Jagged Germany

   Churchill obviously expected that Brian would reject his request, and he was not annoyed. Because he knows that any country will definitely refuse such a request. However, Churchill is confident that he can persuade the United States.

"Your Excellency, I know that such a request is indeed a bit abrupt. But please believe me, this will not cause any loss to the United States. On the contrary, it will bring you a lot of benefits." Churchill looked sincere Said.

   "Minister, if we sell warships to you, will this make us offend the Germans? What if the Germans use this as an excuse to start a war against us?" Minister Daniels said.

Churchill laughed, and then said: "Your Excellency, it is impossible for the Germans to declare war on the United States. Germany now does not have that capability at all. Even if the Germans win the war in the future, they will not declare war on the United States." Yes. On the one hand, the barrier of the Atlantic Ocean makes it difficult for the Germans to project their military power to the United States. On the other hand, the United States is a powerful country. Whether it is population or industrial strength, it is a first-class power. In such a Under the circumstances, if the Germans want to use force against the United States, there will be no chance of winning at all."

  Both Brian and Minister Daniels nodded involuntarily. Indeed, although the military strength of the United States is not as good as that of Germany. However, if Germany dared to attack the United States, they would not lose. If tens of millions of Americans mobilize and arm millions of troops, there will be no problem at all. Coupled with the barrier of the Atlantic Ocean, it is impossible for Germany to project all its military power to North America. Therefore, the odds of the United States are undoubtedly great.

"In this case, why can't the United States sell those warships to us? The United States will obtain a huge amount of funds. If those funds are used for naval construction, the strength of the United States navy will be improved again. Yes. At that time, you will have stronger strength to deal with the threat of the Germans. This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the United States. In addition, the British Empire will have the strength to continue to cooperate with us if those warships are sold to us. The Germans are fighting. If we can defeat the Germans, the United States will no longer be a threat. Even if we fail to succeed in the end and are defeated by the Germans, we will definitely be able to further consume the strength of the Germans. At that time, they will also not have enough strength to attack the United States. For you, this will kill two birds with one stone." Churchill tried his best to persuade.

  Minister Brian and Daniels both had to admit that what Churchill said was very tempting. If the U.S. Navy wants to vigorously develop its military power, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the budget allocated by Congress. Especially when the combat effectiveness of the capital ships of the German Navy is so strong, they need more powerful capital ships. If a sum of funds can be obtained from the British, it will be very helpful for them to build more capital ships.

  In addition, the United States undoubtedly hopes that this war can last as long as possible. In this way, they can wait for Germany to consume more national power in this war. The more power Germany expends, the safer America will be.

  In this way, selling those capital ships to the United Kingdom and letting them fight the Germans will undoubtedly kill two birds with one stone for the United States.

   "Your Excellency, even if we sell all twelve capital ships to you, you are probably not the opponents of the Germans, are you?" Minister Daniels asked. After all, when Britain suffered heavy losses, their strength was already far behind that of Germany. It is almost impossible for the UK to reverse the situation.

"Your Excellency, we still have eight capital ships. If we buy 12 capital ships from your country, then our capital ships will rise to 20. In addition, our French allies also have 10 capital ships The Kingdom of Italy also has six capital ships. If we add them all together, we will not be inferior to the Germans in terms of the number of capital ships!" Churchill said.

  Brian and Minister Daniels suddenly realized that after suffering such a disastrous failure, the British still did not give up! They are ready to gather the strength of the entire Allied Powers to confront the Germans. This made Brian and Minister Daniels couldn't help admiring these British people. Their will to fight was undoubtedly not available in the United States. If the United States also had such a will, maybe the United States would have risen to become a military power long ago.

   "But even if you can assemble 36 battleships, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Germans, right? The German navy is too strong!" Minister Daniels asked.

Churchill nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency. Even if we gather the same number of battleships as the Germans, it will be difficult for us to defeat them. However, we will never give up because the chances of winning are not high. For the British Empire It is said that the greatest threat to us from the Germans is their blockade of us. If their blockade can be lifted, then the British Empire will have enough strength to continue fighting. Our newly built capital ships can also continue to be built , and completed the construction in a very short period of time. At that time, we don’t have to be afraid of them. Therefore, our purpose of reorganizing a powerful fleet is not to really defeat the Germans, even if we can fight with them and lose both. The final victory must also belong to us. Therefore, I implore the United States to help us!"

   In order to achieve his goal, Churchill lowered his noble head. You know, the British have always looked aloof in front of these Americans. Now, they have to lower their stance.

  Of course, this made Churchill very aggrieved, but for the sake of the British Empire and to defeat the Germans, he had to do this. As long as the British Empire can win this war, the core interests of the British Empire can be guaranteed. Then, everything he has done now is undoubtedly worthwhile. Face is such an illusory thing, it can be recovered later.

  Regarding Churchill's performance, Brian and Daniels were shocked, but also secretly pleased.

  In their view, the United States can indeed sell these warships to the United Kingdom. This is very good for the United States.

   "Minister, I need to report to the President before I can reply to you!" Brian said.

   "Okay, sir." Churchill nodded. Brian's attitude made him feel that there was a glimmer of hope.
