"Mr. President, Russia. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)"

Before Jossen could finish pushing the door open, he stopped his mouth, for he saw Wilson and the Secretary of State talking against the window, his fingers pinching his eyebrows.

As secretary of state, he was one of several people who were familiar with President Wilson, and he found that he didn't know when this action seemed to become a habit of the president, and he also knew that when he made this action, he must have encountered something that gave him a headache again, so he would use this way to relieve the nerves that had been tense to the extreme.

In addition to the fact that Russia is ready to continue negotiations to withdraw from the war, what bad news is there at this time? While Jossen's heart was hanging, Wilson had already turned his head and asked, "How is Russia?" Are you ready to accede to their request? ”

"No, there isn't."

Jossen shook his head: "It's just back to negotiations, but the gap between their demands is too big, and the Russian people will definitely not agree to such an agreement, so I don't think it can succeed." ”

Secretary of State Lansing also agreed: "For Russia, if this agreement is signed, it will lose 5.7 million square kilometers of land, tens of millions of people, 90% of the country's coal mining, 75% of iron ore, 54% of industry and 42% of railways, and will have to pay billions of rubles in reparations, they will never agree!" ”

"Really?"

Wilson pushed open the window with a tired face, and in the middle of summer, there were few passers-by traveling together on the streets of Washington, and the laughter and laughter gradually disappeared from the sky over the city, even in this scorching sun where even the demonstrators were unwilling to stay longer, factories across the United States still did not dare to get tired, and as Chinese warplanes and warships began to haunt the West Coast with impunity, tension and anxiety began to plague everyone.

Unconsciously, the United States has been mired in war for 2 years, and looking back at this time, he found that he had done a stupid thing, was kidnapped by Britain, bewitched by Li Mo, and pulled into the whirlpool by domestic trusts.

There is no regret in this world, so no one can change what has happened, I once hoped and relied on strong economic strength to quickly occupy the southwest Pacific Ocean, and the war burned to the territory of China, now it seems that it is just a fantasy, if it were not for the main Chinese army was dragged in Russia and Australia, maybe the west coast has fallen.

But at this time, there is no way to withdraw, you must grit your teeth and persevere, as a politician he is more sober than many people, and losing means that the United States will probably become a second Russia!

"Mr. President." The Secretary of State's voice sounded in his ears again: "Britain is already speeding up the mobilization of troops to Russia, yesterday they sent the second group of 5,000 marines have taken control of the port of Arkhangelsk, the army led by General Allenby has also penetrated deep into the Caspian Sea and is heading for the Don valley in the Caucasus, and Prime Minister Lloyd George has assured us that if Lenin does something against us, Britain will not sit idly by." 【 I want: super fast update ]"

Wilson shook his head, and although Jesson and Lansing did not think that Russia would sign such a humiliating contract, they both forgot one thing: "Lansing, you don't understand that when "all power is vested in the Soviets", Lenin and they can easily block all dissenting voices, and for their own interests, he will agree. ”

"No, I would definitely agree!" Wilson swung his arm fiercely and took a deep breath: "So, we have to be prepared for no Russia!" ”

"Russia is important, but not important to us." Seeing that Lansing was still about to speak, Wilson stopped him and returned to the topic before Jossen came in: "How is Noumea?" ”

"Noumea?!"

Johnson almost jumped up, and after Lansing's general explanation, he finally knew why the president was so worried about it, it turned out that since yesterday afternoon, the Chinese navy suddenly set out from Port Vila to attack Caledonia and Port Noumea, trying to completely seal off Australia.

"There is no further information yet, but the garrison has telegraphed that the enemy's fire is very fierce, and about 4 capital ships have been put into the shelling of the shore, as well as 3 light carriers, 100 aircraft."

"Go tell William Benson that I need to know all the news from Noumea." After Wilson finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had just delivered the capital ship and asked, "How are they doing?" When can I arrive in San Diego? ”

Lansing naturally knew who they were in Wilson's mouth, and immediately said: "2 Pennsylvania-class battleships, 2 Northampton-class heavy cruisers, and 5 Brooklyn-class light cruisers are currently assembled in Florida and will leave for the Pacific Ocean no later than the end of the month. ”

"Also." After a pause, Lansing said, "Mr. President, Vice Admiral Benson has suggested that we withdraw our 4 capital ships in India and additionally withdraw the fleet stationed in Australia. ”

"Withdraw them all? Why! Wilson's hand on the pen froze suddenly, it was not a problem to withdraw a few warships, but what about Anglo-American relations? Don't you think about it? I'm afraid this is no longer a military issue!

"President, yesterday Hua again sent planes to bomb San Francisco from the sea, and a group of 40,000 Korean and Japanese troops has also arrived in Panama, and we suspect that they may be about to land!"

Wilson could not emerge from the shock, and Lansing continued: "In addition, General Adam has arrived at King George, Canada, with the 50,000 Canadian troops who have arrived early, and he has telegraphed that supplies are currently being transported to attack Alaska later than the beginning of August, but he hopes to receive naval support. ”

"But us." Lan Xin took a deep breath: "Now the navy is insufficient, so. ”

The United States, the world's largest industrial and economic power and the world's second navy before the war, actually reached the dilemma of insufficient naval strength and the need to transfer a few warships that had promised its allies to send abroad. ”

"Yes."

"Trebuchet, big eyes call trebuchet."

"Trebuchet received."

The four-seater long-range Hummingbird water reconnaissance plane was constantly hovering over the port of Noumea, with a lookout in the back seat in charge of reconnaissance, and a co-pilot and navigator holding a microphone to constantly provide bombing coordinates to the fighters hovering in the distance according to prompts.

"To the southwest of the port, at a distance of 1,800 meters, two large-caliber shore guns were found."

"Roger." After Meng Xiaodong finished answering, he glanced at the second team that was following on the left and right, followed me, and laid eggs. ”

"Laying eggs?!" In the flight control tower of the Zhongwei heavy aircraft carrier, a sip of coffee turned into a rainstorm: "This love calf, look at how I clean him up when I come back!" ”

Meng Xiaodong didn't know that he was being targeted, and after a flick of the longitudinal rod, the dragon's tooth torpedo/bomber carrying a 250-kilogram bomb was like a fat white goose, suddenly deflecting its wings, and began to rapidly reduce its altitude amid the neighing of the engine.

The dragon's teeth, which pursue low-altitude sea-skimming performance, can only carry out horizontal bombing when performing ground missions, so pilots like to fly as low as possible to strengthen the accuracy of bomb delivery.

The smoke column over the port of Noumea in the distance provided good coordinates for the pilot, and under the guidance of the reconnaissance plane, Meng Xiaodong found this large-caliber shore artillery base hidden in the rainforest.

Seeing the aircraft approaching, the machine guns arranged around them began to fire, and because of the lack of rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, the machine guns became the main force of air defense in the port of Noumea.

In the dense rain of bullets, the war eagle flew over the rainforest like a ghost, and the moment the trigger was pulled, the fuselage suddenly lightened, and the dragon's teeth, which had been freed from the shackles, quickly pulled up and drilled into the blue sky.

Meng Xiaodong hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that the bomb exploded more than a hundred meters away from the heavy artillery, although the fire ball brought up was extremely dazzling, but this distance was almost dead.

"Fuck it!" Meng Xiaodong slapped the fuselage fiercely, wishing that he could immediately have a night owl that was said to be able to provide bombing accuracy in a large way, until two bombs exploded within 30 meters of the shore artillery, the resentment in his chest calmed down slightly, and he began to return with the team that had finished dropping the bombs.

Moments after the warhawk left, the 10 305-mm guns of the battleship Jilin turned around from 20,000 meters away, and in just five minutes, the shore artillery bombardment site was completely destroyed.

When the confirmed telegram was sent back to the flagship, the staff officer immediately marked it with a pen on the map.

The destruction of another firepower point did not make Xiao Tianzhi happy, because from the beginning of the attack, except for shore artillery, almost all the British, American, and Australian forces retreated into the dense rainforest deep on the island, preparing to use the jungle as a cover to continue to resist, and it is conceivable that the marines will fight another hard battle.

Everyone knew that as long as the shipping channel was cut off in an attack on an island, it would be impossible for any island to be stationed for a long time, so he was not worried about the landing battle that was about to start tomorrow morning, and with the ability of the second task force and three Hellfire-class fire support ships, he was sure enough to send the marines up after more than 70 percent of the main firepower points had already been destroyed.

What made him frown was that Claxton must have known that Noumea was under attack at this moment, but he had done nothing, not even a reconnaissance cruiser, which was a bit odd.

The Entente Mobile Fleet stationed in Australia after the Imperial Counterattack was almost completely destroyed, but it was still very replenished by relying on the pre-war ship-building mania, although Li Xiuyan killed 2 French battleships, 1 battle cruiser, 2 heavy artillery light cruisers and 4 Tennessee-class armored cruisers, but Claxton's power in his hands was not much weakened.

2 American Delaware-class battleships, 3 British Bellerophon-class battleships, and 1 British Neptune-class battleship, all of which are battleships, have also undergone anti-aircraft modifications, and are the core of the fleet.

Although the 2 old Illinois class and the 8 Majestic class are all old battleships, they have strengthened their air defense capabilities, and the cover is still okay, as for the remaining dozen or so cruisers have good combat capabilities, so why is he still delayed?

"Do you really want to give up Noumea?"

Xiao Tianzhi shook his head, Noumea is too important, it is not only the east gate of Australia, because of the unique bay advantage, it is one of the few excellent deep-water ports in the southwest Pacific Ocean, almost comparable to Guam, so the Imperial Admiralty has decided to use this place as one of the fleet bases in the southwest and Australia in the future even before attacking Noumea.

Claxton wouldn't be unaware that if this place was lost, it would mean that Australia's rich east coast would all be covered in naval guns, so what was he waiting for?

It's because I'm worried that I'll be surrounded and annihilated when I come out, so I'm sitting and waiting, or yes.

Really want to go?!
