Rise from the sword

Washington.

Chinese Embassy.

At the gate and inside the sentry box, several guards were holding semi-automatic rifles. Inside the house, Mr. Ambassador was sitting on the sofa, leisurely reading today's newspaper, and there was a cup of steaming hot tea on the table.

The guard who also served as the secretary yawned boredly aside.

Everything seems very leisurely.

After the last riot, the country sent people and funds to re-select a site near a wealthy residential area far away from the city center to build a new master hall, and strengthened the guards.

Coupled with this period of time, the exchanges between the two countries were almost interrupted, so that the embassy was almost out of work.

Everyone is free.

"Mr. Ambassador."

The telegram, the telephone room, jingling, the phone rang, and the secretary came to the ambassador after answering the phone.

At this time, the ambassador, who is usually tolerant and gentle to others, and strict with himself, actually tapped Erlang's legs and hummed about the domestic community, which was obviously in a good mood.

This surprised the secretary a little.

Although the embassy is very busy recently, the Yankee Pacific Fleet is aggressive and the international situation is changing. Everyone is actually very nervous, and Mr. Ambassador has not been able to sleep for several days.

Why is this so sudden?

What did the domestic secret report say last night?
The secretary remembered a high-level secret report from China last night.

"what's up?"

The ambassador withdrew his legs.

"The Presidential Palace of the United States is calling, and their president has asked to meet with you in the afternoon."

The secretary answered.

"not see."

The ambassador waved his hand:

"I'm not feeling well these days, I don't see customers, I don't work, and I'm closed for seven days."

After finishing speaking, he continued to read the newspaper, drank tea, and even crossed his legs again.

"what?!"

The secretary was dumbfounded.

And the ambassador refused to be summoned by the president?
The other party is not a department head or senior official, but the president!The person who wields the highest power in America.He actually refused the other party's summons.

"correct."

Mr. Ambassador suddenly continued to ask, with an interesting tone:
"Which president?"

"The president?"

The secretary froze again.

"It seems that there is no publicity yet."

The ambassador smiled and took another sip of the West Lake Longjing from China.

Europe suffered a disastrous defeat, 30 beautiful and strong soldiers were dumped, the mighty Pacific Fleet was wiped out in a few hours, the Manhattan Project was placed on the headlines of the newspapers, it is strange that the so-called wheelchair giant has not yet entered the hospital.

"correct."

The ambassador continued:

"In the past few days, I haven't seen any visitors, even if the president came in person, I didn't see them. I just said that I was frightened before and my body hasn't recovered yet."

"Ok."

The corner of the secretary's mouth twitched.

It's okay if the body hasn't recovered from the fright.

Although it was a thrilling time, no one expected the Americans to be so vicious that they deliberately dragged the police over, causing the mob with guns to rush into the embassy, ​​because there were too many people on the other side and the guards couldn't shoot.

But it was only a slight injury, and it was healed in half a month, and no traces could be seen.

·····
"I feel unwell and refuse to meet?"

The White House, entered the state, and Lao Du, who was enjoying his full strength, frowned when he heard the secretary's report.

This tone, this attitude, in fact, he is used to it.

As the president's substitute, the vice president is very important in name, but in fact, he has no power at all, and the whole thing is a decoration.

Without substantive power, naturally no one cares about him. He has no chance to intervene in major and minor matters in the country, and attending meetings is just an observer. If it weren't for the many affairs during the war, he would really just drink tea and read newspapers all day long.

But that was the time of the Vice President.

right now,

He is the President of the United States of America, one of the most powerful people in this country.

How could she still treat him like this!
"Then when can we meet?"

Although he was very upset, but thinking of the tragedy of the Pacific Fleet, the spies all over the country, and the 30 prisoners who had just been annihilated in Europe, Lao Du took a deep breath, and then let it out very slowly.

He endured this tone.

"I asked."

The secretary answered.

After all, he is the chief secretary of the president. He handles affairs well and considers everything from the beginning to the end. There is no such thing as a single stick and one step at a time. One thing will be planned in detail before and after.

"they said."

After a pause, the secretary continued:
"Because of the previous injury, the ambassador was unwell and closed for seven days. During this period, he did not handle any business and saw no one."

"..."

The corners of Lao Du's eyes twitched.

On purpose, they definitely did.

Find a bunch of lame reasons, deliberately ignore him, deliberately disgust him, and use this to disown the United States.

For a moment, his breathing became short of breath.

He took a deep breath again, and then let it out vigorously. After repeating it several times, Lao Du finally controlled his emotions, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

"Call me to express condolences, and then continue to make an appointment."

Lao Du word by word:
"My meeting with the other party has the highest priority."

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Today, the Pacific Fleet has been completely wiped out, and the European war situation is at a disadvantage. Facing the two top powers, the United States must choose one side to compromise, retreat, or even give in and bow its head.

In order to avoid the desperate ending of two countries uniting.

In comparison, losing Europe is more unacceptable and fatal to the United States than losing the Asia-Pacific region and the Austrian region.

Moreover.

Although the technology on the other side of the mainland is unbelievably strong, after all, the little devils have just been kicked out, and there are serious shortcomings. The main core is national construction, national education, roads, railways and other infrastructure construction, urbanization, and industrialization.

And they have already demonstrated advanced technology, the United States only needs to follow the research, which can save a lot of time and energy.

After all, the birthplace and core of the world's modern civilization is in Europe and the United States, and it is in the Caucasian people.

The United States, with its strong economic strength and deep heritage, has also gathered all the top talents in the world. As long as it increases its investment, it will surely be able to quickly catch up with or even surpass the other side in terms of technology.

But all this takes time.

And currently.

Although the offensive force on the other side is insufficient and the external deterrence is insufficient, this does not prevent them from being the strongest armed force in the world. They may not even be one of them, and they are far beyond the second in the world.

He can only bow his head.

"Ok."

The secretary opened his mouth, but fell silent in the end.

As the president's secretary, he is naturally aware of the international situation. At this moment, he can only feel in his heart that the world's military situation is changing, and it is really unpredictable.

At this moment, a staff member of the presidential palace rushed in and handed a newspaper and the accompanying translation to the president:

"President, this is today's Ping An Daily, I think you need to read it."

"Ping An Daily?!"

Old Du's heart skipped a beat.

Cripple Luo was scared to death by this newspaper, but it hasn't been announced yet.

"what news?"

Glancing at the secretary, Lao Du carefully opened the original document without touching the translated document, and he asked.

"The photos of the Pacific battlefield, they put it on the front page."

The secretary's tone was filled with anger.

Without notice, more than a dozen sunken and burning American warships were placed on the front page of the newspaper. The other side really did not give the United States of America any face!

"Oh··"

It's not new news... Old Du breathed a sigh of relief.

He flipped through the newspaper and looked at the picture on the front page.

I don't know what printing technology it is, but the photos in the opposite newspaper are much clearer than those in the United States.

The first page is all photos.

The first one is super large, with burning and sunken dozens of American warships, and the next ones are partial details.

Among them, the most conspicuous one is the sinking USS Missouri, the American flag floating next to it, the navy flag, and American sailors who are calling for help. The background is somewhat blurred. The sunken aircraft carrier can be seen to the west. The heavy cruiser , and American sailors all over the sea.

Finally, there is the scene of the launch of the Guam missile, the long tail flames, and the traces left by the tail flames.

The second page is a description of the specific battle, including warnings, then launching, and the end of the battle, receiving Nimitz's surrender telegram, and finally sending planes and warships to rescue people.

"Hey····"

Old Du sighed deeply.

As soon as the newspaper came out, things got even more troublesome.

He doesn't know how to suppress this matter. Once someone has ulterior motives and uses it to agitate the people in the country, it will be a big trouble.Maybe he will be coerced by public opinion.

"When will Nimitz come back?"

After thinking for a long time, Lao Du decided to find someone to take the blame.

Otherwise, this matter cannot be suppressed.

He didn't want to have a direct confrontation with the other side. The exposed strength of the other side had no chance of winning in a fight. Once the other side established a 'warehouse' in South America, it would be a big trouble.

However, the domestic 'people' are easy to be used by others, and they can be blamed.

Fortunately, this newspaper will not appear in the country for a short time.

Old Du was very happy.

During the war, the United States had a strong control over public opinion. Coupled with the previous disengagement with the mainland on the other side, there was no communication channel at all. Except for the official, other people, mainly ordinary people, could not know about this newspaper.

As long as he finds a way to cover up before the people know the truth, it will be fine.

"It will be there tomorrow."

The secretary answered.

Although surrendered, Nimitz was not captured, but let the opponent leave.

Nimitz, who was almost frightened, did not dare to stop at all. The Iowa battleship, which was only slightly injured, ran back to Pearl Harbor at full speed, and then flew directly back to Washington by plane.

"Let him come to me at once."

Old Du said.

"President, Prime Minister Austria has sent a telegram..."

"Ignore them."

Before the secretary finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Du.

Are you still meddling in O's affairs?
Stay where it is cool.

"Then, what about the 70 Austrian troops in Europe? General Eisenhower called. Although these troops are now split up and scattered in regiments, they are still a hidden danger."

The secretary continued to ask.

There was a passage between the secretary that was left unspoken, and Lao Du knew it well.
"Um···"

Old Du fell into deep thought.

Although the negotiation has not yet started, but with the tough attitude of the other side, Ao must give up.

Ao is not important, but he is also a good ally.

He had to think of a good way that would not affect other countries. After all, there are still many countries in South America participating in the war in Europe, without offending the other side, and at the same time appeasing the people of Austria.

In other words, Jean Austria will not affect the overall situation.

Putting troops on the front line on a large scale is definitely not enough. The Austrian general is not an idiot. This move can only solve part of it, and it will not work if it is all put back. Not to mention affecting other cannon fodder, it will also offend the other side. Putting back 30 to [-] is already the limit.

After thinking for a while, Lao Du finally set his sights on the mainland of the British Empire.

He remembered that the Germans had used a new type of bomb, similar to land mines, which had caused a great deal of trouble on the British mainland, where it was necessary to clear the mines.Ground air defense also needs to be strengthened.

If you are not on the front line, the impact will not be great.

It is relatively simple to deal with crimes and disobedience to orders.

"correct."

Old Du suddenly said:

"How many Austrians have you gone back?"

After the miners' self-defense force made troubles, the Austrian Prime Minister asked some Austrian troops to go back, which was also agreed by the European High Command of the Allied Forces. Although the Austrian Prime Minister changed, this order continued to be implemented.

"The first batch of [-] troops and weapons and equipment have already set off."

The secretary replied:

"The second batch has [-] people and is expected to leave next week."

"Soldiers can go back, but tanks, planes, and [-]-caliber heavy artillery must stay."

Old Du said slowly.

Although he was not involved in the decision-making, he can also think that sending back tens of thousands of Austrian troops is nothing more than adding obstacles to the other side and appeasing allies, but now, this is meaningless.

"Yes."

The secretary nodded.

······
australia.

In the Prime Minister's Office, the new Prime Minister looked at the secretary with an unbelievable tone:

"No reply?"

He was a little dazed.

"Correct."

The secretary nodded:
"I sent seven contact requests in a row, five hours apart, but there was no reply from the other side."

Gulu... Swallowing his throat with difficulty, Prime Minister Xin'ao looked down at the latest "Independence Daily" on the table, and couldn't help swallowing his throat again and again. At the same time, drops of cold sweat fell on his forehead.

Is it true?
The incomparably powerful American Pacific Fleet is actually just a balloon that was blown up. In just a few hours, it was punctured and wiped out easily by the other side?

"impossible."

"This is impossible."

"It's absolutely impossible."

After a series of shaking his head, Prime Minister Austria got up and walked back and forth, muttering again and again, and after a while, he said to the secretary beside him:

"Continue to contact the United States."

Prime Minister Austria also had his reasonable guesses in mind.

He already knew the news of the great defeat in Europe. The 30 troops in the United States were eaten by the Germans. Coupled with the possible defeat in the Pacific Ocean, it is impossible to fail as badly as the propaganda on the other side.

This is not common sense.

No matter how powerful the missiles are, would the strongest naval fleet in history be wiped out in less than an hour?
But failure is inevitable, otherwise the other side would not have made such a big publicity.

Also, the leaked information about the Manhattan Project, when all these things are superimposed, it is very likely that there is something wrong with Mr. Franklin, who has been in poor health.

At present, the top leaders of the United States are in chaos, and power is being handed over and transitioned.
So have to wait.

"Yes."

The secretary glanced at his prime minister and nodded slowly.

"prime minister."

Suddenly, a military general rushed in with a flustered tone:

"The miners' self-defense force launched an attack. The 37th regiment stationed in Jabi was defeated. They are continuing to attack westward along the inland road."

"Jabby."

The Prime Minister quickly found Jabi's location on the map.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, coupled with the fact that he has just taken office as the prime minister and is not familiar with his own territory, so that it took the prime minister a lot of time to find Jabi, a city in the northwest of Ottoman.

"Where is their destination?"

The prime minister looked at the military generals beside him.

"should be."

The military general hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Darwin."

The Prime Minister's scalp tingled for a while.

Darwin is one of the best ports in the north, and it can berth [-] tons of ships. The Japanese have bombed here before, and what's more troublesome is that this is the place with the highest concentration of aborigines and yellow monkeys.

none of them.

Once the port is occupied by this riot team.

That····

"Let the navy set off immediately and go to Darwin."

Although the army went to Europe to participate in the war, the 10,000 troops and equipment that came back are still on the way, and the remaining [-]+ have not yet boarded the ship, but the Austrian Navy still has a lot of foundation.

Originally, the Austrian navy was escorting in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, or entangled with the little devils. After the US strategically withdrew from the Pacific Ocean and the German navy shrank, some of them withdrew to the mainland, and incidentally received some equipment ships left by the Americans.

Currently there are two light aircraft carriers, three heavy cruisers, five destroyers, and a large number of auxiliary ships.

The two light escort aircraft carriers have already been abolished, and the carrier-based aircraft squadron was destroyed by the regiment on the other side. There was not one left, and the shore-based aviation was also abolished.

Three heavy cruisers, one is the American Northampton-class heavy cruiser USS Augusta, and the other two are the American Portland-class heavy cruiser USS Portland and USS Indianapolis.

The five destroyers were all American Fletchers, and the Greaves class.

"Where is the navy on the other side?"

After finishing speaking, the Prime Minister asked with some concern.

The Austrian navy has no problem dealing with a little army, but if it encounters the navy on the other side, it will still be very troublesome.

No, it should be dead. I am afraid that even one ship will not escape. I looked down at the newspaper on the table. Prime Minister Austria retracted his thoughts.

"It's all in Guam."

The secretary replied:

"In addition, they officially said that they will not directly intervene in the Austrian conflict, nor will they send troops to directly participate in the war."

"it is good."

Prime Minister Austria nodded.

This kind of public statement, and the statement made in front of the whole country and the whole world, should not be violated by the other party, at least not openly, so basically you don't have to worry about directly participating in the war against the main force of the anti-navy and air force.

But then, his brows furrowed deeply.

The other side does not directly participate in the war, so what is the plan?
······
a few days ago.

"Brother Yunlong, what did you say?"

Chu Yunfei held the phone, his eyes widened.

"Hey hey..."

Amidst the laughter of the magic standard, Li Yunlong's voice came from the microphone:
"Although we belong to different forces, we are allies after all. Those who fight devils together are also Chinese. We speak Chinese and use Chinese characters. Logically, we should help each other."

"You now have an army and an air force. It's time to form a navy."

"I have two U.S. Iowa-class battleships, a Midway-class aircraft carrier, two Des Moines-class heavy cruisers, and two Fletcher destroyers. They are all built with the latest technology in the United States. To brother."

"hey-hey····"

"Well, my friend is interesting enough."

"Hahaha···"

Chu Yunfei glanced at the map of Northwest Austria in front of him, and immediately burst out laughing together:
"Since Brother Yunlong sent you off sincerely, then I won't be polite to you."

He understands.

After all, Austria is a country, and it is not easy for the other party to intervene directly, but it is entirely possible for oneself.

He is the army of candied fruit.

There are also some old navy talents under his hands. These people did not take refuge in Li Yunlong and the others because they did not deal with each other, some previous conflicts, and some because their hands and feet were not clean.

With these people, it is no problem to master a few warships.

However, two of the most advanced and top battleships in the United States, two of the most advanced heavy cruisers in the United States, and a super aircraft carrier in the United States, it is also a big project to master.

"We brothers, who is with whom?"

Li Yunlong spoke loudly:
"By the way, I still have some devil's naval prisoners here, some of them are technicians, and some grassroots naval officers who have not been brainwashed. They are all devils who have not committed any serious crimes. I really have no place to detain them. Brother Yunfei, please help me find a place to detain him."

"These people can be released after a few years of reformation, and I will also call you the reformation fee."

"Haha, okay, brother will definitely help with this matter."

Chu Yunfei patted his chest.

With these devils' naval technicians and grassroots officers, there will be no major problems in mastering these ships.
