Washington, D.C., White House, Woodrow? President Wilson is being briefed. After his successful re-election, Woodrow? President Wilson felt that his time was running out, and that he had to fulfill his ideals during his term of office.

In last year's election, Woodrow? Wilson simply narrowly defeated the Republican nominee Charles? Evans? Hughes only. This undoubtedly shows that voters are interested in Woodrow? President Wilson's performance during his last term was not satisfactory.

Woodrow? Wilson was a very aspiring president. He hopes to lead the United States to truly become a global power, not just a regional power.

Indeed, the United States today is far from being the superpower that will fight whoever it wants. They can only barely be regarded as the hegemon of the Americas. This is mainly because there are no too powerful countries in the Americas, so that the United States can claim hegemony on the American continent. If the United States does not have such a good geographical location, it is very difficult to say whether they can develop to this point.

"Your Excellency, the situation in Europe has become very tense right now. Austria-Hungary officially announced its withdrawal from the Central Powers, much to Germany's displeasure. The German emperor had already personally warned Austria-Hungary, asking them to withdraw the decision within three days. Otherwise, the Germans would have taken military action. Secretary of State Brian said.

Woodrow? Wilson nodded, seeming very satisfied: "Very good, if Europe is in chaos, it will be very beneficial for us." Our enemies are so strong that it will be very difficult for us to defeat them. Therefore, we can only try to buy enough time for ourselves to develop. ”

Woodrow? President Wilson is well aware of America's inferiority. Although the population of the United States exceeds that of Germany, the industrial output value of the United States temporarily exceeds that of Germany. However, there is still a big gap between the United States and Germany in terms of advanced science and technology. Even the British, who were exiled to Canada, brought with them a lot of advanced technology. However, it will take time for these advanced technologies to be absorbed and digested by the United States, and to further develop new technologies on this basis. Right now, the most important thing the United States lacks is time.

Germany is taking up colonies left by LinkedIn, while absorbing northern France and Belgium, as well as the Eastern European Plain ceded by Russia. It can be said that every day Germany's strength is growing, and the gap between the United States and Germany is also widening. If Germany is not able to make trouble and slow down their development, there is almost no possibility that the United States will surpass Germany in the future and defeat Germany in a war. So, Woodrow? President Wilson actively wooed Austria-Hungary and brought war between Germany and Austria-Hungary. All this was to enable Germany to be mired in the quagmire of war, so as to buy more time for the United States to develop.

"Your Excellency, it is expected that war between Germany and Austria-Hungary will break out soon. When the time comes, will we really fulfill the agreement and send troops to Europe? Secretary of War Garrison asked.

"Whether you want to send troops to Europe, see what the situation is! Although, we promised Austria-Hungary that if they could hold out for a month, our troops would appear in Europe. But if Austria-Hungary is fighting so badly that it can't withstand the Germans, is it necessary for us to send troops to Europe? In that case, it's all about sending our lads to their deaths. "Woodrow? President Wilson said with a smile.

The reason why he agreed to Karl I to send troops to Europe was only to make Karl I feel at ease. Otherwise, how could Karl I foolishly agree to fight against Germany? In fact, this is simply a hole dug by the Americans for Karl I. Karl I himself jumped in.

Of course, if the Austrian army had performed amazingly on the battlefield and resisted the German attack, the United States would not mind taking the opportunity to declare war on Germany. In this way, not only can troops be sent to seize the colonies that Germany has just occupied, but perhaps troops can also be sent to Europe to help Austria-Hungary defeat Germany.

Only, Woodrow? President Wilson thought that was too unlikely. With the strength of Austria-Hungary, it did not look like it could defeat the German Empire.

"Your Excellency, if Germany attacks Austria-Hungary, the Austro-Hungarian army will probably not be able to resist it. However, the Austro-Hungarian navy had a lot of advantages in the Mediterranean. The Austro-Hungarian Navy now has a total of sixteen capital ships, including four 'Combined Forces' and four 'Austro-Hungarian' battleships of their own construction. In addition, at the time of the sale of capital ships in Germany, eight capital ships were bought. Such strength is already stronger than the Mediterranean Fleet of the German Navy. But if the German Navy had mobilized other fleets for reinforcements, the Austro-Hungarian Navy would not have been a match for the Germans. However, this would also seriously weaken the strength of the German Navy in other seas. For example, in the Atlantic, if the German Navy's home fleet entered the Mediterranean, then only the Atlantic Fleet would remain. The Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy consisted of only seven capital ships. And our strength is much stronger than the German Navy. If given the chance, perhaps the German Atlantic Fleet could be eaten in one bite. In this way, we have a greater advantage in the Atlantic. The Secretary of the Navy suggested.

Woodrow? President Wilson thought for a moment, then nodded: "It depends!" If Austria-Hungary behaves well, then we will pit the Germans. If Austria-Hungary is vulnerable, then let's not bother the Germans. After all, the overall strength of the German Navy is much stronger than ours. It would be very unwise to confront the German Navy in advance when those of our capital ships are not yet fully commissioned. ”

If there's a chance, Woodrow? President Wilson, of course, hoped that they would be able to eat a fleet of the German Navy. In this way, at least the pressure on the US Navy in the Atlantic can be much reduced. Otherwise, the United States would have to keep investing in its navy in order to be able to counter the mighty German navy.

"Your Excellency, the latest news, the Germans have declared war on Austria-Hungary. The army of the Germans, having crossed the border and entered the territory of Austria-Hungary! The secretary reported.

"Very well, gentlemen, the show is on!" Woodrow? President Wilson said with a smile.
