But before Roosevelt had time to let go of his hanging heart, bad news came from Ottawa. The Germans were landing in Iceland!Moreover, the free British government in Ottawa has made it clear that it is unable to defend this important island. It is estimated that the island will be completely controlled by the German army within a week, and then Greenland will soon fall, and then it will be the turn of Newfoundland.

Hitler's powerful army, which has no opponents throughout Europe, will soon set foot on the land of North America!If the U.S. Army can't drive them into the sea, then the history of the United States may really come to an end...

Is America still saved?

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Colonel Carton, the President's adjutant, pushed the door and walked in.

"Mr. President, General Marshall, General MacArthur, General Leahy, General Arnold, and General Forbes of the United Kingdom have all arrived."

"Please come in." Roosevelt struggled to adjust the angle of his wheelchair to face the desk with both hands.Two White House service members in uniforms walked in and drew the heavy curtains before turning on the lights, making it look like daylight inside.Several generals with gloomy faces filed in, each found a seat and sat down.

"Your Excellency, the Bermuda Islands have just sent a telegram, and the bombardment of the German fleet has not started until 9 pm." Admiral Marshall reported the good news as soon as he sat down.

Hearing this news, Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief. The German fleet probably has a holiday tonight, right?But finally, the US military in Bermuda can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Admiral Forbes," Roosevelt rubbed his temples, glanced at the representative of Free Britain with tired eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Is Prime Minister Churchill really not going to defend Iceland and Greenland?"

Chapter 0942 opened the door of the United States ([-]) the death of a loving father

Charles Forbes glanced at the haggard American president with a wry smile: "Mr. President, with all due respect, we do not have the strength to defend Iceland and Greenland. Prime Minister Churchill and Admiral Pound believed that the first line of defense to defend Canada It should be in Newfoundland and Labrador."

"Can you hold it there?" Roosevelt asked anxiously.

Admiral Forbes shook his head: "No, we need the help of the United States."

"How many troops can we send?" President Roosevelt turned to look at Admiral Marshall.Marshall hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "The United States now has enough ground troops, as many as they want, but the strength of the Army Air Force is limited, and there are not enough airports in Newfoundland and Labrador Peninsula."

"Don't worry about the airport problem, we can quickly build ten or more large military airports." Forbes quickly expressed his opinion.

Churchill had given him instructions to get as many airmen as possible from the United States to defend Canada.As for the ground forces that are not available for the time being, if there is no air superiority, the Germans will not venture across the 1000-kilometer icy ocean to land in Canada.Therefore, the key to defending Canada is also air power.However, the air power of the United States and the free United Kingdom is not unlimited, and it is impossible to guard the east coast of the United States and Canada airtight.Therefore, only the most critical areas should be protected.In other words, some less important areas will become abandoned...

Of course, Roosevelt understood the thoughts of Churchill and Free Britain. The current war situation is tight, and they are also afraid of becoming cannon fodder for the United States or being abandoned after being used by the United States.The president pinched his brows, sighed, and said to General Arnold, "The Army Aviation Corps must do everything possible to divert its forces to Canada." He paused and said, "All the planes on the west coast should be diverted to Canada."

"But President, the Hawaiian Islands are still in the hands of the Japanese..." MacArthur interrupted suddenly at this moment: "It is very likely that they will send troops to attack the west coast to cooperate with Germany."

"No, no, the Japanese are too busy to take care of themselves, and the Chinese will soon attack North Korea." Roosevelt picked up a briefing from the U.S. Embassy in Wuhan on his desk and waved: "Now every day Dozens of trains full of soldiers and ammunition went north along the Jinpu Line and Pinghan Line, and even Luo Yaoguo, the chief of the Chinese General Staff, went north to supervise the battle in person.”

"But the Japanese should know that they can't beat China. Only by helping Germany defeat us can Japan be saved." MacArthur argued.

Roosevelt sneered, with some sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "That's what you soldiers think, not the politicians who control the country. Even if the Emperor of Japan understands these principles, he has to put all his strength to North Korea. It’s like I have to defend Bermuda.” Speaking of this, Roosevelt glanced at the Chief of Naval Operations Leahy who was sitting next to him, and was about to ask how many planes the U.S. Navy could spare when the door of the office was knocked open.

"Mr. President, the Harry Hopkins delegation has sent a telegram." Colonel Carton handed a yellow telegram full of letters to the President.

Roosevelt put on his presbyopic glasses and took a closer look, with a look of hesitation on his face: "Harry Hopkins met China's Marshal Luo Yaoguo in Beiping, China... and the Russian Empress!" The president frowned slightly. , "Luo Yaoguo still insists that the future world should be jointly led by China, the United States, and Germany. He refused to join our side in fighting against Germany, but he agreed to sign an alliance treaty with the United States against Japan."

As he spoke, he glanced at the British Admiral Forbes with a gloomy expression. "The condition is that the United States and China issue a joint statement declaring that the United States does not take any position on Australia."

Hearing this condition, Admiral Forbes let out a sigh of relief. Right now, Free Britain is clinging to Australia's suzerainty. More than 760 square kilometers of rich continents were spit out.

Roosevelt took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, and continued: "In addition, he also gave us some data on China's atomic bomb test and the German P-35 missile, and Luo Yaoguo also revealed that the pilot who piloted the P-35 missile to fight against us They are all Japanese kamikaze players!"

"This group of lunatics!" There were several whispered curses in the office at the same time.Roosevelt shook his head, and continued: "The Communist International and the leader of the CCP, Zhou Enlai, made a very interesting proposal. He wanted to use the name of the CCP to recruit volunteers in China and come to America to help us fight. Mr. Hopkins thinks this It may cause a breakdown in Sino-German relations, and we suggest that we accept it and provide funds and equipment for it. What do you think?" Roosevelt put down the telegram, took off his reading glasses, and looked up at the crowd.

"I think it's okay," MacArthur was the first to speak in agreement. He took a puff of cigarette, thought for a while and said, "We don't lack ordinary infantry and artillery, but we can hire some personnel from the air force and armored forces. Ex-servicemen from the war against the Soviet Union and the campaign in Western Europe were hired."

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Marshall shook his head: "The Chinese have not demobilized their army on a large scale, and their armored forces and air force are still expanding. The Chinese Communist Party can't get much, at most it's just a gesture .So this suggestion is of little value, so don’t worry about it, lest you offend the Chinese Nationalist government.”

Marshall's worries are justified. If the United States provides funds to the Communist Party to dig people out of the Chinese National Defense Forces, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

"Sir Forbes, what do you think of this question?" Roosevelt saw that Forbes, the representative of Free Britain, seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked.

Forbes hesitated for a moment before replying: "Mr. President, it is always kind of the CCP to recruit volunteers to help us fight, and we should not refuse. But I think they can play a greater role in the world's anti-fascist war, such as in Africa. Or open up the second battlefield of the anti-fascist war in the Middle East."

"Africa and the Middle East?" Roosevelt tilted his head, thought for a while, and blinked his eyes with a smile: "This is a good way, since they are important members of the world's anti-fascist camp, of course they should play a greater role .”

……

Shuncheng Prince's Mansion in Beiping, which is currently the shared office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the headquarters of the Communist International, is also the residence of some leaders of the Communist Party of China and the Communist International.On the edge of the pond in the back garden of the palace, a beautifully decorated two-story Chinese-style small building has just been built recently. The small building faces south and faces a garden full of exotic flowers and plants. The pool is clear and the environment is very elegant.This is where Comrade Kruskaya, chairman of the Communist International, recuperated and worked. Although this great woman has already suffered from an incurable disease, the revolutionary leader who knows that her time is running out still takes her few remaining All his energies were devoted to the important work of guiding the world revolution.

This afternoon, several major leaders of the Communist International came to this small building. First, they asked the doctor who treated Kruskaya about the condition of the leaders. Lou reported the latest situation of the world revolution to the revolutionary leader who was ill.And Kruskaya, who was visibly thinner, was leaning on a soft sofa, listening quietly, her face seemed expressionless.After Zhou Enlai’s report was over, she tried to force a little smile and asked with difficulty: “Comrade Enlai, the main enemy of the world revolution is fascism, especially German fascism and Russian fascism, help the United States to defeat these two fascist countries This is the main mission of the Communist International at this stage."

Zhou Enlai nodded and replied: "Yes, we are now doing everything possible to urge China to join the world's anti-fascist camp. For this reason, the Communist International and the CCP have done everything they can."

Kruskaya smiled: "That's right. China is the only hope for the victory of the world's anti-fascist camp. As long as China joins the side of the world's righteous forces, the anti-fascist war can be won." Speaking of this, the revolutionary leader Suddenly coughed a few times, took a breath, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that my body would collapse just after the revolutionary cause turned around. It seems that the future world revolution can only rely on Chinese comrades." She pointed Bukharin and Zhukov, who were crying, sighed, and said to Zhou Enlai: "Comrade Bukharin is the author of "ABC of Communism", a famous theorist, and has a very profound research on Marxist economics. Zhukov is a rare military talent. I hope Comrade Enlai can make good use of them in the future, and I believe it will be beneficial to the cause of the world revolution and the CCP.”

This remark sounded a bit like asking for Gu, so Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong hurriedly nodded in agreement.Kruskaya nodded slightly, and said again: "Well, Mao Zedong, what do you think of the Americans' request to open up a second front? Is it possible for the Communist International Army to launch an attack on German and Russian fascists?"

Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong looked at each other, with embarrassed expressions on their faces at the same time.Zhou Enlai explained: "Comrade Kruskaya, now the Kuomintang's main energy has been attracted by Japan, and it has temporarily relaxed its attention to India, and they have sold us a large number of cannon fodder for 25 divisions at a 30% discount. We used these weapons and equipment to arm 65 divisions of the Comintern, and together with the original army, our regular army in India has reached [-] divisions! In terms of strength, it is almost close to Gandhi’s puppet army. So, our plan is to liberate all of India first, while the imperialists are busy with the world war."

"Oh," Kruskaya seemed a little surprised. She looked at Zhou Enlai suspiciously. Zhou Enlai hurriedly gave Zhukov a wink. Zhukov stepped forward and gave a military salute to Kruskaya, explaining: " Comrade Kruskaya, the proposal to deal with India first was discussed by the Military Committee of the Communist International. In fact, during this period of time, the Indian reactionaries were also preparing for a war to eliminate the revolutionary forces. The General Staff of the National Defense Forces has sent a large number of military advisers to India to help train and expand the army. At present, the Indian puppet army has made up for the losses in the previous period, and the total strength has recovered to more than 100 million! If we invest our troops in Africa at this time Or if the Middle East attacks Germany and Russian fascists, the Indian puppet army will take the opportunity to destroy us."

"So that's what happened." Kruskaya muttered in a low voice, with a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.In fact, her greatest ideal is to rebuild the Soviet Union, and to achieve this goal, the only hope is the defeat of German fascism, so that the Russian Romanov dynasty, which followed Germany's declaration of war on the United States, will naturally fall... But the CCP seems to have other plans.

"How should we explain it in the United States?" At this time, Bukharin asked again.

Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "In fact, the crusade against the Gandhi authorities is to open up a second battlefield. The Gandhi authorities pursue a pro-German and pro-Russian stance. Didn't they team up with the White Russian army to encircle and suppress the Soviet Red Army not long ago? Now we are going to send troops to open up the second battlefield." The Second World War also had to pass through their territory, so they naturally wouldn't allow it. Isn't that just standing on the side of fascism?

Of course, while fighting against the Indian fascist Gandhi, we will still send some comrades to Africa to mobilize the African people to resist the rule of German fascists and Italian fascists. "

"What about Persia and Russia?" Kruskaya looked at Zhou Enlai earnestly: "There are still our comrades in Russia, and Persia also has an underground organization of the Communist Party. If these forces are fully utilized, they will definitely shake the reactionary rule of that whore." !"

"This..." Hearing Kruskaya's suggestion, several people in the room looked at each other.Not to mention how much influence the Bolsheviks in Russia still have, just who owns this Beiping city, and they can't provoke the Russian empress right now!

Just when the few people didn't know what reason to use to prevaricate, the stairs of the small building were suddenly stomped.Then a tall Caucasian woman opened the door and walked in. It turned out to be Ibaluli, a member of the Executive Committee of the Communist International. The eyes of this Spanish revolutionist actually contained a few tears now!I don't know what happened?

"What's the matter?" Zhou Enlai asked.

Ibaruri suppressed her grief and said: "Comrade Stalin...he committed suicide!"

"What! Stalin committed suicide?"

There were a few gasping sounds from inside the room, several leaders of the world revolution jumped to their feet, and chairs were bumped violently.

"Comrade Ibaluri, what's going on?" Zhou Enlai's eyes turned red, and two lines of hot tears fell down.

But Yiba Luli looked at Zhou Enlai with complicated eyes, and said coldly: "Wang Ming and Comrade Khrushchev jointly sent an urgent call, saying that Comrade Stalin committed suicide by taking poison this morning. He carried a black handbag with Potassium cyanide was found, as well as his suicide note. In the suicide note, he said that he had failed Comrade Lenin’s expectations, failed the trust of the entire Soviet people, and brought immeasurable losses to the cause of world revolution, so he had no face ..."

"No more."

Kruskaya sighed in a low voice and interrupted Ibaruri: "The announcement is that Comrade Stalin died of illness due to overwork for the revolutionary cause. Bring his family to Peiping, and have a good time." Resettlement, let them live the lives of ordinary people and stop participating in politics.

Also, ask Wang Ming to transport Comrade Stalin's body to Peiping and store it together with Lenin's body (the body of the great mentor also traveled with the Soviet Red Army all the way, and was finally transported to the ice cellar of Shuncheng Prince's Mansion in Peking), and wait for me If you die, don’t bury them... Wait until the day when the Soviet Union is revived in the future, and then transport the remains of me, Lenin, Stalin and other Bolshevik leaders back to Moscow for burial. "

……

"Supplementary text, Stalin is dead."

When Luo Yaoguo heard the news, Luo Yaoguo was having dinner with the Russian Empress. Natalie hurried in from the outside and told them the astonishing news.
