Chapter 065: The World Is Messy
Roosevelt died like this, which was surprising and shocking, Marshall originally wanted to keep it secret, but I don't know who leaked the news, and the secret finally spread out on the same day.
Following the footsteps of the newspaper, the Americans soon learned about Roosevelt's death, and the fact that he died in the arms of a woman when he was with his lover ** was also leaked, Americans don't know what to do at this moment, scold Roosevelt, Russell solved a large number of unemployment in the United States, Roosevelt's economic measures took the United States out of the economic crisis, and at the same time led the United States to fight the Axis powers, and counterattacked all the way to France,
According to the law, after the death of the president in office, the vice president takes over until the next general election, and the vice president at this moment is Henry Agad Wallace,
Henry Agad Wallace, a graduate of Iowa State College, became an editor and chief writer of an agricultural newspaper in 1924, and later became an agricultural expert, who experimented with high-yielding corn varieties and made a major breakthrough in plant genetics, and later engaged in the business of hybrid corn, which made high profits, joined the Democratic Party in 1928, served as Secretary of Agriculture in the Roosevelt administration in 1933, and participated in the implementation of "New Deal" laws (especially the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933) to raise and stabilize the price of agricultural products, Protecting the soil, stockpiling reserves, and controlling production was described by a colleague of Henry Wallace: "He always answered the calls of his colleagues who could not hear them." Wallace did sense a calling call: The Iowa-born son of the former secretary of agriculture said his greatest wish was "a safe world for corn growers." ”
Although he was not born as a politician, and the Democratic Party strongly opposed his election, Roosevelt still strongly supported Wallace as vice president in 1941, before the Pearl Harbor Pavilion, advocated a tough policy towards Japan, and after the United States entered the war, he also served as chairman of the supply priority distribution committee, director of the Economic Operations Bureau, etc., as the president's friendly ambassador, he visited Latin America and the Far East, met with Chiang Kai-shek in June 1944, discussed sending a US military observation team to Yan'an and other matters, and later suggested that Albert Weidemeyer be sent to replace Joseph W. Stilwell was Chiang Kai-shek's chief of staff, and although Wallace believed in the inherent goodness of human nature, he was unable to win the favor of his colleagues, and his involvement in a variety of religions, including Catholicism and Zoroastrianism, made many of his colleagues feel mysterious and uncomfortable.
It can be said that Henry is not a person that people like, especially his colleagues, but for the sake of the law and the general election in a few months, everyone tolerates it.
Churchill is dead, Roosevelt is dead, these are the two major losses of the Allies, Britain is sad about Roosevelt's death, the Allies have lost a great president, the United States has supported Britain, the British have always been very grateful, especially the British upper echelons have a strong impression of Roosevelt, it was Roosevelt who brought the United States out of isolationist diplomacy, if it were not for Roosevelt, Britain would not have been able to withstand Germany's iron hooves anyway, I am afraid it would have fallen long ago,
Roosevelt died, and there was a panic within the British government, for them Churchill and Roosevelt were their spiritual pillars, Churchill left early, and now even Roosevelt is gone, what worries them even more is that the situation of the war is not clear, the Allies now have no mainstay, where are they going,
George VI asked Prime Minister Attlee about the future strategy of the future of the country,
Attlee said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much, Roosevelt, but they still need the British Empire, if we die, they will have to face the Germans directly in the Atlantic." ”
George VI nodded in agreement, but he also had to worry about what kind of plan the president had in his heart, Roosevelt died, he knew that it was the vice president of the United States who succeeded him until the next general election, with George VI knowing, Vice President Henry Agad Wallace had no talent, and he was very worried about leading the United States against the Axis powers.
"Prime Minister Attlee, on the side of the Americans, you should pay attention at any time, their vice president may be difficult to control the military and society of the United States, and I am afraid that it will affect the overall situation of the world's anti-fascism at that time."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Attlee had the same idea as George VI, and he had to keep an eye on it.
In France, de Gaulle saw Roosevelt die, his mood was quite complicated, when he was in exile in England, Roosevelt and Churchill did not like him very much, and now these two guys died together, he can't say unhappy, but he can't be happy, now France has not recovered, there is almost a third of the territory in the hands of the Germans, and France's industry has been destroyed, it is difficult to recover in a short time, so it needs the strong support of Britain and the United States, and the wealth of the French country is blamed and plundered, All the treasures in the museums in various places were plundered to Germany.
France wants to restore what money has no money, no industrial facilities, de Gaulle is quite depressed, although France is slowly recovering, but where the Allies fight, where it will become ruins, to revive France in the future, can only rely on the support of the United States,
Although Roosevelt once looked down on himself, but after recovering France, he still took care of France, and now he is quite worried about the new president, although there are still three or four months left for the next election in the United States, but many unexpected things will happen during the world war in these short months, and it was only a little more than a month before Germany forced France to surrender, and De Gaulle had to worry.
In Germany, Hitler was overjoyed, and the three foreigners he hated the most, Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill, now that Churchill is dead, Roosevelt is dead, the pressure on Germany on the Western Front will inevitably be chaotic for a while, which plays a very important role in Germany's strategy,
Churchill died inexplicably, he was actually angry, and sure enough, the fat people were narrow-minded, and Roosevelt actually died by cheating, Hitler was about to lose his big teeth,
The German top brass was also very excited about Roosevelt's death, and the German newspapers reported it one after another, originally Hitler forbade those ** things to be published in broad daylight, but this time it was an exception, so the German reporters gave full play to their imagination and fantasized about how Roosevelt died.
In any case, as soon as Roosevelt died, the strength of the allies will inevitably be greatly damaged, especially the allies on the Western Front, don't look at them as a presidential cabinet system, or a constitutional monarchy, if it is peacetime, or a small-scale local war, there is no problem, but now it is a world war, and the situation is complicated, it can probably be divided into, the Anglo-American-French allies, the European Axis led by Germany and Italy, the Chinese Federation headed by the three Chinese countries, and the Japanese forces, the four forces are stuck with each other, It is quite possible that there will be new coalitions, and if the leader is not a very mature politician, it may bring great or devastating disasters to the allies.
It is a typical representative of forcing China out of the allies at the beginning, and if it had not been for the forced China out, I am afraid that the world war would have ended.
In Japan, Hirohito, Yamamoto Isoroku, and Tojo Hideki celebrated the death of Roosevelt, which was great news for them.
Roosevelt was too shrewd to be liked by the whole country of Japan, but the vice president was said to be mediocre in intelligence, and Hideki Tojo and Yamamoto Isoroku believed that extending an olive branch might be able to achieve their desired goals.
Yamamoto Fifty-six said to Hideki Tojo: "Tojo-kun, as soon as Roosevelt dies, the most important backbone of the United States will be gone, as far as I know, the vice president is not a tough hawk, maybe we threaten and intimidate, and after comforting and comforting him, we can take Australia down without a single soldier, haha......"
Hideki Tojo said, "Haha...... Yamamoto-kun, I didn't expect to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, I really had the intention to arrange flowers and flowers, and I didn't want to plant willows and willows, it must be the god of sunshine to bless the Japanese Empire, otherwise Roosevelt would not have died like that. ”
Hirohito's mood was much better, Roosevelt's presence was like a mountain pressing on him, and now that Roosevelt was dead, he felt the sun shining again,
Hirohito's face was filled with this bright smile, like a chrysanthemum,
"Zhuqing, God bless the Great Japanese Empire, this time we must seize the opportunity to take Australia, solve the threat to the west of the empire in one fell swoop, let the Great Japanese Empire always stand where the sun rises, and let the glory of the great god of sunshine forever nourish the Yamato nation, cheers."
"Cheers." A kind of military officers and government dignitaries raised their cups in their hands and said,
At this time, Stalin left a few crocodile tears, he was sad, but he was not sad for Roosevelt's death, but sad for himself, looking at the current world situation, I am afraid he will not have many days,
As soon as Churchill died, Roosevelt could only be seen in Britain and the United States, and Roosevelt was happy that Stalin died early, but China and Germany are now attacking the Soviet Union on both sides, and the Soviet Union is in danger of collapse at any time.
As soon as Roosevelt died, Stalin's heart was empty, and it seemed that the most beloved woman was gone, and in Stalin's eyes, Britain and the United States except Churchill and Roosevelt, he didn't look at anyone else,
Now as an ally against the Axis led by Germany and Italy, Stalin did not think that anyone was capable of surpassing Hitler, and could go head-to-head with Hitler without being defeated.
If Britain and the United States did not, even if their troops had already landed in France, but China fought against the Soviet Union, the British and American plans to land and encircle the Axis powers would not have any advantage, but the Soviet Union would be more dangerous, China and Germany are too large,
Stalin lit his pipe, he decided that he should think about the future of himself and his family, he did not think that this matter would run away, on the contrary, he thought that the time to go into exile was to better lead the Soviet people to continue to fight against the colonial rule of the Central German fascist countries, and he believed that no one in the Soviet Union could replace him,
