    If you join the war, just join the war. At this point, Yang Feng has nothing to do. Besides, the Americans have lived happily for so long and made war fortune for so many years. It is time to pay some price. He is now looking forward to the time when Japan reaches the west coast.  What will people look like when they see you again? In terms of Japan's current strength, this really doesn't have much of a problem. They can definitely win Pearl Harbor anyway. Americans may not know them well enough, but Yang Feng knows it very well.  You must know that the Japanese at this time had long ago changed their superstition of the Zero because of repeated setbacks in air battles with China. After all, this kind of fighter could not form a reassuring advantage over the Lightning and Thunder, and these two fighters  The Americans have much more equipment than China. If they want to attack the United States or seize Hawaii, they must face the U.S. Army Air Force. On Oahu alone, the Americans have 500 Twin Demons.  They are not sure of winning the last two Super Leagues either.  Therefore, their latest Yamato-class aircraft carrier is equipped with a brand-new fighter jet, which uses a large Venus engine, and because of the smooth sea routes, it uses a German-made turbocharger.  Originally, the gale in history was not even close, but the name was the same.  The main force of the U.S. HNA is still the Wildcat. You can imagine what will happen to this kind of fighter that is difficult to fight against the Zero in the face of strong winds. This is not to say that the United States does not have the strength to produce better fighter jets, but that Japan¡¯s HNA was in the East China Sea last time.  The disastrous defeat during the war gave them a wrong impression, so it was not until after the war that the Army Aviation P40 and Flying Snake were beaten to the point of being unable to fight back in the face of the Zero, that they hurriedly developed an updated Hellcat, but at least  It will take half a year before it can be put into use.  Coupled with the self-guided oxygen torpedoes that are said to have begun mass production, Yang Feng really does not think that the Americans can stop the Japanese at sea, but this is none of his business. The war is burning in the United States. This is what he  The most anticipated thing, of course, he had to try to minimize his losses, not only Lockheed's move to the east coast.  Even Fox Studios must be prepared for this. Although they don¡¯t quite understand this, people like Kelly Johnson still listen to the big boss. At least he must have more experience in dealing with the Japanese than those members of Congress.  "However, the relocation of Yang Feng's enterprises has aroused some good-natured ridicule in American public opinion. In the eyes of Americans, Boss Yang is too cautious.  If the Japanese invade the west coast, it would be a joke like a fantasy.  ¡°Joke or not, Lockheed would rather reduce production capacity and move east, which makes many American aircraft manufacturers happy. This terrifying beast is almost overwhelming them.  Especially after the war started, the fact that Lockheed's two fighter jets alone supported the Philippine sky pushed them to the edge of the cliff. Now they can take a breather.  As for the main task of Yang Feng¡¯s trip, this was not worth mentioning to Roosevelt. Just ask the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia to talk to Ibn Saud.  "Yang, you can rest assured on this. We still have enough influence in Saudi Arabia. His Majesty Ibn Saud is also an old friend of the United States. I believe he will not refuse such a small request." Roosevelt smiled and said to Yang Feng,  This guy's Indian Ocean Fleet was a good move, otherwise he wouldn't have given him the warships originally given to the US Navy under such circumstances.  However, as soon as he finished speaking, the secretary came over and told him with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, the King of Saudi Arabia has rejected our request." "Huh?" Roosevelt was stunned at the time.  "Your Excellency, it seems that this old friend of the American people is ready to make a new friend." Yang Feng said lightly.  Ibn Saud is not stupid.  It's not a big deal to reject the Americans. Their navy is almost in danger of losing its own protection now. If the Japanese really hit the door, Roosevelt will definitely not send warships to save him. But if he has to agree to Yang Feng to build a naval base on his own land, then there is no need.  It is said that the Japanese are definitely going to knock on the door, and their naval fleet is hanging around outside their door.  Their army still has hundreds of thousands of troops in India. It is not a piece of cake to destroy themselves. There is no second option for this problem.  "Yang, I think this needs to be communicated again." Roosevelt said awkwardly.  He really didn't expect this outcome.  "There is no need to communicate anymore. The Saudis are not prepared to choose between us and the Japanese, so we will help them make the choice." Yang Feng said with a sneer.  "What do you mean?" Roosevelt asked.  "It's very simple. I plan to transfer two divisions from Central Asia to the Middle East, and then I and my Middle Eastern Army will attack Riyadh from north to south. After that, we will replace them with a king who listens to our words. I will follow the Iranian model and exile Ibn Saud.  Get rid of it, or we simply separate Saudi Arabia. This country¡¯s strength in the Middle East isIt has become stronger, which is not conducive to control. I think we should restore the rule of the Hejaz royal family in the Holy City, leaving only Najd to the Saud family. They were originally only the rulers of Najd, and the Hashemite family was just driven out by them.  It¡¯s been less than twenty years since I left.  Although Hussein ibn Ali and his successors have passed away, his second son Abdullah is still the king of Jordan, and the descendants of his third son Faisal are still the kings of Iraq. I think Han  It is only fair that the Najd area should be handed over to Abdullah as his inheritance, and then the Saud family continue to retain their Najd.  Yang Feng said. He has been planning this plan for a long time. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the most important leader of the Arab world was King Hussein of Hijaz. It was a pity that he did not want to be a puppet of the British completely, so he was supported by the British.  Ben Saud was defeated and had to go into exile, and later died of illness in the territory of his second son. If the Hashemite family's rule over Hijaz is restored now, Roosevelt will definitely get the support of Jordan and Iraq. Such a move will definitely gain the support of Jordan.  Coming to Yang Feng is not as simple as getting a port. In fact, the Hijaz region will be directly controlled by him in the future. The British are completely dependent on him for support in the Middle East, and they will definitely not be able to compete with him. He has already controlled Qatar.  , the United Arab Emirates and other places, if he continues to control the Hejaz, the army, navy and air force in the Middle East, plus Pakistan, which is now controlled by him, this guy will have his roots in the Middle East, but it is not okay to disagree, obviously.  Now Yang Feng is extremely important to the United States. In fact, he can do it on his own without the consent of the United States. There are no American troops there anyway. It is a great honor to be able to tell him this now. Besides, this will also end the Germans' influence on the Middle East.  As for the Japanese, they can just let Yang Feng deal with them at that time. ¡°As long as we can guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of American companies there, we don¡¯t care about the regime change there.  "Roosevelt shrugged and said. "In this case, Yang Feng was relieved. In the United States, he sent a telegram to Sun Dianying, asking him to send the armored division of Ma Hongkui's Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway Guard Army that had followed him into Central Asia.  , and another mechanized division is transferred, the division commanders must be replaced by Muslims, and then go south to the Iranian border to stand by. Now Sun Dianying has controlled the entire east of the Caspian Sea, and he belongs to the veritable king of Central Asia. And there is no important one there now.  During the war, the Japanese army had no intention of entering and only wanted to secure their Tyumen Oilfield safely. The Soviets were also unable to provoke the Japanese. They were now stretched thin with their mustache alone. In this case, Sun Dianying certainly had no interest in developing northward.  , sitting in Central Asia with an army of 200,000, with a posture that no one was allowed to touch, and detached two divisions without any pressure. Immediately after Yang Feng returned to London from the United States, the British certainly no longer needed his mediation, although they understood.  Roosevelt's declaration of war against Germany at this time was a trick on Britain, but Churchill had no other choice. Britain had to fight, otherwise they would have to bear the wrath of the Americans. Yang Feng had nothing to say, but just informed them of his decision.  Now the British naturally have no qualifications to object. Montgomery's tens of thousands of troops and Wavell's troops in India are all supported by Yang Feng, and this does no harm to them. If Yang Feng retains a naval base in the Middle East, they will not  We need to worry about the Japanese landing on the Arabian Peninsula. As for Yang Feng's control there, this is much better than the Japanese or Germans controlling it. At least he will protect the interests of BP before going to Germany after leaving the UK.  For once, Yang Feng sincerely apologized to Mustache. "Yang, I had expected this. Americans want a Europe that has been shattered by war. The principles of this country will not change, but this is okay.  Okay, this banquet can only begin when all the guests have arrived.  "The mustache smiled and said. "Your Excellency, so be it! In order to express my apology, I will secretly supply the rare metal materials you purchase in the United States from China. I have several submarines in my hand, and they will be transported to the west coast of the Red Sea.  The port you designate, of course, you must also allow my fleet to exist in the Red Sea.  Yang Feng said. "Yang, what kind of metal can you provide?"  "Xiao Huzi said that Germany imports many types of goods from the United States, and it would be very troublesome to cut off the source of some. "I will be able to provide you with whatever you need, whether it is tungsten, molybdenum, nickel, or even some  Special machines, gasoline additives, and some newer rare materials.  "Yang Feng said with a smile, this can also encourage domestic development in this area. Anyway, it is very easy to send a submarine once, not to mention the extra one or two hundred tons.
