"Damn the British guys, aren't they so powerful?
Why have they turned into trash now?
It's only been two months, no, less than a month and a half.
It's really true that they even lost London."
President Wilson suppressed his face and turned red.
Walking around the Oval Office like an angry trapped animal.
For President Wilson, the news of the fall of London came as a bolt from the blue.
He was so shocked by this astonishing information that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Of course, this is not because he likes Britain or has deep feelings for Britain.
You know, a standard American must meet the following conditions: First, believe in God.
Second, hate the British.
Of course, President Wilson was a standard American.
He always wished that the opium bull opposite him had his pigtails raised.
However, even if the opium cow wants to curl up, it must be done according to the American plan, not too early or too late.
If the opium cow is knocked down now, it will be too early.
At this time, the United States was not ready to accept the British inheritance, nor did it have the ability.
If Britain kneels down at this time, it will only take advantage of William II's lunacy.
There's something wrong with this script.
I've spent so much effort not just to benefit the Germans.
"Are those losers from the UK planning to surrender?"
He vented for a while before calming down a little.
Said to Secretary of State Robert Lansing standing aside.
Lansing shook his head and said: "Not yet, Mr.
President.
Their sense of resistance is still very resolute.
This is the only good news we have at the moment.
To quote their former Navy Secretary Churchill, it is: Even if they fight off the last one Indians and the British Empire will never surrender to Germany.
Well, their Prime Minister Lloyd George also said in private that he wants the British Empire to surrender unless all Indians die."
President Wilson's eyes twitched, obviously shocked by the British's shamelessness.
He put his hand on his forehead and said: "Oh, God, this is so shameless and despicable.
My God, what do they think of the poor Indians?
No wonder I hate these pirates and opium dealers so much."
Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo Jr., who was Wilson's son-in-law and also His hardcore.
Wilson nodded and said: "I know, so now we have to endure our nausea and help these pirates.
Damn, they are moving too fast.
If we join the war at this time, the losses will be huge."
He looked at the Army and Navy representatives and asked, "So, gentlemen, are our troops ready for war?"
Major General Shoescott, Chief of Staff of the Army, paused and said: "Mr.
President, according to our estimates, if we want to intervene in the European battlefield, we will need at least 100 divisions.
The initial investment should not be less than 10 divisions, plus the defense of the homeland.
We need at least 40 divisions before entering the war, but now our army has only 20 divisions and less than 600,000 people.
If we mobilize the National Guard of each state into a regular army division, it will take at least three months.
To reach the minimum 40 divisions” At this time, the U.S. infantry division had a strength of 28,000, making it the largest division-level establishment in the world.
The number of divisions is about double that of many countries, and the number can reach 40,000 when including support troops.

At that time, France, Russia, Germany and other countries generally had about 13,000-18,000 troops per division, and the British infantry division had about 19,000 troops.
Even for relatively large countries such as China and Japan, the number of divisions is only 2.426 million, including support troops.
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William Benson also said: "Mr.
President, our naval strength is insufficient now.
We currently only have twenty battleships, but eight of them are dreadnoughts with 310 mm main guns, which are already obsolete products.
There are only ten New York-class ships equipped with 360mm main guns, and two California-class ships equipped with 390mm main guns.
The sub-class can barely compete with the German new battleships.
The Germans currently have 4 dreadnoughts equipped with 310mm main guns, 9 super-dreadnoughts equipped with 360mm main guns, and 5 more, not counting pre-dreadnoughts.
The Bavaria-class battleships are powerful battleships equipped with 390mm main guns, and they also have six Dreadnought-class battlecruisers."
"If we want to join the war, we have to wait until at least five California-class ships are in service, otherwise we will not be able to fight against the German Bavaria-class ships."
Admiral Benson said with a helpless look.
The current U.S.
Navy is not the U.S.
Navy that could conquer the world in 1980.
After the British Empire's home fleet attacked, although their family fortune can be regarded as the second in the world, it is not as good as the world's best.
There is still a certain gap.
Most importantly, their navy lacked sufficient confidence.
There was nothing they could do.
They had beaten Spain, which had declined into a third-rate country, before, but they were really not sure if they had to face a second-rate man who was as good as taking expired aphrodisiacs with inferior equipment.
They have just transferred a number of old warships such as the former dreadnought to Britain and France.
Although they are all new warships now, the number does seem to be insufficient.
The U.S.
Navy now has a total of 18 battleships, including two South Carolina-class, Delaware-class, Florida-class, and Wyoming-class battleships.
These eight ships are all dreadnoughts with 310 mm main guns.
Next there are ten New York-class ships, which are the American version of the Fuxi-class ships with 360mm main guns.
Only two of the five 381mm California-class ships were put into service at the end of last year.
Even if they work overtime, the two remaining three ships with the fastest progress will not be put into service until the end of March.
The most optimistic estimate is that the latest one will not be put into service until the end of March. to August.
As for the six South Dakota-class ships that started construction last year, they are even gone.
Let me briefly mention here that the eight American dreadnoughts were originally equipped with 305mm main guns, but after they introduced the 310mm gun technology, they found that this gun was so good that it was much better than their 305mm main gun.
Much more powerful.
As a result, the wealthy Americans immediately replaced all their warships that could change the main guns with 310 mm main guns.
The California class is a class of battleships that did not exist in the original time and space.
They are actually enlarged versions of the New York class.
Their appearance and weapon layout are very similar.
That is, the main gun is replaced with a 381 mm, and the displacement is increased to 40,000 tons.
Of course, they still have the Langley experimental aircraft carrier and two Raider-class regular aircraft carriers.
However, they do not think that this kind of battleship can compete with the battleship on its own.
They regard this kind of battleship more as the battleship's eyes, ears and assisting hand. .
Hearing the two military bosses yelling no, Wilson's brain ached.
He said to the Secretary of State: "What do the Chinese say?"
"I have contacted their foreign minister, but there has been no reply yet," Lansing said.
"But according to the information we have received, the Chinese are not ready for war at the moment."
"It's all damning because the British are so useless.
If the Chinese participate with us, there is no need to worry.

They can mobilize at least a thousand divisions and 25 million people to participate in the war.
If they have a thousand divisions," Wilson muttered forehead said.
McAdoo said disapprovingly: "Mr.
President, this doesn't show much.
Although China's population is sufficient, I don't think they have the ability to support these one thousand divisions.
Even the cheapest infantry division, this military expenditure It will also be an astronomical figure.”
Chief of Staff Scott smiled and said: "I think if the Chinese are really willing to participate in the war, Britain and France will pay.
Of course, it doesn't need to be as exaggerated as a thousand divisions, as long as they can dispatch two hundred divisions , is completely enough to win this war."
"In fact, I don't think there is a big problem with the army.
The British have many colonies and mobilizing 300 divisions is not a problem.
What I hope is that China's navy and air force can participate in the war.
This is what we lack most.
They have the world The most powerful air force in the world, and the navy is not weak either.
If a Sino-US joint fleet can be formed, plus the remaining forces of the Japanese and Britain and France, they will not be weaker than the Allies," Admiral Benson said seriously.
Wilson covered his head and said: "Okay, I will personally send a telegram to Wen Desi, but I can't guarantee whether this guy will agree.
Wen Desi is an extremely cunning businessman and does not have enough interests.
He is He will definitely not agree.
But what we can take comfort in is that the Allies are even less likely to offer conditions that satisfy him.
At least I can be sure that he will not fall to the Allies. " He turned to Benson and asked: "Your Excellency, Admiral, if we only form a combined fleet with Japan, Britain and France, can we solve the Allied navies?"
Benson thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid this is not optimistic.
Now Britain and France combined only have four dreadnoughts, and Japan also has four.
Italy, Austria-Hungary and Turkey combined have twelve dreadnoughts.
If The Allied fleet in the Mediterranean can still be blocked, so if we join forces with Britain, France and Japan, we can still fight Germany.
But if Britain cannot block the Strait of Gibraltar, it will be difficult."
At this time, a secretary hurried in, holding a document and said to Wilson: "Mr.
President, the latest news is that the British and Japanese repelled the attack of the British, Austrian and Turkish fleets in the Strait of Gibraltar."
"Oh, let me take a look."
Wilson took the file and read it.
He took a few quick glances and suddenly shouted with joy: "Great!
The Japanese did a great job.
They sank three Allied pre-dreadnoughts and severely damaged the Turkish Suleiman the Magnificent.
Italy One of the dreadnoughts of Austria and Hungary hit a mine and was seriously injured.
Hahahaha.
It seems that there will be no problem for the time being in the Strait of Gibraltar.
Praise God, this is the best news I heard today
