    Chapter 152 This is coercion in disguise ¡°The formation of the Joint Staff also means that the two sides will achieve a high degree of sharing of military information and combat resources. With Uncle Sam¡¯s temper, can you convince him this time?¡± ¡°It is a cross-border matter.  "Joint Staff Intelligence and Information Headquarters," an international military organization that marks the establishment of a quasi-alliance! "Oh, sorry, 'Joint Staff Intelligence and Information Headquarters for Trans-Japanese Affairs'!" Speer said seriously, "Well,  How confident are you that Roosevelt will accept this proposal? "Is it possible?" Speer shrugged. Generally speaking, the working atmosphere in the Chancellery is relatively relaxed and pleasant, at least not as exciting as before.  The heart-wrenching battle report came.  In Saudi Arabia, the Italian army's offensive has long since come to a standstill. The troops loyal to the Saudi King have established a foothold in the north with the help of German volunteers and American special forces and established a solid defense circle for the capital; in the Pacific, regardless of  Whichever side wins will be good or bad for Germany's own interests. The key lies in how to turn bad things into good things and good things into better things.  "This really hurts Uncle Sam!" Speer laughed. "Isolation once brought them long-term peace, but now, isolation puts them in an embarrassing situation!" "Really?" Speer was slightly surprised.  , but after thinking about it, he agreed that this approach was feasible. It is indeed not difficult to overthrow the current Italian government by force. Once the Mussolini government falls, Germany will quickly control the Mediterranean region and take over Italian colonies in Africa.  , and then expand its leadership over the countries in West Asia and occupy independent countries in South Asia. The interests of the United States in these regions will be squeezed by us, and it can only complain secretly!  Unless Roosevelt's will alone can overcome the US Congress and public opinion, it will be difficult to withstand these pressures!  " "This can be regarded as leaking the core secrets of the country!  "Speller joked. "What if we really carry out nuclear cooperation!  Speer calculated it carefully, "The cost is reduced by half, and the speed can be greatly improved, which is completely in the interests of both countries!"  " " Touring the scenery, visiting facilities, and reviewing the volunteer troops, it can be regarded as a very good vacation!  It's just that our Secretary of Defense likes to vacation in the North Sea, unless Americans can also go on the kind of yachts he likes!  "Although Speer did not serve as Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet for a long time, during the Adolf Hitler era, as the "Queen Designer" and the main organizer of combat readiness facilities, he held a good position in the high-level circles of Germany, holding military and political dignitaries.  The members made some innocuous jokes, which was one of the traditional projects of that period. ¡°Is this considered coercion?  Speer asked with a smile. Due to the time difference, a few hours later, U.S. President Roosevelt convened an internal meeting with his main staff and military generals at the White House to discuss this big "project" sent by the Germans.  ! On military issues, military generals should naturally be the first to take a stand. Chief of Naval Operations Ernst King said: "As far as I know, Germany's staff intelligence network mainly covers Europe and is relatively weak in the Americas and Asia.  Forming such a joint military organization will not be of great help to our current situation. After all, Italy is nothing to worry about!  " "Kander, what do you think?  "Roosevelt turned to look at his Secretary of State. "Henry?  "Roosevelt finally turned his attention to Wallace. Not long ago, the vice president visited Germany on behalf of the US government and finally negotiated a huge arms purchase contract with the Germans. Although he did not get much benefit in terms of price,  It has even been criticized by some media as a "waste of money", but people with an overall view and strategic vision believe that the added value brought by these tens of billions of dollars is absolutely "worth it".  As soon as the ships and volunteers arrived in the United States, the two major military and industrial powers officially stood in the same camp. Just like the relationship between the United States and the Allied Powers such as Britain and France before entering the war in 1917, neutrality was more in name only. "I have just been thinking!  , why did the Germans choose to propose the concept of the Joint Staff at this special period? Could it be that their government is planning to directly participate in the war one day in the future?  " Marshall immediately put forward a different opinion: "I think that unless Japan completely loses power in the Pacific battlefield, they will be able to send troops to seize Japan's colonies and occupied areas in Asia!  It seems too early to tell given the current situation!  " Seeing the debate gradually starting, Roosevelt spoke: "After listening to your opinions just now, I feel that my thinking has broadened a lot. In fact, I should tell you that the Germans also included some special instructions when they made their suggestions this time.  If we accept their suggestion, the benefits will of course be obvious. If we deny their suggestion, there will be some not so good consequences!  "Roosevelt waved his hand and signaled to the Army Chief of Staff to calm down: "Whether it's a threat or a coercion, it doesn't matter.This all shows that the Germans have high hopes for this and are eager to see it become a reality!  Direct confrontation does have some unbearable disadvantages for us. If we accept it completely, we will fall into passivity. In this case, we might as well make corresponding modifications based on our considerations on the basis of acceptance in principle. What do you think?  "
