spn United States, White House.【

A staff member in a suit and tie, clutching a document tightly, ran into the presidential office conference room.

...The current war situation is very detrimental to our interests and even endangers our fundamental security.

Although the Japanese gave up occupying the Hawaiian Islands, it was because of Yamamoto Isoroku's personal reasons. However, they gave up Hawaii and chose to launch operations in Australia. The first batch of Japanese troops will land in two months at the latest.

Australia, at that time, they will get countless mineral resources,"

Under such bad circumstances, the Soviet Union's actions completely violated the spirit of the war alliance and the London Agreement. They crossed the border without the consent of the allies and gave the Chinese an excuse. Zhang Shusheng was a national extremist. He did not

It might just be a simple declaration of war, most likely, ""[

"Mr. Marshall, I don't think the Chinese dare to take any reckless actions to further worsen the situation. You know, our army is less than 9 kilometers away from their Heilongjiang. If a real military invasion of the Soviet Union is launched, then it will be

To the greatness of America..." A senior official from the newly formed Department of Defense objected to Marshall's crisis rhetoric.

With a bang, the door of the conference room was violently opened. The visitor didn't even have time to knock on the door. He gasped, raised the document in his hand, and reported a surprising news to the well-dressed and powerful people in the United States in the office.

"China invades the Soviet Union on a large scale!"

As soon as the visitor finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation in the office. Although China declared war in the early morning, most people foresaw that the Chinese would join the war and fall to the side of the Axis Powers." But they did not expect that the Chinese would act like this.

Fast. However, the delay in information is also due to time difference.

Roosevelt rubbed his forehead, took the document from the staff, glanced at it a few times, and then said, "Dr. Signor," let me introduce the basic situation to everyone."

"Yes, Mr. President."

Signor looked at the bewildered group of people and said simply, "Because on the evening of the 3rd, Hanking time, China, the Soviets entered Chinese territory without permission," which triggered the Chinese declaration of war.

At exactly 8 o'clock this morning, Hanking time, China, preliminary intelligence showed that "a squadron of more than one division crossed the Sino-Soviet border from three directions and launched a very large-scale war against the Soviet Union."

That's not the worst.

According to the intelligence we just received from spies, the actual number of Chinese participating troops is approximately more than 2 million. In addition to their huge army, they also used thousands of aircraft, thousands of tanks, and tens of thousands of cannons.

Our agents could see countless aircraft flying towards the Soviet Union, and the movement of large tank groups passing by could be felt from a kilometer or two away.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the Soviets may have encountered a lightning operation similar to the "Barbarossa Plan." This time, although the Chinese launched the operation after declaring war, the Soviets also had no time to react. So far, their front lines

Airports, barracks, factories or other important strategic facilities are believed to have been subjected to devastating bombings."

Hearing this news, even the calmest officials could no longer remain calm. General Patton, who specially attended the meeting, tightened his grip on the edge of the table. As the top commander of the US military who is about to rush to the Far East to personally command the future Soviet battlefield,

He knew very well what kind of disaster it would be if the Soviet Union, which seemed to have a very large territory, was added with more than 2 million enemy troops.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, I want to say something. If intelligence confirms that there are more than 2 million squadrons attacking the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union is likely to be quickly divided into several parts by the Chinese.

Unlike the Germans who could only attack in one general direction, their border with the Soviet Union was more than 5,000 kilometers long. Mr. Signor, I would like to know from which three directions they launched the attack."

Patton turned to Dr. Signor, the White House's special military and political adviser.

Signor nodded, motioned to the staff to change to the map of the Soviet Union, and then drew three arrows on it with a pen, "The preliminary judgment is that it is the direction of Xinjiang, the direction of Mongolia, and the direction of the Far East."

Looking at the three thick red arrows, even a person who knows nothing about military affairs can see the seriousness. President Roosevelt couldn't help but ask, "Do the Chinese really want to kill the red arrows?"

Sex giant? God, this is incredible, General Barton, what do you think?"

Just as Barton was about to pick up the pipe, he put it back on the edge of the ashtray. He sighed, stood up, walked to the earth circle, waved his hands and said, "Gentlemen, if we follow these three directions of attack, then, next,

You are likely to see a scene like this."[

He picked up a pen and first drew a large circle on the west side of the map, roughly where Central Asia is, enclosing all of Central Asia. Then he drew a vertical line in central Siberia, dividing the Siberian Railway.

It divided the map into two parts: the east and west, and finally drew a large circle in the Far East, enclosing all the power maps representing the Soviet Union and the US military.

"Gentlemen, this is the rear area of ​​the Soviet Union. If there had not been an invasion by the Chinese, they would have provided strong support to the Soviet war just like the most honest Indian farmers. But now, they may all be occupied by the Chinese. Just like

The Germans do the same thing.

And here, once the Siberian Railway is cut off, it will have very serious consequences.

As for the Far East, don’t forget that there are still Japanese troops. Originally, there were more than two million Japanese troops who needed the great Soviet Red Army and brave American soldiers to eliminate them. But this time, if there are nearly one million Chinese reinforcements,

They can then surround us.

Look, this is the worst-case scenario and, of course, I think is a very likely outcome of war."

Barton waved his hand and sat back in his seat.

"Perhaps there could be no worse situation than this, Mr. Marshall. Didn't the staff foresee this situation before?" Roosevelt turned to Army Chief of Staff Marshall, the general who was about to be promoted to chief of staff.

Marshall stood up and said, "Actually, Mr. President," we foresee all possible worst-case scenarios. We believe that the Chinese may attack the Soviet Union, we believe that the Chinese may attack Southeast Asia, choose to join forces with us, and then attack the Far East.

, and finally even landed in Japan with us ""

Everyone was silent, which means he didn't say anything. Sure enough," Roosevelt's angry expression just now dissipated a little, and he turned to Copeland, the director of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, "Mr. Copeland, the Intelligence Bureau did not get the information before this"

Have you ever received any intelligence about the Chinese’s large-scale military mobilization?”

Copeland stood up and said quickly, "Mr. President," in fact, like General Marshall, we also received intelligence about the abnormal mobilization of the Chinese, but "when they mobilized millions of troops to the north, they also mobilized more troops to Southeast Asia."

Many troops.【

Maybe you don’t know that the Chinese army is very confidential.” Moreover, the difference between their reserve forces and the standing army is very small. It is difficult for us to distinguish whether they are the main force or the reserve forces used for feints.

, even the militia “…”

Seeing Roosevelt sitting there with his eyes closed, everyone stopped talking. At this worst moment, no one dared to touch the head of the president who was sitting in a wheelchair.

After a while, Roosevelt opened his eyes and said, "Although we have yet to see the Chinese's ability to complete the war and the combat effectiveness of the army," it is already a fact that they are a formidable opponent.

At this time it is too late to condemn Stalin's arrogance and stupidity. The worst has already happened. Now we must discuss how to deal with it. I hope that after this meeting, a preliminary consensus can be reached, and then external

Announcement.”

an hour and a half later

Roosevelt took over the secret terms of the meeting, looked at the preliminary results of the discussion, and concluded, "The result of the discussion is, first of all, to unite Britain and other Allied allies to discuss an overall response strategy.

In addition, first, increase the intensity of conscription and once again send more troops to the Far East. General Patton, who was originally going to the Soviet-German battlefield, was transferred to the Far East battlefield instead. Second, further implement the war production policy and increase the intensity of the war.

.Third, abide by the Allied Powers Treaty, implement strategic controls on trade, and prepare for a possible all-out war with the Chinese."

After the meeting, Marshall quickly followed Roosevelt and entered the presidential office together. "Mr. President, now is the time to win over more countries with benefits, join the Allies, and join this war. We need more troops, such as

Canadians, South America, "We must help them create and train more troops"

What these high-ranking military and political officials could not foresee was that many incredible changes were taking place across the United States.

Washington, Joseph Street.

Crazy car horns have already sounded on the street, but the traffic has not been relieved, and the street is still blocked into a long queue.

"Damn."[

Ms. Mace, who works for the Washington Post, took out the door of her beloved "Thrown" commercial car, endured the large amount of exhaust gas emitted by Ford and several junk-brand cars next to her, and looked eagerly at what was happening ahead.

"Congbi, why are there so many people?"

As soon as you see the intersection, a hundred meters ahead, there are already large crowds of people. As the most famous commercial center nearby, there are a large number of supermarkets and luxury stores. People even ignore the traffic rules and rush frantically.

Across the street is the largest commercial pedestrian street.

"Madam, do you know what happened?" A Ford S car opened next to him, and an Indian dressed as a supporter stuck his head out and asked Metz.

Mace held back his dislike for him and his old car and shook his head, "Only God knows."

Seeing more and more cars crowded together at the entrance, as if they were all rushing to this commercial center, Metz had no choice but to close the car door, take her camera, and walk forward. Looking at the traffic jam in front of her, she was talking about

She couldn't make it to the White House no matter what, and she definitely wouldn't make it to the emergency speech by the president that the newspaper wanted her to attend.

She needs to find a phone booth and ask a replacement editor to go to the damn White House press briefing.

From time to time, Metz finally came to the most crowded place and asked a woman who was trying to run towards the supermarket and store in front, "Madam, excuse me, what are you doing?"

"Huh? God, don't you know that the war has begun?" the woman asked.

"Oh, God, of course I know, I'm going to do an interview about the damn war," Mace said, waving his hand.

The 'woman' smiled and said, "We have declared war on the Chinese, so the prices of these products will increase in the future. Everyone is discussing the unfortunate news that Chinese products will be out of stock.

God, please forgive me, I need to buy more foundation, lip balm and "repair cream". Of course, it would be nice if I could grab the latest TV, or buy more medicines for backup, "Damn it."

Yes, these are all produced by the Chinese. After the war started, "we won't be able to buy them."

Until the woman carrying a bulging cash bag hurried into the store, Mace was still in a daze at the door. When she came to her senses, she also walked into a store.

As a high-income earner, a large part of Metz's daily expenses are cosmetics and skin care products, as well as new clothing, etc. She knows very well that those products are all produced in China.

The war has begun. Just now, there were hippies running on the street, shouting about the Chinese joining the war, and some people were dancing in the street to celebrate. "Although she didn't know why these people were so happy,"

Metz walked into a comprehensive supermarket. She just glanced around and saw a large number of products labeled "Made in China."

Almost subconsciously, Metz pulled the latest shopping cart in a mall and put the bottle of Osha shampoo in front of her into the shopping cart first. She has been using this brand of Chinese shampoo, which does not damage her hair.

The hair is very soft and smooth after use. It also has a good lightening effect.

Then it was like a robbery, grabbing the last five pairs of Misha stockings, three pairs of new high-heeled shoes, and several of the latest Iomega bras."

"We need this too," Mace said to himself, while putting cosmetics one by one into the shopping cart regardless of type.

Next, I bought several high-end Chinese lighters for my husband, Chinese-made toys for my children, and then "clothes and bags."

By this time, Metz had already spent all the cash he had on him, and even put it in the mezzanine of his car for emergencies."

After returning home, Metz, who had missed the interview, looked at the Chinese goods she had snapped up and filled a car full of them. She finally came up with a new news focus: They: Need Chinese goods

The accompanying picture shows that in a supermarket, because China has joined the war, there is a "tide" of people rushing to buy Chinese goods."

In the news, Metz wrote this: 6 "It's not that people are too crazy, nor that they are afraid of war, but that we can no longer live without Chinese products." In thirty years, our lives have been filled with Chinese

Made, these four charming Chinese characters, "The war has begun, and we will be forced to use "Made in the United States." This will be a sad result, "Perhaps, we should seek a solution."

In addition to the crazy market, some people have already foreseen that when the exchange opens next Monday, those stocks will plummet due to the possibility that China will join the Axis powers."
