Chapter 772： Destroyer for military base plan

Recently, Roosevelt has too many things to be busy. Once the United States provides large-scale military assistance to Britain, how will Germany react? Now, after all, many companies in the United States are doing business with Germany and are profitable.

As president, Roosevelt had to consider everything. In the worst case scenario, once the Germans go crazy and really declare war on the United States, how should the United States respond to large-scale attacks on the United States' maritime transportation lines?

The army must be prepared, the United States must transition to the wartime system, and so on. This means that there are a lot of things to be busy.

Therefore, Roosevelt's brain was running at a high speed, and he didn't even think of it.

Hamer's proposal is in line with Roosevelt's mind.

The United States’ industrial capabilities are unmatched by other countries. Even if Germany integrates European industries, it cannot be equal to the United States. At the end of the war, the overall national power was still fighting, and Roosevelt was confident of winning.

The war is imminent. In order to fight this battle well, the United States needs to have global military bases so that it can facilitate the movement and supply of the United States.

At the same time, after the war, the United States also needed global military bases, because at that time the United States would inevitably replace Britain’s current status, and global order could not be maintained without overseas military bases.

Now, of course, it is most convenient to rent from the United Kingdom. After all, the United Kingdom has the title of an empire that never sets, and British military bases are all over the world!

Each of these areas proposed by Hamer made Roosevelt's heart.

"Go on." Roosevelt was excited, he was already listening to Hamer's maturity wholeheartedly.

"First, give Britain the same treatment as Italy, so as to reduce Britain's debt by half." Hammer was also quite excited at this time. He knew that Roosevelt would not reject his plan.

"If several islands are leased for 99 years at a unit price of US$25 million each, the British debt will be paid off, and the excess money can also be used to purchase American weapons, such as the 50 destroyers that are about to be retired," Hammer said. : "These islands are maintained by our personnel, and we can easily pass through these islands to sell our goods to nearby British colonies."

"Hammer, your plan is very good, I need you to make a detailed plan." Roosevelt said: "Hurry!"

"The plan is here." Hammer took out the documents from his briefcase. He had already written down the specific plan. Without sufficient preparation, how could he come to see the president?

Roosevelt took it and saw that "Destroyer for Military Base Plan" was written on the front page of the plan.

"Well, this plan of yours, I will give it to the military to discuss, but Hammer, you also need to work harder, it is not easy to convince Congress." Roosevelt said.

The United States is not left to Roosevelt alone. Congress passes it. Roosevelt meant to let Hamer operate and persuade all members of Congress.

"Okay, I will." Hammer said.

When he came out of the White House, Hammer's heart was full of excitement. As an inverted master, he had stolen a lot of things, but it was the first time to vacate national territory and military machinery!

He will become the United States, and the world's biggest bad guy!

Even more excited was Roosevelt. Before that, he had only set his sights on Canada, but now, global hegemony has already appeared before his eyes.

The rise of the United States is now!

For the United States, it is necessary to support the United Kingdom, but in the support, the benefits must be maximized, just like now!

While the US Congress was still preparing a resolution for the Lending Act, Roosevelt could not wait to order a large amount of supplies to be sent to the United Kingdom. Now, the Germans are attacking London, and the United Kingdom is running out of time.

It's a pity that if you want to transport a large number of materials to the UK, only cargo ships will do. Although there is an Atlantic airliner, how much can this airliner transport at a time?

The cargo ship flying the American flag sailed on the Atlantic Ocean, sailing at full power regardless of cost, and sailing at the highest speed. At the same time, on the British mainland, the German army had moved to the outskirts of London.

Under the conspiracy of the United Kingdom and the United States, the Berlin side only made a brief voice. The bombing incident in New York had nothing to do with Germany. After that, there was no more information.

All conspiracies and tricks must be broken in the face of facts. For Germany, as long as the British mainland is occupied, the Americans will yell as they like there. Without the United Kingdom as a springboard, the Americans cannot expedition to Europe. Safe, we can implement the strategy of Dongjin!

At the beginning, when the whole of Europe was horizontally and horizontally, the German armored forces were invincible, and they hardly fought street fighting. When the enemy was wiped out in the field, the confidence of the enemy was scared.

But in the UK, all this has changed.

In the periphery of London, in just a few days, anti-tank trenches were dug out!

Yes, it is the anti-tank ditch!

The German Panther 3 tank, galloping horizontally and horizontally, is simply the worst nightmare of any enemy With thick armor, fierce firepower, and first-class maneuverability, there is no tank in the entire European continent that can stop the German attack.

So, as the defensive side, what should we do?

The British gave the answer.

They mobilized all the citizens of London, men and women, old and young, and in just a few days, they literally dug wide trenches around London.

Each ravine is four meters wide and two meters deep!

Although the length of the Panther 3 tank is more than eight meters, it includes the length of the barrel. The actual car body is six or seven meters in length. Therefore, if they start rashly, the tank will definitely turn over. Go inside!

Moreover, what is even more frightening is that in order to enhance the performance of this anti-tank trench, the British slashed through the Thames. In this anti-tank trench, a river flows, which is simply the moat of the previous era!

The First Armored Division of the German Waffen-SS stopped just a few kilometers away from these anti-tank trenches. On the opposite side, the British squad was waiting. They took out all the anti-tank weapons, including the antique ones. Wild artillery, and the latest production of anti-tank guns, are densely arranged, waiting for the German attack.

Joseph Dietrich, standing on a Panther 3 tank, using his binoculars to look at the opposite position, as an opponent, Dietrich at this time also admired the opponent.

"Wait temporarily, wait until our main force comes up, and then make an offensive plan." Dietrich said.

His troops are the fastest to rush. After Exeter was in trouble, Dietrich has been cautious, especially now that the British capital is in front of him, which they can occupy without threats of force. The city, this hard bone must be gnawed down once! 25108
