Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 2830 The American Wartime Act
There is no doubt that Franklin Roosevelt was one of the best presidents in the history of the United States. He single-handedly brought the United States out of the Great Depression and out of the abyss of economic collapse. He was also an outstanding politician.
A politician, or a senior politician, but it is undeniable that he is not an expert on military issues.%
Roosevelt believed that as long as there was an order from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Australian Allied Forces, mainly composed of American young men, could safely escape from Australia and withdraw to the West Indies to rest and recuperate. He over-considered the serious problems faced by Australia on the battlefield.
Simple.
However, General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is an authentic professional soldier. Of course, he cannot think of the problem as simply as Mr. President does. He said in detail: "Mr. President, the Australian Allied Forces are withdrawing.
The problem is probably not that simple. First of all, we need enough transport ships to evacuate hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Australia to the West Indies. This also involves the issue of escort along the East Indian Ocean!"
"Secondly, even if it is decided to abandon Australia, the Australian Allied Forces must be fully prepared. There will inevitably be some troops responsible for the task of blocking the Japanese army. Otherwise, the retreat will be a rout-like disaster. Finally, we must
There are enough combat aircraft to protect several major ports. There is also a question: whether the British administrative agencies, industrial and mining enterprises in Australia will follow the evacuation, otherwise, they will all fall into the hands of the Japanese!"
"Hahaha! I'd like to keep the problem simple!" President Roosevelt smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Jeffrey, I'll leave these matters to you with full authority. I don't have too much energy to be distracted. But.
, the withdrawal to the West Indies is only temporary. Eventually, all Australian Allied soldiers must return to the United States. This is crucial! It is the capital we use to deal with the very likely local war!"
"As for the issues you mentioned, I think we have to plead with the Chinese Tang Qiuli. Only he has the ability and means to allow hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers to safely evacuate to West India and return smoothly.
America, without the Chinese, the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Australian allied soldiers is impossible!"
At this point, President Roosevelt suddenly sighed, his tone a little lonely, "Jeffrey, from the bottom of my heart, I am very unwilling to deal with that cunning and treacherous Chinese. His greed and cunning make me very disgusted.
If there were other ways, I would not deal with him, but as for matters in the Southwest Pacific, it is absolutely impossible to leave this Chinese!"
"At least so far, this Chinese is still our ally. His more than two million elite troops are deployed on the front line of Indochina. They are a great threat to the Japanese. Perhaps the Japanese are afraid of this, and
We dare not land on the east coast. If this is the case, the pressure on our homeland will be greatly reduced, and we can concentrate on dealing with the threat from the Germans!"
"Jeffrey, as my special envoy, you will be responsible for handling the retreat of the Australian Allied Forces and dealing with the Chinese. Put down all face, and agree to all his conditions within our capabilities and tolerance.
MacArthur has made a mess of the relationship between the United States and Tang Qiuli. I don't want you to follow in his footsteps. Remember, the other party made the Japanese dare not follow his lead. The British bled and cut their flesh, and the Soviets ceded territory to pay reparations. We
Tang Qiuli, the Chinese who wants something!"
Admiral Jefferfield, from the president's tone, he heard too much helplessness and loneliness, and it seemed that there was a decline in the sun. Not long ago, the United States was still a country that stood at the end of the Pacific Ocean, looked down upon the American continent, and influenced the European continent.
The hegemon, a man of great skill, has taken advantage of the geographical advantages, but now he is facing the danger of national subjugation. It is the Japanese who have changed everything, and it is the Germans who have intensified all this.
When facing the Chinese, he had to be humble and compromise. A bitter taste surged up in General Jefferfield's heart. He could fully understand the helplessness and loss in Mr. President's heart. He went from strength to strength.
The sadness of decline, "Please rest assured, President, I will do my best to handle this matter!" He said with moist eyes.
Admiral Jefferfield saw that Mr. President's mental state was on the verge of extreme exhaustion, so he stopped disturbing him and left quietly. At dusk and dusk, he quietly climbed up the window of the President's office and climbed into the empty room.
Here, Roosevelt did not turn on the lights and buried himself in the twilight of dusk. His extremely tired body was allowed to rest, but his brain, which was running at high speed, was extremely excited.
For Roosevelt, the threat of the Japanese, the approach of the Germans, Australia, which must be abandoned, and bowing to the Chinese, are all things that can be dealt with. Only the next few bills to be passed in Congress are the biggest.
The problem is that internal fighting is far more difficult than external enemies.
Although I am the president of the United States of America, I live in eight seats, respond to hundreds of calls, and seem to have great power. However, due to the political system of the United States, I, as president, have to be constrained and restrained by many parties. For example, I was at the joint meeting of the military and government this afternoon.
, instructing Secretary of State Eric to sign a military and economic mutual assistance agreement with the Mexican government must be approved by Congress, otherwise, it is nonsense!
However, just two agreements aimed at tying Mexico to the US tank will involve the interests of many interest groups, and the power of these interest groups in Congress is so great that even Roosevelt was intimidated. Those interests hidden behind the scenes
The leaders of the group cannot see the importance of these two agreements to the current United States. They only care about whether their own interests are damaged.
The agents of these leading bosses in Congress also care about the interests of the big bosses behind them. The members of the House and Senate of the United States Congress, to put it nicely, are elected by the American people. In fact, they are not behind them.
The agent promoted by interest groups, Roosevelt, who was well versed in the twists and turns of political struggles, knew this very well. He also knew how deep and muddy the water in American politics was!
Even if he is the president of the United States, the same is true. There is a huge interest group behind him. If he only signs two agreements with the Mexican government, Roosevelt is confident to convince those members of Congress. After all, the interest groups in the United States are
, will benefit from it, especially for arms interest groups, it is a good opportunity to make a fortune!
However, Roosevelt wanted to go further and more thoroughly. He wanted to pass a wartime bill in Congress. The core of this bill was that the entire United States must transition to a wartime system and establish a wartime government with the president as the core.
The military, politics, economy, and culture all revolve around war. We can promulgate temporary laws and regulations without approval from Congress, and make important decisions related to the fate and future of the country.
If the wartime bill is passed, the president's power will reach its unchecked peak. It can be said that the fate of all Americans is in the hands of the president, and the president's power will be unlimited. To be precise, it will be equivalent to dictatorship.
Roosevelt, who was too familiar with American politics, knew that there was almost no chance that this wartime bill would be passed by Congress. The country's wartime system had to be shaken up, but the core interests of interest groups were the big cake, and the core interests of those interest groups were damaged.
It would be strange not to fight against him. He could even imagine what kind of counterattack he would encounter. Even if the president was impeached or even removed from office, it would not be surprising.
But Roosevelt had to overcome the difficulties and transfer the United States to a wartime system, otherwise, there would be the possibility of annihilation of the country. What he was deeply worried about was not the Japanese who had just dropped bombs on the east coast, but the Japanese who were eyeing them on the South American continent.
Looking at the Germans in North America, they are a behemoth whose foundation and national strength exceed those of the United States.
If Americans still don't wake up, within no more than two years, the military boots of German soldiers will set foot on American soil. By then, everything will be too late. Therefore, even if he is shattered to pieces, Roosevelt must go on.
.
"I am now just like Don Quixote!" Roosevelt smiled wryly at himself. He was now envious of the lunatic who made him feel stressed and fearful, the German head of state Hitler. Hitler was the most typical dictator.
However, this dictator drove the German tank without any resistance and with great ferocity, crushing the European continent and the Soviet Union, and now, it has arrived at the doorstep of the United States!
The United States now needs a strong leader, or a dictator. Then, be the dictator yourself. Everything is for the United States. Even if you leave a reputation behind, you will not hesitate. In the darkness, Roosevelt
His eyes were shining brightly, and his sickly body was ignited with boundless fighting spirit!
White House Chief of Staff Joelna came in quietly. Although there were no lights in the president's office, he knew that the president was inside. He turned on the headlights and the bright lights made Roosevelt, who had adapted to the darkness,
I couldn't help but squint my eyes.
Joelna was surprised to find that the current Mr. President exuded a vigorous fighting spirit, especially his eyes, which were flashing with a burning light. He was not a man in a wheelchair with a weak body. "Sir,
It's getting late, it's time for you to have dinner, take medicine and rest!" he reminded softly.
Although he didn't know what made the president so energetic, in Joelna's opinion, it was not a good sign. As the White House manager whom Roosevelt trusted very much, he buried his worries in his heart and waved to him.
A secretary came over, whispered a few instructions, and then pushed Roosevelt's wheelchair toward the restaurant.
Joelna told his secretary to have the White House doctor monitor the president's physical condition 24 hours a day. Before the young secretary could go far, he heard the president's voice coming from the end of the corridor, "Joelna
, I feel that I am heading to the battlefield!"
