Stripped of the expedition's return to Germany, the entire focus of Germany and the Soviet Union was actually on how to launch a surprise attack on each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, while Germany and the Soviet Union were intensively rearmament for war, the United States was also not idle, and Roosevelt would not allow his United States to do nothing in the face of such a golden opportunity!

As the two most important enemies of the United States in world hegemony, Germany and the Soviet Union were about to go to war, and Roosevelt must now hurry to arm the United States, which is spreading isolationism, and only in this way can he have the ability to solve these two obstacles at a critical moment before the Soviet Union and Germany can fight for a result.

As the first step in Roosevelt's action to arm the United States, the U.S. Senate passed the Compulsory Military Service Act on the first working day after New Year's Day in 1941 at Roosevelt's behest.

The day after the Senate passed the new bill, Roosevelt was eager to send the bill to the House of Representatives for debate.

However, because isolationist sentiment in the United States has been so long-standing and deep-rooted, although Roosevelt forced the bill through the discussion in the House of Representatives, the members of the House of Representatives still imposed strict restrictions on the bill, requiring that the total number of participants in the training should not exceed 900,000 regardless of what is appropriate.

Although 900,000 people may sound like a small number, this is the first step, as long as everything has a beginning, then the next development will be much smoother, and what Roosevelt has to do is to promote the process of rearming the United States.

In order to give his ambitions a strong boost, Roosevelt signed another bill as soon as the Compulsory Military Service Act was passed, which gave him the power to call up members of the 238,000-strong National Guard and the Reserve Officer Corps to the army at any time, which was independently controlled by each state in the United States.

Of course, if you think that this is all Roosevelt's actions, then you are very wrong, because on this very day, Roosevelt has been brewing a move for a long time, and finally began to put it into action!

On the night of the bill's signing, the U.S. Department of Commerce suddenly announced that the U.S. government would refuse to sell scrap steel to any country or region outside the Western Hemisphere due to the international business situation!

This article does not seem to have any special ban, but it is actually a big move by Roosevelt himself!

Before the ban was issued, 90 percent of the scrap steel from the United States was exported to Japan in the Eastern Hemisphere, and due to the severe shortage of steel production in Japan, importing scrap steel from the United States has become an important way to keep the war machine running.

Now the U.S. Department of Commerce has suddenly announced a ban on the export of scrap steel to countries outside the Western Hemisphere, to put it bluntly, it is a measure specifically aimed at the Japanese government, but the problem is that Japan does not seem to have any explicit conflict with the United States.

In addition, Roosevelt's actions were not completely over, and the next day, Roosevelt suddenly issued an order to the military, requiring that from now on, try to decrypt the Japanese purple code!

From the very beginning, Roosevelt's actions against Japan were aimed at triggering a war between the two countries!

Due to the serious delay in the offensive of the Japanese devil's army in China, the Japanese strategy has not been fully achieved, which in turn has led to the involvement of a large number of Japanese main forces in the Chinese battlefield, and the Japanese have not received the much-needed steel, manpower, material resources, and oil from China!

Under these circumstances, the United States cut off Japan's steel imports, which almost hit Japan's aggression hard, and this small country with few resources was almost on the verge of being in danger.

However, the United States under Roosevelt still had no intention of letting Japan go under such circumstances.

To put it bluntly, when Germany and the Soviet Union began to fight, Roosevelt wanted to set up a direct war opponent for the United States, and only in this way could the American people be pulled out of isolationism, and the role of this opponent was to make the Americans vigilant and give his US government a legitimate reason to intervene in world affairs. When this opponent is defeated, it should be the time when the United States officially attacks the victors of the Soviet Union or Germany!

Obviously, Roosevelt chose this opponent as Japan!

It had been decided to take action against Japan, but because the people of his country hated war, Roosevelt had to force Japan to act first against the United States!

His purpose in cutting off Japan's steel supply was to make Japan feel the crisis, but this crisis was obviously not enough for Japan to risk war with the United States, so the United States then made another move that was tantamount to cutting off the lifeblood of Japan's war against Japan's offshore oil lifeline!

Almost overnight, the warships of the US government were all over the important shipping lanes between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, creating incidents, and all the unwarranted controversies or seizures of so-called unidentified ships were all aimed at the same oil-laden oil tankers bound for Japan!

The Japanese could not bear to face the US Government's move of provoking a war, and they kept protesting through their ambassador to the United States and constantly trying to solve the problem through consultations, but the attitude of the US Government was obviously determined to be an enemy of Japan!

In this case, Japan has no choice, Japan's oil reserves are seriously insufficient, if they can't get oil as soon as possible, then their huge fleet will be completely nested in the port, and Japan's dream of expansion will be completely shattered!

Finally, the Japanese set their sights on Southeast Asia, where they had always wanted to do it, but because the troops were delayed in China, where they had all the resources they wanted, from oil to steel to rubber!

However, if Japan attacks Southeast Asia, it will have to take a very big risk, because the various old imperialist forces in Southeast Asia are intricately intertwined, and if Japan rashly attacks Southeast Asia, it will almost be equivalent to starting a war against the United States, Britain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and other countries at the same time.

Obviously, now the U.S. government is forcing Japan down this path that is almost the enemy of the whole world

To be continued.
