- !The United States finally declared war on Japan, and a behemoth was awakened. !
Although it seems that they achieved remarkable results in the Pearl Harbor attack, they will never know what terrible things they will face next.
At the same time, it is strange that the United States only declared war on Japan alone.
It declared war alone, did not declare joining the Allies, and did not declare war on Germany. This is a completely incomprehensible decision.
Maybe there are only three people who know the answer:
Ernst. Brahm, Roosevelt, Churchill.
The United States will not declare war on Germany until the German army stops attacking the British army. Now the United States needs Germany, and even more needs the invincible "God of Peace" Baron Alexson.
Before Japan decided to launch a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Baron Alexson had solemnly warned Roosevelt, but for domestic reasons, President Roosevelt did not tell his own people about this advance knowledge. After the attack, Baron Alexon also remained silent.
He did not say that President Roosevelt already knew the truth about the sneak attack, and that the United States could have made preparations in advance to avoid the nightmare of a large number of American officers and soldiers dying.
He said nothing.
On the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the German government and Baron Alexson issued a solemn statement immediately: They condemned Japan's despicable and shameless attack, and they condemned everything the Japanese government had done. They also mourned the casualties of American soldiers and civilians at Pearl Harbor.
The U.S. government and President Roosevelt expressed their gratitude to the German government six hours later, and nothing more.
But, this is enough.
Churchill also clearly saw these situations. He knew very well why the US government did this and the tacit understanding between the United States and Germany.
Now, it¡¯s time for a truce.
Baron Alexson, Wang Weiyi, seemed to be very calm. He only had some brief exchanges with Churchill about the attack on Pearl Harbor, and then seemed to have no performance at all.
Churchill and his government immediately threw themselves into countermeasures for war between the United States and Japan, and had no time to continue discussing the issue of German-British relations with Baron Alexson.
Wang Weiyi also enjoys his leisure time. He still has many friends in London. Such as General Rosen, such as Sir Monlington. It would be nice to take advantage of this time to visit these old friends.
Especially Sir Monlington, whom we had not seen for many years after the First World War.
Sir Monlington is a nostalgic person. He always remembers what Baron Alexson did on the battlefield. He always thinks that Baron Alexson is one of the few true gentlemen in Germany. And precisely because of the existence of Baron Alexon, Sir Monlington gradually became a pro-German faction.
After the outbreak of World War II, Sir Monlington was also the most resolutely opposed to war with Germany and an influential figure in Britain.
When he saw Baron Alexon again, Sir Monlington actually greeted him personally, which was really a rare thing for the Sir who had not seen him in recent years.
And General Rosen, who was twice captured by the Skeleton Baron and released twice by the Skeleton Baron, also welcomed the Baron's arrival.
General Rosen was not ashamed of his two captures. Instead, he was full of pride. It was precisely because of these two captures that General Rosen also became a legend in the UK.
Those who don¡¯t know the real inside story always like to use their imagination to make up some legendary stories. In this regard, the serious British are no exception, and are even more full of fantasy than people in other European countries. ¡¤Or to be more precise, it is their pride that makes them do this.
In the British version, General Rosen is the only great general in the world who was able to escape from the Skeleton Baron twice!
Note, it¡¯s worldwide!
There is no country in Europe that does not know the myth of Baron Skeleton's invincibility. It is simply impossible to defeat him on the battlefield. However, after fighting against him twice, he was able to successfully defeat him twice without dying, and escaped from the Skeleton Baron twice. This made General Rosen a British "myth".
Therefore, General Rosen not only cannot resent Baron Alexon, but should also be full of gratitude to him¡§
Wang Weiyi, Monlington and Rosen met under such circumstances.
¡°I still remember the battle on the Somme."Sir Monlington seemed to be a nostalgic person. He said with some emotion: "That day, Rosen came back and told me that he and the wounded were released. I couldn't believe it at all. There was no such thing on the battlefield. Such a person, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was completely shocked. God, they really came back. A German officer fearlessly appeared in the British military camp with his help. Lord Baron, can you tell me what you really thought at that time? "
"We are just the executors of the war, Sir Monlington." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "On the battlefield, I will not hesitate to kill every enemy I can see, but when the battle is over, I will not Shooting prisoners, this is a good moral character that an upright person should abide by. But unfortunately, when I came back twenty years later, I found that these good moral qualities had completely disappeared, and there were no more gentlemen like before in the war. People are fighting like wild animals, without any grace at all.
A large number of prisoner of war camps were established, and many people were tortured and abused. No one knew when they would die, and no one knew what they would get tomorrow. "
"But" Sir Monlington interrupted Wang Weiyi: "You still released Rosen and some British officers again."
Wang Weiyi said thoughtfully: "Although the rules of engagement we abided by before have been destroyed and can no longer be seen, there are always people who maintain the last bit of dignity. Such people will be ridiculed, but someone must go Do, and I think that poor guy is me.¡±
"Rosen, Rosen, did you hear that? Ernst, who was known as the Skeleton Baron on the battlefield, now actually calls himself a pitiful person." Sir Monlington sighed: "But, this is exactly what I am A very important reason for respecting Baron Skeleton so much is that nobles have become increasingly rare in continental Europe. Even in Britain, real nobles have almost disappeared. What they wear is just a noble hat. They mean nothing at all. They should bear the responsibility, but what makes me happy is that after all, Ernst Brahm is maintaining our traditional order and maintaining our traditional dignity."
Wang Weiyi can understand Sir Monlington¡¯s emotion.
In fact, Churchill could not be recognized by the traditional British aristocracy. Therefore, during the Second World War, Churchill's various policies were resisted and restrained. If it were not for the intense war in Britain, perhaps Churchill would have stepped down from his position as prime minister. .
He was evaluated as a "stubborn, arrogant, stupid countryman". Such a person's foundation is not stable at all, and this is why Churchill lost the election as Prime Minister as soon as the Second World War ended. This is a very important issue. reason.
The common people were dissatisfied with his policies and the serious damage to British power in World War II, but the British upper class did not accept this man at all.
Tradition - is the most important thing for the upper class figures headed by Sir Monlington.
"You have met Prime Minister Churchill. What impression do you have of him?" Sir Mollington suddenly asked at this time.
Wang Weiyi thought for a moment and answered perfunctorily: "A good person."
"Really? Is this what you really think, Baron?" Sir Monlington smiled slightly: "I don't think so. A smoker always likes to stuff his pipe again and again, and then throw away the tobacco that falls on the table. A person who wipes his face on the ground has no self-cultivation at all. I hope that he will not bring you any unpleasantness when you meet. "
Wang Weiyi smiled. With British temperament, it would be best not to get involved in their prime minister's comments. They can criticize their own prime minister, but they cannot accept criticism from a foreigner.
Lord Mollington probably knew this too, and he did not force Wang Weiyi to continue to answer: "I also know about Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. These stupid Japanese actually angered the Americans at this time. I think it happened in The war in Asia will probably end soon. What about the war in Europe? Mr. Baron, when do you think the war in Europe will end?"
"Two years, two years at most." Wang Weiyi answered with certainty.
Sir Monlington smiled half-heartedly: "So, will the war between Germany and Britain continue for another two years?"
There was a light in his eyes like an old fox. Wang Weiyi remained calm: "I think the war between Germany and Britain has almost progressed by now. I told Prime Minister Churchill, and I might as well say it to you again now. I This time I come with the desire for peace, and I am willing to seek complete peace with Britain, and I am even willing to make concessions for the sake of peace.¡±
Sir Monlington was not surprised at all, as if he had known that the other party would say this: "??, I am old and I don¡¯t know many things anymore. It turns out that Germany and the UK are negotiating. Ah, I guess this must be a secret negotiation? So, who are you targeting in the two-year war? Baron, can you tell me about this old man? "
