81_81266Where can it take three days, Roosevelt's men naturally have capable people. After a little entanglement, I thought of a foolproof solution. Naturally, the core interests of the United States must never be betrayed, because the Americans do not yet have the habit of bleeding themselves to pay for others.

So a telegram was sent directly to Churchill, asking him to weigh the pros and cons himself. If the British feel that the help of the Americans is dispensable, then they will continue to cling to the interests of the Middle East and will not let go of themselves to fight Germany. But if the British feel that they cannot win against Germany on their own, then they will honestly spit out the fat of the Middle East.

The American approach is to put it simply: to give the interests of the British in the Middle East to the Jews of the United States in exchange for the Jewish power of the United States on Roosevelt's side. This method is completely in line with the interests of the Americans, so it is very easy to get through Guò in Roosevelt's circle.

The next day, Roosevelt met with Baulman again and told him all about the plan, along with the good news that the British decision-makers had decided to cede the interests of the Middle East in exchange for the full support of the United States.

"That's really good news. Bauerman was evidently pleased with the result, and then he laughed: "Then since the British are so generous, we Americans can't be too stingy, can we? No matter what kind of issues you put forward in Congress, Mr. President, tomorrow, we will not stand in the way." ”

Sure enough, the next day, on February 10, Roosevelt again submitted the "Aid to Britain Act", which was surprisingly voted down by an overwhelming vote after being rejected three times in a row.

The real peak of American aid to Britain began, and on the first day of the bill, 20 American transport ships joined the convoy bound for Britain, while Germany was still busy with several other things.

Germany, Berlin, Führer's Palace.

Accardo was frowning at a spy report from the Eastern Front. On the long table in front of him sat Augustus, Brauchitsch, the Polish "governor-general" Klug, who had rushed back to Berlin from the Eastern Front, Liszt, the commander of Army Group D of the Eastern Front, and Guderian, the new Army Group G. Catherine of the Air Force and Raeder of the Navy were also present, and even Gascol, the head of the Wehrmacht's intelligence department, and Reinhardt Heydrich, the leader of the SS, were also prominently present. This was probably one of the most important battles of the German side after the invasion of France.

The large number of Soviet Red Army troops recently deployed by the Soviet Union on the Soviet-German border has expanded to a full 2 million men. At least 2,000 tanks and armored vehicles were deployed in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland at the same time, and it was obviously impossible for such a large army build-up to hide from Germany, which had deployed a large number of spies in the Soviet Union.

And this time it seems that Stalin and Khrushchev and his ilk let the Soviet Red Army enter the border area with great fanfare, and it seems that there are high-ranking people behind the scenes, so this time the Soviet Union's actions put Germany in a dilemma.

The large-scale operations on the Western Front had just ended, and the post-war reorganization work had not been completed, the German elite armored forces were split and reorganized, and the combat capability of the German army was at a relatively low level for a short time.

Army Group A, which had the most experience in combat and had the most brilliant achievements, had now in fact become three armies, Army Group A, which was preparing to attack the British, nearly 200,000 infantry resting on the French border, and some elite panzergrenadiers who had been taken by Rommel were rushing to Austria to rest at this moment.

The famous 1st Panzer Army had returned to the Eastern Front, and Guderian was preparing for the creation of his Army Group. Although General Liszt's Army Group D, Army Group E, Army Group F and other troops were on the Eastern Front, their combat capability seemed to be inferior to that of Army Group A and Army B on the Western Front.

The surrender of France freed up a German Army Group C, which was dominated by infantry. Even if you don't talk about the level of its combat capability, even if you want to transport 400,000 troops to the Eastern Front, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

If you want to talk about the entire Eastern Front, the most loyal to Accardo is undoubtedly the Polish governor-general and the commander of Army F Klug, but if you want to talk about the more stable general who leads the troops to fight, it is Liszt.

Now the general is pointing to the map to introduce the Führer and everyone to the shape of the Eastern Front: "The current shape of the Eastern Front is: the front of Army Group D of our army, the Soviet Red Army has about 900,000 people, and they are deployed along the border area to threaten the border security of our army. To the north, General Kluger's Army Group F was no less pressing, and the Soviet Red Army numbered about 700,000 men. In the south, the Soviets were afraid of Romania's situation and deployed fewer troops, but they also reached 600,000 men. ”

"The total strength of the army is more than 2.2 million, is the Soviet Union going to attack us?" Brauchitsch frowned and looked at the defensive deployment of the Eastern Front in his hand: "The total strength of our army's three armies D, E, and F exceeds 1.4 million, and if we count the three armies C, G, and I, which are approaching the border areas, we do not seem to be inferior in terms of strength. ”

Augustus stared at the map and said slowly: "Like the United States, the Soviet Union is not stupid, they don't want one country to dominate Europe, which will cause a crisis on their western border. Their interests now coincide with those of the United States and the United Kingdom, so it is not surprising that this time they will transfer troops to contain us. ”

"If you count the troops that are still moving towards the border, their total strength is more than 3 million, and we actually have about 2.7 million troops, and if you count the air force and armored forces, it seems that we still have the advantage. Liszt scratched the map with his whip and said: "But once the two sides go to war, the figures provided to us by the Führer show that our army has no chance of winning in the attack on the Soviet Union. They will have about 10 million regular troops in reserve, and our deductions show that our army will be defeated near Minsk. ”

"Defensive operations are different, if they attack our army first, then there is not the slightest problem in defeating these Soviet soldiers. Liszt finally said.

"But once the war starts, at least 30 percent of my air force will be forced to move to the Eastern Front, and the continued bombing and suppression of Britain may fail. Catherine reported to Accardo.

"The news from Canada's intelligence agencies that in Canada and Australia, Britain is building a production line for Hurricane fighter jets, and a new Hurricane will be added to British air combat in a month. Gascol had recently caught a cold and said in a hoarse voice.

"Take a break. Accardo nodded and accepted Gascoll's intelligence report, and said comfortingly: "So we can't have a war with the Soviet Union now, even if we want to fight, we have to wait until 1 month later!"

This is also the reason why Accardo and Augustus wanted Japan to fight a war with the Soviets at Nomenkan, regardless of victory or defeat. It was really because the Soviets had recently been a little overwhelmed by Germany, that Accardo made this decision and gave the temptation to let the Japanese slap the Soviets in the Far East.

In fact, there has been a long-standing dispute in Japan over whether to go north or south. The faction led by the Japanese Army believed that the real rise of Japan was to rely on the Russo-Japanese War, and this war fought on Chinese soil also made the Japanese firmly believe that "the Russians are nothing more than that", so this time the Army wanted to invade the Soviet Union in the north and complete the real rise of Japan in the Far East.

However, the Japanese Navy and the Army have always been on the same path, and they insist that everything that the Japanese Army advocates must oppose this glorious tradition. So he put forward a diametrically opposed plan to the south, which included invading the coast of China all the way, entering Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia and other places, and then attacking the United States and the Philippines, obtaining some oil producing areas in South Asia, and challenging American interests in the Far East.

Therefore, the bait thrown by Accardo is not high and low, but has a considerable market in Japan. When the army heard that Germany, an ally in Europe, also wanted Japan to go north, it immediately tried its best to get the Japanese base camp to agree to this plan to attack the Soviet Union in the north, and mobilized a huge force of seven divisions for this plan.

The current state of the world is delicate: the Germans are fighting Britain with all their might, the Soviets want to hold the Germans back, the Japanese are trying to stab the Soviets in the back, and the Americans, while worrying about Japan's gain of power in China, are trying to suppress Germany's rise in Europe -- none of the world's major countries has been able to stay out of it.

"The key now is to see when the battle of Nomenkan, which the Japanese promised, will start!" Augustus said, staring at the map of the Far East, "If they fight a day earlier, they will relieve us of the pressure of the day." ”

That being said, we all know that Japan's chances of victory in the north this time seem to be very slim. Accardo stood up and said, "But it is likely that the United States will soon make an agreement with the Jews at home to participate in the war between us and the British." ”

He walked to the front of the map, looked at his men, and pointed to the area on the map: "So now our focus is still on the west, and General Rundstedt's landing plan is still the top priority! On the contrary, we must put on a posture of holding on to the east so that the Soviets will not dare to attack lightly!"

"Yes!" replied all the generals in a loud voice.

"Augustus, tell Merkel and ask him to urge Japan to start the battle of Nomenkan as much as possible! We are waiting for the news of the victory of the Japanese allies in the Far East!" Accardo seemed to think of something funny, and a smile appeared on his face: "After this time, Japan will not have much to do with us." ”。
