Hearty laughter rang out from the White House and the Oval Office, a rarity that had not been seen since the outbreak of the Pacific War. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the minds of those working at the center of power in the United States of America, President Roosevelt's last happy period was in June 1942, when the Soviet Union launched a war against Germany, and it went so well that Americans thought the good days of the Germans were over.

The person who visited the White House today and had a very pleasant conversation with President Roosevelt was from the Soviet Union, Comrade Livinov, Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs to the United States, and Comrade Bulganin, Political Commissar of the Combined Fleet of the Allied Powers.

The purpose of the visit of the two Soviet comrades to the White House was, first, to inform the Japanese side of the temptation of peace with the United States through the Soviet Union; the second is to ask for help; The third is to discuss the issue of cooperation in the Pacific War.

The results of the Panama campaign inspired not only the Americans, but also the Soviet people, who were in their most difficult years. The great leaders of the Kremlin were also happy for some time, because Stalin also understood that the war was now a global one. The two battlefields closely related to the Pacific Theater and the Soviet-German Theater were two important components of the world's anti-fascist and anti-Nazi wars. No matter which battlefield the final victory is achieved, the result will be the victory of the anti-fascist and anti-Nazi camp in the world -- the difference is only the quality of the victory.

If the United States wins in the Pacific, then the fascist countries of Europe, led by Germany, will face the encirclement of the whole world and, in the end, if not defeat, they will be contained.

If the USSR wins in Eastern Europe, then Japan is just as finished! With Japan's little bit of industry and that bit of oil, how can it confront the two great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union? It's a dead end!

Of course, the reverse is also true!

Whether the Soviet Union was defeated or the United States was completely defeated by Japan in the Pacific, the anti-fascist and anti-Nazi camp was tantamount to losing the war.

And Japan's trial of peace conditions shows that the era when Japan pressed the Americans to fight in the Pacific Ocean has really passed, and now the Americans are about to raise their eyebrows...... Moreover, Ishihara completely miscalculated on the issue of peace between the United States and Japan. This genius staff officer does not understand the Americans, and thinks that the Americans are interests animals who only know their interests but do not have ideals and political correctness.

Actually, the Americans are not like that!

In the United States of the 40s, political correctness was anti-G, anti-Nazi, and white supremacy - an America where all the yellow race is out, the blacks are sidelined, and the whiter the more glorious it is!

From a certain point of view, the United States and Germany, which is now in coalition with the Nazi Fatherland Party, are all the way (Germany also has racial discrimination and the expulsion of some Jews), and no one can say who is racist.

Now that the United States supports GCISM and the Nazis at war, in the eyes of the American elite, it is nothing more than letting two bad guys hurt each other. After Britain surrendered, Americans generally believed that there was no need to fight the Nazis for the sake of GCism, and as long as the Nazis were willing to retreat from South America, it would not hurt for the United States to make peace with Germany -- of course, after making peace, the United States would continue to support the GCDs in fighting the Nazis......

But it is impossible to let Japan go easily! The Japanese had the audacity to brazenly attack the United States and bomb the US mainland with balloon bombs. I want the United States to let Japan go, unless Japan can really kill and injure millions of Americans.

So what Hersman pointed out to Japan was actually the only way to live!

"Mr. President," Litvinov said with a smile, "the Japanese envoy said that Japan is willing to return the Aleutian Islands at once, to give up attacking Australia, and at the same time to ensure the independence of Hawaii by Japan and the United States, and also hopes that Japan will acquiesce in Japan's settlement of the Manchurian problem." ”

"Hahaha," Roosevelt laughed with his head tilted back after hearing Litvinov's words, "these damn Japanese devils must have something wrong with their brains, they must be a group of people with abnormal brains, otherwise how could they come up with such funny peace conditions?" ”

"Yes, Mr. President, the conditions of the Japanese are very ridiculous and not feasible at all." Litvinov smiled and said, "But we can't refuse it right away, this is dictated by the current situation of the Soviet Union." ”

Now that the Soviet Far Eastern Front has been moving westward, the Red Army in the Far East is no longer enough to deter Japan from cutting off the North Pacific shipping lanes. In this case, it was clearly extremely advantageous for the USSR to play the role of a bridge of peace between Japan and the United States. In this way, Japan will not only not cut off the lifeline of the Soviet Union in the North Pacific, but may also prevent the European Far East Fleet from going to trouble those "Soviet freighters".

"I understand, I understand." Roosevelt nodded frequently, "I will send an envoy to Moscow and meet with the Japanese envoy there...... We are allies, so we naturally have to cooperate with you. But the Japanese will not be deceived for long, because we will soon launch a counteroffensive in the Pacific! ”

"Soon?" Litvinov asked, "Didn't the Japanese destroy the locks of the Panama Canal?" ”

"Repairing the locks of the Panama Canal is a minor issue, and it doesn't bother us at all." President Roosevelt smoked a Camel cigarette with a nonchalant smile on his face, "The Japanese underestimate our repair capabilities, they simply don't understand how powerful American industry is!" These stupid people think that it will take us 6-10 months to build a few big iron gates, which is really stupid, and it will not take us that much time to build an aircraft carrier. ”

"And how much time will it take for the United States to repair the canal locks?" Litvinov immediately asked.

"3 months, up to 3 months." Roosevelt smiled and said, "The locks are two-way, so we don't need to fix all the gates, we only need to fix two of them, and the canal will be open again...... It's just 4 large iron gates that are 20 meters wide, 2 meters thick, and 14-25 meters high, and they will be completed in no time.

Moreover, the Panama Canal Company has a large number of construction machinery, as well as a special engineering team, and the repair of the sluice gates and the installation of the sluice gates began on March 18. ”

Six to 10 months was estimated by German and Japanese engineering experts based on their own experience, and the Germans felt that it would take at least 10 months for them to seriously repair the Panama Canal locks. The Japanese felt that their workers could work day and night for His Majesty the Emperor without sleeping, so they were able to completely repair the canal gates in six months.

However, at this time, the Americans still had a great ability to build infrastructure, and only China in later generations could surpass it, so the Germans needed 10 months, the Japanese needed 6 months for the project, and the Americans could repair it in 3 months -- if the later generations of Celestial Empire migrant workers were allowed to do it, as long as the dollars were in place, the work would be guaranteed to be completed in February.

So the Germans and the Japanese all miscalculated on the issue of the Panama Canal.

"Repair will begin on March 18, that is, will you be able to transfer the fleet to the Pacific Ocean in June?" Bulganin asked with interest.

Stalin had already decided that once the Arctic Ocean thawed to the point of being navigable, the Soviet Atlantic Fleet would go to the Pacific Ocean to maintain the Soviet Union's North Pacific lifeline and at the right time for war against Japan!

So Comrade Bulganin will not be long before he becomes the political commissar of the Pacific Fleet of the USSR.

"No problem." Roosevelt smiled and replied, "July...... By August at the latest, we will launch an operation in the Aleutian Islands. The purpose of this campaign was to ensure the safety of the route to the Soviet Union, so that the Japanese would not be deceived for too long, and they would soon find themselves in a catastrophe.

In addition, we hope that your Pacific Fleet will take part in the Aleutian Islands operation. ”

Roosevelt was using the Soviet Union as a pretext to accuse the Soviet Union of starting a war against Japan! He had his eye on 4 Soviet-class battleships and 2 Kronstadt-class battlecruisers. Now the United States has no shortage of aircraft carriers, but the only new battleships that can be used are 2 Iowa and 1 USS Washington. Relying on these 3 super battleships, it is estimated that they will not be able to defeat the 2 Yamato of Japan, and if you count the 4 Soviet Unions, then it will not be a big problem.

"Mr. President," Bulganin asked, immediately frowning after hearing Litvinov's translation of Roosevelt's words, "are you formally asking the Soviet Union to enter the Pacific War?" ”

"Yes." Roosevelt knew what Bulganin's problem was, he took a puff of his cigarette and said to Bulganin seriously, "The battle for the Aleutian Islands in August at the latest will be a decisive naval battle, and we will dispatch 20 aircraft carriers and 1,000 high-performance warplanes...... If you can also supply 4 Soviet-class and 2 Kronstadt-class, then the Battle of Aleutian could very well be the end of the Imperial Japanese Navy!

Japanese imperialism without a navy is a tiger without teeth and claws, and what awaits it is complete extinction! ”

"But the Japanese also had heavy troops in Korea and Manchuria in China," Bulganin said, "with 30 mechanized infantry divisions of more than 20,000 men!" ”

"Isn't your Far Eastern Front a million men?" Roosevelt smiled and said, "Still afraid of the 600,000 Japanese Army?" And you still have Chinese comrades, there are so many of them, you don't want to take advantage of them? ”

After listening to Litvinov's translation, Bulganin was silent for a moment before nodding lightly and saying: "Mr. President, our Western Front battlefield is facing a great crisis...... There is a high probability that the Germans will launch a powerful offensive against Moscow and Leningrad after the muddy season. These two battles are related to the life and death of our country, and it is very difficult for us to go to war with Japan at this time. ”

President Roosevelt smiled, looked at Bulganin and Litvinov, and said, "I fully understand your situation, so we will support you as much as we can...... Say, comrades, what do you need? (To be continued.) )
