Chapter 1074 Roosevelt's Assassination (Plus 10)
Moscow nights are enchanting.
The sky is clear, the stars are twinkling, and the slowly flowing Moscow River brings a fresh taste.
Standing on the balcony of the hotel, you can see the Moscow River in front. The climate this year is not particularly cold, and the Moscow River has not yet frozen. The heating in the room is already on, so that with the windows open, it is not particularly cold. Looking at the stars and accompanying your lover, this feeling makes people very warm.
The daytime reception was over, Cyric stayed at the hotel and waited for the military parade the next day. At this moment, he and Hannah were together and felt that life was so simple.
However, next year, the fire of war will be ignited. As the initiator of the war, are you still as sentimental as a little girl here?
Thinking of this, Cyric couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, Cyric made a big splash in Yixing, and he said to Graff, who was beside him: "Bring the accordion here."
In the Soviet Union, the accordion was the most common musical instrument. It was easy to carry and played with good sound quality. Wang Weiguo, in his previous life, also learned it for a while.
Soon, Graf found the accordion, Cyric stepped over his chest, sat on the chair, and began to pull it up. The familiar melody came out like this. In the silent night, his voice was melodious and agitated. .
"It's quiet in the garden at night
Only the wind sings softly
what a beautiful night
so hearty
On this charming evening..."
Cyric once wrote a song about the armored soldiers, which moved many musicians, but now, this song on the outskirts of Moscow, hummed from Cyric's mouth, immediately infected many people.
Hannah sat quietly beside Cyric, listened to Cyric's music, and looked at her lover infatuatedly. This evening, it was really charming.
Cyric's visit this time was relaxing. His song was quickly reported to Stalin. Stalin listened to the song and couldn't help but relax.
After all, this is still a young man, and he is still too young to talk about political experience before he is sixty years old. It seems that he will not know what maturity is until the Soviet army crosses the border.
On the other side of the earth, at this time, it is daytime.
"President Roosevelt, here's New York," an aide to Roosevelt told him on a Douglas DC-3.
Because it was during the war, Roosevelt had a lot of business to deal with, so although he was actively involved in the next presidential campaign, he still didn't have much chance to get votes.
And today, Roosevelt finally found time to come to New York to give a speech on his presidential campaign, which was very important to him.
The plane flew over the coast, and the new Statue of Liberty could be seen. The scaffolding on it had not been removed. During the construction phase, Roosevelt withdrew his gaze, as if the goddess was staring at him, which made him very uncomfortable.
Soon, the plane arrived at the airport. When the cabin door opened, Roosevelt saw a large number of people in the airport below, already waiting there.
These people made Roosevelt feel warm, and he knew that they all supported him.
The wheelchair appeared at the door of the cabin, and Roosevelt waved to the people below: "Citizens of New York, I am very happy to be able to come to New York to give my presidential campaign speech. We, America, have reached the most dangerous juncture, but I believe that, We will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and defeat the enemy..."
If you want to be a successful politician, you must first become a qualified orator, especially in the free world. Here, Roosevelt started a speech impromptu.
He wants to let those present know that although the United States was attacked, the United States will never be defeated. As long as he is there, the United States will win!
The crowd below was quietly listening to Roosevelt's speech. Yes, at this juncture, only Roosevelt can lead the United States to victory!
In the crowd, a small oriental man squeezed forward. Although his nose was clean, he still looked like a shaggy moustache.
In his mouth, words were unclear: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Finally, he stood in a suitable position, with a wide enough field of vision, that President Roosevelt, standing high at the door of the cabin, was extremely clear.
At this moment, he calmed his breathing, and then quickly drew a pistol from his chest.
A Cole .38 caliber revolver that he had bought two hours earlier for fourteen dollars at a nearby gun store, with five bullets attached.
Yes, five bullets are enough. In a free country like the United States, it is completely normal to buy guns. During the war, the American people can buy their own guns and go to the battlefield to fight for the defense of America.
However, his oriental appearance made the clerk's attitude quite unfriendly, and he repeatedly checked his documents before selling him this gun, this old Colt police security type The pistol, produced in 1907, has a history of more than 30 years.
No matter what kind of gun it is, as long as it can kill people, it is a good gun!
The moment he pulled out his gun, the bodyguards around the crowd had already seen him. Suddenly, a bodyguard shouted loudly, "Protect the President!"
Then, he had already squeezed in, trying to grab the opponent's gun with his hands.
But it was of no use. He heard a light "bang", and then, Roosevelt, who was retreating, shook his body.
The assassin was captured by the bodyguard before he fired a second shot. Obviously, the assassin did not receive any professional training, and he did not even escape while taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, so he was caught.
Roosevelt's clothes on the front of his chest were torn. He frowned and looked very painful. Then, with trembling hands, he took out a box of Camel cigarettes from his front pocket. The box is made of iron, and a hole has been pierced through it.
On the back of the box was the speech Roosevelt was going to prepare today, and the top of the manuscript was already bright red.
"Send the president to the hospital immediately!" shouted the man behind him.
Roosevelt shook his head: "No, I'm not seriously injured. Now, I have to finish my speech task first and send me to the venue."
Roosevelt's hands were still trembling, but he would not interrupt his speech like this, because there were tens of thousands of people waiting for him at the speech venue!
"Call him here." Roosevelt said to the bodyguard, looking at the short assassin who was about to be taken away.
The assassin was quickly brought over, and Roosevelt asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you shoot me?"
At this time, the crowd below is still there. They are looking at their beloved president. At this time, they are still so calm and composed. This is the demeanor that a president should have!
"You are the enemy of our island nation, and I will kill you!" The other party's words were simple.
The following immediately exploded: "Kill all the Japanese!"
