Age of Rebirth

But not picking on each other doesn't mean that Hitler and Emperor Hirohito, the supreme rulers of Germany and Japan, don't have this thorn in their hearts. The cooperation between countries and the opinions on the table are not terrible, terrible. What's more, they are all stuffy and fermenting in their hearts. There will always be an outbreak. Now, the two rulers of Germany and Japan are in such a state.

Hitler gritted his teeth secretly in his heart. He had known for a long time that it would not be too pleasant to cooperate with the Japanese, but he did not expect that this kind of unhappiness would come so early, but he did not blame Rommel. The actions of his confidant and beloved general are understandable. .

Hitler began to figure out how to make the Japanese happy after the end of the war with the United States, or in other words, get a small part of the benefits, so he thought of his old friend Tang Qiuli again, but for now, It's not the right time!

In addition, Hitler ordered Marshal Strong, Chief of Staff, to immediately form a third batch of troops to reinforce Rommel's South American Army Group, including an air force of 35 combat aircraft, [-] The mechanized division and three tank corps total about [-] troops.

Just as Marshal Strong left his office, the secretary came in to report that Admiral Dönitz, the naval commander, asked to see him.

Hitler, the head of state of Germany, was gritting his teeth secretly. Emperor Hirohito of Japan was publicly scolding his mother. Of course, he was scolding the Germans, and scolding the Germans is not a thing.

After scolding, Emperor Hirohito began to think about how to manipulate the relationship with the Germans after this incident happened.Of course, he didn't blame his confidant, the five generals Yamamoto, if they were put behind by the Germans.Not paying back, that's not the style of our Japanese imperialists!

Hirohito realized that if he could gain more benefits after the end of the war with the United States, it would only be in terms of military strength and strength, surpassing Germany's current military strength on the North American battlefield, and using military strength.Get what you want, plus, with the intervention of the Canadians.The troops commanded by Yamamoto now appear to be insufficient.

Therefore, Emperor Hirohito held a military meeting in front of the imperial court, and a decision was made at the meeting.To Imperial North American Combat Command.Reinforce the strength of ten first-class divisions. Where do these troops come from? Some are newly formed troops in the country. There are three divisions. The other part has seven divisions. Deployed from the garrison.

Among them, three main divisions were transferred from Australia. The reason why so many troops were transferred from Australia.Taking into account Australia's geographical location, it is the Indochina Peninsula with more than one million independent division troops Chen Bing.There is a vast ocean and several islands occupied by the empire in the middle. Strategically speaking, it belongs to the rear area and is relatively safe. As a result, there are only four divisions of the Japanese army stationed in Australia, less than 9 people. troops.

The remaining five divisions were drawn from the garrisons in Luzon, Mindanao, Kalimantan, Sumatra and other islands. In this way, the Japanese defense forces on the islands in the Southwest Pacific were reduced by more than 20 people. about.

As for the shortage of troops, the Japanese had their own way. They recruited a large number of local residents to form several imperial alliance troops, with a lot of Japanese equipment and Japanese military uniforms. The brainwashing method of His Majesty's allegiance, the officers at all levels are all Japanese, which is not bad. By May 50, more than [-] Imperial Association troops were pulled up at once.

The Japanese dispatched more than [-] combat aircraft to indiscriminately bombard the area outside the defense line of the Dillerah Mountains. Moreover, it is an area where the deployment of US troops is very rare. The members of the US Supreme Command during the war were also confused. , Inexplicable, I don’t know if the Japanese took the wrong medicine and went crazy on secondary areas and secondary targets, but the Americans are happy to see that the pressure on the western defense line can be reduced.

The defense line of the Delera Mountains on the western battlefield became more stable due to the joining of the Canadians. The Japanese were unable to break through in a short period of time and fell into a stalemate. On the southwestern border battlefield, the Germans successively occupied Phoenix, Santa Fe and After Austin, the momentum of the offensive has also slowed down. More than [-] troops have been deployed on the second line of defense on the southwest border, and they can temporarily ensure that they are safe.

The pressure from two directions was reduced at the same time. While the American people breathed a sigh of relief, President Roosevelt was finally able to take a breath. His attention was temporarily diverted from the battlefield. He felt that it was time for a showdown with members of Congress.

Roosevelt knew very well that the current stability of the two battlefields was only a temporary phenomenon. The so-called "holding for a long time will surely lose!" Human beings are permanently blocked at the current position. As for completely driving the invaders out of the American land, we should give up this unrealistic idea for the time being!

Now, the war in the mainland is still burning on the western and southwestern borders, and has not spread to the central and eastern regions, but the two regions are by no means pure land. Whether it is the Japanese or the Germans, they will eventually attack the central and eastern regions, and even Roosevelt It can be inferred that the more intense battles in the future will take place in the central and eastern regions.

The central and eastern regions of the United States are the heart and armpits of the United States. Most of the political, military, economic and cultural centers of the United States are located in the central and western regions. Once the war spreads here, it will destroy the United States. Fundamentally, if the United States loses its capital to continue to fight against the aggressors, it will shake the foundation of the country, and the United States will not be far from subjugation!

Therefore, as an outstanding politician with far-sighted thinking and the current President of the United States, Roosevelt must take this into consideration. He knows better that the battle with the Germans and Japanese will last for a long time, two or three years. Year. . . . . .or more years.

As long as the foundation of the United States is preserved, it will have the capital and confidence to deal with the Germans and Japanese. Even if the central and eastern regions are smashed into a scorched earth, the United States has a chance to recover. Roosevelt has already made up his mind. Come to a scorched-earth resistance war on the mainland!

Therefore, Roosevelt must take precautions to keep the foundation of the United States. After he and Canadian Prime Minister MacKenzie negotiated in secret, another agreement was reached, which was to relocate industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research institutions in the central and eastern regions of the United States to Canada. He also told Mackenzie an absolutely shocking decision, the United States will move its capital!

Roosevelt clearly remembered that when Mackenzie heard what he said, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak at first, his face was full of disbelief, and then he thought for a long time, and finally he agreed , and admire my determination and courage.

Now that the war situation has stabilized for the time being, Roosevelt can finally free up his hands to handle this matter, but he knows how difficult this matter is. Although he is the President of the United States, he has integrated military and political power in one person with the passage of the Wartime Act However, the political system of the United States determines that it is doomed to be unable to cover the sky with one hand. The biggest obstacle is the members of both houses of Congress!

Relocating all industrial, mining, and scientific research institutions in the central and eastern regions to Canada, first of all, the representatives of these American interest groups, members of Congress will not agree, that is their cheese, as for moving the capital, it is even more difficult. It breaks the existing political structure of the United States and involves various interests. However, without the unanimous approval of members of Congress, the relocation of the capital and relocation cannot be carried out.

Even the interest groups who have lost their interests will join forces to drive themselves out. The night was dark, and Roosevelt was sleepless. proposed bill?

One day in mid-February [-] was the day when the two houses of the U.S. Congress convened. President Roosevelt attended the meeting with only White House Chief of Staff Joelna. In a sense, Roosevelt was quite The pride of going to the meeting alone.

In front of more than 1000 members of the Senate and House of Representatives, Roosevelt spent more than half an hour explaining his decision, the reasons and basis for making this decision, and the real crisis facing the United States.

Roosevelt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said emotionally at the end of his speech: "Since the founding of the United States of America, relocation is unprecedented. I understand the pain in your hearts, and my own pain is even more than that of you. In the history of the United States, the first incumbent president who decides to move the capital, bears all the pressure and anger, even hate and curse!"

"However, the dangerous situation that the United States is now facing does not allow us to hesitate any longer. Once the central and eastern regions are caught in the flames of war, the foundation of the United States will be shaken. Relocation of the capital, industrial and mining enterprises, and scientific research institutions is a last resort. , everything is for the United States, for the United States to finally drive out the aggressors!"

"Therefore, I sincerely hope that I can get the understanding and support of the members of the Congress. For the future of the United States, so that the United States will not perish, all you need is to raise your hands and agree to my proposal. As for infamy and cursing, accusations and hatred, I will bear it alone, and leave the merits and demerits to history to judge!"

Roosevelt's speech is absolutely from the heart, and it is also practical. It can be said that it is not touching, and it is sincere. A man who is paralyzed in a wheelchair, a man with a sick bone, dragging his long-term illness, is still doing his best. The future and destiny of the United States does not hesitate to bear the infamy, its personality deserves respect!

The chief of staff of the White House, Joelna, who was always standing behind Roosevelt, had been crying for a long time. Joelna also believed that even a hard-hearted person would be moved by the president's heartfelt words. Is it the American political elite?
