At the same time, in the United States, the news that President Roosevelt was seriously ill spread far and wide, causing panic among the top American leaders.

Germany is already calling for wind and rain in Europe, and Japan is making waves in the Pacific. The United States is caught between two countries, and the disadvantages are already beginning to show.

Marshall has ordered mobilization, and the U.S. military is arming more troops, and before arming more troops, they have secretly sent 1,000 Army soldiers to Oahu.

The U.S. military swore to defend Oahu to the death, and this was already the consensus of all Americans from top to bottom.

The fact that the United States had been invaded by Japan and had already reached the Hawaiian Islands, the American mainland, angered young Americans.

Active participation in the military has arisen in every state, and rumors that Americans are afraid of death have been debunked.

In many areas, there is a deplorable situation in which young people who are unable to enlist in the armed forces would rather commit suicide than be ridiculed.

Under this premise, the US military is inflating like a balloon. It started with 1 million, and now it's close to 3 million.

Half the world's production capacity is in the United States, and it is now in full swing and working at full capacity to arm American soldiers.

One M2 and M3 tank after another were produced, equipped with one army division after another.

From the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii to June 1941, in just two months, the U.S. Navy launched 20 submarines and dozens of warships of various types.

Although the gap between aircraft carriers and battleships is still obvious, the US military has made up its mind, and 10 battleships that are too old to be old have been pulled out and added to the naval sequence.

The Japanese may not have thought that the current US Navy has actually surpassed them in the number of battleships - but in terms of combat effectiveness, it may be very watery.

From the Atlantic, the United States transferred two new battleships, and then added 10 old battleships back into service, and the US Navy in the Pacific is not small.

It's just that such a fleet has no problem escorting or replenishing aircraft carriers, and it is a bit too reluctant to let them fight the Japanese army head-on.

Not to mention that the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet will kill these grandfather-class warships hundreds of kilometers away, even if it comes to the range of naval artillery engagement, they will not be able to bargain for anything.

You must know that the Japanese Navy's gunnery is not inferior to that of the British Navy, and the elite of the American Navy has been lost for so long.

Compare the names of the warships on both sides and look at the tonnage, and you can clearly draw a conclusion about the victory or defeat:

On the American side, Wyoming, Arkansas...... They are all old ships of the First World War era; Look at the Japanese side again, Yamato, Nagato...... The two sides are not a heavyweight at all.

In the White House, the busy corridors are full of official secretaries holding documents, and everyone is always busy in a state of war, so that people can't think about anything else.

A meeting has just ended, someone is cleaning up the table, someone is communicating details with colleagues, this is a working meeting on the production of transport ships.

"What happened to the president?" In the corner of the conference room, an officer privately asked Marshall, "If something goes wrong with the president, is it possible for the new president to sue for peace with Japan?" ”

"What are you kidding? Sue for peace? Admit that a war we can win has failed? Marshall sneered and said, "No one dares to sue for peace at this time." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at his subordinates and said coldly: "Mr. President's condition is not as serious as he imagined, the main reason is that the battle situation is unfavorable and he is too tired. ”

It's the same rhetoric to the outside world, but everyone hasn't seen President Roosevelt for a long time, so everyone chooses not to believe this rhetoric.

If it weren't for the president's serious illness, why didn't Mr. President preside over a large-scale meeting after the Japanese captured Kauai?

How serious was Roosevelt's condition? He is now emaciated in a hospital bed, and can only sit up and read a thirty-minute summary of important documents every day under the watchful eye of a doctor.

The passivity of the war made him feel bad, which also caused his condition to begin to recur, including his legs, and his fragile heart.

To put it bluntly, Roosevelt's condition was not as serious as rumored and imagined, but it was not pretended......

One of the main reasons why he has not shown up is the doctor's instructions and the deliberate actions of Marshall and others.

On the one hand, it is necessary to paralyze Germany, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to prepare the country as much as possible to avoid the president being really seriously ill and bringing some unexpected effects.

Marshall dismissed his men, pushed open the door and walked into Roosevelt's resting room, where he began to report on his recent work.

He comes here once every three days, basically to report good news and not bad news. There is indeed a lot of good news for the United States to enter the general mobilization, and there is no need to say some troublesome things to make Roosevelt depressed.

"Two converted aircraft carriers will be launched next month, and if Oahu can hold out until then, our disadvantage can be reversed to some extent." Marshall took the documents and read them one by one.

"We played 32 German spies, and they seem to be trying their best to infiltrate our higher-ups, which is in line with their style." Reading this, Marshall opened his mouth and said to Roosevelt: "Intelligence shows that our counterintelligence operations are very effective. ”

Hearing this, Roosevelt coughed twice and said softly, "Don't be careless...... The 'shadow' of the Germans, however, has been proven to exist. ”

Although the United States has received testimony in this regard from the British side, and the German side has made many similar claims, the United States has never been able to find traces of the German shadow force in its own country.

This made the United States more vigilant, and it also made Roosevelt a little restless - there are many isolationists in the United States, and there are also many fascists! This is all worthy of his vigilance.

If the Germans had turned these people into spies, there would be no secrets at the top of the United States.

"A completely new fighter has already begun to be put into production, using British engine technology...... In terms of liquid-cooled engine technology, Rolls-Royce's Merlin engine is worth learning from. Marshall talked about the P-51 fighter.

Both the new German aircraft and the Japanese Zero have sparked nerves in the U.S. Army Air Corps, which hopes to be equipped with better aircraft to fight these difficult opponents.

"That's good! Very good......" Roosevelt coughed twice, then took a sip of the water cup brought by his assistant: "Hopefully, we can make it to the time when the new weapon is in service!" ”
