    "Bang!" With a sound, the tableware in Roosevelt's hand fell to the table. After this complete shock, the subconscious action and the rosy color on his face dissipated in an instant. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Jeff Field  The general, White House Chief of Staff Joelner, and several secretaries all held their breaths and looked at the President worriedly.

    "Mussolini is also involved!" Roosevelt said to himself, "We have another enemy!" After muttering, he started to eat breakfast very calmly, and did not seem to be affected by this shocking news.  mood?

    However, at this moment, Roosevelt's heart was already in chaos, and he was still trembling from the bottom of his bones. He was not too shocked that Italy joined the war against the United States. After all, Germany, Japan and Italy signed  The Axis powers of the Allies, faced with the United States, which is now obviously at a disadvantage, if Mussolini does not take the opportunity to step in and gain some benefits, he will not be Mussolini!

    What Roosevelt was most worried about was the situation he least wanted to see happen, which was for the three Axis countries to attack the United States at the same time. There was nothing terrible about the Italians getting involved. During the European battlefield, the U.S. Army  I have experienced the virtues of the Italian army. Compared with Germany and Japan, they are nothing more than a mangy dog ??and not something to be afraid of!

    If the Axis powers declare war on the United States at the same time, then coordinated military actions will be logical and reasonable. The consequence of this is that their plan to first repel the Japanese and then face the Germans will lose any effect!

    "It's really adding insult to injury! This declaration of war from the Axis powers will have a far greater psychological impact on the people of the United States than a piece of paper!" Roosevelt chewed bread in his mouth and thought as if it tasted like wax. "This declaration of war will definitely  It must have been the work of some lunatic Hitler! It was indeed vicious and insidious enough, and Hitler was already trying to destroy the Americans¡¯ will to resist before the war started on a large scale!¡±

    Under the watchful eyes of several subordinates.  Roosevelt finished his breakfast, which he had no idea what it tasted like, and waited for the irrelevant people to leave.  Roosevelt said to Jefferfield: "It's not surprising that the Italians joined the war against the United States, but this declaration of war has a huge impact on the domestic military morale and people's morale!"

    "Also, the most critical thing about whether the Axis powers will unify their military operations this time is that the three fascist countries have declared war on the United States at the same time. As for us, no country has expressed its attitude, even if it is superficial support. The United States claims to be  The headquarters of the Allied Powers is located, but there are no allies. This is the most tragic thing!¡±

    There was sadness in Roosevelt's tone, and General Jefferfield comforted him: "Mr. President, we are not so pessimistic. At least countries such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada will still stand up and express their support for us!"

    Such childish comfort.  Even Admiral Jefferfield himself did not believe that Britain, even its old home, was now gone. Apart from the royal family and the government-in-exile who had taken refuge in the United States, it was nothing but New Zealand. I am afraid that in today's world structure,  Not even the smallest chess piece, even if the New Zealanders let down their voices.  You can jump high and make a lot of noise, but no one can hear you!

    Even if you hear it.  Also murmur, as for Canada.  He is just a follower and little brother of the United States. I am afraid that the movement of his words is not much greater than that of New Zealand. Looking around the world, compared with the luxurious lineup of the Axis Powers, the United States really does not have a strong and important ally, a dignified world power,  The powerful United States has managed to get to where it is today, and Jefferfield can't help but feel a sense of sadness and sadness!

    Roosevelt naturally said that his loyal subordinates were comforting himself, but this comfort made him even more sad. He did not want to talk further on this issue, so he changed the subject and asked: "Jeffrey, the Axis Powers' declaration of war.  It has been issued for more than an hour. What is the attitude of Tang Qiuli of China? After all, he is a member of the Allied Powers and serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces Headquarters! "

    Roosevelt knew very well that in the world now, the only person who has the ability and weight to stand up and support the United States, and who has a huge role, is the actual ruler of China, Tang Qiuli. If the Chinese speak out, it will be better than a  Thousands of small characters like New Zealand and Canada!

    Tang Qiuli did not need to do anything. As long as he ordered the Japanese division troops in Indochina to assume a posture of attacking the islands in the Southwest Pacific and kill the Japanese, he would not dare to do anything on the west coast of the United States under such circumstances.  What kind of landing operation? If the United States faces the Germans, it still has a slight chance of winning. It can even use the advantage of local operations to drag the Germans to death!

    "As a member of the Allies, Tang Qiuli must stand up on behalf of the Chinese government and express his attitude. This is a responsibility and an obligation!" Roosevelt was even a little angry. It seemed that if Tang Qiuli did not side with the Americans, he would  As if it's treasonous and disrespectful to all the American people?

    With Roosevelt¡¯s policy?Experience and ability, he shouldn't have thought so, but when faced with the Axis Powers' declaration of war, it was obvious that he had lost his sense of proportion and lost his previous wisdom and shrewdness.

    General Jefferfield hesitated and replied: "Mr. President, after seeing the Axis Powers' declaration of war, in the name of the Chief of Staff of the United States Supreme Wartime Command, I sent a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Military Commission of the Chinese Government, respectively.  and Tang Qiuli, send a telegram, hoping that they will express their attitude towards the Axis Powers¡¯ declaration of war!¡±

    "How did they reply?" President Roosevelt asked eagerly, regardless of praising his subordinates' ability to do things. The attitude of Chiang Zhongzheng, the nominal number one figure in the Chinese government, is irrelevant. Even if he supports the United States, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Who can  I don¡¯t know, the current Chinese government is just empty-handed. The most important thing is Tang Qiuli¡¯s attitude!

    With a hint of bitterness on his face, Jefferfield replied: "Chiang Zhongzheng responded immediately. His attitude was very clear. He strongly condemned the Axis Powers' declaration of war against the United States and stated that the government of the Republic of China firmly  Standing on the side of the United States and fighting the fascist invasion together is the responsibility and obligation of the Allied Powers!¡±

    "However, Chiang Zhongzheng also stated in his reply that this was only his personal attitude. Based on his personal feelings with the U.S. government, all matters related to the Chinese government's foreign operations were fully entrusted to Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. Tang Qiuli,  Qiu Li¡¯s attitude is the attitude of the National Government!¡±

    The Chairman of the Generalissimo is quite clever at playing this game. He knows how much weight he has. In the current National Government, if Tang Qiuli leaves Tang Qiuli for any major external affairs, he will not be able to do anything. Even if he is against  Americans are very emotional, but emotions also require strength. How can beggars help billionaires?

    He used his hard-earned family fortune, the Central Army, to express his deep feelings for the Americans. He was not that stupid. Now, the National Government's major concern is the growing power of the Communist Party, but this does not prevent the General Secretary  , sold the Americans an empty favor, and then pushed the difficult things to Tang Qiuli's head, killing two birds with one stone!

    The urgency in Roosevelt's eyes became even more intense, "Chiang Zhongzheng's attitude is not important, what is important is Tang Qiuli's attitude!" He stared at Jefferfield and said.

    "So far, Tang Qiuli has not responded to the telegram!" Jefferfield replied with great frustration.

    Roosevelt's eyes flashed, and he ordered hurriedly: "Jeffrey, in the name of the U.S. government, you immediately send another telegram to Tang Qiuli to explain what we need most now! It's moral support.  , is to fulfill the obligations of the Allies!¡±

    Indochina, Yangon, ** Division Commander, in the office, Tang Qiuli looked at the second telegram from the Americans and smiled playfully. Deputy Division Commander Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, Chief of Staff Major General Zhao Yuhe and  Colonel Chen Feng, director of the division's communications department, was also there, and the atmosphere in the room was very relaxed.

    After Tang Qiuli read the telegram, he handed it to Tang Qiusheng. Tang Qiusheng glanced at it and said in his usual unhurried tone: "Americans are attacked everywhere, and Roosevelt is ill and has to seek medical treatment! He is very smart, knowing that you are here  The weight in the National Government is not sought by the General Committee Chairman, but by you, division commander, what do you think?"

    "What do you think? What does the Americans getting angry have to do with us?" Tang Qiuli smiled coldly and said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, call the Americans back. President Roosevelt, as far as I, Tang Qiuli, are concerned,  , the relationship with the United States is far from harmonious. You must be well aware of what your General MacArthur did when he was stationed in the Southwest Pacific, so I won¡¯t go into details!¡±

    "In all fairness, the current China has been poor and weak for more than a hundred years. It has no ability to care about the outside world, let alone the intention to participate in the disputes among the world's powerful countries. It can only devote itself to improving the domestic people's livelihood, even though it is a member of the Allies.  , but it is also powerless to deal with the war happening far across the Pacific. Therefore, the Chinese government maintains a neutral attitude towards the Axis powers¡¯ declaration of war on the United States and does not make any statement!¡±

    "Brother Qiusheng! Is it appropriate to reply to the Americans like this?" After Tang Qiuli dictated the message, he asked his cousin with a smile.

    Tang Qiusheng couldn't help laughing, "Commander, you are pouring a bucket of cold water on Roosevelt! He should have a high fever, but why did you single out MacArthur?" He was very confused.

    "It's just that that guy is not pleasing to the eye! Let Roosevelt give MacArthur some trouble!" Tang Qiuli said easily, "Brother Qiusheng, when we first entered the Indochina Peninsula, MacArthur was doing a lot of tricks and stumbling blocks behind his back.  Ah, I, Tang Qiuli, have always been a vengeful person!"

    This is just what Tang Qiuli said on the surface. In fact, whether now or in later generations, he has absolutely no good impression of MacArthur, who hated China until his death. With the help of Roosevelt, he letMacArthur will never stand up, he is just taking advantage of others.

    He can guarantee that after seeing his call back, Roosevelt was thinking of strangling MacArthur to death!
