"But...... Mr. Calles. ”

After glancing at a few people in the room, Cárdenas already understood that today's meeting was a "forced palace" by the bigwigs of the Institutional Revolutionary Party against him, the president. He is ostensibly democratically elected, but in fact he is nothing more than a few bigwigs of the Revolutionary Institutional Party who pushed him to the front of the stage, using his Chapter 877 to tie up the millions of armed American ** teams on the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as the American planes that cover the sky. Cárdenas could not make up his mind to fight the United States.

And he has another hidden worry in his heart. What will China, Japan and Germany do with her after defeating the United States? If, as Britain and France did, the United States extorted a sum of money, then the United States would certainly have a day of revival in the future. As with Germany and China today, how will Mexico deal with the wrath of a revived America?

Looking at Cárdenas who was stunned there, Karles didn't know what the other party was thinking. Although their revolutionary institutional party calls for nationalism and takes "anti-American" as its banner, it is actually "American-phobic." The strength of the United States, which may not be well known to the European or Asian powers, can be a neighbor of the United States. Mexico is beyond comprehension.

If Mexico could stay out of this war and not offend the hegemon of the Americas, Calles would not have come here to talk nonsense with Cárdenas. However, the situation now does not allow for Mexico's neutrality, and she must choose between the United States and China, Japan, and Germany.

"Lázaro," Calles looked at the president opposite, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "This world war is a gamble that Mexico has to participate in!" We can only press all of Mexico on it. As for...... No one is absolutely sure of winning or losing. My opinion, though. China, Japan and Germany have a better chance of winning than the United States. Because, after waiting for Britain and France to succumb, the United States will have to face the attack of the whole world! Although the United States is strong, it does not have the strength to defeat the whole world. So, the demise of the United States is certain. Speaking of this, Calles accentuated: "I mean perdition!" And not defeated! ”

"Are you sure, Mr. Calles? What do they say? Cárdenas asked. He knew that Calles had secretly made a trip to Panama City in early May and had several meetings with Japanese and German representatives in Panama City, only to return from Panama. He began to be staunchly anti-American.

Hearing Cárdenas ask about the contents of his secret conversation with the Germans and Japanese in Panama City, Karles's expression was slightly gloomy, but in an instant he was replaced by a confident smile: "The representatives of Germany and Japan assured me that the United States would be destroyed!" After this war is over, there will be no more United States of America in the world!

Moreover, a full-scale attack on the United States would soon begin, and Germany would concentrate all of Europe's forces on the offensive from both directions, Canada and the Caribbean. Japan, for its part, will unite with the Central American Federation and us to invade the western United States from the long U.S.-Mexico border. China will attack from the northwestern United States and western Canada. So the defeat of the United States is already inevitable...... And only by joining the Axis powers and participating in the war against the United States can we Mexico preserve our hard-won independence and freedom. ”

Speaking of which. Calles glanced at Cárdenas, who was still hesitating, gritted his teeth and said, "Lázaro, I'll give you another explanation." Now 16 Japanese divisions with a total of 400,000 reinforcements are already in the Pacific. By the end of June at the latest, these troops would be able to reach Central America, and the total number of Japanese troops in Central America would be 600,000! With the combat strength of the Japanese army, it is enough to withstand 2 million American troops. Furthermore. As soon as Germany ended the war in Europe, they immediately provided military assistance to the Central American Confederation and Mexico. We in Mexico will have access to enough weapons and equipment to arm the 50 divisions of the army. And the Germans will also provide military advisers to help us train the army.

Furthermore...... The National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany will also help us transform the Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico, and Germany will help us build heavy industry. Our Institutional Revolutionary Party will also become a combat-ready party like the Nazi Party in Germany. And we in Mexico will become strong from now on! will ......"

"What ......"

Before Calles could finish speaking, there was an exclamation in the room. The Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico is on par with the Nazi Party in Germany! Isn't Calles, the leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the Hitler of Mexico?

"We will forever get rid of the present democratic system that has left the country in weakness and liberty!" Calles glanced at the crowd, suddenly stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "The defeat of democracies in this world war is enough to prove the harmfulness of this system, what we need in Mexico is a strong, militant system that can unite all the people!" That is National Socialism! ”

"And there's no other way out for Mexico!" As he spoke, his voice became gloomy again. "I met in Panama City with the German Foreign Minister, Mr. Ribbentrop, who had secretly arrived in the Americas on an Italian plane. He gave us Mexico two ways out. The first is to fight together with Germany, Japan, and China to eliminate the United States, the root of all evil. The second is to be destroyed together with the United States! Lázaro. Cárdenas, you're president now, you choose. Is Mexico going to survive, or to destroy? ”

Cárdenas glanced at the future head of Mexican and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Calles, you made me president, you are my mentor and the entire Revolutionary Institutional Party, and I follow your wishes...... The United Mexican States will declare war on the United States! ”

……

Washington, White House.

"Ernest. Listen to me, now American shipbuilders are in full swing...... Well, yes, to transform aircraft carriers with merchant ships...... It's already begun. By October this year, 30 10,000 to 20,000-ton merchant ships will be completed......"

At this time, President Roosevelt was wearing a dressing gown, holding a telephone, sitting in a slightly worn circle chair, and was talking to Norfolk's Atlantic Fleet Commander. Joseph. Admiral Kim spoke on the phone. Admiral Kim's tone on the phone was full of anxiety, and now there are only two battleships left in the capital ships of the entire Atlantic Fleet! If Britain and France were to fall, Hitler would have easily defeated the Atlantic Fleet with only the German navy. And maybe it will be the end of American history!

But what about Roosevelt? He is the president of the United States, not God! The industry of the United States is indeed strong. There are now more than 30 Essex-class aircraft carriers under construction. However, these warships could not be built overnight, not even by the United States. In order to obtain a usable aircraft carrier for the Navy as soon as possible, the US Government immediately launched a contingency plan after the Pearl Harbor incident to convert 10 large cargo ships of 20,000 tons and 20 cargo ships of 10,000 tons into aircraft carriers. However, it will also take time to transform the ships, and before the completion of these 30 aircraft carriers that are being renovated, the United States will indeed not be able to come up with warships that can be used to defend the east coast.

Just as Roosevelt was trying to cheer up Admiral King so that he could figure out how to defend the long coastline of North America from fascist invasion. There was a sudden knock on the door of the Oval Office. Hurried in was Secretary of State Hull.

Hull looked at the president who was on the phone, and shouted without etiquette: "Mr. President, Mr. Castro, the Mexican ambassador to the United States, has asked for an interview, and he wants to ......"

Roosevelt frowned, his face showing a little displeasure, but he still ended his conversation with Ernest . Admiral King's phone call. Looking at Hull with a somewhat strange look: "Cordell, what's the big deal with Mexicans?" He gestured to the dark night sky outside the window. It's the middle of the night, what's going on. Let them come back tomorrow morning. ”

"Mr. President!"

Hull gritted his teeth and said, "The Mexicans are here to declare war!" They have declared war on the United States of America! ”

"What! Mexico is also ...... Declared war on the United States!? Roosevelt's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief. How could Mexico possibly declare war on the United States? The country's industry is almost a void, its military is ridiculously weak, and its people seem to be particularly friendly to the United States...... Almost all Mexicans want to be Americans! How could this country declare war on the United States? How did the world become like this!

"Mr. President, President Cárdenas of Mexico has rejected our ultimatum to join the Allies and has declared war on the United States on this ground! Cárdenas had already addressed the nation of Mexico on the radio, and had officially invited the Japanese army and the Central American Federal Army into Mexico. ”

Looking at Hull's tired and grim face. President Roosevelt let out a long sigh, he had never thought of such a close neighbor of the United States as Mexico. And it is also a weak country that does not enter the stream, and it actually dares to declare war on the United States! Besides. This time, the United States offered unprecedented preferential terms to Mexico, not only supporting Mexico's unification of Central America, but also promising a $1 billion low-interest loan to build infrastructure, and even all of Mexico's military spending after entering the war was also provided by the United States...... Although the United States has used a little bit of intimidation, it is only to scare the Mexicans. How did they really declare war? Japanese troops were also invited to station......

"Oh God! The Japanese army is coming! They're about to attack the continental United States...... Quick, call Admiral Marshall to the White House! As soon as Roosevelt thought that hundreds of thousands of heavily armed kamikaze drones were about to invade the United States, an inexplicable panic surged into his heart, and he hurriedly ordered Hull to invite Marshall, the new chief of staff of the Army, to come to the White House.

This Marshall because in the Truk night raid some time ago, dozens of B-17 bombers of the US Air Force also participated in the battle. Therefore, he was recalled by Roosevelt to be in charge of the defense of the West Coast of the United States, and now he replaced MacArthur as Chief of Staff of the Army.

Marshall, who was notified, did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the White House overnight, and as soon as he walked into the president's Oval Office, he saw Roosevelt sitting behind his desk with a gloomy face, as if he was sulking at someone, or he was worried about Mexico's invasion of the United States!

"Mr. President." Marshall gave Roosevelt a military salute, then found a chair and sat down, waiting for a question.

"George," Roosevelt's voice was hoarse, and his face flushed even more. "Mexico has declared war on us, and the Japanese will soon be coming...... What are we going to do? Will Admiral MacArthur be able to handle such a situation? ”

"We should take the initiative! Mr. President! Marshall looked at the president, who was obviously agitated, and replied, "I believe that General MacArthur can defeat the Japanese army in Central America, as well as the Mexican army." ”

"Really?" After suffering a series of blows, Roosevelt seems to have some lack of confidence in the American team. He thought for a moment and said, "Add more troops to MacArthur's Chapter 877 regimental army, the total strength will increase to 60 divisions, and the armored division will increase to 8...... There will also be an increase in aircraft, at least 2000 units! ”

"Mr. President! I think Admiral MacArthur should be allowed to attack as soon as possible and occupy Mexico City before the Japanese army! Marshall shook his head in his heart, Roosevelt was now concerned about chaos, indiscriminately directing military operations he did not understand. Marshall paused and explained: "Actually, the Japanese are not very strong in Central America, and the Central American Federal Army and the Mexican Army are even more vulnerable, and Admiral MacArthur's 30 divisions are enough to defeat them. So, I think we should attack as soon as possible and take Central America before Germany ends the war in Europe! (To be continued.)
