Chapter 616 616 Waiting for a Miracle

"Mr. President, Mr. President!" a staff officer hurriedly ran to Roosevelt, who was being pushed by a servant in the corridor of the White House. The officer carried a copy of the paper, three steps and two steps, and looked anxious to get the news to his president.

"News from the front?" Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair, not knowing whether to expect or fear the sudden scene, he was also a normal person, except for inconvenient legs and feet, he was even hundreds of times better than ordinary people. But he was still afraid, because now he seemed to be carrying more weight on his shoulders than the shoulders of the first US president, Washington.

He did not dare to imagine the series of problems after the defeat of his fleet, although these problems need to be dealt with, but as Roosevelt, who loved the United States deeply, he never imagined what he would look like in the face of American defeat. He sometimes even thought of Churchill, who had dealt with him, and felt that the former British Empire Prime Minister had made the right choice to commit suicide. No one wants to face failure, especially if it affects the future of 100 million people.

"Yes, Your Excellency, news from the front! good news!" the officer was so excited that he almost didn't know what he was talking about, he felt that the news in his arms was no different from victory, at least for nearly three and a half months ahead, there had been no news so encouraging.

Good news: Roosevelt finally had the courage to pick up the telegram from the front and look through it. The message was very simple, with only one sentence: "You can fight!" but this sentence made Roosevelt almost jump out of his wheelchair with joy, the most exciting news he had heard in three months.

The U.S. Navy's F4F fighters could not be the match for the Japanese Naval Aviation's Zero fighters, so the U.S. Navy urgently improved a batch of Army Aviation P-40 fighters as the U.S. Navy's decisive weapons. This aircraft has an independent type code F40 fighter in the U.S. Navy, but because Nimitz is grateful for the support of the Army Air Corps, everyone still affectionately calls this carrier-based army fighter P-40.

This improved version of the Army gave the U.S. Navy World War I strength, and new tactics and intelligence provided by the Germans allowed the U.S. Navy to regain its ground. In the skies near Pearl Harbor, U.S. fighter planes were finally able to fight on an equal footing with the fighter units of the Japanese Air Force.

"God bless America! We've finally brought back the inferior!" Roosevelt really wanted to go to church and hold Jesus on the toe and kiss him a few times. At this time, he seemed to see the dawn of victory in his heart, and also saw the moment when the United States became the world hegemon. As long as the United States wins the battle for Oahu, it will hold out for at least a few more months, which will be enough time for the United States to rehabilitate itself and reinvigorate its superior industrial capacity. Once the U.S. warships are built at a pace that meets the needs of the nation, defeating Japan will be an easy task.

Roosevelt, who had let go of the big stone in his heart, regained his former composure, and it suddenly occurred to him that he should be thankful not for God, who had never been seen, but for Arcardo Rudolph, the head of the Third German Reich, who was far away on the other side of the Atlantic, turning his hands into clouds and raining on the European continent.

The Führer had a strange arrangement, as if the United States and Japan had been controlled by this god-like Führer in recent times, and their every move seemed to be going according to Accardo's will.

After sorting out the intelligence before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Americans found that in fact, the Germans and the Japanese had deep cooperation in the research and development of fighter jets, but at the same time, the Germans sold their export super fighter ME-109C to China, which made the US intelligence personnel a little puzzled.

The Chinese intelligence chief, Dai Li, once hinted at the American allies that the Germans wanted the Chinese army to shrink its forces on the battlefield4, and pointed out that this would involve Japan in the Pacific War to reduce the frontal pressure on the Chinese army, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek partially adopted this plan, and the Japanese also followed the German deduction and attacked the United States.

Just a month ago, the German expeditionary fleet had taken the initiative to contact the local American forces when it passed through Argentina, and the final result of this inexplicable contact was that the United States used $2 million in cash to "pick up" a piece of information about the performance of Japanese fighters. Judging by the current results, this information is equivalent to the Germans giving it to the United States for nothing, because if you talk about the real value, this information will definitely exceed 2 billion dollars or more.

The Germans are using their influence to control the distant Pacific theater, at least using a few resources in their hands to determine the course of the American Pacific theater. Thinking of this, Roosevelt suddenly felt cold sweat oozing from his forehead, if this qiē was carried out according to the needs of the Germans, then when the United States finally won the victory, would Germany have become the new hegemon of the world?

Just yesterday, just a few hours ago, the US Congress did not even believe that it could achieve victory in the war. Some members of Congress have privately discussed the outcome of the war, and many people feel that once Hawaii is fully occupied by Japan, then the United States should sue for peace with Japan and sell China's interests in exchange for an armistice and peace agreement with the Japanese.

The Americans are not ready for war! Our armed forces have been losing and will always be defeated in the foreseeable future! These arguments have caused the US top brass to waver, and some people even feel that the sanctions imposed on Japan in the first place were a mistake. At such a moment when the United States was about to withdraw from the war at any moment, the Germans sent a piece of information that could change the course of the war - if it was not premeditated, how could such a coincidence happen?

"The Germans want both the United States and Japan to lose!" Roosevelt muttered this, and then he figured out a lot of things from this angle: Germany wanted Japan to declare war on the United States, but it did not want Japan to declare war on the United States too early, so in the early days, Germany funded China, so that Japan could not be distracted by the quagmire of war; but later Germany found that China's combat effectiveness was a bit excessive, so it had to come forward to persuade China to pull the United States into the water; now that the Pacific War had broken out, Germany did not want the United States to go out prematurely, and it did the same thing to help the United States.

This is really a shameless face that fears that the world will not be chaotic. Roosevelt really wanted to arrest Accardo and bombard him with a 155-millimeter cannon for 20 minutes before he could relieve the insoluble resentment in his heart. The Germans wanted the United States and Japan to shed their last drop of blood, and their intentions were truly vicious!

When he secretly scolded Germany for being shameless, Roosevelt did not have the consciousness he should have. He did not expect at all that the Americans secretly helped the Soviet Union to launch the Soviet-German war, and now there is still the rumbling of artillery on the Eastern Front in Europe, which is actually no different from the Germans secretly intervening in the Pacific theater. Everyone is a crow standing on the coal pile, and no one can say who is black. There are a lot of stabbing each other in the back and tearing each other down in the world, but in the era of peace, everyone is more obscure and more measured, and now the gameplay is actually the same, but it is more naked and more unscrupulous.

"Convene a meeting! Get a few of my aides! We must think about how to deal with the Germans, after all, we are not participating in the war for the sake of world peace, and our post-war interests of the United States must be guaranteed!" Roosevelt, as the president of the United States, was not the ambassador of peace in the propaganda, he did not care about the suffering of the British people or the suffering of the Asian people, he was concerned about the future of the United States, and he was concerned about whether the United States could rise to the position of world hegemon in this world war.

If it weren't for the fact that Germany's espionage activities in the Balkans were too meticulous, and if it weren't for the outrageously powerful air defense forces deployed by Germany in Romania, the Americans would have sent their own B-17 bombers to blow up the vital Romanian oil fields to the ground in one fell swoop! The reason why there has been no action so far is that three B-17 planes with no identification information have gone and never returned on the way to Romania, not that the United States has not declared war on Germany!

As early as the day after the German airborne troops occupied Malta, 40 American B-17 bombers, painted with the logo of the British Royal Air Force, bombed various facilities on the island of Malta. Had it not been for the completion of the German radar station on the island of Malta and the stationing of a combat-ready air force, the bombing by the Americans would probably have continued.

The United States is not a good person, and of course Germany is not a good person, but when they scold others for being shameless, despicable, and insidious, everyone forgets that they are doing the same shameless, despicable, and insidious things. This is the relationship between countries, and to put it bluntly, it is actually the most basic deception.

The servant pushed Roosevelt into the conference room and went to help Roosevelt find his important staff. Then another emergency meeting was held in the conference room, where it had been held almost every day for three months, and order after order was issued, deciding the lives and deaths of thousands of Americans.

The phrase "can fight a war" quickly spread from the White House to all directions, and the beggars in the United States temporarily lost the market, and everyone was waiting, patiently waiting for the news of the battle in the Pacific, and once the results came, the next action would be in full swing.

However, even the beggars are in a very good mood at this time, and the better the United States fights, the smaller the United States will pay for the peace talks, and this is the result that every high-level American leader is willing to see. Everyone is looking forward to it, expecting Nimitz to bring miracles to the United States.
