In the first half of the 20th century, three world-class wars had a fundamental impact on the global landscape, and the fate of many countries changed. With its unrivalled comprehensive national strength, the United States of America, once pervaded by an atmosphere of isolationism, has become the new leader of the Western world. When the smoke of the European continent is rekindled, it will be difficult for them to stay out of the situation as before, and their position and choice will be crucial to the future of the war situation.

On Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives is about to begin, and media reporters from all over the world have gathered. They have different positions and different perspectives, but they are all closely watching the choices made by the United States at this important historical juncture.

As the meeting point approached, members of the Senate and House of Representatives walked into the meeting hall one after another, either walking alone or whispering in groups, and the reporters outside the cordon, who did not want to get the news until after the meeting, tried their best to get the news from the members, and the questions they raised were also avoided by the members who knew each other or did not know each other.

"Senator Smith, can I delay you for a minute?"

In the front row of the crowd, a blonde male reporter stretched his neck and shouted the name of a congressman, only to see the burly and imposing congressman stop two meters in front of him, and dozens of pairs of eyes nearby instantly focused.

"I know what you want to ask, I can't predict anything about the outcome of the meeting, I just want to say my personal opinion!" As the senator spoke, although there was still a lot of noise at the scene, reporters within at least ten meters were listening. And the people behind are desperately moving forward in order to fight for a vantage point. The people in front are trying to defend the position that was so easy to grab.

"This is our Declaration of Freedom!" The senator, surnamed Smith, held up the vintage vellum wrapped in a tether in his hand and said as if no one was around: "'All men are created equal, and the Creator has endowed them with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to pursue happiness. In order to secure these rights, men have established governments among them, and the legitimate powers of the government are granted by the consent of the governed. When any form of government undermines the achievement of these objectives, the people have the right to replace or abolish them in order to establish a new government. The principles on which the new Government is based, and the manner in which its powers are organized, make sure that the people believe that this is the only way in which they are most likely to attain security and happiness'. 173 years ago. The United States of America has been freed from the colonial rule of ignorance and self-interest, and everyone living in this fertile land enjoys the sunshine of freedom and breathes the air of freedom, which brings us infinite vitality and liberates our productive forces. Thus making the United States the most developed country today. In the current era of civilization, we, as members of the human family, have a reason and obligation to work for the freedom of all mankind! We are deeply concerned and sympathetic to what is happening across the ocean – 22 years ago, we defeated the German-Austrian Empire, which started the war; Four years ago, we defeated the brutal fascists who tried to turn the world upside down; One year ago, we renounced ideological antagonism and an armistice with the Soviet Union for the sake of peace in Europe; Today, we cannot remain indifferent to the outcry from Central Europe, and we cannot sit idly by and watch tens of thousands of innocent civilians die in war. We are prepared to use all the forces at our disposal to quell this carnage in a non-warlike manner. Of course, if all conventional means do not work. In order to avoid mass slaughter and death in our civilized age, I think we should reserve the right to go to war! ”

In order to? After saying this in a very smooth tone, the senator turned around in a dashing manner and walked towards the door of Congress with a steady pace. At this time, it is difficult to say who will be the brightest star in Congress today - Republican Thomas Murphy, who defeated Truman to become the new president of the United States. John Dewey, the leader of the Democratic Party who has a hard-line international stance and is unwilling to lose, Harry Brown. Senator Truman, or any other politician who wants to make a difference in troubled times, has had a clear impact on Senator Smith's personal capacity: some reporters are bright and bright-eyed, while others are worried and solemn. After World War II, the American public's views on the Soviet Union were very divided, and the number of sympathetic and even supportive groups for the Red Ideology increased significantly compared with before World War II. There were also many people who turned from neutrality to vigilance and hostility, and the antagonism caused some turmoil in the United States, until the outbreak of the East-West war and the US government's tough tactics bulldozed dissidents, and the former group was born, but the huge military casualties brought about by the three-year war made a considerable part of the American people feel deeply afraid of the Soviet Union's military strength. They would rather use the Atlantic Ocean as a shield to ensure the inviolability of the United States homeland than let their relatives and compatriots lose their lives for the conflict in European countries. That's why. The political stance of promoting integrity, fighting crime, and withdrawing from Europe was the basis for Thomas. Dewey won the 1948 election, while Truman, who sought to maintain armament and camp balance, suffered a crushing defeat. …,

As the doors of Congress slowly closed, media reporters and intelligence agents disguised as journalists from all over the world began a long wait, while European countries involved in or close to war awaited the United States' national decision. In Britain, Eed and Churchill were responsible for the Allied performance on the battlefield, and now the Conservative Anthony is at the helm of the cabinet. Eden, a handsome politician of great talent and eloquence, and a noble birth, was the embodiment of near-perfection in British politics, and his strong opposition to appeasement before World War II, and his advocacy of naval blockade and strategic bombing rather than land attack during the war against the Soviet Union made him popular in Britain. In general, the Aiden cabinet inherited Churchill's hard-line tactics, but due to the limitations of national and military strength, it abandoned the position of leading the way and supported a free empire that could cause big problems for the Soviets. In the recent period, the strength is still strong? p>

9. The British expeditionary force of five divisions was also on standby on the eastern border of France> putting considerable pressure on the Soviet troops from a strategic point of view. In a speech to the Diet, Aiden made no secret of his stated stance that a free Germany is more conducive to European stability than a red Germany, and that the resistance of the people of Central Europe against occupation is of very positive significance for the future of Europe and should be supported by the whole world.

Another heavyweight in the camp of the Western allies, France, participated in the war against the Soviet Union at the latest, but the army losses on the battlefield exceeded that of the United States and Britain, and even worse than Poland, which was destroyed twice, and the poor military performance led to frequent changes in the French government, the Socialist Party, the People's Republican Party, the Radical Party, the French People's Alliance and the conservative various governing combinations failed to reverse the decline, and when the Soviet army advanced to the Franco-German border in 1948, armed uprisings even broke out in some parts of France, After the armistice was signed between the Eastern and Western camps, the French government was busy quelling the civil strife, and the rearmament measures planned to improve the combat effectiveness of the army were postponed again and again, and the implementation of strategic deterrence against the Soviet Union was simply wishful thinking on the part of a few people in power. However, in the Far East, the addition of the French Asian Fleet increased the military strength of the allies to blockade the Soviet Union from the Pacific direction, and the French regiments recruited from the African colonies were also reorganized with the support of the United States and Britain, replacing the daunting French Continental Army as the claws of the Gallic chicken.

On May 12, 1949, the 10th day of the undeclared war between the Free Empire of North Scandinavia and the Soviet Union, more than 200,000 imperial ** troops who returned to Germany were forced to retreat to the western and northern coastal islands of Lower Saxony under the continuous attack of the Soviet army several times their own, and the battle situation was not optimistic, at the same time, more than 2,000 cities and millions of people in Germany on 350,000 square kilometers of land ignited a vigorous uprising. Armed rebellions against Soviet occupation also broke out in Hungary and some parts of Poland, and the logistical supply of the forward troops deteriorated across the board, and the morale of the troops declined significantly. On this day, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives voted on the war bill, and the opponents had a slight majority, thus vetoing the tough tactics proposed by some radical congressmen such as mobilizing the army and dealing with the Soviet Union, so that the United States would not continue to move to the brink of war, but another important bill was passed in both houses - the effective scope of the Lend-Lease Act was expanded from the internationally recognized legitimate national government to the ethnic groups fighting for justice, legitimacy, and legitimate freedoms. As soon as the Lend-Lease amendment bill was passed, the President of the United States approved special aid to the rebels in Europe, which meant that a large amount of supplies would be transferred to the Free Empire of North Scandinavia and the rebels in Central Europe against Soviet occupation in a manner approved by the US government. At the same time, the Allied Joint Committee once again urged the Soviet government to unconditionally fulfill the withdrawal clause in the armistice agreement between the two sides, and demanded that Soviet troops immediately withdraw from Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary and other countries. …,

In response to the decision of the US Government, the Soviet Foreign Affairs Department immediately protested and criticized in very strong terms, claiming that the US act had in essence undermined the armistice agreement between the two sides and opened a bad head for the countries of the world to subvert the legitimate regimes of other countries, and that US aircraft, ships, or personnel on land crossing the armistice line agreed upon by the two sides in any way would be regarded as a military attack on the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union would certainly retaliate in the form of war -- this was no less than a conditional ultimatum to war. Although the United States does not need to respond within a time limit whether to accept or not, it will be responsible for provoking war by transporting military supplies across the border. However, the Soviet statement appeared to be a deterrent, but in practice it left a lot of room for the other side, and just a few hours after the statement, Moscow responded to the urging of the Allied Joint Council, explaining that the unrest in the Soviet military administration zone had delayed the Soviet withdrawal plan, and suggested that the dispute should be resolved on the principle of respecting the will of the people, that is, a referendum by the citizens of Germany, Austria and other countries to decide on the timing of the withdrawal of Soviet troops and the retention or reorganization of the existing governments of these countries. To be fair, they invited Allied officials to monitor the voting process, provided that the Allies cease all acts of aid and support for the armed forces. (To be continued.)
