"Mr. Ambassador. Guf, the special envoy of the Head of State Akado, has just left the United States for less than a month. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so anxious to come to you to talk about these issues at this moment, but the cooperation between Germany and Turkey in the Middle East has made us deeply uneasy." As soon as we met, President Roosevelt of the United States expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation in the Middle East directly.

The German ambassador of course came prepared and had already informed the important diplomatic official of his position. So the German ambassador immediately replied to Roosevelt: "Mr. President, Germany is not interested in the interests of the United States in the Middle East. We are just working for world peace."

Roosevelt wanted to slap the table and tell the German ambassador loudly, "You are starting a war!" But he finally gave up the useless hysterical roar: "I only saw a new war, and I did not see Germany having the idea of ​​ending the war."

"Mr. President, Germany originally hoped to achieve peace with the Soviet Union in the west and Britain in the east. You also saw that both the defeated Vichy France and the northern Britain had signed a peace treaty with Germany." The German ambassador replied: "But the Soviet Stalin government and the former British royal family in Iceland refused to hold peace talks with Germany, which made the head of state deeply worried about the war situation facing Germany."

"You know that we are a peace-loving nation. In order to achieve peace, we have to strengthen our attack on the British colonies in the Middle East that support the British royal family in Iceland, so that the war will end more quickly." Finally, after more than half an hour of discussion, the German ambassador summarized the difficulties of the German people in expanding the war.

You invaded Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, France, Britain... You have reaped all the benefits and almost eliminated the threats. Now you say you don't want to play anymore, want peace? When did you Germans become so shameless? Ah?

After cursing indignantly, US President Roosevelt finally had the opportunity to speak: "But your provocation of war in the Middle East will affect the US oil extraction, which may affect the friendly relations between Germany and the United States! Germany has already made enemies on all sides. I believe Yuan Sheng is unwilling to see the United States become the enemy of Germany, right?"

"Of course! Mr. President!" The German ambassador nodded in agreement with Roosevelt: "The German government never thought of being an enemy of the United States. Both of us are rich and powerful countries. The war between us is enough to collapse the world system. This is obviously a very unwise decision."

"So, Mr. Ambassador, our United States attaches great importance to the stability of the Middle East, which is also the common interest between Germany and the United States." Roosevelt thought for a while and said, "If I can convince some local Arabs to sell part of the oil to Germany and ensure that the oil can be shipped to Germany, can the situation in the Middle East maintain the status quo?"

The German ambassador seemed embarrassed. He obviously did not receive any instructions on the actions of the United States after the compromise. However, he still showed his negotiating skills and played the "drag" card and said to Roosevelt: "I have to ask the country before I can answer you. I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Roosevelt nodded. The US compromise was a temporary decision of Congress. The plan he had been leading to use Britain to restrict Germany to collapse. There were many discordant voices in Congress, which were intensifying and gradually gaining the strength to challenge Roosevelt's alliance with the Jews.

This includes the Nazi Party of the United States, some isolationists, and even many hostile parties. They look at Germany-US relations from another perspective and feel that even a strong Germany will not be a concern in the future. They are confident in the economic advantages of the United States and feel that it is very unwise to be involved in a war with unknown outcomes at this time. Unfortunately, this argument has received support from the majority of the people, who believe that the United States should not be involved in the war in Europe again.

In fact, not all of the US investments have returned. The Roosevelt regime's aid to Britain's tanks, aircraft and even warships have exchanged for many overseas military bases that originally belonged to Britain. These bases allow the United States to maintain an international status relative to its advantage in the future.

However, Britain's national strength seems to have been drained recently, and the British government can no longer effectively exercise its absolute control over the colony. Some methods that rely on selling colonial privileges in exchange for US aid have not been very useful in the past two months. But on the other hand, the US "volunteer army"'s combat in North Africa is like a bottomless pit. Every month it consumes oil mined from the Middle East, and requires domestic military factories to produce tanks and aircraft to supplement it. Taking the Battle of Tobrook as an example, Patton wiped out 400 tanks in one go, all of which must be replenished from the United States to the North African battlefield.

In this way, there are different voices in the United States: If Germany guarantees the US oil interests in the Middle East, then why should we help the British and German troops fight to the death in North Africa? Is it definitely better to suppress the benefits obtained by Germany and the United States in peace?

Roosevelt was completely dragged down by this short-sighted argument. This practice of only looking at immediate interests is simply self-deception. Unlike the United States, Germany is a mainland country. Once its once tragic geographical location opens up, it will have many benefits - this country's connection with Asia, Africa and Europe is naturally much closer than that of the United States.

It doesn’t take Germany to do anything deliberately, the steel axis will isolate the United States from the mainstream international environment. Then, what can the United States do if they don’t bring the United States to play? The strength of North and South America starts war on the entire Asia, Africa and Europe? That’s when they really fall into a war that is evenly matched.

Now that war is going on with Germany, it is just right to "take his life while he is sick", but those idiots in Congress are thinking about how to draw a clear line with the British royal family in Iceland and establish a stable cooperative relationship with the powerful Germany.

Although many knowledgeable people still support Roosevelt, and the United States' arms and equipment are still being transported to North Africa, Roosevelt felt resistance and felt that he was unable to do so. If this continues, as long as Germany establishes a strategic advantage in North Africa and takes in the Mediterranean and the Balkans, the United States will almost be kicked out of the international situation in advance. At that time, the real tragedy will reach the extreme.

Of course, the investment in the Soviet Union obviously did not get the return it deserved. Although the Soviet Union transported a large amount of raw materials to the Alaska region of the United States through trade, a lot of military aid was not transported to the front line, and the Soviet Union did not play a strategic purpose of restraining the German army on the front battlefield.

In other words, the current hidden alliance between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, only the United States has always been taking on the role of consumption. This is obviously not the situation Roosevelt hopes to see. He hopes to consume the strategic resources of the German army on various battlefields, rather than using the United States' own strategic resources to fill in the two bottomless pits of the Soviet Union and Britain.

Now Germany has extended the claws of war to the Middle East dominated by the United States. This move that would have definitely made American capitalists furious in the past was actually endured by American capitalists. They actually decided to use part of the compromise in exchange for Germany's concessions. This is obviously to express their dissatisfaction with the United States' strategy of supporting allies. If you support the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union in such a way that you only see the investment but no return, we will be bored!

"Send a telegram to the British royal family. We will take a full defensive posture in North Africa." Roosevelt thought of this and said helplessly to the secretary behind him: "The assistance to the Soviet Union has also been suspended and told Stalin that he can't afford such a way of playing now."

"If it really doesn't work, transfer Patton over!" He then added: "We must act on the fundamental interests of the United States as the premise... The production of oil in the Middle East must be ensured! One of our divisions will be transported to the Middle East and strengthen the guarding forces there! Be careful of the Turks."

This is Roosevelt's countermeasure after careful consideration. He decided to shrink the United States' investment in North Africa and the Soviet Union and strengthen the United States' strength in the Middle East. Without expanding U.S. spending, he strengthened the United States' control over the Middle East oil-producing areas and its defensive capabilities in disguise.

At this time, he no longer considered when the United States would participate in the war. He is now working hard to maintain the existing international situation to ensure that the United States will not be driven out of the entire world war by Germany's quick battle. He is a little reluctant to leave now, just gritting his teeth and waiting for a huge change in the international situation.

Both sides are still waiting for an opportunity. If Germany takes action in the Middle East first and wins in North Africa, then the United States will be eliminated and Germany will directly win the world war. Of course, if the United States gets the opportunity to join the war in advance, then Roosevelt will win, the United States will be involved in the war, and the world situation will become more depressing.

Roosevelt was betting that he did not think that the United States was out of trouble was a long-term solution. He felt that the United States was involved in the world war. This was the common idea of ​​him and many people behind him. They firmly believed that the United States would become the future world leader, rather than the lonely ghosts squeezed out of the world circle.
