Historically, when Roosevelt ran for president for the third time, the United States had not yet entered the war, and the isolationism and wait-and-see mood in the United States was still very strong, but now, it is completely different, and the United States has been completely involved in the war!

In times of war, everything has to be simple, the presidential campaign is a rather complicated process, costing money, and at the same time consuming mind, the president of the United States should not waste time in this regard, there is not much time left for the United States!

"Even, I think that our presidential election can simplify the plan, we want to win the war, we can't waste our limited energy on such meaningless and worthless activities, President Roosevelt is the most suitable president for our United States, what do you think?" Lister said to the people below.

Suddenly, many people were nodding their heads, and it made sense!

Roosevelt took the United States out of the predicament of the economic crisis, and after that, Roosevelt took the United States to develop stronger step by step, before the invasion of the island country, Roosevelt realized the coming of war and prepared in advance, but unfortunately the domestic isolationism was too strong, so that Roosevelt could not let go.

The attack on Pearl Harbor fully verified Roosevelt's foresight, and Roosevelt was the most suitable president of the United States!

But how could the conventions left by President Washington be broken?

Roosevelt did not attend this meeting, for him, staying out of the matter is the best choice, just like the ancient Huaxia, his own yellow robe, that is taboo, must be persuaded again and again, that is, the destiny of heaven, will have to be accepted.

Roosevelt did not attend, but his wife, Eleanor, arrived in the tumultuous venue just in time.

Looking at the people present, Eleanor showed the demeanor of the first lady, her eyes were very moving, as if she could speak, her voice was so soft, but there was no lack of reason.

"1940 was not an ordinary period, but a special period of war, and we should not quarrel over anything other than such questions as what we can do for the good of the whole country."

"Franklin didn't have any idea of breaking the convention, but I firmly believe that everyone here is sensible and wants to elect a president who is most suitable for us in the United States and can lead the United States to the final victory. He has been working hard for this reason. ”

Eleanor's words finally infected everyone present, and the vote within the Democratic Party finally decided to nominate Roosevelt as the next presidential candidate.

At this time, Roosevelt was inspecting the Newport News shipyard, and now he is still the current president of the United States, and he is responsible for the interests of the United States.

The United States needs a lot of aircraft carriers! Although Roosevelt did not come from a military background, he also had a keen sense that the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft would definitely change future naval warfare.

For example, if the islanders did not have an aircraft carrier, they would never have succeeded in attacking Pearl Harbor!

And now, if it wants to regain control of the Pacific, the United States needs to use its industrial production capacity to the maximum and build a large number of aircraft carriers!

However, even if the United States has a lot of money, it cannot afford hundreds of aircraft carriers, so an economical escort aircraft carrier is a better choice for the US Navy.

The escort aircraft carrier is distinguished from the fleet aircraft carrier, which is the main aircraft carrier of the navy, with a large displacement and many aircraft, built in full accordance with the standards of the army, and is the main force of naval aviation in naval and air warfare.

The biggest feature of escort aircraft carriers is that they are small, and they are mainly used to escort merchant ships. They are generally deployed in front of a convoy of carriers, using carrier-based aircraft to reconnoiter and attack submarines, or to guide surface ships to carry out attacks. Shore attacks are also possible, but generally do not take part in direct operations against the enemy's fleet.

These characteristics of escort aircraft carriers determine that their cost is very low, and they can be mass-produced on an assembly line, so Roosevelt has always emphasized the need to develop a large number of escort aircraft carriers.

As a result, a number of shipyards responded, among which the most violent reaction was the Newport News shipyard, which claimed that they had built more than 30 escort aircraft carriers and had rich experience, and if the order was handed over to them, they could build one in two or three months!

Roosevelt was very satisfied with this speed of construction, so he came to the shipyard on this day to inspect it.

Roosevelt was accompanied by the commander of the Pacific Navy, Admiral Nimitz.

Last year, Roosevelt was aware of the danger that might occur in the Pacific, so Roosevelt ordered James Richardson, commander-in-chief of the U.S. fleet, to move the fleet from the west coast to Hawaii to deter Japan.

So, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt dismissed him from his post and chose Nimitz, a Navy veteran in his fifties, who was the most suitable candidate in Roosevelt's eyes.

But Nimitz declined, citing his "lack of qualifications", and was succeeded by his friend Admiral Hasben-Kimmel, who was appointed commander of the Pacific Fleet after Pearl Harbor.

The situation in the Pacific Ocean is very dangerous, and Nimitz is also worried, especially the number of aircraft carriers in the fleet is too small, and the construction period of new aircraft carriers is too long, and how to have combat effectiveness is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

When the group came to the shipyard, they met Walter, the head of the shipyard, and at this time, Walter was full of confidence.

"How do you have experience in the construction of more than thirty escort aircraft carriers? The Navy probably didn't place an order at the Newport News shipyard, right? When he saw Walter, Nimitz immediately asked.

"Yes, we have not placed an order, but we have accepted the order contract for a new container ship from Germany before, and we have produced more than 30 of them in an assembly line way, which is fast and low-cost, and their container ships, and the escort aircraft carriers we need, are of the same level."

With that, Walter led everyone to the conference room, and Nimitz only glanced at the unfolded design drawings to know that Walter's words were correct. The 148-meter cargo ship, the top is a flat deck, the ship island is arranged on the right side, there are lifts on the side, and there is a hangar below. Moreover, the power is also good, it actually reached 18 knots!

"When the shipyard is in production, don't you know that this is an escort aircraft carrier?" Roosevelt's voice of displeasure came.
