Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to this disclosed secret document, Germany will first provide economic and military assistance to Mexico to help Mexico establish a modern armed force, while Mexico will provide Germany with a military port.  The Germans would then mobilize part of their troops to Mexico in the name of joint military exercises and help the Mexicans build a defense line against the United States.  Then the German army disguised as the Mexican army will launch an attack from Mexico towards the Lone Star State in the name of recovering lost territory. When the main force of the US army is attracted in this direction, with the cooperation of the surrendered British, the German army  It will use thousands of ships in the hands of the surrendered British to land in Canada and launch an attack on the Great Lakes industrial area of ????the United States.  Destroying the entire Great Lakes industrial zone in one fell swoop, forcing the United States to surrender.  Of course, strictly speaking, the feasibility of this plan is still almost zero.  Because almost all of this is based on the super insensitivity of Americans.  But a plan for a war that will determine the fate of a country puts the possibility of victory on the premise that the other party makes mistakes.  This is definitely not a good plan.  However, this is already the most reliable plan to capture the United States, because the others are even less reliable.  After all, the geographical environment of the United States is really good. It is separated from Europe by the Atlantic Ocean. As long as the Americans themselves do not get dizzy, no one in the world can really defeat him with the current national power of the United States.  Therefore, even the British could only formulate a combat plan that was similar in style to that drawn up by the Japanese Showa staff in later generations.  To be honest, such a thing should be unconvincing. No one with a little education and a brain as big as a monkey would believe such a ridiculous plan.  However, this is not the case.  Countless facts prove that the vast majority of people are very stupid, even if they have received so-called higher education, because many times the purpose of education is not to make people wise, but to make people confused.  Just one thing, as long as you pay attention to the Weibo of the big V of the Zhuan family in later generations, you will know.  Moreover, various studies have also shown that a large amount of repeated information bombardment is enough to change a person's thinking and make them believe some ridiculous things.  For example, in later generations, the leader of an illegal pyramid scheme organization who was caught once said: "I have never seen anyone who can resist the propaganda of pyramid schemes for a long time, even if he is a senior intellectual with a so-called higher education, even if he has  He just studied economics, and it only took him seven days at most to become a fanatical MLM believer. "Now, almost all media in the United States have begun to angrily accuse Germany of its wolfish ambitions, although many people did not believe Germany at first.  People will do such stupid things, but soon they will be lost in the endless publicity and other people's different opinions.  "Is it true that everyone is wrong, but you are right? I don't know how much smarter the reporter of the National Newspaper is than you. They talk and laugh with the big shots in Congress all day long You are so young and naive." So  Many people who were originally doubtful became shaken and became full of doubts about themselves. Finally, they began to truly believe that everything reported by the media was true.  There are still some people with higher intelligence levels and more confidence. They still have not been deceived by the trend and still know that these propaganda are all lies.  However, just because they are smarter, they naturally know that the reporters of those media are definitely not stupid, and it is definitely not an accident that most of the media have unanimous opinions, so they can naturally see that there is a terrible power behind this.  , then, these smart people will naturally take the initiative to join the chorus and behave more radically to reap benefits; or, if they still have a little conscience, then they will remain silent.  Of course, if there are people who insist on the truth and stand up to expose the truth, they will also find that their voices are too quiet and no one can hear them at all.  ¡°For example, this is how German diplomats stationed in the United States feel now.  Although they also worked hard to refute the rumors, although on the surface, the American media also gave them the opportunity to refute the rumors. For example, when the German Embassy held a press conference to refute these rumors, reporters from all major media also came, and  All reported.  But when the Germans got the newspaper and read it the next day, they almost fainted from the reports.  The New York Times reported this. They first introduced the cause of the incident at great length. By the way, they summarized various so-called rumors, including previous rumors against Germany. Some of the rumors were also related to what the Germans actually did.  I made a comparison of the things that came out, and it seemed that I wanted everyone to see that these rumors actually came true later.  Then they recounted this rumor in detail, stopping at refuting the rumor. For example, the last sentence of this report: "As before, the German Embassy's announcementMr. Hansen, a local, still told us: ¡®These are all baseless rumors.  '" This, this, is this refuting rumors or spreading rumors? What about other media? Although the methods are different from those of the New York Times, the final results are actually similar. In short, the depth shown by the American media  The deep malice made all the staff in the embassy feel a chill. The Germans who can work in the embassy are smart people, and they all understand that the emergence of this phenomenon can only mean one thing, and that is: the United States.  They are making public preparations for participating in the war. They also understand that all they can do is to inform the country of all this and slow down the Americans' participation in the war as much as possible. But, they have not yet done anything truly effective.  The United States took action first. First, several Democratic senators asked Germany to provide a detailed and sincere explanation for this plan. Then several Republican senators also joined in, and they even proposed a plan.  The more demanding proposal requires Germany to immediately cease unrestricted submarine warfare to show its peaceful attitude "Marshal Hindenburg, now that the Americans are demanding that we immediately cease unrestricted submarine warfare, what do you think we should do?"  "Emperor Wilhelm II asked his chief of staff. "Your Majesty, this situation was originally expected by us.  You know, the interests of the United States are already closely tied to Britain and France, and now for their own interests, they will not allow Britain and France to lose the war.  Therefore, as long as Britain and France are in an unsustainable state, they will join in and fight against us.  However, it will take time for the United States to be ready to enter the war and to be truly effective.  Your Majesty, you also know that the U.S. Army is still only a security force.  There are only more than 100,000 people, and the equipment and training are also very insufficient.  It will take time for them to expand their army to millions, equip it and train it.  "Marshal, how long do you think it will take for the Americans to complete all this?"  Emperor William II asked. "It will take at least eight to ten months. Under normal circumstances, it should take about a year."  " Marshal Hindenburg replied. "Once the United States completes its preparations and enters the battle, it will be impossible for us to win, or even have a decent peace, right?  Emperor Wilhelm II asked. "Yes, Your Majesty."  Therefore, we must seize the time. On the one hand, we must contact the British and French to discuss the possibility of peace; on the other hand, we must also find ways to win the war before the United States when peace is impossible.  "Marshal Hindenburg replied. "Then can we first agree to the United States to stop unlimited submarine warfare in order to delay time?  " "No, my lord.  If we stop unrestricted submarine warfare, the power of Britain and France will rapidly increase. By that time, the situation on the battlefield will be very unfavorable to us. By then, we will be defeated without the need for the United States to join the war. And in  Under such circumstances, in order to compete for the fruits of victory, the United States will become more actively prepared to participate in the war.  Therefore, we must not stop unrestricted submarine warfare.  Marshal Hindenburg replied. Seeing that Emperor Wilhelm II still seemed to be wavering, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, you just gave the hull number to our latest submarine launched a few days ago. Do you still remember?"  That kind of submarine?  "Marshal, are you talking about the kind of submarine that can reach a surface speed of more than 20 knots in a short period of time?"  Emperor William II thought for a moment, nodded and said, "We can only count on it."  "In fact, both Hindenburg and William II understood that this kind of fast submarine has more advantages in dealing with high-speed merchant ships than previous submarines. However, considering the strong rapid shipbuilding capabilities of the United States,  , this cannot really cut off the maritime transportation lines between Britain and France, and this submarine can have such a fast surface speed, but it actually comes at the expense of its submarine capability and self-sustainability, which makes the real combat effectiveness of this submarine very questionable.  Doubtful. But now, what else can they do but hope for it? "The Germans really refused to stop unrestricted submarine warfare.  "Gladstone said to Scrooge. "Then what are your next steps?  asked Scrooge. "Several of our friends intend to pass a proposal to permit the United States Navy to escort merchant ships carrying American merchandise.  This proposal should be passed in Congress soon, and then, as long as we have a slight conflict with the Germans, we will declare war on Germany.  "Gladstone replied.
