The Germans won, the British lost, and the First World War has come to an end, and the Americans also have to face the end of one phase and the beginning of another. Compared with the Germans who are about to end their hardships, the Americans have to meet his new challenges. At this time, whether it is Theodore Roosevelt or Taft, they need to handle everything cautiously to prevent a certain negligence from having an extremely profound impact on the future!

　　 At this time, even if you are an extreme person, you must be cautious. A new world hegemon on the opposite side of the Atlantic has risen, and in the direction of the Pacific, a hatred that has lasted for decades will finally give you an understanding! Now is the end of the period of American dominance over Germany, and the US government must handle it carefully!

　　 The Americans have not given a positive answer to the British, and for Germany, they have not taken any other actions except to congratulate Germany on its victory from the perspective of the alliance. Because they knew that when the Norwegian sea battle ended, American assistance was no longer necessary for Germany!

　　 While taking advantage of this time, Theodore Roosevelt needed to assess the future situation as a whole with his colleagues. One of the most important points is how the German Navy performed in the Norwegian Sea Battle this time! Because the combat effectiveness of the German Navy not only determines the direction of the future Pacific War, but also determines the attitude of the United States towards Germany! Yes, you read that right. The Americans also want to know how far the current United States Navy is from the top navy in the world!

Therefore, in order to obtain sufficient intelligence support, Theodore Roosevelt needed to wait for the return of US Secretary of the Navy General Benson and General Sims who personally participated in the naval battle before they could discuss it. After the war, Sims and Independence After returning to the Port of Kiel, I immediately wrote the battle report overnight before celebrating the victory of the naval battle, and directly followed the European railway line to the west coast of France, and then returned to the United States by express cruise. A week later, in the conference room of the White House, the United States President Theodore Roosevelt, Vice President Taft, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Secretary of the Navy Benson and Admiral Sims sat together to discuss the position and role of the United States in the upcoming negotiations.

"General Sims, I spent 3 days studying this report, and even communicated with the personnel of the Navy Department. They agreed that this report is an exaggerated suspicion, based on the information provided by you and your subordinates. , The Germans used only 5 battleships to sink 21 British battleships, and even you are still reporting that at the end of the report, if it were not for the suspected release of the German Navy, the British returned the battleships may even have double digits. Not at all. I really have a hard time understanding that the two sides had a fierce battle with millions of tons of warships, and the Germans only paid such a small loss." Taft put the report aside and said to Sims. . The words are full of doubt and temptation.

"However, this is the case. Even to a certain extent, the Spey Fleet did not play a big role at the end of the battle. The main force of the German High Seas Fleet finally even sent a battleship detachment to pursue it. After returning to port, My colleagues and I made a full circle on almost all capital ships. They are in very good condition and will soon be able to regain combat effectiveness."

"The strength and high quality of the battleships of the German High Seas Fleet is beyond doubt. Their brilliant victories in previous naval battles are enough to explain everything! And Prince Ruprecht's foresight of the development of the navy allowed the German navy to be established as soon as possible. In this naval battle, the concentrated use of a large number of carrier-based aircraft played a very important role in the rapid collapse of the main force of the British fleet. In a very short period of time, the British fleet was sunk 3 A battleship, and several were damaged. This kind of attrition is too fast!"

"Therefore, I think that the strength of the German High Seas Fleet is a system victory. The High Seas Fleet has its own uniqueness in terms of battleships, aircraft carriers, light cruisers and destroyers! While the frontal combat is extremely powerful, the Germans There are also a large number of submarines that can block opponents. The German strangulation operations are also systematic. The use of land command agencies, submarines and supply submarines, and a developed intelligence network make the hunting of submarines very efficient. These things Enough for the U.S. Navy to study for 20 years!"

　　 Sims said excitedly. Only after observing closely and participating in combat can Sims realize the power of the high seas fleet, that kind of system and the tremendous combat power brought by the cooperation of elite warships! This is currently not available in the U.S. fleet, and many of them have to start from scratch!

For example, the American submarine forces now say that it’s okay to go out with a single boat to try their luck, but how to cooperate with the command and how to coordinate the hunt is to wash and sleep, let alone the current German submarine~lightnovelpub.net~ The Enigma machine used by the US Navy is not equipped! This thing is quite bt thing in this era of World War I! With this cipher machine, almost 100% confidentiality of the transmitted information can be achieved!

　　 "General Sims's speech is a bit pessimistic." Taft said with a frown.

　　 "But it is basically in line with reality. Among the current world powers, only the United States Navy has not experienced large-scale actual combat. We really need to learn a lot." General Benson said.

"Haha." Taft suddenly felt speechless. Although the United States is a civil politics, it depends on the generals of the army when it comes to war. Benson and Sims have gone around the European battlefield and confronted Germany. The tendency to worship became stronger, which made Taft feel very speechless.

　　 "The Pacific War against Japan must be won." Roosevelt said slowly: "So, I think we should mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, even if these forces may come from our former enemies."

"The British have already lost. Without us, the Germans' military boots can set foot on the British mainland. Therefore, in this case, the British will give us the last bit of their pockets in exchange for the country. So, we have an idea, if we can use the British base in the Pacific, such as Australia and parts of the island of Guinea. This will give us a great advantage, won’t it? We are at our doorstep Fight with the Japanese." Roosevelt said.
