Chapter 725 Rainbow Project
Soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, and countries that do not want to dominate the world do not have qualified leaders.
For the United States, after completing its existing territory, they are already facing two oceans.
In the Pacific, since the United States defeated Spain, its main opponent has become Japan, which has allied with Britain. In the Atlantic, the United States must guard against European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany.
In this way, from the 19th to the early 20th century, the international situation was still unclear. The United States did not actively participate in disputes, but was always vigilant to avoid the fire of war and itself. This is the defense strategy of the two oceans.
At the end of World War I, the United States began to develop a strategy of competing for the world. This is the Rainbow Plan.
This rainbow project is a magnificent combat plan, developed by the United States Joint Operations Staff in the 1920s and 1930s.
This plan mainly includes the following aspects.
The Red Plan, and the Crimson Plan, later on, was used to deal with the British Empire and Canada, and the combat plan even included the first invasion of Canada before Britain responded.
Black Plan: Used against Germany. The plan assumes that Germany attempts to seize French colonies in the Caribbean during World War I, and the United States will take the lead in seizing these colonies.
Brown Plan: To deal with national uprisings in the Philippines.
Gray Project: used to invade Central American countries.
Golden Plan: Used to defeat France.
Orange Plan: Used to defeat Japan.
Silver Plan: Used to defeat Italy.
White Plan: Used to defeat rebellion within the United States.
Yellow Plan: used to deal with the war in China, especially the Sino-Japanese War issue.
Among them, the Red Plan is put first. As the situation progresses, the possibility of this plan being realized for the United States is getting greater and greater.
Britain's national strength has declined in great decline!
Now, Britain is unable to protect itself, so how can it take care of the colonies outside Shanghai? Canada is simply the meat that the United States says!
The United States has always regarded itself as the master of America. Just look at the rainbow plan above and you will know that the first thing the United States wants to rule is the entire America, especially Canada in the north!
Now, it has been the most suitable time!
"Now, the British navy has almost become a coastal defense force. The British are preparing to counter the German landing. If we attack Canada now, the UK will not have any counterattacking means."
Army Secretary Henry Stimson, holding the red plan material in his hand, said enthusiastically to the person in front of him: "We intend to occupy the Canadian port city of Halifax in the first stage, so that we can completely cut off Canada's ties with the UK."
"After that, we divided into three groups to invade Canada. We invade Montreal and Quebec City from Vermont; We invade Winnipeg and its military supplies stations from North Dakota; and our strategic nickel mines from Ontario from the Midwest. At the same time, our navy needs to occupy the Great Lakes and block the Atlantic and Pacific ports in Canada."
Once this plan is implemented, it can be imagined that Canada has almost no room for counterattack. As long as there is no support from the UK, Canada is simply the fat meat in the mouth of the United States.
Hearing this, Roosevelt frowned, and he didn't speak.
Secretary of State Hull, who was standing by, had already expressed his objection: "No, we can't do this!"
"Why?" Henry looked at Hull. There were no loopholes in this plan. Once it occupied Canada and the territory of the United States would be expanded to the entire North America. Isn't this good?
"Yes, if we look at it simply from a military perspective, Britain is the best opportunity for us to occupy Canada. If we send troops now, we will definitely be able to easily take Canada. But, everyone, please see clearly that a bigger enemy has appeared." Hull's tone was very serious.
"Now, Germany has occupied the entire Western Europe. If we conquer Canada at this time, Britain will be even more hit. It can be said that it will accelerate Britain's failure. In this way, what we face will no longer be a scattered and messy European countries, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, etc., but a unified and powerful country. When Germany integrates the entire Western Europe, it will definitely become our biggest enemy!"
Hull saw keenly what the problem was.
The European countries have small land areas and have various historical contradictions. Europe is a mess of loose sand.
However, if Europe is integrated, it will be different. There is no doubt that Europe will become a terrible enemy! A unified Europe will seriously threaten the interests of the United States!
Now, this trend has begun. Recently, it is said that Cyric has been in France. Moreover, the Germans are currently said to be building European banks, intending to unify the currencies of the entire occupied area.
This is the first step to unify Europe. The currency has been unified and various factories have been unified. With the strong technical support of the Germans, it can be imagined that Europe will soon become strong, so powerful that it is dangerous for the United States to touch it!
The two sides are just separated by the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, will the aggressive Cialis face the United States across the sea and stay friendly?
Hull, who had a foreshadowing the worst, has always opposed domestic isolationism and has always hoped to help Britain.
At least, Britain can be used to consume Germany's strength. Germany has a small population. In the war, if one dies, one less will be reduced to the burden on the United States!
"It is precisely because of this that we have to join the invasion of Canada. If Britain surrenders quickly like France, as a British colony, Canada will likely be requested by the Germans. At that time, the Germans will directly hand over to us on land. Although we are not afraid, you are clear about the German army's offensive ability." Henry said.
Now is a good opportunity. If you don’t fight now, the consequences may be even more serious!
Henry was trying to convince Hull, and Hull was trying to convince Henry.
In the entire oval table room, there were almost two people arguing, and Roosevelt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had never spoken.
As the president of the United States, they are very interested in expanding their territory. It can be said that expanding their territory to the north is indeed a good opportunity, but it will bring even more terrible consequences that the United States cannot accept!
"Report, British Prime Minister Churchill, came to Washington secretly and hoped to meet with you." At this moment, an assistant came in and reported.
