The Americans could only bear such a huge loss alone, after all, public opinion throughout the world was currently tilted towards Europe, and no one believed the American's explanation.
However, the Americans' response measures are not limited to using media for explanation. According to data investigated by the British intelligence agency, the Americans were frantically building warships of various sizes to expand their naval strength.
After all, with America's unique geographical advantage, they could defend both the Pacific and Atlantic, and American territory would hardly be threatened.
Countries like Canada and Mexico are located to the north and south of America, but whether it's Mexico or Canada, neither poses a significant threat to America at this time, and naturally wouldn't be taken seriously by the American government.
Because of the Americans' secretive expansion of their warship fleet, the British have become more cautious of them.
