The Rise of the Empire

As a major exporter of electromechanical products, Germany needs a lot of copper, while the United States is rich in copper resources. Although the grade may be a little lower than that of Chile, the advantage is that it is relatively close and has a large amount. Although the importance of oil is not too obvious now, under the leadership of the prince to promote the petrochemical industry, Germany's demand for oil and related products has also risen to a higher level, and the export of these two items is enough to make the United States The capitalists use the votes in their hands to determine the tendency of the US government. \u003c/p\u003eOf course, in return, the American tariffs on some mechanical and electrical products and optical equipment in Germany have also been reduced. The accumulation of American technology in this era is still a little bit worse. As for the South American market, it is also divided between the United States and Germany. \u003c/p\u003eAs the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. Since everyone has made money, what else is there to say? Therefore, cooperation between the United States and Germany is really the general trend. \u003c/p\u003e"Actually, when we help the Germans this time, we are helping ourselves." At the end of the conversation, Roosevelt revealed to Day a little about the plan of the Navy Department. \u003c/p\u003e"What do you mean?" Day frowned slightly. \u003c/p\u003e "You'll know when the time comes, we're going to deter certain countries." Roosevelt left after dropping a sentence. Although Day is the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State can't control the Navy's plans. \u003c/p\u003eRoosevelt is a man of firm will and will never be knocked down by a single failure! Although the failure of the Philippines was indeed tragic, Roosevelt was so angry that he had a serious illness...  After Roosevelt returned to the position of undersecretary of the Navy, he actively promoted the U.S. Navy's military expansion and war preparation plan. On the other hand, it is considering whether it is possible to find two chickens to scare it now, to show the presence of the United States. \u003c/p\u003eBut now the U.S. Navy is not easy to deal with. After World War I in the Philippines, the U.S. Navy has no battleships other than 3 battleships that can be sold! Although the Americans gritted their teeth with hatred for Brazil, which was helping the tyrants invisibly, they shouldn't expect a battleship to scare the Brazilians in the past. \u003c/p\u003e Fortunately, in a few months, the Kansas-class battleship will enter service. At that time, the Americans will have 5 battleships, and the Americans have long estimated that they will create a fleet to go around the coast of Brazil to scare the Brazilian toucans who can't figure out the shape! Let him know the difference between a bird and an eagle. \u003c/p\u003eAnd this time, the German plan gave Roosevelt an opportunity to make a fool of himself! That's right, it's a fake Huwei. It's also a 10,000-ton warship. It's different to hang the German flag and the American flag! After all, the former beat the Japanese violently, while the latter was violently beaten by the Japanese, this is the difference! \u003c/p\u003eThe current U.S. Navy is also somewhat inferior. How dare the defeated man be brave? Pulling the two battleships by myself is completely different from the two battleships of the Americans and the two battleships of the Germans! This is the Americans dragging their buddies up to find a place! It's so intimidating! \u003c/p\u003eOf course, someone asked, why is the German Navy going to America when it has nothing to do? The thing is, Germany wants to attack Angola, but the distance between the two places is far away, and the fleet needs to run there first, otherwise the day lily will be cold when something happens. And this directly pulling all the four main forces over has obviously had too much impact, so the prince thought of such a way. \u003c/p\u003eThe two Munich-class armored cruisers went there first, and then the Kaiser-class battleship and the Mainz armored cruiser went to the United States for a friendly visit. Then go south to Brazil, and then go to Angola after completing supplies and maintenance in Brazil. In this case, the condition of the battleship will be better, and it will move very naturally, which will not arouse the suspicion of other countries. \u003c/p\u003e Then Roosevelt thought,

Anyway, the Germans are going to Brazil too, so let's go together, and I would like to warn the blind Brazilians not to follow the British in the future! In fact, this is the case. Shock Brazil, and then let the two new battleships and the personnel on them experience it. \u003c/p\u003eRoosevelt informed the US Navy Department of this idea, and the US Navy Department brought it to the President. The President of the United States said that this method is good, so let’s do it! Finally, the American ambassador to Germany sent the request to the Kaiser. \u003c/p\u003e"It's okay to take you around, but don't affect our actions! Brother is going out to fight, not to play! When you arrive in Brazil, it's just a stopover." The prince's first feeling after seeing this document was to think Refused, but then I thought, since you let us accompany us on a trip to Brazil, can you help us take a place when we attack Portugal? If you agree, then we still have something to talk about.... \u003c/p\u003e"It's not equal at all. Going to Brazil with Virtue and Germany is a deterrent, more of a gesture, but if the US Navy is involved in the war between Germany and Portugal, it will be in big trouble. It is a paramilitary Alliance!" Roosevelt immediately objected. \u003c/p\u003e"This is actually an equal deal, because after this matter is over, your country is about to annex Hawaii, and in order to deter possible actions taken by the United States and Japan, our fleet will also go with the US fleet. And when Germany When you agree with your country to use our bases in the Far East, we are standing on the opposite side of Britain and Japan.”\u003c/p\u003e “Mr. Roosevelt, you are always willing to use 1 dollar bills to buy 10 dollars. As a As a businessman, I have a deep understanding of two sentences, first, your opponents and partners are not stupid, and second, cooperation will only last if both parties think it is valuable." In the end, the prince may feel that the strength is not enough, So I added another sentence at the end of the telegram. \u003c/p\u003e"We will go to Angola in the name of evacuating overseas Chinese. American merchant ships will provide assistance to your country within our capacity, but our fleet will not participate in any military operations, and the range of activities of all landing personnel will not exceed 20 kilometers around the port area.” Roosevelt thought for a while and wrote in his reply. \u003c/p\u003eYou can go, but you will never take any military-related actions. This is the bottom line for the Americans. Of course, according to the prior agreement between the two parties, after Germany declared Angola a war zone and gradually occupied Angola, the US government would issue a statement recognizing Germany's occupation of Angola. \u003c/p\u003e"What we need is professional naval assistance. If only civilian ships provide supplies, then what do we need your country to do? German merchant ships are enough, and your country's fleet may not participate in the operation, but the accompanying fleet The naval supply ship should play a role. And what your country does today will directly determine our help to your country tomorrow." The prince expressed dissatisfaction. \u003c/p\u003e"We can provide professional supply ships for your country, but the markings of the US Navy will not appear on these supply ships, and the various support plans that have been finalized before will be fulfilled." In the end, the Americans made such a guarantee, Li It can be given, but it is still necessary for face. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friends First Guards Tank Brigade, muhaiyu, classmates are in love, earlutao, bighill1982\u003c/a\u003e~~~, and book friends hero 0007, lonely ぁHeart is wandering\u003c/a\u003e a\u003eSupport~~~!
