The Rise of the Third Reich

On January 20, 1945, Washington, D.C., was fortunate enough to be covered in a sheet of heavy snow. The tall Capitol Building looks a bit hazy when viewed through the heavy snow that looks like falling goose feathers.

Truman was sitting in the car. Today he was wrapped in a navy blue coat and looked quietly at the snowy scene outside the window. There was finally a trace of relaxation on his heavy face - such weather should protect Washington from air raids. Bar?

He turned and glanced at his wife, Beth Truman, beside him. Today is the most important moment in the lives of this couple, who will soon become the President and First Lady of the United States of America. Since Truman entered the political arena, all his efforts and all his performances in front of and behind the scenes were aimed at one day taking the oath of office on the U.S. Constitution and becoming the first man of the United States of America.

But on the eve of arriving on Capitol Hill for his swearing-in, Truman felt a hint of regret. He probably shouldn't have run for president, and maybe he shouldn't have gone with Buckley to embarrass President Roosevelt. If Roosevelt's wishes were followed, a peace treaty would have been signed between the United States and Germany, and Dewey, who would take control of the White House, and the Republicans who would control Congress would have to shoulder the blame left by Roosevelt.

It is true that the United States will experience a long and painful period after the arrival of this humiliating peace, but the United States' dominance over the entire North America will be guaranteed - something that was not possible before the world war! And the interests of the United States in South America are not completely lost at once, because Germany will still face a lot of difficulties in integrating Europe after the war, and will not seek a dominant position in South America at all, otherwise they will not support any new Federation of Asbania. Therefore, if "Roosevelt's Peace" can be realized, post-war South America will probably be a balance of power between the United States and Europe.

With its absolute dominance over North America and the balance of power between the United States and Europe in South America, the United States has actually gained a huge living space, and its future re-emergence is only a matter of time.

But now...the United States is gambling on its national destiny! If it wins, the United States can dominate the entire Americas and confront Germany across the Atlantic. If it loses, it may not even be able to keep its territory in North America, and the United States will be restricted to the territory of its homeland and several Pacific colonies. And the amount of compensation will be greatly increased!

Before today, Truman had not really sat at the gambling table that affected the fate of the United States, but was watching how Roosevelt and Wallace made their bets. Just looking at it makes me scared... This bet is really not fun.

Just before Truman left for his inauguration on Capitol Hill from the White House (where he had attended the last Cabinet meeting hosted by Wallace before being sworn in), Director of Strategic Services Donovan reported a news that made him gasp. News: The German atomic bomb seems to have a new trick. It can be used to create tsunamis, using huge waves ten to twenty meters high to hit the beachhead of Trinidad!

According to Donovan's report, this information is very reliable. The source is the Soviet intelligence service and the Free French Movement. Their latent agents in the Tsarist Russian puppet government and the French puppet government reported this information almost at the same time. It is obviously very credible. !

Not to mention whether the Germans will use such underhanded tactics to attack coastal cities on the east coast of the United States (of course, this must be guarded against. After the inauguration ceremony, Truman will study the matter with cabinet members and senior military generals), Even if Germany honestly uses tsunamis to deal with the US military on Trinidad, it will be a headache enough. Coastal cities can also prepare for tsunami bombs by evacuating some residents and deploying anti-submarine nets (in fact, many anti-submarine nets have been deployed). But what about the defenders on Trinidad and other islands in the Caribbean? Do all beachheads need to be strengthened enough to withstand tsunamis?

This president really doesn’t look like he’s doing a good job! Truman didn’t even want to take the oath...

At this time, the Capitol Hill was covered with falling snowflakes, but it was completely covered in silver. But there were still many people in Washington, D.C., and supporters of the Democratic Party gathered. They braved the wind and snow, waving American flags, and welcomed Truman, the new president of the United States... who might also be the last president.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate also gathered on Capitol Hill to welcome the president. Because the U.S. Congress members took office earlier than the president, they are all new members. Among them, Democrats no longer have the upper hand. The Republican Party is now the largest party in parliament, and representatives of the National Fascist Party and the Bolshevik Party also have considerable seats. Although the Democratic Party is the second largest party, it can only retain more than one-third of the seats.

This means that even if Truman wants to take the blame for the American people, he must get the consent of the Republican Party! In order to gain the approval of the Republican Party, Truman and the Democratic Party had to sell out the New Deal - not the Republican Party itself voted to reject the New Deal bill, but the Democratic Party and the Republican Party joined forces!

This is betrayal! The Democratic Party betrayed its staunch supporters...the consequences of that betrayal would surely be a collapse in the 1946 midterm elections!

Once the Democratic Party collapses, it's hard to say whether Truman can serve as president until 1949. He might become the first president in American history to be impeached and removed from office...

Just when President Truman was panicking at the thought of the abyss he might face, the car he was riding in had stopped outside the Capitol.

"Honey, we're here!" Beth Truman reminded Truman softly, who seemed a little dazed.

The door of the car was opened by an American soldier in full uniform. The biting cold wind blew against his face, and Truman suddenly became excited. The trance and pessimism about America's future and destiny disappeared with it. When Truman stepped out of the car and waved to the American people who supported him, the reporters' cameras captured a leader who was full of energy, confident, and ready to lead the United States to defeat all fascist and Nazi enemies!

…

"He looks like a winner!"

Adolf Hitler gently patted the "Wall Street Journal" on his desk. The newspaper clearly published a photo of "Truman waving", and for some reason such a sentence appeared.

"The United States was destined to be the victor, but we changed our destiny." Hersman, who had just returned from Petrograd, also said something that sounded a bit enigmatic.

"Yes! We changed the destiny of Germany and Europe." Hitler nodded, and then changed the subject, "Ludwig, how about Rudolf's wedding in Russia?"

"It's much more elegant and dignified than the wedding in Heinsberg. It's almost like a royal wedding."

This time Hersmann went to Petrograd for Rudolf's wedding. The wedding was held at the Yusupov Palace, extremely luxurious and high-profile. There was also a horse-drawn carriage procession, just like the royal weddings in Europe. After the wedding, Rudolf and his wife Elena went to Sochi on the Black Sea coast and lived in the green jungle villa that originally belonged to Stalin, where they would spend their honeymoon.

"What do the Russians think of this wedding?" Hitler asked again.

"It seems to be very popular." Hersman shrugged. "This extravagant wedding shows the affluence of Germany and Western Europe. I think more Russians will want to come to us."

The wedding in Petrograd was paid for by Prince Yusupov - who was much richer than Hessmann! However, Russians now suffer from an inferiority complex. They always feel that their country and people are relatively poor and cannot be compared with the wealthy people in Western Europe.

Hitler couldn't help but frown when he heard that more Russians would come to Germany - this was actually a good thing, but Hitler didn't realize it now. Because the Russian nation is also a great nation full of talents, and their appearance is not much different from the Germanic people, making it easier to assimilate. If Germany can attract a large number of outstanding Russian talents, it will only become more prosperous and stronger in the future. As for Russian labor, that is also the labor needed for the construction of Germany and Western Europe. As long as the European Community can extort enough reparations from the United States, the scale of infrastructure construction in the future will be very large and will require a large amount of labor. Using Russians is definitely more reliable than using workers from the Middle East and Africa. At least they are also blond, blue-eyed, white-skinned, and believe in God.

Hitler, who still didn't know the value of the Slavs, brought the topic back to the war with the United States. He asked: "It seems that the first phase of the Fort Gotchi plan has been successful, right?"

The Fort Gotchi plan is divided into two stages. The first stage is the deception stage, which is to make the Americans believe that Trinidad is the target of the German attack, thus ignoring the defense of Newfoundland. The second stage is to attack Newfoundland!

Now various deception operations are taking place in turn, not only deceiving the United States, but also the French, British and Russians.

In addition to deception, confidentiality work was also carried out extremely well. There were only a few people who knew that the real target of the German attack was Newfoundland. Except for the elite staff officers of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff who participated in the formulation of the plan, that is, there were The few people who are qualified to participate in the headquarters meeting include the commander of the Atlantic Front, the commander of the naval aviation, the commander of the Marine Corps, the commander of the Submarine Command, and several munitions directors.

According to intelligence analysis fed back from all aspects, the deception was indeed successful. Americans should now be 100% convinced that the place where fate is decided is Trinidad.

But this is not all of the "deception plan". In order to maximize the mobilization of the US military's air and sea power, the National Defense Forces General Staff also formulated a false plan to attack the Bermuda Islands.
