The Third Reich in Desperation

If according to the European statement, the Battle of Poland is regarded as the start of World War II, then the United States did the same at the beginning of World War II. Anyway, it was only nominally subsidizing British supplies, but in fact it was developing the economy and reselling arms.

But now it is different, the United Kingdom is gone, if the United States still wants to buy arms and strategic materials to go to Europe, it can only sell them to Germany and its allies.

As for Asia, the Japanese have already started, and it is naturally impossible for the United States to sell Japanese materials.As for China, it can sell arms, but the prices offered are too low to even cover the shipping costs.

As a result, the sales of American arms will be greatly reduced.

Even selling Soviet arms, Roosevelt had to think carefully, so as not to stimulate the military blocs of the Allies and make the Atlantic a situation that the United States could not cope with in a short time.

Fortunately, it is now possible to produce and sell by itself, and the arms do not need to be sold, they are directly purchased by the US government to arm the newly expanded army.

With the army, Roosevelt had the confidence to bring the United States into the war.In his opinion, in terms of population, wealth, technology, and land, what is the United States not better than Germany? !

As long as there is enough time to integrate and join forces with Canada and other American countries, and develop the United States' own war potential, the United States, the chosen country, can become a world-class hegemon!

After a few seconds of rapid emotion in his heart, Roosevelt moved his mouth and opened his mouth, ready to announce the decision of history.

Since the battle report from Pearl Harbor came back, he hadn't rested all night. Only three hours ago, on the way here, he leaned on the car seat, closed his eyes and regained some strength.

However, thinking that what he was about to announce would become an important part of history, Roosevelt felt full of strength all over his body.

The United States should have participated in this war long ago!

"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House and Senate..."

Roosevelt announced the opening remarks slowly with his strong and powerful voice:

"Yesterday, July 1941, 7... a day of national infamy that we must always remember"

"The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force! This was a naked and shameless sneak attack, without a note, without an ultimatum, just one hour after the Japanese Air Force Squadron had begun bombing Oahu Island, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States Also forwarded to our Secretary of State is the official reply to the most recent letter from the United States to Japan. While the reply states that it appears futile to continue the ongoing diplomatic negotiations, it still contains no threat or statement of war or armed attack."

"Hawaii is so far away from Japan...History will prove that this attack was carefully planned for countless days and nights, and it was a long-planned sneak attack. During this period, the Japanese government deliberately statement to deceive the United States."

"Yesterday, however, the Japanese attack on the island of Hawaii caused the worst damage to U.S. naval and military forces in 20 years. I regret to inform you that many American lives were lost. In addition, U.S. ships were reportedly The high seas in between were also attacked by Japanese torpedoes."

"Yesterday, the Japanese army attacked Guam!"

"Yesterday, Japanese troops attacked the Philippine Islands!"

"Yesterday, the Japanese government launched an attack on Malaya!"

"Hostilities already exist! It goes without saying that our people, our territory and our interests are in serious danger!"

"Japan has taken a sudden offensive in the entire Pacific region. But they also let all the people of the United States finally form their own unified views, and realize that this is related to our national security, and even survival itself!"

"I believe that the entire United States will always remember the nature of this attack on us. We also believe that the American people will eventually win an absolute victory with their righteous forces!"

"We now prophesy that not only will we do our utmost to defend ourselves, we will also ensure that this form of treachery will never again endanger us! Never!"

"Trust in our Armed Forces, and the firm resolve of our people, will surely bring us total victory, and may God help us!"

"I, Roosevelt, as President of the United States, hereby ask Congress to declare that a state of war has existed between the United States and the Empire of Japan since July 1941, 7, when Japan launched its unprovoked and cowardly attack."

Roosevelt put away the speech in his hand, raised his arms and shouted with his thin shoulders: "War!"

It was this roar that made everyone present feel full of strength.

"War! War! War!"

Countless people were infected and shouted slogans one after another.As an American, no one is immune to this moment.

Immediately, the U.S. Congress unanimously passed Roosevelt's decision to declare war on Japan, and for the first time a firm and unified collective stood behind Roosevelt.

After a long time, when Roosevelt was sitting in a wheelchair and driving towards the door, everyone in the hall stood up and watched Roosevelt leave.

The sunlight outside the door was a bit dazzling, and Roosevelt, who had not slept well all night, could only slightly squint his eyes and block the dazzling light with his hands.

He knew that from today onwards, the United States has changed from being a behind-the-scenes chess player to one of the chess pieces.

In this turbulent battle situation, Roosevelt did not know whether his decision would be wrong, but he did not regret doing so!

If the United States wants to become a real world power, it must participate in this war.Peace and tranquility cannot give birth to the status that the United States should have in his mind.

That is the status of world dominance!

Text 765 young lieutenant general

"General!" Behind Yamamoto 56, two naval staff officers took two steps forward excitedly, and said excitedly, "We won! The airmen completely destroyed Pearl Harbor!"

Yamamoto 56 nodded silently, but did not speak.

The victory came so suddenly, and far exceeded expectations, that it made him, a gambler who sat at the gaming table all year round, feel a little dazed.

"By the way, general." As if remembering something, one of the naval staff quickly added: "The German lieutenant general in the flagship lounge..."

"Quick! Please come right away! I want to thank the German Navy face to face for providing us with suggestions!" After the reminder from the staff officer, Yamamoto 56 also slapped his head suddenly and thought of the Fern who was left in the lounge by him. Will.

It is said to be a lieutenant general, but this is just a unilateral description submitted by Reinhardt to the Japanese government. Before that, the Japanese military had never heard of a lieutenant general named Fein in Germany.

Of course, Fein's lieutenant general was promoted temporarily.

In order to better fool the Japanese into working for Germany in the future and mislead the strategic formulation of the Japanese base camp, Reinhardt called the Chief of Staff of the German Navy and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Marshal Raeder, and asked him to choose a man who was astute and knowledgeable. The Japanese officer, as the leader of the German guiding officer corps, took an officer corps to the Japanese Navy to mess around.

In the end, Raeder only found a major named Finn for Reinhardt.

Even this major was temporarily promoted by Raedel to Fein.

After all, Raeder was also reluctant to send the talents in the navy to the small island country of Japan. After picking and choosing, he chose a captain who was clever and knew Japanese.This captain is Finn.

Perhaps because he felt that sending a captain to carry out this order of the head of state would appear to be too insignificant to the Admiralty, so Raeder simply promoted Finn to the level of a colonel from a lieutenant, which is considered more important. formal.

But when it came to Reinhardt, things got even worse.Seeing Fein, Reinhardt just glanced at the epaulettes on Fein's shoulders, then dragged his chin thoughtfully and said, "Huh? Major? Does this mean that we don't value the Japanese too much?"

"Well, I'll ask the Navy Command to make arrangements and give him the rank of admiral directly." Anyway, Reinhardt didn't intend to let the admiral command his own people, so Reinhardt made this decision extraordinarily generously.

In his opinion, sending a general to the Japanese base camp seemed more compelling.What's more, this general is not commanding German troops to fight, and has little impact on the German combat order.

But Raeder, who heard the decision of the head of state, was not calm.

Although he played a trick, it was only a promotion for Finn.At this level, Fein directly changed from a lieutenant officer to a school officer, and it was considered worthwhile for the promotion.

But who would have thought that the head of state's handwriting was even bigger, and on the basis of Raider, he raised it to a full five levels in one breath!

From major to general, this promotion to Su De is too bizarre!

Therefore, under Raeder's persuasion, Reinhardt reluctantly agreed to take a smaller step and promote Finn to lieutenant general.

On the one hand, the promotion tradition of the Navy and even the entire German Wehrmacht can no longer be bizarre.In the past few decades, the navy has also produced a fast-promoting maniac Reinhardt, who went from a naval sergeant to an army general in lightning speed, and finally became the German head of state and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
