For the first time in history, Hitler's speech was broadcast live on television for countries and regions where television could be seen.

Of course, those areas where there is no TV and only radio can also listen to it simultaneously.

As the roar that was so exciting that it was perverted sounded, Zhou Yu raised his hand and asked Liu Banxian to turn off the TV.

He rubbed his forehead, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hitler's speech level is really an innate talent, I have to say, I can't compare with him in this regard, and the only one who can compare with him is probably Roosevelt, I don't know if they watched this pre-war mobilization speech." ”

As soon as Zhou Yu finished saying this, the phone in the office rang suddenly, even if he hadn't picked it up yet, he could feel it, and there was a smell of urgency in the ringtone.

"Hey, I'm Bruce Chow."

As soon as he picked up the earpiece, he heard Roosevelt's voice coming firmly.

[Bruce, you're right again!] Adolf Hitler, that madman, he's really going to war! But can you really settle the battle in just one month, as you expected? 】

Zhou Yu laughed, and said in an unhappy tone: "I'm afraid that the war over there has already started at the same time as his speech, we can wait and see what happens, the most important thing for us at the moment is to do our own thing, only when we have the power to do things can we not be constrained, Franklin, it's up to you now." ”

[Don't worry, Bruce, I'm ready for everything, and I'm 100% confident that we'll be able to succeed!] 】

Of course, Roosevelt watched Hitler's speech in its entirety, and heard a strong sense of ambition and conspiracy in those extremely inflammatory words.

Zhou Yu was right, just as Hitler announced his determination to the whole world, one plane after another was formed and flew away from Germany, approaching the target like a dark cloud before a storm.

Hitler was bound to win this battle, and in one fell swoop sent 2,000 fighters to carry out air strikes on 21 airfields in the target territory, and many of the target's fighters were blown to pieces before they even had time to take off.

The German raids on the first day were also far more intense than many had imagined, with German bombers dropping thousands of aluminum and magnesium incendiary bombs that ignited an inextinguishable flame once they hit their targets.

Another weapon of great destruction is the 50-kilogram high-explosive bomb carried by the Heinkel bomber, which is mostly used to destroy buildings, and can also blow up the railway while leaving deep craters, in addition to causing physical damage to people, the mental blow is also unpredictable.

Not only that, but German ground forces were massing on the border at the same time as the air strikes.

In Pomerania and East Prussia, they assembled Army Group North, consisting of twenty-one divisions, under the command of three armies, commanded by Commander Quchler, Commander of the Fourth Army, Kruger, and Guderian, the head of the Panzer Army.

In this famous blitzkrieg in history, the German army invested a total of 44 divisions, including seven armored divisions, four lightly armored divisions, four motorized divisions, nearly 2,000 aircraft, 2,800 tanks, and a total of more than 880,000 people, or nearly 1.6 million if you count the reserve strength.

On the other hand, Poland, both in terms of numbers and equipment, has a large gap with the German army, coupled with the menacing and extremely strong impact of the other side, it is almost an undeclared war, which makes the defenders on the Polish side unprepared.

They also thought that the so-called war would still unfold as slowly as before, and that they would have enough time to deploy, garrison, and even diplomacy.

But I didn't expect that the German army would teach the world a lesson this time, and let everyone understand what is "blitzkrieg", what is "super-mobile" operations, and what is the coordinated operation of the air force and infantry.

Roosevelt and his think tanks fell silent for a long time.

"The war went on so fast that I didn't expect the Germans to grow so strong in silence."

Roosevelt put down the file and pinched his eyebrows.

Zhou Yu had already read these documents one step ahead of them, and said in the tone of a military researcher at this moment: "Although this result is somewhat unexpected, it is still reasonable, after all, the Polish army's thinking is decades behind Germany's starting and ending days?

And their commander-in-chief, who was overconfident in his military power, counted on the assistance of Britain and France, and deployed all his troops on the German border, thinking that a resolute counterattack would lead to victory? This arrangement has no strategic depth and, in the words of our country, puts all the eggs in one basket and will collapse completely if it is struck by the thunder of the German army.

Franklin, tomorrow is the official time, according to the Chinese federations in other states, this time your victory should be considered a certainty, no surprises. ”

Indeed, in recent years, when the Great Depression came, Hoover and his team performed extremely poorly, which also played a role in Roosevelt's subsequent performance.

After all, New York was the least affected by the financial turmoil, the most appropriate and the fastest to respond to the financial turmoil, which made residents of other states flock to it.

The New Yorkers who fled at the beginning of the disaster also returned, because they only found that the hard life they had criticized was hard to find in the eyes of out-of-state people.

Although everyone had absolute confidence in this time, Roosevelt did not let up, and he took to the streets to give interviews, give speeches, and frequently appear on the front pages of newspapers.

In the course of his speech, Roosevelt also emphatically and repeatedly put forward the term "New Deal".

He advocated reducing government spending, creating more jobs for the people through relief agencies, completely abolishing Prohibition, increasing regulation of the stock market, raising the price of agricultural products, and lowering taxes.

The New Deal advocated by Roosevelt is now circulating throughout the federal government, and it has unanimous support from the people at the bottom.

Moreover, with Zhou Yu's TV station and radio speaker, the content of Roosevelt's speech was radiated to the whole country and broadcast live.

[Compatriots, for those who wish to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, I assure you that I will not let you rejoice in vain, I will implement the New Deal in every aspect, this is not a rhetoric prepared for election campaigns, this is a national mobilization, I need your help, vote for me, let's build a federation of the people together!] 】

Roosevelt's exuberant expression and tone of voice reached everyone's ears through pictures and sounds.

He accepted Zhou Yu's suggestion and focused his strategy on the people at the bottom, because this part of the talent is the cornerstone of the federal government in the New World.

And as they expected, there was no more desperate people at the bottom of a country in a desperate time, who did everything they could to support Roosevelt, and even sat around the fire on the eve of the election, clasping their palms and praying to God.

In the end, the results were in, and Roosevelt won 22.81 million votes relative to Hoover's 1,575 votes, and the Democrats occupied nearly twice as many seats in the Senate as the Republicans, and nearly three times as many in the House of Representatives.

That night, Roosevelt was interviewed by a news reporter, facing the camera with a calm and deep expression, and said in a very magnetic voice: "This is the greatest night of my life, and it is not only a victory for me, but also a victory for the federal government." ”
