After finding that the food and steel were transported, he decisively ordered the seizure and confiscation of the materials on these ships.

Although Phelps was unwilling, he dared not say anything under the black hole muzzle and machine gun.Only obediently submit.

Citibank Palace.

Upon receiving the news, President Taft urgently called various departments to secretly convene a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"This group of monkeys is really getting more and more arrogant. They actually arrested our merchant ship and confiscated those supplies. They didn't declare war with Neon. Why stop our merchant ship."

"This is a provocation to the Mijian Empire. We must teach them a lesson. Otherwise, we don't know what they dare to do in the future."

Secretary of State Elihu Root had an angry look on his face, and he never paid attention to it, thinking they were just a nouveau riche.

The navy's seizure of Citi Merchant Ship made Citigroup feel very annoyed.They also realized that this time the situation seemed a bit critical, and those people seemed to be moving for real.

"Your Excellency! Now we are not at war with people. The current navy's strength is far behind those monkeys. Unless the navy's six battleships are launched, it is possible to have a battle.

Secretary of the Navy William Benson shook his head. Now Citigroup is only strong in economy, industry and technology, which does not represent military strength.

"That's not to make those people so arrogant. They should not dare to fight with us. After all, they have not yet destroyed the neon, and there are hairball people in their north. Although they are fighting against the people of the will, as long as If there is hope to regain the territory, it will definitely be shot."

Secretary of the Army Elihu Lut was also unwilling.

"The neon is about to be unable to sustain it anymore. Without the input of materials, they will only get weaker and weaker, and they will not even be able to arm their army. Once we lose this chess piece, the interests in the sea will definitely be invaded. At that time, we still have to choose to confront them head-on."

Secretary of State Elihu Root continued.

"Your Excellency Secretary of State, let Rokeyi protest to others, try to resolve this matter, at least get things back."

Taft thought for a while and said.

Now the war is impossible to be a human opponent, and such a nonsensical war, not to mention that the Congress will not agree to it, even if they force the war, they will immediately be instigated by the angry crowd to instigate those hospitals to knock them down.You must know that the Democratic Party is willing to make this mistake.

"Your Excellency, protests can't solve the problem. Since people dare to seize our merchant ships, they must be prepared and will ignore us!"

Secretary of State Elihu Root knows that people never compromise in diplomacy. When his goal is not suitable for toughness, he will only play football everywhere.Baiyue Novel Network www.yue100.com

Taft frowned, he remembered that he was rushing to Fabin's fleet, but now he didn't dare to take the risk.

"Your Excellency, let our fleet protect the merchant ships, as long as they are deterred, and to show people our attitude."

Secretary of the Army Elihu Lut did not wait for him to think clearly that he had made this proposal.

"No! Once the two sides are unwilling to give in, conflicts are very likely to break out. What if our warship is hit? Are we going to fight back or not?" Secretary of the Navy William Benson immediately raised an objection, and he opposed his men. Those warships did not have any confidence.

"Let the navy pass! But once the man's warship launches an attack, if it is of a warning nature, we must leave directly, and they will take care of the rest."

In the end Taft made a decision.It's just that he doesn't want to expand too much.

If when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where Rou Keyi came to find Tang Shaoyi, he didn't get any useful answer.

No matter how he quibbleed the street and explained, Tang Shaoyi's attitude was very tough, even the seized Citi Merchant ships and confiscated materials.Nor will it be released and returned.In the end, there was no way to be entangled, and he directly led Rou Keyi to the navy headquarters.

Facing Ding Ruchang with a smile on his face, Rou Keyi could not say a word, and finally chose to give up.

Daqing will never compromise on this point. As long as Neon is blocked, whether it is to attack or negotiate, the initiative will always be in his own hands.

A huge Hua flagship team is sailing at high speed in the sea, including two 16,000-ton South Carolina-class battleships, two 20,000-ton Delaware-class battleships, two 21,000-ton Florida-class battleships, and twenty The remaining cruisers and destroyers.

This lineup looks very powerful, but even against the previous Neon, it seems a little insufficient.Only by adding their local Huaiming class can it be possible to suppress neon.

"Damn it! Which idiot suggested us to protect those merchant ships. If we collide with people, we may all be wiped out!"

Admiral Robert Kunz's face was angry.

My family knows their own affairs, let alone them, even if they join forces with the neon navy, it is impossible to fight the Qing navy. After all, the other side now has ten 27,500-ton behemoths, and the military qualities of the two sides are not at the same level. Above.

"Your Excellency Commander, there is no other way. Since the domestic decision has been made, we should abide by it, and it's just an escort. People should not take action, and they should not be willing to go to war with the empire."

Although Charles Frederick Hughes, the chief of staff, was depressed, he still persuaded him.

"I hope so! I really want those idiot politicians to see the strength of the navy, so that they can be sober, how many warships we should build."

It is said that Robert Kunz's complexion is a little slow, but he is still worried...
