"Boom!" A violent explosion appeared at the bottom of the ship without warning. When you heard the sound, the whole ship panicked.

"Boom!" There was a second sound.

"Come on, what's going on? What about the damage to the ship? " Cried Peter loudly.

No one answered him. The boys under him were frightened, lost their last reason and missed the best rescue opportunity.

If the rescue is effective, they may also protect the ship and close all kinds of water gates. The ship may not sink yet, but now, no one cares about the damage below. They are afraid of being blocked inside and unable to escape.

The sea water poured in from the big hole, and the hull began to pour slowly. When he clearly felt all this, Peter also gave up the idea of saving the ship.

"Launch the lifeboat and send out a distress signal." Cried Peter.

Although this is the main channel, it is surrounded by an endless sea. In this case, even if you take a lifeboat, you may not be able to get rescue.

Last time, the United States slandered Germany and attacked their civilian targets, but this time, the German attack came suddenly.

The freighter fox was slowly sinking underground. Peter had entered the lifeboat. He looked at the ship and felt extremely desolate. At this time, the sunset shone on the sea and dyed the whole sea red.

When the sun goes down, the temperature will drop. Can they hold on until dawn?

On the sea, nothing could be seen except the sinking cargo ship. Up to now, they could not confirm whether they were sunk by a torpedo or because the cargo in the ship exploded?

No one knows.

United States, white house.

At this time, it was late at night in the White House. In the oval table conference room, senior American leaders were still meeting.

"It's almost the deadline for the Germans. Everyone, so far, the Germans still haven't agreed to our request to convert our foreign exchange into gold." Said Henry Morgenthau, Jr., the US Treasury secretary.

Morgenthau had a deep personal relationship with President Roosevelt and helped Roosevelt run for governor of New York. After Roosevelt became governor, Morgenthau was a member of the State Nature Conservation Commission and chairman of the governor's Agricultural Advisory Committee.

And after Roosevelt became president. He soon acted as Treasury Secretary, and then officially became Treasury secretary. In history, he worked until the Truman Era.

When Roosevelt first came to power, the American economy was a mess. It was Morgan's hard work that finally got rid of this mess.

Now, Morgenthau has a premonition that a terrible financial storm may sweep the United States. If the government sits idly by and turns its foreign exchange reserves into waste paper, it will cause serious financial turmoil.

In the past, Germany was quite obedient, constantly maintained friendly relations with the United States, and a large amount of gold flowed into the United States, but now? Germany, no longer obedient!

"Ladies and gentlemen, if our foreign exchange on hand becomes waste paper, it means that we have lost a huge wealth. We will suffer a lot in foreign trade. Now, in our country, consortia have begun to go to Germany for exchange by relying on personal relations."

The intelligence system of the United States is also very developed. Hughes can't hide it from the eyes of the United States.

Roosevelt's face was uncertain.

Now, what should I do? If we continue to support George VI, it may bring problems to our own economy. If we accept the other party's proposal and replace it with euro, isn't it helping the tyranny?

"I suggest that we should strengthen our efforts." Roosevelt said, "we solemnly tell the German side that if they don't do it according to our requirements, it means war!"

Now, Roosevelt is going to threaten with war! Hearing what he said, everyone was stunned.

Germany is a threat to the United States, but now, this threat is definitely not to the point of launching a war! Even Congress would not agree to Roosevelt's declaration of war.

"This is our attitude." Roosevelt said, "those capitalists at home should support us. If we are not tough, we can only watch foreign exchange become waste paper."

Speaking of this, the outside door was suddenly pushed open. An anxious voice said as he walked: "everyone, a major event has just happened. Our freighter fox suddenly encountered an explosion and sank during its normal voyage in the Pacific Ocean."

The cargo ship in the Pacific sank? Hearing this, everyone's first reaction was that the Germans did it!

"OK, what you need." Roosevelt said, "the Germans are getting bolder and bolder. They are not only fighting on our east coast, but now, in the Pacific, the Germans are beginning to intervene. If this goes on, what security can we have in the United States?"

This is a good opportunity! Play up this matter and tell the people that the real purpose of the Germans is to rule the world! Although the United States is in the new world, it can not escape the clutches of the Germans in the end!

There must be a war between the United States and Germany! Now, if the Germans do not make concessions on the foreign exchange issue, the war will begin!

So far, Roosevelt's best is still the economic problem. He brought the United States out of the economic crisis. However, Roosevelt's subconscious mind has a publicity heart.

It can be said that Roosevelt wanted to do what the Germans did now.

The total resources on the earth are limited. If a country wants to survive, it must constantly expand to the outside world, plough the land for the people with its own sword, and exchange its own weapons for tomorrow's bread.

Germany has expanded to a dangerous extent, and there must be a war between the United States and Germany!

The Pacific is the sphere of influence of the United States. The Germans dare to sink their own cargo ships in the Pacific. Do they want to occupy the world or something?

This is an opportunity. We must seize it!

"Mr. President, the cause of the shipwreck hasn't come out yet. We don't know the cause of the explosion." Someone on the side reminded him.

It's also possible that the weapons transported on board exploded!

"Well, the report should be submitted in two hours at the latest." Roosevelt said, "in two hours, I will give a national speech."

It's dark now. For two hours, we can't even find the location of the sunken ship. It's good to be able to search and rescue the surviving crew! When Roosevelt said this, he obviously didn't give them time. Let them make it up.

Roosevelt didn't have much time left. He was looking forward to such an opportunity and finally waited!

The United States has reached a critical juncture of crisis and death. The United States has no choice! The belligerent Roosevelt was already eager to try.
