"What the hell is Admiral Pershing doing? Isn't he the most outstanding general in the Army, who gave him the lives of more than two million young Americans, and that's how he repaid him? If we lose these troops, how many families will be separated from each other, and the angry populace will tear us to pieces! "Immediately following the Secretary of the Treasury, Attorney General James Murphy. Clarke. McReynolds also spoke.

For a time, Theodore. President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Elihue. Rutter and Army Chief of Staff Leonard. Admiral Wood's face became very ugly. Although this year's zhèngfu is the product of the alliance of the Republican Party and the Minzhu Party, the Minzhu Party has always been very dissatisfied with the Republican Party's control of the army. Theodore. President Roosevelt also did not expect that the other side would make a mistake at this time.

"Alright, don't say that anymore, now we need to figure out how to get through this time!" Vice President Woodrow. Wilson said. Originally, the vice president of the United States had no power, but was just a backup for the president. When the president has an accident, dies, or is unable to handle state affairs, he automatically becomes the president of the United States. But if the president is always in good health and there are no accidents, then the vice president can only be a backup forever.

However, this term of zhèngfu is different, and most of the positions in the cabinet are minzhu party members, which makes Vice President Woodrow . Wilson was also very influential in the cabinet. At present, almost all the internal affairs of the United States are presided over by the Minzhu Party.

Under Vice President Woodrow. After Wilson spoke, the other cabinet members of the Minzhu Party, who had originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, had to shut up. It's not that they don't know that the two parties need to work together to get through the difficult time, but they just want to take the opportunity to hit Theodore. President Roosevelt's prestige only. Although Theodore. President Roosevelt promised to resign as soon as the war ended. But if the United States does win the war, Theodore. Roosevelt's prestige would rise to an extremely terrifying level, perhaps even rivaling that of Presidents Washington and Lincoln. If by then, Theodore. If President Roosevelt wanted to break his word and get fat, then the minzhu party really had nothing he could do.

But the good thing is Woodrow. Vice President Wilson knew that now was not the time for infighting, and if the U.S. troops on the front line were surrounded and annihilated by the squadron, it would be a huge disaster for the United States. Even if the minzhu party is able to put Theodore. President Roosevelt was ousted. But the country is all gone, even if the Minzhu Party can replace the Republican Party, then what's the point?

"Your Excellency, what do you mean? Is it to agree with General Pershing's construction and let the main forces of our army retreat from Mexico City? "Woodrow. Vice President Wilson asked. The situation on the front line changed so quickly and also beyond his expectations. Previously, the U.S. Department of War claimed that Mexico's central defense line was impregnable enough to hold off the squadron.

"From the current point of view, if we continue to hold on to Mexico City, our main forces will likely be surrounded by the Chinese. If we suffer heavy losses, we will not be able to hold out for the rest of the war! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still felt that he should agree with Admiral Pershing's proposal. Although the war has been going on for more than half a year, it is only the beginning of this long war, and the United States cannot afford to lose the war prematurely, and only by continuing to hold on will it have a chance. Also, Theodore. President Roosevelt also knew that such a situation at the front was not in essence not the incompetence of General Pershing, but the Chinese being too cunning and powerful. It is absolutely impossible for any general to replace General Pershing to do better than Admiral Pershing!

"Is it true that the situation on the front line in Mexico, Your Excellency, is it so bad? We have to be prepared for what kind of impact the population will have at home if we know about the crushing defeat of our army in central Mexico. The people's support for us to replace Taft is in the hope that we can lead the country out of failure. If they can't meet this demand of the people, they will definitely be disappointed in zhèngfu! "Secretary of State William. James. Brian said. As for controlling public opinion, there is no need to think about this at all. A very important reason for their attack on Taft was that Taft controlled public opinion and deceived the people. Therefore, if the U.S. troops retreat from Mexico City, the population will soon know what is happening. When the time comes, Theodore. Roosevelt will face a crisis of confidence in Yan zhòng, and it is not good that he will follow in the footsteps of Taaffe because of this!

Listened to Secretary of State William. James. Brian's words were followed by Theodore. President Roosevelt couldn't help but hesitate. If possible, he certainly hopes that Admiral Pershing will be able to continue to hold the central Mexican defense, even if it is for another month!

"Is it true that General Wood's Central Mexico Defense Line has reached the point of abandonment? If we send troops to the Mexican front again, will we be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese? "Theodore. President Roosevelt asked.

He is not completely dead set on it, and if he could, he certainly hoped that the central Mexican defense line would hold out, even if it cost more casualties.

"Your Excellency, this is very difficult. From the telegram sent by General Pershing, we know that we now have no way to deal with this new tactic of the Chinese. The Chinese use new weapons as a shock force, and any of our defensive lines have become decorations, unable to stop their advance. And, now the rear passage of Admiral Pershing is in danger of being severely endangered. If the Chinese had cut off General Pershing's retreat first, our troops on the central Mexican defense line would have been finished. In previous wars, we had already lost almost 1.5 million troops. And in the current battle, we will lose at least 500,000 to 1 million troops, which is still the most optimistic scenario. Although, the army has already called up more recruits in the country, and there will be no problems with the supply of weapons. But everyone must understand that we are definitely not the opponent of the Chinese. Our population is only one-seventh that of the Chinese. Moreover, now the war losses, we are much larger than the Chinese. If this continues, we will not have enough troops to continue fighting with the Chinese! "Leonard. Admiral Wood said sternly. His words made the senior officials of the US Cabinet feel very heavy.

"Yes! Fighting for population, even if all the Entente countries are combined, they are not the opponents of the Chinese. Their terrifying population base is enough to send all opponents to the cold! "Theodore. President Roosevelt said. China can easily mobilize tens of millions of troops without having much impact at home. And for the United States, if it mobilizes tens of millions of troops, this is already doing its best. Now, in order to be able to mobilize more troops, the United States has relaxed the label of conscription, and all men between the ages of 18 and 35 can join the army. And, in order to compensate for the shortage of labor after a large number of adult men joined the army, the United States has been mobilizing women to work, rather than just being housewives.

The cabinet members of the United States zhèngfu had their faces a little pale, and their courage was severely struck by the thought of China's huge population base. At one time, China's huge population meant a huge market that could be plundered and enslaved by the United States and other Western powers. But when these Chinese broke free from the shackles, rose rapidly, and possessed the world's top industrial power, they quickly became a nightmare for the Western powers. What is even more serious is that the Western powers have not yet been able to unite, but have divided into two sides of fierce fighting, which undoubtedly gives those Chinese an excellent opportunity! It is conceivable that once the Chinese win the final victory in the war, the yellow race will once again rule the world, just like the history before the rise of the West.

"Now, do you have any objections to the retreat proposed by Admiral Pershing?" Theodore. President Roosevelt asked. He can't be arbitrary in this kind of big thing, and he needs to get the help of the cabinet members. However, he knew that at this time, no one should oppose him anymore.

It was at this time that the office was knocked. And then Theodore. President Roosevelt's secretary walked in.

"Your Excellency, General Pershing has sent the latest military news. The commander of the 19th Army, Lieutenant General Richard, led his army to surrender to the Chinese. And did not stick to Puebla as Admiral Pershing asked! The secretary said.

"What? How so? "Leonard. Admiral Wood immediately jumped to his feet. As an army general, he knew what kind of impact Lieutenant General Richard's surrender would have on General Pershing and the main force of the American army. The most direct thing is that the squadron can immediately go north and cut off the retreat of Admiral Pershing.

"That damn coward, he actually surrendered to the Chinese, he should be sent to a military tribunal, and then hanged!" The cabinet members yelled. As if, Admiral Pershing asked Lieutenant General Richard to send him to death as a matter of course, and Lieutenant General Richard's surrender was a crime that deserved death. However, they seem to have forgotten that even if Lieutenant General Richard were to be tried, it would have to wait until after the war was over. If the United States loses the war, they will all become slaves of the country, and it is even more delusional to try Lieutenant General Richard.

"That's it! General Wood, you immediately send a telegram to General Pershing that zhèngfu agrees with his retreat from central Mexico! "Theodore. President Roosevelt made a decision at once!
