    Interactions between countries are often an exchange of interests. Tang Qiuli's call back reassured Hitler that his old friend was also interested in the North American continent, which was easy to handle. Anyway, Germany didn't do it right away.  The plan to attack the United States is to manage the South American continent first, and then make calculations. Doesn't his old friend Tang Qiuli often say, "Xu Tuzhi!" This is the truth.

    Choosing a partner is very important. Tang Qiuli is the best partner. Hitler has no doubt about this. Moreover, the two parties have a good basis for cooperation. As for the telegram to the Japanese, it is considered a small conspiracy against the Japanese.  Give it a try, take it as revenge, and use all the factors that should be used as much as possible. This is what an outstanding politician should do!

    Based on Hitler's understanding of the Japanese, the promises he made, and the conditions he offered, it would be difficult for the greedy Japanese not to be tempted. He even considered that if the Japanese really sent troops to land on the east coast of the United States, they would land on the American mainland.  In a big fight with the Americans, Germany does not mind providing advanced weapons and equipment to the Japanese. It would be best if the Japanese take the lead!

    The United States, Washington, the White House, in the big conference room, all the officials who can be counted from the two terms of the US government are gathered here. On everyone's face, there is a sad expression like mourning for a heir, and there is unconcealable panic.  The report of the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force's air raids on several cities on the east coast is now on the president's desk, and they are waiting for Mr. President.

    In the Office of the President of the White House, President Roosevelt is sitting in a wheelchair. His sallow face is becoming more and more haggard, as if the candlelight of life may be extinguished at any time. He is indeed haggard mentally and physically due to a series of external disasters.  Japan's aggressive posture, domestic insensitivity to the imminent war.  It almost drained the last bit of energy out of him.

    After receiving reports of Japanese air raids on the east coast, several cities suffered heavy losses.  Roosevelt even fell into a coma. After the doctor's full rescue, he was saved. Originally, the doctor sternly warned Mr. President that he must rest in bed and cannot work according to his normal state, otherwise.  Life may be in danger at any time.

    However, the United States is already in a precarious and extreme crisis. The elite German troops have landed on the South American continent. Although there are no signs of the German army heading north to attack Mexico, Hitler's expansion methods and madman-like behavior are still unclear.  In terms of character, no one can guarantee that he will not treat the Soviets like that.  A massive attack on the U.S. mainland?

    "If only the Germans land on the South American continent, although it is a long-term concern, it is not a short-term concern.  It can be arranged calmly to deal with the lunatic Hitler. However, the Japanese suddenly launched an air raid. The impact of this incident is far greater than the German military operations on the South American continent. There is a buffer time for long-term worries, but there is a buffer time for near-term worries.  But it is imminent!

    The United States has been a country for more than 200 years, except for the Revolutionary War.  The mainland has not suffered any form of invasion, and the war almost engulfed most of the world during the First World War.  Not a bullet was dropped on American soil; instead, it was at war.  It laid the foundation for today's national strength of the United States. However, on an ordinary morning, all this changed. The Japanese imposed war on the Americans.

    The crazy Japanese air raids caused unprecedented psychological panic and shock to the American people. Even without leaving the White House, Roosevelt could smell the panic and panic permeating the skies over the United States. He had never experienced a domestic war.  Americans have an instinctive fear of a war that may happen on their doorstep.

    Various rumors spread wildly throughout the United States, spreading like a plague. The most widespread rumor was, "The Japanese have assembled millions of troops in the Hawaiian Islands and will land on the east coast at any time! The Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet  , has already reached the waters near Los Angeles and San Francisco! Japan¡¯s full-scale attack on the United States is about to begin!¡±

    Whether the rumors are grounded or not, the U.S. intelligence agencies are unable to judge, because he himself does not know and cannot guess whether the group of lunatics on the other side of the Pacific will really continue to go crazy and brazenly land on the East Coast. Rumors spread everywhere.  How can the United States, with its people in panic and as if a catastrophe is about to happen, prevent the disaster from happening?

    In the severe situation that concerns the future and destiny of the United States, can Roosevelt quietly lie in bed and recuperate? Of course not, otherwise, he would not drag his long-term illness and almost run out of energy to hold the meeting.  This is a joint meeting of senior military and political officials.

    White House Chief of Staff Joelna looked at the president worriedly. He did not agree with the president presiding over this meeting. Roosevelt felt the worry of his loyal assistant, forced a smile and said: "Joelna, there is no need to worry.  , my life is destined to be dedicated to the United States, let¡¯s go, push me out to the conference room!¡±

    President Roosevelt¡¯s wheelchair appearsIn the large conference room, the senior U.S. political officials who participated in the meeting all stood up and looked at the president who was as haggard as a dying man with complicated but expectant eyes. Their inner worries were palpable.

    The moment he was pushed into the large conference room by Joelna, Roosevelt seemed to be a different person. Although he was still so haggard, his eyes were filled with vivid light, as sharp and flexible as a young man. Perhaps, this is the meaning of politics.  charm.

    "It seems that everyone is worried about my health! Let me tell you that it's not as bad as you think!" Roosevelt's opening remarks were unexpected!

    I don¡¯t know why, but President Roosevelt¡¯s opening remarks gave the U.S. government officials who attended the meeting a sense of reassurance. They believed that Your Excellency, the famous president in American history, had led the United States through the most difficult years.  Once, too!

    Roosevelt was very satisfied with the effect he had created. Vice Admiral Robert, the commander of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Defense Command who was urgently recalled to Washington to attend the meeting, smiled and said: "Lieutenant Admiral Robert, you will report first.  Let¡¯s take a look at our losses. Of course, the local government has also submitted a report to the White House, but I want to hear the military¡¯s report, because that is the most true!¡±

    Lieutenant General Robert stood up, first saluted the President and the Commander-in-Chief of the US Army, and then said seriously: "Your Excellency, the losses have been heavy. Among them, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Carson City, Semmler and other places have suffered heavy losses."  The damage was the most severe, with ruins and rubble everywhere. The two rounds of bombings by the Japanese army focused on the above-mentioned cities. According to preliminary statistics from the East Coast Defense Command, the number of casualties was .

    Lieutenant General Robert was about to enter the topic, but was interrupted by President Roosevelt raising his hand, "Lieutenant General Robert, regarding the civilian casualties, as well as the damage to the city and property losses, the local government has already made a detailed report, so you don't need to repeat it.  , What I want to hear is the losses of your military and the losses of the Japanese during the two rounds of Japanese air attacks!"

    Lieutenant General Robert suddenly became embarrassed. The military's performance in responding to the Japanese air attack was not outstanding, even embarrassing. It was very appropriate to describe it as having no power to fight back. As a defense officer on the east coast,  The commander of the headquarters has a great responsibility, but when Mr. President asked, he could not answer truthfully, nor could he hide it.

    Lieutenant General Robert bit the bullet and said: "Mr. President, something happened suddenly. We deployed ground radar stations on several outpost islands far away from the east coast to monitor the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. Before the Japanese launched an air attack,  They were all destroyed by small groups of elite Japanese troops!¡±

    "Therefore, the National Defense Command did not receive any enemy warning in advance. Nearly two thousand Japanese combat aircraft flew over several cities and started bombing frantically. Even the city's air defense alarm did not have time to sound. We were attacked.  Caught off guard!"

    "But the main reason for such large-scale losses is that more than 80% of our naval land-based aviation forces originally deployed on the east coast were transferred to the Mexican border area, causing our  The number of fighter jets is far lower than the number of Japanese fighter jets. Therefore, our aviation force¡¯s counterattack cannot change the outcome!¡±

    After Lieutenant General Robert reported here, President Roosevelt couldn't help but frown slightly, and his eyes sharpened suddenly, but his tone was still very calm and he said: "Lieutenant General Robert, I don't want to hear that the east coast was attacked by Japanese air attacks.  Reasons and excuses, you don¡¯t need to explain!¡±

    "What I want to hear is the losses suffered by our troops when they resisted the bombing of the Japanese aircraft groups, and how much damage they caused to the Japanese!"

    Lieutenant General Robert's face immediately became as ugly as pig liver. He swallowed hard and said with a cold sweat on his forehead: "After about five hours of air strikes, we lost more than 170 fighter jets.  The number of casualties of the ground air defense forces is approximately more than 9,400. More than 1,000 anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, and now there are less than 300 left. The four naval and land-based aviation wings previously deployed on the east coast were completely wiped out.  !¡±

    "During the battle, a total of more than 40 Japanese combat aircraft were shot down and shot down!" His movements became smaller and smaller.

    The senior U.S. political officials who attended the meeting were all stunned by Lieutenant General Robert's words. In other words, there are no more American fighter jets on the east coast of the United States, and the ground air defense forces are no longer there.  There isn't much left. Doesn't that mean that the east coast is now almost undefended?

    What if the crazy Japanese launch another air raid of the same scale?

    The eyes of the military and political officials all looked at Ross, who couldn't hold back the pain in his eyes.??President.
