Terrible Situation

"You all should know better than I do that the United States is a federal country that emerged by chance! If we divide and rule while the federal system is still unstable, the United States Federal Government will completely collapse! The United States will only have one outcome: complete disintegration! Just like Europe!"

Mr. Roosevelt was so enraged he almost stood up to curse these damned insects.

These people only cared about their immediate interests, completely disregarding national borders!

Whether the United States collapsed or not had no impact on them; at worst, they would sell their assets and move elsewhere to start over, merely wasting a little time, which wouldn't affect their prosperity.

Therefore, these people only thought about how to make more money before the United States collapsed, not how to prevent the United States Government from collapsing!

"So what? Are we supposed to fight him, Dutch Van der Linde, and end up with both sides suffering, only to be harvested by Europe?

Sh*t!, have you seen the scale of the war in Europe? Any one of their countries coming after us now would completely overwhelm us! Then, we would not only completely fail on the front lines but also be completely harvested financially by them! Is that the outcome you want?"

The capital representative sitting below sneered.

They just wanted to do business; they just wanted to make money!

The current scale of the war in Europe had completely exceeded their expectations and exposed their biggest flaw.

That is, if the gun barrel isn't in their own hands, no matter how much money they make, they can't hold onto it!

So now they only wanted to firmly grasp this base in American East, slowly develop, and then bring the United States completely under their control, so that these capitalists could control the gun barrel of this country!

"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! You are all people without a country or home; you are dragging the United States into hell!"

Mr. Theodore Roosevelt shouted furiously.

He showed no signs of leaning left yet; historically, he only began to lean left after his re-election.

The meeting ended on a bad note. The state representatives, backed by large capital, completely disregarded Mr. Theodore Roosevelt.

They even believed that Theodore Roosevelt was merely a scapegoat currently in power, and capital would eventually control the United States. The political faction had been completely wiped out by Dutch Van der Linde, with no leading figures, so they no longer took Mr. President seriously.

President Theodore sat in his seat with a gloomy expression, watching the capital representatives smiling and bidding farewell to each other, his heart filled with frustration.

"Capital ruins the country! Capital ruins the country!!!"

August 7, 1901.

The United States New Eastern Government's stance on the western issue suddenly became ambiguous.

The conscripted good young men were not directly sent to the western battlefield but were sent along with the working-class soldiers to coastal cities to fight the British-French Allied Forces.

The good news was that the eastern front had finally begun fighting.

The working-class soldiers and the good young men had no disagreements in resisting the Europe Allied Forces.

Because in the eyes of the Europeans, both were inferiors, both were bumpkins, with no difference. The long-standing discrimination led to intense resistance.

This also made the United States Army's fighting will on the battlefield extremely high.

However, due to the inaction of the United States Federal Government, the United States lost the initiative, allowing the Europe Allied Forces to land. Unable to conduct a landing operation, both sides were forced to engage in urban warfare in Delaware.

August 7, 1901. The United States, British, and French nations erupted in a massive war in Delaware, historically known as the 'Delaware Defence War.' This battle involved a total of 830,000 British-French Allied Forces, along with various colonial troops and several smaller European countries, against 580,000 combined forces of the United States state militias and the Federal Government Army, with reinforcements continuously pouring in.

This battle was a full-front simultaneous operation. The Europe Allied Forces divided into twenty-three battle points from Delaware and New Jersey to conduct an all-out offensive in the large port cities of Delaware.

And the over 500,000 United States Army troops were forced to engage in large-scale, extensive, devastating, and inhumane brutal urban warfare with the Europe Allied Forces in the cities of Delaware.

The entire United States coastal cities were dragged into this massive war. The British-French Allied Forces, totaling 700,000 troops, fought against the 500,000 troops jointly formed by the American East states and the Federal Government.

The war between the two sides was fought inch by inch, with rivers of blood.

The smoke of war permeated the coastal cities of the East, and a century of urban construction was destroyed by artillery fire.

On every street in Delaware, soldiers died tragically under gunfire every moment, and every road was repeatedly contested by both sides.

The Europe Allied Forces, previously at leisure on the quiet Eastern Front, were fiercely resisted, forcing them to use every ounce of their strength to counter the United States Army.

But similarly, the United States Army also fought with extreme difficulty.

At the same time, the quality of United States soldiers was far inferior to that of well-trained European soldiers, and their weaponry was also incomparable to these old powers. Moreover, their army commanders lacked corresponding command capabilities in large-scale operations, which led to heavy casualties for the United States Army in this urban warfare, almost using lives to resist the advance of the Europe Allied Forces.

But at the same time, urban warfare, the most brutal form of combat, infinitely leveled the playing field between the two sides. Even with superior equipment and firepower, the Europe Allied Forces suffered greatly in this urban warfare.

The Delaware Defence War lasted for a full two months, and the fighting between the two sides never stopped for a moment, completely reducing Delaware to ruins. Until October 13, 1901, the Delaware Defence War finally came to an end.

Both sides suffered huge losses in this war. The Europe Allied Forces sustained a terrifying 370,000 casualties, while the United States suffered even more. With multiple reinforcements, the United States deployed a total of 1.03 million troops, with a terrifying 680,000 casualties. More than half of both sides' forces were killed or wounded!

This battle completely crushed the possibility of the Europe Allied Forces' advance. The subsequent problems with casualties and logistics completely deprived this already landed force of its forward momentum, and it also showed them the strength and indomitable spirit of the United States, this rising empire.

But similarly, the United States New Eastern Government also almost exhausted its resources, and most importantly, the flaws of a capital-controlled government finally became apparent.

The capital-controlled Congress ultimately held back the American people.
