Age of Rebirth

Maybe because he spoke too quickly, Roosevelt paused, gasping for breath, as if he was going to be unable to hold on any longer, but his senses were extremely sharp, and he could almost feel the stunned generals on the other end of the phone. His complexion, the horror in his eyes, and his expression as if he was suddenly struck by lightning.

After a short pause, Roosevelt went on to say: "Don't hesitate and doubt, trust your president, and resolutely carry out my orders. Finally, may God bless all American and Canadian soldiers to be transferred to Canada smoothly. I am in Germany Luce is watching you, you are America's hope and future! Good luck to all Soldiers!"

"Tap!" The receiver of the phone slipped from Roosevelt's hand weakly. The words just now exhausted all his mental and physical strength. There was a burst of bruise on his sallow face, and his eyes were closed tightly. Leaning his head on the back of the wheelchair, he seemed to be muttering something subconsciously, but no one could hear him clearly.

In the war room, all the senior US generals were stunned. The cigars in their mouths fell to the ground. They didn't realize the order from the president just now. What did the president do?

He ordered all the troops to retreat on the now solid defense line of the Delela Mountains. When the defense line is not tight, he gave up defending the largest barrier in the central and eastern regions of the United States, and sent more than 100 million Japanese soldiers to drive straight into the central region. Is he crazy? ?

The Germans and the Japanese joined forces, and Peel and Bismarck would fall in an instant, and the temporary capital Duluth.It will soon become the target of the Axis powers, where else can we retreat?

"Mr. President must be crazy! He is going to destroy America!" All the generals stood up.Looking at President Roosevelt with anger in his eyes, many generals have already begun to consider whether to forcefully take over the command right away, and this paralyzed man who doesn't understand military affairs can't be allowed to destroy the United States!

Admiral Jeffrey's mood was equally complicated and bewildered.This earth-shattering, or in other words, an order that was not accepted by the generals in the war room, had previously.Mr. President, you have not revealed any information to yourself. Is it because you don't trust yourself, or are there unspeakable difficulties and reasons?

Be those generals with fierce eyes.There was a commotion.While swearing non-stop, Admiral Jeffrey suddenly woke up. He remembered that yesterday morning, Mr. President had ordered himself very solemnly, "Deploy a company of gendarmerie to wait outside the war room of the Supreme Command. , Jeffrey, the military police of this company must be reliable and loyal to me. You must absolutely obey my orders!"

Now, Admiral Jeffrey finally understands that Mr. President's pre-arrangement is to control the situation now, fearing that the generals will riot on the spot. Now, he has no choice. Everyone knows that he is the absolute confidant of the President. , I can only continue to be loyal to Mr. President, I hope his decision is correct, so Admiral Jeffrey gestured towards a captain officer standing at the door.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and in an instant, a large group of military police with live ammunition rushed into the operation room, and the black muzzles were aimed at the senior generals, another sudden change.

The generals who were summoned to the Supreme Command during the war, when they entered the door, according to the usual practice, put all the pistols they wore with them in the guard room at the door. Now, they are unarmed, otherwise, maybe there is that general who will be angry. And draw the gun, how many bullets were given to Roosevelt on the spot?

The atmosphere in the war room was oppressive and tense, and a single spark could be ignited. Facing the muzzles of the military police, none of these senior generals of the US military dared to act rashly. Obviously, Roosevelt was well prepared and predicted that it would happen They all hated the situation, "This damned paralyzed man is indeed a veteran of politics! Even force repression is prepared in advance!"

The silence and depression did not last long. Roosevelt seemed to have regained some energy. He shook his wheelchair, faced the glaring generals, and waved at the military police, who silently exited the war room.

"You must be angry in your heart, and you want to kill me, right?" Roosevelt looked at a group of generals who were displeased, and said slowly. His sallow face and a pair of eyes shone with burning light, staring at me. everyone.

Silence, the generals used silent expressions to express their inner anger. Since the founding of the United States of America, no president has ordered soldiers to point guns at the heads of military generals. Roosevelt is unprecedented.

Roosevelt smiled bitterly and continued: "Anger and resentment can't solve the problem. After my order is issued and before the result comes out, I don't want to explain anything to you. If this leads to the subjugation of the country, I will be responsible for all the crimes. bear!"

The generals still didn't say a word. If it really caused the United States to slide to the brink of national subjugation, it would kill Roosevelt to pieces.Frustration, what can change?

Roosevelt went on to say: "Wait patiently. Tomorrow, the result will be known. You will see the result no later than tomorrow evening. From now until the result comes out, I will trouble you and temporarily stay at the Supreme Command during wartime. Stop all external communication, this is not house arrest, but a necessary measure!"

"I'm worried that one of you will use his status in the army to issue an order contrary to what I just ordered to the troops that are retreating urgently on the western battlefield. If so, it will be the biggest tragedy in the United States !"

General Stimson, the Minister of the Army, couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. President, why did you issue such an order? Why?"

"For the sake of the United States of America, we will not be in danger of subjugation!" Roosevelt replied indifferently, "Don't keep asking, General Stimson! All mysteries will be solved tomorrow evening!" Then, to Admiral Jeffrey, said : "Jeffrey, arrange for your colleagues to rest! I am also tired and need to rest. Good night everyone!"

Roosevelt's wheelchair disappeared into the war room under the complex eyes of the generals. His heart was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. He didn't want to treat the generals like this, but he had to do so.

Abandoning the defense line of the Delera Mountains in the western battlefield, which blocked more than one million elite Japanese troops, was definitely a gamble on the future of the United States. Roosevelt believed that no one in the United States, except himself, would win the gamble. However, if he openly solicited the opinions of the generals, he would attract strong opposition, and it is very likely that his gamble would be aborted.

These generals, even if they risked their lives, would stop themselves. Therefore, even the most trusted Jeffrey did not reveal a word. Now, the game is going in the direction he expected. Roosevelt believes that , I should be able to win the bet, and I will sleep well tonight!

General Yamamoto, who hadn't slept all night and was full of thoughts, didn't have any sleepiness at all that night. Pain and helplessness tormented him all the time. Just as the eastern sky showed a pale white, he walked out of the room. The clear air brought a chill to his face. When he came, he couldn't help shivering, and his mind seemed to be clearer!

General Yamamoto's gaze, looking into the distance, pierces through the north and south of the Delela Mountains in the west, and the peaks that are not high in altitude stretch out in front of him continuously. This is the American and Canadian defense line, blocking Stop the footsteps of the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire, and also make your own ambitions wither here!

"At the other end of the mountain, what are the Germans doing?" General Yamamoto couldn't help guessing, "It must be grabbing territory!"

General Yamamoto stood like this frozen, standing under the gradually brightening sky, the sun has risen, and soon, a new attack is about to start, although it is still a hopeless attack, but it must go on.

Sure enough, after a while, General Yamamoto heard the sound of rumbling cannons. At this point, he was in no mood. The smell of gunpowder wafting in the wind brought him no excitement, but irony!

Admiral Yamamoto walked back absent-mindedly, and suddenly saw Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda, the chief of staff of the United Fleet, galloping towards him like crazy, the movement was so fast that he was surprised. Chief of Staff, such a gaffe.

"Commander! Commander!" Chief of Staff Matsuda shouted loudly when he was still more than ten meters away. Immediately, he also came to General Yamamoto, with terrifying brilliance in his eyes, and said out of breath: "Commander Officer, after receiving a report from the commander of the attacking force, the American and Canadian soldiers on the front line of the Delera Mountains suddenly disappeared overnight, and the defense line was opened!"

"What?" General Yamamoto's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Chief of Staff Matsuda's collar. He almost roared and asked, "Say it again?"

"The American and Canadian troops on the Delela Mountain line of defense have all retreated!" Chief of Staff Matsuda said excitedly even though his neck was strangled, "All the commanders of the attacking forces have sent the same message." Report!"

"Is the news accurate?"

"Absolutely accurate, I've verified it!"

"God Amaterasu bless you!" General Yamamoto closed his eyes, enjoying the impact of this sudden great happiness, and his head felt dizzy, it was incredible, how could he be able to make himself desperate in one night? The mountain line of defense suddenly opened up across the board?

Yamamoto didn't have time to analyze and judge this almost weird phenomenon, and he didn't think about how more than 100 million American soldiers and Canadian soldiers disappeared overnight without a trace.

He immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if it was a huge trap laid by the Americans, and there was an American ambush on the other side of the mountain, he would jump into it without hesitation!
