Chapter 430： Dragging

"Marshall, what do you think we should do?" Roosevelt asked his staff.

"Now, Germany is too strong. History has proved that as long as a country is not completely destroyed, it will become extremely strong in twenty years. Germany is like this now, and a strong Germany does not suit us. Interests."

Marshall viewed it from a military point of view. Europe is in chaos, which is good for the New World. Only when the old capitalist countries decline can the United States rise.

Germany must be stronger, not too weak, but now, the situation is slipping to the edge of losing control. Germany is too strong, and now it has a tendency to sweep Europe. This has to worry him.

"From a military point of view, we should support Britain and allow Britain and Germany to consume each other in the war, which is best for us." Marshall said.

The current Marshall only analyzes it from a military perspective. It is all right to lend some British warships.

However, if you put Roosevelt here, you can't just analyze it from a military perspective.

"If we lend the British ships, we will annoy the domestic giants, as well as many Germans." Hull considered more thoroughly. Today in Parliament, he has already seen clearly that many big families are Hope to continue to cooperate with Germany, this is also the current trend of the United States.

"Moreover, our neutrality bill also restrains us."

The current trend in the United States is isolationism. In fact, this trend of thought first started in Washington.

After the expiration of the presidency, Washington issued a "Farewell", which contains a paragraph.

"To build the United States into a great country of freedom and progress, the most important thing is to eliminate permanent and deep-rooted aversion to certain individual countries and emotional attachment to other countries; do not establish permanent alliances with any foreign country. The United States is alone on one side and far away from other countries. This geographic location allows and encourages the United States to pursue a unique diplomatic route, so that belligerent countries cannot benefit from the United States, nor dare to easily risk provocations against the United States."

The United States stays out of the picture and just looks at Europe coldly.

Throughout the 1930s, isolationism in the United States has been on the rise, and the United States, for some of its own politics, mainly against Latin America, proposed a neutrality bill, which was created in the hands of Roosevelt.

Between two or more foreign countries, if there is a war or a war is in progress, the President shall declare this fact, and then, all weapons, munitions, or war preparations shall be exported from any place in the United States or any place in its possessions. Shipment to the belligerent country, or to any neutral country port used by any belligerent country, is illegal.

Britain has declared war on Germany and is in a state of war. At this time, the United States cannot sell warships to Britain, let alone lend them to Britain.

Over the years, Britain’s economic strength has declined sharply. They can’t afford to build new warships themselves. Most of the ships they use are old warships from World War I. If they want to buy American warships, they can’t afford to buy them. They can only borrow them.

A cigar had been smoked by Roosevelt. He stuck the cigar in the ashtray and extinguished it, regaining his wise image: "It seems that we cannot help Britain for the time being."

Roosevelt's most important thing now is of course to build momentum for his next election. He cannot let his election fail because of the United Kingdom. Only if he succeeds in the election can he continue to help the United Kingdom!

"That will give Germany the opportunity to take a big seat." Marshall couldn't help but say.

"Britain and France are not so easy to conquer." Roosevelt said: "British and French have never failed in European wars."

"At the same time, at present, although we cannot directly provide help, if there is a voluntary way in our army, we will not stop it." Roosevelt continued.

Roosevelt’s meaning is obvious. In the Navy, warships will definitely not be voluntarily operated. It cannot be operated by one person. In the Army Air Force, if someone wants to, they can go there. If they can operate a fighter plane, even with When the fighter goes back, one can also default.

Anyway, the United Kingdom is an island country. As long as the aviation force is strong enough, it can stop the German invasion. After all, the German navy has just begun to develop and is still very weak. It is impossible to cross the sea to land in the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom has no risk of subjugation.

When the two sides fought and consumed it again, Roosevelt also ran for the next president, and it would be fine to support Britain on a large scale.

As a politician, you must have patience. No matter which country you are in, procrastination is a magic weapon when the problem cannot be solved temporarily.

At this time, Roosevelt had not fully paid attention to it. After all The Germans had not moved after bombing the British navy, but it was the British who started the bombing quite arbitrarily and continued to attack France. Surge.

At this time Roosevelt hadn't thought of how fast the Germans would go once they did it.

The things in the Old Continent should be let go first. Running for president by yourself is the most important thing. Those Germans and big capitalists should not be offended!

Roosevelt did not make a mistake in his judgment. It was just that the Germans' fighting power was too defying. During the First World War, the two sides fought in France for so long. As a result, in World War II, France soon perished.

Now, in the United States, even if it is the current Marshall, it will never be expected that France will lose quickly. When the French-German war proceeds to the later stage, it is not too late for the United States to join the war.

The United States is seriously behind in this regard, and they don't even know that Germany has already started its global presence.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

In the United States, there are large cities such as New York and Manhattan, as well as large tracts of tranquil and vast wilderness. Cowboys live a leisurely and idyllic life.

Oak Ridge is a quiet and peaceful area.

Oak Ridge is named after the Black Oak Ridge Valley, which is kilometers long and kilometers wide. It is almost isolated from the rest of the world. There are only a few hundred households in the valley, and they are all familiar with each other.

Therefore, when old James, who lived in his small building, walked out of the courtyard this morning, he was very surprised when he saw his neighbor, the house that had been vacant for two years, and there was a noise today. , Walked towards the neighbor.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor." Old James said, he saw the person opposite, with obvious German characteristics in appearance.

"I'm new, and my name is Tony." The other party said, and stretched out his hand: "In the future, we will be neighbors." (.)
