    In the large conference hall of the U.S. Capitol, the President of the Senate, known as the "political tumbler" in American politics, was speaking highly of President Roosevelt, his contribution to the United States, and his achievements in a solemn tone and with a solemn look on his face.  Great achievements.

    After Mr. Speaker finished his words, impatient members of both houses voted unanimously to pass a motion to accommodate President Roosevelt's retiring. Then Truman, acting as Vice President, would take the stage.  Deliver a speech to all MPs.

    Acting President Truman, who was sitting in the background, was extremely nervous and extremely excited. He looked at the speech in his hand over and over again. Of course, the content of the speech had been controlled by major interest groups in the United States.  With the permission of the disciple,

    He is ready to make his political debut with the fullest spirit and passionate language. The United States is about to start its own era. Roosevelt will gradually become a thing of the past and be lost in the dust of history!

    He had received definite news that he was about to be persuaded by members of both houses of Congress to take care of his body. Roosevelt would naturally not appear in the large conference hall of the Capitol. He was lying on the hospital bed, with a calm face, listening to what was coming from the radio.  Live broadcast of the joint meeting of the two houses of Congress.

    Of course, Roosevelt knew what this honor was about. After hearing the speaker of Congress's heavenly praise for him on the radio that day, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought to himself: "I'm quite decent."  Leaving the American political stage, those who want to step down have taken great pains!" There was sarcasm in his wry smile.

    Joel Na, the White House chief of staff, has always been by his side and never left him, seeing Roosevelt's expression.  Somewhat strangely, he hurriedly whispered: "Mr. President, are you feeling uncomfortable there? Do you want to turn off the radio?" He did so.  I don¡¯t want Mr. President to receive any stimulation!

    "No need, Joelna. When I am about to leave the American political stage, it is also very interesting to hear some people's performances!" Roosevelt opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

    In the large conference hall of the Capitol Building, the President of the Senate finally finished his long and unsatisfactory speech. It was time to vote, and it was time for this drama to come to an end. "Now I announce. The voting has begun!" Mr. Speaker dragged his voice.  A long voice sounded in the large conference hall.

    Suddenly, a shrill siren echoed over Washington. At first, it sounded in one or two places, then sirens began to sound in many places, and then the entire city of Washington was shrouded in shrill, piercing sirens.

    The vote was interrupted by the sudden siren.  More than a thousand members of both houses of Congress looked at each other, wondering what was going on.  They were all whispering to each other, and less than ten minutes later, violent explosions were clearly heard in the large conference hall. At this time, the congressmen finally understood what happened!

    Washington was hit by an air raid. The sudden air raid frightened the congressmen who had been boasting just now.  Sitting transfixed in his seat, he looked at the U.S. Capitol Building in downtown Washington.  It is the tallest and most obvious landmark building, and before the council members began to react.  The explosion of the bomb had already sounded on the top of the building, and the violent vibration finally made these well-dressed congressmen react.

    At this time, an officer in charge of the security of the Capitol stumbled in and shouted: "Air raid siren! Air raid siren! German planes are raiding Washington. Everyone, get out of here and take cover immediately!"

    Suddenly, there was an extreme chaos in the large conference hall. The MPs, who were usually elegant and gentlemanly, were bumping into each other like headless chickens, scrambling for their lives. Some older MPs with weak legs and feet were thrown into the air.  The chaotic crowd collapsed to the ground, and then countless pairs of feet wearing leather shoes stepped hard on their bodies.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" One after another, heavy aerial bombs fell on the roof of the Capitol and in the courtyard, sending up smoke, dust and fire into the sky. Many members of Congress rushed out of the conference hall.  They all fell into the whirling shrapnel, and their broken limbs flew into the air.

    This morning was the beginning of a disaster for people in the eastern United States. On this day, German naval carrier-based aircraft and the German naval land-based air force on the Greater Antilles dispatched a total of more than 2,000 aircraft.  Fighters and bombers carried out indiscriminate bombings on all large and medium-sized cities in the eastern United States.

    Major cities on the east coast starting from Tallahassee, Montgomery, Atlanta, Columbia, Richmond, and Dover in the south to Boston in the north were all within the bombing range of the German naval fleet, with Washington being the key bombing target.  , and the U.S. Capitol Building is one of the targets that must be destroyed!

    On this day, IThe eastern part of the United States, far away from the flames of war, is shrouded in fire and smoke. Alarms are heard frequently and explosions are roaring everywhere. The city trembles and groans in the fire and smoke. Houses collapse, ruins are everywhere, and citizens are  In the explosion, it turned into a pile of broken pieces!

    The cities and their residents in the eastern United States were moaning, trembling, trembling, dying and destroyed. President Roosevelt, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard the violent explosions coming from outside the window. His originally calm face suddenly changed.  There was a drastic change, and his lifeless eyes suddenly shot out with gleaming light, as if his body was suddenly infused with infinite life and vitality, and he murmured to himself: "The Germans are really coming, they are finally here!  "

    "Joelner, get me through to Lieutenant General Desker, the air defense commander of the Eastern Regional Defense Command, right away!" Roosevelt ordered loudly.

    Joelna was about to talk on the phone. At the same time, he said to Roosevelt: "Mr. President, this is a large-scale air raid by the Germans. Can you hide temporarily? It is too dangerous!"

    "No, Joelna, at this time, I must fulfill my duties as the supreme commander of the US Army!" Roosevelt said stubbornly, taking the call, "I am Roosevelt, Lieutenant General Desker, and I order the Eastern Defense Command to take off immediately.  All combat aircraft, launch an all-out counterattack against the German aircraft that attacked!"

    "Yes, don't worry about casualties. Your casualties are worth the minimum losses in the eastern region! Also, order the ground air defense forces to protect important targets at all costs. I will go to the highest wartime headquarters immediately  . What? A congressional proposal! I must remind you that I am still the President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States!"

    "My orders must be carried out immediately! What? You have received orders from Vice President Truman I am officially informing you, Lieutenant General Desker, that you are suspended, let the Deputy Commander  Lieutenant General Buckson."

    President Roosevelt's voice was firm and majestic, with a rather calm air. Soon, Lieutenant General Buckson, the deputy commander of Eastern Air Defense, accepted the president's order. Lieutenant General Desk, who was stupid and couldn't tell the difference between a king and a king.  General, stood aside.

    "Joelna, prepare the car, I want to rush to the wartime headquarters immediately!" After putting down the phone, Roosevelt said to Joelna with a sickly red face.

    Joelna was horrified and tried his best to dissuade him: "Mr. President, German planes are conducting air strikes. It will be very dangerous for you to go to the headquarters at this moment! I must be responsible for your safety!"

    "Joelna, execute my order!" Roosevelt said firmly.

    Ten minutes later, several cars drove out of the hospital gate, braving the rain of bullets from German planes, and rushed towards the U.S. Supreme War Headquarters. At this time, there were already American fighter jets in the sky, fighting with the German army.  Escort fighters are engaged in air combat!

    The current U.S. Capitol Building has almost become a hell on earth. The bombs of German bombers have almost razed this magnificent and tall building to the ground. Those members of Congress are now disappearing or groaning amidst the smoke and flames, ruins and loud noises.  .

    On the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of the United States, the German naval commander, Admiral D?nitz, was standing in the command cabin of the flagship, with an excited smile on his face, watching the carrier-based aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier on the deck runway.  Leap up and rush into the blue sky. This is the second batch of bombers and fighter jets taking off, prepared for the US land-based fleet!

    The air raid carried out by the German Navy on the east coast of the United States was an opportunity that Admiral D?nitz strived for in front of the head of state Hitler. The Army's achievements on the North American battlefield greatly stimulated the German Navy.  Speaking of the head of the German Navy, the German Navy is quite useless. European wars are mainly fought on land, and the Navy has no place to play.

    Compared with Germany's army and air force on the European battlefield, the navy's performance was mediocre and lackluster. In addition, Germany was a traditional army power and did not pay much attention to the navy, especially under the leadership of the original Imperial Marshal and Air Force Commander-in-Chief.  Under Goering's suppression, the navy was reduced to a dispensable role!

    Admiral D?nitz remembered with painstaking care that the pot-bellied Reich Marshal actually placed all naval carrier-based aircraft units and land-based aviation units under the air force's order of operations. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

    Fortunately, the former Reich Marshal G?ring who once shouted, "Everything flying in the German sky belongs to the Luftwaffe!" eventually fell into the hands of the F¨¹hrer's old friend, the Chinese Tang Qiuli.  .

    From then on, the German Navy concentrated on development, and finally saved enough capital. Although it was not much, it was enough for Admiral D?nitz to use this most direct method to bring the war to the people of the eastern United States, and at the same time declare the German Navy's  Exist and rise!

    In addition to excitement, DunniThe admiral also lamented that this opportunity for the navy to make its debut was hard-won. "D?nitz, if you were given this opportunity, where in the United States would the navy choose to start?" This was the head of state expressing his strong desire for war.  The first thing you ask after making a wish!
