Explanation is a cover-up, and no matter how good the reasons are, it cannot cover up the fact that the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military is insufficient. Repeatedly emphasizing the strength of the enemy is nothing more than an excuse for failure.
But if you don't make excuses, you will take the blame. Even if you want to show the side of daring to take responsibility, it is definitely not the time like now.
No one expected the situation to develop to this point. Before launching the attack, Roosevelt could not have dreamed that the Seven Nations of the Ocean Alliance would not be able to take down the enemy's colonies.
Flip through the history books to know that the vast territory of the United States was seized from the colonial empires.
At that time, each of these countries was stronger than the United States, but because of geographical factors, the ultimate winner was the United States.
Now the British are still standing in front, blocking the connection between the enemy and the colonies. It is the best time to start. There is absolutely no reason for many countries to join forces.
However, the foolproof plan ended in failure. Different from previous territorial competitions, this time the enemy was extraordinarily ferocious.
Even if you hit a nail in Cuba, anyway, the enemy's troops are insufficient, and as long as it is consumed, there is hope for victory.
The most important Austrian Central America is troublesome. The local immigrants are all hedgehogs, and they will stab at the touch.
The intention to invade has just been revealed, and the coalition has not yet been assembled, and they will fight first.
The two allies, Mexico and Colombia, have now been pressed by the enemy to the ground for friction. If the United States does not take action, they will surrender.
As for other allies, the top three in South America have some fighting power. It's just that in Roosevelt's view, the "three powers" are too watery to have anything to do with "strong" at all.
Argentina and Chile, the two powerhouses, can't help a country with a population of less than one million. How can it be considered a powerful country
The most important thing is that the two countries will not be able to send troops to reinforce Colombia without pulling out this nail and stabilizing their own rear.
Soy sauce allies ignore it first, just the tens of thousands of reinforcements sent by Brazil cannot keep the Republic of Colombia at all.
In this context, the United States would have to divide its forces in three directions, simultaneously reinforcing Colombia and Mexico, and taking Cuba by the way.
Such a heavy task, the military is obviously overwhelmed. Unless it is a war of attrition, and the advantage of national strength is used to slowly grind the enemy to death, otherwise there is really no chance of victory.
It's just that the reality is cruel. With the passage of the war, the international situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Ocean Alliance.
The country that was originally inclined to Shinra is now ready to move. If Britain loses again, these countries will probably end.
Whether other countries participate in the war, you don't need to care, but the confederate country next door must be considered.
Although the British used economic means to tie up the Confederate countries and keep them neutral, the political thing could be reversed at any time.
Originally, it was difficult to pull the nails. If you add another group of enemies, the next battle will be even more impossible.
It is too late to regret, the political slogans have been shouted out, the ambitions of the United States have been exposed, and the Vienna government is even less likely to let them go.
"American America" can also be understood as "American America". If this goal is achieved, Theodore Roosevelt, like the original time and space, will become one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States.
Unfortunately, the door was not open and suffered a blow in the head. But at this stage, it is only hard to fight.
Even if you can't win, you must prove your strength on the battlefield, so that the enemy will not dare to humiliate.
There is no need to reach the world's top level. As long as the US military shows the combat effectiveness of second- and third-rate countries, the Vienna government must think twice when it comes to reckoning.
…
In the English Channel, with the launch of the "Sea Lion Project", all the main navies of the continental alliance countries gathered here.
There are more than 180 large and small warships, and the scene is huge. In particular, the thirty-six super battleships headed by them are even more magnificent.
If the British can launch a sneak attack and kill the fleet in front of them, the Continental Alliance will not be able to turn over for at least five years.
But looking at the planes hovering in the sky, you can see that it is impossible to launch a sneak attack without first solving the eyes in the sky.
Just think about it, the Air Force is Britain's shortcoming. Whether it is flight altitude, flight speed, or flexibility, British fighter jets are an era behind.
The backwardness of the entire industrial system cannot be caught up in a short period of time. No matter how much you invest, it will take time.
On the unobstructed sea, there is no air dominance, only the chance of being ambushed.
Just look at the Royal Navy. Seeing that the war is about to break out, the Royal Navy has been reluctant to enter.
There is no shortage of good ports in the English Channel, but the problem is that the ports are within the bombardment range of enemy aircraft. When this time passes, the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth.
Originally, after the completion of the navies of the Continental Alliance countries, the Royal Navy would not have the advantage.
The naval battle of Malacca is a typical case. The enemy first used aircraft to damage the warship, and then the navy rushed to make up for it, easily securing the victory.
learn from mistakes. The Royal Navy, which has learned its lessons, decisively chose to stay away from the Shinra Air Force.
You can hide in normal times, but now the enemy wants to land on the British Isles, and they will be gone if they hide at home.
As Lord of the Admiralty, Swindin is now under great pressure, for fear of accidentally ruining the Royal Navy and becoming a sinner in Britain.
Of course, he is not the only one who has felt the pressure. One of the top British government is one of them. Now all of them are under "high pressure".
As before the storm, the air was filled with oppressive atmosphere, suffocating.
…
"Judging from the information collected, the enemy has already assembled and will attack us in the near future.
The time has come to test the British Empire. Although we have lost the previous wars, we will not give in and we will fight to the end.
Unlike any previous campaign, our troops are now more abundant than ever, and 40 million British people are our most solid backing.
The enemy chose to attack the British Isles, the wheelset was a mistake, and here we have…”
- April 27, 1905, Prime Minister Campbell's Declaration on the Defense of England.
To judge whether a country or nation is great or not, you can tell by their performance in times of crisis.
Being able to stand out from many competitors and dominate the world, Britain has its own advantages.
As the situation continued to deteriorate, perhaps everyone realized the danger, and the internal struggle of the British government gradually eased.
Although the opposition parties are still attacking the government, they are only talking about it now. In fact, they have given up dragging their feet in action.
After constant media propaganda, everyone from princes and nobles to ordinary British people know what this war means.
Against the Continental Alliance, the war machine of the British Empire finally started running at full speed.
At last there was unity within, but Prime Minister Campbell was not in the least pleased. If possible, he would rather not have this domestic unity under the threat of the enemy.
"One heart, one heart, one opponent". It's just a political slogan. What really determines the outcome of the war is strength.
For the British Empire, the situation had deteriorated beyond control. Even if they win the British defense, they can only temporarily avoid the danger of subjugation. To win the war is still a long way off.
War Secretary Marcus: "In order to intercept enemy landings, we have deployed a million troops along the English Channel, and there are half a million mobile troops in the rear that are ready to be reinforced.
In addition to this, we organized a million militiamen, which were responsible for logistical transportation. If the situation is urgent, reinforcements can also be provided.
However, this is only the worst-case scenario. If possible, it is best to keep the enemy out of the British Isles.
Once the fire of war reaches the mainland, even if all the enemies are wiped out, we will lose. "
It can be seen that the army is really trying its best. From the outbreak of the war to the present, the Army has successively reinforced 500,000, 150,000, and 50,000 troops to India, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Indo-China Peninsula.
In order to maintain the stability of Ireland and Scotland, a total of 180,000 troops were stationed in the two places.
With a population of 40 million in Britain, mobilizing so many troops is really trying to suck the milk.
Especially among those 40 million people, there are 3.5 million Scots and 4.4 million Irish.
That's all, the Scots, although there are contradictions, still identify with the British in general.
Ireland is different, it has been bullied too badly in the last half century. The local population has dropped from 8.2 million in the mid-19th century to 4.4 million today, full of grievances.
Fortunately, the island of Ireland is located in the back, otherwise the enemy will land from Ireland, and there will be leading parties everywhere.
For security reasons, the Irish soldiers and Scottish soldiers recruited were basically sent to the colonies.
A large number of young adults were taken away, and the place was temporarily stable. But if you want them to contribute to this war, you can't count on them.
Even if he tried his best, Marcus still didn't know what to do. The enemy is the entire European continent, and it is too difficult for the lobster soldiers to single out the pack.
"The navy is also ready and ready to fight for the Empire at any time. We have the confidence to win, and the final victory must belong to Great Britain.
It's just that the enemy's air superiority cannot be underestimated. Before the decisive battle begins, it is best to defeat the enemy's air force first, and then hold them back. "
Shout the loudest slogan and do the most conscientious thing. It's not that Swinding is cowardly, it is really difficult to fight this war.
The navies of the countries of the Continental Alliance together, no matter the number of capital ships or the total tonnage of warships, are not weaker than the Royal Navy.
If it weren't for the multinational coalition on the opposite side, and the command was not consistent, the Royal Navy would not have much chance of winning.
The few chances of winning were also wiped out by the enemy's air superiority. As a result, the Royal Navy did not dare to arrive on the battlefield, and had to wait for the last minute to reduce the risk of being attacked by air.
Both the Army and the Navy have good reasons, but the Air Force is embarrassed and can't get away with it. One of the core factors in the deterioration of the situation to this point is the inability of the Air Force.
Worse than the original time and space, at least the British fighter jets during World War II were no worse than the Germans, and the American wet nurse to replenish blood.
Now limited by industrial strength, the performance of locally produced aircraft is a bit poor, and the fighter aircraft produced by the Americans can only be used for daily training.
The Air Force wants to work hard, but reality does not allow them to explode. It's hard to swallow, and I have accumulated a few months of wealth, and I have to face hard battles just after it has just begun to take shape.
Attilio, the Air Force Minister who was at a loss in his heart, naturally did not dare to make a deal now. After all, the family is accumulating strength, and the enemy is not idle.
Comparing the aviation industry strengths of the two countries, if Britain builds one fighter jet, Shinra will be able to build four or five, and the gap between the Continental Alliance will be even bigger.
As for imitating Japan to recruit pilot death squads, that's a joke. After finally waiting for more than a dozen people to sign up, they retreated one after another before they could play.
There is no way, there is no social atmosphere in Britain, unless it is a moment of fever and calm down, no one will do this kind of lifeless work.
If you really want to implement it, you still have to wait for a moment of crisis to fool the hot-blooded youth. It is best to mobilize and fight immediately.
After hesitating again and again, Attilio said fiercely: "After several months of hard work, the Air Force has accumulated 3,000 fighter jets and 500 bombers...
Once the battle to defend the British Isles begins, we will do our best to entangle the enemy's air force and create opportunities for the navy.
Unless our entire army is annihilated, we will never allow the enemy's air force to interfere in the decisive battle at sea! "
Forced to make this decision, Attilio's heart was bleeding. But now there is no way, the air force will land on the British Isles if it does not stand up to the enemy.
Regardless of how strong the army is now, it seems to be able to defend the British Isles; if there is a fight, it will not matter at all.
Foreign Secretary Adam: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Japanese government have reached an agreement to bring in 200 pilot death squads from Japan, who are expected to arrive in London in 20 days.
At the same time, we also communicated with the revolutionary parties of various countries. They agreed to mobilize a group of hot-blooded young people to join the war, and the Air Force could give priority to selection.
In addition, we have also funded national independence movements in France, Poland, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Finland, etc., and they will launch an uprising in the near future.
Originally, we also found the Hungarian independent organization, but unfortunately they have lost their fighting spirit and dare not return to the country to lead the revolution. "
I have to admit that John Bull's diplomatic method is to slip, even if he is in a passive state, he can toss things out.
Fortunately, all those present had seen strong winds and waves, otherwise they would have to think that this was nonsense. The introduction of everything, the introduction of the death squad is the first time everyone has heard of it, and it is estimated that this is the first time since the beginning of the world.
But it's not surprising when you think about it carefully. Now Japan is eager to express itself and let the Vienna government know that they are not to be messed with, so as to spend the future peacefully and settle accounts.
If the overall national strength is not available, the combat effectiveness of the army is average, and the only thing that can make everyone jealous is "dare to work hard".
Only by letting everyone see that the labor-teacher expedition has to pay a huge price, which is completely disproportionate to the benefits, can we dispel the idea of the Continental Alliance settle accounts after the autumn.
To prove this, it is not enough to just play with the Spaniards in the Far East. It must be shown in front of European countries. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you be deterred.
At this time, the British were willing to pay a lot of money to introduce "talents", and the two sides hit it off.
