Across the ocean, United States and British government, who is in exile from Canada, are also very concerned about the war between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire. Austro-Hungarian Empire quit Allied Powers and turned against Germany. This was originally planned by Americans. For this reason, they paid a loan of US$200 million for this purpose. However, the $200 million loan was nothing compared to the income gained.
If Germany suffers heavy losses in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, United States will never be stingy no matter how much money he pays.
Woodrow? President Wilson, stayed in the office all day, waiting for news from Europe.
"Gentlemen, if a war breaks out between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire, with the size of their troops, it will probably be a large-scale war involving millions of people. The entire Europe will be destroyed by them!" Woodrow President Wilson said enthusiastically.
It is very difficult for New World to replace Old World. After all, compared to New World, which just started to develop for two hundred years, Old World has already developed very powerfully. Unless Old World is completely destroyed by successive years of war, there is almost no possibility of New World replacing Old World. Woodrow President Wilson has undoubtedly been looking forward to the outbreak of such a war.
Originally, World War I was supposed to be United States's chance. But unfortunately, Germany's performance in this war was really amazing. It actually only took one year to establish victory. A year and a half later, Germany had almost won the war.
Of course, this war caused great damage to Europe. However, the destroyed places were only Belgium, northern France and British Isles. Elsewhere in European continent, the damage was very slight. This makes the overall strength of Europe not greatly affected. This also makes Europe still far stronger than Americas.
The original industrial output value of Germany lags behind that of United States. However, after acquiring the entire Belgium and most of France, the industrial output value of Germany is no less than that of United States. Coupled with the huge territory and colonies that Germany gained during the war, it was only a matter of time before United States surpassed it. This gave United States a serious sense of crisis.
It is precisely because of this that Americans did everything possible to provoke Austro-Hungarian Empire, hoping that a large-scale war would break out again in the hinterland of Europe. The longer the war lasts, the more miserable it is, and the greater the losses, the more beneficial it will be to United States!
"Your Excellency, it would be interesting if Austro-Hungarian Empire exploded with all his strength and fought against Germany people!" Secretary of War Garrison said.
"Karl I is a very stubborn and conceited person. He will never allow his army to fail to defeat the Germany people. However, I think we should give Austro-Hungarian Empire hope. In this way, Karl I can persevere." Secretary of State Bryan said.
Woodrow President Wilson nodded. "Send Telegram to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and tell them that our army has begun mobilization and will be leaving for Europe soon. Our fleet is about to go to sea!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bryan nodded. He knew that this was just deceiving Austro-Hungarian Empire. If Emperor Karl I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had not been given hope, this battle might not have been so fierce.
"Your Excellency, the fleet can go to sea at any time. However, if we encounter German fleet on Atlantic Ocean, what should we do?" Secretary of the Navy Daniels asked.
Although the current American Navy is not as strong as German Navy. But the strength is not weak anymore. Beginning in 1914, American Navy's large-scale shipbuilding plan began. Two and a half years later, the first batch of warships has entered service. Subsequent warships will also enter service in the next few years. This will make American Navy even more powerful.
"If our navy encounters the Atlantic Fleet of the Germany people, can it eat them?" Woodrow President Wilson asked.
"Your Excellency, if it is just the Atlantic Fleet of the Germany people, there is no problem in eating some of them. Now, our navy has two 'Pennsylvania-class'Battleship, three 'New Mexico-class' Battleship, two 'Tennessee-class' Battleship and four 'Colorado-class'Battleship. Among them, the seven Battleships in the first three levels are equipped with 12-door 356mm Main Gun, and the four 'Colorado-class' Battleship is equipped with a 406mm main gun. Once we encounter Atlantic Fleet from Germany, we can definitely eat them!" Minister Daniels said confidently.
American Navy Although the number of Capital Ships is now small, each one is very powerful. In particular, the four ships 'Colorado-class' and Battleship that have just been put into service have adopted a 406mm main gun with the help of Britain people, which is very powerful.
"In this case, let the fleet set off. However, you are not allowed to open fire without permission. Unless the Germany people attack first." Woodrow President Wilson said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." Minister Daniels immediately went to give the order.
Since in the last World War, American Navy was directly forced back by German Navy, which made American Navy feel ashamed. They all hope that one day they can avenge their shame.
Now, it almost seems to have arrived.
"Your Excellency, this is Telegram from the Embassy in the Austro-Hungarian Empire." The secretary walked in hurriedly.
Woodrow President Wilson immediately took Telegram from the secretary and started reading. However, his expression soon became very ugly. The ministers at American cabinet immediately realized that the situation at Europe seemed not to be good, and everything was not going in the direction they expected.
"Your Excellency, what happened?" Secretary of State Bryan asked.
The other Cabinet Ministers were all staring closely at Woodrow President Wilson. They also want to know what made Woodrow? President Wilson lose his temper like this.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I lost my composure. The news he received really made him so angry!" Woodrow President Wilson said.
"I have to admit that the allies we chose this time are completely useless. Austro-Hungarian Empire's idiots behaved really badly. Karl I even controls the countries under his control. No, he still dares to be hostile to Germany and clamor to defeat Germany. I really don't know where he got the courage!" Woodrow President Wilson said angrily. He suddenly felt as if he had deceived others but deceived himself into a ditch.
