Chapter 596: The Japanese finally acted

"What? Someone called, it's a joke! I know that today is April 1st, April Fool's Day. Dude, this clumsy illusion of yours is too foolish to me! Ella-Jean was immediately disappointed, and sat down on the rattan chair with ease. He has been teased by his colleagues in front of several ladies he likes in the morning, and he is already very sensitive to this.

But before his subordinates brought the coffee, the hotline on the table rang out inexhaustibly.

"The people are coming......" The hurried voice in her ears was the same as before, and Ella's heart tightened, but then she relaxed, sat down on the table unprofessionally, and laughed: "I know, their battleship has already shelled Vung Tau and is almost in Saigon." I also know that the people have captured Da Nang. I also know ......"

"I'm Major Lott of Fortress No. 3, you idiot, it's not a joke, it's war. The human artillery shells have destroyed our fortresses, we need support, support ......"

The voice suddenly cut off, causing Ella-Jean to panic in his heart, and he looked up at the window. The early morning in Saigon is charming, and you can hear the laughter of the girls who stayed overnight in the distance.

Although there were often jokes from soldiers and colleagues in this Hotline, this time Ella-Jean felt the weight of the message from the guy who called himself Major Lot.

The wind chimes rang again, and he grabbed it quickly, but this time it was no longer the same Lot's voice, but the rapid breathing and the same news inside kept him silent.

"Anyway, tell the general first, and then you will be scolded at most." Ella, who detained Hotline, made the lieutenant realize the seriousness of the matter, and decided to wake up the general, who had just finished communicating with a certain celebrity last night.

"You idiot! Don't you know that today is the festival of the Indians, and you believe such news? The major general cursed, moving his fat belly to cover the pair of white ui that came out behind him.

Ella-Jean couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he knew that the general had been spreading the seeds of benevolence for the past few days, maybe it was the joke of the Indian beauty sent by the British yesterday, which made him remember March 31, but under the anesthesia of alcohol, he ignored that today was the beginning of a new month.

"General, this may not be a joke, people may really call!" Instead of correcting the Major General's smear, Ella-Jean made the anxious look on her face thicker. Head. hair

"People? Could it be that after our motherland was crushed by German chariots, this remnant paradise would also be tossed by those oriental dwarfs? My Hanoi treasures have been snatched away by those damn monkeys! God, what's wrong with France? ...... "Apparently the alcohol was still evaporating under the messy hair of the major general.

"General, the battleship is coming!" Outside, the rapid chimes were still ringing, and Ella-Jean couldn't help but raise her voice to interrupt the Major General's endless nagging while squinting her eyes and looking endless.

"Battleship?" For the first time, the face of the Major General, which had been somewhat depressed and old since the fall of France, showed a solemn face.

"Yes, people are coming to Saigon!" Ella-Jean replied in a whisper.

……

"People are finally taking action!" The information handed over by Rat Er at the first time made Meng Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Those who had endured for so long had already prepared, and after the Guards Division that had been stationed in Hanoi captured Da Nang, they continued to advance southward, and when Meng Xiang received the news, they had already marched to the vicinity of Ngoc Ling Mountain. After resting, the 31st and 33rd Divisions entered Laos directly through the Bathélemi Pass and the Kono Pass.

At first, the French took advantage of the terrain of Laos to cover the attack of the people, but this time, they were completely accurate and the other people broke through the lax defense of the French at once.

Although Seishiro Itagaki had already gone to see Aunt Amaterasu, he was encouraged to pass and focus on supporting the new 5th Division. The rejuvenated 5th Division stood out during the attack on Hanoi and was considered to be an infantry team that excelled at landing. This time, they relied on their powerful naval forces to attack Saigon directly.

By the time Meng Xiangtan heard the news, part of their army had already landed in Thu Thuan and other places to outflank Saigon.

This time, the two Nagato-class battleships and the aircraft carrier Xianghe, which had been produced in a hurry, crushed the spirit of the last resistance of the French around Saigon, and had already begun to rout.

"The French are really not angry, but that's fine. This time, I'm afraid the big picture has already been decided! Meng Xiang said with relief.

"What a relief!" Fan Chong, who came from the side, couldn't help but smile after reading the detailed information.

People's actions also let go of his heart that he has always been a little hanging. Although Fan Chong also knew the strength of the vanguard army at this time, he was also confident in coping with the double pressure of Soviet Russia and peace. But in the end, the remnants of these two old empires still existed, which made him feel a little unreal nervous. Especially now that Soviet Russia is constantly increasing its troops, the actions of those who have been silent are particularly attention-grabbing.

At this time, he went south according to his original expectations, and saw that everything was running according to their calculations, which really relieved him.

"Don't think that if people go south, we will be easy." Meng Xiang reminded him, "People's attention is shifted to the south, which also breaks the balance of the three kingdoms in the north. I am afraid that there will be a large-scale troop increase in Soviet Russia in the next step, and the real test is coming. ”

Fan Chong and Meng Xiang looked at each other and smiled: "This is not what I want!" ”

After a short pause, Meng Xiangcai said with a little solemnity: "I'm afraid that this time, people's actions are also in line with many people's hearts!" ”

……

"People are finally taking action!" Hoover flicked the intel in his hand with his little finger, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the United States, Edgar Hoover is probably the most well-informed. If Meng Xiang hadn't prepared it a long time ago, I'm afraid he would have known this news earlier than Meng Xiang.

"It's almost time to put it off. One is kept, and one is handed over to our president, who has been waiting! Otherwise, if Donovan gets the first shot, I'm afraid our president will lose his temper again. Hoover understated.

The presidential power of the United States always depends on the faces of many people. But if you survive the first term and are elected in the second round, the power of the president of the United States will begin to soar, and some actions will be much freer. Some major initiatives such as wars always start to raise their knives in the second round. And Roosevelt has reached this summit for the third time. His power also reached a higher level.

When he was successfully elected, he began to sort out the intelligence system that was monopolized by Hoover. Hoover obviously displeased many people, but he took control of America's most secret hidden si, but he silenced most of them. At this point, Roosevelt made a move, pointing directly at Hoover's lifeline.

Although he issued a secret order in '39 that the Federal Bureau of Inquiries and Visits and the Intelligence Department of the Army and Navy were responsible for intelligence and counterintelligence and sabotage against the enemy, in early '41, with the rise of the Germans, in March, he quickly established an Intelligence Coordination Bureau. Started to divide the soup from Hoover in advance.

Hoover naturally understood the meaning of this move, but he was confident that the entire United States was in his hands, and he was a little disdainful of Donovan, the director who had just received $450,000 and started working in several dilapidated offices near the White House.

Immediately someone flashed out of the shadows beside him to carry out this small task. But the Donovan he disdained was already in Roosevelt's office.

His old friend Stephenson confided this information to him, and he immediately sent the news he had learned from the British to Roosevelt's ears.

"Well, it's time for us to cry out for justice. We love peace, but for the sake of peace, we need to take up arms to defend the peace and tranquility of this peace! Roosevelt's heart was also excited, everything was running according to the plan, and people began to lose their breath.

Roosevelt knew the situation at home. Although he ascended to the presidency for the third time, he was still some way from the pinnacle of power. If you want to use your hands and feet in this position, there are too many shackles of gold bracelets. After repeated compromises and conspiracies have failed, violent means of force are sometimes the most effective means.

But in order to pick up the sword, it is necessary to have a very threatening enemy. Just as some later presidents also like to use war to expand their rights and use war to bake a war cake, Roosevelt is also looking forward to the sound of the war rallying cry, and wartime control can put on a gorgeous cloak for the maximum concentration of power like **.

"Inform Congress that we need to discuss a draft of a total embargo!" Roosevelt groaned for a moment, and finally decided to push someone more.

……

"People are finally taking action!" Stalin's soothing snort ruffled a few strands of beard on his lips.

He put down the information and said in a deep voice: "This time, the French, under the pressure of the Germans' deliberate attempt to cause trouble to the south, can only swallow this bitter fruit. The protests of the British are now much weaker. The dog-eat-dog farce between imperialism proves that the capitalist world is not monolithic after all. ”

He glanced at Beria, who was standing silent with his hands down, and continued: "Pay close attention to the actions of the Kwantung Army. And the Huaxia people, it's time to teach them a lesson! ”ro@
