On the battlefield in northern France, the vanguard of the U.S. 3rd Army approached Paris on August 19, and the resistance groups in the city launched an anti-German uprising, and the Free French 2nd Panzer Division (Leclerc Division) preemptively entered the city to engage the Germans, and the U.S. Army's 28th Division then joined the engagement......

On the 25th, the commander of the German forces in Paris, General Dietrich von Scholtitz, abandoned the decision to blow up Paris at the last moment and surrendered to the Allies, allowing the city to be preserved!

Li Junhao, who was in Washington, received a report from the CIA and other intelligence departments that the German High Command had issued a telegram demanding that the German troops in France begin to retreat from France and "take everything that could be taken with them...... He knew that the Germans could not hold on! ——

At 3 p.m. on August 27, Li Junhao had just returned from the land and sea base in Virginia Beach when he received a call from Ayres, asking him to rush to the White House immediately......

Half an hour later, he came to Ayers's office, and saw that the other party was talking on the phone very anxiously, so he could only wait aside, guessing in his heart, what was going on?

Two minutes later, Ayres put down the phone and said with a subtle expression: "Ogg, Mr. President is seriously ill......"

Li Junhao was not surprised, he had noticed that Roosevelt's physical condition was not good, and he couldn't do without the medical staff around him wherever he went, and during this time, he learned from his own people that in addition to the president himself, most of the people in the White House knew that Vice Admiral Ross McIntyre, the personal doctor that the president relied on, Vice Admiral Ross McIntyre of the Admiralty's Medical and Surgical Service, was a quack!

After listening to Ayers's brief introduction, Li Junhao knew the situation: two days ago on the night, Roosevelt had a small myocardial infarction, and McIntyre suggested that conservative treatment should be carried out in the White House, but now the president's condition is getting more and more serious, and he has fallen into a coma for four hours!

"Ogy, what do you think we're going to do now?" Ayers said anxiously.

"Get a better doctor for the president!" Li Junhao said directly, "I don't believe in McIntyre!" ”

Hearing this, Ailes was stunned, of course he knew what he meant, but McIntyre was a person that Roosevelt trusted very much, and he couldn't make a decision.

Li Junhao knew what he was afraid of, so he said: "Discuss with several other consultants and jointly decide, I will find out the best internist in Washington now......"

Fifteen minutes later, when he returned to Ayers' office, Leahy, Hull, and Pena had already arrived, and after a brief discussion, everyone unanimously decided to follow his advice: find a new doctor! ——

A little more than an hour later, a combat squad of the 102nd Special Operations Regiment (New England Regiment) stationed in Baltimore arrived at the King's Building by helicopter and then rushed to the White House in a CIA official car......

Vicky, Lee's White House secretary, went out to pick up a person to Ayers' office and introduced: "This is Howard J. Brown, the chief of internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. G. Brunn! ”

After introducing each other, Ayles, who was more knowledgeable, gave a brief introduction to Roosevelt's condition and asked Dr. Brunn's opinion.

Brune frowned and thought for a moment before he said, "I'm sorry, sir, I need to see the patient's condition with my own eyes before I can make a diagnosis." ”

Seeing that everyone agreed, Pena, the legal counsel, took out a non-disclosure agreement for Brune to sign......

Brune didn't ask too much, he took it and signed it - in fact, when he was sent here, he guessed in his heart that he would definitely have to go through this procedure to see the owner of this house!

——

A moment later, the group came to the presidential bedroom on the southwest side of the second floor of the main building.

There were several people sitting in the living room outside the bedroom, although they were not familiar with each other, but Li Junhao knew them all, the president's daughter Anna Roosevelt Bertieger, Harry Lloyd Hopkins, the president's special assistant Harry Lloyd Hopkins, and the president's personal doctor, Vice Admiral McIntyre, saw a group of them appear, and all three of them stood up, not knowing what was happening!

Because President Roosevelt was not good at doing things, First Lady Anna Eleanor Roosevelt took his place for many years to carry out foreign visits, inspections, condolences and other work, and was inspecting US military bases in the Caribbean and Central America. In order to take care of Roosevelt's life, his daughter Anna lived in the White House, often performing the duties of first lady in place of her mother.

At this time, Anna was the first to speak, "Gentlemen, what are you here for?" As she spoke, she was a little nervous, afraid that something would happen to these people in front of her.

One of Roosevelt's closest friends, Secretary of State Hull said, "Anna, we've brought a doctor to see your father's condition. ”

“NO！” McIntyre, who was on the side, immediately said, "I'm the president's doctor...... and stepped forward to block everyone's way.

Lexi frowned, and said displeasedly: "Get out of the way, you are not qualified to stop us!" ”

Ayres said, "Harry, our four advisers have agreed on this, and Admiral Panson also supports this decision, what is your opinion?" ”

Only then did Harry Hopkins say, "I agree!" Although he was a close assistant to Roosevelt's side, and his invisible power in the White House was very great, and some people even called him the "shadow president" behind his back, but because he knew Roosevelt's stubbornness, although he was very dissatisfied with his blind belief in McIntyre, a quack, he had endured it and did not say it.

"NO......" McIntyre was about to say something, but when he saw Ayres wave his hand, the two Secret Service guards who had been standing guard at the gate immediately came in and put him out - as a national security adviser, he had the authority to direct the operations of the Secret Service in the absence of a clear objection from the president.

I don't know if Anna has the same mind as Harry, but instead turned around and opened the bedroom door at the back, inviting Dr. Brune in.

——

In the bedroom, President Roosevelt was still lying in a comatose bed, guarded by George Fox, his personal masseuse who had followed him for ten years, and a personal guard - these two were the president's most trusted people, and they were both sensible and good people, who never overstepped their authority.

Seeing everyone appear, George was a little surprised, Anna stepped forward to explain the situation, he immediately showed a happy gaze, and hurriedly got out of the bed.

After receiving the signal from Li Junhao, Dr. Bruun stepped forward and began to check on the president......

Ayers motioned for everyone to withdraw and not interfere with the doctor's work, leaving only Anna and George in the room to help, as well as the president's personal guard.
