On the evening of March 22, Winston Churchill, the British Admiralty, secretly left Britain on a destroyer of the Royal Navy and headed for the United States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 There is only one reason why the info is on a destroyer, and that is that the destroyer is very fast and can cruise at a speed of almost thirty knots. In this way, it would take less than three days for Churchill to arrive in the United States.

Originally, Prime Minister Asquith decided that the British ambassador to the United States would negotiate with the Americans about the purchase of American battleships. However, Churchill refused. Churchill believed that it would be very difficult to convince the US government to agree to sell those ships to Britain. Ordinary diplomats, there is simply no way to do it. Because there will be a lot of issues involved in the exchange of interests between countries. I am afraid that an ambassador alone does not have so much power to talk to the Americans.

Churchill served as Lord of the Admiralty of the British Empire and an important member of the Cabinet. In addition, it is negotiating the purchase of warships, and it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to come forward. Churchill also believed that he was capable of persuading the Americans to accede to their demands.

Churchill went to the United States with the expectations of the entire British Cabinet. They all hoped that Churchill's visit to the United States would be a success. After all, the formation of a joint fleet of the three countries, the purchase of warships from the Americans, will be the most critical step. If they could not buy warships, even if Britain, France and Italy formed a combined fleet, they would definitely not be the match of the Germans. So, if Churchill can't succeed. Then, the whole plan has no chance of success.

As one of the world's major powers, the United States is also very concerned about the decisive naval battle between Britain and Germany. As soon as the naval battle between Britain and Germany was decided, the US Embassy in Britain and some intelligence officers immediately went into action to inquire about the details of the naval battle. After Churchill received a telegram from the Grand Fleet, the Americans also figured out the whole naval battle. They immediately sent this information back to China.

US Secretary of the Navy Daniels, after receiving the telegram, the whole person was stunned. In view of the naval duel between Britain and Germany, the US Navy also did quite a lot of analysis and war games. In their opinion, the German Navy undoubtedly had a great advantage. However, the British Navy has been the supremacy of the sea for hundreds of years, and its heritage is undoubtedly very strong. Therefore, they predicted that even if the German navy were to win the final victory, it would inevitably pay a very heavy price.

Such an outcome is undoubtedly very favorable for the United States. The German Navy, having suffered heavy losses, could no longer pose a threat to the United States. And the United States may also take advantage of this opportunity to make a little move behind the scenes and trick the Germans.

As emerging powers, the United States, like Germany, hopes to smash the world colonial system built by Britain, France and other countries and strive for more interests for their own countries. However, the United States could never allow Germany to win this war. Because a strong Germany is more threatening to the United States than a weakened Britain and France.

If it could, the United States would even like to join the Allies to ensure the defeat of Germany. After defeating the ambitions of the Germans, they replaced Britain step by step as the world hegemon.

But alas, the Allied armies performed too badly in this war. The United States also did not have the confidence that it could win the war if it joined the war. For this reason, they naturally need to think about it.

Coupled with the threat of the Germans to the United States, the United States had no choice but to remain neutral, even if it was unwilling in its heart.

Therefore, the U.S. government is very concerned about this naval battle. If the Germans had lost, or if Germany had paid a heavy price and would not have been enough to blockade Britain again. Then, I am afraid that the support of the United States for Britain will be restored immediately. But unfortunately, the result of this naval battle made the Americans slap in the face again. All their plans seemed so ridiculous in the face of the clean victory of the German Navy.

"Oh God! How could the Germans be so strong? Didn't the British be the hegemon of the seas for hundreds of years? How could it be so easily defeated by the Germans? And the loss is so big! Minister Daniels couldn't believe the result.

He then asked the U.S. Department of the Navy to immediately contact the British side to confirm the authenticity of this information before reporting it to President Wilson.

It was an hour before Minister Daniels finally confirmed that the information was true. This result made Daniels remain silent for a long time.

"The Germans were so strong, so strong that the British could be defeated so easily. It seems that the American Republic will definitely not be able to go to war with the Germans without being strong enough. Otherwise, we will fail. Minister Daniels sighed.

Although the United States has a very strong industrial strength, its military strength is too weak. Even now that they have recognized this problem and have begun to strengthen their armaments. However, this will not be done overnight. Germany, on the other hand, has the world's most powerful army and navy, along with its strong industrial strength. Compared with the United States, its overall strength is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the United States.

Although, now it's already evening in Eastern Time. But Secretary Daniels got in the car and went to the White House to ask Woodrow Bush Brown. President Wilson, reporting on the results of the Anglo-German naval battle.

"Your Excellency, just a few hours ago, the Germans and the British in the North Sea had already decided the final victory." Minister Daniels said.

Woodrow? President Wilson nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the Germans should have won!" After all, their navy has too much advantage. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Germans won this naval battle, which meant that the German Navy would replace the British Navy as the supremacy of the sea. Your Excellency the President, I suggest that we remain resolutely neutral in this war. Otherwise, if the Germans were provoked, the consequences would be very serious. Minister Daniels said with a serious face.

Woodrow? President Wilson was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something: "What? Did the Germans win big? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Germans, at a very small cost, defeated the British Royal Navy. During this battle, only one battleship was sunk, and several other battleships and battlecruisers were heavily damaged. However, they sank the British 22 battleships and 5 battlecruisers. In addition, the British suffered heavy damage to three battleships and one battlecruiser. Minister Daniels said.

Woodrow? President Wilson, with his mouth wide open, could almost fit his fist.
