Chapter 2150: Double anchor policy two
"In terms of politics and the international situation alone, how much do we need to pay for the British to surrender? Let alone the conflict that broke out between us and Germany, we must first plug the holes for the British to pay compensation for defeat. , Britain can launch their war machine to serve us! How much does it cost? Hundreds of millions of dollars? Or billions of dollars? Give one-third of this money to the Germans and they can help us fix the Japanese fleet. ! Buying things depends on the price/performance ratio, right?"
"Moreover, one thing I need to make is that if Germany uses this as an excuse to refuse to fulfill its previous obligations and turn to help Japan, what shall we do? Or what retaliatory action can we take?" General Pershing said in the last words middle!
This is the art of speaking. Don’t you talk about politics and strategy? Well, I will now give you a political question. If Germany turns from a friend to an enemy, do you seniors have a plan to deal with it? what? You said you want revenge? Please, the war is over, what can you do with Germany? The Germans are short of money, and they are provided by the compensation for the defeat of the Allies. If they really fall out with the Japanese, the Japanese military orders can also provide a considerable part of the funds. The United States can't fight Germany, right?
Actually, at this point, the advantages and disadvantages of the United States and Germany have been reversed. Now it is the Americans who are asking Germany to do things, and you still think about provoking Germany all day long? What do you think? Have a brain?
"General Pershing's statement is very reasonable. Our military plan is based on cooperation between the United States and Germany. If it is unrealistic to change and it is too time-consuming, we will give the enemy more time to prepare. We can do it with the British. For business, it is fine to provide a certain limit of loans, but the United States will not easily support the post-war Britain." Seeing Taft who was hesitant to speak, Roosevelt made a final decision.
Actually, Roosevelt already had a general plan in his mind. He was wary of Germany, but he was not reckless. After all, he had seen the horror of the Bavarian Crown Prince! A simple warship sale put Britain, the United States, Japan and Russia in the palm of their hands! It can even be said that it has established the world pattern for the next ten years! With this method, Roosevelt was really unwilling to fall out with the Germans. Not to mention the black information in the hands of the prince, but to simply talk about confrontation, Roosevelt did not have enough confidence to say that he could win the opponent!
However, the opinions of some domestic political stars are reasonable, but the methods are too immature, let alone dealing with Ruprecht, even Roosevelt can play them in the palm of his hand! For example, just now! As Vice President Taft and as Secretary of State Robert Lansing’s political status in the United States is quite high, even if Roosevelt himself wants to confront them, it is very difficult.
Especially in this kind of national strategy, if the president, the vice president, and the secretary of state have disagreements, it will be very troublesome. If the parliament is raised again, disputes and turmoil may occur. Let alone the final result, the prestige and prestige of Roosevelt Work efficiency will be a major blow in the future! So, Roosevelt thought of a way to get others to veto their proposal! And these people must play an irreplaceable role in the future of the United States, and they must have enough reason. The bosses of the Navy and the Army meet this requirement!
In wartime, the political status of soldiers will be very high. It’s not good to say that Taft and Robert may step down directly in the next election, but in wartime, unless they fought an intolerable defeat, no matter what Whether it is Pershing or Benson, their status will not be shaken! And if the war is over, they will have a halo called war heroes, and it is all right to go directly to politics! This is not uncommon in American history. Therefore, at this meeting, Roosevelt called these two people in order to completely suppress Taft and Robert's idea of wooing the British.
Although Pershing and Benson discuss this issue more from a military perspective, this is what Taft and others cannot refute, because you don’t understand military affairs, let alone solve the problem raised by Pershing. If you can’t solve even the most basic military issues in wartime, then it means that everything will not pass. After all, there are not many military generals who seem to be the case because the United States has actual combat experience. This is a scarce resource. ! Much more expensive than politician money! It's useless for you to make trouble in Congress. After all, members of Congress don't understand military affairs!
So, Roosevelt used a very small means to reject the two people's opinions, and the two can't blame Roosevelt! Looking at the two people like frost hitting a persimmon, Roosevelt was even a little sad. He wanted to fight Ruprecht at this level? Rest as soon as possible, the American generation really lacks true politicians, and there are not many people at the same level as yourself!
Roosevelt is strategically strong, his strength is not only that he can find problems~www.wuxiaspot.com~ More importantly, he can solve problems! He knew that it was not realistic to join forces with the British at this time, but they could come up with a remedy! Before, the infighting between Taft and the military was actually for the next plan!
"It is unrealistic for us to join forces with the British, and it is unrealistic for us to cooperate with the French, because he has no will or ability to help us militarily. But we have one ally to consider, and that is the Russians! In the future, it is not only us and Germany that will have military conflicts with Japan, but Russia will continue to fight the Japanese for the territories of the Far East!" Roosevelt said.
"The Russians? They don't even have a decent central government now! What role does a country with backward industry and civil war do for us?" Taft said.
"At least, the Russians can contain more than 200,000 Japanese troops in the Far East!" Roosevelt said with a smile. "From the current point of view, the Japanese army in the Russian Far East is no less than in the Pacific. For this point, I think Russia is worth supporting, isn't it? No matter who eventually takes over the Russian power, they will help us in the Far East. Fight, because there is their last reliable outlet-Vladivostok!"
"So support Russia, don't we have to worry about Germany's opposition?" Robert Lanhin said, he is the secretary of state, and now, his power seems to have been completely taken away by the president. This made him feel very upset. Of course, this is only one reason, on the other hand, he wanted to know how Roosevelt dealt with German affairs.
