Chapter 1057： Roosevelt wants to run

Historically, when Roosevelt ran for president for the third time, the United States had not yet entered the war. The isolationism and wait-and-see mood in the United States was still very strong. Now, it is completely different. The United States has been completely involved in the war. in!

During the war, everything must be kept simple. The presidential campaign is a very complicated process, which consumes money and at the same time. The US president should not waste time in this aspect. There is not much time left for the United States!

"Even, I think that our presidential election can simplify the plan. We want to win the war. We cannot waste our limited energy on such meaningless and valueless activities. President Roosevelt is the most suitable for us in the United States. President, what do you think?" Lister said to the people below.

Suddenly, many people are nodding their heads, which makes sense!

Roosevelt took the United States out of the predicament of the economic crisis. After that, Roosevelt took the United States and grew stronger step by step. Before the island country invaded, Roosevelt was aware of the coming of war and made preparations in advance, but the domestic isolationism was too great. It's thick, and Roosevelt can't let go of his hands and feet.

The attack on Pearl Harbor fully proved Roosevelt's foresight, and Roosevelt was the most suitable president of the United States!

But how can the convention left by President Washington be broken?

Roosevelt did not attend this meeting. For him, staying outside was the best choice. Just like the ancient China, he added his yellow robe to his body. It was a taboo, and he had to subordinate and persuade again and again. Only when the destiny belongs, will they have to accept it.

Roosevelt did not attend, but his wife, Eleanor, arrived in the noisy meeting place just in time.

Looking at the people present, Eleanor showed the style of the first lady. Her eyes were very moving, as if she could speak, her voice was so soft, but not lacking in reason.

"1940 is not a normal period, but a special period of war. Except for the question of what we can do for the interests of the whole country, we should not quarrel about any other issues."

"Franklin did not have any ideas to break the convention, but I firmly believe that everyone present is sensible and hopes to elect a president who is most suitable for our United States and can lead the United States to victory. I firmly believe that Franklin is that one. People, in his heart, have always firmly believed that the United States will win and that Germany and the island countries will be the ultimate losers. He has been working hard for this."

Eleanor's words finally infected everyone present. The internal voting of the Democratic Party finally decided to nominate Roosevelt as the next presidential candidate.

At this time, Roosevelt was inspecting the Newport News Shipyard. He is still the current President of the United States and is responsible for the interests of the United States.

The United States needs a lot of aircraft carriers! Although Roosevelt was not a soldier, he also keenly foreseeed that the combination of aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft would definitely change future maritime warfare.

For example, if the islanders did not have an aircraft carrier, they would never succeed in attacking Pearl Harbor!

But now, if it wants to regain control of the Pacific, the United States needs to maximize its industrial production capacity and build a large number of aircraft carriers!

However, even if the United States is wealthy, it cannot afford hundreds of aircraft carriers. In this way, an affordable **** aircraft carrier is a better choice for the US Navy.

The **** aircraft carrier is distinguished from the fleet aircraft carrier. The fleet aircraft carrier is the navy's main aircraft carrier. It has a large displacement and a large number of aircraft. It is built completely in accordance with military standards and is the main force of naval aviation in naval and air wars.

The biggest feature of an **** aircraft carrier is its small size, which is mainly used to **** merchant ships. They are generally deployed in front of the transport fleet, using carrier-based aircraft to detect and attack submarines, or guide surface ships to attack. It can also conduct shore attacks, but generally does not participate in direct combat against the enemy fleet.

These characteristics of the **** aircraft carrier determine that its cost is very low, and it can be mass-produced in an assembly line. Therefore, Roosevelt has always emphasized the need to develop **** aircraft carriers in large numbers.

As a result, many shipyards responded quickly. The most violent response was Newport News Shipyard. They claimed that they had built more than 30 **** aircraft carriers and had rich experience. If you give it to them, you can build one in two or three months!

This speed of construction made Roosevelt very satisfied, so he came to the shipyard on this day to inspect.

Accompanying Roosevelt was General Nimitz, commander of the Pacific Navy.

Last year, Roosevelt realized the possible dangers in the Pacific, so Roosevelt ordered the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Fleet James Richardson to move the fleet from the West Coast to Hawaii to deter Japan, but the general was due to safety reasons. Disagrees with the president’s views with the lack of resources in the district, nor does it increase security awareness.

So After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt dismissed him and chose Nimitz when looking for his successor. This 50-year-old navy veteran was the most suitable candidate in Roosevelt's eyes. .

However, Nimitz refused on the grounds of his "insufficient qualifications." The position was succeeded by his good friend Hasben Kimmel. After the Pearl Harbor incident, Nimitz was appointed to the command of the Pacific Fleet. .

The situation in the Pacific Ocean is very dangerous, and Nimitz also has concerns, especially the number of aircraft carriers in the fleet is too small and the construction period of new aircraft carriers is too long. How to have combat effectiveness is an urgent problem to be solved.

When the group came to the shipyard, they met the head of the shipyard, Walter, who was full of confidence at this time.

"Why do you have more than 30 **** aircraft carrier construction experience? The Navy shouldn't have placed an order at the Newport News Shipyard, right?" Nimitz immediately asked when he saw Walter.

"Yes, we have never placed an order, but we have previously accepted an order contract for a new-style container ship from Germany. We have produced more than 30 vessels using an assembly line method, which is fast and low-cost, and their type of container The ship, and the **** carrier we need, are of the same level."

With that said, Walter led everyone to the meeting room. Nimitz just glanced at the unfolded design drawings and knew that Walter was right. The 148-meter cargo ship has a flat deck at the top, the ship island is arranged on the right side, there is a lift on the side, and a hangar below. This thing, where is a container ship, is clearly an aircraft carrier! Moreover, the motivation is good, reaching 18 knots!

"When the shipyard was in production, didn't you know that this was an **** carrier?" Roosevelt's dissatisfied voice came. ()
