Chapter 763 The Statue of Liberty (Plus 4)
"Boom!" A bomb exploded in the open space next to the sculpture, and countless shrapnel flew towards the base of the sculpture, hitting it, making a ping-pong sound.
"Boom!" A bomb rolled and fell into the woods next to it, and a tree that had been growing for hundreds of years collapsed suddenly.
The explosion, like a knife, pierced into everyone's heart.
Countless London citizens have seen this scene and the crazy bomber that is bombing their Statue of Liberty!
What about our plane? They even had this idea in their minds, where were the American fighter jets when they were brutally bombed by the Germans in the continental United States?
They watched the bomber helplessly. After dropping the bomb, they flew away, disappeared from their field of vision, and flew towards the sea in the east!
At this time, the air defense siren was long overdue!
This is an absolutely shameful day for the people of New York! The German bombers flew to New York, dropped bombs, and finally flew away!
If it wasn't for God's blessing, maybe the Statue of Liberty would be blown up. At this time, what are American fighter jets doing?
This incident spread all over the United States almost on the same day!
The capital, 400 kilometers away, was also extremely indignant. Almost on the same day, on the streets of the capital, District of Columbia, the people started a massive parade!
Standing on the window of the White House, Roosevelt nodded in satisfaction as he listened to the constant shouting from outside.
"The British are really smart, and they have aroused the emotions of our people all of a sudden." Roosevelt said.
Americans have a very strong sense of isolationism. For many Americans, they do not want to fight. The war in Europe is just a topic after their dinner.
But it is different now. The crazy Germans actually came to bomb the cities of the United States. This kind of behavior will definitely be brutally retaliated by the United States!
Those bombs did not blow up the Statue of Liberty. If they did blow up, the United States would definitely be even more angry at this time, and maybe they would go to Europe to beat the Germans.
Roosevelt was optimistic at this time, but the others in the oval-table conference room didn't feel the same way.
For example, the Army Chief of Staff George Marshall was very worried: "Mr. President, this incident happened so suddenly, as long as you have a brain, you should know why the Germans came to bomb us?"
Now, under the deliberate exaggeration of some organizations, the blame is on the Germans, but as long as you think about it, you know that this is absolutely nonsense.
Germans, bombing America?
Running over thousands of miles, just for this bombing? Before that, Germany had always maintained friendly relations with the United States. Even, according to some statistics, Germany has surpassed Japan and became the largest trading partner of the United States. The United States now earns a dollar of profit, and there are at least $0.70 from Germany.
At such a time, to say that the Germans came to bomb, in short, Marshall did not believe it.
The Germans had no need and no motivation.
"Unless the Germans are crazy." Marshall said: "Even now the people are full of hatred for Germany because of the bombing, but it will not take long before they wake up."
This incident, the artificial director's meaning is too strong, full of conspiracy flavor everywhere.
"Aren't the Germans crazy?" Roosevelt said. "If the Germans weren't crazy, how could they try to rule the world?"
Everyone has noticed Roosevelt's words, the Germans, at most, only rule Europe, how can they rule the world?
In the eyes of everyone, Roosevelt spread out a large-scale map, and on it, the territory of the United States has been marked with swastikas.
"This map was brought back from Berlin by our intelligence personnel. The goal of the Germans is not just to dominate Europe, but the whole world. We have been blinded by the Germans for a long time. Now, our The people will eventually wake up."
wide awake? Who is awake? Even the American people are not at the mercy of the government? Those parades outside, although some people are secretly fueling the flames, but more, it is also the participation of ordinary people!
As long as this matter is confirmed, and the United States is involved in European affairs, then its own purpose will be achieved, even if it is strictly proved in the future, if this matter is faked, then it will be pushed to the British, it's a big deal A few intelligence officers were dismissed, and by that time, they were no longer able to withdraw.
The people are ignorant and ignorant. I really think, it will always be in the hands of a few people.
At the same time, Roosevelt also knew that even if this matter was later turned out, or even said to be fake, or even counted himself in it, he would win the respect of the United States, because he was completely sure that if the United Kingdom lost, the whole world would be There is a risk of being dominated by the Germans.
The United Kingdom has reached the most dangerous moment. If the United States does not help the United Kingdom, the fall of the United Kingdom will bring a greater threat to the United States. Maybe in the future, the German bombers will really fly to the east coast of the United States. bombing!
"Mr. President, it's time for Congress." At this moment, the chief of staff came over and said.
"Come on, Donovan, you come with me." Roosevelt said to the assistant beside him.
William - Joseph - Donovan, Director of the US Intelligence Coordination Agency, and this organization is the predecessor of the famous US Central Intelligence Agency.
After Roosevelt came to power, he was very dissatisfied with the status quo of the US intelligence agencies. Needless to say, the large and small intelligence agencies, just coordinating the disputes between them, gave Roosevelt a headache.
So, Roosevelt decided to change. He first handed over all espionage work, counterintelligence work and sabotage work to the FBI and the Department of Army and Navy Intelligence. He also authorized the FBI to conduct counterintelligence and security work against enemy spies in Latin America.
Later, as the situation in Europe continued to deteriorate, Roosevelt decided to set up the US Intelligence Coordination Office, which has now begun to operate in several dilapidated buildings near the White House.
The official work of this intelligence coordination bureau is sabotage, espionage, counterintelligence and deployment, and the implementation of covert operations, which later became the basic scope of operations of the US Central Intelligence Agency.
And this time, Donovan was responsible for the bombing of New York by the Germans. The Germans definitely did not come to the bombing on a whim or in a frenzy. The Germans have their purpose!
