Imperial Overlord
: Six hundred and eighth heritage
After U.S. President Roosevelt heard more about Hawaii, he wanted to kill Admiral Kimmel, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy as a front-line commander.
Marshall accompanied Roosevelt back to his presidential office with a dignified face, dismissed the others, and closed the door before hearing Roosevelt's roar: "Bastard!"
Anyone who knew Roosevelt knew that he was a wise and calm man, and there were not many things that could make such a president lose his temper.
However, not in the mood to analyze Roosevelt's current state, Marshall looked at Roosevelt and said softly, "We are not ready."
He said we weren't ready, stopped in Roosevelt's ears, and he said a lot.
In present words, this is a sentence with a very large amount of information. So Roosevelt sighed, not knowing which way to speak to Marshall.
What Marshall said we weren't ready was actually referring to a covert battle plan.
Roosevelt and all the American officers of the main war faction were actually looking forward to a sinister and cunning Japanese attack in their hearts.
A sneak attack is not important anywhere, as long as the fleet is spread out and prepared to fight against a sneak attack, losses can be well avoided.
Whether it is the loss of two or three battleships, or the loss of one or two aircraft carriers, the United States has a way to make up for its losses in a short period of time.
And what Roosevelt and the others wanted was an excuse for America to go to war against Japan.
It is actually wrong and correct to say that when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the Americans were prepared and planned to deliver food to the Japanese.
Strictly speaking, the United States is passively waiting for the Japanese to attack. From a strategic point of view, the Americans are actually ideologically prepared to be attacked by the Japanese.
From this point of view, the Americans knew about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and they condoned it!
However, if Roosevelt or the top American leaders were willing to sacrifice the lives of more than 3,000 American soldiers to join the war and let their fleet be slaughtered in Pearl Harbor, this is impossible.
Not to mention that Roosevelt was the president of the United States, even if he was the emperor of the United States, he would not have come up with such a foolish solution.
If any unrelated person were to reveal the news, he himself would be drowned in the saliva of the American people.
And if you want the entire fleet to be passively beaten in the port, the people who need to be arranged are not one or two levels that can be kept secret.
If the U.S. executives can really do it, and "wisely" withdraw all the aircraft carriers before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, then they will arrange for the army's aircraft to be ready for combat, which is absolutely no problem.
At that time, as long as the Japanese sneak attack starts, American fighter jets can take off and intercept, and the loss may be much smaller than in history.
Therefore, what Marshall said was not ready. In fact, what he said was that, under the covert dispatch, the United States was not ready to fight against the Japanese sneak attack on a certain location.
Another meaning he said of not being ready is to tell Roosevelt: The United States is not ready for war, and they still need at least half a year to be ready for war against Japan!
It's not just America's military that is not ready, America's strategic priorities are, in fact, not ready either.
The expansion of the Germans in Europe involved the energy of the United States. Britain was landed by Germany, and its rapid defeat also made the United States lose a western barrier and allies.
The chaos in the Atlantic looks calm now, and it can even be described as tranquil and peaceful, but once it becomes turbulent, the United States must have a certain garrison force participating in its changes.
The German fleet now has three aircraft carriers, one under repair, and two small carriers for training in the Mediterranean.
Compared to the battleships, the Germans also seem to be strong: the German navy has five battleships, much more powerful than the US Atlantic fleet.
Faced with such an emerging naval power, the United States had to invest more troops in the Atlantic to make up for the vacancy left by Britain's defeat.
At this time, the Japanese killed the entire Pacific Fleet of the United States. What does the United States use to continue to ensure the safety of its oceans on both sides?
"Whether we're ready or not, tomorrow I'm going to give a speech to Congress and declare war on Japan." Roosevelt stared at Marshall and said slowly.
Word by word, his tone was very firm: "Whether we are ready or not, if we are attacked by the enemy, there is no reason not to fight back!"
"We must go to war with the Japanese and do everything in our power to win this war!" He paused at this point, and then emphasized: "Whatever it takes!"
Hearing Roosevelt's emphasis, Marshall nodded: "Then, Your Excellency, we must give up the defense on one side and solve the trouble as soon as possible."
Roosevelt sighed, this was also his helpless choice. But this choice, in fact, is very risky for the United States.
Whether the United States chooses to solve its troubles in Europe first or its troubles in the Pacific first, the war cannot be won any time soon.
The United States, which has lost the Pacific Fleet, cannot annihilate Japan's combined fleet within a year, much less fight back to Japan.
On the European side, it is also impossible for the United States to achieve victory in annihilating the German fleet and then land in Germany to defeat the most powerful army in the world within a year.
Therefore, no matter how it chooses, the United States does not have the ability to solve the enemy on one side in a short time. The abandoned direction will become the soft underbelly of the United States for a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course, for the United States at this moment, they have no choice.
They are bound to go to war with Japan, so maintaining a relatively peaceful state with Germany, which has not declared war, is the best situation for the United States so far.
"Okay! Mr. President...if you ask my advice." Marshall tilted his head and held his chin while thinking, while giving his own advice: "The best way to deploy the Atlantic Fleet and fight back against Japan is currently. chosen."
"Yeah!" Roosevelt nodded and said, "This is the best choice we see now."
He paused, then continued to say to Marshall: "However, we are in the war, at least we have a chance to face each other, who is stronger than these **** opponents... Let them take a look at our heritage! "
Marshall smiled wryly and sighed in his heart: Yes, what we can show to the enemy now is only the so-called heritage...——
Tomorrow, the dragon spirit will break out, please wait patiently. Thank you for your support! Thank you!
