Chapter 380 America knows how to cheat! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"President, Mr. President, are you all right?"

"President, you have to hold on!"

"President, do you want to call the Vice President?"

Andrew Jackson would have been dizzy at first, but if Secretary of the Navy John Branch hadn't been prepared to help him up, he might have collapsed.But when the President of the United States heard the suggestion from his subordinates that he wanted to invite Vice President Calhoun to come over, he immediately stopped feeling dizzy. Don't be dizzy!Calhoun is not a law-abiding vice president. The previous Eaton scandal and the cabinet lie down were all initiated by this vice president.If Andrew Jackson handed over the power to Calhoun and went to recuperate by himself, then his job as president might be over.

"I'm fine! I'm fine." Andrew Jackson leaned on the table with one hand, barely stabilized his body, and then said calmly to his cabinet members: "Gentlemen, the war has just begun! A few armored ships have been lost. Cruisers are nothing to the United States, because our shipyards can quickly make up for the losses. The most important thing now is to stabilize people's hearts. We can't let the outside world know about the loss of the Navy. John, the Admiralty must declare victory to the outside world. Just say We sank six Mexican armored cruisers, lost three Pennsylvania-class ships, and repelled the rest of the Mexican fleet, protecting the safety of the East Coast!

In addition, it is announced that the invincible American Army will liberate all of Texas! "

"Yes, Mr. President."

After finishing the reassuring nonsense, Andrew Jackson suddenly remembered something, "Where are the battleships of the Atlantic Fleet? Where are they? They won't"

Now that the U.S. Navy's patrolling force has almost been defeated, battleships can't repeat the same mistakes again!
"Mr. President, please rest assured that Rear Admiral Perry's squadron is sailing along the east coast to Baltimore according to the order of the Naval Staff. The rest of the Atlantic Fleet's battle patrol squadron is also withdrawing to Baltimore. It is far from the Atlantic coastline. , can avoid the enemy's carrier-based aircraft." John Blanche said, "In order to ensure their safety, the Admiralty also sent a large number of airships to the sky to patrol the coastal areas of the east coast in order to detect the enemy's aircraft-based warships in advance. In this way our battleships can change course in time to stay away from the enemy's aircraft-carrying warships."

Fortunately, the range of the current carrier-based aircraft is not enough, and the combat radius is only [-] kilometers. As long as more airships are sent to scout, and the fleet of Dezhou Haizi can be found in advance, it can be far away.

Andrew Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then what will happen to these battleships and armored cruisers in the future? Hiding in Baltimore?"

"Of course I won't hide all the time," said John Blanche, "Mr. President, the shipyard in Baltimore can remodel the battleships and battlecruisers of the Atlantic Fleet, strengthen the air defense and deck armor, so that they can better resist Threats from the air."

"Can it be done with anti-aircraft guns and a thick deck?" Andrew Jackson was a little skeptical.

"Of course not," John Blanche said, "but our shipyard is already speeding up the construction of enterprise-class aircraft-carrying armored cruisers."

Andrew Jackson frowned and said, "It's wartime now, we can't dawdle anymore. Let the factory in Baltimore work overtime. The enterprise class must have a ship before the end of May next year! The U.S. Army still needs a few months To mobilize and prepare, we will launch a full-scale attack on Texas in the second quarter of next year, and we should be able to advance around Texas City in May. At that time, the navy must dispatch enough ships to cooperate with the army to capture Texas City! As long as it captures Texas City , we have won more than half of the war with Mexico!"

Andrew Jackson, the military president, is very clear about the military capabilities of the Mexican Empire!The basic base that this country can rely on is 200 million native whites, mobilized at a ratio of 20%, and only 20 troops will die.The 5 troops also get a little bit for the navy, and a little bit of housekeeping has to be left to prevent the Indians and mixed-race whites from rebelling.If there are [-] people who can be pulled to Texas, it will be the sky!
And most of these 5 people are the children of big landlords who are pampered and pampered, and they cannot fight too hard a war.The United States can pull out 30 to [-] bitter European immigrants and small farmers to form an army. The Mexicans are not opponents at all!

So the ones who can really support the Mexican Empire are actually the Texas samurai from Japan!As long as they are eliminated, Mexico will lose.

However, the Dezhou City and Dezhou Bay where the Texas warriors are entrenched not only have strong defense facilities, but also back to the sea, so it is very easy to get supplies and reinforcements.If the U.S. Navy cannot win the sea dominance of the Gulf of Mexico, it will not be easy to win the Battle of Texas City.

Thinking of this, Andrew Jackson said again: "The Pennsylvania class that has been withdrawn from Baltimore has all been changed to the Enterprise class. We need more aircraft-carrying armored cruisers!"

"Yes, Mr. President!" John Blanche nodded, "I will order the Department of the Navy to change all recoverable Pennsylvania-class planes into Enterprise-class planes! But we still need aircraft that can take off from Enterprise-class planes."

"Then ask the British!" Andrew Jackson looked at his Secretary of State, "George, you set off immediately, take the airship to England, and first report the real situation of the Atlantic naval battle to the Duke of Wellington in person, and then tell the British Ask for the technology to produce aircraft. You have to tell the Duke of Wellington clearly that if we don’t have an aircraft that can take off from an enterprise-class aircraft-carrying armored cruiser as soon as possible, then the cotton route from the United States to the United Kingdom will soon be interrupted!”

This Jackson is indeed the president of the United States, a rebellious British son, and he knows how to cheat British fathers best!
The cotton transportation line he mentioned is the lifeline of British industry and economy!
In the current industrial landscape of the British Empire, besides shipbuilding, the most eye-catching thing is cotton textiles.Most of the cotton textile markets in Europe, India and the United States were controlled by Britain.Cotton, the raw material needed by the British cotton textile industry, was mostly produced in the southern United States.

If the cotton transportation route is cut off by Dezhou Haizi's aircraft-carrying armored cruiser, then the British cotton textile industry will be miserable!

Because Egypt, which can replace the cotton produced by the United States, has now confronted Great Britain because Ali Pasha insisted on restoring the Arab Empire. Although there was no war, it still encountered economic sanctions and trade blockades.

And India, which can produce a large amount of cotton, may not be able to supply Britain at any time because of the blockade of Ming Dynasty!

In addition, due to France's current policy of neutrality, French textile mills can also obtain a stable supply of cotton from Egypt.Once a large number of British factories close down due to lack of cotton, French textile factories may take the opportunity to seize the market. Once this market is seized by the French, even if the UK gets cotton in the future, it may not be able to regain it.

Moreover, the transfer of the textile industry to France may also promote the transfer of European financial capital to France.

The combination of these two transfers is very likely to make France rise up again. If that is the case, it will kill Ying's father!

When the U.S. Secretary of State flew to London by airship, the Duke of Wellington was preparing to go to Vienna to attend the "peace conference". This so-called peace conference was crucial to Duke Wellington's efforts to piece together an anti-Ming alliance!
Now Austria and Prussia have clearly sided with Great Britain, and the French Bonapartists have secretly contacted representatives of the British government several times, and the two sides have also reached a series of consensus.

Although it is impossible for Rakshasa to side with Great Britain, they also made it clear that they will not stand with Daming—as long as Britain does not prevent Duke Alexander from marrying Princess Louise of France, then the friendship between Rakshasa and Daming is not aimed at any third party!

Just when the Duke of Wellington felt that the situation was fine, disturbing news came from the United States-Wall Street was blown up by the "Mexican" plane, killing more than 100 traders and banks family, including the Schiff family and the Wallenberg family!

In addition, the Secretary of State of the United States came to London in an airship against the harsh winter weather in the North Atlantic the day after the United States declared war on Mexico. Is this a trick?
