BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1703: traitor
If possible, Prime Minister Churchill certainly hopes to unite with the United States to defeat Germany in one fell swoop. In that case, they will not only be able to regain their homeland, but even most of their colonies. This will be a great opportunity for the British Empire to rise again. But unfortunately, not only did they fail to defeat Germany, but they were in danger of being destroyed. Under such circumstances, naturally keeping the country is the most important thing.
"However, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. If we sign an armistice treaty with the Germans in this way, I am afraid that not only the Americans will be dissatisfied, but also some people in the country will be dissatisfied." David Magson reminded.
"The Americans, leave it to the Germans to deal with it. You can tell the United States through secret channels that although we signed an armistice treaty with the Germans, we will not participate in the war. I think the Americans will not either At this time, they are still trying to attack us, so add another enemy to them? As for those people in the country, there is nothing to worry about. As long as we still have the army in our hands, we can crush them at any time!" Prime Minister Churchill\'s eyes flashed Ruthless.
In order to protect their own status and interests, I am afraid that this time, I don’t know how many people will fall to the ground.
According to the agreement reached between the United Kingdom and Germany, after the United Kingdom has fully accepted the harsh conditions proposed by Germany, it can be regarded as withdrawing from the war. After the North American War ended, Britain had to fulfill those conditions. In the battle against the United States, Germany also generously expressed that it does not need Britain to intervene. In other words, the little strength of the British Army was not taken seriously by Germany at all.
The Royal Navy still has four "Hood-class" battlecruisers left. However, these warships are still in the Caribbean Sea. The British Admiralty has sent them an order to withdraw the fleet to Canada immediately. Leave before the Americans react. Otherwise, once the Americans learn that Britain has surrendered, they will definitely not let these warships of the British Navy go.
The matter of Britain\'s surrender, whether it is Britain or Germany, is kept secret. However, the United States still has a huge intelligence agency in the UK. Even if it is something that is kept secret, it is impossible to keep it secret. After all, paper can\'t hold fire.
Three days later, on January 19, the US Office of Strategic Intelligence, the predecessor of the CIA, learned that Britain had surrendered to Germany. After Director Donovan heard the news, he didn\'t believe it at all. After all, Britain is the most staunch ally of the United States! Moreover, the British have always wanted to take back their homeland, so how could they surrender to the Germans? But on second thought,. Britain suffered heavy losses in this war. The army lost most of its strength, and the navy and air force were almost wiped out. Under such circumstances, if the fight continues, there may even be the possibility of destroying the country. In order to keep the country, it is entirely possible for the British to surrender to the Germans.
Thinking of this, Donovan didn\'t dare to neglect, and immediately rushed to the White House to report the matter to President Roosevelt.
At this time, President Roosevelt was summoning Chief of Staff General Marshall, Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney, Chief of Staff Operations Major General Eisenhower, Army Air Corps Commander General Henry Arnold and others.
The disastrous defeat of the US-British coalition forces in the Canadian battlefield made President Roosevelt feel a very big crisis. Once they can\'t even resist the German army\'s attack, the consequences will undoubtedly be very serious. If not, they will really lose the war.
"Your Excellency, the remnants of the 3rd Army and 4th Army have already retreated to Maine. We will rely on the Appalachian Mountains to establish a defense line at the junction of Maine and Canada to block the German attack. In addition, the 5th Army The Army Group, the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army have all gone north. More troops will go north in the future. We will not only prevent the Germans from going south, but at the same time, we will do our best to defeat the Germans." Admiral Marshall said.
President Roosevelt nodded, but he no longer believes in the Army\'s combat power. After all, they lost so badly on the Canadian battlefield.
"First Army and Second Army, find a way to rebuild! Although they were wiped out by the Germans, they are our most elite troops after all." President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Admiral Marshall and others nodded.
As the U.S. Army continues to expand, the U.S. Army is not short of troops. Now, after deducting the hundreds of thousands of troops lost on the battlefield, the total strength of the U.S. Army has exceeded six million. And, it is still increasing. Given enough time, the U.S. Army will have more and more well-equipped and well-trained troops. If it is expanded to the limit, it is not difficult for the U.S. Army to have more than tens of millions of troops. After all, the population of the United States has now reached more than 130 million.
"Your Excellency, Director Donovan asked to see him. He said he has something very important to report to you." The secretary suddenly came in and reported.
"Please come in." President Roosevelt nodded. The Strategic Intelligence Agency, formed after the merger of the Intelligence Coordination Bureau and the military\'s intelligence agencies, is already the largest and most important intelligence agency in the United States. And Donovan, the director, naturally rose with the tide.
Afterwards, Donovan walked in with an anxious expression on his face.
"Your Excellency, generals. The British have rebelled. They have betrayed us, become traitors, and signed an armistice with the Germans," Donovan said.
"What?" The office suddenly fell silent. Everyone was shocked, as if they couldn\'t believe the news at all.
President Roosevelt\'s complexion immediately darkened.
"Director Donovan, can you confirm this news?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency President. It has been determined." Donovan nodded.
"Bastard, **** the British. If we hadn\'t helped them, they would never have gained a foothold on the North American continent. Now, they have betrayed us, **** it!" Major General Eisenhower cursed.
