When the news of China and the United States officially declared war, European and American countries expressed neutrality. At this time, the smell of gunpowder on the European continent was filled with smoke. The two military alliances, the Allies and the Allies, were actively launching arms races. The two major military alliances competed against each other on the European continent and the North Atlantic, and a war could break out at any time.

China and the United States are two military powers in the Far East of Asia and North America respectively. Before that, both military powers had expressed neutrality and would not interfere in European affairs. The two major military alliances among the European countries knew that no matter which country joined any of the military alliances, it would be a great help for that alliance and a huge threat to the enemy.

Therefore, even if the two major military alliances always want to pull these two military powers into their camps, however, China and the United States are not soft and hard, and insist on neutrality. At this time, the two countries are at war. No matter which of Europe intervenes in the dispute between China and the United States, it is very likely that one of them will be pushed into the other's camp. This is something that the countries in the two military alliances do not want to see.

Therefore, when declaring war on China and the United States, the countries in the two major military alliances expressed neutrality tacitly at almost the same time, in order to prevent any of the annoyed China and the United States from increasing the strength of the hostile camp.

This result is exactly what Tang Jian is willing to see. Tang Jian doesn't want to stab the European countries in the back when he is concentrating on dealing with the United States. The United States also knows this, so Wilson did not place any hope to ask European and American countries to mediate, but actively prepare for the war in the United States and prepare to defeat China.

After occupying Luzon, in order to prevent the United States from counterattacking and to take advantage of the other great powers to take advantage of the situation, Tang Jian, the South China Sea Fleet of Sa Zhenbing stayed at the Port of Manila and rebuilt fortifications at the Port of Manila. The artillery on various major shore artillery was renovated, using large-caliber steel cannons independently produced by China. A airport has been built five kilometers away from the port east of Manila.

Tang Jian ordered Sa Zhenbing to build the Port of Manila into one of the most solid fortresses in China above the South China Sea, and use the power of the navy, army and air force to defend. After paying so much, Luzon must not fall into the hands of other countries.

Once China has gained a foothold in Luzon, China can not only rely on Luzon to attack Borneo and restore Lan Fang's country, but also extends China's sphere of influence to the South China Sea. The South China Sea has a vast territory and rich resources. It is a huge treasure pot. It has controlled Luzon and Borneo, and basically controlled the South China Sea islands.

At that time, France and Britain in Annan would be afraid of China. Although the Strait of Malacca still controlled the British at this time, ships from European countries would directly enter the South China Sea after passing the Strait of Malacca. Even if China did not control the Strait of Malacca, controlling Luzon and Borneo was basically the gateway to the Far East. European countries, whether they were merchant ships or fleets, would enter the South China Sea as soon as they crossed the Strait of Malacca, they would enter the strength range of China.

The importance of the geographical location of Luzon and Borneo is self-evident!

The overall situation in Luzon was settled, and Tang Jian flew back to Wuhan, actively dispatched troops in Wuhan, mobilizing all the elite naval and army forces of China, besides defending the local area, to the Pacific Ocean, and prepare to officially engage in the first military confrontation with the United States in Hawaii.

Wuhan General Staff.

Yan Fu said anxiously: "President, do you have to go to the front line in person again? You are the president of a country, just be in charge of the rear command. It is too dangerous to go to the front line in person!"

Tang Jian nodded and said earnestly: "The battle between China and the United States is related to the rise, fall, honor and disgrace of China. If this battle is won, China will become the second example of the yellow race defeating whites after Japan. China will officially become the largest Asian country in Asia that is comparable to European countries. In diplomatic activities, it can be on par with the European countries that have always been self-respected. If it fails, China will be greatly damaged and may even be in a slump. With the great powers surrounding it, China will be difficult to recover within decades, and will eventually become a vassal state of China, a powerful country like Japan now."

Yan Fu was speechless for a while, and Tang Jian's words were not without reason. This war with the United States is the biggest challenge the Chinese nation has encountered since the Opium War. Its takeoff or fall is here.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, I think you should understand how powerful the United States is. Its total economic output ranks first in the world, several times that of China. If the United States just fights a protracted war with us, it can drag down China. This time I went to the front line to fight in person, just to be able to observe the situation in person and defeat the United States in the shortest time! I think you should be very clear about the powerful relationship. Even if you really die on the battlefield, if this can be exchanged for China's victory, then I will die without regrets!"

"President!" Yan Fu's eyes felt wet. Since the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Tang Jian has been striving for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It can be said that without Tang Jian, there would be no China now!

Tang Jian patted Yan Fu on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Mr. Yan, China is all up to you during this period of time when I am not here. If, I am if, this time I really go without going back, then you are the president of China!"

Seeing Yan Fu's excitement, Tang Jian laughed: "Don't worry, I, Tang Jian, have been through several bloody battles since the Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese shells can't kill me, and the Russian cavalry can't kill me, let alone those Americans. You must know that in today's world, the people who can kill me, Tang Jian, have not been born yet!"

Yan Fu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily: "President, don't worry, fight on the front line, and leave everything in the rear to me!"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "That's right! I'll leave first!"

Yan Fu's eyes were red, and he watched Tang Jian gradually disappear at the door and bowed deeply to Tang Jian's door.

Tang Jian left the General Staff gate, and Wang Jianchuan had already been waiting at the door. This time, the lone wolf, which had 500 people after the expansion, would accompany Tang Jian to Hawaii.

Tang Jian nodded when he heard this, and got into the car parked at the door. Under the escort of a group of lonely wolves, Tang Jian's car slowly drove towards the dock in Hankou. On the dock in Hankou, military supplies, including ammunition, medical first aid kits, military uniforms, grain and other items were piled up everywhere.

Thousands of coolies were yelling at the stake and transporting these supplies to the numerous supply ships moored on the shore. Many tower cranes were slowly transporting shells weighing hundreds of kilograms, and the entire dock was in a busy scene. This time, Tang Jian would go with this supply fleet to Hawaii. Together with Tang Jian, there were five hundred lone wolf special forces, twenty sharp knife tanks, and more than 10,000 elite Chinese Army troops. There were more than 100 ships included in the fleet.

The escort operation was carried out by a huge escort fleet consisting of a dreadnought, a high-speed dreadnought, eleven cruisers, and more than thirty other ships of all sizes.

Until dusk, all the supplies and personnel boarded the ship. With a long whistle, the sailors on each ship worked hard to retract the cables, put away the steel anchor on the bow, and slowly floated the seaside of the sunset. Under the reflection of the setting sun, a huge fleet was heading down the river and heading towards the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Tang Jian stood on the flagship, looking at the dock gradually distant, and his heart was extremely complicated. A war that determined the future fate of China was tightly held in his hands. If he wins, he will soar to the sky, and if he loses, he will be crushed to pieces!

Port of San Francisco, USA.

At this time, U.S. Navy and Army soldiers in neat military uniforms could be seen everywhere in San Francisco, an important city on the west coast of the United States. After the official declaration of war in the United States, US Secretary of Defense Roosevelt decided to use San Francisco as the wartime command center for the confrontation with China.

Since Roosevelt officially served as US Secretary of Defense, the capitalist power of the United States has begun to operate actively, and a steady stream of materials have been mobilized from states across the country to San Francisco, and hundreds of thousands of troops have also begun to gather in San Francisco from states.

Just yesterday, Roosevelt received a telegram from President Wilson that the US North Atlantic Fleet had already flown from Hampton Naval Base in Virginia yesterday. In the near future, it will pass through Brazil and Argentina, then cross the Magellan Strait north, pass through Chile, Peru, Mexico, and finally arrive at the west coast city of San Francisco. Once the North Atlantic Fleet arrives in San Francisco, it can enter the Pacific and China Pacific Fleets to fight for a few days!

Accompanied by a group of US Navy and Army officers, Roosevelt came to the dock in San Francisco. After seeing the gathering army and sufficient strategic supplies, he nodded with satisfaction.

Roosevelt turned around and said to a major general of the army beside him: "Major General Marshall, as far as I know, every major battle, Chinese President Tang Jian will personally go to the front line to command the battle. This time, the war between China and the United States, Tang Jian will definitely not stay in Wuhan, the capital of China, and will definitely go to Hawaii in person. This is a perfect opportunity for us. In the ancient Chinese saying, "Fight a snake and hit seven inches, and capture the king first, capture the thief first. As long as we get rid of Tang Jian first, then China's morale will inevitably shake, and the chances of winning the next war will be a little more. Are you ready for what you have prepared?"

Major General Marshall stood at attention, saluted and said, "Report to the Minister, everything is ready. As long as Tang Jianyi arrives on Hawaii, he will be guaranteed to go without returning!"

Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction: "I hope it is as you said!"

Roosevelt looked at the waves of sea in the distance and sighed in his heart: "Tang Jian, although I really want to fight with you personally, for the sake of the interests of the United States! This may become a permanent regret in my heart."
