Volume 2: My Country Chapter 625. The President¡¯s Choice

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While the German soldiers on the front line were fighting for the upcoming decisive battle, President Roosevelt in the United States was also deep in thought about two top-secret telegrams.

    One was sent earlier by Baron Alexon. The telegram clearly warned Roosevelt that Japan would attack Pearl Harbor around mid-December.

    Although Roosevelt didn¡¯t know where Baron Alexon got this information from, he knew very well that the Skeleton Baron would never deceive him about such a thing.

    As for another piece of intelligence, it was a Japanese Navy telegram deciphered by the U.S. intelligence agency. This telegram confirmed the authenticity of Baron Alexson¡¯s intelligence:

    The Japanese army is very likely to launch an attack on a certain naval base in the United States

    Now, it was up to Roosevelt to make the choice.

    He set his sights on his young assistant William, who was currently looking at the information without blinking.

    "What do you think, William?" Roosevelt asked, smoking a pipe.

    "I think it's true." William exhaled: "Both telegrams point to the Japanese intentions. Mr. President, I think we must make preparations in advance."

    "How to prepare?" Roosevelt asked.

    William was startled, this was such a strange question.  When the threat of war comes, of course, we must actively prepare for war and completely defeat Japan's sneak attack attempt.

    Just when he was about to answer, he suddenly remembered what his father once said to him:

    ¡°Consider everything from several aspects, bad things may not turn into good things¡±

    He suddenly understood something and was silent for a while. Then William opened his mouth and said: "Mr. President, maybe there is another way."

    "Oh? Then please tell me, Mr. William Wittgenstein." Roosevelt's words were full of encouragement.

    William thought carefully: "Right now, the economic crisis is spreading throughout the United States. Domestic unemployment remains high, prices are soaring, and your approval rating has also fallen to an all-time low. I remember we discussed last time that only war can change the situation.  All this, but it is a pity that we did not have such an opportunity. But now, I think we should thank Japan."

    A smile appeared on Roosevelt's lips: "William, William, my dear William, if others hear this, I guarantee you will be hanged. But I support you, maybe I should be hanged too?"

    William smiled, and Roosevelt continued: "Without these two telegrams, and never have, the Japanese would not have attacked Pearl Harbor, right?"

    "Yes, Mr. President."

    William looked solemn when he said this.  He knew the president had decided to ignore the two cables, and what would that entail?  The American soldiers at Pearl Harbor had no idea that catastrophe was coming.  Countless Japanese fighter planes will appear above their heads

    Heavy casualties and terrible losses are all catastrophic results

    However, this allowed President Roosevelt to calmly lead the United States to war and get rid of the domestic difficulties in the United States.

    Is this what a president should do?  But William also understands that the current President Roosevelt has no higher choice other than this.

    "William, tell me, is Baron Alexon really our friend? Does he really have no ill intentions towards the United States?" President Roosevelt's eyes fell on the two telegrams again: "Why did he warn us in advance?"

    When talking about his father again, William knew that this was the time for him to do something for his father and for Germany: "Mr. President, I don't know the true intention of Baron Alexson, but I at least know one thing. Since this Baron, Germany has  After returning, although the war was still going on, it showed friendliness in some aspects, especially in its attitude towards the United States. Sending this warning telegram may have other purposes, but at least one thing is certain.  Yes, he is trying to help the United States."

    President Roosevelt nodded: "In my opinion, Ernst is not a friend of the United States, but he is not an enemy of the United States either. He was very smart. He only chose to fight outside the British mainland and ordered to stop the bombing of the British mainland.  He is conveying goodwill, but he puts a difficult problem in front of us. Once we declare war on the Japanese, what attitude should we use towards Germany? Should we also declare war on Germany?  , I like this guy Baron Alexson, and the United States also has many supporters of him, including many large financial groups. Moreover, even if the US military really sends troops to Europe, do you think we will be able to defeat Germany, whose current situation is extremely good?  "

    "We just declared war on Japan. Although Japan has been negotiating with Germany for many years, the strange thing is thatGermany has never allowed them to join the ranks of the Axis Powers, but has excluded this country. They would rather ally with the Italians." William said slowly: "Mr. President, I am still thinking about a problem. The war cannot have only two endings.  , one is that the Allies win, then Russia, which is currently severely passive, will suddenly become a powerful country after victory, and the Red Bolsheviks will cause us terrible troubles. The second situation is that the Axis wins, and Germany will  To become the president of a big country, do you think it is better for Russia to be so powerful that it becomes the enemy of the United States, or for a strong Germany to appear in Europe?  "

    President Roosevelt nodded slightly, and then listened to young William continue: "After the end of World War I, we were the only country that did not sign the Treaty of Versailles, which allowed us to eliminate the Germans' suspicion of  Our hostility has maintained a good relationship with the United States. Why not make good use of it? We have only one enemy: Japan!¡±

    "William, you have grown up a lot." President Roosevelt picked up his pipe again: "Yes, we have only one enemy, Japan! We just declared war on Japan alone. I think this is what you want to express, right? Red Bolsheviks  The Soviet Union? Aha, I would rather see Russia in the Tsarist era. But we have to find out the true attitude of the Germans. How far are they prepared to take the war? Come on, we can do an experiment. William, Britain has accepted it.  After my suggestion, Ernst Brahm was approved to conduct a secret visit to the UK. Let us wait and see what compromises Germany and Britain can achieve during this visit."

    Did the UK accept Ernst Brahm¡¯s request for a visit?  William's heart suddenly relaxed

    "To send a secret telegram to Germany, use the secret radio station that communicates between us." President Roosevelt said seriously: "At the same time, I would like to express my personal thanks to Baron Alexson, my personal thanks and wish him good luck, and also  Good luck to America¡±

    At Wittgenstein Manor, Leonie, Hermione and Elliot also got the news from William.

    Leonie was not surprised at all. In her opinion, there was nothing that the Skeleton Baron could not do.

    Hermione and Elliot had another idea. During the economic crisis that spread throughout the United States, the Wittgenstein family, the Morgan family, and the Rockefeller family took advantage of the situation to annex a large number of factories and mining companies.

    Half of the economic destiny of the United States is controlled by these large conglomerates.

    At the same time, the "Wasp" organization also began to launch the most fierce attack on "our group".

    Once a war breaks out, the biggest beneficiaries can only be these large conglomerates, and a steady stream of huge profits will fall into their pockets.

    Therefore, no one is more eager to see the war coming than them.

    "I think this may be a trap that the Baron set up a long time ago," Elliott mused: "He single-handedly provoked this economic crisis, and then let us annex it, and he had long predicted that the United States would definitely  Will be involved in a war, and the war will bring us wealth that scares us. God, how did the Baron come up with these plans?"

    "There is nothing he can't do." Leonie said with a smile: "As long as he wants, he can do everything he is willing to do. Many people call him a madman, but I know he is not crazy, he just wants to  Do everything to perfection¡±

    William felt that he still didn¡¯t know his father well enough: ¡°The United Kingdom has agreed to the Baron¡¯s secret visit to London, but I am a little worried about the Baron¡¯s safety.¡±

    "The British will not do that, my dear William." Hermione smiled lightly: "The situation of the war has become very unfavorable to the British, and more importantly, the United States' current attitude is ambiguous, and the British are not that stupid.  , they know what terrible consequences will happen once they attack the Baron."

    "Don't worry, my child." Leonie also said: "No matter how many enemies there are, they can't hurt the Baron. His existence is a myth. Behind him, there is a powerful Germany supporting him.  And us, of course. What do you think, Elliot?"

    Elliot also had a smile on his face: "Yes, we also have many friends in the UK. We can definitely pass on the news about Baron Alexon's secret visit to London through different channels, so that more British people can  People know that the Baron came as a peacemaker and came to seek peace."

    The Baron - he came to seek peace.  Although this may sound uncomfortable to the British.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
