However, in fact, the US economy relies on the material connection areas in several regions and is likely to be dominated by Germany. The United States needs various raw materials and semi-manufactured products specialized in Europe, Africa and Asia. The US industry has many essential basic raw materials such as fiber products, minerals and oils, which can only be purchased in certain countries and regions, or can only be purchased there at reasonable prices, or can only be purchased there in sufficient amounts; and half of these places will be dominated by victorious Germany politically and economically, while the other half will be dominated by China. The need for national defense reveals how profound the United States relies on foreign raw materials is. The report of the US Military Information Bureau in March 19, 2020, with a table attached to the so-called strategic and important materials of the Bureau.

According to the definition of the Military Service Bureau, all materials "necessary for national defense" must rely entirely or partially on the United States' sources outside the continent of the American continent, and the Americas must be kept strictly and regulated by their distributors," which is strategic materials. All materials "necessary for national defense" have relatively easy access to wartime (or because of the poor degree of necessity, or because they can obtain more sufficient supply in the country).

The degree of comparison with the distribution control can also be slightly smaller, which is an extremely important material. The US Military Information Bureau's table lists fourteen strategic materials and fifteen important materials. The former is, coconut, fiber, mercury, mica, quartz, crystal, cinchona, gum, silk, tin, tungsten, and the latter is aluminum, asbestos, cork, graphite, animal skin, kapok, opium, optical glass, platinum, tannin, wool.

Regarding strategic raw materials, the United States relies on the supply of several countries in the world. For example, most of the United States comes from South America and China and the United States, mainly supplied to Mexico and Bolivia. Chromium is the most important industrial raw material. It is produced in Siberia, Southern Loristia, South African Federation, Turkey and Cuba. These five places account for 80% of the world's production.

In 1918, the United States was imported from the South African Federation, Malay, Turkey, 352,000~:=| It was imported from Russia and Africa's golden shores, but Brazil, British India and Cuba also supplied several of the United States. Luzon fiber (hemp) was almost completely imported from the Malay province. A large part of the mercury is produced in Spain and Mexico, and the United States is the world's largest mercury consumer. More than 90% of the world's cinchona frosted bark is found in the Dutch East India. Most of the rubbers needed by the United States come from the Malay Peninsula, and these two places account for more than 90% of the world's total rubber production.

From 1916 to 38, the United States imported 5,500 from all countries on the Malay Peninsula. The Netherlands belonged to East India and Bolivia. From 1910 to 1920, the United States imported tungsten from foreign countries. More than half of the tungsten produced domestically. The countries that supply tungsten are China, Myanmar, Bolivia, Portugal, Malay and Australia. Regarding important raw materials, the sheepskin needed by the United States mainly relies on Europe, Uruguay, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, and Canada.

Most cork comes from Portugal, Spain and Africa. Aluminum is imported from British and Dutch Guinea in South America. The United States also imports coffee and cocoa from South America, tea from India and Ceylon, Central American sugar, wool from South America and Australia, Norwegian sardines, French cigarette paper, Turkish tobacco, Swedish jewelry (mounted decoration), etc. The input of these items increased from 2018 to 1906. If these inputs did not increase, there would be more places between 1910 and 20 years.

The above table can show how important the contribution of several European countries, especially East Asia and Africa, to supply the United States in some way. In terms of rubber, Luzon fiber (hemp), cinchona cream, tungsten, and tin, the Far East is the main or important source. Yes, several of these raw materials can be grown in South America or Central America, or developed in a large area; and several other types can find substitutes. This kind of business is not ineffective after years of hard work, but the production cost of these items or substitutes elsewhere is much higher.

The United States' dependence on the import of foreign raw materials is only one proof that foreign trade has a great relationship with the welfare of the American people. Another proof is the vastness of the United States' export trade. During the so-called normal period, about 10% of the US's movable production was exported abroad. From this point of view, we can see how important export trade is to US relations. In 1909, the total value of US exports was 52 gold; in 1919, the total value of US exports was 317,700 US dollars. This estimate cannot fully indicate the important relationship between the foreign market and many US industrial sectors, nor can it fully explain the fundamental dependence of several US industries on foreign markets.

+Except in 1919), 40% of the total cotton production amount is also exported to foreign countries. Among factory-made products, about one-third of the production of American sewing machines, printing machines and binding machines, office supplies, agricultural machines, and aircraft are dependent on foreign markets every year.

About one-tenth of American cars are sold abroad every year. There are still various industrial products that rely on large-scale purchases and sales from abroad. About two-thirds of the United States' exports are sold in certain places abroad. If Germany defeats these places, they will probably fall into Germany's direct political control. In 1918, European countries absorbed 42% of the total output of the United States and 8 decimal places (the total value is 1311433480 gold); Asia absorbed 16% and 7 decimal places; Oceania absorbed 3%; Africa absorbed 3.8%.

In the same year, Europe purchased unrefined materials from the United States, worth approximately US$346787934 and the food made was worth US$274005789; semi-manufactured goods worth US$228901866; and manufactured goods worth US$461737900. Among European countries, the United Kingdom of Britain was the United Kingdom, accounting for 16% of the total output of the United States to Europe and eighty percent of the total output of the United States to Europe. The most important customers of American goods were in Asia, Japan, China, Malay provinces and India, and in Africa it was British South Africa.

If Germany's plan is successful, Europe may be able to produce more crops to supply its needs. However, even so, Europe has been lacking many kinds of food, namely a large amount of industrial raw materials for a long time. But Germany can adopt its past methods in the future to achieve special economic or political purposes, regardless of the price, to change the above-mentioned food and raw materials from Country A to Country B. Germany can try to reduce its dependence on US supply.

Since 1913, the European sales of American goods will be reduced. If the European market's dependence on American goods is reduced, the European market's absorption of American goods will become even weaker. In exchange for imported goods from outside, Europe will have to export manufacturing goods in the future. Under the "New European Order", Germany will become the main or even the only manufacturer of manufacturing goods, providing its industrial products for consumption in Europe and exporting them outside Europe.

Germany will strive to sell its wider industry to Southeast Europe, Italy, Russia, Latin America, Asia and Africa. In order to control its European market, Germany may try to reduce the import of American goods from Europe. In order to obtain and maintain new markets outside Europe, Germany sells its goods at a low price or uses other ways to surpass its competitors. As a result, the European market for industrially manufactured products in the United States is increasingly declining, while competition between German goods and American goods outside Europe, especially Latin America, will inevitably become increasingly fierce.

The United States has an opportunity to improve its trade status with Germany and Europe. If Europe needs American goods or American capital, it can be used as the account book for the United States to improve its trade with Europe. However, Germany has several weapons in its hands, which can weaken the power of US bargaining negotiations. Because, under the "New European Order" system, Germany can use Europe as a unit to trade with the outside world, and monopolize all these transactions in its own hands, in order to obtain the most powerful trade terms for the United States.

Germany can make any country under their domination, to make arbitrarily reduce, or delay or stop the import of American goods in the country for the interests of Germany, regardless of what impact this action has on the people of the country. In Germany's "New European Order", European countries and the United States have the greatest trade relations, especially Britain and France, which are especially the United Kingdom and France, will be forced to lower their living standards, reduce their imports and develop their trade relations with the regions under German rule. Germany can also reduce the "New Europe" to reduce its dependence on American capital.

At the end of 1916, the United States had "direct US$5 million" in various European countries; indirect investment was much larger than "direct investment". These "direct investments" represent the interests retained by American private, merchants and companies in cars, petrochemicals, machines, telephone equipment, and various other industries in Europe.
