Reynes was the first U.S. minister to China, and he reported the Japanese movements to China as soon as possible, and the instructions given by our president were to participate and help Huaxia speak, and at this time, during the official Republic of China, when Yuan Datou was in a hurry, the Americans suddenly intervened.
The United States, which originally pursued isolationism, suddenly took action and caught everyone off guard, especially the British side, this time they sided with Japan, hoping to pull their younger brother into World War I, but Britain also did not expect it, and Japan had no intention of sending troops, and they could not afford to send troops.
"Mr.
Reyns, I don't know what the United States wants" British Minister Juordian found an opportunity to meet Reyns alone.
"I don't know the specifics yet, this is a domestic order, and you know that if you want to know the specific things, I still need to wait for someone from the country to know."
Reyns really didn't know, but that's what the domestic order was.
Zhu Erdian is now a little puzzled, the actions of the United States are completely inconsistent with the past, and Britain has focused its energy on Europe in the past year, and now that the war has begun, there is no time to pay attention to the United States, the United States is just a second-rate military country, although they have money, but what kind of isolationism they pursue.
However, Zhu Erdian did not dare to be careless, now that the war has begun, both sides are courting allies, and it is unwise to offend the Americans at this time.
"Well, I hope that someone from your country can arrange for us to meet as soon as possible."
Zhu Erdian got up directly.
Reynes also thought about it after Zhu Erdian left, there must have been some changes in the country, but he didn't know much about it as a minister, and it was inconvenient for the two sides to communicate, but this time it was his chance.
Because he didn't pay attention to it, he rarely had a chance to perform as a minister, but now again, Reyns began to be full of confidence.
The United States is now expanding its army, but it is relatively secretive, first mobilizing troops to join the National Guard to join the regular army for training, and then the formation of 75 infantry divisions began to slowly improve, but there is a problem, there are too few officers.
In addition, there is a serious shortage of officers in the heavy artillery brigade, engineer brigade, cavalry brigade and other units, and many retired veterans have been requisitioned and reinstated, and a number of active soldiers have been promoted to become non-commissioned officers, and military academies have begun to speed up their courses.
These are the shortcomings of the United States during World War I and World War II, many lieutenant company commanders on the battlefield are not as good as those non-commissioned officers who were promoted in the course of fighting, and often have mental breakdowns, Wesley has no good way to do this, but to hurry up and watch, and at the same time remind Pershing that if such a situation is discovered, they will be dismissed directly on the battlefield.
You must know that the U.S. military is very important to military ranks, and battlefield changes must be ordered by the commander.
Wesley had seen the Brothers and Brothers, and there was this, and the troops that were being shelled still needed orders from the company commander, and Wesley preferred to trust the non-commissioned officers they were fighting on the front line.
A telegram transferred Wesley to Washington, D.C., to which Wesley was helpless, he couldn't get the plane now, why did he have to wait two years, otherwise he would be a real monster.
"Mr.
President, I don't know what's going on this time," Wesley asked, after all, the traffic was so bad right now.
"Mr.
Colonel, first of all, congratulations on your promotion, you are the fastest to be promoted."
The president said with a smile.
"Thank you, I have the ability to take on greater responsibility, but it needs to be proven."
Wesley said confidently.
"Very good, now the Huaxia side has unfolded according to your expectations, but our battleships still need time, what do you think about this?"
"It's very easy to do, I think our minister will solve this kind of thing, it's nothing more than delay, it's no problem to drag it out for a few months, then the battle in Europe will be clear, and the British will need a large number of supplies, they will never build colonies, so he can only order from us, I think the British will know how to choose."
"Then what about Japan, you said that they will not give up this opportunity, are we going to war with them, they have already joined the Entente, if we go to war with them, then it is equivalent to a war against the real Entente."
"You can think of it this way, if Japan goes to war with us, then the entire Entente will be pulled against the United States, you say" "Haha, very right choice, step up the production of battleships, and at the same time I want you to go there with your 1st Marine Brigade, and if we take over Qingdao, I want you to be the first governor."
Wesley was stunned, and asked him to go to the governor's office, he really wanted to go, after all, it was a good opportunity to go back and see, but he couldn't go, at least not now, after all, this war was a good time to increase his prestige, and the next time he could get more power, this time was what he wanted now.
"I'm sorry, Mr.
President, but my troops need to go to the European theater of war, not to maintain law and order."
Wesley said resolutely.
"That's what I expected."
The president was not surprised, now that Wesley has done so much, how can he give up the battlefield in Europe, "So who do you think we should send?"
"I don't think it's necessary to send too many troops, when the time comes, our fleet will go and have a walk, and then leave a detachment of fleets, and at the same time leave a Marine brigade, and I can immediately form a Marine Brigade out, where there are ready-made fortresses, and at the same time our new destroyers will fully take on the task of cruising, without worrying about being attacked, like the Russians."
"Understood, then you start to form, you discuss this matter with Pershing, form a few more Marine Brigades, and the officers will be directly separated from your first brigade."
Wesley smiled bitterly, now there is a shortage of officers everywhere, his first brigade finally has combat effectiveness, as long as it goes through a medium-sized battle, it can be formed into an army, and now it is necessary to divide a group of officers.
However, there is no way to do this, the Marine Brigade he established adopts new training methods, and its combat effectiveness is obvious to all, and ordinary people cannot command such a force, so Wesley can only agree.
General Pershing even waved his hand and directly formed five Marine Brigades, which was a total of six for Wesley, which was a cutter benefit, Wesley hurried back to the barracks to start forming, and at the same time used the funds in his hands to order a batch of troop carriers directly in his own shipyard.
The shipyard workers are now completely sufficient, all slipways can be started at the same time, and Wesley's shipyard has become the largest shipyard in the United States and the largest in the world, with more than 20 ships of different tonnages at the same time. t1706231537:
