"No, absolutely not, neither the British nor the Russians have a military power that is as sloppy as the propaganda you see, and in fact, there are very few people in this world who can do it better than they are, judging by the sheer situation they are facing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" With the sound of the door being pushed open, a sturdy general imprinted into everyone's eyes, and the person who came was none other than General Pershing, who had just returned from South Africa.

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

"Both the British and the Russians fought in South Africa and the Far East, far from the core of their homeland, with the difference that the British had to fight against the Boers with a strong mobile force in an area of more than 2 million square kilometers, while the Russians fought positional warfare against a powerful Far Eastern power."

"Let's talk about the British first, although from the outside propaganda, the British lost very badly, and the whole division and regiment were eaten by the Boers, and as a first-hand witness, I can clearly tell you that this kind of thing exists, but it mainly happens in the early stage, when the British continue to increase the number of troops, this kind of thing never happens again, we have drawn the most elite part of the US Army to participate in this war, but I can only tell you that our exchange ratio is not advantageous, If you remove the bonuses from equipment and guerrilla warfare, the gap between us and the British Army is no different from that of the Revolutionary War. Pershing said solemnly.

Was the War of Independence won by the Americans? Obviously not, without the naval blockade of the French and Dutch fleets, without the investment of hundreds of millions of francs from the French, and without the French and Dutch troops comparable to the number of American troops in the later period, how could the North American turtles in 13 states beat the British Empire's hundred-battle division? Not to mention anything else, in the final victory at Yorktown, the open sea was the French fleet, and the French and Dutch troops participating in the battle were more numerous than the Americans. Everyone here is very clear about what the American military was during the American Revolutionary War.

If it were in public, if others dared to say this, out of American self-esteem, Root would definitely refute it, and even reprimand the other party a few words, but now ....... Everyone understands people, so there is no need to say anything.

"As for the Russians? Their tactics are dull, and the soldiers are insensitive. There is indeed a big gap between Japan and the Japanese, but I need everyone to face up to one thing, that is, Japan is now a strong country, at least militarily! Maybe their economy and industry are nothing to the United States, but militarily they already have a monopoly on 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 planted their heels, as if they are very strong, in fact, the Boer Army is almost trained according to the standards of the German army, and when it began to pull out, its combat effectiveness was really strong, and Pershing thought that such an army was world-class in terms of quality, so it was inappropriate to call the Boers a militia. In a letter to Roosevelt, he described the two sides of the Boer War as a battle between a world-class army and a world-class army, and in a way the British were actually fighting the Germans!

As for the Russian army? The Americans themselves and the Japanese have been beaten so much that they can't find the north, and what face do you have to mock the Russians? To be honest, the Russians are in a much worse situation now than the Americans were back then, if the battle of the Philippines was an encounter back then, then this time, when the war began, the Russian fleet was already in the encirclement of the Japanese fleet.......

Unlike the Germans, who think too highly of themselves and see the other side too weak, the Americans are still afraid that Germany is not strong enough. What do the Americans say? They have always overestimated their opponents, especially when it comes to countries that have defeated them. Even in World War 2 in history, at the very beginning of the Pacific War, the description of the Japanese in the manuals issued by the Americans to soldiers was simply superhuman!

After the US military figures made their statements, the direction of the whole meeting immediately changed, and it became a ...... what if the Allies and the Entente fought and the Allies came up and lost. Germany and Austria-Hungary are not many staunch allies of the United States, no matter how strong the United States is, it is industrial and economic, and now militarily? Well, even at the beginning of World War 2, the US Army was jokingly called "the Italians on our side" by the British.

"We need to give the Germans some support so that this war can be fought a little longer, and the British and French will suffer a little more. For example, we can give them a loan, and then let them buy products and supplies from the United States. to augment their army. But what needs to be determined now is how likely is it that in the future, Germany will now go to war with Britain, France, and Russia. Roosevelt asked.

War was never a joke, and even before the war began, the Kaiser had scruples about fighting on two fronts and fighting the British. The situation between the two sides was far from the level of tension that could be fought at any time, and even Roosevelt did not think that Germany would easily go to war with the Allies.

"So how much aid do you think we need to give Germany to give it the confidence to go to war with the British?" A moment later Roosevelt asked, and perhaps someone said, isn't this the kind of thing to ask economists? However, the reality is that economists do not know how much it costs to prepare for war...... So it's better to ask a professional in the military.

"The British spent £350 million on the Boer War. The Japanese raised more than 200 million pounds for the war through various channels. Pershing thought for a moment and said. (Historically, the war cost of the British in the Boer War was 200 million pounds.) Japan also received a large amount of money through borrowing, and in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan lost a total of 1.7 billion yen, of which 800 million yen was borrowed. Among them, during the war, Japan raised 84 million pounds through financial channels. ）

"It seems that if we want Germany to stay afloat for a long time, we need a lot of investment. So how about we provide $100 million a year for Germany with low-interest long-term mortgages, starting next year? Roosevelt said. (At the time, £1 was about $2.5.) ）
