Chapter 764 Perfect Explanation (Plus 5)
"When I got the news that the Germans bombed our New York, I was as horrified as everyone else. I didn't believe that the Germans would do such a thing to us." The famous congressman, Roosevelt began to speak.
It's okay to fool the common people, but the members of Congress in front of him are all from various states, representing major families and various forces. For these people, Roosevelt can't just fool them.
Roosevelt had to show his real skills to convince everyone, but fortunately he was already prepared.
Even if the truth is finally revealed, it is a British conspiracy, a British conspiracy to drag the United States into the war, and Roosevelt is also a victim.
For the benefit of the United States, Roosevelt could only do so.
"Now, Donovan will explain the incident that everyone is most concerned about." Roosevelt gave the microphone to the intelligence chief behind him.
"Everyone, this incident is related to the sinking of our Oregon Star cargo ship yesterday." Donovan said: "Our cargo ship sank, it was announced that it was due to bad weather, but in fact, It's been calm there and it's not a natural accident at all."
"Is it a German submarine?" said one MP.
This is easy to think of. After all, German submarines have always been active in the Atlantic Ocean, and you can often hear the news that British cargo ships have been sunk. Now, American cargo ships did not sink naturally. Maybe it was the Germans who sunk Shen!
"Unfortunately, although we carefully searched the sea area, we still did not find the sunken ship. Fortunately, there were survivors on the sunken ship, who were brought to New York by passing cargo ships." Donovan continued.
"Where is that person now?" a gloomy congressman asked.
Roosevelt glanced, Deren - Rockefeller, from the Rockefeller family.
Not everyone is outraged, and these congressmen are of course more calm. After all, many American companies are making money through Germany, and if they go to war with Germany, they will have no profit.
For example, Libya's oil fields have their shares. In this case, they certainly don't want to have a conflict with Germany. Once this accident causes the United States to declare war on Germany, they will definitely not be able to touch the profits of those oil fields. .
"Unfortunately, we went a step late." Donovan said: "Just before our agents arrived at the crew's side, the bombing of New York began, and the only survivor was killed by the bombing. ."
"He was drinking in the bar at the time. There were more than 50 sailors in the bar, and they all confirmed it. The survivor himself said that it was a German submarine that blew up the cargo ship." Donovan continued Said: "The German bombers just wanted to bomb the bar, but unfortunately they didn't have enough accuracy. They didn't blow up other people, but they killed our client."
"You won't say that the Germans want to kill people, right?" Another congressman from Washington state in the western United States said: "The Germans traveled thousands of miles and used bombers to blow up a client? Don't take us for fools! Isn’t it a better choice for the Germans to use agents? Besides, what does that cargo ship have to do with the Germans? Could it be that there is a secret on the cargo ship?”
The people present are not fools, so of course they cannot be satisfied!
Donovan, who is only responsible for explaining these things, has now completed his task.
Taking the microphone back again, Roosevelt said, "I'm sorry, I'm hiding something."
Roosevelt's frankness is unimaginable.
"In the past, Congress has made a resolution that there can be no more support for Britain, but when Britain is about to perish, we can't help reaching out. The ship is loaded with our American arms, which are intended to support the British," Roosevelt said.
Hearing Roosevelt's words, the scene exploded in an instant.
After Congress had already made a resolution, Roosevelt dared to bypass Congress and supply arms to the British!
At the moment, some congressmen shouted to let Roosevelt get out, and at the same time, some people fell into thinking.
No wonder the Germans want to blow up the cargo ship, which is full of American arms. Of course the Germans don't want the British to get it!
The Germans used submarines and sunk cargo ships, which made sense, but why did the Germans use bombers? It doesn't make sense without a good reason!
"Kill the only survivor and keep the sinking a secret, why did the Germans use bombers?" shouted one MP.
Roosevelt was overjoyed, this question is great! Finally, subtly, the parliamentarians have agreed that the Germans did it! Roosevelt even risked being ousted by speaking out about the munitions ship.
This wouldn't be a secret either. Just as the quarrel started in the Congress, the people left in the bar had already made a lot of noise about it, and the reporters of the newspapers were all ready for tomorrow's headlines.
"Please everyone, look at this map." Roosevelt took out the map that was just inside the White House and showed it to everyone. Everyone who saw it was angry.
"Please don't doubt the authenticity of this map. Our agents risked their lives to get it." Roosevelt said: "In this world, there is a crazy country, that is Germany, their goal is not only to rule Europe, But the whole world!"
"I was also quite surprised when I heard that the German bombers were bombing." Roosevelt continued: "However, the news one by one made me believe it was true, when we strictly monitored the sky overhead, We found some German bombers, which were actually on the way, posing as civil airliners and often entering our airspace for reconnaissance."
The German bomber pretended to be a civil airliner. This is not Roosevelt's nonsense. That's what the Germans did when they raided Scapa Flow. Moreover, only the Germans have the ability to do this because their Junkers-290 bomber , and Atlantic One, are exactly the same.
The Germans, who have been reconnaissance over the United States, are still wandering off the coast of the United States!
"When the survivor was discovered, the Germans panicked. They didn't have time to find agents to assassinate them, and for other purposes, they decided to use bombers to kill the survivor."
for other purposes? Suddenly someone asked: "German, what else is there?"
"Deterrence." Roosevelt said: "The Germans, in half an hour, completely leveled a city in Britain, then the Germans are also capable of leveling our New York in half an hour, because we secretly sold arms to Britain, This led to the Germans' dissatisfaction with us, and this bombing is more like a deterrent to us!"
