side in the near future, and at the same time, we must strengthen our vigilance against ASEAN and strive to curb ASEAN's ambitions by diplomatic means. ”

www.cmfu.com issued that "in the long term, in the face of the growing strength and extremely resource-rich ASEAN bloc, in order to protect U.S. interests in the Pacific, when the fleet is expanded to a two-ocean standard (with at least 30 battleships) and sufficient coastal defense and fleet support facilities are built in the Pacific region, it will become desirable to divide the main fleet into two parts in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean......

www.cmfu.com issued "Look, the Chinese and the Japanese may attack the Philippines and Hawaii tomorrow, but the commission tells us that by the time there are 30 battleships, well, diplomacy, what are they going to do if diplomacy fails?" Spend three months driving the fleet to the Pacific theater, and then let the exhausted officers and men repeat the tragedy of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet in the South China Sea? Harry, what do you think? ”

www.cmfu.com release the South Lawn of the White House, President Roosevelt, who was smoking a fine Cuban cigar, angrily banged on the report on the small white lacquered mahogany table, and the Secretary of the Navy Harry Kincage opposite him drank black tea quietly, and finally came up with a sentence for a long time: "Then why not try it?" ”

www.cmfu.com post "What? "President Roosevelt didn't wake up for a moment.

www.cmfu.com release" try, assemble our main fleet and sail to the Pacific Ocean, see how soon it can reach the predetermined theater of operations in a few days, and then see how much combat strength the fleet can retain after completing a long-distance voyage, and by the way, verify how many support facilities and supplies the future Pacific Fleet needs. The most important thing is to demonstrate the determination of the United States to defend its interests in the Pacific, so that the Chinese and Japanese sides will not dare to act rashly. ”

www.cmfu.com President Roosevelt clapped his hands: "We should do this." ”

www.cmfu.com release but after thinking about it, the president shook his head again: "But the current international situation probably does not allow us to do this, the Moroccan crisis has not yet been resolved, and a major war may break out on the Atlantic side at any time, as the report says, we cannot but give priority to protecting the trade on the Atlantic side and the security of the east coast......"

www.cmfu.com release: "The Moroccan crisis will be resolved soon." "Minister Kincage is a little unbelievably laid-back.

www.cmfu.com post "How do you know the way?" ”

www.cmfu.com posted: "I have a hunch. ”

www.cmfu.com release" hunch? Harry, when did you become an astrologer? ”

www.cmfu.com Secretary Kim Keichi twisted the fragments of the cookie in his hand and smiled: "Your Excellency, you should have a good talk with Secretary Root. ”

www.cmfu.com released the president's realization: "Okay, I'll talk to him, you know, I don't like people hiding something from me and deliberately hanging my appetite, it's not crisp, yes, it's not crisp at all." ”

www.cmfu.com Release" The Secretary of State may just not want to report unverified things to you, but as for me, I don't know much more than you do. ”

www.cmfu.com posting" you know enough, enough. ”

www.cmfu.com release the president dissatisfiedly spitting smoke rings, one, two, three, four...... Dissipate.

www.cmfu.com release "Harry, I'm starting to regret it, I really shouldn't have told Congress at that time that I only needed to add 1 battleship a year, no, it wasn't enough. But who knows, at that time I really believed that a fleet of 28 battleships was enough. ”

www.cmfu.com release "We need 48 battleships. "The Minister of the Navy emphasized.

www.cmfu.com release" Yes, you know, I support your plan. But do you know what my friend, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, predicted? He said that if the president says that 1 is enough, then he will find it difficult to change his mind and build more battleships. You see, he was right, and every time he mentioned the battleship, someone used this as a weapon. ”

www.cmfu.com release: "Congress is our way, but we have to convince them." The Chinese have decided to build 4 battleships in 3 years, the new type of battleship, which is said to be larger and faster than the South Carolina class that we have just completed designing, and the caliber and layout of the main guns are exactly the same, the lead ship of this type of battleship should have already started, while our South Carolina class has not yet been approved, and this crisis in California is just an opportunity - a good opportunity to break the situation! “

www.cmfu.com the president nodded: "They say I've driven myself into a dead end, and it's time to dig a hole in that wall." How I said yesterday's speech, 'The senators and representatives of these states were indifferent to the Navy last year. I have a sense of contempt for them to challenge the hostile attitude of the East Asians, and to justify by their actions any attitude the East Asians may have towards us, while at the same time refusing to take any steps to protect ourselves from this formidable enemy, to whom they have taken a rash and arrogant attitude of hostility. 'Yes, I despise them. Look at what the Chinese newspapers say - "

An excerpt from an article from China's Zhonghua Times was included in a newspaper in the hands of the president of the www.cmfu.com release: "Our noble civilization does not mean that we must grovel to a barbaric and despicable adversary, and the US Army and Navy, which are known throughout the world and are very poorly equipped and trained, are at all no match for our Imperial Navy and Army, which are well-armed and well-armed and have excellent quality officers and men, and we can send a powerful fleet across the Pacific at any time as long as we wish. A profound lesson to the barbarians who brutally ravaged our East Asian compatriots is that as long as we are willing, it will not be a problem for the East Asian coalition to fly the battle flag in the sky over San Francisco, and as long as we are willing, why not turn this barbaric United Emirates into the granary of our East Asian officials and people? ”

www.cmfu.com the Secretary of the Navy threw out his hand: "There is more to it than that, and the Californians and other West Coast residents are now so nervous that I think they may realize that they have gone too far." Like their distant relatives on the East Coast in the West American War, and their ancestors in the War of Independence and the War of 1812, they feared that the enemy's fleet would cross the ocean. So now more than ever, they're going to listen to the president's talk about building a larger navy. ”

www.cmfu.com President Roosevelt spat out another string of smoke rings and shrugged helplessly: "Look, this is our lovely fellow countryman, and nothing can be done without anything to stimulate it." ”
