Six Hundred and Sixteenth, Waiting for a Miracle
"Mr. President! Mr. President!" A staff officer rushed to Roosevelt who was being pushed by his servants in the corridor of the White House. The officer held a document between his hands and made two steps in three steps, seemingly eager to tell his president the news.
"News from the front?" Roosevelt was sitting in a wheelchair, and he didn't know whether he was looking forward to or fearing the sudden scene. He was also a normal person. Except for his inconvenient legs, he was even hundreds of times better than ordinary people. But he is still afraid, because what he bears now seems to be heavier than the shoulders of the first US President Washington.
He didn't dare to imagine a series of problems after his fleet was defeated. Although these problems needed to be dealt with by people, as Roosevelt who loved the United States deeply, he never thought about what he would look like when facing the defeat of the United States. Sometimes he even thought of Churchill, who he had dealt with, and felt that the former Prime Minister of the British Empire made the right choice to commit suicide. No one wants to face failure, especially when the failure affects the future of 100 million people.
"Yes! Your Excellency! News from the front! Good news!" The officer was so excited that he almost didn't know what he was talking about. He felt that the news in his arms was no different from victory. For half a month, no news has been so encouraging.
good news? Roosevelt finally had the courage to pick up the telegram from the front, and looked through it carefully. The message was very simple, with only one sentence: "We can fight!" But this sentence made Roosevelt almost jump out of his wheelchair with joy. This was the most exciting news he had heard in three months.
The F4F fighter jets of the U.S. Navy could not become the opponents of the Zero fighter jets of the Japanese Naval Air Force, so the U.S. Navy urgently improved a batch of Army Aviation P-40 fighter jets as the decisive weapons of the U.S. Navy. This aircraft has an independent model code f40 fighter in the U.S. Navy, but because Nimitz is grateful for the support of the Army Aviation, everyone still kindly calls this carrier-based Army Aviation fighter p-40.
This improved Army Aviation aircraft gave the U.S. Navy the strength of World War I, and the new tactics and the intelligence provided by the Germans also allowed the U.S. Navy to regain its place. In the skies over the waters near Pearl Harbor, American fighter jets were finally able to fight on an equal footing with the fighter jets of the Japanese Air Force.
"God bless America! We have finally brought back the disadvantage!" Roosevelt really wanted to go to church once, hold Jesus' toes and kiss a few times. At this time, he seemed to see the dawn of victory in his heart, and also saw the moment when the United States became the hegemon of the world. As long as the United States wins the battle for Oahu, it will be able to persist for at least a few more months. This period of time is enough for the United States to relax and revive its superior industrial production capacity. Once the United States' warship manufacturing speed meets the needs, defeating Japan is nothing more than a piece of cake.
Roosevelt let go of the big stone in his heart and regained his former calmness. He suddenly thought that what he should thank was not God who never showed up, but Germany, who was far away on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and turned his hands into clouds and rain on the European continent. Arkado Rudolph, head of the Third Reich.
This head of state arranged everything strangely. It seems that the United States and Japan have been controlled by this god-like head of state recently, and their every move seems to be carried out according to Akado's will.
The American intelligence agency also has its own forces in the United States. After sorting out the intelligence before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Americans discovered that the Germans and the Japanese had in-depth cooperation in the research and development of fighter jets, but at the same time the Germans exported themselves. The super fighter me- was sold to China, which made American intelligence personnel a little puzzled.
And China's intelligence leader Dai Li once hinted at the American ally that the Germans hoped that the Squadron would shrink its forces on Battlefield 4, and pointed out that this would allow Japan to be involved in the Pacific War to reduce the frontal pressure on the Squadron. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek partially adopted this Suggestion, and the Japanese also attacked the United States in accordance with the deduction of the Germans.
Just a month ago, when the German expeditionary fleet passed through Argentina, it took the initiative to contact the local American forces, and the final result of this inexplicable contact was that the United States used 2 million U.S. dollars in cash to "pick up" a share Intelligence on the capabilities of Japanese fighter jets. Judging from the current results, this information was given to the United States for free by the Germans, because in terms of real value, this information will definitely exceed 2 billion US dollars or more.
The Germans are using their influence to control the distant Pacific battlefield, at least using all the resources in their hands to determine the course of the American Pacific battlefield. Thinking of this, Roosevelt suddenly felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead. If all this is going on according to the needs of the Germans, will Germany become the new hegemon of the world when the United States finally wins?
Just yesterday, just a few hours ago, the United States Congress did not even believe that it could win the war. Some members of Congress have discussed the outcome of the war in private. Many people think that once Hawaii is fully occupied by Japan, the United States should seek peace with Japan, based on the betrayal of China's interests, in exchange for an armistice peace agreement with the Japanese.
Americans are not ready for war! Our military has been retreating and will continue to retreat for the foreseeable future! These arguments have caused wavering emotions among high-level US officials, and some people even think that the original sanctions against Japan were a mistake. At such a moment when the United States would withdraw from the war at any time, the Germans sent a piece of intelligence that could change the course of the war—if this was not premeditated, how could there be such a coincidence?
"The Germans hope that both the United States and Japan will suffer!" Roosevelt muttered, and then he understood many things from this perspective: Germany hoped that Japan would declare war on the United States, but it was unwilling that Japan would declare war on the United States prematurely. China, let Japan fall into the quagmire of war and cannot be distracted; but later Germany found that China's combat power was a bit too much, so it had to come forward to persuade China to pull the United States into the water; now that the Pacific War broke out, Germany did not want the United States to be out of the game prematurely, so it started again Aid America's deeds.
This is really a shameless face that fears the world will not be chaotic. Roosevelt really wanted to arrest Accardo and bombard him with a 155mm cannon for 20 minutes before he could relieve the inexplicable resentment in his heart. The Germans hope that the United States and Japan will shed the last drop of blood, and their intentions are really vicious!
When he secretly scolded Germany for being shameless, Roosevelt didn't realize what he should have at all. It never occurred to him that the Americans secretly helped the Soviet Union launch the Soviet-German War, and now the artillery is still rumbling on the Eastern Front in Europe. In fact, it is no different from the Germans secretly intervening in the Pacific battlefield. Everyone is a crow standing on the coal pile, and no one should say who is black. There are many cases of stabbing each other in the back and dismantling each other in the world. It's just that in peaceful times, everyone is more subtle and measured. Now the gameplay is actually the same, but it's more naked and more unscrupulous.
"Hold a meeting! Get all my staff! We have to think about how to deal with the Germans. After all, we didn't participate in the war for world peace. Our post-war interests of the United States must be guaranteed! "Roosevelt, as the president of the United States, is not the peace ambassador in the propaganda. He doesn't care about the suffering of the British people or the suffering of the Asian people. What he cares about is the future of the United States, and whether the United States can survive in this world war. , to the position of world hegemony.
If it weren't for the fact that Germany's espionage activities in the Balkans were too thorough, and if it weren't for the German air defense forces deployed in Romania to be outrageously powerful, the Americans would have sent their own b-17 bombers to take down the vital Romanian oil fields in one go. It was blown into ruins! The reason why there is no action so far is that the 3 b-17 planes without any identification information have never returned on their way to Romania, not that the United States has not declared war on Germany!
As early as the second day after the German airborne troops occupied Malta, 40 B-17 bombers of the United States painted the logo of the Royal Air Force and bombed various facilities on the island of Malta. If it weren't for the completion of the German radar station on the island of Malta and the deployment of a powerful air force, the American bombing would probably continue.
The United States is not a good person, and of course Germany is not a good person either, but when they scold others for being shameless, despicable and insidious, everyone forgets that they are doing the same shameless, despicable, indecent and insidious thing. This is the relationship between countries. To put it bluntly, it is actually the most basic intrigue.
The servant pushed Roosevelt into the conference room and went to help Roosevelt find his important staff. So another emergency meeting was held in the conference room. In the past three months, such meetings have been held here almost every day. One order after another was issued after the meeting, deciding the life and death of tens of thousands of Americans. .
The words "We can fight" quickly spread from the White House to all directions. The American beggars temporarily lost their market. Everyone is waiting, patiently waiting for the news of the battle in the Pacific. Once the result comes, the next move will be determined will follow in full swing.
But even the beggars are in a very good mood at this time. The better the United States fights, the less the United States will pay after the peace talks. This is the result that every high-level American is willing to see. Everyone is looking forward to, looking forward to the miracle that Nimitz can bring to the United States.
