The Rise of the Empire

"I..." After hesitating for 2 minutes, Roosevelt froze and didn't say a word, because he didn't know how to answer the old friend in front of him who ruined his reputation for helping him. There was only one reason why Roosevelt was hesitant, and that was the fear of the rise of Germany. Germany was different from the United States. Rich resources. But Germany is different! This country is terrible, but it is only 500,000 square kilometers, which is the area of ​​1 to 2 states in the United States. As a result, it has become the second largest industry in the world. And it also has a huge military power.

Of course, Roosevelt is just thinking about it now, and even he himself has great doubts about this judgment. He thinks more about what to do if Germany goes up and is beaten down by the Allies... This is also the question that most high-level US officials think about, otherwise they would not have proposed this so-called aid plan. The vast majority of American politicians hope that this melee among European powers can last longer...  Just imagine, how can a person who can't even convince himself persuade others?

"We have tried for a whole generation to get the U.S. Navy out of the Americas and into the world. However, a dozen warships and the hard work and blood of tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers could not return a foothold in the Far East. Now, an excellent Opportunities are in front of us. As long as you nod your head and pay a negligible price, we can gain an unshakable fortress in the Far East! The entire Kaiser Wilhelm territory and the Bismarck Islands are ours! Tell me Roosevelt, why are you And hesitate?" Simpson adjusted himself and continued to ask.

"I'm just worried about a superpower in Europe," Roosevelt said.

"Isn't France powerful during the time of Emperor Napoleon? What does it have to do with us? In the end, it wasn't the British who burned the naval base on the Great Lakes at our doorstep. By the way, there was the White House later?" Simpson sneered: "Or , do you think that Britain is not a superpower now. It is a good thing for us that a big country is willing to limit its power to Europe and Africa, can Germany become another empire on which the sun never sets?"

"Germany will not become the new empire on which the sun never sets. He has withdrawn his power from the Far East. The Americas are contested by us and the British. During the war, we can completely overwhelm the British forces in America. Africa is too far away It's too barren, and we don't need to work hard." Roosevelt said.

"We can get huge benefits just by providing loans, and there is almost no risk. Even if Germany fails, we only get a little less, and if Germany wins, we will completely gain a foothold in the Far East, that one ****'s reputation is still good, at least he will not break his promise. And this time he is the special envoy of the Kaiser, with the endorsement of the German government." Simpson paused and continued.

"Although I heard that the Germans want us to use part of the gold to pay the bill, it is understandable to think about it. Once the war starts, even if they can break the British blockade, the only thing that can be exchanged is precious metals. Sooner or later they will return The United States of America, and the British also need to buy goods from the United States, and they also have to pay for precious metals. Our financial security will not be affected in any way."

"Your old friends, such as William Rufus Day, they all hope that you can have a good relationship with the Germans, and they even asked me to send you a letter. I hope you can seriously consider their opinions. "Speaking of Simpson said a letter to Roosevelt.

Day, letter? ! A dangerous thing immediately popped up in Roosevelt's mind! Just at this time,

Simpson added another sentence, and Mr. Wilson, I remember that you seem to have worked together, he asked me to bring you a message, he said that he hoped that the friendship between Virtue and Virtue would continue, and not appear because of a small problem Twists and turns, after all, the fault tolerance rate of some things is very low.

What the hell does that mean? Roosevelt was really scared this time! Compared with others, Simpson is more pure, he is a soldier, and his identity as a politician is less. This kind of person is easier to fool. Come here to express your opinion or be soft and say that you can think about it, and maybe you can send this plague god away. But the two people behind are not free. One is the Secretary of State of the United States, and the other is the future president of the United States. Is this kind of person easy to fool?

Listening to Wilson's threatening words, Roosevelt didn't need to read Day's letter to know what the other party wanted to say, because they all had black histories and belonged to "traitors" together. There are not many, but there are too many people behind them. If this matter is found out, not one or two will die! It is impossible for powerful people to fight against political parties and financial groups. Especially His Royal Highness who came to negotiate this time has a full set of evidence for them. In other words, if a certain step is really reached, let alone whether the negotiation can be negotiated, it is probably not a big problem to ruin yourself in minutes ....

"Let me think about it, I am not against the approach of virtue, I just want the United States to gain greater good for less. Believe me, Wilson, I hate the British and Japanese more than you do." For Roosevelt naturally had to dismiss the person in front of him for things that required careful consideration.

"Then you need to be quick, because people including your good friend William Howard Tuff will also come here to persuade you. They hope you can solve this problem cleanly. It is inappropriate to hesitate at this time Simpson is already at home, so it is naturally impossible to force Roosevelt to make a decision on the spot, let the other party loose, and carefully consider the gains and losses in it.

"I will seriously consider this opinion." Roosevelt said haggardly. If the negotiation between Mr. Ruprecht and him made him feel tricky, and the huge pressure brought by the combination of Congress and the consortium made him a little breathless, then after the arrival of the current Vice Admiral Simpson, Roosevelt finally realized He couldn't support himself anymore. To some extent, he had reached the verge of betrayal, and maybe he would take another step forward. You will fall into the abyss yourself.

There is no politician who does not care about his own political life, and there is no politician who does not cherish his feathers like a peacock. Especially when he was not sure whether his ideas were correct, especially when he was sure that the United States would indeed gain considerable benefits, Roosevelt finally decided to give in, and he found countless reasons for himself. Each is very reasonable, such as finding a foothold for the United States in Asia, such as borrowing the power of Germany to attack Britain and France. But none of this can conceal the essence of his retreat!
