Chapter 853: Militant roosevelt

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded out of the bottom of the ship without warning. When this sound was heard, the entire ship panicked instantly.
"Boom!" It was the second sound.
"Quick, what's going on? How about the damage to the ship?" Pete shouted.
No one answered him. The lads under him were already in shock. They lost their last reason and missed the best rescue opportunity.
If the rescue is effective, they may also protect the ship and close various water gates. The ship may not sink to the bottom. But now, no one is going to take care of the damage below. They are afraid of being blocked inside. No escape.
The sea water poured in from the big hole that had exploded, and the hull began to pour slowly. When all this was clearly felt, Pete also gave up the idea of ​​saving the ship.
"Release the lifeboat and signal for help." Pete shouted.
Although this is the main channel, there is an endless sea all around. In this case, even if you take a lifeboat, you may not be able to get rescue.
Last time, the United States slandered Germany for attacking their civilian targets, but this time, the German attack came so suddenly.
The freighter Fox was slowly sinking, and Pete had already entered the lifeboat. He looked at the ship and felt extremely desolate. At this time, the setting sun shone on the sea and dyed the entire sea red.
When the sun goes down, the temperature will drop, can they persist until dawn?
On the sea, there is nothing to see except the sinking cargo ship. Up to now, they have not been able to confirm whether it was hit by a torpedo and was sunk, or because the cargo inside the ship exploded?
Nobody knows.
United States, White House.
At this time, it was late at night in the White House, and in the oval-table conference room, the senior Americans were still in meetings.
"It's the deadline for the Germans soon. Guys, so far, the Germans still haven't agreed to our request to convert our foreign currency into gold." said Henry Morgenthau, the US Treasury Secretary.
Morgenthau had a deep personal relationship with President Roosevelt and helped Roosevelt run for governor of New York State. After Roosevelt became governor, Morgenthau was a member of the State Nature Conservation Commission and chairman of the Governor’s Agricultural Advisory Committee.
After Roosevelt became president. He soon acted as Secretary of the Treasury, and later officially became the Secretary of the Treasury. Historically, he has been working until the Truman era.
When Roosevelt first came to power, the American economy was a mess. It was Morgenthau's diligent efforts that finally got rid of this mess.
But now, Morgenthau has foreseen a terrible financial turmoil that may sweep the United States. If the government sits and watches its foreign exchange reserves become waste paper, it will cause serious financial turmoil.
In the past, Germany was quite obedient and kept maintaining friendly relations with the United States. A large amount of gold flowed into the United States, but now? Germany is no longer obedient!
"Everyone, if our foreign exchange becomes waste paper, it means that we have lost a huge fortune. We will suffer a lot in foreign trade. Now, in our country, there are already consortia that rely on personal relationships. I went to Germany to exchange it."
The US intelligence system is also very developed, and the matter of Hughes cannot be hidden from the eyes of the United States.
The expression on Roosevelt's face was uncertain.
what should I do now? If you continue to support King George VI, it may cause problems for your own economy. If you accept the other party's proposal and switch to euros, isn't that a help?
"I suggest that we should increase our efforts." Roosevelt said: "We solemnly told the Germans that if they do not follow our requirements, it means war!"
Now Roosevelt was threatening with war! Hearing what he said, everyone was taken aback.
Germany poses a threat to the United States, but right now, this threat has definitely not reached the point of starting a war! Even Congress would not agree to Roosevelt's declaration of war.
"This is our attitude." Roosevelt said: "The domestic capitalists should support us. If we are not tough, we can only watch foreign exchange become waste paper."
When talking about this, the outside door was suddenly pushed open. An anxious voice said as he walked: "Everyone, a big event has just happened. Our Fox freighter, on a normal voyage in the Pacific, suddenly Encountered an explosion, it has sunk."
The freighter on the Pacific Ocean actually sank? Hearing this, everyone's first reaction was that the Germans did it!
"Okay, what is needed." Roosevelt said: "The Germans are getting more and more courageous. They are not only working on our east coast. Now, in the Pacific, the Germans are beginning to intervene. If this continues, we America, what else is safe?"
This is a great opportunity! To exaggerate this matter and tell the people that the real purpose of the Germans ~EbookFREE.me~ is to rule the world! Although the United States is in the New World, it cannot escape the Germans in the end!
There must be a battle between the United States and Germany! Now, if the Germans do not make concessions on the foreign exchange issue, the war will begin!
Up to now, Roosevelt's best thing is still the economic problem. He brought the United States out of the economic crisis. However, in Roosevelt's subconscious, he had an even more open heart.
It can be said that Roosevelt wants to do what the Germans do now.
The total resources on the earth are limited. If a country wants to survive, it must continuously expand abroad, use its own swords to plow the land for the people to survive, and use its own weapons in exchange for tomorrow's bread.
Germany has expanded to a dangerous level, and there must be a war between the United States and Germany!
The Pacific Ocean is the sphere of influence of the United States. The Germans dared to sink their own cargo ships in the Pacific Ocean. Didn't they want to occupy the world or something?
This is an opportunity, we must seize it!
"Mr. President, the cause of the shipwreck has not yet come out. We don't know the cause of the explosion." The person on the side reminded him.
It is also possible that it was the explosion of the weapons transported on the ship!
"Well, the report will be submitted in two hours at the latest." Roosevelt said: "In two hours, I will have a national speech."
It was dark now, for two hours, the location of the shipwreck could not be found, and it would be great to be able to search and rescue the surviving crew! Roosevelt said so, obviously just not giving them time, let them make up their own.
There is not much time left for Roosevelt, he was looking forward to such an opportunity, and finally waited!
The United States has reached a critical juncture for its survival. The United States has no choice! The belligerent Roosevelt was already eager to try.
