Chapter 966: Declaration of War
"March 10, 1940, is a day of shame that we must always remember β the United States of America was attacked by a sudden and deliberate attack by the Imperial Navy and Air Force of the island nation."
"History will tell that the fact that Hawaii is so far from Japan clearly shows that the attack was carefully planned over many days, if not many weeks."
"The island government has launched an attack on Malaya. The army of the island nation attacked Guam, and the army of the island nation of Japan attacked the Philippine Islands. The island nation attacked Wake Island. The island nation has taken a sudden offensive throughout the Pacific region. β
"The nature of this raid on us will always be remembered by our entire nation. No matter how long it will take to defeat this premeditated invasion, the American people will surely win an absolute victory with their own righteous forces. β
"I ask Congress to declare that there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan since Sunday, March 10, 1940, when Japan launched its unprovoked and despicable attack."
"At the same time, what makes me even more unbelievable is that this time, the island nation's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor used a large number of German-made Stuka bombers."
Roosevelt's words were long, and many Americans listened to the voices on the radio, and their chests were full of war.
"We can speculate that Germany has long been involved in this operation of the island nation, and even that they have provided the island nation with all the experience of the battle in Scapa Bay, and it is precisely because of Germany's participation that we have suffered great losses, and I ask Congress to declare the same that we and Germany are already at war."
"We must support the British government in exile, and give it our full support, until the British government can return to its homeland, until peace is restored in Europe, and we firmly believe that the final victory in this war will be ours!"
β¦β¦β¦
"Roosevelt, is this crazy?" In the wolf's den, on the platform on the top of the high mountain, enjoying the great rivers and mountains around him, Shirek, suddenly received the news, and was stunned for a moment.
It is in Germany's interest for Germany to help the island nation and inflict heavy damage on the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean, after all, it is better for the United States to be consumed in a war with the island nation than with Germany.
At the same time, the island country was used to drag down the United States, so that Germany would not have to worry about the American counteroffensive in Europe for the time being, and would devote itself wholeheartedly to the war against the Soviet Union.
Who would have thought that Roosevelt would declare war not only on the island nation, but also on Germany?
This Roosevelt is really a war maniac, fighting one is fighting, fighting two is also fighting, why don't you fight together?
Ciric was stunned for a moment, with surprises and surprises everywhere!
Because he knew that the island country would not be able to defeat the United States in the end, Ciric did not plan to form an alliance with the island country at all, but only sold some weapons to the island country, and what Germany hoped was to remain neutral.
Now, on the contrary, the United States has taken the initiative to provoke!
"It was the United States that took the initiative to declare war on us, so let's just declare war with the United States as well!" On Ciric's side, Field Marshal Keitel said, now that Germany has conquered the whole of Europe, are you still afraid of declaring war with the United States? If the United States wants to fight, then let the horse come!
Cirek shook his head: "No, if we declare war, we will fall into the trap of the Americans, Roosevelt has always wanted to fight, but the isolationism in the United States does not agree, and now, Roosevelt has finally waited for the opportunity, he can't wait." β
"So what do we do?" Schellner was also stunned and asked Shirek.
"Announcing to the outside world that we are only selling weapons to island countries, this is a normal business dealing, and if the United States stops supporting George VI, then we Germany will stop selling weapons to island countries." "We are peace-loving. All this is a countermeasure to the United States' deliberate efforts to sow discord in Europe and to continue to support the government-in-exile. β
"However, if the United States insists on going its own way and wants to wage war against us, then we will definitely not be afraid to fight." "To declare war on us Germany is to declare war on our whole of Europe!" I hope that the Americans will keep their eyes open and see clearly the real situation of the Pearl Harbor incident, and in particular, the top level of the United States really does not know that the island countries are going to make a sneak attack? β
When Ciric's last words came out, everyone present was like a mirror, Roosevelt, this guy, let's take care of himself first!
There are many factors that can succeed in the sneak attack of the island country, and at the same time, there are too many suspicious points, and the US intelligence department has not found anything about the frequent troop movements of the island country?
In particular, when the bombers of the island country are bombing, why is the American aircraft carrier not inside the port?
These doubts are enough to write an investigation draft!
In particular, Roosevelt had a criminal record, and he bombed the east coast of the United States in the past, which shocked the Americans, but in the end, the Americans found the truth of the matter, and it was actually planned by the British in secret, and the bomber was not German, but a bomber developed by Boeing in the United States!
At the beginning, this explosive news almost led to Roosevelt's downfall, and now, continue to turn it out, hype!
Ribbentrop immediately understood: "All right, FΓΌhrer, let's go and prepare at once." β
Cirek put the matter aside, even now that the United States has declared war on Germany, what can the United States do? The Americans do not have intercontinental bombers, so they will not be able to fly over Europe at all, and even if the Americans want to bomb, they will bomb the island countries first.
Moreover, the US Pacific Fleet is finished, it will definitely be drawn from the Atlantic side, and the US strength in the Atlantic side will be further weakened, and the German fleet, it would be good not to bully them, and it will be their turn to spread wild?
If the Americans really dare to challenge, then let the US Navy know what will happen to challenge the German Navy!
Germany is innocently lying on the gun, this is absolutely not good!
While thinking about it, Ciric began to continue to think about the Soviet war, the development of the situation, should he let his own side attack this year?
No, it has to be delayed!
The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the island nation was extremely shocking to the Americans.
Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
In old James's house, there were sobs one after another.
Tony, a neighbor, walked in slowly, only to see old James's wife, who was already in tears.
"James, what's going on? My old neighbor? Tony asked James.
"Tony, our Pearl Harbor was attacked by the islanders, and my youngest son, who was the chief engineer on the USS Arizona, just received his death notice." James Sr. said.
His own son had already been killed, and when they heard the news, the two suffered a huge blow!
Throughout the United States, tens of thousands of families have fallen into the same grief as them, with the elderly losing their children, wives losing their husbands, and children losing their fathers.
This is where the cruelty of war lies.
"Alas, God Almighty!" Tony also sighed: "Did you read today's newspaper?" The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was simply a big conspiracy! β
