"President Roosevelt, I think you have to explain the recent series of military operations that have bordered on madness in our foreign countries. A congressman stared at Roosevelt and asked: "Who approved your use of strategic bombers in the Middle East to carry out air strikes on Romania? Less than 10 planes returned to the territory of the Soviet Union, and no more than 5 were able to return to the Middle East! Who will bear this loss?"

A general of the Army Air Corps sighed on the sidelines, he had recently personally issued death notices for more than 2,000 Air Force soldiers, and now the door of a recruiting office of the Army Air Force was still crowded with the families of the fallen who had come to ask for explanations, and even some unfriendly forces had encouraged reporters to start reporting on the matter, and Roosevelt was in a very bad situation now.

And the American president, who was in a wheelchair, raised his head and squinted at the outspoken congressman, sighed and shook his head, as if the other party was a complete idiot, and it was not worth explaining anything at all. As a result, this action made the councillor even more annoyed, but his face turned red and he could not say a word else.

"Everything President Roosevelt did was the best outcome of discussions with the military, failure is not what each of us wants to see, but if we don't make an effort, the future of humanity will be dark. A general stood behind Roosevelt and said to the congressman with a calm face: "If you are still an American, please be careful with your attitude! According to the wartime acts, I have the right to give orders to investigate you!"

On the shoulders of this general, shining with the star of a brigadier general, as a military personnel who supported Roosevelt's hardline policy towards Japan and Germany, this 48-year-old general is the famous Eisenhower. It's just that he hasn't achieved the position of a five-star general yet, but just an unknown young general in the U.S. Army.

Even compared to Barton, who would later be under his command, his rank was much lower now. However, this general has recently attracted the attention of the United States because of the recent publication of a precise paper on the relationship between the United States and the Axis powers, which clearly pointed out that once the Axis powers become a world alliance organization, then the United States will be marginalized, and eventually go to the Axis powers in the future, and become part of the new world order under German rule without a fight.

This article made him so much appreciated by Roosevelt that he had recently used the power of American Jews and himself to nominate him for the rank of major general. The nomination has been approved, but tomorrow is the promotion date for the major general.

"Ah, here you are, General Eisenhower. Roosevelt obviously admired this general who could see the embarrassing dilemma of the United States in the future as much as he did, although Patton and Nimitz were very capable of fighting tough battles, but at the strategic level, Roosevelt rarely resonated at the top of the United States, so he especially cherished the general in front of him who understood him.

Another general whom he greatly admired, who had now been promoted to brigadier general, became his personal chief military adviser, and this man was also famous, the general who often served as Patton's highness, Bradley. Now that the United States has entered a state of war in an all-round way, it can be said that the whole world is fighting against the United States, and Japan and Germany are attacking the United States from both sides, so that the US fleet has to deal with threats from two directions at the same time.

"More than half of the members of Congress have accepted the fact that war has been declared with Germany, what is the use of you still saying this? It is better to think carefully about how to make war money, which is what businessmen like you should do!" Eisenhower is a few years younger than Rommel, and it can be said that he is definitely a representative general of the Young Zhuang faction, and he does not need to worry about the tone of his speech, after all, the two sides are not in the same system at all, and there is no need to care about anything.

A month earlier, the Japanese soldiers on Kauai had finally killed themselves, ending their war of aggression. More than 10,000 hungry Japanese soldiers launched a desperate charge against the landing American troops, but unfortunately, the Americans who greeted them did not have the spirit of bushido, and opened fire violently and responded to the pitiful idea of the Japanese wanting to fight with bayonets.

So the Americans recaptured their islands in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, but within a few days they were in a new crisis. The Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy pursued Admiral Spruance's aircraft carrier detachment all the way from Philippine waters to the outskirts of Kauai, and the second battle for Kauai began.

However, compared with the previous time, the strategic deployment made by the Americans on the Hawaiian Islands is countless times more powerful, at least 400 improved P-40 fighters have been deployed on Oahu, and if they want to eat this huge number of US Army air forces, it is estimated that the Japanese Navy's aviation force will definitely break its teeth.

Of course, the Japanese side was not unprepared, and Yamamoto knew that it was impossible to win a landslide victory with his own navy's fighter jets. So he and the generals of the Ministry of War cooperated for the first time, bringing in a full 70,000 Japanese infantry in one go, and also carried some heavy equipment and large-caliber support artillery, hoping to use the infantry to quickly deal with the US Army on the Hawaiian Islands.

And this time, the aircraft carrier fleet of the Japanese Navy can be described as pouring out of the nest. Not only the four main aircraft carriers under the command of General Nagumo Tadaichi, but also the other four modified aircraft carriers with average performance followed, increasing the number of their aircraft carriers to 8 in one go, nearly three times that of the US fleet. There are more than 600 carrier-based aircraft, including more than 200 cutting-edge Zero fighters.

This time, the Japanese Army actually dispatched as many as four reorganized divisions to form a complete front army, with the experienced and ruthless army general General Yamashita Fumifumi as the commander of the front army, and was fully responsible for the road combat mission to occupy the Hawaiian Islands.

This Yamashita Fengwen is a general who is known as the Malay Tiger in Japan in another time and space, and his record in this time and space is even more brilliant, he is a pioneer in invading the Philippines and capturing Malaysia, so he is also known as the Malay Tiger, but his record before he was sent to the Philippines is not very glorious, and he has suffered two defeats on the battlefield in China, and it seems that he has been beaten out of the psychological shadow by several German mechanics in China.

Obviously, being beaten by the Chinese German mechanics did not affect his level of monkey fighting in the Philippines, and he led the Japanese troops southward to attack Malaysia from the Philippines in one go, and if it weren't for the lack of a commander in the tight Hawaiian Islands, he might have been sent to Australia, which has a lot of land and resources.

Roosevelt knew that the current situation was actually very unfavorable for the United States, and he urgently needed a victory to boost the morale of the Allies, and indeed needed a victory to strengthen his presidency.

It is obvious that the defeat of Rommel in the Middle East and the recapture of Alexander in one fell swoop can only be a distant dream, because the United States has not yet succeeded in defeating the German army on a large scale - so defeating the aggressive Japan in the other direction is a very natural option. After all, not so long ago, the United States just beat Japan once, and it seems to be very easy.

So he anxiously inquired about the preparations for this battle, and if it was possible, he even wanted to go to the Hawaiian Islands himself to see if the preparations there were as perfect as the report said.

The telegram sent by General Nimizzy said that he would try to deplete the Japanese Navy, especially the air force, in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands as much as possible. Eisenhower pulled out a telegram that had been stuffed in his pocket and handed it to President Roosevelt: "Commodore Bradley has just arrived on Oahu with the supply ships, and he will command his troops to hold out there until the last moment, and if we can win, then this battle will completely lay the foundation for our strategic initiative in the Pacific." ”

"Can the Army really resist the Japanese landing? The last time it didn't take long to lose Kauai. Roosevelt asked, still a little uneasy.

"Mr. President, we have done our best, and I cannot promise you that we will defend it, but I promise you that we will do everything in our power to defend the island. Eisenhower replied firmly.

"Hearing you say that, I'm somewhat relieved. Roosevelt nodded, then motioned for his butler to push his wheelchair, and Eisenhower followed behind it, and the three of them walked slowly toward the end of the hallway.

At the end of the day, Roosevelt suddenly said: "We have doubled our military aid to the Soviet Union, at least 300 tanks and 200 planes have been sent to the Far East, I hope that this time the Soviets will not let us down and can buy us enough time on the Eastern Front." ”

"Intelligence shows that inside the Soviet Union, a German intelligence organization called the beehive or hive has been working, and although the Soviets have tried to eliminate this spy network several times, they have been unsuccessful. Eisenhower said helplessly: "Stalin also paid attention to this information after receiving our notice, and he felt that the Soviet winter offensive had been known to the Germans, so he decided to launch an attack as soon as possible to disrupt the deployment of the Germans." ”

"This is a good thing, at least we can't be led by the Germans to the end!" Roosevelt touched the armrest of his wheelchair and said in a deep voice: "Find a way to send 100 tanks and 100 fighters to the Soviets to support them in organizing a new offensive on the Eastern Front as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Mr. President!" said Eisenhower.
