"Gentlemen, this time the plan we launched in Austria-Hungary has failed. Austria-Hungary was too vulnerable, and their army did not have any combat effectiveness at all. In addition, the states that made up the Austro-Hungarian Empire betrayed one after another. This allowed Austria-Hungary to lose the war before it even began. So, there's no need for any extra effort. Secretary of State Brian said.

"Well, guys, I already know your opinions. Now, indeed, is not the time to tear up faces with the Germans. If only Austria-Hungary could behave decently. We might be able to help them more. In other words, if they can withstand the German attack, it is not impossible for us to send troops to land in Europe. However, now that they can't hold up the wall at all, we can't be stupid enough to pay ourselves in! "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"But, Your Excellency. Now the main forces of the German Navy are pursuing the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The Germans had gathered the full strength of their home fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet, and the Indian Ocean Fleet. The Austro-Hungarian Navy, although it had sixteen capital ships. However, the performance of those capital ships, each of which can compete with the cutting-edge capital ships of the German Navy. Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Empire must have lost in this naval battle. In addition, the German Navy has drawn a large number of forces, which has seriously emptied their power in the Atlantic, which is also an opportunity for us. Once the German Navy has eliminated the Austro-Hungarian Navy and the Home Fleet returns to the Atlantic, our strength will once again be at a disadvantage. When the time comes, we will once again face the oppression of the Germans. "William? Admiral Benson said.

The generals of the US Navy undoubtedly hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to strike a severe blow at the German Navy. In this way, at least the gap between the two navies can be further narrowed. Even if the German Navy retaliates in the future, they can use coastal defense artillery to fight it, and then rebuild their strength and wait for the opportunity.

If this opportunity is missed, then the US Navy may never find such a good opportunity again. Then for a long time they will all be suppressed by the German Navy.

"Although the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Navy is inferior to that of the German Navy, it would be nice if they could inflict certain casualties on the German Navy, such as sinking or severely damaging several German capital ships!" Secretary Garrison said.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult! The main guns of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the maximum caliber was no more than 350 mm. Even the 50-caliber 343 mm guns of the battleships sold to them by the Germans were strong in armor-piercing, but they probably couldn't penetrate the main armor of the Germans' cutting-edge battleships. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Navy to inflict heavy damage or even sink the cutting-edge capital ships of the German Navy. Minister Daniels shook his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's wait for the results of the naval battle between the German Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy before making a decision! If the Austro-Hungarian Navy could really inflict some casualties on the German Navy, we might be able to take a risk. However, if the Austro-Hungarian Navy has no way to deal with the German Navy, then we should take the initiative to retreat to avoid further intensification! Secretary of State Brian suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea!" Woodrow? President Wilson said.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Chief of Naval Operations William? Admiral Benson, though a little dissatisfied, nodded. After all, if the U.S. Navy takes the initiative to retreat again this time, then they will undoubtedly lose face again. This will also be a great blow to the morale of the US Navy.

The decisive battle between the German Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy did not make the American side wait any longer. In the evening of the same day, they had already received the news.

The generals of the US Cabinet and the US Navy all turned pale when they learned of the final results.

Unexpectedly, the Americans won again. And it was still won at a very small cost. Their capital ship did not even have a single one with moderate trauma. The U.S. Navy is so powerful! "Woodrow? President Wilson sighed.

Other U.S. cabinet ministers also nodded their heads one after another. The strength of the German navy once again shocked them. Obviously, in this case, the US Navy will be even less able to act rashly. Otherwise, once the German Navy, which has not lost its strength, launches a counterattack, this is definitely not something that the US Navy can resist. When the time comes, the East Coast of the United States will be devastated. Nor is this a price that the United States can bear.

"Minister Daniels, General Benson, do you have any other opinions?" Woodrow? President Wilson asked.

Obviously, Woodrow? President Wilson has made a decision to ensure the safety of the U.S. Navy, even if it is a desperate attempt to lose face again. After all, it's not easy for them to save these family funds! Once they lose it, they'll have to start all over again. No matter how rich the United States is, it can't afford such losses!

"Your Excellency, we have no opinion!" Minister Daniels said.

"Your Excellency the President, I will give the order to the fleet to retreat!" William? Admiral Benson also said.

They also know that choosing to back down at this time is the best way.

When William? Admiral Benson sent the order to retreat to the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, Henry? In the hands of Admiral Mayo, Henry? Admiral Mayo did not object, but complied with the order.

In fact, after learning that the German Navy had tackled the Austro-Hungarian Navy at a pittance cost, Henry? Admiral Mayo's attitude changed. He didn't have to think about it to know that the German Navy's home fleet, and even the Mediterranean fleet, had been rushing back. As soon as the main forces of the German Navy rushed back, there was enough strength to eat them. It would be very dangerous to stay any longer.

The U.S. Navy then turned and withdrew from the confrontation area.

The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, after learning of this news, slowly followed behind the American fleet until it crossed the Atlantic median line, and then returned.

And the U.S. Navy also got an intelligence later, which made the admirals of the U.S. Navy feel uneasy. That is, the aircraft carriers anchored in the German mainland, all of them were gone. There is no doubt that those aircraft carriers are on the Atlantic. If war does break out, everyone can imagine the consequences with their toes.
