In 1945, in addition to the dizzying changes in the world war situation, the death of an important figure also added a particularly mysterious aspect to the history of this year.
On May 29, 1945, a major event that had been postponed for a month compared to Xunbo and Zhou Tao happened as scheduled in the United States. On this day, Franklin Delano, the only president in the history of the United States to be re-elected for four consecutive terms, Roosevelt passed away due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Although, because the souls of a pair of young lovers traveled into this world, the world pattern changed dramatically. Roosevelt did not achieve as brilliantly as he did in another life. Even in his later years, he left some regrets in his life because of his misjudgments. However, this old man who devoted himself to the United States still gained the respect of the world.
Even though the world is still in war, people still use various ways to commemorate this figure who had a decisive influence on the development of the world.
After Roosevelt passed away, Vice President Truman succeeded him as president. What Truman faced was not a good situation. Although the United States had lost an enemy named Japan in the Pacific region, the United States did not have any Yan Mian said that he had achieved this great victory. In the process of fighting Japan, the United States basically became a victim and a bystander.
In the end, when the entire Pacific region fell into China's sphere of influence, the United States suddenly realized that it, like Japan, had become an actor in this shocking drama that took place in the Pacific region over the years. A supporting role that is not exciting and even somewhat tragic.
When the curtain fell, not only did our country fail to gain any benefits, but even its traditional sphere of influence in Central America had changed hands. In its own backyard, a powerful and unified country like the Federal Republic of China and the United States emerged. Countries and regions in South America such as Brazil, Chile, and Argentina have also begun the process of unification and independence under the leadership of the Organization of South American Unification. It is estimated that the Federal Republic of South America will also be formally established in the near future.
If we talk about the Pacific region, the only thing that did not make Truman feel particularly miserable was that several countries that emerged in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region all implemented the path of free market capitalism, including the Federal Republic of Nanyang, the Federal Republic of Australia, and the Commonwealth of China and the United States. Republic.
Even countries such as the Federal Republic of India, the Arab Federal Republic, and the Federal Republic of Africa, which have emerged in the Indian Ocean and African regions in recent years, have also moved towards the path of free market capitalism.
Although these newly emerging countries almost all have one thing in common, they have strengthened the state¡¯s control over basic resources such as land, mines, and energy. As well as infrastructure and special industries that affect people's livelihood and national security, they have all achieved nationalization. However, in the vast civilian market, they still follow the path of free marketization. In this way, the original pattern will not continue for the world. It will have too big an impact, but it will greatly reduce the opportunity for the United States to obtain cheap energy.
Although the establishment of these countries has greatly affected the capital plundering policy of the United States, it has objectively inhibited the possibility of a powerful country like China dominating the world.
Facing this kind of feeling, Truman felt a little more at ease.
But when Truman set his sights on Europe, his slightly relieved heart immediately became tangled.
The two battlefields in Europe and Germany have now completely become meat grinders and bottomless pits.
A large number of Allied soldiers will die on these two battlefields, and a large amount of war materials will be consumed on these two battlefields. If this war continues for a few more years, then the world will completely belong to China and several other countries. A newly rising power. If these countries can develop in a peaceful environment for a few more years, there will be no room for survival and development for traditional European and American powers like ourselves.
It was with such complex emotions that Truman took over the American business left by Roosevelt.
Having the same thoughts as Truman also includes the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and other countries. After experiencing painful wars in recent years, these countries are now on the verge of collapse. But they still have to work hard to fight against Germany.
Similarly, Germany is not having an easy time now. It can even be said that it is also facing the edge of collapse. On the Eastern Front, although the Soviets have lost a lot of vigor, they are causing trouble to themselves in all aspects. Make it difficult for your troops to escape.
¡°In the two battlefields of Italy and Normandy on the Western Front, it was also like a meat grinder for Germany, with a large number of soldiers and supplies filling it every day. This situation also made many Germans who originally firmly supported Hitler become dissatisfied with Hitler.
July 1945In 1944, a dramatic scene happened. Different from Xunbo and later generations, an operation to assassinate Hitler that originally took place in July 1944 was postponed to July 1945. The effect of this operation was , but they are completely different.
Stauffenberg was born into an aristocratic family in Germany in 1907. His father was a general in the German Royal Army. He grew up in a privileged living environment and attended aristocratic primary and secondary schools.
Before Hitler came to power, he graduated from the German Military Academy and joined the Wehrmacht soon after.
In the early days, Stauffenberg was an admirer of the Nazis. He greatly appreciated Hitler's statement about the pure German nation and was proud to fight for Hitler.
¡°Even when he got married, he wore a military uniform. He said that soldiers are soldiers at all times, and weddings are no exception.
During his wedding vacation, he chose to go to Rome to attend the ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of Mussolini¡¯s reign.
Stauffenberg was highly educated, intelligent, capable, and had strong organizational skills. He was quickly promoted to a senior officer. But he slowly began to be deeply dissatisfied and disgusted with the tyranny of the Nazis, especially Hitler's military madness.
As Germany reached a stalemate with the Allies in the Soviet Union, Italy and Normandy battlefields in the past two years, thousands of German soldiers died in other places, but Hitler became even more insistent.
From this point on Stauffenberg often said, I must take action to save our country, and the only way is to get rid of Hitler.
Through the introduction of a friend, Stauffenberg met members of the anti-Nazi group in the army. They were a group of German soldiers who hated the Nazis and were plotting to assassinate Hitler.
Since then, Stauffenberg has actively participated in the preparations for the assassination of Hitler. Their plan was to get rid of Hitler, take over the government, form a provisional agency headed by General Baker, negotiate with the anti-fascist allies, and sign a peace treaty.
Stauffenberg was seriously injured in a battle in Italy in 1943. A cannonball blew off his right hand, leaving him with only three fingers on his left hand and complete blindness in his right eye.
Because of his correct command and heroic combat, he was highly appreciated by Hitler. Hitler once praised him as a thoughtful and rational commander. So no one would suspect that Stauffenberg was doing something "bad".
On July 1, 1945, Stauffenberg was appointed as the supreme commander of the domestic garrison headquarters, which gave him the opportunity to contact Hitler. Since the beginning of July, Stauffenberg had been keeping explosives in his briefcase. Be prepared to play it by ear and blow up Hitler.
In mid-July, he had direct contact with Hitler three times, but because Hitler's right-hand men Goering and Himmler were not present, he did not make up his mind to take action because the anti-Nazi group insisted on killing Hitler and his main battle cadres.
On July 20th, Stauffenberg will go to the "Wolf's Den" again to discuss the redeployment issue for the Eastern Campaign. This is the fourth time he has come here in a few weeks to discuss various options. Stauffenberg was determined to kill Hitler no matter what this time.
At eight o'clock in the morning on July 20, 1945, Stauffenberg boarded a military plane from Berlin to a Nazi command post in a remote Polish forest named "Wolf's Den", which was surrounded by landmines. There are guards and wolfhounds watching.
At 10:30, the plane landed at the "Wolf's Den" military airport. Stauffenberg's briefcase passed through three sentries and entered the center of the "Wolf's Den". Two bombs weighing 1,950 grams were hidden in this briefcase. The officers who attended the military meeting hosted by Hitler personally sat together and ate a sumptuous breakfast.
The meeting is expected to start at 13:00 noon, and Stauffenberg must activate the ignition device of the time bomb before the meeting, so that the bomb will detonate fifteen minutes later.
This time, because Hitler had no plans to meet with Mussolini, he did not hold the meeting in advance as he had done in later history. Instead, he started the meeting at 13 o'clock as originally planned. Stauffenberg also prepared very calmly. .
He hid in a certain location and started assembling the bomb. Stauffenberg assembled the two bombs and rushed to the conference room.
Stauffenberg was often late for meetings, and this time he came late without attracting anyone's attention. He took the initiative to shake hands with Hitler who was speaking, and placed the briefcase containing two bombs in front of the table leg next to Hitler. Two minutes later, Shi left the conference room on the pretext of making a phone call.
A few minutes later, there was a loud bang, and the conference room was enveloped in smoke and dust. Debris flew everywhere, and shouts broke out. Several officers were blown to pieces, and one officer was thrown out of the window by the steam wave. Nine of the twenty-four people who attended the meeting died on the spot. Half of the cement roof collapsed and a large crater exploded in the floor. However, Hitler, Goering and others were also killed in the explosion.
