As a major exporter of mechanical and electrical machinery, Germany needs a lot of copper, while the United States is rich in copper resources, although the grade may be a little worse than Chile, but the advantage is that the distance is closer, and the amount is large. Although the importance of oil is not yet obvious, Germany's demand for oil and related products, led by the prince's single-minded promotion of the petrochemical industry, has also risen to a new level, and the export of these two items is enough for American capitalists to use their votes to determine the preferences of the US government.

Of course, in return, the Americans have also lowered tariffs on some mechanical and electrical products and optical equipment in Germany, and it is not okay if they do not reduce them, after all, the Americans have some things that they cannot produce. The American technological accumulation in this era is still a little worse. As for the South American market, there is also a division between the United States and Germany.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure, and since everyone has money to make, what else is there to say? Therefore, US-German cooperation is really the trend of the times.

"Actually, when we help the Germans this time, we are helping ourselves." At the end of the conversation, Roosevelt gave Dee a little hint of the Admiralty's plans.

"What do you mean?" Day's brow furrowed slightly.

"You'll know then, we're going to deter certain countries." Roosevelt threw down a sentence and left, although Dai was the secretary of state, but the secretary of state couldn't control the navy's plans.

Roosevelt was a strong-willed man who would never be defeated by a single defeat! Although the defeat in the Philippines was indeed disastrous, Roosevelt was angry and seriously ill. After Roosevelt returned to the position of deputy secretary of the Admiralty, on the one hand, he actively promoted the US Navy's arms expansion program. On the other hand, it is to consider whether it is possible to find two chickens to come out and scare them and show the presence of the United States.

But now the U.S. Navy is not easy to handle, after the First World War in the Philippines, the U.S. Navy has no battleships that can be used except for 3 battleships! Although the Americans gritted their teeth at Brazil, which invisibly aided the abuse, they did not expect a single battleship to scare the Brazilians.

But fortunately, in a few months, the Kansas-class battleships will be in service. By then, the Americans would have 5 battleships, and the Americans had already estimated that they would make a fleet to go around the Brazilian coast and scare the Brazilian toucans in their incomprehensible form! Let him know the difference between a bird and an eagle.

And this time, the Germans' plan gave Roosevelt an opportunity to fake it! That's right, it's a fox and a fake tiger, the same 10,000-ton warship, and hanging the German flag is different from the American flag! After all, the former beat the Japanese, and the latter was beaten by the Japanese, this is the gap!

The current U.S. Navy is also a little inferior, and the defeated man dares to speak up? The meaning of the two battleships rowed over by yourself is completely different from the two battleships of the Americans and the two battleships of the Germans! This is the Americans pulling their buddies up to find a field! It's a deterrent!

Of course, some people asked, why did the German Navy go to the Americas if it had nothing to do? Here's the thing, Germany wants to fight Angola, but the distance between the two places is far away, and the fleet needs to run over first, otherwise it will be cold to send the fleet when something happens. And this directly pulled the 4 main forces over, which obviously had too much impact, so the prince thought of such a way.

Two Munich-class armored cruisers passed first, then the Caesar-class battleships and the USS Mainz went on a friendly visit to the United States. Then they went south to Brazil, where they were resupplied and maintained before going to Angola. In this way, the battleship will be in better condition, and it will go very naturally, and it will not arouse the suspicion of other countries.

Then Roosevelt thought, anyway, the Germans are going to Brazil, so let's take a trip together, and by the way, warn the Brazilians who don't open their eyes, don't keep following the British in the future! That's what happened, shock Brazil, and then let the two new battleships and the personnel on them go through it.

Roosevelt informed the U.S. Admiralty of the idea, which brought it to the president. And the president of the United States said that this is a good solution, so let's do it! Eventually, the U.S. ambassador to Germany sent the request to the Kaiser.

"It's okay to take you around, but don't interfere with our actions! Brother is going out to fight, not to play! When I arrived in Brazil, it was just a stopover. "When the prince saw this document, his first feeling was that he wanted to refuse, but then he thought, since you let us accompany us on a trip to Brazil, can you help us occupy a field by the way when we do it to Portugal? If you agree, then everyone has something to talk about.

"This is not equal at all, the United States and Germany go to Brazil together to deter, more of a gesture, but if the US Navy is involved in the war between Germany and Portugal, it will be a big trouble. It's a paramilitary alliance! Roosevelt immediately objected.

"It's actually an equal deal, because after this is over, your country is about to annex Hawaii, and in order to deter the United States and Japan from possible action, our fleet will also go with the American fleet. And when Germany agrees to your country's use of our bases in the Far East, we are also on the opposite side of Britain and Japan. ”

"Mr. Roosevelt, you are always willing to buy a $10 item with a $1 bill. As a businessman, I know two things: first, your opponent and partner are not stupid, and second, cooperation will only last if both parties think it is valuable. Eventually, the prince probably felt that the strength was not enough, so he added another sentence at the end of the telegram.

"We will go to Angola in the name of evacuation, and the American merchant ships will help your country to the best of their ability, but our fleet will not participate in any military operations, and all landers will not move beyond 20 kilometers around the port." Roosevelt thought about it and wrote in a callback.

It's okay to go, but absolutely no military-related actions will be taken, and that's the bottom line for the Americans. Of course, according to the prior agreement between the two sides, after Germany declares Angola a war zone and gradually occupies Angola, the United States Government will issue a statement recognizing German possession of Angola.

"What we need is professional naval assistance, and if it's just civilian ships to provide supplies, then what else do we need from your country? German merchant ships are enough, your country's fleet can not participate in the operation, but the naval supply ships accompanying the fleet should play a role. What your country does today will directly determine how much we will help your country tomorrow. The prince was dissatisfied.

"We can provide your country with professional supply ships, but the U.S. Navy logo will not appear on these supply ships, and all the support plans that have been finalized will be honored." In the end, the Americans made such a guarantee, and the lining could be given, but it was still needed for face.
