Chapter 203 Independent Regiment Quick Reaction Brigade

Ayers knocked on the table, motioned the two of them to stop messing around, and said, "Little Ogg, I'm asking you what do you think of the president's declaration of neutrality?"

"How else can I watch it? Let's just watch it helplessly on the Shanghai side!" Li Junhao said casually, then seeing the old man's face sinking, he immediately turned to say seriously: "I think it's not easy for Mr. Roosevelt. Faced with Those stupid guys in Congress can't explain anything, they can't even scold them, they want force... Well, that's not in line with the spirit of the Constitution, so we have to find another way...

"Mr. Ayers, think about it. The Neutrality Act of 1935 prohibited U.S. citizens from selling arms to belligerents in international wars, but it did not prohibit the trading of raw materials (such as steel and oil). Therefore, domestic capitalists could continue Selling steel and oil to the Japanese became an accomplice in their invasion of China; moreover, this indirectly led to Italy's invasion of Ethiopia - for raw materials and markets!
"The Neutrality Act Amendment, passed in February 1936, closed the loopholes in the 2 Neutrality Act and prohibited war raw materials and the granting of loans and accounts to belligerent countries.

"Two Neutrality Acts were passed in January and May of 1937 respectively in response to the Spanish Civil War, which was not covered by the Neutrality Act. The bills tightened the assistance of U.S. companies and individuals to the participating countries, and even prohibited American citizens from traveling on the participating countries' ships. The ship went abroad, but the commercial agreement that had been signed before was allowed to be completed, which meant that there was still a gap.

“On July 7 of the same year, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, and Japan fully invaded China...

"When China is in urgent need of urgently needed weapons and supplies, our businessmen cannot sell them to them legitimately; and because of the existence of previous contracts, our steel, oil, machine tools and other commodities are still continuously sold to Japan! Is this actually funding fascism?

"From this perspective, the domestic neutrality bill has greatly affected our country's international image...

"I think the next step that Mr. Roosevelt must first solve is to amend the bill again so that he can legitimately support countries fighting fascist aggression...

"Oh, yes, there is also military expansion! I guess Mr. Roosevelt will use presidential prerogatives to forcibly expand the military. Although the amount will not be too much, it can finally open a loophole in the congressional ban!"

After hearing his well-founded words, Ayers and Kelton looked at each other and nodded. A common thought arose in their hearts at the same time: This little guy needs to be forced, otherwise he won't tell the truth! ——
On September 9, news from the European battlefield showed that the Polish army was defeated by the German attack and retreated steadily...

The Polish government evacuated the capital Warsaw and moved to Lublin, the capital of the eastern Lublin province...

The German army marched straight in and quickly advanced into the hinterland of Poland.Forced to cross the Vistula and Narew rivers, and approach Warsaw from the south and north directions...

Like governments and military personnel from all over the world, people in the U.S. Consulate General, various military camps, Concession Industry Bureaus, Police Departments and other institutions in Shanghai were checking the latest battle reports and exchanging views on the course of the war.

Consul General Ayers, Attaché Kelton, Ambassador Johnson and Deputy Attaché Hobbs who were far away in Chongqing, etc., were lamenting Panson's foresight; in the United States, political, military, and economic aspects all Many people noticed this young officer who was in the Far East and could still accurately predict the start time of the war in Europe. Those who had been concerned about Pan Sen for a long time were extremely surprised and secretly increased their support.

For Li Junhao, the German-Polish War had already started on the established track, and the remaining results were known without looking at it. He did not focus on Europe at all, but accelerated his actions in Shanghai.
