Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

As early as the end of the 19th century, the total industrial output value of the United States jumped to the top of all major countries and became the world's largest economic power. In the subsequent World War I, the huge demand for arms on the European battlefield led to the rapid development of American industry and agriculture. In 1914, the total industrial output value of the United States was US$24.9 billion, which increased to US$63.9 billion in 1919, an increase of 156% in just five years.

Due to the huge consumption of the war, countries such as Britain and France had huge trade deficits, so they had to use gold as a means of payment. By 1919, 40% of the world's gold reserves were in the hands of the United States, and the Allies still owed the United States more than $10 billion in war debt.

By the time World War II broke out, the United States' national power had become so powerful that it was beyond the reach of Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the Soviet Union, and China. The United States' steel production reached 80 million tons, which was more than the five countries of Germany, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, Japan, and Italy combined. In 1945, the United States' steel production accounted for 92% of the world's total production. The United States also accounts for more than half of the world's oil production. At its peak, it once accounted for more than 70% of the world's total production. There is simply no shortage of oil and petroleum products.

The United States is also the world's largest food producer and exporter. The United States has a flat terrain, vast plains, and the largest cultivated land area in the world. It has developed agriculture and a high level of mechanization. The grain and meat produced in the United States are not only processed into various foods, but also continuously produced. Continuously shipped to major allies, American food not only supplies the allies, but the excess is also used to produce alcohol and other materials to reduce stocks and food surpluses. American canned beef makes American soldiers want to vomit, and bread and cheese are also available. Only the United States dares to be so willful.

Now, the European Union, headed by Germany (Germany was Europe's largest industrial power and economy before World War II), completely surpasses the United States in terms of economic strength, science and technology, and industrial manufacturing levels. Coupled with the thousands of tons of gold stolen by Germany and the industrial areas that were bombed again and again, the industrial strength of the United States was greatly destroyed.

In this situation of ebb and flow, the United States is not having an easy time.

In addition to these four South Dakota-class battleships, there are four more Iowa-class battleships that are about to enter service according to the plan. However, due to the attack on the industrial zone, their progress is far behind, and they will not be until the middle of next year at the earliest. Only then can they continue to serve. But even if the warship is in service and does not have a matching fire control radar, it will still be a target for the German warship.

If it weren't for the lack of knowledge in this area, the Vice President would have wanted to go and do the research himself. I don't know if these scientific researchers have real materials. After so long, they still haven't come up with a fire weapon that can be used in actual combat. control radar.

He can only urge the research progress to be accelerated, and then continue to worry about Canada's problems.

Let’s not talk about whether Canada will suddenly turn to Germany and declare war on the United States one day in the future; even if Canada really adheres to neutrality, it will be quite detrimental to the United States.

Neutral countries have three obligations to abide by: First, neutral countries must not provide direct or indirect assistance to belligerent countries related to the conduct of war. The various obligations paid for this purpose are called avoidance obligations; secondly, neutral countries must prevent belligerents from using their territory for the purpose of war, and this type of obligation is called prevention obligations (there are also cases where avoidance obligations and prevention obligations are collectively called equitable obligations); third Third, a neutral country must acquiesce within a certain range when its nationals perform acts beneficial to a belligerent country and suffer damage. (Although the content of the damage is varied, neutral countries cannot exercise any kind of damage. Diplomatic protection), such obligations are called acquiescence obligations.

Although many countries adopted neutrality policies during World War II in the original time and space, most countries actually favored one of the two parties participating in the war for their own different purposes, and few were truly neutral.

If Canada wants to abide by its neutrality policy, then according to the second obligation treaty, it will be impossible for the United States to transport supplies to Alaska through Canada from now on. The sea transportation routes have also been cut off by the German fleet. As a result, Alaska is in an isolated and helpless situation, and it is unknown how long it can last.

"These damn bastards!" the vice president cursed again. They had just sent additional troops to Alaska not long ago, and the number of troops there has reached more than 200,000. But before food and other supplies could be shipped, these Canadians acted neutrally.

I'm afraid that if the Alaska garrison wants to withdraw, the Canadians won't agree, right? !

How long can the garrison in Alaska hold on without food and other supplies? Whether we can survive this winter is a big question.

"What benefits did Canada give Germany?" The two countries also declared war on Europe. How could Canada withdraw from the war "safe and sound" and declare neutrality, while the Germans wanted to fight to the end with the United States and the Soviet Union? !

As for why, it is because the Canadian military power in later generations is too average. Although Canada is a developed country with the second largest territory in the world, it is not very good at military affairs. The country's military does not even number 100,000.

Therefore, Yannick naturally did not regard Canada as a threat. After receiving a high sum of war compensation, he agreed to let them withdraw from the war and remain neutral.

The Soviet Union and the United States were different. They were one of the top superpowers in the original time and space.

How strong is it?

The period when the Soviet Union's military strength was strongest in later generations was the period of Brezhnev's rule, that is, from the 1970s to the late 1980s.

At this time, the total strength of the Soviet Union reached 5 million, with more than 10 million reserves, more than 60,000 tanks, 20,000 combat aircraft, 100,000 artillery pieces, thousands of various warships, and more than 40,000 nuclear weapons. Its industrial production capacity can produce 3,000 tanks, 5,000 armored vehicles, 2,000 combat aircraft, and more than 100 ships annually. The weapons it produces in one year can arm the entire European Union. According to the military strength of the former Soviet Union at its peak, the Soviet Union only needed one week. Time can flatten the entire Europe, and its possession of nuclear weapons can destroy the earth several times. The "West-81 Military Exercise" held by the former Soviet Union in 1981 was regarded as the largest military exercise in human history.

At that time, the military power of the United States was comparable to it.

Yannick naturally wanted to nip such a threat in the bud, and the two countries had to be torn into pieces.

Now that the Soviet Union has gradually achieved this goal, only the United States remains.

As mentioned earlier, when the United States' comprehensive strength, economy, military, technology and other advantages no longer exist, splitting may occur.

That's why he ignored the United States' request for peace. The only way to end the war is to surrender and pay huge compensation, which would be enough to bankrupt the United States.
