Chapter 382

Raines was the first U.S. envoy to China. He immediately reported his movements to China, and our president gave instructions to participate and help China speak. At this time, when yuan Datou was in trouble during the official period of the Republic of China, the Americans suddenly stepped in.

The United States, which originally pursued isolationism, suddenly took everyone by surprise, especially the British side. This time, they stood on the side of Japan. Ben, hoping to take their little brother to join the first World War, but Britain could not think of it. Japan had no plan to send troops, and they could not send troops.

"Mr. Raines, I don't know what the United States wants?" British Minister Zhu erdian found an opportunity to meet Raines alone.

"I'm not very clear about this. It's a domestic order. You also know that if you want to know specific things, I still need to wait for domestic people to know." Raines really doesn't know, but that's the case with domestic orders.

Zhu erdian is a little confused now. The actions of the United States are completely inconsistent with the past. Britain has focused on Europe in the past year. Now the war has begun, and there is no time to pay attention to the United States. The United States is just a second-class military country. Although they have money, they follow isolationism. However, Zhu erdian dare not be careless. Now that the war has begun and both sides are wooing allies, it is unwise to offend the Americans at this time.

"Well, I hope someone from your country can arrange for us to meet as soon as possible." Zhu erdian got up directly.

Raines also thought after Zhu erdian left. There must have been some changes in China, but he didn't know much about a minister, and communication between the two sides was inconvenient, but this time it was his opportunity. Because he didn't pay attention to it, he rarely had a chance to perform as an envoy, but now he's back, and Raines is beginning to be full of confidence.

The United States is now expanding its army, but it is relatively secretive. First, it mobilized troops from the National Guard to join the normal army for training. Then the 75 infantry divisions formed began to improve slowly, but there is a problem: there are too few officers. Moreover, the heavy artillery brigade, engineering brigade, cavalry brigade and other units are also seriously short of officers. Many retired veterans have been recruited back, and a number of active soldiers have been promoted to non commissioned officers. The military academy began to speed up the curriculum.

These are the ills of the United States during World War I and World War II. Many Lieutenant company commanders are not as good as those non commissioned officers promoted in the battle process, and often have mental breakdown. Wesley has no good way to do this, so he can only hurry to see it. At the same time, he reminds Pershing that if such a situation is found, they will be dismissed directly on the battlefield. We should know that the US military ranks are very important, and changes in the battlefield must be ordered by the commander.

Wesley had seen the brother company. There was this point. The troops being shelled still need the company commander's order. For this, Wesley was more willing to believe in their non commissioned officers fighting on the front line.

A telegram transferred Wesley to Washington. Wesley was helpless. He couldn't get out of the plane now. He had to wait two years, otherwise he would be a real monster.

"Mr. President, I don't know what's going on this time?" Wesley asked weakly. After all, the traffic is too bad.

"Mr. Colonel, first of all, congratulations on your promotion. You are the fastest one," the president said with a smile.

"Thank you. I can take on more responsibility, but it needs to be proved," Wesley said confidently.

"Well, now China has started according to your expectation, but our battleships still need time. What do you think of this?"

"It's easy to handle. I think our minister will solve this kind of thing. It's nothing more than delay. There's no problem in delaying for a few months. Then the battle in Europe will be clear, and the British will need a large number of materials. They will never build a colony, so they can only order from us. I think the British will know how to choose."

"What about Japan. Ben? You said they wouldn't give up this opportunity. Do we want to go to war with them? They have joined the allies. If we go to war with them, it's tantamount to going to war with the real allies."

"You can think that if Japan and Ben go to war with us, the whole treaty countries will be pulled to the opposite of America, don't you think?"

"Ha ha, it's a very correct choice to step up the production of battleships. At the same time, I hope you can take your first marine brigade there. If we take over Qingdao, I hope you will become the first governor."

Wesley was stunned and asked him to become Governor? He really wants to go. After all, this is a good opportunity to go back and have a look, but he can't go, at least not now. After all, this war is a good time to improve his reputation, and he can get more power in the next war. This time is what he wants now.

"Sorry, Mr. President, my troops need to go to the European battlefield, not to maintain law and order," Wesley said decisively.

"I expected it." the president was not surprised. Now Wesley has done so much, how can he give up the battlefield in Europe? "So who do you think we should send?"

"I don't think it's necessary to send too many troops. At that time, our fleet will go for a stroll, and then leave a sub fleet and a marine brigade. I can immediately set up a marine brigade, where there are ready-made fortresses. At the same time, our new destroyers will fully undertake the task of cruising without fear of being attacked, like the Russians That way. "

"I see. Then you start to set up. You can discuss this matter with Pershing and set up more marine brigades, and the officers will be directly separated from your first brigade."

Wesley smiled bitterly. Now there is a shortage of officers everywhere. His first brigade finally has combat effectiveness. He can become an army as long as he experiences a medium-sized battle. Now he has to assign a group of officers.

However, there is no way to do this. The marine brigade he established adopts new training methods, and its combat effectiveness is obvious to all. Ordinary people can't command such troops, so Wesley can only agree.

General Pershing even waved and directly established five marine brigades, six of which were Wesley's. This was the advantage of cutting knives. Wesley hurried back to the barracks and began to establish. At the same time, he used his own funds to directly order a number of troop carriers in his shipyard.

The workers in the shipyard are now fully sufficient. All slipways can be started at the same time, and Wesley's Shipyard has become the largest shipyard in the United States and the largest in the world, which can start more than 20 ships of different tonnage at the same time.
