Having suffered huge casualties in the First World War, the United States began to practice isolationism in the 20s, determined not to participate in any military conflicts in Europe again.

As isolationism worsened, it led to the introduction of a strict tariff system, one-sided encouragement of exports, restrictions on the import of various goods, and the loss of effective communication with countries around the world. This was thought to be an important trigger for the Great Depression that followed.

This isolationist national policy brought the United States six years of false prosperity, and finally fell into a desperate situation in 1929, with the national economic depression and unemployment soaring to 13%.

The reason why the mafia was able to sweep South America overnight is because of the deep drawbacks of national policies. Because of the brutal Great Depression, Americans have basically lost the patience they deserve.

Constrained by the country's policy of isolation, the Great Depression in the United States was contained until early 1938, but there was still no substantial improvement.

It was under these extremely difficult circumstances that President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in on March 4, 1933, and was eligible for re-election on January 20, 1937.

Roosevelt was an ambitious president who was dissatisfied with the country's long-standing isolationism.

At the same time, they were extremely wary of the growing international communist movement. It was in this extremely contradictory state of mind that he did not rush into battle and tried to change the national policy of isolationism.

As time went on, the consequences of state isolationism became more and more severe. Not only the economy collapsed, but also militarily miserable.

The country's military strength is still at the level of the First World War, the armament of the army and navy is a mess, and the air force is not (also called the army air force).

So far, even an advanced cannon cannot be produced independently. Even throughout World War II, the artillery used by the U.S. military was someone else's.

Roosevelt did not directly lobby lawmakers to change national isolationism, but as the situation in Asia and Europe deteriorated, he and his think tank began to secretly prepare.

This preparation was an all-round large-scale political and military plan, in addition to the continuous accumulation of the most advanced military technology, but also the covert hoarding of war materials. One of the most important links in this is the Pearl Harbor Naval Base!

The attack on Pearl Harbor, which later took place, turned out to be a huge conspiracy. The lives of more than 1,200 U.S. Marines were nothing more than a political victim.

Of course, judging by the current results, it was worth sacrificing more than a thousand people, which was the fundamental reason why Roosevelt dared to gamble. He succeeded, and history does not condemn the successful, so Roosevelt was a great president.

This is all an afterthought, so I won't mention it for the time being.

It is said that the second time Major Garvey appeared, it was no longer one person, but four people came.

To say that these four people are not small: in addition to Major Galvey of the Naval Secret Brigade Command, there are also Lieutenant Colonel Ramos of the Naval Materiel Command, and Captain Brut of the Naval Intelligence Command. The fourth man was an old acquaintance, Payne, the Manchurian agent of the Texas Oil Company.

Zhang Jingfu was invited to the office of the president of Japan's Sakurada Investment Company, and Payne smiled at him and said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat, this position is now yours!" ”

"Mr. Payne, could you please help me introduce, who are these three chiefs?" Zhang Jingfu did not sit in the position of president in a daze, but said vigilantly: "It is impossible for me to sit in this position before I get the official legal documents." ”

"Okay, okay, I know that both you and your commander-in-chief have great doubts about my identity, and today I will tell you the truth." Payne smiled slightly: "I am the Manchurian agent of the Texas Oil Company, and this identity is true." However, I have another identity, and that is the personal representative of the president. ”

"The main purpose of my visit to Manchuria is to find out how great the war potential of the Japanese is, and at the same time to find out how much of your China is capable of withstanding war. The emergence of the Rehe Front made many of the strategies of the Japanese go to waste, and I am already well aware of it. ”

"Bringing you here is certainly not within my power. When I was in Pyongyang, we saw your army, and naturally we saw some things that you didn't keep secret from me, such as weapons and equipment, such as antibiotics. ”

"Your occupation of North Korea is blocking an important passage for the Japanese to obtain large resources from Manchuria. This is of great help to China's battlefield, and is even vital to the situation in Asia as a whole, and even to the world situation. ”

"Mr. Zhang may not be very clear about this kind of strategic issue, but your commander-in-chief knows it in his heart. Of course, your commander-in-chief understands, and we understand, and this is the basis on which we can cooperate. ”

"As your commander-in-chief said, the starting point of the Japanese war is to pass on the domestic crisis, and it is a desperate attempt to die. In the same way, the basis on which the Japanese relied to sustain the war was to obtain precious resources. ”

"Your current situation is the same as Japan's, you need war resources, you need huge production capacity. For example, the high-octane oil, which is necessary for war, is not available to the Japanese, and you do not have it. Without it, you wouldn't be able to drive even if you had a warship, and you wouldn't be able to fly if you had an airplane. The same is true for the Japanese. ”

"I appreciate the words of your commander-in-chief: mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. Your presence here is a good start to our cooperation. Isn't it just to attract the attention of our military when you put the latest radar on the sea with great fanfare? Well, I have to admit that the purpose of your commander-in-chief has been achieved! ”

"Mr. Zhang, the three of them are Major Galvey of the Naval Secret Brigade Command, Lieutenant Colonel Ramos of the Naval Materiel Command, and Captain Brut of the Naval Intelligence Command. The reason why the three of them have come here today is that they have been authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to begin negotiations on cooperation in the first step. ”

"As for the Japanese? It's just a monkey in the Pacific Ocean, and few people take it seriously. You did not seek this company because they took advantage of the economic crisis in our country to swallow up rubber factories, tire factories, oil and gas factories, gear factories, bearing factories and standard parts factories. ”

"Now, as a basic condition, we hand over these factories to you, which is a small gesture before starting a formal cooperation, and it is also a way for us to show our sincerity. Major Calve, please take out the power of attorney, and give the proof of asset transfer to this Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Jingfu listened to one of Payne's remarks, and then he knew that the other party was not a guy to mess with. I muttered to myself in my heart: The president's personal representative, damn it, it's really not small!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingfu cheered up his spirit and asked ambiguously: "Chiefs, I don't know what you want to talk about specifically, or where to start. ”

Lieutenant Commander Ramos of the Naval Materiel Command sat down on his stool, and then said with a smile: "Capone, he is indeed very clever and scheming. However, he said that he was bored in prison and was able to invent the most advanced radar, which only God would believe! ”

Zhang Jingfu was noncommittal, and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Ramos without acknowledging, because he knew that there must be something to follow.

"When Mr. Payne was in Pyongyang, he saw something very similar to these three antennas, which are your communications antennas. At that time, Mr. Payne had always thought that it was an ordinary communication antenna, so he did not pay enough attention to it. ”

"However, after you invested in Phil's electronics company, you were able to invent a new radar in less than half a month. This level of scientific research that exceeds the speed of meteors, Mr. Zhang, don't you think it's too outrageous? I don't think that the commander-in-chief in Mr. Payne's mouth must have been developed a long time ago, but it is just for you to show us. ”

"Also, your Commander-in-Chief once graciously gave Mr. Payne a drawing, remember it was free. Therefore, we believe that your mysterious army has an extremely strong research and development team. It's just that because of the interference of the Japanese, I couldn't find a quiet place to produce. ”

"So, let's talk about antibiotics, large aircraft, surface ships, navigation radars, research results on light and heavy weapons, and of course, your commander-in-chief's procurement package, and your development plans here."

"I have seen the sincerity of several commanders." Zhang Jingfu nodded: "My boss said that our enemies are the Japanese, and the American people are our friends. As for Chief Ramos, I think our attitude should be clear. ”

"The problem of antibiotics, the market in the Americas has been handed over to Mr. Payne. Mr. Capone should have made it clear about our purchasing intentions. Yes, the patent for this radar can be transferred to you. My boss also said that as a sign of sincerity, this radar can be transferred for free. ”

"But only if our procurement plans are not disrupted and that Mr. Capone is released early. Because you have too few troops in the Pacific Northwest at the moment, you need to have some force to cause some trouble for the Japanese and delay their movements. This gives both of us time to prepare. ”

"Besides, the actions of the civilian legal or illegal armed forces on the high seas can do some things that the US government wants to do but cannot do, and it has nothing to do with the US government. My boss believes that this is a compromise plan that both the United States and Japan have steps on, and it should not affect the foreign policy of the US government. ”

Captain Brut of the Naval Intelligence Command shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, please forgive me for being blunt. If it weren't for the fact that you caught the grip of the Japanese this time, our government would really not have been able to come forward and promise anything. ”

"You know, the Japanese ambassador is a mad dog, and it's hard to entangle. Once the Kapeng affair leaks out, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for our government to clean up the mess. ”

Zhang Jingfu smiled slightly: "Under the legal framework of your government, it is not a very difficult legal issue to set up an armed escort company. In the unlikely event that something happens in the future, your Government could announce the revocation of the licence of the armed escort company and request a joint crackdown by an international organization. ”

In this way, your government has occupied the moral high ground both morally and legally, and it can better demonstrate the spirit of justice in enforcing the law by your government. As for how this escort company survives, it's not a very simple technical problem, isn't it? ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
