Chapter 660: Is It Bitter Meat?

The White House, USA

"Squeak......

The door was gently opened, and in came the head of the CIA, Jim.

The small dining room is obviously decorated with warm and pleasant decorations, the walls are decorated with pale yellow wallpaper, the room is decorated with old-fashioned furniture collected by previous presidents, and in the center of the dining room is a rectangular dining table, in the center of which is Roosevelt in a wheelchair, who is obviously finished his breakfast, and at this moment a stack of newspapers is on his lap, and Roosevelt, with a pair of glasses, is looking intently.

"It's the same old again, the life of an American boy is the most precious, and he can't fall into the swamp of World War I again!"

Roosevelt put down the newspaper and scolded in a low voice: "Even the Germans and the Chinese know that they are rushing to carve up the big cake of Soviet Russia and are desperate for this cake." But some people dream that cakes can fall from the sky all day long, and they think that there is such a thing in this world as a thing that is not earned for nothing? ”

Roosevelt, who took off his glasses, gently rubbed his tired eyes, shook his head and lay on the backrest of the backrest, he was more and more dissatisfied with the isolationist congressmen in China, thinking that with the protection of the two oceans, the United States could sit back and relax, but he didn't know where in the world there were insurmountable moats and barriers, the only difference was the time when it was breached.

"I'm sorry Mr. President, excuse me." Jim walked up to Roosevelt and said, "This is the information that our agents sent back from Japan, and this is the intelligence sent to us by the intelligence agencies in China through their embassy, and here is the analysis and summary of this information by our analysts, I think it is necessary for you to take a detailed look at it." Jim handed Roosevelt a folder with both hands.

"Thank you, Jim." Roosevelt gently took the folders and looked at them one by one, closed the folders for a long time, and muttered for a long time before saying, "Has the accuracy of the information been verified?" ”

"It's verified, Mr. President." Jim said quietly.

"Even the Huaxia people have come to the alarm?" Roosevelt raised his hands and gently rubbed the sun on both sides, Jim didn't dare to make a noise to disturb him, he knew that this was the symptom of the president's thinking.

After a while, Roosevelt paused and said, "Jim, it is not at all surprising that the Japanese would attack our country suddenly, because according to estimates, the Japanese have run out of oil and resources left, and if they do not find new energy sources as soon as possible, their warships and automobiles will have to stop within a year." But what puzzles me is why the Chinese people also give our country an alarm? ”

Jim shook his head, "Mr. President, this is also something I can't understand, according to normal logic, even if Huaxia knows that the Japanese are going to attack us, they don't need to inform us, if I am the president of Huaxia, I will pretend that I don't know anything, and then use the hands of the Japanese to consume our strength, which is in the interests of their country!" ”

"So that's why you're not the president of Huaxia, but just the director of the CIA." Roosevelt made a little joke.

"Perhaps the president of Huaxia wants to ease relations with our country in this way, you must know that their relations with Germany are not as good as they used to be, and they are in dire need of an ally now, you say?" Jim thought about it for a long time to get this result.

"I don't understand it now, you have to know that you should never use the thinking of Westerners to figure out the thinking of Orientals." Roosevelt shook his head.

"Well, I'll admit that I'll never know those Orientals." Jim shrugged.

Roosevelt thought for a moment and asked, "Have you estimated the target of the Japanese attack?" ”

"It has been determined, judging from the communication cables of the Japanese that we intercepted before, their target of attack and the target provided by the Chinese are all pointing to the same place, that is, Pearl Harbor, the headquarters of our Pacific Fleet."

"Pearl Harbor" Roosevelt pondered, and the room fell silent again

Nanjing Presidential Palace

"Jianming, why do you want to reveal the possibility of the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor to the Americans, isn't it good that you can use the hands of the Japanese to consume the strength of the Americans?" In the office, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Jiang Baili and others were awe-inspiring.

Su Tong sat in the soft leather sand, and a coffee table full of antique flavor was placed in a corner of the office, where four grandmothers sat on the four broken sands in today's Chinese political arena.

Su Tong stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea for Bai Chongxi, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiansheng, let me ask you a question first, what do you say Roosevelt will react to when he learns the news?" ”

Bai Chongxi said without thinking: "Needless to say, of course it is to pull his Pacific Fleet out to fight with the Japanese!" ”

"Oh! Is it? The corners of Su Tong's mouth were the same, and he looked at a few people with a smile.

Jiang Baili and Li Zongren glanced at each other and groaned, and after a long time, Li Zongren said slowly: "Could it be that Roosevelt will use a bitter plan!" ”

Su Tong smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a bitter meat trick!" ”

"Bitter Meat Trick! It's unlikely! Bai Chongxi said in surprise: "You must know that the main warships of the US Pacific Fleet are most of the main warships in Pearl Harbor now, and if they are destroyed, the losses of the Americans will be too great, and they will not recover at all without two or three years." ”

"No, Brother Jiansheng, you are wrong." Su Tong shook his head and said: "You underestimate the war potential of the Americans, I am sure that even if the Yankees' Pacific Fleet is completely destroyed, it will not take a year for them to rebuild a powerful Pacific Fleet, and it will be much stronger than the original fleet."

"Then why did Roosevelt carry out this bitter plan, it would be better to do it directly with the Japanese." Bai Chongxi didn't understand.

Su Tong smiled when he heard this: "Duke De, you should answer this question, after all, Duke De is an expert in this area." ”

Li Zongren smiled helplessly, stretched out his finger and pointed at Su Tong and said with a wry smile: "Jianming, you are lazy yourself, but you let me bear the notoriety." ”

After clearing his throat, Li Zongren explained: "Although Roosevelt had long wanted to intervene in World War II, he made this series of actions to force the Japanese to attack Nanyang. ”

"Wait" Bai Chongxi interrupted Li Zongren's words and asked in astonishment: "You said that the Japanese wanted to go to war with the Americans because of Roosevelt's deliberate persecution?" ”

"Yes." Li Zongren nodded: "The U.S. government has cut off trade with Japan recently, which is equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of the Japanese, coupled with our persecution, in order to survive, we have to take risks, with the obscene character of the Japanese, it must be an undeclared war, which gives Roosevelt an excellent excuse to declare war." ”

"Oh my God!" Bai Chongxi gasped, "So, even if we didn't inform the Americans, they would have known that the Japanese were going to war with them?" ”

"Of course." Su Tong sneered and said: "Otherwise, what do you think the Americans are, they have long wanted to put their hands into Asia, as long as they control the countries around us, the Americans can contain our country's strategic development and form a big encirclement, and once their encirclement is formed, we will have to report to the Americans if we want to fart." ”

Hearing Su Tong say this, Bai Chongxi realized that those scheming politicians had unknowingly set up countless traps waiting for people to get into, which could be described as killing people without seeing blood.

Su Tong knew from the declassified materials of later generations that after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the US military salvaged the sunken warships from the water to an astonishing extent, repaired them in a very short time, and carried out modifications, so that the combat effectiveness of these warships rose to a new level. The modification of warships is very complicated, and the impact of new equipment on warships must be taken into account, when so many warships need to be refitted, it will take several months just to draw drawings, not to mention the procurement and production of various equipment and materials. However, when these warships began to be renovated, the workers found that everything was ready-made, including drawings, weapons, and radars, as if they were waiting for this day.

Before the attack, the U.S. military suddenly dispatched a large number of medical supplies and medical personnel to Pearl Harbor, and the day before the attack, it announced that the next day's vacation would be canceled and that it would be on combat readiness duty (the day of the attack was a Sunday). Before the attack, the US military dispersed some fighter planes to remote small airfields, while the planes that remained at the main airfield were left empty in hangars and neatly arranged on the runway, giving people the illusion that all the planes were there, and the planes that took off for combat after the attack began were all from small airfields. Prior to this, the intelligence bureaus of the British and Chinese governments, and even the United States, had warned Roosevelt, but Roosevelt, who had always been shrewd, ignored it as if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

After combining so many factors, it would be hellish if Su Tong still believed that Roosevelt didn't know, this was just a bitter ploy played by Roosevelt in order to deceive the support of the people. It's no wonder that everyone was immersed in joy after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Yamamoto Fifty-six only said lightly to the subordinates who came to congratulate: "We have just awakened a sleeping giant. ”

It's just that in another time and space, the Americans took control of Japan after the war and entered Asia, will this still be the case in this time and space? Su Tong was also thinking silently in his heart
