Across the ocean, US government is also very concerned about the Berlin conference held by Germany this time. As soon as the meeting ended, United States's spy figured everything out. Although Germany's anti-espionage capabilities are very strong, United States's spies cannot take advantage. However, other countries do not have such strong counter-intelligence capabilities.
When the intelligence department rebuilt Allied Powers from Germany and began to integrate the power of Europe, and at the same time put the information on how many troops each member country needed to mobilize in the war on President Roosevelt's desk, President Roosevelt had a very serious expression on his face after reading the information.
"Europe's foundation is too deep. Even if we have developed for more than a hundred years, we are still far from catching up with them! As long as Germany people integrate more than half of Europe's power, we will not be able to fight against them!" Roosevelt sighed.
"Come here, go find all the Cabinet Ministers! In addition, Army Chief of Staff, Navy Commander Operations Department, and Mr. Hopkins are all here." Roosevelt ordered.
Obviously, this time the matter was too difficult, and he had to consult extensively.
Soon, American government and military officials and President Roosevelt gathered in the office of President Roosevelt.
"This is the information that the intelligence department has just obtained. Let's take a look first!" President Roosevelt said.
Senior officials began to pass through the information, and the office became very quiet, except for the sound of turning papers. However, when US government and the senior military officials read the contents of the intelligence, their expressions changed drastically. Especially the Minister of War, Army Chief of Staff, Secretary of the Navy and Navy Operations Department, looked even more pale.
"Gentlemen, I think we are really in big trouble this time!" President Roosevelt said after everyone had read the information.
"Yes, Mr. President, I completely agree with your point of view. Our troubles this time are not small. No one thought that the Germany people would have such great courage and actually want to integrate the strength of the entire Europe. The most important thing is that now it seems that they are progressing very smoothly. Those countries They have all joined Allied Powers, which is led by Germany people. And they have no objection to the huge number of military mobilization proposed by Germany people. It is obvious that they have agreed with the integration of Germany people." Secretary of State Hull said.
"Perhaps, they were just forced by the pressure from Germany people and did not dare to express anything. In fact, they were not willing." said Minister of War Woodring.
"Maybe, but I have to admit that the Germany people's European Integration Plan has initially succeeded. Once the war breaks out, I think it will be difficult for us to defeat them. After all, with the army alone, they can Mobilize more than 30 million. Moreover, this is far from the limit of Allied Powers. If they are willing, they can further increase the number of troops." Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said.
"Gentlemen, since the Germany people are already preparing for the next war, I think we must also take necessary actions. Otherwise, we will have no chance of winning in future wars." President Roosevelt said.
"Your Excellency, President, we have been preparing for war since a few years ago. In order to expand our armaments, we have already accumulated high debts. I have to kindly remind you that if we don't find a way, our annual fiscal revenue may not even be able to replace the bank interest. By that time, our government may only go bankrupt." Morgenthau said.
At the beginning, in order to get United States out of the economic crisis as soon as possible, President Roosevelt chose to expand armaments to stimulate economic development. To this end, US government borrowed heavily from large consortiums and banks. Although, this certainly enabled United States to get out of the economic crisis. But at the same time, it also caused United States to owe a huge foreign debt to the government.
President Roosevelt nodded, of course he knew this. However, he has put all his hopes on the war that will break out in the future. If United States can win the future war, then everything can be solved. But if United States fails miserably, then United States will be completely doomed.
Originally, President Roosevelt thought that although Germany was powerful, it would still be very difficult to compete with United States, Britain, Buru and Island Nation at the same time. Therefore, their chances of winning are not too small. But now, Germany people have actually integrated most of Europe, which means that Germany's strength will increase dramatically. And their possibility of winning will be greatly reduced as a result.
"Your Excellency, in addition to continuing to develop our own strength, we probably have to think of other ways. Germany is not only our enemy, but also other enemies. Although the United Kingdom has secretly allied with us, and the island countries are also supporting us. However, we do not have a real alliance with the island countries. Now that Germany is powerful, we must truly form an alliance with the island countries. In this way, we can use our power to deal with Germany. In addition, we should also consider a Let's go to BuRu. Although BuRu's ideology is different from ours, they are still very powerful. A war will inevitably break out between BuRu and Germany. Therefore, we can join forces with BuRu. Once BuRu is attacked by the Germans, we must fully support them so that they can survive the German attack for a longer period of time and use this to consume the Germans' strength.
"Yes, Your Excellency President. At this stage, we must unite with other countries. Russia is undoubtedly a very important ally. Now, with the help of the Germans, Russia has developed a strong industry. Although in many cutting-edge fields, it cannot compare with us. But the industrial output is still They are very powerful. They can produce and build aircraft, tanks and cars on their own. More importantly, they have a huge population. If Russia carries out extreme mobilization, they can even mobilize 20 million troops," said War Minister Woodring.
Many senior officials of United States originally had a hostile attitude towards Buru. But now, Buru has become an indispensable and important force for them to defeat Germany. This forced them to give up hostility and instead cooperate with Buru in the hope of uniting all forces opposing Germany and defeating Germany in future wars.
President Roosevelt nodded. "Let our people contact Buru!"
