"It's really not a good choice...... In this case, the United States will not be able to get much benefit in any case. "Looking out of the bright window, Roosevelt frowned and muttered to himself.www.biquge.info

It is very unwise to let the United States enter the war early, and in fact the United States itself is not suitable for this option.

President Wilson, when the United States failed to achieve its strategic goals in World War I, left Germany as a foreshadowing, allowing Germany to break out again at a critical moment, and bring the former hegemon Britain to the downfall.

Calculating and calculating, when the United States has completed 80 percent of its own strategic arrangements and is almost close to success, there has been a change!

Germany, which was led by the nose by the United States like a puppet along the way, suddenly had a "self-awareness" at this time and was ready to jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player by itself.

This leads to two distinct levels of threat: one strategic and one tactical!

If Germany only came up with an idea of survival when it was forced to do so, and only under the impetus of this idea did it reluctantly think of secretly mobilizing this move, it was a change at the tactical level!

Then it will be very simple for the United States to deal with this change, just continue to stand still, and let Britain and Germany go dog-eat-dog on their own.

But if Hitler was a strange man who had been clumsy, and the German top brass had not shown such recklessness, this problem at the tactical level would have risen to the strategic level in an instant!

There has been a change at the strategic level, and this is not easy to deal with! Because Roosevelt did not know exactly when the Germans began to lay their own chess pieces at the strategic level!

In other words, Roosevelt could not be sure when the Germans began not to advance along the strategic arrangements of the United States!

That's the big problem in the real sense of the word! This is the real root cause of Roosevelt's lament that "it is not a good choice".

On the surface, Germany jumped out of the US arrangement only a day ago and began to "go off the beaten path." However, the question of when Germany began to go its own way was not clear for Roosevelt in a short time.

Did the Germans start to use the United States at the end of the First World War and deploy their own chess game, or did they start to follow their own line after Hitler came to power?

In the 21 years from 1919 to 1940, how many links were the success of the Americans' plans, and how many of them were shown by Germany to the United States, but secretly had their own ideas?

Anyway, in this series of thoughts, Roosevelt found that he couldn't see through the Yuan on the other side. He even suddenly had a feeling that the opponent on the other side of the ocean had been replaced!

Roosevelt knew that it was not appropriate or feasible to directly let the United States choose to enter the war because of the strategic change.

After the thankless First World War, isolationism was rife in the United States, and the people were seriously war-weary.

Against this backdrop, it is simply impossible to win the Congress, using a speculation and a whole host of shady reasons to prompt the United States to send troops to Europe.

That is to say, the United States now does not have the ability to jump directly out of the chessboard with Germany -- another aspect is also very telling.

Before 39 years, the total strength of the US Army was actually only a few hundred thousand people, so if you want to meddle in European affairs, how can you mobilize 2 million regular troops?

Train two million troops and then transport them to the battlefields of Europe...... Let's not talk about whether there is a place for these armies, even if there is a place, it will not be able to be completed in a year.

A year later? Just kidding, the current German Army is already a million lions, and the German army, which will be strengthened a year later, will be eaten by the United States' own 2 million troops? Whoever eats is a problem, right?

Another reason for Roosevelt to give up directly declaring war on Germany was because there was a Soviet Union next to Germany!

The United States mobilized its troops and went on expeditions to Europe and Germany to fight a protracted war...... If you think about it, this is also the rhythm of the Soviets cheapened.

No way! After the defeat of the United States and Germany, the Soviet Red Army held high the banner of communism and marched west to conquer Europe - this game is hellish difficulty!

The Soviet Union took Europe, ate European technology, and then played "isms export", which is the rhythm of unifying the whole world -- the United States God assists, and the good people do not explain......

Therefore, Roosevelt gave up on such a thing as the United States entering the war ahead of schedule. Now he doesn't have many means left, not to mention that the United States now has another opponent who has missed the calculation!

Japan is eyeing the Pacific Ocean, occupying a large area of Chinese territory, and is sharpening its knives and waiting to challenge US hegemony.

Dealing with Japan, or weakening it, suppressing its rise and making it a lackey of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region is the top priority for the United States.

"On the German side, we can only pay close attention first, after all, it is still within the strategic framework and has not made waves." Roosevelt squinted, his mind calculating.

What made him make such a judgment was the report sent to him by the Navy Department yesterday -- the design drawings of the Nagato-class battleships.

Although not detailed, these drawings indicate the detailed design and structure of the battleship, as well as the thickness of the armor in many key areas.

In the past few days after getting this drawing, the United States found a large group of professional engineers to calculate, and found that the structural design on the drawing can withstand scrutiny!

What does this mean? This shows that this set of drawings that are not very detailed is eighty percent true! The data above is eighty percent true!

The Japanese Navy has been concealing, concealing the true speed of the Nagato-class battleships, which they claim to the outside world is 23 knots.

However, on the drawings given by the Germans, the speed of the Nagato-class battleships was a terrible 26 knots, which was already a high speed that American battleships could not catch up!

Whether it is to seize the position, or when attacking or escaping, high speed means a greater advantage!

Looking at the armor and artillery -- all of these are blatantly aimed at the United States, and it seems that Japan is looking for trouble with the United States, and it is premeditated!

Roosevelt saw the analysis of these drawings, and the appearance of this intelligence made Roosevelt think that he saw the weaknesses of the Germans, and saw the flaws of the Germans!

At a time when the United States is not a friend or foe, there are still people working to unite the United States, which in itself is a signal that Germany's strategic line is not clear!

After Roosevelt decided not to enter the war for the time being, he did not immediately give up supporting Britain and continue to consume Germany.

He decided to increase aid to Britain and then try to get more benefits in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The United States must use this war to fundamentally weaken the old European powers such as Britain, France, and Germany. On the ruins of Europe, dumping American goods, so that Europe becomes the little brother supported by the United States!

Only in this way can the United States avoid being isolated from the world pattern by Europe, and prevent the Soviet Union from setting off a bloody storm in Europe and building a terrible "communist continent"!

"Support for the British has to be strengthened, this is what has to be done." After making up his mind, Roosevelt wrote these words on the sticky notes on the desk in front of him.

When the meeting was held later, he wanted to urge Marshall and others to draw up a more detailed plan for supporting Britain as soon as possible, and replenish supplies to North Africa and other places.

"The first batch of tanks sent out, as well as military supplies, I don't know if there is no ...... in the Middle East now" The US president is thinking about this question at this moment.

"Sir!" While Roosevelt was pondering these questions, an intelligence officer walked in, with a brown paper bag for the file under his arm.

He walked up to Roosevelt, opened the paper bag, then took out the documents inside and placed them in front of Roosevelt: "News from the British side. ”

Glancing at the words on the papers, Roosevelt squinted his eyes and put them down. He looked up at the intelligence officer and took off his glasses: "The 'shadow' is still there?" And also leaked the performance of the Spitfire? ”

"Yes! Recently, the British have been investigating this matter, and they are still covering it up. The intelligence officer replied.

The intelligence officer's words made the expression on Roosevelt's face even more difficult to look at, and in the eyes of the president, the British seemed to prove to the United States that it would not be able to find a shadow in the short term.

"So, if we now supply the British P-39 and P-40 fighters, the Germans will also know about the performance of our fighters?" Roosevelt had to think carefully about whether American aid would bring disaster to him.

After all, the Germans could sell intelligence to the United States, and of course they could sell intelligence to Japan -- if the British could not keep the American secret, then the secret would probably be known to the Japanese!

This was not an outcome that Roosevelt was willing to see, nor was it something he was willing to bear. However, he still has to ask the experts in this area, which shows his trust in the professionalism of his subordinates.

"Mr. President...... The main performance of the fighter is pieced together little by little by relying on test flights and the manufacturer's tests, and only to provide finished aircraft, eighty percent of front-line pilots cannot provide the detailed performance of the fighter they drive! The intelligence officer answered the president's question.

"You have a point! But we don't have to take any chances! Roosevelt put the glasses between his fingers back on his desk.

But what he said afterwards meant something else: "Use this reason to negotiate with the British...... If you can ask for more things, you can ask for more...... After all, everything must be for the sake of the United States! ”
