Seven Hundred and Two Cloudy
"President Roosevelt, I think you have to explain our country's recent series of crazy military operations." A congressman stared at Roosevelt and asked, "Who approved you to use strategic bombers in the Middle East to carry out air strikes on Romania?" Only less than ten planes returned to the territory of the Soviet Union, and no more than five planes could return to the Middle East! Who will bear this loss?"
A general of the Army Air Corps sighed aside. He recently had to personally issue the death notices for more than 2,000 Air Force soldiers. Now the entrance of a recruiting office of the Army Aviation is still crowded with family members of the deceased who come to ask for explanations. Unfriendly forces have encouraged reporters to start reporting on the matter, and Roosevelt's current situation is very bad.
And the American president in a wheelchair raised his head and squinted his eyes at the congressman who spoke rudely, sighed and shook his head, as if the other party was a complete idiot, and it was not worth him to explain anything at all. As a result, this action made the congressman even more annoyed, but he blushed and couldn't say a single word.
"Everything that President Roosevelt has done is the best result discussed with the military. Failure is not what each of us wants to see, but if we don't make efforts, the future of mankind will be dark." One A general stood behind Roosevelt, and said calmly to the congressman, "If you are still an American, please be cautious about your attitude! According to the Wartime Act, I have the right to issue an order to investigate you!"
On the shoulders of this general, the star light of a brigadier general shines. As a military member who supports Roosevelt's tough policies on Japan and Germany, this 48-year-old general is the famous Eisenhower. It's just that now he hasn't reached the position of five-star general, but is just an unknown young general of the US Army.
Even compared to Patton under his command in the future, his military rank is now much lower. However, this general has attracted high-level attention in the United States because he recently published an accurate paper on the relationship between the United States and the Axis powers. This paper clearly pointed out that once the Axis powers become a worldwide alliance, the United States will Marginalized, eventually going to the Axis powers in the future, becoming part of the new world order under German rule without a fight.
This article made him highly appreciated by Roosevelt. Not long ago, he had used American Jews and his own personal power to nominate him for promotion to major general of the army. This nomination has been reviewed and approved, but tomorrow is the major general's promotion date.
"Ah, here you are, General Eisenhower." Roosevelt obviously admired this general who could see the embarrassment of the United States in the future like him. It rarely resonates with high-level Americans, so I especially cherish the general in front of me who understands him.
And another general he admired very much has now been promoted to brigadier general and became his personal chief military adviser. This person is also famous, and he is the general who often serves as Patton's queen, Bradley. Now the United States has entered a state of war in an all-round way.
It can be said that the entire world is against the United States. Japan and Germany are attacking the United States from the east and west, so that the US fleet has to deal with threats from two directions at the same time.
"More than half of the members of Congress have accepted the fact that they have declared war with Germany. What's the use of you still talking about it? Why don't you think about how to make war money? That's what businessmen like you should do!" Eisenhower than Longmei Er is still a few years younger, so it can be said that he is definitely the representative general of the young and strong faction. He doesn't have to worry about his tone of voice. After all, the two sides are not in the same system at all, so there is no need to care about it.
A month ago, Japanese soldiers on Kauai ended their war of aggression by committing suicide. More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who were so hungry that they collapsed launched a desperate charge to the American troops that landed, but it is a pity that the United States that greeted them did not have the spirit of bushido. idea.
So the Americans regained their islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, but fell into a new crisis within a few days. The combined fleet of the Japanese Navy pursued and killed General Spruance's aircraft carrier squadron all the way, and re-killed from the Philippine waters to the periphery of Kauai Island. The second battle for Kauai Island kicked off.
However, compared to the previous time, the strategic deployment made by the Americans on the Hawaiian Islands is countless times stronger. At least 400 improved P-40 fighter jets have been deployed on Oahu Island, and they want to eat this The huge number of U.S. Army aviation units is estimated to definitely make the Japanese Navy's aviation units shatter their teeth.
Of course, Japan is not unprepared. Yamamoto Fifty-Six knows that it is impossible to win an overwhelming victory with his navy's fighter jets. So he and the generals of the Ministry of the Army came to cooperate for the first time, and brought in a full 70,000 Japanese infantry in one breath, and also carried some heavy equipment and large-caliber support artillery. of the U.S. Army.
And this time, the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet can be said to be in full force. Not only the four main aircraft carriers under the command of General Nagumo Chuichi, but also four other modified aircraft carriers with mediocre performance followed, increasing the number of their own aircraft carriers to eight in one go, which is nearly three times that of the US fleet . There are more than 600 carrier-based aircraft, including more than 200 cutting-edge Zero fighters.
This time, the Japanese Army dispatched as many as 4 reorganized divisions to form a complete front army. The experienced and ruthless army general, General Yamashita Fengwen, served as the commander of the front army, and was fully responsible for the road combat missions to occupy the Hawaiian Islands.
This Yamashita Fufumi is another general who was hailed as the Malay Tiger in Japan in another time and space. Before he was sent to the Philippines, his record was not very glorious. He suffered two defeats on the Chinese battlefield, and he seemed to be psychologically shadowed by several Chinese German weapon masters.
Apparently being psychologically shadowed by the Chinese German weapon master did not affect his level of fighting monkeys in the Philippines. He led the Japanese troops going south and invaded Malaysia from the Philippines in one breath. , he may be sent to Australia, which has a vast land and abundant resources.
"Is the military sure of the second battle of the Hawaiian Islands?" Roosevelt knew that the current situation was actually very unfavorable to the United States. He urgently needed a victory to boost the morale of the Allied forces, and he really needed a victory to strengthen his presidency.
It is obvious that it is only a distant dream to defeat Rommel, who is in full swing in the Middle East, and then take back Alexander in one breath, because the United States has not yet had a large-scale successful case of defeating the German army-so defeating the aggressive army in the other direction Japan has become a very natural choice. After all, not long ago, the United States just defeated Japan once, and it seemed very easy.
So he anxiously asked about the preparations for this battle, and even if possible, he wanted to go to the Hawaiian Islands in person to see if the preparations there were as perfect as the report said.
"The telegram sent by General Nimitz stated that he will try his best to consume the strength of the Japanese navy, especially the air force, in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands." Eisenhower took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to President Roosevelt said: "Brigadier General Bradley has just arrived at Oahu with the supply ship, and he will command the troops to stand there until the last moment. If we can win, then this battle will be completely laid in the Pacific Ocean. We have won basis for strategic initiative.”
"Can the Army really resist the Japanese landing? It didn't take long to lose Kauai last time." Roosevelt asked a little worriedly.
"Mr. President, we have tried our best. I cannot assure you that we will defend that island, but I assure you that we will do everything we can to defend that small island." Eisenhower replied firmly.
"Hearing what you said, I'm more or less relieved." Roosevelt nodded, and then motioned for his butler to push his wheelchair. Eisenhower followed behind the wheelchair, and the three of them walked slowly towards the end of the corridor.
At the end, Roosevelt suddenly said: "We have doubled the military aid to the Soviet Union. At least 300 tanks and 200 planes have been sent to the Far East. I hope the Soviets will not let us down this time. The Eastern Front bought us enough time."
"Intelligence agencies have shown that a German intelligence organization called Beehive or Beehive has been working inside the Soviet Union. Although the Soviets tried to eliminate this spy network several times, they failed." Eisenhower said helplessly: "Stalin accepted After receiving our notification, he also paid attention to this information. He felt that the Germans had already known about the Soviet winter offensive, so he decided to launch an attack as soon as possible to disrupt the German deployment."
"This is a good thing, at least we can't be led by the nose to the end by the Germans!" Roosevelt touched the armrest of the wheelchair and said in a deep voice: "I will find a way to send 100 tanks and 100 fighter jets to the Soviets, and support them as soon as possible." Organize a new offensive on the Eastern Front."
"Yes! Mr. President!" Eisenhower said, standing at attention.
