Four Hundred and Fifty Six Red Blue

Washington, America. In the Oval Office of the President of the United States, the Soviet envoy is sitting in front of President Roosevelt. He came here this time for an unprecedented cross-border cooperation, and he is very confident in the cooperation he proposed.

"Mr. President, a strong Germany with unparalleled influence in Europe is what the United States does not want to see—at the same time, this is by no means what the Soviet Union wants to see." The Soviet special envoy said with a smile: "Both our countries need A divided, weak Europe. This Europe is better cut into dozens of weak countries, each of which cannot pose a threat to you or me."

"This statement is very interesting. I agree with your views on the situation in Europe, which is also the basis for us to discuss cooperation when we sit together today." Roosevelt nodded.

The Soviet Union is now the only * country in the world, and it is more terrifying to capitalism than poison. To put it bluntly, Germany's current rampage in Europe is actually just a capitalist civil war. If the Soviet Union joins it, the taste of the entire war will change, and it will become so that the United States dare not taste it easily.

If the United States aids the Soviet Union, no one can tell whether the United States can withstand the pressure of a powerful Soviet Union after the war even if it defeats Germany. And once this game is out of the control of the United States, only God knows whether the United States' world hegemony can continue in the end.

The cooperation plan brought by the Soviet Union is simply a huge aid plan. The United States will provide the Soviet Union with a series of support such as technology and raw materials to help the Soviet Union win the war against Germany. Of course, after Germany's strategic space is compressed, the interests of the United States will become more stable.

This is the reason why Roosevelt was really tempted: Germany and the Soviet Union are fighting. This is the established policy. The appeasement policy of Britain and France was actually exactly the same as the idea of ​​the United States. It was to encourage Germany and the Soviet Union to fight and everyone cheered .

Although there was a small change in this plan in the end, that is, Germany first attacked France and the United Kingdom, but it has been delayed in attacking the intended target, the Soviet Union. But now the mistake seems to have been corrected, and the two countries will eventually fight. So the United States has a new betting table, betting on who will win this time, Germany or the Soviet Union.

As for the European line of influence that the Soviet Union promised never to cross, or the scope of the red regime that will eventually bear fruit, the Americans are not at all cold. The Soviet Union, or its predecessor Tsarist Russia, is the country that unilaterally tore up the most treaties in the world. What it promises now is no different from farting. In the end, whether Europe will completely turn red or be divided into two is completely determined by the strength of both parties. Yes, it has nothing to do with the content of the treaty.

Therefore, the result that the United States hopes to see is not a post-war division commitment, but just a fight between the Soviet Union and Germany-as long as these two countries fight, then the latter problems will not be a problem. Now that the fight has started, it will have a weakening effect. Weakening Germany and the Soviet Union is good news for the United States.

"Mr. Soviet Envoy,

I admit that the United States does not want to see a unified and strong Europe, but the United States also does not want to see a red Europe. There are still serious differences in ideology between you and me, so I have to carefully consider your proposal . "Thinking of this, Roosevelt decided to have a round of bargaining first.

"I heard that the United States sank dozens of freighters by German submarines in the North Atlantic Ocean, and the protest to Germany was ignored by that arrogant head of state?" the Soviet special envoy asked.

"Yes. Germany ignored the protests of the United States, and they squandered the friendship and trust of the United States." Roosevelt said with a cold snort. Everyone knows that the United States has aided the United Kingdom, and the German attack on American ships is also well known, but everyone pretends to be confused, and no one wants to mention the tricks in it.

The United States is now dealing with the British over Canada and Australia. The British are about to pawn their pants to the United States for their colonies. Of course, the Japanese invasion of China in Asia has also damaged the interests of the United States in the Far East. Both sides Now that swords are on the verge of breaking out in the Pacific Ocean, these unfinished things make the United States dare not directly intervene in European issues for the time being.

When Germany was missed by a stunned Soviet Union, the United States was also confused by an unreasonable hand planted by Germany. There is no shortage of existences in the world that other countries cannot understand, such as the Soviet Union, which is bent on spreading the seeds of revolution, or Japan, which does not know where its self-confidence comes from.

"The Soviet Union will defeat Germany. Our request is very simple, that is, in the event of a stalemate between the two countries or a situation where the Soviet Union is unfavorable, the United States can help the Soviet Union." The Soviet representative came up with his own conditions, and he also knew what those things were. The nonsense about carve-up Europe cannot impress the United States, and it must come up with some practical and useful things.

If the Soviet Union attacked Germany like a bamboo, then there would be nothing wrong with the United States. The result would be that the Soviet Union dominated Eurasia and the world's first super empire was born. But what if the Soviet Union failed to achieve its operational goals? Then follow-up questions will follow.

If there is a stalemate on the battlefield between the two countries, then the position of the United States will become crucial. Once the Soviet Union receives assistance from the United States, the chances of defeating Germany will be even greater. Of course, on the other hand, if the Soviet Union fails in the battle and the war develops in a direction that favors the German army, then the assistance provided by the United States to the Soviet Union will be even more important. These materials can at least make a more balanced world pattern appear in the future.

As the United States, which is watching the fire from the other side, it is best that this world war can make all countries impoverished, leaving only one United States that can survive alone. In this way, the United States can become the world leader and replace Britain as the next world hegemony. Of course, this is the best result.

Now it seems that 80% of the United States will be involved in this world war. If it is not fighting the Japanese in the Far East, it will fight the Germans in Europe. Now it depends on how the United States wants to choose its future competitors, whether to unite with the Soviet Union to destroy Germany, or to sit back and ignore Germany's growth and compete with Germany for the position of world leader in the future.

"Such a result is easier for people to accept." Roosevelt nodded after thinking for a long time and said, "I will raise relevant issues and propose that Congress approve the Soviet Union's accession to the "U.S.-Canada-UK Alliance Agreement" and become the fourth country in the alliance agreement. .”

However, after he finished speaking, he continued without waiting for the Soviet representative to speak: "However, the Soviet Union is not a party to the Washington Naval Treaty. Four of the eight battleships planned by the Soviet Union have been completed. These advanced battleships and the Soviet aircraft carriers that may appear in the future Numbers must be controlled, and our two countries should start negotiations on the number of navies."

"That's no problem, Mr. President." The representative of the Soviet Union quickly nodded in agreement. After all, the Soviet Union does not have the strength to compete with the United States for world hegemony at this time, so its current vision is very short-sighted, and it can win the support of the United States to win the upcoming Soviet Union The German war is its primary problem at present.

Then the representative of the Soviet Union expressed his sincerity: "The Far East Fleet of the Soviet Navy will visit Las Vegas and San Francisco in the United States, opening up the situation for the friendly relations between the two countries. In addition, the Soviet Navy is willing to stop building a battleship, so as a condition, the United States is invited to Come forward and do the Soviet Union a small favor."

"North Gate?" Roosevelt was not stupid, he naturally knew what the real problem the Soviet Union was worried about. No country wants its army to fight on two fronts, and will try to keep its backyard in a relatively stable state during the war.

But the outbreak of the Battle of Nomenkan was really too coincidental, so coincidental that it made both the Soviets and the Americans a little angry. This incident clearly has the influence of the Germans, including the series of victories achieved by the Japanese army in China, which can be regarded as an exchange between Germany and the Japanese government for its Far East interests.

However, this exchange was indeed effective, and it made the Soviet Union have to consider the consequences of falling into a two-front battle. Therefore, the Western Front War, which was already well prepared, was forced to stop, waiting for Japan in the Far East and the United States farther away to give themselves a proper statement.

"Yes, President Roosevelt. The Soviet Union hopes that the United States will put pressure on Japan to end the Nomenkan incident and make Japan completely give up the idea of ​​going north." The Soviet special envoy nodded and said.

"What is needed of America?" Roosevelt asked.

"It's very simple. If the United States stops exporting oil to Japan, it can guarantee that Japan will not have any unrealistic ideas about the Soviet Union." The Soviet envoy replied directly.

"This will trigger a war between the United States and Japan! It will involve the United States in this world war!" Roosevelt frowned and said, "How could the United States do such a thing?"

"At this time, does the United States still want to stay out of the war? Even if the United States does not cut off Japan's oil supply, Japan will attack the US military base in the Far East at the right time." The Soviet envoy said.

It is an indisputable fact that Japan is going south, and now it is winning more and more victories in attacking the British and French territories. Judging by the speed of Japan going south, it seems that it will not be long before it hits the Philippines and Malaysia in the United States, and these areas are short of Japan. of oil resources. Although the output is very small, there are still some, right? So it is an open secret that Japan will definitely go to war with the United States.

"Let me think about it! I need to have a meeting with my advisor. I won't give you an answer in days...days." Roosevelt closed his eyes, feeling extremely tired.
