"I received a seal of electricity." On the bridge of the Unicorn, Cunningham called Spruins into his cabin and looked at him blankly, "It is closely related to your and my future, and to the future of the two great powers. Do you want to hear it?"

After hearing the other party's tone so serious, Spruins's face became solemn: "Sir, what major changes have happened."

"The news came from Washington that President Roosevelt was seriously ill and could not be a director. Vice President Wallace is currently acting in power. The newly-employed vice president is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the war, the sacrifice and efforts of the United States. He first looked for an excuse to stop aid to the Soviet Union, and was said to be preparing to stop aid to Great Britain, and even seeking peace with Germany at the cost of abandoning Great Britain."

This unexpected spoiled spoil made Sprounz fool: "Is this true? Not the Germans spread rumors? After you were invaded by Germany, President Roosevelt advocated aid and passed the Lease Act. Now the two countries are deeply harmed by the Nazis and Japanese militarism together. How could they stop at it? Didn't so many people die in vain?"

"You can never consider the tricks of politicians! They only have their own interests, only more shameless, and not the most shameless." Cunningham pondered, "I called you over because I hope we can communicate well and not turn against each other."

Spruins was also shocked when he heard the words "rebel against one another". After half a day, he squeezed out half a sentence from his teeth: "You mean, a crossbow?"

Cunningham nodded: "Churchill had used the crossbows to the French, so he was afraid that others would give him a crossbow..."

The plan for the crossbow was that after France surrendered, in order to avoid the use of the French fleet by the German army, the Royal Navy not only seized and removed all warships within its control, but also dispatched fleets to attack the remaining French warships that were all ally ships a few days ago, which eventually led to Britain and France turning against each other.

"What do you mean?"

"Although London has not given me clear instructions, I believe that if the news is true, no matter whether the fleet is loyal to the current king and Churchill regime, the necessary preparations must be done. I think the best way is to break up peacefully without hurting each other." Cunningham said calmly, "It is like a couple facing a divorce moment. Despite all kinds of unpleasantness, please see the sweetness they have had in the past. Don't scratch the other party until blood is dripping at the end. It is best to separate gracefully and leave each other with a memory."

Spruins was stunned and said a long time later, "You said..."

"I don't know how the top leaders of the two countries' armies finally arranged the fleet, but I think that if you are determined to abandon Great Britain, the Atlantic Combined Fleet will definitely not be able to continue to maintain it." Cunningham pondered, "Although some warships were given to us by your side, considering the sacrifice and contribution of the British Empire, I think these are the undefeated royal naval property. I hope your country will not make any decisions. The United States is rich, has a strong national strength, and the level of warship construction is the world's first. Don't rob these things. I want to make some adjustments in advance and temporarily change the situation where both sides have officers and soldiers on the other side's warships. All the Royal Navy officers and soldiers are concentrated on our warships, and your country's officers and soldiers are vice versa..."

“You received other instructions?”

"No." Cunningham shook his head, "Although I have a bad relationship with Churchill and don't like his character very much, as long as he is still the leader of the country determined by the democratic regime of the British Empire, I will obey his orders, but if this situation changes, I may not obey. In my mind, the foundation of Britain is always on those small islands, whether rich, poor, strong, or weak, I will not leave her."

Spruins remembered the rumors that Edward VIII was restored and George VI came to Canada to form a situation on one side of Great Britain, and his heart moved: "Will you be loyal to Edward VIII in the future?"

"No, to be precise, I will not cooperate with the Germans." He patted the empty trouser leg. "My leg was thrown in Africa because of the Germans, so I will never forgive the Germans. But this does not mean that I am willing to fight a civil war. Think about it, a government in Canada and a government in London, how many British people will die in the fight? I cannot give up this army that is in line with the expectations of the British in order to strengthen the strength of Canada. What's more, you don't want to fight with the Germans. What's the point of hiding in Canada with my troops? The exile fleet? I look down on him like Charles de Gaulle for the rest of my life, and he is not as good as Beta."

"But even according to that rumor, those who are willing to support Churchill's authorities can still come to Canada."

"Of course, but how many people can Canada accommodate? 100,000? 1 million? There are more than 40 million on the British Islands! Can they take them all over? Can they abandon their home country with thousands of years of cultural and historical traditions? No matter how good Canada is, it is not Great Britain!"

Speaking of this, Spruins can really see a ghost if he doesn't understand what Cunningham means. Cunningham's attitude is clear: if the United States no longer supports Great Britain, no matter how Churchill struggles, Britain will no longer need to participate in the war. In order to reduce Churchill's possible struggle, he is also unwilling to hand over the fleet to Canada or the United States.

"Can you wait a little more carefully?" Spruins finally advised, "I understand and respect your decision, but please don't be excited. Everything is not yet determined. Some behaviors will cause more serious trouble when it comes to the eyes of those who are interested. President Roosevelt said it well. The only thing that makes us feel scared is fear itself."

"I also hope that this is just a clumsy, short-lived rumor." Cunningham sighed and stopped talking.

Compared with the undercurrents of the navy up and down, a violent torrent has formed at the Washington Congress inquiry site.

"Dear sirs, President Roosevelt is unable to be a director due to illness. According to our constitution and tradition, I exercise the powers of the president on behalf of the president. At present, in various internal and foreign decisions, I have not broken through the relevant directions determined by the President and Congress, but this does not mean that I agree and appreciate that every decision is correct. Before the inquiry meeting, I want to first report some content. You all know most of these contents, but after they gather together, not all members of parliament will be in control. Before the notice, I would like to ask you to pay attention to keeping it highly confidential..." Henry Wallace took the lead in turning against the enemy before the inquiry, and came a long paragraph:

"Since the outbreak of the European war in 1939, especially after the passage of the Lease Act, in order to deal with wars with the Axis countries, our country has strengthened various national defense causes and provided support to allied countries. By the end of 1943, the military expenditure of the United States had reached more than 300 billion US dollars, which was averaged to the Americans, which means that the government can buy a very good car for each citizen or provide all tuition fees from elementary school to high school... The military expenditure budget for the fiscal year 1944 was originally scheduled to be around 130 billion, but it may actually exceed 150 billion."

Everyone whispered to each other, and everyone was shocked by the number.

"In addition to the United States' own arms construction, these military expenditures are mainly used to fund allies, including Great Britain and its dominance, the Soviet Union, China, other European countries and resistance forces, with a total of nearly $100 billion. Although the principle was stipulated by Congress when it passed the bill, all members of Congress knew that this was almost no difference from free gifts. Of the nearly $100 billion, Great Britain and its dominance, the colonies received nearly 90 billion, the Soviet Union and more than 8 billion, China was less than 1 billion, and France was about 700 million, and all other countries and places combined were less than 500 million. What did these high costs eventually become?

At its peak, we lost 1.2-1.4 million tons of materials and corresponding ships on the British-Canada route every month. In the Battle of Newfoundland, about 20-22 million tons of materials transported to the United Kingdom were thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. We also lost nearly 20 million tons of ship tonnage (materials are only lost one way, and ship return journeys will also be lost, including some British ships), and the materials actually transported to the hands of allies were only more than 20 million tons.

Although the material losses were shocking enough, the personnel losses were even more serious. During the entire escort operation, we lost nearly 80,000 seamen and naval officers and soldiers on escort missions. They were either buried in the turbulent sea or spent their days in the enemy's prisoner of war camps.

This is not all the losses of American personnel. Since Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the cumulative losses of armed forces in the United States have reached more than 800,000, of which nearly 400,000 were killed, more than 100,000 were seriously injured or permanently disabled, and another 100,000 to 150,000 people were missing or captured. Only about 200,000 injuries can be cured. At the beginning, there were several troops, dozens, and hundreds of casualties. Later, they were all ships and divisions.

Do you know that in the Battle of the South Indian Ocean, two full army divisions who were transferred by boat and were almost all killed in the sea? Do you know that in the landing and subsequent battles of the Horn of East Africa, we almost lost all the troops participating in the Torch Campaign? Do you know that those fast-built escort carriers were not sunk one by one, but were sunk in one blow? Do you know that so far, we have lost almost all the battleships, heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers built before the war? Do you know that in Fode

The two desperate and helpless and isolated US Army advisors finally surrendered to the German army, which was only one-fifth of their number? Do you know that Hitler now has two SS divisions, all of which were captured soldiers of our army. They were originally bathed in the sunshine of freedom with us, but now they were forced to raise their right hands and shout "Hi, Hitler!" Do you know that Voice of Europe actually has a lot of broadcast news, with high credibility, and at least much more reliable than our news media!..."
