    The special envoy brought back a letter written by Marshal Rommel. General Yamamoto and General Minamino read the letter again and again. They always felt that something was wrong, but they could not find anything wrong. They also knew that the German left assault group was in Phoenix.  and its surrounding areas, surrounded most of the US Thirteenth Army.

    There are approximately 50,000 to 60,000 U.S. troops in the encirclement, and they rely on city defense. Although the Germans have an absolute advantage in strength, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate the U.S. troops in Phoenix within five or six days.  It would have been impossible for General Yamamoto himself to do it.

    Generals Yamamoto and Minamino, who were feeling a little depressed, had to temporarily give up the idea of ??letting the Germans send troops to attack Salt Lake City, and commanded the troops wholeheartedly to storm the US military's Dilera Mountain defense line.

    Since the German army began to attack, the lights of the U.S. Supreme Wartime Headquarters in Washington have been kept on all night. Battle reports from the southern battlefield and the western battlefield are flying in like flakes, and they are all bad news. There is a commotion in the headquarters.  Everyone was nervous and fearful.

    As the supreme wartime commander of the United States, President Roosevelt also moved his lounge to a small courtyard within the headquarters to facilitate timely handling of military affairs. Of course, Roosevelt was an outsider in specific military command operations, but this did not  It does not prevent him from looking at this war burning in the United States from a politician's perspective, which is related to the future and destiny of the United States.

    After many days of hard work, Roosevelt, who was suffering from illness, was getting worse and worse. Although the doctor had warned, "Mr. President can never work so hard again!"

    But how could Roosevelt rest in peace and recuperate? The United States is currently under a joint attack by the Germans and Japanese, one tiger and one wolf, coming from the south and west.  The war situation is absolutely unfavorable for the United States, and he cannot rest.

    Now.  It was late at night and the lights were on in Roosevelt's office.  Still lit, all members of the wartime high command were here to report to President Roosevelt on the situation on the battlefield.

    General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was reporting on Canada¡¯s dispatch of troops, ¡°Mr. President, so far, Canada has reinforced its troops in the Western Theater. More than 600,000 people have all arrived at the designated positions.  With the Lela Mountain defense line stabilized, we can finally take a breath!"

    President Roosevelt was sitting in a wheelchair, listening to Admiral Jefferfield's report with a calm face, but he was going through ups and downs in his heart. Others may not know it, but he knows it best.  Fortunately, I spent so much effort to get Canadians to send troops.  After all, they share the same culture, are connected by blood, and are closely related. In addition, Canada and the United States are inextricably linked, so they decided to send troops to the American battlefield.

    600,000 troops were dispatched. For Canada, the domestic regular troops were basically deployed.  It's not easy, for this.  Roosevelt was very grateful to Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King for helping the United States during its most critical moment.  Convince members of Congress to lend a hand.

    But President Roosevelt was deeply touched by his dealings with this old bachelor who was chubby, fat, boring in conversation, and ambiguous about his affairs. On the surface, Mackenzie King was not outstanding and had a mediocre appearance. It was said that he often discussed major political issues.  Ask the ghost of his mother for advice.

    But through in-depth contact, President Roosevelt had a completely different understanding of this seemingly clumsy Prime Minister. In fact, Prime Minister McKenzie was a shrewd, insistent, and wily politician, or a politician.

    Since they are both outstanding politicians or politicians, both are smart people, and both are not confused, they have a lot in common. Roosevelt and Mackenzie have a lot in common, especially Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie.  After receiving the invitation from President Roosevelt, he immediately flew to Washington to hold talks with the President of the United States without hesitation.

    Mackenzie was very shrewd and had a unique vision. He clearly realized that if Germany and Japan defeated the Americans and occupied most of North America, then Canada would not be able to stay out of the war and survive alone. The so-called "lips and teeth are cold"  "Every household is in danger." This is the truth. The aggressive Axis powers will not let Canada go. In a fundamental sense, saving the United States means saving Canada itself!

    The content of the closed-door discussion between two outstanding politicians is not known to the outside world. They only know that soon after, Canada sent out troops, almost all of the country's troops, with no strings attached, bringing its own guns, ammunition and supplies.  More than 100,000 Canadian soldiers came roaring towards us!

    The content of the secret conversation between the two men, apart from Canada sending troops, also has another outcome, which involves the Americans themselves. It is now buried in the heart of President Roosevelt and has not been disclosed to the outside world for the time being. It is not that it cannot be said, but if it is said out, I am afraid that  The whole country should be shocked!

    "About the Western Front"This is the situation on the scene!  General Jefferfield finished his report, looked at the president who seemed to be in a trance, and asked carefully: "Mr. President, do you have any instructions?"  "

    "Oh!" President Roosevelt was awakened from his memories and returned to reality. There was nothing new in Jeff Field's report. It was expected that Canada would send troops to the western battlefield to stabilize the crumbling defense line of the Dillera Mountains.  If more than 600,000 people fill in the matter, will it work?

    Roosevelt calmed down and asked: "Jeffrey, what is the current situation of our more than 300,000 troops who were cut off from behind the Germans on the southern battlefield? Are they following the orders of the Supreme Command?  Carry out the evacuation as scheduled?¡±

    "Mr. President, I was about to report this to you!" General Jefferfield's face looked as ugly as a dead man's. He swallowed dryly and said with difficulty.

    Looking at the ugly face of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Roosevelt suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. "Report it truthfully!" He took a deep breath and said calmly.

    "Yes! Mr. President!" General Jefferfield opened the folder in his hand and said in an interfering voice: "The situation is like this. After the wartime high command issued an order to withdraw from the first line of defense in the southern battlefield,  General Satlan, the commander of the southwestern border garrison, carried out the order seriously, and all his troops retreated across the board in accordance with the order! "

    "However, the speed of the German advance far exceeded our expectations, and the retreat order was issued too late. Now, all the troops belonging to the Southwest Border Guard Command are isolated behind the German army. Among them, Phoenix, St.  Troops in the Philippines and other places are still surrounded by German troops and cannot evacuate! "

    "The German army spread out horizontally on the Phoenix, Santa Fe and Austin lines, with a very obvious intention to cut off the retreat of my retreating troops. If they want to successfully withdraw to the second line of defense, they must break through the German blockade. This is the actual situation on the southwest battlefield.  Situation, Mr. President!¡±

    "I don't need a dry repeater! Just give me a report on the battlefield situation!" Roosevelt suddenly became furious and shouted sternly. A layer of gray-green appeared on his sallow face, which was rare for him, the most powerful person in the military.  The important assistant was embarrassed on the spot.

    All members of the U.S. Supreme War Command have never seen such a ferocious rage from Mr. President, and a chill surged from their hearts. Even though Mr. President was sitting in a wheelchair, his bones were broken, as if he could feel like he was at any moment.  They will all fall, but no one can deny that President Roosevelt is the most powerful among all previous American presidents, controlling the life and death of the entire United States!

    Facing the silent generals, Roosevelt was still furious, and his roar echoed in the conference room, "What I need to hear is that after such a bad situation occurs in the southwest battlefield, you, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, including the Department of Defense, including  Ministry of the Army, what solution can we come up with so that our more than 300,000 soldiers can safely and smoothly withdraw to the second line of defense and escape the fate of being surrounded or even annihilated by the Germans?¡±

    After venting his inner anger, Roosevelt collapsed in his wheelchair, breathing heavily, as if he had exhausted all his strength. The conference room was as quiet as death.

    Several giants in the U.S. military looked at each other. Finally, General Stimson, the Secretary of the Army, stood up and said: "Mr. President, regarding the current severe situation on the battlefield in the southwest, the Department of the Army has come up with two plans.  We can discuss it at the meeting and then decide!¡±

    Seeing that Mr. President was so weak that he was unwilling to raise his eyelids, but the expression on his face seemed to be listening, General Stimson had no choice but to continue: "The first plan is to focus on the troops on the second line of defense in the southwest battlefield.  Take the initiative to break the German lateral blockade, open a retreat channel, and connect with the first line of defense in the southwest battlefield. The troops blocked by the German army retreat! "

    "In this way, the available troops are nine armies, with about 450,000 troops, respectively sent out from the Oklahoma direction, the Denver defense line and the Baton Rouge direction for rescue. The remaining troops will stick to the second line.  Line of defense.¡±

    "The second plan is to divide all the troops blocked by the Germans on the southwest border battlefield into two lines, with Santa Fe as the dividing line to form a left-line army. The number of troops that can be assembled is about 150,000.  people, not seeking to break through the German attack, but to move towards the west coast."

    At this point, General Stimson paused, because he saw that President Roosevelt had opened his eyes, and stared at him viciously like a knife, with anger appearing on his withered face.

    "Roosevelt was so angry that he almost cursed people on the spot and gave Admiral Stimson a few big mouths. Is there anything more unreliable than this?"

    ¡°Every fool knows that the West Coast region has nowFalling into the hands of the Japanese, where the world is already dominated by the Japanese, you, the Minister of War, ask hundreds of thousands of soldiers to move to the west coast. What is the difference between letting these American soldiers surrender to their own death?

    But Roosevelt did not have an attack. He said coldly: "I need a reason!"
