"Gentlemen, our enemies are stronger than we expected, and much stronger, which makes it more difficult for us to defeat them. However, this war is already imminent, and we have to Send it! We have no other choice!" President Roosevelt looked at these US generals and said solemnly.

In order to get rid of the impact of the economic crisis, President Roosevelt chose to strengthen the armaments and drive the economic recovery through the expansion of armaments. There is no doubt that this choice of the US government has been successful. This allowed the United States to quickly come out of the economic crisis. However, behind the crazy expansion of armaments is the high government debt. Now the country's income has long been unable to repay its debts. So, in order to divert the public's attention and find a way out of these debts. The U.S. government had to turn its attention to the war.

If the United States can defeat Germany in the war and replace Germany as the future world hegemon. Then, they will be able to repay the huge debts they owed through the benefits they gained during the war. Even more benefits can be obtained by establishing a post-war leadership system. Therefore, senior officials of the US government and military, including President Roosevelt, are very clear that this war is inevitable. If it does not participate in the war, the United States will also be directly crushed by debt. Participating in wars and winning wars has become the only way out for the US government.

Of course, if the United States has no way to defeat Germany in this war, it will win. Then, what awaits the United States is also the path of being destroyed.

"Your Excellency, our enemy is very, very powerful! It can be seen from their wars with Russia and island countries. Their army and navy are definitely the most powerful in the world!" James, the commander of the US Navy Fleet ? Admiral Richardson said.

Although, over the years, the strength of the US Navy has also grown explosively. However, they also had no confidence in defeating the German Navy. Even if it is only the power of the German Navy deployed in the Atlantic Ocean, it also makes the US Navy feel very difficult.

"Yes, Your Excellency. It is very difficult to defeat Germany. Even if we try our best, we may not be able to win!" Secretary of War Henry Stimson also said.

Everyone is very clear that once they participate in the war, there is no turning back. Between them and Germany, it is really either you or me. If you want to go back, it is impossible.

"Gentlemen, do we have any other options? Even if we don't go to war, we can't last long. We can only survive if we win the war. So, gentlemen, I don't want to discuss whether to go to war. I only have One requirement, that is, in the coming war, to do everything possible to win the war!" President Roosevelt said with a serious face.

President Roosevelt said that everyone was frightened by the strong military power shown by Germany. Some even wavered about joining the war. Therefore, he must forcefully push forward the war and not give these generals a chance to repent.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" The generals of the US military said in succession.

"General Marshall, are we ready for war?" President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency, the army's preparations are 80% complete. So far, the army has mobilized five million troops. Among them, 12 armored divisions have been formed. Half of the armored divisions are equipped with M4 medium tanks and M5 light tanks. The remaining armored units are equipped with M3Lee tanks and M3 light tanks. In addition, M26 heavy tanks have also begun small batch production. We strive to equip each armored division with a battalion of M26 in the shortest possible time Tanks," Admiral Marshall said.

Because of the imminent war and the threat of Germany's powerful armored forces, the military technology of the United States has developed very rapidly. In another time and space, the U.S. military in this time and space has already begun to equip many weapons that were not equipped until the end of the war or even at the end of the war.

President Roosevelt nodded: "The German Tiger and Leopard tanks are very powerful. I hope that our army can also have advanced tanks that can rival the German Tiger and Leopard tanks."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Admiral Marshall replied.

But the generals of the army are a little tired. The German Tiger Leopard tank is a classic tank. The performance is very powerful. Even the M26 tank, which the U.S. Army has placed high hopes on, may at most rival the "Black Panther" tank in terms of performance. And if there is a real fight, the outcome is very difficult to say. As for the more powerful 'Tiger' tank, it might not be able to withstand it.

In another time and space, the United States and Russia relied on the powerful M4 and T34 tanks to defeat the German armored forces. Both the M4 tank and the T-34 tank produced tens of thousands of tanks. And the "Leopard" tank, the "Tiger" tank and even the "Tiger King" tank of the head of state are all less than a fraction of the opponent. No matter how advanced the performance is, it cannot defeat so many enemy tanks!

But in this time and space, the production process of the German tiger and leopard tanks has been simplified, and Germany's resources are not lacking, which allows Germany to go crazy. The number of Tiger and Leopard tanks in service is very large. If the United States and Russia want to rely on the number of tanks to defeat Germany, it is simply impossible.

"What about the Army Air Corps?" President Roosevelt asked.

The advanced fighter jets of the Luftwaffe also made the United States feel a huge threat.

"Your Excellency, the main fighter of the U.S. Army Air Corps is still the P-40 fighter, which is the fighter with the largest number of equipment. In addition, the P-47 fighter and the P-51 fighter have also begun mass production. However, The number is not too much. Next, our aircraft factory will stop producing P-40 fighters, and fully produce P-47 fighters and P-51 fighters. After participating in the war, we can have enough P-47 fighters and P-51 fighters. 51s against German ME-109s and FW-190s," Admiral Marshall said.

President Roosevelt nodded. Although the preparations for the US Army have not been completed, they are not the most urgent. If the U.S. Army wants to go into battle, it needs to wait until the Navy wins. Or, the US Navy loses and the US Army defends the homeland against the Germans!
