Chapter 64 We are going to have the main decisive battle!
San Francisco, USA
At this time, San Francisco, the United States has returned to its former peace. Although under the order of Roosevelt, the US Navy and Army stationed in San Francisco helped many local residents rescue their relatives and friends trapped in the sea of fire and ruins, the trauma caused by the war cannot be fully recovered in a short period of time.
Looking up, San Francisco ruins were all over the ground and were devastated. From time to time, you can see solemn survivors coming to the ruins to mourn those relatives and friends they lost in the last bombing. On the streets, some shops on the streets have begun to open, and there are more pedestrians on the streets.
Order can be restored in a short time, but the huge trauma in the heart takes a long time to heal
Every time Roosevelt saw this scene from his car, he always felt a sharp pain in his heart. The damage caused by war is too great, but this war has to be fought. If he doesn't fight, the American people may suffer a lot.
History has proved that peace is always based on war, just like the United States' war, this time. As long as it defeats China and seizes the sea control power above the Pacific, the United States will no longer have any threats on the Pacific, and peace will also stand on the side of the United States. Even if a full-scale war breaks out in Europe in the future, the United States, which has relieved its worries, will have the ability to protect itself in the face of the European war.
A news a few days ago made Roosevelt very happy, so happy that he grinned alone in his room for an afternoon. Britain sent troops, indicating that the balance of the war in the Pacific War with China began to fall to the United States.
If Roosevelt was still worried about the previous confrontation with China, he was afraid that the US Navy might not be able to defeat China's powerful Pacific Fleet. After all, the two are of equal strength. Although the United States has strong economic strength as a backing, China's Pacific Fleet is not weak. The Chinese Pacific Fleet was tempered in several large-scale naval battles after the Sino-Japanese War. They have a large number of generals with rich practical experience and advanced warships.
In the face of the rich practical experience of Chinese generals and the powerful strength of a single warship, even Britain, which is known as the empire of the sun never sets, may feel ashamed of itself.
However, the British's troops changed all this. At this time, Roosevelt no longer had much concern about the future direction of the battle. In front of the United Kingdom, which ranks first among the comprehensive strength of the world's naval strength and the United States, relying solely on the Chinese Pacific Fleet, even a three-year-old child knew that nearly twice the strength of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the Chinese Pacific Fleet was bound to be defeated without a doubt.
Just when Roosevelt was alone considering how to recapture Hawaii and Luzon and divide the sea colonies of China - Japan and North Korea, his office door was knocked on.
"Please come in" Roosevelt said, putting down his huge pipe and
"Mr. Minister, there is news in the South China Sea" The one who came in was US Rear Admiral Marshall
"Oh, what news?" A proud curve appeared on the corner of Roosevelt's mouth. The news from the South China Sea must be good news that is beneficial to the United States at this time.
Sure enough, Major General Marshall said: "The British Far East Fleet has entered the Strait of Malacca, and the British squadron on the Huangpu River in Shanghai has also headed south to prepare to meet with the British Far East Fleet that has come from afar in the South China Sea."
"Did the South China Sea Fleet have any actions?" Roosevelt asked
"The South China Sea Fleet in China did not make any major moves. They still occupied the Manila port in Luzon. However, the Chinese army above Hawaii has been frequently mobilized recently," said Major General Marshall.
"Oh? What are their main actions?" Roosevelt relaxed and leaned on his big back chair, leisurely spitting out a smoke ring. He didn't think that the frequent mobilization of the Chinese army is to fight the US North Atlantic Fleet in a decisive battle with the US North Atlantic Fleet.
Marshall smiled: "They are packing up their things and are about to get out of Hawaii and go home."
"Haha" Roosevelt laughed: "Originally, Hawaii did not belong to them. It is the best opportunity to drive them back to China. You can't just let it go. Since the British have given us free help, why don't we take advantage of this great opportunity to completely defeat Tang Jian and let China have no place to turn over again."
"That's it. We must teach these Chinese a lesson. Don't rely on our powerful fleet to dare to run rampant on the Pacific Ocean. Those lowly yellow people are not worthy of owning the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese used to be, and the Chinese now are," Marshall clenched his fists and looked excited: "The United States should let these Chinese people know who is the master of the Pacific Ocean."
Roosevelt nodded in agreement and asked, "Asking me, where is our North Atlantic fleet now?"
"There are three days left to reach the near equator, and it is estimated that in fifteen days, you can reach San Francisco." Major General Marshall replied
Roosevelt stood up, holding a pipe in his mouth, walked back and forth in his office twice, and then ordered: "Let the North Atlantic Fleet speed up, we must withdraw our homeland and intercept it. We will attack the British on both sides and completely sink the Chinese Pacific Fleet on the Pacific."
"Okay, Mr. Minister" Major General Marshall was overjoyed. In this way, he could finally avenge the thousands of dead residents in San Francisco.
"Also, let San Francisco prepare the supplies needed by the North Atlantic Fleet immediately. Once the North Atlantic Fleet arrives in San Francisco, the supply will be completed immediately and %% will be wiped out the Chinese Pacific Fleet in the shortest time." Roosevelt was full of enthusiasm in his heart. He finally had the opportunity to wipe out this rising Chinese fleet on the Pacific Ocean.
Whenever Roosevelt thinks of Tang Jian using such extreme rogue means to play the United States in the midst of applause, he always feels angry. From the early days of the war against Japan, when Tang Jian visited the United States, he pretended to envy the American planes, and now, using the guise of Wilson pacifism to cover up the Guam Treaty, he is ready to prepare for war, causing Luzon to fall. These are like several sharp thorns that have been nailed to Roosevelt's heart.
Now Roosevelt can finally step on China. When he thinks of Tang Jian’s appearance when he was defeated and seeks peace, Roosevelt felt a sense of pleasure after revenge in his heart.
"Mr. Minister, I'll prepare now." Major General Marshall nodded repeatedly
After Marshall withdrew, Roosevelt slowly walked to the balcony alone. The devastated San Francisco was suddenly presented to him. "We can finally avenge you." Roosevelt murmured to San Francisco, which was like ruins not far away.

Hawaii
Whether it is the Big Island or Oahu, the Chinese soldiers and Chinese on the Hawaiian Islands are full of sorrow. Not long ago, a command issued by President Tang Jian was a haze that lingers in everyone's heart. The president ordered that the army and all Chinese in Hawaii should pack their supplies and luggage.
The meaning of such an order is already very obvious, that is, the president is preparing to take them to evacuate from Hawaii. Although most soldiers and Chinese people do not understand this order, after all, Hawaii was obtained through great hardships in China. It is really unreasonable to retreat before encountering the enemy.
But since it is the president's order, no matter the soldiers or the Chinese in Hawaii, they can only obey unconditionally
Just as Hawaii was in a state of dullness and pessimism, suddenly, dozens of messengers rushed to various armies to convey messages to senior generals of the navy, army, air and air forces. It seemed that something big happened.
Not long after, a large number of senior generals rushed from the base to the headquarters of the Hawaiian Navy and Army, accompanied by their respective entourages, because the president's messenger suddenly told them that the president had an urgent matter and needed to convene a military meeting of all generals.
Since the last time I learned about the British troops, this is the first time that the president has convened all generals to hold a military meeting. Every general is uneasy. This time it is very likely that it is the formal announcement of the evacuation of Hawaii.
However, when everyone came to the conference room, they were surprised to find that Tang Jian had changed his previous depressedness, his whole body was full of energy, and a confident light burst out from his eyes, and a smile was always on his face.
Seeing this, Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang moved in their hearts at the same time. The smile was so familiar.
When he completely defeated the Japanese Joint Fleet and wiped out the Russian Pacific Fleet, Tang Jian had such a smile. Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang were both excited at the same time. The president who once led them to gallop across the Yellow Sea finally returned. They seemed to have returned to the heroic spirit of the spirit of defeating Japan and Russia under Tang Jian's command.
While chatting and laughing, the masts and oars were destroyed in ashes
The two sat down together, staring at Tang Jian with hope, waiting for Tang Jian's speech. Although they didn't know why Tang Jian, who was dejected a few days ago, became so confident now. At this time, both of them knew that this time the president would never announce his evacuation from Hawaii.
However, the other generals in the conference room do not have the delicate observation ability of Cheng Biguang and Ye Zugui. After all, Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang have been with Tang Jian day and night before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and their understanding of Tang Jian is much deeper than that of other generals here.
After seeing other generals sitting down with nervous expressions, Tang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Since all the generals of the army have arrived, I will announce an important news here today."
The generals held their breath, and everyone looked at Tang Jian with a complicated expression. Is the president really going to announce his evacuation from Hawaii?
