"Minister, the White House has called to hold a cabinet meeting. Please go to the White House immediately!" The secretary walked up to Minister Charles Edison and said to him.
Minister Charles Edison nodded: "Well, everyone, let's end today's meeting. Through the naval battle between the island country and Germany, we can clearly understand the combat power of the German navy and our own shortcomings. Then, from From now on, let's hurry up and make up for our shortcomings. I hope that when we go to war with the Germans in the future, our navy can avoid repeating the mistakes of the islanders."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister!" A group of admirals replied one after another. They also felt the strength of the German navy from this naval battle, which also made them feel tremendous pressure. After all, the strength shown by the German Navy is really too strong. This makes it undoubtedly very difficult for the U.S. Navy to defeat the German Navy in future naval battles.
"General Stark, you go to the White House with me. I think General Marshall will also attend this meeting." Minister Charles Edison said. He knew that President Roosevelt held a cabinet meeting at this time, it should be because of the loss of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy in this naval battle. The United States has always fully supported the island countries in order to allow the island countries to attack Southeast Asia and Australia and hold back part of Germany's military strength. If the island countries can't do this, wouldn't their investment all the time be in vain?
"Okay, Your Excellency!" Harold Stark nodded.
The two drove to the White House.
When they arrived in the White House conference room, other important cabinet officials had already arrived. Colonel George Marshall, Chief of the Army General Staff, was also present.
"Gentlemen, everyone is here. So, the meeting begins now!" President Roosevelt said.
The current President Roosevelt looks much older than when he first became president. Although no one can challenge his presidency now. But the heavy state affairs, coupled with war preparations, kept him very busy. At the same time, the pressure on him was also very heavy. After all, it naturally accelerated his aging speed a lot.
"Everyone, the navy of the island country just had a naval battle with the German navy. Unfortunately, they were not able to defeat the German navy and gain sea dominance in the Pacific Ocean. This also made it difficult for them to send troops to attack Southeast Asia and Australia. In this case, it is not in line with our previous plan." President Roosevelt said.
Other senior cabinet officials also nodded. They have great expectations for the island country. Otherwise, it would not have been providing support to island countries in the past two decades. It is with the support of the United States that the island nation regained its strong military strength. But unfortunately, the war has just begun, but the island countries have not been able to show satisfactory results for them.
"Your Excellency, the islanders are so useless. Over the years, we have provided them with huge loans. All kinds of aid are countless. Now they have not been able to undertake the task of containing the Germans Our previous investment seems to have failed." Secretary of State Hull said with some frustration.
Like Secretary of State Hull, there are also many senior American officials who are disappointed with the island country. They all believe that the investment is too much, but the return is so little. Therefore, the plan to support the island countries to contain Germany seems to have failed.
"Your Excellency, I propose to stop supporting the island countries from now on. We will soon be involved in the war. The consumption of various materials will continue to rise. Instead of letting the islanders waste those resources, It is better to use it to further increase our strength!" said Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr.
Many senior cabinet officials nodded in agreement.
"Gentlemen, it seems too early to say that this plan has failed. The war, after all, has just begun. Although the navy of the island country failed once, they still have a strong force and can continue to attack. Perhaps, Next time they'll do it," Hopkins said.
The plan to support the island nation started as early as President Wilson. Subsequent U.S. presidents also insisted on this plan. It's just that the strength of support is different. However, after President Roosevelt came to power, support for the island nation was unprecedented. If you deny this plan, wouldn't that be slapping President Roosevelt in the face?
"Indeed, gentlemen. Although the navy of the island country has suffered a lot in this war, overall, their main force is still there. According to the information we have obtained, the navy of the island country still has many new warships under construction. Once If these warships are put into service, the strength of the navy of the island country will be further strengthened. However, the power of the German navy in the Pacific Ocean will not increase for a while. Therefore, the navy of the island country still has the possibility of winning. And this possibility is not would be too small," said Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison.
"Okay, everyone. I know that everyone is very disappointed with the performance of the island nation's navy this time. However, this war has just begun, and we should give the island nation more opportunities. Of course, we must also urge the island nation to let them Continue to attack. In any case, our huge investment in the island country cannot be in vain like this." President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Everyone replied.
As President Roosevelt said, they give great support to the island nation. And those supports have already been given to the island countries, so they can't get them back, right? Besides, I won't come back. Therefore, the only thing they can do is to let the island countries continue to launch attacks so that their huge investment will not be in vain.
"Your Excellency, the government of the island country has just requested us, hoping that we can urgently provide them with a batch of naval steel so that they can speed up the construction of some capital ships and aircraft carriers. Should we agree to them?" Secretary of State Hull asked road.
After thinking for a while, President Roosevelt said: "Promise them! The combined naval fleet of the island nation has suffered a lot of losses this time, and they urgently need to replenish their strength. After their strength recovers, they can continue to attack Germany. What we have to do is, It is to continue to support them and let them continue to fight the Germans. I believe that the islanders will not lose again and again!"
