Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 2899 Roosevelt's Congressional Speech
But not criticizing each other does not mean that Hitler and Emperor Hirohito, the supreme rulers of Germany and Japan, do not have this thorn in their hearts. Cooperation between countries, if there are opinions on the table for discussion, is not terrible, it is terrible.
Everything is fermenting in the heart, and there will always be an outbreak. Now, the two rulers of Germany and Japan are in such a state.
Hitler secretly gritted his teeth. He had long known that cooperating with the Japanese would not be very pleasant, but he did not expect how early this unpleasantness would come. However, he did not blame Rommel. The actions of his beloved general were understandable.
.
Hitler began to figure out how to make the Japanese rejoice in vain after the end of the war against the United States, or in other words, get a very small part of the benefits. So he thought of his old friend Tang Qiuli. However, for now, he still
The right time has not come yet!
In addition, Hitler ordered the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Strong, to immediately form a third batch of troops to reinforce Rommel's South American Army Group, including an aviation fleet of 1,500 combat aircraft, 20
Mechanized division and three tank corps, totaling about 350,000 troops.
As soon as Marshal Strong left the office, his secretary came in to report that Admiral Dönitz, the commander of the navy, asked to see him.
Hitler, the head of state of Germany, was gritting his teeth secretly, while Emperor Hirohito of Japan publicly scolded his mother. Of course, he was scolding the Germans, calling them nothing, despicable villains, and treacherous people who violated the covenant!
After scolding Emperor Hirohito, he began to think about how to manipulate the relationship with the Germans after this incident. Of course, he did not blame his confidant and favorite General Yamamoto if the Germans were behind his back.
To retaliate, that is not the style of our Emperor of Japan!
Hirohito realized that if he could obtain more benefits after the end of the war with the United States, he could only use military strength to surpass Germany's current military strength on the North American battlefield and use military strength to get what he wanted, plus
, with the intervention of the Canadians, the troops currently commanded by Yamamoto appear to be insufficient.
Therefore, Emperor Hirohito held a military meeting in front of the imperial court. At the meeting, it was decided to reinforce the Empire's North American Combat Command with ten first-class divisions. Where did this part of the force come from? Some of it was newly formed domestic troops. There were three divisions.
, the other seven divisions can only be drawn from various garrison troops stationed in the empire's southwest Pacific occupation zone.
Among them, three main divisions were transferred from Australia. The reason why so many troops were transferred from Australia was because of the geographical location of Australia. It is separated from the Indochina Peninsula where more than one million division troops are deployed. There are vast oceans and several imperial occupations in between.
Strategically speaking, the islands belong to the rear area and are relatively safe. As a result, the Japanese troops stationed in Australia only have four divisions, less than 90,000 troops.
The remaining five divisions were drawn from the garrisons on Luzon, Mindanao, Kalimantan, Sumatra and other islands. In this way, the Japanese defense force on the islands in the Southwest Pacific was reduced by more than 200,000.
People around.
As for the gap in military strength, the Japanese had their own way. They recruited a large number of local indigenous residents to form several Imperial Army troops, equipped with Japanese-style equipment and Japanese military uniforms, and instilled them with Japanese military training methods and as the emperor.
Your Majesty's method of brainwashing allegiance to Japanese officers at all levels was quite good. By May 1942, more than 500,000 Imperial Army troops were mobilized.
The Japanese dispatched more than 2,700 combat aircraft to indiscriminately bomb areas outside the defense line of the Dilera Mountains. Moreover, this was an area where few US troops were deployed, leaving members of the US Supreme Wartime Command equally confused.
, it’s inexplicable, I don’t know if the Japanese took the wrong medicine and went crazy on secondary areas and secondary targets. However, the Americans are happy to see that they can reduce the pressure on the western defense line.
The Dillera Mountain defense line on the western battlefield became stable due to the addition of the Canadians. The Japanese were unable to break through within a short period of time and fell into a stalemate. On the southwest border battlefield, the Germans successively occupied Phoenix, Santa Fe and
After Austin, the offensive momentum has also slowed down. More than 200,000 additional troops have been deployed on the second line of defense on the southwest border, which can temporarily ensure safety.
The pressure from both directions was relieved at the same time. While everyone in the United States breathed a sigh of relief, President Roosevelt could finally take a breath. His attention was temporarily diverted from the battlefield. He felt that it was time for a showdown with members of Congress.
Roosevelt knew very well that the current stability of the two battlefields was only a temporary phenomenon. The so-called "If you defend for a long time, you will lose!" The United States was in a defensive state. Even with the help of the Canadians, it was impossible to defeat the Germans and Japanese.
People, the permanent blockade is at the current position. As for completely driving the invaders out of American soil, it is better to give up this unrealistic idea for the time being!
Now, the war on the mainland is still burning on the western and southwestern borders, and has not spread to the central and eastern regions. However, the two regions are by no means pure lands. Both the Japanese and the Germans will eventually attack the central and eastern regions, and even Roosevelt
It can all be inferred that more intense battles will take place in the central and eastern regions in the future.
The central and eastern regions of the United States are at the heart of the country and the foundation of the United States. Most of the political, military, economic and cultural centers of the United States are located in the central and western regions. Once the war spreads here, it will destroy the United States.
Fundamentally, if the United States loses the capital to continue fighting the invaders, it will shake the foundation of the country, and the United States will not be far from national subjugation!
Therefore, as an outstanding politician with far-sighted thinking and the current president of the United States, Roosevelt must take this into consideration. He knew better that the battle with the Germans and Japanese would last for a long time, two years, three years.
Years...or more years.
As long as the foundation of the United States is preserved, it will have the capital and confidence to deal with the Germans and Japanese. Even if the central and eastern regions are reduced to a scorched earth, the United States will have a chance to recover. Roosevelt has already made a cruel decision. After all his worries are over, the United States will
Let’s have a scorched-earth resistance war here!
Therefore, Roosevelt must take precautions to preserve the foundation of the United States. After secret talks with Canadian Prime Minister McKenzie, another agreement he reached was to move industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research institutions in the central and eastern United States to Canada. Except for others, he
He also told Mackenzie an absolutely shocking decision: the United States is moving its capital!
Roosevelt clearly remembered that when Mackenzie heard what he said, he was first shocked and speechless, with a dull face full of disbelief. Then, he thought for a long time, and finally, he agreed.
, and admire my determination and courage.
Now that the war situation has temporarily stabilized, Roosevelt can finally free up his hands to handle this matter, but he knows how difficult this matter is. Although he is the president of the United States, he has passed the wartime act and combined military and political power.
, However, the political system of the United States has determined that it is destined to be unable to cover the sky with one hand. The biggest obstacle is the members of both houses of Congress!
Relocating all industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research institutions in the central and eastern regions to Canada. First of all, the representatives of these American interest groups, members of Congress, will not agree. That would be touching their cheese. As for moving the capital, it is even more difficult. For
It breaks the existing political structure of the United States and involves all aspects of interests. However, without the unanimous approval of members of Congress, the capital relocation and relocation cannot be carried out.
Even the interest groups that had lost their interests would join forces to oust him. In the deep night, Roosevelt was sleepless, weighing and racking his brains over how to convince the members of Congress and the interest groups behind them to agree with him.
Proposed bill?
One day in mid-February 1942, it was the day when the two houses of Congress of the United States were meeting. President Roosevelt only brought Joel Joel, the White House Chief of Staff, to the meeting of the two houses. In a sense, Roosevelt was quite a bit
The courage to go to a meeting alone.
In front of more than a thousand members of the House and Senate, Roosevelt spent more than half an hour explaining his decision, the reasons and basis for the decision, and the real crisis facing the United States.
.
Roosevelt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said emotionally at the end of his speech: "Relocation is unprecedented since the founding of the United States of America. I understand the pain in your hearts. My own pain is even greater than yours. I will do it because I am here."
In the history of the United States, he is the first sitting president to decide to move the capital, and he has to bear all the pressure and anger, even hatred and curses!"
"However, the dangerous situation the United States is facing now no longer allows us to hesitate any longer. Once the central and eastern regions fall into war, the foundation of the United States will be shaken. Relocating the capital and relocating industrial and mining enterprises and scientific research institutions is a last resort.
, everything is for the United States, for the United States to finally drive away the invaders!"
"Therefore, I sincerely hope to get the understanding and support of all members of the Congress. For the future of the United States, and for the United States not to perish, I only need you to raise your hands and agree to my proposal. As for the name-calling, curses, accusations and hatred,
I will bear the responsibility alone, and leave the merits and demerits to history for comment!"
Roosevelt's speech was definitely from the bottom of his heart, and it was also realistic. It touched people's hearts, and it was sincere. A man sitting in a wheelchair with half of his body paralyzed, a man with broken bones, dragging his body for a long time, was still struggling.
The future and destiny of the United States are not willing to bear the infamy. His character deserves respect!
The White House Chief of Staff Joelna, who always stood behind Roosevelt, had long since burst into tears. Joelna also believed that even a hard-hearted person would be moved by the president’s heartfelt words, not to mention everyone present.
Are they the American political elite?
