Chapter 1093: Déjà vu

Washington, White House. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

On both sides of Pennsylvania Boulevard, the American Stars and Stripes and the Roman Empire's eagle banner were flown everywhere, and policemen in police uniforms and horses pulled out a barricade at the intersection near the White House, blocking the crowds of welcome and protest -- they had come for Comrade Mussolini, the grandfather of fascism, of course.

He was greeted by the comrades of the National Fascist Party of the United States, whose leader, Lindbergh, had just spoken cordially with Mussolini at Union Station in Washington for a quarter of an hour, and Mussolini finally gave him a warm hug.

There were even more protesters against Mussolini's visit, some of them waving the red flag of the American Bolshevik Party and singing the Internationale, and they were supporters of the American Bolshevik Party, quite a few of them angry blacks, and still others chanting slogans such as "Get out of America", "Get out of Abinisia", "Get out of Sudan", "Get out of anywhere else" - this was, of course, a protest against the outrageous war of aggression waged by the Roman Empire against black Africa and the ensuing ensuing enslavement.

Of course, the Americans who welcomed and protested Mussolini were segregated by the D.C. Mounted Police. Otherwise, they'll have to fight in front of the White House!

In the current American South, there is a fight between supporters of the Bolshevik Party and the Fascist Party.

The voices of protest and cheers reached the oval-shaped diplomatic reception hall inside the White House, and President Roosevelt, who was talking cordially with Caesar of the visiting Roman Empire, smiled bitterly and said to the visiting Mussolini: "Your Excellency Caesar, is what is happening here in the United States very similar to Europe in 1917?" ”

"Mr. President," Mussolini shook his head, "you can save America, and the key to peace is in your hands...... With only the equivalent of $100 billion in reparations, I was sure to convince Germany's Chancellor Hitler. In fact, he was willing to live in peace with a large country like the United States, which was ruled by the Aryan race. ”

Mussolini took it upon himself to reduce the claims of the European Community by 50 per cent, although he was confident that Hitler would accept them. Because he knew that with the equivalent of $100 billion in gold, silver, grain, livestock, and oil, Hitler would be able to clean up the mess in Russia and Britain with ease, and he would be able to deliver on his election promises relatively quickly—the small goal of tearing up the Treaty of Versailles and dominating the world had probably been achieved, and now every family was missing a car and a big steak.

In the eyes of Caesar of the Roman Empire, about 80 million Germanic barbarians have been suffering for almost thirty years in order to dream of a world empire, and now they have finally made their dreams come true, and of course they have to live a comfortable life. As long as the Yankees are willing to pay for it, those Germanic barbarians must have no interest in fighting anymore.

In this way, won't the overall situation of the multipolarization of the future world be laid? Why are Americans so reluctant to pay? How could you New World cowboys outlast the Germanic barbarians of Europe?

Roosevelt spread his hands and looked a little helpless, "Your Excellency Caesar, I only have 6 months left in my presidential term...... This is a very short period of time, and there are limits to the decisions I can make during this time. If the German Chancellor is willing to start with a total truce and then discuss a peace treaty with no land cession and no reparations, I can persuade the Reichstag to support it.

Of course...... The United States also has an obligation to help Europe out of its current economic difficulties. I don't think a $20 billion long-term low-interest loan is a problem at all. ”

Mussolini frowned deeply, "So are the U.S. troops stationed in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, British Bermuda, British Trinidad, British Bahamas and other places going to withdraw?" ”

"The United States respects the territorial integrity of the British Empire," Roosevelt said carefully, "and is willing to provide financial assistance to Britain to rebuild its economy." Of course, what we aid and respect is a truly independent and self-reliant Britain! ”

"Mr. President," Mussolini shook his head, "it's impossible!" The Germans would never accept such a peace ...... They now have the most powerful military in the whole world! Now is the time when the German Empire is at its strongest, and if we can't find a way to pacify this powerful war machine, the whole world will be dominated by it in the future! ”

Mussolini was really in a hurry, Roosevelt appeared to be insincere about the peace talks, and the military power of the United States was not enough in his opinion to defeat the European Community, led by Germany.

"Mr. President," Mussolini said with an exaggerated expression of regret, "as far as I know of Germany's military might, war will have disastrous consequences for the United States!" Once Germany defeated the U.S. Navy and seized many islands in the Caribbean Sea, it had bases from which atomic weapons could be dropped on the U.S. mainland...... What the United States has to pay is not a mere 500 billion euromarks and a retreat from Australia and New Zealand! ”

Roosevelt nodded and said, "Your Excellency Caesar, I know that you are a true friend of the American people...... But America is in an extraordinary time, so that's all I can promise. If Mr. Hitler is not satisfied, we can achieve an armistice, then negotiate slowly, and hand over the great task of bringing peace to the United States to the next American president. ”

……

Mussolini left the White House disappointed, and Admiral Nimitz and William Murphy left the White House with William. Leahy, and Ernest. King, along with him, was brought into Roosevelt's office by Colonel Caton.

"Mr. President!"

Nimitz, Leahy and King all stood up and gave a military salute to President Roosevelt.

"Sit down." Roosevelt raised his hand and gestured to the three chairs placed side by side across from his desk.

The three admirals all sat down, and Roosevelt glanced at them and said, "I've seen your 'Andean Plan,' and it's very good, very bold!" Surprised, and right to the point. If this plan succeeds, we will win the war. ”

"Mr. President," Nimitz said, "the plan will be a success!" Because the Germans had no idea that we were going to attack from the Pacific. ”

"Even if they thought about it, it wouldn't work," Ernest said. "The Germans simply don't have enough troops to defend everywhere, and Chile has very rudimentary airfields, ports, and dockyards that don't have enough to support a large number of naval and air forces," King said. According to the information we have, they don't have any troops there.

So the Pacific Fleet will definitely be able to successfully occupy Chile, and then Buenos Aires will be within the combat radius of B-17 bombers and P51 fighters. ”

It turned out that the U.S. Pacific Fleet had not lost its vitality in the Second Battle of the Hawaiian Islands, and now they still have a powerful attack force, which is not at all something that a small country of Chile's level can resist.

Therefore, before the Battle of Midway, Admiral Nimitz formulated a surprise counterattack plan -- the "Andean Plan."

According to this plan, after the Pacific Fleet inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the Hawaiian Islands, it would send its main forces back to China for rest and recuperation before the entire Hawaiian Islands were recovered. After completing a short period of rest and replenishment, instead of going to the Caribbean Sea through the Panama Canal, it went directly south to attack Chile!

Immediately after occupying the northern part of central Chile, B-17s and P-51s were deployed in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and then used them to bombard the Argentine capital indiscriminately.

The reason for this is that the Americans are well aware that the Argentines are not very capable of withstanding war. They only felt that victory was within reach, so they followed Peron on on the adventure. If Buenos Aires is blown up to the ground by American bombs, these Argentines will definitely regret it, and then Peron's regime will most likely fall -- Argentina is not without pro-American forces, and as long as the Argentines taste the bitterness of war, the pro-American faction will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to overthrow Peron's rule.

As soon as Perón fell, the German offensive in South America was immediately drained. Despite the fact that the German-controlled Republic of Guyana is very close to the Caribbean Sea, it is only a few forward bases, and it is not the root of German presence in South America.

Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and southern Brazil are the ones that are fundamental (the region is now consolidated into the new Asbanian federation with Argentina at its center). If there was no oil and food there, the European coalition would have to worry about eating as soon as there were so many European coalition troops.

If all logistics were to be replenished by the European mainland, not only would a large number of ships be occupied, but it would also increase the risk of being attacked by American submarines because of the slow speed of transport groups, and troop carriers (usually converted from cruise and passenger ships) would be less vulnerable to submarine attacks because of their speed.

Therefore, Germany's military operations in the Americas could not be carried out without the support of Argentina, otherwise even if they were carried out reluctantly, they would have no chance of winning due to huge logistical pressures.

And this "dead end" is not a secret at all to the United States, which is familiar with the situation in South America and has deep roots in South America.

Thus, a frontal counterattack on Guyana from the Caribbean-Atlantic theater is not the only option for the United States to counterattack – although a successful counterattack on Guyana would allow the United States to end the war as a victor.

However, as soon as the war in Guyana began, it would inevitably lead to a decisive battle for the surface fleet that was not very certain for the US Navy, so it would be safer to attack Chile in the Pacific direction. If the European Combined Fleet is going to bypass South America to the Pacific Ocean for a decisive battle, then the US Atlantic Fleet will have the opportunity to launch a counterattack against Guyana!
