Chapter 969: Legendary Hoover
Edgar Hoover, a legendary figure who created American history and FBI mythology.
In 1924, Hoover, then a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, was appointed director of the FBI's predecessor Bureau of Investigation, and as a result, he sat in this position for half a century.
During his career, the United States has had 8 presidents and 16 attorneys general, but the FBI director has always been named J. Edgar? Hoover. He wielded power unsurpassed by any subsequent FBI leader.
Now, at a time when Hoover's personal prestige was on the rise, and in this eventful time, Hoover had to use the FBI to help the president, and the political dissidents and activists were his main goal, and he wanted to maintain stability in the United States.
No one knew that he was also collecting secret files on political leaders and using illegal means to gather evidence.
Hoover knew how to keep secrets, and that was the real reason for his success. Not only does he know these secrets, but no one knows exactly which secrets he knows. So, no president dared to fire Hoover, because no president knew what Hoover knew. This is the greatest intimidation of the president.
And now, Hoover is doing a good job in his place.
In later generations, the CIA was responsible for external affairs and the FBI was responsible for internal affairs, but now, the FBI has more tasks, and he has a lot of espionage work.
Originally, it would not have been too much of a problem for him to empty a site as a secret base for the development of weapons, but when there was a conflict with the local population, he did not react immediately, but reported it to President Roosevelt.
Roosevelt's brows also furrowed, this riot looked too unexpected, and there was a sharp sword in it, pointing directly at himself!
The attack on Pearl Harbor was actually a conspiracy? Roosevelt was already aware of the problem: "Hoover, you say, are there any German spies in it who are deliberately causing trouble?" ”
This technique looks familiar! Roosevelt immediately thought of the Germans, and strangely enough, he did not guess that the islanders had done it.
In Roosevelt's mind, he did not regard the island nation as an enemy at all, he always regarded Germany as the greatest threat, and now it seems that this is exactly the case.
"What we need to do now, Mr. President, is to quell this riot as soon as possible, if we hunt down German spies among them, it will only allow the riots to spread further, and once this argument is in place throughout the country, it will be very difficult for us to end it."
Roosevelt's brow furrowed even deeper, he already knew what Hoover really meant.
Whether this is a conspiracy or not, only a few people know, among these people, not including Hoover, but now, Hoover's tone is obviously already knowing something, this guy is simply a monster!
"Then you say, what are we going to do?" Roosevelt asked.
"This incident was caused by the relocation of the original residents of Oak Ridge, I think, we can suspend the relocation and let them stay there, so that the conflict will be much smaller, and we will secretly investigate the local residents and find the saboteurs in secret." Hoover said: "Let this matter calm down for the time being, but it will not continue to spread, and we must also pay attention to this trend throughout the country, and we must not expand it." ”
Let things settle down slowly, stop the relocation, this is what Hoover meant, in short, Hoover is not willing to take responsibility, once a fierce conflict is triggered, the FBI is responsible, if Hoover has to step down, he will not put himself in that situation.
"However, it will be our secret weapons research base." Roosevelt said.
"How secret? We have surveyed and found that the residents there are not as many people who have moved in recent years, but are long-term residents. It's just a small place in the middle of nowhere. Hoover said.
Hoover's words were even more like asking Roosevelt, why do you want to hide this kind of thing from me, what kind of weapons development base is it?
As a result, Roosevelt could only remain silent. This is indeed beyond the authority of the FBI, and he should not have known about it.
After a long time, Roosevelt finally spoke: "Okay, then suspend the relocation, but the work of secrecy must be done well, and the military will be responsible for secrecy." ”
Hoover also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's the best, then I'll go first, by the way, Mr. President, remind you, we'd better not let the families of those victims question us too much, we should find a way to divert their attention." ”
Looking at the back of Hoover leaving, Roosevelt felt that he had an urge to hit someone, this guy was getting more and more arrogant!
No way, the Hoover administration has been in power for too long, and in the past ten years, Hoover has obtained a lot of evidence, and even Roosevelt has always suspected that Hoover still has a photo of his wife.
It was taken when his wife was young, and if this photo is leaked, then Roosevelt will be finished, and the people will not accept a president with a wife, and the image of being close to the people in the past will be ruined.
The most frightening thing is that Roosevelt can't confirm this matter, and Hoover's means are really too high.
Don't think about these anymore, Roosevelt thought about Hoover's words just now, it is better to divert the attention of the people?
What can be done to revive the families of those who died? Roosevelt had already vaguely thought of something.
"Now, everyone, I have a decision to announce." Roosevelt said to the people around him: "If the island country dares to attack our Hawaii, we will also make the island country pay!" I decided to immediately organize a bombing of the mainland of the island nation, yes, the bombing of Tokyo, the capital of the island nation! ”
As soon as Roosevelt's words came out, everyone present was stunned, bombing Tokyo?
How is this possible! The B-29 bomber, which is now newly developed by the United States, is not enough to directly bomb Tokyo, after all, the distance from the island country is too far.
If the Mariana Islands, Iwo Jima and other military bases were occupied, it would be almost the same, but now, at most, they could only start from the bases in China, which would be too far away, and the bomb load would have to be reduced to carry fuel.
Moreover, the B-29 has not yet solved the problem of overheating the engine, the flight range is too long, and the engine is likely to catch fire.
"If we can take off bombers from aircraft carriers, it's still possible." "I've heard that we have a universal bomber that can take off and run very short distances," Marshall said. ”
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet still had the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier, and it should not be difficult to realize this plan to carry bombers and bomb the mainland of the island country.
