Volume Five: The Battle of Britain Chapter 109: The Changing Situation (5)

The worries on the faces of the generals were clearly visible. What the German Third Reich has always been most worried about was that at a critical period of the war, a "local power" suddenly joined the war as an enemy, which would disrupt the original deployment and affect the good situation.

Since the Third German Empire dared to launch a war, there will definitely be preparations from all sides. In fact, war is not the case where the Third German Empire wants to fight. Since it is a war, there must be many uncertain factors. Any sudden "accident" that happens at any time is a normal thing.

Before the war started, the Third German Empire had made relevant preparations. Keshi had the idea of ​​"even if he was enemies of the whole world, he would launch a war and rob the German Danze from the Poles." According to previous deductions, after the Third German Empire declared war on Poland and launched an offensive, Britain and France unexpectedly declared war on the Third German Empire. The deductions "they will hold on to that 'unable line of defense (Magino line) and will not enter the territory of western Germany" did happen.

It can be said that since the outbreak of the war, the situation is still in the hands of the Third German Empire, and even Comrade Stalin, who joined the Soviet republic, would watch and cleanse the military system because of his ambition.

However, as mentioned earlier, the war is full of many undeterminable factors, including the increase of new allies and enemy countries. According to previous speculation, the polar bears in the east will not be able to hold back first, and the Third German Empire has been guarding against the sudden attack of polar bears. However, Stalin's Great Purge would be more Yamato-wider than expected. After half a year, the bloody massacre has not ended. Now, the first Soviet republic that was speculated that it would suddenly jump out continues to remain silent, while the United States, far away on the other side of the Atlantic, took action first. This is simply incredible.

Why do we say it is incredible? The United States does not have much influence in the world at present. In fact, the impression given to the world is that it is: to make money from war by any means and sell military supplies to both the belligerent countries. The country's sense of justice is not as good as a cent; their leaders do not have the power to decide everything, and the power is in the hands of the parliament; the American parliament is composed of oil merchants and arms merchants, and the major and small related products are mixed in it, full of capitalists, and they will not do anything without interests.

It is undeniable that the United States has now reached the top position in the world's national strength. The most important thing is that the political influence of the United States is not enough. Compared with the overlord Britain who is still gritting its teeth and insisting on the sunset, the United States is still waiting for the opportunity to replace Britain and become the global overlord.

In the late 19th century, the United States gradually promoted the opening-door policy (Monroeism), which was actually open to the United States. Old colonial countries generally prohibited other countries from participating in their own colonies.

The slogan that the United States shouted was: The Western Hemisphere is the place where the Western Hemisphere is! The American affairs were managed by the Americans! So much so that Latin America was later known as the American backyard (and so in fact), which began in the late 19th century.

At the end of the 19th century, the United States settled in Spain with its old colonial countries. Later, the United States had colonies of Cuba, the Philippines and Guam. By World War I, the United States had been watching for nearly five years and officially joined the war in 1917. In a few years, the United States was engaged in neutrality. Both sides of the Allies sold their supplies and made a big profit. Finally, it became a victorious country, divided up German overseas colonies, and received huge compensation from five other countries. After this war, the old colonial country (British and France) declined from then on, and the United States became a creditor country for almost all countries in the world.

From 1935 to 1939, the United States' aggression policies against Germany, Italy, Japan in Europe, Asia and Africa were all implemented palliative policies in the form of "neutrality" and "non-intervention". This was first manifested in the breaking of the "European balance of power" policy advocated by the United States. After the annexation of Austria and Czech Republic, the expansion of the Third Reich of Germany was not satisfied.

1 The Third Reich successively occupied all or most of Poland, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and Africa, and its sphere of influence expanded unprecedentedly. The expansion of the Third Reich of Germany and the surrender of France, and the weakening of Britain were a heavy blow to the "European balance of power" policy implemented by the United States, and it was extremely unfavorable to the United States' continued influence in European affairs. In other words, almost all of Europe was included in the territory of the Third Reich of Germany, unless the United States participated in the war, it would be squeezed out of Europe and lost its own foothold.

The Americans' political wisdom is not much lower than the wisdom of making money. They understand one thing very clearly that once the Third German Empire replaces Britain with the sunset and west, it is impossible for the United States to have a chance to rise again. Therefore, when the United States learned that the Axis powers, including the Third German Empire, had already entered Britain, they could no longer sit still. They became more and more anxious and anxious to find various opportunities to support the Allies, hoping that the Allies could support more, and the Allies could cause more harm to the strong Third German Empire. For this reason, even if the United States had to make free or even lose money, it would be a business.

On the other hand, while aiding allies, the United States will inevitably put pressure on the Axis countries, among which the pressure on the German Third Reich is crucial. After all, the Axis powers are the Third Reich, and without the Axis powers of the Third Reich are nothing.

Another most important and deadliest thing is the increasingly blatant expansion that Japan has realized in the Pacific, because the Sino-Japanese War, the United States' interests in the Far East are increasingly threatened and damaged. Japan's expansion has proved to be endless. Encroaching on China is only its initial goal, and controlling the entire Far East is its greater goal.

Therefore, after Britain and France suffered a crushing defeat in the European War in 194, when the United States realized that Japan wanted to take the opportunity to make southward into Southeast Asia the focus of its expansion, they could not bear it. Japan has shown more than once that it has shown its attempt to seize the rich strategic resources of Southeast Asia. The United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands have seized their own colonies or spheres of influence in Southeast Asia. How can this not stir up the fragile nerves of the Americans again and again? Southeast Asia is always a must-fight for the United States due to its important geographical location and rich strategic resources. Japan's southward aggression action will inevitably conflict with the interests of the United States. Japan not only talks about its so-called "new order in the Greater East Asia", but rejects the United States' request to "jointly cooperate to maintain the status quo in the Pacific region", and wants to brazenly send troops to invade Indochina, which is almost a fact...

A note will arouse anxiety among the top leaders of the Third Reich of Germany, which can only show that the German generals were not knocked out by a series of victories. They still had a strong sense of crisis while happily winning, which must be appreciated.

"The United States refuses to sell oil to our country, and at the same time requires our country to explain the attacks of more and more American ships on the Atlantic Ocean by submarine forces. Well, I can understand Roosevelt's mood. He was eager to join the war under Churchill's sweet words, but those greedy members of Congress have not yet earned enough benefits. Roosevelt could not convince the members of Congress to only give their diplomatic pressure within their powers. It is conceivable that when the Presidential Palace issues an announcement to terminate trade with our country, Roosevelt will forget his lame... Why? He will be chased by capitalists with damaged interests!"

Well, I have to admit that the jokes of the Head of State are not funny at all... However, the head of state with an optimistic attitude is exactly what the generals and schools are willing to see. Although the generals and schools do not have the mood to laugh, they "haha" twice and then remain silent.

"As a director in charge of overseas intelligence collection, does Markrich have the intelligence of the U.S. power?"

"Yes, my head."

"Then let's talk as we go, and you should give me some of the current military power of the United States."

"My head of state, the United States is not very powerful at present. It is reported that they have no more than twenty divisions of the army on the ground. They are not much stronger in the air force and navy than we who have mastered the entire Axis Group of Navy and Air Force."

Of course, the generals and schoolmen present basically knew the above data, but even if the head of state asked what these meant, they would not immediately show it.

"Markrich, you're wrong. The American navy is stronger than us. This is exactly what the generals are worried about. They are worried that the American fleet will immediately join the battle for transportation lines in the English Channel."

"This possibility is not ruled out... In fact, my head of state. The Americans have just passed a resolution that they will provide Britain with four battleships by rent. According to the information we know, although not comprehensive, the British shamelessly used Danish land to exchange for the United States for much-needed supplies."

Oh... By the way, Britain was indeed generously given to the United States by the interests of others, and that place was called Iceland. It was precisely because of this series of actions that Denmark, which had originally resisted, was completely silent. It was even said that the Danes hated Britain to be far more than the Third German Empire that captured theirs.

"My generals, you should pay full attention to the Battle of Britain, and leave the disputes with the Americans to the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do anything. No matter what, it is more appropriate to not hand over to those under the authority. What do you think?"

"I understand, my head!"

"Don't worry too much, Americans have more countries than us that need them to pay attention to."

"My Head of State! Are you talking about Japan?"

"Is that so? Did I mention Japan? Maybe. Before that, I will reiterate that you don't need to pay attention to anything other than the battlefield. I believe you will do this well and must do this!"

"Hi! Stark!"
