Republic of America on the other side of the ocean is struggling with the poor domestic economy. Countless bankrupts and unemployed people are protesting, making US government very busy for this purpose.
On the other hand, the secret cooperation between United States and Britain has begun. A large amount of Britain scientists and technical information were secretly transported to United States. The two countries began to join forces to conduct research on some advanced technologies. In particular, military technology is the focus of their research.
In order to resist the strong pressure from Germany on the other side of the ocean, United States's military strength also began to expand steadily. American Navy's advanced warship design plan was continuously improved with the help of experts from Britain, and then construction began. US Army is also starting to expand. The advanced tank design and tank engine technology from Britain will enable United States to avoid many detours in tanks. At the same time, American Navy and the Army also began to build Air Corps respectively to further enhance their military strength.
US government Another purpose of vigorously developing armaments is to use this method to stimulate the country's economic development and get out of the trough.
While US government was busy developing, it did not neglect the changes in the international situation. Now, there are three main international trends that US government is paying attention to. One is the upcoming war between German military and British mainland. The other one is that the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany is getting worse and worse. The last one is the war between Germany and Island Nation.
German military attacks British mainland, which Americans can do nothing about. Germany's military power already occupies an absolute advantage over Atlantic Ocean. So in this regard, even if Americans has some ideas, he doesn't have the guts to implement them. If they are not careful, they themselves will be compensated.
The relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany is getting worse and worse, which is undoubtedly what United States wants to see. They wish that the alliance between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire would break down. In this case, we can support a strong country by Germany's side. Having Austro-Hungarian Empire to contain Germany will be very beneficial for the future confrontation between United States and Germany. Now US government is almost certain that the breakdown of the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany is inevitable. Franz? Joseph I, who advocates a harmonious relationship with Germany, does not have many days left to live. Once Crown Prince Karl inherits the throne, the alliance between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany will come to an end.
As for the war between Germany and Island Nation, United States originally hoped to use Island Nation to weaken Germany's strength. However, judging from the naval battle between the two countries, the Island Nation people are a bit useless. This makes US government very unfavorable to Island Nation. As for German fleet's attack on Island Nation city, this certainly made them feel very angry, but it was not to the point where they had to stand up and speak for Island Nation. After all, Island Nation and United States are on Pacific Ocean and are also potential competitors. United States is also wary of the development of Island Nation. German Expeditionary Fleet eliminated Island Nation Navy's main force, which actually made US government breathe a sigh of relief. In this case, at least the pressure on them in the direction of Pacific Ocean is relieved, and they can concentrate on dealing with the threat of Germany people.
Island Nation stationed in American Ambassador received the domestic order and immediately rushed to see United States Secretary of State Bryan. The two talked secretly for more than two hours, and then Island Nation stationed American Ambassador and left with a smile on his face.
Subsequently, Secretary of State Bryan rushed to the office and reported to President Woodrow Wilson the results of the meeting with Ambassador Island Nation.
"Your Excellency, the Island Nation people are about to be driven crazy by the Germany people. Their navy has been wiped out by the Germany people. Almost all Capital Ships, Armored Cruiser and Protected Cruiser have been killed. There are not even many destroyers left. It can be said that Island Nation Navy has existed in name only. They no longer pose any threat to United States's interests in Pacific Ocean!" Secretary of State Bryan said.
"This is indeed very good news!" Woodrow President Wilson said.
"However, the Island Nation people hope that we can stand up and accuse the Germany people of harming civilians. At the same time, we hope that we can give them more support and assistance!" Bryan continued.
Woodrow? President Wilson did not answer immediately, but began to think deeply.
After a while, Woodrow President Wilson said, "Sir Secretary of State, do you think Island Nation people are worthy of our support?"
"Your Excellency, to a certain extent, the islanders no longer pose a threat to us. Moreover, we also have a common enemy. Under this premise, it is not impossible for us to unite. Although the navy of the island nation has been eliminated, their heritage is still there. If they can get enough support, their navy can quickly regain its strength. More importantly, the combat effectiveness of the island nation's army is relatively strong. With the five island nations, With a population of more than 10 million, they can easily arm an army of more than two million, and if they are mobilized, they can even arm an army of five million. In addition, the island country is also a huge market. If we can open up the market to the islanders, it will be very beneficial to our poor economy!" Brian said.
"Okay, Mr. Bryan, you have successfully convinced me. Island Nation people are still very valuable. If we can use Island Nation people as a It would be very good to raise dogs. In this case, we can let them bite Germany people, which is very beneficial to us! "Woodrow President Wilson said.
"Yes, Mr. President. Your metaphor is so apt. We want to raise Island Nation people as dogs!" Bryan nodded repeatedly.
"But, there is a question, that is, how can we ensure that Island Nation, the dog raised by us, will obey our orders to bite Germany people instead of coming to bite us?" Woodrow President Wilson asked.
"It's very simple, Your Excellency President. As long as United States of America remains strong forever, then Island Nation can only be regarded as a vicious dog that we raise." Bryan said.
Woodrow President Wilson nodded, he was sure that United States would become even stronger. In that case, as long as Island Nation people are not fools, they will not betray United States.
