Roosevelt naturally would not be so stupid as he might not have a high chance of winning against the Soviet Union in person, and if he didn't do it well, he would make a wedding dress for someone else, and at the same time, it would not conform to the deep isolationist tradition of the United States, and on the premise of not having a strong excuse, it would attract criticism from public opinion at home and abroad. In his opinion, it is more in line with American tradition to find a thug to test the true strength of the Soviet army and consume a little bit of its liliang

At first, the United States pinned its hopes on the mustache, but this guy had his own ideas and was not willing to become a thug of the United States. Although the mustache restored Germany's economy with the help of the United States' liliang, the Nazis only called anti-communism on behalf of the United States, Britain and France to deal with the Soviet Union, and they were quite ruthless against the Communist Party in their own country, but they never took any substantive action against the Soviet Union, which the United States really feared, and even secretly broke ties with the Soviet Union (Note 1)

Although Roosevelt believed that the mustache would sooner or later attack the Soviet Union because of his ideology and the need to dominate the European continent, he could not wait any longer seeing that the Soviet Union was getting stronger day by day, and that the Soviet Union would by no means be able to defeat Germany alone if the current situation continued to develop.

However, given Japan's current situation, they will never take advantage of the fire for the United States without giving them some benefits, but if the United States gives Japan support, it will undoubtedly seriously damage Sino-US relations. Roosevelt was not unaware of this, but the threat of the Soviet Union undoubtedly made him more restless, especially since the Soviet Union was deliberately connived at in order to get out of the economic crisis, once the Soviet Union really could not check and balance. His responsibility cannot be cleared of any circumstances. In addition, the current Sino-US trade is more meaningful to China, and Roosevelt believes that the Red Party will not turn against the United States for this.

As a matter of fact, the Red Party Central Committee really does not want to break with the United States and destroy the great opportunity that Zhongfu International has won with great difficulty, because if it waits for the US economy to recover. I'm afraid that even if the Red Party is willing to swallow its anger and pretend to be its grandson at that time, people may not be willing to fulfill the contract. But in any case, after all, this incident deeply planted a thorn in the hearts of Taizu and other red party leaders, and also laid the groundwork for the subsequent deterioration of relations between China and the United States

Roosevelt's wishful thinking played well. But the Japanese are not stupid, and the stronger Germany does not dare to fight to the death with the Soviet Union now, let alone Japan, which is obviously weaker in terms of national strength and military strength? But the problem is that the Japanese government is just an empty shelf. The Army and Navy were divided into systems but did not buy each other at all, so the Americans finally found a breakthrough.

The Japanese Navy was ashamed that the two battleships were captured by the Chinese and sold to the Soviets, and the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy stationed in Weihaiwei Military Port, which was geographically crucial, made the Japanese Navy's military command department even more in the throat, and it was difficult to obtain the emperor's permission (secondary) if not too sure (primary). They had already waged war against the Soviet Union on their own. However, as long as the United States has advanced radio communications, the performance and reliability of the Japanese Navy's airborne radio will be greatly improved, and even though the Soviet Union has begun to strengthen the defense of Weihaiwei Harbor, as long as the Japanese Navy can dispatch a large bomber formation that could not be dispatched before. The odds are still high.

In addition, the US Government and some US enterprises with government background have also provided a total of no less than $50 million in processing orders with incoming materials to some enterprises that have close ties with the Japanese Navy, that is, the raw materials are provided by the United States, and the Japanese companies will process them into semi-finished products or finished products and sell them back to the United States.

Moreover, these two conditions, which were very lucrative in the eyes of the Japanese, were only the deposits made by the United States to lure Japan into a war against the Soviet Union, and once a war really broke out, the benefits would be even more indispensable to them, and this undoubtedly further increased the Japanese Navy's courage to go to war against the Soviet Union without permission. Of course, the top brass of the Japanese Navy was not unaware that once the war began, it would inevitably be retaliated by the Soviet army, and Japan, which had already lost too many lives in the Sino-Japanese war, would find it difficult to compete with the Soviet Red Army on land, which was the first in Shijie, even if it received economic and Jishu support from the United States (Note 2), but even if the Soviet Union did not enter the war, would Japan, which was now on the verge of collapse of its domestic economy, be able to stop the rapidly growing Chinese army from advancing into the Northeast without US aid? Since the results are all about the same, why not give it a go? Anyway, the strength of the Soviet Red Navy was not good, so it couldn't hit the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese Navy would only lose Lushun and Dalian at most, which are not very important compared with the two military ports on the mainland (Lushun Dalian does not even have a 10,000-ton dock, while the shipyards in Japan can build 60,000 or 70,000-ton super ships, this gap is very large. Naval bases. In contrast, Japan's economic woes and the potential national workers' and peasants' revolution were the greater threat. Besides, it has always been the Japanese Army and the Navy, and it should be their turn to pit the Army, right?

In fact, even so, the Japanese Navy's military command department still failed to make up its mind, because the main forces of the 15 th Group Army and the two major air forces were all in Qingdao at that time, and after the Japanese Navy attacked Weihaiwei Military Port, the Soviets would certainly ask them for help, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps was far inferior to that of the Japanese Army's field divisions, let alone the 15 th Group Army, and the Japanese Navy might not be able to defeat thousands of fighters of China and the Soviet Union in the skies over Weihaiwei, so the sneak attack would probably become a big talk. At that time, the Americans will certainly abandon Japan without hesitation, and even take the opportunity to fall into the ground, and the Japanese, who have always been afraid of the strong and bullying the weak, know this in their hearts. As a result, it did not take long for Hu Weidong to lead the main force of the 15 th Group Army to leave Qingdao to participate in the Central Plains Battle, and then a civil war broke out between the two Chinese parties, containing the main forces of the 15 th Group Army and the North China Air Corps in the Jianghuai region, and the opportunity that the Japanese Navy had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared

Note 1: After the defeat in World War I, the German government secretly cooperated with the Soviet Union for a long time in order to gain a chance for revival, and it was not until the mustache came to power that the private ties between the two countries were not completely severed, and without this foundation, the two countries would not have reached an agreement to partition Poland so easily.

Note 2: The Japanese Navy has many more people who understand than the Army, and there will be no stupid idea like "one Japanese division can fight three Soviet divisions", and the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in history was also forced by the Army and the economic situation in Japan to no end.
