Chapter 823: Confidant

The United States has reached many agreements with Britain.
For example, British companies in the United States have been sold to the United States at low prices. This has made American capitalists a fortune. As long as there is interest, plus the Germans dared to bomb the coast of the United States. Let the United States no longer object to it.
Moreover, Hammer, an excellent Erdao trafficker, successfully allowed the British to mortgage some overseas military bases to the United States and became the bridgehead of the United States. All these have enabled the United States to obtain huge benefits.
But now, the British government has changed hands.
King George VI has been convicted by London, and Churchill has become a criminal. In this case, the package agreement reached between the United Kingdom and the United States is almost at risk of being abandoned.
For the United States, this is of course inappropriate, but what is even more unacceptable is the euro.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Germany occupied the whole of Europe, it has begun to plan to integrate Europe together. The current euro is the first step!
Britain, France and Germany, when they unite, can become a big worry for the United States!
"The Germans want to turn our foreign exchange reserves into waste paper, which is threatening us." Roosevelt continued to take a cigar, and then said: "We should warn the Germans that if they really dare to do that, they are We America declare war!"
In this era, the United States is not as powerful as later generations, and the US dollar has not become the world currency. Under the influence of the empire, the universal currency in this world is still the pound.
If the United States wants to do business with Europe and the British pound zone, it naturally needs to have a reserve of pound sterling. There are also a lot of the same franc. It is only because the German economy only improved in the 1930s, so their mark reserve not many.
If all these foreign exchange reserves become waste paper, the loss of the United States is absolutely unbearable! At the same time, this will become a fuse even more.
If these foreign exchange reserves in the United States become waste paper, it means war for the United States!
For the United States, a big battle is already at hand, and it is the question of whether to fight early or late. It seems that fighting late will be even more troublesome.
The current Germany is still not as strong as the United States. However, once Germany has completed the integration of the entire Europe, it will be quite difficult for the United States to confront Germany again. A unified Europe will be so powerful that it feels terrifying!
Since we have to fight, it is better to fight now, first enter the Middle East, support the United Kingdom, and then continue to regain territory, until the recovery of the entire Europe!
Roosevelt’s eyes were already bloodshot. As the helm of the United States, he had to take a big risk to make this decision. If he failed, he would be dead.
"No, we have not yet reached the time." Army Chief of Staff Marshall said: "Now, the German army is almost victorious in all battles. Even if our army goes up, I am afraid it will end in the same way. Without being prepared, we are on land, not a German opponent."
The United States has not prepared for war on a large scale, has not recruited reserves, has not mobilized for war, even if all this is done, can the United States win against Germany?
Really not necessarily! The Germans have never failed. The Germans' equipment is almost five years ahead of their own!
"Germany has completed its expansion to the west. Next, the Germans should expand to the east." Secretary of State Hull said: "If the Germans invade the Soviet Union, it will definitely pay a heavy price. At that time, it is our time. "
It's not suitable for war now. When the Germans are at their peak, it is easy to get bleeding!
Roosevelt nodded: "Yes, we are not ready for war yet, but what about the Germans? If they really decide to do something against the Soviet Union, they will certainly not annoy us at this time. Therefore, this posture, we It must be done."
That's what Roosevelt meant.
The Germans want to use the euro to make the United States surrender, stop supporting George VI and instead support Berlin. How is this possible?
Now, the United States is going to put on a serious posture. If you dare to turn the foreign exchange in my hand into waste paper, then I will declare war on you. I have long seen you not pleasing to your eyes and want to beat you!
Yes, that's you, look at what you look at, then look at you!
The United States will continue to support George VI, but the foreign exchange of the United States must also be valuable. Whenever you want to exchange it with Germany, you have to exchange it for me!
By the way, just replace it with gold! After all, gold is hard currency! There is no need to change the euro, which is just in the middle of the bill!
"We are also slowly transitioning to the war system. After the Germans conquer Europe, it will definitely become the biggest threat to us." Roosevelt continued: "Especially now, if the Germans do not intend to make concessions, they will come to us. Say, that means the beginning of war! I propose that Congress pass a bill to increase the defense budget by another 20%."
During the war, Roosevelt had mentioned this term more than once! From the time Germany began to expand in Europe, Roosevelt repeatedly urged Parliament to increase defense spending, and now, the increase of 20% again shows the seriousness of the incident.
The United States must be ready to fight at any time!
"Mr. President, Prime Minister Churchill sent a telegram from Cairo. He stated that the British government will firmly defend the position of the pound in the world currency and resolutely resist the German attempts to destroy the British economy."
The White House Chief of Staff came in ~EbookFREE.me~ and reported Churchill's telegram to Roosevelt.
Resolutely defend? What does Churchill defend? Roosevelt shook his head. The Germans had unified Europe. It was too easy to play the British army in the Middle East.
"Tell Prime Minister Churchill that we, the United States, will do our best to support the British government until we finally counterattack and regain lost ground." Roosevelt said.
The foreign policy of the United States cannot be changed. If it turns to support Edward VIII, the United States will not get any benefits. On the contrary, it will only encourage Germany's arrogance.
Now, the United States must spare no effort to support Churchill. If Europe is truly unified, the United States will never have peace in the future.
Roosevelt’s attitude was very firm. At the same time, after the oval table meeting, Secretary of State Hull summoned the German ambassador to the United States and presented him with the decision of the United States.
Germany must unconditionally exchange the foreign exchange reserves of the United States, and instead of converting into euros, it uses gold for exchange! I hope Germany will take it seriously and not try to interfere in the foreign policy of the United States!
