The Rise of the Empire

"Why not? What we are doing is an equivalent exchange. They provide us with military assistance, and we give them money. If they terminate military assistance, we will naturally not give money again! Isn't this very logical?" Taft Said.

"So, what if the Germans are on the side of the Japanese? The Pacific War, which has already cost tens of billions of dollars, forget it?" Old Roosevelt said.

"Then Germany is completely the opposite of the United States!" Taft said.

"So what? What can you do? A fight with the Germans?" Old Roosevelt sighed. "I was really wrong in this matter. I underestimated the German reaction. If the Germans really choose to send troops on a large scale, then our action will only fail, but we are not sure how determined the Germans are. We don’t know what the Germans think of Turkey? Although this incident has seriously affected our plan, it does not mean that the plan cannot be implemented."

"You mean the Germans might be bluffing?" Taft asked.

"But it's also possible that you are really here, do you two want to take a gamble?" Lan Xin said angrily. "The Germans have absolutely terminated the military alliance with us. Although in your opinion, the termination of the alliance is not an irreversible thing for the Pacific War, but I want to repeat one sentence and keep Germany neutral on the battlefield. This is our bottom line, and this is also the opinion of Congress. You cannot let the United States take such a risk because of your own guesses and likes and dislikes."

"However, it is impossible to completely stop the layout of the Middle East. This will make us completely lose the Middle East. We have devoted nearly 2 years of hard work to this, and this failure will make our potential allies forever and We are separated. Russia is our most important ally on the European continent. If this road is cut, you should know what will happen, right?" Old Roosevelt said.

"However, this time the Germans are talking about the Russians. We can't help but retreat, otherwise the Germans who think that their faces are damaged are likely to take radical measures. They even invade Persia from Transcaucasus. "Lan Xin said.

"Then start the second plan." Old Roosevelt said after being silent for 5 minutes.

"Do you have a second plan?" Even Taft was shocked. He didn't expect his boss to have a backup plan!

"Yes, there is indeed a second plan. We can temporarily reduce contact with the Russians, and we can even let some Russians leave Persia. But our plan in Persia can't stop, so good, where will the missing army come from? Come? I personally think that India is a very good choice, Britain is a country that should be punished, but not now, if the British are willing to join our action against Persia, our chances of success in Persia will be very great. The Germans have to face three big countries in Persia at the same time. They also need to think about it. Even if Persia does not get any benefits from the Mesopotamia in the end, as long as we can keep this bridgehead, let him become mortal enemies with Turkey and Germans. Our goal has been achieved." Old Roosevelt said.

"Do the British have the guts now?" Taft asked.

"I personally feel that the guts of the British have something to do with the attitude of the Germans," Lan Xin said.

"Yes, so we must ensure that the behavior of the Germans is controlled within a certain range. We must let them cast a rat, not dare to set the table directly. At least before the end of the Pacific War, we must find a way to keep the Germans calm." Old Roosevelt said.

"How to keep the Germans quiet?" Lan Xin asked.

"Our economic assistance to the Germans cannot be stopped for the time being, and our operations in Persia have been temporarily slowed down. At the same time, we are launching diplomatic efforts to restore relations between the two countries as much as possible," said Old Roosevelt.

"Are you kidding? The cancellation of German military assistance to us is a foregone conclusion! This is a fact that will not change, and we will continue to send money to the Germans?" Taft said excitedly.

"What else?" Old Roosevelt glanced at Taft and said, "Then do you have any better way to prevent the Germans from doing anything to Persia? As long as we back down and use money as bait, we can Let the Germans keep quiet, and when we withdraw from the Pacific War, we will be able to play a game between Persia and the Germans between great powers. We are buying time."

"Taft, maybe my previous plan disappointed you a bit, but this time I can tell you clearly that we only have two options, either to exchange money for time, or to withdraw from Persia. But yes, I can assure you, Our efforts today will be reported thousands of times. Will you support me again?" Old Roosevelt said quite sincerely.

"I will be responsible for restoring the relationship with the Germans. As for other things, you'd better be careful when you do it. If you get out of the basket again, then the result is definitely not what we want to see. All things are best done after the Pacific War. Go on." Lan Xin's attitude is considered tacitly approved.

"Well, Roosevelt, I'm bound to you for the rest of my life. Don't have any problems this time." Taft said with a sigh. He knew that there was no better way now.

So ~www.NovelMTL.com~ When the Germans trumpeted the Americans' treachery, the Americans also claimed that the German reports did not conform to the facts, and that the U.S. actions in Persia were completely legal. Germany should not treat the U.S. and Persia. The normal relationship between them is regarded as hostile behavior.

In private, the US government and the German government exchanged views on some issues. Although this incident was a bit sudden, Germany said that due to the bad behavior of the Americans, the alliance relationship between the two sides has existed in name only. In this case, the withdrawal of German military forces in the Pacific region will become inevitable. As for whether the US will retaliate, Germany does not mind. He also stated that if the United States engages in arrogant behavior, it will be hit back more severely!

After realizing that the retreat of German military power was a foregone conclusion, the U.S. government did not continue to entangle on this issue. Instead, it insisted that the U.S. would not participate in Turkey’s internal affairs and that the U.S. has the right to defend its interests in Persia. . Of course, the U.S. government also believes that although the United States and Germany are not military ally at this stage, they are considered friendly relations, so economic and trade exchanges between them continue, including the economic assistance provided by the Americans to Germany. The Americans also hope that Germany can complete the previous military orders as agreed.
