Chapter 589: New partner one

"No, it is definitely not the case. The military power of both the British and the Russians is not as sloppy as the propaganda you have seen. In fact, from the situation they are facing, few people in this world can They are doing better than them." With the sound of the door being pushed open, a strong general imprinted in everyone's eyes. The visitor was no one else, but General Pershing who had just returned from South Africa.

   "Well, let's listen to the analysis of professionals." Roosevelt said.

"Whether it is South Africa or the Far East, the British and Russians are fighting in areas far away from the core area of ​​the mainland. The difference is that the British need to fight against the Boers with powerful mobile forces in an area of ​​more than 2 million square kilometers. The Russians are fighting a positional war with a powerful Far Eastern power."

"Let’s talk about the British first. Although from the perspective of external propaganda, the British lost terribly. The entire division and the entire regiment were eaten by the Boers. As a witness, I can tell you clearly that this kind of thing Yes, but it mainly happened in the early stage. When the British troops continued to increase, this kind of thing never happened again. We drew the most elite part of the US Army to participate in this war, but I can only tell you , Our exchange ratio does not have any advantage. If we erase the bonuses brought by equipment and guerrilla warfare, the gap between us and the British Army is no different from that during the War of Independence." Pershing said solemnly.

  Did the Americans win the War of Independence? Obviously not. Without the maritime blockade of the French-Dutch fleet, without the French's hundreds of millions of francs' investment, and without the French and Dutch forces comparable to the number of American troops in the later period, how can the North American turtles in the 13 states beat the British Empire in a hundred battles? division? In addition, in the final victory of Yorktown, the French fleet was off the coast. There were more French and Dutch troops than the Americans. This is the point. The Americans are embarrassed to say that this is the victory of the Americans themselves. ? Everyone here is very clear about the virtues of the US military during the American Revolutionary War in history.

  If others dared to say this in public, out of American self-esteem, Root would definitely have to refute and even reprimand the other party, but now... Everyone is sensible, no need to say anything.

"As for the Russians? Their tactics are dull and the soldiers are insensitive. There is indeed a big gap compared with the Japanese, but I need everyone to face up to it, that is, Japan is now a powerful country, at least in the military! Maybe their economy and industry are nothing to the United States, but military has allowed them to monopolize East Asia! Our navy is an example, and I don't think our army will be better than the Japanese army." Pershing said.

Pershing’s meaning is very clear. Don’t believe what the media say, and don’t think that others have stumbled. You are very strong. In fact, the Boer Army was trained almost in accordance with the German standards. Pershing believes that such an army is world-class in terms of quality, so it is not appropriate to call the Boers a militia. In his letter to Roosevelt, he once described the fighting between a world-class army and a world-class army on both sides of the Boer War. To a certain extent, the British were actually fighting the Germans!

  As for the Russian army? The Americans themselves and the Japanese were beaten up to find the North. What face do you have to mock the Russians? To be honest, the situation of the Russians is much worse than that of the Americans. If the battle of the Philippines was an encounter, then this time, when the war started, the Russian fleet was already in the encirclement of the Japanese fleet...

   is different from the Germans who regard themselves too high and the other side too weak. The Americans are still afraid that Germany is not strong enough this time. What do the Americans say? They have always overestimated their opponents, especially for countries that have defeated themselves. Even in the second war in history, at the beginning of the Pacific War, the description of the Japanese in the manual sent to the soldiers by the Americans was simply superhuman!

  After the U.S. military personnel expressed their views, the wind direction of the entire meeting immediately changed, becoming what if the Allies and the Allies fought and the Allies came up and lost... Germany and Austria-Hungary are relatively few and firm allies of the United States. No matter how strong the United States is, it is industrial and economic. Now military? Well, even in the early days of World War II, the U.S. Army was dubbed "The Italian on our side" by the British.

"We need to give the Germans some support so that the war will last longer and the British and French will lose more. For example, we can give them loans and then let them buy products and materials from the United States. To expand Their army. But one thing that needs to be determined now is how likely is it that Germany will be at war with Britain, France and Russia in the future ~www.wuxiaspot.com~?" Roosevelt asked.

  War has never been a joke. Even before the war, the Kaiser was hesitant to fight on the two fronts and the British. However, the situation between the two sides is far from developing to the extent that they may be at war at any time. Even Roosevelt did not think that Germany would easily go to war with the Allies.

   "Then everyone thinks, how much assistance do we need to give Germany so that Germany can have the confidence to go to war with the British?" Roosevelt asked after a while, maybe someone said, shouldn't this kind of thing be asked to economists? However, the reality is that economists do not know how much it will cost to prepare for combat... Therefore, it is better to ask military professionals.

  "The British spent 350 million pounds in the Boer War. The Japanese raised more than 200 million pounds in war expenses through various channels." Pershing thought for a while and said.

"It seems that if we want to sustain Germany for a long time, we need a lot of investment. So that's good. Starting next year, how about we provide Germany with a low-interest long-term mortgage loan of $100 million every year?" Roosevelt said .
