Chapter 776 A Different Battlefield

Roosevelt's self-torture was very simple.

With the help of Chinese intelligence personnel, Roosevelt discovered that the island nation was actually thinking of attacking Pearl Harbor without declaring war!

However, knowing that the island nation was going to attack Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt did not make any big moves in order to teach those disobedient congressmen a very profound lesson.

Of course, Roosevelt was a politician who knew the importance of things.

Under his secret arrangement, before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, some equipment and personnel in Pearl Harbor were transferred.

Most of the new advanced warships left, leaving only some old and old warships in Pearl Harbor.

At the same time, most of the elite soldiers were far away from Pearl Harbor, and some old and weak soldiers remained.

That's not all. In order to make the Japanese succeed, Roosevelt also disbanded the air defense of the Pearl Harbor fleet.

In this way, with the cooperation of Roosevelt, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese successfully carried out the Pearl Harbor raid, and the island nation achieved "great glory"!

That's not all. After the victory of the sneak attack, the island nation took the initiative to declare war on the United States!

Naturally, after discovering that the island nation dared to attack the territory of the United States, the congressmen who opposed the war were all in a state of confusion.

While they were dumbfounded, they were more angry than each other.

And Roosevelt also jumped out at the right time. The next day, Roosevelt delivered his famous "National Humiliation" speech and designated December 7 of each year as the National Humiliation Day.

Subsequently, Roosevelt signed a formal declaration of war against the island nation.

So, on September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland, two years after the official start of World War II, and the United States also joined the war.

In this way, the longest, largest and most devastating world war in human history intensified.

From the full outbreak in 1939 to the unconditional surrender of Germany, Italy and Japan in 1945, more than 60 countries, accounting for 80% of the world's population, were involved in the war.

In total, nearly 100 million soldiers and civilians died, and thousands of years of human civilization were also devastated.

In fact, World War II was the result of the deepening of the contradictions and crises between the emerging powers of Germany, Italy and Japan and the old powers.

In order to dominate the world, the emerging powers Germany, Italy and Japan launched an aggressive war.

However, in the end, the Allies won.

It must be mentioned that there are two uncertain factors in World War II.

These two factors, one is the island countries, and the other is the United States.

If the island countries had not been so greedy and launched the Pacific War, that is, to seize the interests of the United States, the course of the war would definitely be very different from history.

The United States believes in isolationism, that is, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and is willing to do business with both sides of the war.

In this way, other powers have been weakened by the war.

After the war, if there are no accidents, the United States will also sit firmly in the position of the world leader.

In other words, if the island countries do not take the initiative to stroke the tiger's whiskers, the United States will not participate in the war at all!

If the United States does not participate in the war, the problem will come.

There is no doubt that China, the Soviet Union, Britain and France will all suffer a miserable defeat!

In fact, Germany's single challenge to Britain and France can be regarded as an adventurous act.

In terms of weapons and equipment and total force, the weapons and equipment levels of both sides are comparable, and the total force is similar.

Even the British and French coalition forces had many advantages.

In terms of air force, Germany did have an advantage.

However, in terms of sea control, the British and French coalition forces had an absolute advantage.

That's not all. In terms of the number of heavy weapons equipped by the army, Germany was not as good as the British and French coalition forces.

Most importantly, in terms of weapon production, Britain and France were also stronger than Germany.

However, because of serious mistakes in strategies and tactics such as the Maginot Line, the British and French coalition forces were slaughtered by the German army.

Relying on advanced tactics such as blitzkrieg, the German army defeated the British and French coalition forces.

As a result, the French government was forced to surrender.

And relying on the strong advantage of the navy, the British army was forced to retreat to the British Isles.

It must be said that although the British army retreated to the isolated island and completely lost the ability to counterattack, the German army had no way to deal with Britain.

The reason is very simple. Relying on the foundation of an old maritime power, Britain has always firmly controlled the sea control and prevented the German army from landing.

If the United States had not joined the war in time, according to German science and technology, it would definitely have developed an atomic bomb.

Under the devastation of the atomic bomb, Britain would also surrender like France.

It is a pity that the British and French coalition forces lost to Germany.

In fact, in the early stage of World War II, Russia was also beaten to a pulp by Germany, which is even more regrettable.

In terms of total military strength, tanks, artillery, and aircraft, Russia has a crushing advantage over Germany.

To be precise, in these aspects, Russia is more than ten times that of Germany!

Yes, Russia is like the United States, because of its strong national strength and full confidence, it likes to play carpet bombing at the slightest disagreement.

Taking tank production as an example, Russia's production capacity is almost seven times that of Germany!

It must be mentioned that Russia is also much stricter than Germany in terms of supervising the war.

In any army of Russia, instructors, political commissars, etc. have great power.

Whenever they find any soldier who is afraid of fighting or even wants to be a deserter, these people can shoot them.

They have absolute advantages in all aspects, but Russia has no war preparations under the tricks of Germany.

That's not all, because the Russians often carried out various movements, and countless generals with strong command capabilities were purged.

Therefore, under the German blitzkrieg, the Russians lost a large area of ​​land at an astonishing speed.

Naturally, countless Russian soldiers were killed or captured.

Countless planes, cannons, tanks, etc. became German trophies.

The key point is that these soldiers who died in the war were well-trained elites.

Other soldiers who were urgently mobilized were very good at political movements, but they were mostly laymen in combat.

In this way, the German army advanced by leaps and bounds, while the Russians were repeatedly beaten passively.

If the United States had not joined the war, the first country to suffer an atomic bomb attack would probably not be an island country, let alone Britain, but the Russians!

In fact, Ye Tian has always had a feeling.

In the history of the War of Resistance, although China suffered particularly heavy losses, which were unbearable, China's ambition to resist the war was worth writing about.

Although China has more soldiers than the island countries, it is limited to active soldiers.

At that time, China did not have the concept of reserve forces.

On the other hand, the island countries, in addition to the well-trained active devils, also have 4 million reserve soldiers.

In addition, the number of aircraft and artillery is more than ten times that of China.

That's not all. If China loses a heavy weapon, it will lose one and cannot be produced again.

If you want to replenish it, you have to spend a lot of money to buy it from abroad.

After the Meiji Restoration, the production capacity of the island countries is definitely not weaker than that of European and American powers.

The most important thing is that in terms of the total tonnage of naval warships, the island countries are nearly 300 times that of China!

It is precisely because of this obvious advantage that when the island countries actively provoke a full-scale war, their slogan is so arrogant:

Destroy China within three months!
