"What, the Japanese attacked ahead of schedule?" Roosevelt's face turned pale for a while

The news had already been received before the Japanese bombs had even begun to be dropped, but Hoover, who had sent the news, apparently did not regard this as glory and lowered his head

The eyes of everyone in the room who were about to arrive immediately swept to the calendar on the table, and the bold date of September 11 on the top was particularly conspicuous in the very reliable information obtained by the American intelligence services, and it should be two days before the Japanese would stage a sudden advance action according to the script of the Americans, making all the preparations of the Americans a laughing stock

"I'm afraid that the losses on the Hawaiian side will be not small, they are unprepared," Marshall said worriedly, to be exact, it should be that many preparations are not needed, and many of the preparations at Pearl Harbor are handled by him, and even in order not to appear to be abrupt in some actions on the next 13th, in order to allow the Japanese to arrive smoothly, the defenses around Hawaii have already begun to loosen

Although it has not yet been officially extended on Sunday, the officers and soldiers who have nothing to do on weekdays have already become a little lazy under the deliberately relaxed military discipline

Thinking of his measures such as directing people to pile up fighter planes directly on the unsuspecting outer field, Marshall regretted it a little, which would undoubtedly cause great losses

Everyone silently did not wait for news from the front, and everyone could already imagine that under the sudden attack, the situation in Hawaii must be worse than they planned

"This is the end of the matter, and we should now accomplish what we need to do," Roosevelt said decisively in the silence

Although this time, the Americans' tactical arrangement was a complete failure, the overall strategic intention has been achieved, and all that remains is to reduce losses and maximize advantages

……

"In my 50 years of public service, I have never seen such a brazen, hypocritical and quibble document" US Secretary of State Hull, although he adhered to Roosevelt's previous instructions to him, was indifferent to it, and did not attack on the spot and tear his face, but he was still surprised by the surprise attack of the Japanese who changed the date, and could not suppress his anger, and rebuked the Japanese envoy Kurisu, who handed him the memorandum, and the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Michichi Nomura

The urgent telegram from the front caused Washington's reaction to panic for a while, but some small countermeasures were arranged in time, so that the Japanese, who had intended to delay the submission of the memorandum in order to gain more time, were one step late, and the current situation of submitting the memorandum an hour after the start of the war was formed

Pearl Harbor, which happened at one p.m. local time in Washington, became a complete sneak attack

At 3 p.m., an hour after the Americans received the Japanese memo, the media of the Americans, who had the quickest response, had already spread the news to every corner of the world, and the intelligence officers of the major powers were well informed, and even as soon as the war broke out there, the relevant urgent telegrams had already reached the tables of many bigwigs

For the world, such a thing is too amazing

……

"God willing, we've finally waited" As soon as he received the news from MI6, which was in charge of overseas intelligence, Churchill, who swept ten lines at a glance, couldn't help but speak out although his face was tense

The impetus behind the entry of the Americans into the war was inseparable from the catalysis of the British

The relationship between the United States and Britain is very deep, some of them are like cousins, but this relationship is obviously in front of Chiguoguo's interests, and some are thin in the face of the huge colonial interests of the British

"I think we need to confirm one thing later, or we won't be able to sleep well tonight," Churchill said, ordering someone to contact Washington

Since the Americans have lit the beacon fire, Churchill's heart has already let go of half of it, and whether to go to war or not is the biggest problem for the Americans, as long as the war is ignited, they will definitely not be able to avoid the beacon fire of Europe

However, Churchill still hoped that Roosevelt would personally assure him that he would take more care of Europe, after all, the British Isles are no longer the center of Europe, the prosperity and lack of resources have made the British lose the civilization of gentlemen, robberies and crimes have occurred from time to time, and there have been reports of starvation to death recently

Even if the military is in charge of supplies, but the continuous blockade of the German army has almost cut off the sea lifeline of the British, and the reserves are exhausted, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, the civilian materials have to shrink again and again, even if a relief office is set up, but there are still poor and weak people who suffer from the loss of the society of that era, it is not a welfare state in later generations, how can it be all fair? Needless to say, when personal life is at stake

Food and the like have become the most scarce items, and there have been many incidents of food looting

In stark contrast, the value of all kinds of antiques in exchange for food on the black market has fallen beyond recognition, but there are still many civilians who loot their homes and come to the black market to exchange for a bite of bread, which makes the Chinese who come to exchange for all kinds of items make a fortune

Since the British Isles were besieged by the German navy, it was difficult for foreign ships to replenish them, and only Chinese merchant ships could reach them by virtue of the Germans

Of course, the Germans did not open their eyes to the Chinese to collaborate with the enemy, but every merchant ship in China was inspected by the Germans before carrying grain, sugar, coffee, tea, and under the guise of civilian assistance, and there were also high profits behind it, which were transferred to the Germans through weapons and copycat companies

It was in this way that the Germans gave up a few more submarines, and they turned a blind eye to the Chinese ocean-going cow submarines to transport some slightly illegal items to and fro, so as to open up relations with the British government

The Chinese people did not transfer sensitive items such as gold and silver, but some oriental cultural relics, totems or other items, many of which did not enter the eyes of the British and Germans, so that everything was running smoothly, forming an alternative wealth channel flowing from the west to the east

But none of this can stop the instability caused by the scarcity of goods in the British Isles

Churchill, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, felt that even with his steely nerves, he could not endure the torment day and night, and the news that the flames of war had been ignited by the Americans was undoubtedly great news

"It's a good day, and we might be able to get a good night's sleep tonight," Churchill said as he lit a cigar and breathed lightly

……

"It's a good day," Stalin sighed, looking out the window at the sun

And Beria, who was behind him, still lowered his head and didn't dare to speak

Stalin's temper has been very bad lately, and none of the many news piled up on his desk is good news, and he has been unlucky to accept no one

Although the news that the Americans had just received about the ignition of war was good news, Beria still did not dare to test Stalin's temper lightly

However, he felt that Stalin was still in a very good mood now, after all, because the autumn rain had slowed down the merits of the German tanks, Stalin would never appreciate such good weather on weekdays

"Americans, careless" After half a sound, Stalin turned around, raised his two thick eyebrows and said again, "However, this is also very good, and the imperialist dog-eat-dog show will be more lively"

Beria did not warn Stalin, who seemed to be in good spirits, that Soviet Russia was also in the ranks of the bites, and that they were now covered in bites

"It's a pity that although Japan is moving south and the Kwantung Army is shrinking, the troops in the Far East have never dared to act rashly, and it is difficult to support the Western Front because of those damned Chinese" Stalin's mood instantly turned bad, "as difficult as the arrogant Japanese"

……

"The Japanese are really, bravely" Lao Xi read the information sent by Heydrich, and pondered for a while before phrasing

Everything is also going in the direction that the Germans wanted

The Germans have always been vigilant that the United States is not complete without the Americans, and even if the European hegemony war, the impact has covered most of the world and the Americans are afraid of the Americans, so that when the Germans pick the fruits of victory, they are always a little uneasy, worried that the Americans, who are good at taking advantage of the fishermen, will suddenly jump out

In particular, the recent signs of the Americans entering the war have become more and more serious, and at this time, the Japanese have stepped in, so that the Americans need to make a key inclined choice between the Pacific and the Atlantic, and Germany only needs this extra time difference

"The Japanese are very trustworthy and provoked the war in time, do we need to send our support as soon as possible?" Hess next to him asked

Because of the vanguard army's war against the Soviet Union, Hess went to England to negotiate privately, and the fate has changed, and he still stays by Lao Xi's side, in a position similar to that of Miteng, although he can't stand in the second position, but he is still a core member of the huge Third Reich, and the Japanese dare to act, and some of the benefits promised by the Germans are also somewhat related

"No, wait a minute," Lao Xi hesitated for a moment

He needed to consider the reaction of the United States, and if he got together with the Japanese at this time, he would undoubtedly ignite the fire in advance, and even if the Americans went to war with Germany, they would need to find an excuse to counteract the hatred of the Japanese

……

The White House meeting lasted overnight on the 11th, and outsiders did not know what it was about, so they could only wait anxiously

It was not until noon the next day, with a little flushed on his face, that Roosevelt came to Congress and addressed all the Americans who were shocked by the news: "September 11, 41 will be a national shame Japan, the United States of America has been attacked by the Japanese navy, and I ask Congress to declare that the United States and Japan are at war because of the surprise attack by Japan."

The United States declared war, the world is in an uproar again, and the stage of the world war is broadened, and if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation
