Chapter 1029: Fengyunhui Imperial Capital (1)(1/2)
The sudden attack by Germany had a great impact on the entire battle situation. Although everyone knew that the Germans would always launch wars against the Soviet Union, when this day really came, some people breathed a sigh of relief and some were worried.
I breathed a sigh of relief because it would be impossible for the Soviet Union to join Germany. At least the United States had one more ally. And I was worried because once the Soviet Union failed, Germany, which had obtained a large amount of Soviet resources, would be in a state of unstoppable momentum.
By then, the Bering Strait will be in danger. The British are now in a state of perseverance, and if the Germans are asked to destroy the Soviet Union and Canada, they will not be able to defend them.
"Transfer troops to support the Soviet Union immediately!" This was the first order issued by Roosevelt at the emergency meeting, and the second order was "build a position in the Bering Strait. If the Soviets could not defend it, we would not expect the British.
”
After just receiving the news that Germany had started war against the Soviet Union, the entire US cabinet fell into chaos. Roosevelt and a large group of disheveled generals and their staff were discussing how to deal with the current situation.
But in just a few hours, the news from the Soviet Union made them feel heart-sinking-Germany had already broken through four Soviet defensive positions and even captured more than 200,000 Soviet troops.
This reminded Roosevelt of the tactical deductions made by the War Department on the Soviet Union and Germany before the war, which showed that the Soviet Union could last for about three months to half a year.
This depends on the strength of the United States' support. If the United States' support is in place, they can even last for a year. Therefore, after learning that the Soviet Union had been captured by more than 200,000 troops, Roosevelt ordered the US military to go to the Soviet battlefield without hesitation.
Roosevelt once thought about the situation after the war, but he never thought that Germany's attack would be so fierce. Just the first day of the war, the Soviet Union had already lost more than 200,000 people.
By counting this way, how long can the Soviet troops last for only more than three million yuan? This is an unknown number that no one can say.
The outbreak of the Soviet-German War also means that Germany has dispatched most of its fleet to support the Soviet battlefield. The Atlantic Ocean is temporarily calm.
So Roosevelt ordered the Atlantic Fleet to immediately rush to the Soviet Union without hesitation, at least to ensure that the materials supplied by the United States to the Soviet Union could be kept unobstructed.
At the same time, a large number of American troops began to assemble and head to Canada under the orders of Roosevelt. There, they would join the coalition forces organized by Britain and France, and then go to the Soviet Union to fight.
"Friends of the United States of America, we are now facing the most powerful and terrifying enemy in America's history. They are not only raging in Europe, they have even arrived in the Soviet Union! They want to cross the Bering Strait and threaten this free land.
God’s people…”
Roosevelt began to use his oratory skills, and he delivered war speeches to the entire United States on the radio.
"But! The free people never succumb to violence. We will use our blood and fists to tell those enemies who are trying to invade us--they will go to hell!"
"The free people of the United States! Now it's time for God to test us. Should we surrender or fight against violence!" Roosevelt's speech on the radio was so passionate, and the tone kept beating the emotions of those listeners in his tone
.
"And I, the 32nd President of the United States of America, will declare on behalf of those voters who trust me: America will never surrender! The star-striped flag will always fly proudly! Our warriors will break through the enemy's positions and tell the invaders they
You will pay the price for your recklessness!”
"God will bless us, Amen..."
Singing "The Stars and Stripes Never Fall". After the US military assembled, it quickly drove to Canada. Eisenhower, who was in Moscow, was appointed as the commander of the Soviet Expeditionary Force by Roosevelt.
He will be responsible for all the US military's wars in the Soviet Union and also be responsible for communicating with the Soviet Union. The 700 m4 Sherman tanks that had just opened the production line were equipped to active service.
They will follow the US military to the Soviet battlefield. At the same time, they will also go there with 1,200 P-47 Thunderfighters developed by Alexander Katvi and Alexander P Sevisky!
Under Roosevelt's order, the US military used all its strength. The only requirement was to be able to win the war!
Ensure the safety of the Bering Strait. Of course, while Roosevelt sent his troops to the Soviet Union, he also built a defense line in the Bering Strait and Britain. Once the Soviet Union is in trouble, defending the Bering Strait will become the choice they must make.
As early as after the British territory was occupied, the British who arrived in Canada were afraid that such a thing would happen again and began to explore where the Bering Strait was the most suitable landing.
All of these were gathered into information and placed in the British parliamentary archives. Roosevelt could naturally get these. While sending troops to the Soviet Union, he also sent people to start building fortifications at those possible landing sites.
"Let Stilwell contact the tiger. If possible, we hope they can send troops to the Soviet Union as soon as possible..." Roosevelt rubbed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly: "Tell them. If you have any requirements, please discuss them.
But sending troops is a must.”
"Don't worry about the recurrence of the British. We in the United States will ensure that they can definitely get what they want..."
Roosevelt knew the idea of the National Wehrmacht and the tiger. Undoubtedly, they would not be willing to send troops to the Soviet Union unless the Soviet Union was disabled. But if the Soviet Union was disabled, it would mean that the Bering Strait would be threatened.
This is what Roosevelt considered the most. He must ensure the safety of the Bering Strait, because it is related to the safety of the United States.
"His Excellency President, I'm blunt." Marshall put down the notes in his hand and said to Roosevelt: "This may be more difficult..."
"Oh?!Why? Is the Union Government's appetite bigger than I thought?!" Roosevelt raised his head and asked Marshall.
Marshall shook his head and said, "It's not this question. In fact, if we make a request to China, they probably won't reject our request. And the conditions they put forward will not be too much..."
"What I said is that those British people will definitely not agree..." Marshall smiled bitterly: "Last time I just gave up Southeast Asia, which had been occupied by the Japanese, and these British people were going crazy. Some British members even had some British parliamentarians.
We are still thinking about the Yin coalition government..."
"Hmph! I will communicate with Prime Minister Churchill about this matter. If he can't do it, I will let the Chinese choose the post-war interests first." Roosevelt snorted coldly: "These British people have been comfortable for too long.
.I don’t know how to get the sword and gun?”
Marshall smiled and said nothing, but in fact he also had the same view. The British fleets with large numbers and advanced weapons were beaten by the Germans overnight.
That's fine, but then they even captured the land. As the leaders of the country, not only did they not think about how to resist the attacking German army, but the first thing they thought of was to escape with their king.
Their choice directly led to the weakest resistance in Britain now. The British nationals who were abandoned by the parliamentarians chose to live under the rule of the Germans who accepted their fate.
Most of the liaison officers who went to try to organize the resistance force were arrested after being reported. The most aggrieved person was to die of heart. This sentence was vividly expressed in the already fallen English.
"Ah... the British. If possible, I hope the coalition government can replace them." Roosevelt said unhappily: "At least, they drove out the Japanese who occupied their territory. But they,
He was driven out of his capital by the Germans."
Marshall was not easy to interfere with this sentence, so he could only smile. Then, Marshall saluted Roosevelt and turned away.
At 8:00 a.m. on May 15, 1940, the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union announced its official joining the Allies and declared war on Germany. At the same time, they condemned Germany's despicable act of undeclared war. The Chairman of the Committee Trotsky claimed that the Soviet Union would not surrender.
The Soviet Union will continue to fight until the invaders leave their land.
Germany claimed that it did not declare war. They had handed over the declaration of war to Kalinin, vice chairman of the Soviet Union's Supreme Committee, half an hour before the war began.
At the same time, Germany said that its attack on the Soviet Union was only because Trotsky, chairman of the Soviet Supreme Council, violated the previous agreement between them and Germany and forcibly took away the mines and oil wells that were traded to its own.
What Germany is doing now is nothing more than to take back the assets it once stolen. If the Soviet Union was honest, then they should return these to Germany...
In short, the two sides were fighting on the battlefield and there were no less verbal battles. Ribbintrov returned to Berlin smoothly. His mission in the Soviet Union has now ended.
Next, he is likely to go to China to try to convince the tiger to join the Axis powers. Then he will directly form a pincer attack with the German army from the rear of the Soviet Union, namely the Siberian region.
Completely, defeat the Soviet Union at the fastest speed. Although Hitler was arrogant, he knew more than anyone that the advantage that Germany has gained is only temporary. Once winter comes, the entire Soviet battlefield will become a nightmare.
Therefore, Germany must seize the Soviet Union as quickly as possible before winter comes. Otherwise, the two sides will reach a stalemate and Germany will not have any advantage.
"Your Highness, Hiroshima sent a telegram to tell us a serious news..." The head of the Chinese class in Daeying Xianyuan Miyashi walked in with a gloomy face.
Zairen, Shin-in, is now immersed in the news of Germany's victory. While sighing at the power of Germany, he was secretly cursing why Ishihara Kan-r had not made any progress now. He was simply asking the Germans to underestimate it.
"Oh?!What news?!" When I heard that it was Hiroshima, I didn't have to think that it was about Germany.
"The Germans try to get them to join the Axis powers in contact with China..."
"Nani?! Madei Yelang!! These damn white pigs have no credibility at all. We and them are allies! That damn China is just a second-rate country..."
The head of the Xianyuan Palace suddenly roared angrily in the office while listening to the words of the head of the school. However, the head of the school was unmoved. He had been used to the anger of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"What did Hiroshima say?! Read the telegram to me in full..."
"Hai..." The head of the section chief directly executed the order of the Immortal Palace without hesitation. Hiroshima's telegram was very simple, and he got a message through his diplomatic relations in Berlin.
The head of state is starting to send people to China to try to contact the Chinese coalition government to join the Axis powers. Mussolini, in Italy, is also supportive of this matter.
The strength shown in Japan on the Chinese battlefield, Southeast Asian theater and the Soviet battlefield is really dissatisfied with Hitler and Mussolini.
On the contrary, they were interested in the slaughter of tigers that had been in contact with, drove the Japanese out of China and recovered some of the Southeast Asian regions.
And the tiger has been slaughtering until now, and it is still ambiguous in dealing with the relationship between Europe's Axis powers. Moreover, the tiger does not seem to have the intention to go to war against Germany and Italy.
What they now focus on is only dealing with the Japanese, and they will chase them wherever the Japanese go.
"Odao reported, he hopes that we can show the strength of the empire in this war. Otherwise, perhaps Germany will consider letting China replace Hiroshi's current position..." Xianyuan Palace summoned the staff of the camp to come together.
Analyze this matter.
Everyone was talking nonsense, but no one came up with a feasible plan. The only thing they were sure of was that what Oshima said was not groundless.
If Japan cannot show its strength in this war, then Germany will undoubtedly consider winning over China. This approach is extremely unfavorable for Japan.
Now Japan has seized the territory of the former European and American forces in Southeast Asia and also sneaked into Pearl Harbor. In Bataan, the march used British and American prisoners of war to mine and kill many prisoners.
In this case, they are almost the deadly enemies of Britain and the United States! If they don’t knock them down, Britain and the United States will never give up. In other words, Japan has no way out now and can only walk on the ground.
They are not like China. On the one hand, they have not offended Germany and Italy to death. On the other hand, they have not completely cut off ties with Britain and the United States. They are also fighting the war and are also the targets of all parties to fight for.
"Where are we going to come to support the Soviet Expeditionary Force?! Southeast Asia is in danger. Although the National Defense Force has temporarily stopped its attack, who can guarantee that they will not launch again?! Who dares to say when will they launch?!"
Dagang Chief Miyake Miyake jumped up and said loudly: "I know it is necessary to draw troops to fight in the Soviet Union, but how to draw this is something we must discuss!"
"The troops in Southeast Asia must not act rashly, this will affect the place of resource acquisition in the empire. Once any problems arise there, all industries in the empire will be shut down. The industry will be shut down. Do you know what this means in the war?
?!"
What the camp is now arguing about where to draw troops from to fight in the Soviet Union. The troops drawn last time were on the one hand, on the one hand, the elite troops of Japan and Turkey.
On the other hand, some elite troops were drawn from Southeast Asia. In the end, most of the troops were recruits who had just left the training ground.
But even so, the gap in the military force was extremely troubled by Hirohito. On the one hand, Hirohito was extremely sensitive to Tu's military force, and he had ordered that those guard divisions were no longer allowed to be drawn from Tu to the battlefield.
If the new recruits were used, no one dared to say what the battle would be like. So someone proposed to draw troops from Southeast Asia to support the Soviet battlefield.
But obviously, this also encountered great resistance. As Miyake said, Southeast Asia is too important for Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is now the lifeline of Japan.
"Miyayao. You need to know that if we don't show the strength of the empire on the Soviet battlefield, the consequences will be even worse!" Colonel Yanagawa stood up and retorted: "Now Germany is considering repositioning China! You know
