Chapter 574: Out of Control (Part II)

But in any case, Roosevelt basically achieved his goal in history, Britain was completely crippled in World War II, the Soviet Union was also greatly damaged, and the United States became the undisputed shijie hegemon. But in this time and space, Roosevelt now discovers with concern that there are far more variables than he expected, and in a sense, the situation in Shijie has completely gotten out of control

First, the unexpectedly rapid rise of Red China not only defeated Japan alone, but also forced Japan to sign the Castle Alliance, thus recovering all the lost territory, and through the incredibly rapid industrialization, it became a Shijie power that no one dared to insult (Note 1), so that the United States had to deliberately pull the Sino-Japanese War sideways, and after China "invaded" the Indochina Peninsula in retaliation for Britain's intervention in the Chinese Civil War, it imposed severe economic sanctions on Red China to curb China's rapid development. Even so, he was severely struck by China, which made Roosevelt grit his teeth when he thought about it.

As a result of Hu Weidong's new method of industrial management, the industrial labor productivity of all countries has increased significantly compared with history, resulting in a significant decline in the advantages of the United States in this regard, and the advantages of industrial strength have also been reduced by at least two or three percent; The discovery of so many mineral deposits in Europe and Asia by Chinese geologists (in fact, Hu Weidong contributed more) has relatively weakened the overwhelming superiority of the United States in terms of resources, and strengthened the ability of the Eurasian powers, especially Germany, to fight for a long time.

As for the fact that Krim's release from prison would cause a storm that would sweep North Africa and the Middle East, Roosevelt did not expect it, and it must be admitted. The timing of this guy's escape from prison was too coincidental to coincide with the German invasion of Western Europe, and Kerim seized the opportunity to forge a "Second Arab Empire" (as the Western media often calls it) across Europe and Asia.

The emergence of the Arab Federation and the League of Islamic States not only inflicted heavy losses on the British colonial army, but also caused Britain to lose a large number of colonies, and almost cut off the British mainland from the most important colony, India, and at the same time further magnified the German army's superiority in the Western European battlefield, making the momentum of the Axis more and more vigorous, so that some of the original snakes and rats at both ends of the wall grass have also joined the Axis camp. The decline of the allies is becoming more and more obvious. What's more, there is a new regional power alone. For Roosevelt, who was bent on letting the United States dominate Shijie, it was never a good thing

Although China has not yet joined the Axis camp, they have carried out extremely in-depth cooperation with Germany, not only through Jishu exchanges and military exchanges to make the German army's weapons and equipment more advanced, but also more reasonable and flexible in strategy and tactics. He also launched a ferocious attack directly on the Asian colonies of Britain and France. Germany was strongly supported. It also further enhanced its national strength, and once the Chinese occupied India again, on the one hand, the probability of British surrender to Germany increased greatly. On the other hand, China itself will become stronger, which the United States does not want to see.

In fact, it is not only the United States that does not want to see this scene, the party and government of the Soviet Union are no different from the position of the Americans in this regard, but because the Soviet Union is sandwiched between Germany and China, once the attitude is too fierce and China, which is still half an ally, is forced into the camp of the Axis powers, when the time comes, the two countries will be caught between the east and the west, even if they are as confident as Stalin, they are not sure that they will be able to withstand it, and the Soviet Union's trust in the US government is not as good as China's. Therefore, although the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Soviet government openly expressed the hope that China and Britain would cease the war at an early date and achieve peace, their wording was very conciliatory, so this evil man could only be done by the United States

Although Roosevelt never had the intention of starting a war with China, nor did he have the power to formally declare war (unless passed by Congress), it was still possible to mobilize troops to exert pressure on China, in fact, the United States had strengthened its sea and air forces in the South China Sea before, and strictly forbade Chinese ships to cross the South Sea Islands to approach Australia, so as not to send these two elites to help Britain and cause the Commonwealth countries to be attacked by the Chinese army, you must know that because of Britain, They were all at war with China at the time. Australia and New Zealand are both industrial countries and rich in resources, and if they fall into the hands of the Chinese, the consequences can be unimaginable. Even a mere attempt to withdraw from the Commonwealth for the sake of self-preservation could lead to Britain losing confidence in fighting Germany to the end and surrendering to it, which Roosevelt did not want to see

Such an attitude has actually violated the principle of neutrality, and how to be tougher on China on this basis without forcing the Chinese to completely fall into the Axis camp really gave Roosevelt a headache. As one of the few China experts in the United States, Roosevelt was well aware of the huge potential of this ancient country, and China's rapid development in the past few years has strengthened his judgment. However, Germany and the Soviet Union have become far more powerful than expected, and the national strength and military strength of New China itself are not weak, judging from the tenacity and unyielding of the Red Party, they will never compromise and surrender to foreign invaders, and even if the United States goes all out to attack China, it will only fall into the vast sea of people's war and will not be able to get out, and when the time comes, it will make the two fierce enemies of Germany and the Soviet Union become fishermen, which is really not cost-effective. Otherwise, Roosevelt actually wanted to prevent trouble before it happens, and strangle the rapidly rising red China in its infancy

In fact, if the United States can join forces with the Soviet Union, and at any cost, it is possible to conquer China, the Soviet Union has a population of 190 million at this time, plus the United States 130 million, both countries are industrial countries, the quality of the population is higher, once the United States joins forces, China can not even fight for human life. Moreover, the Soviet Army is super strong, it is adjacent to China, and there are still many problems left over from history that have not been dealt with, so it is naturally the country with the greatest potential threat to China, but this idea is simply impossible to realize

Note 1: During World War II, most of the colonies have not been liberated, in fact, the standards of the great powers are not high, the first-class powers are so the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and Britain 4, France, Japan, Italy and Italy are between the first-class powers and the second-class powers, the Netherlands, Spain and the like are the second-class powers, and now China's military strength is at least not inferior to Italy, our army is strong, the Italian navy is strong, and the air force strength of the two countries is getting closer and closer, and the national strength is even higher than it, because in 1941, China's total industrial output value even surpassed that of Italy ( To be continued ......)
