In Roosevelt's view, both of these views have their own reasons. At least for now, the center of the world is still in Europe. If the United States wants to develop, it is necessary to control or have a certain degree of collaboration in Europe.

In this world where the distance has gradually narrowed, isolationism is definitely not desirable if you want to continue to survive. But there is no conclusion on whether it is inclined to support the UK or China.

After all, the current situation on the Pacific battlefield will greatly affect the United States. If the Japanese lose control, who can guarantee that they will not create more warships and then directly attack the United States?!

If the war goes to that level, let alone support the United Kingdom. Even the United States protects itself has become a huge problem. Armed the National Defense Forces and then let them hold the Japanese back. This is what the United States needs to do now.

The combat effectiveness shown by the National Defense Force also satisfied the senior American leaders including Roosevelt. In the Shanghai Battle, the National Defense Force annihilated nearly 300,000 Japanese troops, which was a great victory.

The US propaganda department is using this victory to continuously boost morale so that the young men who have just joined the army will not be too nervous.

"His Excellency President, let me tell you my opinion!" At this moment, John Rockefeller, who had not spoken, spoke. After getting Roosevelt's consent, he said to Frank and Stimson who were quarrel.

"Two, actually your dispute is whether it is to support the UK or China strongly?!" Frank and Stimson nodded inexplicably. Don't you know very clearly?!

"But two. Haven't you noticed that your purpose is not in conflict?!" Rockefeller spread his hands and said to Frank and Stimson.

Rockefeller's words made everyone stunned. How could there be no conflict? Even if the United States supports it, it must be the first to come. And without the weapons it needs, there will be a lot of weapons it needs. There will definitely not be too many weapons it supports.

These are all guarantees of victory. Whoever has more or less depends on the support level. How can it be said that it doesn’t matter?!

Everyone was confused, but Roosevelt was not confused! As soon as Rockefeller said, Roosevelt smiled instantly. He knew what Rockefeller meant, and at the same time felt a little ashamed that he hadn't thought of this method.

"Everyone, John Jr. is right. There is indeed no conflict between supporting Britain and China." Roosevelt explained to everyone with a smile: "The UK is now facing a shortage of resources. This has caused their factories to be unable to produce large quantities of weapons and equipment. Therefore, we need our strong support."

"But the situation of the National Defense Forces is completely different. They have a complete industrial chain and a large number of resources in the three northeastern provinces. These can ensure that they can produce a large number of weapons at any time." After a pause, Roosevelt said: "In fact, the National Defense Forces' weapons are not much of the ones we support now. But they still won several battles."

Everyone lowered their heads and thought, it was true. Since he took office, the commander-in-chief has continuously expanded the industrial capacity and output value of the three eastern provinces. At the same time, it has introduced a large amount of capital from Britain, the United States and other countries, and increased investment in production equipment renewal.

Even the tanks designed and manufactured by the National Defense Forces themselves are no less than those designed by the United Kingdom and the United States. They are even more advanced in some aspects. For example, the "Tiger" tanks used by China now.

According to the US's own intelligence, the National Defense Forces used this tank to defeat a large number of Japanese troops. In front of this tank, all Japanese tanks were made into thin-skinned pies and were bitten off in one bite.

It is said that the Japanese learned from their mistakes and are developing a new generation of tanks with thicker armor to resist the impact of the Wehrmacht tanks on the position.

Of course, under the stimulation of the National Defense Forces, Japan has developed two new fighters, the Zero-type, one-type. Both fighters have been unveiled at Pearl Harbor. According to the surviving pilots at that time, these two fighters have good flexibility and are very powerful in low-altitude combat. Of course, it is not without shortcomings. At least now, according to the surviving pilots, the firepower of these two fighters is not strong.

"The National Wehrmacht has a complete production industrial chain. That is to say, I only need to provide drawings and some technicians, and they can be self-sufficient and do not need us to transfusions of weapons to them." Roosevelt said to everyone with a smile: "The situation in Britain is different. They are now facing the threat of Germany and urgently need a large amount of resources and weapons to be equipped immediately to deal with the war."

"So, fundamentally speaking, the needs of China and the UK are actually different." After a pause, Roosevelt said with a wry smile: "I almost forgot that the tiger in Washington has always asked us to provide them with design drawings of various weapons. It seems that they know better than us what we need, but instead we mistakenly think that what we need is something else."

Roosevelt's explanation made the cabinet members suddenly realize! Thinking about it carefully, this is true. The National Defense Forces now have comprehensive industrial equipment. The members present and the capital behind them have invested a lot in the three northeastern provinces in the past few years.

Those industries all have shares in the three northeastern provinces, and a large number of American technicians and designers went to China to work due to the economic crisis. This brought a large number of skilled technicians to the three northeastern provinces, and a group of technicians who returned reported that since they entered the factory, the government of the three northeastern provinces had arranged a large number of apprentices to study with them.

They have to learn Chinese by themselves, while those students are learning English while learning technology with them. After years of study, these apprentices have gradually become teachers.

Now they are constantly exerting their abilities in their respective positions. Speaking of this, we have to mention the so-called "industrial mother machine".

What exactly is an industrial hen? In simple terms, it is to be able to use machines to make machines. For example: I got a lathe, and then I used this lathe to produce various parts.

After knowing and familiarizing myself with this lathe, I used the parts from this lathe car to assemble a new lathe. This is the concept of a machine production machine, that is, "industrial mother machine".

But many people ignore one problem in this concept: workers!

You need to use a lathe car to get the parts out and achieve the conditions that can assemble a lathe, and the operating accuracy, hardness and service life are all up to date. So what kind of superb skills does this worker need?!

And creating a lathe is not just a lathe worker, it involves complex and series of actions such as milling, planing, pulling, etc.

It can be said that the first thing you need to achieve the effect of an industrial master machine is that you need a large number of skilled workers and a large number of workers with superb skills.

Then you will need various production equipment with considerable accuracy, including lathes, milling machines, etc. With these, you will also invest a lot of money to build material testing facilities.

Because the durability, accuracy, wear, etc. of the machine are closely related to the materials. You need to continuously invest money in building laboratories and train a large number of material researchers to test the characteristics of various materials.

After careful calculations, every stroke is astronomical. Fortunately, not many people in this era have realized this.

The arrival of the Great Depression allowed Tu Mengben to dig up a large number of scientific researchers and skilled workers from Britain, the United States, Germany and other countries, and then let them continue to lead apprentices from the three northeastern provinces to operate.

Now these apprentices have been studying for several years. I dare not say how high they have reached, but at least they have their own unique skills in terms of operation.

These people are carefully selected and sent to the top technicians from the United States to study. After they have finished their studies, they will immediately become technical supervisors of the following branches.

Then after working on the front line for at least one year, you will go back to school and start teaching what they have learned. This is a more special way of education in the three northeastern provinces than in other places.

At the beginning, officials in the three northeastern provinces, including Yang Yuting and others, did not understand why Tu Mengben did this. But after several years of being released, when they saw those tiger shark fighter jets and tiger tanks no longer needed any foreigners to intervene in the Chinese to build them from the engine to the casing, Yang Yuting and the others were convinced.

"Well...if that's the case, I think we can give more help from China's drawings." Frank became generous now. Anyway, the drawings are just not real materials.

In Frank's opinion, this is much cheaper than giving weapons. Of course he was willing, and Stimson was not opposed to doing so. Since the National Defense Forces have a strong production capacity, why should they still give weapons?!

What they need now is drawings and then produce them themselves.

"I have no objection, Your Excellency President." Stimson saw Roosevelt looking at him and smiled: "I am just worried about the threat posed by the Japanese to the United States in the Pacific. As long as there is no threat, I have no objection to support China whether it is drawings or weapons or nothing."

Roosevelt smiled. Regardless of whether Stimson's words were sincere or false, he was speaking from the standpoint of the United States. Roosevelt smiled and nodded to him.

"To be honest, I have to thank John Little. You told us that the three eastern provinces did not need those equipment." Roosevelt smiled and turned to Rockefeller.

Rockefeller waved his hand and said, "In fact, I know better than you. It is because I have also made a lot of investments in the three northeastern provinces. These include oil, iron ore, copper ore and railways. So I am relatively familiar with the situation in the three northeastern provinces."

Roosevelt nodded and stopped talking about the topic. He turned around and discussed with everyone how to discuss the issue of coordination with the National Defense Forces and the United Kingdom.

Including how many fighter jets, warships, and the Atlantic Fleet will support Britain to the extent that it will be, and what is the worst plan if the battle is unfavorable.

As for China, it’s simple. Now the news comes from more than 700,000 Japanese troops were surrounded by the National Defense Forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If the Japanese had not sent the navy out to support them, perhaps the more than 700,000 people would have fallen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In fact, this is also the reason why Stimson and Frank argued. Stimson believes that there is no maritime power that has bound the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces.

Otherwise, those damn Japanese bastards would have been driven into the sea by the National Defense Forces long ago. It is even possible that the National Defense Forces have begun to attack Southeast Asia and may directly attack the Japanese mainland.

Therefore, it is necessary to arm the Defense Forces. Because Stimson believes that this will greatly reduce the possibility of the United States being attacked in the Pacific.

Thus, more power is invested in the local area or the Atlantic Ocean. From this point of view, Stimson and Frank have the same end. However, the two agree that Frank believes that a large amount of power should be invested in Britain now to ensure that Britain will not be captured.

Stimson believed that the National Defense Forces should be supported first, at least to allow them to hold back the Japanese naval forces and not threaten the United States. Then, support to the United Kingdom.

If it were at the beginning of the war, Stimson would have laughed to death. But now no one laughed at him. First Europe and then Asia were originally a consensus and strategy established by the US cabinet.

But the reality surprised them. The British and French coalition forces took the troops of the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries to retreat to the English Channel without even supporting them for half a year.

Dunkirk, Britain and France almost threw all the glory they had won from wars in the past dynasties into the strait. The heavy losses of the British and French coalition made the Americans wonder whether they could fight?!

If they can't fight, at least they can't let the US military and materials support Germany, right?! Under this circumstance, the strategic idea of ​​first Europe and then Asia began to shake.

Especially since the United States has received information, Japan is constantly sending Southeast Asian resources back to its homeland. At the same time, it has started construction of more aircraft carriers, battleships and cruisers.

What this means. The United States is very clear. Once those built warships are built, it may be the time for Japan to attack directly on the United States.

Fortunately, at this juncture, the National Defense Forces sank two Japanese aircraft carriers and four battleships. Although these are old-fashioned aircraft carriers and battleships, they are warships after all, not warships? And they have not yet been retired.

"The aircraft carrier design drawings, bombers, and fighter latest design drawings are given to them." Roosevelt signed his name on the document and said to the little John who had not been sleeping overnight: "Little John, you are responsible for conducting comprehensive negotiations with them. As long as it is not too much demand, please satisfy them!"

To be honest, Roosevelt felt a little guilty. He gave Britain a large number of fighter jets and warships, and the National Defense Forces gave a bunch of drawings. The British could also get these drawings to produce them on their own.

From this perspective, Roosevelt still made the National Defense Force suffer.

But the National Defense Forces can only bear this loss. Not to mention that the coalition government has not yet become a qualified power. Even if it becomes a new power, the treatment in some aspects is not as good as that of the old powers.

This is like the treatment between the outbreaker and the old nobles. The National Defense Forces now look like a completely nouveau riche. And the brand of the Empire and the Gaul Chicken Family are old enough.

"It's good to have drawings! As long as the technicians can provide, they can provide as much as they can. It's best to be engineers who have experienced aircraft carrier design and manufacturing experience. This is something we are extremely lacking."

The person who spoke was Mrs. Song. She still looked so gentle. During this period of time, she kept running around the United States. Sometimes it was to entertain local Chinese representatives, entertain them and encourage them.

Sometimes they hold talks with the governors and congressmen of various states in order to fight for better living conditions for the Chinese. Mrs. Song's efforts have been fruitful, at least now the exclusion of Chinese has begun to gradually decrease.

This beautiful and gentle lady greatly improved the image of Chinese people. What was also accompanied by the improvement of Chinese people's status in the United States. With the intervention of certain forces, even groups like 3k no longer targeted Chinese people.

The descriptions of Chinese people were also quietly deleted on the collar seal. These were gradual changes, but the decisive role in the end was the successive victory of the National Defense Forces.

The United States failed in the Philippines, while the National Defense Forces continued to defeat the Japanese army.

"Dear Madam, I'm going to tell you. Your Excellency the President has authorized me. As long as it is not too excessive for you and your team, I can agree..." Little John smiled at Mrs. Song and said, "So, just give it your conditions."

Mrs. Song smiled indifferently: "We are just doing our duty. Whether you support or not, we will continue the war. Of course, I am very grateful for your support."

"But for us, these drawings are enough. We will be more grateful for the support of some technicians and engineers." Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Of course, it depends on your rights and whether the president allows..."

"Of course the President allows it!" Little John stood up and said solemnly: "Madam, you are so reasonable. You know, the Cabinet and Congress have quarreled more than once for the balance of support between China and Britain. We are very grateful for your understanding of us..."

Mrs. Song smiled. She was not considerate but a kind of humility and self-reliance. Yes, this time Roosevelt asked little John to deal with this matter was already a kind of letting the water off.

The relationship between John Jr. and Tu Mengben can be hidden from others but cannot be hidden from Roosevelt. If you didn't even notice this, Roosevelt would not have become one of the greatest presidents in American history.

His arrangement is very clear: this time I need to be inclined towards the UK in terms of resources, so you can raise some requirements that do not touch the bottom line, and I try to meet it. The person who knows this bottom line is John. He will naturally give the Chinese side a clear idea. (To be continued...)
