Chapter 896: The Edge of War (Added 2)
"For the sake of secrecy, you can also send some pilots to us for training." "After all, your pilots didn't have the technology to specialize in dive bombing," said Ciric. We can help your pilots quickly grasp it, and we also have to send some ground crew, and the maintenance of this water-cooled engine is also different from yours. β
"FΓΌhrer Cierch, Germany is really our best friend." Pheasant Fifty-Six was very satisfied: "We hope to order a hundred of these fighters." β
The overwhelming Stuka, with a sharp scream of death, dived towards the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, this scene, thinking about it is very intoxicating, Ciric is also very satisfied, he fully believes that under Stuka's attack, the United States Pacific Fleet, will be destroyed more completely.
As for the orders of the islanders, of course, they will be fulfilled immediately and quickly, and when the islanders get the price, I don't know if they will be surprised.
Also, if you train here in your own place, before leaving, you have to pay some food or something, and you have to get it, so why are you embarrassed to ask for more? I gave them too much, and I won't let them go back.
Ciric felt like a businessman.
At the same time that Pheasant 56 secretly visited Germany and signed a small order, the incident of the United States sinking the submarine of the island nation caused an uproar in the international arena.
With heavy steps, Tojo Chick appeared in front of everyone, wearing a military uniform, his chest was covered with various medals, and his eyes were crowned with round-rimmed glasses.
"Our submarine, sailing normally in the Pacific Ocean, and in a floating state, was besieged by a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, and during the siege, our submarine made an emergency dive and was subsequently sunk." Tojo Chick's voice was filled with anger.
"We want to maintain peace in the Pacific, but we have never been afraid of war, and until now, the US government has not apologized for maliciously attacking our submarine, which led to the eventual sinking of the submarine, and we will never tolerate it." Tojo Chick said: "We can completely think of this incident as a threat to war from the United States to us!" β
War threatened! As far as the island nation is concerned, there is no fear of war, and everyone in the island country will take up arms and go to the battlefield under the call of His Majesty the Emperor.
Now, there is actually a malicious provocation by the American side! This is absolutely intolerable for island countries.
If the United States apologizes for this incident and compensates for the losses, this matter can be passed, but until now, the attitude of the Americans is still vague and does not admit it!
Below, a large group of reporters are sensational, about to enter the forties, it is a turbulent era, island countries, is it going to war with the United States?
This is really terrible, the whole world, will be involved in the war, even the United States is not immune!
Some people have also noticed that until now, Tojo Chick's attitude is still restrained, which shows that the island nation does not want to be involved in a war with the United States.
The island nation has just lost the contest with the Soviet Union, will they dare to challenge the United States?
How to write this news?
Just when the reporters were racking their brains, the United States, on the other side of the ocean, also issued a statement.
Compared with the mobilization of the army on the side of the island country, the United States side is much more insipid, and it is said that this matter should be announced by the White House Chief of Staff, but now, it is only a staff officer of the Admiralty who has come out to make an announcement.
"Our navy, in the Pacific Ocean, has sunk a submarine of unknown nationality, and in the course of several days of pursuit, this submarine has exposed deep malice and threatens the safety of our sea transportation lines, and we have no choice but to protect the safety of our sea transportation."
"At the same time, we are here to state that with the recent international tensions, the Pacific Ocean is a submarine-free zone, and if a submarine of any country operates near the Pacific shipping lane, it will be sunk by us as a threat, and we cannot allow the tragedy of the USS Fox to repeat."
The Pacific Ocean is not owned by the United States, so why not let the submarines of other countries sail?
At the same time, only island countries can have large submarines deep into the ocean, and the naval strength of other countries on the Pacific coast is extremely weak.
The United States is specifically targeting the island countries, telling the island countries that the United States will sink them, and the reason for the sinking is because you threaten the safety of American cargo ships!
This domineering declaration made the island nation completely angry.
"President Roosevelt, on behalf of the government of the island nation, I solemnly protest to you, yesterday's statement by your Admiralty Department is a serious violation of international conventions, the Pacific Ocean belongs to the international high seas, not the territorial waters of the United States, and the ships of all countries have the right to freedom of navigation." Kichizaburo Nomura was wearing a suit with a serious face.
The two sides are no longer friends, and although they have had a good past, they must put their national interests first, and the arrogance of the United States has simply pushed the island countries to the brink of war.
"Freedom of navigation? So who will guarantee our safety? Roosevelt put it very lightly: "The first thing we want to protect is the interests of the United States, the interests of the American steamship." Just four hours ago, our naval formation, again expelled a submarine of unknown nationality, and if it was a little later, our freighter would be in danger. β
Roosevelt also had a serious face, I am in the interests of the United States, what is wrong with me?
"It was a German submarine that attacked your freighter, and it has nothing to do with our country, so you should know very well." Nomura Kichizaburo said.
"Really?" Roosevelt put down his cigar and flicked it twice in the ashtray: "We haven't forgotten the incident on the Parnet." β
The Pane, a U.S. freighter, left Nanjing when it was in response to the U.S. Embassy's departure, and then anchored on the Yangtze River, and as a result, it was patronized by the island's planes.
Along with them, a total of four American merchant ships, all of which were sunk.
After the incident, the United States was extremely angry, and under the representations of the United States, the island countries compensated for all kinds of losses, but only to compensate for the losses, and did not take any other action.
The island nation claimed to be carrying out indiscriminate attacks in East Asia and bombed British ships.
Moreover, after that, the rampant isolationism in the United States made the United States not impose sanctions on the island countries, on the contrary, the trade between the island countries and the United States, which is the most important trading partner of the island countries, has become more frequent. Almost half of the oil and steel needed by the island countries to wage war comes from the United States!
Just this year, the island nation has occupied the Spratlys, the Philippines, and the northern part of Indochina, all of which pose a huge threat to the United States.
When it withdrew from European affairs, the United States realized that the situation in Asia was becoming more tense, especially now, if the United States wants to continue to support George VI, it must ensure absolute security in Asia, and it is even more important to cut off the island countries to reach out to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean.
On the surface, the accidental bombing of the submarine of the island country seems to be an accidental accident, but if we look at it in the current situation, it is an inevitability of chance.
"We're working on more plans." "Now, I can give you advance notice that if the island nation does not accept our terms, we will freeze $130 million of the island nation's assets in the United States and impose a total embargo except cotton and rice," Roosevelt said. β
