Chapter 2268 The American Plan III

"If it weren't for an accident, the United States and Britain might be the best alliance. Although the British have vast colonies, they don't interfere too much in European affairs. They have always pursued a policy of balance of power in the European continent. , In fact, we are also the beneficiary of this policy, but now, the Allied Powers have failed, and we have created a powerful country that we cannot control. This is a failure of the national strategy." Robert Lanxin said with some regret.

"However, there is no regret medicine in the world that can be sold. The British have ruined their relationship with us and deeply hurt the United States. Then we can't blame us for cooperating with the Germans. If it is wrong, it is also the fault of the British and has nothing to do with us. , even now, if anyone dares to publish an article about US-British cooperation in the newspapers, he will receive a bullet in the mail when he returns home!"

"To a certain extent, we are also a victorious country! Now, we can stand on the side of the Germans and divide up the interests after the collapse of the British Empire! What a wonderful thing this is. We did not participate in the war, but only used money and materials to win the war. Got huge benefits, not only from the British, but also from the Germans!" Roosevelt interrupted the conversation between the two and snapped.

"Don't tell me about the threat of the Germans. I know this better than you. I know the power of Germany and the foresight of the crown prince! In the United States, no one knows the horror of the other party better than me! I can say responsibly, None of you are the opponents of that crown prince! The Germans may indeed be our enemies in the future, but that is what the younger generations have to do, and the task of our generation is to create a good foundation for them!" Roosevelt said.

"Mr. President, I can't agree with you on this issue. The country needs a long-term strategy. They are the guideline for our actions. Germany has now bared its ferocious fangs. Now Germany is like a bird that is Like a growing lion, we must restrain them when he has not yet grown up. You should be aware that Europe is the center of civilization in this world. If this center is placed under the control of one country, then even if the whole world joins forces It may not be an opponent, and now that the Germans are ready to take over Africa, when Europe, West Asia, and Africa are all under the control of the German Empire, how can we stop the Germans?" Taft showed a rare Tough!

"Hehe, you compared Germany to a growing lion. Well, this metaphor is quite reasonable. Then I would like to ask, what do you think the United States of America is? Is it a bald sea eagle with full wings?" Roosevelt There was a hint of sarcasm in the words!

"What are you thinking?! We fought a war in the Philippines with the Japanese, and tens of thousands of U.S. navy and army officers and soldiers died thousands of miles away! A few years ago, we fought with the Japanese on the sea near the former German colony. What was the result of the fight?! When Britain, France and Russia were unable to look east, we didn’t even have the courage to face Japan alone! What were you doing when the Japanese invaded the Dutch East Indies?! America Don’t you know the military strength of the United States? Even Japan, a country that is not ranked high in Europe, is difficult for us to defeat alone. What confidence do you think the United States has to fall out with Germany now?” Roosevelt said mercilessly refuted.

Is America strong? Nature is powerful! There is no doubt about this. In history, when the Americans decided to participate in World War II, Churchill believed that he would win, and Mustache tried his best to avoid the United States' participation in the war, which also illustrates this point from the side.

But this kind of strength has a premise, that is, the Americans have decided to do their best to fight a war! From a strategic perspective, the efficiency of the U.S. government, powerful industry, and huge population make the U.S. a strategic giant.

However, in the First World War more than 20 years ago, although the United States has shown its majesty as a world hegemon, it is still a little immature.

And the performance at the tactical level is even worse. Let alone the navy, the Americans are far inferior to the British in terms of naval quality. As for the army, although the Battle of Saint-Mihiel was fought, the huge advantages of the US and French troops cannot be ignored. Moreover, the system of the US Army in World War I was far from that of other European powers. Many of the US artillery systems were based on The French can explain this problem. Therefore, at the time of World War I, when the United States had no idea of ​​fighting an all-out war, the combat effectiveness of the United States was really average! Even in the early days of World War II, the words of the British, our Italians were the interpretation of the combat effectiveness of the US military in the early days of the war....

"However, it is a good thing for the United States to have one more ally and Japan to have one less ally. As long as we do not go too far, I think the Germans will understand." Secretary of State Robert Lansing smoothed things over.

"Okay, Mr. Lan Xin, let's do some calculations. If we want to gain the friendship of the British, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is to at least help the British to get through this difficulty! Let's not Speaking of how to coordinate relations with Germany politically, is it purely economically speaking? The British destroyed more than 10 billion pounds of supplies and money for this war, and the Germans also spent hundreds of billions of Reichsmarks. The Germans want to To make up for the financial shortfall caused by the war, where will their money come from? Only from the British!"

Roosevelt paused and continued: "I can tell you very clearly that the compensation demanded by the Germans is astronomical! Even if it cannot be fully fulfilled in the end, the actual compensation paid by the UK will definitely allow the British to use up their hundreds of years of money." Accumulated! Well then, tell me, Mr. Lan Xin, why does the United States help the British provide more than ten figures of dollars? What can the United Kingdom bring us?"

"I can say without hesitation that the current UK is not worthy of being an ally of the United States at all, because they are too weak now. The last batch of British troops that can fight have entered the German prisoner-of-war camps. The last batch of British troops that can fight Most of the navy has disappeared in the rolling waves of the Norwegian Sea! The current British finances are a colander, a hole that cannot be filled with any amount of investment! Why did we go and still do for a country that has seriously hurt us? The allied Germans have fallen out? Anyone who thinks this way is either delusional or a fool!"
