On January 5, 1907, the East China Sea Fleet left Santa Cruz for Santa Fleet in a farewell voice, because there, US President Theodore Roosevelt would personally welcome the East China Fleet from the Far East China.

When the East China Sea Fleet entered the San Francisco Bay, the dock was already full of American politicians and senior military figures. This time the welcoming ceremony was much more formal than Santa Cruz. If the welcoming form of the town of Santa Cruz is mainly folk, then this welcoming ceremony in San Francisco Bay is officially formal.

When Roosevelt saw the powerful lineup of the East China Sea Fleet with his own eyes, he was also stunned. Although there were only four battleships, one of the Fearless still shocked Roosevelt's arrogant heart.

Roosevelt had never seen such a perfect battleship, with a giant tonnage of more than 16,000 tons, and three triple main guns showed its unchallenging powerful firepower. Although Roosevelt obtained various data about the USS Defence from the USS intelligence agencies when the British purchased the USS Defence battleship, the close-range shock still excited Roosevelt when he saw it with his own eyes.

The first thought flashed in his mind was: How great would it be if the United States could have such a Fearless battleship!

Tang Jian, Tang Shaoyi, Cheng Biguang and other senior generals got off the gangway of the Fearless and boarded three barges.

After getting ashore, Roosevelt immediately led all the White House officials to greet him. Roosevelt took the lead in extending his right hand and said, "Welcome to you, VIPs from the Far East! Hello, President Tang Jian, US President Theodore Roosevelt!"

Roosevelt in front of him was much younger than Tang Jian had imagined. A few cold lights were shot out intentionally or unintentionally, but the frameless glasses on the bridge of his nose cleverly blocked the sharpness in his eyes. Moreover, Roosevelt was strong and he was obviously a person who exercised regularly.

Tang Jian stretched out his right hand and smiled and said, "Chinese President Tang Jian!"

Roosevelt's hands were thick and powerful! This was the first thought that flashed in his mind when Tang Jian and Roosevelt had their first close contact.

Tang Jian joked: "President Roosevelt, I can call you Teddy (Roosevelt's nickname, the Teddy Bear was also produced by a personal story by Roosevelt. If you have time, can you read interesting news about Teddy Bears)?"

Roosevelt was stunned and then smiled, "Of course, haha!" The White House officials and military generals behind Roosevelt smiled knowingly. They did not expect that this Chinese President Tang Jian not only spoke fluent English, but also had Western humor. Everyone couldn't help but look at Tang Jian twice.

Roosevelt also smiled and said, "In order to see equality, can I call you Don?"

Tang Jian replied: "Why not?"

"Haha..." Roosevelt and Tang Jian looked at each other and laughed. The two of them hugged each other with Western etiquette. Others looked like friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Roosevelt introduced to Tang Jian one by one the White House officials behind him, including the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Treasury, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and several generals of the Navy and Army in the military.

Tang Jian shook hands with these members of the US government one by one. Then, Roosevelt introduced some American civil representatives. Among them, when Roosevelt introduced a young American, Tang Jian's eyes lit up.

Roosevelt pointed to the young man in his twenties behind him and said, "This is my nephew named Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who is now studying at Columbia University Law School."

Roosevelt Jr.! Tang Jian was secretly surprised and said, this visit to the United States is worth this trip. Unexpectedly, he met two Roosevelts in San Francisco. It was Roosevelt Jr. who led the United States to win World War II, as famous as Lincoln and Washington.

Tang Jian and Roosevelt little shook hands cordially. Tang Jian smiled and said to the young man who was a few years younger than him: "Pray God to never let you be the president of the United States!"

Roosevelt was stunned for a moment and suddenly couldn't understand what Tang Jian said.

Tang Jian nodded, not giving Roosevelt a chance to ask, and continued to shake hands with others and say hello.

When Tang Jian introduced that Tang Shaoyi was a senior who was several years older than Roosevelt, Roosevelt showed a surprised expression. Roosevelt said, "I really didn't expect it! It turns out that you are still one of my seniors!" As he said that, Roosevelt and Tang Shaoyi hugged each other cordially.

After the welcoming ceremony, Roosevelt personally took Tang Jian to visit various important attractions in San Francisco, and served as a tour guide to explain the characteristics of each attractions to Tang Jian.

Under Roosevelt's guidance, Tang Jian kept a faint smile, not talking about the little things about this Chinese-Japanese War, nor did he talk about the real purpose of coming to the United States this time. Moreover, Roosevelt did not ask, but just gave a tour guide to Tang Jian conscientiously.

On the third day, Roosevelt finally couldn't help it and asked: "Dang, why are you waiting to bring a main fleet to the United States to visit when the situation in North Korea is so tense?"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Teddy, you should know better than me, right?"

Roosevelt asked back, "I know very well? I think Don, you should know better than me?"

Tang Jian said: "I like smart people!"

Roosevelt replied, "I am the same as you."

Tang Jian shrugged. He knew that Roosevelt was in circles with him, but time was tight. Tang Jian didn't want to waste too much time in the United States. He just wanted to achieve the goal of visiting the other half of the United States. After all, the China-Japan War has not ended yet.

Tang Jian asked, "Teddy, this time I brought some good things from China. Are you interested in taking a look?"

"Of course!" Roosevelt raised his brow and smiled, "Tang, since you have brought these things from thousands of miles away, it is of course worth seeing."

Tang Jian brought everyone to the port again. At this time, a simple warehouse had been built on an open space in the port. All the things Tang Jian brought from China had been transferred here from the ship.

Roosevelt and others were waiting for Tang Jian to showcase the good things he brought from China.

With the roar of the engine, four brand new cars slowly drove out of the warehouse. When Roosevelt and others saw these exquisitely shaped cars, their eyes suddenly shone.

Roosevelt always believed that Ford in the United States was the most advanced car in the world, but today, Ford and Huaxia cars were simply pale in comparison. Roosevelt was a person who dared to try new things and had an adventurous spirit, so he drove the car himself and was quite familiar with the car.

However, these four cars in China are a perfect work of art, whether from the engine noise or the exquisite appearance!

Tang Jian looked at Roosevelt's eager expression and asked, "Teddy, do you want to give it a try?"

"Why not?" Roosevelt said, rubbing his hands.

A secret service officer behind Roosevelt made a stop action. Because McKin was assassinated by President McKin, Roosevelt became the first president to receive 24/7 protection from the Secret Service.

Roosevelt waved his hand unconsciously and got into one of the cars accompanied by Tang Jian. Tang Jian sat in the passenger seat, and Roosevelt skillfully sat in the driver's seat.

Tang Jian didn't expect that Roosevelt's driving water would be so good. The car skillfully completed various movements under his control.

Roosevelt stopped the car, circled around it for a few times, and praised: "God! What a clever work of art!"

After getting off the car, Tang Jian walked to Roosevelt and smiled and said, "Teddy, this is just a small part, and there are more exciting things!"

"Oh?" This perfect car has fully mobilized Roosevelt's curiosity. Roosevelt asked with vague hope: "I'm looking forward to it!"

Tang Jian winked. At this time, a huge roar suddenly sounded from the temporary warehouse, and at the same time, several black smoke emerged from the warehouse.

Roosevelt even felt the land under his feet shaking violently. The secret service of the US President alertly protected Roosevelt behind him and stared at the warehouse not far away.

Tang Jian smiled, and Roosevelt signaled the secret service to get out of the way, and then stood side by side with Tang Jian.

At this time, two giants slowly drove out of the warehouse, and a faint cold light flashed on the armor made of steel, and the hideous muzzles were rotating flexibly.

Roosevelt said in a lost voice: "Is this the steel chariot of China?"

Tang Jian corrected: "Teddy, it has a name, we call him a tank!"

"Tank?" Roosevelt murmured and said, "Do you want to demonstrate the function of a tank to me?"

Tang Jian smiled and nodded, saying, "Please allow me to show you the true power of the tank!"

Roosevelt anxiously watched the seemingly clumsy tank with the help of the tracks, and flexibly turned 180 degrees. At a position of one thousand meters, the Chinese Navy soldiers had already set up their targets to attack.

Tang Jian gave an order: "Open fire!"

"Boom!" With two loud bangs, the cannons on the two tanks let out an angry roar, and then the two attack targets in the distance were shattered in an instant!

Roosevelt widened his eyes. This was simply the ultimate weapon in the army. The fortresses, fortresses, and trenches seemed so vulnerable in front of the tanks!

Tang Jian struck while the iron was hot, took two improved m14s, and asked, "Teddy, can you shoot?"

Roosevelt smiled and said, "I am a very good hunter!"

Tang Jian handed Roosevelt a m14 and said, "Pull it at the tank opposite, please shoot it with all your energy!"

Roosevelt took the m14 and looked at it. He found that such a strange-shaped rifle did not have a bolt that could be pulled. However, the clever Roosevelt quickly mastered the trick and knew that it was a rifle that could fire several rounds in a row.

Roosevelt pulled the trigger and was surprised to find that this strange-shaped rifle could fire twenty bullets at the same time instead of a few! The dense bullets hit the tank's thick armor, causing layers of Mars, but it did not cause any damage to the tank.

Roosevelt put down his gun and didn't speak for a long time. He was completely impressed by China's advanced technology!
