Chapter 677 Closed 4

"Mr. President, Russia."

Jorson stopped his mouth before he finished pushing the door open, because he saw Wilson and the Secretary of State talking by the window, pinching his eyebrows with his fingers.

As Secretary of State, he is one of the few people who are most familiar with President Wilson. He carefully found that he didn't know when this action seemed to have become the president's habit, and he also knew that when he made this action, he must have encountered something that gave him a headache, so he used this way to relieve it. The nerves are tightened to the extreme.

In addition to Russia's readiness to continue negotiations to withdraw from the war, is there any bad news at this time? While Jolson's heart was hanging up, Wilson had turned his head and asked, "How's Russia?" Are you ready to agree to their request?

"No, no."

Jolson shook his head: "It's just back to the negotiations, but the gap between them is too big, and the Russian people will certainly not agree to this agreement, so I don't think it can succeed."

Secretary of State Lansing also agreed: "For Russia, if this agreement is signed, it will lose 5.7 million square kilometers of land, tens of millions of people, 90% of the country's coal mining, 75% of iron ore, 54% of industry and 42% of railways, and billions of rubles in compensation. They will never agree!"

"Is it?"

Wilson pushed open the window with a tired face. There were few passers-by traveling together on the streets of Washington in midsummer. The laughter gradually disappeared from the sky over the city. Even in this kind of fierce protest, factories across the United States still did not dare to be tired, as Xinhua fighters and warships began to be unscrupulous. On the west coast, tension and anxiety began to haunt everyone.

Unconsciously, the United States has been in war for two years. Looking back at this time, he found that he had done a stupid thing. He was kidnapped by Britain, confused by Li Mo, and pulled into the whirlpool by domestic trusts. If he had known that Li Mo had mastered the technological advantage, he had not been fascinated by the false prosperity of the world's largest economic power. I can see the deep weakness of the United States earlier, and it won't be difficult to ride a tiger now.

There is no regret in this world, so no one can change what has happened. It once hoped to quickly occupy the southwest Pacific with strong economic strength and burn the flames of war in Xinhua. Now it seems to be just a fantasy. If the main army of Xinhua had not been dragged in Russia and Australia, maybe the West Sea. The shore has fallen.

But at this time, he can't get out. He must grit his teeth and stick to it. As a politician, he is more sober than many people. Losing means that the United States may become the second Russia!

"Mr. President." The voice of the Secretary of State sounded from the ear again: "The British army has been accelerating its mobilization to Russia. Yesterday, the second batch of 5,000 marines they sent has taken control of the port of Arkhangelsk. The army led by General Allenby has also penetrated into the Caspian Sea and is heading for the Caucasuston River Basin. Prime Minister Lloyd George has We promise that if Lenin really does something unfavorable to us, Britain will never sit idly by.

Wilson shook his head. Although Jowson and Lansing did not think that the Russian Congress had signed such a defamatory contract, they forgot one thing: "Lancen, you don't understand that when "all power belongs to the Soviets", Lenin and others can easily block all different voices for their own benefit. Yi, he will agree.

"No, I will definitely agree!" Wilson waved his arm fiercely and took a deep breath: "So, we have to be ready without Russia!"

"Russia is very important, but it is not the most important to us." Seeing that Lansing was still ready to speak, Wilson stopped him and returned to the topic before Jolson came in: "How's Numia?"

"Numéa?!"

Jorson almost jumped up. After Lansing's general explanation, he finally knew why the president was worried just now. It turned out that from yesterday afternoon, the Xinhua Navy suddenly set out from Port Vila to attack New Caledonia and Port Nouméa, trying to completely close Australia.

"There is no further news, but the garrison telegraph said that the enemy's firepower was very fierce, with at least four capital ships shelling across the shore, as well as three light carriers and 100 aircraft."

"Go and tell William Banson that I need to know the news of Nouméa all the time." After Wilson finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had just delivered the capital ship and asked, "What else are they doing? When can I arrive in San Diego?

Lansing naturally knew who they were in Wilson's mouth and immediately said, "Two Pennsylvania-class battleships, two Northampton-class heavy cruisers, and five Brooklyn-class light cruisers have all gathered in Florida and left for the Pacific Ocean by the end of the month at the latest."

"In addition." Lansing paused for a moment and said, "Mr. President, Lieutenant General Benson suggested that we withdraw our four capital ships in India and the fleet stationed in Australia."

"Withdraw all? Why!" Wilson's hand to the pen suddenly stagnant. It's not a problem to withdraw several warships, but what about British-American relations? Don't you think about it? I'm afraid this is no longer a military issue!

"President, yesterday Xinhua sent another plane to bomb San Francisco from the sea, and a new batch of 40,000 North Korean and Japanese troops have also arrived in Panama. We suspect that they may be landing!"

Wilson was not allowed to come out of the shock. Lansing continued: "In addition, General Adam has led the Fifth Army to Prince George, Canada, to join the 60,000 Canadian troops who arrived early. He telegraphed that the materials are currently being intensified in transportation and will attack Alaska by early August at the latest. He hoped to get support from the navy.

"But we." Lansing took a deep breath: "Now the navy is understaffed, so."

The United States, the world's first industrial and economic power, which built the world's second navy before the war, actually had a shortage of naval power and needed to be transferred. It was in the dilemma of warships that had promised to be sent by allies. This gap made Wilson cry and frowned: "I know, I will send it in person in a while. The telegram negotiated with Prime Minister Lloyd George, but you told Benson that he would find a way to send warships to the Gulf of Alaska to support the army. I don't want to be the first president of the United States to lose his land!"

"Yes."

======="The thrower, big eyes call the thrower."

"Received by the threme."

The four-seat long-range hummingbird water reconnaissance aircraft kept hovering over the port of Nouméa. The lookout in the back seat was responsible for reconnaissance. The co-pilot and navigator held the microphone and kept providing bombing coordinates to the fighters wandering in the distance according to the prompts.

"Southwest of the port, 1800 meters away, two large-caliber shore guns were found."

"Received." After Meng Xiaodong finished answering, he looked at the 11 dragon teeth on the left and right and said with a smile, "Second team, follow me and lay eggs."

" Lay eggs?!" In the flight control tower of the heavy aircraft carrier Zhongwei, a mouthful of coffee turned into a flying rain: "This beloved dog, let's see how I deal with him when I come back!"

Meng Xiaodong didn't know that he was being targeted. After a vertical pole, the dragon tooth torpedo/bomber carrying a 250 kg bomb was like a fat white goose, suddenly deflected its wings and began to quickly lower its height in the hissing of the engine.

The transition pursues the dragon teeth of low-altitude plundering the sea, which can only carry out horizontal bombing when performing ground-to-ground missions, so pilots like to fly as low as possible to strengthen the accurate name of bombing.

The column of smoke over the port of Noumea in the distance provided the best coordinates for the pilot. Under the guidance of the reconnaissance aircraft, Meng Xiaodong quickly found this large-caliber shore artillery base hidden in the rainforest.

Seeing the plane approaching, the machine guns arranged around began to fire. Because of the lack of rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, the machine guns became the main air defense force in Port Nouméa.

In the dense rain of bullets, the war eagle flew over the rainforest like a ghost. At the moment of pulling the trigger, the fuselage suddenly lightened, and the dragon teeth that got rid of the shackles quickly pulled up and drilled into the blue sky.

Meng Xiaodong hurriedly turned his head and saw the bomb exploding more than 100 meters away from the heavy artillery. Although the fireball was extremely dazzling, there was almost no killing at this distance.

"Damn it!" Meng Xiaodong patted the fuselage fiercely and wished that he could immediately have a night owl that was said to provide a large amount of bombing accuracy. It was not until two bombs exploded within 30 meters of the shore cannon that the resentment in his chest calmed down slightly and began to return with the team that had dropped the bomb.

A moment after the battle eagle left, the 10 305mm heavy artillery of the battleship Jilin turned from 20,000 meters away. Just five minutes later, the shore bombardment was completely destroyed.

When the confirmed telegram was sent back to the flagship, the staff immediately marked it with a pen on the map.

The destruction of another fire point did not make Xiao Tianzhi happy, because from the beginning of the attack, except for the shore cannon, almost all the British, American and Australian allied forces retreated into the dense rainforest deep in the island, ready to use the jungle as cover to continue to resist. It can be imagined that the Marines would fight a hard battle again.

Everyone knows that as long as the channel of the island is cut off, no island can be stationed for a long time, so he is not worried about the landing battle that will begin tomorrow morning. With the second special task force and the ability of three hellfire-class fire support ships, he is confident that more than 70% of the main fire points have been destroyed. Send the Marines up.

What made him frown was that Clarkston must have known that Nouméa was under attack at this moment, but he did nothing and didn't even send a reconnaissance cruiser, which was a little strange.

Almost all the Allied mobile fleets stationed in Australia after the Imperial counterattack were destroyed, but they were quickly supplemented by the pre-war ship-building frenzy. Although Li Xiuyan killed two French battleships, one warship, two heavy artillery light cruisers and four Tennessee-class armored cruisers, Clarkston's hands In fact, the strength has not weakened much.

Two American Delaware-class battleships, three British Bleropon-class battleships, and one British Sea King star battleships, all of which are new battleships, have also undergone air defense modification and are the core of the fleet.

Although the two old Illinois-class and eight majestic-class are old-fashioned battleships, they have strengthened their air defense capabilities and cover them. As for the remaining dozen cruisers, they have good combat capabilities, so why hasn't he come out for a long time?

"Do you really want to give up Nouméa?"

Xiao Tianzhi shook his head. Noumea is too important. It is not only the east gate of Australia, but also because of its unique Gulf advantage. It is one of the few excellent deep-water ports in the southwest Pacific, almost comparable to Guam. Therefore, the Imperial Admiralty Department has decided to do it here even before attacking Numea. It is one of the future fleet bases in Southwest and Australia.

Clarkston will not know that once it is lost, it means that Australia's richest East Coast will be all shrouded in naval guns, so what is he waiting for?

is to worry that it will be besieged and annihiated when it comes out, so it is waiting to be killed, or.

Do you really want to go?!
