Chapter 1388 Declaration of war? You don’t want any money! (Fourth update, please subscribe)
The U.S. State Department building, also known as the Truman Building, does not exist in this world, at least it has not been built yet.
At this time, the Secretary of State's official residence was just an official residence-style building similar to the White House. The Secretary of State lived and worked here. Of course, it was very small in scale. At most, it was equivalent to an ordinary American manor. Every time after the summer, the Secretary of State would
Banquets would be held on the lawn in front of the main house to entertain envoys from various countries.
Of course Wang Xueli was also a frequent visitor. When he was still a few hundred meters away from the Secretary of State's official residence, he asked the driver to stop. It was still a bit early. The reason why he came early was because he was worried about being delayed on the way.
"It must be urgent!"
The moment the car drove into the Secretary of State's office, Wang Xueli couldn't help but feel a little lost when he looked at the green courtyard. It was obvious that he would no longer be able to attend a banquet here like in previous years.
After the car stopped in front of the official residence, Wang Xueli took a look at the time, which was six-fifty.
Neither early nor late.
Under the guidance of a staff member, Wang Xueli, who was carrying a briefcase, arrived outside the Secretary of State's office on the left side of the first floor. Two minutes later, Smith, assistant to the Secretary of State, walked out of the office.
"Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Secretary of State has arrived. I hope your intrusion is worth it!"
Smith glanced at the ambassador of the Ming Empire in front of him with some confusion. He had been awakened by calls from the imperial embassy since six in the morning. Then they repeatedly asked to meet with Secretary of State Gresham. If it weren't for the special period now,
Of course he would refuse such an unreasonable request.
However, now... the situation is tense, who knows what will happen?
"Mr. Smith, I believe the Secretary of State will not think so!"
Smith opened the door and walked in.
Wang Xueli, who followed him into the office, looked at Walter Quentin Gresham, who looked sleepy. The Secretary of State must not have slept well last night.
It's been a very eventful time lately.
"Mr. Secretary!"
Although he was disturbed in his sleep, Gresham did not show any displeasure because of it, but said with a smile.
"Ambassador Wang, don't you know what's the reason for the urgent appointment so early? I think you must not have had breakfast yet! If you don't mind, I think we can talk while eating! Well, we are all very concerned about it.
The question of peace in America!”
Once again, Gresham put forward his proposal, the so-called "Pax Americana", which was a proposal from the United States that the empire and even the entire Americas should remain neutral in the European conflict.
In other words, the Ming Empire compromised with the British on the "Kuwait Incident". Although this was very difficult, the United States has been trying to mediate. After all, for the United States, they are more inclined to start a war with the Ming Dynasty than to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.
War wealth, just like now... the war has just started over there, and the United States has already received orders worth hundreds of millions of dollars from Britain and Germany.
God bless!
Make money first!
As for fighting...it's better not to fight for the time being.
Of course, we will definitely still have to fight in the future, but for now, let’s make money first!
"Thank you Mr. Secretary for your kindness!"
While declining the breakfast invitation, Wang Xueli raised his hand and looked at his watch.
It's exactly 6:58 Eastern Time.
Taking a deep breath, he took out a document from the document bag and handed it over with both hands.
"Mr. Secretary of State, it is now 6:58 a.m. Eastern Time on April 21, 1995. On behalf of the imperial government, I officially declare that from now on, the Ming Empire and the United States of America are in a state of war!"
When he said this sentence, Wang Xueli's mood seemed a little complicated... It finally started!
For a moment, Gresham had an illusion. He even thought he heard something wrong.
"What?"
"From now on, the Ming Empire and the United States of America are in a state of war!!"
Wang Xueli repeated again.
Looking through the document in his hand, Gresham simply ignored the diplomatic rhetoric in it. There was only one word left in his eyes - a state of war!
At this time, there was already a storm in his heart. How could this be possible? The Ming Empire was going to war?
They don't want the money anymore?
The French and Russians ordered a lot of things from them.
Lifting his eyes, Gresham had a look of deep confusion in his eyes.
"Mr. Ambassador...are you sure? This...this is war!"
"It's a pity though! I can only obey the orders of the imperial government!"
There was regret in his mouth, but there was no regret on Wang Xueli's face.
Faced with the sudden declaration of war, Gresham did not even react until the Ming Empire ambassador left. After a full minute, Gresham grabbed the phone on his desk.
“Take over the White House!”
…
Flying is almost the same as sailing on the sea, and the sea of clouds is similar to the sea. Even if you fly in the direction of Hampton, you may deviate from the route unknowingly. At this time, you need to constantly use the sextant and longitude table.
Determine the adjustment position.
But even so, some errors will still occur. By constantly adjusting the course, the aircraft always maintains its course.
However, the long voyage still made people a little nervous. It was already 6:50, and the fleet had taken off for nearly two hours, but they still couldn't see the coastline of the eastern coast of the United States from the air.
"Did the reconnaissance plane fly over enemy territory? Did their reconnaissance go well?"
Lu Deren, who was a little confused, couldn't help but stare ahead, as if he wanted to see the clouds ahead and the scenery on the earth.
Just at this moment, the clouds below the plane became thinner and thinner. Through the gap between the sea of clouds, Lu Deren saw a long white band - it was the long white band formed by the waves crashing on the coast.
Coastline!
"Look, look down, does it look like a coast?"
Lu Deren pointed forward with some excitement.
"Yes, sir, it's the coast!"
Sun An quickly unfolded the aviation map of the Hampton area to check the location of the aircraft group. By comparing the terrain, he quickly determined the location of the aircraft group.
"Sir, now turn left and follow the coast to the northeastern side of the Virginia Peninsula."
According to their past training, they would cut into the anchorage from the Virginia Peninsula. In this era, the sea warning was limited to the sea and the land direction... there was almost no possibility of a surprise attack, and they could suddenly rush to the anchorage.
"Turn left."
Under the control of Lu Deren, the commander's aircraft turned sharply to the left, and the following formation followed the lead aircraft and turned to the left. During the turn, Lu Deren could clearly see the following formation from the commander's aircraft. After fixing the joystick, he stood up
, and began to count the planes in the sky.
"Very good. Not a single plane left behind."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lu Deren thought to himself that long-term training is still very effective.
After sitting back in the cabin, Lu Deren asked Liu An behind him.
"Did the reconnaissance plane report the situation?"
The commander's aircraft is also equipped with a radio.
"Sir, the reconnaissance plane has not sent back its report yet."
According to the previous agreement, if the reconnaissance plane discovers the situation, it will break the radio silence to notify the raiding group. So far, no telegram has been sent back, which means that everything is going well.
This was actually a good thing. After hearing the news, Lu Deren couldn't help but feel relieved.
"The reconnaissance plane has not reported the situation yet. It seems that our surprise attack will definitely succeed!"
Sun An, who observed the marking points on the ground from the air, nodded.
"Sir, we will definitely succeed this time."
"Okay! Give the deployment order. The dive bombers will follow the direction and take a detour from the west wing!"
"yes."
Sun An raised his flare gun and fired a flare outside the aircraft. A fire dragon dragged smoke and broke the blue sky of the Virginia Peninsula.
This is the signal to order the troops to deploy.
The old group has died and a new book club group has been established: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
