1209 Live for This War

"On August 9, Moscow, the capital of the former Soviet Union, was officially occupied by Wehrmacht troops. Marshal Rundstedt personally awarded the Iron Cross to the SS soldiers and Wehrmacht soldiers who occupied the Kremlin! Another glorious victory for the Army! Long live Führer Acador Rudolf!"

"The Third Reich and the Siberian Federation formally issued a joint statement, announcing the official end of the Soviet-German war based on the "Germany-Siberia Peace Treaty"... According to the report of our station reporter, the delineation of the border between the two sides has already started at 10 this morning. It was officially completed at 30:00, and the long-term cooperative relationship established between the two countries will go further..." The radio broadcast the news about the capture of Moscow in German, and pressed a hand on the switch to turn off the chattering noise.

The man who turned off the radio walked to the side of the white bed, looked down at the old man lying on it, and said softly to the president who led the United States out of the financial crisis and won the Pacific War: "Mr. Not a German propaganda offensive, Moscow has really fallen."

"Of course...the Germans...there is no...necessary to lie." Roosevelt said with difficulty. Every heartbeat he has now is extremely precious, because if he really dies, can the United States continue to persist in this world war? , it’s really hard to say. Those politicians who followed Roosevelt, as well as those officers and soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front lines, faced the risk of being swallowed by political enemies.

"Congress rejected your proposal to mobilize another 2 million soldiers, and they only approved the upper limit of 500,000...After all, the Germans have no obvious intention of landing in the United States, and their navy and transport fleet do not allow them to do so Crazy decision." The man put his hand on President Roosevelt's bed with some regret, and whispered to him.

This man is none other than Bauermann, a pivotal supporter in Roosevelt's camp, who was cornered by Enrique's establishment of a country in the Middle East. This Jewish man who grew up in the United States has an incomparably rich wealth, but recently this wealth has been shrinking rapidly due to various reasons.

His investment in the Far East officialdom was in vain because of Cuikov’s self-establishment. His investment in American shipping was sunk by Doenitz. The U.S. government defaulted on part of the payment. Don't think that the United States is really rich and powerful. After all, this was 1939 when the United States failed to win World War II. The US government really didn't have as much wealth as imagined.

Because they want to transport all kinds of supplies to India and other regions, they provide countless interest-free loans and free aid to India; because they want to help the poor Britain that has fallen in the country, they have also provided countless reserves; because they want to compete with Germany for China's Influence, and a large amount of supplies have to be sent to China... The United States, a rich and wealthy man, can't afford to fill so many holes now.

Now the United States, like Germany, is relying on national debt to survive the wartime economic crisis. But now there is an essential difference between the two countries: the Germans have finished fighting the money war,

Now it has entered the stage of picking peaches; and the Americans have not yet completely won the war, so they are still spending money into the water.

"In southern Africa, the countries we operate in are somewhat vacillating. They are under pressure from General Fukuman in northern Africa..." On the other side of the hospital bed, General Marshall held a thick stack of documents, slowly The opening statement stated: "India's defense is not optimistic. The German army is attacking our army in Iran. The locals regard the other party as their liberator..."

There is one sentence that Marshall did not say. His intelligence department learned that if Rommel, the commander-in-chief of North Africa, had not returned to China for medical treatment due to stomach problems, the new official Manstein was unwilling to do too much offensive deployment. Maybe the Germans All of Iran has been taken down.

"Intelligence shows that Yamamoto Fifty-Six commanded Japan's combined fleet to return to the Philippine waters...the opponent has built a complete defense system by virtue of the island chain...a strong attack at this time may increase our losses." The navy said The person in charge continued, "However, we didn't only have bad news this week. The German submarine force has restrained a lot on the east coast of our country and the Gulf of Mexico..."

Not paying attention to the glint in Roosevelt's eyes on the bed, the admiral turned a page of the report, lowered his eyes and continued: "Since the HL-44 transport convoy was attacked by the German navy, we have not received the German navy for 4 consecutive days. Submarine attacks have been reported. This month we have sunk 48 transport ships and 17 German submarines... The strengthening of anti-submarine forces has stabilized the situation, and it seems that the Germans are beginning to fear losses."

"You said?" Roosevelt said suddenly, shutting the mouth of the army general behind him who wanted to report the completion of the recent enlistment. The American president spoke with difficulty, and continued slowly: "Germany...submarines...reduced?"

"Yes! Mr. President! The report of the last 4 days shows that the German submarine force in the Gulf of Mexico is decreasing. We are still investigating the specific reason. After all, we know too many reasons, and it is not easy to distinguish .” The officer of the U.S. Navy replied quickly when he heard Roosevelt’s question.

The reason he said there are many theories within the U.S. Navy. Some people think that Germany is replacing the new "ghost submarine", which is a very concealed U-boat; The number of submarines cruising in a certain sea area has declined for a certain period of time; the remaining few people attribute the main reason for the reduction in the number of German submarines to the strengthening of the Allied anti-submarine forces.

No matter what the reason is, in short, the number of German submarines cruising near the coast of the United States is declining. This is most true for the U.S. Navy, which suffers from the devastation of German submarines every day. Every good news in the war is absolutely inspiring, so when everyone heard the news, they all cheered.

"Strengthen...Iceland..." Roosevelt held Borman's palm, and said with difficulty to the navy and army generals around him: "Deploy...bomb...Norway! As much as possible...on a large scale...huh." He It took a lot of effort to say every word now, which made Bowerman, who was holding his hand, even more frightened.

"Bombing Norway again? Isn't this creating a problem for yourself?" The general of the army frowned slightly after hearing Roosevelt's words. He didn't know what Roosevelt was thinking, but unilaterally felt that he had to throw out his strength now. Difficulty with Germany is completely a waste of behavior.

Even though Roosevelt was lying on his hospital bed, he certainly knew that bombing Norway was not the best choice now, but sometimes, it didn't seem like the best choice, but it happened to be the real best choice. Roosevelt is bombing Norway now, not to defeat Germany, but to prevent another possibility.

People who play Go may often encounter this kind of situation. Some idle moves that seem to be the opponent's "irrational move" turn into a fatal "first move" in the end. The current combat order issued by Roosevelt is in fact a first move he is sure of.

In fact, what is most deadly to the top leaders of the United States now is not the invincible German army of one million, but a treaty for peace from Germany that has traveled across the ocean! If Akado knew that Roosevelt was dying soon, and he only needed to arrange for a few diplomats to come to the United States with a decent peace treaty, then the United States would completely lose the courage to continue fighting.

Roosevelt's move was not so much a slap in the face of the Germans, but a show of preparing to slap the Germans in the face. Exchange a loss for an aura of fighting to the end, thereby dispelling Germany's idea of ​​actively seeking peace-at least dispelling the German's idea of ​​actively seeking peace in the near future. Facts have proved that Roosevelt did anticipate the enemy's opportunity, because when he gave the order, Ribbentrop was already preparing a negotiation treaty with the United States.

"Quick...speed...is the key!" Roosevelt closed his eyes, and continued to order in an extremely soft voice: "Let...the British...send, send the fleet...to escort...our, our ...the transport ship...to make sure, to make sure the fleet...must be...safe...to reach...Iceland."

"Mr. President, if we carry out the bombing mission, our bomber unit may suffer huge losses. If more than 300 bombers take off, it is estimated that two-thirds will not be able to return." The army general said with an ugly face.

"This is war! General! I think everyone here has heard Mr. President's order clearly! Follow it!" Marshall, a military leader who is comparable to a politician, naturally understood Roosevelt's good intentions, and he pondered for a while , and found that this is a very cost-effective deal. 200 bombers for about two months - not bad sounds.

Although he was reluctant, Marshall opened his mouth like this, and the generals of the army stopped insisting on anything. After standing at attention, they left Roosevelt's room. After exchanging greetings with Marshall and the admirals, they also got up and left. In the end, only Bowerman and Roosevelt were left in the room.

"Live! Keep alive! If you fall, all of us will lose everything." Bowerman grabbed Roosevelt's palm and said bitterly: "For all those who support you, for this War, live!"
