The Germans won, the British lost, and the First World War had reached the end of the stage, while the Americans also had to face the end of one stage and the beginning of another. Compared with the Germans about to end their hardships, the Americans had to face his new challenges. At this time, whether it was Theodore, Roosevelt or Taft, they needed to deal with everything carefully to prevent a very far-reaching impact on the future due to a certain negligence!

At this time, even the most extreme person must be careful. A new world hegemony has risen across the Atlantic Ocean, and in the direction of the Pacific, a hatred that has lasted for decades will eventually be understood! Now, it is the end of the US period of dominance against Germany, and the US government must be careful!

The Americans have not given the British a positive answer, and they have not taken any other actions to Germany except to congratulate Germany on the perspective of the alliance. Because they know that from the moment when the Norwegian Sea Battle ended, American aid is no longer necessary for Germany!

And while taking advantage of this period, Theodore Roosevelt needs to evaluate the future situation with his colleagues as a whole. One very important point is how the German Navy performed in the Norwegian naval battle! Because the combat effectiveness of the German Navy not only determines the direction of the future Pacific War, but also determines the United States' attitude towards Germany! That's right, you read it right, Americans also want to know how big the gap is between the current United States Navy and the world's top navy!

Therefore, in order to obtain sufficient intelligence support, Theodore Roosevelt needed to wait until the return of the US Secretary of the Navy General Benson and General Sims, who participated in the naval battle in person, returned. After the war, Sims and Independence returned to Port Kiel, they immediately wrote the battle report overnight before they could celebrate the victory of the naval battle, and directly followed the European railway line to the west coast of France, and then returned to the United States on a fast cruise. A week later, in the White House conference room, US President Theodore Roosevelt, Vice President Taft, Secretary of State Robert Lanxin, US Secretary of the Navy Benson, and Navy General Sims and others sat together to start discussing the positioning and role of the United States in the upcoming negotiations.

"General Sims, I spent 3 days studying this report and even communicated with the personnel of the Navy. They agreed that this report was suspected of exaggeration. According to the information provided by you and your subordinates, the Germans used only five battleships to sink 21 British battleships. You even mentioned at the end of the report that if it were not for the German Navy's suspicion of water release, the British's warships might not even have double digits. I really find it hard to understand that there was a fierce battleship of millions of tons of warships on both sides, and the Germans actually paid such a small loss." Taft put the report aside and said to Sims. His words were full of doubts and temptations.

"However, this is the case. To some extent, the Spee fleet did not play much role at the end of the battle. The main force of the German High Seas Fleet finally sent only a battleship team to pursue. After returning to the port, my colleagues and I walked around almost all the main ships. They were in a very good condition and could soon recover their combat effectiveness."

"The strength and high quality of the German High Seas Fleet battleship troops are beyond doubt. They have used their brilliant victory in previous naval battles to illustrate everything! And the forward-looking nature of Crown Prince Ruprecht for the development of the naval allowed the German Navy to establish a complete sea-based aviation system as soon as possible. In this naval battle, the concentrated use of a large number of carrier-based aircraft played a very important role in the rapid collapse of the main force of the British large fleet. In a very short time, the British large fleet was sunk three battleships and injured several of them. This reduction of personnel was too fast!"

"So, I think the strength of the German high seas fleet is a system victory. The high seas fleet has its own unique features in terms of battleships, aircraft carriers, light cruisers and destroyers! While the frontal warfare is extremely powerful, the Germans have a large number of submarines to block the opponents. The Germans' strangulation operations are also systematic. The land command organization, the use of submarines and supply submarines, and the developed intelligence network make the hunting of submarines very efficient. These things are enough for the US Navy to study for 20 years!"

Sims said excitedly. Only after observing closely and participating in the battle can Sims realize the power of the High Seas Fleet, the system and the huge combat power brought by the collaborative cooperation of elite warships! This is what the US fleet does not currently have, and many of them must start from scratch!

For example, the American submarine force now says it is okay to go out to try your luck, but how to cooperate with the command center to hunt together should be washed and sleep. Not to mention anything else, the Eniger cipher machine used by German submarines is not equipped with the US Navy! This thing is quite a BT thing in the era of World War 1! With this cipher machine, it can almost be kept 100% confidential to the information!

"General Sims's speech was a bit pessimistic." Taft frowned and said.

"But it basically conforms to reality. Among the world's great powers, only the United States Navy has not experienced large-scale actual combat. There are indeed many things we need to learn." General Benson said on the side.

"Haha." Taft suddenly felt speechless. Although the United States is a civil servant politics, it depends on the generals of the army when it comes to war. After Benson and Sims walked around the European battlefield, their tendency to worship Germany became stronger and stronger, which made Taft feel speechless.

"The Pacific War against Japan must be won," Roosevelt said slowly. "So, I think we should mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, even if these forces may come from our former enemies."

"The British have lost. Without us, the German military boots could step onto the British mainland. So, in this case, the British will give us the last little interest in their pockets to us without reservation in exchange for the continuation of the country. So, we have an idea if we can use British bases in the Pacific, such as Australia and parts of Guinea. This will give us a great advantage, right? We are equivalent to fighting the Japanese at our doorstep." Roosevelt said.
