Chapter 1694 National Strategy (seeking the month)
Chapter 1694 National Strategy (please vote for me!)
United States, White House.
Roosevelt was reading in the garden when he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Secretary of State Hull. He smiled and nodded to him and asked, "Has Congress passed the bill?"
Hull replied with a serious face: "Yes, all the bills submitted by the State Department have been passed. I have instructed Wells to formally summon the Japanese ambassador to announce to them the solemn position of our U.S. government... However,
, can Japan really be forced to withdraw its troops from the British colonies simply by abolition of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between the United States and Japan, freezing Japan's shipbuilding projects in the United States, and prohibiting the trafficking of scrap steel to Japan?"
"Cordell, we are just doing what we should do. Last month we abolished the "Arms Embargo Clause" and began selling weapons to belligerent countries. Although the 'cash and carry' clause is still retained, we cannot deny that
, this is a positive sign!”
Roosevelt looked at his old friend who was leaning on his right and left hands, pointed to the wicker chair next to him, and motioned for him to sit down:
"The American people are unwilling to go to war. At present, we can only do this step. Alas, I don't know when the Japanese began to become cunning. They actually purchased all the funds borrowed from our country except for ordering warships.
They have lost production lines and machinery and equipment for military production. Now they have less than 10 million assets left in the United States. Freezing assets is of little use to them. Instead, it will stimulate them to do stupid things. The United States is not ready yet.
, this step must be reserved for critical moments.”
"But... dear Franklin, since we made concessions on the Lanyin issue a year ago, Japan has obtained the oil they dreamed of, plus oil and steel from the Soviet Far East, and now Japan has
With a relatively complete war system, we have to admit that Japan has now become the most important enemy of the United States!"
Hull sat down on the wicker chair next to Roosevelt and asked worriedly: "My Mr. President, do you think we can prevent the expansion of the Japanese army if we join the war now?"
Roosevelt put the book on his legs and shook his head: "Japan has chosen a good time to expand... It's unbelievable to think about it. The Japanese are almost at the door, but the "Weapons Ban" was revised last month.
The "Articles of Transport" were only passed by a slim majority. Any bill proposed by the government that might lead to the United States' involvement in the war would trigger strong public protests, leading to a split among the country's major political forces.
Crack...Dear Cordell, as long as you give me two years, as long as two years, once all the production lines of all factories in the United States are started, and all men and women enter the factories, I am confident that I can suppress the Japanese through various means.
Ambition, but it doesn’t work now... America’s defense plan has not had time to start, and it is not yet capable of becoming the arsenal of the democratic camp..."
After a pause, Roosevelt's expression became extremely solemn: "Last night I had a small meeting with Secretary of War Harry Woodring, Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison, Chief of Staff of the Army General Marshall, and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William Leahy.
At present, the situation in our country is not optimistic. The army only has 110,000 troops. The navy ships have to conduct neutral patrols from Eastport, Maine to the Panama Canal - at least they cannot allow German submarines to disturb the peace of the US waters, so we cannot mobilize them.
The fleet goes to the Pacific Ocean.
"Look at our opponents again, because Japan completely received the Dutch navy, and also carried out the self -sinking warships of Vladivostok and Peter Rabaposk Port, and they used them to order from our country to order.
The merchant ship carried out the reconstruction of the warship. In the Pacific Ocean, the number of warships in Japan is better than us. This is a very helpless change.
"Because of this, both ministers of Harry Woodlin and Charles Edison are resolutely opposed to the war at this time. They believe that the best strategy is to ensure the security of the front line of Hawaii to Australia, so that the United States can be in trouble, and fully recover and fully recover and fully recover and fully recover and fully recover and fully recover and fully recover and do their best
The development of the economy, as long as our production capacity comes up, maintains a comprehensive advantage in Japan in national strength, the Japanese feel tremendous pressure, and will never easily involve risk.
"Our navy minister tells me that even if it is speeding up, at least in the middle of next year, all the warships built by the second Vincent Act will be completed. At that time
A relatively safe ratio ... It is particularly unbearable that the current army is probably not even comparable to the army of the Nanjing government of China, let alone the German army.
"General Marshall told me that the situation of the Army is very bad. Among the nine infantry divisions in the imagination, there are only the shelf of the first, the second, and the third division.
There are also first and second cavalry divisions. Each division usually has only 1,200 soldiers. Even according to the standards of 20 years, it is difficult to estimate how its value. Moreover, now our infantry is generally equipped with 1903 SEIS.
The Princefield rifle, although we have developed better 81mm and 60mm mortar, but due to funding problems, infantry continued to use the inaccurate 76mm Stoks mortar created during the European War in the last European War.
Cannon, and the 50mm machine cannon is still a basic anti -tank weapon. So far, all troops are equipped with a 37mm gun. The most basic field gun is still 75mm artillery.
The 105mm howitzer is replaced by the 75mm artillery, but this is just a long -term plan, not for the near future.
"The army has no combat effectiveness, and now Europe is happening 'strange war'. Domestic peaceture and isolation are filled with emotions. The people say that they are not anxious to face the British and France directly threatened.
? The expansion plan is far away ... "
Herr frowned: "As the soul of the navy, why did Harry and Charles say that? Also, did General Marshall have a targeted plan? Is their army and navy ready to give up the Philippines?"
"Marshall is a person who is willing to do it. Although the military expenses and preparation problems have not been resolved until now, he has formulated a detailed army development plan to prepare for the purchase of 6,000 fighters.
The materials and quickly increased personnel of the troops so that the five infantry divisions can reach the plan to be full of military strength. In addition, General Marshall is in time to train 200,000 National Guard, so that at least eighteen divisions can provide at least eighteen divisions for training when they need
Basic military backbone. Just last month, Marshall also asked the War Planning Department to preliminate the "European War and President's Preparation Policies 'steps'. From this series of actions
! ""
Speaking of which, Roosevelt's eyes were helpless: "On the contrary, the two ministers, peace and isolation are too serious. I want to observe them for a while. If they can not show a positive side during this period, I am going to change the general.
In any case, the preparation work in the United States cannot be behind! "
"Is there a suitable candidate?"
Herr was taken aback. At this critical juncture, he replaced the Minister of the Sea Army, and the risk was too big.
"People have it, but I have to observe for a while!"
Roosevelt's face is determined: "Our main task is still obtaining the proposal of" Expanded National Defense Money "in Congress, so that we can build a large number of warships and expand the army, so that the navy and navy in the law and in a special state of national consciousness
Within the scope of the license, there is a capital that is dealt with with the enemy!
"In addition, in view of the crazy expansion of Japan, I have gone through Congress and quietly let MacArthur set up the US Army Far East Command in the Philippines.
Even if Japan attacks the Philippines, it is enough to maintain it for a while, and it is a big deal to retreat to Australia. Now for us, it takes time, time! "
Herr calmed down, he knew that Roosevelt had an accurate judgment of everything, and there was no right one among the current American politicians. He thought about it and asked: "If the Japanese occupy Southeast Asia, even India, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, and the United States.
Will the people awaken? "
"Of course, but this is not insurance!"
Roosevelt pushed the wheelchair wheels, so that he was put in the warm sun, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the bath of the sun.
"For the citizen of the United States, there are two psychological defense lines that maintain peace and stability. One is France, and the other is the Philippines and Australia. As long as France and the Philippines, Australia is safe and sound.
Join the war that has nothing to do with the United States.
"Although Southeast Asia and India are important, it is just the British colonies. For a long time, the United States has not received any benefits from there.
Fear of usurping their interests. Moreover, the public was very disgusted with colonialism. The war that happened in the above areas was mainly a replacement of colonial sovereignty. Whether the owner is British or Japanese, it cannot change its slavery colonial people.
nature.
"However, once France and the Philippines and the Philippines and Australia have problems, they will be disturbed, and they will even awaken from nightmares, worrying that their survival will be seriously threatened. At that time, everything will change everything."
Herr thought about it, and helplessly: "In this way, I want to change the status quo in a short time ... Germany and France are likely to repeat the scene of the last European war.
If Japan wants to conquer the British colonies in a short time, it is not so easy. It seems that it will be a long -lasting tug -of -war. At least before the United States is involved in, the war will not end. "
Roosevelt laughed, opened his eyes, turned around and looked at Herr: "Isn't this exactly what we need? We can obtain ample economic development and expansion of military preparations by curbing Japan and Germany, to help Britain, France, and France.
Time. The main thing is that through this war, we can completely get rid of the abominable economic crisis, making the United States the largest arsenal in the world.
"Before that, there were three major economic circles in the world. One was the beauty circle, and the other was the pound, and the third was the franc. However
The metal paid us. Later, if these hard currency was used, we could only use colonies and even government credit to borrow from us. The longer the war continued, the more obvious the dominance of the beauty circle.
"As long as there is two or three years, we can use British and French financial resources to fully develop. By then, whether it is Germany or Japan, it will not pose a threat to us! Once we participate in the war and win the final victory, the United States will become the full victory, and the United States will become the full victory.
The debtor of the world, the dominant position of Meiyuan will be established from this time. As the age of the United Kingdom and France, it will be gone! "
"That's it!"
Herr suddenly realized, admiring Roosevelt's great look.
