Chapter 898: The Edge of War (Plus 2)

"For the sake of confidentiality, you can also send some pilots to come to us for training." Cyric said: "After all, your pilots do not have special dive bombing skills. The pilot quickly grasped it, and some ground crews have to be sent over, and the maintenance of this water-cooled engine is also different from yours."

"Führer Cyric, Germany is really our best friend." Pheasant Fifty-Six was very satisfied: "We hope to order 100 of these fighters."

The overwhelming Stuka, with the shrill scream of death, swooped towards the US fleet at Pearl Harbor. This scene is very intoxicating, and Cyric is also very satisfied. He fully believes that in Stuka's Under attack, the US Pacific Fleet will be destroyed more thoroughly.

As for the orders of the islanders, of course, they will be fulfilled immediately and quickly. When the islanders get the price, I don't know if they will be surprised.

Also, if you are training here on your own side, before you leave, you have to pay for meals or something. You have the meaning, so why are you embarrassed to ask for more? Give them too much, don't let them go back.

Cyric felt like a businessman.

Just when Pheasant Fifty-six visited Germany secretly and signed a small order, internationally, the incident of the US sinking the submarine of the island country caused an uproar.

With heavy steps, Tojo chick appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a military uniform, with various medals on his chest, and round-frame glasses on his eyes.

"Our submarine, which was sailing normally in the Pacific Ocean and in a floating state, was besieged by a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. Navy. During the siege, our submarine dived in an emergency and was subsequently sunk." There was anger in his voice.

"We hope to maintain peace in the Pacific Ocean, but we have never been afraid of war. So far, the U.S. government has not apologized for maliciously attacking our submarines, which eventually led to the sinking of the submarine. We will never Tolerable." Tojo Chick said: "We can completely regard this as a war threat from the United States to us!"

Threat of war! For the island country, there is no fear of war. Everyone in the island country will take up arms and go to the battlefield under the call of His Majesty the Emperor.

Now, there is actually a malicious provocation from the United States! This is absolutely intolerable for the island nation.

If the United States apologized for the matter and compensated for the loss, this matter could pass, but until now, the attitude of the Americans is still vague and they will not admit it!

Below, a large group of reporters have made a sensation. It is about to enter the 1940s. It is a turbulent era. Is the island country going to go to war with the United States?

This is really terrible. The whole world will be involved in the war, and even the United States will not be spared!

Some people have also noticed that until now, Tojo Chick's attitude is still restrained, which shows that the island country does not want to be involved in the war with the United States.

The island country just failed in the contest with the Soviet Union, do they still dare to challenge the United States?

How should this news be written?

Just as the reporters were racking their brains, the United States on the other side of the ocean also issued a statement.

Compared with the mobilization of the island country, the United States is much more dull. Normally, this should be announced by the White House Chief of Staff, but now, it is only a staff officer of the Navy Department who came out to make an announcement.

"Our navy, in the Pacific Ocean, sank a submarine of unknown nationality, and in the course of several days of pursuit, this submarine has exposed its deep malice, threatening the safety of our maritime transport lines, and we There is no choice but to keep our maritime transport safe."

"At the same time, we declare here that with the recent tension in the international situation, the Pacific Ocean is a submarine-free zone, and any country's submarines, if they operate near the Pacific Ocean routes, will be sunk by us as a threat. The tragedy of the USS Fox cannot be repeated."

The Pacific Ocean is not owned by the United States, so why not allow submarines from other countries to sail?

At the same time, only island countries can have large submarines that go deep into the ocean. Other countries along the Pacific coast have extremely weak navies. This statement is too obvious.

The United States is specifically targeting island countries, telling the island countries that when the United States sank, it sank. The reason for the sinking is because you threatened the safety of American cargo ships!

This domineering declaration made the island nation completely angry.

"President Roosevelt, on behalf of the government of the island country, I solemnly express my protest to you. Yesterday's statement by your Admiralty seriously violated international conventions. The Pacific Ocean belongs to the international high seas, not the territorial waters of the United States. Ships of all countries have the right to sail freely. Power." Nomura Yoshizaburo wore a suit with a serious face.

The two sides are no longer friends. Although they have had a good past, they must focus on national interests. The arrogance and domineering of the United States has simply pushed the island country to the brink of war.

"Freedom of navigation? Who will guarantee our safety?" Roosevelt said lightly: "The first thing we have to protect is the interests of the United States and the interests of American ships. Just four hours ago, our naval formation was expelled again. A submarine of unknown nationality, if it is any later, our freighter will be in danger.”

Roosevelt is also serious, I am for the interests of the United States, what's wrong with me?

"It was a German submarine that attacked your freighter. It has nothing to do with our country. You should be very clear." Nomura Yoshizaburo said.

"Really?" Roosevelt put down his cigar and flicked it twice in the ashtray: "We haven't forgotten about the Pane incident."

The Pane, an American freighter, left Nanjing in response to people from the American embassy when Nanjing fell. After that, it moored on the Yangtze River. As a result, it was patronized by planes from the island country.

Along with them, a total of four U.S. merchant ships were sunk.

After the incident, the United States was extremely angry. Under the negotiation of the United States, the island country compensated for various losses, only compensation for the losses, and no other actions. This kind of appeasement by the United States did not restrain the island country.

The island nation claimed indiscriminate attack in East Asia, and bombed British ships.

Moreover, after that, the widespread isolationism in the United States prevented the United States from imposing sanctions on the island countries. On the contrary, trade between the island countries and the United States became more frequent, and the United States is the island country's most important trading partner. Almost half of the oil and steel needed for the island nation to wage war came from the United States!

Just this year, the island nation has occupied the Nansha Islands, pointed at the Philippines, and occupied the northern part of Indochina, all of which pose a huge threat to the United States.

When withdrawing from European affairs, the United States realized that the situation in Asia was becoming more tense, especially now, if the United States wants to continue to support George VI, it must ensure absolute security in Asia and cut off island countries to Southeast Asia. , reaching out to the Pacific Ocean is even more important.

On the surface, the accidental bombing of the island country's submarine seems to be an accidental accident, but if you look at the current situation, it is inevitable by chance.

"We're making more plans," Roosevelt said. "Now, with advance notice, if the island nations don't accept our terms, we'll freeze $130 million in island nation assets in the U.S., with the exception of cotton and rice. Total embargo."
