    "What qualifications does Lieutenant General Edward Able have to issue an order? Why didn't General William Benson stop him?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt looked at Secretary Meyer sternly.  Although, under the threat of the Chinese Navy's main fleet and aircraft, surrendering to the Chinese Navy will help save the lives of tens of thousands of American youths.  However, giving twenty battleships and a large number of advanced warships to the Chinese still made Theodore.  President Roosevelt was very dissatisfied. You must know that these warships were built only after the US government tightened its belt!

    "Your Excellency, President! Admiral William Benson had already died at that time! After seeing no hope of victory, Admiral William Benson locked himself in the bridge of the battleship Ohio, and then sank into the Atlantic Ocean with the battleship.  Among them!" Minister Meyer replied!

    "Uh!" This time, Theodore.  President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Elihu.  Root was speechless.  In William.  After General Benson was killed, Chief of Staff Edward.  Vice Admiral Abor became the supreme commander of the fleet, and he had the power to make what he thought was the most beneficial choice based on the situation at the time.  At that time, Edward.  Lieutenant General Abor already believed that the U.S. Navy had no hope of victory, so he surrendered to the Chinese Navy.  However, this choice ruined the hope of the United States.  To be precise, after the failure of the US Navy, the United States has no hope!  The only hope of the United States has been shattered. After the Chinese Navy has achieved a major victory, I am afraid that the Chinese Navy will soon appear on the east coast of the United States!  The Chinese Army will definitely continue to advance into the hinterland of the United States, and the United States is about to face the biggest crisis!

    "Okay! Let's not talk about this now. No matter what, the navy has failed! This will be a disaster for the United States. It is time for us to think about how to save the United States! Miss Catherine, please inform everyone  Cabinet members, come to the White House immediately and hold an emergency meeting!" Theodore.  President Roosevelt picked up the phone on his desk and said to the secretary outside the office!

    ¡°Okay, Your Excellency, President!¡± The gentle voice of the beautiful brown-haired secretary sounded from the microphone.  It¡¯s just that Theodore now.  President Roosevelt no longer had the heart to pay attention to these things, and his mind had already become a mess.  The United States will lose completely in this war. This is inevitable!  So, what else can be done to save the United States now?  This is Theodore.  It¡¯s time for President Roosevelt and senior officials of the U.S. government to worry!

    After making the phone call, Theodore.  President Roosevelt fell into deep thought.  This time, the United States has no capital to continue fighting with the Chinese.

    The main force of the navy has been completely wiped out, and the army has also been beaten by the Chinese, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.  Under such circumstances, the United States can no longer continue the war.  If it had been before, before the Chinese army entered the United States, the U.S. government would have already extended an olive branch to China and begged for peace!  Only this time, China has made it clear through other channels that it will not accept the surrender of the United States unless the United States surrenders unconditionally and allows China to slaughter it.  Otherwise, the iron heel of the Chinese military will completely destroy the United States, then ravage the United States wantonly, and deal with the United States according to China's wishes.  Such conditions are unacceptable to the U.S. government. They are willing to compensate China for war losses, but they hope to continue to exist as an independent country. In this case, no matter how great the losses they pay, the United States still has  The opportunity to rise again. It is precisely because China has seen the threat to China after the rise of the United States that it has tried every possible means to destroy the United States and completely resolve this threat. And now it seems that the Chinese people's goal is about to be achieved.  !

    In less than half an hour, all cabinet members of the U.S. government rushed to the White House.  However, after entering Theodore.  After President Roosevelt's office, the senior cabinet officials who originally had smiles on their faces felt the depressive atmosphere in the office and had no choice but to say nothing more and keep their mouths shut!

    "Your Excellency, what happened? Are there any changes on the front line?" Vice President Woodrow.  Wilson asked.

    "Your Excellency, Vice President, the situation is like this. The Department of the Navy has received the message from the fleet! Our fleet had a fierce battle with the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet in the Bahamas today. The fierce battle is now over! The U.S. Navy suffered a disastrous defeat.  Among the battleships, 1 was sunk and surrendered to the Chinese. The Chinese losses were minimal!" Theodore.  President Roosevelt said!

    "Oh God! How is this possible?" Exclaims of exclamation immediately rang out in the office.

    "Your Excellency, is this impossible? How can the Chinese defeat our fleet? Our battleships are much more than the Chinese! The Chinese want to completely annihilate our navy with only a tiny amount of power. This is fundamental??It's just impossible!  "Secretary of State William James Bryan asked!

    "Your Excellency Secretary of State, our navy has indeed been defeated! The Chinese dispatched hundreds of aircraft in this naval battle, and these aircraft easily sunk our battleships! All advanced battleships were defeated by the Chinese  After many people were sunk or severely damaged, and even the commander of the fleet, Admiral William Benson, was killed, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Edward Able, ordered the surrender to the Chinese in order to save the lives of tens of thousands of American youths!" Theodore.  President Roosevelt said.  Although he is unwilling to accept this reality, it is completely true!

    "Airplane, how could a Chinese plane appear in the Bahamas? There is no Chinese airport nearby? Have the Chinese developed a new type of plane? If the Chinese have such a powerful plane, I'm afraid Washington will  They are all within the bombing range of the Chinese!" Finance Minister William.  Gibbs.  McAdoo asked in surprise.

    "The Chinese planes cannot fly that far, but according to our estimation, the Chinese have developed a warship that can be used for aircraft to take off. The planes that bombed our fleet took off from these warships. Therefore, all this is  It was a trap set by the Chinese. They deliberately sent only a dozen capital ships to form an expeditionary fleet into the Atlantic Ocean, but secretly sent this secret warship to mix with the expeditionary fleet. After the naval battle began, they used aircraft to attack our capital ships.  .Although our capital ships are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons. But in actual combat, the role our anti-aircraft weapons can play is actually very small! Under the attack of Chinese aircraft, our capital ships have no way of fighting back.  The force was quickly sunk or severely damaged by Chinese aircraft!" said Navy Secretary Meyer!

    With the personal confirmation from Secretary of the Navy Meyer, this time everyone no longer doubted it. However, everyone still found it difficult to accept the news of the defeat of the US Navy.  Everyone is a smart person and knows what the defeat of the Navy means to the United States!

    "Your Excellency, now that the Navy has failed, our attempts to defeat the Chinese or even keep the United States have become empty talk! What should we do now? What should we do about the future of the United States?" Vice President Woodrow.  Wilson asked.  If he was full of expectations for the position of president before, now he doesn't want to be with Theodore at all.  Roosevelt scrambled.  After all, this position is not easy to sit in now. Once the United States is defeated or even destroyed by China, the president will definitely become the target of attack by all Americans!

    "Your Excellency, Vice President, do you have any suggestions?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt asked.

    "Mr. Root, is the Army capable of resisting the Chinese attack?" Woodrow.  Vice President Wilson asked.

    "Your Excellency, Vice President, in the war of more than a year ago, it has been proved that the army is no match for the Chinese! Now the navy has also failed, which is a devastating blow to the morale of the army! Therefore, the army estimates that  Nor can we withstand the Chinese attack!" Secretary of War Elihu.  Root said bluntly.

    "So, that is to say, if we continue to resist, the United States will also be destroyed! Mr. President, if this is the case, then there is no use for us to continue to resist! I think it is time for us to admit defeat to the Chinese  , it¡¯s time to negotiate with the Chinese and strive for a dignified end!¡± Woodrow.  Vice President Wilson said!

    "Negotiate with the Chinese? If the Chinese are willing to negotiate with us, that would be the best. However, I am afraid that the Chinese will not accept our good intentions and want to destroy the United States!" Theodore.  President Roosevelt said.  He doesn't know why the Chinese emperor is so wary of the United States. He has been against the United States since more than ten years ago, weakening the United States through war after war, and now he is even trying to completely destroy the United States.  .  And, it looks like it will succeed!

    "What the Chinese want is nothing but benefits! No matter how big the benefits are, we still have to negotiate with the Chinese. Anyway, at this point in the war, we have no chance of winning. In this case, we might as well ask the Chinese as soon as possible  Surrender and avoid more bloodshed!" Vice President Woodrow.  Wilson insisted!

    "Okay, what do you think?" Theodore.  President Roosevelt looked at the other cabinet members.  If the Chinese can accept the bottom line of the United States and allow the United States to continue to exist as an independent country, it is not unfeasible for the United States to admit defeat and withdraw from this war, no matter how high the price is paid!
