Chapter 965: The Price of Entering the War

The United States, Washington, White House.

"Mr. President, our Pearl Harbor, has been bombed," Marshall said to Roosevelt.

A sudden light flashed in Roosevelt's eyes: "Bomb? They finally bombarded our Pearl Harbor?"

After saying this, he realized that what he said was not appropriate and immediately changed his words: "These hateful islanders dare to come and bomb our territory!"

Marshall was still stunned. Before he could report, the president knew that it was done by the islanders? Even if it was his own aircraft carrier formation, after discovering the plane flying in, he thought it was bombed by the Germans!

"Mr. President, you guessed it right." Marshall said: "It was the islanders who dispatched aircraft carrier formations and attacked us Pearl Harbor. The most disgusting thing is that until now, the island countries have not officially declared war on us. This is a sneak attack and an insult to our America."

"Well, this sneak attack will awaken the Chinese people who are still sleeping in the dream of peace." Roosevelt said: "Now, the world is in the most dangerous situation. It is impossible to stay out of it. Germany, island countries, and their goals are all to dominate the entire world. Sooner or later they will pose a threat to us. Well, what are our losses?"

Roosevelt looked very relaxed, but Marshall's heart was extremely heavy. His Pacific Fleet was about to be crippled.

Now, after hearing Roosevelt's words, Marshall was about to answer, Secretary of State Hull came in: "Mr. President, the island ambassador has arrived at the White House, and he is going to submit his certificate to us."

"Nomura came in time!" Roosevelt said: "In the past, we always treated him as friends, let him come in."

"yes."

Roosevelt was very moved. The islanders were so good at teasing people. Roosevelt originally thought that the islanders were very law-abiding. Who would have thought that the islanders were crazy and were also very creepy, and even fought undeclaredly!

Nomura hurried in and said to Roosevelt: "President Roosevelt, on behalf of the island country, I formally declare war on your side. This is our letter of state."

Of course, Nomura knew what this meant. As long as he raised it, he, and the entire embassy, ​​would be temporarily detained, waiting for the fate of expulsion, but this was his mission.

Nomura solemnly submitted the letter of the country, but Roosevelt did not take over immediately, but looked at Nomura with a sigh: "We have received the news that your fleet has thrown a large number of bombs on our Pearl Harbor. Is your letter of declaration of war still useful? This is completely a battle without declaration!"

Nomura was very depressed. Originally, they had no intention of this. They wanted to submit a letter of war before their plane flew over Pearl Harbor. This would not be considered a sneak attack. However, by chance, their printer actually broke down, wasting time!

Even if he goes back, Nomura will be scolded by the country. He has to bear a lot of responsibility for this matter. Now, he can only bow and say with the unique modesty of the island people: "I'm sorry, our printer has broken down and has been delayed. Please forgive me."

Too much tolerate? Roosevelt sneered: "Your reason is too forced, right? A sneak attack is a sneak attack, why do you need to cover it up like this? The island country has launched a war against us now. Didn't the madmen in the island country think of any consequences?"

Consequences? In the past few years in the United States, Nomura certainly knew a lot of things. Once the American war machine was started, the island country would definitely not be an opponent. Now he caught the United States off guard and killed their Pacific Fleet. However, within two years, the United States will have a larger Pacific Fleet again!

The United States is invincible. I really can’t figure out how the domestic senior officials are so crazy that they want to go to war with the United States!

But now, he knew that he could not reveal such thoughts, after all, he represented the island country.

"Tell your government, be prepared to bear the anger of the United States, we must avenge the revenge of Pearl Harbor. Our bombers will appear over the island nation. We will tell the island nation with facts that the consequences of provoking us will be miserable."

Nomura retreated, and Roosevelt felt that the rebuke just now was quite satisfying.

A few times, Roosevelt took risks and cheated, causing the incident of Germany bombing the United States. As a result, the matter was exposed, almost causing Roosevelt to step down from office. Fortunately, he survived.

Now, this time, it’s finally true. The island country actually challenged the United States and bombed Pearl Harbor in the United States. This incident is just for a big deal. Let’s see if the isolationism in China still claims that the matter of the Old World has nothing to do with the New World. The fire of the Old World has burned to the New World!

"Marshall, how about the loss of Pearl Harbor?" Roosevelt continued the topic just now.

Roosevelt had been mentally prepared for a long time. Although there were several battleships left in Pearl Harbor, those were battleships from World War I and should have been renewed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it was just enough to expand its own fleet on a large scale.

As for the aircraft carrier, it has been transferred a long time ago, so there should be no problem, right?

"Our two aircraft carriers, Enterprise and Lexington, were sunk," Marshall said. "None of the warships anchored in Pearl Harbor were spared. All our equipment on Pearl Harbor, including the oil depots on land, were also bombed. Now, Pearl Harbor has become a ruin, and the specific numbers have not been counted yet, but at least, our casualties are more than 20,000, and our Pearl Harbor base has to be abandoned. The Pacific Fleet is disabled."

"What?" Now, Roosevelt finally stopped calming: "How is this possible?"

The two aircraft carriers have been transferred away, but they were actually sunk, which is a considerable loss! At the same time, the front and rear bombings were hit by three rounds of front and rear, and the roar of the Stuka bomber became a nightmare for many people in their future lives.

There are also bombers taking off from the island country. Although there are not many, they carry the most despicable incendiary bombs.

Pearl Harbor, already under bombing, turned into ruins in the sea of ​​fire, and the warships sank into the sea, accompanied by the passing of the lives of a large number of American sailors.

More than 20,000, this is just a conservative number.

Roosevelt's mouth twitched inexplicably. Could it be that the price that puts the United States into a state of war? What price does the United States have to pay to win this war?

"The main bombers of the island country are imported from Germany, and Germany is also responsible for this incident." Marshall said.

"Prepare for me, I'm going to speak to the whole country." Roosevelt said after pondering for a moment.
