Admiral Lexi hesitated for a moment, but nodded in pain.Although the American and British fleets around Bermuda still have certain strength, the sudden appearance of this suicide aircraft is too powerful!The U.S. and British navies were simply helpless with them, so Admiral Ernest King had ordered Task Forces 30 and [-] to retreat [-] minutes earlier.This led to the desperation of the [-] U.S. Army stationed on Bermuda. The fall of this extremely important archipelago is a matter of time.

"Colonel Carton." Roosevelt immediately picked up the handset of an antique telephone on the desk and dialed the number of his adjutant. "Admiral Marshall, General Arnold, Hopkins, Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of War Stimson, and British (Canada) General Forbes, please come to the White House immediately." Putting down the phone, Roosevelt looked at General Leahy again , Asked: "Can Bermuda be kept? I don't think anyone wants German bombers to drop bombs in New York every night, right?"

Obviously, President Roosevelt still hoped to keep Bermuda, the gateway to the east coast of the United States.However, Admiral Leahy was in a dilemma. The U.S. Navy was really unable to go to sea to pass the decisive battle of the German Navy. The qualifications to hide in the port as a fleet are gone.

"Mr. President," Admiral Leahy sighed and shook his head: "There is no other way. We can't keep Bermuda. The navy can't go to war until it finds a way to deal with this kind of suicide aircraft. Without the assistance of the navy, There is definitely no way to keep the Bermuda Islands. Therefore, we'd better find a way to withdraw the army there..." Speaking of this, Lexi couldn't help but sighed again.Without the help of the navy, how could the [-] troops on those islands return to the mainland of the United States?

"Abandon Bermuda?" Roosevelt was taken aback for a moment, and then he waved his big hand: "No, we can't give up Bermuda, which is the gateway to the United States. Once we give up, we may lose this war! Admiral Leahy, I assume you've heard of the Manhattan Project? I don't want to see that super bomb go off in New York someday! I think you understand what that means?"

"I understand, Mr. President." Admiral Leahy shook his head helplessly, "But the navy does not have the power to seize control of the waters around Bermuda, and the [-] army there can only fight alone, and there is no logistics. Next. So we can't keep Bermuda."

Roosevelt shook his head and said firmly: "Bermuda must be kept! At all costs! If the Navy cannot provide logistical support for the US troops there, then I will order the Army Aviation to supply them by air."

Admiral Lexi shook his head secretly, and just about to continue to persuade, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.Then the door of the office was pushed open, and Admiral Marshall and Admiral Arnold walked in.The two of them learned of the tragic experience of the First Task Force through the Army's liaison officer stationed in Norfolk half an hour ago, so they immediately came to the White House.

"Please sit down." Roosevelt looked slightly better when he saw the two army generals. Compared with the US Navy, which has been defeated repeatedly, the army's record is still passable. "I think you've already heard about the results of the Bermuda naval battle?" Roosevelt glanced at Marshall and Arnold. Both of them had depressed expressions on their faces. It seemed that they were worrying about the [-] U.S. Army in Bermuda.Roosevelt sighed, and continued: "Admiral Leahy just told me that the U.S. Navy has no power to help defend Bermuda. Now, the fate of the United States can only be pinned on the Army. Am I disappointed?"

Marshall and Arnold looked at each other, and Arnold replied: "Mr. President, Admiral Marshall and I have exchanged views on the way to the White House. We believe that the Army Air Force does have the ability to use airdrops to protect the supplies of the defenders in Bermuda. At the same time, we can send out enough bombers and fighters to provide air support for the army there."

After hearing Arnold's answer, Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief. The U.S. Army Aviation Corps is probably the fastest-growing arm of the U.S. Army this year. It now has thousands of fighter jets and bombers, and its strength is almost as strong as that of China and Germany. The Air Force is on par!Moreover, the U.S. Army Aviation also has several types of fighter jets and bombers with large ranges, such as B-17, B-24, P-38, etc. If coupled with the Navy's F4U, it can indeed fight the German Navy near Bermuda. .

"Well, now the army is in charge of the defense of Bermuda. I ask you to do your best to defend Bermuda. By the way, General Marshall, do you have a suitable commander-in-chief that you can recommend?"

"I think Major General Eisenhower can be in charge of the operations in Bermuda." Marshall looked at Arnold again, and Arnold said, "Major General Chennault can be in charge of commanding the Army Air Corps on the east coast to reinforce Bermuda. He is a very good man." An air force commander, he must be qualified for this job."

At this time, the office door was pushed open again.In came Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of Commerce Hopkins, Secretary of War Stimson, British Admiral Forbes and others.After Roosevelt greeted them to sit down, he informed them of the Bermuda naval battle, and then asked for their opinions.

"Mr. President, I agree with Admiral Leahy." British Admiral Forbes also received the battle report of the Bermuda Battle early in the morning.Therefore, he was not stunned like Hull, Hopkins and Stimson around him.He sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "Until we find a way to deal with this kind of suicide aircraft, the naval fleet can only stand by in a port that is tightly protected by anti-aircraft firepower. In addition, I have an immature idea, Maybe we can develop the same suicide weapon! We can also build a small jet like the Germans, and as for the pilot..."

"No, no, no citizen of any civilized country would do such a stupid thing." Roosevelt shook his head like a rattle, "Besides, the governments of our two countries cannot openly recruit gods like the Japanese and German fascists." Wind Crew."

"Mr. President, I think we can discuss it with the Chinese. They may have a way to deal with this kind of suicide aircraft." Harry Hopkins pondered for a while and made a suggestion. "And we should try to sign a treaty of alliance with the Chinese against Japan."

"Sign an alliance treaty?" Roosevelt took out a cigar from the desk drawer, lit it and took a few puffs, his eyebrows frowned slightly.Although China and the United States are at war with Japan at the same time, they have not signed any treaty of an alliance nature.He looked at Secretary of State Hull and asked, "What do you think? Will the Chinese agree to form an alliance with us?"

He frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, "Mr. President, I can't guess what the Chinese are thinking. After all, an alliance against Japan is also an alliance, but we should try it." He glanced at the British Admiral Forbes next to him.

Roosevelt understood what Hull meant. China and the United States are now at war with Japan at the same time, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being. Of course, an alliance is possible.However, the relationship between China and Britain (Canada) is much more complicated. The British government in exile in Canada does not recognize the "Roman Peace Treaty", and it is even more impossible to cede the whole of Australia to China... Therefore, the relationship between China and Britain (Canada) is theoretically still in a state of war.

Roosevelt thought for a while, then slowly said to Hull: "Codell, you go to Ottawa in person, meet with Prime Minister Churchill, and discuss with him the possibility of a Sino-US alliance."

Hearing this, British Admiral Forbes raised his eyebrows slightly. What Roosevelt said was the "China-US alliance" rather than the "Sino-US-UK alliance." Obviously, the US president just wanted Churchill to acquiesce in the China-US alliance.

"Harry," Roosevelt said to Hopkins again, "Go to China and the Far East Republic yourself, meet with Chinese President Luo Yiqun, Chief of General Staff Luo Yaoguo, and Far East Republic President Zhang Guotao, and test their tone." He paused Next, he said again: "By the way, Ms. Kruskaya, the chairman of the Communist International, seems to be seriously ill recently. Harry, you should go to Peiping by the way and visit this great woman."

……

"The German News Agency reported that on October 10, the combined fleet of the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy severely damaged the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet (Germany does not recognize the British government in exile in Canada) and sank four ships A large aircraft carrier, three heavy cruisers, five light cruisers... The spokesman of the German Navy stated that the German Navy used a secret weapon-missiles for the first time in this battle, and achieved great results, completely seized the command of the Atlantic Ocean, conquered Bermuda is just around the corner!"

"The German Volkswatcher reported that today the German-Italian joint fleet dispatched twelve battleships to bombard the U.S. troops defending Bermuda, completely destroying five U.S. coastal forts. At the same time, minesweepers were also dispatched to clear the channel, and a large-scale landing operation is expected It will be launched within a few days."

"According to the Dome News Agency (Japan's official news agency) in Berlin, Mr. Adolf Hitler, the Head of State of the Third Reich of Germany, said in a meeting with Mr. Matsuoka Yosuke, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Japanese Empire, that Germany will put pressure on China (Hitler said influence) , in order to urge China to stop its aggression against China (Japan) and return to the correct path of Sino-Japanese friendship. During this meeting, Mr. Hitler also agreed to transfer to China the production technology of the secret weapon-P-35 missile. According to people familiar with the navy, once China has mastered the P-35 missile technology, it will be able to seize command of the Pacific Ocean in the shortest possible time, completely block the sea lines of communication outside the Chinese mainland, and hopefully force the Chinese authorities to seek peace with China.”

"The Tongmeng News Agency's Korean news, our invincible Japanese imperial army defeated the Chinese invading army's attack on our Yalu River defense line again yesterday. In this battle, the imperial army killed and injured more than 5000 Chinese officers and soldiers, captured 263 people, and destroyed 103 tanks..."

With a click, Hidesuke Yamamoto turned off the radio, turned his head to look at the Minister of War Nagata Tieshan who came to visit him, and smiled slightly: "Nagata-kun, what do you think of the goodwill of the Germans?"

Eisuke Yamamoto was sent home by Emperor Hirohito to take care of his grandson because the Japanese Navy's ... victory was not brilliant enough. He should have thought about it behind closed doors, but the one who visited today was Nagata Tieshan, the leader of the army control faction. Big shots, of course, are another matter.

Wearing a kimono, Nagata Tieshan sat cross-legged on the tatami, but held a coffee cup in his hand. After asking, he first took a sip of "wartime coffee", then smiled, and said, "Hitler now finds Kamikaze The value of the special attack team, if it weren't for our dead soldiers, his P-35 missiles would be a pile of scrap metal."

Yosuke Matsuoka had originally secretly boarded a plane sent by Russia to Moscow to meet Anastasinia, to beg this "mother fox" to mediate the Sino-Japanese war, and see if he could sign a treaty that humiliated the country and humiliated the country. A lost war is resolved.But within two days of his arrival in Petersburg, news of the Bermuda sea battle spread, and then he received an invitation from Hitler (of course the Germans knew he was in Petersburg).

This time, Hitler showed great enthusiasm for his Japanese allies. He not only arranged a grand welcome ceremony for Matsuoka, but also sent Rudolf Hess, the number three figure in Nazi Germany, to greet him at the airport in person.In the subsequent talks, the German side proposed that Japan send another 3000 kamikaze players to Germany for training.In return, Hitler not only agreed to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war, but also promised to transfer P-35 missile technology to Japan, and could also provide 1000 finished P-35 missiles and 10 steam catapults to Japan, but he refused to provide them again. High concentration of uranium-235.

Eisuke Yamamoto sat across from Nagata and grinned: "According to the report sent back by Kengoro, this kind of P-35 missile is almost an invincible weapon in naval battles as long as it is driven by a kamikaze team! If there are 1000 of them, The Chinese fleet is probably going to be turned into a pile of scrap metal."

Nagata Tetsuyama nodded with a smile, and Eisuke Yamamoto went on to say: "But Kengoro also reminded us in the report that the cost of training P-35 missile pilots is very high and it takes a long time. It takes a lot of fuel and It takes a few months to train qualified missile pilots, unless..." He paused slightly before continuing: "Unless kamikaze pilots are mobilized from the active army and navy pilots, so that the training time can be shortened One to two months. In addition, Kengoro also suggested using heavy-duty bombers to carry P-35 missiles, which can avoid unnecessary losses during launch and increase the combat distance of such missiles.”

Nagata Tieshan smiled, drank the coffee in the cup, and said with a smile: "Yamamoto-kun, in fact, I am here today for my son-in-law. I want to transfer him back to Japan, and gather the strength of the army and navy to form a A missile special attack force, with Kanfu Kengoro as the commander. What do you think?"

Chapter 0938 opens the door of the United States (seven) borrowing a knife

"Harry, Cordell, George . . . what do you think?"

President Roosevelt was sitting behind his desk, with his head tilted, and the corners of his bloodshot eyes seemed to be closed, and he was looking at the documents in his hand.There is a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the table, exuding a tempting aroma.

There was silence in the President's Oval Office, and it was Harry Hopkins who broke the silence after a long while: "President, this matter must be beneficial to the United States. The Germans provided this powerful secret weapon to China, and it was clear It is to support the Japanese to fight against China. In this way, China must be pushed to the side of the United States. If we use more force this time, we may be able to pull China to the side of the United States.”

Roosevelt suddenly looked up at Harry Hopkins, frowned and asked, "Harry, do you really think Hitler would make such a low-level mistake?"

Harry Hopkins was startled when he asked, frowning and not speaking.Roosevelt said coldly: "Hitler is probably just beating China, and will not really provide that damned missile to Japan... If he really dared to do that, how could Luo Yaoguo let it go? Maybe he will provide the atomic bomb to the United States."

Hearing the word atomic bomb, Army Chief of Staff General Marshall raised his eyebrows lightly: "President, do you think the Chinese really have this kind of weapon? Then why didn't they use it in the war against Japan? Wouldn't it be Could it be that the power of this atomic bomb is not as great as imagined? Or..."

Roosevelt shook his head and interrupted Marshall: "I don't understand, I really don't understand what Hitler is thinking." He turned his eyes to Hull. The United States wanted to form an alliance with "Fascist China", and immediately turned its face, almost jumped up and bit people.As soon as he returned to Washington, before he had time to rest for a while, he was called by the White House, and his spirit was also very depressed.He met Roosevelt's eyes and sighed softly: "President, the key now is not what Hitler thinks, but what Luo Yaoguo thinks. Now we don't know his real thoughts, but one thing is for sure, he doesn't want the United States to To be wiped out by Germany will break the balance of power between China and Germany... But it is definitely more in line with his heart to lose both the United States and Germany. Therefore, he is likely to be indifferent to Hitler's aid to Japan. Perhaps this is why Hitler dared to use the P-35 missile The reason provided to Japan."

"This missile is not going to be effective anytime soon," Admiral Marshall interrupted suddenly. "The Army Aviation guys have studied this missile, and they think it's easy to produce, and we can do it too. But use it." The difficulty is not low, mainly because the recruitment and training of missile pilots is very difficult. Although Japan has no shortage of lunatics, it will take at least several months for these lunatics to learn to fly missiles. By then, the Chinese may have already set foot on the Japanese mainland. "

Roosevelt nodded, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said to Harry Hopkins: "Harry, no matter what purpose Hitler provided missiles to Japan, the benefits to us always outweigh the disadvantages, to you My trip to China will certainly be beneficial."

Hopkins thought for a while and nodded slightly: "President, if China agrees to form an alliance with the United States, should we ask China for military assistance?"

What Harry Hopkins meant by military aid was the atomic bomb!The U.S. intelligence agencies have now basically confirmed that China has an atomic bomb. Although the Manhattan Project in the U.S. is also being stepped up, it will take at least a few months before an atomic bomb that can be used in actual combat can be produced... But by that time, Germany will also Most likely will have the atomic bomb!This is why Roosevelt values ​​Bermuda so much, from where German heavy bombers can take off to cover the entire eastern United States!

"Of course I have to raise it. Even if there is little hope, I have to try it." Roosevelt's tone was slow, as if he was thinking about something: "Let's discuss with them how to defend against missiles. The Chinese may have participated in the P- 35 missile development and manufacturing. In addition, you'd better meet with the leaders of the Comintern before meeting with Luo Yaoguo."

Hopkins was taken aback when he heard the words. He looked at Roosevelt puzzled, waiting for the president's explanation.Roosevelt looked at the lawn outside the window, and after a while, he continued: "The CCP and Luo Yaoguo have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, so naturally they understand Luo Yaoguo and others' thoughts very well. If you can get the CCP's guidance, your trip will be successful. The probability will be greatly increased. In addition, Germany may not be the eternal enemy of the United States... The Chinese Nationalist Party will not be eternal friends. In fact, they have always been Hitler's allies, and there is no essential difference from Hitler. On the contrary, the CCP It is the real democratic force in China, at least that's what their "Red Star" said." At this point, President Roosevelt winked at Hopkins.

Hopkins understood what Roosevelt meant. In fact, he himself had a good impression of the Communist Party and the socialist system. At the same time, he also hated the Luo Yao Guo Party’s open pursuit of external expansion and colonialism. However, the United States is now in a difficult situation and cannot openly intervene in China. China's internal affairs, at least until the victory over Germany, can't do that.

At this time, Colonel Carton, the adjutant to the President, opened the door and walked in. He handed a telegram to Roosevelt. Roosevelt looked at it and laughed: "The Chinese have just issued a statement that their submarines will completely blockade the Japanese archipelago and prohibit any It seems that they are still very concerned about Hitler’s supply of missiles to Japan.”

Although Chinese submarines have already started to blockade the Japanese archipelago, they have always turned a blind eye to the German ships flying the swastika flag. Today's statement is obviously aimed at Germany, and it can be seen as a response to Hitler's supply of missiles. Japan's response.

"Harry, you should leave for China immediately." Roosevelt put down the telegram in his hand, thought for a while and said, "After meeting the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Zhou Enlai, tell him that the United States of America will not recognize the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic."

……

When the first ray of sunlight shone on Luo Yaoguo on November 1939, 11, he opened his sleepy eyes, yawned and sat up from the bed, and saw the Russian Empress lying beside her, her charming pair Her big eyes are still tightly closed, only a thin blanket is wrapped around her naked delicate body, and the pair of towering jade peaks are looming under the blanket, gently rising and falling with her breathing...

This time Anastasinia's arrival surprised Luo Yaoguo. In fact, she came uninvited and did not say hello. Last night, she suddenly appeared in Prince Gong's Mansion of Peking where Luo Yaoguo was staying.Moreover, the purpose of her coming to Peiping also surprised Luo Yaoguo, the empress was actually a lobbyist for the German head of state, and she came to explain to Luo Yaoguo why Germany provided P-35 missiles to Japan!Our empress is really a master of "using the barbarians to control the barbarians", dealing with the two great powers of the East and the West, she really looks like she can do a job with ease.

"Fuwen," the Queen's eyes suddenly opened, she blinked at Luo Yaoguo, and smiled sweetly, "Are you still angry with me? I told you, I really didn't know that Hitler would meet with Matsuoka. I really have no malice in bringing Matsuoka to Petersburg." She sighed leisurely, "Otherwise I wouldn't have come to China to see you."

"I understand," Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly, raised his hand to caress the empress's well-maintained and very smooth skin. "Of course I know it was an accident, and I will never be angry with you, because you are my woman!" But Luo Yaoguo was cursing inwardly at this moment: "Damn bitch, I really thought that I would take it for you!" Is there nothing you can do? Uh, it seems that there is really no way... You can’t pull her off the throne, can you? She’s definitely not as good as her in that way!”

"You're right." The queen also sat up from the bed, leaned her naked body against Luo Yaoguo, and said with a faint smile, "I am yours. If you want, I can marry you and make you a Tsar of Russia."
