    Under Generals Pershing, Davis, and Payton.  While Lieutenant General March was still thinking about how to reduce the losses of the US military, preserve the strength of the US Army as much as possible, and reserve enough troops for continued operations in the future, the entire United States had already fallen out because San Antonio was captured by the Chinese Army.  Oh my god.  San Antonio is one of the important cities in the southern United States. Although it cannot be compared with big cities such as New York and Washington, it is the first important American city to be captured by the Chinese.  This immediately aroused Americans' dissatisfaction with the government and military.  In order to resist the Chinese attack, a large number of American men enlisted in the army. At the beginning, they were still young people, but now they have expanded to teenagers and middle-aged people. If further failure continues, wouldn't it mean that all American men will be sent to the army?  Entering the battlefield?

    Americans fleeing San Antonio began to spread news of the U.S. military's disastrous defeat.  Moreover, anyone with a little bit of brains knows what kind of blow this will have on the Rio Grande defense line after the fall of San Antonio.  Suddenly, the entire American society was in turmoil.

    In Washington, tens of thousands of protesters gathered in front of the White House. Most of these people were women, and there were many elderly people and children.  They were very angry at the repeated failures of the US military, believing that the government was sending their relatives to hell.  Some radical people even directly shouted out Theodore.  Roosevelt's slogan was to get out of the White House, negotiate peace with the Chinese, and end the war.  Others directly shouted the slogan that the United States cannot become the second Paraguay.  Half a century ago, the small South American country Paraguay went to war with Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay at the same time.  The final result, without any surprise, was that Paraguay, with a population of just over one million, suffered a disastrous defeat.  Moreover, out of the 1.2 million people in the country, after the war, only 30,000 men and 190,000 women remained.  The rest were all killed in the battle or killed by Brazilian, Argentine and Uruguayan soldiers who invaded Paraguay.  The ongoing war between China and the United States seems to be developing in this direction.  A large number of American men were sent to the battlefield and then killed by the Chinese.  In the end, will all the men in the United States die and only the women will be left?  The angry people did not want to see such a thing happen, so they asked the government to find a way. If the Chinese cannot be defeated, then it is best to end the war as soon as possible!

    ¡°It¡¯s just that the thoughts of the top leaders of the U.S. government are naturally different from those of ordinary people.  The people will only consider their own interests, but they, the elites of American society, need to consider the national interests of the United States.  As for how to face China's invasion, it seems that there is no need to think too much.  The United States must continue to fight, because including Theodore.  Everyone including Roosevelt knew that this time the Chinese also fought this war with the goal of completely destroying the United States. Suing for peace had no effect on the United States.  If they don't want the United States to be destroyed, then they must fight this war.  However, the current performance of the U.S. Army really makes them feel very embarrassed.  The Army's disastrous defeats again and again severely damaged the confidence of the top leaders of the U.S. government.  And this time San Antonio was captured by the Chinese army, which shocked them even more.

    Theodore.  President Roosevelt lowered the curtains in his office. The protesting crowd outside the White House made him feel very uncomfortable.

    Although he believes that after becoming the president of the United States again, he has always considered the interests of the United States.  But the current situation seems to be different from what he expected!  To put it more seriously, it seems that now is the time when the life and death of the United States is related!

    At this moment, in Theodore.  In President Roosevelt's office, all members of the U.S. government cabinet gathered here. In addition, there was also Army Chief of Staff Leonard.  Admiral Wood.  However, at this moment Leonard.  Admiral Wood's face was very ugly. He seemed to feel that everyone's eyes were focused on him, which made him feel ashamed from the bottom of his heart.  and Leonard.  Like General Wood, Secretary of War Elihu.  Root was also very ashamed.  The U.S. Army's carefully constructed Rio Grande defense line was now like this, and the U.S. Army was about to suffer its most disastrous defeat in history.  All of this was very difficult for him to accept.

    "Everyone, everyone has seen that a large number of people have gathered outside the White House to protest. I believe that in addition to Washington, there are many such protests in major cities across the United States. People demand that we end the war as soon as possible.  But do you think the Chinese will give us a chance to sue for peace?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt said.  There was a trace of mockery on his face.  Ordinary people may think that if the war is lost, then it is enough to admit defeat. At the worst, they can just pay some compensation to the Chinese.  After all, the previous failures were all like this.  However, they, the senior leaders of the US government, knew that this was not going to be that simple.  !

    "Your Excellency the President,it's out of the question.  The Chinese will not agree to our request for peace.  They will never give us this opportunity.  The ambitious emperor of China wanted to control the world.  And we, the United States, have posed a huge threat to China, so China has launched wars against us again and again to curb our development.  And now, the Chinese want to get rid of us once and for all.  And, it seems they are about to succeed.  There is reason to believe that as long as the threat from the United States to China is not eliminated, the Chinese will not let us go!  " Secretary of State William James Bryan said.

    Everyone agrees with Secretary of State Bryan¡¯s point of view. If they can become cabinet members of the US government, they are definitely not fools.  The root causes of the confrontation between China and the United States are also very clear.  China and the United States are both world powers, and there is only the Pacific Ocean between them.  With the development of science and technology, the vast Pacific Ocean can no longer stop human beings.  The conflict of interests between China and the United States will also become more and more serious.  This can be concluded after the Chinese took away the Hawaiian Islands from the United States more than ten years ago.  However, in the subsequent confrontation between China and the United States, the Chinese had the absolute upper hand, beating the United States to the ground again and again.  However, even so, China has never relaxed its vigilance against the United States.  China's population is several times that of the United States, but its industrial strength is not as good as that of the United States.  Therefore, it is simply impossible for China to dominate the world without eliminating the United States.  Therefore, only one major country can exist between China and the United States.  This is also the essence of this war between China and the United States.  But now it seems that the probability of the United States' defeat has reached more than 70%!

    "If everyone agrees with this point of view, then it will be impossible to achieve peace talks between us and the Chinese! Then, there is only one way before us, and that is to continue the war.

    However, the difficulty we face now is that the army seems unable to withstand the Chinese attack!  The Chinese are about to invade the heart of the United States, our cities will be turned into ruins, and our people will be killed or enslaved by the Chinese!  " said President Theodore Roosevelt.

    "Your Excellency, even so, we must persevere. Although the Army's defeat is inevitable, as long as the Chinese cannot capture the entire United States within two months, we still have a chance. The U.S. Navy has already  We are ready for battle. As long as we can defeat the Chinese navy, we can reverse the current unfavorable situation. Even if it is no good, at least we can win a decent peace!" Vice President Woodrow.  Wilson said.  Although the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are enemies, both parties have the same views on the national interests of the United States.  For the United States, it seems that it has become a delusion to completely defeat China due to continuous failures on the frontline battlefield.  The U.S. government has also had to lower its expectations for the future. If the U.S. Navy can defeat or severely damage the Chinese Navy, then the U.S. may be able to use this opportunity to engage in peace talks with China and end the war as soon as possible.  Although this may cost the United States a great price, as long as the United States can survive as an independent country, with its strong industrial strength, they will definitely have a chance to rise.  This is also the view of these senior government leaders.

    "Secretary Meyer, is the Navy ready?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt asked.

    "Your Excellency, the U.S. Navy is ready for battle. All capital ships have completed maintenance and are ready for a decisive battle with the Chinese at any time! However, the prerequisite is that the Army can hold Washington before we have a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy!"  Secretary of the Navy Meyer looked disdainfully at Secretary of War Elihu.  Root glanced.

    "Secretary Meyer, don't worry. Although the army is about to suffer a disastrous defeat this time, it is impossible for the Chinese to reach Washington!" Secretary of War Elihu.  Root said with a look of shame and anger.

    "Secretary Root, I also think that the Army can hold on for two months or even longer. However, if the Army continues to hand over the troops to the command of people like General Pershing, it may be difficult to say. General Pershing  He has lost several battles in succession, but he is still one of the top commanders of the U.S. Army. I am very confused about this. Shouldn't such generals be punished? Or maybe the Army, except for Pershing, no longer has the qualifications  Commander?" Minister Meyer said again.

    "I also agree to severely punish General Pershing. Someone must be responsible for this fiasco, and we must give an explanation to the people!" Vice President Woodrow.  Wilson also echoed!
