The Rise of the Third Reich

After meeting and talking with three US military generals, "War President" Wallace will next meet with Democratic presidential candidate Truman, Senate Democratic leader Buckley and Democratic Party veteran Garner.

This is a critical moment in the U.S. presidential and congressional elections! Moreover, the Democratic Party, which was originally in dire straits, actually experienced a turn for the better due to Roosevelt's death. After all, Roosevelt is a "veteran president" who has led the United States for nearly 12 years. Although he made some wrong decisions, his contribution is still indelible. After his death, memorial activities were held across the United States. Through these activities, many Americans realized the benefits that the New Deal had brought to them. Therefore, the approval ratings of the Democratic Party and Truman miraculously increased a lot.

According to Gallup's poll, after President Roosevelt's death, Truman's approval rating rose from 26% to 27% to 31%, while Dewey's approval rating dropped slightly to 36%.

Although the gap between the two parties was still 5 percentage points, Truman and the Democrats still saw hope of victory.

Moreover, because of the news of the victory at Pearl Harbor and Germany's suspension of missile attacks on the United States - this is because the German Air Force and Navy are preparing to replace cruise missiles with a larger range. Compared with hit accuracy, range is actually an easier problem to solve. All that is needed is a larger fuel tank and an appropriate reduction of the charge or an increase in the total weight of the missile. This allows the Americans to see hope of victory. Therefore, in Gallup's poll, the United States supports continuing the war. The proportion of people has also reached 65%. President Wallace, who made a high-profile declaration of determination to fight in his inauguration speech, also has an approval rating of 60%.

After studying the polling data, Truman, Buckley and Garner all believed that the Democrats still had a considerable chance of winning.

"Mr. President, we need a victory!"

In the Oval Office, Democratic leader Buckley told Wallace: "A victory that can boost the morale of the American people...a victory should come before the presidential election is voted on."

"No problem." President Wallace answered happily, "The Central Pacific Command can announce the liberation of Oahu before November 6... This will be a major victory."

"This won't work," Garner said. "What we need is a victory against Germany. We must defeat the Germans in a medium-sized battle. Only in this way can we significantly improve national morale."

Of course, it also boosts the Democratic Party’s election! President Wallace already understood what Truman, Buckley, and Garner wanted.

"Let me think about it..." President Wallace did not immediately agree to Truman, Buckley and Garner.

"Mr. President, we are currently fighting the Germans in British Guiana and the Valparaiso Bay-Santiago area on the coast of Chile, as well as in many places in Brazil." Buckley said, "I think there will always be a place that can bring us victory. ? If that doesn’t work, we can just fight on the Atlantic Ocean.”

Wallace's brow furrowed. what is this? A senator, a presidential candidate and a former vice president teach the current President of the United States how to perform his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces?

If Roosevelt were here, would they dare to do this?

Truman saw that Wallace's face was a little unhappy, and he quickly smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Mr. President, if we want to preserve the results of the New Deal implemented by President Roosevelt, we must win the election soon. If we lose the election, then The Republicans who obey Wall Street will come to power and control Congress. At that time, all the New Deal will be abolished one by one, and the United States will return to the era before President Roosevelt came to power."

President Wallace thought for a while and nodded: "I understand what it means to lose the election, but can we achieve electoral success by relying on military adventure alone?"

"Of course not," Truman said. "The Democratic Party should be more progressive!"

"More progressive?" Wallace became interested.

"An alliance with the Bolsheviks!" Truman actually offered his own price - in exchange for Wallace launching a military adventure!

"What is an alliance?" Wallace belongs to the **** of the Democratic Party, and his position is very close to that of the Bolshevik Party in the United States. Naturally, he hopes to bring the Bolshevik Party over to become his political ally. Therefore, he is not satisfied with a purely conceptual alliance.

Truman and Buckley looked at each other, and Buckley said, "We are giving up one senatorial and two representative districts and one ministerial position."

This is a big profit! Even though the presidential candidate of the Bolshevik Party in the United States has about 10 percentage points of support in the polls, if it is actually elected, it is unlikely that a few representatives will be elected, and it is even more likely that the entire army will be wiped out in the Senate.

Because the voters who supported the Bolshevik Party were relatively scattered, it was difficult to form a joint force. And in the American South, many blacks who supported the Bolshevik Party did not have the right to vote at all.

However, Wallace was still not satisfied with Truman's conditions. He thought for a while and added another condition: "I think an investigation should be launched into the National Fascist Party to find out whether the party colluded with the Nazi Party."

The National Fascist Party was formed by the reorganization of various Nazi and fascist parties in the United States before the war between the United States and Germany and Italy. It is indeed suspected of colluding with the Nazis. However, in order to improve relations with the Roman Empire, Roosevelt later allowed the Nazi and fascist forces in the United States to conduct legal political activities in the name of the National Fascist Party.

"The Democratic Party thinks so too." Buckley agreed to Wallace's additional conditions - in fact, he had a good relationship with some politicians of the National Fascist Party and knew that they were patriots. Fascists and Nazis are both nationalists, and unless the country they identify with changes from the United States to the United States of Europe, they are unlikely to be treasonous.

However, for the benefit of the Democratic Party, Buckley agreed to President Wallace's request. Although Wallace did not need the support of Democratic leaders to order the FBI to investigate the National Fascist Party, without the support of the Democratic Party and Truman, FBI Director Hoover would definitely violate it. After all, there was no need for Hoover to fight with a rapidly rising political party like the National Fascist Party for the sake of an "interim president" who would not last more than a few days.

"That would be great." Now Wallace was finally satisfied, "I think we can launch a strategic counteroffensive in the Pacific-South America direction...attack the loyal lackeys of the German Nazis - the so-called Nazis - from the air and land at the same time. The Peronist Regime of the New Asbanian Federation.”

…

"What? The Democratic Party and the Bolshevik Party in the United States announced an alliance, and the FBI wants to investigate whether the National Fascist Party colluded with the Nazis?"

Imperial Marshal Hersmann, who was in Zossen, Germany, was well-informed and soon knew who the two axes of "Wallace's three axes" were hitting.

"I still underestimated him." Hessman shook his head slightly after listening to the report of Lieutenant General Geiger, director of military intelligence.

"Marshal of the Empire," Guderian, who was now also in the Joint Intelligence Command Center of the General Staff, asked Hersman, "do you think Wallace's policy will have an impact on the front line?"

"Frontline?" Hessman thought for a while, "I think so! There are still two weeks to vote. If the Democratic Party still wants to fight, they will definitely make good use of these two weeks. Albert, Hein "Tz, where do you think Wallace will attack us?"

"It is impossible to start in Guyana," Albert Kesselring said. "The US troops who landed in Georgetown are now in trouble and it is impossible to launch a counterattack."

Because after the Battle of Bermuda, the U.S. Navy did not dare to compete with European navies again in the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, the U.S. military that landed in Georgetown fell into the dilemma of insufficient logistical supplies. They could only obtain supplies from fast transport ships (modified from flat-deck destroyers), and were in a very difficult situation. It is impossible to launch a counterattack. It would be very worthy of the Democratic Party to hold on until the general election voting day in early November before retreating or being eliminated.

"Then it must be a counterattack in Chile." Guderian said, "Looking at the map, the straight-line distance between Valparaiso Bay occupied by the US military and Santiago, the capital of Chile, is less than 100 kilometers. And we are in the southeastern Pacific Ocean Without a large fleet, the Americans do not have much problem with their logistical supplies.”

Hessmann nodded and agreed with the analysis of the two German marshals. He paused and added: "It is estimated that the Americans will bomb Buenos Aires. If they can bomb Buenos Aires A military coup and Truman would win."

Guderian added: "Don't worry in Santiago. There is already a Marine Corps division and an airborne division there. They are all veterans who fought on the European battlefield. The Americans will never be able to defeat them. And from Valparaiso Bay to Santiago is hilly all the way.”

Hersman suddenly interjected: "You can put the Americans under the city of Santiago and then give them an annihilating blow."

Guderian thought for a while, nodded and said: "This should be easy. I think we can mobilize a few more mountain divisions to go to Chile, and let General Scherner's 19th Mountain Army Headquarters go to Santiago to unified command the Chilean battlefield. Allied forces on board.”

"Okay." Hessmann nodded, and then turned his attention to Air Marshal Kesselring, "Albert, how are the preparations for Buenos Aires' air defense operations?"

"The 3rd Anti-aircraft Artillery Corps and the 8th Aviation Division have been deployed to Buenos Aires," Marshal Kesselring said, "and we have also deployed 16 near Buenos Aires and Santiago. radar station.

In addition, the New Asbania Air Force also has certain strength and is equipped with more than 300 fighter jets, all of which are advanced fighter jets provided by us. If the Yankee plane comes, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. "
