There were things that could not be changed, just like this man. He could have been the leader of the country, as long as he was broad-minded enough. But he could not. He still wanted to be the best of the best, and Wesley had no intention of getting involved. He could not care less about these things and could only leave.
The United States, on the other hand, was jubilant. They had won the war again, which was what everyone wanted to see. The war in Europe had reached its climax. The German Blitzkrieg had begun, and the British and French forces had retreated to Dunkirk. But this time Hitler was ruthless. Instead of letting the Air Force destroy everything, he pressed on. The great Dunkirk retreat did not happen. The British and French forces were either destroyed or surrendered. France fell.
The British became anxious. This was how their army was like. The troops that had been wiped out were all elites. They hurriedly began to mobilize troops overseas to defend their homeland. At this time, China's full-scale civil war had begun. It had been brought forward by several years!
Wesley sighed helplessly and then announced that the United States would not intervene in China's internal affairs, but the alliance treaty signed by the two sides was still in effect. Japan and North Korea established new regimes and became puppets of the United States.
These two places would be dumping places for American goods. If they wanted to develop, they had to dream. Wesley would not give them a chance. Everything seemed to be on a booking trajectory again, except that it changed a lot, but the general direction remained the same. Hitler did not launch a land battle against Britain and instead attacked the Soviet Union. Wesley watched the form of the world war and then played at home.
"Wesley, that was a good fight. Now the Pacific is our inner lake," Roosevelt said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. President. Without your support, it would be difficult for me to do this," Wesley responded modestly.
"So what should we do next? France has fallen, Britain is powerless to fight back, and the Soviet Union is losing ground. What do we need to do?" Roosevelt asked.
"Of course we are selling things to the British. Their capital is still very strong. After all, they have plundered the world for hundreds of years. It's their turn to take it out." Wesley smiled.
"What about the Soviet Union?"
"What does it have to do with us? If they take out the money, I can naturally sell it, but if they don't have money, everything is off the table. It's better to let them bear the pressure themselves. Moreover, their territory is too big, and the threat to the China-US alliance is even greater. We can wait and see."
"You want to fight the Soviet Union?" Roosevelt asked in surprise.
"That's right. Let's ignore it and see if we can force them to the side of Germany. This is the best time for us to join, right? We can attack in two directions, especially our ally, China. They have a lot of border with the other side and the terrain is flat, suitable for our armored forces to launch a large-scale attack. In a few months, we can completely occupy the Asian part and enter the rest period in winter." Wesley pointed to the map of the presidential office and explained his strategy.
"And the land obtained?" Roosevelt asked.
"We can directly return those that belong to China and not to China. We can form some independent countries. They have a lot of ethnicities there and directly separate and establish their own countries. This way, we will lose the threat."
"You seem to think very highly of China. They are in a civil war now!"
"It's easy to fly out of this. Besides, the Soviet Union will not ally with Germany now. This will take time to ferment. We just have to wait. When the United States becomes a world superpower, we still need allies, especially in the Pacific. And the best collaborator is China. You should study their history. This is a good collaborator. They will not betray their friends again."
"You like to study the present with history, just like Ri. Ben."
"That's right. History always gives us some correct guidance. Although it's not always right, we can always see something, right?" Wesley said. "I know that many people in our country are more inclined to Britain and always want to be nobles, but this doesn't fit the characteristics of our country. They are too deeply affected. We need to face the future correctly and choose the right allies."
"But the two parties in China have different claims. One of them is the same as the Soviet Union."
"Haha, the different political system is just a saying. In fact, it's all about development in essence. What is capitalism developed to the extreme?" Wesley asked.
"Well…" Roosevelt didn't know how to say it.
Wesley continued, "As productivity and technology develop, the future will be better and better. I don't dare to say anything else, but the world is bound to be united. The earth needs to unite and walk out of the earth to see the outside world. This is bound to happen. I think no one has more say than me in the direction of technology. When we join forces and walk out, the earth will inevitably develop towards the Federation."
"At that time, the political system will no longer be important. People will not fight for the resources on Earth. After all, there are only so many resources on Earth. How many years can it develop? You have to know that many resources are not renewable. We have to think about the future, and China is our most suitable partner."
"I hope you're right, but I still need to consider the domestic situation." Roosevelt nodded, but his difficulties were not small. "You should have run for the next president."
"I have no interest in politics in my life. Let our children do it. I'm going home to see the children." Wesley said goodbye and returned home. Ruan Ling and the two little guys greeted their father.
Wesley was home on leave, enjoying his family, and the world began to change. The United States did not support anyone. They sold only things, and the British had money. They bought supplies with gold and fought air battles with the Germans every day. The Soviet Union was struggling to resist. Most of the Far East troops were transferred to Europe, and it was difficult for them to buy anything because the Americans were asking a high price.
