Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Washington, the capital of the United States, is the main bombing target of the German navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet and land-based aircraft fleet. The Capitol Building, the symbol of American democracy, is the focus of the key targets. A rough calculation shows that hundreds of people were hit.  A heavy aerial bomb.

    Those elite lawmakers who were meeting in the large conference hall of the Capitol to decide the fate of the United States suffered heavy casualties. Except for a few dozen lucky ones with a few scrapes, the others were either lying in coffins or in hospitals.  , groaning in pain. It is said that more than 20 people were trampled to death on the spot. The proposal to ask President Roosevelt to retire was naturally stillborn.

    Therefore, there is no resistance for President Roosevelt to continue to perform his duties as president and commander of the highest wartime headquarters. The military generals participating in the military meeting in the headquarters naturally know what the content of today's contact meeting between the House of Representatives and the Senate is.  !

    As a result, the generals looked at Roosevelt with different meanings. They wanted to get some clues from Mr. President's expression so that they would not make the wrong chair in the future, but they were disappointed.  Yes, Roosevelt looked calm.

    It may be that the air attack by the German Navy came too suddenly, was too large, and caused too serious losses. Lieutenant General Desker, the commander in charge of the defense of the east coast of the United States, has not yet recovered from the panic. It is more likely that he  Think of the responsibilities you will bear.

    When the German navy launched a large-scale air attack, Lieutenant General Desk knew that he was at a loss what to do and responded improperly, and what was even worse was that he was at a loss.  When Roosevelt gave the order, he foolishly removed Vice President Truman and was temporarily suspended from office.

    It would be easy to say if he was suspended forever.  It was left to the deputy commander, Lieutenant General Buckson, to take the blame. But now that Roosevelt had resumed his duties, he chose to make a report. It was not without the element of taking the opportunity to retaliate, and there was such fear and worry.  His report was incomprehensible, confused and unclear, and his lips were trembling.  In many places, the generals don't know what the lieutenant general is talking about?

    Roosevelt also frowned after hearing this, probably thinking that Lieutenant General Desker was too outrageous.  Then interrupted him.  "Lieutenant General Desker, what the wartime high command needs to know is our losses. Please tell me the key points! As the commander of the East Coast Defense, you can't be ignorant of everything, right? If so, it is a serious dereliction of duty!  "

    Lieutenant General Desk wiped the sweat from his forehead, stars were flying in front of his eyes, his hands were trembling, and he thought to himself: "It's over. The charge of dereliction of duty has been laid first!"

    At this moment.  A lieutenant colonel came in hurriedly, lay down in Roosevelt's ear, and whispered something?

    Roosevelt was stunned for a moment, frowned and then relaxed, and said: "Okay, today's meeting is over. It will continue tomorrow. Lieutenant General Desker, at tomorrow's meeting, your Eastern Defense Command will come up with something."  Detailed situation report coming!¡±

    Then, Roosevelt rocked the wheelchair and went out. The remaining senior officers looked at each other in confusion. No one cared about Lieutenant General Desker, but they were guessing why President Roosevelt suddenly interrupted the meeting?

    In a spacious room at the wartime high headquarters, there were more than twenty well-dressed people with different expressions and ages sitting there. Everyone naturally exuded the aura of someone who has lived for a long time.

    Roosevelt's wheelchair appeared at the door. His eyes glanced around, a look of ridicule flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it well. The group of people in the room had a lot of background. They were among the major interest groups in the United States.  The leaders of Washington are also their agents, people who move the wind and rain in various fields in the United States.

    Of course, these are just some of the interest groups that influence the destiny of the United States. Others probably didn't have time to get to Washington. However, being able to appear here clearly means that they have reached some kind of consensus.

    Roosevelt knew very well that after the German planes bombed the east coast, these big guys came to see their purpose and said unceremoniously: "Gentlemen, you are all busy people. I  This person doesn¡¯t like to talk in circles. Besides, the east coast has just been bombarded by German planes. If you have anything to say, you might as well speak openly.¡±

    In Yangon, the Indochina Peninsula, the division commander and chief of staff, Major General Zhao Yuhe, walked into the office of division commander Tang Qiuli with several pieces of intelligence. "Commander, I just received intelligence from the Intelligence Division. One of them was from the U.S. Congress.  The House of Representatives and the Senate have launched a proposal to ask President Roosevelt to resign!¡±

    After saying that, Tang Qiuli handed over the information without even looking at it. He put it on the table and said, "It's just a farce!" He didn't believe that Roosevelt would be ousted at this time. He also  You know, members of the United States Congress, launch??The candidate to succeed Roosevelt must be Vice President Truman. If those members of the U.S. Congress really oust Roosevelt when the United States is in trouble at home and abroad, then the United States will not be far from national subjugation!

    "What is the content of the other information?" Tang Qiuli asked.

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "It is still related to the United States. Just yesterday morning Eastern Time, the German Navy dispatched nearly 3,000 combat aircraft to carry out large-scale bombings on all important cities on the east coast of the United States.  It lasted all day, and according to the intelligence we received, Washington was the most severely bombed, and the US military's combat aircraft also suffered relatively heavy losses!"

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli took the telegram in surprise, read it carefully, and then said with emotion: "In just two or three years, the speed of the German navy's development is astonishing! It has the ability to  The Atlantic Ocean has launched an attack on the United States, and the German navy has grown rapidly, which is another uncertain factor! "

    "Teacher, what are you worried about?" Zhao Yuhe was keenly aware of the worry in the teacher's eyes and asked.

    Tang Qiuli looked at the large military map on the wall and said: "The growth of the German Navy will inevitably activate Hitler's ambitions. If he only focuses on the Atlantic Ocean, it has nothing to do with us. If the German Navy's eyes, or  It is said that Hitler¡¯s eyes are fixed on the Pacific Ocean, so there will be unexpected variables in our future operations against the Japanese Navy in the Pacific Ocean!¡±

    "Yuhe, you know that our current naval power is not even as good as the Japanese navy. If we add a stronger German navy, what will happen in the Pacific in the future?"

    Zhao Yuhe was silent. Of course he knew the deep meaning of the division commander's words. After destroying the Japanese, would the division still have to compete with the German navy for supremacy in the Pacific?

    "However, such a situation will not occur within one or two years. The Germans have to get past the Japanese first, which gives us enough time!" Tang Qiuli's next words made Zhao Yuhe  My heart suddenly relaxed.

    "The German Navy's large-scale bombing of the east coast of the United States showed its muscles on the one hand, and on the other hand, it helped Roosevelt a lot. He did not have to worry about being ousted by members of Congress!" Tang Qiuli said of the German Navy  of this massive bombing campaign.

    Tang Qiuli temporarily put aside his inner worries and said: "Yuhe, let the Intelligence Department pay more attention to the internal situation in the United States in the near future. If my predictions are correct, Roosevelt will definitely make big moves. The political structure of the United States, I'm afraid,  There is going to be a big reshuffle, which is not good news for the Germans and Japanese! By the way, do you need other information? "

    "Yes, Commander, you must be interested in this information!" Zhao Yuhe said, taking out a piece of information from the folder, "It is about Japan's deployment of troops from the occupied areas of the Southwest Pacific, including Australia, to reinforce North America.  Information from the battlefield!"

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows. He was obviously very concerned about this information. After receiving it, he looked carefully and saw that the expression on his face was constantly changing.

    After a while, Tang Qiuli raised his head, looked at Zhao Yuhe and asked cautiously: "Yuhe, is the information reliable? Has it been confirmed through multiple channels?"

    "Very reliable!" Zhao Yuhe replied affirmatively. "The intelligence network of the Intelligence Department and the infiltration teams of the special operations detachment all sent the same intelligence. In addition, Director Bai Luoyu of the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Intelligence Department intercepted the Japanese base camp.  After deciphering the messages exchanged with the Japanese troops in the Japanese-occupied area of ??the Southwest Pacific, the above content was also obtained. Therefore, this is information that has been mutually verified by three channels and is absolutely accurate! "

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuli shouted, "Yuhe, please issue a notice immediately. Three days later, in the morning, a military meeting will be held at the division headquarters. The people attending the meeting include those currently gathered in Indochina and Hainan Island.  Commanders and chiefs of staff of all corps, members of the Naval Fleet Command and commanders and chiefs of staff of each squadron, all members of the Southern Flying Group Command of the Aviation Forces, commanders and chiefs of the naval and air bases in the Chagos Islands, Armored Forces Command  All members, division directors!¡±

    "Yes! Division Commander!" Zhao Yuhe saluted excitedly and left in a hurry. He knew that judging from the scale of the upcoming military meeting, the division commander was probably about to launch a military operation against the Japanese-occupied islands in the southwest Pacific.

    Looking at Zhao Yuhe¡¯s excited back, Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head, and immediately launched the Southwest Pacific campaign plan. I¡¯m afraid the time has not come yet, and the North American battlefield has not yet reached the point where the Japanese cannot escape.

    However, the Japanese have transferred some troops from the occupied areas of the Southwest Pacific, especially Australia. The troops are extremely empty. This is a good opportunity. The original campaign plan, partial modifications need to be made, and the combat tasks undertaken by each corps have also changed.

    Walking to the window, Tang Qiuli looked across the sky of Indochina to the other side of the ocean. "Roosevelt, should you be preparing for a scorched earth battle?" he said to himself.
