Chapter 30 Trouble (11)
"God, is it because I am hallucinating or is the world in chaos?" Donovan exclaimed, "The Germans want to establish a country for the Jews? Are they eager to kill the Jews and then hurry up?"
Looking back, Roosevelt and Hopkins both frowned and thoughtful.
After a few moments, Roosevelt asked in an uncertain tone: "I remember the Zion organization's goal was to establish a state in Palestine, and they didn't look down on it elsewhere?"
"There is indeed a statement."
"How could they accept the founding of Zambia? I remember that Britain had proposed the Uganda plan or the Madagascar plan, and they were all opposed without exception?"
"Yes, then the Belfort Declaration... But this is not the key, the key is now they..." Hopkins sighed, "I don't know what the Jewish people in our country will think, but I can guarantee that this is very attractive to the Jews in Germany, Poland, and Russia."
Roosevelt nodded and said unwillingly: "The Nazis started out on anti-Semiticism. Now that Hitler dares to do this, how much control he has over the party or the entire country."
Roosevelt, Hopkins and others obviously saw the significance behind the Jewish independence and founding, but they were not aware of the psychological expectation of Hoffmann in promoting Jewish independence and founding. When Jews were brought out from concentration camps for labor, their fear would be reduced a lot. When they heard that the most active elements in labor could give priority to ending labor and living in Zambia, everyone was willing to work hard. Who would foolishly express their stubbornness to Palestine? As soon as this news was released, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Sperm were delighted to find that the labor efficiency of the Jewish labor force had increased exponentially.
Palestine is now a territory firmly controlled by the Arabs. After the First World War, nearly 600,000 Jews who moved here after the German army entered, naturally became part of the Middle East's oil pipeline army. If the first thing the Arab national forces are most grateful to the head of state was to drive away the British colonists, then driving away the Jews was the second thing they generally sincerely supported. Whether in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran or Neizhi, everyone said, "In anti-Semitism, the Arab and German nations naturally have common interests!"
Sometimes, Hoffman also finds it strange that Britain and the United States want oil from the Middle East and hope that the Middle East will be stable, while stuffing Jews that Arabs don’t like, which is simply a split personality.
After dismantling the Jewish time bomb, even the most objectionable officer Junker in the army expressed appreciation, saying that it was a perfect and decent ending. SS officers with fierce anti-Semitism believed that the Jews had paid the price for their "crimes" and it was unnecessary to kill them.
Roosevelt finally said in a deep voice: "It seems that London cannot fly to you. Let's talk about this matter to Winston. At least the Jews in the British and American allies cannot be fooled. We must expose Hitler's hypocritical nature."
On August 1, the same day when the United Fleet shelled Sydney, Donovan and Hopkins, who were worried, embarked on the plane. Although this specially modified C-97 looks no different from an ordinary transport plane on the outside, its internal facilities have been luxuriously decorated and is one of the few business passenger planes on the strategic transportation route.
Before boarding the plane, they got another bad news: the German fleet was found in the canal area, and most of the main warships were there! In order to find out this news, Donovan's agents lost 7 people, and finally relied on Menzies's personnel to convey the news. After repeated attacks by the Gestapo, the intelligence network remaining in the Middle East of Britain and the United States was becoming increasingly shaky.
Due to the time difference, it was already evening when the two arrived in London. In order to give them plenty of energy for tomorrow's meeting, the two of them who were in good health soon got into bed.
But at 11 o'clock in the evening, something that surprised Hopkins happened, and the secretary called him: "Prime Minister Churchill is about to arrive in the hotel lobby. If you are convenient, he hopes to visit you in 15 minutes."
"Is there something urgent?" Hopkins met Churchill in his pajamas, but soon found something was wrong with the other party's subordinates closed the doors and windows tightly, and the temperature in the room slowly began to rise.
"There is indeed something urgent to do." Churchill looked at Hopkins and said, "Harry, I know you are President Roosevelt's confidant. You will convey what I say to you word to him without missing a word?"
"Of course, what happened?" Seeing Churchill's face hesitation, Hopkins became very nervous, "Is there any very bad news?"
"Yes, do you know about the Duke of Windsor?"
"I already know that the President is very concerned about this and he authorized me to convey the following comments to you: the United States will provide you with all possible support."
Churchill nodded heavily, sucked a big cigar hard, and finally hesitated for a long time, hesitated and said hesitantly: "In this matter, I need your selfless help."
"You mean?" Donovan next to him made a gesture with his hands, "I hope we can solve this problem..."
"Including him."
"Including..." Hopkins carefully recalled the word. As a speech master, Churchill had a rich vocabulary and he would not simply use the word "include".
But Hopkins is also a smart person. He didn't ask, "Who else?" and just asked, "What else do you need?"
"Can we use all the resources currently being deployed in Great Britain by the United States?"
"Of course, they all accept your command."
"Including the use of the army?"
Another sentence "including..." Hopkins is still savoring the meaning behind this word. Donovan, who has experienced skill in "subversion" in South America for many years, was shocked to stand up. He fully understood Churchill's meaning. This scene is exactly the same as the tone of the military power minds of small South American countries when soliciting opinions. If something happens, can I count on assistance from your country?
Once the US nods, it will take not long to have a "revolution" or military coup.
"This is simply, it's..."
"It's simply incredible, right?" Churchill smiled bitterly. "I never expected this to happen today. They have agreed to announce the relocation of the king and government to Canada at the right time, and then organize a new regime in the local area to withdraw Great Britain from the war. I will resist again in North America and finally be kindly planning to save my life."
"Who is taking the lead? Can we talk to him?"
"No need, they should have joined the Duke of Windsor. It depends on whether they can reach an understanding with Hitler..." Churchill shrugged, "They naively thought that they would be treated by the Betan regime, and I would become Charles de Gaulle in England."
"This is really bad news." Since it has been said, Hopkins is no longer reserved in his speech. "The position of Great Britain is very important and is the most critical link in the entire Allied system. Although we are in a difficult situation at present, the strength of the United States has not been fundamentally weakened. When the warships on the ship are well built and the domestic army is well trained, we can launch a counterattack at any time. The British Empire has resisted for four years with great difficulty and cannot fall before dawn anyway."
"If this is the case, you can't simply rely on these troops, they have never done this." Once the policy was determined, Donovan began to make a serious idea, and he had a say in this regard.
"A capable ranger team is needed, and there is no need to be too many. 200-300 people are enough. The army controls the situation, operates the ranger team and completes the tasks in one night. In this field, I think there is a ready-made example to learn."
"who?"
"Hitler cleans Rom's sword night!" Donovan said in an envious tone, "Just, neat, thorough, and later, the 'traitor group' that cleaned Goring was also very fast. Hitler was very talented in doing this!"
Now it's Churchill's turn to take a breath of air conditioning!
Hopkins glared at Donovan with dissatisfaction, and the latter immediately tactfully stopped talking. The president had not expressed his approval or disagreement. How could he hurriedly express his support? He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos? He misjudged who he would be.
Of course, Hopkins dared not say he was worried. It was obvious that the Prime Minister was ready to take risks, at least an alternative, and he could not express his opposition. The United States could not afford Britain no matter how it was. Once the British land withdraws from the war, not to mention that President Roosevelt's re-election would have a wrong turn, and the war against Germany might not be able to continue. The country was already in a fierce situation and believed that the European war was unnecessary. If another British withdrawal, it would be completely over.
After Churchill said goodbye, Hopkins and Donovan did not sleep well all night. When they woke up in the morning, their eyes were swollen. Now they finally understood why Churchill wanted to call them to London to discuss that it was impossible to take a telegram. The two of them did not dare to be afraid of sending telegrams back to their country. After a conclusion, they said that they would stay in London for one day and return to Washington tomorrow.
During the negotiations the next day, Churchill seriously raised two questions
The first is to question why the United States did not declare war on France;
The second is to ask the United States about the establishment of the Jewish state.
Aiden, who was accompanying the meeting, was surprised that these diplomatic issues were clearly the power of Secretary Hull, so why did the Prime Minister rush to attract Hopkins and Donovan? His eyes were full of doubts.
"As for the issue of declaring war on France, the president thought it was not suitable for the moment. First, France did not declare war on us and made a neutral request. As a traditional friendly country, we cannot ignore this wish; secondly, declaring war requires approval from Congress. At present, many members of parliament are French or pro-French, and it is very difficult to pass it; last and most importantly, France supported us during the War of Independence that year, and the Statue of Liberty was also given by France. The American people have a general favorable impression of the French people. The press has a less optimistic poll after it is revealed..." (To be continued.)
