Chapter 424 The longest-serving president of the United States
Stilwell picked up the coffee, tasted it lightly, and said slowly: "To be honest, I don't know much, but the information collected from all aspects is enough to see that this army is extremely powerful and mysterious!
They have many advanced weapons and equipment that lead the way, such as semi-automatic rifles, tanks, armored vehicles, anti-tank bazooka, fighter jets, helicopters and radars!
Not only are these weapons and equipment much better than our current equipment, but we are still in the research and development state of some equipment!
I don’t know if these weapons and equipment were made by them, or if they were really imported and smuggled to China from where they were imported and smuggled!
Well, to be precise, this is a huge mystery that cannot be solved so far!
But I firmly believe that there must be an extremely amazing secret behind this mystery, and it is very likely that it will influence the entire world situation in the future! …”
"What? Are you saying true?"
After listening to Stilwell's explanation, Roosevelt's elegant smile instantly frozen, and he looked like he was a ghost and said, "What kind of powerful force does China have? Are you sure you are not kidding me?"
Stilwell nodded seriously and said, "Mr. President, every word I say is true! Because the Chinese commander did a very good job of keeping confidentiality, those core weapons and equipment were only circulated in the gossip and could not be touched by outsiders!
But paper can never contain the fire. We have obtained verification through various channels. These extremely advanced weapons and equipment are real and have caused major casualties to the Japanese repeatedly!"
"So, this is really a piece of news worthy of attention!"
Roosevelt's eyes were frozen, he tapped his fingers on the table and pondered for a while, and said to Stilwell: "Since that's the case, when you return to China again during that time, please be sure to understand in depth!
Our United States of America is the most advanced and developed country in the world. We need to always maintain this leading level. Although we are far away from the Eurasian battlefield and the war is far away from us, we still need to remain highly vigilant and must be fully prepared!”
Stilwell nodded and said, "Mr. President said very well. I also think that the ambitions of the Japanese will not be limited to China. If they expand and expand further, they will inevitably have conflicts of interest with our United States of America in the future!"
"This is something to be considered in the future! At least the current time Congress will not allow us to intervene in the Sino-Japanese War!"
Roosevelt shook his head. In fact, he had always had such concerns and predictions in his heart, but as the US president, he was subject to too many restrictions and constraints. His main task at present is to develop the economy and realize his campaign promises, rather than joining the war and becoming a savior!
The Great Depression in the United States in 1929 made life extremely difficult for most Americans. Although Herbert Hoover's president tried various efforts, the economy has not improved.
From 1930 to 1933, a serious economic crisis broke out in the United States, with great famines and widespread malnutrition throughout the United States, resulting in abnormal deaths of a large population.
The most conservative estimate is that at least 8 million people were starved to death, accounting for about 7% of the total U.S. population at that time.
Especially in the darkest 1932, the United States experienced a great famine and starved people to death. The number of malnutrition children sometimes reached more than 90%. Their symptoms were "thinking to sleep, laziness, sleepiness, and hindered intellectual development."
There are 3.3 million children in the United States who are out of school, and girls risk their pregnancy to support their families and sell their bodies on the streets at 10 cents a time.
Children born during this period were short and later called the "depressed generation".
Due to long-term malnutrition, when the United States needed to supplement a large number of soldiers in World War II, 40% of them were eliminated due to unqualified physical fitness!
Millions of people are spared from death only because they are willing to live like animals, eating wild grass roots, dandelions, purple loliacea leaves, wild onions, forget-me-nots, wild lettuce, and wild grasses that have always been specially given to animals.
And while the people are suffering from hunger and fighting death, let's see what American capitalists are doing: when workers are hungry and cold, they pour a lot of milk into the sea and into the Mississippi River, and they are not cheap to sell to the poor.
This is also a well-known capitalist economic crisis in history books and political textbooks!
A large number of Americans lined up outside the Soviet History Museum in the United States to wait for visas, and in the end only 100,000 American technical engineers immigrated to the Soviet Union.?
In 1932, Roosevelt was elected president of the United States. During the campaign, he promised the people of the whole country that if he could be elected, he would implement a new policy that would completely change the current situation of the United States and get the United States out of the Great Depression.
In fact, Roosevelt succeeded and became the longest-serving president of the United States.
Just as Roosevelt was in deep thought, Stilwell interrupted, "Mr. President, there is another thing I feel is necessary to report to you!
This time I returned to China to report my work, 11 Chinese people came back on the same boat as me. They were loyal subordinates of the commander of the Chinese Tiger Army. In name, they came to the United States to organize patriotic overseas Chinese to fight against Japan!
But I always think it’s not simple!”
Roosevelt's eyes froze and said, "Well, I understand! Let's wait and see. The Chinese population in the United States is not large, but it is a force that cannot be ignored! As long as they have no bad intentions, we can still support and strengthen China's anti-Japanese power!"
In 1894, the Hongmen tycoon Situ Meitang established Anliangtang in Hongmen. Roosevelt was hired as a lawyer shortly after he joined the company and was hired as a legal counsel. The organization developed rapidly and soon established branches in many places in the United States.
Therefore, Roosevelt has a good understanding of the Chinese American community and has always taken the core policy of supporting China's status as a great power!
Roosevelt said in his policy toward China: "For China, we have two goals: First, effectively fight against Japan together;
Second, in the war and after the war, in order to establish international organizations and achieve stability and prosperity in the East, China was recognized and built into a major power with the same status as the three powerful Western allies, Russia, Britain and the United States."
Of course, Roosevelt's idea of the status of a great power in China was not simply for the rise of China. It not only reflects Roosevelt's diplomatic philosophy, but more importantly, it reflects the national interests of the United States.
