There are three days to go, and Roosevelt's men are capable. A little tangled, thought of a safe way. Naturally, the core interests of the United States must not be sold out, because Americans have no habit of paying for others.
So a telegram was sent directly to Churchill to weigh the pros and cons. If the British feel that the help of the Americans is dispensable, they will continue to grasp the interests of the Middle East and fight against Germany. But if the British feel that they can't beat Germany on their own, they will honestly spit out the fat in the Middle East.
In fact, the U.S. approach is simple: give the British interests in the Middle East to the American Jews in exchange for the American Jewish forces to take Roosevelt's side. This method was completely in the interests of Americans, so it was passed smoothly in Roosevelt's circle.
The next day, Roosevelt met with Baumann again and told him all about the plan, even the good news that the British decision-makers decided to give up the interests of the Middle East in exchange for the full support of the United States.
"That's really good news." Bowman was obviously very satisfied with the result, and then he laughed: "well, since the British are so generous, we Americans can't be too stingy, can we? No matter what you propose in the congress tomorrow, Mr. President, we will not obstruct it any more. "
Sure enough, at the Congress meeting on February 10, the next day, Roosevelt submitted the aid to Britain bill again. Surprisingly, after being rejected three times in a row, this bill was passed by an overwhelming majority.
The real peak of U.S. aid to Britain began. On the first day of the passage of the bill, 20 U.S. transport ships joined the fleet bound for Britain. At this moment, Germany is still busy with several other things.
The house of the head of state, Berlin, Germany.
Akado is frowning with a spy report from the East. On the long table in front of him sat Augustus, brauchich, Kluger, the Polish "governor" who rushed back to Berlin from the eastern front, Liszt, commander of group D army of the eastern front army, and goodrian, the new group G army. Catherine of the air force and Randall of the Navy were also present. Even gascol, the head of the Intelligence Department of the national defense force, and Reinhart, the head of the Ss were present? Heidrich was among them. This may be one of the most important combat meetings of the German side after the invasion of France.
Recently, the Soviet Union deployed a large number of Red Army troops on the border between the Soviet Union and Germany, and the number of them has expanded to 2 million. At least 2000 tanks and armored vehicles were deployed in the Soviet occupied areas of Poland at the same time. Such a huge army could not hide from Germany, which had deployed a large number of spies in the Soviet Union.
And this time, it seems that Stalin and Khrushchev let the Red Army of the Soviet Union enter the border area in a high-profile manner. It seems that there are experts behind their backs to guide them. So this time, the action of the Soviet Union put Germany in a dilemma.
The large-scale operations on the western front have just ended, and the post-war reorganization work has not been completed. The German elite armored forces have been split and reorganized. In a short period of time, the combat capability of the German army is at a relatively low level.
The group a army, which has the most combat experience and the most brilliant record, has now turned into three groups. It is preparing to attack the British group a army, nearly 200000 infantry on the French border, and some elite armored grenadiers taken away by Rommel. At this moment, it is rushing to Austria to recuperate.
The famous 1st Armored army has returned to the east line, and goodrian is preparing to build his G group army. Although there are general Liszt's group D army, group e army and group F army on the east line of the United States, their combat capability seems to be a little lower than that of the two groups A and B on the west line.
The surrender of France left Germany free of a group C army, which was mainly infantry. Even if its combat capability is not high or low, it is not a short-term thing to transport 400000 troops to the east line.
If you want to talk about the whole eastern front, the most loyal to akkado is undoubtedly the Polish governor, Kluger, commander of the F group army. But if you want to talk about the more stable generals, it is Liszt.
Now the general is pointing to the map to introduce the situation of the east line to the head of state and everyone: "the current situation of the east line is: there are about 900000 people in the front of our army's D group army, the Soviet Red Army, who are deployed along the border areas, threatening our army's border security. In the north, general Kluger's F group army is under great pressure. The Soviet Red Army has about 700000 people. In the southern region, the Soviet Union was worried about Romania and deployed fewer troops, but it also reached 600000. "
"With a total force of more than 2.2 million, is the Soviet Union going to attack us?" Blauchich frowned and looked at the eastern defense deployment document in his hand: "the total strength of our army's three groups D, e and F is more than 1.4 million. If we include the three groups C, G and I, which are moving closer to the border area, it seems that we are not inferior in strength."
Looking at the map, Augustus said slowly, "like the United States, the Soviet Union is not a fool. They don't want a country to dominate Europe, which will bring crisis to their western borders. Their interests are now in line with those of the United States and the United Kingdom, so it's not surprising that this time we are being held back by the deployment of troops. "
"If we take into account the troops they are still moving towards the border, their total strength is more than 3 million, while our actual strength is about 2.7 million. If we take into account the air force and armored forces, it seems that we are still dominant." Liszt drew on the map with his pointer and said, "but once the two sides go to war, the data provided by the head of state shows that our army has no chance of winning in the process of attacking the Soviet Union. They will have a reserve of about 10 million regular troops. Our deduction shows that our army will be defeated near Minsk. "“ Defensive operations are different. If they attack our army first, there is no problem in defeating these Soviet soldiers. " Liszt said at last“ But once the war starts, at least 30% of my air force will be forced to move to the east line, and the continuous bombing and suppression of Britain may fail. " Katherine reports on arcado“ According to the information sent back by Canadian intelligence agencies, in Canada and Australia, Britain is building a production line of Hurricane fighters, and a new hurricane will join the British air battle in a month. " Gascol recently caught a cold and said in a hoarse voice“ Pay attention to rest. " While nodding, akado accepted gaskel's intelligence report and comforted him: "so we can't have a war with the Soviet Union now. Even if we want to fight, we have to wait until one month later!" That's why akado and Augustus wanted Japan to fight a war with the Soviets in Nomenkan regardless of the outcome. It was because the Soviets had been a little bit oppressed by Germany recently that akkado made such a bad move and offered the temptation to let the Japanese slap the Soviets in the Far East. In fact, there has been a long-standing dispute in Japan over whether to go north or south. The faction headed by the Japanese army believes that Japan's real rise depends on the Russo Japanese War, and the war fought on Chinese soil also convinced the Japanese that "the Russians are just like this". So this time, the army wants to go north to invade the Soviet Union and complete Japan's real rise in the far east. However, the Japanese Navy and the army have not always been on the same road. They insist that whatever the Japanese army advocates should be opposed to this glorious tradition. This plan includes invading China's coastal areas all the way to Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and other places, then invading the Philippines of the United States to obtain some oil producing areas in South Asia and challenging the interests of the United States in the Far East. Therefore, the bait offered by akado is not to be arrogant, but has a considerable domestic market in Japan. When the army heard that Germany, an ally far away in Europe, also wanted Japan to go north, it immediately tried its best to get the Japanese base camp to agree to the plan of going north to attack the Soviet Union, and mobilized the huge forces of seven divisions for the plan. The current state of the world is very delicate: the Germans are fighting against Britain with all their strength, the Soviets want to hold back the Germans, while the Japanese want to stab the Soviets in the back, while the Americans are worried about Japan's gaining power in China, while trying to suppress Germany's rise in Europe - no major country in the world can stay out of the way“ The key now is to see when the Japanese promised to start the battle of Nomenkan! " Looking at the map of the Far East, Augustus said, "they'll play one day earlier, which will relieve the pressure of one day for us."“ That is to say, we all know that Japan seems to have a very slim chance of winning this time. " Akado stood up and said, "but the United States is likely to reach an agreement with the Jews at home in the near future to participate in the war between us and Britain." He went to the front of the map, looked at his men, and pointed to the area on the map: "so now our focus is still on the west, and general lundstedt's landing plan is still the top priority! On the contrary, we have to put on a defensive posture in the eastern front, so that the Soviets do not dare to attack easily! "“ Yes All the generals stood at attention and answered loudly“ Augustus, please tell Merkel to urge Japan to start the battle of Nomenkan as soon as possible! We are waiting for the news of the victory of Japan's allies in the Far East! " Akkado seemed to think of something funny, with a smile on his face: "after this time, Japan will not have much interest with us."
