"From the perspective of political and international situations alone, how much does it cost to make the British surrender? Not to mention the conflicts between us and Germany, we must first block the holes of the defeat compensation for the British, so that Britain can launch their war machines to serve us! How much does it cost? Several hundred million dollars? Or billion dollars? Give one-third of this money to the Germans, and they can help us solve the Japanese fleet! Buying things depends on the cost-effectiveness, right?"

"And, one thing I need to make is, what if Germany uses this as an excuse to refuse to fulfill its previous obligations and instead help Japan, then what kind of retaliation can we take?" General Pershing hit the last word!

This is the art of speaking. Don’t you talk about politics and strategy? Well, I’ll give you a political problem now. If Germany turns from a friend to an enemy, then do you senior officials have plans to deal with it? What? Do you think you want to retaliate? Please, the war is over, how can you do Germany? The Germans are short of money, and the compensation for the defeat of the Allies will be provided. If you really fall in love with the Japanese, the Japanese military order can also provide a considerable amount of funds. The United States can’t fight with Germany, right?

In fact, at this point, the advantages and disadvantages of both the United States and Germany have been reversed. Now Americans are begging Germany for business, and you still want to provoke Germany all day long? What do you think? Do you have a brain?

"General Pershing's words make sense. Our military plan revolves around cooperation between the United States and Germany. If it is not realistic to change, and it is too wasteful of time, we will give the enemy more preparation time. We can do business with the British and provide a certain limit of loans, but the United States will not easily support post-war Britain." Looking at Taft, who was reluctant to speak, Roosevelt made the final decision.

In fact, Roosevelt already had a rough plan in his mind. He was wary of Germany, but he was not reckless. After all, he had seen the terror of the Bavarian crown prince back then! A simple warship transaction played the four countries of Britain, the United States, Japan and Russia in their hands! It can even be said that it laid the foundation for the world pattern in the next ten years! With this method, Roosevelt was really unwilling to fall out with the Germans. Not to mention the black information in the hands of the prince, Roosevelt simply said that he could win the other party!

However, some domestic political new stars have a reasonable view, but the methods are too immature. Not to mention dealing with Ruprecht, even Roosevelt can play with them in their hands! For example, just now! Taft, as vice president, and Robert Lanxin, as secretary of state, have a very high political status in the United States, and it is very difficult for Roosevelt to fight them himself.

Especially in this national strategy, if the president and vice president and secretary of state have differences, it will be very troublesome. If it comes to parliament again, there may be disputes and turmoil. Not to mention the final result, it will be a major blow to Roosevelt's prestige and future efficiency! So, Roosevelt thought of a way to let other people reject the proposals of the two! These people must play an irreplaceable role in the future United States, and there must be enough reason, and the bosses of the Navy and the Army just meet this requirement!

During wartime, the political status of soldiers will be very high. To put it bluntly, Taft and Robert may step down in the next election, but during wartime, unless they fight an intolerable defeat, neither Pershing nor Benson will shake their status! And if the war is over, they will have a halo called war heroes, and it is okay to go into politics directly! This is not uncommon in American history. So, at this meeting, Roosevelt called these two people in order to completely eliminate Taft and Robert's ideas about winning over the British.

Although Pershing and Benson discuss this issue more from a military perspective, this is exactly what Taft and others cannot refute, because you don’t understand military affairs, let alone solve the problems raised by Pershing. If you can’t even solve the most basic military problems during wartime, it means that everything cannot be passed. After all, there are not many military generals in the United States who have practical combat experience and seem to be very interesting. This is a scarce resource! It’s much more expensive than politicians! It’s useless for you to make trouble for Congress, after all, the members of Congress don’t understand military affairs!

So, Roosevelt rejected the two's opinions with a very small means, and they could not blame Roosevelt! Looking at the two who were like frost hitting persimmons, Roosevelt felt a little sad. At this level, he still wanted to fight Ruprecht? Take a break as soon as possible. The American generation really lacks real politicians, and there are not even many people at the same level as him!

Roosevelt is very strategically strong. His strength is not only because he can find problems, but more importantly because he can solve problems! He knew that it was not realistic to join forces with the British at this time, but people could come up with a remedial plan! Before, the instigation of Taft and the military infighting was actually for the next plan!

"It is unrealistic for us to join forces with the British, and it is unrealistic for us to cooperate with the French, because he has no intention or ability to help us militarily. But we have another ally to consider, that is the Russians! You must know that in the future, it is not only us and Germany that have military conflicts with Japan, but Russia will also remain unrest with the Japanese for the sake of the territory of the Far East!" said Roosevelt.

"Are the Russians? They don't even have a decent central government right now! What does a country with industry backward and civil war do to us?" Taft said.

"At least, the Russians can restrain more than 200,000 Japanese troops in the Far East!" Roosevelt said with a smile. "From the present, the Japanese army in the Russian Far East is no less than in the Pacific. Just to fight for this, I think Russia is worthy of support, right? No matter who ultimately takes over the Russian regime, they will fight for us in the Far East, because there is their last reliable estuary - Vladivostok!"

"So don't we have to worry about Germany's opposition to support Russia?" said Robert Lanxin. He is the Secretary of State, and now, his power seems to have been completely seized by the president. This made him feel very unhappy. Of course, this is only one reason, and on the other hand, he wants to know how Roosevelt handles Germany's affairs.
