If the Germans did not bomb the survivor to deter the United States, why did they bomb the statue of liberty?
Ten years ago, Germany was still very weak, so small that not only Britain and France could be trampled, but even countries such as Poland could come and kick at any time.
But now, Germany has become strong, strong enough to make people tremble. The whole Europe is trembling at the feet of Germany!
Germany destroyed a city in half an hour, showing Germany's strong combat capability. At this time, of course, Germany's vanity will expand rapidly!
Like now.
German submarines are sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, haunting and hunting British cargo ships. Now, even American cargo ships dare to fight!
German planes dare to fly to the near coast of the United States to observe. If they are unhappy, they will throw bombs!
The appetite of the Germans is getting bigger and bigger. How can they be satisfied and only occupy Europe! The Germans will certainly not let the United States go!
Something is really in front of us, no doubt!
Although the members present have more or less benefited from Germany, they are Americans after all. They stick to their position on this issue of right and wrong!
"Now, the Germans are occupying Britain. Once Britain is defeated, the Germans will have no rivals." Roosevelt continued: "the emergence of a unified and powerful country on the European continent is the greatest danger in the world. If we can't help Britain through this crisis, we, the United States, will also be implicated."
Roosevelt's statement was powerful. In the past, when he said so, he would only be ridiculed, but now everyone is silent. They absolutely don't want to see this scene!
"Are we going to declare war on Germany? We, the United States, should not enter a state of war, which is not in our interests. " Congressman dren said.
No matter what Roosevelt said, in short, the United States will not get on the chariot. What good will it do to the United States? What Roosevelt said has not been confirmed. It is certainly inappropriate to drag the United States into the quagmire of war just because of one thing.
"Of course not. Now, after all, we have not been really threatened by Germany. We can not declare war. However, we can support Britain and let Britain defeat Germany. This is what we must do." Roosevelt looked at the crowd and said, "I propose that we rent weapons and resources from Britain to help Britain fight!"
In the past, Roosevelt supported Britain only in secret, and the amount would not be too large. Now Roosevelt is going to do it openly.
"If the neighbor is on fire, I can only lend him the hose for watering the garden to put out the fire, instead of asking him to pay for this hose in advance and return the neighbor's original things after the fire is out." Roosevelt made an analogy.
Of course, it is impossible to bring the United States into the war. Roosevelt did not intend to do so. When he came to Congress this time, the first thing is to explain it and point the spearhead at Germany. Now it's almost the same, and the second thing is to pass the lease bill!
Without a large number of materials, Britain cannot win the war. Britain lacks everything. In terms of the Navy, Britain needs at least hundreds of warships, and the tanks needed by ground forces are astronomical. They are always mobilized behind the scenes. It is certainly not enough. This bill must be passed!
He just wanted to borrow something, not directly participate in the war. Old Deron was relieved to hear Roosevelt's idea. In this way, he didn't seem to have much loss to his own side.
"But what does the British use to pay the rent?" A congressman suddenly thought of this serious problem.
It's about leasing. It sounds good. What if the rented warship is sunk? The rented tank was destroyed? And those bullets and food are almost not rented, but consumables.
Therefore, this problem is also very important. Don't lose everything and money in the end!
Britain, an old capitalist country, has a deep foundation. Although the economic crisis broke out in the 1920s, Britain was also an industrial country that got out of recession earlier.
By 1938, Britain had up to $4 billion in gold and dollar reserves, four times higher than in the early 1930s（ Normally, it should be in pound sterling, but if Britain wants to reserve, it must not be its own currency)
However, war is definitely a gold sucking beast. In just a few months, Britain's gold and foreign exchange reserves fell sharply to $1 billion. This is a dangerous figure, indicating that the time for the break in UK cash flow is not far away.
Britain has no money. What does Britain take for rent?
In the secret agreement, Britain exchanges Canada, but this agreement can not be fulfilled until Germany wins. Then, if it fails to win, it may fail.
Moreover, not everyone is interested in expansion. Therefore, if Roosevelt throws out these, it may not be able to impress the congressmen present, but it is enough to change it!
"Therefore, I have a proposal here. If Churchill wants us to reach out for help, there is a fairly quick plan now, that is, to sell the shares of major American industrial companies held by the British."
When Roosevelt said this plan, the whole hall of the conference room immediately calmed down. As congressmen, they all represented major families and forces. Roosevelt's words made them smell business opportunities!
You know, Britain still has tens of billions of dollars of "idle assets" overseas. If the British want the United States to agree to support, Britain must jump off a building and sell it. At the same time, American capitalists will make a lot of money.
Why does the US Congress not agree to go to war with Germany? Is it not because German capital has fed American capitalists? Now, there are new interests! So many British assets are now American fish!
Many people's eyes are shining. When today's meeting is over, they will inform the forces behind them at the first time!
"The drafting of the specific lease bill will take time. I hope Congress can grant me the power to give Britain some support first so that Britain can resist the German attack." Roosevelt said, "at the same time, we can also ask the British to sell some companies to us immediately, such as American man-made fiber company. Now, please support my plan."
Roosevelt looked at the congressmen present. His words had conquered the support of most of them!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
