"Three dictators signed a so-called 'Steel Alliance'. In these countries, there is no democracy and freedom at all. The people are deprived of the right to speak, and only endless military expansion is left.
.Three robbers sat in front of the globe, discussing how to carve up the world, but the American people, who were expected by the free world, remained indifferent.
It's time for us to do something. If they are allowed to continue like this, the world will be controlled by this evil 'axis', and the people and self-government will decline.
They have threatened the survival of Americans and carried out robberies in open battle areas around the world. Zhuyashvili worked with the Germans to carve up Poland, and sent troops to occupy Finnish territory. The Germans continued to annex Denmark and Norway, and Mussoli

"Washington Post" April 13, 1940 - Axis of Evil
Since the outbreak of the Nanyang War, Sino-U.S. relations have become extremely bad. The U.S. government has repeatedly issued stern diplomatic announcements, demanding that the republican government stop "aggression" and unconditionally withdraw its troops from occupied colonial territories. Sino-U.S. relations have become
The system has become extremely tense.
The war between the two countries was about to break out, but Roosevelt could not involve the United States into the war as he wanted. The anti-war voice in the United States was very high, and he had to carefully and slowly reverse the situation according to his own wishes.
American concept.
The latest public opinion poll shows that 67% of Americans believe that the United States should enter the war, but 82% of Americans oppose entering the war immediately. The total number of rearmed U.S. Army troops is only 570,000, and
The navy is also poorly prepared. The latest assessment report believes that even if the U.S. Navy concentrates all its strength, it will not be able to fight against the maritime power of the Republic of China.
Strength. In addition to the 7 modified "captured battleships", the Republic of China has 15 latest high-speed battleships in service, while the United States has only 2 North Carolina class and 4 South Dakota class, which can barely be regarded as new battleships. However, due to the 35,000
Due to the restriction of the displacement of treaty-type battleships, the performance of these six battleships was also unsatisfactory.
The biggest gap is in aircraft carriers. The Americans only have 6 fleet aircraft carriers, while the Chinese Navy has 18, and their performance is far better than that of the U.S. Navy.
Although Roosevelt has made some tough speeches many times, and the attitude of the American people towards the war is also changing, especially after the Republican Army invaded Australia, almost all American public opinion turned to support domestic intervention by sending troops to the country. "Interventionism"
"Ideology is affecting Americans. After all, from a racial perspective, the vast majority of Americans are still very inclined to white people, especially Anglo-Saxons.
Roosevelt seized this opportunity and passed the Lend-Lease Act in Congress, which enabled Britain, which was already financially strapped, to "borrow" the weapons and large quantities of supplies needed to support the war in the United States without spending cash.
But no matter how much the British urged, Roosevelt still refused to relent on the issue of participating in the war. He had been using domestic anti-war sentiment as an excuse to frustrate Britain. The real situation was that the United States was not ready yet, and Roosevelt was reorganizing
Arms, on the one hand, are waiting for the right time.
"British Foreign Secretary Eden is on his way to Washington. I have just received the special envoy sent by Australian Prime Minister Curtin. George, what should we do? If this continues, maybe the whole of Australia and even New Zealand will fall under the control of the Chinese
Mouth." In the White House office, Roosevelt said to his most trusted Army Chief of Staff.
"President, we need to be patient. If you rush into the war now, you will only get failure." George Marshall, sitting in the President's Office, said, "Why should we fight for the British?
?" After saying that, he glanced at Hopkins standing next to the president.
"Prime Minister Curtin has promised that Australia will give the United States its primary consideration in future diplomatic relations and is willing to cut off their ties with the United Kingdom." Roosevelt said, "They may even become a protectorate of the United States.

"So what? We have no way to move the shipyards, tank factories and artillery factories to Australia now. Their commitment came too late. When we are suffering from an economic crisis, the Australians follow the British
, closed the market to us." Hopkins said, "They didn't make this decision until they had to, but how else can we help them now?"
"George, when will the army and navy be ready?" Roosevelt suddenly asked.
"It will take at least one year. I agree with the Navy's priority plan, and the supply of materials will also be given priority to the Navy." Marshall said, "The problem is that although we have stepped up the construction of warships, the latest warships will not be available until next summer.
It can only be put into service, and after several months of debugging and training, our navy will not be able to attack before 1941."
"Is it possible for us to provide the Australians with some necessary equipment?" Roosevelt said.
"I agree in this regard, but the number of Australian troops is very limited. They do not have enough soldiers." Marshall replied, "Only 300,000 Australian troops cannot resist the Chinese invasion."
"I have a suggestion!" Hopkins said, "The Japanese are asking us for assistance. Their industry is completely destroyed. But they have enough soldiers. We can rearm them and send them to Australia.
Let them help us defend it."
"In this way, we need to help them find a place to reorganize industry, but I don't want it to be in the United States. When those yellow people arrive, they will destroy the entire United States." Roosevelt said, "And one thing is that the Japanese are very concerned about the land.
The level of desire is far greater than that of the Chinese, and this will become a disaster sooner or later."
"The British agreed to persuade Chile to allow the Japanese to reorganize their military and shipbuilding industries in Cospia and Iquique in northern Chile. As for future disasters, that is a problem for the Latins. Maybe we can get greater benefits from it.
benefits," Hopkins said.
Japan has been suffering from frequent bombings on its homeland and has no ability to rearm its arms, so it can only turn its attention overseas. With the support of the British, it rented two ports in Chile and began to build a new shipbuilding industry and military industry in South America. Moreover,
Since Japan has about 2.5 million immigrants in South America, with the support of these immigrants, Japan's pace of reorganizing its military industry is proceeding quite rapidly.
"Well, we can provide necessary help to the Japanese. The Lend-Lease Act also applies to Japan and France, but only if they agree to send at least 1 million troops to Australia." Roosevelt said, arm the Japanese and let them
They go to fight for the Americans, which is what he wants to do most. (To be continued.
