Chapter 727 Rainbow Project

Soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, and countries that do not want to dominate the world do not have qualified leaders.

For the United States, when the existing territory is completed, they are already facing two oceans.

In the Pacific, after the United States defeated Spain, its main opponent was Japan, which was allied with Britain. In the Atlantic Ocean, the United States has to guard against European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany.

In this way, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the international situation was still unclear. The United States did not take the initiative to participate in disputes, but was always vigilant to avoid war and itself. This is the two-ocean defense strategy.

At the end of the First World War, the United States began to develop a strategy for world hegemony. This is the Rainbow Project.

The Rainbow Plan, a magnificent operational plan, was developed by the United States Joint Operations Staff in the 1920s and 1930s.

This plan mainly includes the following aspects.

Project Red, and then Project Crimson: Used against the British Empire and Canada, this operational plan included the first invasion of Canada even before the British could react.

Black Plan: Used against Germany. The plan assumed that in World War I Germany would attempt to seize French colonies in the Caribbean, and that the United States would preempt those colonies.

Brown Project: Used to deal with national uprisings in the Philippines.

Gray Plan: Used to invade Central American countries.

Golden Plan: Used to defeat France.

Project Orange: Used to defeat Japan.

Silver Plan: Used to defeat Italy.

Project White: Used to defeat rebellion within the United States.

The Yellow Plan: It is used to deal with the war in China, especially the Sino-Japanese war.

Among them, the red plan is given the top priority. With the progress of the situation, the possibility of realization of this plan for the United States has become greater and greater.

Britain's national strength has been incomparable decline!

Now, the United Kingdom is unable to protect itself, how can it take care of overseas colonies? Canada is simply the meat of the United States!

The United States has always regarded itself as the master of the Americas. Looking at the rainbow plan above, you can know that the first thing the United States wants to rule is the entire Americas, especially Canada in the north!

Now, the most suitable time has come!

"Now, the British navy has almost been reduced to a coastal defense force, and the United Kingdom is preparing to counter the German landing. If we attack Canada now, the United Kingdom does not have any countermeasures."

Secretary of the Army Henry Stimson, holding the materials of the red plan in his hand, said to the person in front of him with interest: "We plan to occupy the Canadian port city of Halifax in the first stage, so that it can be completely cut off. Canada is linked to the UK."

"Afterwards, we invaded Canada in three separate ways. From Vermont to Montreal and Quebec City; from North Dakota to Winnipeg and its Quartermaster Depot; and from the American Midwest to invade Ontario's strategic nickel mines. At the same time, our navy needs to capture the Great Lakes region and blockade Canada's Atlantic and Pacific ports."

Once this plan is implemented, it is conceivable that Canada has almost no room to fight back. As long as there is no support from the United Kingdom, Canada is simply the fat on the lips of the United States.

Hearing this, Roosevelt frowned, but he did not speak.

On the side, Secretary of State Hull has already spoken out against it: "No, we can't do this!"

"Why?" Henry looked at Hull. There are no loopholes in this plan. Once Canada is occupied, the territory of the United States will expand to the whole of North America, isn't it good?

"Yes, from a purely military point of view, Britain is too busy to take care of itself, which is the best chance for us to occupy Canada. If we send troops now, we can easily take Canada. However, everyone, please see clearly, a bigger The enemy has already appeared." Hull's tone was serious.

"Now that Germany has occupied the whole of Western Europe, if we capture Canada at this time, the United Kingdom will be hit even more, so to speak, it will accelerate the defeat of the United Kingdom, so that we will no longer face a scattered mess. Various European countries, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, etc., but a unified and powerful country, when Germany integrates the whole of Western Europe, it will definitely become our worst enemy!"

Hull keenly saw the problem.

European countries are not large in land area and have various contradictions in history. Europe is a mass of scattered sand.

But if Europe were integrated, it would be different, and there is no doubt that Europe would be a formidable enemy! A unified Europe would seriously threaten the interests of the United States!

And now, this trend has begun. Recently, it is said that Cyric has been in France all the time, and the Germans are said to be working on some European bank, intending to unify the currencies of the entire occupied area.

This is the first step in the unification of Europe. The currency has been unified, and the various factories have been unified. With the strong technical support of the Germans, it is conceivable that Europe will soon become stronger, so powerful that the United States can touch it. dangerous!

The two sides are only separated by the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, will the aggressive Cyric face the United States across the sea and remain friendly?

Hull, who has foreseen the worst, has always opposed domestic isolationism and has always hoped to help Britain.

At least, you can use Britain to consume Germany's strength. Germany has a small population. In the war, one less death can reduce the burden on the United States!

"It is precisely because of this that we have to invade Canada even more. If Britain surrenders quickly like France, then as a British colony, Canada is likely to be claimed by the Germans. At that time, the Germans will directly contact us on land. Handover, although we are not afraid, you are well aware of the offensive capabilities of the German Army," Henry said.

Now is a good opportunity, if you don't fight now, the consequences will be more serious!

Henry was trying to persuade Hull, and Hull was trying to persuade Henry.

In the entire oval table conference room, almost the two were arguing. Roosevelt, who was in a wheelchair, never spoke.

As the president of the United States, they are very interested in expanding their territory. It can be said that expanding territory to the north is indeed a good opportunity, but it will bring more terrible consequences, which the United States cannot accept!

"Report, British Prime Minister Churchill, secretly came to Washington, hoping to meet with you." At this moment, an assistant came in and reported.
