Chapter 828: President Roosevelt's Embarrassment
But then the two of them immediately entered into discussing the battle plan for the Gilbert Islands, as well as a series of issues such as logistics and deployment of naval operations, as well as air support, which needed to be comprehensively adjusted.
However, whether it was Fletcher, Noyce, or even high-ranking generals such as MacArthur and Nimitz, they did not know that Chen Yanlong was secretly carrying out an operational plan to bomb the US military's home atomic bomb development base.
At the White House, President Roosevelt was sitting in his wheelchair and excitedly watching the spy information from Berlin, Germany.
The new Secretary of State, Edward Jr. Stepnius, and Chief Adviser Harry Hopkins secretly went to the president's private room again to accompany him, and were ready to discuss with President Roosevelt that their spies had succeeded in blowing up Chen Yanlong's new weapons and equipment storage site in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wimmersdorf district.
Unexpectedly, however, President Roosevelt had received the news of the success of their attack from Berlin, thousands of miles away.
Of course, they also learned afterwards that it was William Joseph Donovan, the chief of the US military intelligence agency, who sent Roosevelt the good news in advance.
"Good! Well fried! ”
"We have paid such a great price, so many casualties and spies to finally find the storage place of Hitler's new weapons and equipment, and destroy it!"
"It's so happy, and it's so relieving!"
"And this time we will be able to avenge the shame of our officers and soldiers and spies who were killed by Hitler's new weapons and equipment!"
When President Roosevelt trembled with excitement one after another, and looked at the good news, his eyebrows fluttered, and his face flushed and he shouted praise.
"The president is right! This time, our spy agency has done a very good job, and through the success of this bombing, we will definitely be able to gain more popular hearts and prestige, as well as military morale! ”
When President Roosevelt, who had not been so excited and happy for a long time, was so happy that he almost cried with joy, the new Secretary of State, Edward Jr. Stepnius, immediately stood up and echoed him.
"That's right! After our spies and agents blew up the storage site of Hitler's new weapons and equipment, did they take pictures and obtain information on the development of the new weapons and equipment of the German army, as we had planned in advance? ”
"At the very least, have you obtained some useful information about our crackdown on the new weapons and equipment of the German army, or information on the armament factories and companies of the German army that developed and produced these weapons and equipment?"
As soon as Stepnius's words fell, President Roosevelt suddenly remembered.
"I've got it all! Everything went smoothly in our battle plan, and there was no hindrance, but after the success of our spies, they were faced with a large-scale pursuit by the Germans, and now their situation is more troublesome! ”
"Because many spies and agents who have completed their combat missions have been captured and killed by the German pursuit force, whether it is our personnel, or the personnel of the British and Soviet troops, and even the remnants of Stauffenberg who betrayed Hitler and then we cooperated!"
"So Alan Dulles, Richard Helms, William Colby, and William Casey under William Joseph Donovan, he wants the president, you to send some troops and personnel to Berlin and France to rescue those who have completed their combat missions!"
"And they themselves are now trying to evade the pursuit of the Germans, but they are luckier, they have escaped to the French side, and are now in contact with the partisans there!"
Little Stepteenus replied.
"Save! We must find a way to save these brave soldiers and return home, and I will award them medals in front of the people of the whole country for their important contributions to the war against fascism! ”
Without hesitation, President Roosevelt immediately agreed.
"But now the battlefields of Cassino and Sicily are engaged in fierce battles! Your Excellency, President! ”
"So our troops and manpower are also relatively limited, especially now that we still need to deal with those Japanese troops in the Pacific Theater!"
However, at this moment, Harry Hopkins, the chief adviser who has not yet spoken, reminded without hesitation.
"Ahh This ......"
"I was so happy that I forgot!"
Hearing this, President Roosevelt blushed in embarrassment.
And little Studinus also closed his mouth and stood aside without saying a word, waiting for the two of them to talk.
