Chapter 432 The Magic Weapon of Dragging Characters

"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 defeated, it will become extremely strong in 20 years. This is how Germany is now, and a strong Germany is not suitable for us. Interests."

Marshall looked at it from a military point of view. The chaos in Europe was good for the New World. Only when the old capitalist countries fell, the United States could rise.

Germany must be stronger, not too weak, but now, the situation is slipping to the brink of out of control, Germany is too strong, and now it has a trend of sweeping Europe, which cannot help worrying him.

"From a military point of view, it is in our best interest to support Britain and let Britain and Germany consume each other in the war," Marshall said.

The current Marshall, only from a military point of view, can lend some warships to Britain.

However, when it comes to Roosevelt, it cannot be analyzed only from a military point of view.

"If we lend the British warships, we will annoy the giants in the country, as well as many Germans." Hull thought more carefully. In Congress today, he has already seen clearly that many big families are I hope to continue to cooperate with Germany, which is also the trend of the United States at this stage.

"Also, our Neutrality Act also binds us."

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

Washington issued a "Farewell Address," which included a paragraph after the presidency expired.

"To build America into a great, free and progressive nation, it is most important to get rid of permanent and deep-rooted aversions to some individual nations and emotional attachments to others; never to establish permanent alliances with any foreign country. "The United States is alone and far from other countries, and this geographic location allows and enables the United States to pursue a unique diplomatic line, so that belligerent countries cannot benefit from the United States and dare not easily risk provocation against the United States."

The United States should stay out of the way and look at Europe coldly.

Throughout the 1930s, isolationism in the United States has been on the rise, and for some of its own politics, mainly its strategy towards Latin America, the United States proposed the Neutrality Act, which was created by Roosevelt.

Between two or more foreign countries, the President shall declare a war, or a war is in progress, and then any export of arms, munitions, or war preparations from any part of the United States or any part of its possessions It is illegal to ship to that belligerent, or to any neutral port used by any belligerent.

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

In recent years, Britain's economic strength has declined sharply. They can't build new warships themselves, and 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, so they can only borrow them.

A cigar had been smoked by Roosevelt. He poked the cigar in the ashtray and put it out, regaining his wise image: "It seems that we can't help Britain for the time being."

Roosevelt now, of course, the most important thing is to build momentum for his next election. He can't let his election fail because of Britain, and only if he succeeds in the election can he continue to help Britain!

"That would allow Germany to take the opportunity to grow." Marshall said involuntarily.

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

"At the same time, we cannot help directly now, but we will not hinder any of our troops who pass by voluntarily," Roosevelt continued.

What Roosevelt meant, it was obvious that in the navy, warships would definitely not be willing to do so. It cannot be operated by one person. In the Army Air Force, if anyone wants to, they can go there. If they can start a fighter plane, even with a When the fighters go back, they can also default.

Anyway, the UK 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 land in the UK across the sea, and the UK has no risk of subjugation.

After the two sides fight again and consume a bit, Roosevelt also ran for the next president, and it will be fine to support Britain on a large scale at that time.

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

At this time, Roosevelt had not fully paid attention to it. After all, after the Germans had bombed the British navy, they had not moved. On the contrary, the British started bombing quite arrogantly, and they were continuously increasing their troops to France.

At this time, Roosevelt had not yet imagined how fast the Germans would move.

Let go of things in the Old World first, running for president yourself is the most important thing, those Germans, those big capitalists, don’t offend them!

It was not that Roosevelt made a mistake in his judgment, but that the fighting power of the Germans was too great. During World War I, the two sides fought in France for so long, but in World War II, France soon perished.

Now, in the United States, even the current Marshall would never have imagined that France would fall quickly, and it would not be too late for the United States to join the war when the war between France and Germany reached its final stage.

The United States has fallen behind seriously in this regard, and they don't even know that Germany has already begun to deploy globally.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

In the United States, there are big cities like New York and Manhattan, as well as large tracts of tranquil and vast fields, where the cowboys live a leisurely rural life.

Oak Ridge is a quiet and peaceful area.

Oak Ridge takes its name from the Black Oak Ridge Valley, which is 16 kilometers long and 3.2 kilometers wide.

Therefore, when old James, who lived in his small building, came out of the courtyard this morning, he saw that his neighbor, the house that had been empty for two years, made a noise today, he was very surprised. , walking towards the neighbors.

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

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