Chapter 453: Federal United States

A military defeat, a strategic rout.

After succeeding Roosevelt, who died suddenly, as president of the United States, the position of the American military in the war took a sharp turn. First, the African theater was catastrophically out of control of the multinational force commanded by Eisenhower due to the civil strife in Britain, although the Casablanca miracle saved the defeated multinational force and prolonged the status of the United States of America as the world's largest economic power.

However, Truman and the White House think tank overestimated the influence of America's industrial potential on the war, or rather, they underestimated the war potential of the grand coalition led by the Han Empire.

This is not the fault of the American elites. In another world, they completely manipulated the course of the war, making the United States the ultimate beneficiary of the war.

But in this life, no one can think of the existence of the Red Police base. That's something that is beyond the realm of the human mind.

After the Casablanca retreat, the United States missed its best chance to withdraw from the war. After Churchill died, Britain and the Soviet Union were separated, and the empire was freed up to carry out the "Hou Xi" plan, and then, after the Americans found that the American army had no way to resist the attack of the Allies, and the Manhattan Project was completely destroyed because of Zhong Yi's foresight, and was also piggybacked by two nuclear explosions, the United States had lost all strategic initiative.

Unlike the Chinese War of Resistance, even without the rise of the Han Empire, in the previous life, the Chinese Nationalist government eventually held out until the full-scale outbreak of the Pacific War.

But what about the United States? The establishment of the alliance between Europe and the United States could not prevent the powerful allied forces from invading the North American continent. Germany does not have a navy as strong as its army, and Goering's air force can bully the backward Soviet air force, once it encounters the strong Han Royal Air Force, then the German eagles will not have any confidence.

The two real tests in the Bosphoruk Strait and the Dardanelles have proved that if the Han and German air forces collide in an all-round way, then there will not be much suspense about the result.

Otherwise, how could the German Führer, with his extremely proud character, do nothing at the London Conference? Except for the fact that Guderian and Xiao Guoxing stared at each other and almost had a duel between the two generals, Germany could really be said to have gained nothing at the London Conference. Even Guderian was not able to bring back to Berlin a German version of the North American Armistice.

This is definitely the greatest humiliation for the Germans, who already claim to be the hegemon of Europe. But the Führer did not have the determination and courage to fight a war with the Grand Alliance, and the Americans' compromise was tantamount to giving the Germans an excuse to cover their shame.

In fact, even if the White House does not take the initiative to negotiate an armistice, the Germans have no way to deal with a war on the other side of the ocean. Unless the mustache is determined to start an all-out war with the big alliance, he will attack Italy, Spain, and Turkey in Europe by land.

The Führer was proud, even arrogant, but the mustache lacked strategic vision, otherwise the German armor frenzy would not have swept across Europe at the beginning of the war.

It is precisely because the White House saw this, and consciously felt that there was no hope of resistance, so it was aggrieved and willing to seek the humiliating "Agreement" by dividing the country into three parts. At this point, Truman was not only guilty, but attacked.

As Imperial Marshal Jiang Yunzhi said, "The Allies achieved all the goals of the 'Hou Xi' plan in North America, but strategically it was a pot of raw rice." ”

The strength of the US military has been preserved for the most part, especially the navy and air force, and the important shipyards, aircraft factories, and other industrial bases of the economically developed areas on the east coast and the Great Lakes, ensuring that the United States of America is still a world power in terms of economy and military.

Of course, the Han people pay attention to the winner and the loser, and the Americans are no exception, the United States was ruled by three parts, the territory was reduced from 10 million square kilometers to more than 3 million, the socialist democratic United States occupied the rich land in the south, and the Indians in general began to establish the state and establish the capital. It was inevitable that the Democratic government would step down to take responsibility for the defeat in the war.

In addition, Republican lawmakers have suggested in Congress that the United States no longer exists and that the United States should change its name to distinguish it from the democratic United States in the center. This year, it seems that the unscientific mention of yì actually mentioned the approval of the majority of parliamentarians. The most serious thing is that more than half of the Democratic Party members voted in favor, which means that there is already a division within the Democratic Party and it is about to face a split.

The party elders urgently convened a Democratic convention and unanimously agreed that President Truman would dissolve the government and hold an early general election. This is seen as the only way for the Democratic Party to regain the hearts and minds of the people and restore unity.

The war was lost, the country was divided, and someone had to take responsibility. This bearer must and can only be Truman, but it must not be the Democratic Party.

However, the Democratic Party members, who were bent on internal rectification and discarding their liabilities, did not expect that the Republican Party's proposed name of the "Federal Republic of America" would still be approved by a majority vote in Congress.

Before the economic crisis, the Republican Party, which lost the presidency by Hoover, had already had such a strong appeal among the people and even members of Congress, and when General Clark, who had been defended by the military in Salt Lake City, said that he would retire and become the Republican presidential candidate, the polls immediately showed a one-sided situation.

The Democrats simply could not find a person who could compete for the presidency with the only undefeated Admiral Clarat in this special period -- Marshall refused the Democrats' invitation and officially retired.

As a result, the Democratic Party finally chose to withdraw from the election, and the first president in the history of the federal United States was elected with only one candidate.

It is said that the French are romantic, but after Clark was elected president of the Federal United States, the Federal Americans were no less romantic than the French. They compared Clark's election to Washington, the first president of the United States......

In response to this, the Prime Minister of the Indian Kingdom, You Xing'an, once replied with a sentence: Washington seems to be a member of our Indian Kingdom - Washington State was indeed assigned to the Indian Kingdom after the agreement.

Of course, at this point, the Federal Americans showed a generous side, just like in the previous life, the stick liked to say that Qu Yuan and Confucius were both Koreans/Chinese, while Zhonghua humorously replied, "Well, it's yours, it's all yours, even Qin Shi Huang is the ancestor of your Korean ancestors." ”

After Clark came to power, he quickly changed the hostile diplomatic strategy of the Truman period, not only maintaining close ties with Germany, but also strengthening communication and cooperation with the countries of the Grand Alliance.

Establishing diplomatic relations directly with the Han State? This is somewhat untouchable, the Red Army in the south and the democratic United States, and the mountain troops in the west and the Indian kingdom are still in a confrontation with loaded guns, and it is not that thing to immediately come to the door to visit relatives.

But the Americans also attacked the curve to save the country, "There is no way to directly climb with the Han Emperor, we can first get in touch with the relatives of the Han Emperor!" "It's not easy for other countries to mess with, so there's no problem with the Jews, right?

Thomas Mackay, the secretary of state in Clark's administration, was a Jewish.
