Although President Woodrow Wilson is still obsessed with world hegemony. But in the face of Germany''s powerful military power, he still had to endure temporarily, and could only watch Germany win the war. Watching Germany step on the old powers such as Britain and France and be the new world hegemon.


    "Gentlemen, from this war and the final result of the war, I think we should reflect on many aspects. Before, we have always paid attention to the development of industry and economy. We have neglected the construction of military strength. Now, our The industrial output value has be the number one in the world. However, our military power is not even ranked among the top five in the world. Such an extremely unbnced development has caused a great impact on the improvement of the international status andprehensive strength of the American Republic. Therefore, I think that from now on, the American Republic needs to strengthen its military strength. Not only the navy, but the army also needs to be strengthened." President Woodrow Wilson said.


    In this era, the importance of a country''s military power is beyond doubt. If the United States had a strong military force before the outbreak of this world war, they would not be reduced to spectators, and would definitely join it. In that case, they will be able to share enough benefits from it.


    A group of cab ministers of the US government nodded their heads one after another. They also urgently hope that the United States can have a strong military power.


    Navy Secretary Daniels and Secretary of War Garrison both expressed support for this. For a long time, the military power of the United States has been too weak, so that they have little say in the cab. Especially when there are no powerful countries around the United States, there is no need for the United States to maintain a strong army. This naturally made Garrison, the Minister of War, very powerless.


    "Your Excellency, we should build a powerful navy so that we can ensure control of the Americas. Before the war broke out, capital from Germany was frantically entering South America. For the Republic of America, it is absolutely It is a threat. Once the Germans win this world war, they will definitely intensify their struggle with the Republic in South America. Without the support of a powerful navy, we will have no way to confront the Germans in South America. "Commerce Secretary Redfield reminded.


    Woodrow? President Wilson nodded, he also felt the difficulty of this problem.


    "Gentlemen, I don''t need to say more about the importance of South America to us. If South America is lost, it will be a huge blow to the American Republic. Therefore, we must not lose South America." Woodrow Wilson said the president.


    As the world''srgest industrial output power, so many industrial products produced by the United States naturally need to be sold. If it cannot be sold, the industry in the United States will be greatly affected, which is very detrimental to the entire United States. Almost all countries in South America are weak countries. Because of the geographical advantage, it is regarded by the United States as their natural raw material origin and market. The importance of this ce to the United States is naturally self-evident.


    "Your Excellency, the Navy is already building new warships. However, in view of the current emergency situation, I think we need to speed up the progress. We will strive to build a powerful navy within three years." Minister Daniels said.


    "Your Excellency, the Army intends to increase the current standing army from 100,000 to 200,000. The next step is to increase it to 500,000. It will also strengthen training and equip more advanced weapons, so that the Army''sbat effectiveness will be improved. The gap in the German Army." Minister Garrison also said. Compared with the poption of the United States, the strength of the US Army is very small.


    President Woodrow Wilson nodded. Both the navy and the army need to be strengthened, that is for sure. Although, this requires a lot of money. But in terms of funds, the United States does notck. They are rich and powerful enough to support the improvement of the strength of the navy and army.


    At this moment, Secretary of State Brian finally arrived.


    "Sorry, gentlemen, I''mte." Brian said with a smile on his face.


    "Please take a seat, Mr. Bryan. However, our meeting is almost over. At this meeting, we believe that in view of the German Navy winning the decisive battle at sea, Germany won the final victory of the war, almost There is no doubt about it. Therefore, in order not to overly irritate the Germans, we n to strictly maintain neutrality for the next period of time and absolutely not get involved in the war." President Woodrow Wilson said.


    Brian nodded: "Your Excellency, I agree in principle. After all, offending a country that is about to be a hegemon will be very disadvantageous. However, Your Excellency, I have a situation that I must inform you .”


    "What''s the situation?" President Woodrow Wilson asked.


    "Just now, I met with the British ambassador to the United States. The British ambassador to the United States informed us that the British Secretary of the Navy Churchill will pay a secret visit to our country. It is estimated that he will arrive in three days." Bryan said.


    "What? The British Secretary of the Navy is going to pay us a secret visit? What are they trying to do?" President Woodrow Wilson couldn''t help frowning. He was a little uncertain about what the British were nning to do.


    Other cab ministers were also talking about it.


    "Your Excellency, could it be that the British still want to seek support from us now, or even want to draw us into the war?" Vice President Marshall said.


    "We are not fools. When the situation of the war is already clear, how could we join in and make chestnuts for the British." President Wilson shook his head.


    A group of people thought about it for a long time, and they all believed that under such circumstances, the British shoulde to them for support and help. However, from the standpoint of the United States, they are definitely unwilling to get involved at this time. After all, even if the United States wants to join the side, it will also want to join the victor''s side. That way, they can share the fruits of victory instead of putting themselves in it.


    "Okay, since we can''t guess, let''s wait until Churchilles to talk about everything! Anyway, this time we are ready to strictly observe neutrality, no matter what, it will not change!" President Wilson said.
