: 0.031s Scan: 0.041sEisenhower also felt the hostility that Marshall had recently developed towards him. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he absolutely couldn’t back down at this time. If he backed down now, the U.S. military would lose an excellent opportunity to catch up with the world’s powerful army!

Therefore, even though Marshall’s attitude was unfriendly, Eisenhower still said it with a stiff upper lip.

At this moment, he could only believe that the president sitting in front of him could take the overall situation into consideration!

President Roosevelt didn’t say anything about the mutual hostility between the two subordinates. For any person in power, being good at dividing his subordinates, letting them check and balance each other, and asking for help from himself, is the art of controlling people.

If a subordinate is too strong, once the balance is broken, this subordinate will pose a direct threat to himself, and that will be difficult to deal with. He will have to go down in person!

Therefore, he is happy to see the two quarrel!

The power of these two people comes from themselves. If they have disagreements, they will inevitably rely on their own support to fight against each other. In this way, Roosevelt’s power will be more stable and no one can threaten his position!

“”Ahem, General Eisenhower’s words make sense. This batch of arms is extremely important to us!”

However, although he did not intend to take sides, Roosevelt could not indulge his subordinates to ruin his good deeds.

He insisted on purchasing this batch of arms, and the purpose was to make up for the gap in weapons and equipment between the US and German armies as soon as possible. In this case, if these two people were to argue with each other and cause this matter to fail, it would go against Roosevelt’s original intention.

Although Marshall was very dissatisfied with Hans’s delaying method, he saw President Roosevelt’s mind and knew that the other party attached great importance to this batch of arms, so he did not continue to complain, and instead began to think about how to get this batch of arms back as soon as possible and stop Hans from delaying!

“The reason why the Hans are delaying is probably because they heard something, right?”

Guo Wuqing, who was standing by, saw the two people arguing, so he stepped out to change the subject.

“Well, most likely they heard about our private contact with the British Empire. With Mainz’s cleverness, he must have figured out the content of our contact immediately!”

Roosevelt didn’t hide anything. The people present were all his confidants, and he didn’t need to hide it from them. So after meeting with Chukir, he revealed the content of their secret talks to these confidants, so the people present knew that the Eagle Sauce wanted to help the British Empire!

However, because of the leak of the news, the domestic situation in the Eagle Sauce began to become turbulent. Under this circumstance, the Eagle Sauce could not get too close to the British Empire in a short period of time, and could only suppress the matter temporarily!

At this time, the situation in Europe was already very serious. Hans was preparing to attack Japan. The British Empire has no choice but to ask for help.

In this situation, the last thing they want to see is the Eagle Sauce helping the British Empire. So as long as they get the news, they will definitely do everything they can to destroy the Eagle Sauce and the British Empire.

And Roosevelt suspected that Hans, in addition to delaying the British Empire with this $4 billion in arms and keeping the British Empire from acting rashly, was also suspected to be behind the unrest in the British Empire.

The former has already made Roosevelt very unhappy. If the latter is verified to be true, then Roosevelt will not tolerate it!

“Mr. President, Hans’ attack on the British Empire is a foregone conclusion. Unless we send troops to help the British Empire defend their homeland immediately, we will not be able to stop Hans’ actions. So,……”

Marshall meant to give up the British Empire. Once Hans defeated the British Empire, Hans would certainly gain great benefits, but the Eagle Sauce would also be able to take advantage of Hans. Once the British Empire’s homeland fell, most of their overseas colonies would fall into the hands of the Eagle Sauce.

Without sending too many troops, they could harvest so many colonies and gain such great benefits. This deal seemed quite cost-effective, so Marshall had to be tempted by it!

Roosevelt was actually somewhat tempted. The British Empire itself was not strong. Their strength was completely maintained by sucking blood from the colonies. Once the British Empire was defeated, they would definitely not be able to maintain the interests of their overseas colonies. At that time, the Eagle Sauce would have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits!

“We can make preparations in this regard, but we cannot let the British Empire perish so quickly. This will also be disadvantageous to us!”

Roosevelt is not a good man, he certainly will not give up such a good opportunity to expand his territory!

The Eagle Sauce is similar to Hans, both began to rise after the 1860s and 1870s.

Hans officially rose through the Franco-Prussian War, and the Eagle Sauce officially rose through the Civil War. The rise of the two countries was hundreds of years later than that of traditional powers, which resulted in them not being able to obtain too many overseas colonies.

Although the Eagle Sauce obtained some colonies from the hands of the Banya through the Spanish-American War and gained a foothold in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, these places are small in area, barren in land, and small in population, and cannot be compared with the colonies of the British Empire and Gaul.

At this time, Gaul had been defeated, and their colonies in the Far East fell into chaos. If they had not been concerned about the impact, the Eagle Sauce would have sent troops to control this place long ago. After all, this place is opposite their Philippine Island colony and the distance is very close.

Once they control the Indochina Peninsula, they will be able to control the South China Sea in their own hands. The location of this place is very critical. Controlling this place is equivalent to blocking the passage of the British Empire into the Far East!

And if the British Empire is defeated this time, then the Eagle Sauce will have the opportunity to go south to occupy Lijiapo and control the Strait of Malacca!

At that time, not only will the Eagle Sauce have an even greater advantage in the Far East!

The thought of being able to control a series of islands in Southeast Asia, and even taking the opportunity to control Malacca and Australia, and going north to take the Maple Leaf Country into his own pocket, made Roosevelt’s heart tempted.

So even though he had promised Chukir that he could help the British Empire, the Eagle Sauce still did not give up the idea of taking advantage of the fire!

However, the Eagle Sauce’s mentality is very contradictory. Their geographical location makes them isolated overseas, so they are afraid that Hans will defeat the British Empire and integrate Europe and even the entire World Island! The emergence of a unified and powerful regime on the World Island is not good for their national interests.

But they hope that Hans can defeat the British Empire and give themselves a chance to pick up leaks.
