Chapter 476 The Three Grave Diggers

"I thought about it all night yesterday. I think it is also advisable for the Japanese to contain some American and British forces in Asia. At least this is a good thing for us."

Goebbels and Himmler, who were looking at each other, couldn't figure out what the Führer, whose face turned faster than turning the page in a book, meant now. Hermann Meyer, whose belly was big enough to punt a boat, was sitting on a chair like a sculpture of Maitreya Buddha. Without saying a word, he looked like a dead mother.

Ribbentrop, who had some issues with Marshal Meyer and Dr. Goebbels, stood still and went offline. He really didn't want to interact with Marshal Meyer and Goebbels who called him a dirty champagne dealer and a fraud. Dr. Er quarreled on the spot.

He didn't feel the slightest displeasure at the silence of everyone in front of him. Hitler, who often spoke alone, was used to this feeling of dominance.

"The time chosen by the Japanese to participate in the exhibition is actually the right time! The unexpected difficulties in the Soviet Union's cold winter put our army under very serious pressure. This is a critical moment when the Germans are very worried that the United States will join the war at any time!"

"So from our standpoint, Japan's choice to join the war at this time couldn't be more timely! At least allowing the United States to passively participate in the war will cost them a heavy price. The Japanese have proven this with actual actions! If the United States is allowed to participate in the war like If you actively choose the time to join the war like in a war, it will be detrimental to us! "

Shocked that Hitler's face changed faster than turning the page of a book, even Marshal Meyer, who had been sitting quietly and acting stupid, opened his eyes in surprise, with an expression of disbelief and surprise in his eyes.

But at this point, Germany, which had no choice but to declare war on the United States, finally had no choice but to continue moving forward along the route planned by Hitler.

So, on December 11, Ribbentrop officially announced Germany's declaration of war on the United States after receiving Hitler's instructions.

Compared with Hitler, who was so angry that he almost smashed his office when he heard the news, Italian dictator Mussolini was much more unbearable when he heard the news that Japan had successfully attacked Pearl Harbor.

"It's over now. What are the Japanese thinking in their heads?"

Immediately after receiving the news, Mussolini's first words were to be frightened of his son-in-law, Foreign Minister Ciano.

All the core Italian political officials, including Ciano, were infected by Mussolini's panic and panicked. Everyone knew clearly how huge the war potential of the United States was, and they also did not understand what the Japanese were doing. It was because of some stimulation in his head that he chose to actively attack the United States.

Mussolini, who did not want to eat or drink, spent the whole day wandering around in his office and garden like a headless fly.

He called his handsome son-in-law Ciano to discuss the solution over and over again. When he walked to the garden, Mussolini, who was a little flustered, asked again.

"What would we do if those Americans attacked Europe? Do you think Hitler and his army could withstand the Americans?"

Mussolini, who was frightened by the huge war potential of the United States, did not even dare to use the word victory to describe the possible outcome. Mussolini, who did not dare to have extravagant hopes, only hoped that Hitler and the German army could withstand the Americans. When invading Europe, it would be best to send a large army to help defend the Italian coastline. Mussolini, who knew the size of his own army, did not dare to hope that he could defeat the Americans.

Ciano, who had not thought about killing his father-in-law in 1941, thought for a moment.

Although Ciano was also very panicked and afraid of the American war strength in his heart, in the final analysis, Ciano, who was still stronger than Mussolini, gave his answer within a few seconds.

"Hitler and his army conquered the entire Europe without any effort. Even the powerful French were captured by them in seven weeks. You must know that our army was beaten miserably by the French. I think the Americans No matter how powerful they are, they are still about the same as the French. France is known as the world's best army. Hitler should be able to defeat the Americans who set foot in Europe after paying some losses, provided that the Americans can really enter Europe. "

Even today, Ciano, who thinks that France is as powerful as the God of War, has no idea how embarrassing the French surrender scene was when the number of people was calculated based on square kilometers. Today, the United States' combat power is stronger than France by who knows how many Dimension.

After hearing the comfort from his son-in-law Ciano, Mussolini thought about it and felt that this was also the case.

The Germans easily defeated France, the strongest country in Europe, and also kicked those John Bulls with their noses in the air back to their hometown. No matter how hard it goes, we should be able to drive the United States out of Europe. That will definitely be the case!

After a day of repeated weighing, Mussolini, almost like Hitler, gradually began to feel that bad things had turned into good things.

"The Americans and British use their main forces to fight the Japanese in Asia, so that the pressure on us in Europe will be much less. We can take advantage of the opportunity of the Americans and British being held back by the Japanese to rebuild the empire, Africa will be ours, and the Mediterranean will once again become the inland sea of ​​our great empire!"

Guided by the great dream of the New Roman Empire, Mussolini and Hitler publicly declared war on the United States on the same day. The three like-minded brothers finally stood on the opposite side of the United States and prepared coffins for themselves in advance.

After the three countries unified and declared war on the United States, Mussolini, Hitler, and Hideki Tojo ingeniously created another three-country military agreement.

The agreement stipulates that before the final victory of the joint war between Germany, Italy and Japan against Britain and the United States, no country can lay down their arms or withdraw midway, and no matter how badly they are beaten, they cannot unilaterally sign a peace agreement. In short, the three countries must work together and not act like fence-sitters.

In the core part of the agreement, Germany, Italy and Japan also determined the scope of the division of the post-war world, and unanimously agreed that after the final victory of the war and the conquest of the world, the three contracting parties, Germany, Italy and Japan, should carry out friendly cooperation in various fields and undertakings in the new post-war world order in accordance with the spirit of the Tripartite Alliance in the agreement.

This absurd agreement is really ridiculous in the eyes of later generations. Italy, which acted like a fence-sitter, was the first to violate the agreement, and the Japanese, whose ambitions expanded to the extreme, did not take the division of the post-war world stipulated in the agreement seriously at all. The Japanese who dreamed of "spreading imperial power to all directions" also hoped that one day the plaster flag would fly over the highest point in Europe. What's the point of Hitler carving out such a large territory for himself and stamping a swastika on it?

But no matter what, the three gravedigging brothers' journey to death was officially on the right track from the moment President Roosevelt issued the declaration of war.
