Wake Island was captured by the squadron, Truman and Marshall did not have any reaction, Wake Island was just an outpost, but what worried them was that it was the Japanese who captured Wake Island, and so far the Japanese have not declared war on the United States,

Truman said: "Damn the Japanese monkeys, it's so hateful, they attacked us four years ago, and today they are attacking us, and it's even more hateful than four years ago, they have captured Wake Island but haven't declared war yet." ”

Marshall comforted: "Mr. President, it is also possible that it was not done by the Japanese, you also know the scientific and technological strength of the Japanese, their planes are much behind ours, but the air force that escaped back said that the other party's planes are not worse than ours, and the performance is better than ours." ”

"General Marshall, I think things are already very simple, at the moment the allies are weak, the Japanese wolf ambition wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, I am afraid that they and the Chinese have already been embarrassed, otherwise who can explain why there are so many planes bombing Wake Island at night, the Chinese only have three aircraft carriers, even if they secretly cross Chen Cang to transfer back the two aircraft carriers of their Pacific Fleet, they are only five aircraft carriers, but the Chinese aircraft dispatched this time have at least three hundred aircraft, And it's the same planes as our land-based aircraft, which means that these planes can't be placed in the cabin of an aircraft carrier, but on the deck, Marshall, do you think three hundred such planes can be placed on the deck of five aircraft carriers. ”

"In addition, there are so many planes on board, and they come to bomb at night, so how do they land and go back, it won't be just jumping into the sea."

Marshall thinks about it, now in the Pacific Ocean, except for Chile in South America, there are several small islands off the coast, the rest are under the control of Japan and the United States, and most of them are controlled by Japan, the Chinese only control the Aleutian Islands that extend from Alaska, it is obvious that the Chinese planes will not fly from here,

There are only Japanese islands within a radius of 3,000 miles, and it is obvious that the plane can only attack Wake Island if it takes off from the Japanese-controlled island, and at the same time it can land after performing the mission, as for why the opponent's plane is flying from the northwest direction, it is too simple, as long as the plane makes a detour,

Marshall is actually inclined to think that this is indeed the work of the Japanese, and the Chinese have no need to sacrifice so many planes or even pilots to seize a Wake Island.

However, Marshall did not want to clash with the Japanese at this time, and now China and Germany have made the United States powerless, and if one more Japan is added, it may really kill the United States.

"Marshall, this time we can't be so passive, I have decided to declare war on Japan."

"No, no, no...... You can't do that, Mr. President. ”

"Why, the Japanese have already attacked us, do they have to wait for him to take Hawaii before declaring war on them."

"Of course not, Mr. President, although it is very likely that they are Japanese at the moment, there is no valuable evidence that it was really the Japanese, so we cannot act rashly, if it were not them, we would not be in trouble."

Truman thought about it, today's United States is not the United States four years ago, how united it was, today there is turmoil in the United States, it is impossible to deal with China and Germany, the Chinese may break through Canada's defense line and enter the United States at any time, then the United States will really be finished,

"Then what do you say?"

Marshall said: "Mr. President, it is not possible to declare war, even if it is really the Japanese who attack us, then we should wait for them to declare war, not because we are afraid of them, but there is no need to be the enemy of a strong country when this situation is unfavorable." ”

"I think so, on the one hand, we will strengthen our vigilance, and at the same time let the ambassador to Japan test the tone of the Japanese, I believe that although the Japanese are shameless, but we will break it directly, they must not declare war."

Truman nodded and said, "If the Japanese really come together with the Chinese, then what should we do, they will attack us head-on." ”

Marshall thought for a while and said: "If we really want to fight, we will fight, we have no way back, and if the Japanese make any more demands, I am afraid that they will want South America or even Central America, and even more so the mainland territory of the United States. ”

Truman said: "Yes, it is true, the appetite of the Japanese cannot be satisfied, and if he wants Latin America, then we cannot agree, and without the resources of these places, we will not be able to sustain it." ”

"Mr. President, I am afraid that we must increase our assistance to Latin America, and at the same time help them train more soldiers, according to the personality of the Japanese, in the event of a war, they will inevitably attack the weakened South America and realize their continental dream."

"Yes, you are solely responsible for these things."

Latin American countries have an extraordinary relationship with the United States and have always been under the protection of the United States, and Truman's decision reached Latin American countries, especially those on the West Coast, on the same day.

Central America is okay, they have direct troops from the United States, or they are not far away, but Chile, Peru, Ecuador, far away from the United States, once Japan really attacks South America, they will be the first to suffer, and Colombia has a bad relationship with the United States because of Panama's independence.

But it's really hard to say whether Japan will attack South America, the reason why these countries did not become colonies before is entirely because the United States is not very interested in directly controlling these countries and making them pay taxes, and other countries want to South America, and they will be blocked by the United States, the United States has always regarded South America as its own backyard, and European countries must pass the United States if they want to finger stain, of course, France has always had a good relationship with the United States, and it has very large interests with Britain, so it will not take the initiative to offend the United States, Later, when Germany rose up, his position as the European boss was challenged, and he had no courage to offend the United States and make enemies of world powers.

And Britain was driven out by the American militia in the first place, and after the United States became strong, it was even more afraid to touch it easily, not to mention that for a long time, Canada, which was called the Dominion in the later stage of the British colony, always wanted to break away from Britain and join the United States, and Britain did not dare to let Canada be annexed by the United States for the sake of South America, which could not necessarily hide.

Although Germany is strong, the United States has already risen when he rises, and its strength is much stronger than him, especially the navy is not comparable to Germany at all.

And other countries, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the like are completely second-rate and third-rate countries in the eyes of the Americans, they don't have that strength at all, don't you see how Spain was bullied by the Americans,

Several countries immediately strengthened their vigilance, and at the same time invited the U.S. military to jointly defend against the Japanese.

Although the Americans have been oppressing the Latin American people, at least the Americans have only come to dump their products, and have not directly turned them into colonies of the United States; if the Japanese come, they can only become colonies of the Japanese, and the lives and property of both the poor and the dignitaries will not be guaranteed.

What the Japanese are doing in China and what they are doing in Southeast Asia is known to the people of all countries in the world.

The U.S. Air Force and some other branches of the military also soon entered South America, and Brazil felt the danger at the moment, and issued a telegram the next day that if Japan dared to attack Latin America, it would drive away more than two million Japanese in Brazil, and the Brazilian government in the world wanted to say that it would kill these people, but I was afraid that it would anger the Japanese if it didn't say so.

After the Japanese government learned the news, they were very shocked, and they were shocked not that Brazil wanted to expel those Japanese, but that in Japan's view, if they could seize South America, what would it matter if those people sacrificed, and it would be their honor to be able to sacrifice for Japan's territory.

What shocked the Japanese was how the countries of the Americas could have noticed that they were going to attack the Americas, did someone leak the secrets?

Subsequently, the Japanese intelligence agency Tegaoke sent news in the Americas that a large number of US troops were stationed in Latin American countries, and helped Latin American countries train their troops, and at the same time provided a large number of advanced weapons.

The Japanese side was very shocked, and in this way, the price they had to pay for attacking South America must be very huge.

"We don't have to wait, we will land in South America first, with our strength, even if we are not ready, those countries in Latin America are definitely not our opponents, if we let them prepare, even if we take it, we must bear a huge price."

"Tojo-kun is right, since they have been aware, we can only launch an attack in advance, with the strength of our Imperial Japanese Navy and Army, there is no need to worry about anything, what we were worried about was that the Americans would intervene, but today the Chinese Army cared about landing in North America, and now they are already attacking the hinterland of Canada, the Americans' first priority now is to stop the squadron, and the Chinese Navy has sent such a huge fleet to attack Hawaii, which will inevitably contain the US Pacific Fleet, We can rest assured that we will boldly attack South America, and the Americans will not have too much power to fight against the Empire. ”

"Yamamoto, look."

Yamamoto Fifty-six said respectfully: "Your Majesty, at the moment we can only risk attacking South America, there is no need to hesitate, the control of the Americans over South America has indeed fallen to the lowest point in history, and with the huge military strength of the Chinese to contain them, we can completely attack South America with confidence." ”

Hirohito nodded and said, "I am very worried about the millions of Japanese expatriates in South American countries now, once the empire goes to war with South American countries, I am afraid that there will be no way to guarantee the safety of the expatriates, and those people in South America will definitely kill them." ”

Everyone scolded in their hearts: "Damn, I've seen a cheap one, I've never seen such a cheap one, when you become a **, you have to set up a chastity workshop, good people let you do it, and you also sit on bad things, but you want us to take responsibility." ”

Hideki Tojo, the first elephant, must stand up at this time, and he said: "Your Majesty, there will always be deaths in war, if we don't do this today, tomorrow it will not be two million or three million people who will die, it will be the entire Yamato nation, and those expatriates will definitely be honored to sacrifice to save the Yamato nation." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, who doesn't want all the people of the Yamato nation to have big fish and meat every day, but the world is cruel, if we don't do it today, others will do it to us tomorrow, so we can only choose to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit and living space."

……

Under the persuasion of everyone, Hirohito accepted the ministers' plan to attack South America with a look of regret and pain.
