The Rise of the Third Reich
Chapter 1138 Roosevelt’s death is over
As soon as Ernest King's words came out, everyone in the U.S. Senate conference room stood up from their chairs, and then there was thunderous applause, and some people shouted loudly: "Victory! Victory! America, victory! America Victory!"
The capture of Pearl Harbor was undoubtedly a victory of real strategic value! Because the United States' involvement in this damn world war began with Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. And now, after more than half a year of hard fighting, the U.S. military has finally achieved a truly decisive victory in the Second Battle of the Hawaiian Islands.
Moreover, before occupying Pearl Harbor, the U.S. troops who landed on Oahu also captured Diamond Head and Honolulu, which were heavily fortified by the Japanese army. Now that it has captured Pearl Harbor, the most important port in the entire Hawaiian Islands, it can be said that Oahu and the Hawaiian Islands are already within the United States' possessions.
Because the Japanese troops on Oahu could no longer stop the mechanized U.S. troops from landing on Oahu through the ports of Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. Moreover, the large airport at Pearl Harbor is now in the hands of the US military. As long as a sufficient number of P47s and P51s are deployed there, it will be enough to block the waters around Oahu.
The remaining Japanese troops on Oahu have been completely unable to obtain supplies. The only thing waiting for them is destruction - they are all dead, and no one can survive!
However, this news was not a good thing for Roosevelt, who wanted to negotiate peace with Germany during his term. Because a victory in the Hawaiian Islands will undoubtedly increase the fighting mood of the American people!
Moreover, members of Congress who intend to run for re-election will also take the opportunity to make high-profile remarks and create various obstacles to the government's peaceful movement.
At least the Senate investigation hearing on the war situation will not be passed so easily!
When he thought that the time to save the United States would be wasted because of endless investigative hearings, Roosevelt's blood pressure suddenly rose, and his brain throbbed with pain. He should have ordered a suspension of the attack on Oahu! However, after the stroke, Roosevelt's memory and judgment were not as good as before, and he easily forgot things. He was so busy dealing with hearings these days that he actually forgot about the battle in the Hawaiian Islands!
Why did you forget it? What to do now? The appetite of the American people has been whetted, and the peace movement may not be easy to advance.
Thinking of this, he suddenly found that the scene in front of him became blurry, and then a feeling of weakness came from his limbs and various parts of his body, and then his whole body softened and collapsed on the ground.
"President, the president is down!"
"God, he's down!"
"Doctor, call the doctor quickly!"
"Oh my god, isn't he very healthy? Why did he collapse?"
Roosevelt was not completely unconscious; he could still hear and see. He heard someone shouting and saw people rushing towards him, surrounding him, calling his name.
Then, Dr. McIntyre, whose health report proved that he was in excellent health, also came, with a nurse and a medicine box - obviously prepared!
"Left his body flat."
Roosevelt heard McIntyre speak, and then someone straightened his limp body. Roosevelt knew he couldn't stay on the ground—hearings were now underway about his health. Now that he is lying flat, is there any evidence that he is healthy? Would a healthy person suddenly collapse like this and then lie flat?
So Roosevelt wanted to stand up, or at least sit up. But his hands, feet and body were not under control, and he couldn't use any strength at all.
"Oh God! The president probably has a cerebral hemorrhage! God, what should I do..."
Roosevelt heard Dr. McIntyre cry—even the doctor cried! Roosevelt thought to himself: I am probably really going to die, and the person who will take over is Wallace, an overly idealistic idiot! God didn’t bless America this time, what a shame…
Roosevelt's wife, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, also came to Roosevelt at this time. She came to Congress with Roosevelt, but she was sitting in the audience. Seeing her husband collapse, Mrs. Roosevelt immediately knew something was going to happen.
Dr. McIntyre would nag in her ear almost every day: The president's physical condition is very dangerous, the blood vessels in the brain are extremely fragile, and another stroke will be extremely fatal.
"Doctor, what should I do?" Roosevelt heard his wife asking.
"I don't know, I don't know either..." Dr. McIntyre's answer made everyone feel a sense of despair.
He was really about to die. Roosevelt was speechless and had no feeling in any part of his body. Only his eyes could move. He took one last look at the blurry figure of his wife. I sighed softly and said in my heart: I'm sorry, America, I was wrong!
Then he fell into eternal darkness!
"Doctor, how is the president?"
Senate Republican leader Taft was probably the most anxious person in the Senate room besides Mrs. Roosevelt.
His heart was in his throat when he saw Roosevelt lying motionless on the carpet.
Roosevelt hasn't finished taking the blame yet, he can't fall down now! Otherwise, Dewey and the Republican Party would be in big trouble. Wallace is an idealistic fool who values political correctness above all else. He will not take the blame for the Republican Party under any circumstances, and he will sing a high note even louder.
So what should the Republicans do? Sing along? So what happens after the president is elected? Did he immediately make a 180-degree turn and surrender and betray the country as soon as he came to power?
Moreover, after Wallace becomes president, the Democratic Party and the Bolshevik Party are likely to form a team to run for office. The originally guaranteed presidential position is now in doubt. As for the Republican Party's dream of winning more than half of the seats in Congress, it seems that there is no hope of realizing it.
"Doctor, how is the president?" Buckley, the leader of the Democratic Party, also pressed forward to ask. Although his eyebrows were also knitted together, he was still in a good mood.
Roosevelt, the scourge of the Democratic Party, seems to be on his last legs... Now it's time for the Republicans to take the blame.
Buckley gloated at Taft, who was a little lost. He was already thinking about how to manage Wallace, an idealistic fool. This guy would not make peace with Germany, but he might cause a fight. There is no need for a major counterattack. Now that Pearl Harbor has been won, this is very beneficial to the Democratic Party's election. There is no need to create extraneous problems unless there is enough certainty to win.
In addition, Wallace had good relations with the Bolshevik Party. Maybe it could lead to an alliance between the Democratic Party and the Bolshevik Party. Although this will cause the Democratic Party to lose votes in seven southern states, it can gain more votes in the industrial states in the central and northeastern states. It may not help the presidential election, but it is still beneficial to the congressional election. At least it can prevent the Republican Party from seizing the majority of seats in Congress.
"The president is dead!"
Just as the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties were thinking about how to deal with the "post-Roosevelt era", Dr. McIntyre had loudly announced news that would shock the world and change the course of history.
"President Roosevelt died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage!"
On October 13, 1944, President Roosevelt, who was attending an investigative hearing in the U.S. Senate and presented authoritative evidence to prove that he was in excellent health, suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage...
…
"What? Roosevelt is dead?"
"Yes, he is dead! He died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage."
"Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely true."
"Damn it...how could he die? This is so irresponsible. How could he leave the United States and this unfinished world war and die alone? Who gave him such power? of?"
Berlin, Chancellery. When the news of the death of US President Roosevelt came, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, who was already waiting to spend money lavishly with the joy of winning a super jackpot, went crazy.
Surely Hitler knew what Roosevelt's death meant? Now no one in the United States has enough prestige and skill to promote peace! If Germany still wants to get 500 billion Euromarks, it must continue to attack the United States, at least until it obtains a base where it can easily drop atomic bombs into the United States.
And this means fighting a high-intensity war for at least another year, spending countless military expenditures, and causing the casualties of hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers. If we encounter another American president who is out of his mind, he will have to fight a decisive battle with the Germans on home soil, and whether he can get the compensation is a question.
If he can't get the money, when will such a stubborn Aryan master get the promised car and eat the delicious big pig's trotters?
Chief of General Staff Hersmann, Defense Minister Schleicher, Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, Propaganda Minister Goebbels and others also received the news and hurried to the Chancellery.
Among them, Ribbentrop and Goebbels were similar to Hitler, and they were all anxious.
Today's Nazi Party does not hold the sky with one hand. The Nazi Party also needs good things like votes to stay in power, and votes need to be exchanged for welfare. However, the election checks issued by the Nazi Party in the 1930s (every family has a car, everyone gnaws pig's trotters, etc.) have not yet been cashed.
"Two Reich Marshals, what do you think?" Adolf Hitler saw that Hersmann and Schleicher, two men in military uniforms, looked confident, so he asked directly.
"Mr. Prime Minister, Roosevelt's death is a loss for the American people, not ours," Hersman said. "And Roosevelt's death does not mean that the door to peace has been closed. The American people have always been practical. As long as we make them feel dangerous enough, the compensation of 5,000 European marks is not a problem at all. Maybe we can ask for a little more! "
"Mr. Chancellor," Schleicher suggested, "perhaps you can ask your Roman friends to discuss it with Roosevelt's successors. Of course it would be best if they are willing to continue along the peaceful path pioneered by Roosevelt. If they If we are not willing to make peace, then we should launch the Fort Gotchi Plan, land on the North American continent, and liberate the Canadian people from the iron heel of the American colonists.”
