Jagged Germany

Chapter 949: American attitude (seeking monthly ticket)

  Washington, the capital of the United States, the White House, President Woodrow Wilson is listening to the report. After being re-elected, President Woodrow Wilson felt deeply that his time was running out, and he had to fulfill his ideals during his tenure.

   In last year's election, Woodrow Wilson only defeated Republican candidate Charles Evans Hughes by a narrow margin. This undoubtedly shows that voters are not satisfied with President Woodrow Wilson's performance in the last term.

    Woodrow? Wilson is a very ambitious president. He hopes to lead the United States to truly become a world power, not just a regional power.

  Indeed, the United States today is far from being the superpower that can fight whoever it wants in future generations. They can barely be regarded as the overlord of America. This is mainly because there are no very powerful countries in the Americas, which allows the United States to dominate the American continent. If the United States does not have such a good geographical location, it is very difficult to say whether they can develop to this point.

"Your Excellency, the situation in Europe has become very tense now. The Austria-Hungary Empire officially announced its withdrawal from the Allies, which made Germany very dissatisfied. The German emperor has personally warned the Austria-Hungary Empire and asked them to withdraw their decision within three days. Otherwise, the Germans would have taken military action," Secretary of State Blaine said.

Woodrow Wilson nodded and seemed very satisfied: "Very well, if Europe becomes chaotic, it will be of great benefit to us. Our enemies are so powerful that we want to defeat them , very difficult. Therefore, we can only try our best to get enough development time for ourselves.”

  Woodrow Wilson President well aware of the disadvantages of the United States. Although the population of the United States exceeds that of Germany, its industrial output value temporarily exceeds that of Germany. However, in terms of advanced technology and technology, there is still a big gap between the United States and Germany. Even the United Kingdom, which was exiled to Canada, also brought a lot of advanced technology. However, it will take time for these advanced technologies to be absorbed and digested by the United States, and to further develop new technologies on this basis. What America lacks most right now is time.

  Germany is occupying the colonies left by Britain, and at the same time absorbing and digesting northern France and Belgium, as well as the Eastern European Plains ceded by Russia. It can be said that the strength of Germany is growing every day, and the gap between the United States and Germany is also constantly widening. If it can't cause trouble for Germany and slow down their development, it is almost impossible for the United States to surpass Germany in the future and defeat Germany in a war. That's why President Woodrow Wilson actively wooed Austria-Hungary, causing war between Germany and Austria-Hungary. All of this is to enable Germany to fall into the quagmire of war, so as to buy more time for the United States to develop.

   "Your Excellency, it is expected that the war between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will break out soon. At that time, do we really want to fulfill the agreement and send troops to Europe?" War Minister Garrison asked.

"Whether you want to send troops to Europe, we will see the situation at the time! Although, we promised the Austro-Hungarian Empire that if they can hold out for a month, our troops will appear in Europe. However, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire fights very It’s so bad, if we can’t resist the German attack at all, then is it necessary for us to send troops to Europe? In that case, we will completely let our boys die.” President Woodrow Wilson said with a smile.

  The reason why he agreed to Karl I to send troops to Europe was just to make Karl I feel at ease. Otherwise, how could Karl I foolishly agree to fight against Germany? In fact, this is simply a hole dug by the Americans for Karl I. Karl I himself jumped in.

  Of course, if the Austrian army's performance on the battlefield is indeed amazing and resists the German attack, the United States does not mind taking the opportunity to declare war on Germany. In this case, not only can troops be sent to **** the colonies that Germany has just occupied, but perhaps troops can also be sent to Europe to assist the Austro-Hungarian Empire in defeating Germany.

   It's just that, Woodrow? President Wilson thinks this possibility is too small. With the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, no matter how you look at it, it does not seem to be able to defeat the German Empire.

"Your Excellency, once Germany attacks the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Army may not be able to resist it. However, the Austro-Hungarian Navy has a lot of advantages in the Mediterranean Sea. Now, the Austro-Hungarian Navy has a total of Sixteen battleships, including four 'United Force-class' battleships and four 'Austro-Hungarian Sovereign-class' battleships built by themselves. In addition, eight battleships were bought when Germany sold capital ships. In this way The strength of the German Navy is already stronger than the Mediterranean Fleet of the German Navy. But if the German Navy mobilizes other fleets for reinforcements, the Austro-Hungarian Navy is probably not the opponent of the Germans. However, this will also make the German Navy more powerful in other sea areas. The strength is severely weakened. For example, in the Atlantic Ocean, if the German Navy's home fleet enters the Mediterranean Sea, then only the Atlantic Fleet will be left. The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet has only seven capital ships. And our strength is far stronger than that of Germany Navy. If there is a chance, maybe we can eat Germany's Atlantic Fleet in one bite. In this case, we will have a greater advantage in the Atlantic Ocean." The Minister of the Navy suggested.

President Woodrow Wilson thought for a while, then nodded: "It depends! If the Austria-Hungary Empire behaves well, then we will cheat the Germans. If the Austria-Hungary Empire is vulnerable, then we should not Find trouble with the Germans. After all, the overall strength of the German navy is far stronger than ours. It would be very unwise to confront the German navy in advance when our capital ships are not fully in service."

   If there is a chance, President Woodrow Wilson certainly hopes that they can eat a fleet of the German Navy. In this case, at least the pressure on the US Navy in the Atlantic Ocean can be reduced a lot. Otherwise, the United States will have to continue to invest in the navy in order to be able to fight against the powerful German navy.

   "Your Excellency, the latest news is that the Germans have declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The German army has crossed the border and entered the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" the secretary reported.

   "Very well, gentlemen, the show has begun!" President Woodrow Wilson said with a smile.
