"30% is enough?" Andrew. Jackson asked, "Isn't the Ming Navy very strong?" We have three percent of their capital ships to win? ”

"Mr. President," said Secretary of the Navy John Brown. Blanche shook his head and said, "Actually, raising the size of our capital ship to 30% of the size of the Ming Dynasty is already a rather difficult goal to achieve. All of our large shipyards are running at full capacity, and it is not always possible. ”

"What, Da Ming is so powerful?" Andrew. Jackson's lanky old face was full of consternation.

"The industrial strength of the Ming Dynasty is indeed beyond our reach," said John. "Their combined industrial strength may be fifteen to twenty times our own," Blanche said.

"So much worse?" Andrew. Although Jackson knew that Daming Industry was very strong, no one had ever evaluated the industrial strength gap between Daming and the United States, so he was a president from the Army, and he did not know that the gap between the two was so big.

"Pretty much that many" said Secretary of State Martin Brown. Van Buren explained, "The Ming Dynasty was six to seven times as strong as the British. However, the gap between the Ming and the United Kingdom in the shipbuilding industry is not so big. Last year, the two countries were about the same tonnage of shipbuilding, so we still have a chance to beat the Ming Dynasty. ”

"How to beat?" The President of the United States asked.

John. Blanche said: "Mr. President, the British have a plan. It's a plan for victory drawn up with us. ”

He didn't go on here, but looked at Andrew. Jackson. Because he knew that the American president participated in the anti-British revolution at the age of 13 and later became a hero of the Second American Revolution.

This is an out-and-out anti-British president!

"Say it!" Andrew. Jackson said, "There are no eternal enemies in the world. If we can't stop the Ming invasion of the Americas, especially the east coast of the Americas, then our United States will never have a chance to stand on top of the world!

If we want to make America great, we must defeat the Yellow Peril! ”

"Mr. President," said John. "The plan we made with the British was to unite more Western countries and build a navy together against the Ming Dynasty," Blanche said.

We, the United States, strive to increase the size of the capital ship to 30% of the Ming Dynasty, the goal of Britain and India is to increase the scale of the capital ship to 60% of the Ming Dynasty, France's industrial strength is about the same as ours, and the scale of the capital ship can also be increased to 30% of the Ming Dynasty, and Austria and Prussia together can also reach 30% of the Ming Dynasty.

If the United States can unite with Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, India, and perhaps the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and other countries to unite against the Ming Dynasty, then maybe we can come up with a capital ship equivalent to 1.5 times the size of the Ming capital ship or even more!

At least in numbers, we can have a huge advantage! ”

In fact, the plan formulated by the US Admiralty and the British Admiralty together is still feasible. However, 1.5 times that of the Ming Dynasty is not realistic, because the industry of the Ming Dynasty accounts for more than half of the scale of the world's industry!

However, with the joint efforts of such a large number of countries, it is still expected to raise the scale of capital ships to the level equivalent to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is only comparable in quantity, not in quality.

"Can we unite so many countries?" Andrew. Jackson scratched his head, "How did I hear that the Bourbon dynasty in France and the Ming dynasty were extremely close?" ”

"Mr. President," said Secretary of State Martin. Van Buren said, "British Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel believed that the public opinion of France was the choice of the Bourbons, who opposed the Yellow Peril, and could not refuse the public opinion in the end. He also hoped that we, the United States, would send a delegation to the Vienna Peace Conference and accuse the Ming and Japanese invasion of Texas at the Peace Conference! ”

"But Texas is Mexican territory." Andrew. Does Jackson know who Texas is?

"Mr. President," Martin. Van Buren shook his head and said, "Texas is white land!" ”

Actually Texas is the land of the Indians. It still is!

There are only a few hundred thousand whites and yellows living in Texas combined, and the number of Indians there is far more than that.

Van Buren said: "In the minds of Europeans, the whole of America belonged to the white people, including New Manchuria, which was controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and Western South Luzon were the natural spheres of influence of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in Malaya is difficult for the whole of Europe to feel the threat of the Yellow Peril. But as soon as the Europeans realized that the New World was also the target of the Yellow Peril, then they would immediately unite and side with the British Empire and we, the United States. ”

The words of this US Secretary of State make sense! Although it had been many years since the Europeans conquered British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies and Western South Luzon, few of those areas were actually too hot and too far from Europe, so East and Southeast Asia were always the absolute majority.

Therefore, white Europeans were mentally prepared for the loss of British Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and Western South Luzon, and it was easier for them to accept the defeat of whites there.

But in the minds of Europeans, the New World always belonged to them, not to the Oriental races!

"Good!" Andrew. Jackson nodded, "All the whites unite, this is exactly what we need!" No matter how strong the Ming is, it is impossible to defeat all white countries, and as long as we can join forces with other white countries in the world to defeat the Ming Dynasty, we can make America great! ”

The American president puffed out his chest and looked at his secretary of state with blazing eyes, "Martin, I order you to go to Vienna in person and appeal on behalf of the American people to the white compatriots in Europe, so that they can unite against the Yellow Peril and against the invasion of the white New World by the evil yellow empire of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Pearl Harbor, Kingdom of Hawaii.

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this turbulence is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is naturally suitable for the existence of the home port of the Grand Fleet, and it is now a huge construction site.

The construction of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base began on the day the Kingdom of Hawaii changed its surname to Zhu. Until the arrival of the Ming Pacific Fleet, the work was still not over.

However, the Pearl Harbor naval base is already beginning to take shape. Wharves, docks, warehouses, batteries, towers, airfields, camps, coal bunkers, oil depots, naval yards, and naval command centers have all risen from the ground. At the same time, there are many more buildings, which are under intense construction.

Standing on the top floor of the Pacific Fleet's naval command center building, looking into the harbor, you can only see large and small ships scattered in the harbor, arranged in rows according to different ship types. The steel hull, painted in a protective color, exudes an aura that sends chills down the shoulders of all enemies in the Hawaiian sun.

As the admiral of this large fleet, Zhuge Weidao was not only excited at this time, but also looked forward to the victory of the war and the Ming World Empire.

"Junmen," the voice of Huang Shuren, chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet, suddenly sounded in Zhuge Weidao's ears, "I just received a telegram from Texas Haizi...... They have arrived in Puerto de La Guaira, Republic of Colombia.

In addition, the Texas Navy Command also submitted an operational plan for the attack on Norfolk Military Port and requested military approval. ”

"Attack on Norfolk Military Harbor?" Zhuge Weidao didn't seem too surprised, it seemed that everything had been expected by him, "That's it?" Anything else? ”

"Military," Huang Shuren laughed, "Isn't it enough to attack Norfolk?" It was the base camp of the U.S. Navy. ”

"Of course not enough!" Zhuge shook his head for Dao, "If you don't do it, you won't stop it...... Since they want to blow up Norfolk, let's blow up Wall Street by the way! ”

"Wall Street?" Huang Shuren was stunned, "Where?" ”

"New York, the Manhattan of New York!"
