The Rise of the Third Reich

Washington, the White House.

On both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue, the American flag and the eagle of the Roman Empire were hung everywhere. Policemen in uniforms and riding horses formed a horizontal formation at the intersection near the White House to block the crowds of people welcoming and protesting - they were of course here for Comrade Mussolini, the forefather of fascism.

He was welcomed by comrades from the National Fascist Party of the United States. Their leader Lindbergh had just had a cordial conversation with Mussolini for a full quarter of an hour at the Union Station in Washington, and Mussolini finally hugged him warmly.

There were even more people protesting Mussolini's visit. Some of them held the red flag of the American Bolshevik Party and sang the Internationale. They were supporters of the American Bolshevik Party, and quite a few of them were angry blacks. Some people shouted slogans such as "Get out of America", "Get out of Abyssinia", "Get out of Sudan", and "Get out of somewhere else" - this was of course to protest the indignant war of aggression launched by the Roman Empire against black Africa and the subsequent slavery.

Of course, the Americans who welcomed and protested Mussolini were separated by the Federal Mounted Police of the District of Columbia. Otherwise, they would have had a fight at the gate of the White House!

In the current southern United States, supporters of the Bolshevik Party and the National Fascist Party would fight each other every now and then.

The sound of protest and cheering reached the oval diplomatic reception hall in the White House. President Roosevelt, who was talking cordially with the visiting Caesar of the Roman Empire, smiled bitterly and said to the visiting Mussolini: "Mr. Caesar, what is happening here in the United States is very similar to what happened in Europe in 1917, isn't it?"

"Mr. President," Mussolini shook his head, "You can save the United States, and the key to open the door to peace is in your hands... I am sure to convince German Chancellor Hitler with only the equivalent of 100 billion US dollars in compensation. In fact, he is willing to coexist peacefully with a big country ruled by the Aryan race like the United States."

Mussolini took the initiative to reduce the claims made by the European Community by 50%, but he was still sure that Hitler would accept it. Because he knew that with the equivalent of $100 billion in gold, silver, food, livestock and oil, Hitler could easily clean up the mess in Russia and Britain, and could also fulfill his election promises relatively quickly - the small goal of tearing up the Treaty of Versailles and dominating the world has probably been achieved, and now all that's missing is cars and steaks in every household.

In the eyes of Caesar of the Roman Empire, about 80 million Germanic barbarians have been suffering for nearly 30 years to realize their dream of a world empire. Now that their dream has finally come true, of course they want to live a comfortable life. As long as the Americans are willing to pay, those Germanic barbarians will definitely not be interested in fighting anymore.

In this way, the overall situation of multipolarization in the future world can be laid, right? Why are Americans so reluctant to spend money? How can you cowboys from the New World beat the Germanic barbarians in Europe?

Roosevelt spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless, "Sir Caesar, I only have six months left in my presidency... This is a very short time, and the decisions I can make during this period are limited. If the German Chancellor is willing to first cease fire completely, and then discuss a peace treaty without ceding territory or paying compensation, I can convince Congress to support it. Of course... The United States also has an obligation to help Europe get rid of its current economic difficulties. I think a long-term low-interest loan of 20 billion US dollars is not a problem at all." Mussolini frowned, "Then should the US troops stationed in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, British Bermuda, British Trinidad, British Bahamas and other places withdraw?" "The United States respects the British Empire's territory. "We will protect the sovereignty of Turkey," Roosevelt said carefully, "and we are willing to provide financial assistance to Britain to rebuild its economy. Of course, we are helping and respecting a truly independent and autonomous Britain!" "Mr. President," Mussolini shook his head, "This is impossible! The Germans will never accept such a peace... They now have the most powerful military force in the world! Now is the time when the German Empire is the most powerful. If we can't find a way to appease this powerful war machine, the whole world will be dominated by it in the future!" Mussolini was really anxious. Roosevelt seemed to lack sincerity in the peace talks, and in his opinion, the US military force was not enough to defeat the European Community headed by Germany. "Mr. President," Mussolini showed an exaggerated expression of regret, "Based on my understanding of Germany's military strength, the war will have disastrous consequences for the United States! Once Germany defeats the US Navy, seizes many islands in the Caribbean, and has bases that can drop atomic weapons on the US mainland... What the United States has to pay is not just 500 billion European marks and withdrawing from Australia and New Zealand!" Roosevelt nodded and said, "Mr. Caesar, I know you are a true friend of the American people... But the United States is in an extraordinary period now, so this is all I can promise. If Mr. Hitler is not satisfied, we can achieve a ceasefire first, and then slowly negotiate, and hand over the important mission of bringing peace to the United States to the next US president." ... Mussolini left the White House with disappointment, and Admiral Nimitz, William Leahy, and Ernest King were taken into Roosevelt's office by Colonel Cotton. "Mr. President!"

Nimitz, Leahy and King all stood at attention and gave President Roosevelt a military salute.

"Sit down." Roosevelt raised his hand and pointed to the three chairs placed side by side across from the desk.

The three admirals all sat down. Roosevelt glanced at them and said: "I have seen your 'Andean Plan'. It is very good and very bold! It is unexpected and hits the mark. If this plan succeeds, , we can win the war."

"Mr. President," Nimitz said, "the plan will succeed! Because the Germans have no idea that we will launch an attack from the Pacific."

"It's useless even if they think about it," Ernest King said. "The Germans simply don't have enough troops to be tightly guarded in all places, and the airports, ports and dock facilities that Chile has are very crude and inadequate. To support a large number of naval and air forces, according to the information we have, they have not deployed any forces there.

Therefore, the Pacific Fleet will definitely be able to successfully occupy Chile, and then Buenos Aires will be within the combat radius of B-17 bombers and P51 fighter jets. "

It turns out that the U.S. Pacific Fleet did not lose its vitality in the Second Battle of the Hawaiian Islands. Now they still have a powerful attack force that cannot be resisted by a small country of Chile's level.

Therefore, before the Battle of Midway, Admiral Nimitz formulated a surprise counterattack plan - the "Andes Plan."

According to this plan, after the Pacific Fleet severely damaged the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the Hawaiian Islands, it would dispatch the main force to return home for rest before the entire Hawaiian Islands were recovered. After completing a short-term rest and replenishment, instead of heading to the Caribbean via the Panama Canal, we headed south directly to attack Chile!

After occupying the northern and central areas of Chile, they immediately deployed B-17s and P-51s in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and then used them to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the capital of Argentina.

The reason for doing this is that the Americans know very well that the Argentinians are not very able to withstand war. They just felt that victory was within easy reach, so they went on the adventure with Peron. If Buenos Aires is blown to rubble by American bombs, these Argentines will definitely regret it, and Peron's regime will most likely fall by then - it is not that there are no pro-American forces in Argentina now, as long as the Argentines try When the war gets serious, the pro-American faction can take the opportunity to launch an attack and overthrow Peron's rule.

As soon as Peron fell, the German offensive in South America was immediately drained from the bottom of the cauldron. Even though the German-controlled Republic of Guyana is very close to the Caribbean, it is just a few forward bases and not the foundation of Germany in South America.

Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and southern Brazil are the foundation (this area is now integrated into the new Asbanian Federation with Argentina as the center). Without the oil and food there, once the number of European coalition forces increases, they will have to worry about eating.

If all logistics must be supplied from Europe, not only will a large number of ships be occupied, but the risk of being attacked by U.S. submarines will also increase - because the transport fleet is slow and is easily attacked by submarines. Warships (usually converted from cruise ships and passenger ships) are less vulnerable to submarine attacks because of their speed.

Therefore, Germany's military operations in the Americas cannot do without the support of Argentina. Otherwise, even if it is carried out reluctantly, it will lack the chance of victory due to the huge logistical pressure.

And this "Achilles' heel" is no secret to the United States, which is familiar with the situation in South America and has deep roots in South America.

Therefore, counterattacking Guyana from the front of the Caribbean-Atlantic battlefield is not the only option for the United States to counterattack—although a successful counterattack on Guyana can allow the United States to end the war as a winner.

However, once the war starts in Guyana, it will inevitably trigger a decisive battle of surface fleets that is not very certain for the US Navy. Therefore, it is safer to choose to attack Chile in the Pacific direction. If the European Combined Fleet wants to bypass South America and go to the Pacific for a decisive battle, then the U.S. Atlantic Fleet will also have the opportunity to launch a counterattack against Guyana!
