A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a country that does not want to dominate the globe does not have qualified leaders.

For the United States, when the existing territory is completed, they are already facing two oceans.

In the Pacific, after the defeat of Spain, the United States' main rival was Japan, which was allied with Great Britain. And in the Atlantic, the United States has to guard against Britain, France, Germany and other European countries.

In this way, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the international situation was still uncertain, the United States did not take the initiative to participate in disputes, but always remained vigilant to avoid the flames of war and its own fire, which was the two-ocean defense strategy.

At the end of World War I, the United States began to develop a strategy for world hegemony. This is Project Rainbow.

This rainbow plan is a magnificent set of operational plans, which were formulated by the US Joint Operations Staff in the 20 and 30 s of the 20 th century.

This plan mainly includes the following aspects.

Project Red, and later Project Crimson: Used against the British Empire and Canada, this battle plan included even invading Canada before Britain could react.

Black Plan: Used against Germany. The plan assumed that in World War I, Germany would try to seize French colonies in the Caribbean, and that the United States would preemptively seize them.

Project Brown: Used to deal with the national uprising in the Philippines.

Gray plan: for aggression against Central American countries.

Plan Gold: Used to defeat France.

Plan Orange: Used to defeat Japan.

Silver Plan: Used to defeat Italy.

White Plan: Used to defeat the rebellion within the United States.

Yellow Plan: Used to deal with the war in China, especially the Sino-Japanese war.

Among them, the red plan is put in the first place, and as the situation progresses, this set of plans, for the United States, the possibility of realization has become greater and greater.

Britain's national power has declined incomparably!

Now, Britain is unable to protect itself, so how can it take care of its overseas colonies? Canada is simply the meat of the mouth of the United States!

The United States has always regarded itself as the master of the Americas, and if you look at the rainbow plan above, you can know that the first thing the United States wants to rule is the entire Americas, especially Canada in the north!

Now, it's the right time!

"Now, the British navy has almost been reduced to a coastal defense force, and Britain is preparing to counterattack the German landing, and if we do it against Canada now, Britain will not have any means of counterattack."

Secretary of War Henry Stimson, holding the materials of the Red Plan in his hand, said to the person in front of him with great interest: "We intend to occupy the Canadian port city of Halifax in the first stage, so that Canada can be completely cut off from Britain. ”

"After that, we invaded Canada in three ways. the invasion of Montreal and Quebec City by Vermont; invasion of Winnipeg and its quartermaster depot from North Dakota; and the invasion of strategically important nickel mines in Ontario by the U.S. Midwest. At the same time, our navy needs to occupy the Great Lakes region and blockade Canada's Atlantic and Pacific ports. ”

Once this plan is implemented, it is conceivable that Canada will have almost no room to fight back, and as long as there is no support from the United Kingdom, Canada will simply be a fat meat on the lips of the United States.

Hearing this, Roosevelt frowned, and he did not speak.

And Secretary of State Hull, who was on the side, had already spoken out against it: "No, we can't do this!" ”

"Why?" Henry looked at Hull, this plan, there are no loopholes, once Canada is occupied, the territory of the United States will be expanded to the whole of North America, isn't this bad?

"Yes, if we look at it purely from a military point of view, Britain is preoccupied with itself, and it is our best chance to occupy Canada, and if we send troops now, we will surely take Canada easily, but, ladies and gentlemen, please see clearly, a greater enemy has emerged." Hull's tone was serious.

"Now that Germany has occupied the whole of Western Europe, if we capture Canada at this time, Britain will be hit harder, so to speak, and will accelerate the defeat of Britain, so to speak, and in this way, we will no longer be faced with a scattered messy European country, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, etc., but a unified and powerful country, and when Germany integrates the whole of Western Europe, it will definitely become our worst enemy!"

Hull saw the problem acutely.

European countries do not have a large land area and have all kinds of contradictions in history, and Europe is a mess of sand.

But if Europe is integrated, it will be different, and there is no doubt that Europe will become a terrible enemy! A united Europe would seriously threaten the interests of the United States!

And now, this trend has begun, and recently, it is said that Ciric has been in France, and the Germans are currently said to be engaged in some kind of European bank, intending to unify the currency of the entire occupied zone.

This is the first step towards the unification of Europe, the unification of the currency, the unification of all kinds of factories, and with the strong technical support of the Germans, it is conceivable that Europe will soon become stronger, so strong that it is dangerous for the United States to touch it!

The two sides are just separated by the Atlantic, and when the time comes, will the aggressive Shirek and the United States face each other across the sea and remain friendly?

Hull, who had a premonition of the worst, had always opposed isolationism at home and wanted to help Britain.

At the very least, Britain can be used to deplete Germany's strength, Germany has a small population, and in the war, one less will die, and the burden on the United States can be lightened!

"It is precisely because of this that we want to invade Canada even more, if Britain also surrenders quickly like France, then as a British colony, Canada is likely to be claimed by the Germans, and at that time, the Germans will directly hand over to us by land, although we are not afraid, but the offensive capability of the German army, you are clear." Henry said.

Now is a good opportunity, if you don't fight now, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more serious!

Henry is trying to convince Hull, and Hull is trying to convince Henry.

In the entire Oval Table room, almost the two were arguing, and Roosevelt, who was in a wheelchair, did not speak all the time.

As the president of the United States, they are very interested in expanding their territory, and it can be said that it is indeed a good opportunity to expand their territory to the north now, but it will bring even more terrible consequences that the United States cannot accept!

"Report, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, secretly came to Washington, hoping to meet with you." Just then, an assistant came in and reported.
