By the time Eleanor arrived at the ward, Roosevelt was already lying quietly on the bed under the care of the medical staff. Truman sat next to him, the thick curtains were pulled open, and the sun shone on Roosevelt's peaceful face, as if he had not passed away, but had just fallen asleep.

Eleanor's nose felt sore and he couldn't help sobbing. She had been rushing back and forth in the hospital in the past few months. On the way to home, she had received many signals from medical staff about "danger". But she didn't expect it to be true this time.

Truman stood up, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and said calmly: "Madam, the president has passed away, I feel very sorry, but he left calmly."

"I can see."

"Is there anything I can help you?" he asked.

Eleanor shook his head: "No. What can we do for you? You are in trouble now."

Five minutes later, the members of the Joint Council who received the emergency notice rushed to the hospital with the members of the cabinet and met Franklin Roosevelt for the last time. Huge grief shrouded everyone: the future of America is uncertain, and the leader who once led the United States to reverse the trauma of the Great Depression gave up and went to heaven...

At 3:40 pm, the funeral team was established in the hospital. Truman was the team leader, and the other two deputy team leaders were Hull and Shi Tinson, of course Hopkins was indispensable. The news was announced to the public opinion community based on public information from the government.

At 4:40 pm, a voice came from the radio: "We interrupted the program and reported a special telegram to the audience. The beloved President Roosevelt unfortunately died this afternoon due to a cerebral hemorrhage..."

The news of Roosevelt's death made many people feel so sad that they were breathless. Many people were immersed in grief. Even Dewey, who accused Roosevelt of a lot two days ago, had to change his tone in the interview, saying that "the president is a great person, and he has contributed everything to this country."

In the evening, Goebbels called Hoffman's office: "First of the People's Republic of China, I must inform you of a message that US President Roosevelt died this afternoon."

"Oh, okay... wait." Hoffman suddenly reacted and asked in disbelief with wide eyes, "Who? Roosevelt? I heard it right?"

"Yes, you heard it right. Roosevelt, a war dealer who has always been against us, is dead!"

"Why..." Hoffman almost said the words "Why did he die so early?" According to his memory, Roosevelt should have died in 1945, and now it has been 10 months in advance. Of course, he had known that Wallace had not finished his job as the vice president, and Truman was the vice president in advance and acted as president. Roosevelt gave up his attempt to re-election for the fourth time. However, all of this combined cannot withstand the impact of the news of Roosevelt's death.

Compared with history, although Goebbels is very happy now, he is not yet ecstatic, because Germany is now at its peak and is in a strong position. In his opinion, Roosevelt's death or not will not change the direction of the war.

"I guess the United States always loses. Roosevelt's personality can't stand it, right?" Goebbels guessed the reason correctly, "but this is beneficial to us. After eliminating this obstacle, there should be no principled obstacles to peace with the United States."

Hoffman nodded: "We should still show our attitude, express our condolences for Roosevelt's death in tonight's Voice of Europe program, reiterate our desire for peace and call on the new American leader to stand on the stance of German peace..."

"News from Moscow?"

"Wait for a moment, and wait until the treaty is indeed signed before it is announced. This will have a continuous impact on the Americans." Hoffman reminded, "Don't attack Roosevelt personally, nor do you get involved in the whirlpool of the political struggle between the two parties. We can say that Roosevelt brought the United States out of the Great Depression, and don't talk about other issues. We are different from Japan. We are not despicable villains, we are a group of fighting gentlemen!"

Earlier than Goebbels, Truman sent a telegram to Churchill, informing the news of Roosevelt's death, and at the same time he vaguely pointed out his request to agree to his "stabilize the overall situation" and stated that the order had been issued to the US military stationed in Britain.

Churchill took members of the cabinet to the US Embassy to pay condolences to Roosevelt. When he drove back, he was very thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking. After returning to the Prime Minister's mansion, he fell asleep on the sofa...

It was not until a long time later that he suddenly woke up and attracted his confidant.

"Master..." The thin but capable Jonathan Churchill stood in front of him, and he was also a member of the Churchill family, but he was a side branch.

"Are all the candidates I asked you to implement?"

"All have been done, the family members' list and property are divided into two parts, and the candidates for Canada have been implemented."

“There is something you need to do.”

"yes?"

“Day!”

The other party was a little shocked, but he still said in a conditioned reflexive manner: "I understand!"

"The power that Director Donovan leaves you must master, and they must unconditionally obey your command."

“No problem.”

"I'll give you 3 days to prepare, I need to make some preparations..."

"Master, have you really reached this point? Can't you leave quietly?"

Churchill shook his head: "It's not easy to talk about it. If you can't retreat at this point, you will be crushed to pieces... I hope you don't just fire me from the family in the future."

Jonathan immediately kept silent. Winston Churchill was not only the prime minister, but also the parents. Although Churchill did not have the title of duke, everyone admitted that only Winston Churchill deserved the title of heir to the Duke of Marbarrow, and with his current power, he had long surpassed a short duke, so the entire family followed him.

In the past two days, all the top noble families in the row have been divided into two, and they are fast-moving and are still looking for residence in Canada. High-end villas in livable places such as Ottawa and Vancouver have actually increased a lot of prices. Although Britain has been blocked very much, there is no problem for the nobles to leave the country, and there is also a transfer station in Switzerland.

The news of Roosevelt's death also reached Japan. In the past two days, the base camp's attention to the Delhi Battle exceeded any matter. After receiving two reinforcements and corresponding materials in the UK, morale was greatly boosted and he actually fought a rare bravery. The three giants Slim, O'Kinlek and Wilson commanded their troops to take charge of each section, and they were in a difficult position to fight with the Japanese army. In some areas, there was even a hand-to-hand battle that had never been seen before. The entire Delhi Battle was in a stalemate!

The tiger tanks that the Japanese army relied on were also severely damaged by firefly tanks, especially when the 17-pound cannon fired shell-piercing shells (apds), the armor-piercing power increased dramatically. Even the tiger-type front armor was not immune at close range. Yamashita Tomoto repeatedly warned the troops not to try to use tanks to fight street battles, but the army's red deer people always forget this when they were dumbfounded.

The competition in the sky was also extremely fierce. The British army obtained a batch of new Spitfire 14 fighters, which performed better than the early models such as the B-109 and F-190 in the hands of the Japanese. Even the Army's latest four-type fighter, the Wind, could only barely get a draw. However, the Stuka used by the Army was shot down a lot. Yamashita Tomoto complained to Tokyo and asked the Army to change to comets as soon as possible (although it was a Navy Red Deer aircraft).

The base camp is also very troubled by this. Now the Indian Japanese army has exceeded 450,000, and the Japanese army on the Delhi front alone has as many as 140,000. The intelligence shows that the British army in Delhi only has more than 90,000, but the battle situation is so fierce that it is still far beyond the base camp's expectations. Moreover, it is useless to add troops, and the battlefield is so big! However, everyone knows that the battle situation is at a critical moment. As long as Delhi is taken down and the British army's last heavy army group is defeated, the Indian strategy will be almost done.

Now the armor cannot enter, the plane cannot enter, and it is far from the coastline that it cannot be equipped with a naval gun for support. Yamashita Tomoto muttered that he wanted to build a railway gun to suppress the formation. Tokyo really contacted Germany urgently for railway guns. After hearing the price of the K5 and the difficulty of transportation, he shook his head. However, Germany promised to deal with several Japanese captured Russian-made and Polish-made railway guns. The base camp said it would consider it.

Even so, the news of Roosevelt's death still caused trouble in the base camp, but the bigger wave was the news brought by Cole: the Empire had signed a truce agreement with Stalin, and the Soviet Union was expected to retreat east of the Ural Mountains.

A stone caused a thousand waves. As soon as this news arrived, the base camp even put the war in India and Roosevelt aside to discuss the advance north!

King Minorhiko Higashimiya rubbed his hands first and said, "Entertainment Correct also conveyed the invitation of the German head of state and was preparing to hold the Three-Country Axis Summit in Cairo in late August and invite me to attend! I hope to solve the Indian issue as soon as possible before leaving. Of course, today's focus is on moving north."

"It's not easy to fight northward..." Ishihara sighed.

Hori Teiki also said: "It's okay to get some advantage, but the army will not support it when advancing northward."

This statement made Minorhiko Higakiri's face froze, but he knew his weight and did not dare to refute rashly, asking, "What should I do?"

Tada Jun shook his head, "The news from Cole is very clear. In the future, the Soviet Union will have 2 million troops. They only need to leave 500,000-700,000 on the Western Front, and 1.3 million in the Far East. We must guard against the Russians' secret expansion of their troops."

"With the geographical location and characteristics of the Far East and the number of enemy troops, it is impossible to attack without 2 million troops, and the mecha strength must be greatly strengthened." Ishihara Kanji sighed, "The Kanto Army is only one-third of this number, and it is more than self-retained and less enterprising."

"but……"

Everyone knows what the sentence "But..." of King Minorhiko Higashiji is, Germany has defeated the Soviet Union. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make a fuss, will the Russians still have a chance to recover in the future? I'm afraid that the Kwantung Army will have a fierce relationship again? I hate that the Germans did not destroy all the Soviet troops. Of course, everyone will not say this sentence openly: Japan and the Soviet Union are neutral, why should Germany kill the Red Army? What are the benefits of this for Germany?

"I have a suggestion..." Hori Teiki said his thoughts after pondering for a moment.
