Chapter 2809: 1 o'clock and 1 o'clock

"Today, I am honored to tell all the citizens of the United States of America that just a month ago, the main navy force of the United States of America struck Japan like a sharp sword over a distance of thousands of kilometers, the cancer of the world. The heart of the world! In this military operation codenamed Storm, the United States Navy destroyed the Tarakan oil field in the northeastern part of Kalimantan and nearby oil refineries! And in the process of returning home, it severely damaged the Japanese combined fleet, we Destroyed 5 Japanese battleships, more than 50 destroyers, and sunk and injured 4 aircraft carriers! At the same time, hundreds of Japanese planes were buried with their dirty warships! Now, I can gloriously tell everyone, The Pacific War has made decisive progress! We have also severely damaged the Japanese economic foundation and military strength."

"I hope that as everyone celebrates our victory, don’t forget to leave some strength, because, maybe in a few days, more exciting news will come from the front! From this moment on, the United States He has proven his strength with practical actions! Even if the enemy is tens of thousands of kilometers away from us, we can still defeat him!" Soon after the old Roosevelt returned to Washington, almost all newspapers published this book for all Americans. Feeling proud of the article. In the eyes of a large number of people, this is undoubtedly a very significant success, opening a new era in the United States!

They were right. This offensive was indeed a victory. Americans have reasons to celebrate. But for Roosevelt and the United States, their celebration was a bit early, and some exaggerated achievements could not conceal the fact that the main force of the Japanese combined fleet still existed. The Americans won time and gained a strategic advantage, but it does not mean they won war.

But even when senior navy officials including Sims thought this article was too optimistic, Roosevelt and his government could not wait to turn some of their attention from the battlefield to other directions! With regard to the situation in Africa and Europe, Americans do not have this idea or power. But for other things that can block their potential enemies, the Americans are willing to do, and the Bald Eagle's eyes once again fell on Turkey, the German ally, and the sick man in Europe and West Asia!

"Taft, you once asked me when we can defeat Germany and truly become the hegemon of this world. I told you at the time that this is not something our generation can do. And now, I am still right. This matter holds this point of view. But today, I can tell you that the United States of America can finally have a game and contest with Germany in all aspects. The last yoke of the United States is about to be opened, once we can fix Japan in the Pacific. , Then we can gradually spend all our energy on dealing with the Allies." Old Roosevelt said.

"It is better to crush a country like Turkey. He is too close to Germany and Austria. It is impossible to resist the control of Germany and Austria. In the past few decades, Turkey's politics, economy and military have been bound by Germany and Austria. Even if a new government is changed, they will choose the former between the Germans and us! Therefore, for this kind of country, it is better to blow them to pieces! Turn them into small countries, or let them be in the territory and the nation. The dispute with resources continues to be consumed and becomes a wound that will bleed forever," Taft said.

"I have this opinion too, so we plan to increase our support for Hanzhi, Neishi and other countries. We can even cooperate with the British on this issue. They must be very willing to see the collapse of Turkey?" Old Roosevelt Said.

"Are the British? They still dare to do something against the Germans? And they are our enemies! Half of our casualties are caused by the British!" Taft said angrily.

"The British dare not get too involved with the Turkish issue, but they have experience and connections. Don’t forget that during the war, the chaos in the Arabian Peninsula and Mesopotamia was the shadow of the British. We even used It is enough for the British involved in this matter to provide some information and help. As for establishing in-depth contact with the British government, I will not do this. If there is a chance, we will let the British help them in the Pacific War. Pay the price for what they did! Then they will make the right choice!" Old Roosevelt explained.

"I think it is unrealistic to rely solely on the Arabs to destroy the Ottoman Empire. It is an empire after all. Although it is very weak, it cannot be killed by ants. So I think if you want it to collapse faster , We need problems within the empire, such as civil unrest or rebellion.” Taft said.

"We have been doing this. We finally chose Zemal Pasha and Letapasha. They are very dissatisfied with the current Turkish Sultan. They think it is the Sudan's great success and dictatorship that caused the Turkish Empire to fall into the current predicament, so , They want to learn from their predecessors, abolish the old sultan, and put on a new puppet." Old Roosevelt said.

"These two guys and Sudan are just the same thing. They are both representatives of the conservative forces in Turkey, and their ability is also limited. Our support for them is just a skin for Turkey. There is no essential change for this country~www .wuxiaspot.com~ They are still practising Great Turkism, feudal centralized rule, and still backward and ignorant. What is the significance of such a change?"

"If possible, I think it is a good choice to support Kemal. In Berlin, I met him once. He is open-minded and foresight, with sufficient political skills and personality charm. He has his own judgment on the situation. And he is not compliant with Germany. He is the most suitable candidate for Turkey in the future. He once told me privately that constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system are the way out for Turkey in the future. This concept is incompatible with the monarchy of Germany and Austria. In the future, he is more likely to become our ally." Taft said.

"My friend, you seem to have overlooked our fundamental goal. Our goal is to make the Turkish Empire collapse, not to build a new, potential ally. Kemal's personal ability is impeccable. He is the best in Turkey. A good choice, but also because of his ability, we cannot choose him, because only a group of mediocre people will tear Turkey apart, and a good person can unite most of Turkey’s power, which is important for our future strategy It's not a good thing." Old Roosevelt said.
