Chapter 2151 Double Anchor Policy 3
"There will be opposition, but it won't be very big." Roosevelt said and raised his first finger: "The Tsarist Russian government has fallen, and the future will be established will be a brand new Russian government. From this perspective, Germany has no reason to continue the war. After all, Germany cannot completely swallow Russia, and Russia does not have the ability to regain its territory. When neither side can completely defeat its opponent, the possibility of a hard confrontation directly breaking out is not high. As for Russia's hatred of Germany? This will definitely continue, but it will definitely not break out now!"
"But Britain is different. The British were not completely defeated. They still had a strong fleet, colonies all over the world, and had the basis for a comeback. Russia cannot see this for the time being, so Germany is definitely much more sensitive to Britain than to Russia."
"Second point." Roosevelt extended his second finger and said: "Germany needs a market in the Far East, not only Southeast Asia but also East Asia. We can only solve the problem of the Southeast Asian market at most. To solve the East Asian market, we must speak with the army. Germany cannot use the army in large quantities. Then a spokesperson needs to hit the Japanese hard on land. Therefore, the confrontation between the Russian army and the Japanese army is beneficial to Germany, and to some extent, Germany will support Russia!"
"The third point is that Russia is a double-headed eagle. They look at Europe and Asia. Whether Europe faces Germany or Asia faces Japan, Russia is at a disadvantage. Russia is enemies on both sides of the east and west sides. Therefore, whether it is the final establishment of a new Russian regime, they must be friendly with us. Only we can help them, and they will fight for us!" Roosevelt said proudly.
"This is a good idea, at least we have a relatively reliable ally. Let us not be isolated in Europe," Taft said after thinking about it.
"However, our partner selection is also a problem. The situation in Russia is very complicated, with the Bolsheviks, Kolchaks, and some anarchists. Who do we choose? How can we get in touch with them?" asked Robert Lanxin.
"We choose whoever the Germans choose to reach an agreement with," said Roosevelt. "Germany will only eventually reach a treaty with the winners in Russia. Before that, we cannot cross Germany and Russia, but it doesn't matter. No matter who Russia wins, they must go to war with the Japanese in the Far East unless the Japanese themselves withdraw from Russian territory."
Is it important for who is in power in Russia? In fact, it is really not important for the United States. What Roosevelt needs is that the Russians can provide the army, restrain Japan, and complete this task. As for ideology, Germany and the United States are different. How can I say it? There is only eternal interests but no eternal friends! Russia that can cooperate with the American strategy is a good Russia!
"Then General Pershing and General Benson, how do you two judge this plan?" Roosevelt saw that the government's problems had been resolved, so he asked the two US military representatives.
"This is a new battlefield and there is no conflict with our original plan in the Pacific, so we agree with the President's plan." Pershing glanced at Benson, who did not mean to object, so Pershing agreed with Roosevelt's plan.
"In this way, we will have two allies in the Far East in the future. At sea, the United States Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet set out from Pearl Harbor and attacked Guinea Island. In East Asia, the Russian army will launch an attack on the Japanese army in the Far East. If the latter goes well, we can even drive Japan's military and political influence out of Southeast Asia!"
"We take a two-pronged approach, Germany and Russia will be the double anchors of the United States of America's cruise ship entering the Far East! With these two anchors, we will definitely win in the end, and we don't even have to care about the attitude of Britain and France in this war." Roosevelt finally made up his plan.
"So what about our attitude towards Russia after the war?" Taft asked.
"We will persuade Russia to calmly treat the contradictions and problems between Germany and Russia. What Russia needs is development. We can provide them with financial and technical support in exchange for their support for us in the Far East and Europe. Of course, if we have to fight to the death with the Germans, Russia will play the same role in their war - helping us to restrain a considerable number of the army forces of the allied countries." Roosevelt said.
"Even if we choose Russians as our allies, we must consider the British issue. So what is our bottom line on the British issue?" asked Robert Lanxin.
"We don't need to consider this issue. The Germans would not kill the British with one blow. They were also worried that after the British collapse, we would inherit most of the British legacy. Sometimes the war was not for the purpose of killing the enemy. I guess the Germans just wanted some colonies and compensation. According to the information we collected before, if the Germans just wanted southern Africa and added a certain amount of compensation, then we should not interfere." Roosevelt said.
"It is said that the British delegation will set out again to negotiate with the Germans?" Taft said: "Do you think the negotiation will be completed this time? What are the consequences if it cannot be reached?"
"If the negotiation cannot be reached, the Germans will probably attack the large fleet!" said Roosevelt.
"Will that crown prince go to the battlefield in person?" Taft said with some intention.
"Maybe. But don't have too many ideas. From the perspective of the country, if we can do the first day of the lunar calendar, they can be fifteen. From the perspective of the individual, he will eventually rule an empire and a kingdom. We cannot be president for the rest of our lives. President Lincoln will be assassinated during his term of office. So it is probably nothing to die a few retired government officials?" Roosevelt said with some meaning.
"We may get into evil in the future, but we are allies at the moment, so we'd better not do anything too much. At least, the army and the navy will not ask the Germans for some information beyond the scope." General Pershing said solemnly, and his eyes looking at Taft also contained a hint of disgust. Everyone knows the subtext of Taft - if Ruprecht could die on the battlefield, it seems to be a good thing for the Americans?
