Chapter 854: WAR

"Actually, Mr. President, there's one more thing." Finance Secretary Morgenthau continued: "Even before the German Führer Hitler came to power, he had borrowed a certain amount of money from the big capitalists on Wall Street, and later, in order to bring Germany out of the economic crisis, Hitler borrowed heavily from Wall Street. ”

At that time, in order to save the German economy, Hitler's competitors proposed to reduce government spending, cut various welfare, and raise taxes, which of course would not be approved by the public.

Hitler did the opposite, he wanted to carry out infrastructure projects throughout the country, the government invested, and increased the employment rate of all kinds, Hitler won, he successfully led Germany out of the economic crisis, and the German economy developed rapidly.

Later, no one asked, how did Hitler's big infrastructure construction come from?

Part of it was obtained from the wealth of the Jews, and before Sheric intervened, Hitler had already received a large amount of money from the Jews, and after that, Shirek stopped Hitler's persecution of the Jews in time, and a useful part of them would stay, and many Jews began to donate money to Germany to tide over the crisis.

However, these funds were still not enough, and there was no money in the German treasury at that time, so Hitler was borrowing, who had the money? The financial predators on Wall Street, of course.

Over the years, Germany has continued to give benefits to these capitalists, allowing these financial predators to obtain a steady stream of wealth, but in fact, a lot of money has not been repaid.

Now, the Germans actually want to get the euro, so let the Germans taste the taste of repaying the money!

At the very least, it is a matter of course!

(In later generations, there was also a saying that the reason why Hitler declared war on the United States was to get rid of the money, in short, if this is the case, it always feels like the price is a bit big!) )

It was a night of restlessness, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night when Roosevelt came to the radio station and made a statement to the whole country and the whole world.

"The Truth Behind the Euro."

"The truth behind this is that Germany is trying to manipulate the world economy, trying to become the leader of the whole world, and Germany can't wait, they are controlling the whole of Europe, and they want to turn our foreign exchange reserves into waste paper."

"We, the people of the New World, are peace-loving, but when we look at a terrible enemy, growing stronger day by day, we must also be vigilant, we do not want to fight, but we will definitely not be afraid of war!"

"If Germany refuses to exchange foreign currency for us, it means war!"

ar! Roosevelt put this word quite seriously.

"Actually, Germany has already begun an undeclared war against us, the Germans are bombing our New York, and now, the Germans are in the Pacific Ocean, sneaking up on our transport ships." Roosevelt's speech lasted for half an hour: "If we blindly tolerate it, we can only look around us and plant all the flags!" ”

"And I am also unfortunate to see that Germany still has high borrowing in our American private sector. It can be said that it was our borrowing from Germany that allowed Germany to successfully emerge from the economic crisis and become the terrible empire it is today. ”

……

It's late, and not everyone listens to Roosevelt's speech, but it doesn't matter, at this time, all the major newspapers have begun to print newspapers in an uproar, and tomorrow's headline is ar!

The Germans bombed the east coast of the United States and sank American cargo ships in the Pacific Ocean, and the purpose of the Germans was already very clear, that is, to trap the United States on the island of America!

When the sea is cut off, what ability does the United States have to confront Germany?

It was a sleepless night.

Wichita Plant, Kansas.

The location here is relatively remote, and there are woods nearby, so to speak, the entire factory, which was originally built in the woods, after bulldozing several square kilometers of nearby woods.

The concealment of such a factory is quite good, and at this time, the tall building of the newly built factory is brightly lit.

If you have been to the production workshop of the aircraft, you will be shocked by the huge size of this kind of workshop, you know, the aircraft is large enough, and the production workshop should be able to accommodate more than a dozen, or even dozens of aircraft at the same time.

With a total length of several hundred meters and a width of several tens of meters, now, in this huge workshop, one after another B-17 bombers are being assembled, this four-engine medium bomber, which is the main strategic bomber of the US Army Air Force.

And in one corner of the building, there are two or three larger bombers, which are being overhauled.

This kind of aircraft, just looking at the length, is about half longer than the B-17! It is taller and at the same time, the nose is also quite smooth.

A large number of technicians were gathered around, some of whom had gray hair, and were gesturing, obviously at the level of engineers.

And these bombers around them are huge monsters with four engines, and in appearance, they are similar to Atlantic airliners.

Here, it's Boeing's most advanced B-29 bomber!

To say that Boeing is a copycat of the Atlantic airliner would be a bit wrongful to them, in fact, the origin of this bomber can be traced back to the Boeing Model 316 program, which in turn was developed from the XB-15 in 1934.

In 37, the XB-15 made its first successful flight, but unfortunately the power was seriously insufficient.

After that, Boeing self-financed and continued to develop strategic bombers.

Just this year, suddenly, the Army Air Corps invested a lot of money to get Boeing to build this bomber as quickly as possible.

Boeing knew that it was the actions of the Germans in Europe that stimulated them, and the United States needed a large bomber like the Junkers-290!

Since then, the development of the B-29 has entered the fast lane, and President Roosevelt has personally urged many times to ask this bomber to enter service as soon as possible.

"Using the scheme of the Germans, we successfully solved the problem of overheating of the engine, and in today's test flight, the engine performed well."

Now, it's test pilot Edmund T. Eddie Allen, who has been suffering from engine overheating problems for some time.
