Chapter 239 Wallace in the Vortex (continued)

"Your whole logic can be summarized into one sentence: talk to the Germans according to the conditions you proposed, and continue fighting if they fail, right?" Truman asked slowly.

Wallace gritted his teeth: "The complete strategy will have a lot of content, but the basic logic is almost the same."

"Very good, I understand." Truman nodded, "Now, I propose to hold a formal meeting between the Senate and the House of Representatives, suspend Vice President Wallace's power to perform his duties, and initiate impeachment procedures, and then transfer it to the FBI for investigation into whether he is suspected of espionage under the Loyalty Act, and convict it by the relevant judicial authorities!"

Just as a 5,000-pound super heavy bomb was put into the venue, everyone was stunned for a moment, and their hearts were almost almost about to pop out of their chests.

"You...you...you...you...you are swearing!"

“As a senator of the United States, do I have no right to propose an impeachment proceeding?” Truman responded with a serious face, “I will now explain to the meeting why I did this:

First, your peace conditions are far from that of Germany and cannot be linked together. The final result is undoubtedly a fight. But you first abandon the Soviet Union, then you are ready to abandon Great Britain, and you are also ready to abandon a series of allied countries such as Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, China, Canada, Brazil, etc. In the future, the United States will fight against the Axis countries. One is that allies are spread all over the world, and the other is that they are alone. I suspect that you have broken up the alliance system in the name of Germany and let the United States cut off their own allies;

Second, whether to declare war or peace must be reviewed by Congress. If you think that a certain commander or some commander is incompetent, you can replace and adjust within your authority, but you have not gone through more in-depth negotiations now, especially when you are only exercising the presidential rights, and have not passed the resolution of Congress, you have questioned the issue of peace and war without authorization. This is to help the enemy collapse our military and people's hearts. Who doesn't know that people will die in war and suffer losses. 800,000 people are more than 80,000 people, isn't there a lot of 300 billion? 300 billion is a loss, isn't 30 billion a loss? Defending national dignity, defending territorial and sovereignty integrity, and protecting the free world is our unshirkable responsibility. This can be used to bargain and evaluate simply with digital losses? Is life so precious that it is too much to be a slave?

Third, the United Nations Declaration once stated that it would use all its strength to fight the axis to the end. Now the United States can tear up the treaty and make peace in advance. Is Great Britain possible? Is the Soviet Union possible? Is Australia and New Zealand possible? Even if peace talks are a rumor, it is a rumor, and severing allied aid is also a rumor, but the news has been spread, and turmoil, rifts, and the seeds of suspicion have been laid. Can we still expect allies to continue to work sincerely with the United States in the future without any grudges? Isn’t this the most prominent feature of political spies fanning the flames and fearing that the world will not be in chaos?

So, from any perspective, your ideas and strategies are helping the Germans and dragging the Americans back. Can we still tolerate such a person to continue working in this position?”

"be opposed to!"

“It makes sense!”

"be opposed to!"

"support!"

The venue was suddenly in chaos. There were many people on the left of the Democratic Party who agreed with Wallace's views, while the Democratic Party's right and some Republicans agreed with Truman's views. No matter what the stage says, the Democratic Party seems to be split first. Will a vice president from a Democratic Party be proposed to be impeached in public by a senator who is also a Democratic Party. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

In fact, there was no particularly shady news in Wallace's speech just now. Most of the battle situation, losses, results and other situations were reported to Congress. Many of the news have also been publicly reported to the public. Roosevelt went to Congress to participate in the inquiry just to explain the failure of several major Navy battles. The main shock of Wallace's speech was that all the losses were accumulated and systematically explained. Most people just heard it, forgot, who would add them together.

But this obviously does not include Truman. He knows far more and more profound news than Wallace, who specializes in investigating internal corruption and extravagance in the army. For example, on the eve of the Torch Campaign, the materials needed by the army had been purchased, but due to the chaos in management and transportation, they could not find them before boarding the ship, so they could only purchase a new batch; for example, many goods could be ordered directly from the manufacturer, but due to negligence or chaos in the logistics department, they could not be taken out at all, and they could only go to the mall to purchase or urgent orders to waste money invisibly; for example, the waste of arms production represented by 20mm aviation machine guns (already mentioned above), he knew clearly.

Of course, he held the complete numbers for casualties, consumption, and war losses, and he also knew how the military dealt with these losses in the battle report: for example, if its own losses cannot be reduced, it listed the opponent's losses, showing that this result is normal; if the losses are much larger than the opponent, it will exaggerate the opponent's military, have outstanding military power or have absolute advantages. For example, to cover up the failure of the Eighth Air Force air strike, it will exaggerate the great power of the jet fighter; for example, to cover up the failure of the Eighth Air Force air strike, it will exaggerate the great power of the jet fighter;

The weak combat power of the army division is used to exaggerate the power of the Tiger tank. In the army's battle reports, the German Tiger tank is the world's number one tank with one or ten. Each German armored division has at least 80 Tiger and 300 No. 4 tanks. How can I fight? If I really can't push it, I'll say that allies are incompetent. For example, the Battle of Bermuda was the incompetent British defenders, the defeat in Newfoundland was the incompetent of two Canadian masters, and the Horn of Africa was the incompetent of the Royal Navy. In short, these arts that blamed Truman were all from Menqing.

Logically speaking, Truman should have a deep hatred of the army, but he knew that there were too many factors involved. Politicians, senior officers, chaebols, lobby groups and other forces were all intertwined, and allied relations were involved. If these dark stories were revealed, could the American people still fight happily? Truman is very clear about the situation of the army. Officers, especially senior officers, are fighting with all their hearts and strengths, and they cannot defeat the Germans. The Japanese have many reasons. The most fundamental thing is that the United States does not attach importance to national defense forces and does not worship the spirit of martial arts. If the profession that young people in a country most yearn for is just lawyers, businessmen, and doctors, how can they compare with the atmosphere of the young people who are the most yearning for becoming the Imperial officer profession?

He has a thorough understanding of militarism: militarism is full of fighting, doing politics for war, learning culture for war, doing scientific research for war, developing economy, improving civilization, or preparing for war. On the one hand, the Japanese and German people are looking forward to fighting, and on the other hand, the American people are looking forward to making a fortune and doing business. Only when they can fight by surprise can they fight will there be ghosts. Therefore, he has a high tolerance for losses, thinking that this is the price that the United States must pay to transfer from the peace system to the war system. When the United States joined the war, the Germans had fought for two years and conquered most of Europe. Japan had fought for four years and conquered several times its local territory. It was understandable to suffer some losses and pay some war tuition. He thought that the tuition fees were paid almost now, but Wallace said he would not fight anymore. What should he do if the tuition fees had been invested? What should the soldiers who had already sacrificed?

He looked down on such people a hundred: before the war, he kept saying that the United States was the first, opposing the war; when he fought, he was very enthusiastic, so he wanted to teach him a lesson; after going out, he got hit on one leg, he became scared, and said he would not beat him anymore, and he had something to say.

Wallace also didn't like Truman, and did not look down on this Missouri farmer. Truman was the last American president without a university diploma in history. His words and affairs were full of rural atmosphere. What did he know? The people from the Joint Association were crazy and were preparing to pay for Japan to aid the Soviet Union. Although there was a trick, as long as you have a little understanding of international politics, you can know that this is not a manifestation of war fanaticism and deviating from freedom and democracy to the extreme? What reasons do officers and politicians have to send blood to Japan without hiding the people? What reasons do not report the losses and consequences to the people?

His mouth moved, and he didn't want to tell the story of extortion fee for the time being.

Truman's proposal was not approved by the conference, but obviously this amazing word won him a lot of attention, especially the soldiers on stage and off the stage, who are now full of favor for this righteous senator. This is the American man!

Roosevelt's political opponent, Dewey, who had already said he wanted to participate in the presidential election, narrowed his eyes and thought about it carefully. Today's incident seemed a bit strange. Although it was a great opportunity to attack the Roosevelt administration, it was not ruled out that it was the bitter trick of director Roosevelt, who used Wallace as a pioneer to attract everyone to attack firepower, and then brought the situation back. Although Roosevelt was seriously ill, he was not dead yet. As long as he returned to the White House from the hospital, Wallace's rights would immediately break like a soap bubble. After all, Wallace was just acting on behalf of others rather than succeeding the throne in the true sense. Just look at the attitude of the members of the Association, and they would not take him seriously at all.

Therefore, his tone of attack was very formulaic. First, he believed that the Vice President's talk about peace and war deviated from the rights structure; second, he believed that the United States was the first to propose peace and deviated from international treaties, which was a major damage to the United States' international reputation. This voice was of course politically correct, but it did not intensify to the point where it was irreconcilable and was quickly submerged in the unanimous tone of everyone.

That night, he was interviewed by reporters. Although the reporters knew from the excited faces of the MPs, everyone was very nervous. Whether they were politicians who supported or opposed Wallace, they all smiled with signs: "The Vice President gave a very in-depth speech. We will pay attention to the subsequent developments. What is the specific content? It is recommended to interview Mr. Wallace himself directly."
