The information sent by Donovan immediately filled the originally gloomy and gloomy conference room with sunlight. Arnold also kept silent about the withdrawal of the air force. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now is the critical moment for the United States to win a decent peace! If Juan. With the fall of Peron's fascist regime and the collapse of the new Asbanian Federation, it will be difficult for the Germans to fight a large-scale and protracted war in the Caribbean.

"Air strikes on Buenos Aires must be maintained!" Wallace looked at Arnold and said, "At least maintain a massive air raid at night, and in addition provide all possible assistance to Argentine liberals." ”

"Okay, yes, Mr. Minister, the night air raids will continue until Peron is gone." Arnold replied immediately.

"Throw more leaflets," Wallace said, "and tell the Argentine people that the enemy of the United States is not them, that the enemy of the United States is only the Peronist fascist warlord clique, and that the United States is willing to help the Argentine people regain their independence, freedom, and democracy." ”

"Mr. Minister, do you want to mention Germany or the European Community in the leaflet?" Arnold asked.

According to the propaganda of the United States government in the past, the new Federation of Asbania was a tool for Europeans to colonize South America.

Actually, this is not a discredit, because "España" means Spain, and New Asbania means New Spain, using the same name as the historical Viceroyalty of New Spain. This suggests that the rulers of New Asbania did not want to sever ties with Europe, and that a significant number of white Argentine, Chilean, and Uruguayan people still see themselves as Europeans rather than Americans.

There was even a part of the upper echelons of the New Asbanian Federation (the pro-Peron upper class) who wanted to unite the New Asbanian Federation with Spain and rebuild the powerful Spanish Empire. And this is also what the Roman Catholic Church meant, in fact, Mussolini and Franco were manipulating behind the scenes.

Therefore, the efforts of the United States and the American-backed democracy fighters of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay to smear the new Asbanian Federation as a tool of European colonization have not yielded any results, and those who agree with the new Asbanian Federation have become more convinced of their view - unlike the situation in the United States, the Indians of South America have not been wiped out, so they are all evil colonizers!

"Don't mention it again," Wallace shook his head, "don't mention Germany or Europe, the liberals in Argentina shouldn't make too many enemies." ”

What he meant was, in fact, to avoid frightening the Argentine people...... Bombs and incendiary bombs were terrible for the Americans, and wasn't the atomic bomb for the Germans terrible? So piggyback on Germany and the European Community and dare to stand up against Juan. Peron's people will only be fewer.

"Okay, okay, I see."

"Besides," said Wallace, after a pause, "we must inflict a heavy blow on the Germans in Labrador, and Mr. President hopes that we may win so that we will not have to go to the Cattokting Lodge for the summer." ”

According to the original plan, the heads of the US government departments, the main personnel in the Pentagon, the US president, and the members of the US Congress will all go to Katokting Hill for summer vacation after the German troops have landed in eastern Canada...... In fact, this is the government and Congress fleeing Washington, D.C.!

And once the news of the "escape of the president and cabinet" is made public, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the American people's will to fight!

After the meeting at the Pentagon, Wallace and the president's chief of staff, William Brown. Raisi went to the White House to report to President Harry Truman and make recommendations.

At the same time, Truman was in the White House bunker with Vice President Kennedy and Mussolini's son Vittorio. Mussolini met and talked.

The level of secrecy of the talks was quite high, and only Truman, Kennedy, and Vittorio were in the Oval Office of the White House. Mussolini.

Thanks to the efforts of Vice President John F. Kennedy, a secret channel of peace has been established, bypassing the US State Department and unknown to Congress. By the Consul General of the Roman Empire in New York, Vittorio. Mussolini and Vittorio's father, Caesar Mussolini and Truman of the Roman Empire had established a channel of communication with Hitler.

Such a secret diplomatic channel is, of course, inconsistent with the relevant legal and political principles of the United States, but Truman had no choice. Because today's Democratic Party in the United States is an unprecedentedly weak ruling party, and it is also facing the crisis of division. As president and the natural leader of the Democratic Party, Truman could not take a wrong step on the issue of war and peace, and he could not even prematurely express his position on the issue of peace that he wanted to demand.

Moreover, at the time of the 1944 election, all candidates, including Truman, declared their opposition to secret diplomacy and black box operations. At the end of March 1945, the U.S. Congress even passed a "Foreign Diplomacy Openness Act" with a large majority, which determined that an open and transparent approach must be adopted in future peace negotiations, and nothing should be hidden from Congress and the people.

At first glance, this "open diplomatic bill" seems to be quite correct, but it puts diplomatic peace talks in a difficult position to move forward -- it is not that the peace treaty will be voted on by the Diet, but that the Diet will be directly involved in the negotiations. If Truman had made concessions in the peace talks that would have hurt American interests, Congress would have intervened immediately, and the Democratic Party would have split as a result.

As a last resort, Truman could only take the route of secret diplomacy and negotiate with Hitler behind the back of the Congress and even the State Department.

"Mr. President, I just heard shocking news." Mussolini Jr., speaking fluent American English, said, "The armies of the Germans have landed in North America...... I think you know what that means, right? ”

"That means they will soon suffer a crushing defeat in coastal Labrador in Canada." Truman said in a calm tone, "I firmly believe this! ”

Mussolini Jr. nodded, even though he was a fascist that most Americans hated. But when it comes to defending North America, his position is on the side of the American people.

"That would be better," Mussolini Jr. said, "and an American victory would help lower the asking price of the Germans...... But my father would like to remind you that the main danger to the United States is not on the inaccessible coast of Labrador. ”

"Everybody knows that." Kennedy chimed in, "But we still have to defeat the invaders along the Labrador coast...... This is also a fact that everyone knows. ”

Although Labrador is inaccessible and extremely inaccessible, it is the eastern coast of North America, and if it were occupied by Germany, it would be a great blow to the will of the American and Canadian people to fight.

"What if, I mean, you don't have to do that?" The corners of Mussolini's mouth turned slightly, showing a bit of mockery, "In fact, it is very difficult to defeat the Germans, at least no one has really done it in the past nearly six years." ”

"We will do it," Truman said, "and they will suffer a disgraceful defeat!" ”

"Well, in that case," Mussolini Jr. did not argue with Truman again, "maybe this is really an opportunity." ”

"Opportunity?"

"A chance to win peace," Mussolini Jr. said, "a crushing defeat would show the Germans that North America is not so easy to invade...... This will make them lower their asking price. If the United States had made some concessions, perhaps the ultimate showdown would not have to happen. ”

The so-called "final battle" refers to the Caribbean campaign or the battle of the same level. Mussolini and his military experts were not optimistic that the U.S. military would win such a war. If the United States fails, it will inevitably pay a very heavy price, and thus lose the possibility of rising to become one of the world's three great powers in the future.

Therefore, Mussolini's greatest goal for the peace movement was to bring about a rapprochement between virtue and Germany before the "final decisive battle" began.

Truman and Kennedy looked at each other, and Kennedy said, "Mr. President, I think we should avoid putting America in a big gamble of disadvantage." ”

Truman nodded, of course he knew that the battle of Labrador was only a prelude to the German attack, and the real decisive battle was still to come. And even if the United States can win the prelude war, it will be difficult to win the final decisive battle later.

"Mr. Consul General," a smile suddenly appeared on Truman's face, "just before your arrival just now, I received a report that there had been a large-scale protest in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and that the Argentines were opposing Juan. Peron's dictatorship! ”

Little Mussolini did not move: "Mr. President, I knew about this, I knew about it before the protest happened. Our Roman Empire in New Asbania was an intelligence network, and quite effective. ”

In effect, he was reminding Truman that the Germans had also planted a large number of agents in Buenos Aires, and that they could intervene in the internal affairs of New Asbania and nip the protests caused by the bombing in the bud.

But the Germans did not do so, and Rome did not interfere with the "democratic movement" in Buenos Aires. This is obviously guaranteed with absolute certainty Juan. Peron's regime will not be overthrown - Juan. After all, Peron's regime came out of the barrel of a gun, and as long as the barrel of the gun did not "change his mind", it could not be pushed down by protesting through demonstrations. And how dare the guns of the new Asbanian Federation oppose Germany?

But President Truman didn't heed Mussolini Jr.'s kind reminders, because he also believed that America's long-standing influence in Argentina was now starting to work. If the United States can win the battle to defend Labrador, Juan. Peron's reign could fall apart at any moment!

And then, it will be a good opportunity for the United States to win peace at the lowest cost.
