Sixty-nine-nine: It's too early

Six-nine-nine is too early

White House. β€»β€»β€»β€»β€» I β€» I β€» β€»

In the midst of the messy footsteps, Secretary of State Lan Sin, who used to be well-dressed, had messy hair and red eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights, making everyone who saw him wonder what was going on.

A moment later, an explosive news came from the president's office, which not only stunned everyone, but also seemed to make everyone feel the impending cold wave in advance.

The Battle of Augusta was lost!

700,000 Australian troops were killed or captured, 300,000 of them American soldiers!

It's messed up, it's completely messed up!

With the news of China's landing in Brisbane three days later, the whole United States was in a frenzy, 500,000 American soldiers in Australia, 190,000 dead and wounded, those who surrendered will also be sent to Sealand in the next few months, the special geographical environment, making Sealand completely become a super large prison!

What does this mean?

It means that more than 190,000 families have lost their loved ones, and if you add the navy, Panama and India battlefields in the early stage, the United States has already paid the price of nearly a million dead and wounded prisoners!

"We can't, and shouldn't be, going on."

"War, kill all those yellow-skinned monkeys!"

"Boy, can you come back?"

"Get rid of those Confederate spies that are parasitic on American soil!"

Anger and anti-war, like two waves of sea water colliding head-on, in the United States and the entire Entente world, rolled up a thousand terrifying waves, the newspapers fueled the fire, is the aggravation of social unrest, so that the whole United States is in chaos, the police will receive reports of persecution of Germans, Japanese, Chinese and other minorities every day, but the attitude of carelessly pressing the dossier underneath has made the turmoil worse, when the rumor that "Mexico will join the alliance" has spread, a large number of Mexicans have also become the target of discrimination, Every day, large numbers of Mexicans return to Mexico in the hope of avoiding the fighting.

The news that Australia had withdrawn from the war and that millions of people would be deported for war crimes was a source of panic, and when the Chinese fleet attacked San Francisco again, the entire United States held its breath as if it were seeing a tidal wave of Chinese soldiers pouring into the West Coast.

Because everyone knows that China has drawn all its strength, and the remaining India has also come to an end with the landing of nearly 50,000 Chinese troops in Ceylon.

The closure of the Suez Canal, the contention of the Panama Canal, and the filling of the shipping lanes from Asia to Hawaii were a sign of a major offensive, as everyone knew.

Is the United States going to fall?!

Congress, which had always supported the president, launched its first inquiry against President Wilson, and a large number of soldiers were asked to rush to the West Coast and Panama immediately, and the warships had just finished outfitting and sailed out of their home ports before training had even begun, heading to the Caribbean to wait for the passage through the Panama Canal.

But the situation in Panama has become more and more unfavorable, the Huahe Alliance has sent nearly 500,000 troops to the tiny Panamanian rainforest, and although the United States has also increased to an unprecedented 1 million troops, the war situation is still deteriorating, especially after the arrival of Chinese planes, the canal that has been built with huge sums of money can only pass through some ships at night, and the number is becoming more and more limited, and no one knows whether it will be interrupted in the next moment.

As the center of the storm, more than 100,000 demonstrators and protesters gathered in front of the White House, a large number of Americans began to seek refuge in South America, the stock market fell to the freezing point, the futures trading center was forced to close, war debts became a hot potato, and private capital began to flee the United States.

"What to do!"

President Wilson sat quietly in the conference room, motionless and silent as if he were an old man on the verge of death, and the white spots on his temples showed how much pressure he had been under for the past two years.

"Am I wrong?"

Listening to the routine analysis of the battle situation, Wilson asked himself this question repeatedly.

The Indian Ocean was trapped, Russia ceded land and withdrew from the war, Panama fell into a meat grinder, Alaska did not advance an inch, coupled with the defeat of Australia, in an instant, the powerful pre-war Entente fell into embarrassment, and the United States was about to face the danger of falling on its homeland. 【 I want: super fast update 】

"What to do, what to do? Perhaps someone should be sent to test the reaction of the Chinese, will France not be able to withstand the pressure to withdraw? Will Britain end? What if China does land in the United States? Will the defeat cost the United States the entire West Bank? In an instant, countless distracting thoughts flooded into his mind, and even a person like Wilson was shivering.

His gaze couldn't help but turn to Colonel Edward House, who was silently standing next to him.

When the United States was in turmoil and unrest, Britain was already at a loss, and the disappearance of the two major containments between the north and the south meant that Li Mo could concentrate the strength of the whole country to land in the United States, and the war had not consumed much so far Hua had enough spare strength to turn the West Coast upside down, and if Panama fell, it might also threaten the Atlantic!

If Panama falls, in addition to the South American material passage of the Entente countries being cut off, it will no longer be one or several warships in the Atlantic, but a complete fleet!

The pressure on the United States and President Wilson can be imagined, and if they can't hold out, can Britain still win?

The answer is no!

Although the United States was no longer able to send troops to Europe because of its fear of China's landing on its homeland and the containment of Panama and Alaska, the materials it provided had become a lifesaver for Britain and France, and if it were not for the steel and raw materials from the United States, the European battlefield would have become more anxious.

Now that China is supporting Germany through the Baghdad Railway, the inaction of the Indian Grand Fleet has already broken the hearts of Britain, and if the United States is in turmoil at this time, I am afraid that the war will be over!

Although Germany withdrew from the Eastern Front and joined the Western Front with a large number of vital forces after Russia's withdrawal, Britain and France still had an advantage on the Western Front.

A huge battle for Paris is imminent, and even if it is expected that it may fail, the Entente must retake Paris, because without Paris, there would be no France, and if Germany really annexed Paris, the world would be completely ruled by the Central Powers!

What's more, from the bottom of their hearts, the European Entente countries still wish that China would attack the United States, because the United States is not Australia, not only has a large territory, but also its strength and population are far from being comparable to the former.

In fact, even Germany is secretly thinking about this issue, on the one hand, they want to see the beginning of the great showdown in the Pacific, using the United States to weaken China, which is already too powerful, and on the other hand, they are worried that China will run out of energy, resulting in no longer being able to support Germany, and they are swaying from side to side!

Therefore, for the remaining Entente countries at this time, the United States cannot withdraw at this time, and must not!

On September 28, Prime Minister George Lloyd visited the United States for the second time after taking office, and solemnly promised to send an expeditionary force to the United States to help hold on to the West Coast!

In fact, everyone knew that Britain was running out of troops, but this promise allowed President Wilson to weather the storm for the time being.

On October 2, the British Foreign Secretary made a secret visit to Russia and made contact with Lenin for the first time, and although it is not known what means Britain used to get the other side to nod, the Soviets promised to return the 60,000 British troops operating in Russia, and these people would be deployed on the first line of the West Coast as the only expeditionary force to support the United States.

On October 5, the British fleet, including two battlecruisers and seven battleships, departed from Portsmouth for the Gulf of Mexico, where it would take a short break to defend the Panama Canal in the Caribbean.

On October 10, the Avenger-class battleships were ordered to go to South Africa on the same day as the two last two battleships, the King and the Resistance, along with two Spanish-class battleships and three French battleships.

On the same day, Whitehall sent a secret telegram to the Indian Grand Fleet, asking it to prepare for evacuation.

"Haha......."

When the Entente was tense and uneasy, there was constant laughter in the conference room of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing, especially the hearty laughter of the two commanders, Long Guozhang and Xue Muhua, which could be heard from several rooms.

The confident laughter made the staff of the Prime Minister's Office who were busy walking up and down also infected, and the news of Augusta's victory made the whole country seem to breathe a sigh of relief, without the huge pressure of fighting on the third front, the empire was already unstoppable!

"Support the war, persona non grata?!"

Long Guozhang in the conference room didn't know what outsiders thought, after listening to Tang Shaoyi's plan with a cigar in his mouth, he squirted out a mouthful of tea powder, his eyes were round, and his heart was dark and said: "The literati are really vicious, in order to resist, Australia has drained all the men between the ages of 15 and 45, and even the women have been pushed to the battlefield, which family has no soldiers, and after using them to support the war as an excuse to be expelled, how many people will be left?" ”

Tang Shaoyi didn't seem to see Long Guozhang's eyes, and said with a smile: "After putting the Australian soldiers in Sealand custody, they may not be able to get visas to enter Australia in the next few decades, so their families will inevitably have the intention of leaving, and the resistance they encounter in this way can also be weak." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Yan Fu also squinted his eyes, patted his legs and praised: "This idea is really good, those Australians sent their families to the battlefield, I am afraid that they will not be killed and will not think that they will be used by us in the end, and all the labor force will be expelled, and there is no way for them to leave if they don't leave." ”

"Yes, Chen Ping and Zhong Wenyao have already rushed to deal with the rest of the matter, Australia will temporarily implement military control, and when the migration of Chinese in Northwest Australia begins, the domestic immigrants will also pass, two or three more years, there will be our people!"

"Why wait two or three years to directly announce the annexation of Australia into our country, anyway, even if you don't immigrate, as long as you move people away, the Chinese in Northwest Australia alone account for half!" Long Guozhang shouted excitedly, as if he was not satisfied with waiting for two or three years, and was a little impatient.

"It's that simple." Rong Kui waved his hand at Long Guozhang and said with a smile: "What about international pressure? It's okay for you to become a colony now under military control, but if you are directly incorporated into the country, do you know how many people you will offend? ”

"What then! Could it be that after a fight, he only got a colony after all his efforts?! Hearing this, Long Guozhang jumped up, what he hated in his life was politics, so when he heard the words of the speaker, he immediately jumped up excitedly, according to his temper, he didn't wrap half of the world around, which was already polite!

If nothing else, the ore of Northwest Australia alone already occupies half of China's imports, and if it is ruled in a loose colonial way, it will be fine now, but what about a few decades from now?!

"Don't worry, listen to me." Tang Shaoyi said with a smile: "Most of the first batch of immigrants are military families, according to our estimates, Australia will maintain 300,000 troops in the next 5 years at least, if the families of these soldiers pass, then it is equivalent to moving more than a million people, plus Australia is not a deserted place in the northwest, many people in the country are looking at where the land allocation, we will use the land to exchange for part of the war bonds that were sold after the war, which can not only ease the pressure of government loan repayment, but also speed up the immigration process."

I estimate that in three more years, the total number of Chinese in Australia will reach about 5 million, and then we can follow what the emperor said, take advantage of the opportunity of their nostalgia for their homeland, and hold a referendum to make the people on Australian soil "free and democratic"! ”

"Oh my God, it's poisonous!"

Xue Muhua followed Long Guozhang with wide eyes, he deserved to be a veteran of playing politics, even if the immigrants had some overseas ideas within five years, as long as Hua himself did not make trouble, the older generation would definitely still have their hearts towards the empire, plus nearly a million loyal military and family members, at least more than 8 percent of the people in the referendum would agree to annex Australia into the empire, and no one would be able to say a word at that time!

Because, this is the decision of the Australian people! ”

"Democracy, sure ......, fuck it!" The two commanders were dark in their hearts, but they couldn't help but be proud in the corners of their eyes, not to mention that compared with Australia, there was only the latter goal left in their hearts at this time!

Seeing that the two major commanders of the military nodded, Tang Shaoyi also breathed a sigh of relief, and let the people decide that it must be a bit risky, but this is a good way to defuse international pressure, so he hurriedly said to Yan Fu: "Mr. Yan, you have suffered for the past 5 years." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Prime Minister, 5 years later, as long as Yan Fu does not die, I will definitely return a complete 6 provinces of Australia to my country!" In Yan Fu's confident laughter, Long Guozhang and Xue Muhua also knew that Yan Fu would become the first governor of Australia, with this old minister in charge, unless he was the first to defect from China, or Australia would be merged into the empire, that is, three fingers to pinch the snail, nine out of ten stable!

"Ladies and gentlemen." Tang Shaoyi is worthy of being the prime minister for nearly 7 years, and he already has enough prestige when he waves his hand, and when he saw that everyone was quiet, his face gradually became solemn: "Let everyone come today mainly for one thing." ”

Tang Shaoyi took out a few telegrams from the table, first handed them to Rong Kuo, and said: "Yesterday, I officially received telegrams from the United States, Britain, France, Spain and other countries, and the special envoy of the President of the United States, Colonel Edward House, has arrived in Hawaii, and it is expected to arrive in more than ten days!" ”

"Truce? US envoys! ”

When everyone's eyes widened, Tang Shaoyi nodded seriously: "They promised that if we promised to end the war and withdraw from the alliance, India could be handed over to our jurisdiction, and the Grand Fleet shrunk in India will also be delivered to us as an indemnity!" ”

"Hiss......."

In the conference room, there was a gasp of cold air, it is not surprising to hand over India to China for management, the Entente will definitely withdraw from the Indian Peninsula after the war, but it is not a simple matter to make a fleet as an indemnity!

In particular, Britain, as the former world's super-maritime empire, would rather sink itself than hand over its warships to the enemy, and now doing so is simply a slap in the face of the whole world!

This is tantamount to recognizing the absolute maritime rights of the Empire!

"Panama and the Suez Canal, and Madagascar!"

Long Guozhang grabbed the important part with one word, if there were no these three places, the empire would not have completely controlled the two oceans, so there is this question.

Tang Shaoyi nodded secretly, and said that Commander Long was open-mouthed, but his mind was actually more detailed than anyone else, but this guy knew how to advance and retreat, so he immediately said: "The Suez Canal will be jointly managed by Oss, Britain and our country, Panama will be jointly managed by the United States and us, and as for the island of Madagascar, France said that as long as we no longer support Germany, we can give it to us!" ”

"Big, definitely big!"

Liang Dunyan and several ministers couldn't help but be moved by this proposal, if according to this distribution agreement, Hua will not need to waste a single shot to gain control of the world's two oceans, and even radiate the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, but there is a crucial problem in this!

Germany!

This agreement is almost a complete betrayal of Germany!

Although everyone knows that if the alliance wins, Germany and China will inevitably become antagonists from partners, and may not necessarily form a military confrontation, but there are too many irreconcilable places in terms of economy and diplomacy, but what if Britain and the United States fail to make an appointment?

If Germany fails, then with the industrial capacity of Britain and the United States, which has not yet suffered heavy losses, give them a few years to develop, and the war will inevitably break out again, and then Germany will be angry because of the betrayal, and maybe join the British and American camp!

"What does the emperor mean?" Tan Sitong thought about it and then broke the sinking.

"The emperor is in Huludao, he said ......." Tang Shaoyi said: "It's up to us to decide! ”

"I disagree!" Long Guozhang was the first to stand up, and before he could continue, Xue Muhua also stood up and shook his head and said: "No way, it's okay to surrender, at least I have to wait until I blow up most of the American factories and hit the industrial capacity hard!" ”

"Yes, if you want to surrender, you can hand over all the gold reserves of the three countries, hand over South Africa, hand over the islands of Panama and Madagascar, and move all the factories as reparations! Otherwise, I'll get it myself! ”

"Puff ......" Liang Dunyan knocked down headlong, these two commanders are really ......, no wonder the emperor is relieved to hand over the navy and air force to them.

However, it is indeed not a good idea to have a truce now, especially when the Entente has not yet reached despair, not to mention that these conditions obviously make the military very dissatisfied, so even Rong Yu shook his head and exchanged the telegram to Tang Shaoyi.

Laughing: "It's too early! ”
