In this case, he had to think carefully about the other party’s proposal.

President Roosevelt thought for a while, and then asked:”So, my general, how long do you think it will take to train a strong army that can compete with the German army?”

When Roosevelt spoke, he stared straight into the other party’s eyes. This question was very important. Similarly, General Pershing’s answer was also very important, because it was basically a military order.

Since it is a military order, you can’t talk casually. If you say it, you have to be responsible!

General Pershing certainly understood this truth, so he thought about it carefully, and then replied:”If there is enough time, it would be the best, but I don’t think the enemy will give us so much time, so, in my opinion, we need at least half a year!”

Half a year is the time he spent to transform the US military during World War I.

Compared to World War I, the army composition during World War II was more complex. In addition to the arms of World War I, tanks, armored vehicles, mechanized infantry, motorized infantry and other arms were added, and it also involved air-to-ground coordination with the Air Force.

This made the war more complicated. It would naturally take longer to master this series of skills!

So in his opinion, half a year is the most basic requirement. If this were not a war, if the US military was not facing such an unfavorable situation, he would definitely ask for more time!

After hearing what Admiral Pershing said, President Roosevelt shook his head slightly:”I’m sorry, General, the German army will not give us so much time. Half a year is enough for them to push North America and destroy us all, so please forgive me for not being able to give you so much time to train the army. You must use time to train a strong army that has the ability to fight the enemy!”

“Then please buy me at least a month!” Admiral

Pershing took a step back, but still insisted.

If the time is too short, he may not be able to complete the transformation of the army. After all, he is not an omnipotent god, he is just a mortal.

President Roosevelt tapped his hands on the table gently, thinking about Admiral Pershing’s request.

To be honest, four months is still too long. He cannot guarantee that he can buy the other party such a long time, unless the German army maintains the current state during this period and does not launch a large-scale attack on them.

However, the possibility of this situation is very low, basically non-existent!

The German army is not stupid, how can they watch them accumulate strength and transform the army without doing anything?

If left alone, once the strength of the US military has really been greatly improved, wouldn’t it be like shooting themselves in the foot? ?

However, he did have some cards to play.

Although the German army was advancing rapidly on the front battlefield, giving people a feeling of being invincible.

Many people in the Eagle Sauce were frightened by the terrible offensive of the German army. Most of those who felt that the German army could not win and were pessimistic about the prospects of the war were those who were frustrated on the front battlefield.

After all, the comparison of the military strength of the two sides was indeed despairing. Not to mention other people, even President Roosevelt himself almost despaired!

Fortunately, he adjusted back in time and did not let this emotion continue!

However, the repeated defeats on the front battlefield made him realize one thing: if you want to defeat the German army, you can’t pin your hopes on the U.S. military on the front battlefield.
