"I..." After hesitating for 2 minutes, Roosevelt didn't say a word, because he didn't know how to answer the old friend who was ruined to help him. The only reason why Roosevelt hesitated was only one, that is, the horror of the rise of Germany. Germany is different from the United States. The United States has all the factors for the rise of a country, a peaceful and stable environment, a vast territory, a moderate population, and a rich resource. But Germany is different! This country is so terrible, with only 500,000 square kilometers, which is placed in the United States, which is 1 to 2 states, and it ends up being the second place in the world's industry. It also has a huge military power.

Of course, Roosevelt is just thinking about it, and even he himself has great doubts about this judgment. He is more thinking about what if Germany goes up and is beaten down by the Allies... This is also the question that most American senior officials think, otherwise they would not propose this so-called aid plan. Most American politicians hope that this melee between European powers can last longer... Just imagine, how can a person who cannot even convince himself to convince others?

"Our entire generation is trying to get the US Navy to rush out of America and go all over the world, but the battle and blood of more than a dozen warships, tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers cannot be restored to a foothold in the Far East. Now, a great opportunity is placed in front of us. As long as you nod, at a tiny little price, we can obtain an unshakable fortress in the Far East! The entire territory of Emperor William and the Bismarck Islands are ours! Tell me Roosevelt, why are you hesitating?" Simpson adjusted himself and continued to ask.

"I'm just worried about a superpower in Europe," said Roosevelt.

"Is France not powerful during the reign of Emperor Napoleon? What does it have to do with us? In the end, the British burned the naval bases of the Great Lakes at our doorstep, and by the way, the White House later?" Simpson sneered: "Or, do you think that Britain is not a superpower now. A great power is willing to limit its power to Europe and Africa. Can Germany become another empire that never sets?"

"Germany will not become the new empire for the sun to set. He has withdrawn his power from the Far East. America is the competition between us and the British. During the war, we can completely overwhelm the British's power in America. Africa is too far and too barren, so we don't need to make great efforts." Roosevelt said.

"We can gain huge benefits by simply providing loans, and there is almost no risk. Even if Germany fails, we will only get less. If Germany wins, we will completely gain a foothold in the Far East. The credibility of that **** is still good, at least he will not break his promise. And this time he is the special envoy of the German Emperor and has the endorsement of the German government." Simpson continued.

"Although I heard that the Germans wanted us to pay the bills with some gold, it is understandable to think about it. Once the war begins, even if they can break the British blockade, the precious metals that can be exchanged, they will sooner or later return to the United States of America, and the British also need to buy goods from the United States, and they must pay for precious metals. Our financial security will not be affected in any way."

"Your old friends, such as William Rufus Day, all hope you can have a good relationship with the Germans, and they asked me to help you send you a letter. I hope you can seriously consider their opinions." Simpson said a letter and handed it to Roosevelt.

Day, letter?! A dangerous thing popped up in Roosevelt's mind! At this moment, Simpson added, "And Mr. Wilson, I remember you seemed to have worked together, and he asked me to give you a message, saying that he hopes that the friendship between virtues can continue and that there will be no twists and turns because of a small problem. After all, the tolerance rate of some things is very low.

Damn, what does this mean? Roosevelt was really scared this time! Compared to other people, Simpson was a purer soldier, and had less politician status. Such people were easier to fool. They came over to express their opinions or obeyed them and said that they could consider it and might be able to send the plague god away. But the two people behind were not given for nothing. One was the Secretary of State of the United States, and the other was the future president of the United States. Are such people easy to fool?

Listen to Wilson's threatening words, Roosevelt knew what the other party wanted to say without looking at Day's letter, because they were all people with black history and were "traitors" together. Although there were not many people participating in the negotiations on the surface, there were too many people behind them. If this matter was revealed, not one or two people would die! A powerful person would not be able to confront political parties and consortiums. Especially His Highness ****, who came to the negotiations this time, has a complete set of evidence, or if it really comes to a certain point, it would be impossible to tell whether the negotiations can be completed. It would be a big problem to ruin himself in minutes...

"Let me think about this issue carefully. I am not against the proximity of virtues, I just want the United States to gain greater benefits at a smaller price. Believe me, Wilson, I hate the British and Japanese more than you." For things that need to be thought about carefully, Roosevelt naturally had to send the person in front of him first.

"Then you need to be faster, because people including your good friend William Howard Taff will come here to persuade you, and they hope you can solve this problem cleanly and neatly. It is inappropriate to hesitate at this time." Simpson is already at home, so naturally it is impossible to force Roosevelt to make a decision on the spot, so that the other party can relax, and carefully consider the serious gains and losses!

"I will seriously consider this opinion." Roosevelt said haggardly. If Ruprecht's negotiations with him made him difficult and the huge pressure brought by the alliance between Congress and the consortium made him breathless, then after the arrival of the current Lieutenant General Simpson, Roosevelt finally realized that he could no longer support him. To some extent, he had reached the brink of being betrayed by everyone, and perhaps he would take another step forward and he would fall into the abyss.

No politician does not care about his political life, nor does that politician does not cherish his feathers like a peacock. Especially when he cannot determine whether his ideas are correct, especially when he is sure that the United States will indeed gain considerable benefits, Roosevelt finally decided to surrender, and he found countless reasons for himself. Each of them makes sense, such as finding a place for the United States in Asia, such as borrowing the power of Germany to attack Britain and France. But this cannot cover up the essence of his retreat!
