Chapter 1165 No Friends Forever

There is no doubt that China will definitely make great changes because of this, and it is very likely that it will be one of the first countries in the Allied camp to obtain independence and liberation.

Then, in a very short period of entry, China will quickly enter the ranks of developed industrial countries, and even reach the world's leading level in military and technology fields, becoming the leader of the entire world.

Such speculation results were by no means imagined by Roosevelt and others, but were deduced by many professionals in the White House after careful research.

And such a result will never be a good thing for the United States!

The world is in chaos at the moment, with the Allies and the Axis Alliance fighting and consuming desperately, and everything is being reshuffled. This is not only a severe survival test for America, but also a great opportunity to soar into the sky.

As the president of the country, Roosevelt naturally hopes that the United States can seize this opportunity, replace the British Empire as the new "ball captain" on the earth, and lead the new order of the entire world.

According to relevant information, Yang Fan seemed to be harmless on the surface, but he was just a very pure warlord. His favorite thing was to seize the snow in front of the door, and he did not have much ambitions.

However, the strength and edge that Yang Fan has shown at the moment have determined that he will not be an honest person, but a terrible potential opponent. If he is allowed to develop, he will sooner or later become a strong enemy of the United States.

Although both sides are still fighting side by side in the same trench and need to unite and deal with the aggression of the Axis Alliance back to back, as politicians, what they consider will never be limited to just a little bit in front of them!

Retracting his thoughts, Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said in a deep voice: "This idea is good, but it's still the same sentence, it's just wishful thinking!

Yang Fan is a very smart and pragmatic businessman. If he does not have enough benefits, he will never agree."

Marshall smiled and said, "His Excellency President, as you said, Yang Fan is a businessman, he knows how to judge the situation and choose between interests.

If it were just for the benefit of others, he would definitely not easily send troops to the North African battlefield to do a loss-making business that would not be worth the cost, but as long as we can afford the price, Yang Fan would not refuse our request!”

“Can you afford the price?”

After chewing it carefully, Roosevelt frowned and said, "But the question is, what kind of price is enough to impress Yang Fan? Yang Fan is not short of money or weapons and equipment. We may not be able to afford the price that he cannot refuse!"

"No, Mr. President, we can afford it!"

Marshall smiled and said, "Yang Fan's ambitions, America has mobilized 5 million troops. We are still making every effort to provide weapons, equipment and strategic materials to the Soviet Union, Britain and other allies!

So we are now very short of weapons and equipment and industrial technicians, and we are no longer able to consume weapons and equipment to support the North African battlefield from the local area!”

Roosevelt instantly understood what Marshall meant in an instant, frowned and said, "Will Yang Fan and the Republic of China government really submit to such a naked threat?"

Marshall did not answer directly, but continued: "The British Empire is no longer the British Empire before, and Yang Fan is a very strong national element. He will definitely not be limited to the existing Chinese territory. So, at this time, Yang Fan must be happy to divide the legacy of the British Empire at the appropriate time?"

"Well, there are no eternal friends in this world. As long as these prices can play the desired role!"

Roosevelt sighed and said, "The Kingdom of China is really an ancient and mysterious country. Why do such magical figures and magical reversals always appear?"

After a pause, Roosevelt turned to look at Lexi and asked, "Is it the only Pacific battlefield left next?"

Lexi nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency the President, the Pacific battlefield is completely under the Japanese. If the US Navy cannot reverse the adverse situation and gain the initiative in the Pacific battlefield, it will not be able to give the Japanese enough threat.

After the Japanese quickly digested a large amount of war resources, they would continue to grow until they destroyed China and became a military power that the Allies could not shake!”

President Roosevelt immediately turned to look at Navy Chief of Staff Stark and said, "General Stark, what advice do you have?"

Stark nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency the President, I think we should change our strategy and no longer compete with the Japanese for the sea control of the Pacific."

Stark's suggestion was amazing and unpleasant, and seemed to be a complete surrender argument, but President Roosevelt did not question or deny it, but asked patiently: "Then tell me your reason."

Stark explained calmly: "Because it is obvious that the current tactics we are adopting can only consume our strength and vitality. When the Pacific Fleet cannot form a scale, it is impossible to compete with the powerful Japanese joint fleet!

Therefore, we might as well give up the battle for sea control in the Pacific and slowly accumulate strength.

When the US Navy has the strength to fight against the Japanese Navy, we will compete for the sea control of the Pacific!”

"It should be true in theory, but the question is, if we completely give up the sea control, wouldn't it mean that the Japanese navy was allowed to rampant on the West Coast? Will our West Sea port cities be hit by air strikes at any time?"

Roosevelt pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, the industrial production on the West Coast of the United States will be seriously disturbed and will also affect the full operation of the American war machine."

"His Excellency the President may have some impact, but this may not be another form of confrontation and war of attrition."

Stark said seriously, "Now the West Coast of the United States has established a complete air defense early warning system and equipped with a strong enough air force. It is no longer as easy for the Japanese Navy to harass the West Coast of the United States. We can respond and fight back in time.

Therefore, if the Japanese naval fleet dares to fight near the west coast, we will not only not suffer much damage, but we will have a great chance to severely damage the Japanese air force and even the Japanese naval ships."

"I understand! Then let the damn Japanese Navy be rampant for a while. Let's be patient for the time being and accumulate strength with all our might!"

President Roosevelt gritted his teeth. On the day he was attacked by Pearl Harbor, he began to dream of letting the despicable Japanese know how angry they were and to make them pay ten or a hundred times the price.

But it has been almost a year since the US Pacific Fleet has not yet formed its combat effectiveness, and the Pacific battlefield is still the world of the Japanese!

Such a long wait was really aggrieved and hurtful for Roosevelt!
