Four fleets were severely damaged, hundreds of thousands of troops were surrounded and annihilated, such a huge loss. At the end of August, when Davis returned to the United States, he finally could not hide it. The news that was circulating from somewhere quickly spread to the United States. From the shipyard in Boston to the farm on the Mississippi River, from New Orleans in the south to the Great Lakes in the north, the entire United States was in anger. They fled and sent their sons and husbands to the army, but the exchanges did fail again and again. This made the people very angry. They asked the government to give an explanation, and even asked President Adams to step down, demanding that Davis, a military court that had lost hundreds of thousands of troops.

The government is overwhelmed by the storm and is exhausted to deal with it. The American people have been actively responding to the government's call for the future of the country in recent years and contribute money and efforts. But what they have obtained is failures again and again. Whether in Europe or South America, the US team has never achieved decent victory at all. This makes the people feel that their efforts are unrewarded. Long-term depression will be out of control once it breaks out.

Many cities have experienced a march asking Adams to step down and demand the trial of Davis. The country is a mess. In particular, many factories used to produce materials that are urgently needed in the war. Because workers have participated in the march, the production tasks cannot be completed. The preparation process has been affected. [bsp;   On the evening of August 29, Adams had to hold an emergency cabinet meeting. Those attending the meeting were President Adams, Secretary of State Brian, Chief of Staff Zominsk, Henry, Head of the Army, Davis, Head of the Admiralty, Department of Labor, Department of Industry, Department of Agriculture and Department of Foreign Affairs.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very depressing. Originally, the United States was already holding its breath and was going to fight to the death with France. Unexpectedly, such a sudden emergence of this country made them feel that the future of the country seemed to have a shadow.

"Everyone, how can we calm the anger of the people? The country cannot continue to be luàn, otherwise, before the French come to attack us, we will collapse first!" Adams said, who has been dealing with this matter in recent days, but has not achieved much results, so he seems particularly tired.

"His Excellency President, the army has performed very well and has not been affected. All the officers and soldiers of the army are in intense training and preparation for war, so you can rest assured." Zominsk said first. It was like he was performing his merits. In any case, Adams' term of office should be the last. In the next term, he should have a chance. As long as he does his job well, he believes that the people can see it. Of course, if the war can win, his reputation will be greater.

"This is very good. The army must remain stable!" Adams nodded and expressed his affirmation of Zominsk's work.

"Your Excellency the President, Canada has also been touched by the news that has been sent back from Canada. However, their influence is relatively small. In addition, the Canadian political fu has complained about the loss of all the main ships of its third fleet, believing that we are using their warships as cannon fodder. This has seriously affected the relationship between our two countries, and hope that political fu can pay attention to it." Foreign Minister Paul said.

"You have been to Canada for a long time, you must explain it to them clearly. We absolutely do not mean to use the Allies as cannon fodder. All this is just a coincidence. The pace of war is getting closer and closer, and there will never be any problems with our alliance with Canada." Adams said seriously. It is difficult to defeat France with the United States' own strength alone. If Canada is added, the pressure on the United States will be much smaller. Therefore, the United States must obtain Canadian support.

Paul nodded: "I will set off for Ottawa tomorrow!"

"His Excellency President, because a large number of workers have participated in the march, many factories have been inadequately started recently. It has seriously affected our established industrial plan." The Minister of Industry also began to complain. In order to achieve the established strategic goals, he was almost crazy by Adams. Now he has made such a fuss, which makes him feel even more difficult to complete the plan.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to solve this problem." Adams roued his forehead and felt a little exhausted. Recently, he has been too busy and has to work overtime until late at night.

"His Excellency the President, agricultural production across the country is relatively stable. All farms have achieved good harvests, and basically few people from the farms have joined the march." The Minister of Agriculture also replied.

Adams nodded. Food is always one of the most important strategic materials. Adequate guarantee of food will be very helpful to the war in the United States in the future.

"His Excellency the President, the government has taken many measures to calm the anger of the people, but all have achieved little effect." Brian was also full of bitterness on his face.

"Isn't it easy to calm the anger of the people? Just send the defeated people to the military court," said Henry, the head of the Army Department, suddenly. He and Davis were not in harmony. In recent years, the navy has been the focus of national development, which makes the navy account for a considerable part of the annual military expenditure, and the army only has a small part of it. This made him very dissatisfied. He often claimed on many occasions that the navy is unreliable. In the end, it depends on their army.

Davis did not refute, as if he hadn't heard Henry's words at all. From the beginning of the meeting, he lowered his head and focused on the documents in front of him, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, although Davis did not refute, someone did it for him. President Adams spoke directly.

"Enough. General Henry. Now is the moment when the country is in a crisis. We should unite, not shirk responsibility." Adams was a little angry. Because the people not only shouted the slogan of sending Davis to military hair, but also proposed to let him step down. Now Henry advocated sending Davis to military court. That subconsciously, if he is not a task, as president, should he step down? This is something Adams absolutely cannot tolerate. Therefore, Henry immediately rebuked him.

At this time, Henry also realized that what was wrong with his words was wrong. Facing Adams' rebuke, he not only could not argue, but also had to admit his mistake.

No one saw that, and a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of Davis's mouth, who looked down at the document. He knew that he would face great pressure when he returned to the United States. Therefore, he kept a low profile. At the same time, he did not admit defeat. The war with France had just begun. The failure at the beginning does not mean that the war will definitely fail.

Finally, Adams finished venting his anger and then said, "So now, let's talk about how we should solve the current crisis?"

Now everyone imitated Davis, lowered their heads and said nothing.

On the contrary, Davis raised his head this time and said confidently: "Your Excellency the President, it is not impossible to calm the anger of the people."

When everyone heard Davis's speech, he looked at him and saw what he was going to say.

"A large part of the reason for this failure lies with the British. We can push all the responsibility on the British, and believe the people will believe it," said Davis.

Henry curled his lips with contempt. He clearly lost the battle, but he put the blame on the British. This person was so shameless.

Others' eyes lit up. It is also a good idea to divert the conflicts between the people and point the finger at Britain that betrayed the United States.

"Davis, continue." A smile appeared on Adams' face. Thinking that he had ordered Davis to be rescued from Britain, he really made the right decision.

"First of all, in the battle on the Isle of Wight, the British were afraid of France and did not work hard during the battle. This made our country and the Canadian Allies fight alone and eventually fail. Secondly, after the French team landed in Britain, I repeatedly proposed to cooperate with the British army to fight against France, but they were rejected. Moreover, the British shamelessly surrendered to France again and besieged us with the French army. This led to the failure of the entire battle. Even the failure of the navy can also be attributed to the British people." Davis said.

"Okay, that's it. Brian, the government has increased its publicity and revealed the shameless faces of the British, so that people can see their true colors clearly." Adams said loudly.

Next, the failure of the US political propaganda should be attributed to the shameless betrayal of the British again. Many people who do not know the truth, under the guidance of the political guidance, vent their anger on the UK.

Now, the British who were stranded in the United States suffered. The angry Americans rushed into their homes, snatched their property, beat them, robbed them, forced them, and other disasters all came to them. The police ignored them at all. In the end, there was no way, and most of the British had to flee to Canada or South America, and some even fled back to the UK by boat. The United States is no longer the paradise of the free world they claimed.

It was not until early September that the movement of the United States was calmed down. After the people's anger was vented, under the guidance of the government, it entered a tense preparation for war. However, in the political propaganda, in addition to defeating the evil France, there was also the need to punish the shameless France.
