Marshall, who was standing next to the radio, heard the news of the warning fire of the German battleships, and also heard the news that the American fleet had turned to complete and the German battleships followed all the way.
Now, German carrier-based aircraft were still hovering over the heads of the American fleet, but the sailors' tense mood was relaxed as the flotilla had begun to return.
"The German battleships did not continue to fire, they just followed our fleet and followed the ...... all the time" in the telegram, indicating that things were moving in a controllable direction.
For a few seconds, Marshall even wanted the fleet to actually sail to the Soviet Union, and he did not believe that the German warships would actually follow the Soviet Union.
But then he rejected the idea, because he was afraid, afraid that after the American fleet turned again, the German fleet would lose patience and open fire.
Eventually, Marshall intended not to do anything more and instead ordered the fleet to return to the United States. After giving this order, he left the telegraph room and walked back to Roosevelt's reception room.
In the reception room, the German ambassador was discussing the return of German-Americans to the war, and he was talking about the Führer's speech, calling on all Germans to return to their homeland to fight for the Third Reich.
Of course, Roosevelt would not easily agree to this, although it was not easy for the Germans to be used in the United States, but in line with the principle of not strengthening Germany's power, the United States would rather concentrate these people in custody than send them to Germany to finance the enemy.
"The Jews are evil and the main culprits affecting world peace, and our country is actively looking for ways to help the Jews to renew themselves, and the Führer is wise and rational in this regard." At the mention of this, the German ambassador gushed endlessly.
Before World War II, both the United States and Europe had anti-Semitic movements, and in fact, when it came to the massacre of Jews, the Soviet Union and its predecessor, Tsarist Russia, were also ruthless.
Although Roosevelt did not openly support the excesses of the anti-Jews, he had to admit that the United States was not friendly to the Jews before.
"Re-education through labor is an expedient measure, Himmler has gone a little too far in this regard, and the Führer is already correcting this." The German ambassador looked at Roosevelt and said word by word.
He saw Marshall come in, and knowing that the conversation was about to end, he hurried to say: "So there is a change in the position of our country on the excesses against the Jews, and no one can take responsibility in this respect that the Third Reich is evil and guilty......"
"Mr. President." Marshall interrupted the German ambassador's chatter and reported: "Our fleet has indeed deviated from course and has encountered the German fleet. ”
At this point, he glanced at the German ambassador, who was also a little nervous, and continued to report: "I have ordered them to change their course and return to the United States...... The German battleships, in addition to firing warning shots, were also more restrained. ”
The reason for saying this is entirely that the United States does not want to make a big deal out of this unreasonable matter, and what they need is a more appropriate excuse, a definite reason to send troops to Britain.
And not such a controversial event, which would only cause a rift in the determination of the United States to get involved in the war, which would ultimately affect the attitude of the United States to enter the war.
You know, the reason that we want to take revenge after being attacked by someone despicable and the conspiracy that we take the initiative to provoke and cause a tragedy are completely different endings in terms of the justice of war.
During World War I, the United States entered the war, and finally left the League of Nations because the "Treaty of Versailles" did not conform to the interests of the United States.
It is precisely because of such an incident that American isolationism spreads that the passivity of the United States has been caused today. So this time Roosevelt had to be cautious, and it was impossible to overstate it.
"Now that your country's fleet has returned, I will not disturb your precious time, Mr. President." The German ambassador, who also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, got up and said with a smile.
Just now, he was ready to be deported. In the event of a war between the two countries, he could not guarantee that all the people in the embassy would be able to get out of the way.
"Mr. Ambassador, I would also like to ask you to convey my position to the head of your country, Mr. Hitler...... The United States has never advocated the use of war to achieve political goals. U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt looked at the German ambassador and changed the subject.
He pressed his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair and stubbornly looked up at the German ambassador: "The United States deeply regrets the spread of the war to Britain itself, and hopes that Germany can restrain its impulses, withdraw its troops from Britain, and resume peace negotiations as soon as possible." ”
"Today's war is for a longer peace to come! The Führer longs for peace, so he will definitely end the war with Britain as soon as possible. As soon as the German ambassador opened his mouth this time, he began to talk about the scene.
These are the most standard diplomatic prevarications, so the German ambassador also came as soon as he opened his mouth. He said a lot, and basically said nothing.
Apparently, Roosevelt also did not intend to get the Germans to withdraw from the British mainland with one mouth. So he nodded, as if he didn't know what the Germans were thinking, and agreed with satisfaction: "Then I pray that Mr. Hitler will be able to end this war as soon as possible." ”
After the German ambassador walked out of the room, Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said depressedly: "Hitler changed his policy toward the Jews, and what we least wanted them to do, they have already begun to do." ”
In this way, Himmler was really killed by Hitler...... It's really unexpected, Hitler has become smarter. Marshall smiled wryly.
A tyrannical, radical and unstable Third Reich could not always make sound and rational judgments. No matter how strong such a Third Reich is, the United States will have the means to defeat it.
But if the empire suddenly becomes calm, no longer radical and no longer tyrannical, it is tantamount to maturity. Such an adversary is not easy to make mistakes, and the United States is even more jealous and afraid.
Compared to Germany's dominance of LinkedIn, Hitler abandoned radical nationalist policies, which was Roosevelt's greatest fear.
This meant that Germany could be more flexible in its policies and less resistant to the occupation zone, and more likely it would be to unify Europe.
Looking out the window at the German ambassador walking out of the lawn of the White House, Marshall leaned against the window and said to Roosevelt: "This time, we acted hastily and lost. ”
"It's okay! There's the next one! We have enough hole cards to afford to lose! Roosevelt cheered Marshall by saying, "In a few days, we will make a detour through the Danish Channel and then head south to England!" ”
This route is two-thirds farther than the original one, and although it is safe and easier to disguise as if it was going to the Soviet Union, the United States did not have a choice.
So there was this interception that the United States had to back down, which made both Roosevelt and Marshall regret it a little.
When this fleet returns, and other new ships are added to form a larger fleet, the United States will take this route that the Germans will not intercept.
Of course, the time lost during this period is really impossible to recover. The German Navy could not really attack the American fleet without reason, because Germany did not want to really force the United States into the war.
"Three days later, let the fleet depart, this time on the northernmost route, disguised as if it were going to the Soviet Union, and notify the British fleet to take over! If the Germans really have the ability, go and intercept it! Gritting his teeth, Roosevelt said hatefully.
……
"Führer, in the Atlantic, the American fleet retreated first...... The naval battle did not break out. "Because of the concern, the Office of the Head of State of the Prime Minister's Office got the latest news from the sea as soon as possible.
Rather than the current progress of German troops in Britain itself, Li Le was now more concerned about whether the United States was really determined to join the war.
If the United States is really determined to enter the war, Li Le will fight to suffer a slight loss on the Eastern Front, and he will first concentrate his forces to kill the Britain, who is still breathing.
He did not dare to risk the existence of Britain any longer, for he feared that the United States, with the help of Britain, would harm Germany's fragile rear.
If he only suffered a small loss in Poland and other regions, Li Le was sure that after the complete victory on the Western Front, he would turn his gun and give Stalin an unforgettable lesson in defense and counterattack.
With Libyan oil fields, Germany can tolerate even the slightest problem with Romania's oil supply.
Therefore, the confrontation at sea will affect Germany's strategic focus for a period of time in the future, and Li Le cannot ignore it.
"Hu ......" let out a sigh, and Li Le found that his palms were already full of sweat. It was his first real adventure since the time crossing, and luck seemed to be good, and he won the game.
Once the United States really entered the war ahead of schedule, Li Le did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to win this war, which had already changed beyond recognition.
However, it seems that there are still some shadows of real history in everything, and the United States really did not have the determination to enter the war at the beginning of 1941.
Clenching his fists and feeling the dampness, Li Le suddenly liked the feeling of manipulating history and mastering the future.
He is creating, or has already created, another history, an exciting and different history.
Just as Li Le was reveling in the different history he had created, Adrian knocked on the door of his office.
As soon as he entered, the head of the German intelligence unit stood up and saluted, and with his chin held high, he expressed his infinite admiration and admiration for the Führer: "Hey! Hitler! ”
Li Le waved his hand and signaled the other party to finish. Adrian lowered his arm, then took two steps closer and reported: "Himmler's family sent to the countryside has been found. ”

There will be a change in a while, and if you can't wait, you can watch it again tomorrow morning
