The door opened slightly, and in came Jim, the director of the CIA.
The decoration of the small restaurant is obviously very warm and pleasant. The walls are decorated with light yellow wallpaper. The room is filled with old-fashioned furniture collected by previous presidents. There is a rectangular dining table in the center of the restaurant.
In the center is Roosevelt sitting in a wheelchair. It is obvious that the president has finished his breakfast. At this moment, there is a stack of newspapers on his knees. Roosevelt, wearing a pair of glasses, is looking attentively.
"It's the same old story again. The life of an American boy is the most precious, and we cannot fall into the swamp of World War I again."
Roosevelt put down the newspaper and cursed in a low voice: "Even the Germans and Chinese people know how to carve up the big cake of Soviet Russia and work hard for this cake. But some people dream all day that cakes can fall from the sky. They think
Is there really such a thing as getting something for nothing in this world?”
Roosevelt, who had taken off his glasses, gently rubbed his tired eyes, shook his head and lay on the backrest. He was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the isolationist congressmen in the country, thinking that he had the protection of the two oceans.
The United States can sit back and relax. Little does anyone know that there are any insurmountable natural chasms and barriers in the world. The only difference is the time it takes to be breached.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. President." Jim walked to Roosevelt and said, "This is the intelligence sent back by our agents from Japan, and this is the intelligence sent to us by the Chinese intelligence agency through their embassy.
, here is the analysis and summary of this intelligence by our analysts, I think it is necessary for you to take a detailed look." Jim handed a folder to Roosevelt with both hands.
"Thank you, Jim." Roosevelt gently took the folder and looked at it one by one. He closed the folder for a long time and pondered for a long time before saying: "Has the accuracy of the intelligence been verified?"
"It's been verified, Mr. President." Jim said calmly.
"Have even the Chinese sent an alarm?" Roosevelt raised his hands and gently rubbed his temples. Jim stood aside and did not dare to disturb him. He knew that this was a symptom of the president's thinking.
After a while, Roosevelt stopped and said: "Jim, I'm not surprised at all that the Japanese would launch a surprise attack on our country, because according to estimates, the Japanese have very little oil and resources left. If they don't find new ones as soon as possible,
Within a year, all their warships and cars will have to stop. But what puzzles me is why the Chinese would also send an alarm to our country."
Jim shook his head, "Mr. President, I can't understand this. According to normal logic, even if China knows that the Japanese are going to attack us, they don't need to notify us. If I were the president of China, I would
Pretending to know nothing and then using the hands of the Japanese to consume our strength is in the interest of their country."
"So this is why you are not the president of China, but just the director of the US Intelligence Agency." Roosevelt made a little joke.
"Perhaps the president of China wants to use this method to ease relations with our country. You must know that their relationship with Germany is not what it used to be. They also need an ally now. What do you think?" Jim thought for a long time.
Only then did I get this result.
"I don't understand it now. You have to know that you should never use Western thinking to try to figure out the thinking of Eastern people." Roosevelt shook his head and said.
"Okay, I admit I'll never understand those Orientals." Jim shrugged.
Roosevelt thought for a while and asked: "Have you estimated the target of the Japanese attack?"
"It has been determined. Judging from the Japanese communication telegrams we intercepted earlier, their attack target and the target provided by the Chinese are all pointing to the same place, which is Pearl Harbor, the headquarters of our Pacific Fleet."
"Pearl Harbor" Roosevelt began to think deeply, and the room fell into silence again
Nanjing Presidential Palace: "Jianming, why do you want to reveal to the Americans about the possible Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor? Wouldn't it be great to use the Japanese to consume the strength of the Americans?" In the office, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Jiang Baili and others were present in awe.
.
Su Tong was sitting on a soft leather sofa. A coffee table full of antiques was placed in a corner of the office. On the four broken sofas there sat four senior ladies in today's Chinese political arena.
Su Tong reached out and poured a cup of tea for Bai Chongxi, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiansheng, let me ask you a question first. How do you think Roosevelt will react when he knows the news?"
Bai Chongxi said without thinking: "Needless to say, of course he will pull out his Pacific Fleet to fight the Japanese."
"Oh, really?" Su Tong looked at several people with a smile on his face.
Jiang Baili and Li Zongren looked at each other and then began to ponder. After a long time, Li Zongren slowly said: "Could it be that Roosevelt would use a bitter trick?"
Su Tong smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a bitter trick."
"It's unlikely that this is a bitter plan," Bai Chongxi said in surprise: "You have to know that what's being heard in Pearl Harbor now are most of the main warships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. If they are destroyed, the losses to the Americans will be too great.
It’s gone, and there’s no way to recover without two or three years of hard work.”
"No, Brother Jiansheng, you are wrong." Su Tong shook his head and said sternly: "You underestimate the war potential of the Americans. I am certain that even if the Yankees' Pacific Fleet is completely destroyed, they will be defeated in less than a year.
A powerful Pacific Fleet can be rebuilt, and it will be much more powerful than the original fleet."
"Then why did Roosevelt implement this painful plan? Why not just deal with the Japanese directly?" Bai Chongxi didn't understand.
Su Tong smiled when he heard this: "Mr. De, it's up to you to answer this question. After all, Mr. De is an expert in this field."
Li Zongren smiled helplessly, pointed at Su Tong and said with a bitter smile: "Jianming, you are lazy but you let me bear the bad reputation."
Li Zongren cleared his throat and explained: "The current isolationist sentiment in the United States is very serious. Although Roosevelt had long wanted to intervene in World War II, due to the serious anti-war sentiment in the United States, he made this series of actions to force Japan to
I will attack Nanyang."
"Wait a minute." Bai Chongxi interrupted Li Zongren and asked in surprise: "You said that Japan wanted to go to war with the Americans because Roosevelt deliberately forced him to do so."
"Yes." Li Zongren nodded: "The U.S. government has cut off trade with Japan in recent times, which is equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of the Japanese. Coupled with our persecution, they have to take desperate risks in order to survive.
The Japanese people's wretched character must have meant war without declaring it, which gave Roosevelt a perfect excuse to declare war."
"Oh my God" Bai Chongxi took a breath, "Let's put it this way, even if we didn't inform the Americans, they already knew that the Japanese were going to go to war with them."
"Of course." Su Tong said with a sneer: "Otherwise, what kind of people do you think the Americans are? They have long wanted to extend their hands into Asia. As long as they control the countries around us, the Americans can contain our country.
Strategic development will form a large encirclement. Once their encirclement is formed, we will have to report it to the Americans no matter how far we want."
After listening to Su Tong's words, Bai Chongxi realized that those wily politicians had unknowingly set up countless traps waiting for people to get into. It can be said that they killed without blood.
Su Tong had long known from the declassified information of later generations that after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the US military salvaged the sunken warships at an alarming speed, repaired them in a very short period of time, and carried out modifications to make these warships
The combat effectiveness of warships has risen to a new level. The modification of warships is very complicated. The impact of new equipment on the warships must be taken into consideration. When so many warships need to be modified, the drawings alone will take several months, and more
Needless to say, the procurement and production of various equipment and materials. However, when these warships began to be modified, the workers found that everything was ready-made, including blueprints, weapons, and radars, as if they were waiting for this day.
Before the attack, the US military suddenly dispatched a large number of medical supplies and medical staff to Pearl Harbor, and notified the day before the attack that they would cancel the next day's leave and conduct combat readiness duty. The day of the attack was Sunday. This is documented. Before the attack,
The US military dispersed some fighter jets to remote small airports, while the aircraft remaining at the main airport were left empty in the hangar and neatly arranged on the runway, giving the illusion that all the aircraft were there. They took off after the attack began.
The combat aircraft all took off from small airports. Prior to this, the British government, the Chinese government, and even the American intelligence agency had warned Roosevelt, but Roosevelt, who had always been shrewd, seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Very indifferent.
After considering so many factors, Su Tong would be damned if he still believed that Roosevelt didn't know about it. This was just a trick performed by Roosevelt to defraud the people's support. It was ridiculous that he spent all his energy jumping up and down in the performance, but he didn't know that he was
All his actions are in the eyes of others, and he is being led by the nose step by step without knowing it. It is no wonder that when the Japanese successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, everyone was immersed in joy. But Yamamoto Isoroku
The subordinates who came to congratulate him simply said: "We just awakened a sleeping giant."
It's just that in another time and space, the Americans successfully controlled Japan after the war and successfully penetrated Asia. Will it still be like this in this time and space? Su Tong was also thinking silently in his heart.
