Age of Conquest Reborn

Two days later, President Roosevelt delivered a famous speech in the U.S. Congress in front of nearly a thousand members of the House and Senate. At the beginning of his speech, he said: "On April 25, 1941,

The peaceful, quiet and beautiful east coast of the United States suffered an unprecedented bombing by the Japanese. The Japanese imposed war on the American people. This day is a sad day for all the American people..."

Roosevelt's speech lasted for more than an hour. It is difficult to imagine that given his physical condition and full mental state, he could speak for such a long time without stopping. Roosevelt used his infectious eloquence and personal

Charm, convinced all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, and the wartime bill was successfully passed.

Also passed together were the military and economic mutual assistance agreement that was about to be signed with the Mexican government, as well as several other temporary bills. The smoothness of it made Roosevelt, who was preparing for a hard fight, stunned in disbelief. Of course, the most important of them was,

There were also many factors including the Japanese bombing of the east coast of the United States, the five divisions of German troops, and the pressure approaching the Mexican border.

Because in his speech, President Roosevelt described a terrible scene for the U.S. congressmen. It was not so much Roosevelt who moved the congressmen, but rather the interest groups behind them. For the sake of their own interests, regardless of

Whether they are Germans or Japanese, when they set foot on the American soil, these interest groups are going bankrupt. No one is willing to give up their vested interests, so all they need is a war!

The U.S. wartime act was passed, and without any constraints, Roosevelt began vigorous and resolute actions. Orders were issued from the White House, and temporary laws and regulations were quickly issued. The entire United States began a general mobilization for war. The United States. This huge war

The machine shook off the rust on its parts and began to run heavily and slowly.

Of course, for the current United States, the situation is still very dangerous. The Japanese threat to the east coast and the German threat to the southern border are like two sharp knives hanging over the heads of the Americans, and the outcome is unpredictable.

The Australian Allied Forces retreated. The imminent danger is that the Japanese will launch a large-scale air attack on the east coast at any time, or even the Japanese Army landing on the United States!

President Roosevelt's worries about the Japanese were not unreasonable. General Yamamoto, who commanded the combined fleet to withdraw outside the combat radius of the U.S. land-based aviation force, learned that five divisions of German troops had approached the southern border of Mexico.

After receiving the intelligence, he was ecstatic. He realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet.

This action by the Germans can be regarded as a tacit cooperation. It will inevitably attract all the domestic defense forces of the United States to the southern region of the United States. Then, the defense of the Americans on the east coast is still extremely empty, and it is impossible to quickly recover from the last attack.

After recovery, at least in a short period of time, the Americans will not be able to establish a complete defense system on the east coast, especially air defense forces.

A huge fighter plane was placed before the Empire of Japan as never before. It used air strikes and bombings to severely damage the defense system on the east coast of the United States. It damaged the hearts and morale of its people. General Yamamoto was so excited that he trembled all over.

Accordingly, General Yamamoto exerted all his military talents and formulated a larger-scale bombing plan targeting the east coast of the United States. The existing land and sea aviation forces of the Imperial North American Combat Command were mainly used to target the east coast of the United States.

In the area, intensive bombing was carried out for three consecutive days, blowing all targets into rubble. Then, the bombing range was expanded to the depth of the US territory.

Select cities in the middle of the United States, including Phoenix, Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, Denver, Bismarck and other important cities, to carry out bombings of the same scale. Admiral Yamamoto's boldest plan is to have the Imperial Navy's combined fleet approach Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.

Coastal cities on the east coast of the United States, covering at least three divisions of marines, landed on the east coast of the United States to conduct a tentative attack on the mainland of the United States.

General Yamamoto's combat plan was actually a rehearsal before the Japanese army's large-scale landing in the United States. It included the intention of testing the Americans' ability and will to resist. The deeper intention was to establish several military units on the east coast of the United States.

This is a bridgehead for attacking deep into the United States. The huge combined fleet is in the nearby waters. Once the Americans make a crazy counterattack and lose their footing, they can cover the retreat of the Marine Corps at any time.

After staying up all night, Admiral Yamamoto finally completed his ambitious campaign plan and quickly reported it to Emperor Hirohito and the base camp using an urgent top-secret telegram. During this period, the combined fleet was not idle, dispatching large batches of ships every day.

Carrying combat aircraft, he carried out large-scale bombings on the east coast of the United States. As if entering uninhabited territory, the returning group of aircraft almost suffered no losses. The situation they brought back was in line with his judgment. The Americans' air defense on the east coast

, almost blank!

After Admiral Yamamoto, Commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, reported the battle plan, he anxiously awaited His Majesty the Emperor's imperial approval. As for the opinions of the base camp, he was secondary. What he valued was His Majesty the Emperor's decree.

However, he did not wait for Emperor Hirohito's approval and issued a combat order to all the troops under the North American Combat Command, including the two armies of the Army. The Japanese troops in the Hawaiian Islands began to prepare for General Yamamoto's plan.

Get busy.

What General Yamamoto didn't know was that the current Emperor Hirohito was in the midst of a difficult decision. The cause was the sealed telegram from the German head of state. With the cooperation of the Germans, it was of course the best thing to invade the United States in one fell swoop.

The only competitor and enemy of the Japanese Empire in the Pacific is the United States, which has a profound foundation. For supremacy in the Pacific, Japan and the United States must have a deadly battle!

The war cannot be avoided, and what particularly moved Emperor Hirohito was that Hitler also uncharacteristically promised to provide the Imperial Army with a full set of German equipment. From the bottom of his heart, even though he was unwilling to admit it, in Emperor Hirohito's view, the Germans were

Weapons and equipment are superior to those of the Empire of Japan. It’s hard not to be convinced. How else can we say that Hitler is rich and powerful!

What moved Hirohito most was what Hitler said in the telegram, "Germany will continue to send more troops to the South American continent. Maintaining Germany's military advantage in the Americas is Germany's established national policy. There is no doubt about this!"

"

Hitler's words were interpreted by Emperor Hirohito as, "The Germans are going to attack the United States. It is more likely that the Imperial North American Combat Command's bombing of the east coast of the United States has allowed the Germans to see the weak nature of the Americans."

!”

Germany and Japan joined forces to destroy the United States and carve up the North American continent. This was the conclusion reached by Emperor Hirohito.

Emperor Hirohito was very excited about this conclusion. Since the emergence of the imperial nemesis, the China Devil Tang Qiuli, which led to the defeat of the empire in the war against China, the strategic focus of the Japanese Empire was forced to shift to the Pacific region to kill the United States.

Dominating the Pacific Ocean is his biggest wish. Now, the opportunity to realize his wish has come.

However, after calming down, the ruthless reality still poured cold water on Hirohito. That is, the empire did not have enough troops. Now Japan has used all its mobile troops on the Australian battlefield and cannot divide its troops to attack the United States.

On the mainland, even with the support of the Germans, according to Hirohito's own estimation, without more than 1.5 million troops, there is no chance of winning against the Americans in the United States!

Ito Genzaburo's German Southwest Pacific Expedition Force has more than 1.8 million troops. However, there is also that damn China devil Tang Qiuli, who has more than 2 million troops in Indochina. That is an occupation of the empire.

The biggest threat to the region. If Ito Genzaburo's troops are used to attack the United States, and the Japanese Army's troops are stabbed in the back, the situation will be dangerous, and the gains will not be worth the losses!

Suffering, Emperor Hirohito fell into great suffering, not because the war was unfavorable, but because the tempting opportunity was right in front of him, but for various reasons, he did not dare to eat it, or in other words, he did not have the ability to eat, and he was starved to death.

Personal, right?

After suffering for a few days, Emperor Hirohito still held a military meeting in front of the imperial court to discuss the secret message from the German head of state Hitler. What are the benefits of the Germans sending it to our door? What should we do? He wanted to hear the opinions of the ministers.

The military generals, led by Minister of War and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, Koichi Mineuchi, kept a clear head in response to Hitler's secret message. Attacking the United States was not a trivial matter. It would require the entire Empire of Japan to bet on it.

, not to mention that the current Japanese Empire has insufficient capital!

The opinions of the ministers are very clear. The current Australian War is not over yet. The strategic focus of the Empire is still to give priority to solving the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield. Once the Australian War is over and the Imperial Army wins, the next step will be considered.

The ministers' mature advice for the country made Emperor Hirohito's head fever reach 100 degrees. He calmed down and realized that he was a bit concerned. However, it was also out of helplessness. If the empire now has three to five million soldiers, why should he be so worried?

, has long been attacking the mainland of the United States, but the poor family and poor industry dare not make trouble!

The imperial military meeting determined the following policy: "The empire is currently focusing on solving the problem on the Australian battlefield, with the ultimate goal of annihilating the Allied forces. To this end, Ito Genzaburo, commander-in-chief of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, is ordered to immediately command the headquarters.

, resume the offensive posture against the Australian allies, and strive to end the Australian war in the shortest possible time!"

The plan of Emperor Hirohito and his ministers was to wait for the troops commanded by Ito Genzaburo to escape from Australia, then see the Germans' next move, and then decide what to do. Before the Imperial Council was over, General Yamamoto's

The secret message has arrived.
