Historically, when Roosevelt ran for president for the third time, the United States had not yet entered the war, and the United States had a strong isolationism and wait-and-see sentiment. But now, it is completely different. The United States has been completely involved in the war!

During war times, everything must be simplified. The presidential campaign is a very complicated process, which consumes money and also takes time. The US president should not waste time in this regard, and there is not much time left to the United States!

"I even think that our presidential election can simplify the plan. If we want to win the war, we cannot waste our limited energy on such meaningless and worthless activities. President Roosevelt is the president who is most suitable for us in the United States. What do you think?" Lister said to the people below.

Suddenly, many people were nodding, making sense!

Roosevelt led the United States out of the dilemma of the economic crisis. After that, Roosevelt led the United States to develop and strengthen step by step. Before the invasion of the island countries, Roosevelt realized the arrival of the war and prepared in advance. Unfortunately, the isolationism in the country was too strong, which made Roosevelt unable to let go.

The attack at Pearl Harbor fully verified Roosevelt's foresight, who was the most suitable president of the United States!

But how could the practice of President Washington remained broken?

Roosevelt did not attend this meeting. For him, staying out of the matter was the best choice. Just like in ancient China, wearing a yellow robe was a taboo. He had to be subordinates and persuaded again and again. It was the destiny of heaven that he had to accept it.

Roosevelt did not attend, but his wife Eleanor arrived in the chaotic venue in time.

Looking at the people present, Eleanor showed the style of the first lady. Her eyes were very moving, as if she could speak, and her voice was so soft, but she was not lacking in rationality.

"1940 is not the usual period, but the special period of war, and we should not argue about anything other than what we can do for the interests of the entire country."

"Franklin has no idea of ​​breaking the convention, but I firmly believe that everyone present is rational and hopes to choose a president who is most suitable for us in the United States and can lead the United States to the final victory. I firmly believe that Franklin is that person. In his heart, he has always firmly believed that the United States will win, and that Germany and island countries will be the ultimate losers. He has been working diligently for this."

Eleanor's words finally infected everyone present. The voting election within the Democratic Party finally decided to nominate Roosevelt as the next presidential candidate.

At this time, Roosevelt was inspecting the Newport News Shipyard. He is still the current president of the United States and is responsible for the interests of the United States.

The United States needs a large number of aircraft carriers! Although Roosevelt was not a soldier, he also had a keen premonition that the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft would definitely change the future maritime war.

For example, if the islanders did not have an aircraft carrier, they would never have successfully attacked Pearl Harbor!

Now, if we want to regain control of the Pacific, the United States needs to maximize its industrial production capacity and build a large number of aircraft carriers!

However, no matter how wealthy the United States is, it cannot afford hundreds of aircraft carriers. In this way, an affordable escort aircraft carrier is a better choice for the US Navy.

The escort aircraft carrier is distinguished from the fleet aircraft carrier. The fleet aircraft carrier is the main aircraft carrier of the navy, with a large displacement and a large number of aircraft carriers. It is built completely according to military standards and is the main force of the naval aviation war.

The biggest feature of escort aircraft carriers is that they are small, mainly used to escort merchant ships. They generally deploy in front of the transport fleet, use carrier-based aircraft to reconnaise, attack submarines, or guide surface ships to conduct attacks. They can also conduct opposite shore attacks, but generally do not participate in direct combat against enemy fleets.

These characteristics of escort aircraft carriers determine that their cost is very low and can be mass-produced on assembly lines. Therefore, Roosevelt has always emphasized that it is necessary to develop escort aircraft carriers in large quantities.

As a result, several shipyards responded soon, and the one with the most violent reaction was the Newport News Shipyard. They claimed that they had built more than 30 escort aircraft carriers and were experienced. If they handed over the order to them, they could build one in two or three months!

Roosevelt was very satisfied with this construction speed, so he came to the shipyard on that day to inspect.

Accompanying Roosevelt was General Nimitz, the commander of the Pacific Navy.

Last year, Roosevelt realized the possible dangers in the Pacific Ocean, so Roosevelt ordered the commander-in-chief of the US fleet, James Rechashen, to move the fleet from the West Coast to Hawaii to deter Japan. However, the general did not agree with the president's view because of his security and insufficient resources in the region, and did not increase his awareness of security.

So, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt fired him and chose Nimitz when looking for his successor. This naval veteran in his fifties was the most suitable candidate in Roosevelt's eyes.

However, Nimitz refused on the grounds of his "insufficient qualifications". The position was succeeded by his friend General Hasbourne Kimmel. After the Pearl Harbor incident, Nimitz was appointed as commander of the Pacific Fleet.

The situation in the Pacific is very dangerous, and Nimitz also has concerns, especially the number of fleet aircraft carriers is too small and the construction cycle of the new aircraft carrier is too long. How to achieve combat effectiveness is an urgent problem.

When the group arrived at the shipyard, they met Walter, the head of the shipyard. At this time, Walter was full of confidence.

"How come you have the experience of building more than 30 escort aircraft carriers? The Navy probably hasn't placed an order at the Newport News Shipyard, right?" Nimitz immediately asked when he saw Walter.

"Yes, we have never placed an order, but we have accepted the ordering contract for Germany's new container ships. We used assembly line method to produce more than 30 ships, which are fast and have low cost. Their container ships, as well as the escort carriers we need, are of the same level."

As he said that, Walter brought everyone to the conference room. On the spread out design drawings, Nimitz just glanced at it and knew that Walter was right. The 148-meter cargo ship had a flat deck on the top, the island was arranged on the right, there was a lift on the side, and a hangar below. This thing, where is the container ship, it is clearly an aircraft carrier! Moreover, the power was also good, and it actually reached 18 knots!
