Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Jeff Field, chairman of the U.S. Army Chiefs of Staff Contact Conference, was worried. He was worried.  , after the Japanese gain a foothold in the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii will become the bridgehead for the Japanese to attack the United States.

    The battle for the islands in the South Pacific and the war in the Hawaiian Islands are not the same concept at all. The former is a battle for overseas colonies, while the latter is a war on the doorstep of the United States. In a sense, the Japanese are already approaching.  The core level of the U.S. strategic defense circle has touched the psychological bottom line of Americans.  .

    The destruction of the Pacific Fleet, the backbone of defense in the Pacific, has made it possible for Japanese bombs to be dropped on the United States. God knows whether those crazy Japanese will drop bombs tomorrow morning.  To downtown San Francisco?

    Just as General Jefferfield drove to the White House in a hurry, US President Franklin Roosevelt was suffering the most significant blow in his life.

    When the Navy reported the devastating news of the Pacific Fleet¡¯s annihilation to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a report with the same content arrived on President Roosevelt¡¯s desk.

    The dry and ruthless report of the Navy Department, line by line, stung President Roosevelt's heart. The huge, seemingly invincible Pacific Fleet, the backbone of the defense of the United States' west coast, was attacked by the Japanese within two days.  After that, it was wiped out. Roosevelt could not accept this fact no matter what. It was a huge blow, not only psychologically, but also spiritually.

    In the United States, the United States has not yet fully prepared for war, and the domestic defense circle is not perfect. The destruction of the Pacific Fleet means that the west coast of the United States "is like a scantily clad beauty but has no ability to resist."  Watching the Japanese pervert rushing towards me with blood-red eyes, as well as the confidence and courage of the people, is a torture!

    "Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Fleet, Japanese!" President Roosevelt murmured to himself, repeating these three seemingly unrelated names that caused a chain reaction, and several young secretaries on the side heard it.  , sad and bitter.

    Looking at Mr. President's sallow and haggard face, his dull eyes, and his thin, slender, bloodless hands, holding the report from the Navy Department, they were trembling nervously." The secretaries couldn't help but choked in their hearts.  I sympathize with His Excellency the President's current situation, but there is nothing I can do to share some of the burden for him. I can only do my best to do my job.

    If several young secretaries of President Roosevelt knew the current mood of Secretary of State Mr. Helsingli, they would not think that the president is the person in the worst mood in the United States, because Secretary Helsingli, at this moment,  Facing the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Kazuo Takashima.

    U.S. Secretary of State Helsinki is a senior U.S. diplomat. He has always been so gentle and polite. There is no anger on his face and eyes. Of course, this does not prevent him from showing off in this manner.  Under the cover of appearance, they use various methods that are either fair or despicable for the benefit of the United States of America.

    However, Mr. Secretary of State has always believed that being polite, calm and self-reliant are one of the most basic qualities of a diplomat." He has been doing this, but today, Mr. Helsingri faced the Japanese Ambassador to the United States.  Kazuo Takashima has a tendency to go berserk.

    Just thirty minutes ago, Kazuo Takashima asked to meet with Secretary of State Helsinki. It just so happened that the Secretary of State himself was also trying to meet with Kazuo Takashima to "report to the Japanese government regarding the Japanese military's brazen attack on the South Pacific Islands and the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor."  File the most serious protest." Although Mr. Secretary of State knows full well, this is just rhetoric at the diplomatic level.

    The Japanese will not withdraw their troops because of the solemn protest of the U.S. government. As far as the current extremely bad relationship between the United States and Japan is concerned, any protest is ineffective. The only way to solve the problem is war. However, Helsinki  Secretary of State, we still have to follow diplomatic procedures. Maybe after the protest, the United States will declare war on Japan, I thought to myself!

    Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Takashima Kazuo said dryly before Helsingri could say anything: "Secretary of State Helsingri, I am meeting with you today in accordance with the instructions of our Imperial Japanese government to discuss the U.S. **  The troops, in the South Pacific region, constantly provoked our Imperial Japanese Army, and caused many murders, causing the relationship between the two countries to be irreparably broken, and sent a declaration of war to the U.S. government! "

    "From the moment your country accepted the declaration of war from the Empire of Japan, our two countries have been in a state of war. Any previous agreements signed between the two countries have become invalid. This is the text of the declaration of war. Please forward it to Secretary of State Helsinki.  To Mr. Roosevelt, President of your country, I personally express my deep regret for this result.regret!  "

    Secretary of State Helsinki¡¯s face was ashen, and the blood vessels on his temples were ¡°bumping¡±, and you could even hear the sound of blood flowing.  He stood up from his seat and stared at Takashima Yiichi with a murderous gaze.  At this moment, Xin Li suddenly had the urge to strangle the Japanese to death.

    Taking a deep breath, suppressing his furious emotions, Helsingri almost gritted his teeth and said: "Ambassador Takashima, this is what I have seen, the most despicable, shameless, and confusing person in the world.

    The most abhorrent declaration of war, history will record this moment. The United States of America was insulted and hurt by the insidious, despicable, and dishonest Japan!  "

    "The U.S. military is constantly provoking the Japanese army in the South Pacific? Ambassador Takashima, there should be a limit to withdrawing lies. What about Pearl Harbor? What about Midway? Where are the innocent souls of the tens of thousands of soldiers of our Pacific Fleet? Are they fighting in the South Pacific?  Where are the American soldiers who fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the islands? Do they agree with your Japanese government¡¯s statement?¡±

    "A despicable sneak attack and an undeclared war. The war has been going on for six days. The blood of tens of thousands of American soldiers has been withdrawn in the Pacific Ocean. However, your Japanese government has sent a declaration of war. Ambassador Takashima, have you ever seen such a war?"  A country that is treacherous and has no shame at all?¡±

    Despite Secretary of State Helsinki's sharp words, questioning and anger, Takashima Kazuo's face remained as calm as a breeze blowing in his ears, showing no hint of embarrassment or rebuttal. Shinou remained as calm as a mountain.  .

    Kazuo Takashima also understood Helsinki's anger. After all, the Imperial Japanese Army had successively succeeded in the South Pacific Islands and killed the Pacific Fleet, which the Americans regarded as the defense barrier on the west coast. They had taken such a big advantage and allowed the United States to  It is reasonable for people to get angry. No matter how powerful your mouth is, it cannot be compared to a hard fist. Only when you take advantage is it serious!

    His face has been regarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a rag to absorb the spit of Americans. From a diplomat's point of view, Takashima also believes that the government has gone too far. Disgusting people don't give such disgusting things to Americans.  After a few punches, which made him dizzy, there was no need to spit in the American's face. How should I put it, it was a bit unkind and inconsistent with Ambassador Takashima's principles of conduct.

    If we look at it from the perspective of the citizens of the Japanese Empire who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, Takashima sees the anger of the Americans. This is a kind of helpless anger, or even the only reaction that the weak can make in the face of the strong. This reaction,  This is what Takashima is happy to see. At the very least, it represents the official attitude of the United States. Americans are panicked and even angry!

    The Japanese ambassador to the United States, Kazuo Takashima, is like an old monk. He lets Secretary of State Helsinki spit on him, and he seems to accept it calmly!

    Helsingri realized that he had lost his composure, and his tone turned calm but cold and said: "Ambassador Takashima, dealing with the Japanese government is the most humiliating experience for this profession in my decades of diplomatic career, and it is also my personal experience.  It¡¯s a shame, I accept the declaration of war, my attitude is that of the United States of America, you can leave, I don¡¯t want to see any Japanese again!¡±

    Kazuo Takashima stood up, bowed politely, and then turned around and walked away. Secretary of State Helsingborg looked at the back of the Japanese with hatred, feeling that there was a breath in his heart that he could not spit out or swallow.  If it doesn't stop, the blockage makes him feel upset, his heartbeat speeds up, and his blood pressure rises.

    After finally calming down, Helsingri picked up the phone and called the Office of the President of the White House. "Mr. President, this is Helsingborg. Just now, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Kazuo Takashima, on behalf of the Japanese government, spoke to  Our country has officially submitted a declaration of war. From this moment on, we have entered a state of war with Japan!  "

    Roosevelt listened blankly to Helsinki's call, was silent for a while, and replied: "As our proper response, we will immediately expel all personnel of the Japanese Embassy in the United States and give them twelve hours to leave.  Otherwise, we will be treated as spies. I will immediately ask Congress to convene an emergency meeting to pass the proposal to declare war on Japan!¡±

    Putting down the phone and giving a wry smile, President Roosevelt's face flushed a little sickly. He turned to General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and said: "Jeff Field, the Japanese declared war on us. Six days after the war broke out,  We have just officially declared war. We don¡¯t have to have any illusions about Japan! We can only fight with all our strength!¡±

    Jefferfield's face darkened and he said: "Mr. President, the top priority right now is to repel or annihilate the Japanese army attacking the Hawaiian Islands. We originally planned to reinforce the troops in the Hawaiian battlefield, because the Pacific Fleet was completely annihilated.  If we are unable to set off on time, I suggest that we transfer the Third and Fourth Fleets from the European battlefield to reorganize the Pacific Fleet!"

    After looking at President Roosevelt's face, Admiral Jefferfield continued: "In view of the dangerous situation in the South Pacific battlefield, I suggest thatThat is to ask for help from the Chinese government. In fact, it is asking for help from Tang Qiuli, the man who is most capable of solving the crisis in our army's South Pacific battlefield!  "
