Chapter 2267： American Plan 2

"If it is purely on the matter, it is indeed very beneficial for us to have an Australian base." Benson said very frankly. As for the base on the island of Guinea? Not to mention this, just take the British military power in the Pacific Ocean. Once the British changes, the Japanese can clear the British power on the island of Guinea in a few days. As for Australia, it is because of the distance and area that Japan will be It's hard to start.

"I also considered this issue when I was in Europe. And during a dinner with Crown Prince Ruprecht, we also exchanged related matters." General Benson finished looking at Roosevelt, who was stunned. Waiting for someone, he couldn't figure it out, what's the surprise? You politicians can think of things. Isn’t it normal for us as soldiers to think of these things?

"What then? What did the Bavarian crown prince say?" Secretary of State Lan Xin said nervously. Although Benson said these things were a bit unexpected, but what made him most disturbed was the political issues behind this incident. , Germans will definitely be wary of this profound proposal, and may even have some extreme reactions!

"The crown prince said that if he were the commander of the Japanese navy, he would consider launching an attack on the ports where the U.S. Navy is stationed. Although Australia does not lack good ports, there is no qualified military port, and the port cannot accommodate the entire U.S. fleet. And there are no related defense facilities, no gun turrets, no airfields and ground equipment, and insufficient machinery and electricity. These civilian ports are undefended against the Japanese fleet!" General Benson paused and continued: "He said Unless the U.S. government is willing to delay three years before launching the Pacific War, and at the same time bet that the Japanese navy will not preemptively fight undeclared war. Otherwise, using Australian ports is not a good choice."

"Then the actual situation is like this? If Australia is not used, then our original attack line can ensure that the fleet has a stable base?" Roosevelt asked.

"That's it. Hawaii is the support point of our naval strategy. It supports the entire front like the skeleton of an umbrella. Then the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands are the umbrella parts of this umbrella, as the face of the Japanese navy. We have made full preparations for the first line of defense and the forward base of our army. We have made arrangements for naval anchorages, various equipment and material reserves, and air force bases. We have also deployed shore artillery and anti-submarine networks in some key locations. Facilities." Benson said sternly.

After all, the US Navy’s previous strategy was to fight south from Pearl Harbor, and because of the hostile relationship between the United States and Britain, the US military did not consider the use of Australian bases at the beginning, and now the war is coming. If the base built on the north side is not used, the south will be used instead. Australia's port, then a little bit closer and farther away, the reason is to seek fish. After all, apart from the geographical location in the south, neither the facilities nor the preparations are as good as the north! Therefore, even from a military perspective, the ports borrowed by the British may not be easy to use.

"His Royal Highness Ruprecht later said that Germany has withdrawn its military presence from the Far East as agreed, but it does not mean that it is indifferent to the interests of the Far East. The United States and Germany are alliances, and Germany is obliged to honor its previous commitment to the United States. Promise, but at the same time, the United States must also guarantee Germany's interests in the Far East. If the United States and its enemies have too close exchanges, especially military exchanges, then Germany will have to reconsider its relations with the United States." When people breathed a sigh of relief, General Benson's words made Roosevelt and his party's heart lifted in their throats again!

"Grass the grass! What's the situation? What does it mean to reconsider the relationship between virtue and Germany?" Roosevelt shook his heart. There was a lot of meaning in this sentence. It seems that the Germans are very sensitive to the proximity between the United States and Britain.

As for what will happen if the United States and Britain approach? It can’t be seen from this sentence. Maybe the Germans just threatened it, or maybe they ended up fighting with the Americans. Of course, there is one of the most terrible results, that is, when the Americans and the British reach an agreement, Germany and Japan may also compromise... And if this results, then the US Pacific strategy will really fail. In the Far East, the United States and Britain will definitely be unable to defeat Germany and Japan! Of course, this is also a zero-sum game, because Germany has lost the opportunity to obtain financial support from the United States to heal trauma, which is very uneconomical for Germany.

"I think the German crown prince's reaction was a bit overwhelming, isn't it? We are friends with the Germans, but it does not mean that we cannot improve relations with other countries. Especially now, we have a common goal, all to deal with the Japanese. , This major premise is enough to cover up other contradictions." Secretary of State Lan Xin showed a helpless expression on his face. It seems that they don't understand the actions of the Germans.

"This is how Crown Prince Ruprecht explained the German Empire’s strategy in the Far East He said that Germany has no privilege or territorial requirements in the Far East. He just wants countries to respect the economic interests of the German Empire. Within the sphere of influence of various countries, the property security and equal business rights of the German Empire can be guaranteed. The reason why Germany cooperates with the United States is because the United States has serious conflicts with Britain and Japan. The Japanese are greedy and despicable, so they are not credible. The British are the destined enemies of Germany, so there can be cooperation between the virtues and Germany. If this cornerstone changes, then Germany will definitely lose a lot, but the United States will definitely lose more!" Benson put Ruprecht at last The words were passed to Roosevelt and others.

"We have finished the report, and it seems that the following things are not suitable for us to know. If there are nothing else, should General Sims and I say goodbye?" Benson said.

"You two, please." Roosevelt nodded and said.

"Damn, the Germans started to threaten the United States as soon as the war was over! They forgot where the Germans' food, minerals, accessories and loans came from in this war! Why did they dictate the diplomatic strategy of the United States? "Just after the two U.S. Navy generals left the venue, Taft couldn't help complaining loudly.

Taft’s words are full of dissatisfaction with Germany. He even thinks that sooner or later after the British fall, the Germans will become the second enemy of the Americans. So the words did not hide their hostility!
