In this time and space, Germany and the island countries did not form an alliance. Up to now, the axis powers, that is, all countries in the German occupied area, together with Italy, belong to the European battlefield.

From this point of view, it is not a world war, but a European war.

However, there are also deep contacts between the island countries and Germany. For example, in the Far East, there is a tank in the equipment of the island country's army. From the appearance, it is very similar to the Panther 2 tank of Germany. If there is nothing fishy in the middle, I'm afraid no one believes it. The amphibious tanks of Germany are also very similar to the internal fire boats of the island countries.

Now, the US Navy is besieging a submarine at sea, and the island country jumped out in a hurry and said that the submarine belongs to the island country. Should the United States believe it?

Roosevelt was skeptical and faced his old friends. However, he was the president of the United States. No matter what he did, he had to consider the interests of the United States!

After all, in addition to the uncontrollable battlefield in Europe, the war of the island countries in the Far East has seriously affected the interests of the United States. In particular, the island countries must not be satisfied with the status quo. If the island countries expand southward to the Philippines and other places, it will seriously threaten the rubber producing areas of the United States, various sources of strategic raw materials and Australia.

So, not only in Europe, but also in Asia, the United States is at risk.

The United States must be prepared for the possibility of a world war. In this case, will it be beneficial to the United States if there is friction between the United States and island countries?

As the shrewdest politician, Roosevelt felt more clearly that this would be a good opportunity.

After all, if the United States needs to prepare for war, it needs sufficient reasons. If there is no reason from the Germans, wouldn't it be better to find it from the islanders?

In particular, as a small island country, it will never have an advantage in the struggle with the United States.

Roosevelt had made up his mind.

"What? We besieged your submarine? How is this possible? " Roosevelt said, "sorry, it's time for work. I haven't received any news yet. Why don't we go for a drink? While waiting for the information to come back? "

At this time, where is the mood to drink! Yoshiro Nomura said, "Mr. President, I solemnly tell you that if our submarine is sunk by your navy, it is the result that all of us do not want to see. In our island country, there are moderates, such as me, and a group of arrogant war factions. If this incident breaks out, they will have more excuses, I'm afraid his majesty will also agree to some of their requirements because of this incident. "

Roosevelt's face suddenly cooled down: "Saburo, are you threatening me?"

"No, no, of course not!" Yoshiro Nomura found himself in a hurry and made a big mistake: "as a diplomat who has lived in the United States for several years, I know that we can't compare the industrial heritage of the United States. I'm just trying to avoid the worst. My old friend, you should know me. I don't want to see the worst."

"You must be thinking too much. Let's go and have a drink." Roosevelt, with a cigar in his mouth and pushing his wheelchair, had gone out first.

As a result, Yoshiro Nomura could only follow. It was no use for him to worry.

"I've ordered people to go to the Admiralty to check the information. If there is such an action, they will stop immediately." As Roosevelt went out, he said, "also, please inform your submarine. If this happens, your submarine can float up and show its identity. Then we know it is a misunderstanding. We are indeed looking for German submarines, but it has nothing to do with the island country."

Yoshiro Nomura was depressed for a while. He didn't know the beginning. After all, the telegram sent back by yi-74 was only a few words. If he knew that his submarine had been attacked in the process of floating, and then hurried into the water, he would be even more depressed.

However, of course, he knew that the submarine had gone into the water, and it was very difficult to contact the submarine.

The connection of this era mainly depends on radio, and it is very difficult for radio to spread in the water. At most, it is more than ten meters underwater.

The connection between the submarine and the base mainly depends on floating regularly every day, then sending a telegram and signing a report every day. Once the time passes and there is no contact, you can guess that there is a problem.

If the submarine suddenly takes the initiative to contact, it is definitely an accident. For example, now, when the submarine drills underwater, it is impossible to receive information.

This is why submarine soldiers, especially the captain, need more self-active judgment.

Yoshiro Nomura, who was born in the Navy, is quite clear that Roosevelt is actually giving him a careless eye!

"Mr. President, for whatever reason and purpose, please immediately order the navy to stop military operations at sea. Now, in my capacity as the ambassador of the island country to the United States, I officially inform you that our island government expresses serious protest against your actions at sea! If our submarine is sunk by you, it means war! "

Yoshiro Nomura had no choice. He had to let Roosevelt know the seriousness of the matter. Roosevelt made it clear that he wanted to delay time and played Yoshiro Nomura as a monkey. Yoshiro Nomura would not be fooled by Roosevelt.

Now, he is no longer a friend of Roosevelt, but a diplomat of the island country. He wants Roosevelt to know how serious this matter is and how terrible consequences it will bring!

If the United States really sank the island's submarines, for the island countries, those crazy people eager for war will definitely find the most reasonable excuse to convince the emperor!

Roosevelt's wheelchair stopped. He turned his wheelchair around and looked at Yoshiro Nomura: "OK, I immediately order that if our navy really sieges your submarine at sea, let them stop action immediately."

Yoshiro Nomura is very happy. This is his first hard work. It seems that the effect is good. The United States is worried about European affairs. How can it provoke another strong opponent in Asia?

However, he didn't notice that Roosevelt's words were very clear, if, really.

If the Navy had confirmed that the siege was an island country's submarine, it would have given up. Now that it has begun, can it stop?

"Now, can I have a drink?" Roosevelt said.

"OK, thank you very much." Yoshiro Nomura said politely and followed Roosevelt to the back of the White House, where there was a small bar.
