Chapter 1344: Target Hawaii?

When Richardson heard the news, his face immediately turned white, this number is difficult for ordinary small countries to concentrate, but for China, this is very easy, as if it is confirmed, Richardson asked a few more channels, especially through the strength of the Entente, through the Japanese side, I knew that China was using a large fleet, and Japan's estimate of the first batch of military strength was at least between 60-700,000.

Hearing this definite number, Richardson was almost not stunned, China is worthy of being an army power, and it is the object of a head-to-head confrontation with European steamrollers, and it is hundreds of thousands of people when it is used, this number is far beyond Hawaii's capacity, and he has to send a telegram to the country asking for support.

The Chinese side did send troops, and there was no cover-up, the million-level army set off by sea, as long as it was not completely forbidden to be looked at by others, it was impossible to conceal it, the time of China's establishment was still too short, Japan, and even Britain and France, have been operating in China for many years, maybe for high-level things, under the strict blockade of the intelligence bureau, it is unlikely to get too much information, but for the information at the bottom, there is no way to hide, they can still know.

It's just that when the fleet enters the route, it is unlikely to be discovered after it is out of the eyes of the crowd, which is also the fundamental reason why China has not broken into pieces and gathered overseas.

But I don't know that such an unintentional move will make the United States misunderstand, Richardson, a former defeated general of the Philippines, almost didn't abandon Hawaii and ran away, which can be regarded as a different kind of gain.

When the news reached the United States, it immediately caused an uproar, after the US government assessed that it had eaten $12 billion of wealth from the Chinese. The Chinese will protest, will go to war, and the impact will be more on the European side, and for the United States, the impact will be small, and the Philippines will be in hand. The closest to China is Hawaii, and Shanghai, the central axis of China's coastline, is at least 8,000 kilometers away, and the current width of the United States in the east and west is not 8,000 kilometers. It's a huge distance, and the United States should be safe, at least in 1915, 1916.

This is also Richardson's several times to ask for help from home, but there is no response, after all, for the impossible, how can Americans have this mind here. The Great War in Europe was in full swing, and the strategic mission of 1915 was largely not achieved. The United States, which has reaped 12 billion fortunes, now needs to sell off this wealth, recover funds, and then expand its armaments.

But now China has made a different response. Sending hundreds of thousands of troops to Hawaii was clearly revenge, which surprised the United States. And I had to deal with it.

China is really a little different from other countries in the world, but it is just to take away the property of some Chinese, so they want to evacuate overseas Chinese, and even do not hesitate to use forcible methods to exert pressure on Britain and France, tens of millions of Chinese and 3 million prisoners of war exchange, such a ratio is made, it stands to reason that it should be 10:1, perhaps, this is how to suffer, let China choose to retaliate after the evacuation of overseas Chinese.

In order to avoid oolong, the U.S. government used his channels to investigate, the U.S. government's channels are much larger than Richardson's, and the news came quickly, yes, China has dispatched at least 600,000 troops, and the direction is also from Qingdao and Shanghai Port to the south, although there are a lot of goals, but in terms of the current international situation, let China still do this, I'm afraid only Hawaii, the United States can't reach it, but Hawaii is also the territory of the United States, isn't it?

Such a practice definitely needs to be punished, but the United States really can't find a way to punish it. At present, China's evacuation work is nearing completion, and there are still a few remaining personnel concentrated outside Los Angeles, and the population is already small, only more than 300,000 people.

It's a pity that after careful investigation by the United States, it was found that there was no way to do it, most of the remaining personnel in this part are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the actions of the Americans have directly caused many Chinese Americans, who have not had enough food to eat for a long time, for the prime of life, this is nothing, even if it is directly weakened, as long as a little supplement of nutrition, you can be alive and kicking, but for the elderly, and children who are waiting to be fed, it is not good, especially for those with some hidden diseases, even more so.

Most of the things that can be transported away have been transported away, and the rest, maybe sent on the ship, will cause huge casualties, and China simply stays in the United States for the time being, anyway, these people stay to pay rent, and the United States has not driven people out.

There are 300,000 people left, but the US government can not deal with it, the remaining people, really can't move, once large-scale casualties are caused, I am afraid that the reputation of the United States will rot in the whole world, the United States participated in the European war, in order to spread fame and prestige to the world, not to promote notoriety, before 12 billion to bear the notoriety, this is no problem, finally some benefits, but the threat of no reason, I am afraid in the eyes of the Chinese, this part is also a burden.

Of course, in order to take care of these old, weak, sick and disabled, China, there are still a lot of Chinese left, these are young and middle-aged, but unfortunately these people can not move, these Chinese are medical workers, and even a large number of volunteers from all over the world, the actions of the Americans, in the vast majority of countries in the world, are condemned, even in the United States, there are a large number of devout Catholics and doctors, come to support, if this part of the people move, it will be absolutely uproar, worse than directly moving those Chinese.

But how can the crisis in Hawaii be resolved? On the part of Japan's allies, they have been unmistakably informed that at least 600,000 or so Chinese troops are on board, where they will go, even the most conservative people in the US government will feel that Hawaii is very likely, if China wants to attack Russia, it does not need ships, most of the territory of the entire Siberia has been taken by China, and it is okay to go where to land, and those who can use ships, that is, India, the Middle East, and Hawaii, the officers of the joint conference, feel more and more, Hawaii is likely.

As the commander said, they will attack Hawaii, but at this moment, the United States has no other way, at most, to send some more supplies, weapons and equipment, and the recruits can be replenished, and if they are not replenished, the warships will really be gone.

The warships that can be sent to Hawaii are already the warships that the United States has won as much as possible, and most of the mobile warships of the United States are placed on the North Atlantic route to escort merchant ships, and the rest are incorporated into the Allied fleet, and the German high seas fleet shows a strong attack power, so that the pressure on the Allied fleet is very great, once the high seas fleet destroys the Allied army, enters the North Sea, and blocks Britain's overseas supplies.

Britain is finished, in the current European battlefield, the United States' participation in the war, but barely maintained, although with the course of the war, the future will definitely gain the upper hand, but not now, at this critical time, if Britain is blocked, there will definitely be a chain reaction, itself, lost two-thirds of the country, and more than half of the population, France, has been quite insufficient in strength, into the danger of collapse at any time.

If Britain is finished at this critical time, France will also surrender, in this case, how to fight the war, even if France and Britain set up a government-in-exile, in the colonies, even the British Commonwealth and the like, continue to resist the war, but without this transfer, a complete, German-controlled Europe, how can the United States land so easily, at that time, even if the United States is unwilling, it must end the war.

This will be a disaster for the United States, in any case, the United States is a businessman-dominated society, in many aspects, the United States needs to see whether it is cost-effective, now, it is the time to be in a dilemma, withdraw unwillingly, 5-1 billion US dollars a year, it is impossible to give up, but if it really fights, it can't be beaten, is it possible to let Hawaii's army die in vain?

Hawaii and Europe, that important, no one else can answer, if the Chinese really want to fight, then it can only be like this, except to order Hawaii to hold on, there is nothing else.

Richardson has been looking forward to this for so long, he has not had a certain amount of sincerity at all, 50,000 recruits, arms that can be used in Hawaii for 1 year, a large number of logistics supplies, and even upgrades for all officers, but unfortunately these have no effect, what he needs now is a warship, only with a powerful warship, can he resist the enemy outside of Hawaii, this is the real way to help.

It's a pity that there is nothing, Richardson scolded fiercely in his mouth, the attention of the domestic military is serious, isn't this letting him be sent to death, but as an officer who needs to take responsibility for the previous retreat in the Philippines, Richardson is also very helpless, he has to accept this pessimistic reality, and organize the armies of various groups as much as possible,

It's a pity that the current Hawaii is just an island country with only about 16,000 square kilometers hanging overseas, and even if it builds a defensive position, what can it do, the whole Hawaii is full of landing places, as long as the other side lands, Hawaii still can't hold it, which is a matter of life.
