The St. Lawrence River is located on the border between the United States and Canada, but it is not exactly a boundary river, and the lower reaches of the St. Lawrence River are entirely within the borders of Canada. High-quality updates are located in and near the St. Lawrence River in the United States, and the territories are among the most developed in the United States, including New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and more. If the Germans' armored forces were to be attacked by surprise, American history would have come to an end.

Roosevelt smoked in silence, finished smoking and then replaced. Canada is very important to the United States, but after all, Canada is a colony of the British Empire, and the United States can't openly send troops to occupy it, right? He thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Mackenzie. Prime Minister King is a great politician, he knows that Canada can't do without the United States, and I will personally go to Ottawa after a while. I think we could propose a United States-Canada Mutual Defense Agreement that would turn Canada into an important part of the security system in the Americas. ”

"The Inter-American Security System?" Hull looked at Roosevelt, it was the first time he had heard of the term, and it was clearly an idea that Roosevelt had just come up with.

"Yes, the Inter-American Security System!" Roosevelt nodded emphatically. "Security in the Americas should be a whole, not only the United States, Canada, but Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Panama, and all the countries of the Americas!"

"All the countries of the Americas!?" There was an exclamation in the Oval Office. Although the United States has always regarded itself as the hegemon of the Americas and claims that the Americas are Americans, in fact the relations between the United States and Latin American countries are not very good. For a long time, the United States only regarded Latin America as its "quasi-colony". It has never been thought of truly uniting and helping Latin America. In fact, the Americans do not think of themselves as "Americans" at their roots, but as "Europeans". But now. With Germany as the leader in Europe, it is destined to have no United States to intervene. Not only will Europe not be able to intervene, but even the old base areas in the Americas may also be touched by Germany!

Therefore, in order to prevent problems before they happen, Roosevelt had the idea of building an "American Community" in his mind......

"Yes," Roosevelt muttered, taking a sharp puff of cigarette and exhaling a large cloud of smoke, "gentlemen." This world war has changed the planet we live on, becoming too big too fast...... Now it seems that the era of colonies is coming to an end. However, instead of national independence and national liberation, it was national integration and regional and national integration. In the world of the future, instead of one or a few large countries leading more than a hundred small countries, several super-federal countries will stand side by side. The one who started the trend was Chinese Premier Chang Ruiqing. He began building the Federation of Greater China 10 years ago. Now this federation already has the Republic of China, the Far East, the Republic of Indochina, the Kingdom of Siam, the Republic of Myanmar, the Republic of Malay, and other six federal subjects, I heard that the Republic of Korea is also ready to join the Great China Federation, and when this world war is over, the Republic of Japan, the Philippines, the United States, and the Republic of East India will probably also be part of the Great China Federation. What a huge market it is, rich in resources, vast land, large population, and an increasingly perfect democracy, which will inevitably become the world's first-class country over time......

Now Hitler is also learning from Chang Ruiqing. The signboard of the Greater German Confederation has been hung up, and the concept of the European Community has been proposed. Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria have joined the Greater German Confederation. I heard that Romania, Hungary, Luxembourg and Finland are also considering joining. After Hitler defeated the Soviet Union, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia would certainly join the Greater German Confederation. With such a super-federation as the foundation, the collapse of the British Empire is imminent, and the emergence of the European Community is probably a matter of time. A European Community under the leadership of Germany is undoubtedly the leader of the world, and the United States is not capable of competing with it.

Not only in Europe and East Asia, but also in the Middle East and North Africa, the Arabs have begun to seek unification, they already have a supreme leader caliphate, and hundreds of thousands of caliphs, and it is very likely that in the future with the support of China will form an Arab empire with the caliph as the monarch.

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think we should do in the United States? What should we do in the Americas? Is it still the current situation of scattered sand? So how can we compete with a united Europe and a united Greater East Asia? One day, maybe even the Arab Empire will not be able to compare, right? Therefore, the formation of the Community of American States led by the United States is the historical mission of our generation! ”

Roosevelt let out a long sigh and glanced around the office, all of whom had gloomy faces. According to Roosevelt's vision, the future world is likely to be a triumph of the Greater China Federation (Greater East Asian Federation), the European Community (Greater German Federation), and the American Community. But of the three superpowers, the most difficult to form is undoubtedly the American Community.

Because China has been the leader of Greater East Asian civilization for thousands of years, and the number of Chinese accounts for more than 75% of the total population of the Greater East Asia region, as long as the policy of ethnic integration is persistently pursued, the foundation for the unity and unification of Greater East Asia can be laid for decades at most.

And European civilization, which has been divided since the weakening of the Roman Empire, is now super-powerful, and the Germans have always had the ambition to lead Europe. When they have mastered Russia's resources and Middle Eastern oil, they can use guns and oil to advance European integration with one hand. Although it may not be possible to lay the foundations for permanent unity, it is possible to emerge a united Europe with Germany at its core.

But what about the American Community? Not to mention that those Latin American countries that have been bullied by the United States for decades are willing to integrate with the United States -- maybe they are really willing! But will the American people be willing to integrate with their poor Latin American relatives? Are they willing to let the poor of Latin America come to the United States to compete for jobs? Obviously impossible! Therefore, the United States has no way to build a "Greater American Federation" like the Great China Federation. High-quality updates can only try to build an American community like Germany, but the United States does not have the overwhelming military superiority of Germany. Latin American countries may not buy the United States, and the only way to build such a community is to open the way with economic assistance on the premise of maintaining the absolute superiority of the US Navy...... But will Latin American countries be able to take advantage of the economic aid provided by the United States?

Nanking. Tang Shan, Ministry of Defense of the Federation of Greater China.

“…… The international proletarian coalition (referring to the Red Army and the People's Army in the Soviet camp) annihilated a total of 1.2 million imperialist troops of the United States, Britain and China; It also besieged more than 600,000 imperialist troops in Damascus, Beirut, Alexandria, Ras Al Khaimah and other places; Killed the captured British Lieutenant General Arthur. Parvahi, Brigadier General Manton. There are eight generals below Smith and thirty-nine officers at the rank of colonel; captured more than 138,900 officers and soldiers of the British, American, Chinese, and Arab empires; 665 tanks and armored vehicles, 719 trucks, 2,246 artillery pieces, and countless light weapons of various kinds were seized; 119 planes were shot down, 2 destroyers, 1 cruiser, and 5 large transport ships were sunk. 3 aircraft carriers and 2 battleships were heavily damaged. This battle was indeed the greatest victory since the beginning of the world revolution! ”

In the war conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, Zhao Fatzi was reading the report on the defense of the Middle East jointly announced by the Soviet Union and India in an extremely low tone. A large map of the world hangs on the wall. Chang Ruiqing sat at the head of the conference table, Wu Shi stood in front of the map, the world revolution on this map is indeed rebounding, and the red flag has been planted in Africa! In a large red area of the Middle East, there are several solitary Rice-Shaped Flags, Stars and Stripes, and Caliphate Flags. Seems lonely and lonely. Impotence, the future of the counter-revolution looks very bleak.

After Zhao Zhen finished reading the war report, Wu Shi briefed the senior officers present on the current enemy situation, and although the world revolution has rebounded greatly, the top leaders of the Chinese National Defense Forces are still very calm. In fact, the suffering of the United States and Britain in the Middle East is related to the secret troublemaking of someone here. The current strategy of the Ministry of Defense is not so much to focus on wartime as it is to look beyond the war.

"The outcome of the second Middle East battle was completely in line with expectations, and although the losses of Britain and the United States could not be as high as 1.2 million, it is estimated that there were still 5 or 600,000 troops." After introducing the war situation in the Middle East, Wu Shi said: "The Ministry of Defense judges. The withdrawal of Britain and the United States from the Middle East was already a trend of the times, and the British Empire was no longer able to maintain its status as a great power after the defeat of India in the Middle East. It is possible to become a de facto vassal of Germany attached to Germany. Therefore, the biggest beneficiary of the Second Middle East War was not so much the Soviet Union and India as Germany, and the biggest obstacle to Germany's emergence as the leader of Europe has disappeared, and the leader of the post-war world is none other than Germany. ”

Wu Shi's voice floated in the room, and it sounded steady, but the senior generals of the Wehrmacht were still a little helpless when they heard it. Chang Ruiqing's strategy has always been to maintain the British Empire and avoid German domination in Europe. However, the British Empire itself did not work hard, and was beaten by Trotsky as the weak link of imperialism, and it was not easy to hold out until now.

"Based on the current situation, the trend of Germany dominating Europe and becoming the world's number one power is unstoppable, and our country's war strategy must also be adjusted to a certain extent. The most important change is to change the original general policy of the Soviet Union first, because once the Soviet Union is defeated, it will mean that Germany will finally achieve hegemony in Europe! The land, resources, and industrial base of the Soviet Union in Europe were to be owned by Germany. If one takes into account that Britain will also be subservient to Germany, Germany will have more heavy industry in its hands than China and the United States combined! ”

Wu Shi frowned slightly, if you compare the territory, population, and resources, the post-war Great China Federation is the first in the world! But compared to the industrial base than the technological reserves, China has only risen for more than ten years, how can it be compared with the whole of Europe? However, no one can deny China's potential, so even if Sino-German relations have always been "close", Hitler will never give up the opportunity to suppress China.

Therefore, once the Soviet Union is destroyed, Germany will inevitably interfere in Asian, especially East Asian affairs, prevent China from annexing Japan, the Philippines and the East Indies, and even support Japan to fight against China and the United States. Therefore, China must put the annexation of Japan before the elimination of the Soviet Union, which means that in the coming period, China will face a two-front war!

Wu Shi paused for a while, took a sip of tea, and just wanted to continue, when someone suddenly interjected. "Commander-in-Chief Wu," Wu Shi looked at the voice, and it turned out to be Minister of the Navy Chen Shaokuan: "Does changing the overall policy of taking the Soviet Union as the first opponent mean that Japan will be the first opponent?" Does it mean an imminent break with Japan? ”

"The new approach will require the defeat of Japan first, but this does not mean an immediate war, but the navy must be ready in the shortest possible time." Chang Ruiqing replied in a light tone. At present, of course, China's military strength is stronger than Japan's, and there is no problem in winning the war. However, Red Japan is not a soft persimmon to be pinched casually, although the army is not worth mentioning, but the Japanese navy is very difficult to deal with, their total tonnage and the tonnage of aircraft carriers and battleships are more than the Chinese navy.

Chen Shaokuan pondered for a moment and asked: "Then will our war with India and the Middle East war be fought at the same time as the war between China and Japan?" ”

According to Chang Ruiqing's instructions, the Navy has set up a Western Fleet, and the Naval Transportation Command has also transferred a large number of transport ships to Yangon, Burma, to prepare for providing logistical transportation for operations against India and the Middle East. However, once the Sino-Japanese war began, the Japanese navy might blockade the Strait of Malacca, cut off communication between the Western and South Ocean fleets, and possibly send a fleet into the Indian Ocean to fight.

"The navy must be ready for war at any time." Chang Ruiqing said in a deep voice: "But when the war will start still depends on the situation!" He suddenly aggravated his tone: "In view of the fact that Japan has always been accustomed to launching a surprise attack without declaring war, the navy must be on full alert and must not slack off in the slightest!" ”

"The navy will not be dishonored!" Chen Shao stood up and replied loudly.

Chang Ruiqing nodded with satisfaction: "Houfu, how are the shipborne radars and air defense radars doing?" ”

As a traverser, Chang Ruiqing certainly knew the important role that radar played in World War II. However, he is not a science student, so he is not good at this thing, and China's electronic technology in this era is almost blank, and it is too difficult to start from scratch. Fortunately, at that time, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and the Soviet Union all began to develop radar one after another, and it was not difficult to obtain technology in this area, and the Science and Technology Department of the Intelligence Bureau successively obtained quite a few of them, and some of the engineers and technicians who had been exiled from Japan were engaged in electronics. As a result, an institution called the Naval Institute of Electronics was established as early as 1928 and received large sums of money to conduct research on radar technology and radio communication technology. After the outbreak of the world war, China, Britain and Germany carried out some cooperation in radar technology, and mastered the most critical multi-cavity magnetron technology. By 1935, the air defense radar was successfully carried out and successful. After Chang Ruiqing received this news, he immediately signed an order to build a radar early warning system in Guangzhou Bay, where the home port of the Nanyang Fleet is located.

"At present, 6 radar stations have been built, and 28 more are under construction, and by the end of the year they should all be completed, when the port of Zhanjiang will be under the full protection of the air defense radar, and any aircraft that approaches 50 kilometers from the port of Zhanjiang will be detected by us."

50 km, the current radar is capable of this, and it will take another two years to get a more advanced radar. However, if an enemy plane can be detected 50 kilometers in advance, the risk of a surprise attack on the military port can be basically ruled out, and this distance is enough for an ordinary carrier-based bomber to fly for 10 minutes. Moreover, the radar station is not built inside the military port, but on the periphery of the military port, so that it can have a few more minutes of reaction time, which should be enough for fighters to take off to meet the battle. As long as the Nanyang Fleet will not be attacked by the Japanese Navy at its home port, and the two sides will fight on a separate basis, China will still be sure of victory.

"It's done very well, the navy should also speed up the research and development of shipborne radar, and in addition, the research and development of airborne radar should also be followed, and the navy and air force can cooperate in it." Chang Ruiqing gave a few more instructions and then announced the adjournment of the meeting. Today's meeting was originally a "briefing meeting," and it will take some time before the plan for the readjustment and deployment of tens of millions of national defense forces can be made.
