Chapter 1196: The Gochburg Plan - Truman, the Man Behind the Pot
On January 20, 1945, Washington, D.C., was fortunately covered in a torrent of snow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe tall Capitol building has a somewhat hazy feeling when it looks like falling goose feathers.
Truman sat in the car, wrapped in a navy blue coat today, quietly looking out the window at the snow, and finally a hint of relief on his heavy face - such weather should be able to protect Washington from air raids, right?
He turned his head to look at his wife, Beth, beside him. Truman. Today is the most important moment in the lives of the couple, who will soon become President and First Lady of the United States of America. Since Truman entered the political arena, all the efforts, all the performances in front of and behind the scenes, have been aimed at one day taking the oath of office in accordance with the U.S. Constitution and becoming the first person in the United States of America.
But on the eve of arriving on Capitol Hill for the swearing-in, Truman felt a hint of remorse. He probably shouldn't have run in the presidential election, and maybe he shouldn't have gone with Barkley to embarrass President Roosevelt. If Roosevelt's wishes were fulfilled, a peace treaty should have been signed between the United States and Germany, and Dewey, who will control the White House, and the Republican Party, which controls Congress, will also bear the black pot left by Roosevelt.
It is true that the United States will go through a long period of suffering after the arrival of this humiliating peace, but American domination over the whole of North America will be guaranteed - which could not have been done before the world war! And the interests of the United States in South America are not lost all at once, because Germany will still face a lot of difficulties in integrating Europe after the war, and will not seek dominance in South America at all, otherwise they will not support any new Asbanian federation. Therefore, if the "Roosevelt Peace" is realized, most of the post-war South America will be the balance of power between the United States and Europe.
And with absolute domination over North America and the balance of power between the United States and Europe in South America, the United States has actually gained a huge living space, and its future re-emergence is only a matter of time.
But now...... The United States is making a gamble on its national fortunes! If it wins, the United States will dominate the whole of America and confront Germany across the Atlantic. If it loses, it may not even be able to hold on to North America, and the United States will be confined to the territory of the mainland and several Pacific colonies. And the amount of compensation will increase significantly!
Before today, Truman wasn't really sitting at the table with the fate of the United States at stake, but was watching how Roosevelt and Wallace bet. It's already terrifying to look at...... This gamble is really not fun.
Just before Truman left the White House (where he was still attending Wallace's last Cabinet military meeting before he was sworn in) to Capitol Hill, Donovan, the director of Strategic Intelligence, reported a piece of news that made him gasp: the Germans seemed to have a new trick up their sleeve to create a tsunami, slamming the beachhead of Trinidad with waves ten and twenty meters high!
According to Donovan's report, this information is very reliable, and the source is that the Soviet intelligence services and the Free French movement - their hidden agents in the Russian puppet government and the French puppet government reported this information almost simultaneously, and it is obviously very credible!
Not to mention whether the Germans will use such a shady trick to attack the coastal cities on the east coast of the United States (of course, this cannot be ignored, and Truman will have to study the matter with cabinet members and senior military generals after the inauguration), even if Germany honestly uses the tsunami to deal with the American troops on the island of Trinidad, it is enough to cause headaches. Coastal cities can also be prepared for tsunami bombs by evacuating some of their residents and installing anti-submarine nets (which are already in place). But what about the defenders of Trinidad and other islands in the Caribbean? Is it necessary to fortify all the beachheads enough to withstand the tsunami?
This president really doesn't look like a good job! Truman didn't want to take the oath anymore......
At this time, Capitol Hill was covered in falling snowflakes, and it was covered in silver makeup. But there were still many people in Washington, D.C., and supporters of the Democratic Party, who braved the wind and snow and waved American flags to welcome Truman, the new president of the United States...... I don't know if it's also the arrival of the last president.
Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives also gathered on Capitol Hill to welcome the president, because the U.S. congressmen were inaugurated earlier than the president, so they are all new members. Among them, the Democrats are no longer dominant. The Republicans are now the largest party in parliament, the National Fascist Party and the Bolshevik Party also have a fair share of seats, and the Democratic Party, although the second largest party, can only hold just over a third of the seats.
This means that even if Truman wants to bear the blame for the American people, he must get the consent of the Republican Party! And in order to get the Republican Party's consent, Truman and the Democrats had to sell out the New Deal -- not the Republicans themselves voted to veto the New Deal, but the Democrats and the Republicans joined forces!
This is a betrayal! The Democrats have betrayed its staunch adherents...... The consequence of the betrayal must have been the collapse in the 1946 midterm elections!
Once the Democratic Party collapsed, it is difficult to say whether Truman's president will be able to survive until 1949, and perhaps he will become the first president in American history to be impeached and removed from office......
Just as President Truman was panicking at the thought of the abyss he might face, the car he was in had stopped outside the Capitol building.
"Honey, we're here!" Bess. Truman softly reminded Truman, who seemed to be in a trance.
The door of the sedan was pulled open by an American soldier in full costume, and the bitter cold wind blew on his face, and Truman was suddenly a spirit. That bit of trance and pessimism about the future and fate of the United States also disappeared. When Truman stepped out of the car and waved at the American people who supported him, the cameras of the reporters captured a leader full of energy and confidence, ready to lead the United States to victory over all fascist and Nazi enemies!
……
"He looks like a winner!"
Adolph. Hitler patted the Wall Street Journal on his desk, and the newspaper prominently published a photo of "Truman beckoning", and somehow this sentence came out.
"The United States was the destined winner, but we changed our fate." Hersman, who had just returned from Petrograd, also said something that sounded a little incomprehensible.
"That's right! We changed the fate of Germany and Europe. Hitler nodded, and then changed the subject, "Ludwig, how was Rudolf's wedding in Russia?" ”
"It's much more elegant than the wedding in Heinsburg, and it's almost time for the royal wedding."
This time Hersmann went to Petrograd for Rudolph's wedding. The wedding was held at the Yusupov Palace, and it was extremely lavish and very high-profile. A horse-drawn carriage parade was also held, just like a royal wedding in Europe. After the wedding, Rudolph and his wife, Elena, went to Sochi on the Black Sea coast, where they stayed in a green jungle villa that originally belonged to Stalin, where they would spend their honeymoon.
"What do Russians think of this wedding?" Hitler asked again.
"Seems very welcome." Hersmann shrugged, "This extravagant wedding shows the wealth of Germany and Western Europe, and I think more Russians will want to come to us." ”
The wedding in Petrograd was paid for by Prince Yusupov - he was much richer than Hesman! However, the current Russians suffer from low self-esteem and always feel that their country and people are relatively poor and cannot be compared with the bigwigs of Western Europe.
Hitler frowned as soon as he heard that more Russians would be coming to Germany—a good thing, but Hitler didn't realize it now. Because the Russian nation is also a great nation with many talents, and their appearance is not much different from that of the Germanic peoples, and it is relatively easy to assimilate. If Germany can attract a large number of outstanding Russian talents, it will only become more prosperous and powerful in the future. As for Russian labor, that is also the labor needed for the construction of Germany and Western Europe. As long as the EC can extort enough reparations from the United States, the scale of infrastructure construction in the future will be very large, and a lot of labor will be required. It is certainly more reliable to use Russians than to use laborers from the Middle East and Africa, at least they are also blonde and white-skinned, and they believe in God.
Hitler, who did not yet know the value of the Slavs, brought the conversation back to the war with the United States. He asked: "The first stage of the Gauchburg plan seems to have been won, right?" ”
The Gochburg plan was divided into two phases, the first of which was the deception phase, which was to convince the Yankees that Trinidad was the target of the German attack, so as to ignore the defense of Newfoundland. And the second stage is the attack on Newfoundland!
Now all kinds of deception are being staged in turn, not only to deceive the United States, but also to the French, British and Russians.
In addition to the deception, secrecy was also carried out very well, and there were only a few people who knew that the real target of the German offensive was Newfoundland, except for the elite staff officers of the Operations Directorate of the General Staff who participated in the development of the plan, that is, a few who were eligible to attend the meetings of the High Command, the commander of the Atlantic Front, the commander of naval aviation, the commander of the Marine Corps, the commander of the submarine command, and several quartermaster generals.
And the intelligence analysis fed back from all sides shows that the deception has indeed succeeded. By now, Americans should be 100 percent convinced that Trinidad will be the place where fate will be decided.
However, this is not the whole of the "deception plan", in order to maximize the mobilization of the air and sea power of the United States, the General Staff of the National Defense Forces has also developed a false plan to attack Bermuda.
