Iron Germany

"General, the German shelling has stopped," the secretary reported to Admiral Marshall.

Admiral Marshall nodded: "Prepare the car and go to the White House immediately."

"Yes, General." The secretary immediately went to make arrangements.

Five minutes later, Admiral Marshall left the Army General Staff in a jeep and, protected by several jeeps and trucks, headed for the White House.

The roads in downtown Washington have become potholed, full of bomb craters and scattered building debris. The once bustling and wide streets have completely changed their appearance now. There were not a single civilian on the street, and occasionally soldiers in a hurry passed by. From the faces of these soldiers, Admiral Marshall could clearly see their numbness and despair. Obviously, everyone is completely desperate for this war.

Ten minutes later, the convoy arrived at the White House. At this time, the White House has also been completely destroyed. The building has become dilapidated, with ruins everywhere.

Seeing such a situation, Admiral Marshall felt very sad. Has the once world-class power become like this now?

After checking his identity, Admiral Marshall, led by White House staff, entered the basement of the White House. President Roosevelt is working here now. Although the environment is completely incomparable to before, it is better than safety. At least, even if the Germans dive-bombed the White House with heavy bombs, they were not able to destroy it, let alone threaten the safety of President Roosevelt.

"Your Excellency!" Admiral Marshall saluted President Roosevelt.

Although many people believe that the reason why the United States fell into such a field is entirely because President Roosevelt took a wrong path at the beginning. Admiral Marshall, however, never thought so. He still respects and admires President Roosevelt very much. He always believed that the reason why President Roosevelt made such a choice was entirely for the benefit of the American Republic. And the current failure is not President Roosevelt's fault. It is entirely because their enemies are too powerful. Otherwise, the American Republic would not be what it is now. Even, they are very likely to defeat the enemy and become the new world hegemon.

Of course, now that the United States has lost, they have suffered a crushing defeat. They have no other choice but to admit defeat.

"General Marshall, please sit down!" President Roosevelt said.

The current President Roosevelt looks even older, with sunken eye sockets, heavy bags under the eyes, and more wrinkles on his face. The current President Roosevelt is not yet sixty years old. However, it looks like he is in his seventies and eighties. As the president, the pressure on his shoulders is very great. Especially when the US military continues to fail, the country and the nation are very likely to perish, which further increases the pressure on his shoulders.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Admiral Marshall sat on the sofa.

After delivering a cup of coffee, the secretary closed the door and left the office.

"General Marshall, do you have anything to say? I think you don't have to worry about anything in front of me, you can speak freely." President Roosevelt said.

"Your Excellency, the army can't fight anymore." Admiral Marshall hesitated for a moment, and then said bravely.

President Roosevelt was obviously taken aback for a moment, but then nodded.

"I can understand. Our army was once again defeated by the Germans, and the loss of the troops was also very large. Under such circumstances, there is indeed no way to persist." President Roosevelt said.

"Your Excellency, the German army is too strong. The previous tank battle cost us the main armored force. At the same time, the morale of the troops fell to the bottom. Under such circumstances, our troops no longer have the courage to fight Germany again. People have been fighting. Now, it is very common for soldiers to surrender, and there are even cases of institutionalized surrender. There has already been an infantry division that has surrendered to the Germans. Even if we send military police to the front, there is no slightest concern. effect. If this continues, I am afraid that all troops will be lost due to surrender soon." Admiral Marshall said.

President Roosevelt nodded, he also knew that the current situation was very serious. However, Admiral Marshall's words made him understand the situation of the army better. This is obviously more serious than he expected!

"Alas! I have harmed the United States! If I hadn't implemented military industry to stimulate economic development, perhaps the United States would not have come to this point." President Roosevelt sighed. If he had known that this would lead the United States to its demise, perhaps he would not have made that choice in the first place. However, there is no regret medicine in the world. It's too late to regret now.

"No, Your Excellency. Everything you do is for the American Republic. Without your original decision, it would be impossible for the United States to get out of the economic crisis so quickly. Although we have failed now, it is mainly because the enemy is too strong The reason. Otherwise, we have defeated the Germans and become the new world hegemony." Admiral Marshall said.

President Roosevelt smiled bitterly: "Failure is failure, there is no excuse. I am the president of the American Republic, and the responsibility for failure should naturally be borne by me."

Admiral Marshall wanted to persuade him, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Your Excellency, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and other cabinet ministers, all come here." President Roosevelt picked up the phone on his desk and ordered the secretary outside the door.

Then President Roosevelt hung up the phone.

"We have completely lost this battle, and we can't continue to fight. Then, the next thing we have to do is to beg for peace from the Germans. I hope that the Germans will not kill us this time!" President Roosevelt said.

However, even President Roosevelt himself did not believe that the Germans would be kind to the United States. Because that's almost impossible. They all know very well that even if the United States will not challenge Germany's world dominance in this battle, Germany will not let the United States go. Who made the United States a threat to Germany's world dominance? In order for the hegemony of the German Empire to be stable, Germany must get rid of the United States. Unless the United States can defeat Germany in the war, the United States can only be destroyed.

"May God bless the American Republic!" Admiral Marshall also said.

Indeed, they seemed to have no other choice but to pray to God.
