Chapter 762: Perfect Explanation (Added 5)
"When I got the news that the Germans had bombed our New York, I was as horrified as everyone else, and I didn't believe that the Germans would do such a thing to us." In the Parliament, looking at one of the famous members, Roosevelt began to speak.
It's okay to fool ordinary people, but the congressmen in front of him are all from various states, representing major families and various forces, and it is impossible for Roosevelt to fool these people and finish the matter.
Roosevelt had to show his real skills and convince everyone that he was ready.
Even if the truth is revealed in the end, it is a conspiracy of the British, a conspiracy by Britain to drag the United States into the war, and Roosevelt is also a victim.
For the sake of the interests of the United States, Roosevelt could only do this.
"Now, for the incident that everyone is most concerned about, Donovan will explain it to you." Roosevelt gave up the microphone to the intelligence chief behind him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this incident is linked to the sinking of our cargo ship Oregonstar yesterday." "The sinking of our cargo ship was announced to the public because of bad weather, but in reality, it was very calm and it was not a natural accident at all," Donovan said. ”
"Could it be a submarine of the Germans?" A lawmaker said.
This is very easy to relate, after all, the German submarines have always been active in the Atlantic, and it is often possible to hear the news that the British cargo ship was sunk, and now, the American cargo ship is either sunk naturally, then perhaps, it was sunk by the Germans!
"It's a pity that although we have carefully searched that area, we still didn't find the wreck, but fortunately, there are survivors on the wreck who were taken to New York by a passing cargo ship." Donovan continued.
"That man, where is he now?" A grim-faced MP asked.
Roosevelt glanced at Dren Rockefeller, from the Rockefeller family.
Not all of them are angry, and these congressmen, of course, are more calm, after all, many American companies are making money through Germany, and if there is a war with Germany, then they will not be profitable.
For example, the oil fields in Libya have their shares, in this case, of course, they do not want to have contradictions with Germany, once this accident causes the United States to declare war on Germany, they will definitely not be able to touch the profits of those oil fields.
"It's a pity that we went a step late." Donovan said: "Just before our agents arrived at the crew's side, the bombing of New York began, and the only survivor was killed. ”
"He was drinking in the bar, and there were more than fifty sailors in the bar, and they all confirmed it. The survivor himself said that it was the German submarine that blew up the cargo ship. Donovan continued: "The German bombers were trying to bomb the bar, but unfortunately they were not accurate enough to bomb the others, but they killed our party. ”
"You won't say that the Germans want to kill people, right?" Another congressman from the western state of Washington said: "The Germans have traveled thousands of miles to use bombers to blow up a person? Don't take us for fools! Isn't it better for the Germans to use agents? Besides, what does that cargo ship have to do with the Germans? Could it be that there is an ulterior secret on the cargo ship? ”
The people present are not stupid, and in this case, of course, they will not be satisfied!
Donovan, who was only in charge of explaining these things, was now in charge of his mission.
Regaining the microphone, Roosevelt said, "I'm sorry, but I've been hiding something about something. ”
Roosevelt's honesty was unimaginable.
"In the past, Congress had already made a resolution that there could no longer be any support for Britain, but when Britain was about to fall, we had to stretch out our hand, and that ship was loaded with our American arms that we intended to support Britain." Roosevelt said.
Hearing Roosevelt's words, in an instant, the scene exploded.
After the decision had already been made in Congress, Roosevelt actually dared to bypass Congress and supply arms to the British!
At that moment, some congressmen shouted that Roosevelt should get out, and at the same time, some people fell into thought.
No wonder the Germans wanted to blow up a cargo ship, which was full of American munitions, and the Germans, of course, did not want the British to get it!
It makes sense that the Germans used submarines and sank cargo ships, but why did the Germans use bombers? Without the right reason, it doesn't make sense!
"Kill the only survivor and make this shipwreck a secret, why did the Germans use bombers?" A lawmaker shouted.
Roosevelt was overjoyed, this question, great! Finally, imperceptibly, the parliamentarians have agreed that the Germans did it! Roosevelt even risked being ousted from office by telling the story about the munitions ship.
This will not be a secret, just as the debate in the parliament began, the rest of the people in the bar had already made a big deal about it, and the reporters of the newspapers were ready for tomorrow's headlines.
"Please, look at this map." Roosevelt took out the map he had just been in the White House and showed it to everyone, and everyone who saw it was angry.
"Please don't doubt the authenticity of this map, our agents risked their lives to get it." Roosevelt said: "In this world, there is a crazy country, and that is Germany, whose goal is not just to dominate Europe, but the whole world!" ”
"I was also quite surprised when I heard that the German bombers were coming to bomb me." Roosevelt continued: "However, one news after another, I had to believe that when we were closely monitoring the sky overhead, we found that some German bombers were actually on the way, and they were pretending to be civilian airliners, and often entered our airspace for reconnaissance. ”
The Germans' bombers, posing as civilian airliners, this is not Roosevelt's nonsense, the Germans did this when they attacked Scapa Gulf, and only the Germans have the ability to do so, because their Junkers-290 bomber is exactly the same as the Atlantic One.
The Germans, who have always been scouting over the United States, are still loitering off the coastline near the United States!
"When the survivor was discovered, the Germans panicked, they didn't have time to find agents to assassinate him, and for other purposes, they decided to use bombers to kill the survivor."
For other purposes? Immediately, someone asked: "What other purpose is the Germans?" ”
"Deterrence." Roosevelt said: "The Germans, in half an hour, completely razed a British city, then, the Germans also have the ability, half an hour, to raze our New York, because we secretly sold arms to the British, which led to the dissatisfaction of the Germans with us, and this bombing is more like a deterrent to us!" ”10
