Age of Conquest Reborn

President Franklin Roosevelt was awakened from his deep sleep by his secretary on duty. This political strongman in his forties contracted polio inexplicably and had to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He had to work hard for the future of the United States and

Destiny, painstaking efforts, and strategizing.

Ever since he lost the ability to move independently, Mr. President's sleep situation has been extremely bad. Night is a painful torture for him. He cannot fall asleep without taking sleeping pills.

When he arrived in the living room with his wheelchair, Roosevelt's head was still groggy and the effects of the sleeping pills were still taking effect. To be honest, he was extremely disgusted by this late-night call. He could sleep peacefully for several hours in one night.

For Mr. President, these hours are the greatest happiness. Now, the happiness that was finally obtained has been rudely interrupted. To be fair, whoever is awakened from a sweet sleep is unlikely to be in a good mood.

Roosevelt suppressed the irritability and unhappiness in his heart and picked up the phone. "I'm Roosevelt, who are you? Do you have any urgent business?" Mr. President's tone was full of impatience.

The caller was General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "Mr. President, this is Jeff Field. I have some unfortunate news to report to you. The Operations Watch Room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has just received a call from the Pacific Fleet.

An urgent telegram from Commander Vice Admiral Nimitz. Just an hour ago, the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet!"

Admiral Jefferfield's tone was full of anxiety and horror that could not be concealed, "What?" Roosevelt exclaimed, his heart was shocked, and his haggard face instantly became bloodless, and the phone

The receiver suddenly slipped from his hand, and the president's brain instantly became blank, and his thinking stopped. He was completely in a wheelchair.

On the other end of the phone, General Jeff Field, not knowing what was going on, shouted loudly: "Mr. President. Mr. President! Are you listening?"

The secretary was right next to Roosevelt, ready to receive instructions at any time. For some reason, the president's face turned as ugly as death. He picked up the phone and handed it to Roosevelt. "Mr. President, your phone number!"

Roosevelt suddenly shuddered, his separated souls returned to their places, woke up from the petrified state, grabbed the phone, and almost shouted, "Jeffrey, what is the specific situation at Pearl Harbor? Pacific Ocean?

What are the fleet's losses? What are the conditions of the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions massed in Hawaii? I want to know them all!"

A barrage of questions was thrown at Admiral Jefferfield. The poor Admiral didn't know much more than the others. A telegram came from Nimitz, and the content was so simple that it said, "

At 5:30 in the morning today, the Pearl Harbor base was suddenly attacked by the Japanese navy. The harbor was ablaze, and all the warships of the Pacific Fleet were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese navy!"

Regarding these circumstances, the Operations Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff sent several telegrams to Nimitz to inquire about the specific situation. However, they never received a reply. These questions asked by the President are also what Admiral Jefferfield urgently needs to know.

"Unfortunately, Mr. President, the situation at Pearl Harbor is unknown. The Operations Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is working hard to communicate with the Pacific Fleet. I will report to you as soon as there is the latest situation!"

Roosevelt suddenly became furious without grace and shouted: "What? The situation is unknown! What do you do in the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Didn't the Japanese get any information before they launched a despicable sneak attack? Also,

ISI and OSS, what are they doing?"

Admiral Jefferfield, I understand the mood of your Excellency the President. Hawaii, as the first batch of troops to reinforce the South Pacific battlefield, and the Pacific Fleet, as the core force to strengthen the defense of the Luzon Island campaign, were already ready, but they were suddenly attacked.

Admiral Jefferfield could have imagined the attack without Nimitz's report. Hawaii, which had no defense at all, would become a slaughterhouse for the Japanese to massacre American soldiers and warships!

Facing the President's rage, General Jefferfield explained without confidence: "Mr. President, six hours ago, our Embassy in the Republic of China received a notification from the Chinese government's intelligence department. The content of the notification was

We are reminded to pay attention to the Japanese naval task force's upcoming sneak attack on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base."

Upon hearing this, Roosevelt asked angrily: "What measures have we taken?" In his opinion, the Japanese had received the warning six hours before the despicable sneak attack, and the Pacific Fleet had time to take it easy.

Arrangement, then why he was attacked again, he didn't understand!

Measures? Admiral Jefferfield smiled bitterly and replied bitterly: "Mr. President, the embassy immediately transferred the Chinese intelligence to the Naval Strategic Intelligence Service, but the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Strategic Intelligence Service

, did not believe the Chinese reminder at all and thought it was nonsense. The naval observation posts all over the eastern Pacific islands did not detect the movements of the Japanese naval fleet."

"So, the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Office of Strategic Services classified this intelligence as the most worthless E-level intelligence and shelved it on the shelf without reporting it to the Department of the Navy or the Joint Chiefs of Staff Operations Department. The tragedy happened. Mr. President,

This is the process I just investigated!”

President Roosevelt almost fainted with anger. What kind of idiots are there in the U.S. Navy? This is intelligence of a strategic nature. Based on the principles of intelligence processing, it is better to believe what is there than what is not. Furthermore,

In the South Pacific, the U.S. military and the Japanese soldiers were fighting to a bloody battle. How could it be impossible for the Japanese navy to sneak attack the Pacific Fleet?

Roosevelt suppressed a mouthful of blood from his throat, and said with murderous intent in his tone: "Jeffrey, as the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces, I issue the following order. The Military Advocate General's Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will immediately send personnel to the Navy.

The Strategic Intelligence Service, which distributes intelligence

All naval officers in the analysis center will be immediately detained on charges of dereliction of duty and screened one by one. I suspect that there are Japanese spies lurking among them. Regardless of whether there is conclusive evidence or not, as long as there is any doubt, we will deal with it severely! Tell the military judges that I will kill people.

of 1”

Admiral Jefferfield suddenly shuddered, and a chill came from the bottom of his heart. The President had already made murderous intentions. Someone in the Office of Strategic Services was going to be in trouble. No matter whether there were Japanese spies or not, the President would use it.

Several human heads were sacrificed to the flag to show determination to fight against Japan.

Roosevelt continued: "Convey my order. All military department heads will go to the White House for a meeting in four hours to study the countermeasures for Pearl Harbor. During the meeting, I must know the specific situation of Pearl Harbor. Otherwise, there will be many positions."

Substitute, you should understand what I mean!"

Admiral Jefferfield certainly understood that if he could not provide information on the situation on the battlefield at the meeting in four hours, the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be the first to be replaced, which would mean that he would leave American power in despair.

The beginning of the center.

After putting down the phone, Roosevelt sat motionless in his wheelchair, looking through the thick curtains at the sunshine filtering in from the window. In Washington in June, the climate was pleasant, the sun was rising, and thousands of rays of rays warmed the earth, but Roosevelt

My heart is as cold as winter.

He didn't feel sleepy at all, his thoughts were flying around in confusion, and he couldn't concentrate at all. The secretary walked quietly to the floor-to-ceiling window to open the curtains. Roosevelt waved silently, and the secretary quietly exited the huge room.

, he was the only one left, and it seemed increasingly empty and deserted.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor dealt a much greater blow than the Japanese attack on the South Pacific islands. The location of Hawaii is too close to the west coast of the United States. If the Japanese use this as an advance base, the land-based aircraft will

The combat radius covers almost all important cities on the west coast of the United States. If Hawaii falls into the hands of the Japanese, it will be like putting a gun to the forehead of the Americans!

When Japanese planes dropped deadly bombs over cities in the United States, Americans, who had not experienced the baptism of war for many years, did not drop a single bomb on their homeland during World War I. Facing the Japanese planes,

What will be the reaction?

Also, the United States, which is accustomed to fighting at other people's doorsteps, was now being attacked by the Japanese at its doorstep. Whether it was panic or excitement, Roosevelt could not accurately determine which reaction it was. Fighting at home and fighting overseas were completely different.

two concepts of.

Just after he passed the national mobilization order in Congress, members of both houses of Congress were very determined to fight against the Japanese. However, the response from the people chilled President Roosevelt. The opinion polls in major newspapers were almost 100%.

More than ninety of the survey respondents are opposed to this war far away from the United States. Can such a bad national psychology resist the Japanese attack?

Roosevelt just like this, closed himself behind the thick curtains, thinking exhaustively about various outcomes. He was very stressed about the war that the United States had to fight. Moreover, the war in Europe was not going well either. He was defeated.

For the Germans, the end of the war is far away, and the losses of the US military have greatly exceeded original expectations.

Now, the Japanese are at home again, and the United States has to embark on the road of fighting two large-scale wars at the same time. No matter how strong the national power is, it is difficult to support such consumption for a long time. Roosevelt even had a strange feeling that the United States

The country's national power is weakening little by little, just like its own energy is slowly being lost.

At around eight o'clock in the morning on June 6, Tang Qiuli, who had had a good sleep, came to the division headquarters in high spirits. As soon as he entered the office, Yu Deshui and Bai Luoyu, who looked tired, were already waiting here.
