Chapter 587 Amendment to the Embargo Act

Feed America!

Although the United States has only played the role of soy sauce until now, and has not shown the ability to lead the world in previous wars, Cyric knew that the United States was the most important factor hindering Germany's hegemony.

The United States has infinite war potential, unique geographical advantages, various resources, a huge population base, and an advanced industrial base. Once the United States joins the war, Germany's chances of winning are very small.

In the real world war, the final comparison is still the overall national strength. In this regard, the United States is a well-deserved power.

When Germany integrates the power of Europe, it will be able to compete with the United States, and now, it must appease the United States!

No one knows why Cyric, who has established his inexorable achievements, is afraid of the United States, but everyone knows that Cyric is the one with the most strategic vision. Now Germany's smooth sailing is from Cyric in ten Several years of layout began.

If we want to appease the United States, we must bring the United States on the same front as our own, and use orders and wealth to feed the American capitalists.

In the United States, holding high the banner of freedom and democracy, the president is elected by one person, one vote. It seems like an incomparable democracy. In fact, the president is not omnipotent. Those who really control the country are those big monopoly capitalists who hide behind their backs. , which influences the political situation of the United States.

Any president is put forward. If the president does not obey the interests of the capitalists, the consequences are obvious. If you can bear it, you will endure it for four years. After four years, you should get out. If you can't bear it , that can kill you at any time!

A considerable part of the wealth that Germany scavenged from the war has flowed to the United States and all walks of life in the United States. Germany has flowed its wealth to the United States by placing orders with the United States. At the same time, the finished products of American industries are sent to the United States. German output.

"Woo, woo!" The whistle sounded, and a German cargo ship set off from the port of Los Angeles and headed for Germany.

The cargo ship, loaded with high-quality steel, was imported from steel companies in the United States.

Although various German enterprises, led by Krupp, have started production day and night, and even began to drive prisoners of war to the production line, but various weapons in Germany still face the problem of insufficient production.

In particular, almost all kinds of industrial products require steel as a raw material. In this case, Germany also began to import direct steel products from the United States.

The steel crocodiles in the United States have also made a lot of money. For them, this war in Europe really came too timely!

Moreover, they are beginning to become satisfied with the performance of the current president.

White House.

These days, Roosevelt's brows have not stretched, and today, just returned from Congress, he is still sad.

"In any case, we finally got off to a good start." Beside him, the aide Hull said to him: "We have already begun to revise the neutrality bill."

"Yes, we have finally taken the first step, but I am worried that our revised bill will be more beneficial to Germany," Roosevelt said.

Seeing that France was about to perish and Britain was at stake, Roosevelt was very anxious at this time. Once Britain and France were destroyed by Germany, there would be nothing on earth that could stop Germany's expansion.

A united Europe under German rule is definitely not what America wants to see, but right now, America has no choice.

In the United States, there are not many visionaries, and those capitalists have all been carried away.

Just a few days ago, when Roosevelt was cutting the ribbon on a bridge, he revealed his thoughts,

"When a certain infectious disease begins to spread, in order to protect the health of the residents and prevent the epidemic from spreading, the society permits and jointly isolates the patients."

Roosevelt could only compare everyday life: "Again, wars spread. Wars can engulf countries and peoples far from the battlefield. We are determined to stay out of war, but we cannot guarantee that we will not be affected by the disasters and disasters of war. Avoid the risk of being drawn into war."

At that time, Roosevelt's speech was immediately slammed. At this time, Roosevelt realized that his own country had been blinded by the wealth exported by Germany, and all the big financial groups were busy doing business with Germany!

Although now faced with the important question of the election, Roosevelt decided to do his part to help Britain, so, after careful consideration, Roosevelt resumed his efforts.

It is now impossible to completely persuade isolationism, so Roosevelt can only make changes briefly, first of all, to modify the embargo clause!

Under the Isolation Act, the United States cannot export weapons and equipment to warring parties.

The Germans are quite shrewd. All the materials they order from the United States are in the name of civilian use. Moreover, the companies in the United States are making money. No one takes the embargo seriously. Anyway, they are exported to the German people. Not combat weapons and equipment, that's all.

Therefore, Roosevelt used the burning of part of the Capitol in 1814 to persuade Congress to abolish the embargo clause. After intense debate inside and outside Congress, Congress passed an amendment to the Neutrality Act to cancel the embargo clause and implement the cash-and-carry principle, that is, cash purchases. Transport yourself.

The Isolation Act, at the impetus of Roosevelt, was finally revised.

"No, after the embargo is lifted, we can eliminate some of the old equipment in our army and let the British buy it." On the side, the newly appointed Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said.

Depending on the situation, France is not good enough. To maintain the situation in Europe, the United States must subsidize the United Kingdom. However, the last time it secretly exported equipment and personnel to the United Kingdom, it was leaked and even caused strong dissatisfaction among the people. And now, finally, it's legally recognized.

Those outdated and obsolete warships in the United States can be sold to the United Kingdom at a low price, which can be regarded as helping the United Kingdom in disguise.

Roosevelt nodded: "Britain cannot fail, no matter who it is, a strong and unified Europe is not in our American interests."

Roosevelt knew that he could not be in a hurry, and he had to wait for an opportunity to let the people know of the threat from Germany. Only then could he fully support Britain.

I hope the UK can hold out until then!

"President, the latest news. The troops besieged by Germany in northern France have surrendered! The 130,000 French troops have surrendered to Germany." told them.
