"30% is enough?" Andrew Jackson asked, "Isn't the Ming Dynasty navy very strong? We can win with [-]% of their capital ships?"

"Mr. President," Secretary of the Navy John Blanche shook his head, "Actually, increasing the size of our capital ships to [-]% of that of Ming Dynasty is already a very difficult goal. All our large shipyards are operating at full capacity. Horsepower may not necessarily be achieved.”

"What, Daming is so powerful?" Andrew Jackson's slender old face was full of astonishment.

"Daming's industrial strength is indeed beyond our reach," John Blanche said, "Their comprehensive industrial strength may be fifteen to twenty times that of ours."

"It's so much worse?" Although Andrew Jackson knew that Daming's industry was strong, no one had ever assessed the industrial strength gap between Daming and the United States, so he, a great president who was born in the army, really didn't know the difference between the two. The gap is so big.

"There are almost that many," explained Secretary of State Martin Van Buren, "Da Ming's industrial strength is equivalent to six to seven times that of Britain. However, the gap between Ming and Britain in the shipbuilding industry is not that big. Last year, the tonnage of shipbuilding in the two countries was comparable. , so we still have a chance to defeat Daming."

"How to win?" asked the President of the United States.

John Blanche said: "Mr. President, the British have a plan . . . a victory plan with us."

He didn't continue here, but looked at Andrew Jackson.Because he knew that the American president had participated in the anti-British revolution at the age of 13, and was later a hero of the second American Revolutionary War.

This is an out-and-out anti-British president!
"Say it!" Andrew Jackson said, "There is no permanent enemy in the world. If we can't prevent Ming from invading the Americas, especially from the east coast of America, then our United States will never be able to stand on top of the world." Chance!

If we want to make America great, we must defeat the yellow peril of Ming Dynasty! "

"Mr. President," said John Blanche, "the plan we have formulated together with the British is to unite more Western countries to build a navy together and fight against Ming Dynasty.

We, the United States, strive to increase the size of capital ships to [-]% of that of Ming Dynasty. The goal of the United Kingdom and India is to increase the size of capital ships to [-]% of that of Ming Dynasty. Thirty percent of that of Ming Dynasty, and Austria and Prussia together can also reach [-] percent of that of Ming Dynasty.

If we, the United States, could join forces with Great Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, India, and perhaps the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, etc., then perhaps we could come up with an equivalent The size of the battleship of Ming Dynasty is 1.5 times or even more!

At least in terms of quantity, we can have a great advantage! "

In fact, the plan formulated by the U.S. Navy Department and the British Navy Department is still feasible.However, 1.5 times is not realistic for Ming, because Ming's industry accounts for more than [-]% of the world's industrial scale!

However, with such a large number of countries working together, it is still possible to increase the size of capital ships to a level comparable to that of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is only equivalent in quantity, not in quality.

"Can so many countries be united?" Andrew Jackson scratched his head, "How did I hear that the French Bourbon Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are very closely related?"

"Mr. President," said Secretary of State Martin Van Buren, "British Foreign Secretary Robert Peel believes that French public opinion is an option that the Bourbons, who oppose the yellow peril, cannot reject public opinion in the end. He also hopes that we, the United States, can send a delegation to the Vienna Peace Conference." , and accused Ming and Japan of their invasion of Texas at the peace meeting!"

"But Texas is the territory of Mexico." Andrew Jackson still knows who owns Texas?
"Mr. President," Martin Van Buren shook his head, "Texas is the land of white people!"

In fact Texas was Indian land. Still is!
At present, there are only 10,000+ whites and yellows living in Texas together, while the number of Indians there is far more than this number.

Van Buren said: "In the minds of Europeans, the entire Americas belong to the white people, including New Manchuria controlled by Ming. Malaya, the Dutch East Indies and the Western Southern Luzon are the natural spheres of influence of Ming. Therefore, Ming The expansion in Malaya will make it difficult for the whole of Europe to feel the threat of the Yellow Peril. But once the Europeans realize that the New World is also the target of the Yellow Peril, then they will immediately unite and stand by the British Empire and our United States.”

What the US Secretary of State said makes sense!Although Europeans have conquered British Malaya, Dutch East Indies, and Western Southern Luzon for many years, there are actually few white people in those areas. It is too hot and too far away from Europe, so East Asian and Southeast Asian races have always been is the absolute majority there.

Therefore, the white Europeans had long been psychologically prepared for the loss of British Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and the Spanish Southern Luzon, and it was easier to accept the failure of the whites there.

But in the minds of Europeans, the New World always belonged to them rather than the oriental race!

"Very good!" Andrew Jackson nodded, "All white people unite, this is exactly what we need! No matter how strong Ming is, it is impossible to defeat all white countries, and as long as we can unite with other white countries in the world Together to defeat Ming Dynasty, we can make America great!"

The American president puffed up his chest and looked at his secretary of state with piercing eyes, "Martin, I order you to go to Vienna in person to appeal to the white compatriots in Europe on behalf of the American people, so that they can unite against the Yellow Peril and the evil Ming Dynasty. The invasion of the white people's New World by the yellow race empire!"

Kingdom of Hawaii, Pearl Harbor.

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is naturally suitable as the home port of the large fleet. Now it is a huge construction site.

The construction of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base has already begun since the day the Kingdom of Hawaii changed its surname to Chu.Until the arrival of the Daming Pacific Fleet, Dagong still hadn't finished.

However, the Pearl Harbor Naval Base has already begun to take shape.Wharves, docks, warehouses, forts, towers, airports, camps, coal bunkers, oil depots, naval factories, and naval command centers have all sprung up everywhere.At the same time, there are more buildings under intense construction.

But standing on the top floor of the Pacific Fleet Naval Command Center building and looking into the harbor, only large and small ships and ships are scattered in the harbor, arranged in rows according to different ship types.The steel hull, which has been painted with protective colors, exudes an aura that makes all enemies feel shuddering under the Hawaiian sun.

As the admiral of this large fleet, Zhuge Weidao besides being excited at this time, is also looking forward to the victory of the war and the Great Ming World Empire.

"Military Gate," the voice of Huang Shuren, chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet, suddenly rang in Zhuge Weidao's ear, "I just received a telegram from Dezhou Haizi...they have arrived at the port of La Guaira in the Republic of Colombia.

In addition, the Texas Maritime Command also submitted a combat plan for attacking the Norfolk military port, requesting military approval. "

"Attack the Norfolk military port?" Zhuge Weidao didn't seem too surprised, as if everything had been expected, "That's all? Is there any more?"

"Military Gate," the Huang Shuren laughed, "Isn't it enough to attack Norfolk? That's the headquarters of the US Navy."

"Of course it's not enough!" Zhuge Weidao shook his head, "If they don't do it, they won't stop... Since they want to blow up Norfolk, let's blow up Wall Street too!"

"Wall Street?" Huang Shuren was taken aback, "Where is it?"

"New York, the Manhattan of New York!"
