As Southern African embassy staff in Brazil flee Rio de Janeiro, divisions within the United States are growing.
Americans have different positions on the issue of southern Africa. Some people advocate being tough on southern Africa, some advocate sitting down and negotiating, and some repeatedly jump to the middle and sit on the fence.
But no matter which faction they were in, they all agreed that launching a war would be more conducive to the United States' economic recovery.
The economic crisis is far away, but the U.S. economy has not fully recovered. It is far from the heyday before the economic crisis broke out.
This is actually normal. During the economic crisis, Southern Africa was not greatly affected. U.S. companies went bankrupt on a large scale. When struggling in the economic crisis, Southern African companies were conquering cities and territories, and many markets of U.S. companies were taken away by Southern African companies.
Once the market is taken away, it will be difficult to get it back.
The United States still has strong industrial strength. However, due to limited demand, factories are severely under-operated, which has led to a serious lack of vitality in the U.S. economy. The New York Times judged that the U.S. economy will be in a long-term sluggish state.
Launching a war at this time will obviously help stimulate the U.S. economic recovery.
Moreover, the opponent in southern Africa is not bad, strong enough, and far away from the mainland of the United States. It is unlikely that the war will reach the mainland of the United States, which is why Washington's attitude is so tough.
Roosevelt was deeply worried about this situation.
War can indeed stimulate the economy.
However, when the losses caused by the war reach a certain level, it will have huge side effects on the entire country. This side effect may be serious enough to cause the United States to collapse. There are too many such examples in history.
As for the Olympics -
Roosevelt did not consider the Olympics as a criterion when making any decisions.
To put it bluntly, this is just a game, and Roosevelt didn't care at all.
“What we have to consider now is to what extent we can control the scale of the war. The Southern African Atlantic Fleet has not yet participated in the war. If we sink the Southern African aircraft carrier or battleship, will it lead to a full-scale war between us and Southern Africa?
"Roosevelt Jr. was very worried. Southern Africa is not Brazil, so be careful.
Following the aircraft carrier "Lexington" and the battleship "Maryland", the United States transferred the "Mississippi", "Pennsylvania" and "Nevada" battleships to Brazil to maintain its absolute advantage over the Atlantic Fleet in southern Africa.
The Southern African Atlantic Fleet now only has one aircraft carrier, the USS Basutoland, and the rest are heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, and an unknown number of submarines.
However, the Atlantic Fleet also has a large aviation force, with more than 500 fighter planes stationed in Halifax.
This attitude is very obvious. Southern Africa has been claiming that its core interests are in the Indian Ocean all day long. So why does it still deploy such a large aviation force in Halifax?
It's obviously aimed at the United States.
"Yes, if we do that, a full-scale war will almost certainly break out." Hurley pushed himself. If the US battleship was sunk, the US government would not give up.
At that time, the scale of the war will not be up to the U.S. government. Even if the U.S. government does not want to fight, it will be kidnapped by the surging public opinion and will have to launch a full-scale war with southern Africa.
"Then we must avoid this situation. In any case, we must control the scale of the war within a certain range. We need the war to stimulate economic recovery, rather than being led into the abyss by the war." Roosevelt Jr. has reason. The only thing he prays for now is
Yes, Rock can also maintain a tacit understanding with him.
Rock was also rational, so when the "Shark" asked for instructions whether to launch an attack on the battleship "Maryland", Rock decisively refused.
"Why? Sink the Maryland and see how arrogant the Americans can be!" Stoudemire shouted crazily. There is also a group of militants in southern Africa.
"Are you stupid? The United States has 18 battleships, and you can sink them all one by one?" Henry mocked mercilessly. War can stimulate the economic recovery of the United States, and it can also stimulate the economic development of southern Africa at a faster rate.
Just now, the Southern African Congress passed an emergency budget to build more warships and purchase more tanks.
Southern Africa has been clamoring for a super battleship for several years, but as a result, the keels were laid out as aircraft carriers. Only then did all countries realize that Southern Africa had tricked them.
The same goes for the armored forces. Although "Tiger" tanks have been fielded, the number is seriously insufficient, and even the production of "Leopard" tanks is seriously insufficient. In the territory of nearly 10 million square kilometers in southern Africa, only two armored divisions are obviously not enough. Congress passed
After this emergency budget, Roque plans to increase the number of armored forces to six divisions to meet current needs.
The stalls in southern Africa are too big, and six divisions are actually not enough.
The mainland needs at least two divisions to ensure the security of the mainland. If nothing else, the mainland still has the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Armored Division. These two units are the Dinghai Shenzhen.
With the upgrade of equipment, oil is becoming more and more important. Port Elizabeth is the lifeline of southern Africa. At least one armored division must be stationed in order to control the situation.
The same goes for Changi Naval Base. The Japanese are ready to move, and the Americans are at both ends. Rock predicts that Changi Naval Base must deploy at least one armored division, and then supplement it with a brigade of Marines to ensure Changi Naval Base.
of safety.
Thinking about it this way, there is Halifax. 500 fighter planes seem very powerful, but if the Americans launch a ground attack, they will not be able to withstand it without armored troops.
When I think about it, there are Cyprus and Saint Roch——
In short, there are pits everywhere.
With so many orders coming in, Henry was so happy that he almost flew into the air.
Although the iron ore in Iron Square has been affected by the war, iron ore from the Pilbara region is still being transported to southern Africa. Whether it is building warships or tanks, a large amount of steel is needed. Southern Africa is also undergoing large-scale infrastructure construction.
Those dozen dams and reservoirs have not been completed yet, and the construction period is calculated in "ten years", so roll up your sleeves and work hard. You need as much steel and cement as you can, the more the better.
"Don't talk about sinking them one by one. If you sink a USS Maryland, Americans will go crazy——" Yang Shimozi was afraid. Fortunately, the commander of the "Shark" had not lost his mind. Otherwise, Rock would have lost his mind now.
Then you can sign the mobilization order.
"When are we going to build real battleships?" Martin wailed, looking at the thirty-three thousand Maryland and then the twenty-five thousand Normandy, he felt more and more disgusted.
The reason has been mentioned before. It is not that the "Normandy" is bad, but now the "Normandy" is the most suitable battleship for southern Africa.
But who can resist the temptation of a super battleship?
"Wait a while, don't worry, there will definitely be a super battleship." Rock still reassured him, the navy was complaining at the same time, but it was really sweet at the same time, and it also had a split personality.
The complaint is because there are no new battleships in service.
It’s so fragrant because there are four “Island” class battleships still on the slipway. The “Island” class battleship has a full load displacement of 28,000 tons, carries 130 fighter planes, and has a crew of about 4,000 people. Once it is commissioned, it will be the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world.
.
The key is still the slipway.
The slipways that can build super warships are limited. There are now a total of 12 slipways in southern Africa that can build super warships, and they are all in use.
In another time and space, during World War II in the United States, the number of slipways that could build aircraft carriers exceeded fifty.
This is why the United States in another time and space could make dumplings during World War II.
Southern Africa is also building more slipways now. Not only are warships getting bigger and bigger, but civilian ships are also getting bigger. Nyasaland Ocean Shipping Company has begun designing 100,000-ton oil tankers. The demand is expected
Very big.
In addition to oil tankers, cargo ships and cruise ships are also getting bigger and bigger. After the end of World War I, Stoudemire towed the last Normandy-class battleship back to southern Africa and transformed it into a unique private yacht in the world. This guy is still looking good on the yacht.
The main gun is installed. Although the main gun is welded to death and cannot be used, it is crazy enough.
Now the superyacht named "Cecil Rhodes" by Stoudemire is parked in Whale Bay. Stoudemire spends more than RMB 50,000 on the "Cecil Rhodes" every month.
special.
"Battleship or aircraft carrier?" Martin was worried. A super battleship could be a battleship or an aircraft carrier.
"Both..." Rock nodded, and Martin was very satisfied.
Just have it. To be honest, southern Africa is not short of money now. Aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are more expensive than battleships, so they are still being built one after another.
"If you can't attack the Maryland, then the Brazilian battleships can always attack -" Stoudemire didn't give up, the Brazilian Navy also has battleships.
Martin suddenly became energetic and his brows were beating.
"It should be okay -" Henry was unsure and looked at Roark.
"We can try it. Starting from the Brazilian destroyers, we have to determine the bottom line of the Americans." Roque also has no bottom line now and hits the Brazilian destroyers. If the Americans don't respond, then they will hit the Brazilian battleships.
If the Brazilian battleships are hit and the Americans still don't respond.
Then you can try American destroyers.
"Should we evacuate the Basutoland from Victoria?" Martin first prepared for an all-out war with the Americans and did not give the Americans a chance to sink the Basutoland.
"Withdraw. Kitchina's people must also withdraw in batches. Don't give the Americans a chance to accidentally attack." Roque understands the virtues of Americans too well. Southern Africa is constantly testing the bottom line of Americans, and the United States is also constantly testing the bottom line of Americans.
Africa's bottom line.
From detaining embassy staff to shelling Rio, they are actually all tests.
Southern Africa responded strongly one by one.
So far, there is no clear winner.
