Chapter 1029: Fengyun Hui Imperial Capital (I)

The sudden German attack had a great impact on the whole situation, although everyone knew that the Germans would always wage war against the Soviet Union. But when the day really came, some people breathed a sigh of relief, and some people were worried.

He was relieved because it would be impossible for the USSR to ally with Germany. At least the United States has one more ally. And the reason for the fear is that if the Soviet Union fails, then Germany, which has obtained a lot of resources from the Soviet Union, will be overwhelmed.

At that time, the Bering Strait will be in danger. The British are now in a state of survival, and if the Germans were to defeat the Soviet Union, the British would not be able to hold on.

"Immediately transfer troops to support the Soviet Union!" It was the first order given by Roosevelt at the emergency meeting, and the second order was to "build a position in the Bering Strait, and if the Soviets cannot hold it, we cannot count on the British." ”

Having just received the news that Germany had gone to war against the Soviet Union, the entire American cabinet was thrown into chaos. Roosevelt and a large group of disheveled generals and aides were discussing how to deal with the current situation.

But within a few hours, news from the Soviets sent their hearts down that Germany had breached four Soviet defensive positions and even captured more than 200,000 Soviet troops.

This reminded Roosevelt of the War Department's pre-war tactical rehearsal of the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, which showed that the Soviet Union could hold out for about three months to six months.

It depends on the level of U.S. support, and if U.S. support is in place, they can even last up to a year. Therefore, after learning that the Soviet Union had captured more than 200,000 troops, Roosevelt did not hesitate to order the US troops to immediately go to the Soviet battlefield.

Roosevelt had thought about what would happen after the war, but he never imagined that the German attack would be so violent. On the first day of the war, the Soviet Union had already lost more than 200,000 men.

In this way, it is unknown how long the more than 3 million Soviet troops can hold out.

The outbreak of the Soviet-German war also meant that Germany sent most of its fleet to support the Soviet battlefield. The Atlantic Ocean is calm for the time being.

So Roosevelt did not hesitate to order the Atlantic Fleet to rush to the aid of the Soviet Union. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the supplies supplied by the United States to the Soviet Union can be kept unblocked.

At the same time, a large number of American troops, under Roosevelt's orders, began to assemble and sail to Canada. There, they were to join the Anglo-French coalition and then go to the Soviet Union to fight.

"Fellow citizens of the United States of America, we now face the most formidable and formidable enemy that America has ever seen. They are not only wreaking havoc in Europe, they have even reached the USSR! They want to force their way across the Bering Strait and threaten the people of God in this land of freedom......"

Roosevelt began to use his oratorical abilities, and he delivered war speeches to the whole of America on the radio.

"But! Free people will never succumb to violence, and we will use our blood and fists to tell our enemies who try to violate us that they will go to hell! ”

"Liberty citizens of America! Now it's time for God to test us. Do we give in to the violence or rise up in the face of violence? Roosevelt's speech on the radio was so passionate, and his tone was constantly beating the emotions of those listeners.

"And I, the thirty-second President of the United States of America, will declare on behalf of the voters who have placed my trust: America will never give in! The Star-Spangled Banner will always fly proudly! Our warriors will break through the enemy's positions and tell the invaders that they will pay for their recklessness! ”

"Go forward! God will bless us, Amen......"

Singing "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls". The U.S. troops quickly left for Canada after the build-up. Eisenhower, who was in Moscow, was appointed commander of the Soviet Expeditionary Forces by Roosevelt.

He will be responsible for all U.S. military operations in the Soviet Union, as well as communication with the Soviet side. Seven hundred M4 Sherman tanks, which had just rolled off the production line, were equipped into active service.

They will rush to the Soviet battlefield with the American army. At the same time, there were 1,200 P-47 Thunderbolt fighters developed by Alexander Katvey and Alexander Psevisky!

In this war, under Roosevelt's strong orders, the US military used all its strength. The only requirement is to be able to win the war!

Guarantee the security of the Bering Strait. Of course, Roosevelt sent troops to the Soviet Union while also building a defensive line with Britain in the Bering Strait. If the Soviets lose, then holding the Bering Strait becomes a choice they must make.

As early as after the occupation of British soil, fearing that this would happen again, the British, who arrived in Canada, began to explore the Bering Strait where it was best to land.

It all comes together into information. In the Parliamentary Archives of the United Kingdom. Roosevelt could get his hands on this, and while sending troops to the Soviet Union, he also sent men to begin building fortifications at those possible landing sites.

"Let Stilwell contact the Tiger, if you can, we hope they can send troops to the Soviet Union as soon as possible......" Roosevelt rubbed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly, "Tell them." If there are any requirements, you can put forward them and discuss them. But sending troops is a must. ”

"Don't worry about the British side going back and forth, we in the United States will make sure they can get the ...... they want."

Roosevelt knew what the Wehrmacht and the Tiger were thinking, and there was no doubt that they would not be willing to send troops to the Soviet Union unless the Soviet Union was crippled. But if the Soviet Union is disabled, it means that the Bering Strait will be threatened.

This was what Roosevelt thought about the most. He must ensure the security of the Bering Strait. Because the security of the United States is at stake here.

"Your Excellency. IMHO. Marshall put down the notes in his hand and said to Roosevelt: "I'm afraid it's more difficult......

"Oh?! Why. Could it be that the coalition government has an appetite bigger than I thought?! Roosevelt looked up and asked Marshall.

Marshall, on the other hand, shook his head and said, "It's not a problem. In fact, if we ask the Chinese side, they will not refuse our request. And the conditions they put forward will not be too much......"

"What I'm saying is that those British will definitely ......not agree," Marshall said with a wry smile: "Last time, it was just to cede Southeast Asia, which had been occupied by the Japanese, and these British people were going crazy." Some British MPs are even thinking of a coalition government......"

"Humph! I will communicate with Prime Minister Churchill about this matter, and if he can't do it, then I will let the Chinese give priority to the distribution of benefits after the war. Roosevelt snorted coldly: "These Englishmen have been comfortable for too long. I don't even know how to take the knife and gun, right?! ”

Marshall smiled and didn't speak, in fact he felt the same way. The British fleet, which was large in number and advanced in weapons, was beaten and disarmed by the Germans overnight.

That's it, but then they even let people conquer the soil. As the leaders of the country, not only did they not think about how to fend off the attacking German army, but the first thing they thought of was to flee with their king.

The direct result of this choice is that Britain is now the weakest resistance. The British nationals, who had been abandoned by the parliamentarians, chose to resign themselves to living under German rule.

Most of the liaison officers who went to try to organize the resistance were also arrested after being reported. There is nothing greater than the death of the heart, and this sentence is vividly expressed in the fallen England.

"Alas...... Briton. If I could, I would like the coalition government to take their place. Roosevelt was very unhappy and said: "At least, they have driven out the Japanese who occupied their own land." And they were driven out of their capital by the Germans. ”

Marshall couldn't say this well, so he could only smile in return. Marshall then gave Roosevelt a military salute and turned away.

May 15, 1940, 8 a.m. The Supreme Council of the USSR announced its official accession to the Allies and the declaration of war on Germany. At the same time, they condemned the despicable act of Germany's undeclared war, and Trotsky, chairman of the Supreme Committee, declared that the Soviet Union would not give in and that the Soviet Union would continue to fight! Until the aggressor leaves his land.

The Germans, on the other hand, declared that they were not undeclared war, and that they had already handed over the declaration of war to Kalinin, deputy chairman of the Soviet Union's Supreme Council, half an hour before the start of the war.

At the same time, Germany said that they had attacked the Soviet Union only because Trotsky, the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union, had violated their previous agreement with Germany and forcibly took the mines and oil wells that had been traded to them.

Now all Germany is doing is recovering its own assets that have been stolen, and if the Soviets are honest then they should return these to Germany......

In short, the two sides are constantly fighting on the battlefield, and the war of words is not less. Ribbentrop returned to Berlin without a hitch. His mission in the USSR is now over.

He will most likely travel to China to try to convince the Tiger to join the Axis powers. Then, from the rear of the Soviet Union, that is, the Siberian region, it formed a flanking attack directly with the German army.

Completely and as quickly as possible to crush the Soviet Union. Hitler, for all his arrogance, knew better than anyone that the advantage now Germany had achieved was only temporary. As soon as winter comes, then the entire Soviet battlefield will turn into a nightmare.

So. Germany had to take the Soviet Union as quickly as possible before winter set in. Otherwise, the two sides reached a stalemate, and Germany would not have any advantage.

"His Royal Highness, Hiroshi Oshima sent a telegram to report a serious message to us...... "In Tokyo, Oei Kanin Miyajihito's office. The head of the China section walked in with a gloomy face.

He was now immersed in the news of Germany's victory, lamenting Germany's strength and scolding why Ishihara had not made any progress so far. In vain, the Germans underestimated it.

"Oh?! What's the news?! "Hearing that it was Hiroshi Oshima, Kanin Palace didn't have to think about it to know that it must be about Germany.

"The Germans tried to get them to join the Axis in terms of contacting China......"

"Nani?! Red Deer Noro!! These damn white pigs have no credibility at all, we and they are allies! That damn China is nothing more than a second-rate country......"

Xianyuan Gong listened to the words of the section leader, and his face suddenly roared angrily in the office. But the section chief was unmoved, and after staying in the camp for a long time, he was accustomed to the anger of His Royal Highness.

"What did Hiroshi Oshima say?! You read the telegram to me in its entirety......"

The head of the "Hai ......" section did not hesitate and directly carried out the order of the Xianyuan Palace. Hiroshi Oshima's telegram was simple, he got a message through his diplomatic relations in Berlin.

The FΓΌhrer was embarking on sending people to China in an attempt to contact the Chinese coalition government to join the Axis powers. And Mussolini in Italy was also supportive of this matter.

The strength that Japan is now displaying in the Chinese theater, the Southeast Asian theater, and the Soviet theater really dissatisfied Hitler and Mussolini.

On the contrary, they were interested in the slaughtered tigers who had come into contact with and drove the Japanese out of China and recovered parts of Southeast Asia.

And slaughter the tiger until now. It is still more ambiguous in the handling of Axis relations in Europe. Moreover, the tiger does not seem to have any intention of going to war against Germany and Italy.

They are now only focusing on dealing with the Japanese, and they will chase them almost wherever the Japanese go.

"Oshima reports that he wants us to show the strength of the Empire in this war. Otherwise, perhaps Germany will consider letting China take Japan's place now......" Xianyuan Palace summoned the staff officers of the large battalion to analyze the matter.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one came up with a feasible plan. The only thing they know for sure is that what Oshima said is not groundless.

If this war day is not able to show its strength, then there is no doubt that Germany will consider co-opting China. And this practice is extremely unfavorable for Japan.

Now Japan has seized the territory of the former European and American powers in Southeast Asia, and has also attacked Pearl Harbor. And Bataan's march, mining with British and American prisoners of war, etc., really killed many prisoners.

In this case. They are almost mortal enemies of Britain and the United States! If they are not beaten down, Britain and the United States will definitely not give up. In other words, now that there is no way back, we can only go hard.

They are not like China, on the one hand, they did not offend Germany and Italy to death. On the one hand, it did not completely sever ties with Britain and the United States. They are also fighting wars, and they are also the objects of all sides.

"Where did we get so many troops to support the Soviet Expeditionary Force?! Southeast Asia is at stake. Although the Wehrmacht has stopped the offensive for the time being, who can guarantee that they will not launch it again?! Who dares to say, when will they launch ?! ”

The staff officer of the battalion, Osa Miyake, jumped up and said directly: "I know that it is necessary to transfer troops to fight in the Soviet Union, but how to transfer this is something we must discuss!" ”

"The forces in Southeast Asia must not move recklessly, as this will affect the Empire's resource claims. If anything goes wrong there, all the industries of the empire will come to a halt. Do you know what it means in a war when the industry is shut down?! ”

There was now a debate in the battalion about where to send troops to fight in the Soviet Union. The troops that were transferred last time were, on the one hand, the elite troops of Japan and Turkey.

On the other hand. It is also from Southeast Asia that some elites are transferred. In the end, most of the troops were new recruits who had just stepped off the training ground.

But even so, the shortage of troops is a huge headache for Japan. On the one hand, Hirohito was extremely sensitive to the strength of the earth, and he had ordered that the transfer of those guard divisions from the soil to the battlefield should no longer be allowed.

And if it is with recruits. So what the battle will be like no one dares to say. As a result, some people proposed to transfer troops from Southeast Asia to support the Soviet battlefield.

But obviously, this has also met with great resistance. As Miyake said, Southeast Asia is too important for Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is now the lifeline of the day.

"Miyake-kun. You need to know that if we don't show the strength of the empire on the battlefields of the Soviet Union, the consequences will be even worse! Yanagawa Shinosa stood up and retorted: "Now Germany is already thinking about repositioning China!" Do you know what this means for the Empire?! ”

"If we achieved victory on the battlefield of the USSR. Perhaps Germany will look the other way. Yanagawa Shin took a deep breath and said: "In Oshima's telegram, I saw one thing: Germany hopes that China can send troops from Siberia, and then work with them to completely defeat the Soviet Union as quickly as possible." ”

From this point of view, it has become an established fact that Germany is courting China. And what we can do is to show our strength on the battlefield of the USSR. As a result, Germany had to think more at the expense of the Reich......"

Yanagawa Shinichi gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Even if you come to the last step...... Our performance on the battlefield in the Soviet Union will also increase our leverage to enter the allies......"

"Delusional! Yanagawa-kun! Miyake sneered unceremoniously: "We occupy Southeast Asia, do you think the allies will accept us?!" ”

"If China is co-opted by Germany, then we have a chance." Yanagawa Shin gritted his teeth and said, "I believe that when they are cornered, they will consider my suggestion......"

"You ......" Miyake jumped up, trying to say something, but Xianyuan Palace glared at everyone, and suddenly turned off the fire.

"Tell Sugiyama Gen to send elite troops from Southeast Asia to the Soviet Union for support!" After listening to these disputes, Xianyuan Palace directly made a final decision.

"In any case, we must show ......something on the battlefield of the Soviet Union," Xianyuan Gong took a deep breath and said, "The training of recruits will be accelerated, and they will be sent to the Southeast Asian battlefield as soon as possible." ”

"Organize local troops to assist in the battle,told Sugiyama Moto. I only ask him to defend Weijiang now, and if there is a problem in Weijiang, he will apologize to His Majesty himself......"

At this time, Tu Menghu received a telegram from Roosevelt from Washington. At the same time, the Germans informed the coalition government through their own channels that their envoy would be coming in secret......
