"Gentlemen, from the attitude of the Germany people, if we continue to support Britain and French, the Germany people will inevitably be dissatisfied with us. This may directly lead to the breakdown of the relationship between our two countries!" Secretary of State Bryan said.
"Do the Germany people still dare to use force against us? Even if their military strength far exceeds ours. However, Atlantic Ocean is our safest barrier. It is impossible for the Germany people to hit our East Coast." Woodrow? President Wilson said.
Indeed, Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, as two natural barriers, greatly guarantee the safety of United States. In addition, there are no big countries around United States, which makes it easy for them to dominate Americas behind closed doors. Even though Germany is very strong, it is absolutely impossible to expedition United States. The thousands of kilometers of ocean transportation lines alone are enough to give Germany people a headache.
The United States Cabinet Ministers present nodded their heads one after another. This is undoubtedly the advantage of United States.
"Your Excellency, the Germany people may not be able to threaten our homeland. But what if they attack our merchant ships? What should we do?" Secretary of the Navy Daniels is a little worried. Although the strength of American Navy is second only to Germany and Britain, it ranks third in the world. However, compared with the previous two naval powers, their gap is still very large. Although, influenced by German Navy, United States also strengthened naval construction. However, the construction of the navy has never been something that can be accomplished in a short time. It requires time to accumulate slowly. If Germany really attacks United States's merchant ship, American Navy will be powerless at all. They don't even have the guts to take on German Navy on Atlantic Ocean. Because that means defeat is inevitable. At least, Daniels and US Secretary of the Navy have no confidence.
"Will the Germany people attack our merchant ships? We are a neutral country. If they do that, they will be condemned by the whole world, and they will force us into the arms of Allied Powers. As long as the Germany people are not fools, they will definitely not do that." Vice President Marshall exclaimed. After all, attacking the merchant ships of a neutral country is something that can only be done by someone who is extremely insane!
"In order to win, Germany people can do anything." Minister Daniels said.
"Germany people are really sure of victory in this war? Britain and France are the world's top powers, so they shouldn't be so inexperienced!" Woodrow? President Wilson seemed a little unwilling to accept this result.
"Your Excellency, the Germany people do have a huge advantage in this war. Especially when Russia has civil strife and withdraws from the war. The Germany people can completely withdraw from the Eastern Front. This allows them to mobilize the main force to attack westward and fight the Anglo-French Allied Forces decisively. As for the battlefield in Southern Europe, it is completely taken over by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The actual performance of Kingdom of Italy The strength is too bad, so even if they join Allied Powers, they will not have much effect at all. This war has almost completely evolved into a contest between Germany and Britain and France. Judging from the current situation, Germany has the absolute upper hand in this contest. The military strength they displayed shocked everyone." Secretary of War Garrison said.
Indeed, the military strength shown by Germany in this war shocked everyone. German Army is number one in the world, this is known to all. However, before the war broke out, no one would think that German Army had the strength to win in a two-front battle. However, the result was an eye-opener for everyone. German Army really gained an advantage on both the Eastern Front and Western Front. Especially on Eastern Front, a legion of less than 200,000 people, with the cooperation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, actually defeated two million Russian troops, which directly led to the collapse of Russia. Such strength cannot be compared with other countries.
As for German Navy, it is even more exciting. Germany is vigorously developing its navy and catching up with British Royal Navy. This is known to all countries. For this reason, the whole world has entered a naval arms race. However, almost all countries believe that German Navy is the party catching up. However, after the war broke out, German Navy completely suppressed British Navy. The performance of British Navy was very poor, as if German Navy was the overlord of the sea.
Whether it is the navy or the army, Germany has the advantage. This undoubtedly makes them very likely to win in future wars. Although, the war continues, unless some miracle happens. Otherwise, it is estimated that no one can stop Germany from winning. Not even United States. Even if United States joins the war now, I'm afraid it won't be able to threaten Germany. At most, it will only contain part of Germany's power. Americans is not a fool, so he will naturally not get involved in the war at this time. Even if they want to join the war, they will choose the winner's camp instead of becoming a loser.
"Everyone, do you mean that we should follow the advice of Germany people and stop supporting Allied Powers?" Woodrow President Wilson asked.
Most of the Cabinet Ministers nodded. After all, it would be very uneconomical to make an enemy of the winner. What's more, if they continue to provide support to Allied Powers now, how will they recover these investments once Allied Powers is defeated?
"Everyone, my idea is different from everyone else's. First of all, regardless of whether we continue to support Allied Powers, Germany poses no threat to our homeland!" Woodrow President Wilson said while looking at everyone.
Cabinet Ministers nodded one after another.
"Secondly, if Germany wins the war, their strength will grow explosively. By then, even if we want to defend Americas, it will be very difficult. Therefore, we must use this war to further weaken the power of the Germany people. Only in this way can we compete with in the future In the competition between the Germany people, we are evenly matched and even have an advantage. We are not directly involved in this war. Therefore, even if the Germany people are dissatisfied with us, they can't do anything to us. I think this is an excellent opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have such an opportunity again." Woodrow Wilson said.
Although other Cabinet Minister think that the president is taking too many risks, they know that President Wilson is indeed for the benefit of United States.
"So, replying to Germany, we have not transported weapons and equipment to Allied Powers. As a neutral country, United States of America has the right to trade with any country!" Woodrow President Wilson said.
