August 3, 1941, Bald Eagle, Washington

"Damn, they'll regret it!" Mr. President was very angry, just before the outbreak of the war, Bald Eagle tried to introduce the technology of the Lager-3 fighter for research to strengthen his own fighter, although later because of the outstanding performance of the P-39 fighter their need for the Lager-3 is no longer urgent, but this also made the Bald Eagle senior management angry.

"In fact, the alliance has to believe that if they don't believe it, they can only let the western territory fall faster, and the alliance can do without Siberia, but it can't do without the western region." Harry Hopkins said a word to break the helplessness of Comrade Steel.

"Hopkins, will the Japanese give up their southward advance?" Mr. President said after a moment of silence.

"It's unlikely, but it's likely to be delayed, because the Japanese have limited national strength." Harry Hopkins said with some uncertainty.

"If the Japanese don't do it, how are we going to join the war?" Mr. President's biggest concern is that there is no = war with Japan, and the Bald Eagle leadership has long reached a consensus that it is necessary to use this war to obtain greater war dividends, and it is obvious that it cannot be done just by making war money.

"Yes, one or two skirmishes alone won't convince Congress." Harry Hopkins also has no good way, and the national policy of the Japanese is very unpredictable, which makes them feel very ungraspable.

"It's really not possible that the Luzon side will do it, the natives will not only slaughter overseas Chinese, but also the Japanese will be the same, and the Japanese will not be able to fight even if they don't want to fight at that time." Mr. President gave someone a backup plan, and although it was a bit disgraceful, it was the only way to do it when there was no way around.

"Mr. President, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about the war in Luzon, and if something like this happens, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous for our boys." Harry Hopkins knew who came up with the idea as soon as he heard it, and he was so bold that there was no one in the Bald Eagle Army who was more daring than that guy.

"There are always sacrifices in war, and if we bald eagles want to establish the status of a superpower, the cornerstone must be bloody." Mr. President said quietly.

"Mr. President, what if we push for the Japanese to withdraw from China?" Harry Hopkins cautionarily reminded.

"The news from the Tojo Mansion may not be reliable, I am not optimistic about this plan, but it is still possible to consider increasing support for Huaxia, isn't that lady lobbying everywhere? I intend to invite her to sit here and at the same time increase my assistance to them. "Mr. President is unwilling to Japan to easily withdraw from China, although China is weak, but the potential is huge, and there is a mysterious force behind the support, he has to guard against it, subconsciously he always feels that China is more threatening than Japan and Hans.

"Okay, I'll personally convey your goodwill, in that case, does our policy toward Japan need to be adjusted?" Harry Hopkins nodded.

"There is no need to adjust it for the time being, just control some export catalogs, after all, everyone still has to make money, by the way, is there really a problem with the precious metal reserves of the Japanese?" Mr. President is more concerned about the Japanese government's ability to pay.

"The precious metal reserves have indeed been stolen, but the territory controlled by the Japanese is very large, and there are a lot of precious metals that can be grabbed every month, plus the foreign exchange that the Japanese have snatched from China, which can barely meet the payment needs." Harry Hopkins wondered where the Japanese had stolen so much foreign exchange, could it be that it had been stolen from Indochina and Burma?

"Paper money still has to strictly control the exchange rate, and the Britons have no reserves for paper money, right?" Mr. President couldn't help laughing, it has only been a long time, the Britons have exhausted the precious metal reserves accumulated for hundreds of years, not only that, but even many of the minerals in the colonies have been mortgaged to the Bald Eagle Consortium, as the war continues, this situation will become more and more serious, in fact, even if the Britons win the war, it will not be glorious, not to mention that they may not be victorious.

"There are still people who believe more in the national credit of Britain, and although the value of the pound fluctuates, it is not large." Harry Hopkins shook his head slightly, don't look at the Britons fighting in a mess on the battlefield, but the value of the pound is still strong, even more stable than the value of the Reichsmark, which is not in line with normal economic laws at all.

"Just a reminder, there are enough colonies in Britain anyway, it's really not good, we can go and get it back ourselves." The corners of Mr. President's mouth unconsciously hooked again, the Britons have determined that they will downplay their presence in North America, but this is not enough for the bald eagle, there can only be one voice in North America.

"Mr. President, the Intelligence Agency believes that the Bullfighting Nation is likely to attack Gibraltar after another defeat of the British, do we need to respond in advance?" Harry Hopkins asked with some concern, in order to keep the bullfighting country neutral, the bald eagles and the Britons have paid a lot of money, but Gibraltar has always been a thorn in the heart of the bullfighting country, and if it is not properly resolved, the shadow of war will not easily dissipate.

"They don't have that strength, the Britons have been in business for so many years, even if the bullfighting country fights back with the strength of the whole country, they can't gnaw it." Mr. President smiled, they were able to keep the bullfighting country neutral, on the one hand, they made a lot of efforts on their side, and on the other hand, the chips paid by the Hans were not big enough, and the reason why they did not bet heavily was that the combat effectiveness of the bullfighting army was really unattractive to the Hans.

"The one in Rome seems to have taken some interest in Gibraltar lately, and the Noodle Nation Navy has begun to assemble near Gibraltar, and the Noodle Nation Air Force has also begun to concentrate on the Tripoli base, which is not like a simple strategic feint." Harry Hopkins frowned.

"Noodle Country? Isn't their fleet in the Black Sea? "Mr. President was a little surprised, after Alexandria was captured, the noodle country navy suddenly found that it had no opponent in the Mediterranean, so he sent the fleet in his hand to the Black Sea, launched the strangulation of the alliance Black Sea Fleet, and after several major battles, the alliance Black Sea Fleet was beaten to no temper, so that the noodle country felt the feeling of a naval power for the first time, and the Roman one had already shouted the slogan to destroy the Black Sea Fleet within the year, and the noodle country navy actually began to fight the idea of Gibraltar again at this time.

"The Black Sea Fleet of the alliance has been disabled, and it has been blocked in the port by the noodle country's navy and air force, and the noodle country still has the strength to expand its own results." Harry Hopkins feels that the whole world is not real, and the noodle country is actually starting to swell.
