The impact and destructive power of rumors is undoubtedly terrifying, especially in war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Chinese Empire had no plans to land on American soil for a long time. However, if the Americans want to mess with themselves, the Chinese Empire is undoubtedly very happy to see it. This was very advantageous for the Chinese Empire.

Although the industrial centers of the United States are concentrated on the East Coast, although the West Coast is already developing, it is still far from being compared with the East Coast. However, if Americans living on the West Coast fled to the East Coast in one go, what a great turmoil and impact it would cause to American society! It would even seriously affect the war potential of the United States, thus further increasing the chances of victory for the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the Chinese Empire was very happy to see such a situation, and even deliberately played a role in contributing to it.

The intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Chinese Empire on the West Coast of the United States also joined in spreading rumors, and when most Americans living on the West Coast of the United States thought that war was going to befall them, no matter how much they refuted the rumors, it was useless. What everyone has already decided on is not something that can be easily reversed.

By the time the U.S. government realized the situation, it was too late. Although, under the coercive order of the US government, the Los Angeles Times no longer printed supplements. However, the news has already spread. It's too late to stop it. In addition, the US government's practice of news control has also confirmed the speculation of many Americans that the United States has been defeated, and when there is no way, it has to adopt such methods to control the press and avoid letting Americans know the truth. This further exacerbated the panic on the West Coast.

"Hey kids, go pack your things, I've already bought my train tickets. Three hours later, we boarded the train and left this damn place. A man named Hughes said to his wife and children.

"Great, dear, you actually sold train tickets. I've heard that train tickets are not selling well nowadays. The wife said happily.

"Of course, the entire train station was already crowded, full of people dragging their families and trying to flee the West Coast. Luckily, I have friends who work at the train station, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy a train ticket. Okay, dear, don't waste time, we need to go to the train station early, we don't have much time left. Hughes said.

"Okay, dear. What about our house, though? What about your company? The wife was a little worried. Their industries are on the West Coast, and if they leave here, even if they flee to the East Coast, their lives will be in trouble.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it. I have already sold the company to someone else, although the price is relatively low, but at least enough for us to live for a long time. When I go to the East Coast, I'm going to look for a job. As for the house, I can't sell it for the time being, so I can only stay here. Perhaps, when the war is over, we will have a chance to come back. Hughes said.

Leaving the West Coast and giving up the foundation he had created single-handedly, of course, he was very reluctant. However, he had no choice but to stay in this dangerous place. Even if he doesn't care about his own safety, he must ensure the safety of his wife and children.

"Damn the Chinese, why are they fighting with us? Don't they know that fighting a war is a matter of death? May God bless us, those damned Chinese, and curse them all to hell when they die. The wife complained as she packed her bags.

Theseus smiled, but didn't say anything more. Of course, he wanted the war not to happen, if he could. However, such a major event as war is obviously not something that ordinary people like them can decide. The only thing they can do is probably survive the war. In addition, judging from the information we have learned so far, it is clear that the Chinese Empire has the absolute upper hand in it. The vast majority of those who died in the war were Americans. He also does not know when this war will end and whether the United States will be able to win it. However, the most important thing in front of him is to survive this war. He also has a family to support.

When the Hughes arrived at the train station with their luggage, the entire train station was already crowded with people. It's full of people with luggage, dragging their families and preparing to leave the West Coast.

Of course, this is still the reason why a large number of people drive away from the West Coast on their own. If all of them are crowded into the train station, with the capacity of the Pacific Railroad, it will be even more unbearable.

"Damn, why are there so many people." Theseus's brow furrowed tightly. In such a crowded train station, it is undoubtedly very difficult to squeeze into the waiting hall. Not to mention that they also had two children with them and a lot of salutes.

"Oh God! Theseus, what should we do? The wife asked.

"There's no way, you take care of the child, I'll lead the way in front. Either way, we'll have to get out of the West Coast. Hughes said.

Hughes then dragged his suitcase into the crowd, while his wife and two children followed him. It's so crowded that you waste a lot of time every step forward. In addition, Hughes is a person who sits in an office, and such manual work is even more difficult for him. After an hour of cramming, the Theseus family squeezed into the waiting hall. At that time, they were already exhausted. The two children were even more crying, they were obviously frightened by such a battle.

Families like the Hughes family were lucky enough to be able to get a train ticket to the eastern United States. There are many more Americans who don't have the means to get train tickets and have to travel to the eastern part of the United States by other means.

The highway from the West Coast to the eastern part of the United States is full of Americans with their families in tow. Some of them were in private cars, some in trucks, and some even on horseback. It's a long way from the west coast of the United States to the eastern part of the United States. Successfully traversing the mountains and deserts and plains of the central United States is not an easy task.

However, the belief in survival still supports these Americans, and they are gradually fleeing to the east of the United States, to the west coast.

The U.S. government has repeatedly issued statements telling the American people that the West Coast of the United States is safe and that the U.S. military* has the ability to protect people's statements and property. However, not many Americans are willing to believe the statements of the US government anymore. A naval base like San Diego, which was so heavily fortified, was destroyed, let alone any other city. Therefore, those Americans living on the west coast of the United States, while cursing the incompetence of the US government, are trying to escape the United States by all means.

"Gentlemen, what shall we do? Tens of millions of Americans are flocking from the West Coast to the Mideast. What can we do to deal with this? President Roosevelt asked with a dark face.

"Your Excellency, the Government has made several announcements. However, it still did not help to stop the panic among the people. Secretary of State Kirdell Hull said helplessly.

"It's all the damn news media, and if it weren't for their nonsense and wanton exaggeration, they wouldn't have had such an impact." This was stated by Home Secretary Harold L. Ix.

"Gentlemen, it is useless to talk about this now, we need to find a way to solve the current crisis. If the crisis is allowed to develop, it will have an immeasurable impact on American society. Those who fled from the West Coast to the Central and Eastern Regions, they would bring panic to the Central and Eastern Regions. This will make the U.S. government more volatile, especially when we are at war with the Chinese. Secretary of War Harry H. Woodlin said.

Roosevelt nodded, at a time when the United States was preparing to go all out to fight a war with the Chinese Empire, such a thing happened that it was indeed detrimental to the abolition of the United States.

"There must be Chinese in this, otherwise there would not have been such a big impact."

The senior officials of the US government are all talking nonsense, but they have no way to solve such problems.

"Unless we can defeat the Chinese on the battlefield and let the American people know that the military is capable of protecting them." In this way, the doubts in their hearts will be dispelled, and they will be able to build up their confidence. Commerce Secretary Hopkins said.

However, alas, the American* army does not seem to have this capability at all now. Neither the US Navy nor the US Army can defeat the Chinese* army at this stage. For them, the Chinese* army is simply too strong.

"If you want to defeat the Chinese now, it is simply unrealistic. Our army simply does not have such strength. The only way is to appease those people as much as possible and find a way to survive this time. Roosevelt said.

He felt that the current situation in the United States was very bad, and it could be described as internal and external troubles. The U.S. * army was defeated by the Chinese * army on the battlefield, not only was it about to lose the Hawaiian Islands and many islands in the Pacific Ocean, but even the US mainland was attacked by the Chinese, and the losses were extremely heavy. This kind of turmoil has occurred in the country again, which has undoubtedly further shaken the foundation of the United States! It will undoubtedly be more difficult for the United States to win the next war. Although Roosevelt was very confident about future wars, many Americans were not confident in this at all?
