Chapter 2151: Dual Anchor Policy Three
"There will be opposition, but it will not be very big." Roosevelt raised his first finger after finishing speaking: "The Tsarist Russian government has fallen, and a brand new Russian government will be established in the future. From this perspective, Germany There is no reason to continue the war. After all, it is impossible for Germany to completely swallow Russia, and Russia has no ability to regain its own territory. When neither side can completely defeat the opponent, the possibility of a direct confrontation is not high. As for Talk about Russia's hatred of Germany? This will definitely continue, but it will definitely not explode now!"
"But Britain is different. The British are not completely defeated. They still have a strong fleet, colonies all over the world, and have the basis for a comeback. Russia can't see this for the time being. Therefore, Germany's attitude towards Britain must be better than that of Russia. Much more sensitive."
"The second point." Roosevelt stretched out his second finger and said: "Germany needs the market in the Far East, not only in Southeast Asia but also in East Asia. Speaking with the army, and it is impossible for Germany to use the army in large quantities, then a spokesperson is needed to beat the Japanese severely on land, so the confrontation between the Russian army and the Japanese army is beneficial to Germany, and even to some extent , Germany will support Russia!"
"The third point is that Russia is a double-headed eagle. They look at Europe with one head and Asia with the other. Regardless of whether Europe faces Germany or Asia faces Japan, Russia is at a disadvantage. Russia has enemies on both sides of the east and west. Therefore, whether a new Russian regime is finally established, they must be friendly with us, only we can help them, and they will fight for us!" Roosevelt said with some pride.
"This is a good idea. At least we have a more reliable ally. We are not alone in Europe." Taft thought for a while and said.
"However, the choice of our partners is also a problem. The internal situation in Russia is very complicated. There are Bolsheviks, Kolchak, and some anarchists. Who do we choose? And how do we get in touch with them?" Robert F. Lan Xin asked.
"Whoever the Germans choose to make an agreement with finally, we will choose whoever." Roosevelt said: "Germany will only reach a treaty with the victor in Russia in the end. Before that, we can't go beyond Germany and contact Russia, but it doesn't matter, whether it is Whoever wins in Russia must go to war with the Japanese in the Far East, unless the Japanese themselves withdraw from Russian territory."
Does it matter who is in power in Russia? In fact, it is really not important to the United States. What Roosevelt needs is that the Russians can provide an army to contain Japan. It is enough to complete this task. As for ideology or something. Germany and the United States are not the same, how do you say that? There are only eternal interests but no eternal friends! A Russia that can cooperate with the US strategy is a good Russia!
"Then General Pershing and General Benson, what do you two think of this plan?" Seeing that the government's problem had been resolved, Roosevelt asked two representatives of the US military.
"This is a new battlefield, and it doesn't conflict with our original plan in the Pacific Ocean, so we agree with the plan of the President." Pershing glanced at Benson, who did not express any objection, so Pershing agreed with Roosevelt's plan. Agree.
"In this way, we will have two allies in the Far East in the future. At sea, the United States Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet set out from Pearl Harbor and attack all the way to Guinea Island. In East Asia, the Russian army will attack Japan in the Far East. If the latter goes well, we may even drive Japan's military and political influence out of Southeast Asia!"
"We do both,
Germany and Russia will be the twin anchors of the United States of America cruise ship into the Far East! With these two anchors. We will surely win in the end, and we don't even have to care about the attitude of Britain and France in this war. ” Roosevelt finally characterized his plan.
"And what about our attitude toward Russia after the war?" Taft asked.
"We will persuade Russia to calmly deal with the conflicts and problems between Germany and Russia. What Russia needs is development. We can provide them with financial and technical support in exchange for their support in the Far East and Europe. Of course, if we arrive When we have to fight the Germans to the death, Russia will play the same role as they did in World War I—to help us contain a considerable part of the Allied land forces." Roosevelt said.
"Even if we choose the Russians as our allies, we still have to consider the problems of the British. So what is our bottom line on the British problem?" Robert Lansing asked.
"We don't need to think about this issue. The Germans will not beat the British to death. They also worry that we will inherit most of the British heritage after the British collapse. Sometimes wars are not aimed at killing the enemy. I guess the Germans just want some colonies and indemnities. According to the information we collected before, if the Germans only want southern Africa and add a certain amount of indemnities, then we should not interfere." Roosevelt said .
"It is said that the British delegation will set off again to negotiate with the Germans?" Taft said, "Do you think the negotiations will be successful this time? If not, what will be the consequences?"
"If the negotiation fails, the Germans will probably attack the Grand Fleet!" Roosevelt said.
"Which Crown Prince will go to the battlefield in person?" Taft said a little emotionally.
"Maybe. But don't think too much about it. From a national point of view, if we can do the first grade of junior high school, they can be fifteen. From a personal point of view, he will eventually rule an empire and a kingdom, and It is impossible for us to be president for a lifetime, and President Lincoln will be assassinated during his term of office, so it is probably okay to kill a few high-ranking government officials who have left office, right?" Roosevelt said pointedly.
"Virtue and Germany may turn against each other in the future, but we are allies after all, so we'd better not do anything excessive. At least, the army and navy will not ask the Germans for information beyond the range." Pershing on the side The general said solemnly, looking at Taft with a trace of disgust. Everyone knows Taft's subtext—if Ruprecht dies on the battlefield, it seems like a good thing for the Americans?
