Chapter 1704: Alone
"Your Excellency, if you think it is necessary, we can immediately send troops to attack Canada. The British Army now has less than one million troops left. And most of them are deployed in Quebec. If we attack from the Great Lakes area, It's easy to beat them and take Toronto!" Admiral Marshall said.
Compared to the United States, Britain's military power is too weak. If the United States wants to defeat the United Kingdom, it is very simple. Even, it is not difficult to destroy Britain. But the only question is do they have to?
President Roosevelt couldn't help frowning tightly. The betrayal of the British made him very angry. But if you think about it carefully, this is not incomprehensible. After all, under the current situation, Britain has no choice but to choose to surrender to the Germans. After the Germans defeated the American and British coalition forces, the British were unable to continue fighting. If the Germans continue westward along the St. Lawrence River, the British cannot resist it at all. At that time, their country will be destroyed. In order to keep their own country, the British had to make a choice of surrender. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
President Roosevelt also believed that if the United States wanted to attack Britain in a fit of anger, it would have no problem defeating Britain. But is it really necessary? Launching an attack on the United Kingdom will only make their military power be diverted again. This is not good for the war with Germany.
"Your Excellency, even if we don't attack Britain, we still have to prevent the British from attacking us!" Major General Eisenhower said.
President Roosevelt nodded: "Indeed, this is a big problem. Once we fight the Germans in full swing. If the British take the opportunity to jump out and attack us, then we will be in big trouble."
"Your Excellency, the Admiralty has reported that the fleet of the British Navy has secretly left the Caribbean Sea." The secretary said suddenly.
"Hmph! The British really planned it long ago! Your Excellency, if possible, we can dispatch shore-based aircraft to sink the four British battlecruisers. Once the four battlecruisers fall to Germany In the hands of human beings, the threat to us will be even greater." Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney suggested.
"The British escaped a day ago. I'm afraid they have escaped the combat radius of our shore-based aircraft. It may not be easy to find them in the vast sea and annihilate them." Admiral Henry Arnold said.
"Let our army deploy defenses in the Great Lakes region and wait for the next order. In addition, question the British and ask why they betrayed us!" President Roosevelt ordered. He must first figure out the true intentions of the British.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." The secretary immediately went to make arrangements. ,
Half an hour later, the secretary got relevant news and came back to report.
"Your Excellency, the British side stated that they had no choice but to surrender to Germany. They did not want their country to be destroyed by the Germans, so they chose to beg for peace from the Germans. The British side assured that they will not participate in the next In the middle of a war," said the secretary.
President Roosevelt nodded. In order to keep their country, the British chose to surrender to the Germans. This did not surprise him. As for the guarantee of the British, President Roosevelt also believed it. Now Britain's military strength has been severely damaged. The war between the two giants, Germany and the United States, is not something that the British can get involved in. If the two countries send a little army to attack at will, they will be able to defeat them, or even destroy them.
"It seems that the British are still very wise. They knew that they could not participate in this war, so they made such a choice." Admiral Marshall said.
"Yes. However, no one can guarantee whether the British are playing tricks. We still have to deploy a little force in the Great Lakes region, just in case." Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney said.
"Yes, how about this? Just deploy two group armies in the Great Lakes area and focus on defending against the British. If the British make any changes, they must resist their attack. Buy enough time for the follow-up troops to arrive." President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." The generals replied one after another.
"Gentlemen, even the British have betrayed us now. It can be seen that they are not optimistic about us in this war. It can be said that we are already in a very serious crisis. However, I hope we can rise up Fight, and strive to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop in the next war." President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." The generals of the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Air Corps also felt the pressure on their shoulders. The United States now has a strong military. But compared with Germany, it is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Even on the North American continent, their advantage will not be very great. However, we have not given up hope. They all hope to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop in the next war.
"The next war is about the fate of the American Republic. I hope that everyone will put all their strength into the next war and try to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop. I believe that even if we are fighting alone now, the final victory will It must belong to us. God will bless us!" President Roosevelt said.
"God bless America!" The generals had firm expressions in their eyes.
Although the current situation is very unfavorable to them, everyone is still willing to fight hard for that slight chance of winning. Of course, they also hope that God can bless them. In this case, maybe a miracle will happen.
After Britain surrendered, the pressure on the United States will be even greater. In other words, they will fight against Germany alone on the North American continent. Although, Germany still has a powerful enemy in the distant Pacific Ocean. The two sides are also engaged in a tragic fight. However, Germany did not invest its main force in the Pacific Ocean, it just took a defensive position. The main power of Germany is concentrated in the Atlantic Ocean, and it is fully committed to deal with the United States. It can be said that Germany does not take the island countries in the Far East seriously. On the contrary, the United States is the target they want to focus on eliminating. After defeating the United States, no one can shake Germany's status as the world's hegemon.
