Will Roosevelt collapse just because the situation has deteriorated? Of course not!

This was originally his long-awaited opportunity to go to war, but the price paid was a little bigger, more than expected.

But on July 3, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt made a speech calling for Congress to declare war on Japan.

In order to create a sufficient atmosphere of public opinion for this speech, Roosevelt even had people print a large newspaper the night before, describing July 2 as the day of national shame for the United States, and recalling how Japan had pretended to be a grandson in front of the United States and talked about peace.

In front of countless spotlights and under the gaze of countless people, Roosevelt took his speech and opened the prelude to the United States joining this world-class war.

Unlike the last world war, the United States did not enter the war this time in a situation of relative balance of power.

During World War I, the United States relied on the sale of arms and other strategic materials to make its economy the first in the world by using its neutral status, and it was at about that time that the United States rose in the true sense.

If, according to European parlance, the Polish campaign is regarded as the beginning of World War II, then the United States did the same thing at the beginning of World War II, anyway, it only nominally financed British supplies, but in fact it was developing the economy and reselling arms.

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

As for Asia, the Japanese have already done it, and the United States naturally has no way of selling Japanese supplies. As for China, it can sell arms, but the price is so low that it is barely enough to offset the freight.

As a result, the sales of US arms have been greatly reduced.

Even for the sale of Soviet arms, Roosevelt had to think carefully about it, so as not to provoke the Allied military bloc and cause a situation in the Atlantic that the United States could not cope with in a short time.

Fortunately, it is now possible to produce and sell the arms on its own, and the arms do not have to be sold, and the US government directly procures them to arm the newly expanded army.

With the army, Roosevelt had the confidence to lead the United States into the war. In his opinion, in terms of population, wealth, science and technology, and land, which point is not stronger 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, Roosevelt moved his mouth and opened his mouth, ready to announce the decision of history.

Since the report of the battle at Pearl Harbor came back, he had not rested all night, and it was only three hours ago that he had regained some strength on the way here, leaning on the saddle of the car and closing his eyes.

But the thought that what he was about to announce would become an important part of history filled Roosevelt's whole body.

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

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

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

"Yesterday, July 2, 1941...... This is a day of shame for the country that we must always remember"

"The United States of America has been subjected to a sudden and deliberate attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force! It was a naked and shameless sneak attack, and there was no note, no ultimatum, and just one hour after the Japanese Air Force squadron had already begun bombing Wahu Island, the Japanese ambassador to the United States also submitted to our Secretary of State an official reply to the recent letter from the United States to the Japanese side. Although the reply stated that it was no longer useful to continue the ongoing diplomatic negotiations, it still did not contain threats or statements of war or armed attack. ”

"Hawaii is so far away from Japan...... History will prove that this attack was a long-planned sneak attack after countless days and nights of careful planning. During this period, the Japanese government deliberately deceived the United States with false peace statements. ”

"But yesterday, the Japanese attack on Hawaii Island caused the worst damage to the US Navy and Army in 20 years. I regret to inform you that many Americans have lost their lives, and that American ships have also reportedly been torpedoed by Japanese on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. ”

"Yesterday, the Japanese army attacked Guam!"

"Yesterday, the Japanese army attacked the Philippine Islands!"

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

"Hostilities are already there! Needless to say, our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger! ”

"Japan has taken a sudden offensive throughout the Pacific region. But they have also enabled all the people of the United States to finally form their own unified views and realize that this has a bearing on our country's security and even its survival itself! ”

"I believe that we, the 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 own righteous forces! ”

"We now prophesy that not only will we do our best to defend ourselves, we will also ensure that this form of perfidy will never again endanger us! When hell freezes over! ”

"Trust in our armed forces, in the unwavering determination of our people, will surely bring us complete victory, may God help us!"

"I, Roosevelt, as President of the United States, hereby ask Congress to declare that there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan since July 3, 1941, when Japan launched its unprovoked and despicable attack."
