Chapter 289 289 Washington

"Who is he?" asked Churchill when the man walked out, looking at Chamberlain.

"He doesn't have a name, but in our intelligence department, he has a code name, a very awesome one. Chamberlain said with a smile.

"Ghost?" said the intelligence department, this is the name that has been in the limelight in recent years, everyone has only heard of this name, but they have not seen the true face of this man. So Churchill directly guessed the origin of this man.

"That's right!" Chamberlain nodded and said, "He's the best agent I've ever found, and the only one who dares to carry out his mission." ”

"What can he do? Going to Germany is nothing more than sabotage, and it will not change the current balance of strength between the two sides. Churchill said with some disapproval.

"That's not something you need to ask about, you just need to send out the submarine and send them to the designated place, it's very simple. Chamberlain said with a wave of his hand. He was apparently reluctant to reveal the specifics of the operation, so Churchill became acquainted with him and did not continue to ask questions.

On the other hand, Churchill said goodbye to Chamberlain, rushed back to his office with his adjutant, and immediately told the Navy to find a submarine and prepare to send some intelligence officers to Germany.

On the other side, the ghost also returned to his office, where four of his men were already waiting, two of whom were still masked weirdos.

"Our plan of action was approved by the Prime Minister, and in three days we will depart by submarine for a secret landing in Germany. As soon as the ghost entered the house, he said with a smile.

Hearing this, a man leaning against the wall was wiping a pistol in his hand. He looked up and glanced at the ghost: "Is it reliable? If our plan of action is known to the Germans, we will be finished." ”

"Don't be frightened by the German spy Grey Wolf, who has so far been uncatchable, he is far from being ubiquitous in England. The ghost glanced at the man leaning against the wall, "Six of hearts, how are you doing?"

"There is no problem at all, those who protect His Majesty the King, it is easy for me to put down two by myself. Six of Hearts said with a smile.

"Good. This time, only the Admiral Churchill, who had always been hostile to Germany, and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain knew about the plan, so Cheng Dù could rest assured that it would be kept secret. The ghost solemnly pointed to the two masked men over there and said, "So I brought them here, let me introduce them, this is the trump card in my hand, and they are ordered to carry out another plan at the same time." ”

"Hello. Paul, who had been silent in his chair, said hello, he had been sent to the secret service for training since he returned from Germany, and now he could be said to be a very good British intelligence officer.

"Thank you. A masked man replied, and as soon as she spoke, Paul and the six of hearts leaning against the wall were visibly stunned.

"Woman?" Six of Hearts asked, frowning.

"That's right! Some tasks require women to do, and it's easier. The ghost nodded.

"Look down on women?" the masked woman asked coldly.

"I'm sorry. You dare to go to Germany with us outlaws, and you're a great agent. The six hearts explained apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. When the woman said this, she said no more.

The masked man next to her always covered his head with a hood and a white mask on his face, but he didn't say a word.

"If our mission fails, it's up to you!" the ghost walked over to the masked man who didn't speak, and whispered, "You are our trump card, and we hope you can succeed." ”

The man nodded, but remained silent.

"Disband. The ghost smiled and waved his hand. Soon, several people walked out of his office.

Far off the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean is the rich and powerful United States of America. And the capital of this country is the world-famous Washington. If you were to ask Accardo what he liked most about Washington, D.C., he would tell you very seriously: the Lincoln Memorial.

Yes, the Lincoln Memorial. It is regarded as a timeless statue of the United States and an icon of the city of Washington, D.C., and was erected in honor of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Located at the western end of Washington's National Lawn, on the east bank of the turquoise Potomac River and opposite the Capitol at the eastern end, the Memorial is an ancient Greek temple-style memorial made of white granite and marble.

In a speech to the Reichstag, Accardo once said to those who listened to him: "I did provoke war, but I did it to preserve the unity and prosperity of the Greater German nation! In 1861, the great American president dared to face war in order to abolish slavery, and in 1937, in order not to enslave the German people, I, Accardo Rudolph, were equally not afraid of war!"

He impassionedly contrasted the beliefs of the two countries: "The American people worship freedom, and the German people also yearn for freedom! We are not afraid of any power or provocation, and we dare to face any threat! We are the bravest nation in the world! We are the toughest nation in the world! If Britain wants to continue to treat us as slaves, then I have to say to King George of England, as President Abraham Lincoln did: 'Come!'"

Accardo's favorite Lincoln Memorial in Washington broke ground in 1914 and was completed in 1922. A marble statue of Lincoln sits in the center of the memorial, his hands resting on either side of the armrests of a chair with a solemn expression. Above the statue is an inscription that reads, "Lincoln will live forever in the hearts of the people." The Lincoln Memorial is a tribute not only to the late president, but to the people of the entire country. One of the most monumental statues in the United States is preserved here. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address are also inscribed on the marble wall. The 36 columns represent the 36 states of the United States at the time of President Lincoln's death.

Now, at this very moment, the current president of the United States, Roosevelt, stands in front of this monumental building, staring without a word at the tall statue of Lincoln on the façade of the building. It seems that all Americans are not very favorable to the United States getting involved in this new war, and the whole Congress is dissatisfied with Roosevelt's policy of favoring Britain, and there are even some extreme politicians who prefer the United States to carve up Britain's overseas colonies with Germany.

But the visionary president of the United States, who is in a wheelchair, is a sophisticated politician. He keenly saw the disadvantages of being neutral, and he did not agree to the bad distribution of spoils. He stubbornly believes that a divided, weak Europe that needs the help of the United States is in the interests of the United States.

"What do you say in Britain?" After a long pause, Roosevelt ended his silence and asked his assistant.

"Mr. President, the British side seems to be interested in our plan, but they feel that the price we are offering is too high to accept. The assistant looked down at the text in his hand and said: "Now it seems that our compromise with the Republican Party is indeed a bit big, and the price they are demanding is too high, so that we cannot immediately cooperate with the UK." ”

"There's no way to cut the content of the treaty by 20 per cent, and look at what the British side thinks. As for the Republican side, I'm going to pay a visit myself, hoping that they will forgive me. Roosevelt said with a sigh. He lacked the kind of ability that Accardo had in Germany, so many things were hampered and his efficiency was even more inefficient.

Roosevelt did not sit idly by while Accardo was busy with self-improvement, and he established a government with a balanced geographical and political membership, including liberal and conservative Democrats, three Republicans, and two women ministers.

His legislative plan was aimed at a broad electorate, sought to help major interest groups in the U.S. economy, and enlisted the support of Republican members. Specific measures include the establishment of the General Administration of Agricultural Adjustment to raise the prices of agricultural products and restore agricultural prosperity, loans to large and medium-sized enterprises to stimulate commerce, and the establishment of specialized institutions to provide relief and employment opportunities to unemployed workers.

As a result of his series of reforms, the United States became the second country after Germany to emerge from the financial crisis, and the country is slowly but surely recovering.

However, compared to Germany's expansionist crisis-blaming policy, progress brought about by domestic economic reforms has been significantly slower, so the United States is in fact still in a period of recovery rather than a complete recovery of industrial development as in Germany.

Therefore, a part of the United States decided to take advantage of Roosevelt's eagerness to support Britain and put forward a cooperation plan with a sky-high price, and the British were certainly not fools, so the cooperation negotiations between the two sides did not make any real progress for a while.

"What's going on on the Chinese side?" Worried about the situation of Britain on the other side, they had to distract themselves from the more worrying situation in the Far East. China's Nationalist government lost control of Shanghai yesterday, but the Japanese had already lost 75,000 soldiers for this hasty attack, and the two sides continued to exchange fierce fire, and the entire Shanghai area was scorched.

Roosevelt's calculations were added to Roosevelt's calculations by the Chinese army's operational schedule, and he could not understand why Germany and Japan had become allies, but Germany had borrowed the hand of China in the Far East to pit Japan once. Therefore, he was even more unsure of what Germany was planning, so it was difficult for him to choose the direction of his move.

Of course, he will never know, in fact, the pit Japan is a precautionary fuse set by Germany for the future. In order to slow down the speed of Japan's invasion of China, Japan's war against the United States will come even later.
