Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Attack on Pearl Harbor
Alex's agitation on the European continent can be described as of great significance, rescuing 70,000 prisoners of war and civilians is secondary, the key is to greatly boost the morale of the Allied forces, Churchill is a person who is good at taking advantage of the situation, a flight is simply said by him as a sign of the Nazis' imminent demise, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Nazis.
Not only that, Finland, which originally joined the Axis powers in history, joined the Allies, and Finland, which was supported by the Allies, not only opened the Potts River channel and forced Norway to give way to Finland's access to the sea; After months of entanglement with the Soviet Union on the long Mannerheim Line, the Soviet Union finally had no choice but to abandon Finland and concentrate on the three Baltic states.
Hitler, who threatened to bring the war to Scandinavia, had no choice but to watch Finland break out of his control because of the erosion of the front-line fighting and the resistance of the Norwegian side.
This is not the most impactful, a sudden news shocked the whole United States. Alex was blindsided on the spot when he heard the news, and he stayed for a long time before coming back to his senses.
On November 28, Thanksgiving Day, Japan raided Pearl Harbor, the base of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet in Hawaii, and the unsuspecting U.S. Navy suffered heavy casualties, worse than the original history!
Alex didn't know why, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor would have been a year earlier than the original history, but he knew that the United States was going to war.
When he heard the news on the radio, Alex was enjoying a turkey dinner prepared by Mrs. Ella with Steve and Bucky, and Bucky suddenly stood up, dropped the turkey leg in his hand, and couldn't help but scold: "**, little Japan! ”
& When you go back to the government, you're going to go to war! Steve was also angry, he had always supported the government's entry into the war, but unfortunately, until now the United States has not officially entered the war.
Alex was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, nodded and said: "Participation in the war is certain, and in order to deal with the future war situation, the government will definitely recruit troops on a large scale." ”
Bucky and Steve looked at each other, their eyes lit up and they shouted, "We're going to join the army!" ”
When Ella heard the voice, she hurriedly got out of the kitchen, looked at the emotional Bucky and Steve, and looked worried: "It's dangerous to fight, isn't it good to stay at home?" Ella, who had lived in World War II and spent more than a month in a concentration camp, knew the cruelty and danger of war, and she didn't want to see the children get into trouble.
In Ella's eyes, Alex, Steve, and Bucky are all her children.
"People, if we don't go, others will go, and they may die, or they may live." Steve hated and hated war, and he wanted it to never happen, but if it did, he would never back down, "but if we go, there may be people who don't have to go, and then they won't die." ”
Just when everyone was silent because of Steve's words, a familiar voice came in from the door, and Vivien Leigh, who was still wearing a luxurious dress, leaned against the wall by the door, staring at Alex with pale green eyes, and asked nervously, "Alex, are you going too?" ”
Alex glanced at the people in the room, nodded and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be good for us to end the war early?" ”
>> Yes! Audrey and Monroe exclaimed, and Vivien Leigh barely stood against the wall as if she was out of strength.
Alex raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, looked at Audrey and Monroe, who were holding him left and right, and said with a smile: "Do you remember my brother's magic?" With a magic amulet, my brother will be fine. ”
Hearing this, Audrey and Monroe's eyes lit up, but they quickly returned to their original state, and the hand holding Alex tightly did not let go at all: "This will not work!" We won't let you go! ”
& Why didn't anyone stop me from joining the army? Looking at Audrey and Monroe, who all came to Alex's side, Bucky laughed weirdly and said self-deprecatingly.
& Alex, why do you have to go to the front, stay in the United States, be your businessman, not the same can contribute to the war? "Vivien Leigh is not a child, she will not mess around, she will find reasons and excuses.
Alex was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer. Why did he have to go to World War II, Alex never thought about it carefully, just because Steve and Bucky would go, he would go too. But now that I think about it, this reason is particularly idiotic.
Thinking about it, Alex suddenly broke down, do you still need a reason to participate in World War II? Of course, to fight the Nazis, this reason is enough! After figuring it out, Alex had another thought in his mind, I have a chance to go to Japan for a walk, and I will meet the Japanese "Imperial Army"!
On the second day of Thanksgiving, Crippled President Roosevelt delivered a speech and declared war on Japan, bringing the entire United States to a state of first-class combat readiness.
A few days later, Germany, Italy and other Nazi Axis powers also declared war on the United States, and Roosevelt quickly responded with a declaration of war, and the United States was officially involved in World War II.
At Alex's initiative, from the second day of Thanksgiving, the three began to do physical training to successfully enlist in the army. But to the disappointment of the trio, they had been training for almost three months, but they had never waited for news of the conscription.
> If you don't issue a conscription order, I'm in a hurry! While on a trail run with weights, Bucky couldn't help but complain again.
Alex was very relaxed, not impatient: "Wouldn't it be better not to recruit soldiers, which means that the war situation is acceptable?" As he spoke, Alex turned his head to look at Steve, a flash of worry in his eyes.
After three months of training and non-stop food supplements, Steve's physical fitness has been greatly improved, and even his body seems to have been lifted up a little. But there is still some way to go before the conscription requirements, and Steve also suffers from a variety of diseases, which obviously does not meet the requirements for soldiers.
&It's only 1941, and I wonder if Steve will ever meet the doctor? Because of the full advance of time, Alex was a little worried that Steve would not meet Dr. Abraham Ekins, who would change his life.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, the situation on the European battlefield has taken a sharp turn for the worse, the Allies have suffered heavy losses and have been completely expelled from the European continent, and the African theater has also suffered a decisive defeat, with huge losses in soldiers, followed by large-scale conscription!
When they heard the news of the conscription, Alex and Bucky were very excited, and after a simple physical examination, they successfully passed and officially became American GIs. Unfortunately, as Alex expected, Steve did not pass the medical examination.
And at this moment, the Stark Messe was held again.
When Alex heard the news, his heart moved, maybe here, Steve would meet his nobleman. Isn't that what it is in the movies? Although the time gap is >
& Let's go to the expo together. Alex dragged a low-spirited Steve to the fair, and then left Steve, who feared that his presence would affect Steve's fate.
When Alex saw Steve walk into the recruiting office at the venue again, Alex couldn't help but smile, he should be able to meet the doctor!
