Japan's surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor caught both Berlin and Washington by surprise - despite Hitler's verbal promise to Japan that Germany would enter Japan's war against the United States, and Ribbentrop's assurances to the Japanese ambassador to Berlin Oshima. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this guarantee was not signed, and the Japanese side did not reveal to the Germans the slightest rumor about the attack on Pearl Harbor, which would have annoyed Hitler.

Hitler would have been so busy trying to reorganize his exhausted generals and besieged troops on the Russian battlefield -- how would he face the current complications?!

By the time the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor was heard on the American radio, it was already night in Berlin: the Reich Foreign Office Information Department called Ribbentrop and told him the world-shaking news - Ribbentrop was not convinced at first, but lost his temper and said: "It is probably a propaganda trick played by the enemy"!

"Don't wake me up until dawn!"

Ribbentrop always thought that Japan might attack Singapore or Hong Kong, but he never thought that Japan would attack the United States - the foreign ministers of the Third Reich knew very well that an attack on the United States would be very bad for both Japan and Germany!

Hitler was in the wolf's den, and after a furious meal, he rushed back to Berlin overnight, arriving at 11 o'clock the next morning.

Under the terms of the Triple Treaty, Germany, faced with the current situation, did not necessarily have to declare war on the United States, because Japan was clearly the aggressor: the terms of the Triple Treaty stipulated that Germany would only come to Japan's aid if it itself was attacked.

Ribbentrop was in a good mood, and he was still a little happy about Japan's war against the United States (ambivalent) - Germany welcomed a new ally in the war against England;

But if war were to be declared on the United States, it would mean that Germany would have to deal with a new adversary: apparently there were some differences of opinion between the foreign ministers and the Führers of the Third Reich.

Ribbentrop told Hitler that under the terms of the Triple Pact, since it was Japan that launched the attack, there was no need for Germany to formally declare war on the United States.

"If we were not on the side of Japan," said Hitler with a gloomy face, "politically speaking, the treaty would not exist." But that's not the main reason. The main thing is that the United States is already firing at our ships, they have always been a powerful factor in this war, and as a result of their actions, they have long created a situation in the war! ”

Hitler believed that it was obvious that the United States was now going to war against Germany, and that the bold attacks of the Japanese had pushed both Germany and the United States to a position where there was no second option.

And in the distant United States, Roosevelt was delivering his proclamation to lawmakers: "Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and House of Representatives,

Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a day of shame that must always be remembered - the United States of America was struck by a sudden and deliberate attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force.

The United States and Japan are living in peace and are continuing to hold talks with their Government and the Emperor at Japan's request with a view to maintaining peace in the Pacific......

No matter how long it will take to defeat this premeditated invasion, the American people will win an absolute victory with their own righteous forces.

Hostilities already exist. Needless to say, our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

Trust in our armed forces - by the firm determination of our people - we will achieve a certain victory, God help us!

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 attack on Sunday, December 7, 1941.

Roosevelt received a round of applause from the audience and the end of American isolationism.

Hitler had a premonition that Roosevelt in Washington was waiting for his response -- that after the declaration of war on Japan, the president of the United States was under pressure from all sides (I really don't know if it was from home or abroad, if it was domestic, it would be a great irony for a large part of the politicians in the United States!). He was asked to get the Reichstag to pass a resolution declaring war on Germany and Italy.

But Roosevelt decided to wait: the bombing of Pearl Harbor had freed the United States from one shackle to declare war, and now he had intelligence at hand that convinced him that the Nazi dictator would untie him another.

Roosevelt and Washington knew that Germany had written a blank check to Japan, but the United States must have thought that the Japanese must be shouting in Berlin at this moment!

The cheque was finally cashed, and it was cashed after Hitler's hesitation again.

On 9 December, the day Hitler returned to Berlin, he ordered the Reichstag to be convened, but it was postponed for two more days until the 11th.

Hitler had made up his mind, he was fed up with Roosevelt's attacks on him and Nazism; He could no longer tolerate the U.S. Navy's war operations against German submarines in the Atlantic, and Raeder had been nagging him about it for almost a year.

Hitler's growing hatred of the United States and the Americans, he would have clearly underestimated the potential power of the United States and greatly overestimated the military power of Japan. Hitler really believed that once Japan, with its "strongest navy in the world", had cleaned up Britain and the United States in the Pacific, it would turn around and attack Russia to help him complete the great cause of conquering the East.

Hitler also had a deep-seated desire for prestige: it was up to him to declare war on the United States first! Even on December 10, Hitler was deeply afraid that the United States would declare war first!

On 9 December, Dirkhoff, the former German ambassador to the United States, drew up a lengthy list of Roosevelt's anti-German activities for Hitler to use in his speech to the Reichstag.

On December 11, Hitler addressed the robotic lawmakers in Congress, accusing the President of the United States of provoking war to cover up the failure of the New Deal.

"Only this man (Roosevelt), who was supported by millionaires and Jews, was responsible for the Second World War!"

Hitler's long-standing indignation against Roosevelt has finally burst into rage! Roosevelt, like Stalin, blocked the path of Hitler's strategic development from beginning to end - Roosevelt came to the aid of the British Isles when it was under heavy blow and in danger;

This man's navy has made him repeatedly frustrated in the Atlantic!

"Let me now make clear my attitude towards the other half of the world, represented by this man [Roosevelt]: a man who is cunningly fond of fireside chats while our troops are fighting in the snow and ice, and this man is the number one criminal in this war...... I dismiss the insulting attacks made against me by this man who calls me President. He called me a bandit, and it was so boring! In the final analysis, the term was undoubtedly coined not in Europe, but in the Americas, because there are no such bandits here in Europe. Besides, I am not something that Roosevelt can insult, because I think he is a madman, a madman like Wilson......

He began by fomenting war, then reversing right and wrong, and then covering himself shamefully under the cloak of Christian hypocrisy, and then slowly and surely leading humanity to war, and swearing to God to justify his attacks on others. -- It was exactly the same as the Freemasons used to do in the past......

For many years, Germany and Italy, despite the intolerable provocations of President Roosevelt, had made sincere efforts to prevent the expansion of the war and to maintain relations with the United States, which had now failed. What was Roosevelt's motive for fanning anti-German sentiment to the height of the war?!

I deeply understand that Roosevelt's thinking was very different from mine. Roosevelt came from a wealthy family, and the class he belonged to had a smooth sailing path in a democracy. I was just a kid from a poor family, and I had to work hard to find a way out.

At the outbreak of World War I, Roosevelt's position made him aware only of the benefits of war, which were enjoyed by those who did a big business while others shed blood. I was just an ordinary soldier who carried out orders, and when I returned from demobilization after the war, I was naturally as destitute as I was in the autumn of 1914. I shared the fate of millions of people, and Franklin D. Roosevelt shared the fate of the so-called "10,000 people from above". After the war, Roosevelt engaged in financial speculation. He profites from inflation, from the misfortunes of others, and me?! Lying in the hospital......

The President of the United States is increasingly committed to creating conflicts, and for many years this man has only one hope: a conflict somewhere in the world! ……

"We will always strike first," Hitler said to the cheering parliamentarians, "and we will always strike first!" ”

The MPs of the Third Reich jumped to their feet and cheered loudly! The words of the Reich Führer were drowned out in a frenzied noise!

Not long after, at half past two in the afternoon, Ribbentrop met with the American chargé d'affaires in Berlin, Leland Maurice, with the utmost indifference: he made Maurice stand, listened to him read out the German declaration of war, gave him a copy, and sent him away.

The Germans declared war on the United States first, in line with Hitler's character.

Lin Jun heard the live broadcast of Hitler's speech on Nazi radio on the radio, and he had seen the translation of Roosevelt's speech in Congress before, and he had stopped recording in his "previous life".

He was at the headquarters in Kobets, and the business jet on the tarmac was ready to go.

"Obviously, comrades, Hitler's speech was of a very good level, but it was too trivial. However, I have to admit that Hitler was an extremely brilliant orator, much more brilliant than Roosevelt! ”

The translator literally translated Hitler's speech on the radio, and although it was impossible for the interpreter to express Hitler's unique speech momentum, Hitler's voice could make Lin Jun feel the aggressive and incendiary tone.

As he ascended the ramp of the plane, Gusev noticed that the lieutenant commander's right hand was constantly playing with a rifle bullet and an intermediate power rifle round used by the AK47.

(I'm busy with work today, it's just one chapter, and it's still a chapter with a bit of a textbook flavor: a small connection point, and tomorrow I will return to the "standard novelization" chapter, strive for a large chapter, and also have a "affordable" chapter like the previous chapters: make an eight-thousand-eight, seven-thousand-eighty-nine or something, realistic.) This fraction plus a little bit is a bit picky, let's be kind, no, hehe.
