"Since the outbreak of the Far East, the Axis Group led by Germany and Austria has clearly stood on the side of the Chinese. They allowed the Chinese to issue billions of dollars in war bonds in Europe to purchase their industrial products, arms and machines. ~ The Axis Group took the opportunity to control the entire Chinese politics, military and economy, thus excluding the United States, Britain and other countries from the Chinese market. Washington has always suspected that it contains secret agreements... In the Western Pacific region, China has completely turned to the Allies Group, and the Germans are using the Chinese to expand in this region, which may directly threaten the interests and security of the United States in Asia..."

Christian Monitor, November 7, 1937, "Watching the Dragon and the Eagle"

In the oval office of the White House.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Roosevelt turned around and stared at the large world map hanging on the wall behind him, frowned slightly. The results of the European war and the "Madrid Treaty" were not the result that the United States wanted to see. The British were declining, but the fruits that fell from their hands were stolen by the Germans. The whole Europe was basically dominated by the German-Austrian group, and they also got large colonies in Africa, and the entire national strength was even stronger than before the war.

While the Far East was in war, the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean was still struggling in the Great Depression. The British used their extensive colonial system to build high tariff barriers, while Germany and Austria, the Axis that controlled Europe, used the Europe they controlled. South America and China markets began a full economic recovery as early as 1934.

But what about the United States? It got almost nothing in the European war and was still excluded from European affairs. Moreover, in the South American and Asian markets, the Germans gradually eroded the US and British markets with their technological advantages, and the contradictions between the two sides became increasingly acute.

After the economic crisis in 1929, the US economy has been in a sluggish Great Depression. The recovery is weak, and the so-called "Roosevelt New Deal" is just a propaganda method to deceive others. However, the export of nearly 2 billion US dollars of industrial products to Russia each year slightly eased the domestic crisis. Especially since the beginning of the war in the Far East, a large number of industrial product orders from the Soviet Union and Japan finally made the US economy sluggish. According to economic statistics in the third quarter, US industrial production increased by 18% compared with the second quarter. This was simply a leap forward.

"Mr. President, the Japanese envoys have arrived in Washington, and they hope to issue war bonds in the United States and Britain, just like they did during the Russo-Japanese War." Secretary of State Hull said in a plain tone. "Bankers are somewhat interested in this, but most members of Congress are opposed to this, believing that we should not be involved in the conflict in the Far East."

In fact, the United States has a contradictory mentality about the war in the Far East. If the Japanese and Russians divide China again, they will immediately become the United States' biggest opponent in the Pacific. On the other hand, the Americans do not want to see China's rise, and to a certain extent, they regard the Japanese as the best tool to restrain China.

In fact, Japan is indeed playing such a role. If it weren't for the support of the Russians and the Americans behind them, in the face of the warnings of Germany and Austria, the Japanese would definitely not have launched a rash attack on China.

The Japanese ambition was to control the Manchuria and Mongolia in the Far East. This was their pedal toward the mainland. The Japanese have been promoting that these places never belonged to China, and that the Chinese have lived in the Great Wall since ancient times. These territories are gifts given to the Japanese by God.

The problem is that except for the Japanese themselves, the whole world does not recognize the Japanese statement.

The Chinese took advantage of the Russian civil strife to regain a large part of the territory that was robbed by the Tsar in the past. But now the Red regime has only been a military power in just fifteen years. Although this achievement was achieved on the basis of fully exploiting workers and peasants, many people are still particularly interested in the development of the Red regime and believe that the Russians are on a road to success.

"Parliament sometimes makes mistakes. Just like everyone. Most members of the parliament have sympathy for the Chinese experience, but the problem is that that country is controlled by Germany and Austria, which will become a big obstacle to our global strategy in the future. If the United States wants to develop better, it needs more markets, but you look at the whole world. Half is controlled by the British, and the other half is in the hands of the Germans. No one cares about our so-called "interest-sharing" policy, and no one cares about the voice of the United States. They are using high tariff barriers to exclude the United States from the global market." Roosevelt said slowly, "We need to change the pattern of the world again. This war is the best opportunity."

"The Russians want to exchange their ores and raw materials for our machines and even arms. I think this is a reasonable trade and there should be no restrictions on such trade. On the contrary, we should encourage such trade." Hopkins, who sat on a chair next to his desk, said, "He is the president's chief adviser and has always regarded Germany as the biggest obstacle to the rise of the United States and encouraged the president to strengthen cooperation with Russia.

Hopkins has always believed that Russia is the hope of the United States to control Europe, and the Juyashvili regime has been resentful of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, which caused them to lose Lithuania, half Latvia and half Belarus, Germany's East Prussia territory tripled, and the Austrians invaded all the territory on the right bank of the Transnistria and the Crimean Peninsula.

In the European War, the Russians lost Poland, Ukraine, the lower Donets-Don River, the Caucasus and the Far East. In his speech, Zhuyashvili had talked several times about the restoration of the Tsar's territory. In the name of ideology, military operations in the Far East were just a beginning and experiment, and soon, Europe would rekindle the war.

It is also an opportunity for the United States to make the Russians strong enough.

Therefore, since 1931, the United States has exported hundreds of thousands of machine tools and a large number of industrial and mining machinery to Russia, and helped the Russians establish dozens of large factories closely related to the military industry. Now the Russians' industrial capacity has surpassed Britain and become the fourth largest industrial country after the United States, Germany and Austria. The Russians have enough resources to exchange a large number of machines and machinery from the United States, which is also what Americans need the most.

Now exports to the Soviet Union account for 18% of the total exports of the United States, and half of the exports of machines occupy a very important position.

Hopkins is the representative of the politicians in Washington. This force has received strong support from arms dealers and bankers. Of course, in his opinion, his slap is somewhat related to commercial factors. In fact, many slap parties are disgusted with China. In fact, most of the anti-German forces in the United States are for commercial interests. Just like the "pro-Japanese faction" with a certain force in Washington, it is also because of product export factors.
