Chapter 1123: Roosevelt's Worries
Molotov is a member of the Politburo of the Russian Federation, the chairman of the People's Commissariat of the Russian Federation, and the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs. In the Buen-Russian government, he can be regarded as one of the most powerful people. He secretly traveled to the United States as Joseph's envoy, which made the U.S. government very much important.
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt specifically asked the Army Air Corps to send B-17 bombers to pick up Molotov in Brahmania. It would undoubtedly be unsafe to travel to the United States through the airspace of the Atlantic, when the eastern part of the Atlantic was completely in the hands of the Germans. So, it is necessary to fly from Moscow to the Far East, and then from the Far East to the United States.
Burussia's aircraft, which have a shorter range and are not very reliable. The American B-17 bomber, which has a long range, can be used as a passenger aircraft after modification.
Before Molotov's arrival in the United States, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt was also convening a group of senior government and military officials to discuss the current situation of the war.
The invasion of Ukraine by Buenos and Russia gave Germany an excuse to go to war, which led to the outbreak of this world war. The Americans have played a major role in this. If it weren't for the fact that they had emboldened Buo, Buu would definitely not have such courage.
The reason why the Americans did this is naturally not at ease. They wanted to use Burussia to wear down Germany's strength. In this way, they will be under much less pressure when they go to war.
Therefore, the United States has also paid special attention to Germany's confrontation with Brahmania. It's just that they didn't seem to expect that under the fierce attack of the German army, Burussia would be so vulnerable.
"Gentlemen, the Russian Government has sent us a special envoy to our country with important matters to be discussed. However, I think it is very likely that the special envoy of the United States and Russia has come to ask for help. The strength shown by the Germans this time seems to be exceptionally strong! President Luo Xi said with a serious face.
Although the United States has not yet personally participated in the war, everyone knows that it will be inevitable. Once the United States is personally killed, it means that the fate of the United States is in the hands of this war. If the United States loses this war, it will collapse completely. Of course, now that the U.S. government is heavily indebted, they have no other way out if they can't win the war.
The senior military and political officials of the United States also had serious faces. The war had only been a week old, but the Germans had already suffered heavy losses from the Russians. The Russian army on the front line suffered losses of more than a million. Large areas of the country fell, a large number of soldiers were captured, and a large number of weapons and equipment were lost. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Burussia.
At the same time, it also made the Americans more aware of Germany's strength. Although, after years of development, the military strength of the US Army has improved a lot compared to before. However, many generals of the US Army privately believe that even if the US Army is on the field, the final result will not be much better than that of the Russian Army.
"Your Excellency, the German Army is the number one army in the world! After more than two decades of development, they have become even stronger. Whether it is the assault power, or the ability to maneuver, as well as the firepower of the troops, it is very powerful. Especially their tactics, at the beginning of the battle, the Luftwaffe dispatched a large number of planes to bomb the airfields on the front-line of the Buen-Russian army, severely damaging the Buen-Russian air force, and many fighters were blown up before they could take off, which made the Germans have completely mastered the air supremacy on the battlefield. Next, the armored forces of the Americans began to assault and easily tore through the defense line of the Russian army. The tanks of the Russian army could not resist the attack of the German armored forces at all, so that many troops were surrounded by the German armored forces and then eliminated. We have to admit that this new tactic of the Germans has achieved great success in Burussia. This is also something to be wary of. "Army Chief of Staff George? Admiral Marshall said solemnly.
"What would have been the outcome if our Army had fought the Germans? Or will we be able to withstand the German attack? "Vice President John? Nance? Garner asked.
"Your Excellency Vice President, the performance of our army may be a little better than that of the Russian army. However, we could not resist the German attack either. If our forces were on par with those of the Burussians, our losses would definitely not be much smaller than theirs. "George? Admiral Marshall said with some frustration.
The faces of the high-ranking military and political officials in the United States have changed again. Even George? Admiral Marshall, the helmsman of the Army, is not confident, so is there still a need to fight this battle?
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, hasn't our army acquired a large amount of advanced equipment? I've been training for so many years, how can I still get this result? Secretary of State Hull asked.
You must know that in order to get out of the economic crisis, the United States has vigorously developed the military industry. The orders issued by the government from the military have completely reborn the US Army and Navy. But now, the army still gives such a result, which naturally makes these high-ranking officials a little unacceptable.
"Your Excellency, the combat effectiveness of the Army has indeed been greatly improved. However, the gap between us and the Germans is still very large. This is manifested not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in the quality of officers and men. In addition, there is also a big gap in terms of tactics. Admiral Marshall said.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, does this mean that even if we were involved in the war, we would not be able to defeat the Germans?" President Roosevelt asked. If this is the result, then all these years of preparation will undoubtedly have no effect.
"Your Excellency, if we were to fight Germany alone, our chances of victory would be very small, if not at all. But, fortunately, we were not fighting Germany alone. Whether it is Burussia or an island country, it has very strong combat effectiveness. Together, we will fight the Germans all over the world, and we will inevitably scatter the Germans. In this case, we still have the ability to defeat them! Admiral Marshall said.
President Roosevelt nodded, and he thought so. Relying on the strength of the United States alone, it is simply impossible to compete with Germany. But if you add the island countries and Burussia, as well as the United Kingdom, they undoubtedly still have a chance to win. Of course, judging by the performance of the Germans in the war, the odds of victory were not as good as previously expected.
