Chapter 692 - 692 War
Accardo scanned the thousand members of Congress seated below, as well as the reporters who packed the interview area, all waiting for the leader of the world's most powerful empire to say something astonishing.
Between Acador his somewhat thin body stood as straight as he stood on the rostrum, he raised his long arms, and the black SS uniform was like a sculpture under the action of the light, with folds and textures, which made people feel a thick and condensed atmosphere. Under the convergence of lights, in the eyes of the people, Accardo's raised arm gradually bent, and the palm of his hand gradually clenched into a fist.
Eventually, he swung his fist diagonally above his head, slightly in front of his shoulders, and then uttered a short word out loud: "War!"
His voice echoed throughout the hall, slightly hoarse. There was such a terrible silence in the whole room, and everyone felt that the Führer would give a wonderful speech, denouncing the treachery of the Americans in all respects, and encouraging everyone to join in the protracted war with the Americans.
Some people have even thought of various reasons and excuses for the Führer's declaration of war, such as what the Americans did in Africa, and the incident of the brazen attack on Romania by the United States, and so on. However, everyone did a lot of calculations, but they didn't expect Accardo to say the word so simply, and then stop talking.
What is this? Just one word? War? Is the Führer's microphone broken? What the hell is going on? Just as you look at me and I look at you, Field Marshal Rundstedt stood up and chimed in in a loud voice: "War!"
Some of the young Zhuang faction in the military all stood up and shouted loudly with their marshal: "War!"
Immediately after, the merchants of the munitions factory, the Junker nobles, everyone stood up one by one, raised their arms high, and shouted out loudly the word "war!" that the Führer had just shouted: "War!"
More and more people raised their arms and shouted the word war, and there were fewer and fewer people in the chairs in the whole room, one by one, and the people who stood up frantically waved their fists, shouted for war, and joined the frenzied crowd, which even frightened some foreign journalists, who felt that they were not in front of the parliament hall of the Third Reich, but in the palace of a certain king five centuries ago.
To people's surprise, Accardo had no intention of convincing these people to declare war on the United States with any bullshit reasons, knowing that even the most reasonable and decent reasons could not convince everyone to agree with his declaration of war. This time he did not mention the reason at all, did not say the reason, but simply, using his prestige, to encourage the whole country to declare war on another country.
Listening to the shouting of the mountains and tsunamis, listening to the word wave after wave of war, no one could keep their cool in such a situation, and fanatical emotions spread throughout the halls of Congress. Like a flood of beasts, devouring people's hearts, spreading blood and corpses all over the venue, the monster of war awakens, and everything else will be torn apart and destroyed.
"Declare war on the United States!" Accardo stood on the steps symbolizing his power, looked at the crowd of listeners below, and loudly announced: "If you dare to provoke any country in the Third Reich, although it is far away, we will definitely crusade! Long live the Third Reich!"
"Hooray!" shouted all of them, this was a feast of gluttony, a catharsis of longing for war. The entire tank of the Third Reich showed no mercy to any enemy man, because there were so many Germans leaning on this tank that no one wanted it to really stop.
The military knows that the war is actually very beneficial to itself, and as long as it holds on to the war on the Eastern Front and wins another strategic attack on the Soviet Union, then Germany can steadily become the world's number one power.
Behind these military bigwigs is the support of almost the entire German industrial group, which now produces military equipment for the German army, and the rest are either controlled by military-related consortia or simply subordinate units such as subsidiaries and branches of military industrial enterprises.
Add to this the peasants who benefited from the land, the workers who got more jobs, and the whole financial system that served the war (the Mifu system supported Germany's wartime economy, and it can be said that the German economy had been hijacked by the war), no one would have prevented Germany from waging war, or no one would have felt that it was unacceptable to start and expand war—the only difference was that some wars against individual markets would upset some merchants.
Another immeasurable is the prestige of Accardo's leadership. When Accardo stood up and shouted the word war, the whole venue fell into a state of madness, everyone almost lost their minds, they shouted feverishly, and some of the original scattered resistance was instantly like seeing the ice cubes of the sun, disappearing without a trace, and everyone was in one state, that is, unconditional support for Accardo's decision.
This is the result of one person kidnapping the entire Congress of his own will, the result of one person's prestige having transcended the system and become a monument. Roosevelt would have absolutely envied Accardo, at least in this matter, because only Accardo could stand on a high platform as he did today, and let everyone go with him to a crazy war.
"I, Accardo, can only promise you one sentence, very simple!" Accardo looked at the frantic crowd in the audience and continued loudly: "That is, invincible! The Third German Reich will be invincible!"
The applause began to spread, and then it endured, and no speech could show the power of a man so blatantly compared to those excuses and reasons, he ignored the doubts of Congress, or he did not have to worry about the doubts of Congress, he could use a person's decisions to make everyone follow him until the end of the world.
Anna stood behind Accardo, feeling the sweat already soaking through the shirt on her back, she knew that Accardo was not fully prepared when she arrived at Congress this time, she knew that the speech Merkel had only prepared for ten minutes, and it might not be of great use at all. But what she didn't know was that Accardo didn't even read the speech, and just one word made the audience boil.
Germany is not afraid of war, it longs for war. In fact, it had already been arranged, and the Axis powers had already been asked to wage a full-scale war against the United States. Within minutes, the Third German Reich declared war on the United States, Romania on the United States, Vichy France on the United States, Turkey on the United States, Spain on the United States, and then Italy and Britain in the north reluctantly read the Declaration of War to the United States.
"My Führer, declaring war on the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time, our industrial capacity will be even tighter, in order to retaliate against the United States and Britain, then at least we need to come up with some weapons and equipment that are not very mature, this ...... You've always tried to avoid it, haven't you?" Augustus asked in a whisper as he walked over to Accardo's side.
"Mr. Augustus, I am a very pushy person, so many times I have made choices that you don't think are quite right. Accardo looked ahead with his eyes and said, "But I think that a country needs to have a temperament, and a nation should also have its own temperament. I think there are some things that are not the best choice, but what we need to stick to, we have to stick to!"
"With peace with the United States, we will have to develop for at least another 10 years to reach the economic level we want to achieve. Augustus smiled: "Führer, are you ready for this?"
"Then we will develop ourselves for 20 years without the Americans!" Accardo said fiercely: "I ordered to speed up the development of a 6-round butcher bomber, so that the experimental work of the V2 missile will also be as fast as possible, and the experiment will ...... The experimental launch should be equipped with an explosive part and aimed directly at the United States, anyway, don't waste it. ”
To be honest, there are not many weapons systems that Germany can threaten the territory of the United States, and most of these weapons are future weapons under development, such as the V2 surface-to-surface missile being developed, in fact, the accuracy and reliability are not very up to the requirements, originally Accardo was prepared to develop it as a long-range nuclear bomb attack means, but now it has to be taken out in advance to attack and intimidate the United States, which is obviously a bit overkill.
But now Germany must come up with something to threaten the American mainland as much as possible, so that the United States can experience the cruelty of war. This kind of situation in which only the Americans can make moves, and the Germans passively accept them, makes Accardo very disliked. Once again, the geographical superiority of the Americans was in front of the Germans, at least at this stage, the sweeping German army had no way to take the distant North America, and the only thing they could do was to step up the development of more long-range weapons.
"Actually, there's a good way to get the latest U-47 submarine to walk around the coast of the United States, and I think there's bound to be more to be gained. Augustus smiled and said to Accardo: "Find some important targets and have an immediate counterattack!"
