Chapter 2269    Reality and Future     1   (Page 1/1)

Roosevelt's words are rough and not rough. As allies between countries, they must also pay attention to identity equality, at least they have greater common interests, otherwise it is the relationship between the eldest and the younger brother. The current situation is definitely a thankless ally for the United States, because only after the Americans help Britain resist the pressure from Germany and at the same time, they will cooperate with the Americans after helping Britain overcome difficulties economically. But there is no doubt that the efforts of Americans are definitely astronomical! And what can Americans get? Roosevelt doesn't know what Germany will do, but he can be sure that if the current US government wants to form an alliance with Britain, it will definitely be a disaster for the United States!

And the most important thing is that the Germans have the capital to overturn the table, but the Americans don’t! Even if everyone really gets up, the Americans still want to run across the Atlantic Ocean to fight the German Navy and Air Force at the gate of Europe? What do you think?! Even if Germany is a little embarrassed now, even if there is a bit of chaos inside, the war is absolutely unambiguous! Look at the British fleet, it took only a few hours to fight the final decisive battle? Where did the Americans get the confidence to fight head-on with the German fleet?

Of course, in addition to the strategic point of view, it is inappropriate for the United States and the current Britain to confirm the alliance, Roosevelt's resentment towards the British is also an important reason. After all, the Battle of the Philippines was the first foreign war he presided over, but it failed because of the British behind the scenes. This was an eternal pain for Roosevelt. He felt deeply guilty about his past mistakes, so in terms of relationships, Roosevelt would never let the UK go easily, not to mention that when this guy came on stage, he played the card of revenge against Britain and Japan.

Judging from the current situation, the Americans are actually in a very good situation. They use the war period to do business between the allies and the Allied Powers. The trade system of Britain, France and Germany, which was originally spread throughout the world, shrinks rapidly with the beginning of the war. The Americans and the Japanese eat a large amount of high-quality assets at a very small price. The United States has become the largest debtor country in the world. It can also use the previous signing of the treaty to obtain some trade conveniences from the Germans. These benefits are tangible. The war in Europe has greatly promoted the development of the United States' industry and economy...

At this time, the more conservative people were thinking about how to maintain this situation, maintain a relatively good relationship with Germany, and then successfully overcome the subsequent Pacific War stage. And the more radicals? They thought that now other powerful powers in the world are exhausted, so can the United States of America, which is unique, take the opportunity to dominate and reach the peak of the world?

For those who have this idea, Roosevelt can only say that the drawings are broken! As Ruprecht said, it is certainly not possible to have no money, but money is not omnipotent, and money alone cannot be used... The current weakness of the United States' force and the upcoming war have made the United States choose a relatively safe path. After all, if the Americans lose another war this time, it is probably in the eyes of the European powers that the United States will completely become an "economic animal"! In this era, if you can't fight, what's the use of having money?

It is true that as a leader of the country, it is true that everything has a degree. You are foresighted when you look at one step, and you are foresight when you look at two steps, but seeing it does not mean that you have to do it now! Because the future situation is different from the present, it is certainly a mistake to do what happened yesterday today, but if you want to do what you have acquired today, it is also wrong! This is like in history, the Americans had already realized the issue of the post-war battle between the United States and the Soviet Union before the end of World War II, but before the Axis Group was eliminated, the Americans still maintained a very close and friendly relationship with the Soviet Union. This can illustrate the problem.

As for why Taft and Lanxin were willing to choose to be close to Britain, there is also a reason. First of all, Taft and Lanxin were very disliked the constitution of a federal monarch like Germany. In fact, Roosevelt was the same at the beginning, but later he was forced to change after being "educated" by the British.

Secondly, Taft is an advocate and executor of "Gold-Dollar Diplomacy". He has always believed that money is sometimes better than bullets, and supports the government to provide loans to capitalists and go out. Therefore, he is too confident in the US dollar and despises military power, which also leads to his misjudgment of the situation. On this issue, Theodore Roosevelt will not make any mistakes because he has experienced war!

What about Robert Lanxin? As Secretary of State, diplomatic work is his business. In fact, the United States is actually very isolated now. The failure of the United States in previous international conflicts has told the Americans that there is no future to work alone... Even if it is as strong as Britain and Germany, it also needs the help of allies. Unfortunately, the United States only has two allies, Germany and Austria, and the others are enemies... and Lanxin himself is still wary of the relationship between the United States and Germany, so in this case, he is eager to make breakthroughs in other fields! So in Lanxin's view, if the British-Japanese alliance is disbanded and the United Kingdom is allowed to apologize to the Americans, it is very good to take the opportunity to establish a closer relationship between the United States and Britain.

In fact, Roosevelt supported this point more. He agreed to gradually improve relations with the British, but the premise was that the British must provide sufficient compensation for previous mistakes! The humiliation of the United States of America cannot be just like this! Otherwise, what is the face of the United States? In order to improve relations with the British, Roosevelt's definition of this issue can only be normal economic exchanges. You can borrow money, but you must exchange it with equal interests. This relationship should not be political. After all, the relationship between the United States and Germany is the most important now.

At this point, Roosevelt had actually taken the initiative, because everything he said was indeed the safest choice for the United States at present. Even if Taft and Lanxin insisted on forming an alliance against Britain and putting pressure on Germany, Roosevelt could use his position and Congress to completely reject the ideas of Taft and others. Therefore, no matter what Taft or Lanxin thought, the result was actually confirmed...

But Roosevelt’s cleverness is that he fought and pulled the two of them. While extinguishing some unrealistic ideas from the other party, he also showed an attitude of willingness to listen to the other party’s opinions. Regardless of whether Roosevelt will do it in the end, this attitude can greatly ease the relationship between him and the two of them. It creates a good condition for internal unity and efficient operation.
