Chapter 825

The United States has already reached a number of agreements with the United Kingdom.

For example, the British companies in the United States have been sold to the United States at low prices, which has made American capitalists a lot of money. Let the United States no longer have any objections.

Moreover, Hamer, an excellent second-hand businessman, successfully got the British to mortgage some overseas military bases to the United States and become the bridgehead of the United States, which has brought huge benefits to the United States.

But now, the British government has changed hands.

George VI has been convicted by London, and Churchill has become a sinner. In this case, the package agreement reached by the United Kingdom and the United States is almost at risk of being abandoned.

For the United States, this is of course inappropriate, but more difficult to accept, or the euro.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Germany occupied the entire Europe, it has begun to plan to integrate Europe. The current euro is the first step!

Britain, France, and Germany, when united, are enough to become the confidant of the United States!

"The Germans are threatening us by wanting to turn our foreign exchange reserves into waste paper," Roosevelt continued, taking a puff of his cigar, then said, "We should warn the Germans that if they do, they are threatening us with We declare war on America!"

In this era, the United States is not as powerful as later generations, and the US dollar has not become the world currency. Under the influence of the empire on which the sun never sets, the common currency in the world is still the British pound.

If the United States wants to do business with Europe and the pound area, it naturally needs to have sterling reserves, and there are also a lot of francs, but because Germany's economy only improved in the 1930s, their mark reserves not many.

If these foreign exchange reserves are all turned into waste paper, the loss of the United States is absolutely unbearable! At the same time, this will become more of a fuse.

If these foreign exchange reserves of the United States become waste paper, it means war for the United States!

For the United States, a major war is imminent, and it is a question of whether to fight early or late. Now it seems that fighting late will be more troublesome.

The strength of Germany today is still not as good as that of the United States. However, once Germany has completed the integration of the whole of Europe, it will be quite difficult for the United States to confront Germany again. A unified Europe will be powerful enough to make people feel terrible!

Since we have to fight, it is better to fight now, first enter the Middle East, support the United Kingdom, and then continue to recover the territory until the whole of Europe is recovered!

Roosevelt's eyes already had bloodshots in his eyes. As the helm of the United States, he had to take a lot of risk in making this decision. If he failed, he would be doomed.

"No, we haven't had the time yet," said Marshall, chief of the army's general staff. "Now, the German army is almost invincible. Even if our army goes up, I am afraid it will end in the same way. Unprepared, we were on land, not a match for the Germans."

The United States has not prepared for war on a large scale, has not called up reserves, and has not mobilized for war. Even if all this is done, can the United States win against Germany?

Really not necessarily! The Germans have never failed. The Germans' equipment is five years ahead of their own!

"Germany has completed its expansion to the west, and the Germans should expand to the east." Secretary of State Hull said: "If the Germans invade the Soviet Union, it will definitely pay a heavy price, and then is our time. "

It's not suitable for war now. When the Germans are in the limelight, the American bar is very easy to be bleeding from the anus!

Roosevelt nodded: "Yes, we are not ready for war yet, but what about the Germans? If they really decide to attack the Soviet Union, they will certainly not annoy us at this time, so, with this attitude, we It must be done.”

That's what Roosevelt meant.

How can the Germans, who want to use the euro to bring the United States to its knees, stop supporting George VI and support Berlin instead?

Now, the United States is going to put on a serious posture. If you dare to turn the foreign exchange in my hand into waste paper, then I will declare war on you. I have long disliked you and want to beat you!

Yes, it's you, what to look at, and then look at you!

The United States wants to continue to support George VI, but the foreign exchange of the United States also has value. Whenever you want to exchange it with Germany, you have to exchange it for me!

By the way, just change it directly to gold! Gold is hard currency after all! You don't have to change your euros either, it just hits the mark!

"We are also slowly transitioning to the war system, and after the Germans conquer Europe, it will definitely become the biggest threat to us." Roosevelt continued: "Especially now, if the Germans are not going to make concessions, to us Say, that means war begins! I propose that Congress pass a bill to increase the defense budget by another 20 percent."

War, Roosevelt has mentioned the word more than once! Roosevelt has repeatedly urged Congress to increase defense spending since the beginning of Germany's expansion in Europe, and now, another 20 percent increase, shows the seriousness of the event.

America, ready to go to war!

"Mr. President, Prime Minister Churchill telegraphed from Cairo, saying that the British government will firmly defend the position of the pound as the world currency and will resolutely resist German attempts to destroy the British economy."

The White House chief of staff came in and reported Churchill's telegram to Roosevelt.

Resolutely defend? What did Churchill defend? Roosevelt shook his head, the Germans had unified Europe, and it was too easy to kill the British army in the Middle East.

"Tell Prime Minister Churchill that we in the United States will do everything in our power to support the British government until the final counter-offensive takes place," Roosevelt said.

The foreign policy of the United States cannot be changed. If it turns to support Edward VIII, the United States will not gain any benefits. On the contrary, it will only fuel Germany's arrogance.

Now, the United States must spare no effort to support Churchill. If Europe is truly unified, the United States will never have peace in the future.

Roosevelt's attitude was very firm, and at the same time, after the oval table meeting, Secretary of State Hull summoned the German ambassador to the United States to present to him the decision of the United States.

Germany, the foreign exchange reserves of the United States must be exchanged unconditionally, and not in euros, but in gold! I hope Germany will take it seriously and not try to interfere in the foreign policy of the United States!
