Chapter 1036 Escape from the East Coast

"The U.S. government will negotiate with Germany as soon as possible and ask Germany to stop attacking the U.S. mainland. Please believe that the U.S. government is capable of ensuring the safety of people's lives and property." President Woodrow Wilson told reporters on the lawn in front of the White House Talk to the people who came.

"Shit! The Germans bombarded our city, and the port of Boston was completely destroyed. I don't know how many Americans died under the bombardment of the Germans, but the government doesn't even have the guts to declare war. ?” An American reporter present asked angrily.

President Woodrow Wilson glanced at the reporter and walked into the White House without saying anything.

Such a passionate youth is not a bad thing for the United States. However, if you don't even know your own strength, blindly impulsively want to seek revenge from Germany, then you are courting death. After all, the Germans are not so easy to deal with. If the United States has the strength to defeat Germany, needless to say, they will choose to declare war on Germany.

President Woodrow Wilson's direct departure made the Americans even more angry.

Ordinary Americans believe that this is a manifestation of the government's incompetence, which is no longer able to defend their interests. Then, they can undoubtedly use the votes to bring down the government. However, those real elites know that there is nothing the government can do. Under such circumstances, if you still want to maintain a tough attitude, it will only make the United States pay greater losses. After all, the United States now has no capital to confront Germany at all. Blindly tough is simply a stupid behavior.

In this world, after all, the strong have the final say. Germany is stronger than the United States, so it can be beaten up according to Germany. In this regard, the United States has no other choice except to swallow its anger.

The bombing of Boston by the German Navy spread throughout the entire east coast of the United States at the fastest speed. For a while, people panicked. The American people can't help worrying whether their place will become the next target of the Germans.

Although, many cities are just small cities, without industry, and without naval bases, so they are not worth attacking at all. The German navy's attack on the mainland of the United States this time is after all to weaken the strength of the United States, not just to kill people. Therefore, those small cities or cities without a developed shipbuilding industry don't have to worry at all. You must know that the price of the main gun shells of the capital ship is not cheap. Even if Germany is rich now, it cannot be wasted casually.

However, those ordinary people did not want to understand all this at all. They only know that if they stay on the East Coast, their lives will be threatened. Therefore, fleeing from the east coast and fleeing to places far away from the coast has become the choice of many people.

Although, the U.S. government has repeatedly stepped forward to assure everyone that the government has the ability to ensure their safety, and Germany will not launch an attack on the city where they are located. However, there are still a lot of people who do not trust the government. In addition, the rumors have intensified, making those Americans even more worried.

The east coast is the most developed place in the United States, but in a developed place, if even the common people escape, how can they develop? Once people flee the east coast of the United States, the American economy will be hit hard. Therefore, the U.S. government tried its best to appease the people and let them stay on the east coast.

The next day, the German navy attacked New York. Although, the German Navy still did not bombard New York City, it just destroyed New York's ports and shipyards. But it also worries Americans a lot. Even New York was destroyed, which undoubtedly proved that the communication between the government and the Germans was not smooth! Under such circumstances, everyone will naturally scramble to escape the eastern coast.

Originally, many Americans believed that they only needed to escape to a place more than 20 kilometers away from the coast to be safe. Although, this distance is still within the range of the main guns of the battleships of the German Navy. However, at this distance, the accuracy of shelling will be greatly reduced. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the Germans wasting shells.

However, on the third day their view had to change. Because, the Germans attacked Baltimore on this day. Baltimore is far from the coast. In other words, although Baltimore is in the bay, it has a superior geographical location. If the German navy did not want to suffer heavy losses, it would not dare to go deep into the bay. So, few thought Baltimore would be attacked.

On this day, the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to bombard Baltimore's ports and shipyards. Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft blew up Baltimore's port and shipyard to ruins in less than half a day.

Such an attack opened the eyes of the Americans, and was deeply shocked. They suddenly realized that even Baltimore, which was far away from the coast, had been attacked by the Germans, so they fled to a place 20 kilometers away from the coast. The place also seems to have no security guarantees! If you want to be truly safe, you have to continue to escape.

Looking at the attack radius of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft, they have to escape from the coast for at least 200 kilometers.

As a result, a large number of Americans began to flee the East Coast of the United States with their families. Those who have money can drive cars, but those who have no money can only walk. As for those public transportation, forget it. In order to prevent people from fleeing the East Coast, the US government has suspended those public transportation.

The main population of the United States lives on the east coast of the United States, which is the most developed and the most prosperous place in the United States. However, if the American people are allowed to flee here, it will soon become a dead city. At that time, the US economy will be hit hard.

Although, officials of the Woodrow Wilson government tried their best to tell the people that the place where they live will not be attacked. However, no one believes their nonsense anymore. Three cities have been attacked by the Germans one after another, and the government's guarantee undoubtedly has no credibility at all.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, keeping their own lives is undoubtedly the most important thing. As for the others, they can be put aside for the time being.

A large number of Americans fleeing the East Coast will not only severely damage the US economy, but also cause a lot of social problems. These people need a lot of money to survive. Without money, life cannot go on, and naturally all kinds of problems will arise.
