Chapter 46 A long-cherished wish was fulfilled
Wesley stood on the podium in the congressional hall and directly began to settle the score, "Over the years, we have made outstanding achievements in developing the market in China, especially in times of economic crisis, we have sold a lot of goods in China, because our friendly attitude has been recognized by the other party, and we have made a lot of money by squeezing out the goods of other countries to the greatest extent." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"But now the day. Ben started a war, they directly destroyed our market, plundered our wealth, and then took a part of it to buy things from us, it seems that we are not at a loss, but in reality? We're losing a lot, and they're not only ruining the good image we've built, they're destroying our market, and they're buying scrap steel and oil, gentlemen, we're losing money. ”
Wesley's words got the lawmakers talking, and they felt like they were losing money, and they were getting only a fraction of what they had lost to the market.
"And you should pay attention, as I said at the beginning, day. They would have hit the British, and then they would have come and hit us, why? Because of the problem of war resources, if they occupy China and get the resources and manpower of China, then they will no longer be a small country, and they will seek more things, such as the Philippines. ”
"There is rubber and oil there, these are things that China does not have, and it is a huge strategic resource, and at the same time, it is possible to open up contact with Germany, and then it will be a disaster. If they want the Philippines, what do they do first? The first target is our Pacific Fleet, and the second target is our two major archipelago bases in the Pacific, whose navy is stronger than their army. ”
"Gentlemen, what I said, I think you all understand, first of all we need to put the day. Ben killed, directly defeated them, and then did business with Europe, this is the safest way, no worries, save our huge market, you must know that at this time other countries will not have goods into China, because they themselves are not enough. ”
"I'm done, I think you should know how to choose." Wesley left the podium and returned to his seat. R. Stark asked in a whisper next to him.
"Are they really going to attack the Pacific Fleet?"
"Of course, once they can't find a way out, they will take risks, such as the Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, when their domestic economy was on the verge of danger several times, and the psychology of gamblers is undoubtedly manifested."
"Well, that's true, it looks like I'm going to step up the security of the Pacific Fleet."
Roosevelt came to the podium again and said, "Gentlemen, Wesley. Admiral Gibson taught us another lesson, and now I need to know what everyone is choosing. ”
"Fight, beat those little guys." One of the councillors roared, followed by someone who followed and the atmosphere was lively, and they called it 'freedom'.
A conference directly approved the proposal for war, after which Roosevelt ordered the army to begin preparations, and then the United States sent a diplomatic note to stop commercial relations with Japan and resist their invasion of China. This incident made Huaxia once again recognize the friendship of the United States. Ben was panicking at first.
The commander-in-chief of the three armies in this battle was Wesley, who was now the oldest general, after all, he was a general after the First World War, and he was not at all comparable to Marshall.
Wesley's age has matured, and everyone still remembers his infantry 'blitzkrieg', and now most of the equipment of the army, navy and air force is designed and arranged by him, and no one is more suitable than him.
For a time the world boiled, and the United States cut off peace with Japan. Ben's trade makes the day all at once. There is a problem with Ben's strategic reserves, their reserves are limited, if they can't buy them, they can only use the reserves, but the resources needed for a warship to start a flight are massive, how long can they hold on?
Day. Ben was in a dilemma, and then whether he went south or north directly caused controversy in advance, and the Battle of Nomenkan was launched directly, and the two sides fought quietly, but this kind of thing could not be hidden, and the countries of the world soon knew. And the day. Ben also understood that they could not defeat the Soviet Union, especially on land, and if they couldn't go by land, they could only go by sea.
Wesley is rearmament, the latest eight aircraft carriers are all heavy aircraft carriers of more than 60,000 tons, the latest design of the diagonal deck, which allows fighters to take off and land at the same time, plus the original two medium-sized aircraft carriers, a total of ten aircraft carriers are concentrated. And the Atlantic Fleet is not strengthened for the time being.
The rest were four 36,000-ton treaty-type battleships, four battleships of the first class of the First World War, sixteen heavy cruisers, and hundreds of light cruisers and destroyers, which were the main force of the entire Pacific Fleet.
Preparations for the First World War are naturally not achieved overnight, and it takes time to prepare, so that there will be no suddenness of war, after all, the United States is not a Japanese war. Ben, has not been preparing for war.
Hitler expressed concern about the actions of the United States, and he was afraid that the United States would join as it did during World War I, and Germany would not be able to defeat the United States, after all, the United States surpassed Germany in terms of economy, resources and technology.
And the day. Ben was even more anxious, after all, the United States was obviously coming for them, and the build-up of the Pacific Fleet was a cover-up. Personally, their spies are all over Hawaii.
Chain reaction, butterfly wings began to flapped here, Wesley's first large-scale flapping of his wings, more powerful than during the First World War, resulting in a large number of variables, Wesley sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, unhurriedly prepared.
First of all, the Pacific Fleet began to be divided, and the First Task Force, with four heavy aircraft carriers as the main force, plus four treaty-type battleships and eight heavy cruisers, was established and sailed directly to the military base in Guam. A medium aircraft carrier, a heavy aircraft carrier, plus two battleships from the First World War, made it the second task force. The same configuration forms Task Force 3, while the remaining two heavy aircraft carriers form Task Force 4.
The second, third, and fourth task forces directly blocked the Pacific shipping routes, while the submarine forces were dispersed, and huge cigar-type ocean-going submarines were scattered across the Pacific Ocean, blocking all shipping lanes, and at the same time diving into the Japanese . Scouting in the vicinity.
The atmosphere of the war is getting stronger and stronger, and the delegation formed by the US government went to China to prepare to communicate with China, and this battle still needs China's participation and at the same time deepen the exchanges between the two countries.
