Jagged Germany

  Senior officers and soldiers of the US government and important generals of the military rushed to the underground meeting room of the office one after another. The expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn, and they all knew why President Roosevelt summoned them now. In fact, judging from the current war situation, everyone can easily guess President Roosevelt's purpose.

  In less than half an hour, all the people President Roosevelt wanted to summon arrived in the conference room.

   "Everyone, everyone is here. So, let's start the meeting!" President Roosevelt said.

  Everyone looked to President Roosevelt. Although, everyone has already guessed President Roosevelt's intentions. However, until President Roosevelt said it himself, everyone was still not sure.

"Gentlemen, I don't need to say anything about the current situation. We are already at an absolute disadvantage in this war. Our army, despite its best efforts, still cannot withstand the German army Therefore, there is no need for us to continue this war. Even if we continue to persist, it will only increase some losses in the end. This is undoubtedly unnecessary." President Roosevelt said.

  The senior officials of the U.S. government and military attending the meeting nodded their heads one after another. Even, many people breathed a sigh of relief. The current battle situation is already very obvious. Everyone knows that the United States is no longer Germany's opponent. If you continue to persist, you will pay more casualties. But they were all afraid that President Roosevelt would be stubborn. In that case, in order to survive, or to preserve their own interests as much as possible, they may have to do other things. Fortunately, President Roosevelt still put the overall situation first.

"Gentlemen, we lost the war this time. I'm sorry, it was mainly because of me. If I hadn't insisted on challenging Germany's world hegemony, perhaps the United States would not have fallen into this situation." President Roosevelt looked guilty.

"Your Excellency, please don't say that. The decision to challenge Germany's hegemony was a unanimous decision by all of us. Even if you have to bear the responsibility, it should be shared by everyone, not by you alone. said Secretary of State Hull.

   "Yes, Your Excellency. This is a decision shared by all of us, and everyone should take responsibility!"

  Other people also spoke one after another. Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has already decided to recognize the reality, so he naturally wants to say some good things.

   "Gentlemen, I have decided to send someone to make peace with the Germans. Do you have any objections to this?" President Roosevelt asked.

  No one opened their mouths to raise objections, in fact, this is what they want to do. Everyone knows that summing up is undoubtedly the best choice now. It's just that everyone is a little uncertain whether the Germans will accept their summation. If the Germans insist on the complete destruction of the United States and do not accept their peace, that is the real crisis.

   "Your Excellency, it is the best choice to ask the Germans for peace. But the question is, will the Germans accept our peace?" Secretary of State Hull asked.

"I don't know, Mr. Secretary of State. But we can try. Now, we have no capital to confront the Germans. There is no other choice but to ask the Germans for peace. We'd better Pray like God, that the Germans will be merciful," said President Roosevelt.

  Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of these senior military and political officials in the United States became more dignified. As the ruling class of the United States, they also know Germany very well. Since the last world war, Germany has regarded the United States as its main enemy. This time, after the Germans have an absolute upper hand, will they let the United States go? That is certainly obvious.

"Gentlemen, we can send people to negotiate with the Germans. Satisfy the Germans as much as possible. Then, try our best to keep the American Republic. Only in this way can we have a chance to rise again. Otherwise, the United States will It's all over," President Roosevelt said.

  Others nodded again and again, they also hope to keep the American Republic. If even the United States ceases to exist, then everything is over. Of course, they also know that this is undoubtedly very difficult. Whether the Germans will let the United States continue to exist, they don't know. As President Roosevelt said, maybe the only thing to do is to pray to God and pray that the Germans will hold their hands high.

   "Your Excellency, if we compromise with the Germans on land reparations and military limitations, we may be able to keep the United States." Secretary of State Hull said.

  Generally speaking, it is indispensable to cede territory and pay compensation after defeat. In order to ensure its own world hegemony, Germany added the clause of restricting the military power of the defeated countries. Secretary of State Hull believes that the Germans will definitely make demands on the United States in this regard. If the United States can make greater concessions and compromises in this regard, it may be possible to keep the United States. However, this will definitely cost the United States a very high price.

President Roosevelt nodded: "You can think about it in this regard. No matter how high the price is, we must keep the American Republic as much as possible. As long as our country can continue to exist, we will have a day of resurgence. If we even If the country is gone, then there is no hope.”

  The founding time of the United States was originally very short, only more than a hundred years. In addition, the population of the United States is almost all immigrants. Immigrants from European countries and descendants of slaves from Africa have made Americans have a very low degree of identification with the United States, let alone forming a nation that can be accepted and integrated by all ethnic groups. Once the United States ceases to exist, these Americans will not be united. In that case, the United States will completely perish. Perhaps in a few decades, no one will remember the United States anymore. This excess will become a term in history.

   "So, Your Excellency, who should we send to make peace with the Germans?" Admiral Marshall asked.

  President Roosevelt looked at Secretary of State Hull: "Your Excellency, Secretary of State, it is up to you to negotiate with the Germans. I authorize you to negotiate with the Germans. This time, you will be solely responsible for the negotiations, and you do not need to ask me for instructions and reports."

  Secretary of State Hull knew that this was definitely not a good job. He wanted to refuse, but he knew that since President Roosevelt had spoken, there was no way for him to refuse.

   "Okay, Your Excellency, I will strive for conditions that are favorable to us as much as possible." Secretary of State Hull finally agreed.
