The sharp deterioration of the situation in World War I has plunged the White House into deep trouble.

In the Oval Office

President Roosevelt's face looked ten years old, he looked at the front page headline of the New York Times on his desk, his eyes shrank as if burned, and he unfolded the newspaper slowly;

A president who took America to purgatory ~ Theodore Roosevelt.

The report went to great lengths to smear and slander, blaming President Roosevelt for all the blame for the destruction of the Great White Fleet, accusing him of directly causing the death of tens of thousands of heroic U.S. Navy soldiers, and the unprecedented crisis in the United States, which should not have happened.

This is a critical period for the presidential campaign, and the Democratic Party should be directly responsible for the defeat of the Navy, for the reckless waging of war, and for putting the United States in an extremely dangerous situation.

The tone of news and public opinion was extremely unfavorable to President Roosevelt, and all kinds of negative reports were overwhelming......

Accusing him of being a Dutch-American with a congenital hostility to the Ocean Empire was the root cause of all this tragedy.

Accuse him of being bloodthirsty and belligerent in his bones, like a stupid gorilla with glasses, who doesn't know how to end up after overturning the pot?

Accusing him of meddling in military command, and repeatedly sending the main fleet of the US Navy to the mouth of the enemy, he has achieved the current glory of the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire, but he has buried the future of the US Navy.

Accusing him of being a war maniac and an indiscriminate gambler, he did so during the Spanish-American War, and after the outbreak of the "wool crisis" in a hurry, he hurriedly joined the war and tried to gamble again, only to hit his head on the iron plate of the ocean empire, and his head was bleeding.

As an emerging power in the world, the Ocean Empire is far from being comparable to the cowardice of Spain.

accused him of wetting the bed when he was a child, peeking at the maid taking a bath, snatching erasers and pencils from female classmates when he was in school, and raising four dogs after he got married, and developing a consistently domineering and extreme personality......

The little confidence of the people, which had been condensed with great difficulty, was shattered and withered by the fiasco of the Seattle naval battle.

The terrible news of the landing of the Royal Army on Eugene Beach quickly detonated a great panic on the east and west coasts, with the stock market plummeting, prices skyrocketing, and residents hoarding things like crazy, detonating riots in cities large and small, from Detroit to Philadelphia, which also destroyed the last bit of hope for Roosevelt's re-election campaign.

He knows; His political career was completely ruined.

In the smooth development of Citigroup, there are many hidden contradictions that are enough to divide society, and once the real enemy destroys the confidence of the United States, these hidden contradictions will explode in an instant, and the future troubles will be increasingly revealed.

It's like a broken and glued vase, the cracks look beautiful when glazed with a layer of glaze, and over time, through a long and careful restoration, it may become a cohesive work of art, exuding a brilliant light.

And the hammer of the ocean empire played a role in shattering the social structure of the United States.

Looking back at the initial establishment of the Citi Nation on July 4, 1776, the North American colonies declared their independence from British colonial rule under Washington's leadership. To become a free and independent nation, and the 13 states together form the United States of America.

At this time, Citigroup's territory was limited to the area of 13 states on the Atlantic coast of North America, about 800,000 square kilometers, and after the seven-year Revolutionary War, Britain recognized the independence of Citigroup and reluctantly gave up this rebel.

From 1789 onwards

The federal government of Citigroup embarked on a path of territorial expansion, especially the massacre and plundering of the indigenous Indians, who were reduced from 10 million to less than 30,000.

At the end of the 18th century, when Napoleon swept through Europe, Citigroup began its third expansion.

In 1803, President Jefferson sent a special envoy to France to negotiate with Napoleon, taking advantage of the European anti-French alliance and the French economic recession to put great pressure on Napoleon, and bought more than 2.6 million square kilometers of land in Louisiana for $15 million (3 cents per acre).

The Frenchman, in his view, was "a real robbery" deal that put Citigroup on the rise to the top of the great powers.

Just one year later, in 1804, the Citigroup government made territorial claims to the Spanish government through the so-called "Morbi Act".

The two sides began negotiations, and in 1808, due to the defeat of Spain by Napoleon, Citi sent troops to occupy the Spanish colony of Florida,

He then struck while the iron was hot, defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1812-1814, encroaching on West Florida and its surrounding territories.

In 1819, Citigroup bought more than 150,000 square kilometers of Florida from Spain for $5 million.

By this time. Citi Nation's territory covers more than 4.6 million square kilometers, equivalent to half the current territory.

After eating and squeezing the Spaniards dry, Citigroup Garden set its sights on Mexico.

In 1846, war broke out between the United States and Mexico over a territorial dispute.

Without the slightest suspense, the war ended in the complete defeat of Mexico, and Citigroup succeeded again.

Mexico forever gave up its claim to 1.01 million square kilometers of Texas, and expanded to include California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and other western regions, with a total of 1.37 million square kilometers of land ceded to the U.S. government, and the territory of the United States reached more than 600 million kilometers at this time

Not only that, in 1853, Citigroup also bought Arizona from the Mexican government for more than $10 million in the name of building a railroad, and by this time, Mexico has lost 55% of its territorial area.

Mexicans lament; Too far from God, too close to Citi Country.

By the beginning of the 20th century, Citigroup was a powerful power that crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and occupied half of the North American continent.

As of 1908, Citi had 49 states (including Alaska, excluding Hawaii) and 4 overseas territories (Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, excluding Guam, which was owned by the Oceanic Empire).

Isn't this process of expansion and swallowing very similar to the process of gluing porcelain piece by piece?

The door slammed

White House Chief of Staff Dawn pushed the door in with a heavy face, and saw the president sitting behind the desk as if he had lost his mind, so he walked over and looked at the "New York Times" on the table, closed it casually, pressed it on the top of the newspaper with one hand, and said; "Don't be distracted by these barking dogs, Mr. President, we have to face tough times."

"Everything is terrible, what bad news can there be?"

"Uh...... Yes, Mr. President. ”

"Come on, Daun, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if you told me it was the end of the world. I have done everything I can for this country, but I have received a flood of abuse and loss of reputation, and I can't expect everyone to be satisfied, but at least there must be a fair evaluation, which is my right. ”

Speaking of which

President Roosevelt looked pleading, disappointed at the constipation on Dwayne's face, and suddenly remembered the topic just now, so he continued sullenly; "Tell me, what's the bad news?"

"Mr. President, your puppy Billy ran out of the South Lawn of the White House and was thrown to death by an angry crowd of demonstrators, and the White House guards only had time to retrieve Billy's body."

"Oh God, it's cruel. Edith will surely blame me for this, and I'll have to put up with her nagging for the rest of the years. Forget it, if you die, you will die, and I don't eat dog meat. ”

"Mr. President, the results of the general election are out, and we have lost."

"Shet, this is too bad, the despicable Democrat Woodrow Wilson has joined forces with the Ocean Kingdom to defeat me, he will never be blessed by me, by no means...... This nasty shameless. President Roosevelt seemed to have been triggered to the G-spot, instantly became excited, stood up and waved his hands and said endlessly;

"We're in the middle of a big hoax, Daune, and I suspect it's a game done by the Democrats in conjunction with the Ocean Empire, and they don't want to see me succeed and lead America into a glorious era.

Oh...... Oh, and the stinking Argentines.

In the upper classes of Citi Nation

I'm very sure of the speculators, the mercenary businessmen, the unscrupulous politicians and bitches who have betrayed the president and the Citigroup Navy for their own selfish gain.

Let's not forget that at the beginning of the war we had 22 battleships, and the other side had only 11 (in fact, 12, the battleship Tasmania had already been launched and outfitted), which is a huge advantage that cannot be erased.

On the west coast of North America, we have gathered an awe-inspiring and formidable naval force.

The facts are astonishing

I didn't see the bloody battles at sea, the perseverance that was glorious despite the defeat, the strength of the enemy, and the battle of the breakthrough turned into a rout, which eventually turned into a farce.

It makes me wonder if there is a sinister plot that I can't understand.

Other...... Don't stop me, such suspicions have been weighing on my heart for a long time, is it possible that Vice Admiral Dawn is a Democrat, and the Admiralty is full of filthy Democrats, who put partisan interests above national interests?

In order to defeat me, even at the expense of the Ocean Empire?

Do you think about it? ”

"Mr. President, please calm down, this kind of groundless accusation will not do any good, and it will not change anything, let's be reasonable, shall we?" Daun couldn't help it, and interrupted President Roosevelt's words with a remark.

President Roosevelt's face changed, and then he sat down in his chair weakly, as if his passionate speech had drained every ounce of strength in his body, and in the blink of an eye, he was idle again.

There was a pause

He looked up at Daun in surprise and asked; "What else?"

"Uh...... Mr. President, Salem, Portland, and Seattle fell. ”

"Oh, the ...... There are two divisions in Portland, 5 divisions in Seattle, and one division in Salem, with a total of more than 75,000 people in 8 divisions, and it has fallen in less than a week, even 75,000 pigs will not be defeated so quickly? ”

"It is true, Mr. President, according to the information reported from the front, Salem held out for half a day, Portland for seven hours, Seattle held out for less than a day before all were crushed, and the enemy's armored forces came like a tidal wave, drowning all resistance efforts. Combined with the duration of the march, 6 days and 5 hours to be exact, all major towns in Oregon and Washington fell. ”

"Oh, the ...... Shet, Shet, isn't California dangerous? ”

"This is the next bad news I want to tell you, the Royal Army of the Ocean Empire has landed in California, and now the troops are frantically sweeping through the important coastal towns in four directions, and the front line is about to collapse, and the situation has become even worse."

"Wow ......"

President Roosevelt sat down in his chair with his ass down, his heart was cold, he really didn't know how to clean up this mess in front of him?

Citigroup is the ancestor of the militia, with the militia won the War of Independence, won the Spanish, won the Mexicans, won the Civil War and won the Spanish-American War, how did it get vulnerable in front of the Ocean Empire Army, what the hell is this?

It's too difficult, I won't do it!

Roosevelt was a president with a deep knowledge of the Navy, fascinated by the history of the Navy and naval warfare from an early age, and both of his uncles served in the Union Navy during the Civil War.

In 1880, he became acquainted with Citigroup Navy Captain Mahan, who was deeply influenced by the latter, and repeatedly read the book "The Influence of Sea Power on the History of 1660-1783", and studied the relationship between sea power and the rise and fall of great powers, and the idea of sea power reinforced Roosevelt's belief that only a rapid expansion of naval power could be equal to the European powers.

During his presidency, he pushed Congress to approve the construction of 28 battleships (including 13 after the outbreak of war), 10 10,000-ton cruisers, and pushed for the Great White Fleet to make round-the-world visits......

Belch...... I won't mention it.

As for the Army, to be precise, Citigroup does not have an Army, only the Union Army.

Before 1908, the Union Army had only four divisions, one cavalry division and three infantry divisions, scattered in 17 states in infantry regiments and battalions.

President Roosevelt did not understand the tactics of the Army (the Union Army will not be mentioned below, all of them are summarized as the Army), and he did not attach importance to the Army in his heart, believing that this is a unit that relies entirely on muskets and crowd tactics, and has no gold content, which is the general perception of the current Citi Nation society.

With more than 300,000 army troops and more than 100,000 West Coast militia, according to the practice of the Civil War, how can they fight for a year or two?

How did you lose?

It is unbelievable that President Roosevelt could not comprehend the one-sided defeat of the Army.

Are armored tank cars really that powerful?
