Chapter 1132： close ally

"Your Excellency, this is indeed a very big trouble. The entire eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean is under the control of the German Navy, so that the US aid to us can only be transported to Vladivostok through the Pacific Ocean. And the Siberian Railway The transportation capacity is very limited, so our front line cannot get these war materials in time." Molotov nodded.

This is undoubtedly a place that makes Bu Russia very tangled. The port of Vladivostok is full of war materials. However, all kinds of war materials on the front line have fallen into a shortage. Moreover, as time goes by, the shortage of these war supplies will become larger and larger.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, we hope that your country can transport more supplies to Murmansk through the North Atlantic route. The Germans are not very well-defended near Greenland and Iceland. Ships should be able to pass. said Molotov.

Hull shook his head: "That's too dangerous. The danger comes not only from the German naval ships, but also from the icebergs on the route. If we transport war materials to your country through this route, the loss will be very serious. big."

Molotov was silent. The Americans would reject this route, which did not exceed his expectations. Indeed, this is a very dangerous route. However, Bu Russia really needs support now.

"Your Excellency, instead of transporting supplies to your country through dangerous routes, it is better to further tap the capacity of the Siberian Railway. In this case, the effect may be more obvious." Minister Woodling suggested.

"We will find a way. Now, the trains running on the Trans-Siberian Railway are almost all loaded with war materials transported from Vladivostok." Molotov said.

"Perhaps we can transport war materials to Russia on the Arctic Ocean route. Although the Arctic Ocean route will be frozen in winter, it can still be transported in summer. If we send some icebreakers, there should be no big problem." Admiral George Marshall Said.

"Arctic Ocean route?" Everyone else's eyes lit up.

"The Arctic Ocean route may also be very dangerous!" Hull said.

Admiral George Marshall nodded: "It is true that there will be certain dangers. However, no matter how dangerous it is, it is much safer than the North Atlantic route."

"But the Arctic Ocean route can only be opened in summer. After all, it is only a few months." Molotov said with a frown.

"If you hurry up and prepare a large number of merchant ships in advance, a few months will be enough to transport a large amount of war supplies to Bu Russia. Coupled with the Siberia Railway, it will be enough for Bu Russia to persist in the war." George said Admiral Marshall.

"Indeed, this is a very safe approach. If there is no objection from the Russian side, then we can start preparations. Next summer, we will transport war materials to the Russian Federation through the Arctic Ocean route." Minister Woodling said.

Molotov thought for a while, but still nodded. On this security, Buer has no right to refuse at all. Anyway, it's better than nothing.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, the Russian government has one more request, and I hope the U.S. government can agree to it!" Molotov said solemnly.

Secretary of State Hull knows that the real drama is coming.

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"Before, the U.S. government promised to start a war with Germany within two years after the outbreak of the war and open up a second front. However, the military power shown by Germany in the war is really too strong. We found that we seriously overestimated ourselves before, Underestimated the Germans. If we fight against the Germans alone, it may be difficult for us to persist for two years. Therefore, we hope that the United States can join the war as soon as possible." Molotov said.

Let the United States join the war as soon as possible, this is the result of high-level discussions between Burundi and Russia. Although, they don't think that under the onslaught of Germany, Bu Russia will not be able to persist for two years. But they believe that if they really fight against Germany alone for two years, Bu Russia will lose most of its strength under the German attack. At that time, their country will almost perish. In the post-war world, they will not be able to share any benefits due to the great loss of strength.

"Your Excellency, we know that Russia is under a lot of pressure now. However, we are not ready to participate in the war. If we join the war rashly, not only will we not be able to defeat Germany, but we will also lose our participation in the war. If If we lose too much strength, we may never be able to defeat the Germans again!" Hull said.

Although the U.S. government has decided to join the war in advance, they will not easily agree in front of the Russians.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, if Bu Russia is defeated by the Germans, then the Germans will dominate the entire Europe! This is certainly a disaster for Bu Russia. However, it is definitely not a good thing for the United States. To At that time, the United States was definitely not Germany's opponent." Molotov said.

Hull nodded, and it is precisely for this reason that the United States will not watch Bu Russia be defeated. They had to join the war before Bu Russia was defeated, or before Bu Russia really suffered heavy losses.

"Your Excellency, I will report this to Your Excellency the President. I can assure you that we will definitely go to war with Germany before the first half of 1941!" Hull said.

Molotov breathed a sigh of relief, even if it was a few months in advance, it would save Buer a little loss!

"Your Excellency, we can understand the enormous pressure your country is under. Therefore, we are already doing our best to help your country. We will persuade the island countries to launch an attack on the German Pacific colonies next spring. The strength of the island nation is enough to pose a huge threat to Germany. At that time, they will definitely send more troops to Southeast Asia and Australia. This can greatly reduce the pressure on Bu Russia and enable you to persist in the war. Much longer!" Secretary of State Hull continued.

Molotov couldn't help but shine in front of his eyes. If the island country can make a move next spring, it will undoubtedly be good news for Bu Russia. The military strength of the island country is not weak. If they launch an attack, Germany will have to deal with it carefully.

"This is really great! In this way, we will be able to withstand the German attack!" Molotov's face was full of smiles.
