The explanation is to cover up, no matter how strong the reason is, it cannot cover up the fact that the US military is inadequate. Repeated emphasis on the strength of the enemy is nothing more than making excuses for failure.
But don't make excuses, you have to be in the wrong. Even if you want to show the courage to take on the side, it is definitely not this time.
No one expected the situation to reach this point. Before launching the offensive, Roosevelt could not have imagined that the seven countries of the Ocean Alliance could not even take down their enemy colonies.
Looking through the history books, you will know that the vast territory of the United States was captured from the colonial empire.
At that time, each of these countries was stronger than the United States, but because of geographical factors, the ultimate winner was the United States.
There are still British people holding on to the front, blocking the connection between the enemy and the colony. It is the best time to start. There is no reason for multi-nation cooperation to fail.
The foolproof plan ended in failure. Unlike previous territorial struggles, this time the enemy behaved exceptionally brutal.
Just hit a nail in Cuba, anyway, the enemy’s strength is insufficient, as long as it consumes it, there is hope of victory.
Central America, the most important Austrian species, is in trouble. The local immigrants are all hedgehogs, so they them when they touch them.
The intent to invade was just revealed, and the coalition forces had not yet been assembled, so they had to fight out first.
The two allies of Mexico and Colombia have now been held in the ground by the enemy. If the United States does not take action, they will surrender.
As for other allies, the top three in South America have a bit of fighting power. However, in Roosevelt's view, the "three strong" had too much water and had nothing to do with the "strong".
The two powers of Argentina and Chile can't help but how can a country with a population of less than one million be considered a powerful country.
The most important thing is that the two countries will not be able to send troops to reinforce Colombia without pulling out this nail and stabilizing their rear.
Allies who fight with soy sauce ignore it first, just because Brazil has sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, it cannot protect the Republic of Colombia.
In this context, the United States will divide its forces, and at the same time, it will reinforce Colombia and Mexico, and by the way, it will take Cuba.
The military is obviously overwhelmed with such a heavy task. Unless you are fighting a war of attrition and using your national strength to slowly grind the enemy to death, you really won't see a chance of winning.
It's just that the reality is cruel. As the war progresses, the international situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Ocean Alliance.
The country that was originally inclined to Shinra is now ready to move. If Britain loses again, these countries will probably end.
Everyone does not care whether other countries participate in the war, but the confederate countries next door must consider it.
Although the British used economic means to tie up the confederate states and keep them neutral, the political thing may be repeated at any time.
It was difficult to pull the nails, but if another group of enemies were added, the subsequent battles would be even more impossible.
It is too late to regret, political slogans have been shouted out, the ambition of the United States has been exposed, and the Vienna government is now even more unlikely to let them go.
"The America of the Americans" can also be understood as the "America of the Americans." If this goal is achieved, Theodore Roosevelt will become one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States, just like the original time and space.
Unfortunately, the door opened badly, and suffered a blow. But at this point, only bite the bullet and fight.
Even if you can't win, you must prove your strength on the battlefield so that the enemy will not dare to insult.
There is no need to reach the top level in the world. As long as the US military demonstrates the combat effectiveness of a second- and third-rate country, the Vienna government must think twice when settling accounts after the fall.
...
In the English Channel, with the launch of the "Sea Lion Project", all the main navies of the Continental Alliance countries gathered here.
There are more than 180 warships, large and small, and the scene is huge. Especially the 36 super battleships headed by them are even more magnificent.
If the British can launch a sneak attack and kill the fleet in front of them, the Continental Alliance will not be able to turn over for at least five years.
But looking at the planes hovering in the sky, you know that it is impossible to launch a sneak attack without first solving the eyes of the sky.
Just think about it. The Air Force is Britain's shortcoming. Whether it is flight altitude, flight speed, or flexibility, British fighter jets are one era behind.
The backwardness of the entire industrial system cannot be caught up in a short while. No matter how much you invest, it will take time.
On the unobstructed sea, there is no dominance in the air, only to be ambushed.
Just look at the Royal Navy. Seeing that the war is about to start, the Royal Navy has been slow to enter.
There is no shortage of good ports in the English Channel, but the problem is that the ports are within the bombing range of enemy aircraft. When this time passes, the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth.
Originally, after the completion of the navies of the Continental Alliance countries, the Royal Navy would not have the advantage. If it were bombed by the enemy air force, it would be even more difficult to fight.
The Malacca naval battle is a typical case. The enemy first wounded a warship with an airplane, and then the navy rushed to make up for it, easily securing the victory.
learn from mistakes. The Royal Navy, which has learned its lessons, decided to stay away from the Shinra Air Force.
In normal times, you can hide. Now the enemy is going to land on the British Isles, and you will be gone for hiding.
As Secretary of the Navy, Swinding is now under great pressure, for fear that he would accidentally ruin the Royal Navy and become a sinner in Britain.
Of course, he is not the only one who feels the pressure. There is one high-level British government, and all of them are now under "high pressure."
Just like before the storm, the air was filled with a depressive atmosphere, suffocating.
...
"From the information collected, the enemy has completed the assembly and will launch an attack on us in the near future.
The time has come to test the British Empire. Although we have lost in previous wars, we will never give in. We will fight to the end.
Unlike any previous battles, our military strength is now unprecedentedly abundant, and 40 million British people are our strongest backing.
The enemy chose to attack the British Isles. The turn is a mistake. Here we have..."
On April 27, 1905, Prime Minister Campbell's "Declaration on the Defence of Britain".
To judge whether a country or a nation is great or not, you will know by its performance in times of crisis.
Being able to stand out from many competitors and dominate the world, Britain naturally has its advantages.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, perhaps everyone has realized the danger, and the internal struggle of the British government has gradually eased.
Although the opposition parties are still attacking the government, they are only talking about it now. In fact, they have given up on holding back.
After continuous media propaganda, everyone from the princes and nobles to ordinary British people knows what this war means.
Under the control of the Continental Alliance, the war machine of the British Empire was finally operating at full speed.
Finally, the internal unity was formed, but Prime Minister Campbell was not at all happy. If possible, he would rather not have this domestic unity achieved under the threat of the enemy.
"Everyone is one mind, and everything is equal." It's just a political slogan. What really determines the outcome of a war is strength.
For the British Empire, the situation has deteriorated to the point of being out of control. Even if he wins the British Defense War, he can only temporarily avoid the danger of subjugation. Wanting to win the war is still far away.
Secretary of the Army Marcus: "In order to intercept the enemy's landing, we have deployed one million troops along the English Channel, and there are 500,000 mobile units in the rear that can be reinforced at any time.
In addition, we organized one million militiamen to be responsible for logistics and transportation. If the battle is urgent, reinforcements can also be made.
However, this is only the worst plan. If possible, it is better to keep the enemy out of the British Isles.
Once the flames of war burned to the mainland, we would lose even if we wiped out all the enemies. "
It can be seen that the Army really did its best. From the outbreak of the war to the present, the army has successively reinforced 500,000, 150,000, and 50,000 troops to India, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Indochina Peninsula.
In order to maintain the stability of Ireland and Scotland, a total of 180,000 troops were stationed in the two places.
With a population of 40 million in Britain, so many troops have been mobilized, and it's really an effort to eat milk.
Especially among these 40 million people, there are 3.5 million Scots and 4.4 million Irish.
The Scots are no more. Although there are contradictions, they still agree with Britain on the whole.
Ireland is different. In the past half-century, people have been bullied too badly. The local population has dropped from 8.2 million in the mid-nineteenth century to 4.4 million now, full of grievances.
Fortunately, the island of Ireland is located at the back, otherwise the enemy will land from Ireland and there will be lead parties everywhere.
For safety reasons, the conscripted Irish and Scottish soldiers were basically sent to the colonies.
A large number of young men were taken away, and the place was temporarily stable. But if you want them to contribute to this war, you can't count on it.
Even though he tried his best, Marcus still had no idea. The enemy is the entire European continent, and it is too difficult for the lobster soldiers to single out the group.
"The navy is also ready to fight for the empire at any time. We are confident that we will win, and the ultimate victory must belong to the great Britain.
It’s just that the enemy’s air superiority should not be underestimated. Before the decisive battle begins, it is best to defeat the enemy’s air force first, and then hold them back. "
Shouting the loudest slogan, doing the most sincere thing. It's not Swinding's counseling, but it's really hard to fight this war.
Together, the navies of the Continental Alliance countries are not weaker than the Royal Navy in terms of the number of capital ships and the total tonnage of warships.
If it were not for the multinational coalition forces on the opposite side, and the command could not be consistent, the Royal Navy would not have much to win.
One of the few wins was erased by the enemy's air superiority. As a result, the Royal Navy dared not arrive at the battlefield, and had to wait for the last minute to reduce the risk of air strikes.
Both the army and the navy have good reasons, and the air force is embarrassed and cannot shirk it. One of the most central factors in the deterioration of the situation to the present level is the inability of the Air Force.
It's worse than the original time and space. At least during World War II, the British fighters were no worse than the Germans, and the American nurses also made blood.
Now limited by industrial strength, the performance of locally-produced aircraft is quite poor. The fighter aircraft produced by the Americans can only be used for daily training, and if they are used for decisive battles, they will be rewarded.
The Air Force wants to work hard, but reality does not allow them to break out. Finally swallowed his anger, and accumulated a wealth of money for several months, but it has just begun to take shape and will face bitter battles.
Attilio, the Minister of the Air Force, who had no idea, naturally did not dare to pack his votes now. After all, his family is accumulating strength, and the enemy is not idle.
Comparing the strength of the aviation industry of the two countries, if Britain builds one fighter jet, Shenluo will be able to build four or five planes. In addition, the gap will be even greater with the Continental Alliance.
As for emulating Japan's recruitment of pilot death squads, that is a joke. After finally waiting for more than a dozen people to sign up, it turned out that they hadn't waited for the battle and then flinched.
There is no way, there is no social atmosphere in Britain, unless it is a hot-headed, calm down, no one can do such a deadly job.
If you really want to implement it, you still have to wait for the moment of crisis, and then go to fool the hot-blooded youth. It is best to mobilize and fight immediately.
After hesitating again and again, Attilio said fiercely: "After several months of hard work, the Air Force has accumulated 3,000 fighters and 500 bombers...
Once the defense of the British Isles starts, we will do our best to entangle the enemy's air force and create opportunities for the navy.
Unless our entire army is annihilated, we will never allow the enemy's air force to intervene in the decisive battle at sea! "
Forced to make this decision, Attilio's heart was bleeding. But now there is no way. The air force will land on the British Isles if the air force does not rise to the top.
Regardless of the fact that the army is now strong and strong, it seems to be able to defend the British Isles; if it really fought, it wouldn't be worth it.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Adam: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Japanese government have reached an agreement to introduce 200 pilots from Japan to the death squad, which is expected to arrive in London in 20 days.
At the same time, we also communicated with the revolutionary parties of various countries. They agreed to mobilize a group of enthusiastic young people to join the war, and the Air Force can give priority to selection.
In addition, we have also funded national independence movements in France, Poland, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, and Finland. They will launch an uprising in the near future.
Originally, we also found the Hungarian Independent Organization, but unfortunately they have lost their fighting spirit and dare not return to lead the revolution. "
I have to admit that John Bull's diplomatic method is to slip, even in a passive state, he can toss things out.
Fortunately, all those present have seen strong winds and waves, or else they would be talking nonsense for this. It is the first time everyone has heard of the introduction of the death squad. It is estimated that this is the first time since the beginning of the world.
However, it is not surprising to think about it. Japan is now anxious to show itself and let the Vienna government know that they are not easy to provoke, so that they can settle their accounts safely through the future autumn.
If the overall national strength is not available, the military's combat effectiveness will be mediocre. The only thing that can make everyone afraid is "dare to fight hard."
Only by letting everyone see that the cost of the labor force expedition is too large, and it is not directly proportional to the benefits, can they dispel the idea of the Continental Alliance after the fall.
To prove this, it is not enough to play with the Spaniards in the Far East. It must be shown in front of European countries. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you have a deterrent effect.
At exactly this time, the British were willing to pay a big price to introduce "talents", and the two sides hit it off.
