Chapter 892: Wrong Casting

"We want to maintain the stability of the Far East." Roosevelt said to Nomura Yoshizaburo while sipping a cocktail: "If the military of the island countries continues to develop into Southeast Asia, then we will regard it as a threat to us."

Now, Roosevelt is just to warn the island countries, and let the island countries turn their backs on the rat. If they continue to develop south, they will threaten the interests of the United States in Southeast Asia. Although the United States is unable to escape from the situation in Europe, it does not mean that the island countries can do whatever you want.

"Yes, I also hope to maintain the stability of the Far East." Nomura Yoshizaburo said that as a diplomat, he needs to switch among various roles. Now, whether it is from the standpoint of a good friend, or to stabilize and confuse Americans , must make a statement that the stability of the Far East is of great importance.

After drinking this glass of wine, Nomura Yoshizaburo asked again, "What's going on in the Pacific Ocean? Haven't you contacted your navy yet?"

At this moment, Chief of Staff Marshall hurried over from the outside and whispered in Roosevelt's ear. Hearing this, Roosevelt's face changed greatly.

"What's wrong? My friend?" Nomura Kisaburo asked.

"Our navy, in the Pacific Ocean, sank a submarine. Now, it is being confirmed." Roosevelt said: "When my order arrived, the nearby surface ships had already started the salvage work after the sinking."

"What?" Nomura Jisaburo stood up immediately, his face flushed: "This is an insult to our big island country! I'm sorry, I have to leave for the time being!"

At this moment, he resumed his role as a diplomat.

He came here originally to stop the U.S. Navy from encircling and suppressing its own submarines, but now that their own submarines have been sunk, then he is here, no matter what he says, it is already too late!

He needs to go back and see what the attitude of the island nation is. The worst consequence is that those hardliners will start a war against the United States!

"The Navy believes that it was the German submarine that was sunk, and it has nothing to do with your submarine." Roosevelt said, watching the back of Nomura Yoshizaburo leaving.

Nomura Yoshizaburo's back shook, but he still didn't look back. Isn't this an excuse? This excuse is a bigger insult to the island country and a bigger stimulus!

"Let's go," Roosevelt said. "Looks like we can't rest again tonight."

If Roosevelt issued an order immediately when he received the news of Nomura Yoshizaburo, the accidental attack could have been avoided. However, for various purposes, Roosevelt deliberately delayed the time.

Now, the error has been cast.

"Now, our fleet is still salvaging at sea, and the various items found can prove that this is an island submarine." Marshall said: "Everyone, we have caused this accidental attack. Now, it's up to me How to deal with it."

There are two ways to deal with it. Either, say hello to the island country, admit that you made a mistake, and at most compensate for the loss, and that's over.

Or, just insist that we are attacking a German submarine. As for why there is no news about the submarine in the island country, there are too many reasons. The submarine has a mechanical accident, the radio of the submarine is broken, and even the personnel on the submarine are in the opposite direction. ...In short, it has nothing to do with the US side.

At that time, the island country will definitely protest seriously, but so what? If they don't admit it, what else can the island country do?

Therefore, everyone is not too nervous. This is an ordinary incident. Anyway, it is not the United States that suffers.

Everyone said what you said, and I said how to deal with it. In short, if you play the island country once, even if it is over, no matter how angry the island country is, things will always calm down.

But after a few sips on the cigar, Roosevelt spoke up.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about why the island nation's submarines appear in those waters?"

Roosevelt's words mean something else.

Island countries have always been developing in East Asia. However, the ambition of the islanders must not be underestimated. The islanders will not be satisfied with the status quo, and once they attack Southeast Asia, they will definitely pose a threat to the United States.

In this case, the United States will not sit back and watch. The United States has a powerful Pacific Fleet, and the United States will threaten the maritime transportation of island countries at any time. Then, the island countries will not be willing to be threatened by the United States.

This submarine appeared in the Pacific Ocean, only 300 nautical miles away from Hawaii, the territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. So, can you think that this submarine went to the Pacific Ocean to scout the American naval base in Hawaii?

This idea of ​​Roosevelt made everyone stunned. The island country, that small place, dare to have any unreasonable thoughts about the United States?

"Mr. President, this idea of ​​yours is a little too shocking, isn't it?" Marshall said.

"Yes, I don't want the islanders to have this idea, but the island submarines running into the Pacific Ocean are always a threat to us." Roosevelt said.

"Mr. President, I support your analysis," the Secretary of State said.

"I propose that we pass a resolution that any submarine sailing in the Pacific Ocean is illegal and will be attacked by us. Maintaining the absolute safety of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is the mission of our Pacific Fleet," Roosevelt said. .

Now, even if the US made a typo, that's fine! Who let you sail in the Pacific? The United States, which has taken over the New World, is now finally showing its sharp teeth.

"The island nation will protest," Marshall said.

"If they want to protest, then we will pass new resolutions, such as an embargo on the island countries, in order to protect our interests." Roosevelt said.

Up to now, the trade between the United States and the island countries is quite frequent, and many of the raw materials needed by the island countries are imported from the United States, such as the most important oil!

If the supplies to the island country are cut off, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the island country.

Doing so will force the island country to gamble?

The east is not bright, and the west is bright. What the United States needs now is an excuse for war. If the island country really does something against the United States, then Roosevelt has a good reason!

Those present may have guessed what Roosevelt was thinking, but no one said it.

Just when the meeting was held overnight in the oval table conference room, a radio wave flew from the island country's embassy back to the island country Tokyo.

After getting this news, the island nation was immediately angry, and the island nation's navy was even more angry, but some of the island nation's navy fell into excitement.

"This is our best chance! Our Z plan finally has a chance to be implemented!" said an old devil with great interest.
