Chapter 430: God No Longer Bless America (1st Update)
When Emperor Takahito officially announced to the world the existence of the "gods" and intervened in the war, the top level of the United States realized a situation that they had to face: Before the strength of the US Navy was restored to a situation comparable to that of Japan, any blind initiative would be an extremely dangerous act of suicide.
"We don't know exactly what that Yamato Nadeshiko is, but judging from the information and intelligence we have so far, the American Navy must be at least twice as strong as its opponent in order to have an advantage in naval battles."
This is a proposal submitted to the president by the Navy's operational intelligence.
For Americans, the past May 1943 was a May full of pessimism. One country after another, which the Americans regard as adversaries or potential adversaries, has declared that they have the blessing of "divine envoys".
Whether it is the Japanese gods or the British and German gods, the Americans do not understand what they are, but they can be sure of one thing, that is, the navy with the help of "these things" will have a huge advantage in naval warfare -- this has been proved to the whole world by the wreckage of hundreds of thousands of tons of warships of Britain and the United States, two of the world's largest naval powers.
Since May, the naval war between Japan and the United States has temporarily subsided. Japan, which has limited national strength, does not have so much fuel to drive warships to attack the US mainland, and has instinctively entered a "contraction period." The United States, on the other hand, did not have enough warships to challenge the Japanese Navy, which was clearly superior to itself.
While Japan, Britain, and Germany jointly acknowledged that there were "non-human" forces such as "divine angels" helping their country, ambitious Americans now found themselves at a crossroads of choice.
The United States of America, which was favored by God, did not receive the favor of the "gods" in this war! ”
Americans have long been God's favorites. God's chosen people claim to be the elect, but the self-confidence and arrogance brought by this "self-hypnosis" were smashed to pieces in front of the signboard of "God's Divine Messenger" displayed by the Three Kingdoms above.
The current Americans, the top priority, is the first thing to solve. It is a question of one's own ideological positioning, and first of all, to understand what kind of war one is participating in.
Because this is no longer a war between humans and humans, but between humans and gods (or non-humans).
"The soldiers were afraid of being enemies of the gods, and they refused to attack!"
It was May 30, a few days after the Japanese emperor announced to the world the remains of Yamato Nadeshiko, the U.S. Navy's submarine forces first submitted a report to their superiors.
In the past year of war, the U.S. Navy has lost hundreds of submarines in the Pacific. However, the results of the battle were scarce, and the battle loss rate was so high that even before each sortie, the commander on the shore could cross the number of the submarine from the list in advance. In the face of the ship's ability to seek the enemy, the submarine, a dangerous assassin in the ocean, has been completely abolished.
At first, the Americans simply mistakenly believed that the Japanese had received extremely advanced anti-submarine technology, until Emperor Takahito revealed the truth. Only then did they realize that they were fighting against the "gods". The ripple effect of this was a sharp drop in the morale of the naval forces. The submarine unit, which has the highest battle loss rate among the naval arms, openly refused to carry out sortie missions.
Nimitz reacted to President Dewey with concern: "Although the soldiers of the Navy are brave, they do not have the confidence to be the enemy of the evil god of Japan. Mr. President, if we don't solve this problem, this war simply won't go on. ”
Throughout June. The entire United States, whether it is the upper or lower middle class, has been subjected to the "sacred shock" unleashed by Japan, Britain, and Germany, and the impact has greatly lost confidence and caused great chaos in the ideological aspect. Due to the loss of confidence in himself. In the United States, voices calling for "peace talks" with Japan actually sounded again this month.
"Unless we can get the same "ghost things" as Japan, Britain, and Germany, it will be difficult for us to see hope of victory in this war. ”
Almost all of the staff members made similar noises.
"Stupid idea!"
At that time, President Dewey was angrily slapping his desk in his office and roaring like a wounded lion.
At an internal meeting at the top, and in front of a senior official at the helm of the United States of America, he spoke loudly:
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, and God's people, if we yield to the Japanese now, the United States of America will never turn over! Ladies and gentlemen, please understand that the nature of this war has changed since the Japanese announced that they had a god and that they had defeated the U.S. Navy by virtue of the power of the gods! In particular, the British and Germans declared that they also had something similar"
President Dewey couldn't find any words to use for a while to refer to Cun, who was "sealed" as a "divine envoy" by the British and German governments, so when he said this, he paused, because he didn't admit that those two guys were "archangels", President Dewey thought about it in his head, and finally spit out a word.
"Evil gods, yes, evil gods. What these three nations get is not an apostle sent by God, but a dark force from Satan, the power of an evil god. The United States of America is God's favored people, and this war is no longer a war between human beings, but a war between God's people and evil gods! ”
When the word jihad was shouted out loud, President Dewey's mind flashed to him, and he finally grasped the crux of the matter.
He stood in front of the square table of the long conference, waved his right fist vigorously, and said loudly:
"Holy war! This is a holy war between the free United States, which is favored by God, and the evil Solar Empire to the west! This war was a test for God's people who had favored him for more than 200 years! ”
"Ever since I was a child, my father taught me only one thing, and that was to believe in God. The difficulties facing the United States of America today are nothing but a test of God's courage to defeat the evil gods! ”
Dewey looked at a group of high-ranking officials who looked a little dumbfounded, and said to himself: "I don't want to be the first president in American history to sign a defeated armistice, and then endure such humiliation and step down, and finally die in humiliation like Chamberlain." ”
President Dewey knew that it was not enough to rely on his impromptu speeches to give the courage of those who had been frightened by the foreign "evil gods" to continue fighting, and he had to come up with something that would make them "excited." (To be continued......)
