Hearing the US President's statement, everyone in the Oval Conference Room of the White House breathed a sigh of relief.
Although everyone knows who was behind the bombing of Manhattan, and also knows that Mexico is probably completely innocent in this operation, the United States can only attack Mexico.
Because the current United States cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty, nor can it defeat Japan - the Ming Empire does not allow the U.S. Navy to cross the Pacific, so how can it defeat the Japanese? Hit with mouth?
Therefore, the only countries that the United States can fight are Mexico and that Texas city that does not have national status.
Texas City is also legally part of the Mexican Empire.
Therefore, the Texas Maritime Self-Defense Force is theoretically an armed force of the Mexican Empire... By the way, this Mexico is really unlucky! Not only is it too far away from God and too close to the United States, but it has also been used as a chessboard by the Ming Empire to play chess!
Seeing the relaxed expressions of the cabinet ministers below, Andrew Jackson said in a stern tone: "Gentlemen, although we can only declare war on the Mexican Empire at present... But I hope you will not forget that our real enemy is always Ming Empire!
Once the Mexican Empire is on the verge of failure under our attack, the Ming Empire will definitely step up its intervention and even directly declare war on us.
Therefore, a full-scale war between the United States and the Ming Empire... is inevitable. And it may explode at any time!
We must prepare for the worst! "
The President of the United States turned to look at his Secretary of State, George Van Buren, and said, "George, take the fastest airship to London.
You go tell the British that the United States needs their support...especially aircraft, the latest aircraft! "
"Yes, Mr. President." George Van Buren replied.
The US president added: "George, you also need to let the British know... The east coast of America is the battlefield farthest from China and the closest to Europe. It is also the home of Western civilization!
If we cannot defeat the Ming Empire in Mexico, then war in India and Australia will be hopeless. "
"Yes, President." George Van Buren said, "I believe the British will join the war soon!"
Andrew Jackson nodded, and then said to his Secretary of the Navy, John Branch: "The fleet that attacked New York must still be in the waters near New York... The Navy must go all out to destroy them at all costs!"
John Branch asked: "But, Mr. President, the main force of the Navy's Atlantic Fleet is near the Yucatan Strait. If they are transferred away now..."
The President of the United States said calmly: "John, let me say it again, the most important thing now is to annihilate the Texas Sea Fleet that just bombed Manhattan!"
"Yes, Mr. President," John Branch nodded, "I will send a telegram to General Perry right away!"
"Very good, this is good!"
The President of the United States looked at Secretary of War Yinton again and said: "The War Department must formulate a plan as soon as possible to comprehensively and completely defeat the Mexican Empire!"
"President, you said you want to completely defeat the Mexican Empire?" Yin Dun was stunned.
Andrew Jackson nodded and said: "Yes, we must completely defeat the Mexican Empire!
It's not enough to capture Texas, we must give the Mexican Empire the heaviest blow!
Because only then can we prevent the Nicaragua Canal from being built. "
Andrew Jackson pondered for a moment and then said: "In order to ensure the absolute security of the United States of America, we must block the Ming Empire on the other side of the Pacific Ocean...at least we cannot allow them to have a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Otherwise, when the main force of their Pacific Fleet enters the Caribbean... the United States will face a complete defeat! "
In fact, the United States has been trying every means to obstruct the construction of the canal. The construction of the canal has also been slowed down due to obstruction by the United States... But now, President Jackson has seen the determination of the Ming Empire!
I believe that the Mexican Emperor Agustin I has also seen the opportunity...the opportunity to defeat the United States and keep Texas!
Then, Andrew Jackson said in a tone full of expectation: "If the Navy cannot defeat the Texas Sea Fleet, then the only one left who can fulfill this task is the U.S. Army!
I hope that after Congress passes the resolution to declare war... the U.S. Army can complete mobilization within three months and organize at least 200,000 people to enter the land of the Mexican Empire! "
Yin Dun nodded heavily and said: "I understand, Mr. President, the U.S. Army will definitely satisfy you!"
"Very good, I look forward to the good news of the army's victory!"
…
"Good news! Good news... President Jackson will give a speech in Congress asking Congress to agree to declare war on the Mexican Empire!
The planes that bombed New York were purchased from the Ming Dynasty by the Mexican Empire! "
As the so-called good news came, the dull and oppressive atmosphere in the underground trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street was suddenly swept away.
Due to some well-known technical reasons, although trading on the New York Stock Exchange was not suspended, the trading volume was actually a bit pitiful.
Throughout the morning, stocks, bonds and the U.S. dollar exchange rate listed on the New York Stock Exchange fell immeasurably.
Although the insider trading that harmed investors had already been arranged. But nowadays, the big bosses on Wall Street still want to lose face... they can't make things that harm investors too obvious.
So they arranged for an immeasurable decline, and then the U.S. government stepped in to stimulate a big rebound in the market. They then pretended to chase the rise... and used investors' money to take over the market in their own hands.
The arrangement of this drama is quite good, but it is not without the possibility of messing up. What if the President of the United States doesn't follow the script?
If he declares war on the Ming Empire...how can the big guy's drama be performed?
Can you explain to investors that you believe that the United States can defeat Ming Dynasty, so you take their money to decisively follow up and rebound?
Who can believe this lie? They are really going to do it and say so. What kind of dignity will you have in the financial world in the future?
So throughout the morning, these Wall Street bankers and brokers had no intention of paying attention to the market. They were all waiting for news about the White House!
Now, the news they were waiting for has finally arrived. So what are you waiting for? Let’s start the show quickly... Wall Street has become Hollywood!
"Buy! 1,000 lots of 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds..."
The first person to jump out to "act" was Paul Schiff. He had already discussed it with his brother-in-law, a banker from the Wallenberg family. Take investors' money and take over each other's business.
"Buy! 1,000 lots of Atlantic Railroad stock..."
"Buy 2,000 lots of Second Bank of the United States stock..."
As soon as Paul Schiff started, the number of buying orders in the bunker trading room of the New York Stock Exchange immediately increased, and the atmosphere became lively.
Traders and bankers who were smarter than monkeys suddenly turned into super stupid people. Everyone believes that it is really the Mexicans who took advantage of the heart and guts of a leopard to bomb the financial center of the United States!
With the influx of buying, U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar, which had fallen immeasurably all morning, all began to rebound. The trading volume also increased immediately, and the yellow vests in the exchange who were responsible for taking orders and keeping accounts were even more busy.
Seeing a doomsday rebound, it is necessary for all the big players in the industry to get out of their traps smoothly. The roof of the New York Stock Exchange bunker suddenly shook violently, and a lot of dust fell.
Then there was a loud noise like an earthquake, and the dim lights flickered.
The traders and bankers inside the land insurance company were a little dumbfounded... What is this situation? Why was there an earthquake?
"Boom boom..."
Before everyone could react, there was a violent tremor inside the bunker. Everyone lost their balance and fell to the ground, screaming in surprise.
Then, there was a thunderous roar, and the dim lights that were flashing suddenly disappeared at this moment.
The entire New York Stock Exchange bunker suddenly fell into darkness!
At this time, I don’t know who it was, but it had already reacted and exclaimed loudly: "God! The Japanese are here to drop bombs again... The New York Stock Exchange seems to have been bombed!"
"Boom boom..."
Before the man finished speaking, everyone in the bunker felt another shaking, and heard a roar like the earth was shaking...
Then someone else screamed.
"Oh God! They're bombing again!"
"Oh my God, the New York Stock Exchange building is bombing... we're going to be buried alive!"
