"On August 9, Moscow, the capital of the former Soviet Union, was officially occupied by Wehrmacht troops, and Field Marshal Rundstedt personally awarded the Iron Cross to the SS and Wehrmacht soldiers who occupied the Kremlin! This is another brilliant victory for our army since the beginning of the war for European integration! Long live Führer Accardo Rudolph!"

"The Third Reich and the Siberian Confederation officially issued a joint declaration declaring a formal end to the Soviet-German war based on the Treaty of German and Siberia...... According to our reporter's report, the demarcation of the border between the two sides was officially completed at 10:30 this morning, and the long-standing cooperative relationship established between the two countries will be further ......." The radio broadcast the news of the capture of Moscow in German, and pressed the switch with one hand to turn off the chatter.

The man who turned off the radio walked to the white bed, looked down at the old man lying on it, and whispered to the president who led the United States out of the financial crisis and won the Pacific War: "Mr. President, it seems that this is not a German propaganda offensive, Moscow has really fallen." ”

"Of course...... German...... No...... It is necessary to lie. Roosevelt said with difficulty, and every heartbeat of his heart now is extremely precious, because if he really dies, then it is really difficult to say whether the United States can continue to hold on to this world war. The politicians who followed Roosevelt, as well as the officers and soldiers who fought on the front lines, were at risk of being swallowed up by their political opponents.

"Congress rejected your bill to continue mobilizing another 2 million soldiers, and they only approved a cap of 500,000...... After all, the Germans had no obvious intention of landing in the United States, and the size of their navy and transport fleet did not allow them to make such a crazy decision. The man put his hand on President Roosevelt's bedside with some regret and whispered to him.

This man is none other than Baulman, a prominent supporter in Roosevelt's camp, who was cornered by Enrique's establishment in the Middle East. The Jew, who grew up in the United States, has a wealth that rivals that of his country, but lately it has been rapidly shrinking for a variety of reasons.

His investment in Far Eastern officialdom was lost because of Chuikov's self-reliance, and most of his investment in American shipping was sunk by Dönitz, and he finally made some money in the shipyard, but now he is owed part of the money by the US government for the expansion of the navy. Don't think that the United States is really rich, after all, this is 1939, when the United States failed to win World War II, and the US government is really not as rich as imagined.

Because in order to transport all kinds of supplies in India and other regions, and to provide countless interest-free loans and free aid to India, because it wanted to help poor Britain in its own country, it also took out countless reserves, and because it wanted to compete with Germany for influence in China, it also had to send a large amount of materials to China...... The United States, a huge rich man, cannot afford to fill so many holes now.

The United States, like Germany, is now relying on national debt to survive the wartime economic crisis. However, there is an essential difference between the two countries: the Germans have now entered the stage of picking peaches after fighting the war that cost money, while the Americans have not yet completely won the war, so they are still in the stage of spending money.

"In southern Africa, several of the countries in which we operate are now a little wobbly, and they are under pressure from General Vercumman in northern Africa......" On the other side of the hospital bed, General Marshall held a thick stack of documents and slowly stated: "The defense of the Indian side is not optimistic, the German army is attacking our army in Iran, and the locals regard the other side as their liberator......"

There was one sentence that Marshall did not utter, and his intelligence service learned that if it were not for the return of Rommel, the commander-in-chief of German North Africa, to medical treatment due to stomach problems, and the reluctance of the newly appointed Manstein to make too drastic offensive deployments, perhaps the Germans would have taken down the whole of Iran.

"Intelligence shows that Isoroku Yamamoto commanded the combined fleet of Japan and returned to Philippine waters...... The other side has built a complete defense system with the help of the island chain...... Attacking at such a time may increase our losses. The head of the navy then said: "But this week we are not only bad news, the German submarine forces have converged a lot ......on the east coast of our country and in the Gulf of Mexico region."

Not paying attention to the gleam in Roosevelt's eyes on the bed, the admiral flipped through the pages of the report, lowered his eyes and continued: "Since the HL-44 transport fleet was attacked by the German Navy, we have not received a report of a German Navy submarine attack for four consecutive days. This month we have 48 transport ships sunk and 17 German submarines sunk...... The strengthening of anti-submarine forces allowed us to stabilize the situation, and it seems that the Germans began to fear losses. ”

"You say?" Roosevelt said suddenly, closing the mouth of the army general who wanted to report on the recent completion of the conscription. The American president spoke with difficulty, and continued somewhat slowly: "Germany...... Submarine...... Reduced?"

"Yes, Mr. President, reports for the last four days show that the German submarine force in the Gulf of Mexico is decreasing, and we are still investigating why. After all, there are so many reasons we know that it's hard to tell. The officer of the US Navy heard Roosevelt's question and quickly replied.

There are many theories within the US Navy that some people believe that Germany is replacing a new type of "ghost submarine," that is, a very concealed U-boat; others believe that it is the German Navy's routine rotation tactics, which led to a decline in the base of submarine cruising in a certain sea area for a certain period of time; and a few people who attribute the main reason for the decrease in the number of German submarines to the strengthening of the Allied anti-submarine forces.

Whatever the reason, the number of German submarines cruising off the coast of the United States is declining, and this is most true for the U.S. Navy, which has to endure the devastation of German submarines every day. Every good news in the war was absolutely inspiring, so when everyone heard the news, they all cheered.

"Strengthening ...... Iceland ......" Roosevelt held Baulman's palm and said with difficulty to the navy and army generals around him: "Deployment...... Bombing...... Norway!...... as much as possible Massive...... Call. It took a lot of effort for him to say every word now, which made Bauerman, who was holding his hand, even more frightened.

"Bombing Norway is still going to be bombed? Isn't this adding to your own block?" After hearing Roosevelt's words, the army general frowned slightly, he didn't know what Roosevelt thought, but he unilaterally felt that it was a complete waste to throw away his strength to get along with Germany.

Even in his hospital bed, Roosevelt knew that bombing Norway was not the best option right now, but sometimes it didn't seem like the best option, but it was the best choice. Roosevelt was now bombing Norway, not to defeat Germany, but to prepare for another possibility.

People who play Go may often encounter this situation, and some idle moves that appear to be the opponent's "unreasonable move" turn out to be a fatal "first move" in the end. At present, Roosevelt's battle order is in fact a decisive preemptive move.

As a matter of fact, the most lethal thing for the US top level now is not Germany's invincible million-strong army, but the treaty of peace between Germany, which came from all over the ocean! If Accardo knew that Roosevelt's fate was short, as long as a few diplomats were arranged to come to the United States with a decent peace treaty, then the United States would have completely lost the courage to continue fighting.

Roosevelt's move was not so much a slap in the face to the Germans as a performance preparation to slap the Germans. Exchange one loss for the momentum of fighting to the end, so as to dispel Germany's desire to take the initiative to seek peace -- at least to dispel the Germans' desire to take the initiative to seek peace in the near future. It turned out that Roosevelt did anticipate the enemy's opportunity, because when he gave the order, Ribbentrop was already preparing a negotiating treaty with the United States.

"Swift ...... Velocity...... That's the key!" Roosevelt closed his eyes and continued to command in an extremely light voice: "Let ...... Briton...... Send, send fleet...... Escort...... We, Our ...... Transport...... Ensure, ensure the fleet ...... Certain...... Safe...... Arrival...... Iceland. ”

"Mr. President, if a bombing mission is carried out, our bomber forces may suffer huge losses. If more than 300 bombers take off, it is estimated that two-thirds will not be able to return. The army general said with an ugly face.

"This is war! General! I think everyone here has heard Mr. President's order clearly! Do it!" Marshall, a military leader comparable to a politician, naturally understood Roosevelt's good intentions, and after a little contemplation, he found that this was a very good deal. With 200 bombers, for about two months - that sounds good.

Although reluctantly, Marshall opened his mouth like this, and the generals of the army did not insist on anything, and after getting up and standing upright, they withdrew from Roosevelt's room, and after a few words of greeting, Marshall and the admirals also got up and left. Eventually, Bauerman and Roosevelt were left in the room.

"Survive! Hold on! If you fall, all of us will lose everything. Baulman grabbed Roosevelt's palm and said bitterly: "For all those who support you, for this war, live!"
