Chapter 854: war

"Mr. President, in fact, there is one more thing." Finance Minister Morgenthau continued: "Just before the German head of state Hitler took office, he had already borrowed a certain amount of funds from the big capitalists on Wall Street. In order to bring Germany out of the economic crisis, Hitler again borrowed heavily from Wall Street."

Back then, in order to save the German economy, Hitler's competitors proposed to reduce government expenditures, cut various benefits, and raise taxes at the same time. Of course, this plan would not be recognized by the public.

Hitler did the opposite. He wanted to carry out infrastructure projects across the country, government investment, and increase various employment rates. Hitler won. He successfully led Germany out of the economic crisis, and the German economy was developing rapidly.

Afterwards, no one asked, how did Hitler's capital construction come from?

Part of it was obtained from Jewish wealth. Before Cyric did not interfere, Hitler had already received large sums of money from Jews. After that, Cyric prevented Hitler’s persecution of Jews in time. Among them, it was useful. One group will stay, and many Jews will start donating money to Germany to survive the crisis.

However, these funds were still not enough. At that time, there was no money in the German treasury. Therefore, Hitler borrowed money. Who has the money? Of course, those financial predators on Wall Street.

The money borrowed back then was actually a mess. Over the years, Germany has continuously benefited these capitalists and allowed these financial predators to obtain a steady stream of wealth, but in fact, a lot of money has not been repaid.

Now, the Germans actually want to engage in the euro, so let the Germans have a taste of paying back!

At least, paying off debts is justified!

(In later generations, there is also such a saying that the reason Hitler declared war on the United States was to use this money. In short, if this is the case, it always feels that the price is a bit high!)

This night was destined to be a restless night. Almost at midnight, Roosevelt came to the radio station and made a statement to the whole country and the world.

"The truth behind the euro."

"The truth behind this is that Germany is trying to control the world economy and becoming the leader of the whole world. Germany can't wait. They control the whole Europe and want to turn our foreign exchange reserves into waste paper."

"Our people in the New World are peace-loving, but when looking at a terrible enemy growing day by day, we must also be vigilant. We don't want to fight, but we will never be afraid of war!"

"If Germany refuses to exchange foreign currency for us, it means war!"

war! Roosevelt made this word quite heavy.

"In fact, Germany has already begun an undeclared war against us. The Germans are bombing in our New York. Now, the Germans are in the Pacific again and attacked our transport ships." Roosevelt's speech was half of the total. Hour: "If we just tolerate it blindly, we can only look around us and put up the 4d flag!"

"And I am also unfortunate to see that up to now, Germany is still in the private sector of the United States and has high borrowing. It can be said that it was our borrowing from Germany that enabled Germany to successfully get out of the economic crisis and become what it is today. Terrible empire, I propose that we should immediately and comprehensively recover German loans and interest!"

...

It was late, and not everyone listened to Roosevelt’s speech, but that’s okay. At this time, all the major newspapers started to print newspapers. The headline tomorrow is war!

The Germans bombed the east coast of the United States and sank American cargo ships in the Pacific Ocean. The Germans' purpose was already very clear, which was to trap the United States to death on the American island!

After the sea is cut off, what ability does the United States have to fight against Germany?

This is a sleepless night.

Wichita, Kansas.

The location here is relatively remote, with woods nearby. It can be said that the entire factory was actually in the woods. After levelling several square kilometers of woods nearby, the factory was built hard.

The concealment of such a factory is quite good. At this time, the tall buildings of the newly built factory are brightly lit.

If you have been to an aircraft production workshop, you will be shocked by the huge size of this workshop. You must know that the aircraft is already big enough, and the production workshop must be able to accommodate a dozen or even dozens of aircraft at the same time. The aircraft is assembled together.

It is several hundred meters in length and tens of meters in width. Now, in this huge factory building, B-17 bombers are being assembled. This four-engine medium bomber is the main strategic bomber of the US Army Air Force.

In the corner of the factory building, there are two or three larger bombers that are undergoing maintenance.

This kind of aircraft, looking at the length alone, is about half longer than the B-17! It's taller, and the nose is quite smooth.

A large number of technicians were surrounded by them. Some of these technicians had even gray hair. They were making gestures. They were obviously engineers at the level.

And these bombers next to them are huge monsters with four engines. From the appearance, they are similar to the Atlantic airliners.

Here is Boeing’s most advanced B-29 bomber!

To say that Boeing copied the Atlantic airliner, it would be wrong to them. In fact, the origin of this bomber can be traced back to the Boeing Model 316 project This project was developed from the XB-15 in 1934. Come.

In 37 years, the XB-15 made its first flight successfully, but unfortunately it was seriously underpowered.

After that, Boeing raised its own funds and continued to develop strategic bombers.

Just this year, all of a sudden, the Army Air Force invested a lot of money to allow Boeing to manufacture this bomber as soon as possible.

Boeing knew that it was the German actions in Europe that stimulated them. The United States needs a large bomber like Junker-290!

Since then, the development of the B-29 has entered the fast lane, and President Roosevelt has personally urged many times to ask this bomber to enter service as soon as possible.

"Using the German solution, we successfully solved the overheating problem of the engine. Today's test flight showed good engine performance."

Now, it is the test pilot Edmund T-Eddie Allen who has been suffering from the overheating of the engine all this time.
