"Your Excellency, this is the plan that General Eisenhower thought of. If this plan can be implented, the island army may be able to launch an attack on Southeast Asia without relying on their navy!" Admiral George Marshall sent Brigadier General Eisenhower's plan to in front of President Roosevelt. Because it is related to the Philippine colony, it is even related to whether to declare war on Germany in advance. Therefore, it must be left to President Roosevelt to decide. No one else is qualified to make such a decision.
President Roosevelt quickly read the plan and had to admit that he was also shocked by this bold plan.
"Eisenhower will, I have to admit, your idea is very bold!" President Roosevelt said.
"Your Excellency, I just want to solve the current predicant. After all, we have invested too much in the island country. If the army of the island country cannot launch an attack, then our huge investnt will be in vain." Brigadier General Eisenhower said.
President Roosevelt nodded: "It is true. We have invested a lot of resources in the island countries. If they cannot pose a threat to the Germans as we expected, then our huge investnt will be in vain."
"Your Excellency, when the island nation's navy has no way to gain sea dominance, it is undoubtedly the best choice to use the Philippine Islands as a springboard to launch an attack on the South China Sea." Admiral George Marshall said.
"But the crux of the problem is how do we allow the islanders to use the Philippine Islands as a springboard? It is obviously unrealistic to start a war with Germany now. We still need ti. Judging from the current situation, we need at least half a year. But if the islanders do nothing within the six months, it will obviously not work. The Germans have already begun preparations on the Russian battlefield. It is foreseeable that after the arrival of spring, they will launch a large-scale It is undoubtedly very difficult to say whether Bu Russia can resist the German attack. Once Bu Russia can't hold on, the Germans will be able to wipe out all threats in Europe. It is very unfavorable. Therefore, we must make trouble for the Germans!" President Roosevelt said.
"Your Excellency, in this case, we can only let the islanders rely on the Philippine Islands. Otherwise, there is no other way. It will take ti for the island navy to defeat the German navy and seize command of the sea. What we lack most now is , undoubtedly ti." Admiral George Marshall said.
"Yes, since there is no other way, let's implent it according to this plan! Let the islanders seize this opportunity. This is the greatest support we can provide them. If under such circumstances, they all If there is no way to defeat the troops deployed by the Germans in Southeast Asia and Australia, then they are too incompetent. At that ti, the United States will definitely cut off their support." President Roosevelt said. In order to break the deadlock, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind to carry out this risky plan.
"Your Excellency, how do we prevent the islanders from using the Philippine Islands, and the Germans will not use this as an excuse to declare war on us?" Admiral George Marshall asked. Undoubtedly, this is the question that has been bothering them.
"Let the islanders declare war on us! They attack the Philippine Islands, and we are powerless to resist their attack. In this case, the Germans have nothing to say!" President Roosevelt said with a smile.
Admiral George Marshall and Brigadier General Eisenhower couldn't help being dumbfounded. They didn't expect President Roosevelt to co up with such a way. However, if the island country launches an attack on the Philippine Islands, then Germany really has no excuse to bla the United States. After all, the United States is also a victim! Of course, you don't need to think about it to know that once the army of the island country lands on the Philippine Islands, the hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines will put down their weapons and surrender to the army of the island country. And the army of the island country will occupy the Philippine Islands with little effort. What will happen next is naturally conceivable. Islanders who take a chance. Definitely won't miss this great opportunity. The army of millions of island countries will use the Philippine Islands as a springboard to attack Dutch Indonesia, and then attack Indochina and Australia to defeat the 800,000 German troops deployed here.
And all of this is exactly what the United States hopes to see. They hope to use the strength of the islanders to weaken Germany's strength, so that Germany has to deploy troops from other places to reinforce Southeast Asia and Australia. In that case, the purpose of the United States will be achieved.
"But, Your Excellency, how do we explain to the people?" Admiral George Marshall thought of a question.
The United States has always supported the island nation, which also makes Aricans have a great impression of the island nation. But once the Philippine Islands are attacked by the islanders, this will inevitably make the Arican people very angry. Maybe even the governnt will be criticized and protested by the Arican people. At that ti, this may cause a lot of trouble.
"Island countries adopt the thod of undeclared war. At the sa ti, we can block the news. After we declare war on Germany, the island countries will beco our allies. There will be no need to hide everything. I believe that the people will understand by then Yes," said President Roosevelt.
Although, the United States has always advertised itself as a country of free speech. But in fact, there is no so-called freedom and democracy at all, and the power of the governnt is still above all freedom. Those newspapers and other dia, as long as the governnt issues an order, they don't have the guts to confront the governnt. Therefore, if the U.S. governnt wants to block the news, there is no way for those Arican people to be fooled.
"Your Excellency, we must ask the islanders to sign a secret agreent with us, making it clear that the Philippine Islands are only temporarily lent to them. After the war is over, the Philippine Islands must be returned to us. In addition, our troops stationed in the Philippines It must be properly resettled, or withdraw to the mainland." Admiral George Marshall said.
President Roosevelt nodded.
Subsequently, President Roosevelt summoned senior cabinet officials and told them the plan. Although many senior officials had doubts about this, the plan was passed under the strong request of President Roosevelt. The senior officials of the US governnt cabinet also hope that the army of the island country can launch an attack on Nanyang and Australia as soon as possible.
