Age of Rebirth

Two days later, President Roosevelt delivered a famous speech in front of nearly a thousand members of the Senate and House of Representatives in the U.S. Congress. At the beginning of his speech, he said: "On April 25, [-], Peace The peaceful, beautiful, and beautiful East Coast of the United States was bombed by the Japanese unprecedentedly, and the Japanese imposed war on the American people. % This day is a sad day for all the American people... "

Roosevelt's speech lasted more than an hour. It is hard to imagine that given his physical condition, he could speak for such a long time with a full spirit. Roosevelt, with his contagious eloquence and personal Charisma convinced all members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that the wartime bill was passed smoothly.

The military and economic mutual assistance agreement to be signed with the Mexican government, as well as several other provisional bills, were passed together. The degree of smoothness made Roosevelt, who was preparing for a hard fight, dumbfounded and unbelievable. Of course, the most important of them was, There are also many factors including the Japanese bombing of the east coast of the United States, the German army of five divisions, and the pressure of approaching the Mexican border.

Because President Roosevelt described a terrible scene for the members of Congress in his speech. It is not so much that Roosevelt moved the members of Congress, but rather that the interest groups behind them, out of their own interests, regardless of The Germans or the Japanese, when they set foot on the mainland of the United States, are the times when these interest groups are bankrupt, and no one is willing to give up their vested interests, so there is only one war!

America's wartime act was passed.With no constraints, Roosevelt began to act vigorously, and orders were issued from the White House.Temporary laws and regulations were promulgated quickly, and the entire United States began a war mobilization. The United States, this huge war machine, shook off the rust on its parts and began to move slowly and heavily.

certainly.For the current United States, the situation is still very dangerous, the Japanese threat to the east coast.The threat of the Germans to the southern border hangs over the Americans like two sharp knives, and there is also the unpredictable retreat of the Australian Allied Forces.And imminent danger.It is the Japanese who will launch a large-scale air strike on the east coast at any time, and even the Japanese army landed on the mainland of the United States!

President Roosevelt's worries about the Japanese were not unreasonable. General Yamamoto, who commanded the combined fleet and withdrew to the combat radius of the US land-based aviation, learned that the German army of five divisions had approached southern Mexico. After the intelligence on the frontier.Overjoyed, he realized.For the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The actions of the Germans can be regarded as tacit cooperation, which is bound to attract the defense forces of the United States to the southern part of the United States. Then, on the east coast, the defense of the Americans is still extremely empty, and it is impossible to quickly recover from the previous attack. After recovering, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible for the Americans to establish a complete defense system on the east coast, especially the air defense force.

A huge fighter plane, unprecedentedly placed in front of the Empire of Japan, used air strikes and bombings to severely damage the defense system of the east coast of the United States, and hit its people's hearts and morale. General Yamamoto was so excited that he trembled all over.

Based on this, General Yamamoto used all his military talents to formulate a larger-scale bombing plan targeting the east coast of the United States, focusing on the existing land and sea aviation of the Imperial North American Combat Command. The area was intensively bombed for three consecutive days, and all the targets were blown into ruins. Then, the scope of the bombing was expanded to the depth of the US territory.

Select cities in the central part of the United States, such as Phoenix, Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, Denver, Bismarck, and other important cities, to carry out bombings of the same scale. Admiral Yamamoto's most daring plan is that at the end, the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy will approach Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. Coastal cities on the east coast of the United States, covering at least three divisions of the Marine Corps, landed on the east coast of the United States, and launched a tentative attack on the United States.

General Yamamoto's battle plan was actually a rehearsal before the large-scale landing of the Japanese army on the continental United States. It included the intention to test the resistance and will of the Americans. The deeper intention was to establish several This is a deep bridgehead to attack the mainland of the United States, and the huge combined fleet is in the nearby waters. Once the Americans counterattack frantically, they will be untenable. At worst, they can cover the retreat of the Marine Corps at any time.

After staying up all night, General Yamamoto finally completed his ambitious campaign plan, and quickly reported it to Emperor Hirohito and the headquarters with an urgent top-secret telegram. Carrying combat aircraft, carried out a large-scale bombing of the east coast of the United States, such as entering an uninhabited territory, and returning the fleet with almost no losses. The situation brought back was just in line with his judgment. , almost blank!

Admiral Yamamoto, the commander of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, after reporting the battle plan, was anxiously waiting for His Majesty's Royal Assent. As for the opinion of the headquarters, it was second to none. What he valued was His Majesty's decree.

However, he did not wait for the approval of Emperor Hirohito, and issued a combat order to all the troops under the North American Combat Command, including the two armies of the Army. The Japanese army in the Hawaiian Islands began to plan for General Yamamoto, and Get busy.

What General Yamamoto didn't know was that the current Emperor Hirohito was caught in a difficult decision. The cause was the sealed telegram from the German head of state. The only competitor and enemy of the Japanese empire in the Pacific is the United States with a deep foundation. For the supremacy in the Pacific, Japan and the United States must have a deadly battle!

The war cannot be avoided, especially what moved Emperor Hirohito was that Hitler also uncharacteristically promised to provide the imperial army with a full set of German equipment. The weapons and equipment of the Japanese Empire are superior to those of the Great Japanese Empire, and it will not work if you are not convinced, or you can say that Hitler is rich and powerful!

What moved Hirohito the most was Hitler's words in the telegram, "Germany will continue to send additional troops to the South American continent to maintain Germany's superiority in military strength in the Americas. This is Germany's established national policy. There is no doubt about this! "

This sentence of Hitler was interpreted by Emperor Hirohito as, "The Germans want to attack the United States, and more likely, the Imperial North American Combat Command bombed the east coast of the United States, allowing the Germans to see the essence of American weakness !"

Germany and Japan joined hands to eliminate the United States and carve up the North American continent. This is the conclusion drawn by Emperor Hirohito.

Emperor Hirohito was very excited by this conclusion. Ever since Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, appeared as the nemesis of the empire, which led to the defeat of the empire in the war against China, the strategic focus of the Empire of Japan was forced to turn to the Pacific region and kill the United States. Dominating the Pacific Ocean is his greatest wish, and now, the opportunity to realize his wish has come.

However, after calming down, the ruthless reality still poured a bucket of cold water on Hirohito, that is, the empire's troops are not enough. Now Japan has used all its mobile troops on the Australian battlefield, and it is impossible to divide its troops to attack the United States. On the mainland, even with the support of the Germans, according to Hirohito's own estimation, there are no troops of more than 150 million people, and there is no chance of winning against the Americans in the United States!

Ito Yansaburo's German Southwest Pacific dispatched army has more than 180 million troops, but there is also that damned China devil Tang Qiuli, who has more than [-] million soldiers in the Indochina Peninsula, which is the largest force in the empire's existing occupied area. Threat, if Ito Yanzaburo's troops are used to attack the mainland of the United States, and the independent division troops are stabbed in the back, the situation will be dangerous, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Suffering, Emperor Hirohito fell into great suffering, not because the war was unfavorable, but because the attractive opportunity was in front of him, but for various reasons, he did not dare to move his mouth to eat, or in other words, he was unable to eat, and died of hunger Personal isn't it?

After a few days of torment, Emperor Hirohito still held an imperial military meeting to discuss the German head of state Hitler's secret telegram. What should we do about the benefits of the Germans sending him to his door? He wanted to hear the opinions of the ministers.

The military generals headed by the Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of the headquarters, Minai Koichi, kept a clear head enough for Hitler's secret telegram. Attacking the United States is not a trivial matter. It requires the entire Japanese Empire to gamble. What's more, the current Great Japanese Empire is not capital-sufficient!

The opinions of the ministers are very clear. The current Australian war is not over yet. The strategic focus of the empire should still be to give priority to resolving the allied forces on the Australian battlefield. Once the Australian war is over and the imperial army wins, then the next step will be considered.

The old-fashioned words of the ministers caused Emperor Hirohito to have a fever of one hundred degrees in his head. He calmed down and knew that he was a little worried. It has already been killed in the United States. However, the poor family has a poor career, so I dare not toss!

The imperial military conference determined the following policy, "At present, the empire focuses on solving the problems on the Australian battlefield, with the ultimate goal of annihilating the Allied forces. , Resume the offensive posture against the Australian Allied Forces, and strive to end the Australian war in the shortest possible time!"

The plan of Emperor Hirohito and the ministers is to wait for the troops commanded by Ito Gensaburo to get away from Australia, and then look at the next move of the Germans, and then decide what to do. Before the imperial meeting is over, General Yamamoto’s The code is coming.
