After Qin Zhiyuan's telegram was sent, Lan Fang's huge machine immediately started moving.
Prime Minister Lu Zhengxiang, who was far away in Coconut City, urgently summoned the U.S. Ambassador to Lanfang, Glinton Augustine. He reiterated the attitude and determination of the Lanfang government to Glinton Augustine, and asked Glinton Augustine to convey to the U.S. government that if the United States dared to harm the Pearl of the Sea, , the Lanfang government will never give up.
For this reason, it is not necessary to say that he was unforeseen. Glinton Augustine's time in Lanfang was not only a day or two, so he should be able to understand Lu Zhengxiang's determination.
At the same time, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet and task force that were conducting exercises in the Marshall Islands urgently suspended their exercises and began to approach Hawaii, the largest U.S. naval base in the Pacific.
The Vladivostok fleet, which was rushing to the Marshall Islands, also quietly turned and approached the U.S. Navy's naval base in Guam.
Lanfang local area immediately carried out first-level mobilization. The Lanfang First Group Army stationed in Jinzhou immediately entered a war-ready state and canceled all vacations immediately. All officers and soldiers outside immediately reported to the nearest military station and returned to the military camp immediately. , ready to go out at any time.
The 7th, 8th and 11th Divisions of the Army stationed in Wanghai Prefecture also began to mobilize. The 7th Division moved the fastest. After Qin Zhiyuan issued a war threat, he immediately boarded a ship and headed for Zhenghe Island. Once the war started, this would be Lanmei. Where the war broke out, the northernmost tip of Zhenghe Island was only fifty kilometers away from the Philippines.
The Marine Corps also moved very quickly. The direction of the Philippines was originally the focus of the Marine Corps. Half an hour after Qin Zhiyuan issued the war threat, the reconnaissance planes had been dispatched, the reconnaissance team had gone to sea, and the troops had been assembled. , ready for boarding and delivery at any time.
That is to say, Lanfang's first airborne force was the Fourth Brigade of the Marine Corps, with a total of 11,000 officers and soldiers.
Taking into account the relationship between Britain and the United States, Lanfang's preparations for war also affected the British. Lanfang's native Lanling Island and Penglai Island are already world-famous scenic spots. Although Americans have not been deported for the time being, they are restricted to stay in hotels and are not allowed to come in and out at will. The Golden State and Siam areas near British Malaya have begun to be on alert. These two directions have begun to expel all foreigners. Even the French.
That's right, including the French. Once wartime enters, there will only be Lanfang people in Lanfang, and even the foreign legions will all be transferred out of Lanfang.
Glinton Augustine and the U.S. government never expected that Lan Fang's reaction would be so violent. Glinton Augustine assured Lu Zhengxiang that the U.S. military would abide by its principles and would not fire on civilians, and on the other hand, he immediately informed the U.S. government of Lan Fang's violent reaction. .
The U.S. government's reaction to Lanfang was also very unexpected. One fact that is certain is that the U.S. government does not want Nikola Tesla to fall into the hands of the Lanfang people, but at the same time, the U.S. government definitely does not want it to happen because of a Nikola Tesla. Silla started a war with Lanfang.
There is almost no need for staff analysis. Everyone knows that once the U.S. government goes to war with Lan Fang, even if the U.S. government will not be at a disadvantage in the long run, the U.S. military will definitely not be able to take advantage in the short term. It will last for two months at most. The United States will lose all their strongholds in Asia and the Pacific, even Hawaii, and Alaska will also be under a huge threat from Lan Fang's northern frontier.
It is only now that the Americans are shocked to discover that Lanfang, a country that has only been established for less than five years, has become so powerful without knowing it, and has even become so powerful that it has caused great confusion for the United States in Asia and the Pacific.
.
Americans are indeed very entangled. Through the world war, the United States not only paid off its foreign debts, but also became the world's creditor. If before the world war, the United States only had the tendency to become the world's leader in the economic level, then after the world war, the United States
Not only economically, but also politically and militarily, it has become the world's leader, at least on par with the British. This once made Americans extremely proud.
Now Americans have discovered that in Asia, in the Pacific Ocean, which Americans have always regarded as their backyard swimming pool, it turns out that Lanfang has unknowingly grown to this extent.
The United States and Lan Fang have extensive common interests in breaking the colonial system dominated by Britain and France, but this does not mean that the United States will tolerate Lan Fang's strength. The United States wants to break the colonial system dominated by Britain and France and then do it on its own.
When you become the world's boss, you don't want to create a competitor for yourself.
So if before Qin Zhiyuan issued the war threat to the United States, the United States and Lan Fang still had a certain cooperative relationship, then after Qin Zhiyuan issued the war threat to the United States, the relationship between the United States and Lan Fang will take a turn for the worse, and the cooperative relationship will directly deteriorate.
to contain the relationship.
Containment is the choice for the future. Under the current situation, the Americans are not ready for a war against Lanfang, so the White House can only choose to give in.
Fortunately, the destroyer that intercepted the Pearl of the Sea had a radio, so the White House's telegram could be sent directly to the destroyer captain.
Like the White House, Captain Wayne Jamie, the destroyer responsible for intercepting the Pearl of the Sea, is also very troubled now.
Before receiving the telegram from the White House, Wayne Jamie had already received a telegram from the Pentagon. Contrary to the content of the telegram from the White House, the Pentagon's telegram requested Wayne Jamie to directly sink the Sea Pearl.
sink
This means that the Pentagon's choice is completely different from the White House's choice, and it also means that if the Pearl of the Sea is sunk, Wayne Jamie will become the scapegoat.
In the 21st century, there was once a very famous joke that everyone knew. The content of the joke was which country's soldiers were the bravest. When the American soldiers came on the scene, the American general ordered the soldier to walk the mast. This is a joke.
A traditional project to prove the navy's bravery. The American soldier's answer was indeed very brave. He said: Fuck you, do you want me to die?
Okay, that's about it
The original intention of this joke is to prove that American soldiers have the courage to challenge authority, but it also proves from another aspect that American soldiers do not seem to obey orders that much.
disobey orders
This is no joke. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. This is a basic principle that all soldiers should understand and implement.
However, for Americans, this sentence is obviously very flexible. Americans are very willing to accept military orders abroad.
In fact, at this time, Wayne Jamie already knew that a warship of Lanfang was approaching at full speed twenty nautical miles away, and more Lanfang warships were approaching. If the Pearl of the Sea was sunk, it would not be disobedience.
The issue of not disobeying orders is the issue of whether we can take all 146 officers and soldiers on the ship home.
This man, once he thinks too much, will be afraid of wolves and tigers. After thinking about it, Wayne Jamie waited until the Wei Qing came over, but did not give the order to launch the torpedoes.
In fact, it is easy to sink the Sea Pearl, but the whole sinking process always takes half an hour. This half hour is enough for the Wei Qing to come over.
At this point, there is no point in regretting it. Wayne Jamie did not delay. When he saw the Wei Qing appear, he immediately retreated without any entanglement.
To be honest, the moment I saw the Wei Qing, the cheers on the Sea Pearl were really deafening.
As the two ships approached, the Wei Qing immediately lowered its lifeboat and picked up Nikola Tesla and his party.
Nikola Tesla didn't know that Qin Zhiyuan was beside the gangway. When Qin Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to pull Nikola Tesla onto the Weiqing, Nikola Tesla habitually thanked him and then let go.
He opened Qin Zhiyuan's hand.
Qin Zhiyuan did not let go, and even gave him subconscious support. After seeing Nikola Tesla stand firm, Qin Zhiyuan smiled: Mr. Nikola, welcome to Lanfang.
No matter how slow his reaction was, Nikola Tesla felt something different about the young man in front of him who was wearing a Lanfang military uniform without a military rank.
Are you Nikola Tesla not sure.
I am Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan still smiles, and his smile is as warm as a spring breeze.
Your Majesty Qin Er, I'm glad to see you. Nikola Tesla didn't show how happy he was, there was only surprise written on his face.
I am afraid that Nikola Tesla could never have imagined that Qin Zhiyuan would appear here and greet him in this way.
Until he entered the conference room and sat down, Nikola Tesla still felt dizzy.
I'm really sorry, the conditions are a bit shabby, so I'm being neglected. Qin Zhiyuan's expression is not that embarrassing. Qin Zhiyuan is the King of Lanfang. As long as Qin Zhiyuan is around, even a humble room will have a sense of simplicity.
I never expected that I would meet you here under such circumstances. Nikola Tesla has not yet woken up. This is definitely not because the warship is bumpy.
I really didn’t expect that meeting you would be so full of twists and turns. It was just an academic exchange, so it wasn’t worth making a fuss about, right? After meeting Nikola Tesla, Qin Zhiyuan was so open-minded that he actually had the heart to joke.
Hahaha, you are right, it is an academic exchange. I don’t know what aspect of the issue you want to exchange, Your Majesty. Nikola Tesla almost laughed out of tears. This was not because of Qin Zhiyuan’s humor, but because of his feelings.
hair.
Whatever you are interested in is fine. Qin Zhiyuan gave Nikola Tesla full choice.
Well, Zheng Jing's conditions for Nikola Tesla were not nonsense. Qin Zhiyuan really gave Nikola Tesla almost unlimited trust.
