Chapter 2151： Double anchor policy three (1/2)
”There will be opposition, but it will not be very big.” Roosevelt raised his first finger after speaking: ”The Russian government of the Tsarist Empire has fallen, and a new Russian government will be established in the future. From this perspective, Germany There is no reason to continue the war. After all, Germany cannot completely swallow Russia, and Russia has no ability to regain its own territory. In the case that neither side can completely defeat the opponent, the possibility of a direct hard confrontation is not high. Speaking of Russia’s hatred of Germany? This will certainly continue, but it will certainly not break out now!”
”But Britain is not the same. The British are not completely defeated. They still have a strong fleet, colonies all over the world, and they have the basis for a comeback. Russia cannot see this for the time being. Therefore, Germany's attitude towards Britain is definitely better than that of Russia. It's much more sensitive.”
”The second point.” Roosevelt stretched out his second finger and said: ”Germany needs the Far East market, not only Southeast Asia but also East Asia. At best, we can only solve the problems of the Southeast Asian market. To solve the East Asian market, we must It is impossible for Germany to speak with the army, and it is impossible for Germany to use a large number of the army, so it needs a spokesperson to beat the Japanese fiercely on the land. Therefore, the confrontation between the Russian army and the Japanese army is beneficial to Germany, and even to some extent. , Germany will support Russia!”
”The third point is that Russia is a double-headed eagle. They look at Europe with one head and Asia with the other. Russia is at a disadvantage whether it is Europe facing Germany or Asia facing Japan. Russia is enemies on both sides. Therefore, no matter if a new Russian regime is finally established, they must be friendly to us. Only we can help them, and they will fight for us!” Roosevelt said with some pride.
”This is a good idea, at least we have a more reliable ally. Let us not be alone in Europe.” Taft thought for a while and said.
”However, the choice of our partners is also a problem. The internal situation in Russia is very complicated. There are Bolsheviks, Kolchak, and some anarchists. Who do we choose? How do we get in touch with them?” Robert. Lan Xin asked.
”The Germans choose to reach an agreement with whomever we choose.” Roosevelt said: ”Germany will eventually only reach a treaty with the victors in Russia. Before that, we cannot cross Germany and Russia, but it doesn't matter, whether it is Whoever wins in Russia, they must go to war with the Japanese in the Far East, unless the Japanese themselves withdraw from Russian territory.”
Does it matter who is in power in Russia? In fact, it is really not important to the United States. What Roosevelt needs is that the Russians can provide the army and contain Japan. It is enough to complete this task. As for ideology or something. Germany is not the same as the United States. How do you say it? There are only eternal interests and no eternal friends! A Russia that can cooperate with the American strategy is a good Russia!
”Then General Pershing, General Benson, how do you judge this plan?” Roosevelt saw that the government's problem had been resolved, so he asked two U.S. military representatives.
”This is a new battlefield. There is no conflict with our original plan in the Pacific, so we agree with the plan of the President.” Pershing glanced at Benson. The latter did not express any opposition, so Pershing's plan for Roosevelt Agree.
”In this way, we will have two allies in the Far East in the future. At sea, the United States Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet depart from Pearl Harbor and attack the island of Guinea all the way. In East Asia, the Russian army will attack Japan in the Far East. If the latter progresses smoothly, we can even drive Japan’s military and political influence out of Southeast Asia!”
