Lighthouse Country, Washington, White Palace.
The second commander, William Brian, after ending the meeting with Edward Gray, the Foreign Secretary of the Never Set, rushed back to the White Palace to report the results of the meeting to The Grand Commander Woodrower Wilson.
After listening to William Bryan’s report, Woodrow’s expression became serious.
“To be honest, the sincerity of the Empire that never sets is still very sufficient. If we can really defeat the Germanic Empire and allow us to receive the Germanic Empire’s overseas assets in South America, we will reap great benefits. At the same time, the entire American continent has truly become our back garden. Moreover, the people who do not set the sun are also right. If the Germanic Empire had won the war and dominated the entire European continent, it would not have been a good thing for us! Woodrow said.
“Yes, Your Excellency, The Grand President. The ambitions of the Germans were enormous. They wanted to crush the old powers of Gaul and the Empire of the Rising Sun, plunder their colonies, and dominate all of Europe and the world.
Although, our industrial output value has already belonged to the world’s first. But it has to be admitted that Europe is still the center of the world. The whole of Europe is much stronger than we are. Once the Germans had won the war, they would have to unite the forces of all of Europe to compete with us. At that time, I am afraid that we will not be their opponents at all. ”
William Bryan was also worried.
The lighthouse nation’s ambitions are also great, hoping to snatch world hegemony from the hands of the sun that never sets.
However, they did not want the hegemony of the sun to fall into the hands of the Germans. In that case, it will be even more difficult for them to seize world hegemony.
“But to be involved in this war is a big deal. This is especially true when the war situation is not yet clear. War, after all, is going to kill people! Woodrow sighed.
William Brian nodded. For the lighthouse nation, whether to participate in the war is indeed a very difficult choice.
“Come, gather the ministers of the cabinet and the top military leaders and discuss them!” Woodrow wilson did not act arbitrarily, but summoned the military and political high-ranking people of the Lighthouse Nation for consultation.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!” The secretary immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, the top cabinet and military leaders of the Lighthouse Nation were all gathered. There was a discussion about whether the Lighthouse Nation should go to war and which side to join.
“Your Excellency, I am afraid it will be too early to enter the war now. On the European battlefield, it was not possible to distinguish between victory and defeat. The Germanic Empire already had a certain advantage in the early stages of the war. However, the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Gaul And the Tsarist Empire were also actively organizing forces in an attempt to launch a counterattack. In addition, the Kingdom of Caesar also joined the Entente Group, making the Entente Group still very strong.
However, if we want to conclude that the Entente group will win, it is not necessarily. The germanic empire showed a powerful battle in this battle, which was enough to shock the whole world. In this war, they used a large number of new weapons. Their tanks and planes, as well as their powerful firepower, were the main factors in their ability to easily crush the Sun and the Gauls and the Russians on the battlefield. ”
Minister of War Lindley Garrison was clearly appreciative of the performance of the Germanic Empire’s armies on the battlefield.
“How big is the gap between our army and the army of the Germanic Empire?” Woodrow asked.
“Your Excellency, our army is not mobilized. There were only about 100,000 troops in the country, and the Number of National Guards in various states. If we really want to go to war and still be enemies of the Germans. Then we have to mobilize the army first. Then, strengthen the firepower of the army, develop advanced tanks and aircraft, and so on. In this way, our army will be qualified to fight against the Germans, and will not be slaughtered by the Germans after going to the battlefield! ”
Army Chief of Staff Major General Hugh Scott bluntly pointed out the problems facing the Lighthouse Nation Army.
Woodrow’s face suddenly became very ugly.
Originally, he also thought that as one of the world’s top powers, the military strength of the lighthouse country should not be underestimated.
But he didn’t think about it, everything was too much for him to think.
Although they have a strong industry, in terms of military affairs, they are undoubtedly a long way from being a first-class power.
Especially in the Army, the gap is particularly large.
“Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, we can mobilize the army first and improve its combat effectiveness. Wait until the war situation is clear, then decide whether to join the war, which side to join, and so on. As long as we have great strength. Then, our interests can be guaranteed, and no one dares to harm our interests! War Secretary Lindley Garrison proposed.
Woodrow nodded, thinking it was a very good idea.
“Well, gentlemen, given the situation in our country, and on the battlefield, it is too early to take a stand. Let’s wait a little longer, and wait until the battle is clear before making a decision. At the same time, during this period, the Army will be mobilized. I hope that by the time we decide to go to war, we will have enough, strong enough troops! Woodrow said.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!” The top brass of the Lighthouse Nation answered one after another.
Woodrower was also well aware that the ambitions of the Lighthouse Nation needed strong military prowess. Without strong military might, everything will be empty talk.
Just like the current lighthouse countries, there is a strong industrial strength, but in addition to the navy can barely be considered strong, the army is really not enough to see.
And this, at all, can not support the strong ambitions of the lighthouse nation.
Therefore, Woodrow wilson also had to press down first, and then wait for a while. Wait until the war situation in Europe is clear, and wait until the military strength of the lighthouse nation has been further improved before making a choice.
The Lighthouse Nation remained neutral, much to the disappointment of the Empire.
The Germanic Empire, on the other hand, was relieved.
This meant they had more time to crush the Sun and the Gauls. Perhaps, before the Lighthouse Nation decided to join the war, it would have locked in a victory. When the time comes, the lighthouse country will naturally not dare to act rashly.
