The attitude of the leaders of several countries after Pearl Harbor is very interesting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The most important thing is the attitude and behavior of the heads of state who are driving the war. Even if there is real information, it will not work if it is not to the taste of those in power. All kinds of information will be collected through various channels, and one thing, there are more than two copies of opposite information. It is entirely up to the judgment of those in power to adopt that one.

Historically, many people have been incomprehensible about the actions of two people in the Pearl Harbor attack, one was Roosevelt and the other was Churchill. Roosevelt was in favor of going to war, but the public opinion in the United States was isolationism, and no matter who went to war, I would do business on both sides and make a fortune.

Naturally, those with vested interests are unwilling to fall out with the Japanese, and it is impossible for the US Government to go against the will of the people and offend Japan. Sensing the tremendous pressure of the war from Japan, Roosevelt did not raise his voice to call for war, but in the Pearl Harbor incident, he took advantage of the situation and dragged the United States into the ranks of the Allies.

This could explain the whole series of quirkiness. The US Pacific generals have repeatedly misjudged intelligence, and the president has a wide range of information and a high level, and failing to correct the Pacific Fleet's mistakes in a timely manner is a kind of taking advantage of the trend.

As for saying that it is a bitter ploy of the US government, it is very far-fetched.

Churchill's behavior was simpler, he was not like Lao Chiang. Lao Chiang found out that the Japanese army was about to make a move, and immediately informed the United States: Dude, someone is going to beat you, be careful.

Churchill received information from several different British intelligence agencies that the Japanese were going to have a military operation and that the target could only be Pearl Harbor. The intelligence was in the hands of Churchill and was not notified, or rather, not in time.

This is meaningful.

This old fox!

In Churchill's time, the declining British national strength was almost exhausted, and its national strength was limited and unable to compete with Germany. Later, a Japan popped up, and life became even more difficult.

Churchill, and the whole of Britain, were counting on the United States to enter the war. The United States just doesn't go to war.

For example, on May 15, 1940, Churchill wrote his first letter to Roosevelt as Prime Minister, describing the war situation and hoping that the United States would actively intervene: "Mr. President, I am sure you will realize that if the voice and power of the United States are suppressed for too long, it may not be of much use."

At this time, the Pearl Harbor incident came, and Japan stimulated the United States, and the United States had to enter the war.

Churchill's wartime diary, quoted in Gilbert's biography of Churchill, wrote in his diary that day: "I was never so shocked during the whole war, and the news made me toss and turn in bed." From the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, there is not a single capital ship of the United States and Britain, only the few American battleships that survived Pearl Harbor, and they have to rush back to California for defense. In this vast expanse of water, Japan has an absolute advantage, and we are vulnerable and completely exposed! ”

The path behaved in the same way as Churchill's.

Hitler reacted less agitated, and immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he delivered a speech declaring war on the United States, in which he stated:

"In fact, the Japanese government, after years of negotiations with this guy (referring to Roosevelt), finally got tired of being fooled by him in such a senseless way. The entire German people, including us, and the just people of the world, are deeply satisfied with this. In view of this, and in consideration of the Trilateral Agreement, Germany and Italy are determined to take up the mission of fighting together with the United States and Britain, to fight shoulder to shoulder with Japan to defend the freedom and independence of our country... President Roosevelt's foreign policy aimed at world hegemony and maintaining dictatorship was excessive, and the nature of the United States and Britain determined that they would not hesitate to take any means to infringe on the rights of Germany, Italy, and Japan... Not only because Germany and Italy are allies of Japan, but also because we have the vision and strength to understand this, at this moment in history, the survival or demise of the country may be permanently decided! ”

Xiaolu knew that in the next day or two, senior technicians of the US military would arrive at Pearl Harbor to investigate and assess the consequences of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Historically, after the investigation by the experts of the assessment, they breathed a sigh of relief and said: It's so dangerous, the Japanese didn't bomb the dock, didn't bomb the oil depot, didn't bomb the maintenance workshop, didn't bomb the spare small airfield, the Pacific Fleet's home port is still there, and the Pacific Fleet will soon be restored to combat strength!

Xiaolu can speculate: Now, these experts have concluded that the home port of the Pacific Fleet is over, and the possibility of repairing it in the short term does not exist, and if you want to attack Japan, you should use the home port of California and Washington State.

The use of the home port on the west coast of the United States and the long supply period will greatly limit the U.S. war against Japan, and it can be assumed that the Japanese army's operations in the Pacific region will be smoother, and the forces of the United States and Australia will be dealt a heavier blow.

This is exactly the purpose of Xiaolu, he wants to kill people with a knife, so that the Japanese can weaken the power of the Americans, and pave the way for China's post-war position.

Washington, D.C., December 8, 1941.

President Roosevelt gave a speech to Congress and asked Congress for approval to declare war on Japan. "Yesterday, December 7, 1941, it must always be remembered that the United States of America was subjected to a sudden and deliberate attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force."

"Yesterday, the Japanese government launched an attack on Malaya. Last night, Japanese troops attacked Hong Kong. Last night, Japanese troops attacked Guam. Last night, Japanese troops attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning, the Japanese attacked Midway. ”

"I ask Congress to declare that there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan since the unprovoked and despicable Japanese offensive on Sunday, December 7, 1941."

The conference was filmed by photographers and broadcast immediately, causing an immediate and fierce response across the United States.

The American people were indignant and suddenly discovered that the Japanese had become their greatest enemies in life.

Soon, Japanese in the United States were imprisoned in concentration camps, with or without American nationality.

Soon, people around the world got the news.

The people of the world have mixed reactions, some of them are greatly encouraged, and they know that the United States, a new force, is going to join the battle, and some are very frightened, because the Japanese even dare to fight the United States, and Japan is about to win.

Churchill said, "I can finally get a good night's sleep." Although this sentence is not found in the document, it can reflect his mental activity.

De Gaulle said: "We must have a plan for the liberation of France. "De Gaulle was now being splinted by the American and British allies, and without a single one of them put a high hat on him, he could not be happy at all.

Lao Jiang thought to himself: "Don't make peace with Japan now." The United States will support us. ”

Mao Gong knew about it and said: "There will be a great change in the pattern of anti-fascism in the world. ”

The Japanese base camp received a signal of victory: "Tiger Tiger Tiger." "This was sent by the Japanese fleet on the way home. The Japanese base camp was full of jubilation.

Japan immediately announced this victory to the whole world. Soon, the whole of Japan fell into a state of revelry.

On December 7, 1941, Japan declared war on the United States and Great Britain.

Yamamoto received a telegram of victory. However, he did not have the slightest joy of victory. Legend has it that he said to his subordinates who had come to congratulate him: "We have only awakened a sleeping giant." However, there is no verifiable statement of this statement, although it is repeated in an unknown number of books.

President Roosevelt declared war on Japan. Then, China and more than two dozen others declared war on Japan.

On December 9, 1941, the Nationalist Government issued a proclamation officially declaring war on Japan, Germany, and Italy. There are many people who are strange that the name of Lin Sen is signed on the declaration of war, not the name of Lao Jiang. It's subtle.

Proclamation of the declaration of war by the government of the Republic of China against Japan

(December 9, 1941)

The Japanese warlords made it their national policy to conquer Asia and dominate the Pacific Ocean. Over the past few years, China has continued to resist Japanese aggression despite all sacrifices, not only to defend China's independent existence, but also to break Japan's aggressive ambitions and safeguard public international law, justice, human welfare, and world peace.

China is a peace-loving nation, and in the past four years of the sacred War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan, the original aggressor, has been able to reflect on itself after suffering actual punishment. During this period, the friendly nations were also extremely patient, hoping that they would repent of their misfortunes and that peace would be maintained throughout the Pacific. Unexpectedly, Japan, which is characterized by violence, is obstinate and does not come to its senses, and even more brazenly provokes our friends such as Britain and the United States, expands its war and aggression, and willingly takes the lead in undermining the peace and justice of all mankind and carries out its insatiable ambition of aggression. Any country that respects faith and righteousness cannot bear it. It is hereby solemnly declared war on Japan, and declares to China and foreign countries that all treaties, agreements, and contracts involving relations between China and Japan are hereby abolished.

Proclamation of the declaration of war by the government of the Republic of China against Germany and Italy

(December 9, 1941)

Since the signing of the Triple Alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan in September last year, they have become an aggressor bloc that has worked together to help each other. Germany and Italy first recognized the puppet Manchuria, and then the Nanjing puppet organization, and the Chinese government officially announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the two countries. Recently, Germany, Italy, and Japan have expanded their aggressive actions and undermined peace in the Pacific, which is in fact a thief of international justice and a public enemy of human civilization, and the Chinese Government and people will no longer tolerate this. It is hereby solemnly announced that, with effect from 12 o'clock at midnight on December 9, the thirtieth year of the Republic of China, China shall establish itself in the status of war against Germany and Italy, and all treaties, agreements, and contracts involving relations between China and Germany, or between China and Italy, shall be abolished, and it is hereby announced.

Chairman of the Republic of China on December 9, 30th year, Lin Sen

On the night of the Japanese attack, Chiang began to write in his diary, and his first reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor was regret, and he felt that he should not have urged the United States too much to take a tough stance against Japan, so that Japan lost patience in negotiations and decided to attack.

However, on the day of the declaration of war, he gained a new understanding of the speed with which Japan attacked Western countries and the thoroughness of its execution. He speculated that Japan must have been premeditated and that after a long period of preparation, it would never change its mind because the United States sacrificed China's interests at the negotiating table.

China declared war on Japan on December 9, 1941, and although no one noticed it, and no newspapers or radio stations mentioned it, it was a declaration of war after all.

Historians are puzzled, why did China declare war after the United States declared war on Japan after it had been fighting Japan for nearly a decade. China is weak, China is difficult.

On December 7, 1941, Japan declared war on the United States and Great Britain.

On December 8 the United States and Great Britain declared war on Japan, on December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, and on the same day the United States also declared war on Germany and Italy.

Germany was dragged into the water by Japan.

Germany, Italy, and extremely client states declared war on the allies.

The situation in the world was completely changed by the sneak attack of an army and the operation of several leaders. World War II was fought in earnest.
