    After Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie walked into the manor where Roosevelt was recuperating, he felt the worried expressions on the faces of the Americans coming and going in the manor. The mood that was already heavy and breathless became more depressed and dull.

    I came to Duluth to ask Roosevelt for advice. After the damn Chinese troops landed in the northwest region of Canada, they made great progress. In just over two weeks, they captured nearly half of Canada's rivers and mountains.  If this continues, Canada will not be far from national subjugation.

    Now Mackenzie hates Tang Qiuli extremely, even more than Hitler. No matter what, the German army has not launched an attack in Canada. This is because he has the courage and ability to kill more than 80% of the troops.  The Canadian army has concentrated along the US-Canada border and is confident of fighting alongside the US military. However, the attack launched by the Chinese is tantamount to a stab in the back.

    The purpose of McKenzie's meeting with Roosevelt was to inform the Americans that he must deploy more than 50% of his troops from the U.S-Canada border area to Ontario in the south of the Hudson Bay and Manitoba in the southwest.  Two lines of defense were established in the two places to block the fierce attack of the independent division troops. Otherwise, in two weeks, those Chinese soldiers would have reached Ottawa.

    McKenzie knew that it would be difficult to withdraw so many Canadian troops from the battlefield when the German troops were pressing down on the border. It would cause the U.S. Northeastern Defense Line and the Eastern Defense Line, which had been able to remain basically stable, to completely collapse.  Compared with the danger of national subjugation faced by Canada, this is a dilemma.

    The Americans are finished, and Canada cannot survive alone. Canada is occupied by the squadron, and the outcome of the United States is not much better. Mackenzie places her hope in the wise Roosevelt.  They were able to come up with a best-of-both-worlds strategy, but Roosevelt fell ill and gave him a trip to Duluth.  Cast a shadow.

    Mackenzie sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, worried.  Jonathan, the President's Chief of Staff, walked in and said with a sad expression: "Mr. Prime Minister, President Roosevelt invites you to come to his ward!"

    Mackenzie walked into the ward with heavy steps and looked at Roosevelt lying on the hospital bed. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was rising and falling weakly with his breathing, he would have almost thought he was lying on the hospital bed.  He is a dead person. "This is a person whose fire of life can be extinguished at any time!" McKenzie sighed inwardly.

    Jonathan lay next to Roosevelt's ear and whispered a few words. Roosevelt opened his eyes. After seeing Mackenzie, his eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed, and he said in a weak voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, welcome to Duluth. It's a pity.  Unfortunately, I can only greet you while lying on the hospital bed!"

    ??The war is raging in Canada, and cities and lands have been lost.  The military situation was extremely urgent. Mackenzie did not care about politeness or Roosevelt's current physical condition, and said: "Mr. President, I rushed over from Ottawa in a hurry because the Chinese Tang Qiuli's troops are frantically attacking Canada"

    Before Mackenzie finished speaking, Roosevelt waved his hands with difficulty, his face so pale that there was no trace of blood.  He showed a bitter expression and said in a weak voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, there is no need to say anything. My chief of staff, Jeffere, has already informed me of the entire situation!"

    "Mr. President, do you have any countermeasures?" McKenzie asked eagerly.

    "What I'm most worried about is that after Japan's subjugation, Tang Qiuli will be free to join forces with Hitler on the North American battlefield!" Roosevelt seemed not to notice Mackenzie's words, and said to himself, "Now, the things I'm worried about are finally over.  It happened. The United States cannot provide enough benefits to impress the greedy and cunning Chinese and side with the United States. Yes, it cannot provide it"

    Mackenzie was silent. He could see that Roosevelt was in a trance.

    It took a long time for Roosevelt to wake up. He didn't seem to know what he had just said, and he seemed to know the purpose of MacKenzie's visit. He said in an unusually tired voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, I know your purpose of coming, but I am very sorry. There is nothing I can do."  , fight, we can only fight to the end, fight with the Germans and Chinese"

    The following words were so vague that Mackenzie did not hear them clearly. At this moment, Roosevelt had closed his eyes and fell into a trance again. Mackenzie stood beside the hospital bed, watching silently, even though this man  He was a man in a wheelchair who was still feared and admired. Now that he was in this state, he bowed deeply and left silently with tears in his eyes.

    A few hours after Mackenzie left Duluth, Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, passed away in an ordinary manor on the outskirts of the wartime capital of Duluth in February 1943.  The time of death in history was more than a year earlier.

    ??And the current situation in the United States is even more extreme than that of the United States at the end of World War II in history.Roosevelt in history passed away with the aura of being about to end World War II and becoming one of the three giants in the world. But now, he is facing the fate of the United States that is about to be destroyed, and he is unable to save it and has no way to recover.  He passed away with eternal regret and unwillingness to do anything.

    When Roosevelt died quietly, it was discovered by White House Chief of Staff Jonathan. By the time he saw it, Roosevelt had stopped breathing and did not leave any last words or suicide note.

    Roosevelt's sudden death made the already precarious United States even more shaky. According to the U.S. Constitution, Truman, then the Vice President of the United States, was hit by a lucky golden egg and took over as President of the United States, becoming the 33rd person in American history.  As president, the current United States is no longer the United States that used the power of the victors in World War II to command old Europe.

    The Vice President of the United States, who was listed as one of the four pests by the Chinese at that time, along with fleas, rats, and cockroaches, because he initiated the Korean War, was originally an inconspicuous role. According to American political tradition, the Vice President  He has always been a shadow figure. If Roosevelt had not died suddenly, he might not have ascended to the throne of the President of the United States in his lifetime.

    When he saw the U.S. military and political officials coming to congratulate him in person, Truman couldn't believe his eyes and ears. His sudden joy, fear and discomfort at suddenly rising to a higher position made him look clumsy.

    After adapting to the role and calming down his ecstasy, Truman calmed down and became bitter. What he inherited was definitely a mess. The United States now is like a broken ship leaking everywhere and swaying in the storm. It may capsize at any time.  .

    Millions of German Army soldiers are launching a fierce attack on the eastern defense line of the United States, and more than one million Chinese Army soldiers are also attacking Canada under the command of Tang Qiuli.  A fatal stab in the back.

    In this regard, Truman asked himself that he was no better than his predecessor Roosevelt. Facing the two-sided attack by the Chinese and German armies, he was also helpless. He wisely handed over the command of the US Army to the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and the US Supreme Wartime Command.  Chief of Staff General Jeff Field, he is self-aware on military issues, and I am afraid he does not know much more than a commander of the US Army.

    Truman did not think about changing the strategy formulated by Roosevelt, nor did he have any smarter means than Roosevelt to sail the broken ship of the United States out of the rough and dangerous shoals. The United States changed its president, but everything remained the same, and it did not escape national subjugation.  fate.

    The single most correct and wise thing Truman did was to keep the news of Roosevelt's death secret, limiting it to senior U.S. government officials, and canceling all the ceremonies for his inauguration as the 33rd President of the United States.  It is clear that once the news of Roosevelt's death spreads, Americans will immediately collapse psychologically. He asked himself whether he could still shoulder the important task of being the spiritual pillar of Americans.

    Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie heard the sad news of Roosevelt's death just a few days after returning to the country. He did not have time to rush to Duluth in person to pay homage to Roosevelt. Canada was now on the verge of national destruction. He endured the panic in his heart and tried to bury Roosevelt.  As the Prime Minister of the Canadian government, he issued a national emergency mobilization order, and the entire country of Canada entered a state of war.

    After weighing the pros and cons, Mackenzie did not transfer the main force of the Canadian army back to the mainland from the eastern front of the United States. In fact, it was impossible to mobilize it at all. The fierce attack launched by the German army on the opposite side had firmly pinned the US-Canadian coalition forces to the mainland.  On the battlefield, deploying troops under such circumstances is almost like seeking death.

    The independent division's millions of troops joined the North American battlefield, allowing Marshal Rommel, commander of the German Army Group South America, to finally have the capital to organize several directions and focus the attack. Don't look at the fact that Germany has assembled more than six million people on the North American battlefield.  It has a huge force, but it is still insufficient when it is distributed in the vast northeastern battlefield and eastern battlefield of the United States.

    Now, the German army is specifically responsible for attacking the eastern defense line of the United States. It can concentrate its superior troops and firepower and achieve breakthroughs at certain points. Rommel is a very talented military general and formulated an operation code-named "Final Operation"  plan,

    The key point of the plan is to divide the German troops into three parts, with Jefferson City, Nashville and Atlanta as the key breakthrough directions. In the three breakthrough directions, nearly 10,000 tanks, tens of thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces, and more than 10,000 large-caliber artillery pieces will be concentrated.  With a combat aircraft and a strength of more than six million men, Rommel was tired of the stalemate in the North American battlefield, and he strived to complete his achievements in one battle.

    After Rommel¡¯s combat plan was reported to the Joint Staff, the German Chief of Staff and Chief of the German General Staff, Marshal Strongs, expressed great appreciation.

    Lieutenant General Zhao Yuhe, China¡¯s chief chief of staff and chief of staff of the independent division, was thoughtful. With his eyes, he could tell at a glance that the Germans were fightingIt is a battle that relies on superior troops, powerful ground and air firepower, and the assault capability of armored groups.
