"Marshall, what do you think we should do?" Roosevelt asked his staff. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Now, Germany is too strong, and history has proven that as long as a country is not completely defeated, in twenty years, it will become extremely strong, and Germany is like this now, and a strong Germany is not in our interests."

Marshall looked at it from a military point of view, Europe was in chaos, and it was good for the New World, and the old capitalist countries could only rise when the old capitalist countries declined.

Germany, it has to be stronger, not too weak, but now, the situation is slipping to the brink of getting out of control, Germany is too strong, and now there is a tendency to sweep across Europe, which cannot but worry him.

"From a military point of view, it is in our best interest to support Britain and let Britain and Germany consume each other in the war." Marshall said.

Now Marshall, only from a military point of view, it is okay to lend some warships to Britain.

However, in the case of Roosevelt, it cannot be analyzed only from a military point of view.

"If we lend British warships, we will annoy the giants in the country, and a lot of Germans." Hull thought it more thoroughly, and today in Congress, he has seen clearly that many big families want to continue to cooperate with Germany, which is also the trend of the United States at this stage.

"Moreover, our neutrality bill also binds us."

The current trend in the United States is isolationism, and in fact, this trend of thought first began in Washington.

Washington delivered his "Farewell Message" after the end of his presidency, which included a paragraph.

"In order to build the United States into a great nation of freedom and progress, it is of the utmost importance to eliminate permanent and deep-seated antipathy towards some individual nations and emotional attachment to others; Do not enter into permanent alliances with any foreign country; The geographical position of the United States alone and far from other countries allows and enables the United States to pursue a unique diplomatic line so that the belligerent countries cannot benefit from the United States and do not dare to take risks to provoke the United States. ”

The United States just stays out of the matter and looks at Europe coldly.

Throughout the thirties, isolationism in the United States was on the rise, and the United States proposed a neutrality bill for some of its own politics, mainly for Latin America, which was made by Roosevelt.

In the event of a war or the ongoing war between two or more foreign States, the President shall declare this fact, and it shall be an offence to make any shipment of ordnance, munitions, or war reserves from any part of the United States or any of its possessions to that belligerent, or to any port of a neutral State used by any belligerent.

Britain, having declared war on Germany, is in a state of war, and at this time, the United States simply cannot sell warships to Britain, let alone lend them to British warships.

In recent years, Britain's economic strength has weakened sharply, and they themselves cannot afford to build new warships, and most of the warships they use are old ships from World War I.

A cigar, already smoked by Roosevelt, poked it in the ashtray and extinguished it, regaining his wise image: "It seems that we are not in a position to help Britain for the time being." ”

Roosevelt now, of course, the most important thing is to build momentum for his next election, he can't let his election fail because of Britain, and only if he succeeds in the election can he continue to help Britain!

"That would give Germany a chance to sit on the throne." Marshall couldn't help but say.

"England, France, are not so easy to conquer." Roosevelt said: "Britain and France have never lost in European wars. ”

"At the same time, at the moment, although we cannot help directly, we will not stop if there are people in our army who come by voluntarily." Roosevelt continued.

What Roosevelt meant, obviously, is that in the navy, warships will definitely not be voluntary, that is not something that can be driven by one person, and in the army air force, if someone is willing, they can go over, and if they can start the fighters, even if they go back with the fighters, they can also acquiesce.

Anyway, Britain is an island country, as long as the aviation is strong enough, it can stop the invasion of Germany, after all, the German navy has only just begun to develop, it is still very weak, it is impossible to land in Britain across the sea, and Britain has no risk of extinction.

When the two sides fight again, and consume a little, Roosevelt also runs for the next president, and then it will be okay to support Britain on a large scale.

As a politician, you must be patient, no matter what country you are in, when the problem cannot be solved temporarily, procrastination is a magic weapon.

At this time, Roosevelt did not fully pay attention to it, after all, after the Germans had blown up the British navy, they had not moved, but the British had begun to bomb quite arrogantly, and they were constantly increasing their troops to France.

At this time, Roosevelt did not think about how fast the Germans would be once they moved.

The affairs of the old continent, let go first, the most important thing is to run for president by yourself, those Germans, those big capitalists, can't be offended!

Roosevelt was not wrong in judgment, but the Germans' combat effectiveness was too rebellious, and during World War I, the two sides fought in France for so long, and as a result, in World War II, France quickly perished.

Now, in the United States, even Marshall now, he would never have imagined that France would be quickly defeated, and it would not be too late for the United States to enter the war when the war between France and Germany was in the later stages.

The United States is already seriously lagging behind in this regard, and they don't know that Germany has long begun to deploy in the world.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

In the United States, there are big cities like New York and Manhattan, as well as large areas of quiet and vast wilderness, where cowboys live a leisurely and idyllic life.

Oak Ridge is a quiet and peaceful area.

Oak Ridge takes its name from the 16-kilometre-long, 3.2-kilometre-wide Black Oak Ridge Valley, which is almost isolated from the rest of the world, with only a few hundred households in the valley who are quite familiar with each other.

Therefore, when old James, who lived in his small building this morning, came out of the courtyard and saw his neighbor, the house that had been empty for two years, and there was a noise today, he was very surprised and walked towards his neighbor.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor." James Sr. said that he saw the person opposite, with obvious German characteristics in appearance.

"I'm new here, my name is Tony." The other party said, stretching out his hand: "From now on, we will be neighbors."
