Age of Conquest Reborn

President Roosevelt of the United States authorized Secretary of State Eric to negotiate with the Mexican government and is willing to provide the Mexican government army with the most advanced weapons and equipment free of charge, and send officers at all levels to help the Mexican government army train soldiers. This is also free of charge and has only one purpose.

It was hoped that the Mexican government troops, equipped with American equipment and trained by U.S. military officers, could withstand the German troops for a while and buy the United States some buffer time.

Roosevelt did not have extravagant expectations that the Mexicans could completely block the fierce German troops from the southern border of the United States. He only needed the Mexicans to buy the United States more than half a year, and he would be satisfied. For this, he was very satisfied.

Have expectations.

Seeing the president nodding to his head, Secretary of State Eric stood up and said with a wry smile on his face: "Mr. President, according to your instructions, I have informed Mexico of our government's intentions through Ambassador Kedeley to Mexico.

President Pedelia conveyed our government’s proposal. According to Kedeli’s telegram, the talks went smoothly at that time, and Pedelia’s attitude was also very enthusiastic.”

At this point, the bitterness on Eric's face became more intense, "However, when it came time to make the final decision, the President of Mexico proposed that it was not enough for the U.S. government to just provide weapons, equipment and instructors. Recruiting soldiers requires

Spending money, especially recruiting an army large enough to resist the Germans, is even more expensive. The current Mexican government is financially strapped and hopes that the U.S. government can spend at least $50 million to recruit soldiers in the early stages!

"

Take the opportunity to rip off! This was the unanimous conclusion of all the U.S. politicians who attended the meeting, including President Roosevelt. Some grumpy military generals were even more furious, "Damn Mexicans. Those short-sighted North Americans."

Aboriginal people, just raise the price and let the United States arm your government troops. It will cost a huge amount of money and it will cost a lot of money. You are greedy!"

Lieutenant General Clark, deputy chief of staff of the Army, stood up angrily and said to Roosevelt: "Mr. President, I personally believe that this greedy request from the Mexican government must be rejected. At the same time, the U.S. military forces that have gathered on the southern border must be rejected.

The team should enter Mexico immediately. We cannot leave the security of the southern United States to the Mexicans. They are simply unreliable!"

Lieutenant General Clark's opinion represents the opinion of most military generals. They have always looked down upon the indigenous neighbor in the south. They do not believe that the Mexicans can stop the Germans for the United States and intend to attack the United States.

ambition.

Major General Kevins, director of the U.S. Army Intelligence Agency, stood up and added: "Mr. President, I agree with Lieutenant General Clark's opinion. According to the intelligence obtained by our Army Intelligence Agency, the German head of state, Hitler, has sent a special envoy to Mexico. Specific details

The mission is unknown, but according to my judgment, it is nothing more than to persuade the Mexican government to join the Germans and deal with us together. Therefore, the military must take action to prevent possible dangerous consequences!"

President Roosevelt sighed secretly, feeling sad for the short-sightedness and radicalism of these military generals. How long have they been making enemies everywhere? Although the neighbor in the south is greedy and takes the opportunity to rip off, no matter from which perspective, even if it is

The attitude of the Mexican government is **, as long as it does not clearly throw itself into the arms of the Germans, it is a barrier to prevent the Germans from attacking the United States.

If the U.S. Army enters Mexico, wouldn't it force the Mexican government to cooperate with the Germans? Roosevelt absolutely believed that as long as the U.S. Army entered Mexico, the Mexican government would immediately turn to the Germans. In this case, how could the United States

It's not that there is an enemy out of thin air. The Mexicans do not need to assist the German army in attacking the United States. As long as they provide logistical support to the German army, it will be a disaster for the United States!

"A group of warriors cannot see the imminent crisis. What the U.S. government needs to do now is to do everything it can to win over the Mexican government so that it will not fall into the arms of Hitler!" Roosevelt even felt like scolding these military generals.

Qian Feng said to Secretary of State Eric: "As the special envoy of the President of the United States, you rush to Mexico in person to explain the attitude of our U.S. government to President Pedlier face to face!"

"First, our U.S. government is willing to provide 50 million U.S. dollars unconditionally to recruit soldiers. Second, the conditions of the original commitment remain unchanged. Third, the U.S. government is willing to sign a military mutual assistance treaty and economic cooperation with the Mexican government.

Mutual assistance treaty and a series of documents!”

During the Double Ninth Festival for the military generals, they never expected that the President would actually agree to the Mexican government’s shameless and excessive request. Even some civilian officials had bad expressions on their faces. They knew that the three conditions given by the President to the Mexican government would not be good for the United States.

What does it mean!

What's more, behind these civilian officials are the interest groups that dominate American politics and economy. The president is hemorrhaging money and using the interests of the United States to show favor to the Mexican government. This will inevitably affect the core interests of some interest groups. First of all, in both Congresses,

It would not pass the House of Representatives, and the civil servants were eager to adjourn the meeting immediately so that they could report to their backstage President Roosevelt's actions at today's meeting.

President Roosevelt was really unwilling to explain too much to this group of military and political officials who were short-sighted and had no ideas. He did not have the energy, so he simply said: "The issue just now does not need to be discussed.

, we in the United States must mobilize the whole country to fight a war to defend our homeland. Tomorrow, I will submit the 'Wartime National Mobilization Act!' to Congress! Okay, adjourn now!"

"Jeffrey, Kevins, you two stay here for a while!" he said to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of Army Intelligence.

All the military and political officials who attended the joint meeting left. In the President's Office, Roosevelt alone assigned tasks to Major General Kevins, Director of Army Intelligence, "Kevins, the current priorities of Army Intelligence are two. One.

Yes, I will do my best to collect the movements of the German troops assembled on the southern border of Mexico, especially whether the Germans will continue to increase their troops. What I need is the most accurate intelligence!"

"Second, closely monitor the movements of Japanese troops on the Hawaiian Islands and monitor whether Japan continues to send more troops to the Hawaiian Islands. This is crucial. When it comes to the life and death of our United States, we must make accurate judgments!"

This is the first time that the President has personally assigned a task to an intelligence agency. Director Kevins is very excited. This means that the military intelligence agency can come into the eyes of the President. From then on, there is no doubt that the status will rise.

"Yes! Mr. President, the Army Intelligence Agency must provide the president with the latest and most accurate information on the Germans and Japanese!" he immediately stated.

"Very well, Kevins, I believe in you, and I believe even more in the work ability of the Army Intelligence Agency!" Roosevelt encouraged, "Also, all intelligence involving the Germans and Japanese should be reported directly to the Office of the President and handed over to

Joelna, regarding this kind of information, the smaller the scope of the people and agencies who know the content, the better, do you understand?"

Of course, Kevins understood that the Army Intelligence Bureau was directly responsible to Mr. President, which was a good thing. In other words, he was now the president's confidant. Major General Kevins left with great satisfaction and excitement.

Feeling.

In the office, only Roosevelt and General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were left. Facing his most loyal subordinates and absolute confidants, he no longer needed to disguise himself. His strong spirit suddenly disappeared.

Well, at this moment, Roosevelt was as frail as a dying old man, with his sallow face covered in cold sweat. It took him a while to catch his breath, and he felt a little better!

Jefferfield looked at the haggard president worriedly. Roosevelt told him not to worry, and then said: "Jeffrey, the United States is now facing an unprecedented crisis. The danger of national destruction is right in front of us. The cruel situation forces us to

, we must make the most painful choice!"

General Jefferfield was shocked. He guessed what the president meant and hesitantly answered, "Mr. President, do you mean to give up Australia?"

"Yes!" Roosevelt nodded heavily, "Jeffrey, you are very clear about the current situation. We do not have the ability to resist the Germans from Mexico and the Japanese from the east coast. It is possible at any time.

While launching an attack on the United States, we must continue to maintain consumption on the Australian battlefield. I am not talking about weapons and equipment and military supplies, but in terms of military strength!"

"I understand, Mr. President!" General Jefferfield also said with a heavy face: "Currently, our well-trained soldiers and elite troops are deployed on the Australian battlefield, but on the mainland, the troops are very empty.

, indeed unable to cope with possible attacks by the Germans and Japanese!"

"Even if the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Ministry of National Defense urgently recruit reserve soldiers, they will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and the homeland is always in danger of being attacked by the enemy. This is the biggest difficulty and challenge we face currently.

crisis!"

"But, Mr. President, do we have to abandon Australia? On the Australian battlefield, the Allied forces and the Japanese army have reached a stalemate. Once Australia is abandoned, will the more than one million Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield immediately turn around?

Come, target the mainland. Is it possible that the Japanese troops you are most worried about will land on the east coast?"

"Jeffrey, you have to understand that the Australian Allied Forces without follow-up reinforcements will inevitably fail, although we are not willing to admit this fact!" Roosevelt said patiently, "Once the Australian Allied Forces fail, the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield will fail.

Your hands will also be freed up, so you must immediately issue an order to Commander Bahlisman of the Australian Allied Forces, and all Australian Allied Forces troops will immediately withdraw to the West Indies!"
