Seeing Santas talking to the camera without any scruples, Saiye on the side couldn't help but show a look of shame and resentment in his eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In fact, these views expressed by Santas can be said to be perceptive in Thayer's heart; And the reason why the limelight is now all stolen by the former is entirely because Thayer represents the US official headed by Roosevelt, and his words and deeds in front of the public must play a propaganda and guiding role. Supporting Britain and France in suppressing the Axis forces has been the basic national policy pursued by the Democratic government since 1936. If Thayer is also free to play like Santas without regard for the impact, I am afraid that he will be invited to the Democratic Party headquarters for coffee by the bigwigs behind the scenes the next day; What is certain is that he, the vice president of the U.S. Naval Academy, doesn't want to continue with the present.

Sensing that Santas's words were becoming more and more explicit, Thayer had to signal the host to let him speak in order to muddy the waters; However, in the context of the British naval defeat and the loss of all of Norway, no matter how much Thayer helped the British wash the ground, his views seemed like duckweed in water in the face of Santas's sharp words, and it was difficult to have a basis. He was indignant and silent, and he couldn't help but be angry with Roosevelt's European policy: What is so good about Britain that needs the United States to sell weapons and control public opinion?

In the world war more than 20 years ago, the United States stood up at the moment when Russia withdrew from the war and Britain and France were at the most critical juncture, and helped them drag down the German imperialists with massive resources and troops. However, after the war, Britain not only did not wholeheartedly repay the United States, but shamefully colluded with France and ruthlessly put the United States together in the post-war world order and the repayment of arrears, so that the United States almost brought its own dry food to help Britain and France work for nothing. Not to mention anything else, Britain and France relied on the United States to pay back the war expenses as high as 50 billion US dollars, and according to the purchasing power at that time, this money was enough to build 3,000 of the most powerful Colorado-class battleships!

“…… Indeed, with successive defeats in the British Navy, the route from North America to England would no longer be safe. However, we don't have to worry about running out of business in the future, because the German market has gradually opened up to the United States with the decline of the British Navy. Santas was full of energy and continued to comment at a blistering pace.

"Germany in particular lacks light industrial consumer goods. In recent years, they have devoted most of their energy to army building, and the people have always been in a state of patience in their daily lives. If American light industrial products were to be shipped to Central Europe, they would certainly create considerable national income and jobs. ”

At the same time, Germany also had a rigid need for food, fuel, machinery and industrial products, and other materials that could replenish the war force. After all, no wartime government would think it had too much steel and artillery, and American companies still have room to profit from it. Now that Norway is under German control, there are no safe barriers for merchant ships to enter and leave the North Sea along the Norwegian coastline, and American and German shipping, which has been interrupted for more than four months, can be reconnected today if American captains are willing. Santas added.

Outside the TV, Varif's heart trembled at the words. Due to the subtle propaganda influence of the White House administration in the past, Varif found himself almost blinded: Britain is not a free comrade-in-arms who is closely related to the United States and shares weal and woe, and what can really benefit him is the current European war itself.

For both sides of the war, the abundant resources at the disposal of the American capitalists are the hard currency they desperately pursue. So regardless of the victory or defeat of Britain and Germany, Variif did not have to worry about running out of business in Europe. As for the will of the White House administration, what is it, can it be eaten? The divine capitalist private property that connects every American citizen is the universal law that the devil must recognize. If anyone dares to block his free trade, then he is against the Constitution, against God, and must be destroyed in hell!

"Rockefeller, DuPont, Morgan and other consortia are probably already planning to re-cooperate with Germany......" Varif whispered to himself, and suddenly made a decision about the future. For a long time in the past, Wall Street and Hitler did not trade closely with each other, and the car magnate Henry Ford himself even received the Gold Swaskashin Medal from the National Socialist Party, which can be described as a die-hard believer in the "supremacy of capital" to the extreme. Even if Hitler will not allow them to get their hands on the control of German entities, they will not be able to stop their pursuit and thirst for wealth!

In front of the grand and solemn entrance of the White House, an elderly man is leaning on a wheelchair and quietly enjoying the rare warm sun on a winter afternoon. More than a dozen white pigeons walked and jumped around the wheelchair without recognizing their lives, competing to peck at the fine rice grains on the ground. As far as he could see, the old man suddenly saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the lawn, he raised his hand and threw a handful of rice millet to the right, and the pigeons immediately flapped their wings and flew into the distance.

"Mr. President, our Ambassador to London has just received news that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has submitted his resignation to King George VI and nominated Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill to succeed him. Although the British Navy has just suffered a major defeat, Churchill has received the strongest support in the House of Commons, and if nothing else, a new British cabinet will be formed in the next two days. Secretary of State Hull walked up to the old man and said.

The old man's eyes showed a bit of confusion, and he said softly: "This Churchill is not simple. I remember that as early as five years ago, when Germany announced the resumption of compulsory military service, he called on European countries to be vigilant against Hitler's ambitions and advocated resolute measures to severely punish Germany for violating the Treaty of Versailles. Now, he has not only transformed all this into his political aura in the new era, but also dumped all the responsibility for the failure of the navy on the peace paralysis and civil and martial arts of his predecessors, which can be described as extremely beautiful. I used to think that he was a cannon barrel who could only talk about national affairs, but now it seems that he is a practical official with sophisticated means and dares to stand up at critical moments. ”

Hull did not bother to focus on the personal competence of the new British prime minister, and asked directly about the most critical areas: "Do you think the new British cabinet will seek compromise and peace with the Germans, or will it insist on fighting?" ”

"Whether it is the king, the prime minister, or the cobblers, all of Britain is unwilling to make peace to the defeat of Germany, a former subordinate. However, reality forces everyone to make the most rational choice. ”

The old man's back was detached from the chair, and his thin face with slightly sunken cheeks was full of solemnity: "The core and main force of the British Navy have been destroyed in two naval battles, and now only a very limited number of ships can be separated to defend the Atlantic route. If their sea shipping were to be hit hard again and they would not have access to sufficient external resources, it would only be a matter of time before they sued Germany for peace. Moreover, I am very unoptimistic that Britain will be able to hold off the German naval offensive in the future, because Hitler's super-battleships and heavy aircraft carriers are so terrible. ”

Hull looked a little sluggish, completely unexpected, the president was so unoptimistic about the situation in Europe. As for the president's analysis of the navy, Hull understands that the real situation is mostly eight or nine inseparable: the president served as deputy secretary of the Navy in the early days of his political career, and he has a very deep understanding of the complex and huge war machine, driven by his work and interests. Hull's heart was so agitated that he couldn't help but call out the old man's last name: "President Roosevelt, we can't sit back and watch Britain be defeated on the ocean like this." Once Britain falls, it will be absolutely impossible for France to continue the war against Germany, and we will be faced with the whole of Europe and Africa in Hitler's hands, and the murderous island nation that is expanding wildly in the Far East! It's all about brewing the rhythm of an intercontinental war! ”

"Mr. Hull, do you think I don't want to eliminate danger in infancy? But what do you think I can do now? ”

Roosevelt turned his head, and those deep, quiet eyes seemed to penetrate the depths of the other party's heart: "Sell Lexington and Saratoga to the British Navy to fight the Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers of the Germans?" Even so, the British Navy lacked 1 squadron of battleships, 2 dozen cruisers, and 100 destroyers to control the seas. And even if the entire U.S. Atlantic Fleet participates in the war, the German Bismarck-class battleships will still be a big problem for Britain - our army also has no ships to fight them, and the two North Carolina-class and Bismarck-class battleships that have not yet been launched can be directly thrown into the scrap mill and dismantled on the spot. ”

Hull was dumbfounded by Roosevelt's cross-examination. To this day, the iron curtain of isolationist rule in the United States has only been torn through a small gap; Not to mention the sale of Lexington, the main aircraft carrier to the United Kingdom, even if it sells a few armed tugboats with no technical content, it will be severely blocked by Congress. And if the United States helps Britain build new ships, it will be too late in time. Although Hull does not understand the Navy, he also knows that a battleship or a large aircraft carrier cannot be done in more than 3 years from the start of construction to the formation of combat effectiveness!

Roosevelt slowly shook his wheelchair into the White House gate, and said in a calm voice: "In fact, I still have doubts about whether Britain will really grit its teeth and continue to fight and fight the war in the future." Send weapons to Britain now, it's hard to guarantee that they won't sue for peace with Germany tomorrow and then be turned against us by Hitler with these weapons! I ask you to convey to our men after your departure that all daily propaganda of 'aid to Britain against German aggression' should be suspended. Instead of pinning their hopes on the British, who had been defeated repeatedly, it was better to use them to strengthen their own military power. We should seriously study and study how to counter the attack of the German fleet. ”
